Guild Wars 2

go in some empty room and hf till someone enter and ruin your fun

i was hoping it was a statistic for paid…shame

Ziddy.2583:

They’re interested in GW2 esports and there are still no private servers.

nor a serious ladder

D I V A.6018:

I would gladly pay another 60€ or even 100€ if Anet would implement the whole GW1-PvP. Including Random Arena and Team Arena.

DIVA

i would like anet did gw2 as gw1 full HD . no more money for them from me now. i am very disappointed.

12hours ago in my last tourney, first map, i wasa stucked in loading screen. alt+f4 and reconnect..not a good strategy to resolve this prolem, but at least effective.. doesnt seems so esporty btw

pvp gear based. interdasting

Xom.9264:

WoW did not even have PvP (other then open world on pvp servers) the first 8 months and it took 2 years before arena.

Game is moving along just fine, we all wish there was already duels deathmatch rated pvp/arenas etc… They said things are getting worked on all we can do is argue about the order of importance (duels deathmatch)

Take a break because in a few months when those things are in place you will be back…. or are you actually going to stick with DIII or WoW? I think not.

wow didnt have his 10 fantabillion users because of pvp. people needed a pve game warcraft lored and puff , a wild wow appeard.
gw1 was a pvp oriented game , the best pvp game in years and look, smart devs didnt hold on the trend..

still pretty much in an early beta stage

Yes.
I wouldn’t have minded waiting another year for a game that would actually be worth PvP’ing in.

I don’t understand people like this.

My personal policy (after a bunch of terrible MMO launches) has been to wait 3 months after the release of an MMO before buying, just for the early awfulness to be fixed.
(sadly due to peer pressure I broke this policy for D3. And less sadly, for GW2.)

The game is playable. I and many others are enjoying it just fine.
Yet you want all of us to wait another year, just so you can “start” with a game that’s in a satisfactory condition for you?

That’s stupid. Why do other people have to suffer for your excessive expectations?

Why not just pretend GW2 never released, go and live your life for a year, and then see if it’s worth coming back to or not?

In the meantime, I’ll be enjoying GW2.

i already paid the game. your statement is invalid

as far as i remember until illusions shatter (aka explode) they still count as active illusions.
more details about your experience may be usefull.

i think your post was misleading. i came on here to disagree with you but then i read what you said.
edited version of my pov.
couldnt agree more.
u won an internet.

now it is the fault of the community if the game is decaying day by day?
lol ok if you like to think so

Meanwhile anet was good and did everything possible for his community

most beautiful side of the coin

Again, it has nothing to do with who’s job it is to make the game successful. It’s being proactive.
If you don’t want to help make this happen, that’s fine. If this becomes successful and you want to get in on the action, that’s fine too.

if i buy a car with no radio and they said me the radio was in the price of the car, i wont start sing while driving until they will give me the radio.

unluckly the wideogaming “world” has his own rules and companies can do what they please after they received OUR money.

we payed full game to play bwes’ (alpha test) and now we are still playing a closed beta (you have to pay the game to play so it is closed). and what we have now? 2 devs to take care of a portion of the game. and look…seems they don’t care about a lot of things they said neither a lot of nice suggestions by community. and one year ago they claimed gw2 as an esport….one year ago, and still we have NO infrastructure for esport.
nice

I think it’s in the right place. Imagine if a casual had to win 100 tournament matches to complete it? He wouldn’t even bother trying.

3 tourney matches a day is too much?

As a father, full time college student and employee, I sometimes don’t even get to play for days at a time. I’m not saying it’s bad you can, nor advocating for easier achievements. However, different people have different schedules and priorities and you should understand this.

3 tourney matches, guys: “look i have 1h free, i play gw2; mists, soloQ, glhf; zzfirst match i lost (5mins), restart!! lool lost again (10mins), c’mon mayne next time, restart ; yeah i ve won first map!! etc”. 3 times this unluck for 30 days is enough to complete a part of the monthly. 8 different classes =just play , even if you lose you can do it in 30 days. trying again and again you will do the glory farm too etc etc.
it is difficult for some casual who actually enjoy a little the pvp of the game? i think no…it is like i would cry for pve monthly too difficult, and look, i dont do pve since 6-7 weeks.

but also as i stated, who cares, because rewards for monthly are silly

dota 2 is dota1 full HD why? because dota1 players wanted it to be that way.

gw1 players came to gw2 because of the previous game. sadly gw2 is not gw1 full HD and a lot of players are disappointed about it. and a lot of gw1 playerbase would like to play again gw1 GvG.

it is only a anet fault. nothing more, nothing less.

Infinitus.3712:

The reason for LoL and Dota being so successful in comparison to GW2 is that LoL especially is casual friendly and anyone can pick up the game and enjoy it. The problem is that at the moment hot join just does not offer the same experience and then when people try and transition from pugging hot join games to pugging touraments they come arcoss pre-mades that should be in paid, but due to paid being so empty they queue in free and come across these people who have just joined the game and they stomp them.

Also the reason that you see near to no one watching the GW2 streams is a direct result of the above. If the lower/ mid tier pvp community are not enjoying pvp, why would they want to watch the streams for the high/top tier players?

+1 for you Sir !! you said it right !

One more note from me
noob friendly game = game where you can play and not being destroyed by hardcore players in first hour of your gameplay experience.

(yesterday i solo joined tournament.. my team had all people r30+ while our opponents were rank 1-15 max. How is that fun? for them? and for us?)

i went 18-0 followed by 15-0 and never dieing in any match in my first few LoL matches until I quit since its a joke

then u can reach the top elo players and playing with them you will find the challenge you need to have fun. there are a lot of normal players in top elo playing everyday with proplayers. question is : do you like mobas?
about lol<dota2, don’t know. dota2 is less noobfriendly, still in beta., than lol.
there are a lot of people watching lol streams and lol tourney. i think everygame will take his own audience…

oh, i forgot MOBAS =/= MOORPGS , guys

speak only for what i have seen…

..it is a lesson of l2p to every other player who say something is op before practicing..

nice video.

my feedback about temple?

add guild lord
add thief of the guild
add flag
add monk
make it 8v8

gogogo gvg!!!
it remind me something like jade hall…

btw nice map, the underground part is amazing.

i agree op: monthly = 30 days?
well in 30 days assuming you play 1h /day, rates could be:
8 unique prof x 10each
25k rank points
50-100 tournament matches
50-100 matches.

btw who cares, rewards are so silliy it doesnt worth the math

Ace of Spades.6325:

Unranked Q, both solo and premade. (1 match, random map)
Solo Q ranked, solo or 2 man premade. (1 match, random map)
Ranked Q, premade only. (1 match, random map) <—— no need for 8 teams to be online.
Private servers.
Spectator mode.
.

would be a good start

denyitbattle.2609:

I don’t think people yet realize how big of an effect these changes will have on mesmer.

Imagine if an enemy dodging, or blocking, or anything really can actually take away your weapon. I agree with line of sight and range mattering (and actually thought it was a bug that it didn’t), but actually landing the “attack” seems a bit ridiculous… It also doesn’t make sense; what am I “hitting” them with so that i can simply summon an illusion?

you are hitting them with the “soul of your phantasm”.

ReeferKeeper.1865:

Well I find this build alot better then bs build for my personal play style, No I don’t fill up skillbar with all venoms because like you said that isn’t a smart move. I’ve won many 1v1 with this build based on bleed damage and poison. Even a 3 vs 1 where I took down 1 of three then died, but still it wasn’t like I creeped up and killed that 1 person in 2 seconds using burst then got roflstomped in the same 2 seconds. It’s all about how you play the build I guess.

As for your thoughts on the hp you get from venom leaching, tack on the passive where you get hp for every single hit you do, the trait to gain hp for every initiative skill you use, and you gain a pretty decent amount. Only downfall is when you get really low hp your healing skill doesn’t heal enough to save your kitten So your screwed then.

I won’t bother explaining anymore of my traits or skills I use because I constantly switch my skills around in a battle depending who I’m about to run into or how I want to fight, as I think everyone should. But I survive a lot better and do just as well fighting people with my condition based.

I was just trying to prove thief is not only 2 builds based on burst and more burst. Those are just the easiest + most popular.

proving nothing . give build to see how it works.
words are words ..

what is the opinion of some guardian-engi players about the patch note?

Yiyojin.3241 : calm down bro. they nerfed some thief’s skills? there are 2 possible ways :
1_ you change class
2_ you thoerycraft over: 9000 and you find another good thief build. as you said in tourney there are no CG thieves. so, maybe you can find a good build with no massive critical chance.

or you can always outplay opponents with the old BS or PW build.but there you need a lot of patience.

Doggie.3184:

idc the reasoning or lore. I want Guild Halls and GvG. Also want Fort Aspenwood back.

so you can reinstall gw1. thse features are there

miracle.4216:

I can’t believe people are talking about LORE in an PvP forum in what is obviously supposed to be a PVP game.

The PvP is bad, period. For many reasons including lack of PvP modes, yes this includes GvG – the heart of this game.

You Loreboys can go back to the PvE forums thx.

lol. you missed the point.
i don’t give a CAT about lore, imho this pvp is sad and bad. but this IS gw2. if you want SOMETHING to remember the old gw1, you can take the LORE of the game.
anet did a big mistake calling this game GUILD WARS 2 because there are a lot of us that think about gw1. they should call this game WORLD OF TYRIA

it is not gw1. there is not trinity we had in gw1. it is a mmorpg, gw1 wasn’t.
if you want somthing about gw1, take the lore.

admiralnlson.2380:

Please no PvE/PvP skill splits. It was ridiculous in GW1. Not this kitten again.

what ’s wrong in split?
just to let people having fun while balancing different parts of the game?

Archaon.6245:

Can’t play a crap…from tpvp to hot join…so considering i do almost 99% pvp tell me wtf can i do…yesterday night i left pvp cause it was lagging as hell and i decided to have a break in wvsw, guess what also LA was lagging like sh… and made me log out and in some times, also teleporting to another place didn’t work…basically i was stuck in LA and cannot enter wvsw, move away or even go back to mists….i logged out and stopped playing, and today while not having issues in the world as soon as i start something in pvp i start lagging like yesterday…fix your sh anet

fastweb?

Spuckuk.7083:

I originally thought thieves were overpowered, then I learned to play.

I wish more people would do the same.

too hard

Sprawl.3891:

p.s. they have already stated they are adjusting thief burst.

well if they will adjust thief burst less than expectations everyone will continue with QQ….

well in gw2 rank means nothing, but for tourney purpose only there are new titles they could work on, like avenger, ransaker etc etc…maybe a /rank about those titles could help in lfg issues.
or class titles, they could be deeper in those titles

i have noticed there are some channeling skills that follows the target (guardian torch skill maybe?) but you have to face the opponent in some way; and some channeling skills that doesn’t. so i think it is a “skill bug”.

mobility and facing opponent is not the same thing imho. btw as necro you can always fear opponent and channel every skill you like

well seems tpvp is already ruined. thx to streamers i have already seen a lot of copy/paste of their build.
rip originality

staff skill, DS, offhand that put conditions from u to opponent.
ofc it is a teamplay game so if u feel in danger u call fo help.

ShRNA.4376:

Everyone gets rewarded for their efforts in GW1 GvG and they dont need to PAY to start it.

idd.
but
NOT everyone can do the monthly tournament if they don’t have the qualifying points (?)

gw2 will be perfect or quite perfect balanced in about 6more months….so keep calm and play

stolen fear needs 2 (3?) secs to be casted. but i agree it is a little over..

try to build 25/30/x/x/x with ranger, berserk amulet and scholar or ogre runes, and tell me how much you crit …don’t forget to remember you dps and quickness on comand with 5 in pet mastery…

i agree only with the fact we need a ladder and ranking system. if you can’t stay longer on a game relesed 2months, 6days ago…well…good luck finding a game that suit you..
Ammandril.9150 : so people used to playa different game with a different pvp should be instantly pro here with no reason to learn toplay a new game….there are pandas in wow right now…seems very funny game…go there.

imagine wvwvw like a noob bf3 server..

campers..campers everywhere..
btw with a max 1200range. maybe..but still u have shortbow..

incisorr you should go back to wow if you think skill = better gear.. or just play wvwvw.
in pvp u get fun and competitiveness, if u like them…

Sniser.1297 :
about tanks doing no damage: game is conquest, so a unkillable bunker at a point grant you score to win the match.
about glass vs glass: well the first who hit wins. and thief have an advantage in this imho…but, if you as necro mange to put fear aoe under you…etcetc..

the sad part about people who wants premade and pugs plitted is that when u are in a pug team and u face another pug team, someone in the losing team will leave.
every time. and look at me, i usually play with my team free tourney becuse we really need to improve basic tactics we lack, but when i start some pug, i still have fun, even if i meet someone who roflstomp us…once i met TP, was fun too.
nice QQ’ing “puggers”.

“8v8 is there to teach newbie players how gw2 pvp works”
- devs dogma

..cool story

Syeria.4812:

While there might be some quality teams farming free tournaments for tickets, I highly doubt that it’s a meaningfully large number of teams doing that. There are plenty of organized teams that simply aren’t that great who would rather win free tournaments than risk losing in paid tournaments. I’d compare it to something like Counter-Strike where “pubstars” try out for an organized league and immediately lose a few matches. Instead of putting in effort and time to try improve and do well in that league, instead they go back to their “noobfriendly” server where they can be the best player on the server and dominate the players who aren’t as good. It’s not an issue of not being able to afford to play in the organized league, they just like beating up on lesser competition.

Adjusting rewards for free tournaments won’t do anything about that sort of team, nor will it resolve the problem of high end teams using free tournaments as a chance to practice or try out new builds. While it might get rid of one problem, I don’t imagine it would be all that effective overall.

i don’t know about CS, but if you lose endlessly paid tourney sooner or later you will end your tickets, so you will be back to your noobfriendly free tournament.
i still don’t understand the average player mentality: playing tourney and pretend to find only pugs… right now…. just wait for some new patches…

ilJumperMT.4871:

I’m gonna post 20k 100b warrior bursts to show how balanced is warrior. More survibility then theifs, more damage, more ulity, better roaming speed.

finally! someone who understood warrior>thief as utility for the team.

Buzzcrave.6197 : i understand it, but have u ever tryed to PW without haste to someone who knows what he is doing? you PW, he is stunned, then dodge = you hit maybe 1-2 times. where is the danger in it?
maybe if the #2 skill immobilize is longer (2.5-3secs), you can remove stun from PW making his dps faster. PW right now needs about 4 secs to do his full dps. put it to 2 secs max with no stun and add something else, like blind maybe. so thief can’t stunlock but can still use PW we loved so much.
just an idea.

fact is: thieves were good for their PW. PW doesnt kill instant, PW gives you about 3 secs to react…you did whine , they nerfed it. but the people who likes playing thief have found another good build now and you want again nerfhammer on him.

i say: ok nerf backstab to death, give me back my old PW. and this time maybe, really, everyone, learn to play against thief.
