Guild Wars 2

maybe because your rank is low too.
also depends on time, i usually q at afternoon or night, and its decent.

i’ve q’ed alot with OE, even got with supcutie, countless, zoose, 5g, magic toker, a lot of cruuk and ik too, well these known people and good players who i cant remember names.

i think the main reason for people stop playing, its because people want to keep their rank, they keep their rank by not Qing, only q like once in a week.

im sososo very sad

right now you can use transmutation crystal and transmutation splitter to transfer your legendary to another character

this amulet is ok in 5v5
its only annoying when some random use it in duals and make the dual last for over 20 mins and in the end will probably kill squishy by over extending the dual and by spamming skills

not just SAB, we dont have a single patch today, tbh i would careless about sab( not true) but not even a patch..i guess anet is known to set standards and slap its own face with.

not just sab, no patch is happening, not even a single patch.

or you mean rifle engi and staff ele are already being punished

or you can compare to other classes with 4 one handed weapon.

which is by design.

im sorry for your lost, personally myself, i made sure to log on everyday, even for 1 mins, just to check what they have on sale, and i bought braham’s mace since i already have the shield ages ago

100k glory, dont craft anything, at r40 you dont get anything good from craft, buy them in the vendor, cultural or dungeon sets.

The Revenant.4970:

Vol.7601:

They’ll never tell us.

But I will infer that we will have a patch tomorrow

Why?

Well the remaining blogposts are pushed to April 2- April 4.

How come they don’t put out the first blogpost on April 1?

Because they plan on releasing a patch tomorrow. They don’t want to mix up the patches and would rather extend the hype machine as long as possible.

When they don’t inform you about future patches, they are ‘ignoring’ you and ‘hiding in the shadows’. When they do inform you about future patches, it’s a ‘hype machine’.

You people are kinda unbearable.

You don’t get it, but it’s ok, since you are new.

They had a week-before announcement, which includes what would be in the next patch, yes, people were “hyped” or “not hyped” depends on what they announced and these stuffs were actually 100% in the patch.

People blame Anet for hyping stuff they haven’t announced,

“we can’t tell you right now, but next patch will have something really amazing, and cool, but we can’t tell you, but its amazing, game right now arent even good, wait for the patch, amazing!”

and people got hyped,
then bam, patch release, disappointment.

or stuff like " we will release this and that and all this great stuff"
people got hyped,
patch release, only one thing were there.

no one would blame anet for announcement of what will actually be in the patch and were actually in the patch.

so im sure every fractal runners have atleast one repeated skins.
and they will be useless after the patch

but let it aside

will you still get the skins you already have in fractal after patch.
…i guess it would be a huge let down for everybody

im expecting sab too, but its only 1 day left and no announcement

what about my friend who has 5 bear rank accounts

lol

just wondering.

engi necro conditions are like hambows

one is ok, when theres 2 in a group fight, a few SB(condition clean) wont be enough for all those CC’s(condition spamming)

all you can do is watch conditions tick.

Also berserker stance, so broken.

Give me a title/mini/visible rank and I’ll do it. The idea is for everyone to be able to see the achievement. Personal satisfaction is not enough.

^Ever considered that you might be a minority and that people actually do want to play an MMO with ridiculous amounts of grind?

The fact is that what you see as prestige, others just see as a grind. Do you really think people are going to respect you because you played ten thousand games of conquest? Just because you think you look cool with a shiny finisher, doesn’t mean other people give two kittens about it.

Anyone can go get a high rank very fast now simply by forcing autobalance in hotjoin and farming 100% wins while semi-AFK.

I respect the people who are actually good at this game and who work together well on teams. Not people who have a lot of games played, and even less for people who have lots of games played and nothing to show for it other than a finisher.

If it means nothing, then let those of us who want it, have it! According to you it doesn’t matter anyway so everyone’s happy. Is there a downside to this?

The whole point of my post is this: because rank doesn’t have anything to do with how good you are as a player, it doesn’t need to be exclusive or reserved for only 10 players out of a playerbase of thousands. Leaderboard/ ladder placement based on performance should be the basis for exclusive rewards.

On the flip side, a more attainable ranking system is also nice for new people entering PvP and gives them a sense of progression. Right now the current ranking system encourages absolute nolifing in a game touted for no grinding. This change brings it more in line with the rest of the game, and makes PvP more accessible for average players

If you want to grind, perhaps you should go to Runescape and level up your cooking experience to 200M. Maybe people will be jealous of your ‘achievement’ there.

Since you agree that a sense of progression is important, what about progression after we hit 80? Do we just stop playing then? What incentive is there?

Since your goal is to flaunt your achievement toward other players and not just a personal incentive, you would then use the leaderboards or the upcoming league system.

Before you say the leaderboards are flawed and terrible, that’s not a valid excuse.

Leaderboards are temporary. After I quit for six months and come back, what is there for all my past work? It’s like quitting for six months and all your legendaries and achievement points have been reset.

Why is this so difficult to understand? Is this so unreasonable?

Except your MMR is frozen, it is only changed when you win or lose a match. Your rating on the leaderboard is always changing if you do not play. You can quit for 6 months, come back and win one match and be back in the top 1000 again.

It’s actually possible to lose 3 matches and gain rank because of this.

So if I repeatedly lose a match (100 times in a row), my rank goes? What if I try new builds constantly and die a lot?

Do PvE’ers lose their legendaries when they die a lot in PvE or try out a new class, or take a break? I just..I can’t…why can’t people get this?

sorry but skyfarmer or hj farmer dont deserve anything in pvp, i think its quite clear here.

Too much access to CCs
and builds hard counters.

you can only mixmatch what is in the TP right now

everything else will become tonics or a whole set

mesmer forums is pretty much the only one which filled with reasonable people and actually constructive posts

They are removing this map, i bet so they can remove under water weapon system from pvp completely.

bs, why would you remove under water combat, just keep it and let people in HJ have fun.

instead remove skyhammer from soloq kitten .

when you see one capping their home and 4 at mid, or when you have a teamate died, because then your respawned teamate can take care of home. if your team is winning at mid no point to go there, since enemy will most likely backcap. usually people dont backcap if they are winning mid fight, except when theres a specialized decapper.

Durzlla.6295:

Reward the Elite players, not those who spend more time than others, there’s a difference.

This is an MMO not a MOBA. In MMOs, time is always rewarded. If a skyhammer farmer has reached r70 (unlikely), then they need to be rewarded for that nonetheless. It’s no joke to reach r70. Even so called “skyhammer farmers” would have to be insanely dedicated.

That needs to be rewarded. Skill, or no skill.

if you want to be rewarded for farming brainlessly, go play pve, or even wvw, no pvpers would want it, go away.

the mount of rank point you need to get titles are insane. i don’t think any r70 have gotten ravager yet, and reaper takes twice of ravager’s time

legendary champion requires literally 10 times of ravager’s time.

So basicalyl Thieves are from all classes in regard of moveability, just the 3rd place, when they are supposed to be the 1st place, because moveability is a thieve’s core concept and not that of a warrior or elemetalist, whose core concepts lie alot more on damage dealing and support, but not moveability >.>

You’re so dead wrong.
Stealth is your core concept. STEALTH.

Experts at stealth and surprise, thieves can move through the shadows, vanish into thin air, or steal items from their opponents and use them as weapons. Thieves practice an agile, acrobatic fighting style, which can make them very hard to hit.

Source : https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/professions/thief/

You know who is supposed to be the fastest class in game? It’s the ranger, the skirmisher. By definition, the ranger has no burst but sustained damage.
Now this is very bad if the ranger gets outrunned by other classes. They can get bursted down easily because everyone is able to catch up to them. On the same note, ranger can’t kill anyone because they can run away.
So, following this logic, all classes should have less mobility than the ranger.

They are the fastest.

Errr, no? Warrior has more mobility with shorter cooldowns and a 100% swiftness uptime. The ranger reaches non of those.

i love how you are arguing with a thief who probably has more thief experience then you will ever have, please learn to read.

fastest, most thieves mobilities are instant cast 900 range, while warriors single mobility need atleast 1 second of cast time. shorter cd only means he can long run, eventually surpass thieves in a long period of running time, like running for more then 1 mins non stop, only if he gear for mobility too.

while most meta thieves build have almost the same speed and mobile range. No matter how “fast” warriors are at long duration running, it’s useless, in pvp setup, a thief will always get to any point from home point way faster then warrior. Sure if you are just a wvwer “pro” who uses a fighting build and want to chase a “no good fighting” “good for long duration running” only war. please tell me a way to stop a thief from resetting “run away or stealth” in wvw, lets not mention these builds are also “good for fighting”. i know, cool story.

W.T.F…. Ranger… Ranger =/= Thief… I’ve never talked about the thief, where the heck do you think I’m mentioning the thief???

my bad, my head is all over those thieves who keeps complaining about warrior mobility every day, just read one few minuts ago in warrior section, which was ridiculous, i can not post repeatedly, so i’ll just edit this post,

tho my point still stands, which counters this thread’s whole idea and belief.

for PvP it might not be balanced, but for PvE i see huge potential, but anet just dont use it.

under water only map with under water cities and giant sea world boss, omg i would nerdgasm

Obviously, a rank 50 non farmer while always have a higher chance of being more skilled then a rank 30 non farmer.

Ofc, you can say team paradigm blah blah blah, its like saying there are 12 years old genius going to university, so age doesnt mean —-- in terms of brain development.
it’s called rare case, which can not be set as an example when the subject is general public.

Qaelyn.7612:

And what are they giving engineers to compensate, given their near total lack of ability to deal with conditions OTHER than AR?

Let me guess.. nothing.

I mostly play engi in AR.. not one designed for decap. I use AR to stay alive against condition-heavy classes. Maybe I should just start playing decap now?

or maybe you should actually get better, because every good engineer i know do not use AR, and think AR are pure BS.

They will add a new ladder where prestige belong

its like call of duty, level 55 10 prestige means nothing

only play competitve matches and earn a spot in the ladder means prestige.

i dont think anet want something you can grind in hotjoin to be something that represent dedication and prestige.

Chase.8415:

Name one MMO where PvP Players actually were cared about in regards to rewards vs PvE Players.

I would say Guild Wars 1, but apparently that is not an MMO (no clue why)

Things evolve, and in doing so PvP becomes less rewarding evidently.

i would care less about pve reward being more, i would care if they can bring their reward to pvp

yes, in the end you just watch pve players bring their fancy look to pvp while being lowest rank, even look is pretty much the only thing PvPers can aim for in pvp and having be working on since ages other then skill.

Marcos.3690:

Go play PvP now, so you can unlock rewards in PvE

Wait, to obtain the backpiece, do you need to play pvp, then have a tons of pve material to craft it,

or did you mean that, you have to do a tons of dungeons after playing pvp to get it

or did you mean that you have to do a tons of pve stuff after doing pvp stuff to get it?

or im getting something wrong?

because right now, you need to go do dungeon story and only to have your pvp reward track unlocked, so you can actually work on that.

So you can Unlock Reward Track in PvP
So you can actually start working to obtain the reward in PvP.

staff ele can only be extremly good when enemy team doesnt have a thief or a necro

ellesee.8297:

am i the only one who likes mm necros? i’d prefer it if every necro ran mm so my poor engi could stand a chance.

Nooo! Vee Wee! My frend! MM necro can OOXX your engi, you have a chance because most bad necros use MM!

OT:

most toxic, let’s say, cleric ptv hammer war, any kind, pure bs, gotta nerf
three stance s/s war, pure bs, gotta nerf
any thing hammer paired with berserker stance and cleric ptv, pure bs, gotta nerf
MM necro, obviously
nature of spirit, obviously
condition necro obviously.
staff bunker ele obviously.

just remove healing signet from this game already, also AR, diamond skin, and shave berserker stance to 4

I dont want to be rude but this map is bad

pretty much decap’s sausage fest.

So hello,

I main a warrior, but i’m all for nerfing healing signet, berserker stance, even endure pain, double endure pain.

But why Building Momentum, i don’t really get this one.

is it because axe sword, mace sword too strong? then nerf off hand sword? maybe?

i think by nerfing building momentum, more people will start playing hambow, or in another word, trait for bunker.

and in PvE this is pretty much the only thing that make warriors use their f1 skill. atleast from what i heard, since i dont pve much.

probably wrong section, can you move it to professional balance.

Thief is a god in wvw roaming, engi and mesmer come next, i might be wrong about mesmer because i dont play it. again wvw is never balanced.

Kincaidia.3192:

Harper.4173:

I’ve played both warrior and other classes – including thief.
If you want sad i’ll tell you sad- a level 40 something thief in WvW cannot die unless he wants to or is not even bothering. That’s how strong stealth and some of the mechanics of the class are.

Agreed. But that level 40 thief abusing stealth is not going to put a dent in anyone. Nor is he going to keep up with a warrior, and should he catch him it will be same outcome as a dog catching a car.

Warriors need mobility if they’re melee’ing. But those should be offensive skills to get close to a target, not defensive. That’s what the argument here. These are the skills with the official descriptions:

Whirlwind Attack should require a target
Whirl in a target’s direction, slashing foes along your path

Rush should require a target
Charge and strike your foe

Bull’s Charge should require a target
Charge your foe and knock down fleeing foes.

Savage leap should require a target
Lunge at your foe and strike them with your sword

I’ll even throw you a bone and say that Heart Seeker should function the same way:
Heart Seeker
Leap and strike your foe. The less health your target has, the more damage you cause.

Most Guardian skills already work this way

Judge’s Intervention
Teleport to your target and burn nearby foes.

Merciful Intervention
Teleport to the nearest ally with the lowest health and create a healing area around them.

They require a target, and if they didn’t, they would be considered broken.

this is one of the most broken comment i’ve ever seen in this forum, whos how much a wvw zergling knows about this game.

Cush.4063:

It will also make it so people won’t need multiple legendaries of the same kind for different alts so demand will go down because of that. That also means supply will go up for precursors seeing as you only need one to have it on all characters so the price could drop as well.

you will still need the real precursor, like transmuted precursors right now, those wont work for legendary crafting.

Its funny how either Locuz or Chase are in top 1000, but anyway

all you need to do is win, by win, i mean out performance, by out performance, i mean by winning 1v1s, be useful in team fights, and rotate properly between points, and properly target weakened enemy.

Get better yourself and carry you team.
a simple brainless build can not carry you, if you don’t know how to rotate or team fight.
top 1000 is easy

i have twilight but i dont like twilight on an asura and a human’s gs movement feels to awkward to be pvp imo. so ill probably stick with my sab gs

go go go, get dyes now

Maybe you should explain to me why the guardian is the best bunker with lowest base hp

Block skill chaining and easy access to protection. To do so however they have to give up on really doing any significant damage.

you are saying that guardian can have block chain and protection(and blind chain) but can do no damage?

i wonder what is a meditation guardian.

Implying that a meditation guardian can bunker.

Implying that a mediation guardian can Block skill chaining and easy access to protection. Please read what its written.

I’ve played a meditation guard. It doesn’t rely on protection at all, it’s mostly blocks, blinds, and dodges that keep it alive. It’s not a build that is meant for defensive purposes and is very reliant on skillful activation of a limited number of active defenses with high cooldowns to make up for its inherent squishiness. And it’s certainly not able to bunker.

So please, don’t make assumptions about a class or build that you have no knowledge or experience with.

So, A medatation guard doesnt have protection, let’s ignore hammer meditation build 1st, a meditation guard still has access to block chaining and blind spamming. does it render my argument any pointless? let’s make it clear that i did not say meditation guard can bunk before you start.

Thief and Elementalist are faster and sacrifice less.

what kind of bs is this?

warriors are the class that sacrifice less while having everything

which class have 20khp / 2000+ armor while having 3000+ attack damage + mobility on swapping weapons / stuns/block?

I’m sorry, but you, a no body(probably a zergling zerg wvwer too), calling a thief who reached top 25 leaderboard bs?

and based on your comment, you are clearly clueless, stuns/block on gs/sword wh, lol.
i personally agree on warrior nerfing, but your comment is just out of no where and you should stop posting.

MidoriMarch.8067:

i can stomp most of classess without taking any skills.
before anet nerf thieves on any they should nerf warrior first and buff guardians

lol i totally get it now, i really hope that no one take this guy seriously

Never said warrior’s gs + sword/warhorn got stun/block learn to read

mace/shield got all the stuns and block prove me wrong go play ur easy peasy warrior kid

and please tell me wheres the mobility on mace shield, you call me easy peasy warrior kid, i bet i can dual you with any class and win, based on how clueless your comments are. i bet your rank havent even pass 20 and didnt even reach top 1000 in either of the leaderboard nor like you can do anything extraordinary in WvW. and i like how you called BS to some one who clearly has more experience then you will ever have.

Warriors should just be nerfed to oblivion.

Rush: 40 seconds cooldown if it doesn’t hit a foe.
Savage leap: Requires a target.
Healing signet: Caps at 350 hp/s
Earthshaker: Cooldown increased to 15 seconds.

And everything will be fine in this world.

im fine with rush with 40 cd if it doesnt hit a foe, as long as it wont get affected by Chill or Cripple and getting its range and speed cut by 66% and ACTUALLY hit the target .

just like, say, ride the lightning.

Everyone always brings that up. I like how you try to put both classes on an equal ground when everything about warriors is better than eles. Okay so make it the way you propose, and while we’re at it also give eles 20k hp, stability traits, aoe stuns every 10 seconds, weapon swap and a low cd elite to abuse lyssa runes :^)

Dem warrior fanboys.

im fine with ele with 20k hp and all as long as warriors can have 20 weapon skills with insta burst and huge aoe damage. if i really tried to put both classes on an equal ground i would have said much more stuff.
