Guild Wars 2

Rise! is a little out of hand and moa use to be a great counter for Necro heavy and minion comps.

Can we please have this back?

Its mildly ridiculous how impossible it is to get damage out on the necro with so much random crap around considering the 5 man AOE cap.

Thanks.

Evan Lesh.3295:

This is a problem of rating confidence. New players start with an MMR very close to the average of the player base, but their rating is much less confident than someone who has average MMR and 1000 games played. There are three avenues I see that can be taken:

• Care more about games played than we already do. This functionality was actually added recently and replaced rank consideration, but it’s not a very accurate indication of skill.
• Care more about rating deviation. This number is meant to track with rating confidence, and is higher for new players. We could use this for matchmaking, but it’s already being considered in the ratings formula…
• Let the rating system handle itself. Rating deviation is meant to move players quickly to a more accurate rating. Since this player had only played 2 games, you can be sure that his rating deviation is high and his rating dropped dramatically after that game. You may never see that player again.

I prefer the last route as we let the Glicko algorithm do what it does best. We can’t avoid every single bad match up. As you said in your post, it could have been an alternate account. There is no way for the system to know how good a player they are unless they play, and that means a some guesses have to be made along the way.

While I think this is good in the long run, creating a buffer MMR bracket for new players is a great 4th alternative. They can progress through this bracket REALLY fast if they full fill certain win/loss and other glicko requirements that you would know more about.
Dropping people into an average MMR is super frustrating for all parties involved.

So I just got matched with a brand new player, just over 800AP. I even asked him if this is an alt account and how many games he played. He responded MUCH later(obviously being unfamiliar with the chat system) that this is his second PvP game.

Now tell me anet, how the hell does a brand new player get matched like this?
No wonder new players don’t enjoy pvp, they literally can’t even contribute to the match in any way.
This isn’t fun for him, or for his team, hell i doubt it is any fun for the enemy team either.

Sure, this doesnt happen often to the longstanding players, but ALL new players are effected by this idiotic matchmaking.

EDIT : No he wasn’t partied with someone. There is no excuse that I could find for him being matched like this.

Shala.8352:

well there’s a solution… make any class like warrior is^^.

The thing you are complaining about rifle engi is the same warriors are complaining about their class… except that not only rifle is affected by this problem, but any of warriors weapons XD XD.
When we complain about the condi spam, isnt necessarly about the condi dmg stuff, but the spam on blind weakness chill is happening in this game, in contrast of the unblockable aoe ground easy target skills. In any decent mmo, melee attacks are stronger than ranged one, in this game not… now we have Decapitate wich is lower than gunflame (is lower than an axe autoattack to be fair) and its almost impossible to land. Now i dont mean that every skill should be like warrior’s one (impossible to land), but would be nice if they would be with the same concept of movement/placement of yourself in order to land.

Yeah warrior is so screwed by EXACTLY this problem, little AOE and no field, single large hit instead of recurring hits.
I wanted to mention it actually

PvP has massively devolved into a huge mess of AOE and skill spamming with very little reason to do much else.
Before HoT, a lot of niche builds had their place and were fun to play, now you might as well not bother. HoT meta builds or dont even bother.

Every single weapon and build currently in decent use has an extreme amount of AOE or multiple hits. Why is this the case you might wonder? Because blinds, blocks are so prevalent and ease of play of these weapons is.

As an example : Rifle vs hammer engineer.

You won’t see rifle engineers much, because they rely on CC and large single hit burst shots. This just doesn’t work anymore thanks to the over-abundance of random boons and blocks flying around, same goes for blind. I tried running rifle, i get blinded, knowing i can’t CC or dmg using 2-5 skills while blinded i opt to cleanse the condition with an auto, but this doesn’t work at all. There are so many random attacks and fields and stuff flying around that blindness is constantly being applied, I can’t reliably get a overcharged shot off and when i do, by the time I land net shot/blunderbus/jump shot I have been blinded again, even in mid air.
Lets say I don’t get blinded, then I get CCd, because that is rampant too, I stopped counting how many time I would get interrupted mid jump shot from some random un-targeted AOE just to flop down on the ground like a wet noodle with my Predator as useless as a white weapon!

Contrast this with hammer and its constant spamming and multiple hits, its much less effected by these random blocks and blinds since everything is AOE and continues hits, not to mention the bonus finishers it has that you benefit from whether your attacks miss or get blocked or not.

Duelling used to be an exercise in skill, these days its a case of who has the most sustain OR who counters who. You are an engi, sorry, you can’t fight that druid, it won’t be worth your time, even if you do manage to beat him after a 2 min fight.
Whenever I win a fight, I don’t feel skilled anymore, using a metabattle build literally feels like cheating. When I lose the fight, I don’t feel the other person was better either, simply I was countered or outnumbered and unable to get out.

This is where I should be adding my suggestions on fixes as constructive feedback, but sadly… I have no clue anymore, anets series of bad decisions has pushed the game so far as to make it impossible to balance around both old and new weapons, specs, and utilities without a major overhaul.
Sorry to say I have no clue what to do about this situation.

TL:DR.
PvP is a spammy, unfun and no-skill mess.

mov.1246:

Scrapper got enough nerfs in the past, u just need to learn how to play against them.
Scrapper are weak against: condi, hard cc, kite. We must have a lot of blocks, invuln and evades because we lack condi cleanse, stability, armor, and range attacks.
The only thing that is patethic, is that you whine in the engi forum that we are too strong in your oppinion.

tldr; L2P

It’s funny reading this, I main a thief and read you saying you lack condi cleanse, stab, armor and range that’s why you need a lot of invuln, blocks etc
well i do not have any stab, bad condi cleanse, a 2 sec invuln noone takes, less armor and less range
so why don’t we buff thief to have all the sustain scrapper has? since that is your way of argumenting about the current state of scrapper ^^

Your arguments both dont hold. Scrapper doesnt have the burst Daredevil has, nor the mobility. Besides Daredevils are more about avoiding dmg, rather than blocking or healing it back up.
As weird as it sounds, Daredevils dont have less range than Scrapper.

Anyway, Scrapper needs a playstyle change to be a bit less good in 1 on 1 and a bit better in support.

Currently Scrapper is more allround with smaller weaknesses spread out, rather than really specialised in one area, with a big weakness in another.
They are build well for 1 on 1, which raises complaints.
Becoming more supportive and less powerful in 1 on 1 could fix issues, without nerfing them into useless.

Less burst? Are you sure? Go check out my explosives scrapper on metabattle.com. Tell me we don’t have vurst after than.
Less mobility, sure, less burst? God no.

Kaizoku.1298:

So you are saying eles/tempests should be nerfed too ?

This made me laugh. Ele is in a goodspot i thi k. To have the sustain they have now they need to invest in stats, ckerics, scrapper doesn’t and that is where the problem is.

Rational reaction to a nerf demand is rare on this forum.
However a nerf to rapid regeneration is sorely needed. Either that or hammer needa a slight damage nerf and fewer leaps on 3.

This doesn’t mean that other classes don’t need nerfing too, if it were not for the current god tier on scrapper we would have no way to deal with necros at all.

Greyrebel.7492:

its not only in pvp it happend to me in fractals and other pve places too , i thought its the lag for me that kinda mess up something …..
i strongly recomand u to not bashing ur head on your keyboard or something….
it will only makes things worst, and u end up having the same problem u have in game, in real life !

I giggled, thanks

Moving around in PvP or raid, suddenly stand still and can’t go anywhere until you use a dodgeroll or movement skill? You all know it well.

Can we finally get this kitten fixed now? Before I bash my head open on my keyboard or something… Thanks…

Exedore.6320:

OP is 100% correct. The power creep is too high and the changes were lazy.

The only thing saving season2 is that ESL is restricting the number of professions on a team.

I don’t want to focus too hard on the power creep part, but definitely is impactful.

nacario.9417:

I liked the different angle u took in this thread compared to those other 2

Can only try.

ANET, you are doing this all wrong. In regards to “balance” patches.

Well hello there, I am back to write another lengthy post on what is being done wrong in regards to balance from a PVP perspective.
My last 3 posts were quite the rollercoaster, from being completely downtrodden with the state of PvP, to being excited for quarterly balance patches to once again being downtrodden after HoT and leagues.

Now for the reason for my post :

ANET, your last balance patch was lazy with some of the most corner cutting I have ever seen in a gaming balance attempt.
Harsh? Probably. But I suspect that you were pressured for time and unable to release a comprehensive balance patch and instead left us with this drivel. If this is NOT the case and you released this patch believing you had put enough time and thought into it, then tell me know, so I can stop hoping for better days.

Now for some context.

What we were told :

1. Quarterly balance patches, so we can’t expect much more after this patch. BAD

It is obvious that you no longer stick to tweaks, you are making sweeping and massive changes to BASE systems in PvP in an attempt to improve the PvP, this is NOT how to go about it.
You literally are making things worse patch by patch because of these sweeping changes.

2. Getting rid of bunker amulets.
Seems good, but in truth the problem is and never was amulet related, how is it that pre-HoT, the other bunker amulets(besides cele, which is debatable) was never a serious issue?
You guessed it, power creep or more accurately tanky creep. Sure actual power/condition damage received plenty increases as well, but hard mitigation wins out vs increase damage any day. If you 1million damage but your oponent is invulnerable, you really do no damage, for example.
All this serves to do is limit build diversity even more.

There are very many ways to deal with the current state of PvP, most of which have been discussed at length, some examples:

Less access to boons. MUCH less.
More boonstrip/conversion. No necro isn’t enough.
Split PVE and PVP balance. Can’t even begin to describe how important this would be for a competitive game mode. It will open up so many options for real change.

Now before I begin with specific examples I feel its neccessary to discuss how TERRIBLE this power creep is.

It is obviously that you are scared to flat out nerf a class, this is most likely due to the effect it might have on PvE as well as a slight fear of community outcry. This has led to a situation where every patch other classes are buffed to “catch up” in power to the powerful classes. Just looking at some of the patch notes on the 26th, there are tons of flat improvements.
It is time you start nerfing instead.

Thief is probably the most notable lazy buff:

Dagger auto increase, wtf were you thinking here? PvE right? Obviously…

Dagger play style has always been : Setup backstab > hit for large number > Finish with heartseeker. This is overly simplified but that is a quick summary of DAGGER MAINHAND alone.

After your ridiculous dagger auto increase setting up a backstab is a complete and utter waste of time and initiative.

Lets look at the numbers all run WITH fury up :
Auto attack chain takes 3/4 of a second to complete.
I was able to consistently deal 5000 damage in one auto attack chain vs a heavy golem using the stardard metabattle daredevil DP build.
A backstab was able to achieve 4300 not as consistently. This only has a 1/4 second cast but requires initiative, time or a utility to do.
Hearseeker requires 3/4 of a second to complete. At 50% HP consistently hit for 3500 damage. At 25% I got 4200 damage consistently.

So auto chain is literally better that bothering to do anything else on 1 and 2, making the entire design of the weapon utterly and pathetically pointless.

Who thought this was a good idea? Who thought this is what constitutes a BALANCE change? Because it sure doesn’t.

What SHOULD have been done here was that the TOTAL DPS increase should have been distributed over the 3 skills mentioned above to preserve the dagger mainhand play style and promote skillful play instead of mindless spam.

This was just one of many example of why you are incapable or unwilling to balance PvP in this game in any competent manner and since I just noticed my post is hellishly long already, ill call it for now.

Sincerely
Tired of hoping but stubborn PVPer.

I am a huge advocate of boon counterplay in PvP and think that we need more boon removal or less access to boons. So with that in mind I have the below idea for a boon removal skill on the engineer.

I really like the flavour of this trait and would love to have more incentive to use it above the much better Elixir S and Backpack regenerator. Since we are getting some minor trait balances(most likely) with the coming balance patch I thought I would post my suggestion for this trait.

Inversion Enzyme : Conditions removed from affected allies are converted to boons. Enemies affected have their boons removed. Maximum 5 targets.

This could also be a corruption like necro, but I don’t think that fits thematically.

What you guys think?

Lol funny how you think bunker mesmer is still that good. They lose cap contribution easily.
Unbeatable comp would be something like 3 bunker tempests and 2 marauder engis.

Seriously? This wasn’t mentioned in the PVP league post.

So what now?

I don’t even know why i still play this game, really I don’t.

Velimere.7685:

I’ve had no problem facing this build 1v1 on small nodes playing Bunker Mesmer. It’s simply a matter of managing your blocks, evades, and stability all in proper order really.

Oh this is RICH! Haha.

Mal.1670:

For your 1.1 point, you could elaborate meaning that the icon is “meaningless” for the people who “cheated” by gaming the system for lower MMR… some people have been getting lucky and climbing divisions through solo-queue.

Exactly, for those rare people that have not abused the system, its luck, not skill.

Another reason to disable ranked and reset pips/MMR

The latest abuse of losing intentionally to lower your MMR and freely gain pips.

Aggrostemma.1703:

You are seriously complaining about DH?

I’m not a top pvp player but it took me less than 2 hours to find out how to beat them 1v1.

In teamfight it’s a bit more tricky…

The DH is a prof what you do not want to be unchecked…

But it’s so black and white seriously…

If a DH is in melee range get ready to dodge/break, if in range reflect/invu and send a bruiser out there.

Between these two they cannot do anything!

LOL.

Wait, so I get 2 minor things wrong on DH and suddenly im wrong on every single fact?

Whos fabricating now? I am done with this conversation, hypocrisy is ridiculous.

IsilZha.3608:

What is the point? You clearly don’t have one since you got all the facts wrong. When you demonstratively don’t even know what the skills you’re crying about actually do your post is absolutely worthless. Sticking your fingers in your ears when you don’t want to hear the skills don’t do what you think they did and continuing to shout that they’re “broken” based on your stupidity and ignorance accomplishes just one thing: you have no earthly clue what you’re talking about.

I only touched on DH because I know it well and I don’t play Mesmer. Unlike you, I don’t attempt to discuss minute details of things I don’t know. But hey, shockingly, someone else already pointed out you got that wrong too.

The only thing you’ve proven is that you cry about skills you don’t know about, you make-up the facts you don’t know (instead of looking it up,) and then declare you won’t respond when a silly thing like facts gets in the way of your crying. Given your refusal to respond to the rest (making up empty excuses to ignore the facts), it’s clear you’re now being intentionally dishonest to make your “point.”

Great so now im fabricating because I was outdated on the heal, whooptidoo.
Point still stand, the fact that you are hammering so hard one small details when my point is still valid, proves that again, you are just defending something for the sake of it.

Missing the point as per usual on this forum.

choovanski.5462:

DH is EZ if you can dodge roll.

Both, got it!

choovanski.5462:

engi has 20sec cd unblockable pull. idk why DH pull has your panties in such a twist.

if you suck, & need easymode go play guardian. it’s as easy as this game will get.
if you’re playing scrapper & still scrubbing out, haha homes you worse than i am. i can mess w anything on my engi. no fear no scrub. u feel me. learn to play bruh. compose, learn & feel.

You didn’t read, you didn’t comprehend. Which is it?

So you can’t balance patch now. Bad, very bad. But thats fine, stuff go wrong, time is short.

Prove us you take PvP seriously. Prove to us you care about PvP as a competitive environment.

Disable it or risk Season 1 of leagues being a joke and as a result lose a lot of the PvP esports potential you could have build up.

IsilZha.3608:

Hey let’s look at a few things here…

Novuake.2691:

2.1 Virtues being 10x better than on base guardian with essentially no trade-off.

lol

Justice: Have to be facing target, cast time, generally single target (can hit multiple, but have to be lined up), can be evaded. The pull has a 40 second cooldown.
Resolve: Obvious cast time/delay that can and does get interrupted
Courage: Now has a cast time – cannot be used in the middle of another action.

Clear trade-offs – and you just left out/ignored the fact that the Spear pull is on a separate cool down which is nearly double your example of another pull.

2.1 Instacast traps, they might as well not be called traps. So more unblockable, instacast CC, or if not CC, healing then.

Mechanically these don’t make sense and should not be instant at the very least.
I don’t care what you have to say about how easy DH is too counter or whatnot, mechanically broken. Period.

Hah. Only 2 are instant cast, and one of those is utility (not the heal.) They’re instant cast, not instant effect, as they have an activation time just like all traps.

But hey, when you have to exaggerate, lie, and get the actual facts absolutely wrong to make your point, it’s pretty clear even you didn’t think the facts were actually enough to make it sound as bad as you wanted.

Or you’re just totally ignorant and have no idea what you’re talking about. So was it malice or stupidity that you got all the facts wrong?

Very well, I was not aware that the pull had a separate cooldown to the spear itself.
Comment still stands that it is a very low cast time unblockable CC, sure not that regular, but still mechanically broken.

Test of Faith is NOT a utility and is instant cast. 1 heal, 1 damage/cc, 1 utility instacast.

I won’t respond to anything else you said because you are obviously just here to defend DH, which isn’t the point of the thread.

ViciousFire.9137:

Then quit already.

From first post :
“Should I stop playing? I don’t want to stop, I love it, remember?”

Skyline Crash.6254:

Have you ever tried practicing more?

Clearly didn’t read, or trolling. Goodjob!

Highlie.7641:

“We strongly believe that regular balance updates are one of the key pillars of building a successful competitive game. As such, prior to each season, there will be a balance update. League play will generally begin about two weeks after a balance update to ensure that the metagame has stabilized in an appropriate manner. Balance will be closely monitored throughout the season with the goal of having solid balance going into the postseason tournaments.”

Thanks. Good to see that they are sticking to their promises as we have seen in the past… Oh wait…

And yes, I am being hyperbolic, frustration tends to do that.

Well, I am pretty sure this will be removed and infracted within minutes of posting. But it needs saying.

ANET, you done kittened up!

In response to two previous posts I made on a similar topic. First is negative and quite seriously close to me quitting PvP altogether. The second had me very happy at the prospects of the future!

First one – Tired of Hoping : https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/pvp/Tired-of-hoping/first#post5373354

Second one – Hope Returns : https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/pvp/Hope-returns/first#post5554073

Now how do i feel? Frustrated, irritated and almost disgusted in the lack of balance passes before leagues.

This is not how you start a competitive season.

But lets get into a few more detail :
For clarity, this is not THIS is OP, that is too strong or everything is whatever.
This post will PURELY focus on BROKEN mechanics that are inconsistent with previous skill design and goes against everything that should be considered healthy for a PvP game based on conquest.

Some examples :

1. Distortion(and other invulnerability) and contribution to capture point.
How is it that this is different on well of precognition? Which is a 5 target distortion?
Ive seen duo Mesmers bunker a cap to all living hell with them being completely immune to damage for great lengths of time.
They can savestomp with ZERO counterplay, which is unprecedented.
You can’t strip distortion.
You can’t cleave downstate people.
There literally is NO counterplay whatsoever.
The same goes for invulnerability(or take no damage) on other classes, druids specifically have so much flat damage mitigation that don’t count as a block while they are still able to contribute to cap.

2. Dragonhunter 2 points that i find complete BS :

2.1 Virtues being 10x better than on base guardian with essentially no trade-off.
Spear of Justice has a 20 second untrated cooldown, does a reasonable amount of damage both power and condition damage and the best part of all has a quarter second cast time which is almost untelegraphed and is an UNBLOCKABLE pull.
I mean COME ON! Who thought this was a good idea?
Compare that to the nearest other skill that does the same, magnet on engineer, which has a 25 second CD, one and a quarter second cast time and a very obvious animation and NO damage AT ALL but does the same thing.
I mean COME ON ANET? A 12 year old could see this is unhealthy for the game.

2.1 Instacast traps, they might as well not be called traps. So more unblockable, instacast CC, or if not CC, healing then.

Mechanically these don’t make sense and should not be instant at the very least.
I don’t care what you have to say about how easy DH is too counter or whatnot, mechanically broken. Period.

3. Revenant : despite being super overtuned in all aspects of the game, the Glint heal is just stupid mechanically.
“Stop attacking him”, and “l2p” cry the masses, however I say,
that in a teamfight, please tell me you would would stop attacking 2-3 other players just to avoid cleaving a glint heal? Because if thats the case, I don’t want to play this game anymore. If this was the ONLY heal the revenant had, i would be less worried and frustrated because they would be risking less dueling potential, but the fact that it isn’t, is MIGHTY frustrating and again BROKEN.

This isn’t an exhaustive list of broken mechanics or balance issues that exist in PvP right now, however, these are some examples that should have been noted and nerfed BEFORE even getting into BETA gameplay as mechanically unhealthy.
The fact that they have not been fixed post leagues launch a month after release is infuriating and almost unbelievable.

ANET, you done kittened up, but can you fix it?
Can you fix it and actually prove your balance competence in future?
When will you realize that PvP and PvE balance should be split?
When will you realize that a dedicated balance team THAT ACTUALLY PLAYS PvP regularly is required?

Once again, I am sincerely tired of hoping.

This happens to me almost daily where one frac level just don’t pick up.

YES I wait at the end, getting tired of redoing it OVER AND OVER again.

Nano.3706:

Don’t understand this obsession with cele to be honest, hits like wet noodle.

Haralin.1473:

Why are not the old bugs (which still not fixed) in your list it makes no sense to make 2 lists and 2 threads.

Starting new makes sense because the old ones are outdated.

Ill be working through the old list in time and add what I can.

OK it seems MDF still has no ICD, can someone confirm?

Can you please lengthen the time? We are 2 teams doing a recommended 8 man guild mission and the Queue times are making it impossible. Please fix!

Added the new ones, although I am awaiting further testing on MDF. Last time I tested it did not have an ICD.

Thanks guys, added them.

Curring.9752:

Could you add the one from my thread please?

Incendiary ammo’s burn duration increase is being calculated wrong in the tooltip;
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/engineer/Incendiary-Powder-2/first#post5757469

TL;DR – It is calculating it by increasing the base duration of kit/toolbelt burns by 33% and then increasing by 33% again – this is only a tooltip error, nothing major.

Thanks

Done! Thanks for getting the ball rolling

Right so the old thread is extremely long and hard to read and the OP has not been updated for near a month.

A fresh start is needed if we expect these things to be fixed. Lets make it easier for the devs!

I would like everyone to post their bugs here and I will update the thread as needed, please include a method to reproduce the bug or I will not be adding it to the spreadsheet. Everything will be done in the spreadsheet for less clutter and improved visibility.

New Google Spreadsheet :

Old thread :

I think we need to reorganize this thread in a new one. Its a bit hard to read.

This post hurt my brain.
If you think having no cast time on traps that CC and are unblockable and essentially allow you to spam, you REALLY need to rethink how logical you really are.

Elpredator.8523:

ANET can you please streamline this so that the client automatically parses different update servers on your side instead of stalling constantly.

Constantly hitting 0KBps or getting connection error.

FIrewall disabled.
Connection testing perfect.
Other games updating fine.

Been trying for the better part of an hour.

This issue seems to crop up from time to time, what am i supposed to do about this?

Anyone else having this issue?

Yes. I’m not getting an error but I frequently hit 0kb/s and it just sits. I’m overseas so the ping sucks (200-300) but this shouldn’t affect the speed this much

The normal client is doing the same thing now.

Tested my connection extensively, no other game has an issue.
Firewall disabled.
