Guild Wars 2

i bet that thief had assassin signet and hidden killer… that spec is not that new tbh

Overlord.2091:

This thread wins!

3/4 of the post completely ignore the ss that showns something is seriously broken becasuse they still believe the game is “balanced”. The current thief class got adjusted significantly AFTER the the last bwe. Now it needs adjusted again, and again, and again, until its not broken.

Hint: L2P is fail defense of a broken class and 2-shot kills isn’t “balanced” by any measure.

lol he runs with 950 toughness ofc he gets kitten up

still trying to find that mesmer

MeVe.2856:

There was a game where only the cape changed color based on team but I can’t remember the name of this game..

that must have been pretty good game

might be paid tournaments

i like it, but tbh there should be “turn off team colors” and just so we could go deeper they should give tool to guilds so they could design own colors for spvp/tpvp

Actually, according to timestamps, that says 4 days ago… so…one week is 4 days now? Gotcha.

i was talking about the post from jonathan 10d ago

Sanis.1096:

they say they dont want to give empty promises and then they do this… kitten joke

Don’t think they actually ever promised a time for it to be posted so…..what’s empty about that?

they said “next few days” over 1 week ago

Eir.6921:

k i dont want to kitten but, here it goes.

they promised that we would get an blog post about what we are gonna get in spvp.
But that has been 8 or 9 days now?
how long does it take to make an blog post about something?

but now to the actual point.

Alot of my friends are actually quitting the game cause of the pvp is basicly unfinished.

Please give us the ETA on the blog post AND the update for it….

When its ready had been on 28-08-2012. not after it…

they say they dont want to give empty promises and then they do this… kitten joke

spvp will never be balanced when this game focuses tpvp

happens to me all the time

we dont want to give empty promises… next few days

so you want to fix something that is not broken o.O

yea… imo phantasmals are doing too much damage

if you played like 50 games with mesmer you would learn how to see “the real” mesmer pretty fast… in gw2 it helps you ALOT if you know all the classes inside out

so you have just scratched the surface in pvp… the pvp in gw2 is totally new if you compare it to other mmorpgs… it takes time to adjust

Duukar.3061:

Thieves get auto down kills from stealth every time.. They do way too much damage and can escape way too easily..

Mesmers are OP and broken as all heck.. mostly due to targetting issues and too much dmg while being impossible to attack.

Targetting is broken.. How can I play a game where my target drops every 5 seconds and then im forced to try and tab thru 14 targets in to try and get a real target that will just drop again in 5 seconds anyway.. Or I can try to mouse click in total and complete chaos where 4 out of every 5 targets isnt even a player.. Oh and then the target will drop again anyway…

Of course when one complains about stuff like this they are told.. “its just cause yer bad” or “Thats called skill”

Its not skill.. Its called exploiting a broken class mechanic.

I feel like the pvp in this game is basically smashing my head into a wall over and over and asking for more..

Sadly its getting worse and worse as more and more people realize to compete and have fun they need to be a thief or mesmer..

I have a fun game maybe once in every 5 or 6 games..

before you guys start on the “skill” comments or that “youre just bad”

I ALWAYS FINISH #1 or #2 on my team.. like 90% of the time.

This game sucks right now.

can you link how many games you have played?

so you are saying you get killed in 1.5 sec by something and you dont know what even when you can see what killed you? and you ask where the skill is when you dont even bother to tell us how you get killed so fast

-Mesmer-

• Nerf Phantasmal damage
• Nerf moa to 5 seconds with lower CD maby around 90

guardian and thief are fine

What’s next, a trade post? An armorer? We need some reason to visit the capital cities.

I think your missing the point, trade post and armorers having nothing to do with PvP. I’m pointing out the items that can be used in PvP should be all accessible through either the PvP stash or they should give you the option to get into your bank account to retrieve your PvP salvage kits. Giving you the reason for visiting the capital cities for just around 5 items that are not retrieveable through your PvP stash isn’t a good reason.

you get bags from chest so you have plenty of room to keep them in your bag so why not just keep them in your bag?

wierd how you “force” good ppl to use dodge when you play warrior… seems like they are not that good and maby watch some streams like reyontv and learn from him

<— Rank 31 around 10 slivers and 20-30 crystals

“They have a chance to be salvaged when using a PvP Salvage Kit on PvP items found in copper, silver and gold free tournament reward chests.”

if you got it from somewhere else i hope you reported that bug?

only tournaments

there is 0 reasons to give money in pvp… you dont spend in it in pvp so why earn it?

You do realize that rank only tells how hard you have been farming, right? And one of the best ways of doing it is running 5x thiefs and zerging everything that moves.
What comes to tournament wins, just play with premades and that only guarantees you more than 70% winrate.

but does he even have 20 tournament wins? is he even over rank 20?

I have played games with pugs and won against premades who try to do all mesmers, all warriors, and all thieves. It doesnt work plain and simple

Im sure everyone likes to believe there are op cant be beat classes but those people are just showing how unskilled they are in gw2.

I have over 124 tournament wins mostly in solo que. Trust me the competition is out there. This guy is just a troll.

Im rank 14 myself and i believe i would be lot more if i plaid a roamer and didnt defend pointsand play for the team in general.

I hate the op/up discussion myself, but i think player X winning 5 random mesmers on a day X doesnt qualify as a prove for mesmers not being OP (and pls DO understand that this is not my own opinion. I used mesmer just as an example.)

When battles are more than often 2v2+ the thing that annoys me the most is the amount of summons/pets/illusions and flashy effects that makes it literally impossible to see visuals on those 3 asuras that are running around you. Thus making abilities like 100blades and pistolwhip with haste a really stupid mechanic.

Downed state is a mess aswell.. I hate that it is (again) literally impossible to win a 1v2 against almost anything, no matter how much you outplay them.

Almost every profession being identic in looks is also annoying.

Gimmicky specs like the immortal deathblossom thief is justkitten (would be easy to fix, but their more worried about woman audios etc)

There is no option for targets target or enemies targeting you, so calling the combat skillbased is an insult.. its stratetic and nothing more. Move your peons to right places at right time and you win.

Id got loads more, but this is already getting totally derailed from what i intended to write so ill just hit the reply now and be happy with it

i have around 1000 games played and you get used to it pretty fast… and you can see asuras pretty easy imo

“quote= Comparing WoW realease with GW2 release is abdundant, they are more than 7 years apart, which means GW2 had 7 years to improve.
Besides GW2 have had a ton of other MMO’s to learn from aswell.”

sure they had other mmo’s to learn from and they have learn from those… look at wow balance vs GW2 balance… i dont see any pve gear dominating gw2 do you? it took wow 7 years to fix pve gear in pvp and reading what GC said to ajunkies mop pvp will just be same kitten like cata

try coordinating more with your team someone is down stability → stomp

Atm rank 31 and MAX 10 slivers, 20-30 crystals, +600 dusts and around 300 orbs

no you dont get any stats from gear all the PvP gear in this game are the same with different skins and only stats you get is from amulets

some answer from Anet would be nice

when did they add this cap? 5 days ago i was able to get +300 points

i guess there is really no other place to post this, but stuff like this need to be fixed.

They just trade points and when i said i report they even called me nazi

this is for guys who want to benchmark classes in pvp = would it be ok if there was a personal instance with 1 AoE pack and 1 single target dummy to dps and you could see your damage and you could reset it when you want

everyone is talking about hot join, but this happens in tournaments aswell.

maby only you could see it in your score screen

no thx… would you like to get these = “you only did xxx amount of damage and you play class xxx you are kitten” or “L0L you play support guardian and you healing is so low wtf are you doing???”

buttski.6135:

huh? why?
who cares about hotjoin? oO

just got tournament with 2 players in my team… there are leavers in tournaments aswell

must be riot “soon”

Medium gear needs some love… Medium looks boring vs Light/Heavy

does it work if you are in a party as a leader or someone else is leader?

because ppl who like this game are playing and talking in /m how much they like this game and ppl who get owned by thiefs or warriors cry here… its always like this… if someone likes the game he usually dont go to forums and say how good it is

Morkai.7645:

Neverwho, you are correct anything can be countered. That’s not the point of the post. Balance is an issue. These skills are op and easy mode. As a d/d elementalist I should be able to dish out the same burst damage as a thief or warrior or they should get nerfed.

this pretty much ends this thread… “hey guys i cant pubstomp ppl so much as warrior or thief… please buff me or nerf them and this is NOT l2p issueDD”

Morkai.7645:

Morkai.7645:

Just telling what I experienced. I sliced through cloth like butter spamming hs in 8vs8.

8v8 is zergy garbage.

Seriously, that’s all there is to it. TPvP is all that matters when talking about balance.

Yeah but the difference is night and day between a melee elementalist and a thief or warrior. One class I can spam one button and have no clue what I’m doing vs the other where I bust mykitten with a class I have mastered doing less damage with less survivability.

seems like when you play with your thief you get opponents who are afk and when you play on your ele you get ppl who are not… if you meet guys in 8v8 who just let you kill them that dosent mean the class is op

and clearly you have NOT mastered ele if you cant kill ppl with it

Morkai.7645:

Mayama.1854:

Thieves and warriors? Well from my (mesmer) perspective I would say other mesmers are a joke and maybee guardians. Warriors are cannonfodder.

Mesmers were my easiest target while playing a thief I spammed heart seeker and cut through them like butter. Although I will admit their bird spell needs to be nerfed. Transmognified time is rediculously op.

well… those mesmers have been really bad then… if you didnt know mesmers are best counter to thiefs atm

ok… i have played 470 games with mesmer, 218 with thief, 150 with guardian, 25 with engineer and around 10 with other professions and tbh they are not so OP and you make them sound + Anet alredy changed HS abit

If you are talking about 8v8 “hot join” you can pretty much wreck ppl with any profession

yea date would be nice :P

Feothyr.6072:

milo.6942:

Try it.

I did. And no thank you. Don’t know whether we were simply unlucky, but facing an organized guild team with 3 randoms isn’t fun at all.

not unlucky… i bet i around 80% of my games vs 5 man premade, but it will get smoother when paid tournaments are working

Irishbrewed.6537:

Untouch.2541:

Actually RIFT is equalizing gear soon too.

I think they scrapped the idea. A sub game needs the “carrot” factor and I think they realized that.

Edit: I could be wrong on that, so don’t quote me. I also am not sure if they scrapped it bc of that exact reason, just making the assumption. I think it’s hard to make the horizontal progression switch once you’ve established a community who enjoy vertical scaling. It’s a drastic change.

AFAIK they tried it, but they removed it

dublido.5417:

Ohh… seems a bit lame to me tho, Yes you can say “as it should be” but why? a lot of other games have done it the other way in many years and that seem to have worked out fine… but yeah I guess I was to fast to set my heart on GW2 then :P

sure it has worked out in those other games, but GW2 wants to be esport and having stats in pvp game that wants to be esport is just BIG no no
