Reuniting Logan and Rytlock xD plus seeing Zojja in that state, I do not particularly like her.
Worst part was what they did with Faolin, it was too short lived and had so much potential….plus I am a fan of Caithe x Faolin ????
Same thing happened to me with VB meta, I was on a good map and boom crashed and got put onto a fail one. And you will find you may not be abe to get back onto it because someone else took your spot.
I think it should only be obtainable from the raids. If pvpers want it then they need to earn it from the raid like the rest of us xD
I didn’t even know about them until now xD and as it is only a rare weapon and not exotic not many people will spend the time to do this.
Plus if as you said the skins can be gained another way then it is even less likely someone will try to get them.
I am hoping for a good looking longbow, I do not like the look of kudzu. But as they said shortbow and mace are furthest along then I assume they will be next xD
It would get people to do content they usually wouldn’t and I think it would be good to re introduce.
They had us get items from certain enemies in central tyria for the new weapons like dark harvest and that is sort of the same thing, having you do something you wouldn’t do usually or anymore.
Right now I just either grind Eotm or use leveling tomes to get new skills so central tyria content has less people in general doing it.
Wow 15 character, I am impressed, except anyone can make 15 chars. You have only posted on the forums today and only this one, so apart from ranked wat do you know about other people opinions apart from what you have seen in this one xD
Maybe if you actually contribute to other posts I’d take your opinion a little more less than a joke xD
You started the season late and sailed trough alot of bad players to Ruby? Which is also filled with people who got carried or had easy wins and now think they are good xD.
And what proof do you have of being in a high division? You can find any number of screenshots online so that wouldn’t even count so live stream or lies ;3 anyway have fun getting a loss streak to tier 1 xD
Your story sounded like a lie either way the moment you said you where a non exp war xD plus a week and up 4 divs smells like a desperate grab for attention from a scrub. Later xD
Team mates do not group to go to lord often so they usually get killed by the average of say 2 even 3 players on def plus the lord and adds
Dh and reaper can combo well, solo they are squishy but what would I know, I have to find people in groups of 3 or 2 solo not the other way around.
End of the day a majority of the people doing ranked are unsatisfied, how will Tha work long term when people won’t bother with s3? Or quit entirely because all aspects of post HoT is mediocre.
The legendarys rollin new accounts was just what I heard from one of the legendary forums pages, not sure how accurate it actually is.
Well then most of the good players had already left and since your mmr was lets say 0 you have a pretty good chance of being placed against a lower mmr team. And Ruby is known as mmr hell as it is still full of people who got carried xD
And I do not think legendary players can play in to low a div unless they roll a new account which some do anyway because legendary has such huge wait times xD
Ogre when did you start playing ranked matches this season?
I’d also like to point out that not many people I have heard even tune in to watch the twitch finals. If it is true then it is more proof that not many care for the league.
Also as ranked now will pit you against a team if your div is limited on number it may be best to just team with someone, pick a good class that mixes well with theirs and just go on, seen a few games where a team has like 2 or even 2 groups of 2 against a full pug.
When the season started I played against a guild team as a pug party. And it has even been mentioned that you have a higher chance of being placed against a team with higher mmr sp they can boost through.
Look at legendary right now, many have to wait hours and their matches are still steamrolls xD they still have players that quit when they have less points 1 minute into a match.
And also classes play a huge role in this. If you are a none spec team against a spec team you will lose.
And say you get a team of 2 non druids, reg war a thief and your class against a scrapper, tempest, dh, reaper and Glint Rev. Who o you think will win? This happens alot frequently, do not forget alot of new players who jump straight into league with know knowledge of maps or their class.
So the people who didn’t like s1 (actual legendary players, not players not those who got carried through) asked for this type of s2 and not even they like it.
And it amuses me that people try to show off that they get high upish when it is known that good players with good mmr are placed against unlucky or bad players with low mmr so they pf course are going to win then get stuck in mmr hell or just ride the easy wins to legendary once then quit ranked.
The season is a flop with more people disappointed in it. And think hat would happen if all the average players left ranked, ranked would be dead with only 2 div worth of players doing it. People may call anyone lower than diamond bad at to quit but they need us more than we need them otherwise they would be waiting even longer than those in legendary to get games xD
I did Arah with my Revanent, used my sword 3 skill close to a wall before the Grenth section and ported into a wall at the end and was still attackable but it would all be obstructed so I was stuck in combat xD
They seem to just brush this off by saying that making these takes alot of time and work but they seem to have the time to make MANY cash shop skins.
But as for the topic, they should have some light coats not just robes and some heavy armour that covers the butt.
As it was said that Guardian is a sort of successor to Dervish I think they should give them Dervish as an Elite spec.
The final set of wings and achievement are a joke since tons of bad pvpers got them during s1. When I see it I do not think they are skilled I think they are flaunting that they got carried xD as many are still in div 1 and 2 with the wings.
And look at the season now, legendary players wait 1 hour for a match where they still get steamrolled so they want more people in legendary but even say that they roll an alt account to go through to legendary again filling the top with Alts and pushing potential legendary players down.
And at the bottom people are getting stuck and quiting because the game decodes at the beginning that one team has a big advantage over the other so less player pool.
Then people in middle can mot advance due to people being carried into the middle divs so they give up or keep losing and causing them yo get worse teams each time.
In s1 the problem was that 1/3 of the pvp community had an issue with the system, now in s2 all 3 from low mid and high divs have complains.
They should not be using a new system during a tournament. If they want to be in with the gaming tournaments they need fair ranked not favoring the people who won their first match or not.
Because most people just roll a meta or a class which is said to be op and do not experiment with it to find what works best for them xD
For me I am stuck in T3 Emerald, I am not exactly a pro in pvp but no way near the bottom line. I would say Sapphire or t1 Ruby maybe.
Most of my matches I have a team that is mute, in alot of cases they can not manage a 1v1 fight or at times even a 2v1 fight in their favor. My first match was against a guild team and it has gone down hill since that.
Problem is most of the time you play against a better team whilst your team is not bear their level. It us hard to improve when it is not just you who is outmatched but moat of your team as well.
It should match you up against people of your mmr not people higher so they can gt pushed into say ruby and be stuck in it for the rest of the season.
None spec team vs adv spec team will always end with adv winning. But instead of having a separate pvp and pve builds they lump them together and just nerf skills instead of fixing issues so they make pve worse because people abuse a skill in pvp.
Like when they removed some visual effects but claimed it wasn’t because it affected pvp performance xD
It is annoying when you break into a lords keep and they have one full gate to go before your lord but then they have 2 healers keeping their lord alive for so long your lord dies because you have no healer.
And how many people have either condi or crit build, a necro can go full dps build and still be an op tank
I believe I am capable of playing in at least high end sapphire, but because my first ranked game was against a guild team and I was in a pug I lost and over and over it keeps happening.
I am stuck in t3 emerald and for every 3 losses I get a single win on average. A majority of the time I play against a tea that at the very least knows what to do, my team in say stronghold does not have the sense to use a treb or destroy the enemies when they are using it. There is also the case of people running meta build classes and dying within a couple of seconds of a fight.
This is worst in conquest as my team keeps feeding the other team trying to take mid when their far is undefended.
When I win games it is by the skin of my teeth with me having to either fight multiple people for a point or defend against multiple for a point all whilst my team have trouble taking out say 2 of the other team when I is 3v2 or even 4v2 in some occasions with my team being the bigger number.
At the very least I can play at the level of low sapphire but due to poor matchmaking and a bad start it is always an uphill battle and I get not a single thing for having the effort and dedication to continue fighting even when my team is being steamrolled.
Just make the matchmaking balanced, as it is now you have very empty legendary rankings and after waiting the hour they get steamrolled, so they make an alt push down other potential legendary people and fill legendary with alts. And on the other side of the spectrum you have people who can’t even get out of div 1 to 3 because you set half your teams up to lose who then quit pvp and even the game itself meaning less people in ranked increasing wait times which again drives more people away.
In s1 you had 1 group of people with an issue (those who carried people to top div) but now you have everyone up in arms.
All I want are the 3rd wings but I keep gettin thrown in with the low mmr crowd which makes my mmr lower which causes me to get put with worse teams, I have given up as I am not getting anything for even trying especially when I have to work twice as hard as my opposing team to get the win.
I am not a bad player but the system only advances the team with high mmr and as I got unlucky my first few games I am doomed to being in the bottom divisions.
Except I didn’t just tell people to not try at all or get good. Even legendary people are having our problem of losing more than they win with the added issue of wait 30+ minutes for games so they make alt accounts abd push more people down so they have something to do which fills the higher tiers with many alts and then people wounder why they have to wait so long.
This season is a flop and Anet knows about some of the exploitable issues but have not dealt with them.
Unranked is far more evenly matched so if you just want to take part in pvp not especially ranked then go for unranked xD
Can’t wait until they do the overhaul for wvw and hope people return to it ????
Even the people in legendary are not enjoying the new ranked, they have 30 mins plus wait times just to get steam rolled them selves, they then roll an alt account and go through ranked again, pushing down potential legendary people and filling the top tiers with alts.
They have failed with this ranked and more and more people are just quitting.
I am stuck in div 2 due to my first matches being against guild teams when I soloQd so it has been an uphill struggle, an uphill struggle where I am not rewarded for trying hard which I have to do to barely scrape by with a win or trying hard and still getting steamrolled.
Thought someone from the low end of the spectrum should chop in.
I am average at pvp, I know my classes and tactics and would probably end up inend sapphire or beginning of ruby.
My first match in this league as a soloQ was against a guild team, and my team was a bunch of randoms so we got steamrolled, next match I am with a worse team against one way above our team and again a loss. This kept happening only with a win after 3 losses then again until I managed to get to div 2.
Div 2 is still the same and at some points worse, we lost a match and got 0 points at a point when 4 of my team could not defend against 3 of them whilst I solo fought 2 good players and after prolonging the fight died.
Now I am being teamed up with div 1 people and me plus another from div 2 (all pug) and because of long matchmaking we had to fight a team where 2 where in a pre made team. So I gave up, why should I work so hard just to gt put down when others are practically handed wins?
I am thinking of moving on from gw 2 as I am struggling to find the game fun anymore, I am put down in pvp as I have mentioned above, wvw is basically dead and the HoT storyline is not great and I have sunk alot of money into this with little return.
I have been a supports since the original and this is Anets lowest point, there are issues they know about but are leaving them, allowing people in the league to exploit and get a win when they should have lost (this is about changing class mid match and say full healing the lord in stronghold or switching to a team of op meta builds) and each day I see less reason to join especially with nerfs in all classes which affect pve too because someone I abusing a class.
Happened with me. I am not a pro in pvp but I am alright Sapphire at least or low tier Ruby. But my first match I was putted against a team whilst my team was 5 randomers so of course my team was destroyed.
This meant I was getting placed with the losers of matches against the winners. I am still in mid Emerald and now I am either stuck with half my team being in div 1 or my enemies being a team of varying size and maybe even 2 teams or even from a tier above so my w/l ratio is widening per game. I have quit doing it, I wanted the wing skins, 3 because I know the last will not be possible, but because Anet thinks pro pvpers and teams need a helping hand I will not be getting it soon or maybe ever.
If some of the people are so good then why do they need to be getting the best matches. If they are actually good then they should be able to work well with randomers. Instead they claim skill when most of their victories are because they went against a team that would never be able to beat them.
The only people who are happy with this are the ones riding the win train, teams and people who use match fixers and the lack of dishonour to switch class on the fly to win. I have heard alot of vet pvpers saying how steamrolling all their enemies is not enjoyable for them at all.
A league is a nice idea but the game has too few classes and classes that are op compared to others to have a truly fair league. People are leaving gw 2 because of this plus things that came with HoT.
Wvw is dead, this ranked is a joke and pve was short and is just multiple grinds.
If ls3 is a flop and the new expansion is bad then me and my girlfriend are going to stop playing and we have spent alot on gemstore, probably more than many free players will and some pvpers and as said we are not the only one. So I hope the new installments of content are spectacular then they will have to hope the new ideas are worth losing alot of players.
The wings should be a timed reward track, but the 4th tier should just be a skin not an actual backpack and that should be only available from ranked.
Alot of people want the wings and that is it, some got carried in s1 and think they must have been good and are trying again but getting stuck in Emerald. The wings where supposed to be a sign of your overall skill in pvp but because s1 got abuse most people who have it are actually terrible pvpers so now the wings just seem like a joke.
But if that was the case there would not be enough people doing ranked but it would mean only good pvpers and the occasional person testing to see if they can handle it would play it.
Also the community has become more toxic with people getting constant losses because of bad matchmaking system and people who get wins all the time because they won the first 1 – 2 games basically call them trash and tell them to quit.
My advice is get the wings and quit ranked or just do not bother at all unless you intend to hit the top tiers and have a team to do it with.
Right now Anet I trying to spread out and bring in a bigger audience on top of their current one. We had all heard on forums that a number left when HoT was released, some after they finished it. Are the potential new players worth the risk of losing your base players?
Some of the new stuff I have liked (Adventures, meta gliding) but they have put too much grind in with no sort of relaxed areas, they need a mix of HoT type areas and pre HoT to balance out running meta events and more layed back areas.
Hoping to see them make a good ls3 with all the feedback.
Also hoping te guardian gets the dervish spec somehow ????
It is awful, the only people who like it are the ones getting carried through due to mmr system. The winners so not care about a fair match they just want to win and then tell you to quit the game. I have seen some good pvpers on the forums saying how they hate getting wins from teams that can not stand a chance against them. But you know if they made it fair the people who get carried would flame.
And people fix games and switch classes mid game to win with no penalty so the league is a flop.
Alot just want the wings because they look good and have now skin like it anywhere else.
If that skin was available in a track list or pve then no one would do it but full time pvpers and the occasional others.
Anet is trying to drum up interest in pvp but only a small portion will stay with pvp.
Unranked is much better, teams are relatively balanced and you get good games, ranked now is just a joke and that along with their actually good pvp system which is wvw is dead.
I am thinking of quitting this game, the hot story was too short and some content they should have added for it was scrapped because “it would ruin the flow” wvw is practically dead and they want to turn pvp into a moba but without the effort put into making matches fair or geting rid of exploits in pvp that make games one sided.
Locking story elements behind a raid where they have even said it is for the more advanced players is a bad idea. Story elements should be for all and raids should just be for bragging rights, the best gear and just something more challenging, what happens when a new bit of story content comes up and it requires you to have played the raid.
Raids are good but should have their own story, separate from the main games that goes no further than the raid dungeons.
Otherwise people are going to have more issues with raids than they already will.
Best way to get weapon master kills is to do it with a weapon and class that only causes vulnerability or cripple, not anything that does dot damage like poison, torment, poison etc xD
I have experienced both and pvp always comes up with the worst community.
In dungeons people will usually give basic instructions like stack here or cc when it is needed. But in generally people are either making some jokes or just friendly. In pvp if you have a bad game people call you a noob, then rage at you instead of playing the map which causes you to widen the gap in points and then if you lose they blame it on you, report you or block you then leave in pve one bad try will not cause them to rage, maybe if it happens multiple times.
In pve they may suggest using a different utility or tell you to stack but the abuse you receive is no wy near as bad as pvp people.
And pvp community is getting even worse since leagues and how the top players or teams abuse class team ups and abuse any issue in the pvp to get the win, like switching classes mid game or beating a team with a far lower mmr and thinking it makes them better. XD
The new maps are quote fun to navigate but having to do metas for almost everything is just tiring, especially when you have to map hop to find a full map to do the metas on.
Adventures are really enjoyable though, I hope they do some more of them ????
Someone mentioned the dull-ness of heart quests with the original gw2, well now it is the metas that are dull now, you do the meta in vb then move to a new area to do the meta there then o td for even more meta then ds for, you guessed it, more meta.
Their problem is they are not bringing out mixed open world content. At least with heart quests there was more than just killing stuff you could do to finish a quest. In hot you have to first find a full map, if not, you are screwed, then you need to hope you do not dc during the meta and then that the people know what to do. Then rinse and repeat.
The adventures on the other hand are a work of genius, some are a little tough but I really enjoy them, they are different and fun and I hope they add more of the adventure stuff in
I pre-purchased gw 2 and hot but right now I am not so sure if I will, hot was quite a letdown and with their wvw practically dead and pvp being ruined with the “lets be like moba” feel along with the sub par storyline.
I would first need to hear more details of what is to be added, and a much bigger map is required as if it is more hot type content then I do not know if I could continue supporting Anet.
The quality has dropped quite a bit from gw 2 to hot
They could do it like other games, get to level 80 and unlock tengu as a playable race, and they could skip a tengu story for the zhaitan section but it would be better if they map a story for them and tell the playerbase they are and it will take some time to get it ready, we are happy with knowing we get some new race and storylines plus they can take all the time they need to implement a tengu story plus other tengu things.
It would stop some complaints at the very least ????
The hot content was not bad, I enjoyed it in Sw but putting it in every location in hot and making everything a longish time sink is just too much.
And someone mentioned they are adding some more harder content for people so they will not leave but this content plus hot has split their playerbase and some have already left and more are thinking of it because of pvp leagues using experimental systems, content that requires guilds or a known team plus asc gear.
The game is good and introduced some new ideas but hot was short so quite a few have done everything already and are now having to wait until April at th soonest for any new content because hot was so short.
Hopefully with the feedback from hot they will see that they need to have a longer story, more areas, not so much meta grinding, more armour and wep skins earned in game (in reddit they Said making new stuff took too much time due to the detail required but they are constantly putting new lion chest skins which I can not get due to stupidly low scrap ticket drops about 1 -2 from 15 chests)
Anet is able and has brought out good content before, but right now they are trying to cater to a wide variety of people and stretching themselves too thin.
Here is to hoping that ls3 is great and Tha guardian gets dervish as an elite spec! ????
If they had a pve event that rewarded people with the backpiece but with a different flame colour say then the people who only want th skin would no longer be in pvp and only those that actually want to do pvp would stick around.
Because alot of people have no idea how to be a team or even the aim of the pvp game modes.
And it may seperate the best from the rest but it puts off over half their potential playerbase from bothering to continue because they are being punished for being new or not in a team or just not the beat pvper.
Have it like s1 where matches where more even, if a player is a pro as they claim then they should be able to pull a win out of a fair-ish fight, right now alot of people are putting down people who have bad games when they only won due to playing people who are far worse than them or because they teamed and switched classes mid match to win.
A league is no place to test out a new system like they have been doing now.
It just alienates a big playerbase whilst promoting bug exploits like the switching your class once the match has begun not to mention using certain meta builds in teams to practically ensure wins.
In the current system if you have a bad start then you will have bad matches right up til the last few weeks when you are having to cram in tons of matches to get to whatever division you have the skill to be in all because you had a single bad match at the beginning.
This current system will and is damaging the pvp as a whole, good players will fight bad teams and go up constantly whilst those average, unlucky and below will stop doing pvp and will not come back again which increases wait time for matches and makes every league after longer because no easy win.
And they can not do wvw as well because right now it is pretty dead and te HoT content is sub par quality. They are having less and less reason to stay whilst A-net tries to profit from tournaments like lol and dota.
Unlike these companies there is very little balancing as you can switch your class at any point with no dishonour and can stack good builds like the necro one so you are fighting 3 necro almost every game.
They should be working on the problems they have instead of bringing out new things like pvp leagues when they can not fix rigged games like the many of the same classes and how a meta that is op is not sorted out until after, allowing people to steamroll through.
I am only going up 1 Division a season as a minimal for the achievements and to slowly work towards the backpiece, wy should I bust my hump needlessly when A-net is stacking the odds in favour of the team I am constantly against.
I can do pretty well in pvp game modes but due to some bad teams at the beginning I am now doomed to crappy teams and as a player of gw 1 and playing from the beta for this I am getting tired of having to defend A-nets string of poor choices from pvp to pve and wvw.
There are many mmo games about I enjoy and am considering to switch to because they seem to have taken a nose dive in quality and effort.
I gave up on doing the raids after like the first hour, as after 20 mins people where already selling runs and wouldn’t accept your money even before looking at your gear, and pugs where stupid or didn’t communicate at all.
Nothing wrong with the Cleric gear, just go with that xD
Anet probably doesn’t want to have to deal with that on top of all the issues they currently have with the game, like bugs which they have had so many of since HoT released.
Plus pounding out new content as well to match competitors.
How about we get a spiritual successor to Dervish? xD
I would love more weapon types but I am sure they’d rather put in more black lion chest skins you’ll hardly get any of unless you loaded and or lucky xD
I had this idea of a magic type class using a scepter or focus as a melee wep, for a ele maybe a blade or weapon head made of each element, or the spear for rev on land like the revenant finisher xD
Or you know, Dervish successor, not Dervish for lore reasons but still I really wanna play this class again in gw 2 >_<
I thought the event was fun at first, did well, but now I find it crap, and I don’t get anything good for all the work I put in but it doesn’t matter as my team is always a man down with none moved onto ours and don’t forget they always 3 – 4 v 1 you.
Just do the participation dailies and that’s it, put it like this, the Arah dungeon has had a bug since launch and 4 years on it still hasn’t been fixed, I really liked this game but now that I am basically end game I am starting to see cracks in it, and when they put some crappy pvp as an event with no decent reward I feel like I’m being taken for a ride.
And end game isn’t about your skill but if you have the gold to craft ascended gear or if your RNG is amazing and you get a pre or legendary, me? I am always getting blue gear and some green xD
Don’t even get me started on how there seem to be more black lion chest weapon skins than obtainable without money skins >_<
I enjoyed this class ankitten ow trying out a Shiro, Demon build. I was looking forward to using Glint and after I used it for a while I did enjoy it, but it feels like such a lazy spec as you will more than likely will just be running round with 2 – 3 facets on (The heal one sucked and especially so with the regen or if you are taking damage from a single foe and not many to convert their damage into heals) and not intending to activate them.
But everything you see for Rev builds always has Glint, always has shield and it feels like such a limited class as Glint seems to be the only way to go if you wanna go far with Rev.
They should rework the shield skill, it is supposed to be used with Herald as a support so instead of giving it a good amount of heals maybe you apply damage protection to people around the shield?
As people are using it solely for healing when it is, as far as the class goes, supposed to work as a type of support.
Leave the healing to Ventari builds.
And onto the class diversity as a whole, when making my Shiro/Demon build the specs are almost entirely dedicated to a certain legend, they need to add in some more base specs so you have more build posibilities as right now it seems to be Glint + x Legend (Most of the time it is Shiro)
I hope they nerf the shield or rework it to be support focused and need self heal because the facet isn’t cutting it xD
