Guild Wars 2

Wilsonstorm hands down, but I also hear that crysis is not bad. However, he no longer stream so I can’t really speak on him.

Well. Maybe you’re not the sPvP type?? There is a reason why I spent most of my time on spvp. I literally have an orgasm everytime I killed someone or win a game.

Soul.9280:

The matchmaking in unranked is so bad right now, last night in one of my matches one of the people assigned to my side disconnected during the 90 seconds before the match started and never came back, and in spite of a 4v5 my team won (though it was a very close match). The other team was full of bad players, whereas I got to Legendaryx2 in season 1 (and while not ESL level am clearly not “new” or “bad”), and at least one person on my team is a stronger player than I am (I’ve grouped with him many times). I appreciate that we won, and I enjoyed the challenge, but that match-up was in no way shape or form “fair” or even close to fair if we were able to win without a player (even if he likely was our worst player).

That arrogance… What makes you think the other camp was bad (Skill wise obviously )?? Have you considered that they might have been trying new builds??? After the matchmaking tweaks, my first 10 games were a bit easy so I was able to win them all, but after those I was pretty much back to my spot; as I was able to fight against PZ and ez pz.

kuritsutian.2987:

I also got in a match with 4 mesmers + me (ele) … that was before new queuing patch. My guess is that they are trying to make the most battles with a single player per class, but since there would be always a remaining group, a match is punished (takes the bullet for the team) with the class in excess. … this is just a theory of mine tho.

We all had our share of those . Which is ok, however solely blaming Anet for it is wrong since most people can switch toon in game. Tbh, it less of an issue in high elo. To follow up on that,I believe the matchmaking tweaks kind of fix it a little bit; as I am seeing less of them. My games thus far have pretty much being diverse .

From talks with friends, matches, etc. This season is probably going to be tempest, druid, herald, scrapper, reaper.

All other classes should hope for the best when it comes to innovative team comps. But beyond that start considering a class to play for the upcoming league.

There can only be five.

Tempest over thief? WTF!

There is a really strong sustain ele build that does good damage. You will be surprised if you haven’t seen it yet.

I called this one first and people were laughing at me.

Are there any bunker specs left after the patch? BESIDES Bunker Guardian?

I would say not even bunker guardian. The closest thing to a bunker right now are druids.

the ignorance…

When the forums are full of newbies, it’s pretty much expected. And the Op amulet is what make a toon bunky, Granted that most people think bunker were removed, that’s a myth because the novel amulet ( the one with toughness and vitality) can still do the job. However. You can no longer rely on your tanky Ness to win or stall 3 vs 1 unless your ele.

Yup. I am getting the same thing. I hope they will fix it tomorow.

Yeah another l2p post.

Well, the op is probably a noob or nee to the gane 0r someone who just got back to the gane. I mean warrior and 8 was able to beat team pz and ez pz today with my warrior won 15 out of 20 games today. So, I belive the Op is just venting.

Started that way, then 10 games (wins) down the line I have started getting pz and ez pz players.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that my are now at 1 to 2 min.

I still see teams with 3+ of the same class. Stop putting me in teams with 3 mesmers. Holy shot.

How is it Anet problem?? You make no sense at all. They cant match against toon,I doubt we have to technology for it. And even if it was possible, players can still re roll midst a game. So you are asking for the impossible if I were you I’d L2P.

What?
I cannot for the life of me imagine how they could have a system where it not passible for the system to grab what profession a player is on.

It’s not a tech problem, it’s a “is this worth the increase in queue times” problem.

I found “match against toon” to be unintelligible but assumed based on the context of the post you where responding to, that you where talking about preventing class stack in matches.
If there is some other interpretation, It’s unknown to me.

Would finally free up utility slots for literally anything else.

About as likely as the baseline Fast Hands, though. Considering how many constructive ways to rebalance warriors we have seen posted here over the last few months and how little of a difference that made in the end.

We got this instead:

Warrior

We’ve taken a look at the warrior’s baseline abilities, adjusting cooldowns, damage, and in some cases even functionality. Our goal for this iteration is to give you a bit more to play with in a single weapon set so that the cooldowns feel more active and fun to play around with. Rifle has also seen a bit of a rework, gaining a more defensive nature while retaining its overall purpose of kill-shotting every enemy of Tyria. We’ll also be taking another pass at improving the berserker elite specialization, focusing on increasing its usability in various game modes and promoting more active skill use in trait design. Lastly, we’ll improve the warrior’s ability to sustain themselves in combat.

Delete them from Utility skills.

And instead add them as new Burst skills.

Example:

F3 Endure Pain
F4 Balanced Stance
F5 Berseker Stance

• These Burst skills can be balanced easily by making them a cooldown based skills or Adrenaline consuming skills or a mixture of both
• You can put whatever Stance skill you desire in these 3 new F slots like (Frenzy, Defiant Stance)

Nope,that’s just stupid. That will make warriir OP. Warrior do not need a buff or anything. They are pretty strong atm. You just don’t know how to build them. Lol I got my kitten handed to me by a warriir harder than anymore I ve thought thus far. So learn to play the class dude.

Now that is a good joke. Doesn’t even matter if you are serious or not.

Have you ever fought against wilsonstorm? And btw I wasn’t joking we are pretty strong atm, what we are missing is synergy with our teammates.

Why wouldn’t you want to see this change if all we lack is team synergy? Changing warrior stances thus would free up three utilities slots. That makes room for other utilities which might actually synergize with your team.

And about the other part, asking me whether I fought Wilsonstorm as an indication for warrior balance is a bit amusing. Almost as amusing as you taking a duel against him as an indication.
And anyways, all I know about Wilsonstorm is that he has a stream. I take it you consider him one of the top warriors out there.
Then the question should be whether he ( or any top warrior ) fought other top players and how that ended.

But what you are proposing is not how it should be done. If anything this ideas of yours would make warrior OP.

So there’s a learn to play issue with the pro ESL players? I mean, they only implemented a new rule where there’s no class stacking, maybe it’s because they suck.

Maybe that too. Just to clarify l2p doesn’t solely include winning 1 vs 1 and learning the other class tricks. Rotating the maps. Knowing who you can an can’t take also constitute L2p. But I am going to back down because I don’t know what the mesmers were running.

Best suggestion I have seen thus far, and @the bravery RR is on the opest traits out there if used / timed correctly. So, it doesn’t need a mechs change.

Given that Anet just released/announced a new matchmaking system, We will see if unrank will stay as bad as it is now.

I got into a match against two members of PZ. Got stomped. Does me getting matched with them mean I’m almost as good as them? Because that’d be awesome. xD

(Though I know I’m not).

That’s what I am looking forwards to; Can’t wait to check it for myself.

I want my game to be as competitve as possible. So I would seriously mind if your new matchmaking system matches me with noobs. But definitely looking towards it.

I mean I paid full price for a barely finished expansion that basically made the PvP scene a complete joke so why not?

I am getting real sick and tired of these maps being played over and over again. This game came out back in 2012 and we have less than 10 sPvP maps? Jebus. Then we have ranked which only plays like what, 5 maps? Lol.

Oh, balance is the Devs’ focus? Well where is it then?

And yes, I do play other games so don’t suggest I play another game instead. :P

It would be nice if other maps were added to the rotation; however, most people refuse to play them and they demand that they be removed from the ranked scene.

E.g.:
-Court Yard
-Sky Hammer
-Strong Hold
-Spirit Watch
-Raid on the Capricorn

Even if they introduced more conquest style maps, you will end up with the same teams complaining that it shouldn’t be in ranked and anet will bow to their demands.

Deathmatch isn’t even an option to queue for which tells me that have abandoned that game mode.

Until they introduce Stronghold into Tournament play there is no point in pushing out more maps of that game mode since it will end up like Deathmatch.

It’s a real shame too.. so many interesting maps that can be done with any of the game modes….

Team Death Match:
-Hall of Heroes (gw1)
-Ascalon Arena (gw1)
-Crown Pavilion (gw2)
-Some Orrian Style map
-Bandits Rest (GW2 Raid) lot of neat places to snipe and hide from sniping, that part of the raid is a nice box shape to begin with. Just need to work out a red and blue spawn section.

Conquest:
-Re-add Raid on the Capricorn and make the water shallow or re-add underwater combat to PvP some how.
- Some orrian style map to where you have 3 altars
-A Jungle style map with 3 ponds

Strong Hold:
-Viziers Glory
One team is done in a style of a char camp, the other team done in a style of the Orrians. Charrs objective is to break their way into viziers tower to kill the Vizier. The Orrians objective is to break into the charr camp and kill the charr commander.

just some ideas ._.

would love for 1v1 best of 5 fights to be added as a game mode. Rather small arena to fight in, add a 5 minute timer per fight. First to win 3 fights, wins.

This….

And about the jungle them map,I thought forest of nithel does the job quite nicely.

LOL you can not say this, i saw you in a match and i was impressed since you timed your defiant stance really nice but you lost a 1 vs 1 to my teams necro and DH. I was playing warrior and it was a close fight between us but a thief from my team came in and downed you instantly but you can not honestly say this.

If it was this week end then it was my ping. I usually play with 140 ping on weekends there is not much I can do. But on weekday it’s a different story. So I stand by my words.

Chaith.8256:

I stream unranked, and it isn’t the end of the world once your volatility and matchmaking settles.

It’s really just halting any sense of progression for the average player, and isn’t that what we play MMOs for? I don’t see why the in game seasons aren’t back to back. Has any MMO done this before? Very strange indeed.

All hail the ALL MIGHTY CHAITH … LISTEN GUYS LISTEN..
IN CHAITH WE BELIEVE!!!

Of course you need time to analyze something, patch 8ncluded for that hence. Hence why I didn’t hold , anyone who said the patch sucke, to their words.

Krysard.1364:

Dunno how people is dumb enough to contradict the fact that this patch, even if not perfect, has severely improved the state of the game

Folks who haven’t been playing as much as they should; and expect things to magically get better for them. They are also know as the entitlement generation.

Coronit.9432:

They are not very consistent with it though.

Well. That’s because it a bad idea, I wouldn’t want them to separate pvp from pve. I mean in pve all you have to do is learn the boss mechs. Like how hard is it?

And about the eles being strong in PVE or PVP,that has nothing to do with balance. They might be strong but they are as strong as necro, engi,revs and maybe thieves so they are pretty much balanced in their tier. Seeing that balance equates to having everyone on equal standing.

I am having sucess overall.. the only fight I am losing are against 2 DH

Why aren’t you and your mother using discipline then?

You don’t get it. I don’t neccesarly disagree with the league/patch cycle. However if this means that there is no competitive mode at all in the meantime which is a month then the system is flawed.

There should be a competitive alternative. Like a soloqueue ladder that does not use the league system but displays in leader board. If something like that is not possible then they atleast should reduce this month to like 4 weeks. You really think the month will make them balance the game better than if they watched closely for 2 weeks and actually reacted with small balance changes? Inb4 no balance patch at all. If you are pro, 2 weeks are enough to adept. If anything it would be more fun to watch a meta that is not completely set in stone yet with a few surprises.

If you think a month time will increase meta quality then I would just like you to remember last seasons meta and prove you wrong.

First you are ok with the break being 4 weeks long = 28 days but you can’t stand a 31 day break?

And also unranked can be competitve given that you have a good winrate.

I think he is trying to say that Anet is screwing up hard, by first promoting the game as Esports, then disables ranked queue for a month!!? Right after patch, when the balance is suppose to be tested, and you can’t test balance in Unranked, cause the amount of bad players in unranked is extremely high, even with good winrate. How many other actual Esports games do you see disable ranked queues for a whole freaking month??

I know what he meant and I have conceded what you failed to see is the op saying :
*Like a soloqueue ladder that does not use the league system but displays in leader board. If something like that is not possible then they atleast should reduce this month to like 4 weeks. *
And tbh, breaks are kind of needed. Or the leagues would have that league feeling if they were open 24/7

Yea, didn’t get the month -> 4 week thing either. But still, queues should only be closed for a week, 2 at max. No more, or the game population in PvP starts to drop heavily.

Yup I wouldn’t mind a 2 3 week break.

Actually that is problem of gw2. GW2 seem having huge balance issue everytime they implements something new patch due to so many classes and so many build diversity.

BnS is quite simple as compared to gw2, but idk, i found that game no depth as compared to gw2, but much more balanced than gw2. Becuz it is hard for ncsoft dev to balance as long as their game remains simple.

If you were dev what would you select?
1. Implement diversity, and have balance issue everytime you implement something new, resulting in people quit the game. But generally, game with diversity is more fun than simple game when balance is perfect.

2. Make game simple, less build dependant game like BnS or LoL.

well idk. Having diversity is good and the main point why we play this game but sometimes it is disaster when it gets too complicated for even devs.

I agree but I wouldn’t compare bns to lol since one is a moba and the other is a failed MMO.

Its literally ONLY because anet was nice enough to allow people to play for free that these complaints are surfacing…

Not really, instead of being honest and saying they were adding a free trial (be it a glorified one), they hyped it up as ‘free to play’, they brought the complaints upon themselves.

No they didnt hype it up as “free to play”, they very specifically choose the phrasing “play for free” for this exact purpose, to stress that it is still a buy to play game, and you CAN play for free to try it out

And not only that, but the official post from anet where they announced play for free also specifically says that the reason they are doing this is to let new players try the game so that if they like it enough they will BUY HEART OF THORNS. It says right in the official announcement that they intend players to buy the full game if they plan to stick around

This is like the most ridiculous argument I have ever read.

You are saying that every “free to play” game that exists can add as many pay to win features as they want, including stuff like permanent stat boosts, or a literal one time use button which will automatically count a match as a win, as long as they rename their model to “play for free”? Marketing must be like the easiest job ever.

No im saying every BUY to play game has every right to exclude features from anyone who didnt BUY the game, and the amount of the content the game developers allow to be accessed for free still doesnt change the fact that if you want the full game you have to purchase it

This... you have summed it up nicely my friend

What is there to explain when it takes you 3 man to kill a scrapper. That did it for me.

Typical response. Clear to elaborate they’re easy to kill? No then don’t.

Condi build -> Cleanse, Heal constantly
Ranged attacks -> Reflects
Power build. -> Lots of healing, toughness. Will outlast you.
Bunker -> Scrapper out bunkers you.

Only consistent way to beat a scrapper is a 3 v 1

Lmao are you serious?? “Only consistent way to kill scrapper is 3 vs 1” thanks for the laugh . If it takes you 3 people to kill a scrapper then this is Def a L2P issue.

I still run a burn Engi when I’m bored. Gets wrecked easily by condi removal, but it seems some people take little to no condi removal, or blow their condi clear just for that 2 burns and some bleeds, and then of course proceed to tell me how condi is op.

And the crazy thing is, I could have much higher survival if I just took the meta Scrapper build, but whatever.

A fair percentage of players take no condi removal, stun breaks or stability and complain about condi’s, “constant cc” and always stunned. I’ve always thought that condi removal, stability and a stun break are the 3 things a build must have. After that you get creative.

This

Maybe because they released a patch and people are still adapting to the new patch?? Or maybe because some classes got nerfed and those folks are still adapting to the meta? What would have been unacceptable is to start the league without giving time to those classes (buffed or nerfed) to adjust to the meta.

Petoox.6570:

tbh Scrapper is broken. And before you say l2p, I mean from personally playing as Scrapper.

I main warrior but their prowess doesn’t come from their mechs.. ig anything it depends on their amulet and runes, Granted that their runes help. But how many engi do you know who runes bezerker??

Scrapper toughness is a l2p issue.

AivenPrimus.9184:

People talk about condi pressure and what not,
but something that is written on a paper, not always is the same in reality.

Like I said before, people were too busy with bunkers (Durability rune + w/e).
Every match there were at least ~3 bunkers per team(druids,eles,mesmers)
Now that pretty much every bunker is dead, it is possible to see how ’’effective’’ DH really are.

DH is like a virus, which you dont seem to notice it at first, until it starts moving up the stages,

Those so called ’’nerf’’ did nothing about his core issue.
Anet merely fiddled with some random skills that had no difference on DH.

It would be best to cure them before it gets any worse,
And it is really getting annoying how everyone gets one-shotted after DH teleports(judges intervention) on them.

This ‘’lets just shove this problem under a rug’’ mentality should really stop.

Lol,you are saying condi pressure is a myth?? Why can’t you treat a dh like a bunker then? I remember back then you needed at least 3 people to kill a bunker. Anyone who knows what he is doing can 1 vs 1 a Dh, 2 vs 1 a Dh is a definitive win. Again your argument is invalid.

Remove berserker marauder valkyrie viper amulets
DH and revs might be ballanced in pve were they Maybe need sustain stats. But with theese dps stats it gets to much in sPVP , wvw

Like thiefs gaining more dps so they can spec sustain. Problem is they just go more dps and hit to much like DH.

The reward on taking more sustain on classes like warrior isent viable and war dps also to much on berserker amulet. Like kill shot. To stupid
On paladin amulet its a no go swap cause sustain Loose to damage

That’s the dumbest proposal I have heard. Instead of learning to evade. You are actually asking Anet to remove the amulets ?? The op is dying to DH because they either counter his class or he keeps on running into their traps alone. A few words with his teammates might solve his issues instead of whining about trivial nonsensical stuff such as DH dps.q which is the only thing that keeps them viable.

rchu.8945:

Anet’s failed experiment is not the Dragonhunter, it’s the Chronomancer.

I would respectfully disagree. The necro buff was needed because they always get targeted first, at least in high elo. The survability of a necro on the battle field is less than 30 sec (depending on the necros and his opponent skills).

Well. Can you please send me your set of ascended armor. And a few T6 mats if you have any.

And as your post stand. Its utter crap so I don’t know what to say!! Here is a tip though : instead of blaming . What you called incompetent devs, why not blame your incompetent skills?? Just a thought (sorry if I offended you there, please OP don’t take it personally as I still want your ascended gear).

My bone of contention is that there used to be: bunker and burst (that branches more). Now, there is just burst. There are literally necros who charge you and you are dead in 5-6 seconds. And you can’t do anything about it, because they lock you in total fear. Thieves just have to press 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 and occasionally teleport away and stealth. Revenants just come to you, troll you around, and when you get them to 1% they press their magic button which fully heals them and on top of it they give you chill and run away (trolling level 9000).

Yeah, this is what I don’t like. And it DOES seem that there are just mesmers necros and thieves…. This new HoT crap skills brought so much confusion on the battlefield…When chronomancer and necro pop their AoEs I don’t see kitten and actually it doesn’t matter, because if they pop it, you are insta-dead.

For defenders of this kitten, I have just one message: enjoy your burst psycho play. I’m out, even for dailies.

Dumbest comment ever, have you ever heard of amulet?

I used to think the same but no, dragonhunters don’t have too much of everything, they are severly lacking in condi clear and sustain, all they give is might and fury with rune of the dragon hunter, they have almost no answer to cc and are weak to conditions. why do you think reapers have such an easy time with DH.

The only high end damage dealers are true, shot and procession of blades. everything else doesn’t really stand out compared to other classes unless u build up might first. nerfing true shot as said above would simply be too much. DH is fine as it is now. Also True shot is such a telegraphed attack that u really stand an fair chance of dodging it.

dragonhunter is a spec that just like berserker sacrifices sustain for pure burst. if that’s the case it should capable of dealind good dps. they already nerfed traps and their cc.

Don’t forget their squishyness! !!

Lol ..L2p dude . Seriously though unlike ele scrapper cant aoe. And they are pretty easy to kill once you learn their mechs. And if I may. What is your main profession?

This is such a dumb thread, its a shame people would rather argue semantics than discuss the actual issues surrounding sPvP and its very much unarguable pricing model.

Almost everyone calling for improved accessibility to elite specs own HoT, but want to see GW2 sPvP compete with bigger, more profitable competitive multiplayer games.

Unfortunately people seem to be focusing on comparing sPvP to WoW.

How are you doing that? Why are you doing that?

There is of course only one answer. sPvP is just a minigame to you, you great and wise MMO player.

Esportz 2016? The dream is real.

You are the one who is dancing around the bush HOT is GW2. And GW2 is an MMO not a MOBA due to PVE. Lastly,let me remind you that gw2 is spvp. Wvw and pve together.

1. Anet made core part open to f2p users and HoT for p2w users exclusively. This will never make new players valuable but become a feed of p2w users. Thus it makes f2p meaningless cuz under this logic anet cannot welcome their new users.

Really? Pay to win? You should go and check the difinition of the words, before you throw them around in forums. F2p is nothing more then a glorified trial, as it should be. The game is still very much PAY TO PLAY and not PAY TO WIN. It was said thousand times already – an expansion is NOT pay to win. Also you dont actually expect users who haven’t paid anything to have the same benefits as paying users, do you? If anything f2p did imho is bought more people into the game, because now people have the option to actually test the game, before they decide whether to purchase it or not. You didnt get that before, and it was in a way a leap of faith.

2. They mostly balance their game with their guild chat with their restricted esl players or reedit (from my guess). And i see many opinions going there is biased. Resulting in game unbalanced, therefore many thief, warrior players quit the game.

Did you slept over the last patch or something? Thiefs got nothing, but buffs in the last patch, and I dont think anyone can complain about them being not viable right now. If anyone still complain about thiefs, its marely a l2p issue.

3. Too many changes, in last 2 years they kittened shoutbow, dd ele builds as well as lots of new builds came out. This changes made many common user result in exhausted in this game, cuz they don’t wannna spend new more time to be familiar with new build.

If a game doesnt change for 2 years, then you know the devs are doing something wrong. Of course new builds will come into play, and old ones will drop off. Its up for the players to adapt around those changes. Those who do not want to, or are incapable of doing so gets left behind. Simple as that. It’s an mmo game – for every 1 player who quits, 5 new players are introduced into the game. And the game is very, very far from dead. Quite honestly I am getting a little tired of reading all of you doomsayers around the forums.

4. Pro league with tier system. this is honestly just fail. This will never work. I saw many twitch streamer quit gw2 for this reason a lot, and what they say is mostly like “idk, i just don’t play gw2 becuz of anet starting esports or whatevrr, i don’t want to esports…” this kinda thing.

As with pretty much everything else, this is purely subjective. While a do agree season 1 of the leagues was very bad executed with all of the exploiters, bad matchmaking and the terrible bunker meta.. I don’t believe the idea as a whole is flawed. It has potential and time will tell if the changes they bring with season 2 will be successful or not.

And etc, probably more reasons,

Very much interested to see what those etc more reasons are, because from my perspective none of your previous ones were viable.

1. Yup. You have to have hot to equally fight. With core you cannot win. It becomes obvious when you 1vs1.

2. did you miss i put during season 1, which is before recent buff?

3. Did you check i said the game is not not dead? on the top? it is far from dead like you said. Do you have an eye?

I am glad you are a retired streamer because you make no sense at all. Still though,what are you doing around these waters?? It had been proven again and again that gw2 is pay 2 play not pay to win?? Which part of those words aren’t you getting??

SlayerSixx.5763:

That’d be an OK analogy if you could differentiate which part of the circle is the original part and which is the expanded section.

Well lets use your analogy, once the house has the extra rooms can you go buy it without them? Nope, just like HoT they are part of the game from now on and cannot be bought without.

The game is HoT+Core now, you cannot get Core alone any more. There is only the big circle and those who have yet to buy or upgrade.

This … end of the discussion. . It has been proven that HOT or GW2 is not p2w is b2p..

Warlord.9074:

Bringing warrior into the meta will solve some of those problems.

Lol you can’t be serious …
