Guild Wars 2

I faced a team with 4 guards while 3 were on my team.

This wts was honestly just a classic case of egomania becoming too much. EU has been going years of firmly believing they are vastly superior to NA and tcg just didn’t practice nor care as much bc they believed that NA would be such a easy pushover. They came into the not nearly prepared as the Abjured was, who have been practicing endlessly scrimming with Absurd and other teams.
Tcg is composed of great players but they just let their egos get the best of them and it cost them. Hopefully now, we will see a different attitude towards the NA side of things.

I still think toker has better mechanical skill and technique than sizer.
Though original jumper will always be the forefather of the s/d upcoming.

I’ve been queing in both unranked and ranked but since everything is unranked it doesn’t really matter. I’ve been winning almost all my games unless I get the really bad players that have no idea what to do and no matter what it’s impossible to carry them even when you win 1v2s at far. Hardly ever are the teams fairly balanced enough that the games are somewhat close. Courtyard I’ve only lost once bc the team couldn’t for the life of them, grasp the simple fact of sticking together, targeting and bursting.

The current dishonor system isn’t even active atm so wait to see what it entails before spouting stuff.

What exactly is the point of changing up the forums. What was even wrong with it in the first place?

They might bring the fused weps back. They like to circulate more of an item into the market. Might do the same with the molten jetpack too. But yea the winter weapons finally came back so there’s proof.

People will select maps due to their easiness as well as to tick others off. Just like how players will que up and purposely not accept and continuously reque. Expected in the internet.

@uberkingshlong I seriously believe there is something wrong with your mental state.

Like I’ve said before, it’s happened to me, twice in one match.

Agreed, if your team can handle the simple aspect of sticking together, targeting and bursting then you will win the initial team fight at start and then proceed to camp their spawn afterwards. Only coordinated teams could make a comeback by actually regrouping and leaving the spawn at once (trying to get a PuG to do this is impossible. Trust.)
If they really want to keep this map during off season etc they need to reconfigure it so there can be some counterplay even in uncoordinated teams.

Seiishizo.7162:

updates like this really makes me wonder if any developer actually plays the game

oh they do, just not how we do.

Update: Now you randomly spawn on the enemy team.

the festive hat returned so its plausible.

You can now not swap skills during the pre-match timer. So classes like necro cannot pre-stack lifeforce and eles cant give team swiftness with staff.
This is a huge blow to necros.

Still no ears or glasses but the festive hat has made its return! Hope still lingers! AND THAT MAIL GRIFFON DOE!
Edit: And the winter Bl weapon skins returned as well. Hope is more restored. (That price drop)

China loves necros. So expect that and engi and ele.

Them gems don’t put dinner on your table and a roof over your head. Nobody is making a career off gw2 here.

Aaron is mike. Aka backpack. Cmc is cmc
PS: glorious armor looks like crap and who wants llamas..nothing special here.

So you want wurm to be like thief ’s shadowstep? Get the Tele instantly and be able to return back to the wurm? I think the wurm is fine mechanically, I would just lower the initial cast time summoning the wurm.

All day baby, allll day.

Oh liv….why…

“Mist Form, Elixir S and distortion now interrupts stomping and you will not be able to stomp while these effects are up. When you are stealthed and try to stomp u gain Revealed for 3s.”
Just add this and i party hard

Safe stomps are needed to allow strategic gameplay and win teamfights. With the player choosing to use this to guarantee a stomp, they are using up a serious defensive utility that could end up costing them later. If this wasn’t possible, teamfights would be boringly longer than they are already. Stability only lasts just so long and can be stripped.

So classes interacting to further the utility or damage of a skill. Like powerrangers all jumping into a large mech suit to destroy kitten. As good as this sounds on paper, it would be honestly too much and frankly too good.

Anyway, I think cele is fine since the two professions that use it are also fairly hard to play[maybe not turret engi, but y’know] in the first place. I’d say nerf the “Experimental Turrets” trait, which gives buffs passively based on the turret. In this way, the engineer gains perma-buffs and puts them on a stupid advantage. Maybe shave turrets and compensate with buffing elixirs and gadgets to become viable.

Wait, how is ele/engi hard to play? Is it the 2 many buttunz?
PS Celestial isn’t the issue. Literally 2 classes benefit from it so how exactly is it “op” again?

when team comps needs 2 of each to be able to compete.

Edit: As I watch the NA finals with a team comp of 2 engis and 2 eles -_-

There is no law or rule in the current meta that states “in order to compete in this tournament your team must have 2 engis and 2 eles”. This is literally only happening in NA and because 2 of Abjured’s (for example) current members main engi.

So what you’re saying is you would like to see more skills that allow other players to interact with? Things like portal and IoL for example get the most benefit with coordination, which seems you want more of. That only happens with communication which is non existent in hotjoin/solo que and even in team que if it’s just a PuG.
There has been talk of trying to implement a possible “wheel” with basic commands that one can easily navigate through and put in chat to notify your teamates of what your plan is. Kinda like what the current system in LoL is.

Amir.1570:

Mesmer still has too many evades honestly, all of their stun breaks should just get deleted. You shouldn’t be allowed to have everything.

Instead of nerfing Warrior adrenaline they could’ve nerfed Warrior stun breaks, too bad ANETs too illiterate though.

How does not being able to read have to do with your disagreement in their balance changes?
Honestly I think they have taken good steps towards the excessive dodging. I feel eles still need a vigor nerf as well instead of leaving them, I find this to be a must change to taper down the ele and bring it more into balance. As for theif, it’s only feline grace that’s the issue. It’s activation is too frequent. The other evades really shouldn’t be changed anymore than they already have and something like increasing the cd slightly on withdraw might be detrimental. Necros don’t have vigor in the first place and it would be nice to give them some access to it themselves instead of relying on passives from other classes. Yes they have shroud as the defense/sustain but shroud gain is very limited and once it’s gone they are easy picking. They need to have some better access to other sustain besides relying totally on shroud alone.

Wait there wasn’t teamwork in this game? Ohh you mean hot join and poor solo ques where no one gives 2 craps and does what they want more or less.
Basi venom can be “team based” if you use venom share…lul. But seriously look at things like renewed focus and basi and the build/class that uses them. Thieves are meant to be selfish, they just roam and burst. Medi guard uses RF, it’s glassy, it needs to be selfish. SoR? How would you want to make this “team based”? Give give everyone the buffs? That’s a bit much. ….Supply Crate? Why the hell was this even mentioned? It’s one of if not the best elite in the game..amazing team support and it wins duels enough said.
PS Wakkey uses tornado, it’s hilarious but it works fine.

I honestly don’t get any lag spikes unless it’s on my end.
edit: I’ve played multiple times in a effin Starbucks before on my laptop with out lag issues. Granted their Internet is supplied by Google but still, there could be like 10 other ppl on the WiFi and I can still play gw2 just fine if I want.

Yup.

You make it seem like anet is running the game off a couple of server mobos in some sweaty dudes basement. Gotta check that on single solitary ethernet cable.

Liv these aren’t bad. Honestly. Though there are some that seem off. I don’t exactly think removing a freshly new blast finish on frozen burst would lead to the perfect meta. This isn’t exactly game changing. Your change to static discharge would yes make it harder to counter since the lightning strikes are instant but it would significantly lower the damage of this build, since the current chain lighting bounces between targets allowing you to hit multiple foes while still making it counter able through blocks or reflects. Also how would changing the downstate grapple to a blockable magnet be any different? What make it invisible? Finally putting a cast time on necro mark activation would actually be pretty bad for a weapon set that has been slowly pulling it’s behind out of the fire. Trust.
Ps: ideally it would be best to make blast finishers in fire fields and battle sigil only give 2 stacks instead of 3 now.

I claim Gaile Gray.

@Backpack: Decent list more or less, lol @ Gibbly.
@kako: You’ve got some spunk, but that’s good. No one’s harassing you, all is well here girl.
@Caed: You’re thirsty
@uberkingshlong: Nhym maybe likes men, but that’s fine, not a problem. He’s still a mediocre 1v1 player. Teams? He’s aight.
@hatuey patuey: I don’t even..too much esports there. No comprende.

Splish splash I was takin a bath

Gaile this is it. Have them bring in the bunny ears and wide rims glasses for the sale. Come on it needs to happen.

This build…no words.
#mindblown

Of course this game has an amazing combat system. And finally we are at a stage where anet is smoothing out the many rough edges that came with it. So much potential that is finally realized hopefully.
Also @Arken, you serious? The old metas were disasterous. You think ele is “op” now? Back then ele was godlike and 5x better than this. Warrior then was a useless pile of bricks as were necros. Engis could one shot you with hundred nades, mesmers had no LoS limits on their phantasms and clones, thieves could one shot with mug/c&d combo and don’t get me started on quickness…effin timewarp = the “we won this teamfight already kthnxbuhbye” button. Fun maybe while it lasted but I don’t miss it at all.

I repeat, op you’re bad at the game.

P.S. Necro is only a risk if you make it. Otherwise you feast on any class no problem. But basically 80% of the necro player base can’t think past their left nostril.
#splishsplash2014 #watertoogud #thirsty

You’re bad at the game, get over it.

Just saying jumper is terrible right now. The person playing on that account couldn’t possibly be old jumper. How can you be salty of such a mediocre player?

Read the ready up notes. These changes are top notch lads.
Praise da lawd it’s happening.

So what it looks like is, you’re a guy, you play a female character, people think you’re a girl, they get salty, they berate you with slurs against women and thus you get salty.
I play a couple female characters and yet I havnt received sexist slurs. Looks like you’ve been a magnet to the frequent grade A permavirgins that dwell on mmos.

wait..autorun?

Ouroboros.5076:

Did you get banned or infracted or what ?

It’s called quiting the game and moving on. People do that you know.

No matter what I play, I listen to swing, jazz, doo wop from the 50s and 60s.
Some good old Satchmo never hurts.

Heard that, I want my khaki shorts as a armor piece not some stupid tonic I never use now. Way to put my past gem purchase to waste..

I don’t think I’ve experienced this yet but I will say what has happened to me is getting cced while going into plague form. Even though the stability boon is visable. It’s like only in the initial activation.

Just wait, necros will have their day and soon we will have fotm necros running all over and we will all be hipsters being like oh I was playing necro before it was cool and whatnot.
