I made my asura warrior the smallest size it could be because I liked the way it looked and was integral to my character’s identity. I even have the word “micro” as part of my char name.

Following character creation, I leveled her 1-80 and proceeded to get 100% world completion. It was only after this and getting a good feel for all the different possible weapon sets/utility skills that I felt prepared to enter the competitive environment of sPvP. And now you want to change my char’s identity so that you can feel better about not missing a backstab?

Sorry, no.

Let’s wait for this to become a real e-sport first before we start making excuses for our performance shall we?

Do you think stupid kitten like that is more important than game’s quality?

Just because you decided to call yourself ‘micro’ the rest of the players should not be able to recognize your animation, not able to react to what you do, and not be able to properly hit you from the back even though they lose 75% of dmg because of that????
Just wow….you can follow that ‘identity’ in pve and wvw, but in spvp there is really no place for that stupid stuff.
If ANET does not pay attention to these things, they will keep adding up to the frustration until spvp is dead. Wait…it already is dead….

I know it’s common for some people to make a lvl 2, join sPvP and do nothing else with the character. But for a lot of players, it is also our quester, crafter, dungeon runner, wPvPer, and RPer. Why should people have to have their character altered into something they didn’t create because of this perceived imbalance?

All of the chars I take into sPvP are level 80 and I designed their features/armor with their race/class/size/gender in mind. I don’t want to lose my sense of identity because you don’t feel it’s “fair”. This is an mmoRPg first and foremost, letters capitalized for emphasis. I want sPvP to succeed as well, but what you’re asking for is selfish.

And I don’t want to be that guy that pulls out random numbers with no proof, but I am very convinced that the number of people who want to maintain their characters as they were created far outnumber those who perceive there is an imbalance and want us all to be red/blue mannequins.

Scroll up for an explanation.

I’ve read the whole thread. It’s not an issue that I need to be enlightened about. It’s a simple case of not agreeing with you.

make another race character and fight an asuran and come back and tell us how you were able to dodge and avoid the skills coming out the asura and how easily the asuran player read your animations while you could barley see them and had to move your screen to your feet just to find them in front of your characters feet. It’s simple.

The guild is indeed called Professionalz, and after dueling with several of them I can vouch that they don’t like losing and when they do they make excuses and act like 12 year olds that drank way too much Cool-aid.

Yes, even the guild leader acted that way with me. When I defeated him he called me a noob, made excuses about “not fighting seriously” and refused to rematch after he finally managed to kill me.

Avoid them at all costs

yeah every time i see them in tpvp i block list their whole roster before game starts lmao because by the end of the game they will say something childish.

I had a glimpse of hope yesterday. Joined a game and everyone was nice. When some one was playing bad we tried to help them why isnt every game like that lol instead of the, ‘’YOU SUX BRO.. no u!’’ and it keeps going till someone rage quits or others in the lobby tell them to stfu and the 2 problem players fight everyone in the lobby and it turns into a IQ lowering zone.

Also some great irony those 2 were in a tpvp game me and my friends joined 30 mins after those pms happened. They werent very good in 3v1 situations(them being the 3 vs 1 of ours) Was hilarious how hard they were trying tho :P

thanks for the response dudes its back now.

and another reasonable thread turns into a flame war.

The thread was about ppl not being able to read certain skills asuran players use since they are so tiny. But it seems the asuran players and the OP like flame wars so bye.

Choops.3710:

What animations are you guys having trouble reading due to the asura’s size?

are you really asking that question after all the things ppl have put up in this thread /facepalm

what happened to it? It says unavailable every time i try to go to it.

Sand Beagle there isnt any point in arguing with them bro they don’t want to loose their advantage.

Asura could be made as tall as shoulder length of medium sized human for spvp only. That way the playing field will be even unless the ppl who play asura and don’t wana give up their giant kitten advantage.

Also it isnt just thieves who suffer against asura like ppl have said. Those lil kittens are hard to read on what they will do because they are so tiny.

Thief traps CD starts immediately upon being planted.
Banners CD starts immediately upon being planted.
Spirits CD starts immediately upon being planted.

Hence you can plant an Ambush trap as a thief, CD will wear off, Opponent steps on it, plant it again and have 2 thieves active at once.

My mistake then, well if this is working as intended then everything else should be like this as well..?

Also Necro marks which are the closest thing that is commonly used operates the exact same way.

Mosharn.8357:

daydream.2938:

ive heard gasmask mention that the CD should start once the trap is sprung. probably would be a good change, and the only chnage necessarry rangers not brokenly op or anything.

agreed. This seems like a reasonable change and wont hurt trap rangers overall.

Actually this would detract from the ability, what happens if you misplace the trap once and no one hits it for the entire game? would you continually be able to throw until one lands on the target as penalizing one failed throw is too much. Meaning the ranger could theoretically have two traps in the air of the same type making traps actually stronger than they are now? This is a bad idea, that can if handled poorly would severely cripple or strengthen the spec.

Instead they could fix empathetic bond to hit rangers where they already hurt, in their personal and pet survivability. This would make traps still remain strong but forcing players to choose between trip traps and condition removal, or taking empathetic bond but sacrificing pets to higher HP ones lowering their overall damage.

theres a despawn timer on em i believe.

showatt.9413:

lol sorry to burst your bubble but drama has always been a big part of pvp community of any mmorpg. Gw2 is actually a relatively tame game for pvp.

it used to be peaceful before lol and its only been 5 months and its like a war out there.

jportell.2197:

Now I know this is meant for a diff thread. But in WvW we have fight clubs and I get a warrior down to 1/4 HP he uses a heal and then is back up to full HP. Do you have any clue on how this would work as it is simply no 1/5 heal.

only the healing surge has a heal rate of that at full adren but the other 2 heals are pretty bad imo.

isnt it the same for thief traps?

No idea, possibly. Not really relevant though seeing as thief traps are pretty kitten underwhelming.

just wondering since the traps probably work in the same way.

isnt it the same for thief traps?

It seems every time i play spvp now there is always some drama or someone making the drama. The most recent thing i can show is there was just a normal game going on and 2 select individuals started the drama saying they wanted a 1v1 with me but when we got to the 1v1 the 2 just came to the server and talked trash. This isnt just a 1 time thing it happens once or even more then twice a day. What is going on to spvp QQ its already not that active now days and these people are making it worse for some who actuly play spvp while waiting on torunys or just for fun to get out of the habit of tournys.

Now these 2 are from the guild professionalz or something like that so i hope their leader can talk to them about not doing this type of stuff. Its just a small hope but they probably wont.

Please ppl lets stop this bs and just play the game.

Does it stack with your normal crit chance? so say i got a 50% crit chance and with it when i stun someone and hit will it be 100%?

Prince.3682:

There are actually a couple issues I’ll bring up here and I know it’s been brought up before but here’s a good example of the rendering bug with thief stealth. Some people seem to think it doesn’t happen in sPVP much but it does. Not every time but certainly noticeable.

When the thief stealths, he is able to get off 4 full shots off before even starting to become visible and isn’t fully rendered until shot 5 or 6. His dagger set was on CD from weapon swap but what usually happens is a series of heartseekers from stealth after c/d+bs which makes the.

Next issue is that air runes are broken. I survive the rendering bug to own myself with 5107 crit from their air rune lightning strike. And to rub salt in the rune his fire sigil proced for 1222 on the air crit lol. So 6229 damage just from attacking. Lot of teams stacking fire sigils too for the aoe zerg fights lately. Fire sigil is really strong but air runes are just stupid.

And just as a point of observation and comparison, his short bow auto attack crit for 1408 at the end there while my lightning auto attack crit for 188. (I’m also using berserkers) Ele dps got nerfed hard during and after beta and thieves got brought up big time. Such is life I suppose.

One more issue worth mentioning is warrior bladetrail is hitting for some absurd numbers in in spvp still.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVFg2iWFKmw

You do realize that the air rune proc is 5% right?

Hidden Garden and crystal caverns because the crystals and lighting looked stunning.

After finishing reach for world completion i never went back. Random laughing/sneezing not my biz.

If you think warrior is weak, go play D/D elementalist, then come back to your warrior.

If you learn to play your D/D elementalist properly, and apply the same playstyle to your warrior, you will notice just HOW superior warrior is.

Axe/mace + (hammer or greatsword) warrior is a D/D ele with 50% more damage, 100% more hp, and better control.

Because you arnt supposed to play you D/D ele like you play your warrior. They are on 2 different levels.

Not true at all.. If you look at the warrior bunker traits and abilities, warriors depend on moving in for large bursts, then getting out and kiting during a regeneration phase to rinse and repeat.

It’s the exact same style as D/D ele.

You lost me at warrior bunker.

I read this thread this morning and played my warrior today in spvp. 7/10 times my rush/bulls bugged as usual. Bolas i dont even use because i tried them once and they can be dodged by a half asleep drunk cripple. Rifle butt also is another one of our skills that has issues as if you aim it right at a person 6/10 times it wont do anything. Hammer f1 is totaly bugged even if you are on an elevated place a foot or above higher. Hammer 2 has this issue as well sometimes but not that often.

Blade trail only forward if there is land otherwise it fails. Evi bugs up aswell a lot and sometimes it goes beyond the said range.

bumpity bump bump

Yeah, this could also open many different build combos with different weapons.

No replys lol. I guess people like using the same 3 weapons lol. Least i tried :/

I been wondering. Since now days you pretty much know what you will be fighting depending on the persons weapon. So 1v1s or any team battles get pretty dull and just feels like a button mash competition.

Just like how we got an ok amount of utility to pick from why cant there be different weapon skill choices? This way a GS war will have 4 different weapon skills then another GS war(Auto attack being a default of course) This way you can have a surprise waiting for you in every fight and no fight will be the same unless Anet introduces skills that are better than the rest and everyone will have the same stuff which defeats the purpose.

But imagine how diverse the could be if this was to happen.

Now i never played gw1 but ive been hearing there were a lot more options there for pvp then we got in gw2. This suggestion could might just keep pvp interesting instead of the same usual stuff we have now which dulls the game play by a lot.

waow anyone? lol

Atm 100 gems= 1g 95s so that means to transfer to a very high server you need 1800 gems so 35g? For a low tier server you need 1000 which is 19g. Is this right? Just want to make sure.

Look Kaineng’s best showed up to duel!

probably the bandwagoners who joined kaineng. They dont look too tough. Kill them!

No, just no.

Warriors are fine. Only thing is buffing shake it off to 3 condi removed. Besides that they got tons of decent builds.

This is a pvp section.

Yeah, it is. Go cry in the warrior section if you want to.

Just saw your original post. Wanted to clear something up. Warriors only got about 3-4 builds rest are useless. GS/axe/shield or axe/mace DPS or hammer/mace/shield or sword/shield tank or KS rifle war.

you ppl better not loose in t3.. kaineng that is. I want to see how you fare against TC.

Gw2 doesnt have a warrior class. Someone might have accidnelty gave that name to us. Besides from being a 1 trick pony frenzy HB, 1 trick pony rifle KS build, Axe/shield 1 trick pony Evi build. Rest of the weapons are aweful. Hammer is slow as kitten and does little dmg and can be easily avoided. Mace is weak there are no real words i mean its single target CC with like barley any real dmg? lolwut? Then we got these swords to give some wars a glimmer of hope that we too have bleed builds.. until they make a full set and do S/S and see it does nothing at all. Swords are so crappy i dont know where to begin… Its dps is terrible and bleeds are at snail speed. Rifle has a random bleed on it and the only usable skill is KS and even when you use that its like ‘’OK EVERYONE IMA KNEEL AND POINT AT YOU… dont move or anything’’ Volley is easily dodged and made useless. Bow… well most of us wars get togeather and make fun of the longbow as it does little to nothing besides 1 area denial and a slow as kitten semi hard hitting 3 skill. 2 skill on bow is barley good melee range and 4/5 are utility.

Then we got horn which is never to be used in combat as it offers nothing really unless you spend 20 to go into vit so you can get its trait that will pwn your dps.

GS the overrated weapon with a useless burst that you wont see anyone use unless they noobin or goofin. Axe off hand is a messed up joke. Mace off hand aint bad.

If anyone thinks they dont suck are obiviously high. I mean we gotta go out of our way for a kill where other person is like… mhhhmm 1 oh oh hes movin let me insta kill him and then the 5 others by him.

Where as a war i like: 5 ppl this should challenge my skills..Pow got 1 guy down yeah! yeah! ah man wasted all my utility trying to stomp him…“runs” and suddenly on the ground like, ‘’Almost got em bullocks!’’

One single mishappen as a war and you will be laying on the ground wishing you hadnt missed that hit where as your enemy probably messed his/her combo like 5 times and still keep doin it to you.

I have 1.4k hours of gameplay on warrior so said above is all of experience.

If they want to improve stuff i ask they remove the silly bleed off the rifle auto and increase the dmg a bit and do something with 2 and 4.

For swords either faster bleeds or give it more dps as of now its stuck in the mid of dps and bleed and sucks at both.

Bow 2/4/5 could use a bit of dmg increase.
Hammer could have the 2/4/5 skills sped up a tiny bit.
Mace could use a dmg increase overall.
GS burst needs to be usefull remove this crappy fury giving no dmg slow as hell move and replace with somethin that would fit its theme.
Axe off hand: axe 4 needs a dif animation and a bit faster and more dmg i think it does less dmg then part 1 of auto not sure tho havent used em for a long while since axe off hand is horrible. Axe 5 could use a dmg booster as it does less dmg then auto as everyone knows and sure its an aoe and axe auto hits 3 ppl at once leaving axe 5 useless.

Bow effin mage.

Class name: Bowmage
Role: Ranged bow/caster dps with support/cond builds aswell.
Armor: Medium or light

weapons: Longbow/shortbow/crossbow

Also idk if anyone has noticed there’s 3 classes for light armor and medium armor but only 2 for heavy >.>

oops can this be moved to bugs i made a bobo

The shortbow version is bugged i believe. It doesn’t have the glow effect. I mean it does when you equip it but as soon as you shoot the bow just turns blue like it got frostbite and the glow effect goes away. I thought i was the only one but tested it out with 2 other players and the same happened for them.

I believe i was being too much of a boss to look at your given SS. Apologies good sir.

You gotta hang in there and help out your server in wvw. It is a difficult task to get the wvw maps done but you gotta be patent. I really dislike the idea of making players do this since a bandwagon server shuts the chance of the other 2 servers players to get 100%. Which in other words forces you to transfer to a server where they control everythin in WvW to get your 100% done.

usually ppl join so that doesn’t do anything sorry to tell yah.

so how about we make it 6v6 spvp now? I mean as far as everyone loves spawn camping and 8 ppl zergs to every node it is getting fairly boring now. I mean zergings for wvw right? Thats why most ppl leave wvw and do spvp instead. But i guess we can call the pvp modes as the following: Zerg vs Zerg, tpvp, and wvw. Who needs spvp am i right?

Phira.3970:

I didn’t get 10 Laurel tokens for my monthly I finished this month before the patch. I understand why this may be so; however, other players have an opportunity at a 10 laurel tokens headstart for not having done monthly it in advance. Unfair.

Also, I didn’t get 1 Laurel token because of the daily combo killer bug.

I’m sure lots of others players have been caught in the same situation. Will there be any sort of compensation?

good sir they already explained that the jan montly would not give anything. Also that daily didnt count aswell because the combo was bugged so they made a new one.

Doggie.3184:

Arah is going to be crazy as hell to pug, lol. Even more-so than already.

Yeah i dont see how pugs are gona find decent players for arah and cof p2 lol.

Mosharn.8357:

Well just when you think they couldn’t be more awful this new update that doesn’t let you waypoint if you die now has done it for me. Probably will do little to no dungeons from now on. They already felt like a chore now its just not worth wasting time on.

Another thing that didn’t need a fix that got ruined. Whats next.

Are you kidding? Lol if you can just zerg a boss there’s no point. Take your time, learn the mechanics, play as a team, and play smart and you shouldn’t die in the first place. If you do, fix what it is you’re doing wrong and hey you magically won’t die anymore.

Also, have your team mates revive downed players before they are defeated and you won’t have a problem. The game is easy enough. They’re heading down the right path with this one.

Not everyone will be on rambo mode in a dungeon party. I made this thread so the people who haven’t done dungeons like the no lifers aren’t looked upon as dead meat if they accidentally get downed and watch as when someone comes to res they get downed as well. Sure it doesn’t happen every time but mistakes happen and perma death till party resses doesn’t seem like a good time.

there are many faster ways lol. Run with a zerg in wvw and you’re done. It feels about the same(old daily to new that is)

cesmode.4257:

The amount of side-stepping, work arounds, boss glitching, trash skipping, borderline exploiting in this game is out of control. Use common sense and logic. Do you think the devs meant the dungeons to be played out like this?

Come on.. This change is definitely needed.

yeah i agree its good that it will stop the dungeon exploiters but what about the people who do the whole thing lol. Imagine TA now or arah lol.

we go through so much in dungeons for 60 tokens and blues and a dumb tonic. Yes i know ressing is important but when a person dies its better to res and run back and support your team with dps or tanking. When being forced to res a dead person there is a good chance the people ressing will die too. Which isnt a great thing because no one likes a unnecessary party wipe.

I know they added this so it would prevent the people who skip most dungeons trouble, but it seems to hurt the people who do the full thing a bit aswell.

Mosharn.8357:

But now it involves the whole pty getting pwnt to res 1 person or wasting time ressing 1 person instead of finishing the dungeon fast enough.

Don’t get pwned… learn the dungeon mechanic’s and play with skilled players. :/

well i will admit im a no lifer but it hurts the ppl who just want to have fun and do something. Now ppl will rage quit on their party’s even more then before.

But now it involves the whole pty getting pwnt to res 1 person or wasting time ressing 1 person instead of finishing the dungeon fast enough. The dungeons were already a pain to work with as a team and now this. I hope they don’t think every thing should be for the no lifers. The casual players don’t deserve punishments.

Well just when you think they couldn’t be more awful this new update that doesn’t let you waypoint if you die now has done it for me. Probably will do little to no dungeons from now on. They already felt like a chore now its just not worth wasting time on.

Another thing that didn’t need a fix that got ruined. Whats next.

awesome we got nothing real fixed once again :/
