P/D is so boring I’d rather log off than play it. S/D is just as boring to me. After reading this, watch some videos, googling 1v1 builds and feedback, I’ve given up on 1v1 entirely in this game. Sounds awful. I’ll just stick to 5v5.
No, I’d like an equal chance and not to be at a disadvantage against EVERYONE 1v1 simply because of my class. I’m asking if my class is too weak to actually 1vX or not, if it’s not I’ll play it and get better because it’s the only class I enjoy the playstyle of.
Yeah but thief isn’t good against any class 1v1, lol. That’s my point, it’s why I dunno if it can even roam, you have to be so much better than your opponent to win. Necro/eng might have hard counters but they’re good against nearly every other class.
I dunno, you can effortless win every 1v1 as a necro/eng/ele. I also spend like 45m trying to find people to pvp then usually die, then have to run back and spend another 45 minutes. Feel like I’d rather SPVP.
Yes it is powerful but is also central to several condition builds because they are overly reliant on a single condition (either burning in the case of guardians or bleeding on the case of warriors.)
If it were to be removed or even reduced in effectiveness then those builds would suffer quite badly.
Any decent eng/ele/necro/warrior are the best duelists.
Certain BUILDS on these classes are very strong, most are celestial. They’re good 1v1 because they are generally Jacks-of-all-trades so no matter what they face they will not be at a total disadvantage.
Just listing the class is pointless. A SD Engi may beat some builds but will be useless vs others. A Skullcrask Warrior will be most ranged builds or builds with few stunbreaks/stability but any build with a decent amount of both will just laugh at it. A Fresh Air Ele will crush those with few defenses but will look pathetic if they can survive that big combo.
Technical skills only get you so far, this isn’t a FPS or RTS, your build is just as important and sometimes even more important. Many good dueling builds are basically worthless in TPvP because they are only good at fighting 1 player.
Personally, I only duel with builds I would use in TPvP or gimmicks that either win really easily or die instantly. It’s also the worst when people make builds designed to counter you.
Yeah but ele/eng/warrior/necro have group pvp builds that are good-god tier in group pvp and god tier in 1v1. It’s stupid.
And I’m not going to repeatedly mention that everyone but me cares about getting more hunter pets. Really I’m not.
Polar opposite here, I think the ranger class shouldn’t have a pet at all, like in every other darn MMO, it should just be that lone wolf bowman/woodman class, and leave the companion thing to the necros. The pet literally is the only reason why I don’t have a ranger.
This. I hate forced pets.
Hunters in WoW. Rangers on this.
I can’t stand them. I really don’t understand why they’re forced to have them. It turns the class into a snooze fest. When I play a Ranger class I want to feel like an archer. A bowman.
Not a zookeeper.
Gotta play asian MMO’s for proper archers, for some reason western MMO’s think archer = pet class.
Worst 1v1 class in the game. No reason to solo/roam WVW as anything but eng/necro/ele/warrior or do zerg fights as anything but ele/guardian/warrior/necro.
Every spec that isn’t glass cannon melee is easy(dps guardian doesn’t count as glass cannon). Tankier specs are always the most forgiving and easiest. celestial, warrior, bunker(useless though), etc.
Pretty much everything is easy in this game, honestly. Tankier specs are generally easier though because you have more room or error.
Just to note, I would be against nerfs to the build if the in combat skill level required to perform well was similar to other builds. It currently isn’t which is why it needs to get changed.
This is such a selfish thoughtless post it hurts. Turret engineers don’t require skill. Anyone saying that people complaining about turret engis needs to L2P is missing the point. Turret Engineers are people who never L2P, but are succeeding in a semi-competitive environment due to one builds strengths. Sure, that build can be beat by better players, but turret engis perform way way above their own skill level and that is the problem.
If two new players start playing a game, and one picks up a turret engineer. The other will get wrecked. That person will be discouraged from playing the game because they will feel they are bad at it. Also, the one that played turret engineer never learns game mechanics because they get carried by the build they are playing and not their own skill. There is no justification for turret engineers being as strong as they are. The people that keep defending them need to stop. The build makes bad players look way better than they are and that is bad for the game as a whole.
You work together in SPVP, but 5 manning everything is a sure way to lose.
You work together in WVW, but 500 manning a single objective is a sure way to lose.
You probably haven’t played sPvP or WvW based on your post so I’ll explain how Dragonball is different. Both sPvP and WvW require you to obtain and hold objectives. In Dragonball, you win by killing other players. There’s no other way to score points. Dragonball is also much more fast paced so the quicker you score points, the better.
I’ve played over 500 games of SPVP and I’m rank30 in WVW.
Hotjoin is intentionally supposed to be so bad it shouldn’t exist. I actually don’t know why it’s still in the game. Anything but unranked is basically unplayable.
I am betting it is a rather small part of their income. Their 1% whales would have bought most of theirs by now, and new players were scared off by the horrible NPE. Their weekly sales and new flavours are what make them their money.
Yeah, except for the fact that the vast majority of the people shouting about the “horrible NPE” are veteran players that knew how the system was before, thus had something to compare to.
Based on actual in-game experience however I see plenty of new people running around.
And yes, their weekly sales do indeed make them money. But it is also rather silly to claim that they make no money off bank and bag slots.
You also still refuse to come up with what they should add to the store instead in order to replace the loss of income from removing the gem cost of bank and bag slots.
NPE is awful. They even admit that by removing the new trait system in HOT.
