I think its a pity Staff Ele has been proven to be too weak. Good luck to Honey as a DH.

?

Multiple teams in the ESL have been using Staff-Ele on just the same play-day…. -.-°

Ele is very strong atm. and Staff-Ele might be the best option in the current top-tier meta.

So why didn’t honey switch to tempest staff?

Ask her…
I think they don’t need two Tempests in double Viper Revenant meta…

He meant core Ele, not Tempest I guess.

Yet, they decided to nerf Druid with every single occasion to do so. Blows my mind.

Morwath.9817:

Finaly Honey rerolled, core Ele was disgusting.
I hope they will do better next week!

Did she go D/F or another class?

DH.

Darknicrofia.2604:

#HoneyState is a real thing now

Your Mom has to be proud of you, bullying girls in video games…

Finaly Honey rerolled, core Ele was disgusting.

Terimac.5871:

why no stronghold matches?

Because they want Conquest to become e-sports… it was horrible game mode at launch for spectating and it still is.

butch.8136:

So what?

If something went down by 50%, thats means 50% was unhappy about what they have seeen. Doesn’t that mean, it’s already time for Anet to act?

~7,5k -> ~4,5k -> ~3,5k -> ?

I wouldn’t be surprised, if by end of Pro League its viewership would drop to ~1k, since watching Leeto or Helseth soloq is much more entertaining.

Zeghart.9841:

Not really, actually.
It started with peaks of 7k for EU and 3.5k for NA, and it has stabilized to around 4k since.

It started with 7,5k and went to 3,5k… thats actually 50% loss.

Dropped by 50% since Pro League has started.

Why you believe it belongs to Warrior, but not Guardian?
Anyway, Warrior already has access to Taunt via Berserker.

Real issue with Revenant Taunt (Eye for an Eye) is:
→ Its completly passive.
→ It also applies Protection.
→ It barely can be avoided, since you can trigger it with e.g. AoE Daze.
→ It last 3 seconds, when Beastly Warden (Ranger GM) lasts 2 seconds, while its often hard to land due to low range and pets nature.

Morwath.9817:

We already had it and it was bad.

No, we had a grindboard and it was bad.

A MMR leaderboard displays your actual MMR, that is, your skill level, not how many games you have had.

I meant previous Leaderboards, before Grindboards.
Also with current system, only Premades could progress with MMR based LB.

We already had it and it was bad.

Incoming patch notes:

*Players can gain pip in their League progression every 10.000 Golems killed in Heart of the Mists, we hope you will enjoy your stay!

oOPinoYKirAOo.9730:

well not everyone has 7 characters to change at.. and everyone is not good in every profession…

Id rather have bad Chrono Bunker in team than good Thief.

Enjoy your Thieves.

azyume.6321:

Unless you mean, of course, premades of 4 or 5 against solo queue players. Then yes, the system favors them.

Thats a bit different topic: Solo Que or Riot.

MadVisions.4529:

not at all. if you are not good enough pls forget about it. we finally have a leaderboard which favors good players over bad farmers. pls never EVER complain about ‘oh no i’m stuck in xxx tier and i can’t do anything about it’ that is how it supposed to work. after a while people’s ranks and tiers gonna be set by they performance in game. good players up bad players down (this gonna take some time considering most players are still in #I and #II). in a competitive environment as soon people are reaching the MMR of theyr own skill level, they SHOULD strougle with progressing! and only getting to higher ranking with adwancing personal || teamwork capabilitys.

we waited long for a system similar to this. pls STOP making suggestions for progression based changes, becouse and i gonna use this word seriously: stupid.

…but they want WINGS!
Reminds me PvP stream where Hugh was encouraging PvErs and Guilds with people who dislike PvP to give Leagues a try, because they could get such amazing WINGS!

Anyway MMR should be removed from Ranked, people should be matched based on their Division and Tier placement in Divisions. We don’t need two MM systems working at same time.

Banning abusers is also an option.

Chris.6089:

Was at emerald tier 4, one more win from next tier. 3 hours later, tier 4 zero pip.
Feeling like to punch small animals.

You got entire season to find your place in league system (read: kitten happens)

Just buy them if you dislike PvP.

Mine is 5/15 and I haven’t played since they disabled Stronghold.

If so, it has to be changed, because of how points are gained in Stronghold.

Knighthonor.4061:

I started having trouble in SPvP on my Druid.

Dragon Hunter burst and CC just far outdoes any burst healing I can dish. and the heals get interrupted.

Same for Chronomancer/Mesmer. a simple Poly, or GW, does it all as well.

Reapers are slight trouble when DHs are nearby.

But when every game has DH and Chrono, this is getting tough.

IMO CF and some glyphs should offer up some more stability or something.

and the core trees need some better defensive elements.

Glyph of Unity needs some added elements for survival. Because its not a threat at all to DH’s burst, DD burst, or any of the other high burst specs currently on the meta list.

Share with us which game mode are you playing and which build you’re using.
You should have no problem with DHs, you bascialy can face tank them for eternity if you dodge stuff that has to be dodged.

all solo queue in saphire

Sieg = Victory, for those who doesn’t know.

Browrain.7346:

Not sure we should get into EU vs NA top teams skill factor. Unless you’d like to go over who won the last WTS

You mean the one WTS before which one EU compositions got nerfed, so our amazing Celestial heroes could fight back?

Maybe I should remember you how Orange Logo trashed Abjured in Boston winning 2nd game 500-100 like it would be Hot Join game?

Anyway, NA is so amazing I’m always falling asleep during those Pro League matches.

NeXeD.3042:

I was only being funny with the name thing…. apologies.

Oh i get it you think he’s joking calling the rest of EU trash…. lol

From his point of view, majority of EU players can be trash skill wise compared to his team and few other teams members hes playing with, whats wrong with being honest?

You probably think many of us disagree with his statements?
…or Leeto statements of random trash non-factor teams throwing games?

NeXeD.3042:

I believe you mean the Oracle now.

Does character name make any difference?

NeXeD.3042:

No problem just don’t think anyone being called a peasant should champion the one who called them it.

It his way to be… divide world into Lords and Peasants… we probably would be annoyed, if we wouldn’t be old enough to threat joke as joke.

NeXeD.3042:

He’s been calling you all peasants for years.

Thats why we always root for Misha. Problem?

Anihillation please, no TDM.

trytonianYeti.4389:

If I were the Abjured, I’d say that too. I hope you weren’t expecting them to spill the beans.

Yeah they get faster queue times so they can GO AGAINST SOLOQERS WITH NO CHANCE OF WINNING VS THEM.

That puts us back to them farming soloQers.

They could simply be like most people and queue solo/duo. That will give them faster queue times. They could follow Helseth’s example. BUT NO. they want to farm, easy farm.

There are motives in check other than what they said.

Do you know why Stronghold is shut down?

Because abjured and pz people were exploiting the hell out of a bug to make farming soloQers easier than ever

Thats why I believe they should be punished (exploiting on purpose), lets say monthly ban, which would mean they couldn’t play their matches in Pro League (=loss) for 4 rounds.

It means enemy haven’t lost pip for losing vs you due to dc/desertion, however you still got your pip(/s) for winning.

revy.4320:

I take it you are being ironic?

I doubt it, anything that is cancerous in GW2 comes from NA.

People abusing stealth bug in Stronkhold? Check: NA.
People abusing MMR system and losing on purpose? Check: NA.
2 Guilds dominating entire LB for NON-Pro League teams? Check: NA.

Meanwhile, EU Pro League players (with exception of Car Crashed) soloQ/duoQ their way thru League…

Nope, we got 7 different guilds in top10.
EU players are like Super Saiyans, they practice solo/duo to unleash their potential.

Cuchulainn.7421:

I had some creepy win streak in solo queue arena ranked (-1 unranked and against premades too) which put me to middle emerald and i want to ask if somebody has made the same experience.

Would be interesting. Maybe some motivation for solo q? Maybe not?

All shall Fall.

It happens often after losing streak or when MM can’t find worthy opponents.

We all should demand a refund already.

Why would you even use score to consider who deserve how many pips, if one random Amber guy in your team who doesn’t care can make your match 100-500 against much worse team…

MM never should put Amber guys with anything above Amer in one team, they ruin so many matches with “I can’t lose pip anyway” attitude and careless gameplay.

Xillllix.3485:

So Courtyard removed, Raid of the Capricorn removed, Stronghold Removed…
We currently probably have less pvp maps than on release 3 years ago.

Why was there only 1 pvp map added with HoT and why did you remove 2 good maps from unranked?

Stronghold was disabled until fixed, for one week… don’t panic.

even abjured want team Q as separated thing so they wouldn’t have to stomp pugs, I think Chaithh said he would wait even 30 minutes for “fair” matchup…

Solo Que or Riot!

Zanther Deathbringer.4762:

You mean that bug thats been around since the start, that youre now just taking notice?

Really…

Better now than never, Stronghold needs more attention and fixes. Its really great game mode which could shine with some polishing done right.

Death Stroke.9875:

Not that Conquest is bad but I do prefer Stronghold for most of my classes and wish that would could still play it knowing that there is that glitch, just include a warning “there is a stealth glitch, play at your own risk” or something

…or disable only for Ranked.

Aomine.5012:

OMG, Stronghold is diabled!

I’m so happy!

Got that garbage map like 50% of the time… You can’t even choose not to play that map, unlike other maps which you can choose…

…what?
You just disable checkbox bro…

morrolan.9608:

LegallyBinding.4937:

Lame. Conquest blows.

If conquest blows then stronghold is a nuclear fart of blowage

I like much more Stronghold than CQ, less abusive builds = more fun fights.

LegallyBinding.4937:

Lame. Conquest blows.

Maybe its lame, but thats how broken stuff has to be dealt with. Disable until fixed.

Will be entries with

Which is the most broken class?
Warrior

rejected?:P

tl;dr version please?

Thief queing for PvP, thats whats wrong with this picture.

Israel.7056:

There should be conditions for every match where the loser doesn’t lose pips. Like a point threshold.

“Guys, let us get 50 more points, you win anyway.”

Ragnarox.9601:

…are currently 3 classes that perform 30% better than any other:

Meta DH
Meta REAPER
Herald (condi, normal)

so if you have 2 or more in your team win is guaranteed.
Haven’t seen balance this bad in 10 years of my MMO gaming life and “balance” is coming in 1 1/2 month.

I know they are selling unfinished grindfest but with this attitude you lose more than you gain, bad word travel fast. And guess what, PVP in this game is not bad its awful in its current state.

Wasn’t you the guy saying all the time “DH is fine”?

I’ve… and I’ve played just pure support build.

I agree, GW2 sucks, its all because there is no 2 handed axe as OP noticed.

Some threads just don’t make sense…
