Ranger is a bit UNDERPOWERED, no need to nerf.
Almost all of my matches have been blowouts (I’d say 80 – 90%) and usually end 500 – 150ish. The few times that I lost (by now) was usually against a premade team of known pvpers. I don’t really understand how I still get matched up with/against people I have never seen before, but hey, I won’t complain about winning.
Soon Wild Justin will appear and tell you that only 10% were blowouts xD
in WvW that template function should be disabled.
why?
i shouldnt be allowed to have a zerg, roam, and solo template saved?Because who need templates for PvE.
one says we dont need it for wvw
another comments that we dont need it cause who needs it for pve….haha
I’ve said that WvW = PvE.

I’m happy whenever enemy Engi is playing Turrent Engi > Celestial or Condi…
Plus, read the thread, most people want this to be larger than 5 v 5.
You mean few screaming guys who mistaken WvW subforum with PvP subforum?
Guild name [TAG]: Bad and Angry [fail]
Servers: EU
Description: as the name already says we’re looking for players with horrible skills as well as personalities. the guild’s communication, if there is any, is to take place through flame and insults only. friendlyness and comradeship is strictly forbidden.
Requirements: being a major kitten, r80, 99% or less on lb
Recruitment thread: there is none, kitten you
Voice communication: nothing specific, i guess there’s always a ts3 server to be used somewhere
Website: as if i would go through that kind of hassle
Private Arena: who needs that kitten
Contacts : me, your eternal master
Where do I apply?!
It’s easy.
Make player limit where limit is X+lowest faction number per faction.
Both of you are wrong.
PvE doesn’t teach as much as spvp.
Of course it doesn’t. However it’s good way for newbies to learn basics about skill rotations to maximize dmg etc before they enter PvP.
You’re both wrong – PvE is for new people.
I agree. PvE is where they should learn basics of their class…
Nah, instead of nerfing the three classes that make best use of might stacking and the cele amulet, they nerfed everyone who uses might!
Because, you know, if EVERYONE hits for less damage, then the celestial eles will be easier to kill, right?
Because everyone else was stacking Might by switching Kits/Attunements.
Tao I feel like you have not read any of the previous posts. If someone is exploiting and they kick me and 16 other people from their arena within seconds of joining its pretty suspicious. also i dont understand the part where you say to make my own arena. Are you suggesting that because i got kicked from an exploiters arena that I make one and that i also exploit because thats the right action to do in this situation?
Point is: it’s not worthy to exploit anything in customs. It’s waste of time.
What about limiting team to one each type of amulet? You can have two ele or engi but only one of them can use cele – the other would have to use something else. Wouldn’t this prevent class and amulet stacking?
Sorry if my suggestion sounds stupid, I’m new to spvp :P.
It would give us insane que times.
I am pretty sure Stronghold isn’t tying to Guild LB.
Can not play pvp because I am not in a guild?
Can not play pvp because I don’t have 9 other people on at the same time and place?
Ofc you can… conquest.
They nerfed Celestial by nerfing Might stacking.
snip
I Ranked there is only one goal: Win at any cost.
- Nobody cares about conquest!
- Everybody loves arenas!
’’
100% disagree
Quit talking for everyone, “frand”
I agree. Node Protectors hate Arenas since they take actual skillz.
Confession: I leave more than 75% of unranked games when I barely leave rankeds.
Confession two: I’m lately playing Spirit-Power Ranger with more than 70% win rate (Ranked).

Imho Guilds with large population got pretty big chances to be decent in 5v5. E.g. if Guild has 50 members you can form 10 teams from them and train 5v5 between themselves, then choose weekly/monthly the best 5 to represent Guild in GvG.
And since you can be in multiple Guilds at the same time, you can represent other Guild as separate team when you don’t cut for ‘the best 5’ of your main one…
I think we need clear infomation about everything about Ranked PvP on website AND ingame.
We actually have enough information, but nobody bother reading it.
If you want some, how about starting with: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/PvP_Matchmaking_Algorithm
I want it ingame, easy accessible.

Having a GvG with 5v5 is already excluding a huge population that doesn’t do spvp as it is because of the small team sizes.
It’s completly opposite. Requiring low numbers mean: ANY Guild can compete, when requiring larger numbers would exclude majority of small and medium sized Guilds.
Having spvp gear and stats is another reason a lot of people don’t play that game mode. Most of the wvw pop likes to min max their gear which can’t be done in spvp.
You’re wrong. Having sPvP gear and stats it’s reason why sPvP has any sense. More or less gear overall in GW2 isn’t balanced, thats why it got limited in sPvP… to make game more balanced and exclude some PvE stuff from PvP.
There are more reasons than this but I’m off to work.
There is no single reason. You just believe GW1 GvG will fail, when it was the thing that made GW1 so succesful in PvP and it was also the reason why many of us bought GW2 and finally it will be implemented…
Hope they will allow a setting to change between spvp rules or wvw rules
I hope they won’t. WvW is horrible and unbalanced sandbox, which unlike sPvP has nothing with competition.
How can 5 people represent a 20-30 man guild?
How can 20-30 people represent 5 man guild?
Stroghold isn’t a GvG game mode. Is just a PvP mode.
I’m in a dedicated WvW guild, with around 60 active members, which raids 4-5 days at week with a group of 25-30 players. In the clan no one cares about PvP (well, except me), they don’t play PvP on regular basics, they don’t have a proper PvP team, and when they ocassionally play PvP is oftenly in hotjoin.
So I had to break my path to rank 80 PvP playing alone in Conquest playing with randoms, barely keeping a 50% win/lose ratio.
This new Stronghold mode will mean nothing for devoted WvW clans, and will change nothing about the curret PvP numbers, which are niche (as WvW numbers are also: no disrepect here, is just how the things are). Most of Guild vs Guild battles in WvW involve from 15 vs 15 to 30 vs 30 players, so no one (aside current PvP players) will care about Stronghold.
Just stop calling it “GvG”, because it sint. Is a PvP mode.
Just stop calling your zerging in WvW a “GvG”, because it’s not proper “GvG”, just “Zerging in WvW”.
Thanks for understanding.
~ GW player since 2005
They are making a PvP mode that is almost identical to the original GvG in Guild Wars 1.
The fact that a tiny group of people in WvW have decided to call 20v20 clashes GvG is not really ArenaNets problem.
People have been asking for GW1 like GvG since release, and now they are getting it.
^
+ over 9000
And WvW players still will be able to do their Zerg Clashes in WvW…
I guess WvW population is just afraid that they won’t be good enough to be picked as representation of their own Guild in 5v5 or 8v8 since there is no space for dead weight in small scale pvp…
Sorry, but GW1 GvG was requested since launch…
Do you mean custom aka private arenas?
Is it because i play solo and not in Group.
It gets on my nerves…. what should i do for it to stop?
Find friends and premade with them.
You cannot make a competitive gamemode with more than 5 players per team. Period.
8 players+ is for casuals that want to get carried
In GW1 8v8 was fine number, but I guess because we had Monks. However maybe with xpac we will get better supporting roles for such game mode…
what makes the best guild then, how much better they zerg another guild? at least in these types of game modes you can see how well each member of a team contributes to the game instead of a mess of 20 players in which half of them probably just get carried.
You obviously never even watched a GvG, or are being sarcastic.
What you’re saying is absolute rubish. You talk about people being carried yet in this gamemode only 5 people are playing… how does that make a WHOLE GUILD the best?
You need at least a large portion of the guild to participate in the gamemode to mark it as the best guild.Because their best members are the best?
GvG focussed guilds often dont have more then the amount of players they need for GvG.
Soooo?
The whole guild is actually worth the title “the best”.
It’s simple: quality over quantity. Who cares about big social guilds except casuals?;P
I think good old 8v8 would be the best.

Just leave any Skyhammer, problem solved. Exacly what I do.
Premade has the biggest advantage there. Maybe matchmaking should just block this map to be voted when any premade bigger or equal to 3 is involved.
Anet, pleaaaaase. We need to be more esportz.
+1
EU (at prime time) – huge lag spikes and DCs, while my connection is perfect everywhere else
Anet invest in servers, laggy servers = no eportz
I had same thing when ranked and unranked que popped at same time and I’ve accepted both xD

Mine experience is much better, currently above 70% as solo Q, which means it’s probably puting me into ‘2ez’ matches.
This ain’t normal anymore.
Max 1 class of each in solo q, all I ask.That would mean 10 min ques for non-daily classes and 30 min ques for daily classes.
Swapping is really that kittence youre stacked?Or remove these “dailies”, problems solved
It won’t solve anything, because then you will have wait times split by meta classes and non-meta classes.

algorithm gets the outcome of the match right 95% of the kitten time. I’m tired of being saddled with kitten like this.
You got 2 thieves and other Mes, yet you don’t swap class yourself. Don’t complain please.
Why should we even have to change class? The way Anet told us was that class-stacking would be eliminated mostly while solo queue’ing.
Yet, I get stacked teams all the time.
It’s a fault in the matchmaking, not the players.
So ye, we complain because we shouldn’t be the one altering classes, that would defy the way the matchmaking works after all.Because MM can’t handle daily class wins. You can’t evenly redistrubute classes to avoid class stacking if it’s daily class and 30% of ppl play it at given time.
Exactly, but does it make it our fault for all this to happen?
Yes and no.
Yes, because it’s up to player what class they are playing and if they are willing to switch when they are allowed to.
No, because Anet reward playing certain classes (daily ones), however it’s again player fault, since it’s not like they have to do it in ranked.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought swapping classes gives you dishonor these days?

01/13/15 – January 13th Release Notes : Added an accumulating grace period for disconnects, allowing players to reconnect and finish the game without receiving dishonor or taking a loss.

Yes, please do so. I will have excuse to go afk in 1/3 of matches aka whenever kittened map is chosen.
Side note: pugs on EU play like pugs on NA from 1 year ago… idk why pugs are so behind in meta, top players are really good though. Wouldn’t say that NA or EU is better though, i think both regions have their share of bad and good players.
It’s because we don’t need play Cele to win?
In my opinion, what needs to be done for PvP to be an Esport.
1- Allow only 2 maximum of each armor type per match to start balancing health and armor pools (bare minimum of balance)
Classes:
2- Buff the ele minor traits in other lines than water for more dps, armor and vitality, nerf cleansing water with a cooldown to compensate. Give the ele a good elite worth using. Increase staff animation speed for gust and many other slow skills.3- Change the Ranger longbow damage, it should do less damage at greater range. Nerf root duration.
4- Increase the cooldown by 15-20% on engi immobilize turrets and knockdown skills, increase their healing turret speed.
5- Improve the auto-targetting system so that it doesn’t target windows or pets/minions.
6- Increase Necro mobility, nerf F1 autoattack by 15% or increase the cooldown
7- Warrior, make hammer stun/knockdowns of a 15% shorter duration
8- Guardian, increase dps with GS and Hammer by 5%
9- Thieves seem in a good spot
Please NO.
Yes, scores does not matter, but if you score like 0 – 30 pts and the rest of team score like 100s, what does that tell you?
That im playing Bunker Guard?
I am tracking these sort of matches, and am working to figure out exactly what we can do to improve the situation w/o bloating queue times to absurd levels.
I’ve once (well, twice) suggested to allow winning team stay together for next match if they vote to do so (they could get temporary +value% MMR per win) so those teams which are doing well could be assigned to fight premades after certain winning streak boosting their MMR.
Also to encourage people to stay as winning ‘team’ you could give +additonal points for those ‘win streaks’ when PUG advances.
