Guild Wars 2

Can someone please help clear something up for me.

In the pvp window there is a “Top Stats Awarded” statistic, can someone help me understand what this is?

Forget the pve side of things, come and play some pvp instead! It’s a pvp game after all isn’t it?

Maybe if every1 stopped pve’n, maybe more concentration will be put into pvp side of things. There are plenty of other games to pve in.

I actually like the conquest system, and find it really fun. If you want a 5v5 deathmatch go back wow or cs. The conquest system adds a huge estrategy side for tPvP play and im glad they won’t change it but look for it’s balance.

Your argument is invalid sir.

Argument is invalid because you disagree?

rolls eyes

There are plenty of people who have a desire for something different.

I didn’t expect much for spvp in the update, I don;t expect much from ANet at all anymore. I just play when I’m bored now, maybe 15 minutes a day as opposed to hours a month or so ago. I think I spend more time surfing the forums then playing the game.

I like to pvp, yet I only casually play, those in my situation lose out imo since the maps are so repetitive, this one will just be added to it. I might take a little break and come back when there is more variety.

I love this OP, he says exactly what I, and all my friends, are thinking. We are casuals, and we get s**t on.

I only have 1 friend playing now, other then myself and it feels as if it is, zergfest, or nofest. We don’t tpvp because as OP mentioned, we have lives and and work at different times so it’s pointless to find other people to work around our schedule. Yet we love this game so we hope it is going to improve for us.

WoW was perfect for us and our situations but I really don’t want to go back to that game just to have a meaningful play experience. I like this game.. and I would like to keep to it.

Agreed, needs more stuff to do in pvp. I thought this was supposed to predominantly be a pvp game. Yet all I see are dev’s responding to pve issues and discussions.

I love the mechanics of this game but have got so bored that I am literally rotating classes..

I disagree with second poster saying ANet don’t know what they’re doing though. I think that they are just slow with the pvp side of it, since they concentrate too much on pve. WvW isn’t pvp either.

“If all this wasn’t enough to worry you however, on the 3rd of November the Beta release of an item duplicator, from a prominent and prolific hacker, goes live.

What wonderful news. "

I really didn’t think it was this bad. Nice editorial, very eye opening. Makes me disappointed in ANet a bit.

I am nearly rank 40 and have close to 150k glory points. It will only take about 50k to get everything for rank 40 cosmetics. After that what do you do with your glory points?

Will there be added things to spend them on?

People really don’t understand because they don’t play a thief. I played one just to see what it was like. If you want to get those high backstabs, then you got to use cooldowns. Those cooldowns take utility slots and also have hefty cooldown periods. Once they have done their burst, thats it, they are just sitting ducks.

“They need to generate revenue somehow because programmers working on improving the game have to be paid.”

Because 2m game sales x $60 wasn’t enough? Unless they pay their developers in Bugatti Veyrons, I am missing your point..

yep, me too….

It still happens to me, but a lot less frequently. Maybe 1 in 20 games, instead of what is used to be. Even tho it happens a lot less, it still happens!!

Anyone else have similar experience?

This is a silly idea if you just think of it for more then half a second. There will eventually be people who will suicide regardless of the situation, for whatever reason. A lot of people are not you, and they don’t care what happens. Casual players mostly don’t care and are just playing the game.

As soon as this happens, downed enemies are up and the fight completely changes. I don’t think that’s what anyone would want.

Agreed, needs more reward

Webley.1295:

Did anyone notice that in this screen shot, the team that won was the team without the thieves and mesmers?

Fail post.

Anyway people like to try new classes in sPvP.

He is just showing what a lot of teams are made up of now. Not that one side is more overpowered then the other. Why assume it’s a fail post.

More screeny’s of this type of thing will show ANet what is happening. That doesn’t make it a fail post.

Very infrequently, yes.

Could someone please explain to me what attacks this venom works on?

Is it supposed to work on steal (mug) ? Or cloak and dagger? I feel that it uses the charge on the steal, but doesn’t proc the stun.

It seems like it only works less then half the time, maybe I am missing something?

probably a bug. report in bug thread!

patch indeed broke something, no word from Anet though, so I assume they still don;t know about it. Or are working on it but don;t wanna tell anyone that they are.

Makes me angry actually, since I would be having such a good time and then BAM, that bs happens.

yep this is happening to everyone. If u see a completely out numbered team, you know it is because they are stuck at loading screen.

This bug is rediculously annoying. I don’t know why it is not yet fixed. It seems simple enough, since it happens to so many people.

Gawd.. so many bugs in this game.

Phantasmal berserker idea is brilliant. It would add a tremendous amount of extra micro in controlling your damage and boost overall enjoyment of doing so.

I main a mesmer, and I consider myself very good at it. I was very successful in wow (2500 been my highest rating), and I believe Ill be very successful here. I said that I was going to play a mesmer even when everyone was telling me how underpowered they were during the beta. I love mesmer, and I love the way they fight. There are very few 1v1’s that I lose at, and in saying that, 90% of the mesmer’s I come up against are really bad. 80% of the thieves I come against are just spammers. But the good ones make for some really decent fights.

There is an influx of players thinking that mesmer’s and thieves are op. These guys are very easy to spot, and easier to beat. Against other classes, I can see how annoying it would be to play against them, simply from the illusion spamming, and bleed spamming stand point, but they should still be easy to beat for anyone who is mildly skilled at their class.

Skilled mesmer’s will still be something to qq about, even after any balance changes.

I’ve also confirmed this from experience

Getting stuck at load screen. Server crashes restarts at Capricorn. Happening to every1 since every1 on that server gets affected. Happened twice, and is happening to every single server. Not one Battle of Khylo on serv list, because its fugged!

edit: also log in problems when restarting the client after this happens

I hear Dragonbrand is where its at.

I think it’s Dragonbrand too. There are always heaps of players in mists at all times of the day.

They are most annoying to fight against. Someone posted up stats of how most classes do in bg’s over a set amount of games and mesmer has the lowest skill cap. Bad players jump on the banwagon thinking its a fotm and it shows through the amount of bad players there are playing them. You prob just came up against a good one, and now label the whole profession as op.

There are no op classes, just op players.

I agree. I never played gw1, and I don’t pve.. I just love to pvp. I would like to see more reward for the time I spend doing what I love to do. I don’t have countless hours to spend playing both sides of the game.

They’re shooting themselves in the foot by pro-longing their patches, obvious bugs, balancing and (major) communication blogs. This is evident by observing the number of hours played on the game (on average).

D3 met a similar fate, but through a different method. The game sucked and it plummeted to where it is now.

Although ANet are more forthright in their communication vs blizzard, the game is just not holding the attention of players.

Same deal with pvp light armour, I want some short skirts or some skin showing apparel.. the only one there is unattainable..

sad face

Hey guys,

I just wanted to find out what the average glory level people are at, at the moment. Currently I am at 27, and I play maybe 2 hours of solid pvp a day.

What levels are you guys up to?

There’s always casualties when these sort of things happen. Just sucks you were one of them.

I like heart of the mists, if anything they should just add more stuff to it. PvE has it’s side of the game, keep it there.

We have ours, keep it here, just improve it.

This topic is ridiculous. The fact that you’re downed is supposed to mean you’re badly hurt and there are only a few things you can do in such a situation. To complain about one of the more, what most would consider, overpowered down states is just laughable.

I don’t mean to attack you, but you really need to understand the point of been in a downed state to begin with. It’s definitely not to dps.

Milo, you hit it on the head. This is a team based game, and it has been (obviously) designed around it.

Name and shame!

Thanks a lot ANet,

I too love this game whole heartedly. I trust that this game will still be better then ever with time. And I will be there the whole time, I just wish there was more of a way that I can contribute in terms of micro transactions as a dedicated pvp’r.

Awesome suggestion. +1

It’s becoming common knowledge that point holders are not rewarded enough.

I’m sure they’re very busy. We will get an update to all of your questions, it’s just a matter of time. Hopefully not too long.

Braize.4560:

And judging by the overpopulated amounts of thieves currently out there, I’d say most people are starting to use the “if you can’t beat em, join em” mentality.

I certainly jumped on the faceroll train. It is fun and easy to say the least. Certainly needs toning since all you need to do is spam one ability and be just as effective, if not more so, then other classes when played properly. Even if you just get someone to half hp before initiative is depleted, then your job is done in a team fight. Stealth, run or whatever and wait for initiative to spam a sucker again.

I hope this is something they are working on. I need my boasting material!

Does anyone know if there will be any 2s, 3s and 4s brackets? I would love the option to play with my mate on a more, just us vs 2 of them, sort of way.

I’m with gkaare when it comes to playing this map. I dont even go into the water, I just play selfishly. Win or lose, I don’t care with this map. The quicker the better.

I feel like pvp rewards are lacking, I don’t know how to put it exactly but the level gain’s are so far apart that it feels like the hugest grind..

I like how all gear is balanced and stuff but maybe a way to make some money while pvp’n would be a nice addition. Something that we can also get along the lines of huge in between levels.

Maybe a reborn system could help substantiate any lessening of levels to continue longevity, if that road is picked. I dunno just feels too grindy and no reward. I got the armour set I wanted as soon as I got to level 20, and there has been nothing else to look forward to. The only reason I gain more levels is coz I love to pvp, but I wish there was something more to gain from it.
