It counts as a loss on your rating. It will start counting as a loss by the next patch. April 30th at the latest.
Yeah, but that doesn’t discourage players from leaving if they see a losing match (that can actually be turned around). Something additional to that one loss needs to be done.
they need to set it up like dota where if you leave a match or dc you have 5 min to get back in or risk a penalty of low priority match que and lose out on the ability to gain rank glory and items

14) This is a definite must for the future of the game. It is planned. It will come in time. This is a feature owned by the PvP team.
Make sure you sell templates for gems so that pvp can make some profit pvp needs to be more profitable
more money means more pvp content

the way dota2 does it they give you a penalty of low match making so you get low priority on que and you also lose out on the ability of getting rank and items after matches maybe anet could introduce this method

You can`t 1V1 a really good Bunker player in a reasonable amount of time even with HgH. Fortunately players are bad and stand in grenade spam, dodge roll spam pointless stuff and then get hit by blowtorch.
I`ve seen Ostricheggs get outlasted and get knocked off node (and decapped) by 1 Ele (Zerrex/xerrex?whatever).
Most people play terrible as always. So the QQ will continue.
I played vs 5 Guards the other day (suffice to say we won that but not because i killed all dem guards so fast..) and the retaliation damage of just 1 nade throw is massive.
yeah standing in that grenade spam those bad players standing in a little circle due to the game mode we call conquest they should L2P honestly
seriously though HGH is pretty op right now i have nothing against the build personally its a fun spec but when teams of bad are getting carried due to them stacking 2-3 of them its just plain absurd, forcing you stack classes that counter them like necro’s, mesmers etc…

First Offense- One hour
Second Offense- Two hours
Third Offense- Three hours
and so forthMake it reset every 24 hours.
Also for the bad ISP argument. If you dc or lag out, just make it back before the game ends and it doesn’t count penalty.
And if I DC at 490-450? Any system that gives that kind of penalty to innocent people is never going to be implemented. Ever. Any dev that would even suggest that would soon find himself out of a job.
that’s why your given a time limit to get back into the game or risk penalty thats how lol and dota does it

adjusting numbers is the laziest way you could possibly balance the game.
I see it as being either completely worthless (ie. 1-3% damage per boon) or turns out to be like evasive arcana or hgh to where every build is required to focus around that one trait

hey Anet I keep hearing about warriors getting something called boon hate will that be enough to make warriors not free kills? how does it work?
seriously what else does Anet have planed so warriors are not punching bag/condi pin cushion/rally bait in tpvp
cuz it seems like no matter what build i play i still have the same short commings
which is getting completely countered by blindness and snare/immobilize and lack of condi removal/healing and having no reliable group utility other than war-banner
so you guys gotta have something big planed for warriors right?

You should put ALL SPvP matters as top priority, because if you want GW2 to have a feature, you must do it. Otherwise it will die very soon. Everyone is saying that, because it is sooooo obvious.
I do not doubt you’re working, but you are working slow with wrong priorities. Wake up.Working on every PvP feature we want concurrently is obviously not feasible. Everything must have a different priority. Dueling is a feature that could happen anywhere in the game, and could be picked up by a team other than the sPvP team. As far as our team’s priorities go, dueling is certainly not above custom arenas, spectators, shout casting, split queues, etc. I know everyone may want a specific feature first like dueling, and it sucks we can’t please everybody at once, but that’s the priority we’re working with.
sry i understand that you guys try and get done what you can when you can with the amount of resources you have, but I’m not buying it, this is a symptom not the cause of slow development.
THE REAL ISSUE is you guys are not getting the support you need to make spvp more developed and fun due to your company lack of interest in pvp and its full focus on pve
the reason for this is because Anet finds pve more profitable so pvp will always get the back burner. that’s just business, if your pvp team ever wants the support it needs and deserves (and you guys really deserve it, its not fair honestly). then you must first find a way to make pvp more profitable and financially viable so that your company has more incentive to develop pvp and get content out. do this then worry about content and game modes.
and honestly in my opinion custom servers could make some money but i think there are much better ways of making money when marketing towards pvp.
like templates…. omg please sell templates already id buy those for each of my characters.

1) You can obviously have it without a healer.
2) Even games people consider to be DM have tons of secondary objectives (Quake 3, counter strike, Starcraft, etc.)
3) Objective based games tend to be both more total noob friendly AND more esport observer friendly as players/watchers can go/look at where the action will likely be.Jon
sweet you got the idea, now just make some of these game modes now before your playerbase drops out
on top of payload, attack/defend, capture the flag, king of the hill, odd ball, arena, and MOBA

If you don’t like HGH engy play a immune to conditions under 25% with elixir S to turn conditions into boons.
Also when people ranged attack and AOE you, it only works when your defending a node, if your attacking a node it wont have any effect because they cant create distance or you just wait for the AOE to end.
This post seems like a whiny thread about people who play bunker or defend nodes and getting wooped doing so.

AOE in this game needs serious addressing as soon as possible
when your up against a team that has a Mesmer shattering on top of 3 dragon tooths and an engi getting 24 stacks of might and nearly one shotting people by stacking on them with grenades then something is seriously wrong here
given we did not get completely smashed
all it really amounted up to was class stacking
is this the meta? can people consider this balanced? whats the counter?
i sure hope not because id really like it if i was allowed to play the class i want in pvp .not the ones that are flavor of the month

Let me get this right.
You want to remove the only map that is not a complete no brainer designed for zerger teams from competitive pvp.
In other words the only map that requires a little bit of strategy and tactics should not be allowed to influence the ranking of players?
I do agree how ever that elementals using ride the lightning should drop the orb, just as other classes do when they try to make short cuts.
Thief stealthing for instance.
Thief shadow stepping
Mesmer portaling
Mesmer stealthing
Mesmer teleportingThis ability does give elementals an unfair advantage and need to be addressed.
its not balanced due to orb because of how some ability’s work with orb that is basically a free orb capture this causes cheesy comps of people stacking certain builds and classes just to win
the orb needs to disable utility’s and give you a set of ability’s when holding the orb
putting importance on your team defending the orb holder
but Anet does not want to do that they say it takes the player out of there class
and i say it already does that when the map alone pigeon holes you into certain comps and builds
so they need to nerf ability’s giving orb holder’s a greater advantage or change the orb altogether

It is legitly overpowered at the skill cap. However, the skill floor and skill cap in an HgH build are extremely high, arguably the highest in the game.
It is the only build to have the hardest and most reliably used skill shot. There is no comparison to the punishment one experiences when you miss a grenade. It is the central aspect of the build and piggybacks on its ability to deal both physical and condition damage via might stacks. It’s also the only class in the game that is solely reactionary. Very, very rarely do engineers actually determine the outcome of a fight based upon their abilities and forcing their opponents to react to it. The engineer is the one reacting themselves by nature of the class and build.
The simple fact of the matter is that it IS a very strong build and DOES need to be nerfed, but people need to understand that it is not a d/d elementalist. There are not five players in the entire world who can land grenades reliably and effectively play HgH at a decent skill level in tourneys.
As far as how to nerf it? That’s another story. Personally I think that nerfs to on swap sigils and might duration runes are the best way to go. Nade kit is the only thing in the entire game that fully takes advantage of might both via physical damage and condi damage. The insane damage of grenades needs to stay just because of its nature as the hardest skill shot in the game, but the insane-er damage of grenades with massive amounts of might stacks needs to go.
Maybe reduce the effect of on-swap sigils on engineers and eles? We can make the best of them because of how we operate with our “swaps”. We only need one sigil to make it work.
Also, burning is the hardest hitting condi in the game and engis are the only class that has a viable condi build that can reliably take advantage of its power. Most other classes with access to burning do not have a wide variety of other conditions to cover it.
personally i think HGH engi is fine strong but not overpowered no reason to over think it or explain it people know. what makes them a problem in tpvp is the game mode we call conquest, it hard holding points with 2 HGH engis spamming grenades on point
recently lost to a team running 2 bunker guards and 2 HGH engis and a mesmer running repair kit on portal
cheesy and annoying but i wouldn’t say op we held our own
now where the real problem with engis does not come from the HGH build it comes from there overwhelming amount of useless utilities. why bring battering ram? when i get more cc using kits! turrents? pshhhhhh please.. too many skills not finding a place anywhere for the engi.

soldiers amulet if you want more defense
but mainly knights with bezerk jewel for the crit and extra damage.
this is a cc build like the others above that is more focused on mobility and condi removal but you still cant solo with this build its an op group fight build so go out of your way to assist and find group fights.

the devs who post in the pvp forum care a lot about pvp. but the rest of anet does not
I’m sure that’s not true
i think it has more to do with the people who coordinate project management and the people who coordinate them (the higher ups and the investors) they may be more interested in doing certain aspects of the game more but are set on specific tasks
I’ve seen every state of the game J. sharp and his crew have my support to keep doing what there doing, i just wish they had more support. if i had a degree in game design I’d make there goals come quicker myself

but don’t you think that’s a bit ironic/hypocritical on how they advertised pvp before GW2 came out stating things like E-Sports etc… then present day look at pvp now then we look back at what was said.
Someone did what they had to do to increase sales.
I don’t know how much money anet really makes from the gemstore, but there’s no question that initial sales is the easiest thing to present to investors as a measure of success.
and I don’t believe there is anything wrong with that one bit,
but Anet should of been a bit more weary imo, i think they should of came out with some of that stuff in pvp sooner because it could of gained them some more total net profit from the pvp player base in the long run when you have a happy player base of both pve and pvp.
And before says my build doesn’t work, when Ele’s get nerfed it will be -Schwahrheit
ANet needs to learn from CoD series. They mastered the e-sports over the years.
the point I was getting at was not really E-sports just past statements reflecting on current pvp. let E-sports be a different thread
lets stay on subject with pve vs pvp from a financial stand point
CoD is a half-decent shooter but GW2 is not a shooter
but from business standpoint not going to say Anet could learn but find the Infinity ward v.s Activision scandal that happened awhile back interesting
And before says my build doesn’t work, when Ele’s get nerfed it will be -Schwahrheit
You’re right when you talk about the fact that anet didn’t really give pvp a chance in gw2, but I’ll try to explain why.
Flashback to gw1, anet had two world championships and most of the internet thought that gw1 was pvp only. Mild hyperbole, but the point still stands that anet was proudly commenting on the fact that they were fighting that image of being a pvp only game during every interview. There were even rumors that anet had turned down a sponsorship from logitech to hold lan tournaments I think.
The rumors, true or not, don’t really matter. The point is that at some point they decided to stop being a pvp game, stop having world championships and exciting seasons, and establish an image as a pve game. We don’t have fiscal reports for each stage of the game’s life, but it’s not really relevant either.
but don’t you think that’s a bit ironic/hypocritical on how they advertised pvp before GW2 came out stating things like E-Sports etc… then present day look at pvp now then we look back at what was said. sure nothing was promised just stated and Anet likes to give "when its ready " and “iceberg” statements. but at the end of the day people can see its just a small bandaid to cover standard PR.
I still have faith though they just need to focus a little bit on pvp.
put one content deposit in the pvp piggy bank everytime they decide make a stop at the pve tresuary
And before says my build doesn’t work, when Ele’s get nerfed it will be -Schwahrheit
Many people on the spvp forums like to state how they think all of Anet’s resources are being poured into pve because its player base is larger and more profitable, which is the main reason spvp has been so stagnate since release.
In my own opinion i do not believe this is true, i think it has more to do with Anet’s decision to support one more than the other at release and not give pvp the chance to become profitable or attempt to market more towards pvp players.
Anet: how do you know pvp will be profitable?
we don’t and cant until we can make some small marketing tests with the cash shop that focuses on pvp oriented items. Data! you guys should gather some info off the community and find what would sell the best for pvp.
Anet: the population is to small to be financially viable?
-when you don’t give something a chance in the first place and let it collect dust yeah people are going to get bored and leave so there is no one to sell anything too i would highly recommend putting more content out there and make an event like the events you come out with for pve that give incentives to attract new and veteran players back to spvp. for example new skins that players can use pve and pvp, like the april 1st event, or sell gear for glory based off of rating.
my advice- there are plenty of F2P pvp games out there that make tons of money. Anet had a niche of one of the best mmo combat systems on the market.
and now its being focused on pre-scripted boss fights
personally why kill internet dragons when I can kill people who kill dragons.
pvp is just more engaging especially when fighting other human beings.
get more pvp content out there and start selling pvp specific items like templates and perma banners and other cool stuff and I’m fairly sure pvp would start raking it in.
in short the answer is not the pve player-base is bigger, its a question of why they did not give pvp more of a chance?
I ask anyone who post in this thread to give there opionion on what they think then come up with one idea that Anet could use for pvp in there cash shop.
And before says my build doesn’t work, when Ele’s get nerfed it will be -Schwahrheit
1- game modes
2-orb in spirits has issues
3-class balance
4.better rewards that are based off your rating
5-and has Anet every thought of making spvp more profitable by marketing more towards pvp’ers like more skins/cosmetics or bringing Zaishen keys back or best of all selling templates! or community made content.

when you can have a bunker guardian troll bubble/circle the stairs
and necros holding the orb in plague form
and these are just a few things I’ve seen other team setups that might be considered cheap as well but i wont get into every one
I think the best coarse of action for this is to make it so there are back routes or other ways to get to the side points or make the distance of the side points from orb longer

I think most if not all thier resources are on player retention now. PVE is not only larger but also more profitable. The gem store is thier golden goose and pvpers don’t bring in any money.
I think the e-sport thing is completely dead.
i believe that Anet is fully to blame for this though because they don’t target or market for pvp players that much to begin with
they could come up with tons of things to sell in the cash shop for mist players

yeah I would have no problem with schwar just wish he would be more subtle and show a pinch of professionalism in his post but meh.
and on the subject of warrior mobility, I completely agree they need a baseline ability
they should add a f2 ability, just a simple “mild” distance charge targeted or none
and to keep it balanced it should cost adrenaline so that you have to choose between damage or mobility.

i’m beating a dead horse here but going to link a video that explains this core issue
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRBcjsOt0_gBut If we watch the <<Balancing for Skill >> : http://extra-credits.net/episodes/balancing-for-skill/
we can understand that they deliberty have some OP character from the start , in order the medium-low skilled players have a chance vs veterans players . And with no matchmaking from the start , the low skilled players will get rolfstomp by Pros all the time , but in the same time will motivate to get better and try more classes , and the meta would progress faster .But they didnt calculate the ppl can get emotional attachment with their character :P
I wished only for PvP all cds-resources are reduced to 20% , with reduced damage-healing , without effecting the PvE . More mortal combat combos and more fun for the victim too
(in hot joins we dont know how much tough or power the enemy have … the gear could look more shiny… Even if they failed to progress , they could use them as viewers )
there is merit in what you say but I have to disagree with that video on thieves and my reason why is if thieves are suppose to be the noobtubes off of cod then where does that leave the class as a whole in the long run.
because many players feel that in order to be competitive all you can play is noobtube (backstab or dagger/pistol) style builds.
also this sword is double edged you have to keep into account in how this might alienate other or new players from pvping because they do not like being the victim of getting jibbed in a matter of seconds

CC and plenty of defense- this build can land a 6+ sec stun chain and is given all the crit/damage it will ever need through stuns and imobilizes wich also make great gap closers.

So I’m the troll when I’m simply saying don’t bait people into thinking FGJ is viable as a glass cannon GS in PvP ?
Understand that this class lacks anyone giving out legit PvP guides, that’s why people think Warriors are bad. Saying “You should use FGJ in PvP” and then complain about how HB is hard to land because “I get CC’d when I try to land Frenzy HB so Warrior is under-powered and should be over-buffed” is just as silly as what I do to be honest.
your focusing to much on the subject of warriors rather than how your conveying it in such a troll manner
you call op’s thread just flat out wrong then sanction him for doing so and off of what? your own subjective opinions
sure you can have opinions but just try to explain them in a constructive but disagreeing way.
when you believe your own idea’s or thought’s are held higher or more important than others that so should everyone else’s that is just called fascism
“any who may wish profit himself alone from the knowledge given him, rather than serve others through the knowledge he has gained from learning, is betraying knowledge and rendering it worthless” -Haile Selassie
sand is in no wrong for trying to give a small community of mist players a build he thought was worthy of play, he was baiting no one.
so if you think that your way of doing it is better then here’s a thought
GO MAKE YOUR OWN THREAD if you think your version of warrior is whats best for the community.

nope necro is fine they are pretty balanced in my opinion they are strong in some situations and weak in others and this is while keeping player skill in mind.

they really do need to do something to prevent future imbalances from gear creep i think they will get around it eventually but atm the devs said they are focusing on fixing class bugs above all else in the next few patches while slipping in some new content here and there like the new map were getting in spvp
but i think they said biggest focus down the road for world3 was introducing a ranking system and better rewards for incentives to play
using only an amulet kind of goes against what Anet wanted to achieve in world3 which is to introduce a pvp playing field with “some” gear dependency
making it feel more mixed with pve so you get a sense of building your character up.

really nice builds
but like cruuk I also play a daze lock style build and I do well in team fights
but then again I don’t roam on my own like I see cruuk usually do
I try and find group fights.
but I have to disagree with it being a selfish build
I find it very supportive to other team mates trying to burn down a target
locking a enemy out of there character seems really effective and supportive to me so I kinda view it as a support dps build.
my take on daze lock thief

I switch out the 8th skill for whatever enemy composition I’m fighting against so I use quickness or trip wire etc… sometimes.
hate it, love it, judge it I don’t mind I like to play these builds and the reason why is because Anet needs to make other thief builds more viable because I hate being pigeon holed into glass cannon builds to feel effective there never feels like any variety with the thief class.

I think as small as the pvp system is in the mists a solo que would be fine
make it:
Paids
Free Tournaments
Solo Tournaments
I think they can have these 3 modes without having to split there player base

I wont argue that this game needs better incentives it really does and I also wont argue that this game needs more options and game modes that cater and attract more casual players, because that’s what spvp needs MORE people.
this is why games like LOL are so popular, easy to play hard to master and F2P so its a casual players gold mine while still able to cater to the hardcore and appeal to the e-sport crowd
Anet does not have this niche . at least not yet they don’t, so they need to work on attracting more players to pvp before any thing else atm and a good start would be making more game modes and making your spvp more appealing to new players because making the spvp just around a small group of players is bad for business.

giving boon removal to classes with poor pvp representation and performance might be a good idea

Even when they get me down to zero hp I don’t go down.

Deathmatch mode in GW2 would be bad idea at its current state. The burst damage is simply way too high and there are no dedicated healers to counter the spike damage. Imagine if 3 enemy players attack on target and all of them have fast burst. They are using voice chat. The character is dead in less than 0.5 seconds. That is faster than human reaction time. Not even time to dodge roll!
I would argue this already happens in the current meta

Lower downed health a smidg say 10% or 15%. balance downed state ability’s nerf strong ones or just buff the weak ones, take a look at the rally system for what it is then ask is it too strong or just fine? should it be there at all? or just toned down. then pvp should be a bit better
