Guild Wars 2

I was hoping they would at least patch it in so that it’s easier for us to tell in PVP who is part of a premade and who isn’t, even who has HoT and doesn’t would be nice to know. I was thinking solo players and users without HoT should render as various vegetables like carrots or potatoes things that are easily farmed to better represent the reality of this awesome system.

Vicky.4563:

Of course match quality is unreal. I’ve never been in a match where eles think they’re roaming 1v1 gods and consistently abandon teamfights to chase squirrels, thieves fail at pulling off a stealth combo and then spend the rest of the match camping shortbow from a ledge, and necros who plop their kitten on one point and spend half the match "guarding it.

And we still manage to win because the opposing team is somehow worse.

If that’s not unreal match quality, I don’t know what is!

At least change the title of the post this is clearly a look at me I am awesome everyone else has no clue post. Misleading others for your own benefit, not really surprised.

Vicky.4563:

YW!

I hope more players come back soon! Queue times are soooo amazing right now! And match quality is unreal!

Match quality is unreal, with all the dregs? Might do better sticking to one story. PVE’ers getting desperate to lower queue times as they realize they might not get their wings in time.

Thanks for letting us know you made it to diamond!

I had a game yesterday on my alt account in sapphire, 5 solo sapphire players versus a 3man stack and a 2 man stack with 3 ruby players and 2 sapphire players contained within. The match played out as expected.

Fact of the matter is, mmos and high speed combat games such as GW2’s system aren’t and will never be balanced around players with inherent disabilities, might sound harsh but that’s just how it is.

Until GW2 turns into a turn based combat system like pokemon, Itilwen will continue to struggle in pvp until her condition gets better.

Fact you are a terrible human being.

He wasn’t even throwing insults. He pretty much stated the facts. The game assumes that u are not onehanded. Simply taking a look at the very basic control setup confirms this.

There is nothing wrong with a game beginning with a standard the developers decide on. If it caters to litterally everybody else with some kind of handicapit becomes a mekitteniwhen is unlucky, But the thing is she is ’’nerfed’’ in her own sense. the fact she even kittening got to saphire onehanded is admirable. The fact she actualy beats some players while playing with one hand bassically is pretty kittening incredible. She does what us players use as smack talk: ie ‘’I can beat you with one hand tied to my back.’’

She does it appearantly. And that is as far as one can go. She made it to saphire with a handicap. And that is something she has to accept. But to have the game cater to somebody who is pretty much not equipped to play the game litterally is simply asking too much. While A-net has thier duties to Ensure to make gameplay enjoyable. It’s also our responsibility as humans cabapable of rational tought and desicion making to accept the consequences. But not only does she seemingly not accept the consequences she even refuses to take advice and make the adjustments.

Or to even take a break. Knowing the stress it causes her. She continues on. Unwilling to accept advice. Like how can u complain about a matchmaking system that simply doesn’t account for onehanded players? It’s akin to a blind person getting angry that he can’t get make it to the top 100 leaderboard in a shooter. It’s absurd.

The customer isn’t Always the Queen in this case. Rather Both are Kings and Queens. We however are lannisters finnancially supporting robert baratheon.

So you are upset that Ithelwen won’t take your sage advice on internet gaming forums? And this somehow makes it ok to slander and dehumanize them because they refuse to bend to your opinion? Sad.

Darknicrofia.2604, has gone out of his way to drag Ithelwen into unrelated posts trying to publicly slander this individual because apparently his feelings were hurt by her posts. It is sad how many come to be apologists for such sleazy behavior. You seem to be awfully bothered by someone having a different opinion than you, it reeks of insecurity. Get some self esteem and some dignity, getting this emotional because someone has a different opinion than you in a videogame forum isn’t healthy as you seem to care so much about. Perhaps take some of your own advice and take a break before getting blinded by your hurt feelings.

Give me a break man. You simply show again how some posters here do not bother to read. No I simply reffered to Dark’s post about how the game simply isn’t build around people with her handicap. It’s a fact and I agree with it. However if u want argue that that in itself is akin to me condoning insulting other posters. Then you should take a good look at yourself. It shows how fragile your mind is. Why the hell should I care about wheter she took my advice or not? It’s as you said an internet gaming forums. U do like to go all pseudo Freud on me eh? Please don’t because u couldn’t be more wrong.

A game simply cannot cater to everybody and thier handicaps. They’re will Always be a demographic left out. Hence the different genres,difficulties and game system(which will affect controle settings). She with her handicap decided to play this game, atleast accept the consequences. She’s also partly responsiable for this fiasco.

Blame the victim mentality, good one. I stand by my statement, you are a crappy human being if you think it’s ok to slander an individual because they disagree with you on a videogame forum. Grow up and stop acting like a toddler that didn’t get his way.

Crowley.8761:

This discussion is hilarious If you don’t want to grind games and lose more than half of them – MAKE A TEAM! It’s seriously not that hard. Just because they let you solo queue doesn’t mean that you should, especially if you have a really whiny personality.

This is just a bad solution to a bad situation. Clubbing pugs like seals with a premade just isn’t fun for either side, it’s as mindless as chest farm in SW. People should have the ability to solo queue without being put at a huge disadvantage.

The medium SPVP reward track breastplate is nice for a non trenchcoat medium option. And for light, I like the aetherblade chest piece as well as the new triumphant WvW chest piece as neither is a skirt/dress. Hope this helps gl!

I really hate that queuing as a duo makes you eligible to be put against 5 man premade. It makes it so people on your team use you as a scape goat if your duo queue causes 3 other solo queue players to get stacked against a 5 man premade. My wife and I used to like to queue together but now its more of a hindrance and more of a headache if we queue together than if we both queue solo. There is enough toxicity in the pvp community as is, I don’t need to paint another target on my back just because I queued with a friend.

All those weird comments like keep the warrior in range…pls the meta build includes longbow that spams firefields and has great pressure over all.
Also when talking about pvp we have on point fights and not 1v1s on beach of forest map

One conditions primarily. Are we gonna make a problem about one friggin condition here? The meta build does mostly burn damage. Nothing a condi cleanse can cure. If u don’t pay attention to the LB then that is you fault.

The thing is many posters have provided viable counters for both melee and ranged version. Warrior is not OP.

Eh saying you should range the warrior is just stupid when you have on point fights while the warrior isnt even full melee. The only node where you can kite warrior is legacy waterfall node and mid nod.

And tbh nobody said sth why warrior isnt slighlty over the top. You just insist it isnt. Highest condition dmg output, best condition management with cleanses and resistance and 800 hp/sec uptime with longbow is imo not balanced.

The condition build is powercreeped.Fact.And I say this as warrior main.

Just stating something as fact doesn’t make it so, it requires something called evidence. That which you can assert with no evidence can be just as easily dismissed with no evidence. The condition build is not powercreeped.Fact.And I say this as a warrior main. Only thing that needs fixing is the bug in my opinion, hey look I added to the conversation without having to make huge unsubstantiated leaps of logic!

Nerf might stacking/generation and stance duration and warriors will be fine. Healing Signet has always been one of the most OP heals as has been Defiant Stance, much like Revenant’s Glint heal.

Warriors do such ridiculous damage because they can might stack so easily and their base numbers on greatsword are ridiculously large.

What other class has a 6.5 sec cd weaponskill that cleaves for 50k+ damage in PvE?

In PvP a warrior with 100b takes off 2/3 of a 2300 toughness condi ranger’s HP. That’s a toughness specced shamans ranger, it’s absurd.

Not even thief backstabs hit that hard, and the warrior has enough CC combos to assure a 100b landing, between headbutt/bull’s charge and mace/shield.

Similarly, warrior hammer autoattacks and skills do pretty high base damage.

Warrior scalings need to be tweaked so warriors need to invest as much into offense and be as vulnerable as a berzerker ele or thief to do the kind of damage a warrior is doing.

Problem is that warrior is essentially a berk thief/ele with double the HP, a bunch of immunity stances, tons of condi clear, and high base weapon damage.

At least ele requires plenty of finesse and might stack rotations to do its damage while a warrior only needs to hit someone with their greatsword and profit off 15+ might stacks.

You have zero clue what youre talking about. So now its both condi and power you have an issue with? I guess a 9s resistance buff on a 60s cd and a 4s MELEE immune only stance on a 60s cd is too op?

15 might stacks just off GS attacks? You do realize you have to go Strength line to even get might on crit which noone takes unless they run vanilla.

Corner, now.

Not just melee attacks.

Come join in the corner, it’s cozy here.

Really try and do some research before posting you clearly have no idea how warriors work and are just on a witch hunt to save your bruised ego. Less emotion, more logic and reason please.

To sum up: they advertised A, they did not provide A, and say they refuse to provide A. Therefore they falsely advertised about A.

Wrong. They did not advertise A, and no reasonable person could argue that they did.

There is a difference between someone selling a box of chocolates that’s half-empty and someone offering to, say, make you a chair and then coming back a while later to apologise and explain that their lathe is broken and they can’t make you a chair right now.

This is the latter, and there is nothing in their advertising that any sane person could argue contradicts that.

You are wrong, as are most white knights as they are charged with emotion and not logic. GW2 is not your girlfriend/wife as much as you want it to be, people have a reason to be upset stop trying to tell them otherwise with blatant BS.

Because if people don’t agree with you they are clearly not Just wrong but illogical too. Meanwhile people who agree with you are clearly logical and not governed by emotion.

Cherry picking there, aren’t we.

I didn’t just write a dissertation telling everyone that they are wrong with zero fact. He self admitted he is a white knight in the very post I responded too. And this is my second post in this thread so thanks for the second half of your paragraph where you delved into fantasy very helpful.

If you want I can make some fantasies up about you as well if you like just let me know!

Snort. Fantasy? So you DIDN’T accuse him of using emotion rather than logic? I imagined that?

You go ahead if you need to, but I quoted precisely what I was referring to, and thus indulged in no fantasy whatsoever. What causes me to shake my heads is when people will attack other people, rather than their arguments, and make cracks like you did, about being emotional rather than logical, with some grand assumption that “If you don’t agree with me, you are emotional, I am logical, you are a white knight/fan boy, and I’m a realist.”

Or something along those lines. Sometimes much ruder. So, yes, I called you out on it. Because you said in your own post precisely what I quoted: no fantasy, no imagination, nada.

Not going to even bother replying to this nonsense as it didn’t sink in the first time when 5 other posters called you on your BS. Have fun in fantasy land.

Extremely disappointed in this decision and just the overall tone of the posts coming from Mike. Wife and I started looking for new games last night, this was more the last straw than anything, and well no one likes feeling deceived. Thanks for the fun while it lasted really hope you rethink this decision.

Yes it stinks already seeing the usual SH farming groups now the just form as 4 and get the same result as last season woohoo!

I’ve just given up on winning matches at this point. I haven’t won a single match in a week, nor been in any position to win one. I just line up to get my three participation trophies and then I’m done for the night. Fun.

Very many people are in the exact same situation. And the exact opposite too. One of my friends can’t stop winning haha. I hate him now -__-

If you group with him what do you think is going to happen?

Unstoppable force meets immovable object, server meltdown imminent.

I will be happy if I can play my thief again without everyone getting all torches and pitchforks on me.

Ferris Bewler.9706:

Hats off to all friends and foes who are showing up to compete. Without you guys T1 is a really lonely place. And to all the BG guys giving IRON a hard time, it appears that they are trying to reel in their trolls on the forums lets show them some respect and try and do the same (can’t believe I’m saying this). They are going through a pretty rough time with their guild leader being ill. Let’s try and show SOME decency to them as that would be a horrible situation for anyone to go through.

I completely agree with this but it needs to be applied on both sides. This in particular is why I found posters such as Shifty so distasteful, obviously the guild didn’t need the added drama he seemed to insist on. Pretty shameful on his part in my opinion, I hope your leader makes a strong recovery and you all bounce back from this rough spot. Sorry for any past snark, glad to see the leadership reining things in you have this nameless pug’s respect =P

Shifty.4985:

Its just a shame that BG still hide behind towers/keeps when they got nothin to loose
#ScaredGate?

It is easy to undermine your own e-thuggery when you are admittedly taking your ball and going home because things didn’t go your way in a videogame. Seriously where are the IRON PR people this kid is just plain sad and making your guild look bad.

OMG SOR WITH ALL THESE QQs.
Cry more. Make more excuses.
Timezone? Russia is like 1~2 hour early than EU?
We in the United States, there is a EST and PST.
They are 3 hours different.
And IRON guys, why didnt ZDs went to lower EU server?
Why didnt IRON went to lower EU server?
SOR had a good ride with IRON when they 1st came to SOR.
WHY cry now? cause SOR cant get easy PPT on EU timezone anymore? <—Very TRUE.

Just last week, SOR was like BG sux, BG no longer T1 server.
More cry. It makes your server even more weaker.

After watching your post history…
Calm down and show me where starscream touched you.

JQ: Talk big, cry hard.

WTT my dignity for easy wins!

Sad day for WvW indeed.

Sure as long as they can only trial on low pop servers and have the ability to guest turned off =)

So only the low population severs should get gold sellers, scammers, trolls? I’m sure that would help these servers to gain people if they have a bad reputation for this. Let me guess, you are not on a low population server so this wouldn’t be your problem.

Calm down Captain Hyperbole. I am sure your low pop realm is getting a ton of players as is and I am sure the only people that would ever trial are bots/hackers/trolls am I right?

I have the opposite problem, I like too many of my classes and feel like I need to lock into one with the way ascended items are time gated. I keep flopping between my mesmer, warrior, and thief. Really don’t like time gated content like the laurels, blech.

Sure as long as they can only trial on low pop servers and have the ability to guest turned off =)

Telekinesis.8312:

mexican cookie, “u” dont have a good understanding of the meta. 3w, 1m, 1g is very good not just because of signet of inspiration to copy boons and reflects but also for timewarp. fastest cof clear had a thief, ranger, mesmer, 2 warriors. fastest lupi clear had 3war, 1mes, 1ele. u see, guardians are the class that are overrated, as u mentioned guardians have defensive utility and the dps doesn’t come close to a warrior, thief, mesmer. a “decent” mesmer deals a lot of damage and it isn’t hard keeping 2-3 phantasms up for most part, u shatter them on boss aoe and bring them back up again and dont forget a mesmer can also give 6-8 stacks of vulnerability consistently. and for a few dungeons without reflects, mesmers can go with a 25% damage increase with mantras and 3% per illusion.

Fastest lupi kill was done by my guild. 2 ele, 1 war, 1 thief, 1 mes. There’s also the Arah and SE P1 records there as well, neither were done with 3W/1M/1G.

Fastest cof p1 is 2 thieves, 1 war, 1 ranger, 1 mesmer, also done by my guild.

Mesmers have bad DPS. Time Warp is simply a bonus that you get for taking a Mesmer. You do not take a Mesmer for Time Warp. You take it for reflects. The 3W/1M synergy is strong for fast might stacking, but it’s not the best DPS by far.

You come up with all these claims, and none of them are accurate at all. You could at least pay attention to what the records are for things. Guardians do more DPS than warriors.

3W/1M/1G is for bad/lazy players. Good teams will run better compositions, which also happen to have more class diversity. (in most cases, anyway). By all means though, if you know more about the current meta feel free to prove me wrong with all those videos of faster kills/runs.

I will say it again. Dungeons currently are:

S: Warrior
A: Guardian, Thief
B: Engineer, Ranger, Ele, Mesmer
C: Necro.

Warrior: Above average DPS, strong might/vuln/fury supply, unique buffs (Empower Allies, banners). You always want at least one warrior.

Guardian/Thief: Strong utility, high DPS. Not that many (if any) unique buffs. Reliable choice for every dungeon, but can drop for alternatives.

Class C professions: These classes are all pretty good, but rely on a niche for them to perform well. Eles have high DPS with FGS/LH, but are situational and extremely weak – team needs to carry them. Mesmers are reflect kings, take this if you need to make a boss nuke itself (lupicus, Malrona). Engineers are kings of vulnerability stacking, also have respectable DPS, Engineers could easily be in ‘B’, but just aren’t very popular currently. Rangers have strong unique buffs, but their DPS is ‘eh’ and their pets are not overly reliable, one hand sword is also pretty situational (their best dps option).

Basically, Rangers/Eles/Mesmers only perform well in ideal situations. Engineers are just a pretty under-explored class, and as such haven’t made much of an impact in the meta.

Necros just don’t do anything special in dungeons, so they’re in class C by themselves.

I am not entirely sure you can really justify calling anyone out using the data from that website, as it seems the data set is quite low. I know I hadn’t heard of that site before, nor would I really care to use it.

I love it here is my synopsis:

Kaide: I didn’t get my way I am taking my ball and going to Dragonbrand, boo hoo!

Blackgate responds: Good riddance:

Dragonbrand responds: Welcome new players and guilds to Dragonbrand!

Meanwhile Euro guilds move to Blackgate and Dragonbrand starts losing.

Dragonbrand response: You cheat only we can have people transfer to us mid match!

Weak and amusing at the same time. Reap what you sow Kaide.

As a Blackgate player I must also commend our leadership I have had nothing but good experiences with them and look forward to playing with them more now that my legendary farm is almost over! =)
