Guild Wars 2

i’m pretty sure there was no mesmer around

it was 1v1 against ele, he overloaded air and i tried to heal

couldn’t get it off

he was d/f, no staff

Hello

I have a question about air overload
I don’t see it on the tool tip and my ele friends have no idea neither

i get dazed mutiple times during that overload
anybody know what’s going on?

I’m not attacking them when they have shocking aura
I was just trying to heal and I get dazed about 4-5 times

anyone has any ideas?

i just wanted to share this
no name dropping

Man you are not the only. I had a person who deliberatly tanked the game. Came in without any armor or weps and was running around… We lost 2 pips.

If only we can report them for this kitten

Report them and ask everyone in the game to do so, too. It might not help, but there is a chance.

it doesn’t
I’ve reported similar trolls and posted on forum with pictures as proofs in the past
guess what?

post got taken DOWN for name shamming

that’s it, i’m out
done
I either que into Nos/pz 5 man premade or I do not find a game

didn’t they used to move you DOWN a mmr bracket or something if you don’t find
a match in 5 minutes or something?

what happened to that? I don’t think diamond is that high
many have hit diamond by now

still counting

Edit: new update

can I at least go do some jumping puzzles while I wait?

Ragnarox.9601:

When you play a thief other 4 ppl have to be on 125% of their capabilities to carry you through a game.

Don’t be a kitten and rerol to useful class.

I don’t always play thief
that was just 1 particular game
here’s another picture

honestly it doesn’t matter what I play lol

I have so many screen shots of theses games
i lost count which one i’ve uploaded already
but here’s another one

@vapour

I did T^T

tears T^T

is there away for me to show you guys all the screen shots lol?

i have 20+ pictures of proleague premades farming pugs

i’ve tried asking nicely

i’ve tried raging berserker mode

but so far nothing’s been done about this

premade vs solo is just painful

come on devs, help your players out

Ara.4569:

They don’t have enough players. That’s why they can’t split solo queue and team queue, which alienates solo players, shrinking the PvP population even more.

The balance, matchmaker, pip system, HotM being a prison, doesn’t help much either.

A lot needs to be done, especially to fight power creep, and they are not willing to do anything for the next 2 months. I don’t expect much from that future balance patch either.

Time to find a game, something you can enjoy, not a hate-inducing software causing pain and suffering.

that is not true
if they seperate Team and soloq, what will happen is
most team q players will shift to solo q
and some of these diamond farmers will actually have to face other diamond farmers
instead of having 4 of them on the same team

and sunfish will not have his 1 hour long que
rip team ques but it’s not like the pro teams don’t already do scrims and in houses already

trytonianYeti.4389:

What they do is similar to school bullying.

yep

and anet rewards this kind of behavior
and solo players are punished

this is my last one
i am done

u think the devs can’t find out lol?

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

@Bubi
nuuuu them nice people!

@Leohart
yeah!

they did you a favor…you kind put them out to dry by making this post lol

way to pay them back

it’s ok, zoose can just fill in when one of those guys go to sleep
I’m sure they have jobs and schools to worry about

oh wait…

Highlie.7641:

If you are solo queing (judging from your rank you are not) Ruby is all your going to get to anyway.

remember: win one game get a pip, lose a game (with the same point total) lose 2 pips.

lol how am I not solo queing?

have you seen the screen shots

@crinn

because I hit ruby and I get paired up against tougher opponents
you can gauge how high a person’s mmr is by his or her opponents

for example, if you consistently get paired up against say…(key word consistently)
oh…i don’t know, guys like these guys

you can bet that person’s got top mmr

@Sarrs
well it’s like this, I’m running into abj in soloqs, if I team up with people with decent mmr
then i’m sure to get them everytime

there’s a reason why these guys are in the PRO league,
they dedicate so much time and effort into their game plays, us normal/casual players can’t hope to match
if it were easy to put together 5 guys who can beat them, then they wouldn’t be so popular

right now most of the top NA players are working TOGETHER to farm pugs
abj, pz, spvp, you name it
they purposely group with 1 low mmr players or use alt accounts to low their over all mmr just so they’d get easier ques
and they play at least 10 a hours a day

they very well could just duo or solo q but they choose not to
i’m one of the few players who solo q (mostly) their way into ruby, and now I hit a wall

I understand not everybody should be able to hit diamond
it is competitive after all but
losing to them in this way is just vexing

my solution is much simpler

seperate team and solo q

got more where that came from

this game lol

anet lol

seperate them ques please

welp…i dont know what to say

Crinn.7864:

darres.8203:

i’m facing better players, get worse players on my team

I’d love to know where you are drawing the conclusion that ranking up means worse pugs. That’s not how the divisions work.

basicly what reaper said
and I still get emeral teammates, but now I face other ruby opponents
.
.
.
and still buttload of premades…

sapphire was hard enough

now i’m facing better players, get worse players on my team and it becomes even
harder to rank up?

doesn’t quite make sense, does it?

Mefiq.7039:

The worse you are the faster you climb… I got now top 100 mmr and its SO F HARD to win game, basically i have to tryhard everygame to somehow win cuz my teammats mostly zerk around…

how do you know you have top 100 mmr?

once again, that’s because you’re blessed with low mmr

you’re not getting them BACK to BACK
when players with higher mmr get tired of being farmed, we stop queing for a little bit
and then they filter through a lower mmr bracket and play the next tier down

and they play like 12+ hours a day,

I’ve been getting exclusive high mmr teams, if it’s not pz it’s OE’s 4 man or some other pro league team

it’s frustrating

Renee.7814:

This is just straight false… I climbed all of emerald solo with a substantially higher winrate than pre leagues. It has been easier in my experience

that just means you’re a low mmr player and you’ve been lucky

right now i am getting apex, and pz premades back to back

i can avoid one but not the other

lol try getting abjured, pz and apex premades

they’re switching their members right now, avoiding each other and just farm pugs

you get punished for having a high mmr
but u also get punished for trying to lower your mmr

I don’t know what the kitten to do here

if they want to play as a team, there are in houses or scrims

ranked teams are purely farm fest, only the top teams will make it because they already picked out the best players
if you’re decent at the game but didn’t get invited to those teams, you’re kitten

round 4 boys

they put nos on the team this time

it’s not like i got anymore pips to lose

so tired…i have PLENTY more of those screen shots if i’m allowed to upload more

life of solo que

it’s bad enough that you can’t dodge out of it but
even teleport knocks you down

that’ just too much

can you fix the stun out of trap bug?

dragon hunter has 2 of them and they are literally impossible to dodge

specially if u walk on a point and don’t see it

when I teleport out, I don’t actually touch the edge of the trap, so why do i still get knocked down?

for thieves the double knock down is so huge problem

can the devs look into this?

so when is the fix on draw back heal coming?

or mid air immob getting fixed?

no…meta is tanky because builds are tankier
they have more sustain

you can have a power ranger or thief, without counter pressure, go all in on the tanks
and still not able to kill them

tempest ele, tank rev, scrappers or even tank mesmers can permanently sustain against old meta dps ( once again, it’s WITHOUT counter pressure)
and the tanks don’t even have to be top tier, 1 or 2 days of practice and they’re good to go

you’re talking about some cele stuff
maybe cele druid or necros
the point holders i’ve ran into deal enough dmg to comfortably drive off a zerker build
but they can perpetuated a fight forever against a zerker and another cele

tank revs, scrappers, tempests and even some necros can stall a 2v1 forever

I’ve ran into a tempest who literally spammed laugh as I tried to kill him with hammer rev

i’m just saying the damage we consider op might not be as over the top as we think

u have to look at things from top down where builds are utilized to their full potential

many people are going to rage on me but please keep an open mind

I see a lot of complaints about OP damage on varies builds but they often don’t realize just how tanky this meta is

I’ve played in quite a few tournaments since xpac and most of the teams are running
super tanky + heal support

it’s extremely difficult to take an opponent down, assuming they know what they’re doing and both teams are using their builds to the fullest

I’ve tried thief, power ranger, shatter mesmer, zerker warrior, power necro and none of them can do the job adequately

We can’t judge how whether the damage is op based on the old meta anymore
the people crying about rev hammer or DH traps need to wait til pro league comes out
some of them may seem op in solo ques because players are’t skilled enough to deal with them or caught off guard
but participate in a tournament and you’ll see the damage is actually quite necessary against the tanky meta

I’m looking forward to see you guys’ opinion

ok this guy, I have reported him…he is jsut habitual afker
look at it

he just doesn’t care, he knows he can get away with it
come on devs, every other game i’ve played has a legit, working punish system for things like these

why doesn’t this game?

literally the very next game

or when do we get the option to report someone for trolling and afk?
tired of players like these

Remember how we used to be able to see all the trait lines in 1 window?
It was a lot easy to compare different traits when they’re all laid out like that

I really don’t like the new system where i can only see 3 and have to get rid of 1 to
compare another

can we please bring back the old system?

I can’t be the only one to have talked about this

Zdenny.2704:

Play thief jst only half and year, and yes they are lacking hte fighting potential. But this is not what the class was designed for. Otherwise why would be then in almost every esport game?

Edit: is called competetive, when certain class do their job in order to win the match. Not 5v5 gather on one place and fight each other. Strategy to win the game.

yes…it was designed to be a fighter lol….the whole initiative system was designed for that, at the first launch anyways
read the dev’s early commentaries.

its role shifted through out the years with nerfs and became quite awkward
you can say that thief’s role is to decap
but that is about it
every other class can tank, dps, support and do all kinds of things but thieves are really stuck with one
hit and run

that’s why there are so much complaining about thieves

good speculations but none of it make sense lol….
ai..is that really a problem?
I use it for the stacks because it’s one of the few that has power + ferocity, and it has +4% dmg which is great
i can careless about the dog…are they going to give it a replacement?
nothing really matches it
scholar runes are a poor replacement…

I don’t think they’re OP nor do I see them used a whole but
but they fight just right with my builds

it really caught me by surprise when they were removed.

“promote healthy gameplay”

what does that even mean?
how were those 2 rune sets toxic in any way?
can a dev please offer a little more explanation?

Gibimo.2193:

if you are not one of them you shouldn’t play pvp

NICE ONE

i lol’d so hard

just let the post die
the guy is seriously lacking some knowledge or gaming intelligence

no point in beating a dead horse

Rain.9213:

I usually save my shadowstep for the taunt and if not, I try to Steal at the ranger to interrupt him from kitten me while I’m taunted. But yeah, if you have nothing to cleanse that taunt and the ranger takes advantage of it, it’s pretty much game over for you.

you can’t select ranger during taunt lol

you’re target is fixed on the pet

well boys
.
.
those without new specs are missing out on some purrrty cool stuff

should have just gave us rifle

or a greatsword…at least i could role play as katana ninja that way T^T

;)
