This could help the game be a little easier to follow for a spectator as well, or somebody who doesnt feel like taking track of 3 different endurance regens on 5 different people along with 5 pets and 5 different stealths.
And how is it so dumbed down when a lot of people would become more aware of a unique gw2 mechanic? Oh noes, they see when i can dodge now, im so mad he didnt have to count to 5.
Whats next? Not showing hp bars? (yes thats a pathetic argument but someone else used it and so will i)
I think most win/ratio’s at the moment are screwed by the amount of 4v5 and skyhammer…Good players could easily get over 60% win ratio if it weren’t for those two things. Until there’s no more 4v5 and skyhammer, leaderboards ranks won’t mean a thing
Yes but shouldnt these things happen equally to pro 1 and pro 2? With enough games played these things should even out somewhat between players. If the matchmaking really was badly coded before than why would we put the brand new improvements with the already ruined hidden MMR? People need to give it more time, there’s probably a lot of guys out there that havent even played yet for whatever reason, for all you know its a good player that won his first few games but then gets owned because hes rusty or has an out of style build and cant compete at your rating.
With a low playerbase you could get 1-2 of these guys in your match for now at least.
P.S if you yourself are not noob, then the chance of getting the most noobs/leavers is always higher for the enemy team.

Diamond Skin is a passive ability but does NOT promote passive play on either side.
Go compare that to healing signet. Diamond skin will easily get off in a group, and to keep it up an ele and his team will have to be pretty kitten non-passive about it.
Duels then? Already a joke, nobody cares. We got some years ahead of us if you guys want epic balanced skill based duels in this game.
That said not a fan of Diamond Skin due to the 100% immunity thing more than its ‘passiveness’ which is leagues below other true passive skills which dont alter gameplay.
Yeah, like endure pain, shield stance, zerker stance, balanced stance, greatsword evade+4k crit (on the same skill plus being a mobility tool).
By all means keep buying into your little myth of light armored targets having more avoidance.
when one profession is balanced, it does not mean that balanced profession is overpowered. it usually means the other professions are not that balanced and require some upward adjustments to be on more par with other professions.
warriors
- can be tough, can tank damage
- can do lots of damage
if they trait / spec themselves for that purpose.
they cannot do everything.
+10000
Warrior is totally fine, op nub l2p qq thread. Warrior is not op , all other profs too weak. HS is more than fine, all other healing too weak. Warrior is only stronk when traited. If no trait warrior can’t do everything. Op needs to learn how to dodge. Dodge all warrior attacks op l2p. Op need to keep warrior poisoned 100%. Op need to learn bringing friends to fight warrior, when facing 3 players warrior goes down fast or runs away fast. Warriors is balanced its op doen’t know teamwork. Whoever says warrior can do everything is nub. Warr can dps tank cc sustain support run but Warr can’t steal, can’t clone, can’t invis, can’t haz pet, can’t summons spirits, can’t rtl, can’t backstab, can’t sanctuary, can’t haz z axis teleport…. 100b worst dps skills no one uses it. Kills shot can be dodged reflected. Hammer f1 predictable. 5 is too slow. Wtf warrior can’t even use short bow how can warrior be op?
I wish they would take skyhammer out of tournaments— but that’s a different topic altogether. Many players see no reward in PvP since you cannot bring anything outside of PvP except for titles and maybe some new honed skills
Is it though? As a pvp only player, would i really feel the need to run around in pve with that? No, i probably wont pve anyway. For me the reward comes from being good and getting better at the game itself, but it has to be enjoyable and respected enough by the community for that to feel worth my time. If that’s settled then all i need is a title here and there, maybe a cool looking armor, and i would never feel the need to show it off in pve.
I would even go so far as to say that the pve players would enjoy bringing their stuff to pvp more. Partly because i reckon its a bigger switch going from pve to pvp.
There is no meta. What happens is people play, then whine about X Build instead of adapting to it. Anet Nerfs X Build, so players move to Y build, and the cycle repeats.
There is no santaclaus. What happens is that a fat man in a red suit goes all over the world and drops presents at your christmas tree.
“thing you’ll see before years end”
-Less particle
-legendary weapons
Already conflict there. legendary weapons produce the most particle effect
Thats a pretty unfair assumption to make, that those two are exclusive to one another.
Also some dude having a purple shine on a weapon isnt going to distract or clog up the screen like every skill having a purple explosion of legendary proportions.
I despise 8v8, but i still did not choose 5v5 only. Now if we have 5v5 only then the issue of ‘people leaving makes a much bigger difference in 8v8 than 5’s’ should be remedied some as there would be six more players wanting to join a new match compared to everybody playing 8’s.
Not sure how i can explain this better, its a little early.
But still i dont think it should be removed if some people enjoy it. So i choose preferred 5v5. But i wouldnt really care either way personally as long kitten ’s becomes the main thing.
I dont see how this is such a horrible idea. The balance will get ‘screwed up’ a little when new and improved Sigils are out anyway. Do crit builds have a lot more options? Yeah, i think they do. So either this suggestion or simply adding more sigils, the latter of which would probably be a little easier to balance though, but being able to choose between (almost) ALL sigils is admittedly more fun.
Oh look they’re toning the game down just as they said, and we asked. I know it hurts a little more when you bump your own toe but overall its a nice direction they’re moving in with this. Especially the ele changes are a little weird and counter productive to me since if they actually felt ele should end up weaker they would have nerfed fresh air or some stuff, gap only seems to have widened, but overall i appreciate the effort.
Cause, people like rooting for certain players, others like to see amazing people do amazing stuff. Individual skill is too greatly diminished in a 15v15, not to mention the amount of AOE in this game would make every fight look the same. The brackets we see in most comparable games are tried and true.
-Spamming CC, well, it’s a niche. The cc spamming warrior isn’t the issue, its that they are defensive, offensive AND good at cc. That’s the issue, and they realize that and are working on it.
It sort of is an issue when only 1 build can output such CC. CC has always been important and when there are no other options in that area it will cause inflated numbers and is unhealthy for the game. Luckily Anet sees this and has already said that the Mesmer will get more CC, on the other hand who actually wants to lose control of their character even more than now?
I think this is a bigger issue than ‘condition spam’ which is how some classes simply deliver their damage and set up kills.
Yeah I don’t look anymore. I have a 5 button mouse and I’m only really lacking a key for dodge. I have to double tap directional keys to dodge but it’s worked fine so far. I don’t hit any of the F1-4 keys, they’re all remapped closer to home.
Really? 5 button mouse and you need a key for dodge. That would be one of the first to put on your mouse.
Dodge, interrupt, heal, stunbreak. The other (gcd) abilities i just use keys for. Also rebinded F-keys to Z X C and V, those are just kitten binds.
the only thing brainless is people refusing to learn how to deal with it. Nothing in this game takes all that much skill and when we talk warrior its the most straight forward class in the game and those same qualities work against it.
When you see a warrior there’s no surprises, you know exactly what he wants to do and you can approach the fight accordingly. But that’s not happening, people die with full endurance, with long range weapons fighting warriors point blank and ignoring any stances or boons that warrior happens to have running(ie all the people dumping condi on zerker stance warriors).
The hammer was capable of high dmg since launch, the big difference now is that hammer wasn’t popular(gs was all the rage) and a wave of new players that don’t want to learn counters but instead want to call for nerfs.
The sad part is that Dec 11 the forums will be full of a whole new batch of nerf threads featuring some other class or mechanic and the cycle will continue because as long as someone doesn’t want to learn how to deal with a build, except that hes being countered, except that he just needs to improve(who doesn’t need to improve?) or that he screwed up the river of tears will continue to flow.
I wasnt OP, everyone else just sucked! Glad to see you’re building a bridge instead of adding tears to the river though oh wait
So yeah shouldnt ANET have statistics and data on almost every kitten warrior fight out there? You cant honestly believe a (poorly executed) method like this is going to sway their opinion.
Warriors are pretty strong right now, but will be seeing changes in an upcoming patch.
We like how they can be tanky, and we like how they can do DPS if they want. We also like the CC they can bring. We just don’t like them doing it all with 1 build.
Can you please share the 30/30/30/30/30 build with me?
Because everytime I deal lots of dmg, i lose all my defense and my CC.
If i’m a tank,i lose my dmg.
And so far I haven’t seen a proper middle way.
I think these things exists only in other people’s mind,whom are not warriors.
Lead Game Designer telling you that Warrior are OP and still you people put your fingers in your ears and go LALALALALA. Its just amazing. Maybe the problem is in your mind.
Do you still only play Guardian? It never hurts to try out the classes that give you the most trouble for a day. Its quite important to have a general idea of how the enemy would react to you.
As for hope: You are in the right mindet to improve, and that’s the most important part of all.
I like how ele self healing was far too high so it got butchered, then they give the same healing to warriors a patch or 2 later along with the CC that ele staff should have. (Actually nobody should have this.)
Oh god…
Yes please Anet, rework our class and bring us back GW1 mesmer.
Then all the whiners will know what frustration really is and be able to kill themselves.
I have (no) empathy for them.
I know right. Its like the new mesmers are a perfect example, the very personification of the decay in quality and skill based gameplay going from GW1 to GW2.
And you guys enjoy playing this the most. Just saiyan.
Just looked at Playing to Win: Becoming the Champion by David Sirlin and read the start.
Sounds like this bloke is so full of s!ht. Anyone that reads this and takes this seriously needs to reconsider why they are playing video games.
Even if playing competitively this book is not the way to go about it.
You’re wrong, we all know the worlds greatest winners have always walked the path most travelled. They never innovate, just play what the masses play. Yep.
Especially considering the dueling mechanics of this game are a bit lacking (see my other posts in this forum), it’s important to have the strategic element for a skillful/thoughtful game.
Thats a good point but i feel that making a mode which focuses more on this dueling (3v3 i would prefer actually) would be a great way to analyze and fix those dueling mechanics.
What if the team was AFK or not online and challengers come along? And each realm will only have one of this challenge arena? Or should it be something like custom arenas, buy one of these challenge arenas, make a name for yourself, and get challengers that way? Might be best if there was some way for ANET to make moneys here.
No it isnt. If you click you cannot look at the entirity of the screen, or rather the middle, where all the action happens. And especially a utility like a stunbreak, you have to bind those because its simply faster. The world fastest bestest clicker is never going to be faster than a moderate player with keybinds.
Think of it like this: if you click once and you’re 0.2 second slower, ok you probably wont notice that too much. But in an extended fight its 0.2+0.2+0.2+0.2 etc, and in a highly competitive game every second counts.
Depends on how much you play…but i would count on a couple weeks. Though it really starts getting crazy at 39+ imo. Ofcourse go to skyhammer and do it in the blink of an eye.
Calm down there ranger. I know its in your nature to automatically start attacking (get it?) but this isnt just a whine vs ranger. Its an observation about the state of all classes and the risk vs reward of these.
So far, all I’m seeing is an DPS obsessed elementalist who is used to spiking everyone down in 3 seconds, but failed to with a ranger — so he came here to complain. My apologies, I may be over generalizing somewhat, but that’s all I see.
You missed the part where the ranger won without playing.
I just imagine this ranger polishing his monocle while inhaling caviar, laughing at other people for not having it as easy as him, making money as he drinks his tea in a lazy chair while the peasants are sweating in the cornfield.
