Guild Wars 2

just separate the groups.

5 vs 5 only
4 + 1 vs 4 + 1 only
3 + 2 vs 3 + 2 only
2 + 2 + 1 vs 2 + 2 + 1 only
1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 vs 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 only

now we got 5 different groups. dun mix them together now.
the problem is to find enough players for all groups.

the situation we have now is that, often
its like this:
5 vs 4 + 1
5 vs 3 + 2
5 vs 2 + 2 + 1
5 vs 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1

so the teams on the right side usually get treated real nicely.

but sometimes
4 + 1 vs 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1
does not mean the right side team will lose also.

Brewergamer.8357:

I was not defending solo pvp, I was creating an example. Perhaps I should have used 10v20. The point still stands, the group with the most players always wins regardless of skill, therefore rewarding the bad players.

well there is always strength in numbers so, i would call it, rewarding the larger group.

i.e.
“3 stooges can beat 1 Einstein”

a mask filter that can convert the oxygen in the water to be breathable.

awesome!

give us tomes of experiences for spvp dailies & monthly.

each tome +30% exp bar

remember, gw2 is a team game.
bring a friend!

yes, i want to visit cantha.

the echolad forest, the jade sea.

you got it wrong.

its the other dungeon paths that are not rewarding.

they could sell a soul bound remover crystal in the gem store.

guild wars 2 is a team game.

be a team player?

Lord Krilik.3692:

What ever happened to bar brawls? Did they add them in the end?

we have the achievements but not the game.

i think it is currently “KIV” by them.

echo.2053:

Here HERE !!!!!! i grow tired of this asuran 1 piece

what if … asuran could wear 2 piece?

skins are optional.

no one is forcing you.

Onshidesigns.1069:

Why would Anet add all these swimsuits to npc’s st this point? Anet MUST be going to put them in the gem store during the coming festival.

wow i thought faren and his lady friend are the only ones wearing new swim wear! so there are others too! thanks for sharing!

but … i dun want them to be just another set of “town clothes”.

i want them to replace the default under wear.

i’m sure nc soft would not pass up a chance to earn some monies by selling new sets of under wear.

Amadan.9451:

you assume she would live through the 250 years and see the world changing, and in 250 years i bet anyone can change his mind about things.

if she could be somehow revived now from the past, maybe she would be just shocked, before even notice the charr, about anything (especially mesmers themselves^^).

she could just chase flame legion as we all do and bless logan with his bromance for rytlock… i mean if she is still on her right mind, she could agree that dragons are a far worst enemy than some furry furballs with horns

the asurans could always make a time machine, some accident happens and the gwen from the past comes through. creating a time paradox.

gw2 is not balanced for 1 vs 1.

Calae.1738:

Careful now… this game is targeting children.

children wear under garments also yes?

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Rune_of_Sanctuary

Bug:
The bonus Frozen duration is likely not intended. It should most likely be +15% boon duration like Rune of the Monk and Rune of the Water, as it carries the same lesser rune version consistencies as them and caters to a defensive rune set which generally has defensive boons and boon duration.

thanks!

Silver.3284:

I would redesign it to have healing power count x2, possibly x3. That would affect all heals and regen and would make it worth it taking healing power as a stat.
Yes, it would create viable “healer builds” but since every class seems to have one such build that in itself would not bring trinity back.
Other than that, I think the base self heal is fine as it is. The heal you give others is too low and does not scale well. No healing power 900 heal – 1K healing power 1600 heal (or thereabouts). With HP pools around 20K this is too low and makes healing power a useless stat. Same with regen – what will 250/sec regen do on a 20K HP pool?

well if the health per second is too much then it would be too powerful.

the point of regeneration is not to make you godlike in combat, but perhaps to run away from danger, avoid taking damage and heal up maybe?

leave self healing alone.

u could make it such that regeneration get extra bonus based on the regen boon receiver’s healing power.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Regeneration
130 + (0.125 * Healing Power) per second

example:
necro throws down a mark
necro has 0 healing power

so that is 130 health / second over 5 seconds
total 650 health restored after 5 seconds

but warrior has 1000 healing power
say regeneration gives extra health per second based on the receiver’s healing power as well.

that means extra 125 health per second.

warrior gets 130 + 125 = 255 health per second.
that is 1275 health restored over 5 seconds.

if the necro has 1000 healing power then the warrior gets another 125 health per second.

i.e. 380 health per second
1900 health restored over 5 seconds.

a slight buff. not imbalanced.

gw2 – 19 emotes – http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Emote

gw1 – 53 emotes – http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Emote

WWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ???

djlowballer.7460:

A petition seems redundant since this thread keeps surviving. Just make Cantha and block off all PRC from enjoying it.

not happening since nc soft wants to farm their moolah off them

we can blame nc soft ‘s greediness and china’s stupid-ness.

what i gathered is, nc soft wanted to market guild wars 2 in china, but then china disliked the asian themes in guild wars factions so …

yeah, the problem is the mainlanders.

If they where a specific profession? Just for anything?

(Looking to see if the CoF1 mentality is present everywhere or not.)

for canach lair subdirector NULL explorable dailies i ask my party members not to bring rangers.

dun wan their pets to disturb the mines.

Which is yet another reason Rangers need permanent Stow or a way to remove these things..

but them pets are part of the rangers’ dps / tanking system.

perhaps an “MERGE WITH ME!” or “2 BECOME 1!” option for the rangers to receive a power up for having their pets merge with them.

Rhaps.8540:

LOUD NOISES!!!!!

..but seriously, this seems like a massive oversight.

aye. i made some noises on the official forum regarding the absence of pvp apprentice armor and they finally fixed it in the previous patch.

some topics made:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/pvp-apprentice-set/
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/pvp-apprentice-pants/

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/How-do-I-get-PvP-Apprentice-Gear/
people has been actually asking about it since 4 months ago …

Stealth.9324:

How about Pull the Player down and keep him underwater for Drowning Purposes.. Giggle

this one is more appropriate.

i think they left out this one.
should be the same as other dungeons.

scream loudly about this until they fix it.

Assyrian.4827:

My guess is at least 6 months after GW2 launch in China.

ah so its true.
we are playing guild wars 2 paid open beta with no character wipes.

and canthan was removed so nc soft could market the game there.
so sad.

1) sure why not.
2) no.
3) crafting is already very easy.

Sirendor.1394:

- the colosseum already exists in Black Citadel! Anet can easily use the existing model and make it a PvP duel arena.

what if, people want a place outside of WvW where people can fight in their PvE armor?

more variety of PvP is always good!

JustTrogdor.7892:

I gave you an example above.

ah i see. thanks.
well lets continue to see what the others think.

Gizmo.9178:

No. What is the point when you are wearing gear all the time?

but i fight naked in sPvP 8 vs 8.
i want to have a variety of under garments to choose from.

JustTrogdor.7892:

No. . . . . . . . . .

oh why no?

do u want new under garments …

to be unlocked like dyes?

imagine …
“unidentified underwear”

we change them just like how we change our dye colors etc.
the colors can be changed too, besides the shape and design.

so do you want them?

The game isn’t designed around 1v1, but it still happens and can be a pretty solid indicator that something is terribly wrong with a class when 3 of the 4 posts you put here had to do with thieves being imbalanced in 1v1 :-P

but … what if …
thieves are supposed to be “imbalanced” in 1 vs 1 ? O_O

I… guess I hadn’t thought of that lol.

aye, and … what if … warriors are supposed to act as some kind of “finisher” for their team mates?

there was one time, when i was doing tourny with 4 other fellow guild members.
one of them commented that the opposing team’s warrior “delivers”.

my fellow guild member, he was playing a mesmer that time.
i asked what he meant, he said that warrior’s team mates exhausted all his (mesmer, my team and guild member) stun breakers, escapes etc.
then the warrior proceed to finish slice and dice him into pieces.
hence “he delivers”.

i read often that people often complained that warriors have nothing to close the gaps etc …

but … what if … they are not meant to close the gaps by themselves …
but …. let their other profession team members do it.
they just need to close in for the kill.

guild wars 2 is a team game. !!!!
stop complaining about 1 vs 1 imbalance issues already perhaps? XD

stayBlind.7849:

ArenaNet posted on facebook a 1v1 tournament lol

well its not an official tournament though.

i got a friend and guild member who goes by the name

Mufaka <something>

he was forced to change it after some idiot reported him.

Mufaka is a combination of his real life name

his real life name is
Mu<something>
Fa<something>
Ka<something>

i.e. he is a Malay.

i think he typed wrongly.

he probably meant accessories.

Mirta.5029:

practice, perfect your build and point out on the forums if you think that the class needs better balancing.
A lot of classes have weak points – for example mesmer doesn’t have a lot of condition removal even though he can send it back to you on some builds. Mesmer doesn’t have any movement speed.
Most thieves build squishy. Build to survive their initial attack and counter it immediately afterwards.

but, i read that anet will not balance things based on 1 vs 1 then …

bewhatever.2390:

Professions and abilities are diverse in this game, as needed both for a meaningful PvE experience and to make field/finisher nontrivial. Synergies between diverse Professions are essential to “real” PvE games.

Balancing for 1v1 (typically PvP) doesn’t work when classes are diverse, as there will always be cases where class “A” can always beat “B” in a duel. In triad games if A is dps and B is a healer this usually works. But it’s the same if “A” happens to do its damage with conditions and “B” happens to lack enough cure conditions.

When earlier games have tried hard to balance for 1v1, what happens is the classes become homogenized. That ruins the grouped PvE game.

I support ArenaNet’s previously announced decision not to balance for 1v1, and hope it stays that way.

true, but it feels like a lot of “complaints” are coming from people who, did not get what they want in their little 1 vs 1 skirmish?

i.e.
“thief / mesmer always kills me in 1 vs 1”
“i cannot kill thief / mesmer in 1 vs 1, they always ran away”
etc

Mirta.5029:

I simply don’t think that GW2 was not meant for 1v1.

but there are certain professions that could be very hard to put down in a 1 vs 1, such as the thief or mesmer.

what do you have to say regarding that? O_O

yeah the time it takes to kill a champion is longer than those big event bosses but the drops is bad.

Mirta.5029:

The only way to test how skillful you are is to have a 1v1 with a different player.

but i also keep hearing (reading) people say (post) that gw2 is not balanced for 1 vs 1 …

so … is that not a bit contradicting?

dear fellow official gw2 forums people,

we all know that guild wars 2 is not balanced for 1 vs 1 yes?
then why people are still “discussing” about 1 vs 1?

some examples:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/thief/How-to-counter-get-out-of-jail-free-button/2125456
(engineer got thief down to 5% health but thief ran away)

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/warrior/How-are-Warriors-in-1v1
(asking about how warrior does in 1 vs 1)

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/elementalist/3-minute-fight-with-thief-in-WvW-any-tips/2121509
(ele fought thief for 3 min)

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/necromancer/Beat-A-Thief/2104628
(necro asking for tips on how to beat thief in 1 vs 1 in WvW)

there could be more but these will do for now …

wouldn’t a simple “guild wars 2 is not balanced for 1 vs 1” put an end to all those discussions?

so what do you think?

guild wars 2 is not balanced for 1 vs 1 !

though great sword warriors will deal incredible damage if a team mate manages to trip the victim of all stun breakers and lock them down in place.

guild wars 2 is not balanced for 1 vs 1.

u want him dead? have a second player to jump him.

Gaidax.7835:

Is it only attainable from deer boxes or you can actually craft it?

unfortunately, deer boxes only.
for me, the chest and pants dropped from gold deer boxes.

i tried crafting. did not work.

try guesting around to check the PvE population.

for non T1 NA servers, try guesting in Sea of Sorrows.
the PvE crowd there is still doing okay.

this could be a best seller at the gem store!

level 80 upgrade!
