Guild Wars 2

Mostly because of this.
forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/game/pvp/StrongHold-NPC-BLUR-HEAL-Balance/first

Tempest heal or heal overall is too strong on the door breakers.

how long has it been?
Still it is the same problem….

You could just reduce the heal on those NPC to 1/3

Seyiwaji.4082:

OP is right All trap, Symbole should enter cooldown only after activation.
remember how people cried about Mantras.

lol a SYMBOL nerf?

now i’ve really seen it all

I was referring to Necro Mark particularly

OP is right All trap, Symbole should enter cooldown only after activation.
remember how people cried about Mantras.

Why should every bothersome be removed?

I can not agree this even if my main is not a scrapper.
Avoid going down in the first place.

My god cry baby everywhere for every kitten.
Instead of removing this, try to come out with ideas mechanic specific to other classes.

PVP doesn’t have access to precursor in direct way.
PVP doesn’t have access to the new legendary armor
PVP doesn’t have access to the new legendary weapon.

Trevor Boyer.6524:

It’s no surprise.

You’ll often hear that “main accounts” struggle to reach legend but then that same player uses an alt account and reaches legend easily.

The system is absolutely botched and punishes people who play on accounts with history. It’s a sack of monkey kitten to be honest and It’s the biggest reason why I took an almost month long break during S3. you can’t take a system like this seriously.

I love GW2 but come on.

This is what i think, and actually PVP doesn’t reflect say or reflect amything about how skilled someone is.

1. to the Opening : dev will never ever read this post that you made.
2. I guess played team to reach legendary. At the current situation, there is no skill about achieving this, and this in NA were the PVP level is seriously low.
   How do i know? i played both.
3. as I stated you are players with low pvp history.

No wonder.

They cling to their outdated principle which don’t work.
being innovative is being able to go beyond and to blow up principles.

This is what guild wars wanted to be.
<<<nice begin>>> Huge fall down.

Now they have raids as main PVE end game content. Seriously?

Not being able to have the will to separate PVP/PVE skills was a Huge mistake!
The population warned you, you didn’t want to accept. Now after so many years you want to change it?

You gave up the possibility to battle in water.

To many skills change and game play destroyed all games I know.

Balance team =/= Dev Team, huge mistake and still clinging to principle

Most of the threads are repeating the same things over and over and over. But this doesn’t reach your ear, since the forum is dead.

By dead i mean, dev are not looking at it as much as before. They mainly get report through the Mod and Community manager.

A LOT OF THINGS never reach their ears.

Don’t you see that people got tired and are leaving?

I’m going to write for the whole GW2 Population. Your outfits ARE UGLY!!!!!(DELETED)
this is an infraction

if people give you 1 finger, you want the whole hand?
stop dreaming, will you? you are asking something impossible for a company who took 2 years to reimplement those element. 2 YEARS!!!!!!
what do you expect? you should not be so greedy. (DELETED) this is an infraction

This game is bargage, this forum is dead, The game is dying slowly and yes they delete for NO reason.

PVP is dead, even if you hit legend: You login click on ranked wait 15 min and you log out.
PVP is dead right now. Match set up config is not optimal, they focus on PVE and WvW, while even people from WvW are complaining.

What is left? nothing throw money for ESL tournament while the same people participate, the same face over and over: It is not even entertaining.

300 viewer on Twitch watching…. rofl. while overwatch has 20x times this number…..

Balance team doesn’t even knows what they are doing.
But i forget
The way legendary armor look is very very important
It will save the game.

i said myself since we don’t know how the matches are made it is impossible to clearly verify it.
BUT the fact that my assumption are veryified in my test, i can not deny the high possibility that it is true.
Or how do you explain this easyness?

I am Solo EU player mesmer

• Season 1 90%solo: got legend.
• Season 2 100% solo : I stoped playing 7 pip away from Legend, it was too easy no reward feeling huge win streak. it was just borring.
• Season 3 100% solo: i am Legend, and i had a really hard time. Seriously, it was hell.

On EU I have something like 23K PVP match, most of the time, i am matched with people…. you can not even believe it exists. I blocked them to recognize them. When i look in the block list arround 95% of them are in PVE or in Raid.
Each time i see them, i know this pvp match is a 80% lost game. If i have 2 blocked people, well this mean you can already give up. They do the same mistakes over and over ignore map instructions, ignore target. whatever…..

Since i believe the lesser games you played, the easier are your matches.
So i decided to make a free NA account and to look in to MMR HELL.

I play a solo simple mesmer, not even chrono like EU.
Matches are somehow easy, i beat elite spec as if i am playing elite spec myself.
Sure there are matches that you just can’t win, but look by yourself.

Either MMR HELL exist, either NA level is far below EU. Did my skills progress to such an extend? No.
My though: the system is carrying me. It may prioritize me, giving me weak opponent and good team due to my PVP history. This is absurd, this just because i have few pvp matches.

If really the game tend to give you 50% winrate, if you played a lot of PVP and your winrate is 49-51% you will be matched with people with the same winrate with fewer matches. This is ridiculous
50% winrate with 10K+ matches and 50% winrate with 100-500 is not something that you can compare. there is Huge gap between those 2

I don’t know how the system group but:
If it takes 10 people with ~50% winrate.
player 1. 20K pvp matches
player 2.10K
player 3. 5k
player 4. 2,5K
player 5. 1k
player 6 to 10 ~250-500 pvp matches

TEAM A: 1.6.7.8.9
TEAM B: 2,3,4,5,10
Team A will mostly lose and this would be Hell for player 1, because it will happen again and again and slowly drop his winrate and getting worser matches.

But since nobody really knows how we are matched up… you can’t really tell.
Maybe, review your MMR system once again. I don’t have any suggestions but sure is:

• the lesser games you played, the easier are your matches.

Imagine a player with a70-80% winrate with only ~100-200 games being matched with people with the same winrate and 1-2-3k pvp matches.

My English is bad, still i hope you undestand what i mean.

I am going to make it to legend in NA , there is no doubt there and this with a simple mesmer.

and this thread go on, the President of Anet even made it

The way this Armor look is so important for the game, there is nothing more important.
There so much useless thread and topic that the president needed to reply in such an imprtant thread.

I am amazed.

thief >power mesmer
thief < condi mesmer

this is all to it

Faux Play.6104:

Actually you will be teamed with people with similar MMR as you. Then once teams are formed, the teams that are in a similar pip range will face each other. Yes the player pool changes over time, but the late joiners and alts shouldn’t be spending much time in your division. Giving better rewards for legendary players might cut down on this.

Seyiwaji.4082:

now imagine that you have a life and you didn’t start pvp the first day.
Imagine you started 3 weeks after the start of the league. Imagine that you have a high MMR, with who do you think you will be teamed up?

You will be teamed with the scrubs and the enemies team will be average.

i guess you just don’t understand my post.
whatever, i won’t post here anymore.

do you have under 4k pvp match overall?

now imagine that you have a life and you didn’t start pvp the first day.
Imagine you started 3 weeks after the start of the league. Imagine that you have a high MMR, with who do you think you will be teamed up?

You will be teamed with the scrubs and the enemies team will be average.

I can explain it to you without number and easily.

The more PVP match you played in GW2, the worst will be your team mate in solo queue.
people with 10-20k pvp match will have a lot of trouble to reach legend.
People with 0->4K will have it easy.

This is how it works currently

so how many viewers?

Praise the lord Bro, Praise. why would they care….?

you like to cry over useless things, don’t you?

oh………. was something important today in gw2 pvp?

I looked at others company like (Blzzrd) (you know who i mean)
I can not deny that, it really seems there are less and less transparent.
It is sad that such a website reflect what we all think about the current Situation.

We like the game, but we have to admit, something is going wrong. I don’t even know if they can save it, like FFXIV did

Guild wars 2 may really have a bad management?

https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/ArenaNet-Reviews-E255820.htm

I was thinking about it and it seems it is true. I was wondering why less and less transparancy
The company seems to have a bad management and maybe dying from inside.
More and More people are dissatisfied.

This is reality. Now i may understand why the game is falling. Well not that the Rating Trends is that great.

DEV TEAM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BALANCE TEAM.

If you invent a machine producing eternal life water with a very complex setting and give it to a ape. Be sure it will produce something like instant death water.

A company with stupid principe, i wonder why people still do even hope.

It would have been incredible , if you said he played a Mesmer or a Druide.
Playing Scrapper is bullkitten.
I never played Engi/ Scrapper my whole life.
I made 1, went to PVP, won 3 games in a row in Legendary and i went back to my mesmer.
People were running, Scrapper is by far too powerfull, it requires NO SKILL to win a fight.

This is exactly what i mean, even a druide Pet will finish you off.
But I accept that you went there as Power mesmer with few game and i congratulate you.

I just want to understand how is your MMR, this is why i ask you Matches record.

Press the cross’Sword on the top of the screen. Look in Ranked Liga, You can see your last matches and how many PVP matches you played.
I also wanted to know if you played stronghold.

you even bothered to replay Fay.2357 post….

st elmos fire.2987:

I guess no one knows how to play vs a shatter mesmer anymore. I just got to legend with zerker chrono with allmost 0 effort. From sapphire to legend I have 87 games played and 67 wins. 15 of my losses was in the beginning of the season with power revenant when I grinded achivements for that legendary back piece. So I lost only 5 times with shatter mesmer. wtf. 90% of my games was solo and the rest was duo q.
I´m not even good at rotating so I played 80% of the time with only 2 points and went only where I can outnumber. No much brain power needed for that.
Last season I really struggled to even get out of ruby with only meta builds and switching class in order to have the best possible comp. It was so much harder to get to legend that way.
Or maybe ArenaNet just changed something in the mach making and made it kittened.
If some one wants the build I used, it is in the picture. I only changed daze mantra to condi clear mantra when we did not have ele and they had 3 or more condition classes. If we had ele I changed if they had 4 or 5 condi classes. I had games where I did over 1 mil. damage with this build.

I´m glad to see that I can play my shatter mesmer and be really effektive.

don’t take it bad, but could you please Post:
Your match records

because i consider your build as Ineffective. You are dead meat for Condi and even thieves can take you down easily. You can not port, and you have 00 Chance against Scrapper.
You must have been heavily carried.
But as said, let us see your Match record first, did you play stronghold?

Ross Biddle.2367:

Ithilwen, dude, you know you have my full support. But I don’t want to offer up grouping with you because I’ve played with you in the past and it really dragged down the team.

Also, if I’m running in past mid ruby, and you feel you’re overwhelmed at mid sapphire, I don’t know how pulling you up an entire divisions worth of pips (into a division that has no tier safety net) is going to go for you. That’s really stacking the odds, and in this game there’s no additional payout for the extra gamble.

So I really want to help you achieve your goals, but I’m at a loss on how to assist you. Perhaps there’s a fundamental flaw you’re not aware of. Maybe you’re bound by your own mental shackles. If you havent, you should probably take an hour out of your gaming work day and read through the entirety of this.

http://www.sirlin.net/ptw

If Playing to Win doesn’t help you in some way, nothing can 0.o

Ithilwen.1529 and Ross Biddle.2367

Moment Ross Biddle do you play in EU?

Or is misstake Ithilwen.1529 for somebody else and he plays in US.

@Vayne.8563
Number talk for themselves, and this is only the beginning
Huge gain from HOT 4q15: Now see 1q16, the game is decaying

You can say what you want. Reality is there.
If you ask people if they will buy a new expansion. I am sure 50%+ will say NO.

Don’t cry if you read, this game is kittening dying.

It shows all symptoms of a dying game.
it even looks like they don’t have enough workers in the company…

less and less Guild Chat,Community Showcase Live.
They have nothing to report.
May be they even gave it up and are working on others projekt.
GW2 Failed at the most important moment where they should not fail.

whatever i reached legend, i am off until next PVP season maybe.

this rule about more points is common, nothing strange, nothing stupid as you stated.

but you seems to be so smart, why don’t you give us your suggestion?

Burn.5401:

One of the most stupid methods of deciding the victor/loser but they don’t care about changing it since it doesn’t happen often.

Not really ; do you know Boxing?

I am just going to say this:
How many buffs do you need again?

You have to give up some point of view to understand some classes.
Thieves are not created for team fight, to fight like warriors.
Srsly if you want to stand out in team fight don’t play thieves who need to hide, run, quit and wait for the right moment to strike.

WOW BIG NEWS

LEARN TO READ IS AN INFRACTION !!!!!!!!!!!

THEY DELETE A POST FOR WRITING LEARN TO READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LEARN TO READ; LEARN TO READ; LEARN TO READ ;
LEARN TO READ
LEARN TO READ

go ahead delete it AGAIN , i wrote LEARN TO READ.

Somebody asking me to look for Unblockable skills after 2 years GW2 is an offense.
The worst if he didn’t read my post until the end and post a link.

Now you delete my post because i ask/write:
learn to read
read again, did you see dodge?

Impressive

thanks for the info about krait runes. It is somehow a real pain.

What is the skill they use and no matter if you dodge or block; You will get some condi. I think due to the condi sigil like sigil of torment.
What is it?

I just wonder that there are still players who didn’t deactivate stronghold.

Those who didn’t do it, are mostly not aware of the situation. Those are 95% of newbie in pvp

after reading the 2 last posts, i can understand the gw2 population is as incapable as the game balance team.

a 10 sec IC passive crowd control trait called: well designed and defended pretending it’s get nullfied so much because of passive stun breaks.

and again you dare to say rune of nightmare is worse…. You have some issue, seriously.

is this thread serious?
are you Joking?

You talk about nightmare rune. I can only LOL when http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Heavy_Light unblockable knockback is in the game.

and you come to talk about nightmare rune. Are you serious?

relation Toughness/Attack Power secretly changed?
something seems different, did you notice ?
Or it is just my imagination

lol new account

well i never met such a thing.

you won’t see anything else, just rarley.
This game is just a condi easy cheese passive game, nothing more.
Condi Wars 2 online.

guy…. there are a lot of skills like this.
I think it is intended.

E-what?
This game is not about skills, it is not about being skilled.
Just about taking the Class and Build that can make you OP, or easy win above average.

The team Balance is full of troll not knowing their Job. (this is a statement based on fact!!!). Your Balance is kitten. We saw how you balance a game last past month/years.

Bug Fix feel like a Free to play game, 1 every 3 months even less
You don’t even feel like you bought this game. They don’t care.

E-Sport? the guy with his competitiv dream (saying: if you like WvW you like PvE) can forget about it. Spend more money in E-Sport instead of doing something productive.

You want to make a Pro race, you don’t even have a car. This what is GW2 E-sport. NOTHING

infinitenoah.8296:

Contrary to popular belief, it is not an easy task for the developers to balance a game. Balancing a game is like investing in stocks. There’s no clean cut, defined way of doing it. Every game is unique, so most of the time all the developers have to fall back on is their own judgement and experience.

I stopped reading after this.

If you don’t know, “Gw2 Dev” has nothing to do with the Balance team.
There are only people who randomly look at the skills who cause the most death, what they think that could be op and nerv it.

So i am not going to read your post and this game is not balanced, will never be.

To take the orb while being invulnerable or to have the orb and get invulnerable, allow you to duplicate the orb.

@1rst opening post:
Your post is dumb as kitten.

Revolutionen.5693:

I also like simplistic, realistic armor. Although there’s nothing wrong with having flashy, skimpy or over the top armor as well. It’s just that GW2 brings it to a comical level where it breaks immersion to 200%, and not in a bad-kitten way. Here are a few examples:

may be you should stop comparing 2 games with 2 different graphic. You can’t compare those 2 games.
