Guild Wars 2

Just like I get kicked out from Queue randomly after Accepting Match

@Kitt

You do realise that Gw2 is like an almost only MMORPG game of it’s kind to be in eSports?
Why are you comparing Gw2 to LoL/Dota/SC2?
Those are MOBA games and SC2 is RTS.

Look at eSport list.
It’s filled with MOBAs, FPS, RTSes.

I’m more for adding +50 or +100 to all stats in Celestial Amulet.
Then maybe I’ll consider it being OP.

Tao.5096:

Simply I was unlucky because on every corner I happened to bump into them.
Happens.

That isn’t you being unlucky. That is them having map awareness and you not. Not trying to put you down, just helping you learn. Maybe not all your fault your team isn’t calling out inc’s so then you have no idea where they are. As soon as you see even the 2nd person coming in, you should be disengaging.

That may be the case.
But I cannot spot enemy team members movement if they don’t engage in fight with my team members. And Battle of Khylo map is nice enough to allow you to sneak up. Especially on Mansion xD

sinject.4607:

countless threads about this and anet refuses to comment in any shape or form. the most influential thing in the game at the moment, the very thing that is shaping the competitive meta for the worst, and not a single letter from the developers. i dont know whether to be just disappointed or just downright disgusted at this point.

And what is there to comment on about?

I’ve learned myself how to deal with celestial builds.

How about the rest of the people learn as well and stop demanding to be babysitted.

Gw2 just entered eSports and you expect $10 000 000 winner prizes.
For real?

Roundabout.1752:

I hope I don’t pull this off topic but I just started doing Fractals and the only skin I’ve seen is 1 backpiece. Am I missing something?

Fractal Weapon Skins.

Of course there are other ways.
But each time I did went for their point, they came.
Not saying same people, but same tactic.
And you can’t do anything when you get Moa thrown at you from stealthed Mesmer.
When you start getting bursted by 3 people at once, then it’s over :P
Simply I was unlucky because on every corner I happened to bump into them.
Happens.

Nevertheless,
Neutralizing Enemy’s point is valuable and people should learn to count it as an advantage and contribution.
I had many such times, where enemy simply scored to 480, and my team was 420.
Kept 2 neutralized points and one for us, and we won.

Like someone did mention,
You go far, you go 1v1, then 1v2 and maybe even 1v3.
I find it as a great advantage to your team, because one teammate turns into Dolly and lure enemy players to their Home, while your Home and Mid welcome you with open arms.

But, if someone who go far – I personally had such matches – did drag attention of even 3 enemy players, and my team couldn’t kill even 1 out of 2 opponents in mid? Couldn’t even neutralize it. Should I facedesk or facepalm?

Had also situations where on my turret engi I was camping our Home. Enemy teammates constantly coming to cap our Home. And some kitten nab flames me for camping Home, because they can’t cap Mid = logic?

To be frank.
No one bothers to see the situation, and tend to burst out and flame others for their own inability.
I’m not denying the fact that there are people who are completely clueless and offer free +5 points for enemy team per encounter, but doesn’t mean they have to go all emotional about a simple pvp match xD
Hence, let’s drop the fact that most of them are Dragon Finisher users with Pinokio noses, who believe it’s something to be proud of.

Jelzouki.4128:

The thing people don’t realize is sometimes they have to suck it up and make plays according to where their other teammates are going. You can’t always expect random pugs to follow your every order. People think this game is about the solo grind; NO. The classic response from the guy with 0 pts at the end of the match is “I keep getting ganked” ya well may be you should adjust your gameplay to the way your teammates are playing. I know points don’t really matter but 0? Do you even tag kills brah? Expecting your mates to adjust to the way you’re playing is stupid, because it won’t always happen. If all your mates know map awareness is key, coordination should be simple and you should be winning those matches, unless your comp is completely countered or they just suck at playing their class.

Oh I had few such matches.
It looked like this:

• went out of spawn point
• went for point
• 3 people jumped on me
• Moa → Immobilize → 2x ranger burst + mesmer conditions
• in last minute I managed to score 55 because finally nailed them spread accross whole map

If you’re focused by few ranged classes, and you’re melee, forget about even tagging.

Playing for almost a year. Doing Tequatl the Sunless everyday. Sometimes even more.
2 Tequatl Hoards dropped.
It’ll take me another 10 years to get them all.
And all I care about are skins.

Good luck.

I’ve ceased to purchase anything via LFG.
Am bored of those scammers honestly.
It’ll certainly hit fair sellers, because many do stop buying dungeon paths.

Not sure what Anet does with them.

Norn Female

• dat voice…makes me delete them right away

Norn Male

• if there was an option to make them look similar to Human’s muscular build, would make it. Tattoos are kewl, but looking like a Tank? Caman

Charr

• interesting concept for running. I dislike the way they wield greatswords and walk and run on 2 feet. Lookds terribly to me. Ascalon War FotM made me hate them.

Sylvari

• I liked first concept of Sylvari which resembled Wood Elves. I dislike to look like a cucumber or carrot.

I’m playing all classes and like them.
The only thing, I would prefer Warrior dual sword to be not condition one, but physical.
Same with Engineer’s Pistol/Pistol.
But that’s personal PoV.

Necromancer is too OP.
Nerf pls!

Solstice.1097:

Go to whatever point you want to. If you suck and going to die quickly then I prefer you distracting them a little bit at far instead of rallying the first person I get downed at mid.

Neutralizing enemy’s Point should be called a success, even for someone who’s 1st timer or a simple pve player who do pvp for certain stuff(Balthazar back item).

I don’t expect them to kill anyone. The longer they stay alive and neutralize enemy’s point is more than enough for me.

Many people don’t appreciate it.
Don’t know why.

I doubt it would have anything to do with esports while it would be perma thief shadow stepping and mesmer teleporting.

xDudisx.5914:

They ignored fgs in pve for ages, then 1 guy killed the lord in like 3s with that in a tourney they were livestreaming and then suddenly on the next update -70% dmg to fgs #4.

Then it’s even funnier if they fix stuff based on what’s happening in Tournaments and not consider reports and tests some people do.

Dessertblade.9651:

Im newbie in this game, and I have to say that, comparing GW2 with other mmorpg, this game has very good things and very bad things. And PVP is one of the worst. The learning curve in this game is terrible, every new player who enters only will see death and destruccion everywhere, and will be frustrated by the infinite deaths he will suffer before to know something. The impossibility to make a duel with a friend, or at least a combat 1vs1 impossibilite to learn in other way but the trial and error. The nule explanation of combo fields or mechanics ingame dont help. And zerg mechanics and how bad is be in a small sized group or alone made it worst.

I know that AN wants a multiplayer game, and dont want SPVP. But SPVP, duels or whatever, are a very usefull system for learn how to play. You can see the different capabilities of other classes and you dont have to play from 0 another class only to know how to defeat it. There is not equilibrium, only explosions. No time to think or to learn. Too much important the teamplay to do nothing alone, and too much effort to learn how to play.

Oooh, you seem to have experience with PvP in other games.
Mind sharing which game has awesome PvP with least of flaws?
I hope you won’t mention complete RNG/BestPossibleGear games.

NeXeD.3042:

Neither of these techniques effect the game enough for people to be championing it and saying omfg I’m so leet I can do this. Sounds like you are just salty against eles getting an extra 200 hp every couple minutes or so….

Nope.
I’m salty about people who play eles and think they’re godlike, meanwhile they die, and start flaming you, for their lack of “skill?”.

I also didn’t say those exploits have any effect for me in the game.
What I meant was that most of them who rely on doubled heals from autoattack will cry when it’ll be fixed – if it will be fixed.

NeXeD.3042:

Who is egoboosting… what…… I hope you don’t mean me. I can do both of these techniques in the middle of a fight…. they are very simple to master…. and I don’t claim to be good at all. I find it laughable when people focus on something like this because they can’t do it and blame it as the reason they lost to whatever player. If they remove it I won’t complain, but if they remove it what just remember you won’t have your go to excuse anymore =)

Nope.
I mean people who actually use it, depend on it and try to look like a hero in game.
Not pointing out here, just mentioning present silly mentality which some people do have.

I only am going to laugh, since those people are used to that heal boost.
The moment Anet fix it, is the moment their heal is reduced by 50%.
Because I’ve seen couple of prO eles with high healing capabilities – thought they’re just good – maybe it’s that case where they had macro on it.

If they’re killable now even with those silly exploits, then it’s going to be a fun time when it’s fixed.

In PvP Arenas, I can clearly say, that Elementalist community has the biggest amount of prO egoboosted nabs, who only flame&block when they get facerolled.

For the first time did read that yesterday on forums.
Haven’t really noticed in game.
I don’t really see it as something that needs #1 attention.
But if someone does get egoboosted and kitten about it because he’s exploiting and manage to win with someone – shows the value of those people.

Once that will be fixed, those people will be constantly on the ground due to lack of dps and healing.

Terrible class balance?
Is that a new excuse for – I cba to improve in pvp – ?

It’s quite funny attitude.

butch.8136:

And a mount without a speedbuff? Would that be a problem?

I know it would be ‘useless’, but it would rake some money in for Anet and my asura would look fabulous on it. :p

There are travel items w/o speedbuffs etc.

Instead of crying loud about mounts which are the same as those travel items, how about simply ask Anet to make more of them?

Don’t go Far, because we can’t handle 2 players from opposite team with 4 players from our team. You’re necessary. Don’t be a nab and help.

That’s 90% of times what I see in PvP ranked arenas.

After 1st sentence I knew that this thread will be about Mounts again.
Desperate people are desperate…

If you’re routed through Level3 in Germany, then yes, you’re going to dc a lot.
Why?
Germans don’t give a kitten to fix their network infrastructures.
They even don’t give a kitten to reroute their customers.

Get yourself a VPN server to reroute yourself.

I don’t know who you are OP, but I believe that any decent warrior would kill you with dodge roll alone.

WvW isnt really pvp in my opinion, it’s a huge battlefield where individual skill is less important.

L2Roam.

You guys kitten too much.
Chill out.

How does basic and default in-game function for pets to attack hostile enemies is supposed to be treated as botting? xD

Rickster.8752:

I think it is better to just play WoW as at least the gear grind can be maxed out by all classes there.

Go play it then?

//

Everything is working as intended. There are no bugs.
No one is immortal in spvp.
Whining and complaining won’t improve your ability to play in PvP arenas.

There is a saying:

Kids are like farts. You don’t smell your own, but others stink like kitten

I’ve been with many people like you lot here in arenas.
All i did see is that, you people are the most toxic due to your way of trying to justify everything around and flaming people you believe are bad or do not do things to your liking.
Which end pretty much with you people blocking those who do not care about your opinion, and now you want a system that banish them, because you don’t like them.

Hilarious in my opinion.

Fun fact:
- Pwn prO macro user = Block + whisper flame spam.

There are no hackers in Gw2.
You have lagged.

I’m always semi-afk.

Should I also report chest train farmers for making me not able to switch map and successfully do events such as defending Forts and Dolyaks?

Why would all other classes suffer because war and guard do that in zergs?
Why would Thief upon successful positioning in stealth get 2k spike in the face back upon successful Backstab landing?
And that applies to all other classes.

I would agree for scaling – something like:

• If damage is higher than X then Retaliation reflect 400 damage. If lower than N then scales accordingly.

Well, the point why % of damage to be given back is bad is because, all classes which do have a Spike damage, to succeed they need to prepare.
For Ele’s Fire grab, they need to put and maintain Burn condition on target.
For Thief’s Backstab, must be in stealth and behind target.
For Warrior’s Hundred Blades(dunno if you can call it a spike, for me it’s a useless skill) target must stand still in front of you.

etc etc etc

Some have smaller and so easier pre to spike damage, some have more complex ones.

And let’s not bring blob fights into this because blob fights aren’t about balance.
Main factor in blobs, is organization, Combo fields, Stability, kittenload of other boons, and number(it’s not that decisive, but it should be taken into account).

SilverWF
Retaliation is balanced as it is now, and I can promise you that there is no other MMO game that has better Reflect thing than what you have in Gw2.

TERA Online – in PvP battlegrounds, people use Mirror Charms, get naked and let Cannons hit them. They die because they’re naked i.e 0 defense, but Cannons explode as well, because they get damage reflected to them and it’s a minor % of damage.
AION Online – Sorrcerer has a skill that reflect even up to 1.4k damage per hit back, and 12k hp is normal for everyone.

What I’m trying to avoid, is to make Retaliation Boon, something that will make people to not even use their weapon skills.
High HP pool, Tanky, good heal and Retaliation spam.
Voila, let everyone hit me and explode.

As you have played other classes, you should know, that Scalling Retaliation up to damage will mostly affect other classes, and Wars and Guardian won’t really care much.
That’s because, Guards are using Staff for tag, which doesn’t do much damage anyway, and Warriors use Hammer or Greatsword, which is a Slow Attack type of weapon – they have Healing Signet + Adrenal heal, that’s 1k heal spike.

The most will suffer Ranger, with Piercing Arrows because with Rapid Fire he’ll hit up to 5 people with Retaliation and explode.
heck, I can assure you that I did test it, with 80% crit chance and 220% crit damage +2.9k Power.
I did that in WvW on zerg with retaliation.
From 18k Hp I had ~5k hp left. Scalling it up on % damage inflicted = instant downed.

Who will rule in zerg fights then?
Warriors, Guardians, Turret Engineers, Staff Necromancers.

Who will suffer the most?
Thieves, Elementalists(scepter/staff), AoE Mesmers, Longbow Rangers.

I understand that you would like to hit classes that have High survivability since they dominate in certain scenarios, but at the same time you hit squishy ones.

There are classes which have Power Build as a strong point, Condition Build as a strong point and both power and condition to be equally strong.

But that idea is bad.
Why?
Because classes that aren’t strong with conditions will suffer the most.

It was proven many times that punishing usage of certain builds is bad.
Instead of punishing, find a solution that work fine in both ways.

If retaliation hit for 400 – and it’s too much, then reduce damage to 300.
It’s not that much of change, but it doesn’t make Retaliation Boon useless and punish mindless bots less.

What kind of diversity are you talking about?

PvP filled with condition builds and PvE filled with power builds?

Then sure, overall ratio is 1:1 for builds. ‘_’

Good analysis.

I personally treat Meta in Gw2 as a newbieguide.
Still, I believe that everyone should anyway experiment and set their own builds with which they feel the most comfortable.

Not a bad idea.

Flaming Melon Mesmer

I have over 300 of those globs.
And I didn’t salvage even 200 exotics.

Jelly?

Shatterer’s face looks dumb and unoriginal.
Would not buy.

If Anet is so much focused on China and contribution there – many examples of their focus there has been proved with in-game development and changes – then sure, I’m for it.
Le abandon NA/EU go for Asia.

No Cantha. No Crystal Desert.
Anet will focus now on pleasing Asians.

inb4 prO KOrean MMO

Let’s revive old Trains in Queensdale.

Aither.2859:

How to fix GW2?

Bottom line is to stop playing the game.

I agree.
Now give me your stuff.

Thank you.

Okay, phrased it badly, since didn’t pay attention because majority won’t understand it anyway, and phrasing it even like that is fine.

So, let’s say it this way – chipset firmware and driver for chipset are crap if it comes to AMD. I do have AMD CPU which perform very good in Single Player games and so-so in MMOs.

If it comes to AMD Graphic cards – thanks to their failures, unstable drivers and software, repetitive mistakes of old ATI, I’ll stick with Nvidia. And just because AMD has MANTLE and drivers became Open Sourced, won’t change my attitude toward them. Cards are good, can’t deny that, but let’s be frank – poor official software support from AMD kills it, at least for me and others.

The only problem regarding rewards is, that people skip majority of the content and gain access to rewards at the end.

What’s more funny, those people yet complain that those rewards are way too small.

Sw Cave JP shows that there can be a system which is already implemented on that JP, where you cannot skip any part of that JP, otherwise you won’t have access to rewards at the end.
I hope that system will be implemented in all content that are skipped the most.
At least before they’ll boost rewards.

Game was advertised as, easy to obtain endgame gear and weapons.
It’s a strong point, because 99.9% MMO games endlessly promote grinding for top gear and weapons.
Here the only thing you may grind are actually skins.
Skins =/= endgame Gear

Those are cosmetic and optional, yet people treat is as endgame stuff and whine about them being hard to get.
There is loads of things to do like mentioned before – Fractals, WvW, PvP Arenas, World Bosses(not only timed ones like on dulfy.net) and various other things.

I also, would like to ask to not use RNG term so easily compared to this game – because with my experience, Gw2 has the lowest amount of RNG based things in game.

AMD drivers are crap.
Despite so ossom power numbers and other Shiny things, drivers which are supposed to allow to use such power simply are crap.

That’s about both, GPU and CPU if it comes to AMD.

Also, SLI isn’t really a way to go. Best option is to experiment with Nvidia Injector to find the most optimal setting.

What’s more, it’s not a rocket science, that MMOs are CPU Power Hungry, not GPU.
