Guild Wars 2

Some of us refuse to play condi based builds because it promotes passive play, when you nerf everything power [Mortar- and Nades] it’s hard to not go play a mindless condi build.

It’s just sad when we’ve been asking for turret nerf for well over a year and this takes them only 24h to nerf when it didn’t need to be nerfed.

Revert the nerf or make it 10% instead of 28%.

Don’t let this thread die until anet listens for once…

I’ll be calling everything by 6/6/6/0/0 still.

PPT wars died in 2013.

What is match fixing?

Spying, multiple accounts, siege trolling?

Can we please have an concrete set of what match fixing is considered?

The problem is it requires 0 skill to pull off a venombomb with 0 risk involved.

Any group can pick up venombombs and suddenly their bombs are massively strong.

azizul.8469:

you can’t condi clear it ?

When it’s reapplied almost instantly it’s not fun and if you are a necro getting caught by venom immobilize you are pretty much dead.

The only thing that they can fix is making it possible to dodge roll during immobilization or make it back to how venoms were that it scaled off the condi duration of the person you are applying it to.

It’s amusing watching people defend 3k auto attacks from 1500 range.

+1 to this, make it happen anet.

I honestly wouldn’t run SLI for GW2 since the game is CPU bound not GPU.

I run 780’s in SLI and I actually lose FPS when I have SLI enabled.

CI+Power lock in the same build is a major buff.

10% of all of WvW cares for GvG’s when WvW is already a small % of the population playing the game, sounds like a waste of resources.

Engi pin tanks the most, has smoke on demand access, water on demand, Invulnerable and a possible rampage roll to help things even more. Sure you don’t deal a lot of damage but a pin not dying is a lot better than a guard getting engi pulled and bursting every cooldown to stay alive.

Don’t really listen to “GvG” guilds coglin because they refuse to try something new.

Thanks for putting in the time on your weekend! Especially a long weekend.

I want to throw in my feedback: I’ve got 6500+ hours in with reasonable but not huge portion of it in WvW. The skill lag that showed up recently has been consistent and predictable, and like it was quite a while back when it was acknowledged on the forums (and fixed!)

I don’t think this is restricted to WvW, though. I am finding that I get the same skill lag during spawns of whatever world boss happens to be a daily (and sometimes with the non-dailies too).

So, it may not be just in the WvW servers but something changed in the logic across the board. WvW is a nice place to test though, definitely

Please also note that I’m one of those people who tells the 5fps crew it’s time for a PC upgrade…

currently:
i7 4930 @ 4.25Ghz
2 x nVidia 980GTX (not overclocked)
2 x Samsung 840 Pro 256GB SSD Raid0

And the game runs great at 4k resolution.

Graphics settings posted in case that helps. Please note the average ping time is because I just loaded the game. Usually I float around 90-110 using Shaw Cable in Vancouver BC.

I know how you feel, 4930k 3x 780’s 4k with SSD and I get sick and tired of people in teamspeak saying “LAG.. FPS LAG!”

Engi’s make the best drivers.

Fix the lag please.

Don’t forget the sepia filter that causes your screen to flicker.

Remove the flickering sepia filter.. kthxs

yay, wvw unplayable for a day until they remove it.

People want FA in T1 because they won’t hide behind 100000 AC’s.

I have a feeling it’s because the server has to calculate so many instances of stability now it’s overwhelmed.

Or some WvW servers were moved to HoT Beta testing.

Mag isn’t really a bandwagon server lol, just returning population.

#megsweg revival

I’d rather them fix the UI so I don’t have to squint my eyes to read chat on a 4k display. x-x

I run 26006 on my thief, I refuse to ever run SA since it’s a giant crutch. If I run into a complete condi cancer roamer I just go 06206.

So basically we went from GWEN to EN.

Stab changes are good.

Skyhammer+EOTM.. Just what we all wanted! zomg

Anet can’t fix it, so get over it.

Reanne.5462:

Well aren’t I the idiot, I had no idea HOD was so awesome – Anet feels since we kicked Sea of Sorrows kitten so well, they matched us up with Yaks! everyone should jump on the HOD bandwagon, we’re movin on up…

HOD Leached off NSP, not SoS

And the thing is, you could of min-maxed other gear on an Elementalist to get better stats for WvW since condi damage is useless on staff.

SweetFX is 100% safe, been using it for almost 2 years with no problems at all.

GemFX I’ve never used so I have no opinion over it.

zinkz.7045:

Byron.1902:

I’d like to strongly ask Anet as to why the current GvG scene has been ignored for the 3rd year running?

It hasn’t been ignored for the third year running, they built the arena in obsidian sanctum for “GvG”, it hasn’t been any more ignored than many other communities such as the RP community.

Byron.1902:

Since the early days of RG, Votf, CoN etc… we’ve developed a strong and popular fighting format based around 15v15 or 20v20.

It isn’t popular, WvW is a minority of the playerbase, and of that segment only a minority engage in GvG, nor would I describe it as strong the rate at which GvG guilds disintegrate, re-form, etc, is well interesting.

You also miss out the problems of “GvG” which make Anet supporting it as a gamemode an issue, such as the class balance which is absolutely terrible and doesn’t change because essentially the game breaks in large groups which makes certain classes OP and others too weak, engies & rangers basically do not exist in it, thieves & mesmers have been permanently underepresentated, the other four classes have been permanently overrepresentated, why should they waste time on a game mode that certain classes basically can’t play?

Engi is the only class that isn’t seen in GvG’s, the rest are. lol

Ascended just allows you to min-max your stats much more effectively, sure somebody in exotics can kill someone in ascended but not having ascended is a disadvantage if you face somebody with equal skill to yourself.

Just look at the scores of T2 NA this week and the week before PPK started. It’s for the better so I hope it stays.

So… JQ blobs before seasons non-stop and burns out before the seasons even begin, sounds about normal.

Slow updates, “Secret” changes, lack of “Why we are changing this skill” type of information and lack of GvG support.. It’s GUILD Wars.

I don’t know anymore… 6 months per “Major” balance patch is stupid.

Johje Holan.4607:

So the exact opposite happened of what needs to happen? SOS needs to shed OCX not NA Prime.

As much as Anet is to blame the player sure don’t help the situation much.

The problem is, SoS doesn’t have any guilds running on a daily basis during OCX because they have nothing to fight, It’s mostly all pugs.

You know the adrenaline nerf wouldn’t be such a problem if it was with the warrior from day 1, now it’s just going to be somewhat hard to adjust to it and get used to a complete rework of how the class works.

But I’ll be playing my longbow ranger for a bit, those changes seem good.

Dayra.7405:

Vermillion.4061:

SoS is a fairly dead server now.. It’s 4th over-all but the gap between 3 and 4 should be reflected as 400 glicko.. not 60.

Oh oh, rank 4 and dead?
That would mean 21 of 24 servers dead in NA?
Looks like we are very lucky to have language specific server in EU as this seem to hinder concentration a bit.

Probably it would be a good idea to remove the top 3 server such that the people have to redistribute again.

SoS lost a ton of NA recently, sure it’s not “Dead” but it’s not exactly strong anymore. If you removed the amount of ppt SoS gets from OCX/SEA they would be losing the current matchup.

SoS is a fairly dead server now.. It’s 4th over-all but the gap between 3 and 4 should be reflected as 400 glicko.. not 60.

A ton of guilds jumped ship to T1 since the tier was dead for fights/gvg’s and even more are leaving the server. Gold league is going to be fairly boring for seasons since it could of been a 4 way server brawl.. Now it’s just a 3 way server brawl with a dead week.

Jeknar.6184:

zhonnika.1784:

May as well say that there’s only 5 servers in gold, which makes it just all the more lame.

Not that someone can compete with the top 3 anyway…

SoS could of but they already lost… 8+ guilds in the past 2-3 weeks?

Mag is a T7-8 server now…

Anet won’t move them out of gold… gg

thiagoperne.7340:

And Good Luck to you finding a game better then gw2, or even close to it. See you soon!

The sad thing is, everything the OP has said is true, the game is great but the amount the developers care for WvW is sickening.

style.6173:

a 6 team swiss tournament makes no sense. I’m surprised ANET didn’t learn anything from the last tournament. I’ve love to see how you plan to have new matchups every week with that few servers.

*yawn. it is a repeat of last season, just shorter.

They can’t make gold any more then 6 servers.. Otherwise you are going to have the most one sided matches ever.

Mace F1 is one of those really hard skills to balance because if everything lines up and it actually lands on a target that has wasted stun breaks.. That target is dead.

Mag isn’t tanking.. It’s just imploding because nobody plays on the server anymore.

Support 4 T1 servers.
