Guild Wars 2

i agree, they are useless, but just because ure useless doesnt mean u should have godmode.

i can have godmode too just by sitting in my spawn! holy! op! nerf pls

Zorby.8236:

I agree, WvW and PvP are two different things, any comparison is pointless.

Can I get glory from PvE then? I don’t like PvP that much but I wanna look good and be of high rank when I’m there. I should be able to play what I like and have everything in this game, buhuu ;_;

And yes, everyone else can get to lvl 80, so why can’t you?

Because i have better things to do than sit on this game for 72 hours straight milking cows for some farmer

Everyone else can get level 80 for just doing what they like, why shouldnt i be able to? also wvw is not real pvp and its certainly not fun

Everything in this game gives you experience to level up your pvp character… except the 1 thing that i find fun to play so far – spvp. Really want to play those cool level 80 dungeons but there no way im grinding to level 80 because level 1-20 was more boring than waiting on an airplane with no electronics. Please! Soon! Been playing since release and my main is level 22!

Khyras.8021:

Im not saying its the same thing.Im saying when channeling i should be able to hold right mouse button and follow his movement while standing still and atm i cant do that because you can only turn when moving, while on the other hand some skills cause you to face your opponent without needing to right mb turn like thief dagger skills 2 and 3.

Then just keep moving?

Staff is meant to be aoe… dont like it? Switch to something else. Not like we dont have 4 other single target dps choices.

Perhaps you should understand the concept of skirmisher, defender and assualter better before you post something like this.

I swear anet just decided one night, hey lets just take all of the good things out of gw1 and call it a new game – gw2. So many good suggestions on the forums like this that just get ignored.

Honestly getting xp/gold in pvp would be great, because theres no way im going to get to level 80 without it. Been playing since betas and i cant stand the boring grind fest that is pve, my main is level 21. I just want to be level 80 so i can do the high level dungeons with my guild, i dont give 2 kitten about helping farmer jo with his chickens and cows.

Play ALL of the classes first, and learn them all. Then, chose which one you like best, and you’re on your way to stardom. You will already have an edge because you know what everyone else has… Knowing your enemy is very important in this game.

With at least 50 combat affecting bugs per profession they better be working their kitten off… For real. Look at the ele bug thread, lol

How to win d/d 1v1s :
1. Pop shocking aura and stand next to the player
2. Spam lightning whip
3. ???
4. Profit

Its so sad that anet will completely ignore this thread and yet its the best idea ive seen on these forums yet. Implement /rank and chests that have a small chance to give something super rare…

As far as i know all servers are pretty dead as far as the mists goes. Your best bet to find some people to play tournaments with is to play some free tournies, as painful as it is, and meet people that are good there. That, or join a guild.

That would be great… it would also be great if they affected the rate at which you gain glory rank points… Or at least change the text that pops up when you hover over your rank to say “rank points” instead of “glory points”… very misleading.

You might play the game for fun, but not everyone does, just sayin. I happen to play it to pick up chicks and im sure theres a sizable chunk of people playing it for e-fame (commentators ring a bell)

Let them… i think the 5 points isnt as bad as the time they waste switching chars

I know theres a thread on guru on what you get when u craft with different level tokens but i dont know about the gear. You can check what all the gear looks like at the pvp locker though.

No? Rank 40 gear is obviously better looking… I dont get it. Why would they let you have the coolest gear at rank 10?

I just hope the new spvp map isnt another raid on the capricorn…

… We all know that they havent been balanced yet.. theyre working on it. Nov 15 is when the patch will come out…

I dont get it… How are mesmers like hamstorm? Hamstring + Firestorm = Mesmer Clones?

I wish i could replay gw1 again but theres nobody there… its like a ghost town.

And we really do need more pvp gametypes, not maps.

Where did you hear info about the nov 15th build? Last time i checked there was an entire new pvp map being introduced as well as plenty of other things.

Im Too Godlike.5629:

I had just typed like a page about this and then the forum glitched out and my entire page was lost so ill just make this short and sweet.

Money. Anet spends less money maintaining fewer servers with more people. They give us bs reasons but we all know what its really for. There’s no other explanation unless the person directing this happens to have some sort of mental disorder and everyone else that watches it happen is screwed up just the same.

But they don’t have to spend more money. There are already too many empty servers and 2v2 populated servers, so they don’t even have to use more servers, to make 5v5 work. Just put in 5v5 matches instead of 8v8, and watch the half empty servers fill out.

The ironic thing is also that no one even likes to play 8v8. Players get into sPvP because they want/expect to play a structured game, not a zerg fest.

Then why wouldnt they make half the servers 10 man? I dont think ANet is THAT bad that they wouldnt do that.

Shortbow rangers with traps are one of the best classes in the game even at melee range.. There’s plenty of things you can do from range and ill list a few just to show you… Elementalist with staff/scepter, ranger with short and longbow, thief shortbow, warrior rifle, engineer, necromancer scepter, guardian with scepter, mesmer with whatever. All of which can be effective with the right trait setup…

Well “Ganja Farma”, you have some okay points here but nothing that everyone didnt already know.
PS : A tldr would be great.

The game is very unpolished, and well unfinished as far as tooltips go. Ive learned not to even look at them as 90% of them are wrong and this is a numbers game…

You can always reset your trait points so dont worry about choosing the wrong thing. As for what you want to put them into.. at level 25 i had 10 in arcane and 5 in air, just because i love attunement swapping and the fire / earth trait lines are useless. The water is okay but it doesnt help much in pve where u just want things to die quickly.

Its a tree. not a dragon. a tree. just saying.

honestly google is your friend.. dont understand why we have to keep posting this

http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/55030-pvp-mystic-forge-recipes/

Its an issue of balance. All weapons should be balanced equally, but they arent at all.

Biggest thing i got from this half hour :
They are in the works of deciding if spvp should give pve xp. If they decided to go through with giving some experience for spvp that would be GREAT, because ive been playing since betas and my highest leveled character is level 22. Its just too grindy doing pve hearts and stuff, all i want to do is do the dungeons and end game stuff.

Yeah i guess 90% of the playerbase suggesting the same thing isnt enough to make them change it. Bummer.

Clearly some people like 8v8 and some people like 5v5, so ive come up with an ingenious plan to make everyone happy.
Make half the servers 5v5. 80% of the servers arent being used at all so…

Spec into traps and you are actually an amazing point defender as a ranger…

All classes have at least one thing they excel at in tpvp, its just that those things are less desirable in the current meta.

GW1 pvp will go untouched as the best pvp ever. Its too bad that game is completely dead.

2. Its simply unfair in the current system where premades always have the edge over you. Free tourny rewards could be turned into the solo/duo queue rewards and paid rewards/costs would become the 5 man premades. However another tournament or way lower ticket costs would be needed because people dont have unlimited tickets.

There are plenty of solutions to this problem we can only hope that anet figures out one of them. Tired of getting roflstomped with pug groups by teams that should be in paid.

They should create a new tournament system just for solo/duo queue but its not like they care what their playerbase thinks.

Great, too bad its about 2 months late. I cant wait to see the new balances tho! Should be a good one!

Elementalists will almost always have support for their teammates due to the massive amount of buffs they put on their mates with the mandatory trait in the arcana line. They can also throw out huge amounts of healing and condition removal. With d/d they are extremely mobile and tanky to top it off if you know how to switch weapons before games. The only department they are really lacking on is burst damage, under best circumstances you will do about 8k on a burst. But the steady damage is nice.

So yeah, if you are looking for a jack of all trades profession, take to the elementalist.

Yeah custom servers are coming but they cost money… well, probably cost gems but yea.

1. You cant trade pvp items

2. Theres a pvp locker where you can observe the weapons if thats what u want.

@psy go take a look at the elementalist bug thread… we have 20+ broken traits and 80+ issues with skills.

And eles are not nerfed to the ground, but the only viable build is the bunker ele.

Trying to suggest things to anet is like talking to a brick wall, just sayin.

No.. it heals you too.

No, that would be bad. They could do the same thing they did with the elementalists during beta. They overnerfed them wayy to hard. Now they need additional buffs and/or bug fixes. Slow and steady is the way to go.

Pvp is going to get old really fast compared to gw1 because the lack of possible combinations… In gw1 there would be thousands of builds per profession.. in this game, theres like 2, maybe 3. And once you get tired of them all… then what?

How dare you compare this to gw1 heroes ascent, that was the best pvp ever made in the universe. ever. Heroes ascent died because guild wars 1 died, not because pvp died. With less people there, people were tired of taking hours to form a group, so every1 except guild teams stopped doing it all together.
