Guild Wars 2

about how ugly the Legendary badge is. Anet, please stop the madness. You have to know by now the ugly Legendary badge is killing the game. Players see it and they be like, “why would I want that circle kitten near my name?”, then never PvP again.

Obligatory Anet doesn’t care about their game, I’m moving to another game if they don’t get on this asap, and I still want tengu.

About kitten time the pet is something to fear.

So it’s a bad thing to make a build for decaping bunkers since killing them takes for godkitten ever? Sure, sure.

Druid staff is already a mediocre weapon. And hardly anyone uses Primal Echoes because 1, Druidic Clarity is practically mandatory in this meta and 2, the daze often overwrites another stronger daze.

I like how the Vial of Salt, another PvP acquired ascended item also had the same problem.

Druids and tempests are hardly the problem with this meta. It’s the god forsaken scrappers and revenants that can live for ages even with a marauder amulet. If people realized that a scrapper or revenant could make the most annoying bunkers in the game, the meta would kill the game.

What if they added this cool condition that would reduce the effects of healing? They could call it poison or something like that. And since it’s a condition it can be removed instead of like… not being removable and not having counter play to it which would be like… dumb.

I have soloQ’d through ruby (the first, and most of the second tier was gotten via a 3-4 man group, but the rest solo). It’s insanely frustrating though. The depression you’ll get from getting 1-3 away and then losing 5-7 times in a row is devastating.

I’m having this exact problem. Was 3 away twice then lost 4 games in a row twice. It’s ridiculous. Is T6 legitimately making it harder to progress or is it just coincidence? Can I not see absurd levels of bullkitten for just one day?

Was it the potato farmer?

Is it just me or is engineer/scrapper feel like the most unresponsive class? I don’t know if it’s because everything has a massive aftercast but skill queueing seems almost broken on them. They require so many buttons to be effective but trying to hit as many buttons on an ele feels so much smoother.

I despise the fact that someone can have a lower MMR than me but have a higher division/tier. It’s like having the little league win a match in baseball and giving them the rewards of a pro league team. They’re both playing under the same system with the same progression. MMR should have more meaning to the league system other than (trying to) creating even matches.

That would not have been an issue if they had reset MMR. Starting with a clean slate allows for a faster “sorting” to occur. The only drawback is even more unbalanced matches near the beginning of the league, lots of 500-0s.

I don’t think this would work since the MMR would balance out faster than you can make it to the correct division. It would also cause some messed up matches at the start of the season. It really should just award more pips to those at a higher MMR.

Matchmaking gone full kitten.

This is how all collections/achievements work now. Having the skill the accomplish them quickly means nothing since everyone is stuck behind time-gated crap to create an illusion of depth.

Bandaid fix:allow 1 class per team
Super bandaid fix:allow one of the same amulet per team
Mega fix: Anet does their job

Lol.

Everything exploited and everything infuriating with leagues is 100% Anets fault. We can’t expect the players to make up for how bad the system is.

Anet wanted to promote more teams by forcing solo queuers to join one and that’s what they did.

The taunt lasts longer than 3 seconds due to vipers.

It’s honestly mental how Anet are waiting till the end of the season to do a balance patch. Like, Anet, nobody’s going to get mad at you for disrupting the meta and doing you’re job. Balance that disgusting class already. Selling more copies of HoT because of how OP they are isn’t worth the infuriation your causing to the PvP community.

Maybe just amber shouldn’t show up. Since everyone and their mother has it. And it’s the only division you can’t drop points or tiers in.

That’s disappointing. Helseth was saying what needed to be said. Just look at these GW2 streamers and it’s easy to see the garbage Anet made of pvp. Literally farming off of solo/duo queuers.

This is why helseth is so awesome. He’s able to identify the problem and call it out exactly how it should be. I said before and I’ll say it again, the pvp in this game is an unfixable mess of trash. It should not be taken seriously other than to get in on Anet’s $400,000 mistake.

First, it doesn’t matter who the players are. The point is that it was over before it started when they matched up premades vs pugs. Second, I expect to get diamond, the same place they’re going. Whether it was in amber or in diamond I’m going to end up fighting them either way.

Solo queuing in this game is a joke. Only reason I kept doing it was becasue I didn’t think Anet could give so little kitten about their own game to have people play like this forever. It’s clear now, though. Anet’s shoving a middle finger to everyone that isn’t willing to find a team. So I’ll just continue to think the pvp in this game is an unfixable mess of trash.

If you think you have a chance vs abjured or spoookie you’re a bigger joke than this games matchmaking.

This game is a joke. I don’t like being forced to lose. I’m going back to fallout.

Wakfu.

Did Anet just confirm no solo-queue with their blogpost today? One day before leagues and no mention of the most important feature missing from PvP. Are the ugly wings suppose to incentivize me to get slaughtered throughout the season?

What does mallyx have to do with stability? It’s their trait in retribution.

Nerf for Druid for sure, since Druids are nerfed even with PvE patches. Obviously, those nurfs would be called “fixes”.

hmmm i dun mind some druid nerfs.
i dun enjoy fighting druids that cannot die.

for some reason i can’t seem to make my druid cannot die.
i’m doing it wrong probably.

Wow logic.

Did daze always used to overwrite itself? Did it ever stack in duration?

I can hold my own against a scrapper. It’s a losing battle but it’s not a slaughter like it would be against a DH; literally sneezing thousands upon thousands of damage on instant cast every few seconds with CC and massive AoE. Utter joke.

The problem with thief is more dragonhunter, chill reaper, and revenant’s (also air overload) fault than the thief. Too much easy mode damage since HoT release. People literally don’t need to pay attention to thieves because whatever they do will end up hurting thieves massively.

TurtleDragon.3108:

Clerics. The druid contributing damage isn’t important to the success of the raid.

This isn’t true. Having more DPS is always a good thing in raids. If a Druid can fulfill it’s role while also dishing out decent DPS then they should. Same with the raid’s tank.

Even tempest is a better bunker and healer.

Bunker chrono is literally 100 times stronger than bunker Druid and people continue to lie about how hard it is to kill Druid. Druid is complete garbage right now. They’re easily countered by warriors, chronos, scrappers, reapers, and dragonhunters. They’re also not even very good team healers. When you see a group of enemy players it’s so easy to kill one while the Druid’s still their because celestial avatar form is so hard to build up, and when it is up they’re too busy using it on themselves. Druids die just by interrupting or poisoning their celestial 4. Meanwhile bunker chrono literally does take 3+ people to kill.

Why are people literally asking Anet to make a boring and lazy CAF?

I discovered how fun Daredevil is… and I’m 98% sure they’re only going to get buffs coming for them. It’s helped me care less about how Druid’s being handled like crap atm.

I would actually agree with this change if they had also adjusted Astral Force generation rates to compensate. No generation off full health allies makes more sense for the class but it was also a massive nerf that they didn’t balance out.

Seems like such little thought it being put into these changes.

Cause ppl were suggesting it. Try reading the thread before breathing… I mean posting.

If you want to talk about clunky, it’s the fact that staff AA could be used to regen AF OOC. To use a Druid to its max potential a player was forced to make use of this mechanic. So yeah, I’d rather just use a heal than have to aim my staff at my pet for a 50% chance at some AF regen.

I disagree with nerfing other astral force regen in order to give us a pointless out of combat autoattack back. If I were to chose between staff autoattack or heal/regen for ooc astral force regen, I’d choose heal/regen. Maybe Anet wanted players to sacrifice a cooldown at the very least when generating astral force which staff autoattack doesn’t need to do.

Also this whole thing is being turned into a much bigger deal than it is. “So clunky… The only weapon that can’t autoattack.” Blah blah blah. Nothing really changed, calm yourself.

In all honesty, this was a pointless change. This was intended to prevent Druids from gaining Astral Force out of combat but there are a myriad of other ways to do it anyway, now including regen (Fern Hound/traited shouts).

I’m not one to give a crap about spamming auto-attacks, especially this one since they added an ugly submarine soundfx to it, but yeah.

PS: Give Fern Hound some kitten Healing Power.

I blame the game. Camera should work like it did in GW1. Also the contrast between player character, skill effects, and the environment need to be greater.

I think charr can tell the difference between gliding and falling to their death.

There is no problem with Druid CC. They aren’t able to do massive damage like a DH can while maintaining such high defense. Speccing into Marksmanship for MoC is already a dangerous thing to do. Their defense becomes their ability to CC and without that they have no defense at all. Stability alone can screw them over.

Dragonhunter CC has to be one of the most annoying things in this game. Getting tossed around like a pin ball while they do thousands of damage with a side of endless free dazes, because using a skill while locked in a 180 radius cage would be so sinful. Literally punished for trying to dodge with a cute little fall on the butt animation.

Solo quers are going to be crops for these teams indeed, hell, it’s happening in the CURRENT system!

This. Pug farming already does happen. Leagues is just going to promote it; Make it the only experience pugs have. Oh, but they tried their best so free pips for everyone. Yay!

This is the biggest joke of a conversation I ever been apart off.

So core Tyria just suddenly doesn’t exist for you people anymore? Is it HoT or nothing? Did fractals force 50+? Did dungeons get deleted?

The game was already one sided. The expansion helped the other. That doesn’t mean that the whole game was suddenly flipped over.

Nothing was changed, though. It was added upon. It’s called an EXPANSION.

Stop being so mad the entirety of the game isn’t catering to one specific group of people.

The problem with GW2 was that literally the whole core game was too casual. The second they do something to fix that people start crying.

yes.
