No…a part of the combat is to simplistic even . So most sane ppl will never consider this an esport. And most esport players tried it and considered it a failure. Since Anet isnt willing and /or able to change anything to drastic it will never be an esport either.
Simplistic,true..But unbalanced in each and every way,since this game will never be balanced on 1on1 scenarios yet they balance it around zerg content wich should say enough.
Anet caving in to these posts just shows they got no clue, and their lack of knowledge about their own game,i couldnt even care anymore…I see where this game heading.
Helllllllll no,downed state is the Wort of the worst kitten mechanics ive EVER seen in any mmo ive played,and really that are more then 25+.If all,Downed state needs to be nerfed so all classes have the same stupid downed state as a warr has,Throw a rock and die.
Is it possible to get these in order from newest to oldest posts ? As of now,its pretty much a chaotic mess when looking at them.Starting with posts from a year back,random posts from 2 days back..a post from 3 months back etc.Would be nice to be able to see them in order from newest to oldest posts if possible.
Some people like to randomly scream noob when being killed by another player,it’s not limited to this game.It happens in alot of multiplayers,Bf4 for e.g.They will Always find a way to say youre a noob after you killed them;
1] Your build
2] Your playstyle
3] Your class..
4] Or simply because he cannot accept the fact that someone else was better than him in a fair 1on1 duel,thus his ego shows up unable to accept this defeat,hence youre a noob because they just cannot for the life of them simply say..GG,well played.
I think,for banners atleast a lock/unlock option in the skill menu would be nice to have.Let me choose if i want people to grab my banner or if i want to be the only one able to grab em.Even in pvp it happens that people randomly pick up my banner and ran away with it.Eventhough the banner plays a big part of the build and when youre traiting a banner setup,regen etc,it gets pretty kitten annoying that they still insist on doing it.
No you can’t as it would give people and advantage in PvP being able to do this
As is picking the smallest asuran just because people will be unable to see telegraphics attacks that would give those an unfair advantage compared to a maxed out norn for e.g…
In all honesty,eventhough i was…I think adding a spell effects slider to reduce the intensities or to make the effects somewhat transparant would still be a great add to the options menu.
Think they need a bit more info,like does it happen continuously or only when 2 blobs clash or does it happen at the usual sm fights ? Or in BL’s aswell,or does it happen randomly without 2 zergs clashing etc.And what are the queues atm for the bl’s and eb.
ANet aren’t going to nerf their pet class. However, if another build of another profession becomes viable for even a second, or threatens the Warrior’s position in the meta, it will be surely nerfed into the ground, and then some, just for good measure.
Stop talking crap like most ppl on here.Pet class ? Take a look at some of the nerfs a warr has received in the past,i wouldnt call a 20% dmg nerf on a weapon a way to show its their “pet class”,you guys are ffing delusional.
Try longbow + axe/shield with soldier gear, it is the easiest and most effective duel spec I have ever run on any class. If people try to melee you just lay combustive shot and arcing arrow on yourself, and if they try to range, pin them down and switch to axe and eviscerate them. You’ll also get fire auras, burning projectiles and might up the wazoo using your many finishers in your fire field. Blind can be a bit annoying but combustive shot gets rid of it most of the time.
LB/s-s is the strongest combo ingame for a warr atm.You can pressure them from far,but if they close in you can switch and put torment on and just keep autoattacking to stack bleeds and cripple him ( also you have riposte to block from far and gain adren,or go upclose and apply 4x bleeds for 12 sec instead ) ,in a matter of time they will back off again,so you can start kiting again while they prob still have torment on them.Depending on your amulet and your trait setup,this weap combo atm is a beast when used right.
Eh, I’ve tried sword/sword + longbow condition and I much prefer axe/shield + longbow power. It’s just too easy to cleanse conditions in this game, so you can be hardcountered since war can’t apply a ton of conditions like necro and engi. The stun on shield is amazing for interrupting heals and setting up eviscerate, and I prefer shield block 10x over sword block… blocking melee attacks is extremely useful, and I could care less about a couple bleed stacks. Dueling a condition spec war with axe/shield + longbow is a walk in the park since every time you use combustive shot or eviscerate you are clearing all their conditions (with cleansing ire). That’s not to speak of berserker’s stance and runes of lyssa.
And axe/shield combos so well with longbow… eviscerate, cyclone axe, throw axe, and shield bash are ALL combo finishers. Not to mention axe is one of the best weapons for filling adrenaline, so you will always have combustive shot up on switch.
Anyways I think it’s a bit of a misconception thinking of longbow as a condition weapon. Arcing arrow does MAJOR direct damage and burning doesn’t benefit that much from condition damage anyways. The six bleed stacks on pin down will never last full duration and can’t be reapplied quickly after being cleansed.
Only thing missing from axe/shield is ooc mobility imo. Still good for chasing with the cripple+stun though.
Finally impale’s torment stacks are getting majorly nerfed in the next patch, so all the more reason to switch to shield master race.
I’d really have to disagree How is putting torment and condis on someone youre otherwise pretty much unable to hit a bad thing compared to using an axe wich will be rendered completely useless in certain battles ? Play against a Proper condi warr with your current build,and you will see the difference, you will not stand a chance.A Proper player will evade all your evis,yet evading torment and continuously trying to cleans all condis,is a near impossible task.I play warr since day one of gw2,i know every build in and out.Condis are the way to go atm.Also,its about knowing When to apply What…and not randomly putting on condis that are being cleansed 2 sec later.
FYI the 337..5 ‘miracle’ driver has been defunct. The massive gains advertised were made by making games that didn’t work with SLI, work with SLI, thus the huge gains. The actual gains for this driver over the previous will be around 0-10% depending on the game on single GPU systems.
Crafty PR/marketing by Nvidia.
So.,whats your point ? An increase in performance is still there.As they have mentioned "" SLI Users will benefit from this driver"…….
Awwwww was someone able to reset the fight against the poor poor thief. The first response had it right, you were acting like a 12 year old and karma came back and bit you.
How was that karma? It’s a well known fact that warrior, while being great at being both tanky and offensive is also the kitteniest profession in the game with it’s 5-6 abilities allowing you to cross entire maps within like 2 minutes. And it’s OP healing signet that can passively outheal some professions damage. Everyone knows this, even warriors understand how much of a kitten they are from running from even fights. They taunt others and say “Awe he just QQ because he can’t catch me” And after laughing like he did in the vid for him running away they usually laugh back after getting backup from other players OR catching a lucky break like the warrior did. Also the fight was never officially reset, the warriors signet is just still OP. I despise thieves more than warriors, but in this fight, the warrior was definitely the bigger kitten, and child.
5 – 6 abilities to leap around… ? Even if they go Sword/Gs..They have one leap,whirl on 3 and rush on 5,that makes 3 mobile skills and not 6.Healsig is 400hp/sec,if youre unable to outdmg that with your ability’s,then youre doing something really wrong.
The rest i wont even bother responding on,more bull.
Yeah it happens way to often but not on bow alone,it can happen on every projectile skill a warr has. Offhand Sword Impale gets randomly obstructed when there is nothing that is in the way of the skill.Also Mace offhand Tremor gets obstructed in the same way.Fights really take a turn in the enemy’s favor when this keeps on happening.
Also..Learn how to duel properly in obsidium,the warr was in the tunnel going to obsid to find duels,yet he gets ganked in midway by a thief..and up till this point he does nothing in return but being defensive and just moving on..yet you keep bugging him…

Try wearing a shield with that hood……
I actually bought this skin for pvp,but the clipping whenever i use a shield is So horrible that i will not use it,money wasted ! How this hood even got passed the testing stage ( do you even … ? ) is beyond me,especially since its a GemStore item that lots of people use Real money to get stuff from..Things like these are just unacceptable.
Can post a shot later,doubt it’l change a thing.
Edit: Just logged in to make these 2 shots for you..
I have played GW2 for more than year now on the same config and get green screen flicker randomly not depended on locations or anything else.
My config is:
Core i5 2400 – 3,30 GHz | 8Gb RAM | GeForce 560GTX OC 1Gb VRAM
My video drivers are always up to date and I have tried numerous versions from oldest to newest and in-between, problem never get solved this way.
At time this blinking really gets annoying and I can’t be the only person with such issues since I don’t have similar problems in any other games. Overheating can’t be the cause of it because I have enough coolers and temps don’t go beyond 75-80 C degrees at maximum loading plus I keep my rig maintained at all times. Very odd problem tbh…
Youre talking about GPU temps here,but how is your CPU temp,or even Northbridge temp ( wich can get quite hot on some mobos ) when this happens ?
I actually think that finishing is too strong and needs to go away. The downed state in this game is supposed to compensate for how easy it is to die (survival is about half of that over similar PvP/RvR-oriented games). But finishers just render it useless, since if the enemy has stability or goes stealth its all rendered moot.
On top of this, resurrecting someone is a tad too difficult right now in many situations. Once someone is downed or defeated, most of the time they are gone forever unless they are in the middle of a group that can spam rezz them. Resurrecting players are incredibly vulnerable and that is why the dodge back when they start taking damage, because it is better for one player to survive than for both to die.
I fully support a crawling mechanic and I hope it completely messes finishers and makes it somewhat easier to resurrect allies!
I actually think the exact opposite and think the downed mechanic is to strong,with the downed system in mind youre less eager to take on a 3 or 4vs1 since you know you just wont be able to finish them all off even if you get 3 downed.I think the downed system has a proper place in pve,but in pvp/wvw it’s only a frustrating thing to be encountering at most times.Quick example,i was in an bl trying to get to my group,i came across 4 thieves..obviously i went the other way..they chased me instead and i got in combat mode so i had to fight.End result was,2 downed thieves 1 death thief and 1 going stealth mode and ressing his buddys while i was “Trying” to get the other one finished,mind you all my utils are on cd now and my hp is around 25%.The thief in stealth managed to get one guy up..they jump me and i go down.They all get ressed,and started to dance and laugh on my body,completely forgetting i was kicking their kitten instead,and without the downed system things would have gone completely different.The downed system in pvp/wvw is a pain to be dealing with everytime you encounter a 1vsx,no matter how you put it,too many people are able to “win” a fight due to the downed system wich is so wrong.
It depends on the rest of your system aswell though.Im running a FX 8120 OC@ 4.6 ghz with 2x gtx560 ti in sli.Pve im averaging 70 – 100+ fps all settings maxed out.In WvW im averaging at around 50 – 80,in normal fights around 40,in the BIG fights the lowest possible fps i get is around 20 fps,again with everything maxed out but only having the WvW settings on low.
If you go for AMD,you just need to oc the hell out of it to see its true perfomance.
It’s a LEGENDARY. It’s a VANITY item, you don’t need it. They aren’t supposed to be an easy task.
True,but for some people that arnt able to play hours in a row each day,its a near impossible task to be completing.I dont care much about legendary’s myself,neither will i ever go for one eventhough i possibly could..I just really think the money and time invested to make one isn’t worth the effort.
It seems to me to be a rather strange idea that after one dies, they can still see their surroundings, effectively acting as a scout for as long as they choose (as long as they interact with their equipped items). It does not matter in PvE, as the mobs aren’t competing against the users, but in WvW, it seems as if it is an oversight that allows for dead players to spy on enemy numbers as long as they don’t respawn.
Why not blacken the screen to give them no field of vision? They can still be resurrected by others, and they can still see their own location via the map, but they can’t see enemy numbers/objectives/etc (except for their downed on the map).
I doubt there’ll be a change to this, but I thought I’d put the idea out there for discussion/contemplation.
There is no need to mess with the screen at all.Aion had a great system for this tbh,they removed the ability to use the chat when you died..all you could do is lay there and watch.
Yes because using the in-game chat is both the only and most effective communication method in WvW…
So they should do everything with TS in the back of their minds ? And even with TS in their minds players jump in other servers TS to spy for their own server,wich also happens quite alot and a black screen still wouldnt do or fix a thing to prevent that either.Spying will keep on happening no matter if they blacken the screen,no matter if they disable the chat.I just think a disable chat option would be more attractive then being greeted by a black screen,or a screen so messed up that you cant see a thing.In that case,maybe a timer on how long you can lay death before being ported automatically to Spawn or the closest wp would be more helpful.
Should be beneficial for games that are heavy on the cpu and people with weaker cpu’s but also for people with sli systems since the drivers will apparantly reduce cpu stress.Im still doubtful if i will see any “huge” improvements though…

You need some practice is all.Make sure you understand every little aspect about the class youre playing,make sure you do A Hell of a lot of 1on1’s in an empty pvp server with some friends.Make sure to try every possible build out there so you have a feel on what every class is capable off,learning to see through telegraphic attacks trying to anticipate what theyre gonna use or do next,and when the best time is to evade certain skills and how to counter every 1on1 class best with certain trait set ups or perhaps a entirely different build all together.
It’s because of the absurd amount of blind spamming ( No Anet,Remove blind on weapon swap isnt going to change a kitten thing about this ),condi spamming,aoe spamming,evade spamming,the ways a player can block,or pop immunity’s,stealth or port away that makes going double melee for a warrior currently as ineffective as possible vs a good player from “most” other professions.All you can do to stop frustrating yourself with your double melee builds that just don’t seem to work anymore.Just jump the condi bunker wagon.Anet is forcing warrs to go this way,i doubt if they even realize it tbh.Also with the current amulet system in pvp,you will always do much better on a warr going condi bunker,since the condi amulets have toughness,and you wont have to sacrifice a thing.Our attacks on most weapons are Heavily telegraphed,a thing wich most professions dont have to worry about.There is just so much wrong currently with our double melee builds,its just frustrating really.I tried all builds available,mind you ive been playing since day one on a warrior,i know them inside out.But currently in this meta,pvp speaking,there is no to little room for a double melee warr.You will not stand a chance vs a proper nec,thief,engi,mesmer.
Logged in,queueing for AM bl at place 44..Waiting 30m,the travel screen pops up,i press Travel and im getting a message that says Borderland full,Queue up.So i have to requeue again…wasted 30m of my time already,and now i have to wait another 20-30m…On the other hand you got a 100+ queue to eb and when you do get in there,youre lagging so hard you will be demotivated to even continue playing ..Sometimes i wonder why i still bother at all with this game if i cant do the only thing i like to be doing.
Btw,telling me to do something else in the meantime doesnt cut it,i do wvw only and occasionally pvp,and since pvp atm is as stale and boring as possibly can be,i get bored of doing that faster then my queue pops.
Is because when loot bags drop I miss most of them. I am unable to keep track of them, and if I go looking for them I’m either slowing down my party, or getting left behind by a zerg.
set a key for aoe loot,and spamm that while fighting,you wont miss loot.
You know what would get you money anet ? Bring in a mini-pet that autoloots all with a larger radius then using the Aoe loot key.
With the upcoming ele buffs and nerfs of other classes diamond skin could actually play a big role in pvp vs condi classes like ranger or necro (especially necro)…
since a 100% condition immunity to a specific sort of damage is a very bad mechanic without counterplay for some classes it should not be in the game
having automated response changed that conditions can be applied but only last 50% as long is a very good idea and is really good for the game
Now let’s check some other traits or skills in the game which have that
Bersercer’s stance: imo it should be changed the same way decrease the cooldown but make it so conditions can be applied with only 50% the duration
Diamond Skin: same thing basically as ar: change it so that it lasts till 75% or 80% of the ele’s hp but only reduce the condi duration by 50%
With these changes and the rest of the upcoming changes i am quite optimistic when it comes to the next months of gw2
Berserker stance is on a 60 sec cd with a 8 sec uptime.Reducing it to only 50% condi duration would make this skill completely useless,espec if meeting a class that’s using +condi duration.Berserk stance is Needed for many warr builds in this over the top condi spamming game,start realizing this.
There were loads of threads about mounts,They all get deleted by Anet personally..For one simple reason,Mounts will not be coming to gw2,they have no place in this game,period.
Okay, I understand this has been brought up many times in the past, but how is it possible to accurately move and play in PvP. I find this extremely difficult. How do I hot key my skills and move with WASD oh and reach down for V if I need to dodge al lat the same time keeping my enemy targeted without a button to engage closest enemy.
Everything seems so clunky and sporadic in matches. I literally cannot keep up with what is going on. I miss half of my skills just because I can’t keep moving with my target.
If I were to be honest I think I cannot PvP in 1st person games unless its a FPS or on console.
I PvP in games such as GW1 and moba’s like LoL. I understand those mechanics very well, and I can see how I can improve. But, in GW2 style PvP I feel I cannot approve unless I get movement down. Any suggestions?
Getting a mouse like a razer or w/e you want..With 12-side buttons will the best investment you made for your pc this year.
I made a thread some time ago where i said solo q was in the worst state ever.
Well i was wrong.
NOW it’s in the worst state ever, to the point that i don’t even understand why so many horrible players even queue.
Moreover everytime i play, ranked people are like 2/10 ( wut), sometimes totally none.
Has EU really reached NA level ?
I’m getting so discouraged that i may even try to play with a team. OMG.
So they are low ranked ? Do you feel so much better than them that you have to make a post like this to show how mad you are at these people for joining “your” game ? If so,Make a Teamq party and stop complaining about people you have no right to complain about,It’s SOLO Q,Everyone and their mother can join if they want,rank 1 or rank 60..Who cares,let people have fun and stop being such a . . . . I rather play with a bunch of low ranked people than someone with your attitude.
Macros Aren’t allowed.Tbh in a game where you need to press so few buttons,have so few skills available…The need to use macros… ? Ehhh,Laziness comes to mind. This isn’t aion or wow where you have like 30 skills on your bar.Your a cheapass if you use macros here.
Yeah the bl’s at those times are usually full aswell,but the thing is the lag wich happens on eb is not happening on the bl’s since its just playable eventhough if 2 zergs of the same size as on eb clash.
I have no idea how it is for other servers atm,but on Far shiverpeaks EB has been lagging non stop for 2 weeks now,Tbh i dont even bother going anymore.You sit 1h in a queue,port to EB finally…then even at the spawnpoint you already start rubberbanding and lagging,Huge delays on skills,i dont even get why people bother going EB at all currently,i see everyone complain about it yet they keep hopping that karmawagon to get that bag of loot while pressing 1111111111111 hoping something pops.
Its completely and totally unplayable in every sense.Now when i do join EB its usually in the evening times so i have no clue how it is during the day..But from 18:00 till 1:00+ Eb is a unplayable lagfest.Its so bad that i stop playing..and rather go do something else instead…Honestly,i urge you…look into this lag problem and fix it….Im so tired of not being able to play because of it,or being forced to go to a bl or something else im really not in the mood for.
Its gamebreaking and demotivating while im logging in and am greeted with this lagfest constantly..
Cannot compare single core performance in cinebench ….
If you look at LoL – DX9 – use only 1 core and there is no big difference between AMD and Intel – as we all know AMD needs to be 1Ghz higher – so 3.8Ghz = 4.7-4.8Ghz
Right now i am doing build for my friend – cheapest version for GW2 and new games…
So he can take athlon x4 7*** or maybe i3 4130 and cheap MB + 4Gb Ram… he has already GPU 4650 but soon he will replace it with R7 250X or 7750 or R7 260….
So if anyone know users with athlon x4 pls i want to know performance
I have an Althon II 635 x4, 4GB of ram, teamed with a HD7750. 1600×900 GW2 on medium settings maxes at 45FPS out in the open PvE area. Cities and WvW where there are 30~ Players on the screen, 24FPS tops. Zergs 7-10FPS max.
its NOT worth it to go AMD. Period.
All fine for you,on the other hand im playing the game with an amd FX8120 at 4.8 Maxed out at 100+ fps in the open,cities and wvw 60+ fps and the 60vs60 zerg fights i drop to 20 – 30.It is Worth it going amd,Period.
I see the hacking posts all the time so decided to dig into stuff a little bit. Most of what everyone is calling hacking is actually broken parts of GW2 and Later today. I’ll add a thread with a video that shows you what people are doing and how to do it. None of them are actual hacks that I could find. I’ll try posting it around 1700 est time.
I’d also like to say those that use these bugs/cheats give there servers a bad name and reputation.
Flyhacks Exist,same goes for Noclip and Speedhacks,thats not even debatable its a fact wich i cannot proof with a link obviously.
. The first response had it right, you were acting like a 12 year old and karma came back and bit you.
