Guild Wars 2

I like how both Psy guilds jumped on the first post, ignoring the second one.

When will people learn that balance in this game is done randomly and most changes will be just cosmetic.

In the stream the two “balancing devs” did not know one single skills name properly or find trait allocations in reasonable time.
Changes were commented with things like “we thought this mitght be cool” and “we think this is pretty awesome”. No single comment on how a change would affect gamebalancing, PvP interactions and buildcounterin e.g.
Because things are not tested by players but by “theoretical physicists”. They might know the code but not the game itself. Nor the impact their changes have on the game.
Look at WvW laggfest. Atm you will be confused and interrupted to death, joined by a newly integrated perma-immobilize resulting from everybody spamming skills that now add in duration.
Noone here is a PvPer and GW2 WvW/tPvP is just some PvE players go for for a PvP-ish gamemode.

He sums it up properly:

Reevz.2617:

it feels like things are being balanced by a few devs that play the game casually and only think about what they think is cool.

They really seem to want us to leave the game.
My motivation is low right now, reading about all the bugs, imbalances and the incompetence.
Sadly Camelot Unchained still has a long way to go.

Calliope.8675:

Quit whining. I was excited about Perplex runes because they made confusion viable for mesmer. Now my traits are screwed up so I may as well go back to zerk shatter build.

You mean viable for bad mesmers.

King Amadaeus.8619:

I lol’d, they are “working on it” did you really expect something already???

I honestly dont expect one single step in the right direction anymore.

No changes… wow ANet…

feras, joueras and choisiras are not imperative but indicatif future. Therefore it is an annoucement of what will be done.

If you can play at night, you will do it.
For victory you will play the score.
As equippment you will choose PVT.

Its a shout out for committment. Nothing bad about it.
Nice try to derail it with obviously not so good french skills.

I hope they do, as this will lead to a great exodus of PvDers bc they will move up to gold league.
They deserve gold league more than anybody else.

I dont refuse explicit offers for a duel. Your interpretations are of no interest to me.
Only time I did refuse, was due to the kitteny attitude of the person asking for it.

No, he does not.
As all of us, he tested it and as almost all of us he found it ridiculously broken and dropped it.

Well I remember refusing to get bored to death by stunlock regensignet warriors.
Who could blame me.

LOL!
Link it…
Nice stalking skills though. You must be really missing me.

As I said, I ran these runes yesterday and they might do many things but none of them is promoting skilled play.
If you need them, the l2p issue might be yours.

He is reporting my posts too. I guess I wont get him to 1v1.

Great website. Good luck in our common league. You deserve it more than SFR.

I dont even play the build you accuse me to play, what clearly shows how clueless you are about thief. Just another BV CnD BS scrub. SR usually is banned from thief vs thief because the duels will get resetted over and over again.
But how would you know that when all you do is run away and lurk around guildgroups to eat their leftovers.

Obviously you/he have a point and I could not agree more with it.
But also this is not about honour or something, this is a casual PvP-ish zergmode. It is not fun for casuals to get farmed by paintrains even if the casuals outnumber 2vs1.
If they know they cannot openfieldly beat a GvG superherogang, why should they bother?

The casual Zergling world is about WxP, Karma, Bags of Loot, Sieges with 100 friends and above everything doing this with the least effort.
I don’t like it, but I respect it.
There are other things I dont like. I learned to respect them too.

People should just try to get the best out of this. Leave the Vizu primetimezergs alone if you cant stand them running into towers.
For what I have seen massive openfield battles happened on Viz border on Saturday night. And I am sure it will happen again.

I just cba to read the blatant “we roam 20-35 ‘smallscale-guildgroup’ and only meet 80+ blobs, where is ypur pride?” To me those groups are clueless zerglings as much as the 80+ blobs are. But I made my peace with it and just want everybody to enjoy this game the best way he can.
This is called tolerance.

Did you read Sun Tzu?
Why should 50 pugs that know they would die in your coordinated meleetrain in few seconds come play outside?
That would be tupid.

Also I wrote venting, not whining and wasn’t reffering to you in particular.

Had 7 sparring partners yesterday and none of the earlier was involved besides one perplexity engi.
Wasn’t too gamebreaking though.

A pretty good engineer told me yesterday: “Perplexity made me get sloppy.”
I guess this is true for everybody who uses them and is a great weakness.

PU Phants or Signet Warriors will get /laugh after 2 minutes of duelling. If they die I will stomp them. Who relies on completely passive AI/Regen/Boons sould not expect me to count it as a duel.
Duels imply that both actually could die.

We were having nice roaming and duelling chit chat here. Please vent your sadness about a server bringing his players to WvW somewhere else.
Not everybody is an openfielder and this is a casual game. If you only find 80+ groups, you are looking at the wrong spots.
If you expect to attack a crucial structure like hills or bay and Vizunah will only bring even numbers, then you should know that this will not work. Everybody wants to participate in WvW and Vizunahs everybody is just severly bigger than our everybody.
Blame ANet, not Vizunah. Or just learn to adapt. Vizunah is a great opponent if you dont try to get their ppt.

Nice week so far Vizu! Glad to see you have more and more roamers every matchup we meet. Keep it going!

I feel the same way as you do.

E.g. they are fine with P/D on thief as you have to time your traited daze on steal or your venom to interrupt. (CDs are 45 and 20 seconds.)
On P/P | D/P | S/P on the other thand…

I want to take this back.
I tested it for P/D yesterday. Alone the passive trigger dealt around 600 per action. With an interrupt on steal on 20s ICD i was able to mantain 8 stacks for most of the time, ticking for ~1800 per action.
This is plain wrong and just adding an ICD is not enogh.

Passive triggers of a condition that applie >600dps on skill use is wrong already but 5 on interrupt is overkill.

I tested it duelling without permastun (no X/P) yesterday for around 30 min (maybe 31). An ICD on the 6th bonus will not be a nerf but a little toning down.
The effect of constant 8 stacks was devastating with my P/D build. With the torment, the interrupt on steal and confusion the 10 bleedstacks just felt like a bonus.

Lol, you are delusional. I was at 30% or even lower and surrounded by at least 3 mates of you and your avancing zerg at your spwan when you did your one trick pony show. Not only are you a terrible thief that only attacks uplevelled and people under 50% but you also make things up like a champ.
And we dont fight 1v1 as you run away from me as soon as you notice that you cant surprise me while I am infight.
Coward GC-troll.

Lets make it a 3 out of 5 next time we are matched up. No shadow refuge, no D/P trolling. Just our both roaming builds and for once you dont run away instantly.
I will happily teach you how to thief and might not stomp you so you dont have to walk all the way.

I tested them for 30 minutes yesterday and apologized to my opponents and swapped them out again. I felt pretty bad about using them, even if it was without pistol offhand and with only one interrupt on a 20s CD.
This rune is jut so wrong.
But yes, there are bukas that use them. No warriors and no engis though. I think one mesmer uses them for soloroaming at times.

BTW: There are two different [Psy] guilds out there on GH.

Ty you [DIRE] for the very nice duels at the Vizunah mill! I enjoyed it very much and had a blast!

Sorry TDS thief for stomping, but when u attacked me without warning with P/D and used D/P for chainstealthing and refuge for resetting three times I just couldnt help it.

:-)

Thursday 20:00 Berlin time.
Duels at the Vizunah Mill.
Lets get some nice fights before we get split in leagues.

I might show up with my mesmer, have a few builds I want to try.

Good call, as I cba to get into endless trollfights with d/p stackers ;-).

His point, that the guy leading a blobzerg GvG (20vs20) should not be a staff ele is valid though.

Last night I killed a group of 4 with my thief.

They were 4 thieves. This is madness, nerf thief!

Watch out boys. Sniper Elite Squad is a new elite epic swog roaming guild. We roam in the shadows and pounce on the unfortunate with our rifles of justice.

OMFG :-D

I am pretty sure Fab does not hit a thing though :-P.

Kodasch, GH/Gandi, AG would have been a deserved MU for us all to get before the league madness starts.

Sadly you guys lost the lottery again. Hope to see you in 8 weeks when we swap places with other, undeserved silverleaguists. We could not manage to beat the matchup luck and even got more points while losing.

Take care AG <3.

Dont worry, I am a troll myself and know how these forums work.
The ingame reception of GH is great and I could not have a better time to spend before the leagues start.

<3 GH <3

The GH forum attitude differs from when I was on Dzagonur.

Shout out to the guilds that try and actually manage to get the best out of this.

Shame on you Vizu, you really should tell 70% of your players to go PvE because ANet is not able of matching servers according to their WvW population. ;-)

Thanks to the MM guys and girls that invited me to a little 1v1 session yesterday on our BL. Great/unique builds and neat gameplay!

Btw where is <3Troma<3?

I dont like people with legendaries.

→ No.

Without 30 in SA in WvW you will be food for P/D thieves. Very much.

You mean when I was fighting 3 people and you added me at 30% with basivenom? True hero.

Or when I killed you alone and you alt+f4’ed?

So, noone showed up. First I thought there were ppl but it turned to be 3 GH that were 3vs1ing a guildie who was waiting there too.

Sad nobody came. But I guess WXP and Karma are boss :-/.

Zumy.6318:

Duels Viz Border at the mill anyone? All welcome.

Ok, now Kodash has QQ after I DC’ed :-(

Duels Viz Border at the mill anyone? All welcome.

Wait for the week. Viz really is fun to fight and has good roamers.
The KIWI guys for example are awesome.
We all know your coverage is worse than Viz and Kodasch. Try to make the best out of it.

Today sunday, 20:00 Berlin time at the Viz BL Mill.
Join for some fun duels.

I am drunk and I will roam nao!
I drop precursers!

Dont worry I am totally not working on on Frenzy and Kamohoali’i Kotaki simultaneously :-P.

No, srsly. Glad to meet u guys and my friend Moonaxante one last time. Cant wait to roam tomorrow.

Duels on sunday night, Viz border? Drinks on me!

Are some of you at least happy to be matched up w/ me? :-(

I Love u GH <3. Glad to have you b4 we get zerged in Gold League.

BTW: Viz has more roamers than you’d think and is enjoyable to smallscale with offpeak. Give them a chance, they give good fights and are friendly in the forms.

Alt+F4 more bro. Champion Shadow that runs away from every challenging fight.

Thank you TUP, Fire, MD and BSF for the nice duels during this matchup.
Also the roaming experience vs AG was sometimes very good and at other times well, I guess every server has those quilds :-).

Big shoutout to Lupi and Aegon do Urden.
Alway very good thrill to fight you two.
Hope to see you guys again soon and wish everybody good luck in the next matchups.

Cheers!

(to the scared VV thief who shines through killing uplevelled and and adding into fights when he sees lowlife targets: Man up bro and stop running every time someone gets the first hit on you. Thieves are not made to follow zergs and eat up the leftovers.)

I feel the same way as you do.

E.g. they are fine with P/D on thief as you have to time your traited daze on steal or your venom to interrupt. (CDs are 45 and 20 seconds.)
On P/P | D/P | S/P on the other thand…

Sry Sabull, Zergash will be in Goldleague and will devolve back into “Outmanned during primetime”-dash

Any warrior that feels the need for a buff right now, has serious l2p issues.

Thats more because in every RvR based MMO, people in NA tend to be feeders ;-).

Also winning server =/= T1 and T1 =/= better at anything besides coverage.

We are a blobb guild, we only can play for Karmatrain. Karmatrain gives ppt :-/.
