Guild Wars 2

oh btw whats ur opinion on engis current state? i think they drastically overnerfed it

Hey i cant get this to work on engi. I get the stab just not the super speed anyone else having this problem?

Mes was the strongest thing in the game before patch. Now its even stronger with alacrity buff and everything else is worse.

Ya mesmer needed a serious nerf instead they nerfed everything else and gave mes a slight buff. Seriously the amount of nerfs engi got should have gone to mes instead. Engi was alright imo.

and you deleted ur post…

I said pretty much… learn to read. And yes I am that good. I am in the gw2 pro league and play against the best of the best players on a regular basis. Random guys in wvw don’t pose much challenge 1v1.

what does the meta have to do with wvw servers?

are there any guilds on maguuma that will pay for server transfers, i’m a really good pvper and am currently in pro league but im dirt poor

i mainly pvp so my kdr probably better than 2.00 pretty much never lose 1v1 and 1v3 isnt uncommon though it depends on what classes the other guys are playing, too much ranged or ports and u cant do it, at least on druid. But it’s a good server? I heard t3 was best for roaming

So i mainly do roaming in wvw, flip camps and sentries while looking for fights. Does magguma sound like the right server for that?

No i mean the starte pet isnt even one of the two i have equipped. I have bristleback and smokescale equipped but upon loading a new map it kicks one of them and puts on alpine wolf

No matter what pet i equip upon swapping maps my starter pet the alpine wolf gets re-equipped. Any Idea how to fix?

I think it would be interesting if after you hit legendary you can sell pips you earn past legendary, be a cool way to make some money for the good pvp players. That said people would get upset that people could just pay for what they had to work for. Honestly if u paid ur way to legendary because you couldnt get there on ur own ur going to have a miserable time in legendary when u get stomped on all the time.

Whenever I try to launch GW2 i get this error. Restarting my computer fixes it but if I log out and come back in the error reappears and restarting my computer is getting annoying. Anyone know how to fix?

Anet or maybe its just ESL agree with no class stacking if you look at the pro league. The issue is implementing that into ques as que times would increase a lot. Preferably classes would just be balanced enough that having two is never a good thing.

On forest the beasts are much easier to kill and arent protected by a gate and minions
I personally like the idea of lord but i think he does need a buff downstate would be a good way to do it

ya its dumb but they have to decide a winner somehow, i dont think it would be bad to give both teams pips though, personally its only happened like twice in all my time playing though

Ya its a bug type /dance itll fix it

Hey man i main ele for Gems N Tonics a pro league team and have a lot of experience give me a whisper in game and I’d be happy to help u out.

So I thought it would be interesting to see how far i could get on paladin d/d ele in season 2. Here are my results so far.

• 39 games
• 4 losses
• 2 of those losses were 4v5
• 3 pip into ruby so far
• A dragonhunter who somewhat knows what he is doing will destroy you since you lack sustain without cele amulet
• Revs should beat you but most people play them poorly

Has anyone else tried out some bases classes? How did you fare? Let me know in the comments below.

So i see them verbally abusing you and you returning the favor but i don’t see where they claim it was because you looked for feedback on a video and they saw it

to be fair not dodging the whole thing doesnt mean u die now or later as op said, i dislike it as well but it’s not gamebreaking.

I got to sapphire tier 3 playing d/d ele no tempest with paladins amulet since no cele anymore, i believe if u keep working at it you can get through sapphire at least since u just need to get lucky and win 3 in a row to secure a new tier and u cant lose tiers. Ruby is another story since there is no piplocking but if u get to ruby this season and ruby the two others its very much still doable for u. Keep at it goodluck

1. Nerf all elite specs, when HoT came out Anet said base classes would still be viable
2. Buff war sustain and damage
3. Fix the downed sliding bug
4. Buff thief sustain a lil bit gotta be careful if they get too much they will be op
5. Nerf Mes, great 1v1 portal moa, its a lil bit too much all in one

lol very funny bait, i’m looking forward to the next balance patch but will probably still be disappointed when it comes. so long as there is a mes nerf i can live with it.

Ya ive experienced it quite often as well

It’s not logical to think that teams which are playing together regularly are getting worse. Practice and stability makes people better not the other way around.

season one matchmaking would try to make the teams even no matter what, so really good players got dragged down by bad players and bads got carried by really good ones, season 2 all of ur teamates are ur mmr or as the game sees it skill level. The enemy team is not brought down or up to ur level. if ur stuck in ruby if we assume that mmr is equal to skill and the higher mmr team wins, that means a lil bit over 50% of people in ruby have higher mmr or skill level than u right now. Now i know mmr doesnt necessarily mean skill but thats how the game sees it.

Hey guys Im Zuko from Gems N Tonic (previously BTNA) and I just wanted to put a good word in for Anhomedog, he’s a solid ele and if u need one for ur team give him a shot.
Good Luck Ki

this quickly turned into an ele thing but the point im trying to make is hot stuff needs to be toned down or base stuff has to be buffed preferably hot stuff toned down

i disagree while d/d ele was overtuned the metas it existed in and helped create were some of the best imo, also it goes to show that the most overtuned build pre-hot is now crap tier

Feeling nostalgic about d/d ele, wishing it was viable, felt like whining.

I’ve seen situations where peopled are feared while in downstate and run but never that lol

just need the ones i posted i would have to redo

TPMN.1483:

The reason is simple you have to get other achievements apart from the professions – there was a deliberate time gate due to daily unlocks. You may be diamond right now but depending how quickly you hit legendary you may need to hit legendary again for th cross 4 divisions for the last achievement.

There is still plenty of time – just buy the item..do the next one and plough through.

nah i got all the cross divisions

TPMN.1483:

Emmm…one word:
NO

Now learn to research what is actually required for the stuff before – it was clear enough in game. Besides we can’t lose you as a PVP player – the numbers are thining out.

Good luck in your future games you have many more seasons to complete the rest of the achievements.

There is no risk of losing me as a pvp player, i’m going to play regardless cause i love the game. It would just really suck to have to redo everything.

I was unaware that I needed to buy the 4 essences and build them to unlock the Year of Ascension Achievements and as such have completed very few of them even though I have done all the work. I got to legendary in season 1 and am currently at diamond for season 2. The three classes I used thinking I was completing the class locked achievements were Ele, Rev, and Engi. Obviously as I got to legend last season and diamond this one, I would have completed all of the achievements but they are all uncompleted because of the aforementioned reason. Is it possible for you to unlock the achievements on my account since I have done the work and don’t have them due to a lack of information regarding the essences. I have since completed all the essence achievements. If this does not happen I will be required to win 105 ranked games I have already won, kill 390 more players I have already killed, earn 225 more top stats i have already earned, gain 240,000 more rank points I have already gained, as well as recomplete my profession specific achievements. Please help me out.

i like it great idea man

I have asked people, and begged people to carry me. I have looked for teams willing to pair up. No one is willing to risk a downward adjustment in mmr for any reason.

So, seeking a team is out. Since the game is coded for me to win only 33% of the time, and my mmr is now so low that I am in the game with people brand new to pvping, my experiencing pvping is beyond frustrating.

So I actually have a very similar perspective of Zuko, and happen to be a member of one of the teams in the top 10 NA currently, on my main account. I have taken advantage of sales on HoT, and have two extra accounts, of which are already ranked up once or twice, but aren’t high sapphire like my main. On my alt accounts I have found that my w/l ratio has stayed very similar (nearly undefeated), even queuing with clearly non-meta classes, such as kill-shot warrior and etc. Not to brag about personal skill, but my perception is that with a little bit of communication and queuing with some decent players, anyone can get out of terrible losing streaks.

In fact, I am considering starting a guild where we specifically recruit both losing streak players, and other decent pvpers who are willing to help. Let me know what you think! Feel free to pm, mail, or whisper me if anyone is interested.

that’s awesome of u man

probably because the legendary backpiece isn’t for everyone hence the word legendary.
I know I will never get a normal legendary because I can’t stand pvp.

Ridiculous. Anyone can get a legendary weapon.

Kinda odd you made this thread.

not anyone can only those who dedicate an insane amount of time to map completion and gathering resources and gold. I can’t do that, my personality wont let me. Anyone with enough practice can get good or at least average at pvp if you really wanna argue it that way. Both ways require work that not everyone willing to do.

If you do not PvE then why do you need a legendary and that too a backpiece? You completely lost me there. I mean how does it benefit you in anyway in PvP?

Did you make this thread to discuss your personality traits under the sham of commiserating with vast majority of playerbase who are sick of playing ranked – afraid even? Dude you lost total credibility to me. Hope your team loses and you don’t qualify.

Obviously I want the legendary because of the skin which you would have known if you read my earlier post instead of jumping straight to attacking me. I like shiny stuff. It’s that simple.

I agree with you ron, but the system as it stands isn’t letting all people who put time and effort in to make sapphire. I don’t think everyone should hit legend, but i also don’t think people should be on 20 game loss streaks.

I’m just concerned about player population declining due to excessive loss streaks. I still believe that in a competitive game mode there should be some rewards for being better.

Probably because in PvP you need legendary backpiece as you glide down from the ledges in temple? Also, stat switching in PvP matter on backpiece. Hence, it’s obtainable only in PvP.

What did you eat between your first post and this one? Or did you sell your brains on ebay in between?

The actual stat difference is minuscule don’t pretend you need those stats for pve. It’s mainly a cosmetic thing which believe it or not matters in any game mode. I want fair matches where people can actually win that doesnt mean I think the backpack should be handed out to everyone.

ronpierce.2760:

The reason I ask this is, if the above are both true, first off, people need to get out of the mindset that “Ranked” is for everyone. Everyone is welcome to apply, but not everyone will be effective in a highly competitive arena. That’s FINE. There is no reason to hand-hold people in Ranked, that’s what Unranked even exists for. People who want 100% fair matches, remember unranked exists. It may suck to hear, but Ranked simply isn’t a reward track and isn’t intended to be. It is a competition, and as such, it wouldn’t be a competition if everyone won or if it was divided up into baby, medium and high tier (which is effectively what averaging MMR does), because it becomes unfair for the higher tier players who have to fight only higher tier players while lower tier players rise in ranks by fighting other bad players.

I don’t want to come off as rude, but I think people are really watering down what the point of having an “Unranked” and a “Ranked” even is. By no means should anyone feel like they are entitled to do well in Ranked, nor should all apply. If you wish to try to get a few ranks out of it for some rewards, by all means, but I don’t think anyone should EXPECT anything from competition.

I see ur point but in my opinion ranked isnt really a true high level competition. If you want actual competition there are tournament such as Academy Gaming and ESL. Ranked is just slightly more difficult unranked. Also throughout the history of ranked before leagues there was no real difference between it and unranked.

probably because the legendary backpiece isn’t for everyone hence the word legendary.
I know I will never get a normal legendary because I can’t stand pve.

mmr is separate for unranked and ranked
unranked still does balance teams evenly

Has anyone else been having a very easy time this season? Im at tier 5 of emerald, and I’ve only lost 2 games so far. Lot’s of them have been blow outs. I won like 500 to 5 with an all solo team. I guess if the goal is to make skilled players progress faster it is working, but I’d also like to face some challenging opponents. I guess it will get better as I get in higher divisions since more skilled people will be there. At least this season will probably indicate skill more. Just wondering what u guys thought.
