there are 2 types of pvpers.

1.) Those who want to pwn noobs and farm their title.
2.) Those who want to pwn better players and give them the middle finger.

Game mode doesn’t matter.

So this paid tournament is for the #2 type of players.

Guild Wars 1 is old now. Why infuse old mechanics in a new game? it’s like mixing rotting bad apples to freshly picked apples.

my character is level 80 and when i get downscaled by doing the Caudeceus Manor Story my total armor goes up to 900ish. I have transmuted armor and Lieutenant Mobs and Sniper mobs 1 shots or 2 shots me and im dead. i think that my armor is not giving the right stats when it is downscaled.

Carrion is the best choice for pve condi rangers. In wvw carrion too coz you don’t want to be 1 shotted by a treb or 3 shoTted by a zerg. Just be mobile or position yourself properly so you will apply the bleeds. Even at 14% crit chance a crit can still pop out.

i was a staunch believer in 5v5 randoms but i changed my mind. 8v8 has the buffer to take care of leavers. and it is supposed to be the perfect place to rank/glory/(non tourney) title farm. also it is the perfect way to just jump in and pwn some people without that much expectations from your team mates.

why compare AB to Conquest? Don’t you even know that the profession mechanics also changed?

yes, your 3 2 1 spike build doesn’t work. it’s not your old boring deathmatch where you can kill the guild lord and /resign. i’m not forced to grouping myself to 8 people anymore. small scale fights count a lot. you need to be skilled 1 vs 1. in Guild Wars 1, 1vs1 is non existent.

they could do the variety of pvp arenas seasonally. like the nba, they have a single mode of play during the season, and when the all stars comes, there is the dunking competition, three point competition, etc. all stars comes only once a year so that could be something to imitate.

"Let the meta develop first"

in PvP

Posted by: alcopaul.2156

alcopaul.2156

The tourney system provides you an estimate that the team you’ll be facing in the last round is as skilled as you since they also beat 2 teams just like you. But if you indeed want to face skilled teams, wait for community or guild sponsored tourneys in customized tourney srrvers/private servers where the best of the best will surely be invited. And I believe that this is arriving to follow.

What I had envisioned

in PvP

Posted by: alcopaul.2156

alcopaul.2156

The game allowed variety of builds to be made. So finding the most effcienyt and the most easy to play builds are the goal. Why would I punish myself playing a hard class to play. I play to relax and win some. If you want player skill or if anet eanted a pvp game purely based on player skill, they shouldve made 5 premade classes and the mathces are mirror mtaches of the premade classes.

My criticisms

in PvP

Posted by: alcopaul.2156

alcopaul.2156

The tourney system is the matchmaking itself. The team that you’ll be facing in the last round did the same thing that you did – beat 2 teams. So you beat two teams and the other team beat two teams and it is an estimate that you have the same skill level. However if the other team roflstompped you, that means they are just better than you. But if you got to the last round without voice chat and the other team stomped you, it is most likely that the other team has voicechat.

State of SPvP

in PvP

Posted by: alcopaul.2156

alcopaul.2156

Skill, amulet, weapon or probably armor swapping adds more to the strategy. And if you lock your build and items when you enter a tourney, that means your limiting yourself to the thingsd that uyour setup can only do for you. Remember you won’t zone in an outpost after a win and its best of 3 rounds. Also you face different teams throughout the round. Confining yourself in a set setup will be rock papers scissors because its mostlikely that the other team has a build advantage over you.

"Let the meta develop first"

in PvP

Posted by: alcopaul.2156

alcopaul.2156

You didn’t get the point either. Even there’s a matchmaking existing if the player pool is gonna be the same then you changed nothing. This is a new game and most of the players are still getting used to it or just trying stuffs or maybe they take time to mature. There are fast learners and slow learners. Add to the pool the talented ones which most likely is the guild that you faced. Development of the meta takes time and it warrants that all efficient possible builds are fielded and are tried and tested. Now, only ther flavors are being played and there are still lots of build combinations that are not yet made.

"Let the meta develop first"

in PvP

Posted by: alcopaul.2156

alcopaul.2156

If you’re winning against all other teams and suddenly gets stomped by a guild team, that means you faced noob teams, which is mostlikely in a game that is lkess than one month old. It takes half a year to develop a metagame. And this meta may be a polymorphic metagame if balancers don’t exercise firmness and easily give in to whines etc. You winning against noob teams and getting stomped by a guild team is not related to metagame really but an indication of the discrepancy of skill level.

alcopaul.2156

What imbalanced gear and add ons are you talking about? Everything is available to the player so there won’t any be gear advantages. The game is based on building and what I’m talking about is the nerfing of unconventional builds because of the high regard of the balanced build.

What I had envisioned

in PvP

Posted by: alcopaul.2156

alcopaul.2156

If balancers will have the same mindset as GW1, then kitten this game will just have one generic balanced build that will perpetually played. Team or character builds that will overpower this balanced template will be nerfed to uselessness and well see mirror matches of balanced builds once again. Which sucks. But I expect this to happen because as they say they expect this to be an esport. So yeah, same old kitten again.

Balance or Flavor of the Month?

in PvP

Posted by: alcopaul.2156

alcopaul.2156

How do you even define a balanced build in this game mode. The aim is to capture 3 points and wait the scoreboard to tick to 500. So the optimal team build is the most effiecient build that can do so. You can call it Fotm but one thing is sure imposing your gw1 balanced build that works in a full team death match or npc kill is not the same as the conquest aims. The team build that you might have may require duplicate or pentacate characters, but as long as the roles of them satisfy the goal of conquest, then this build will be the one that will be used. I hated anets delusional regard for this balanced build concept in gw1 and nerfing all other builds so this balanced build can be played perpetually. And good thing that this conquest gamemode in gw2 disregards this high regard for the balanced build.

Place your PvP rank in SPvP Forum

in PvP

Posted by: alcopaul.2156

alcopaul.2156

Rank is just an indication that you’re playing PvP. It tells you your experience but it is not an indicator that YOU’VE TEAMED UP WITH COMPETENT PEOPLE. But rank is not bad at all. It’s like the PVP version of LEVEL.

And for me, I admire builders and theorycrafter more than players. There are superb builders who are average on playing and there are just players who play a build handed to them and do it superbly. Sure there are also people who are skilled in both realms.

Anyway, I’m rank 17 and I will farm more in 8?8 hotjoin. Bystating this, I would expect that you would ignore what I said. I don’t give a kitten anyway.
