Why did you answer your own question?

It’s worrying that so few people in the forums have noticed how strong are hgh engineers lately. They are not midtier at all, imo

Has been discussed already, everyone seems to agree but arenanet is not likely to implement it.

Was a really good player

interesting, but im not sure if the focus should be new maps when we can only play 1 every 3 days

Blu should be the president of arenanet

follow this link and post there if you think the game should be in the esl

http://www.esl.eu/eu/forum/139/166/1034709/?page=3

this thread shouldn’t be moved to linksville.

thanks

Good luck with your team

killing is funny

Random map should be top priority now, IMO

Looks nice. GL to everyone

Kwll.1468:

How about no there are other things to work on for the time being. The people that play eles are some of the loudest most privlieged acting people on these forums. Its like : I played the best class in the game for months and they finally take some decent nerfs, while still being pretty strong, and isntead of waiting for the dust to settle we need to have to have a bunch of fixes TODAY! There are so many broken builds and things across the board that need to be fixed for just about every class. Get in line nobody wants to hear all this whining.

So because a certain build was OP, all eles are guilty and we deserve to be weaker for a few months as punishment?

“If you get blinded, I’d love to know how at 1200 yards away.”

You know you don’t have to be at 1200 yards to use RTL right?

The real problem is we got from 1550 yards, 15 secs CD to 1200 yards 40 secs CD. This is a huge nerf to a core skill that wasn’t the root of the problem.

1550 yards in 15 seconds: 103,3 yards/sec
1200 yards in 40 seconds: 30 yards/sec

nerf% = 100% – [(30*100)/103,3]% = 70,96% nerf. This is a huge change, when anet has always said they would do little nerfs. But the QQ in the forums is too powerful.

Many people still complains about eles, by inertia.
After patch: “Aight lets see how’s the balance. Look! One ele! Ill try to kill him! I dont know any of his skills nor how to counter them, but who cares, I have trained vs golems! … Oh he killed me, and I’m very good player! Eles must be very OP. I’ll make a thread in the forums”

+Best
Ranger
Mesmer, Guardian
Engineer
Elementaist
Warrior?
Necromancer
-Worst

People still placing ele as best and warrior as worst. lol.

Was given to top Qp players.

You cant get it anymote. Qps were gone with paid tournies removal

If focus had cleansing wave it would have a very good bunkering at the cost of zero mobility. The good condi removal of focus would allow eles to play other utilities.

A good use of certain conjured weapons (light hammer) would provide a knockback to the build. Other conj weapons could be used, if they were not so buggy.

In the other hand, dagger would have more cc an less heal/condi remv but good mobility; feeling like a real dps class.

Guza is bringing a very good point.

Right now we have only one viable offhand which is nerfed. Dagger has over nerfed mobility and nerfed sustain (we were supposed to be roamers, thanks for the 1200 every 40 seconds)

By switching water5 skills we would have two viable offhands. One for bunkering (with no rtl) and one with good roaming/cc but way less sustain (Revert rtl change)

It would have been an intelligent nerf that would have opened many build possibilities.
Instead, they tried to nerf cantrips but they nerfed the less viable builds: dps/roaming ele, staff ele, glyph ele, signet ele, ether renewal builds (mistform)…

They try to nerf cantrips, but they dont know they are forcing us to play them because of the general healing nerf. Keep nerfing the dps ele sustain and everything youll see will be boring bunkers with zero mobility = boring class.

In other words, imagine each build had a rating:
Cantrips 10/10
Sd Dps 7/10
Dd dps 8/10
Staff support 5/10
Focus builds 4/10

The nerfs lowered every build by 3
Cantrips 7/10
Sd 4/10
Dd 5/10
Staff 2/10
Focus 1/10

Conclusion: keep playing cantrips. By the time the right nerf comes to them, other builds will be kitten

For the: “omg nerf the ele i dont know a single skill of that class and i lose they must be op” crowd. After the nerfs, being a dps ele you have nothing to do vs an equally skilled engi or ranger. They do more damage, they have more sustain. And also, eles mpbility is reduced so you are
A) forced to die. Its very difficult to disengage even if you know you are likely to lose before engaging
B) forced to play full bunker builds. You wont kill them either, but at least they will have to bring 2 to kill you.

Before the patch I knew ele deserved a nerf, but I wasnt worried because I thought anet knew how to do it. I was so wrong.

Check his stream, very good stuff.

This is the best thing gw2’s pvp has had since release.

gn!

Bug? Or am I too noob?

Mistform should be reworked in some way.

If you nerfed it’s effectiveness either lower the too high CD or do something about conditions hitting you while in mistform.

Mistform also interrupts your casts now, which didnt come in the patch notes.

Did anyone figure out how to make the arenas 5v5? I set the team size to 5, but my arena won’t start until we are 10v10 oO

Use smite voice commands!

VF1: enemy missing close!
VC2: Be careful middle!
VRR: Retreat!
VGG: Good game!
VGN: Nice job
VVG: Gank!

GW2 would be:
“Enemy incoming close point!”
“Trebuchet is shooting!”
“Attack svanir!”
etc

He’s good, hire him!

It’s nice to see an increase in population, but it’s very clear that the servers cant handle it.

Today lag has been present all the afternoon, and now there are big spikes for only certain people.

If you want the game to grow, an increase/improve in servers is very much needed!

Talking about EU

You are very welcome in the community

server down

Combat is exactly the same, and I think it’s the most enjoyable once you are used to it

RTL cd back to 15 or 20 seconds.

It’s now affected by slows

Distance fixed to 1200

You are welcome

Try to play close point mesmer in a high rated match. Hardest role, imo.

Any game mode would be welcome, imo

but i think arena deathmatch is the one that suits most to gw2. Fast, easy and fun. Even if it wasn’t main mode, it would teach people how to teamfight properly

We definitely need more game modes.

cocaftw.4279:

Well only speaking for my Team, we are comming back with CA`s and i am sure that a lot of the players on the List will do the same. Few werent even gone like u marked us on the List, we are not gone we were just waiting for CA`s and i know for a fact that few others did the same. If only 1 Player of the Team actualy need acces to the CA`s and can invite others with no acces we can give away 3 CA`s accesses and i think other Teams will do the same, so a lot more Teams can test the CAs than mentiond on the List.

nice

BigTeeHunter.4913:

Kraken title pun unrelated.

Hi. I am a former GW2 spvper, who quit roughly around December after spvp consisted 3 teams dominating a paid tourney that would pop roughly twice or three times a night.

I am now finished a whole pile of work, and keen to get back on something, so thought to myself, why not see if GW2 has picked up it’s act yet.

So, simply, before I download the entire game again, what is the state of tournament pvp currently. Has it improved / what has changed?

swag

It’s slightly better now. Tournaments are only 1 round and you fight someone with similar rating than your team. You earn rating by winning, you lose it if defeated. Tournaments are available 24/7

Hopefully, next week (introducing custom & spectator) it will get better

rarebo.1073:

Yeah, tournaments are more like 5v5 hot join now. It’s sad that it had to come to that. Considering the reasons you left , you will likely enjoy SPVP alot now and with the custom arenas and spectator mode inc. There ain’t been a better time to come back.

It’s far from perfect however.

only true at low rat

Who knows. We’ll see after the nerfs

I also offer my arena (will be up since release) for any tournament play. PM me if anyone is interested in hosting something

thanks for sharing

Role – Best class for the role

mid point bunker – Guardian
Close point deffender – Mesmer
Far point assaulter – Ele (and maybe ranger after cantrip nerf)
Roamer. Helps close. Helps mid – Glass thief
Teamfight dps – Most classes work for this. Both aoe and condi builds work fine.

Can devs reply the thread or they have to NERF NOW?

A league has to come. We need it.

Someone is trying to organize it:

guza.6170:

Will the top 50qp players get a free starter kit for custom arenas as a reward or will we have to buy one?

top 50 qp shouldnt have much problems with gems

Zinwrath.2049:

what about those of us that already bought our custom arena?

As customers (we already paid the tokens) we have the RIGHT to test the custom arenas too! Most top 50qp dont play anyway, why not top 50 ladder?
