Forest Strategy: When to Kill Bosses?

in PvP

Posted by: GhOst.4019

Think of it this way too. I have seen it happen so many times. My team goes 1 home 4 mid. Enemy goes 4 mid 1 home as well. Our home point man then goes mid, your player then goes boss. It snowballs due to being outnumbered and your team looses the point. Or as our guy comes off home he sees 1 of your team dying at mid (which will then shortly be a 4v3), he then pushes far instead and while your 5th is either still killing boss or rounding the backside to mid, you just lost home. mid is then still a 4v4 and your guy that died at mid is on a 1v1 at your home point that is either capped in our favor or still neut. Either way you now have no caps. Beast killers always run around the back to mid and is a free decap on that point if someone is pushing it.

Like I said though. Many situations, scenarios and strategies. Beast is just never in your favor. Should be used to catch up if needed at the end and that is it. If it is a close game, you just got wiped and the boss kills will win it. Charge in.

Where do you see all these devs? I’m on a EU french server and I’ve never seen one with the Anet tag.

I see a at least 2 different devs in PvP a week. My friends see even more in WvW (mainly EoTM). Devs seem to like EoTM and most devs, like most players that don’t have tomes go there to lvl fastest to 80. Rangers have been spotted the most but I can’t say for sure that is what most of them main, because no one knows these numbers. Just 2 days ago my firend went into EoTM and said there were 5 devs running with the zerg, 1 war, 1 guard, 3 rangers. 1 ranger & guard not 80 yet.

As Grouch stated, he wants to help the team out and will play whatever he needs to. I have seen him on Engi mostly but I am sure that is mainly because, what team doesn’t need an engi? I have also seen him play other classes. If engi was to ever become basically useless in PvP (shouldn’t due to balance) I am sure Grouch would play another class more often.

Players should want to help the team. Not willing to switch when there is 3 thieves and it’s not the daily, to me blows my mind. Never the less, it happens.

I am sure there are some devs in EU, whether they live there or just play there; but Anet is in the USA, NA see’s them a lot more.

Also. As stated MF works on ALL boxes & bags that come from PvP reward tracks.

Magic Find is both an account bonus and a character attribute that increases the chance to receive higher-quality loot from slain foes. With a couple exceptions, it does not affect containers (including champion loot bags), chests, or any other source of loot.1 2 The exceptions are:

Containers received from structured PvP reward tracks.

That is exactly what I said. You linked and example of something I just stated. 200% of 1 is 3. It is a 1% chance to get a rare, aka the next category. If the table is 1-100 then you move to 3/100 = 3%. The drop rates are in categories but are displayed in percents; which means the tables are most likely 1-100. Pre’s are exotics, and therefore in your theory the same bracket; but they are not. They have a completely different drop rate which is categorized as a percent like everything else.

Either way we are not going to argue the exact science of drop rates and magic find because it is all theory by players. Nothing is confirmed by Anet one way or the other. But basically he had 217% higher the normal chance to get a rare one way or the other; no matter where the exact numbers actually lie. Where it sounds like he thought he had 217% chance to get one period, which means every time. Instead of 217% higher what the original chance is.

So it sounds like I had the right idea. Has anybody found a quick way to explain this to teammates that works? Or am I just going to have to keep watching Warriors and Guardians try to solo it only to have it stolen away?

Edit: I shouldn’t blame all Guardians. Medi Guard seems to be able to burn it down fast enough. :-)

Nope. Just simply state “Please don’t go for beasts, the points are more important”. They still won’t listen but some might. If it gets stolen then you have more of a leg to stand on. Say, “Please don’t go for beast, their thief is just going to steal it every time”. That still most likely won’t work. Newer players and pugs are going to do it regardless because they think wasting 60 seconds on 25 points is worth it, when it’s not.

They switched over to engi just like a lot of players did. I am sure some already played the class before, but some definitely switched. I highly doubt they all said, “Hey we should all start playing Engi. Ok, let’s make it the strongest class before we do”. It just happens to have become really strong and so they switched. As for the ranger deal, besides Grouch that is pretty much all I see. Saw 1 on warrior 2 days ago but he looked like he was just messin round on killshot & probably doesn’t main it.

Speculation artists and conspirators could also say that is why the most gameplay out of the HoTM trailers was given shots/ footage of the Ranger/ Druid Most devs probably didn’t main Rangers before either. I started seeing a LOT of devs on rangers a lot after their burst buffs.

Lol ^ First off champ boxes don’t give minimum rares…………..Secondly, you are misunderstanding the drop rate of rares. Rares have a 1% chance to drop as loot. Increase that by the 100% buff and you now have a 2% chance to drop one. You have 117% MF normally then your chance to get a rare was at 217% higher than the normal drop rate, which comes out to 3.17% chance for a rare out of the bags. You are complaining because you didn’t get anything from barely over a 3% chance? 3% dude….that is not very much chance at all. It is ALWAYS just luck, rares or exotics etc etc.

Maybe you assumed that you had a 117% chance +buff for another 100% and therefore you should be getting one every time? That is not how it works. Its the 217% greater chance than the original drop rate. Which still is not very much.

Forest Strategy: When to Kill Bosses?

in PvP

GhOst.4019

The beasts are secondary mechanics for a reason. You should only kill boss if/ when it will not hurt you in anyway to do so. Capping the points is far more superior.
1:Skip boss at start all together. The person capping home (if no one shows up to contest) should be pushing mid or far depending on the situation. You want to outnumber the fights as much as possible. If you go beast after capping home and they don’t, you now have a 5v4 on mid and your team wipes. It will take you longer than a minute to get the point back (if successful) and loose more than the 25 points you got from beast.
2: If you are wiping the floor you can kill beast. If you find your team is bored for a few minutes because the match is too easy, you can kill beasts.
3: If the match is nearing an end and you need points asap to catch up, you can kill beasts. This would be a last ditch effort to try to gain 25-50 points and then storm a point and take it for a 2 cap.

In general, do not kill at start or anytime during the match really. Including run time to and from beast, you will waste anywhere from 30-60 seconds. Doesn’t sound like much? Well you are leaving your team 4v5 somewhere else on the map and 30 seconds is plenty of time to kill 1 person when you have more players in the fight. By the time you get to the fight 1 is dead, you are still outnumbered and you will continue dying. All situations depend on when and if or if at all, so no one can be really exact.

Your best option is to send 1 far at start instead that is very strong at 1v1. This would be ele or engi. If you can win the fight and take the point or stall the cap for 2 minutes + then you did good. Man on home should then push mid after start cap. You can also send 2 far, 2 mid and your fastest player on home. Home can cap and be at mid almost same time as the other 2. Guys at far can see what their up against and choose the best 1v1 then the other push mid; or kill in 10 seconds then 1 push mid.

Many options and strategies, but none involve the beast

The game is designed so that engineer is superior in pvp in every way.
Pretty sure if a engineer is not best in the esport thing they announce they will nerf everything else. The class i hate the most its not hard to play it just dosen’t fit the genre.

Lol. I agree engineer may be the strongest profession right now, but your conspiracy theory is laughable. Engineer is extremely popular right now not really because of a buff (some might say slick shoes, but a lot of engineers still play elixir S), but because the meta shifted. The rabid build is the same it has always been, but you don’t see many necros and mesmers running around, and the current meta greatly favors the good 1v1 builds. I remember back then, when everyone was saying “every dev plays warrior”, or “every dev plays thief”. No we have the “Every dev plays engineer” bs. I guess that’s part of the game too.

A lot do play Engi, They switched over to the more OP class just like a lot of other players did. In actuality though, in PvP and from the info from my friends in WvW, most devs are seen on Rangers. That is just from what I have seen and my friends in game. Do they main it? Who knows. That is just what we have seen in past few months with our own eyes.

My team has participated most weeks since these tourneys have started and we’d love to see them continue, even without a gold reward. There is also the possibility of a small entry fee to fund a prize pool, just a thought.

That is also a possibility. Charge an entry fee per team (50g?) and then most the money goes to 1st with some to 2nd? A lot of tournaments do this and I am sure most would not care. No prize is cool too, but entrant funded is always an option.

Say 8 teams are in. 50g (10 per player). Can either do a 1st=400, 2nd 100 or 1st = 350, 2nd =100, 3rd =50 (get their money back). Or different options…

I have ascended armor and I don’t PvE…. All it requires is mats and money, which you get in PvP too. I have also got MANY ascended rings and a few weapon/ armor boxes from PvP. Also have gotten 2 precursers from PvP. You don’t need to PvE.

@OP, I am a little confused. PvP technically requires no in game gold to play or be better in terms of gear. If you want to play PvP so badly, why do you even care about money in game? If all you did was PvP you don’t need it and therefore doesn’t matter if it is more lucrative or not. Besides, PvP is very close to just as lucrative as PvE. You get all the same crap from the reward tracks as you would the dungeons. You also get silver (30s I beleive?) per win. You also get money for completing reward track progress along with all the stuff you can sell from the track.

Recently bought a new account and within 3.5 days I had him to LvL 80 in PvP and along with that had 90g, 2 ascended rings and an ascended weapon box. Not sure how much you make in PvE…but that isn’t bad at all IMO….

This game is WAY more balanced than any other MMO or MOBA game you see in ESL……WAY MORE. Yes, it has it flaws but not nearly as bad as others. Guess you haven’t played anything else. GW2 with its flaws is still the best PvP MMO on the market. Build diversity is important. You want us all to have the same skills, no condis and be auto attack robots? Yea, that will make it more ESL for sure….. Players are playing for money in top level environments. Yes, that is what ESL is. Electronic Sports League is just what it sound like. A league of players playing video games for sports in competitions. No matter how big or how small.

ESL is also technically a company. Have you looked at the list of games that are hosted by ESL? Track mania? Racing game tournaments for cash. It is Electronic and a game and therefore is hosted on ESL. Pretty sure GW2 is 100 times more E-sports than a kittening racing game.

Too much time to trade builds :(

Posted by: GhOst.4019

GhOst.4019

There is no option or program available. You just know what build you have, and switch it when you need. Can switch before ever Q’ing or within the 2 minutes before the match starts. There are only 1-2 viable builds per class, so you just need to have the 2 memorized (sometimes 3) to switch. Write it down on paper if you need to and you can switch over in under 30 seconds to an alternate build. Or screen shot the traits in a build editor and print for easy viewing, until you memorize it.

Deathly Claws = ummm huh

in PvP

Posted by: GhOst.4019

GhOst.4019

YEP deathly claws and lich form are so OP that’s why you see so many teams running power necros… oh wait. This is a massive L2P issue. As others have said there are numerous ways for every single class to deal with lich form. In all honestly if you die to a power necro on any of the meta builds its cause you got outplayed. The build has no burst, and eats cc like its a job.

Except lich form (Correct me if I’m wrong) grants stability, that not everyone can remove. Necro’s also have the potential to get upwards of 50k+ Hp through the use of death shroud and lich form, soo.. Yeah, necro’s aren’t in the greatest of spots, they’re certainly not unviable, the reason there are no power builds is because the fear/condition necro is simply that much stronger and still has insane pressure.

Still doesn’t change the fact that whether it’s an Elite or not, having a 7k damage auto attack that can be cast from range with no cooldown is stupidly OP, where’s my tome for my guardian that constantly crits 7k and is an auto attack?

Tome of Wrath can do that, IIRC. Granted, the damage is split between the Burning and direct damage. You don’t see people doing that because the Stability requires 4 points in Virtues instead of a traitline that gives damage, so those hits are either unreliable (no stability) or weaker.

And Renewed Focus is just great all the time.

Correct. While it is rough to trait stability for it, The tome is actually OP as well. Auto attack is an AOE (not single target) that hits for 4-5k + massive burning. The #5 skills hits harder than anything in the game. I have messed with it before when I was just bored and looking for some big deeps. There were 3 enemy on our home, I walked in to make it a 2v3 (or 3v3?) and I popped #5 with all 3 enemies around 80% health and they all got 1 shot. It is a mass AEO and I hit each of them for 12-15k damage. It does kind of suck not having the stability but the auto attacks can’t be dodged or stopped (maybe blocking will work). It is an instant AOE ground target (kind of like marks).

Try it out and have some fun Requires good positioning if you have no Stab up though.

Rampage is just as OP too…and has a lot of CC.

Lol you going to bring those Elites in? Then why don’t we bring plague form elite in…even more useless. Rampage is OP..just because you don’t use it or see it as often doesn’t mean it isn’t. People choose crate for the stun & so they can still use their regular skills. Rampage has an AOE stun that is even better & more CC. Gliph is OP as hell for a zerker build. Just because you are cele, that’s their problem. Gliph hits just as hard as lich.

You don’t even need to LOS the lich…just boon strip it and CC and the whole thing is useless. Or you can just Moa it… Can’t tell me you don’t have a thief, mesmer or necro on your team that can all boon strip (and there are more classes too). All you need to do is get rid of the Stab and it’s GG for the guy in Lich form.

It’s an ELITE……It is suppose to be ELITE. That is what you will be told by devs. It already got massively nerfed and is easily counter-able. If you get Moa’d you might as well be one shot too…. Different class elites serve their purpose to go well together. Some are more CC based and some are more damage based. You can counter them all. They can also ALL be detrimental in a fight where the enemy isn’t paying attention.

Well, I might as well chime in here. I played a "Medi-burn-Might stacking glass cannon Guard with the offensive tome Elite (Unranked don’t worry) because I thought it would be funny as hell. After getting rekt all match, near the end I walked into far making it a 3v3 against 2 DD ele and a Cele engi. All 3 were at 75-80% health, popped open my uber book and Smashed 5 as hard as I could. After the 4? second cast, I dropped them all with the 1 hit (It’s an AOE) 11-13k per player. The whole match and the loss was worth it after that. Sorry teammates, I wanted to try something stupid. At least it was unranked

Ps. Keep in mind this was no where near the Medi build most play. Made it up on my own and had traits all over the place lol (For max damage potential with no regard for my own life. Yes Assassin ammy)

You have stumbled into the greatest guild recruiting post of all time by accident. You should probably stumble out and into one with a million bullet points on why you should join them/ things they require.

Why should you join?

  • You shouldn’t, other guilds have “more” to offer.
  • (Insert 30 more bullet points on attractive things, to lure in unsuspecting players into joining the guild)

What are our requirements?

  • None
  • See First bullet point
  • This bullet point is just to make it look like there are more requirements
  • See Second bullet point

What do we do?

  • PvP (Pretty much everyone)
  • WvW (If you count 3 members?)
  • PvE (Maybe 4 people do this once in a while?)
  • PvP
  • PvP (Added more bullet points to act like the game has more options than it does)

What can I guarantee you?

  • That there is a guild slot open for you
  • That you will see people PvPing
  • The sky is technically every color but blue
  • That I will continue to add useless bullet points because otherwise I wouldn’t have as many as other guild recruiting posts.

What we don’t care about?

  • Everything that every other guild seems to care about. It’s a game, play it however you want.
  • First bullet point summed it up pretty good.

Guild website!

  • Lol..just kidding.
  • What a waste of time
  • No need for one
  • Just play the game

TS3!

  • This we actually have
  • Only people in PvP/ WvW use it really

How big is this awesome guild?!

  • This post has more bullet points than members

How many awesome members are on at a time?! (I like friends!)

  • 7 average during week
  • 12+ weekends
  • I could be making up numbers (Just like bullet points)

Commonly asked questions:

Q: If I want to join, make friends and leave; is that ok?
A: Like I said, I don’t care what you do

Q: Why is there so many bullet points?
A: Why not?

Q: Do I get buffs?!
A: When they are running and if you are repping. You never have to rep but there are buffs that are somewhat consistently running.

Now you might be wondering. How do I join?!

  • Send me a mail in game. Do not PM me as I am usually PvPing and will not answer during a match usually. The whisper then gets lost in all the chat rage. Please leave your account name in the message so I can add/ send invite.

Edit:

  • I wanted to add another bullet point to ensure how awesome we are

Edit Edit:

  • Feel free to leave a post on here as well.

The pitch: I normally don’t randomly recruit people but you seem lost

Guild:
Small guild ~20 that is for people that have been cast out or have no where to go.

What we do:
Most players PvP most of the day. There is a few that do some WvW (different server so doesn’t matter) and a couple that PvE once in a while (the boring stuff). There is always people on to play with in PvP especially on the weekends we tend to have 10+ on all day.

What we don’t do:
Care about what you are doing. You can do/ say whatever you want. No rep requirement whatsoever. No log in requirement.

What I am suppose to pitch you:
No we do not have a website. Are we here to play a game or register on useless sites that no one goes on or updates. Why bother.

What should you expect:
Not much… Is someone going to hit you up every time you log in and ask you to PvP with them…probably not. No one will know you. You gotta be proactive and I am sure a couple in the guild will roll with you.

What can you do with us:
Maybe find at least a couple players that are willing to do certain aspects of the game with you. Want to come in, make friends then leave? Why not, Don’t care. Find a couple or a few you can add to your friends list then make room for another guild slot.

We do have TS but most don’t use it. It’s just whatever, do what you will and good luck

Ranked Arena needs to have a limit...

Simple as a small limit along with a video tutorial. First time entering into PvP and you have a 5 minute video to watch on basic rotation/ objectives. Then add tooltips (that can be turned off) onto their screen. I would suggest using a voice for the video that is as excited as the Chinese in game announcer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4fsZi7cop4

Remove foefire from map choice....

This is actually proving my point.

I wouldn’t necessarly jump to that conclusion. The data could also be explained by the unique lord mechanic which can add 150 to your team’s score. Unfortunately I have no data on how often that happens.

Exactly….a semingly even match (both team right around 350) and BAM someone gets a lord kill. A perfect 50/50 matchup just made a 150 point spread win. Most maps you loose by 150 you say “Wow that was an uneven match”. This map when it happens, most just say “Poop, they killed the Lord, we should have rushed theirs”; and you don’t even think twice that it was uneven matchup when it was 350-350 right before that (plus or minus a little).

Guild Halls, what's the point?

Well, I don’t think they will be exact same thing as GW1. I didn’t play GW1 but did they have a similar thing to the Air Ship? I highly doubt Anet is going to give you full amenities and nullify the airship passes for “less revenue”. If they allow vendors you can almost expect there not to be crafting stations or a mystic forge. Rest of the vendors won’t be a problem for Anet. Just allow me to build a giant statue of myself in there and I will be happy.

Do what I do…

Run out there, pop liche and kill one person so you’re on the scoreboard then /afk in spawn until the match is over.

Eventually this behavior will become so abhorrent people will complain about it on the forums and ANet will realize that they either a.) can’t mix gamemodes into a single queue or b.) need to provide players a way to quickly swap between specs/classes since many classes don’t/can’t work with the same spec in conquest and deathmatch.

Besides the fact that you can’t afk in spawn……….. Put down your macho fingers and reply with something that helps the man out instead of pounding your chest and pooping out lies.

OP, as stated before, just go into hotjoin and grab your dailies. Don’t be like this guy and hinder your team. Thanks

PvP Match Manipulation

Ok, so that’s why they don’t* have passwords on it. Either way it doesn’t make the rank points faster. Secondly these arenas have been around forever. If Anet cared about the outcome of the matches in hotjoin, it would have been fixed long time ago. There are also rules that say players can not be insulting to others. I don’t see them banning 80% of their player base anytime soon either. Everyone has said something insulting at one point or another. On the other hand, they do take racial (ect ect) things very seriously.

How will the expansion affect PvP?

Never said it wasn’t more focused to PvP players, but it will still bring in the WvW players. I said small scale, not medium scale. Roamers are usually only 5-6 players in WvW maps already. This will just give em a place. I can tell you from all mah hardcore WvW friends (that is all they do), they are excited to play Stronghold..me, not so much.

Yes it is PvP oriented and a PvP mode, but it will bring in a portion of the WvW players. Are they going to only play that day and night? No, but they will probably do a few matches a day when their zerg isn’t running.

I don’t think it will kill conquest at all…. Stronghold will bring in a lot of WvWers into the mix. I myself am not interested in the new game mode at all. Will I try it, yes. Will I play it once in a great while, yes. If I wanted to raid strongholds with siege and AI players, I would go to WvW. I think it will bring in a ton of WvW players though looking for a small scale WvW experience.

Pretty sure I can speak for most the veteran PvPers when I say, we didn’t want a game mode that relied on AI & PvE tactics…

So you want a reply from a PvP dev? That is still not a WvW dev….. You won’t get any more satisfaction here besides ridicule for spamming up our forums on non PvP related topics.

I know there is not much info on the matter but they said you will need “to learn the new skills and weapons to defeat the bosses in the new area”. Now, everything else introduced in the new area, is only for the new area. It is very possible that these new “lateral class movements” will not even be for PvP, and only available in the new PvE area.

As for the new class, I too have a feeling it will be either OP or really weak coming into PvP. My feelings are leaning more to the OP AS HELL side. Being able to summon the skills and utilities of legendary creatures with heavy armor. Kind of sounds like a Ele skill bar (F1-F4) to change to the diff legendary skills per legendary. HOPEFULLY it is just the skills are named after some of the legendaries (and do similar things) but they are bound to normal heavy confinements of amount of skills available (2 weapon sets and utils).

^^ Yes, this game is way more balanced due to the only difference in players is the build/ skill lvl. No need to worry about gear in sPvP which is a huge change from the rest of the games out there.

ANet needs to find a way to make PvP not feel like an isolated game mode completely seperate from the rest of GW2 and they need to find a way to at least acknowledge their WvW playerbase exists.

You feel ignored?!?! You got an entire new map?!? That is a hella lot more than sPvP got with stronghold.

As for the rest of what you said….
PvP is just as isolated to the rest as WvW is to the rest and PvE to the rest…. Each players has a specific part of the game that they like the best and mostly that is all they play in their isolated world. Very small portion of the population play more than 1 type. PvE’ers (for some reason) think it is optimal to grind out all the dungeon dailies everyday (Takes over 4 hours). Same thing every day over and over, monsters don’t do anything different and the dungeon doesn’t bring up any additional skill reqs; but they still love it..
