yup they have been overbuffed imho.they are beasts in wvw atm because of that. it sometimes takes 5 people to kill 1.the heals are too much, the cc is too much and the thing is they dont need to give up everything to do decent dmg. the got toughness,healing, big dps, mass cc, mobilty,vitality all at once. a lot of classes have to give up at least 2 of those.
all i see atm in wvw is warriors everywhere, then necros, then guardians, then eles, then thieves…..and then after a while i see a few engis, then i see 1-3 mesmers in a 50man zerg and 1 ranger a day.
great balance anet!
5 to kill a warrior? You’ve got to be kidding. Also didn’t know this was the wvw part of the forums
I remember a dev mentioned they were working on something similar to raids for gw2. Is the revamp of tequatl and other big meta events anets answer for raids?
As OP let me clarify what I mean, I think this system is just SO off, why isnt there a system that cancels a solo queue at the start of the map that sais ok you are 4 vs 5 when the countdown finishes.
I’ve been suggesting this for ages and so have others haven’t heard anet comment on it at all it’s pretty sad. They marketed this game as esports and it seems to get the least amount of development time. I don’t know how they except to reach esports status when the pvp here is pretty much a side project
I don’t understand why anet doesn’t have a feature where if everyone doesn’t click ready before the game actually starts to make sure all 10 players are actually there. The game should not start at all if all 10 players are not present from the start it makes no sense. This would solve over half the 4v5/afker/etc issue
Well I didn’t work on any of my monthlies yet. Now I lost out on free achievement points hopefully this is reversed
I remember this happening before when they added laurels to the pvp dailies/monthly. If you had completed both the pve/pvp monthly you lost out on an extra 10 laurels
Hot join shouldn’t award any pts but that’s just my opinion. It conditions players to zerg everything and farm glory making ranks useless. The damage has already been done though.
Getting charged quartz is just a cheap way to get players to login. Who in their right mind enjoys going to a skill challenge every single day to repeat the same mundane task
This game is brought out by Anet, they are part of NcSoft. NcSoft is coming out with a new game which is called Wildstart. It will have a sub, but they will allow you to earn your sub ingame as you can use the first month free with the box purchase to build up enough in game cash to pay for your sub. Of course you’d have to keep that up every month.
My point is, Anet went B2P with microtransactions. If it had been a totally convincing success, I am sure they would use it again. But instead we see new MMOs coming out with subs. Wildstar is just one of them.
My guess is that Anet did ok for themselves but NcSoft’s financial reports show that GW2 is not making much more money than Aion this year. Certainly not much more as you would expect from a new game. So I’m sure it’s good enough for GW2 but apparently not for new games coming out to adopt this strategy.
And as much as players who don’t buy gems are part of the overall experience, the OP is right that they don’t bring in cash but do bring in cost. This game will only survive long term if enough people spend cakitten the gemstore. And that’s a simply reality.
Honestly I like subs better because it’s a filter for gold sellers but also because you can expect more quality of a game. GW2 looks pretty but the limitations of the game are also clearly showing by now. And if a company has 2 games and one makes 20 million per quarter and the other 24 million but has double the players and accompanying costs, then the first game is a better deal for the company. It’s just an example, but sales and profit margins are cold necessities for companies and they only come with income.
The game is called Wildstar. Also I can’t seem to find the information on their payment method. Where did you hear it was b2p then p2p
Same issue here I created 5 characters all as soon as the head start opened and none of them got a gift not like i’m surprised anet rarely tests anything they release.
I’ve done all 13 maps but i’m at 12/13. I haven’t d/c’d during any of the events. I’m guessing I have to re-do harathi or genddaran but that isn’t happening anytime soon because i’ve only seen those maps once over 25hrs
Pretty sure it is because your computer is still loading in the models so the pink ones are placeholders until everything actually loads in. If they didn’t do this you would probably still be stuck in the loading screen until everything fully loads. This is my guess
I don’t understand how we keep facing FA every week when they have more than double our score at the end. During primetime I login we are constantly outmanned in every borderland. anet probably laughs at how unfair the match ups are
Anet has 4 teams working on new PvE content, you can call that understaffed.
That is one aspect of the game.
What about dungeons they started revamping them with AC then they pretty much scrapped that idea because the dev working on it was moved to another team. Then we have fractals which haven’t seen much since launch. pvp gets an update for every 50 updates there are for pve. One of the devs even stated that they can’t split skills for pve/pvp/wvw because they don’t have the manpower to keep balancing it i’ll try find the post on this later. Pretty sure you play WvW yourself so you should have an idea of how much attention it gets.
They focus on living story for the simple fact that it brings in revenues when they keep pushing updates and introducing new stuff in the gemstore
I was actually depressed by that response. He said when/if. That means they defintely haven’t started on new maps. And they may never.
Don’t read too much into that type of wording. I’m just hedging because there are a lot of things we don’t talk about until they are close to release. We want to work on new maps and those maps are going to be awesome.
You want to work on new maps? Does this mean you guys haven’t even started? Dear god…
Anet is understaffed if you all haven’t noticed yet.
11 characters 5 are 80. I usually have every class maxed out but I dread leveling in this game it is the most boring game I’ve ever had to play when leveling. It isn’t too bad the first time around but after that I don’t know how people stomach it.
It’s not Liadri itself that’s alienating me from the game. It’s that the Liadri fight showcases lazy design decisions, lack of decent bug testing, and class favoritism more than anything else in the game. Basically, poor quality is shining through because of the intended difficulty of the fight mechanics. Class bugs I shrugged off before now become the reason why I fail the fight. Not being able to get into a flow because every third try has oozes in with Liadri, or another player fighting their challenge, or problems killing the orbs point blank is not “challenging”. It’s unacceptable in a timed event.
Its pretty much impossible to balance something where every class can do it equally. The only other option is giving set skills unique to the arena

not everyone got godlike APM and not every player hardcore.
not everyone have all day waste on a stupid challenge.
not everyone want to pay money and get annoy.
and i didnt use google translate.because i am chinese,this is my poor english.
but whatever ,you know my mean,that’s ok,
language is for communicaition,event it Grammer is wrong,i can let other know my mean,that’s ok for me.
Don’t do it then nobody is forcing you to do something you don’t enjoy
This content is challeging. To many people want it easy.
NO! People don’t want it too easy we want it to be challenging but not down right ridiculous. The stupid design of the dome making it difficult to see the AOE circles and the buggy camera are infuriating.
I used a ticket this morning and felt confident as i had fought her so many times, Upon entering i was instantly pulled to an Orb and shadow drop was on me before i could even get up. You tell me where the skill is in that.
The orbs and everything else spawn at the same time and same place not sure how you get instantly pulled you have like 5 seconds to kill it. The only thing g worth complaining about is the camera and difficulty seeing red circles oh and lag I guess. Everyone else is just peeved they can’t go afk and auto attack this boss beating it on the first couple tries.
This is mostly Anet’s fault they conditioned the player base being use to face roll content so when something somewhat difficult comes out they get paralyzed from the neck down.
This isn’t GW1 where you could change your build at will.
Other than my pride, my wallet is hurt from all the death and the retraining.
For those who say “then don’t do it”, what’s the point of releasing content that only a few types of people will enjoy? Some jumping puzzle are really hard but some are easy. Those that can’t beat the difficult ones can at least proudly say they succeeded at some of them. Also, the easy ones prepare you and train you for the difficult ones.
I’ve yet to fight a boss in the gauntlet I’d consider “easy” and I’m still at tier 1 :S. And since this is an event, we don’t have all the time in the world to train and practice to try to beat them. Not everyone can become a master of every combat mechanic really fast.
This is probably the only content that was released that “not everybody” can do
Yes WvW is a giant zergfest with side skirmishes with mainly d/p theives. Goodluck roaming and doing a 1v1 or 1v2 etc you will just be rolled over by a smaller zerg of 15 people midway through your little skirmish
Ever tried syncing with other players in Random arena’s in gw1?..it does happen..but very rarely. How bout we try this, you provide video evidence of you and a friend successfully snycing over and over again, and we’ll believe you. Otherwise it’s accusation without evidence.
There is a huge pvp population difference between gw1 and gw2
Stopped doing tourneys months ago because of afkers and premades. Seems they sort of fixed the premade issue but afkers and leavers are still rampant with the penalty
Took everything except the earthquake and the one that adds another boss. Chose subject 7 using a mesmer reflect build with a focus and feedback. After I had 3 wardens up it was pretty easy
Yes I enjoyed this boss even though it took me over 40 tries. The only issue I had was the camera issues oh and fps drops because it is placed where a bunch of players are zerging stuff below
Lol talk about hopeless this blows my mind I bet every time they lose to a asura they think to them selfs i would have won if he was a norn and vice versa. What a joke if you are unhappy with your race choice re-roll. I mean the fact that this was even brought up proves your baddies.
I played wow for 8 years and re-rolled idk how many times re rolled proffs idk how many times. Fought off quad boxed shamans, farmed at least an hour a day, and faught against gnomes for years with nothing to match. People like you guys kill games and the sheep that follow you are even worse. lol over 800 tpvp matches and this has never crossed my mind.
The event was pretty one sided. Ellen was portrayed as the “good guy” we played many missions with her. Evon comes out of nowhere even though he existed before making him shady and nobody likes charr they are the least played race. They also associated evon with something most players hate which is RNG. Oh and your average person thinks the wp savings will be significant. Then there were players that still don’t know the difference between the fall and death and Abaddon
I want the thaumanova fractal that’s why I vote for Keil, quite a few of the devs have said that fractal is far, far better than the Abaddon one, which apparently is medicore and disappointing…
Now I am off to vote 10,000 times for Keil…my poor finger…
I thought the devs didn’t start working on the Fractals yet? How do they know it is better that is subjective. Seems like they pushed for Ellen because they can reuse a lot of inquest models for the reactor fractal saving them a lot of time.
