Guild Wars 2

I am not really sure how they can nerf us further without destroying the class.

When you have a class that averages ~ 4k a hit and people have ~ 20k health there is going to be problems.

I think the fact I have enough Karma to buy a full set of Karma gear and only 1 piece of badge gear says there is an imbalance.

Guardian is a good GW2 profession…

But its like thieves, mesmers and warriors were made for a different game one where players all have 40k health and 5 or 6 stunbreaks and unlimited condition removal.

I am pretty proud of Yak’s efforts this weekend. Gj guys.

I get hit for amazing amounts of damage in this game, and not just by thieves, considering I have like over 3k armor. Toughness does not seem to scale as well as damage. This of course gets exaserbated by the thief who does the most damage off each ability.

Not to mention that the stats allowed in Spvp are not as diverse as WvW. For exampe there is no jewel for toughness and precision.

This is something they need to prioritise.

Thieves are not supposed to have perma stealth, but they can stay invisible for an eternity. Anet needs to address this. Atm they are a broken class.

Yak’s. Great community, great server.

I am more concerned with servers like Henge and ET losing their entire populations overnight, than servers like FA getting stronger. Having 1 weak server in a 3 way battle makes things bland more often than not.

Yak’s is more likely a T4 server and we are content with that. As stated TOG and OTG have real lives which are more important.

I would have even beene quite happy with FA fighting back and winning, had it not been for people bragging and belittling others on the forum.

I’ve used that build before. It is solid. Zeal is pretty weak traitline. The one you have is better. Blind Exposure is awful, basically equates to 1 sec of vulnerability.

I really like the people on Yaks. And we are busy in WvW every day.

They need to be lowered 60% or more.

I hope they redo the playing areas every 6 months or so. This would help keep them from getting stale. Warhammer Online never did this and whenever anyone returned it got stale again very quickly.

I am not sure where to suggest this but EB would make a great area for Guild v Guild, 2 or 3 hour battles of 25v25 or 50v50.

Btw I don’t think Darkness Falls would work. It worked in Daoc because it had serious grind. Being able to farm there was its own reward. Gw2 is not like this.

WvW needs some really awesome skins unique to its players. Lowering the badge pricing of gear would be good too.

I moved to Yaks a month ago and don’t regret it at all. A very positive server with a strong population in most hours. In WvW we are a bit thin in the OC timezone, maybe 50-60 strong in these hours, and need great help in the Sinagaporean and EU times.

Our NA guys stay up all weekend to bolster us, but this support cannot go on forever.

Honestly, #2 is mind boggling for me. The same devs in guildwars 1 recognized the same exact problem and headed it off by having 4v4 Random Arenas (Pug v Pug only) and 4v4 Team arenas (Premade or Pug).

Currently there is no 5v5 pug v pug format. Structured pvp is much more enjoyable with 10 players a map compared to 16 players a map (imo). The solution is simple. Create an spvp format capped at 5v5. Make it an exact copy and paste of 8v8 spvp in all other paramaters. How hard can this be?

I really think this stuff will be added shortly. I was genuinely surprised irt was not set up like this at release.

Oddly, a spirit weapon build just chews thieves up.

The glowy hammer just decimates them and your burst just chews them up.

The only use I find for Sanctuary is when portal bombing. Its cd is too long for anything else.

It would be nice to have more skills with shorter cd.

LMFAO can i ask where this happened cuz if it happend at arahs hope there was nooo hacking going on there. BTW im from GODS and an human male ele, i keep hearing that our ele’s hack, its call render rushing that or we are just better then you

Gods and Pro both really abuse the rendering issues. But that isn’t really cheating, just cheap.

While some of the fighting has been good. I will be happy to be done with FA. Unlike our opponents last week, witnessing all their whinging and bullkitten has run its course. Its like playing against a bball team that whinges over every call.

I ran something like this for a while. Damage and survivability were both good.

Lol where is the pvp community goiing to go? The mmo market is pretty small. Those who want WOW pvp are probably playing it already.

Back to their previous MMOs, if they feel the GW2 PvP has not met expectations, or new games like Planetside 2 and I’ve noticed in the case of many “pro” teams, seem to hold the competitve element above all else and many can be spotted playing games like LoL or DOTA 2 now.

Oh I agree somewhat. I decided today that if I was going to do spvp, I would rather play LOL than Thief Wars 2.

Planetside 2 eh? Will check it out. But for traditional MMO pvp. GW2 only has one real competator.

Hi all,

We have a fix for culling in Structured PvP but that fix does not yet extend to WvW or PvE. The issue is that Structured PvP uses small maps with small player counts so we have fewer challenges to overcome with regards to resources like cpu and bandwidth. We are doing the work to extend the culling fix out to WvW but that change will not be in the next patch.

I enjoy the WvW a lot. Anet has done a great job.

I am distressed that this issue is not a big enough priority for you to fix.

Thieves have made me stop playing pvp. I can usually beat them 1v1, but they often kill the people I am with in seconds, then its a 2+ v1. They need to be addressed.

Lol where is the pvp community goiing to go? The mmo market is pretty small. Those who want WOW pvp are probably playing it already.

I’d like to have a stronger role in keep warfare and massive zerg. But I have found a role in skirmishing, flanking and portal bombing. A true ranged weapon like a bow would make these situations a bit more fun.

What heals do Centaur Runes proc their swiftness buff on?

Dodge heals, AH heals, Monks Focus heals, regens?

You could limit portals to 15 people. Still devatating but counterable.

No argument from my side

So to clarify, yes there were more than 20 people at Greenlake (with 3 catapults) but 40 people did not use the portal bomb.

Last night’s fighting with TOG (+the other mix of YB players) was the most fun I’ve had this match.

Most of the night we were making decisions on what to attack based on what you guys were doing. For most of the Oceanic hours you guys were definitely getting the better of us (having taken most of FA BL and all of YB BL). I don’t think it was until late in the night, after we retook SMC, that we started to recover. But that was also near the time most of you had to leave for the night.

I’m hoping tonight is as much fun.

Nice to hear from someone with class and a positive attitude. There have been a lot of good fights this week. Keep it up.

We tried all night to draw FA into a fight but they seemed intent on avoiding us. I guess we just kept missing each other. Bit wierd…

Eventually we had a big battle at Stonemist where TOG annihlated you several times. Then I went to bed at 11:30 our time. Maybe you regrouped and killed us… I dunno.

Solo?

Hammer is more of a group weapon. But looking forward to any videos.

Necro can tear bunkers apart. Well of Corruption, corrupt boon = much hurt for the guardian or ele Bunker.

My survivability tripled when I made an Asura in spvp.

Some callings find it more difficult to get badges than others. I’d simply like to get more credit for supporting. It sucks when Ele’s and Thief’s get 10x the badges of other callings.

I’m glad they are fixing culling next patch.

Where did you read about that? Could you provide a link please?

They’ve tried fixing it before, ended up rolling the changes back. I’d love to see some new info on this.

As a guardian who always rushes in, I keep running into the invisible zergs when it’s too late. If they are really fixing it, I am going to be one happy dude!

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Please-fix-this-sooner-rather-than-later-Vid-attached/first

Culling will be addressed next patch, bug whether that fixes this problem is hard to say.

Mesmer

Portal bombing is essential.

Gap closing a zerg is really dumb. There are times I want to stay at range. I want to have a decent 1200 range weapon. Atm we don’t have one. The orbs miss more often than not.

Yeah there was some tanky Ele running around yesterday. 10 pple couldn’t kill her. After a min gave I up and wandered off somewhere else. 10 people couldn’t dent her health bar. Was she cheating? I dunno. I got more important things to worry about.

Also had a Ranger hit me about 30 times in 3 seconds. Again, I got more important things to worry about. But it was very suspicious.

Its clear WvW would be better if Eu and NA were not seperated. Was a pretty big blunder to seperate them.

I agree with all of Fell’s points. I worry about some classes though. If you nerf their bunker builds, how will this affect their mixed/balanced builds?

Not to mention the fact that the classes are kinda limited and you end up with 2 or 3 bunkers and at least 1 mesmer. Pretty boring class match ups.

Character countering is one of the best things about LOL.

OMG the golem army is just hilarious. If you have to lose a keep you want it to cost 30 gold. I woulda laughed myself silly.

Very few people are doing spvp and even less doing tpvp.

LOL is an esport because the people who play it all do pvp.

They need to get people doing it more often. Atm its intimidating. I find it intimidating and I’ve played 700 games. It desperately needs a ladder system.

In WOW people are attracted to it because it offers rewards. It needs skins that you can use in the real world.

Can someone link me the build with 17000 toughness?

It works ok. I quite like sword/torch and mace/focus. I did quite a bit of content quite easily this way.

Sword shield in contrast was very slow. I can’t reccomend it.

Scepter: Hitting less than 10% of the time in pvp for maybe an average of 700 is not an effecive weapon in this game.

I used it from a keep today since it was a long siege and I was bored. I reckon it hit less than 10% of the time. Its the single worst weapon in the game.

The chains are ok, but unless someone is kitten Smite only does a little damage to them. Even held by chains, I doubt it does more than 2k to anyone. A little pathetic.

I’d love for our staff skills to be more like the Necro or Ele. Big pits of nasty and helpful stuff. I’d so remove the orb and put in a regen + condition removal pit of blue fire.

I am also annoyed that the haste from staff does not seem to stack duration with Mesmer haste at all.

The 5 on the shield should work like the warriors but be traited to heal you a portion of the damage.

Scepter is garbage. The times you want to really use it, in a zerg v zerg, it hits nothing.

I find it odd there is no dueling.

8v8 feels zergy to me. If the maps had more points (ie Dominion in LOL had 5 points) and were a bit bigger it might not be so zergy.
