Guild Wars 2

just let me be op for a few months, im very bored atm with celestial

edit: maybe gimme invis and a backstab, that should be fun

i had a few times a ping of 800 on EB the last weeks , the last time was about an hour ago, just not playabel on my thief , wvw is no more fun

i play on elona reach

Laraley.7695:

Yeah, it’s definitely the most op build in game and that’s why it’s being pushed out of meta.

zzBlurryzz.7492:

You can play a ranger? I’m talking in WvW. Rangers currently are VERY tanky, long range, safe thieves. There is no risk in playing them. They have just as much burst and can easily beat a power build thief in second.

I find myself roaming on my D/D powerbuild thief and often coming across a ranger. Basilisk venom, backstab and nuke down to 20% health or so, only to be pushed away by their longbow and rapid fired to death. 20k damage from one skill that cant miss?

My proposed change is to actually make a change to thieves. Make it so when you stealth, targeted skills on you STOP hitting. Currently if they cast their rapid fire on you and you stealth, every shot of it will still hit you. WHY?!

Please do something, make thieves more useful then sharing venoms.

there is the reason why you die, d/d is like 2013 build, play s/d or d/p and you wont die to rangers unless they have clearly more skill then you , on the same skill lvl you should always win

thats like the one theard about the orr mobs that pull and chill, like the mobs should not have any cc because cc is annoying

Jurica.1742:

Helseth made this vod commentary of 2 games in the monthly ESL GO4 finals which I think is really useful for a mesmer that is new to PvP to see how you play properly as well as to a veteran mesmer. He explains a lot of the things which most people don’t catch on official streams but actually impact the game a lot.
If you’re having troubles using your portal and moa well (which isn’t too straightforward often) I think you will learn a lot from this regarding those two things. Also it has a lot of good information for anyone who wants to compete on high level, no matter which class.
Watch it here

Is it me or is he exploiting stow wpn?

i know that eles lighting whip got nerfed so you cant cast+cancel and get the heal anymore
i dont know if mesmer autoatack was nerfed, if not its absolutly the norm to do it to maximize your dmg

and about helseth, he is one of the most entertaining streamers to watch , phantaram is also great but nothing beats it when helseth is cursing texbi in a second and the other second praise him about a good play, i cant stop laughing while watching him

no , bad idea, ascended is a mean to spend time on, wtf should i do with all my money , another legendary ? i got already all i like, only causuals think ascended armor is grind

does a dev even play ele ? i mean really play with a few thousand matches or hours , not some scrub with 200hours playtime

its in hotjoin , who cares

what you are looking for is in the pvp section : http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/PvP_Conqueror

there was never a titel to the pve achivemtents for killing 1000 of X mob, i know it , i did them all

Favorite unlocked title: Champ of the Gods , because i already had GWAMM in gw1 like almost every one (at the end of my gw1 time) and getting the 50/50 in HoM was the last fun thing i did in gw1

there is no gw2 titel i would like to have because all are meaningless and easy to get, wvw titels not included because of reasons

i cant imagine a titel that i want because i dont know what kind of hard content you would need to get it, maybe a titel for SAB tribunal mode hint,hint or something similar

echo.2053:

meh play what class you enjoy playing. gw2 is far too casual to be caring about composition for random queues.

listen to him , just play what you want , currently i´m playing medi guard and i also never reroll , even if we are 3 zerk guards on the team, yoloq sould never be taken seriously

Eurantien.4632:

It’s too hard for anyone who doesn’t know how to play the game to watch a match and know what’s going on.

My friends are playing LoL and the other day they were watching a video of the best plays of a tournament (i think) , i just watched for 5min or so , i had absolutly no idea what was going on , i know what the purpose is in LoL, they explained it to me , but still if i dont know the skill of every character i have no idea why they suddenly start to yell because someone did some awesome move.

i guess the only games i can imagine where you can watch and think its awesome without knowing the skills of every char are shooter, just aim and pew pew , everyone knows whats going on , no special skils , elites or whatever (the last shooter i played was CS: Source , so dont kill me if now its different)

ps: the reason gw is not so much esport is in my opinion because they still invest 99% of time and money in pve, they cant expect to grow the pvp community without investing in it

i´m reading how everyone has these awesome elites , now even more awesome and i´m sitting here with my ele thinking “one day i will also get an elite which make ppl scared”…..instead of screaming “LICH UP, I´M MOA, kittenING CRATE” in ts , ppl will be screaming “FGS UP”, i know the day will come…

Archaon.9524:

titles based on this “leaderboard”

Are you serious?

Like “Great farming champion” “Top 100 Hero with 40% win ratio” and stuff like that?

you know , propably these ppl will even wear them with pride…

bump so hopefully a dev see this

ZeftheWicked.3076:

It’s no rocket science that when you’re downed you’re the guy who’s knocking on death’s door, and not the one stomping you, but still in 1v1 situations being downed should always mean a fighting chance. Small one, but a one non the less. ….".

funny that you talk about 1vs1 and having a small chance while downed , i think ranger is the profesion that i have see the most beat someone while in downstate

most of the time ranger was getting killed, then when the other person tries to stomp and has about 5-8k HP he gets rupted by the ranger+dmg from pet and ranger and while he tries a second stomp he suddenly is in downstate himself and we all know ranger downstate kittening op, once you are in downstate vs a ranger you lost, maybe a power nec could win but still..

so yeah , for starters lets fix the downstate of rangers

ps: most of the situations i saw where the downstate rangers still won was in 1vs1 servers, where obviously no one comes to +1 and stomp or rez

there is nothing more that i hate that being undercut by 10s on a ~70s item , instaed of undercutting me by 1c and keep the price high some “special” ppl undercut me by 10s and pushing the price into oblivion where its not profitabel anymore (i´m looking at you beaded weapons)

the thing is , its not like they will sell it faster because its 10s cheaper instaead of 1c, if someone need it , they will buy it, no matter the price

Argon.1563:

and the Chinese get this, but not us…why exactly?

Developers said they didn’t want to ship the update to us because it wasn’t ready, yet its ready for the Chinese?

maybe because its night right now at arenanet and its day in china ?

i hope the update willl be out in 10-12 hours for NA/EU

SobeSoul.6910:

60% =/= 90% OP

and now just image they get one more zerker , it would be 3 zerker 2 celestial !
holy kitten, my whole life is a lie… how would the forum reakt ?
“yeah theay are zerker monkeys , no skill at all, just one hit wonders, they like big numbers and no strategy!!1”
i´m looking forward to HoT and how the forums will cry about how OP revenat is , because as most know, if you win , you dont come here to cry , only if you lose

Katran.9186:

You play meta not because it is the way to win. You play meta because it is the way to be effective and therefore – to have fun. If non-meta builds in PVE are fun to play, in PVP you just get owned time after time until you reroll. Not sure if getting owned is anyone’s definition of fun.

You’ll say winning and having fun are sort of euphemisms, well, it can be true.

Simple example: Do you like doublepistol thief gameplay, romanticism of the fantasy duelist? Okay, you won’t be able to enjoy it in PvP, cause you’ll be dead after the first unload.

I am not speaking of rare exceptions and unrankeds, just overall ranked thoughts.

+1

doesnt matter if someone wants to be the special snowflake, if you die every 30s i simply cant image it to be fun, for exampel a friend of me was playing berseker staff ele in pve, he wanted to do it in pvp too, well after he was getting farmed by thiefs, mesmer and almost everyone who saw that he is a glassy staff ele, he changed to celestial
(told him he could play d/f bersek if he wants but he prefers the staff)

vpchelko.4261:

How it can be. Player with high AP (i,e, high game activity) but don’t know game?
I suspect only 1 thing – these players buy account from account sellers. I do not respect such things.

I expect that player with +5k AP (maybe less) know everything about game.

Noobies with +10k AP very disappointing.

i have 23k AP, i did arah the last time about a year ago, so if i would do arah now i have no idea what to do because of simpel reasons:

1. i have kittening forgotten what to do because its so long since i did it the last time, no idea where to stack where to run what to dodge etc

2. even if i would remember i dont know what changes anet made in the last year, for exampel the spider queen in AC, took the AoE dmg in my face because i didnt know that she was updated and can use it now even in the corner

most of the time i´m doing PvP (trying to get all Champ-XXX titels) or wvw , i´m very seldom in pve because i got bored of it so all the updates are flying past me and i forget most things in dungeons/fractals

so maybe that are some reasons why high AP players are failing in some dungeons/fractals, at least thats the reasons why i fail most of the time

i have 344 fractals done, frac lvl 31

yesterday i had done fractals the first time in about a month, i got the harpoon skin and my main is ele :/

well i wasnt kicked from queue when someone tried to join me, look at screen

i main ele and have around 1k games on ranked/unranked and over 3k hours in total (pve and wvw), against burst classes , especialy thief and mesmer you should not have problems as long as you avoid their heavy hitters

i think your main problem is not knowig all skils , builds and traits of all classes , so you know what to dodge and when to attack, if you play on EU , we can have some sparring or i can watch you on some hotjoin matches and i can tell you where you should improve

i am by no means a pro ele like phantaram or other top players, but i do think ele is one of the best 1vs1 classes and there is a reason why ppl are screming for a celestial nerf

i think they said something like that on the stream

“we know that some ppl are playing in window mode and streaching(?) their window so they get a better field of view, now with this option everybody has a bigger field of view so all are the same”

so i understand it like , yeah well, before only ppl in window mode could fire over walls with AR, now everybody can do it , so its not unfair anymore…yay equality, nothing is safe anymore!

Marthkus.4615:

deSade.9437:

Indeed, babe, indeed.
P.S. Since the only way to get AR is through ascended gear (you can’t see the infusion on the pieces, but oh well) and pinging gear is such a terribly toxic thing to do/ask for, I wonder what’s the PHIW’s modus operandi in pugs? Just pray everyone has enough AR? Ask, hoping they can read/don’t lie?
OHHHH, aye, I forgot. The answer is “I’m such a good and selfless person that I don’t mind carrying 3 people with 0 AR through a fracs 30, I can support them with my healing build or solo encounters anyway!”
Not necessarily untrue, I’ll give ya that.

Post what you want (if you want specific things), then trust people.
If in fractals and someone is auto-dying from agony then you kick them and replace them with someone who doesn’t lie (and is rewarded for that by having to do less of a fractal).
If zerking through dungeon, asking for a ping makes zero sense. The whole point of zerk is to run fast and pinging gear waste time.

kicking from party and searching for new members is more of a waste of time , simply pinging your gear takes just a few seconds

the only reason someone would be against pinging gear is because he does not have the gear requested, if someone is full ascend then he obviously doesnt care to ping gear or not

i hope someday the lfg has a checkbox where i can just check up “ascendet only” so only ppl with ascended can join my party and i dont have to argue and waste my time with causuals that play only a hour a day

as far as i know you dont get kicked from que just because someone wants to join your party (if i´m wrong ignore the rest), only when you accept the join request and he joins you, then you get kicked from queue and you have do que up again

so if you get the join request simply ignore it, dont accept and dont decline
then you should not have any problems with queueing

my issue fixed as well, ty anet

totally fine going afk , especially if you are in a 4vs5 or the score is 300-50, just let the game end quickly

pretty sure its svanir, just yesterday i saw him 1vs1 owning 3 ppl durning a match, i wonder what his kill count is

dont drink and dr—-play

simpel question , if i dont buy HoT, will i never get stronghold for map selection ?

seems logic to me that i could not play the content i didnt pay for but…that means that they have a queue where stronghold is not includet for players without HoT ?

let me be honest with you , if you go unranked , be prepared for the flames that willl come if you do something wrong and even more if you do not play meta builds..

so my suggestion is , get the meta build for your proffesion and go unranked, dont be surprised if you fail hard at the start , because 40 games is nothing , there are players with 14k games, tbh i have no idea if the game takes the number of games into account , i dont have the feeling it does

ps: switch your status to offline , so no one can flame you via whisper and ignore chat if the flame the chat

new patch – no bugfix, still waiting :/

adam.8692:

GW had such an option- if everyone typed /resign the match came to end. Why continue the match if some people see no reason for it?

+1

why would anet care about them if the skyhammer rank farmers are allowed since forever ?

maybe they will finaly admit that the achivments are unrealistic and change them with the expansion #thedream

so i normaly dont play EOTM but a friend asked me to go with him there to lvl his alt, thats why i didn´t knew about the mobs

at first i was like , yeah my friend is on the other side of the map , i will quickly go to him, so i go straight into the aether mobs and got rekt hard, i rly didnt knew what happend then i was going at it again and fought the first two mobs that are at the stairs, and it was awesome!

srsly i never thought we had mobs that would be so hard to kill , not even the mobs in silverwastes are so hard to kill, the eles have skills like a true ele , the guardian also ,i was totaly flashed

i would LOVE to see more mobs like them in all tyria, really nice mechanics and not to much HP

what you guys think about that ? are the mobs fine how they are now or should they be upgradet to aetherblade lvl ?

ps: with my d/d ele i could only handel 2 mobs (ele and assasin) at the same time , with 3 mobs i got rekt again and i was laughing and having a fun time !

pps: the mobs even freaking dodge ! holy kitten, why not more mobs that can dodge ?!

feel free to post the link to your theard into mine, there are already alot of other ppl with bugged collections

Yall talk of nonsense,
like you didn’t even do any research or participate on the forums.

They already stated they do MMR based on profession. It’s already being done, its just the PvP community is so small that you stuck with whoever is queing and it isn’t a lot of people.

Like I stated before, the validity of there system is off, it assumes one guy is good which he could be bad. That’s why you need a player ranking system to validate the good players from the bad players.

Another thing, you guys talking of having to play games to meet a criteria to PvP. That’s nonsense too, because this game is around 2 years old, and most of the people playing it that will ever set foot in PvP are of decent ranking, like a wolf… People, PvP rank doesn’t decay.

The best solutions is player ranking system and bringing back tournament tickets.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/pvp/Are-Profession-Ratings-back

Well, still contradicts your opinion because if people can profession swap, rating on profession is useless.

That’s not even an effective method either, because STILL you can get lucky games and get carried and be considered good by the system, but when others judge you, your a terrible player. Your the team MWP (Most Worst Player).

i have no opinion on anything wrote on this forum,except its written by a dev, just pointed out that you were wrong about proffesion mmr, so the misinformation dont spread

bump this to remember that its still here, and i have seen alote more theards with that problem , pls fix asap

If you played gw1 then you can remember that each expansion gave you 2 new chars slots if you linked it to your account , and i think you got one bank space too, but i´m not sure about that.

so its something like the academy gaming torunament but for EU ?

and i have to come with a full team , not solo?

someone correct me if i´m wrong, but i think the proffesion is currently not includet in the matchmaking because you can swap at the start , i think i read somewhere where a dev said they are not even sure if they will implement it in the future anymore

Outlaw.3421:

So, you are actually having the same issue as me with the Luminescent Gloves collection. I think this issue is just a general collection to sPvP issue versus just a few items in each not counting.

When I talked to support, they said that when they patch it (no ETA), if you have it in the Wardrobe, it will count for the collection too.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Bug-Collections-and-Heart-of-the-Mists/first#post4702577

well at least they told you that they are aware of the bug and its on their to do list, lets see how long they take for it , i have the bug now for over two months..

update
Message Body length must at least be 15.

let me be honest , i have no idea what they did wrong or right, BUT i´m sitting at 5k+ hours of gameplay, that shows me that there must be something that they did right

oh wait , there is one thing i am absoulutly sure they did right, pay once play forever, i have never played an mmo where i have to pay monthly fee and i will never play one, so thank you anet for not beeing a monthly pay MMO
