Guild Wars 2

It’s so sad, I hope a dev comes by this thread and feels ashamed

Thesilentflute.8761:

Lol every class feels this way because necro and engi have such over powered aoe. The “balance” of these two classes was a complete failure at anet both at their understanding of class balance and player communication. The saddest part is that we are right at the door step of their big tourney with the worse balance and play the game has seen in spvp… it’s a shame.

Eles are not just in a bad spot. They are in the worst place they have ever been while the other classes are the strongest they have been until now. The more they “balance”, the more imbalanced the game is

Avead.5760:

Finally this came up!!The problem is that anet nerfed ele so hard which was justified in THAT meta..And then they went and buffed so many things in so many levels.
Then the condi meta happened and found an ele with lowest health in game ,survival based on healing which was heavily nerfed and also nerfed cond removal in water line..
I personally feel like i have turned from a 1vs1 beast into a 1vs1 noob against anything thats used atm (when played by players on their main char :P )..And dps ele is just the result of making sustain ele useless in this mess of cond spam.

Its also really important to notice how signet of restoration is VERY weak now.They nerfed its healing by 20% and then they also removed the healing from dodge rolls in evasive arcana and earth 2 on scepter.Thats so much loss of sustain that ll make you cry when you calculate it down

he knows what he is talking.

They nerfed our healing because it was too much. They nerfed our condi cleanse because it was too much. IN THE PAST.

And then they buffed other classes making ele useless crap

Ranked games (team & solo) should give 2x times the amount of glory you get in hotjoin.

LOVED IT

Blimm.5028:

Rerroll, elementalist was overnerfed on the bunker side. But his burst is unmatched. Just reduce condition spam a little and ele will be top notch again.
And even with the condi spam. Im learning to duel condition professions right now with my glass ele. I frequently beat them. Tho I need to be a lot better then them skillwise it is possible. If it cheers you up I can put up some YT video of me instagibbing some rangers/thiefs/necros :P

Ok that cheers me up. It’s nice to know I can defeat other classes when I’m a lot better. Thanks to this eles will have a way lower soloq ladder than they deserve, because they will probably lose vs equally skilled condispammers

Elementalist is one of the weakest classes in the current meta. It has been nerfed too much while the other classes received new builds and many buffs.

Eles have been nerfed month after month because anet only balances according to the forums QQs, and there were many towards ele.

With every balance patch this game is more unbalanced, and anet will realize after they see the soloq ladders full of necromancers, rangers and thieves

A bar that fills a little bit every time someone QQs about a certain class in the forums. When it’s full, buffs & nerfs happen.

Yeah, they should reset it

Maybe they should copy wow where you can queue as dps, healer or tank

Staff will never be fixed

Tyler Bearce.3427:

Solo Arena, map randomization and the leaver penalty are all coming at the same time.

Made me reinstall

Evan Lesh.3295:

2) Random map rotation is coming.

<3

We dont need more conditions

JonPeters.5630:

Still on vacation so I can’t go into too much detail but the PvP team has a blog coming with details before the patch hits. That should explain exactly how solo arena works. How it impacts team arenas, as well as other smaller stuff that impacts this part of the game, but wasn’t big enough to be listed in the overall marketing piece.

Don’t forget to prevent sync

Now give us duoq & random map and the game will have everything it needs!

if it doesn’t come next patch i’ll be very sad

QQ

anet should stop wasting time with minigames and release a full game mode

really cool buff

Invisible patchnotes

Soon.

bump to 1st page

Don’t judge by forums. Most of the users are low ranked players that complain when they are killed in hotjoin.

Also everyone cries about how weak his class is because everybody knows Arenanet listens to QQ

+1

Id implement a daily 3 round tournament with gem/gold reward. Also, once lose you can spectate the other matches.

shadows wolf.6928:

well it has been a little while is it time to come back yet?

People in the forums will always tell you no, but GW2 has improved a lot and I think it’s worth trying

Rerroll.9083:

The leaks are not fake

However, they are not the definitive notes. They are not 100% accurate.

Proof?

:D

as long as you are not the only one in the team

still lf

no, pls

The leaks are not fake

However, they are not the definitive notes. They are not 100% accurate.

You still need 30 in arcana. The new builds

0-30-0-10-30 – dps
0-20-0-20-30 – dps/heals
0-0-20-20-30 – bunker

Fire still 0 =(

Fresh air is awesome.

Ingame name: Rerroll

Main Class / Potential Classes (Incase team requires):

Main class is elementalist. I’ve played it for 1600+ hours since 28th august and I’m currently rank 48. I’ve centered my efforts on learning the class well, so I know how to play every weapon/utility/build in the ele class at the highest level. I’ll probably adapt to the new trait/meta changes coming next week really fast.

Region: Eu

Practice Times: 24 hours /7 days

Experience:

I used to play in [UP] Underplayed back in the 3 round paid tournaments days. I haven’t been in a serious team since then, but I’ve played a lot with people I know ingame.

When leaderboards were released I used to be in the top 50th. Right now im way lower (I think 200ish) because I don’t care anymore and I soloq/pug as much as I can.

What I’m looking for:

• Preferably an already formed team but I could start a new one as long as I know the team is worth it

• A team aiming for the best places in the upcomming tourneys and trains hard.

• A team that can compete with the best pvp players out there.

• A team where no one rages. I can’t do my best when someone is shouting all the time at his team mates. I understand that sometimes discussions can be intense, but I don’t want them as a habit. If I don’t feel comfortable because players in the team are always mad I’ll leave asap.

Btw, as you may have noticed my english is not the best. However I’ll do my best to communicate properly when using voip

Really good patch so far. Stop whining.

We need the balance before the implementation of soloq, since no one wants the bottom of it f ull of warrior/necros

Yeah sure, let’s give the highest healings to the classes with highest HP pool. Perfect pvp balance!!!!!!111111111111

This is my sad face

Calae.1738:

I know. Competitive players like myself will just remove GW2 when a different studio decides to take competitive PVP seriously.

I’m sure you’ll be a huge loss.

1) Soloq in a random map rotation
2) Better rewards based on leader board position
3) Deathmatch mode

Make ratings visible. This way we will be able to see if it works properly or not.

Downstate is awesome. Makes the battles more interesting and teamwork more rewarding.

Downstate is terrible. Makes the battle frustrating for skilled players by forcing them to watch unskilled noobs rubbing each other’s genitals.

actually, skilled players co operate and play together as a team.

unskilled players go solo rambo and wonders why they cannot perform well.

I like how you generalize teamwork in such a one dimensional angle.

What if players had tools to prevent their allies from taking damage? That would certainly require more skill than to “go down” on someone and rub them.

What if we had…

But no, we don’t have so many tools to prevent allies from taking damage. What we have is downed state, and it’s the only mechanic adding depth to the game, so we better keep it.

wat

I think the OPness come from all traits that give extra effects to dodge rolling.

Legendaries only given to top 10 players, When they lose their top 10 position they lose the weapon.

I want to punch whoever said legendaries for glory.

Find me 5 skilled players against downed state please.

With skilled players I mean someone in the top 150 of the ladder.

Calae.1738:

Why is a player allowed to heal themselves in a downed state? Why is it fun to stand on the ground; not being able to move and slowly healing yourself?

Why is a player allowed to interrupt a stomp? What does this do other than delay the inevitable in certain situations? Delay death long enough so that your friend can cover up your bad play?

Why is a player allowed to rally from a downed state when one of their targets that they hit is downed? Doesn’t this promote bad play by making players tag as many targets as possible to increase the chances of rallying? Some classes can abuse this more than others by delaying their death long enough.

Why is a mechanic that promotes unskilled play even allowed to exist in a competitive environment?

“Downed state promotes unskilled play”

this made my day

My counter-suggestion: don’t try to change things that you don’t understand

Downed state is the only mechanic making the pvp in the game worth playing, imo.

Most people asking for the removal of it are hot join heroes, that don’t want to stomp to get their glory.

Meanwhile Staff is singing

Juan Ignacio.8903:

lol after 10months u still have some faith left

One day i’ll manage to understand the reason you come to these forums every day to bash the game and say how dead it is.

I dont usually agree with lordsoricky threads, but this time he is so right.
