Guild Wars 2

I never really thought about how dynamic events are actually incredibly static. All I did from level 71-80 was farm that stupid risen invasion event in that one place north east of Orr. It was the same thing that would cycle every 5-10 minutes and would reward the same amount of exp silver and karma every single time. The only thing dynamic about dynamic events is the scaling. I wish they would actually occur in different places/different times and not on a set schedule.

Another thing that bothers me is the fact that all of the mobs are the same. I only have 31% world completion but in all of the zones I’ve explored the newest mob type I’ve seen was the destroyers, and those are pretty cool. Other than that it’s like the same thing in every zone, it’s just boring.

I do like the game and I think a lot of the elements that are a part of it would make for a fun time, but right now there are some really bad balancing issues and other stuff like diminishing returns that make me unable to actually enjoy this game. I’m probably not going to play for a while and check back with the forums like someone else suggested because right now I’m not really enjoying myself :|

Or how about no auto-balance after a certain point? The autobalance feature is completely trash. To remedy this there needs to be an incredibly harsh quitting penalty that makes people wait like 5 minutes before joining another match. Or, like LoL style where if you quit, you can either wait until the current match is over or rejoin the match that you just quit out of. This will make all the bad ragequitters (like myself) stop playing sPvP or learn anger management and not quit the match and cause the game to autobalance.

I think people who play elementalists just need to get better. I see often people saying that a horrible ele is more noticeable than one that is good. I’ve been downed by eles in like 2 seconds before so I know they aren’t underpowered, you just get smashed if you’re bad

I leave if the map is capricorn
I leave if I get downed in a fight that went from 1v1 to 1vMany
I leave if I get downed by heartseeker
I leave if I get downed by hundred-blades
I leave if I get downed by a mesmer in any situation

There are a lot of things that make me leave the match instantly without thinking and I’m hoping they impose some kind of penalty for this because the amount I rage quit has kept me on rank 21 for the past 2 weeks.

I play a thief and I honestly hope they nerf us so I have a reason to quit

People don’t realize that armor rating means absolutely nothing

211 hours 80 thief

have 4 other char slots with interesting names but don’t really care for the classes

Hi,

I’ve been on Isle of Janthir since the very beginning, and through all the stress tests. I love the community here. The only thing I don’t like is that apparently it is an Oceanic server. I didn’t realize this when I chose it. I usually have to wait until it’s like 1-2 AM PST before there are more than 5 people in WvW. So, are there any servers or guilds that are more focused on my timezone? I don’t really care about losing in WvW, I would just like to actually be able to do it before midnight.

That’s what you do when you know you’re bad

alt + f4, serious. wouldn’t even bother.

Mesmers will always be bad if they don’t have their phantasms. Just remember that.

It’s a shame when any class you’re playing doesn’t get nerfed. I used heartseeker when I first started doing sPvP when the game was just launched, and quit using it at rank 2. Anyway, I mainly play my thief in PvE now and if they plan to continue to nerf skills it just won’t be fun. It doesn’t matter if thief is “OP” in PvE because who really cares.

I agree heartseeker spam is ridiculous and something had to happen but it’s really lame when the class you’ve invested hundreds of hours of time in becomes useless (assuming they will continue to nerf)

Posted 19 hours ago. Doesn’t look like this blatantly bad decision is going to become rectified any time soon.

How about doing it for the tokens? Or do it once a day? Dungeons were never meant to be farmed for easy exp.

Dungeons and everything else in the game.

What’s worse is that it’s all people just playing thief because they know everyone else is doing it. They don’t actually know what the hell they’re doing and just spam heartseeker constantly. Although I play a thief, I refuse to play sPvP; it just isn’t fun anymore. I can’t even say these people aren’t skilled because any mode of sPvP is a straight zerg. Even in tournaments people are cheating and using that gate glitch to get a head start. Really can’t be bothered.

Being downed by hundred blades or heartseeker spam is the only thing that will make me quit instantly before I am stomped by such a bad player.

The worst part about this map is the way the downed state is underwater. It is 100% unavoidable to have to kill them or else they can just remain in downed state and keep the point contested.. since there is no finish them option.

Hilarious. So, not only is WvW completely and totally unbalanced, people hack in it? Is this a product of that unbalancedness?

At this point I can’t even play sPvP because of things like this. Too many times have I been autobalanced to the losing team at the end of the game. It feels like a lot of the things that have been put into this game were put it and just expected to run as is. While ANet has done a fantastic job fixing the networking and FPS issues, it’s like they didn’t even look at sPvP and WvW before they were added to the game. I know it is early on, but I don’t have any reason to play for a long period of time until this stuff is fixed. I got up to rank 21 in sPvP and found myself playing 1 match every other day because of how lame it is.

Syphen.1980:

I wish people would quit whining about losing and get better instead of making excuses. If people want to transfer to winning servers and have hour long queues more power to them. if you transfer mid cycle you don’t get the benifits for that cycle.

I wish people would stop using the excuse “get better” or “you’re just bad” and admit that an aspect of the game is fundamentally flawed.

I personally don’t need to play wvwvw to enjoy the game at all. In fact, joining it now just fills me with rage and I would rather not even bother. I’m sure a lot of the people on other losing servers have this mentality and so ‘getting better’ isn’t possible. There is no such thing as coordinate when it comes to wvwvw. The only thing that matters is peoples desire/dedication to return to the fight after they’ve died. Most people are deterred from doing this due to the long travel times. And, no, “get better and don’t die” isn’t an option when it comes to zergs.

Solinox.6251:

90% of people just dont bother queing for it at all anymore. Whats the point? to get spawn griefed by teams with siege weapons set up outside the starting points? This has gotten beyond pathetic. Quit allowing free transfers, its ruined the game.

Support. I can’t even believe how much of a bad move it was to publish WvWvW rankings while still allowing free transfers. It should have been completely obvious that everyone would leave to the high ranking servers. Won’t really be surprised at all if they start doing server merges because of this..

No, your armor is dependent on what armor you actually have in the game. That is why level outside of wuvu makes a difference.

I’m on Borlis Pass also. I feel your pain.
1) Free server transfers have sent two peeps i know elsewhere for more competitive

I found this absolutely hilarious because when people transfer to servers like HoD, ET, etc, they aren’t doing it to be competitive they’re doing it to win. You don’t join epic zerg servers with dozens of guilds and expect any competition, you do it to take advantage of the fact that you won’t GET any competition. This is not how it should be.

Eh, the last wuvu I participated in was a few days ago. I was pretty pumped to start using gold to buy upgrades for keeps to actually bring something to the table, but.. I logged on Friday at the start of the first week long wuvu and saw that one server was already at 15k points while the other two (mine and another) were at less than 10k. At this point it isn’t even worth trying. At this time I think the winning server has 60-80k and my server and the other have like 20-30k. The way it currently is isn’t fun for anyone. Right now, I don’t think my or the other server owns more than 1 keep/camp if even, so we aren’t even in at all. The winning team is left to run around and do absolutely nothing until next Friday at the reset.

Don’t be deserters and just stick with your server

It even happens out of W3v2.

There’s some event where you have to push back centaurs from repairing a bridge or something and if you’re standing a little way away from the bridge the centaurs that are running to the bridge just fall over and die without seeming to have taken any damage.

joejean.6842:

And how much fun can it be to roll the map unopposed because all the other players just to log in to WvW? So the winning side will soon quit also due to boredom and no ennemies to fight…

Another MMO that didnt get it right, ho well, move along, another 100 games coming out in the next year… I had hopes for these guys, nice graphics, poor game mechanics…

This is the tactic some people on my server (IoJ) are using. Don’t enter WvW and the server who is smashing everyone will get bored and have nothing to do. It’s a really pathetic way to avoid feeling defeated.. although funny. Whenever my server is outnumbered and getting gamed like we are now I usually run 25% speed buff with thief and shortbow and run around the map harvesting nodes and killing some mobs because @ the huge difference that we are losing by there’s no reason at all to even bother. WvW has a ton of potential but it feels like they just put the idea in the game and hoped it would work out.

Thesilentflute.8761:

It is not the matchmaking systems fault you have no night crew. It its not lets take turns winning it is a fight there are winners and losers so step up or stand down. You could try recruiting from EU servers.

I love on this game how nothing is ever the game’s fault and it’s always the player who is in the wrong.
