Guild Wars 2

Its simple.
We handled Dragons once they run away from them. We can handle “Gods” as well.

Sorel.4870:

Zaruna, I’m not saying you’re wrong, but there are already countless threads about the whole “solo vs premade” complain, and all of those in which Justin checked the match history showed a HUGE difference between the player’s subjective experience and the actual match-making data.

Lolwhat. There was a difference between subjective and actual winrate. Numbers of premades, and especially partial premades was big, really big.

I hope “hide backpacks” option will come soon. Those wings are not belong to this game. Looks plain kittened.

5475.
no precursor drops, no MF precursors as well.

Firedancer.8350:

5 Matches is absurd, they don’t even ask for that many as part of a regular pvp daily. If you’re unlucky you play for hours without winning 5 matches, depending on who your team mates are and your opposition is.

To add more fun, you can be tossed into already losing team. Also 4v5 games is pretty common situation.

1. Forced to be played if you want daily.
2. Long.
3. Gives no rewards for winning.

Is that supposed to be fun?

Travis the Terrible.4739:

If anything the change to how fgs 4, dagger fire 3 and staff 4 worked was to bring ele damage down a tad in pve. They still do massive damage anyway.

Lolno. It was nerfed because some kitten (I wish he will have hiccups to the end of his days) used FGS to kill Foefire lord on one of public Anet tourneys, and they nerfed into the ground it immediately, because they care only about lolesports balance. Dagger and staff was nerfed only because they use same mechanic as FGS.

I made my ele look more like an Middle East sorcerer. Pretty happy with the result.

Instead of nerfing celestial cancer balance team prefer to nerf core game mechanic.

Patchi.9061:

staff eles all that much as they have a lot of blasts on their own

dafug I’m reading
And don’t even start about traits, we talking about weapon.

Random Weird Guy.3528:

People are asking for PvE to be harder, nerfing might slightly will make PvE harder.
Problem?

Visit HotW for a few times, then come back and tell me about nerfing dps again. Raising killing time does not making anything harder, it makes it only more tedious.

Josh Davis.6015:

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/preview-of-upcoming-balance-changes/

Dear Anet, please stop nerfing all game modes only because of pvp. Nerfing might instead of celestial amulet is not good solution.

2% of whispers will be: “That was a good fight! Let’s duel again?”
98% of whispers will be: “Lmao faget u so bad, #rekt plz QQ moar”

I have no idea how someone can protect literally “innocent mary sue” state of sylvari when Anet finally gave them a depth.

Cynz.9437:

they would have to bann every single ele in tourneys

That would be fair.

draxynnic.3719:

I’d wager they weren’t giving the best they had to the dredge, though.

Things thought as best by asura are almost 100% experimental and certainly not ones you want to buy for yourself, if you care about your health.

Ascimator.6735:

it still does prove that the asura warrior could reasonably disable the norn warrior’s asuratech weapons/armor.

Disabling a golem and disabling a weapon are different things. We cant see any examples of that in game.

Vieteriukko.6075:

What concerns me and is evident in the OP post is that new players can’t tell the difference between cele engi and turret engi. Now because turret engi is strong in low level pvp these new players get upset and call nerf for engies in general.

Actually I wouldn’ be surprised if any engineer using the crate elite would be confused with turret engi by new players.

Both turret and cele engi deserves nerf btw. Both are nobrains relying on passive game mechanics to win.

Ascimator.6735:

That didn’t stop Kudu from casually instakilling Mr. Sparkles in the personal story.

While being helpless during all other techno encounters. Like being unable to destroy protection in Toxic Waste room.

draxynnic.3719:

Regarding asura tech and gadgets specifically – asura are notorious for keeping their technology secret, from a paradoxical mix of paranoia about others stealing their inventions and an arrogant belief that no non-asura could understand how it works. Even when the asura are providing their tech to someone else, such as to the Pact or one of the nations, they also provide asura technicians so that it’s never operated by non-asura.

Selling ready-to-use weapons and selling technology is different things. As example, we can see SE, where Inquest have no problems with selling their tech to dredge.

Also for killer-switch commentary above – it’s very unlikely that one asura will know security secrets of another. They not trusting each other.

AsmallChicken.9634:

Top EU gvg team comes to NA to show us how its done, gets rekt, /gdisbands soon after.

I remember RG visits to NA, and remember NA zergs being nonstop farm for them, and remember that no NA guild was able to beat them in GvG. Overall EU wvw skill is way higher than NA.

Ascimator.6735:

Let’s assume that there are enough strength enhancements provided to both of them that they are roughly equal. The asura still is a smaller target.

Smaller means shorter range with weapons, weaker blows due to shorter weapon trajectory, harder to move around due to short legs, worse ratio body_weight/weapons+armor_weight (which means additional energy wasted or less weight can be carried), weaker natural damage resistance. There is a reason why almost no one heard IRL legends about mighty midget warriors.

Ascimator.6735:

I don’t remember any fighting sports that would include lethal weapons which may or may not be enhanced by magic/technoaether/spirits.

And what exactly will stop norn/charr warrior from getting same enhancements (buy from asuran lab as example) and maintain their superiority over asura warrior?

Three words: solo versus premade. This negates anything good by far.
Stop trying to please minority of teams by harassing majority of soloers. If team arena gonna die because long queues – this shall be a headache for teamQ players, not for everyone else.

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

i dun think an ICD of 9 s is required since default weapon swap time is 10 seconds, and even with the rune set, it would 8 s so yeah i think there’s no need for an ICD of 9 s at all.

Bundles count as weapons, so ICD is necessary.

Shockwave.1230:

I don’t understand why this is happening at all

Because esports. Nobody wants play teamQ and queue time is rising and rising?
Here is solution, lets kill soloQ, rewrite interface to drag maximum amount of people from hotjoin and force them all into teamQ as meat. Yay, it works!

Turrets must be also have weight. How it can be, turret dropping on your head and you taking no damage? It must oneshot light armor classes, take 8/10 health out of medium ones and 5/10 from heavy ones. Turrets are serious business.

Legendary count – 4, both GS included.
5117 hours played since headstart (and don’t know how much on beta).
17k+ AP, full ascended sets, bla-bla.
12 80 characters.
Dungeons/bosses/pvp every day.
Most expensive drop was 89g focus from Shadow Behemoth.
Precursors? What is is precursors?

I wonder how many such lucky people are here.

Play on TP.
15 charrs

Archon.6480:

The best part is they mix complete beginners into the solo queue against the teams. I think it is like you said, to boost exports ego. Why not only put level 80’s against premade teams, if you feel this is worthwhile. They’ll still have a huge communication advantage…

Yes, but devs ignoring that for some reason. Yesterday guildie who was playing spvp for literally few weeks tried to join ranked and got ROM and friends as opponents. I guess that was very “fun” experience.

No, we need to sacrifice enjoyable game experience of 95% players to pat 5% of those who play in teams. Because esports.

Rangelost.4857:

That would make matchmaking take a lot more time than it does now.

For teams. Q for solo will be actually shorter, because teams will be excluded. And since solo players are majority – why solo players should be forced to be in constant disadvantage?
If teamQ is dying – this is teamQ problem. Stop shoving your dying mode into everyone throats and trying to pull everyone into your grave.

Ryan.9387:

The ele combo does not give more damage. It does give more health but is a high skill combo that separates good players from the best.

Since when exploits are called skill, lol. Especially when all your “skill” is a few script commands binded on button.

Can this change be reverted, pretty please? Not everyone like to load into stack of 100500 afk people after every match.
Please give back old “Return into last location” button.

SoloQ is dead, and lots of people do not like being a free meat for tpvp teams.
When current arenas will become as dead as old teamQ (and it will not take long time) maybe anet will find someone competent for position of pvp development team leader.

Darnis.4056:

If you try to play(To get your daily on some random class you don’t actually play well) and roflstomp them they ban you..

Failing even at farm arena is something new, really.

SaintSnow.6593:

Why anyone is in hotjoin still baffles me.

Because this is only mode atm where you not automatically putting yourself into disadvantage just by pressing start button, only because anet want meat to plug holes in dying teamqueue.

Can we please just nerf amulets and not ruin AGAIN things like runes and basic buffs for wvw and pve?

Steinpilz.5078:

Then only people who want to train would use this arena mod, not people who already are very good and just want to farm.
The way it is now you cannot really use this arena for training.

Playing as meat for teams? No thanks, I’ll be chilling and doing random matches in practice mode and fun servers until soloQ will come back or lolezportz tpvp will finally die and free its place for something good. From what I see, second option will come faster.
And stop trying to force people to play your dying mode.

Anet is still trying to push esportz, and because nobody want to play teamq, they’re literally force everyone to play it.

BlueBoy.1236:

Then my point was right. No server ts? no map hopping? no one responded to map chat? no one tried to ninja stuffs? It’s pretty obvious your server just doesn’t have any intention to defend at all. EBG is like the most populated map, you always have ppl to do something. When you don’t have anything on the map, it’s pretty obvious you just don’t try to do anything

Wow, looks like we have a someone from a mythical server with crowds of selfless scouts who is happy to sit and watch 24/7. Pls, tell us a name of that magical place.

I playing this game since beta, participated in every piece if gameplay since then, and Bell Choir is a WORST activity in this game, ever. It’s not fun for beginners, requires lots of learning effort just to stop failing miserable and cause too much frustration.
It’s like throwing the ragtag team of spvp beginners into WSL tourney match and call this “fun experience”.

coglin.1867:

Your claiming ele and engie are as easy to play as a warrior?

Yes. Atm it’s absolutely nobrain specs where even paralyzed 1-hand blind monkey can give decent results. Proven by team comps.

coglin.1867:

That’s what they all say. Yet so, so, few prove it. You are going to prove it right?

Proving what, celestial engi and ele being new hambow while being even more 6 y/o kids-friendly? This doesn’t require any proofs, because anyone can see tournament vids, or even more simple, go to pvp match.

Sure, “it’s not my class is OP, it’s you shall l2p, all of you”. Pretty old story.

Nikkinella.8254:

People got used to eles and engi being free kills, and now that they have to exert the tiniest bit of effort and can’t just spam 1 anymore to kill them, they cry for nerfs. There are several hard counters for them that completely shut them down, people don’t want to adapt and expect to faceroll everything with the same build. “I don’t want to change my build even though doing so can completely make all of my opponent’s effort trivial and completely shut them down, so please nerf them so it’s easy for me again.” That’s all this is a case of.

And top pvp teams taking 2 eles and 2 engies just for lulz, right?

So, now we see teams with TWO engi and TWO eles in toppest tier tournament and right here we can read all these skillful people in start of this thread, calling them “balanced” just before. I laughing so hard.
#ele&engi pr0 ski11 met@ 2014-2015
Reminds me first months of game and “balanced” d/d eles.

witcher.3197:

As you don’t seem to understand reasoning by word, I had to try a different approach.

Talking to you rapidly makes me lose faith in humanity so I’d like to end this here.

Sure, bye. See you around when you’ll be writing angry posts about innocent pvpers banned for righteous resistance against dirty rank farmers.

witcher.3197:

Too bad Anet think quite opposite and have nothing against those servers. And even le funneh pictures are not helping.

witcher.3197:

Unless we consider rank farming a gamemode..

We are. It’s called custom for reason.
