In the current state of Matchmaking and very nice solo q vs premade, make it so that Turret Engi’s are quite OP.

Imagine if the Turret engi is in the premade, and you were solo queue’ing vs them.
Imagine the fact how that one Turret Engi, forces whole your team to focus on the 2 other points (which will doubtly ever happen with solo’ers, due lack of communication and, you’ll always have a beginner in your team cuz gg matchmaking)).

Turret Engi has more “sustain” than a bunker guardian, which doesn’t make sense, really..

I agree that annoying =/= OP, and that’s true.
But having a rocket turret hit u by 2-3k every few seconds (which even follows you), not even to mention the Thumper and Net Turret and the rifle auto attack ofcourse..

It’s a bit like the Celestial Ele/engi/warrior discussion; too much sustain (too much damage while having too much survivability, which is the toughness in this case)

I’ve been playing all 8 classes for quite a while now and I can honestly say that Turret Engi itself is not OP, but the Turret’s damage is.
Only thing it would need is the Rocket Turret damage atleast halved or the cd on attack doubled.

felivear.1536:

I’ve played PvP since beta, and I can’t recall a single time that the “ready up” button has caused a match to start earlier than the timer.

I think the wording and placement are the issue.

• The wording is somewhat confusing. I believe many people probably assume that hitting the button denotes that they are NOT ready.

• Placement is somewhat incognito.

Could we consider having the button moved to a more prominent position and also update the wording to something like:

“Click here when ready to start match”

Thanks!

I agree, it’s quite confusing to know when you’re ready or not, different wording might be in place (for new players)

It’s not a bug. No player skill in the game prevents condition damage. You’ll have to cleanse them or wear them off. It’s a simple rule so no need to bloat all tooltips with that information.

Warrior berserker stance prevents condition damage. Not sure if that’s the only one.

No it doesn’t. It only reduces condition duration by 100%. If the opponent is running +Condition Duration buffs you are still affected.

There is no Condition Duration buff in PvP, you’re talking about WvW.
Berserker Stance actually makes you immune to new conditions in PvP

Is that a fact? I mean there are still sigils and runes that increase condition duration. Have you tested running those and trying to apply condis to warrior in Berserker stance?

Could be that it works differently in sPvP than WvW, of course.

Berserker Stance covers the whole trait/sigil/rune buffs, too (in PvP)
Sigils + Rune + Trait + original skill duration = 100% (follow Anet mechanics)

Example:

I do have tried this when running Condition Ranger with shortbow (Bleed stacks on auto attack) with rune of the krait (increase bleed duration by 45%!!!) and Sigil of Agony (increases bleed duration by another 20%!!!) and Warrior gets no bleed stacks.

I’m pretty sure even in WvW with 40% food, no conditions can be applied, I think.

If it does, then WvW is pretty broken and kittened up

Ok so that answers the question about Berserker Stance. Thanks. What about my other question about other condition reductions? Are they also applied after the whole Condition duration + stacks are calculated?

My guess would be yes

To OP: You cannot take any kind of new applied condition/damage on you when you’re Invulnurable.

However, if you already had conditions applied on you before using the invuln skill, the conditions will remain ticking.

Fix your computer pls

It happens because YOU lag

It’s not a PC issue, like half of my guild has this issue on EU in PvP

it’s still down to lag.

just because half your guild has the issue, doesn’t mean they have good computers and/or a good internet connection.

Also the further away you are from the main server the worse your ping.
ie an EU player playing on an NA server is likely to have slower responses than if they played on an eu server.

All of my guild are EU persons and play on EU.
And it’s not just my guild, like everyone has it sometimes, somewhere in EU.

Either its Theif Shortbow 5, Mesmer’s blink, Ele’s LF. Only happens with teleports aswel. If connection was low, there would be more sign of it.

So not sure if bug (which I actually think it is, because when I really lag hard with high ping, I can still make the teleport after a few seconds. IN this case, we can’t teleport while we don’t lag) or it is lag from server > client side on the teleports (lol?)

Narkodx.1472:

It’s not only on Ele, its basically on ALL teleport skills. Have it alot of Mesmer (Blink)

I changed Character and suddenly my fps dropped from 60 to 5.

I decided to restart the client, but ended up not able to start the client even.
Tried several times, but keeps giving this Error..

Cynz.9437:

the fun part is gw2 server is actually in frankfurt lol

but ya lag is stupid evenings, can forget pvp

Ya, noticed you lagging like crazy in our Tournament yesterday evening.
Everyone’s connection seems fine, so I really can’t understand why there has been nothing done about it yet.

On the other hand, they’re (Anet) stationed in NA, so they can’t really experience the problems we have back here, in EU I guess.

This ain’t just PvP btw, it’s in LA and PvE content aswel..
Mostly rubberband issues and DC’s

Noticing it too, lots of lags and dc’s last cpl of days.
Not only in PvP though, like everywhere

Thaddeus.4891:

Its one of the top 5 best profession in pvp right now, so its not that bad of a place. The problem with Warrior is that ppl use to play a lot of GS, but it got nerf bad. Ppl just have a hard time trying other weapons I guess.

For PvE, Warrior are pretty much buff/banner kitten only now. But they are really good at that lol.

Just wondering.. What 3 classes are out of your top 5?

Just bumping again for the new Thieves among us!

Bump, too many new threads being made ;<

Update about 5v5 Tournament of the Gods:

We revoke/remove sign-up fee’s for now and in the future!

Idea: We’ll need you, the PvP Community, to sponsor our Tournament by sending us gold, which we put into the Prize Pool.

Individuals/teams/guilds sponsoring our Tournament, will be acknowledged in our Shoutcast. We even offer to put your team’s/guild’s emblem/logo onto our Shoutcast Overlay + shoutout/advertise as a sign of gratitude and as a return of a favor,
which is a great way to advertise your guild.
This can be for PvE, PvX, WvW, PvP guilds, all kinds of guilds/teams, really!

Ofcourse, we do expect if you want to have your guild advertised, you need to donate/sponsor more than an average individual

We want teams to be more motivated and not let them ‘waste’ gold on signing up.

All interested individuals/teams/guilds can contact me here or ingame Terrorsquad.2349.
NA teams/guilds are also allowed to sponsor, ofcourse.

Individuals can also sponsor anonymous to Terrorsquad.2349

Sponsoring does NOT need to be permanent as we are investigating other ways of gaining permanent sponsoring through other sources in the future!

I thank you for your time

First Official Tournament @ Saturday 14th of February, which will be shoutcasted @ http://www.twitch.tv/brunners90

Chaith.8256:

FrozenFlame.5163:

You need at least a large portion of the guild to participate in the gamemode to mark it as the best guild.

No, what he’s saying is not rubbish. The caliber of the players are much less observable in a 15v15 teamfight. Seeing abilities and reacting to them, dodging, defensive positioning, baiting of cooldowns, these skills which are usually tied to player skill become almost impossible to perform, or pick out.

Also, your reason why a guild team of 5 or 8 players can’t prove who the better guild is – that’s rubbish, lol. PvP guilds are very often, 5 players. Who are you to say a Guild has to be a certain size to be legitimate?

Afaik, those are called teams, which happens to be confirmed by Anet and ESL/DPS/Mistpedia/AG.
They are only using the feature to wear the same tags.
They are far from being a Guild, literally.

That’s why I’m kinda with Frozen with the quote ‘best Guild’ for 1 reason:

The players of that team, will switch guildnames, switch teams (or “guilds”) etc, making it far from being the best Guild. There won’t be a solid 1st “Guild” in that Leaderboard.
Those players don’t care about their “Guild”, they do care about their ‘team’ and win.
Lots of players from certain teams switch teams every 2-3 weeks back and forth. This will remain the same. (look ESL)

Which is why I am against the quote saying “nr1 Guild in the Game”.
Because they have no1 but theirselves to bring honor to. Only their tag, whic is the only thing they got.

Hell, some players will be in 2-3 so called “Guilds” in top 10, that’s how much they care about “Guilds”..

FrozenFlame.5163:

I dont think this new gamemode is the GvG as many people want it/are expecting it. I mean, a 5v5 objective based gamemode? We already have those!

How is the guild on top of a scorelist based on this gamemode the best guild in the game??? That guild just happens to have 5 players who are extremely good at capping stuff and killing a guild lord…

When I think GvG, is see two guilds (at least 15 member of each guild) fighting against the same number of people from another guild! Not capping some stupid point or killing some lord-dude…

Anet please, its so simple to implement a viable gvg system, just let guilds be able to open a private instance of OS in their guild hall and invite another guild to it!

That’s what I thought..
In all the MMO’s I’ve played, GvG was pure killing eachother. 10v / 15v15 or 20v20..
Was stoked when I heard GvG.
I cried when I heard trebuchet, supplies, heroes and a Lord…
If I want WvW small scale, I would move to low-pop server and get a party and do that ;<

..doesn’t start.
When is this bug finally going to be fixed, been here since start.
Anyway to unbug it right now?

Warden is got rezzed, chicken seems out of cage but warden keep standing at cage where chicken was in. What now?

Help asap, pm ingame if needed.
