Loving it. Almost always score over 200 in pugs. Yah, I’m squishy but good friggin luck catching me
Havnt done as bg in awhile. Finally decided to take a break today and have a little fun. Not. Sure are a lot of thieves and mesmers and if you add in warriors it prolly makes up 90% of the teams. I will continue to play my Ele because I have faith in this companies commitment to balance but it sure sucks the fun out doesnt it? Kind of reminds me of SWtoR pvp where half the classes were just fodder for the chosen few. Man, its lonely being an Ele when you pug. In 9-10 matches I was the only one. Any eta on the first major patch?
They need to collect data on the classes and balance before Arena. As is now half the classes stand a snow balls chance in hell. I personally am willing to wait til the first major patch for arena if it means ALL classes are viable. Anyone remember RMP in WoW. I would prefer that to not be the case in GW2. Pandas? Now THAT makes me chuckle. I’d rather slide side saddle down a ten foot razor blade into a pool of alcohol than ever play WoW again.
Or get a lap dance from an overweight stripper with 2 cheese graters strapped to her butt cheeks.

ele blows 2. My first 2 toons were ele and necro and both were a disappointment. I like casters so looks like I’ll be a mesmer. Hopefully it doesnt get nerfed thus leaving us zero viable casters. So far the play what you want how you want isnt working out so well is it?
Agreed. I also rolled ele to start then necro because I like casters but both have been a huge disappointment. Ah well, mesmers cool so hopefully it doesnt get nerfed leaving us with no viable casters.
Any one notice that the recent QQ threads are:
Plx nerf thieves and <insert any other class>? Everyone pretty much agrees on thieves, well except bad thieves.
The most common defense for an OP class is “game isn’t designed for 1v1s” and “L2P”. L2P is kinda funny, with thieves its: “if you use your class to its optimal potential and learn to dodge you have a chance against my 1-2 button mashing skilless play style.”
By far the most common thing in MMO’s upon release is a ton of players who understand very little about classes jumping on one or two classes demanding nerfs. Then when those are nerfed, they start complaining about different classes that were apparently fine before but now are magically out of balance.
The end result is either the nerfs screw the game up and people leave end masse or the devs have to constantly rotate the fotm classes so everyone gets a chance in the sun.
The best thing to do is wait until the playerbase figures the game out before making changes.
So as a business do you cater to the tons or the leet few? There in is the million dollar question. Just get rid of any classes ability to destroy another in a few seconds and I tell you the truth it will make a whole lotta people happy. As is now earth eli roots thief hits 2 pistol whips and thats it. Its actually 1 class doing all that damage. Fights are getting shorter and shorter as people figure out the jibb combos. In beta fights lasted longer and it was a lot more fun.
I apologize for my comments. Years of trolling in WoW is a bad habit to break. Pretty much the game is good theres just a few balance issues was all I was trying to say. If you took that as whining my condolences. If they dont balance it I’ll just roll one of said classes. No big deal.
Just so you know, warrior is outclassed in tpvp, is one of the worst 1v1 classes, and hardly uses “button mashing”. Against real competition, (pro tip: not in spvp) you will get cc’d, dodged, and if you do manage to land bull rush anyone with stability or invulnerability still counters it. It actually takes a lot of skill to land it against good players. Ive played as and against both classes and I have no problem countering them. Pretty sad how you say you’ve played every mmo over the past 20 years, you sound like a whining teenage girl. Good players adapt and learn counters, bad players come to the forums and cry, get better or go back to wow or league.
Internet tough guy lol. Man if only I was as good as you then I could…..well…not much actually….you know, maybe pone in make believe land.
do you have a single tourney win yet, or did you just play some 8v8 and now you are the pvp knowledge master and know all about balancing?
Any class that can press 2 buttons and kill someone with no set up required is a bit over the top. Yah yah yah you need to dodge you need to this you need to that and you do the hokey pokey and you shake it all about is crap. No class should have that kind of burst. Burst is meant to be a finisher not an opener and finisher all in one. After playing every mmo known to man in the last 20 years I am a bit knowlegable about pvp. SWtoR had Sentinals and Shadows and it made it no fun unless you were one of those classes. This game has thieves and warriors. Problem is when a really good pvp’er plays one of these classes they are unbeatable. Never mind the scrubs who play the class and are still a handful.
you mean the patch where you learn to play? no i dont think thats going to happen any time soon.
You been in a bg where the other team is almost all thieves and warriors? Jump on an ele or necro and tell me how you do. Your prolly a thief or war and fancy yourself as leet. I’m amazed you could type your response as it took more than 2 or 3 buttons.
be a thief or warrior! Nuff said. Is there any eta on the first patch that gets rid of these 2 stupid one and two button mashing “heroes?” Other than necros and eles sucking balls in pvp the games balance is pretty nice.
First things first, Anet need to add a “Skirmish” / “Wargame” feature to allow top tier teams to go head to head with each other at any time that they want to.
Also
Adding a feature to GW2 to allow players to view other teams games from different POV’s would be incredible, I think a feature like this would have to be limited to say allowing 4 players to be invited as viewers (2 per team) to avoid any type of lagg or server delay / potential crash.
By just adding 2 features like this, will allow casters to view top tier games from any POV that they wish to view as well as record the matches and commentate the matches live! And Skirmish / Wargames would allow top tier teams to avoid jumping into random tournament games and be able to have competitive matches when-ever they want to. (To avoid boosting / exploitation of any sort, Glory should not be awarded for Skirmishes)
Actually first on the list should be eliminating the few 2-3 button insta jibb combos possessed by certain classes THEN rated. Would be kind of lame if 75% of the players were nothing but thieves and warriors.
Can a person be in more than 1 guild? And if so how exactly does that work?
Lose the pets. They are an absolute waste of slots.
Heck I’m only level 17 and have completely given up on all minions. On the bright side I still enjoy the class. Daggers are awesome so far for leveling and pvp.
Lacking content, boring and doesn’t feel innovative for combat encounters or boss fights? If that is seriously your opinion, you probably haven’t even played the game beyond level 20. There is no way possible that this game could be lacking to anyone in content, structure or necessarily in need of some drastic change because its too hard.
Here is the way I feel about the OP and consequent posts there-after. Your all wanting this game to be that other game that evolved over the years and is now Easy Mode. Everything gets handed to you for the least amount of effort required and nothing is much of a challenge. There is absolutely no MMO- out there where you literally aren’t broke as a joke if all you do is PvP all day. Get over it and go earn some money.
For anyone to say that there is a lack of content, they either haven’t even leveled to 80 yet or they haven’t cleared every zone available. You know you can go clear areas that are lower level for the same level of challenge it would be at that level right? Going through the motions of encounters tells me, you haven’t seen much of any encounter in this game. Nobody just follows through the motions in boss encounters or any high level encounter in this game. You can’t just stand around and cast and if you are, that is why you are dead on the ground expecting a revive.
I find it sad that no matter what drastic variable a developer like ANet has delivered, people still want that cookie cutter style game that is so familiar. I emplore you all to expand your minds, open your opinions and stop trying to push this game into that mold. It isn’t that other MMO you hold so dear and in a few months, you’ll be whining about that too when the latest content runs out and you find yourself spending hours doing nothing but staring at the screen.
I find this game so unbelievably entertaining that I am amazed every single time I play. I just cant even begin to fathom how anyone could complain about there not being enough to do or how the game is bland with content. Ridiculous and Ludicrous!
Best,
Vancien
I agree. I have bought and played them all (UO, Aion, DaoC, Wow, Rift, SWtOR, etc.) and I believe GW2 to be the best I have seen. See, its not about 100% catering the game to me, its about giving everyone something they enjoy. Raiders gonna raid, PvP’ers gonna PvP and crafters gonna craft. That the game has 3 modes of pvp and some uber dungeons that a person can be downright proud to finish is cool imo. I can see me playing this game for years and years.
Charrbroiled on Ehmry Bay. Theres very few of us. We are all older and pretty much do what we want when we want. We are all vet gamers who like to have fun (which means killing everything that moves in WvWvW mostly). So if being leet doesnt appeal to you but having fun does give me a shout. My main is Krusty Dog. Or not. Either way.
