-rank 41 guardian-
-Desolation EU-
it’s ok if you play in tournaments… you can just pay 4 vs 5 if guardian stand in 1 point and everyone skips him…
i have a feeling they patch it next monday
Many people have said that playing a bunker is fairly easy which explains why you see keyboard turning clickers able to hold a node with a bunker build, their playstyle is slow, plenty of room for mistakes, half of them can’t even defend against a burst and they eat the full burst, but not like it matters because one heal and they’re almost full if not completely full health. GW2 currently allows specializations to go way too far, you get ridiculous glass cannons and ridiculous bunker builds.
well bunkers like that only play in spvp… if you see someone playing like that in tpvp = 5 vs 4
ppl think guardians are “stronger” because it’s easier to play than other bunker specs
yea there might be more decisions, but those could be reduced if you have that bunker spec interrupting and rest of the guys killing players like they normally would do. cap in 3 sec? then you should reduce the time in bost of the knockbacks especially AoE ones… they would be way too strong
I guess you never played WoW RBG in AB where groups pretty much always had that 1 guy just spamming AoE near the flag and rest of the team killed players.
it would still be easier to interrupt flag if you had bunker guarding 2 flags and all the AoE this game has this system would not work tbh
you would still see bunker classes interrupting flag
Maybe you forgot to see how many times you got hit by orb of wrath?
you think ppl care about points in TPvP? i play bunker as well and i don’t care if i get 10 points in a game
think all the content you would skip if you lvl 80 with pvping
move ship to ruins and make that ship 2x the size… remove that cannon and remove those sharks
Hey, if you read the class designer post still on first page, you’ll notice that not only he finds it fine but he’s “watching closely” those pesky elementalists who were forced to completely kitten themselves and go full thoughness + vitality and full earth + water spec.
Apparently we are not meant to play, we are meant to be 1 shot and then play “spectator mode” while the others have fun.
you might wanna read that post few more times just to realise what he ment by that
thiefs needs that stealth… they are way too squishy without it, but mesmers need some fix with moa and survivability
How about Frenzy / haste / etc ruinning gameplay ?
I mean, killing someone in 3 sec is not what I call gameplay. That is uninterresting, and the only viable way to play thief (for instance) atm with no condition build is to play with haste… Because haste is really stronger than any crit based build.
If you find this normal, then forget that. But I just hate the “I win button” builds like 100B and Pistolwhip builds, because they have very, very, very, very, very low skillcaps.
Guild Wars 2 is the first MMO in which I see a buff such as 100% attack speed for only 150% damage taken (frenzy for instance) while is was 33% attack speed in GW1 with 200% damage taken.
Do you really plan to build any E-sport or skill-based gameplay with such broken mechanic ?
venom share is viable
Nice! finally some update
nice to see so much red today and i dont mean blood… <3 keep it up Jonathan
imo you should play like 20-40 games with each class and try different specs. I did that and found my love <3

My “main” is a necromancer. We have, 1/2sec fear to 1 character only.
Then I tried the Elementalist, and they can walk wherever they want for a short time… WTF?!
I suggest that in sPvP, al the professions in downed state need to have the exact Skill Set because if this pretend to be an eSport, Balance is the most important thing.
really… elementalist… ELEMENTALIST… they have the worst downstate E V E R… you could have picked like mesmer or thief

no thx… that was one of the reasons why i play gw2 pvp vs all other mmorpg pvps
but even if you get rickrolled in first round you can just que again
think about it when everyone joins that empty servers and you need to get ppl swapping from team to team… that would be just pain
because all the guardians go 100% cond removal?
for some weird reason i always think of Stacy Keach
yea.. players underestimate death blossom spec
go death blossom spec and stop autoattacking and use trait steal to remove boon
4 thiefs and 1 mesmer?
Blog post is still coming, just has been pushed out about a week, it is written and sitting in locs hands!
We found some major issues with the tournament backbone we’ve spent the last couple of weeks focused on making sure it’s 100% right before we start expanding any other functionality. We’d hate to for example start doing say…tournaments with more meaning, and suddenly have you not get rewarded, not matched up properly, etc.
We’ve almost got all that stuff ironed out, soon as we do we’ll follow up with blog posts about our plan for PvP/E-sports in the coming months.
Thanks for your patience folks and sorry for the misquote on timing. we were under the impression that stuff would get up earlier and wanted to wait until we were 100% sure we knew how it’d work after addressing the issues we found before talking about it.
Thanks everyone! Once new features start turning on, you should see them, and our E-sports support growing on a pretty rapid basis. Our goal is to be faster than the timelines of other major recent esports games like LoL after they launched in the rate at which we roll out competitive features and make sure we’ve got all the major pieces needed for long term success up and running. We know it’s very important to you, and it’s very important to us to grow and build that competitive gaming community.
Best,
Colin
is it possible to get this message as a sticky?

you should hire someone to write a short post about what you guys are doing that week and release it every Monday… there would be a lot less “useless” post asking the same thing all the time
Am I the only one more than a little disappointed that we don’t gain either coin or experience from sPvP? I can somewhat understand the reasoning behind it – but, to be honest, sPvP is my favorite aspect of the game, followed only by WvWvW.
I just wish that I could make progress with my alts, while still having fun with sPvP.
you dont use gold in spvp so why earn it? and you jump to lvl 80 so why would you get xp?
When i’m moa and use dodge my Selfless daring wont heal… is this a bug?
where did you get this info? can you link a graph that shows this?
last info is from 3 days ago if i remember right and they said that the blog is ready and they have to translate it etc etc.. so just w8!
he said in stream that the post is ready and editors are translating it to other languages

now he is playing pve with mesmer… i guess he forgot
atm rank 32 and getting pretty boring to stomp pug’s in Tpvp…
because it was totally impossible to write this post BEFORE the game got released?
Hi Arena net,
Out of my friends that play GW2, Only 2 enjoy PvP, So i thought great, let’s all PvP together, so we went to join an 8v8 together and were having difficulties, Then after looking for a couple of minutes we found out you can’t actually join as a group.
We then decided to try 5v5 sPvP because we could actually be on the same team this way, however after finally fining a team of 5 people, We couldn’t enjoy it because after losing to organised teams in the first round, our groups kept disbanding. It is too much hassle having to find random players and get them all on the same 3rd party team speak system just so you can PvP with your friends.
All i ask is for you to add a 2v2 or 3v3 “fun” deathmatch arena system. I don’t care if there is no ranking/rating system. I don’t care if i get absolutely no rewards from it.
All i want is a SIMPLE and fun way to play with my 2 other GW2 friends. At the moment all pvp is for me is grinding ranks, I am rank 12 and i really don’t see any reason to PvP anymore, it isn’t fun when i am not playing with friends.
wierd… i play with 3 play with group of 3 and we can win tournaments… even when we face teams, but we are rank 20-30 so i guess we just know how to play better than you guys
where is my blogpost
they have more important stuff to do like fixing pve
ITT= today i played free tournaments and got free wins
You can’t have rankings/ladders/competitive play at release. ArenaNet can’t foresee what balance issues, bugs, and exploits are going to arise until after the game is released. Nothing would be worse for a game with esport aspirations than players exploiting their way to high ranks. They are doing the right thing by sitting back and observing for a while. We just need to make the best of what we have while this game develops.
they could still make that post ready if they already know what they are making?
no control on warrior??? wtf man… you should see taugrims captain hammer build
We all thought that they are completely ignoring the pvp community, but once again they proved us wrong.
• Added the rank 30-39 wolf finishing move.
Now thats some new content for you. I tell you its ready to be esports now!
i would like to see that full blog about wolf finisher hahahaDD
but you still got him down and then you got him down 2 times again
so whats the problem then? you win him in down vs down -.-
and if i look at that log in the right… it shows you died at the same time with that thief?
and that mesmer
so you had no CD’s and he managed to do 10 HS’s and pwned yourkitten #8230; then you had CD’s and pwned heskitten 2 times.. whats the problem?
