Of course. Players do everything in their power to make the game miserable, but let’s not blame them.
Actually, let’s.
If you find a player exploiting a bug, report both the player and the bug. Do not encourage other players to exploit the bug.
And don’t even think about replying “but everyone does it” or “ArenaNet doesn’t fix anything”. If you cheat to get on a cheater’s level, you deserve the same punishment.
i remember something similar was proposed in league even but they said they won’t do prisoner island so to say; anet won’t probably do it for same reason
I actually don’t agree with the statement thief is not 1vs1 class. I know the role of a thief in pvp. Ofc his main advantage is using mobility to run around the map and help out. But I personally have no problem fighting 1vs1 at all(except neuro or three engine cause it’s suicide). Thief, if aged smart can beat easily any class. Ranger is easily countered with infiltration signet and interupts , warrior with blinds and evades( especially hambow). And elementals and mesmers are just mind play games. Thief main role is out numbering fights and fast decap. But in ranked pvp I found it pretty great to kill and cap that solo guarded point and then rush to next fight. The key is you need to be at all places of map at once.
you fought bad players then
good player might not win every 1v1 match vs thief but they know how to hold point long enough for teammates to arrive
thief job is not to duel in ranked
Turret engie is no where near op. If you use ranged attacks and aoe they will die easily. Stay off the point and use los to your advantage. If you can’t do any of that…rotate to a different point and let them sit while you +1 a fight.
too bad engis and their turrets have more range than some classes cough
something like 10 i believe… never play on/after patch day…. dcs, bugs, crashes etc. :/
long time ago i did break space key on my keyboard so since then i am using sturdy mechanical one and if i notice i am getting frustrated i just log off and do something more fun
i was just stating the fact that rank 1 is an engi
i know leaderboards atm are a joke but it is undeniable weither it is turret engi or cele engi, they are too good… been like that since i joined this game and i honestly don’t understand why devs got such a thing for the class
also other side note, EU has a lot of players still running turrets… so it is not really surprised people complaing about them
Funnier “bugs” are when you spawn in the wrong teams safe area and take down their lord or immediately get gang-banged or similar.
Or, that an elementalist can cast his spell inside your safe area during match up and it lasts into the beginning of the game, slowing everyone down, that doesn’t have a speed buff.
Or you getting random hits out of nowhere (no, it wasn’t a thief) during a match.
random hits out of nowehere are from dat amazing warrior trait that dmgs foes during dodge…
Correct me if im wrong. But isnt supply crate considered an almost I win button by most engis in 1v1s? To the point that its considered cheap to use it on dueling servers?
No, staff ele can take all turrets down in a matter of seconds without any problem, rendering the elite next to useless
guard can sit afk and render basi venom absolutely useless~
should we give basi venom wheels too lol
1. When character dies and spawns in match it is still in combat, pretty annoying as character is obviously slowed due to combat, that wasn’t the case before… why is it now?
2. Finishers keep reseting to basic finisher so you have to set finisher every match… :s
I know those 2 are minor but are pretty annoying and happen every match.
Can you give me the link to it pls? What about Valkyrie? Ist there less damage than with Zerker? I actually play with 5 6 3 0 0 in PvE to practice some mechanics and it’s easy to survive by evading. Only conditions are bad…
Thief
1. Add LoS to steal teleport.
2. 1s CD to evade skills after evade skill is used (if not all skills).
3. Dazes/Stuns hit through evades
4. Nerf consume plasma
~Signed Mesmer.
1. mes shouldn’t be able to port behind walls and on edges
2. mes clones shouldn’t follow thief after thief went in stealth nor run for shatter
3. mes and his clones shouldn’t be able keep attacking thief while thief is in stealth
4. mes shouldn’t be able to stack dazes
5. there should be DR on how many clones mes can spawn after dodges
6. nerf vigor access for mesmers
7. reduce duration of immob caused by mesmer spells
8. clones shouldn’t be able to apply torment on AA
9. mes shouldn’t be able to use portal if there is no LOS
~signed
Thief
i can play this game too =.=
on more serious note, support changes proposed by OP… they definitely don’t cover everything but would be a start
thieves are fine, hybrids and tanky builds from other classes need to be toned down
issues is: thieves have to go full glass to do as much dmg as currently hybrid with a lot of survival can do… that is just wrong on many levels.. let’s not even start on AI builds
there are in general 2 fundamental things that are very wrong in this game:
- some classes are allowed to be very tanky and yet dish out high dmg making going full glass pointless
- aoe is cheap (CD/recources) and often does more dmg than single target spells rendering those pointless, especially in conquest
if those 2 things were fixed we would see better trade off between builds/classes imo
but looking at class/build design and patches for the past 2 years almost it doesn’t seem like anet devs have any interest in common sense or balance
just pray that next “balance” patch won’t be again obligatory “let’s throw random nerfs at thieves”
I think there is a lot of good with the new system. Hardly ever see people leave. Queues are short. Match selection is a great feature. It’s the lack of a true solo q option that I don’t like.
people don’t leave because
1. skyhammer is gone
2. there is ready button in this game finally
it has absolutely nothing to do with how crappy current mmr/leaderboards system is
As pointed out above, general activity is much higher than before, why on earth would they revert? Sure there are improvements to be made, but this new system has only been in place for a few weeks, hardly shocking that it’s not perfect yet.
Bots farming ranked 24/7 is called activity, okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.
due to class winner daily i ended up playing celestial d/d ele. I mashed my face as hard as i could against keyboard and somehow things were dying around me while i could tank 3 enemies. I logged back on my d/p thief and wondered why am i even trying?
It’s true tho. Turrets have insane amount of defense, it should be reduced at least by 60%! There is no reason for them to be so tanky
What build are you running? I can literally use one utility skill and destroy all turrets in under 4 seconds. I consider 1 utility skill to neutralizing all of the utility skills of my opponent to be an extremely good trade.
Please tell me that your trying to make a joke by using the term “tanky” and “turrets” in the same sentence.
I admit it…I love shortbow. If I could, it would be the only weapon I would use. I want to be able to just spam the AA and skill 2 over and over in dungeons and be useful! Who needs stealth on hits when I can hit things with a unicorn?
tbh with amount of aoe flying around in pvp sb is like only option lol
