Guild Wars 2

Thier Auto attack is useless when they still get globalled in a team fight, I couldn’t care less if it stays as is.

I think ANet thinks that by making solo unenjoyable, people will group up and run 5 man premades. Well most people instead opt for the other direction, which is not PvPing.

You find solo queing not enjoyable? I played only 300 matches or so in the last season, ran into a premade less then 10% of the time. It’s not a big deal at all.

Stop stressing about it lol, it’s barely even common. Anecdotal as it may be, whenever I Aus up as a duo or more the other team is always a group of the same or near abouts. Just play man and don’t worry, or group up with a random.

Had 2 instances of AFK players in Season 1 out of 300 matches, is it really that big of an issue that dev time needs to be spent creating a whole system and UI element for it?

Take a look at the season 2 preview. It WILL be a thing now.

I don’t reall think so. The amount of people that are willing to AFK out would be a minority anyway and the community is relatively self policing with naming and shaming constant offenders.

If you AFK out of a game you should be ashamed of yourself for being a terrible sportsperson anyway IMO. I just report for botting, add to block list and move on with my life.

There’s a lot more damage in PvE though, so they have higher HP pools.

My suggestion would be to not bother tbh. Arenanet aren’t going to completely redesign a bunch of traits for a single class and if they for some chance decided to, they would t take community input on it.

Easy solution, fill Capticorn with sand instead of water and remove cannon. There’s a conquest map. Take orb out of Spirit Watch, there’s another for you.

according to the majority MMR works by always matching them with bad teammates against a team of MLG pros

Haha. The irony of that thinking is that if everyone keeps getting terrible team mates, at some point Every player was the terrible team mate for someone else, strange how you never see a thread with “So today I had 3 matches where I played terribly…..”

The CC in GW2 is about as tame as CC in a game can get.

The devs have stated that they can bring class lockins as a thing when queuing to prevent class stacking, but then There is que times and people complained about not being able to swap to counter enemy team comp at the start of the match so they won’t do it.

What’s the point of collecting statistics for matches regarding classes when you can swap at a anytime before the gate opens?

Meh. I play hammer guard with a Grestsword as back up weapon. I have a blast, cry less IMO.

Sometimes I play shortbow ranger for giggles.

As a predominantly Guardian and now DH player I have the most fun on Revenant but I’m really bad with it, just can’t seem to get it to click for me when I play against equally or greater skilled players. I just get Rekt on it for some reason, but I have a blast besides the constant stompings.

Another one for me is Warrior, but I only play it so occasionally that same again, I’m no good at it.

Just put a target on the Druid, kill him and win.

choovanski.5462:

I’ve been playing DH because it dominates necros. work on ya play bud.

if I’m on my A game there is no class I fear in the DH. sure scrapper is a small God, but it dies to condi overload. DH is no God, but it eats up condis without giving a care. hence why I’m playing it over scrapper in the current necro heavy meta.

sure I got more years and skill on the scrapper, but I want even chance vs everything so I’ll drop the OP class if it’s weak vs condi spam.

What build you running? I’ve been using a few builds on my DH and some work, some don’t. Mind if I have a looksie?

According to the forums of BnS, PvP there is as imbalances as here and is a dead game.

News just in, people like to whinge about balance in forums.

Make or join a team, if you win games and get into that top spots and can get into ESL, you’re golden. If not, keep at it and learn where your weaknesses are.

I’m just a scrub Ruby player though, feel free to disregard.

Shaogin.2679:

I still run a burn Engi when I’m bored. Gets wrecked easily by condi removal, but it seems some people take little to no condi removal, or blow their condi clear just for that 2 burns and some bleeds, and then of course proceed to tell me how condi is op.

And the crazy thing is, I could have much higher survival if I just took the meta Scrapper build, but whatever.

A fair percentage of players take no condi removal, stun breaks or stability and complain about condi’s, “constant cc” and always stunned. I’ve always thought that condi removal, stability and a stun break are the 3 things a build must have. After that you get creative.

It’s got the best PvP in mmos. Mix of small and large scale. Competitive modes, no gear or levels required with sufficient rewards.

Jon Olson.8439:

That’s kinda what Call Target is for, no?

Not really. It’s useful in PvP when I select a target to see which of my team mates he has targeted, or when I select a raid boss to see if he changes targets for an attack. Calling a target is a completely different function.

1 thread complaining about it. I’ve never seen it mentioned anywhere else, but I’m glad you made a second thread about a skill that judge begs the Druid to be cleaved.

Or, just kill the Druid first and it’s a nonissue.

Lol kill the druid and replace it with what? We all paid 50 for specializations. Warrs were always bad so don’t complain please, Anet gave you what you all deserved: nothing useful. I love how you suggest to remove druid, lets find out your class and I’ll go in your post history to see when and where you complained about it when it was in meta. I don’t expect to find anything because people only complain when they get rekt. Good players, regardless of class, don’t get rekt.

I don’t think you read his post carefully enough.

Didn’t read it at all tbh.

I said kill the Druid, so he can’t res anyone and then it’s a none issue. Are you reading challenged or something? Massive rant about something completely taken the wrong way.

Action cam is all I use, I’ve not turned it off since I started playing again about 4 months ago. I use this for all classes, melee or ranged. Works great IMO.

I’d hardly call the last patch power creep tbh. There was a few needs in there, some small buffs to AA damage and more corrupt boon on necro, not really much to be worried about.

Isn’t this just adding to powercreep? Adding more stats for the sake of stats.

I guess balance is subjective, cause I don’t see all of those as “big issues”. Sure, a few number tweaks here and there. DH traps do have a cast time, well, one doesn’t the rest do. Eles seem fine when they don’t go seeker amulet. Bristleback is far too easy to LoS or dodge and is bugged half the time. Mesmer still does great damage, crazy disengage and has portal, time warp and Moa so will be a staple of teams that build around it. Thier got some AA damage, big whoop. They still get drilled within 5 secs on a point. Reapers die to CC and burst and u can cleanse most of thier condi.

Anyway, what changes would you like Anet to do?

Aren’t the top 4 pro teams heading to finals? I’d guess that the other teams are scrimming the new balance for season 2 and a lot of the top teams are preparing for the Guild Challenger cup in private scrims aswell.

I’m still getting super low que times on Aussie hours which is off peak NA but I can see a lot of my friends list either offline havin a break between seasons of doing other game modes.

I wouldn’t listen to the PvP forums as a dev either. Players rarely if ever agree on good balance and 99% of the threads and replies is garbage “balance sucks” and that’s about it. There’s nothing constructive in there at all.

That might be because Anet cannot balance the game.

Of because no matter how or what they change for balance there’s always whingers?

-.-
Excuses, excuses.

There are a lot of things that are inexcusable and contributes to just bad design.

Like what?

My last 6 games have been finished with a less then 100 point difference. The MM has been working fine today.

Why not just kill the ranger?

I’ve been enjoying the current balance. It seems nice and fast, free flowing and people actually die and stay dead.

To do ranked you have to be PvP rank 20. You’ve had your free trial. Either pony up for the expansion of make the core specs work. You can get to legendary with a core build, there’s been posts of it being done if you have the skill. If you don’t have the skill, like me, HoT isn’t going to help you either way.

It’s $40 USD. fair dinkum, don’t be so cheap. The game is worth that easy and Anet deserves the money.

I’ve used nothing but the action camera for the last 3 months, I love it.

It’s an 8 week season with 4 weeks downtime for balance and season finale. No point starting the new season when the pro players haven’t finished yet and wouldn’t be able to compete anyway (Challenger cup etc).

Make new builds, try something different, see some sunlight. It’s downtime so there’s not burnout.

As a relatively new player to Rev and a long time guardian player I really struggled to learn it. I’m not overly fantastic on it even after 100 ranked matches on it, it’s definitely different and has a bit of a learning curve.

It’s definitely more versatile and stronger though. If you do play Rev, try out the Power Shiro build, it’s hella fun, fast paced and easier to learn then a condi Malyx/Shiro build IMO.

As they say, “Gott put your money where your mouth is”.

Challenge has been issued. I’m thinking twojackson might actually win. Like most pro boxers and such, you don’t talk unless you can walk.

More importantly, did Acandis take you up on the team spot?

I’d meet you in the middle for True Shot, 5 sec cd maybe but the F1-F3 abilities are fine.

No. It’s Unranked, there should be more maps there. Clearly someone voted for it or it wouldn’t get chosen, ergo, someone else likes it. Your opinion is not greater then theirs.

Not going to happen mate. Conquest is the foundation sPvP is built on, for better or worse. I’d personally like to see some really small changes made to skyhammer, spirit watch, courtyard and Capricorn and then just throw them in ranked. Variety is more important then small unbalances IMO.

Pretty sure the amulet removal was done with the profession changes, it wouldn’t have been done in a vacuum.

Nova Stiker.8396:

PvP will still suck. This is ArenaNet guys, at this point the balance team needs a balance team. I’m certain at this point many of us can create a more diverse, complex and fun combat balance than ArenaNet at this point.

More garbage balance patches will still create more trash.

But hey, we got EEEEEEESSSSPUUURTZ

Post your top 10 changes to each class then, if every single person that reads it agrees wholeheartedly with you, then you might be into something. Chances are though, is that no one will agree with them, and you would be in the same position as Anet. You simply can’t make changes without a segment of the community thinking they know a better way to do it and they will whinge incessantly about it.

Probably not. The second half of S1 I never hit a full team queuing solo anyway so I’d like to think it was working “ok”. See what happens in season 2.

It was announced ages ago. 25 February.

Play DH, lay some traps, watch 90% of thieves walk into them and explode. Even better, duo with a necro friend with marks just to make sure all the thieves die fast.

Where are these short SH matches? Every single time I do stronghold of times out after the full 15 minutes.

I remember the “GW2 PvP is dead” threads were in full force a week after the game launched and have been a staple after every patch since.

Tbh it doesn’t bother me too much. There’s a small minority of thief players that are scary good, and a large majority that are average at best in my purely anecdotal experience. Most of the ones I see couldn’t land an auto attack let alone a full chain and a few hits and they just use shortbow and run off. At the highest levels of play it could be a problem for squishy players, but 90% of us don’t play at the highest levels anyway.

At the dizzying heights of Ruby I’ll still see Thieves explode on DH traps or Necro marks.
