Guild Wars 2

Romek.4201:

my idea is better
- show on map all enemyzergs bigger than 25 with a comander symbol+Swords in enemy colour

would so fix all problems^^

It’s a start, but what would this solve? People will still do it because they outnumber the others servers.
Right now it makes more sense to leave any keep or tower when a large zerg comes along because what options to 10 people have against 30+.

ascended armor? What do we need that for then?

That was a funny battle between the BT zerg and our fow people. BT zerged aldons tower and tried to take the fow keep. We are heavily outnumbered and managed to hold them with just a few people and our smart commander took the opportunity to take sm from them while they tried to kill our 10 to 15 players with their 50+ zerg and atleast 6 ac’s from aldon.

Dolan.3071:

Hammer on Warrior is terrible in PvE and anyone wielding one will receive a well deserved kick.
Also stop Greatsword auto attacking you scrub, either GS/Axe+Mace rotation or don’t take Greatsword at all…

Do you want to go against some of my servers hammer warriors? They would kick you all over the map and back again.

Oh yeah concepts would be a nice teaser….

I dont know, the blue glow for weapons has my interest. I’m a guy that likes blue lights.. sooo…. pretty…..

The change to maul is pretty good, if they add the fact that stun adds 50% more damage to after hilt bash it would be better. My pet always misses unless it’s a zerg.

I wonder how this is going to work out:
“Sic ’Em”: This shout now applies 4 seconds of “Revealed” on the targeted enemy.
Because how can you target what you do not see?

Sucks that fow misses the numbers of players for going against the everlasting zerg of bt. Sometimes even ros zergs just a long with them to hit on poor old us :/
We seem to be an easy target for both of them right now.

Stealth is still ok for thiefs, as long as its for recovering from the fight or breaking. Give them a debuff cannot attack after 30 or so seconds after going in stealth. Fine for getting away.

aspirine.6852:

No not really, the problem with thiefs is not when you have seen them. The problem is that thery are so weak now, that they(atleast on my wvw servers) prey on those who just fought and have the skills on cooldown and low health. You cannot get any lamer than that.

I completely Disagree.

If thieves were so weak, why the Outrage against them?

A weak class wouldn’t Never get the Center attention.

Even their class wouldn’t be mentioned.

(what class since gw2 release been troubling and causing tremendous Irronies?)

You already know that answer.

Thief, of course!

So there….

As the saying goes, “The Abuser always plays the victim card”>> Thief

Well I say weak because they now rely on a single thing to stop them getting killed Stealth. And stealth is the worst thing imo that happend to pvp/wvw. They need it because when you would see them coming a ranger could have them at half their health before they get to you. Even though they have great mobility.
I really cant stand those thiefs because of that stupid stealth, I cant say that I ever enjoyed a fight between me and a thief. While I have enjoyed fighting many other professions.

Stop my pet from being totally F&K&*&g useless, give them some better ai or me more control. Give sb a burst skill, and that weird jumping with sword could do with a change.

Wilson, could you do me a favour, post a screenie of your in game stats when you are about to do combat?
I’m not doing wvw with my warrior yet and trying to get her another set that is not pve gear(aka zerker).
Thanks in advance.

Solution, stealth as an escape method fine, give them a debuff that makes them not able to attack 30 or what ever seconds after they did their stealth.
They are pretty weak right now, thiefs I play against have to do cheap tactics like backstabbing players who just battled with others so they are on low health or skills cooldown. Annoying and not a fun thing in my book.

Professor Sensei.2941:

do the players have to openly say they don’t want something before Anet actually listens to them? The players said again and again that they didn’t want Bloodlust and now you can see the result of that being released on the forums. Now it’s Leagues? Come on…

The only thing you will hear from players that could e easily improved be Anet is the loot. The loot in wvw is beyond terrible, is just plain stupid. Half an hour in the frostgorge train is more loot and gold than a whole evening of wvw.

Pavel.5192:

RAM HIM, made my day

Hahahaah yes, that guy was not letting him get away.,

I’m pretty sure Anet knows that carying that tag is a sure thing to get targeted.

I would hunt them to the end of the map if I knew one of them was in there.

If this is the best they can come up with it’s time to move on. You guys really think this will be done in a few weeks time? There are not enough people on most servers to complete it, it’s only being completed now because it’s new.
Look at some of the servers now, most people are just on afk because of that kitten daily.

Dont care about any servers. My guild do it solo.

Doubt it. But that’s hardly solo is it.

Well I do not agree, but lets not make this another thief is lame topic.

The emptiness in wvw is terrible on fow, outnumbered all day, ok our opponent bt has large zergs 24/7 and I imagine their pve server is also empty or with afk people at tequatl.

After tequatl I dont think I can stand another idiotic dragon fight.

Rococo.8347:

At least you can actually get into Deso – god knows how – ive been trying to get in to my home server ( Deso) for 3 days – I cant even get in at 4am waiting over an hour in the overflow – this is ridiculous.

blame anet, on my home server there are perhaps 30 people when he lands. Not even 99.9% of his health is gone.
Nice testing, again from the quality(pffffff) team.

esports lol, zerg wars is not very interesting to watch.

No not really, the problem with thiefs is not when you have seen them. The problem is that thery are so weak now, that they(atleast on my wvw servers) prey on those who just fought and have the skills on cooldown and low health. You cannot get any lamer than that.

Meglobob.8620:

Well we should be able to vendor them…if nothing else…

Personally, I don’t see why they don’t make them tradeable on the TP. What’s the problem/big deal?

Bank space and gem store.

LameFox.6349:

aspirine.6852:

They do not worry me, they annoy me with their cheap tactics. And I overestimate by calling it tactics. From my wvw last evening where I was fighting left and right and after the fight was over you get attacked from behind by some lame kitten thief when everything is on cooldown and health is low. There is no protection from such annoying people.

You’re aware of the difference between tactics and your personal sense of propriety, yes? Because attacking an enemy when it’s weak is pretty tactically sound.

It is, but it’s not something I enjoy or want to see when playing a game. I do this for fun, and thiefs imo are no fun at all. They are the first part of your name.

Ah great the bt zerg train 24/7. Just what I’ve been waiting for :/

What am I looking for there?

Aberrant.6749:

@ OP… because fair weather players + Teq. True WvW-ers don’t care about the PPT as long as there are good fights to be had. Teq may well be taking the hybrid PvE/WvW players out of WvW as well.

Marsares.2053:

The one class that seems to enjoy it are thieves… it’s just a paradise for them at the moment and I’ve never seen so many of them coming out of the woodwork.

Oh noes has perma stealth thieves been fixed ??

I wish…………..

In this meta thieves are pretty kitten weak right now. I see less and less of them every week. Usually it’s just to scout/gank yaks/contest keeps/etc. then run away if anything looks at them funny.

Even in the new areas they are hardly the best to have in a fight. I also wish they would nerf perma-stealth… and changed thief from being so reliant on stealth overall. They need buffs in those areas so they can remain in the fight and not just stealth away or die… or die from conditions while trying to stealth away (which is what normally happens). They also seriously lack in group play… thieves are the least of my worries in WvW.

It would be great to introduce a new class to gw2, the wizard
With a nice story attached oc.

KorKor.9452:

I like the new Teq stuff and it is really fun. Sure you won’t down him every time but it really brought our server together. If anything I just wonder how it will work in the long run when less people or just less organized start to do him as others get what they want. Seems like that could be a real issue with a world event like this and multiple dragons and such getting a rework.

Also kinda feel for those low population servers and night time players as well.

Server together? i see a lot of get-of-my-server you guests on desolation :/

Not just tequatl that isnt fun anymore, even the simple fire elemental and golem need to have stupid amounts of aoe red circles.
Anet increasing difficulty, lets increase the circle of death rate. Yeah.

I dont care about those, it’s the stupid stealth mechanic that ruins it for me.

Oh yeah they do fit, when I just started gw1 and was always a bit carefull for their ingnite arrows skill.

ImProVocateur.5189:

Alright. Give me time to make a video. Power groups do not grow on trees. I apologize to all the sylvaris.

Np man, take your time. I like ele’s the most in vids because they are not raw power, but great to do and to look at.

Pewintodo.4138:

The devs have said on many occasions that wvw is not intended to be fair. Is it intended to be quite so unfair though? It’s bad enough being on a low pop server, regularly outnumbered 3-1 but the new buff just punishes us even further. If the intent was to force zerg’s to split up between more points then nice try but reward them with decent loot rather than bonus stats. Kudos for trying something new with wvw but shame about the epic fail. I may dust off the old X360 and take a break while wvw <> fun.

Cmdr Panda Chef (Vabbi)

I’m your opponent from FoW, I feel quite guilty on taking on vabbi now. We outnumber you guys by so much I often just ask if we can focus on wsr instead. I feelkinda sorry for low population servers like vabbi, and a decline of people playing on vabbi affects me just as much as you

ImProVocateur.5189:

I am the one that gave a review several thought was disappointing, even trolling. It is not trolling to give an honest critique when it is asked for. Really, every ele player out there should thank those who did not like my review. Here are your responses summed: “The OP did just he should have because any ele that tries to do anything other that clean up the downed will fail and be a liability to the team.” Thank you for proving my point.

I like to play dangerous. Most PvP games I run solo for the thrill of dominating. I get burnt down a lot because I do not have the support most rpg are made for. Sure, I zerg to get the cheezy wins for lootz. I have 7 characters to feed (four 80s). The only five-mans I run are in fotm. In WvW I run up on small group fighting where allies are outnumbered. That happens often enough that I have learned what a d/d ele needs to do to bolster in a small foray.

The #1 thing to play well as an ele is to be ALWAYS contributing. That means always active. That is why confusion and torment are destroying eles right now. ANet finally attacked the core of the ele. Hate me for stating the truth. Fine. Or .. you could learn.

Show us a vid of you playing? I was one of the few who expected you to be trolling. But please show me wrong because I really like the way the OP is playing the game, but you said it can be done better of not better but more effiecient?

You spent good money on they game you say? Well so did I and my server for pve is almost dead. So I guest on desolation for pve, I could transfer but paying more to play the game I already payed for. I do not think so.

Very nice vid, I can’t believe that guy “commenting” on it. I sure hope he or she is trolling.
Roaming vids are nice, but on some servers roamers almost do not exist, small team like yours against a bigger one is more common imo.

I think you can blame living story and the easy champ rewards for the emptiness in wvw. I still cannot believe how bad the rewards are in wvw. In gw1 the pvp zaishen keys were always worth a lot and made pvp regulars very wealthy players.

BECAUSE THEY WANT TO SELL FINISHERS!!!

YOU CAN GET THEM FOR FREE IN PVP !!!

If only pvp was any good in this game.

GenoUnknown.7504:

Tarnished Coast has joined the ranks! Congratulations everyone!

Is it me or does that look like a zerg fest after all?

The only stat bonus I can live with is when a server is outnumbered. Give them the statbonus, they need it more.

Morrigan.2809:

At this point the only reason why they don’t change it imo is the amount of QQ from people who had to suffer through it in the past- and it is suffering, I can’t think of a single instance where someone said wow that was fun.

No, the whining would be coming from the WvWvWers desperate to have easy targets. Forcing PvE players into PvP gives a steady stream of fodder for the WvWvWers.

That seems to be the idea.

“Suck it up”, “touch luck dude” or “get better n00b” seems to be what I hear from the wvwers while the majority of pvers who don’t like wvw completion would just be happy to see it gone. I wouldn’t care if after I finished it if WvW completion was removed. It’d be a “Well.. kitten me..” moment but it’d make it easier for any alts I might have.

I’ve stood absolutely still in wvw, not fought back, and still gotten gang destroyed by people out for an easy kill. I’ve gone in armorless and weaponless. Still the same result. That isn’t fun. At all. Especially when you’re 2 steps from a vista, skill point or POI and you just want to get what’s held by your server and GTFO so others who actually wanna play can get in.

Also – why is it needed for PvE world completion? Maybe I can grasp why for a Legendary (though it honestly still stinks – I can understand why you need PvE for WvW – WvW is like a mini-game but the other way around?) but why is a PvP area needed to even get the title? WvW has nada to do with PvE.

I dont know who you have been talking too, on my server there is almost no talk like that. And pve people come to join are welcomed and given advice on my home server.(FoW). Almost all of them agree on leaving the pve people out of wvw if they do not want to do it, easy targets are not considered fun. My first time in wvw I have a high ranking vabbi on their bl letting me pass without attacking because he probrably saw my rank and thought too easy.. He even waved at me to let me know he did see me.

Mbelch, what server do you play on?

Roamers paradise you say? With the constant buff on our server it would turn into something else for you :/

I like the new areas, much better than the lake. But the buffs, no thanks. Give them to the outnumbered ones struggling against our higher populated one.

Well it killed our server I think? We outnumber our oponents by far and they do not even stand a chance now :/

And you just gotta love Swoop.
