Guild Wars 2

It’s not just aoe, it’s zero risk – high reward damage in general.

I’m experiencing this too, when I am in game I get lag spikes for 4-8 seconds constantly as well. This consistantly happens after patch days for me, ranging from 2 days to 2 weeks. Sucks mang, it’s unplayable.

alcopaul.2156:

you played 1201 matches dude. rank 10 only played 13 matches.

should it be the rank based on the lowest number of matches played? it’s called efficiency.

E SPORTS

seriously don’t know why anyone cares about ladder, it prevents you from pugging – has no rewards – is obviously flawed in however they determine rank – no indication of resetting, ever – account bound instead of character or team – most of your games are vs low ranked pugs – low population community – current game mode has very low representation of actual individual skill levels

yeah, esports

Thesilentflute.8761:

I am a lil mad bro it bothers me that you guys are blaming your class when I face epic wars all the time.

try playing one then. “epic wars” lol. There’s no role a warrior fills that can’t be done by someone else either faster, safer, or fills multiple roles.

Lukrath.6982:

so silent… this isn’t a real discussion its just an angry kid trying to defend a class by trolling and being an idiot. being a kittentard to every person who finds something wrong about war isn’t helping you my friend. personally I find that kind of blind devotion to a class sad. or you could just be stupid.

this guy plays a mesmer if you look through his history, and he is also primarily a WvW player .. disregaurd

(also cries nonstop about bunkers lol)

adjusting numbers is the laziest way you could possibly balance the game.

I see it as being either completely worthless (ie. 1-3% damage per boon) or turns out to be like evasive arcana or hgh to where every build is required to focus around that one trait

meh

for the sake of conversation what specifically would you change?

there’s a few different approaches they could take, and really it would have to come down to trial and error on a test server (they seem to be lacking really hard in this department)

but I think the easiest way would be a minor overhaul of the traits and weapons

for traits, instead of just giving us a buttload of % modifiers get creative and give us more useful synergies. complete overhaul of the useless traits, rework strength grandmasters, overhaul on rampage, make shout healing slightly better and more reactive(2-3second protection maybe?), do something with banners outside of stats, ect

can’t just buff 1 thing because that will be the only viable build. spread it out and make synergy. i like boon hate, if you put it on grandmaster defense trait and make it useful.. like i said you’d have to try different things and just test it to see how it plays. you can’t always just put it on paper and say yeah that will work. Plus you have to test it vs several several different situations and classes/specs because it may be weak at something but strong in other areas obviously.

I understand where they are coming from, I do feel like warrior is a slippery slope – either they’re completely garbage or insanely good and that’s always because of the way they scale, especially with team support. it’s been that way in almost every mmo – warrior being marginally sub-par – bad solo but unstoppable – really good with proper support. BUT – since you can’t reliably roam with support due to the nature of capture points, it kind of becomes stupid to view it in this way because that directly links to how powerful eles and gaurdians are more so than the warrior becoming an “unstoppable killing machine”. by that logic you could say mesmer + necro is an unstoppable killing machine because they could curbstop the other “unstoppable killing machine”

like I said, all you can do is theorycraft and ramble on without physically testing. We can make entertaining suggestions all we want but what actually works in game opposed to paper is always going to be different.

Sorry I know most of this is barely legible and my thoughts are everywhere, but this is why we need a public test server so badly.

PS : PLEASE REMOVE SOME AI FROM THIS GAME

Sol.4310:

Not sure if anyone else is seeing this but almost every single game, the losing team seems to lose half there team so they don’t take rank hit…

This is going to unbalance the leaderboard in a big way…

Anet please make it so if you leave the game you get a loss or players will abuse it over and over.

There will be people with 100% wins.

not caring is a pretty good fix. doesn’t mean anything until they put in rewards and by that time they’ll need a fix for this + a reset will happen

so yeah, who cares

b..b..but guys! this is to prevent homogenization! seriously!

Deified.7520:

I really dislike this map, it is mainly because classes who have a lot of mobility just dominate in it. This is mostly eles. The speed that they can cap the orb is quite amazing.

Here is how I would improve it.

You can use no skills except heals. No blocks, invurnabilitys, etc. Allies can apply boons to you, such as stability, etc.

You can pass the orb or throw it a very small distance. I think this can greatly improve teamwork.

really though I don’t know why we got this stupid map instead of a real ctf map

butch.8136:

Anyway, I’m done solo q’ing until I get my name in that top1000. :p

a perfect example of a fundamentally flawed system, yet, I don’t see why anyone cares anyway because the reverse is also true in which most teams are just farming pugs. (and no rewards of course)

It’s not the number of wins that matter but the quality of those.

sorry but if 7 wins against top level teams puts you top 50 then their rating system is horrid. Take WoW for example, you start at 1500 rating. Even if you played the #1 team and beat them over and over it would take you 50+ games to get top 50.

seriously. 7 Wins, 4 Losses.

I’m not sure you should use Wow rating system as an example as you clearly don’t know how it works.

http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/1820952130

so it changed slightly and starts at 0 now vs 1500 before. did you even read that? it would still take 100s of games to get top 50. going 7-4 vs top team would out you at 700 rating in that system lol with top teams around 2800

It wouldn’t take 100 games to be top 50…

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/arena/tichondrius/3v3/travel%20form%20paw/
rank 4 40win-4 loss.
http://us.battle.net/wow/en/arena/tichondrius/3v3/full%20feared%20cdew%20LOL%20JK/
Only 30 matches played… rank 15

Now, if you are unable to make a a cohesive and accurate conclusion with this. Then… I fear for the humanity.

the odd are very highly against this person only queing vs.. let’s say top 20 people for those 11 games

also highly unlikely he would actually win unless it’s a new account

~edit – even if that is the case, the system sucks if you can progress that quickly – yeah there should be variance but not that high. even if the population is painfully low

it’s always been like this, well, since the playerbase tanked so hard. it’s the only active hotm I know of.. every other one is dead

mursie.3681:

uberkingkong.8041:

So they could have posted this a week ago, but they saw some bug and fixed it and did nothing to improve the leaderboard for the whole week. A lot of people seem downed about this leaderboard, and that’s because it don’t tell you jack squat except that some people got 12 wins and 5 loses and are on the leaderboard (45th place)

you really need to stop trolling. The info on that board is almost overwhelming. I not only know your account name… but your last name character used… your wins and losses, a quick ratio on wins/losses in the forms of a percentage… and last but not least.. I know what server you play on. Do you realize how important that last part is? Let’s say that I’m in the mists and I wanted to see your toon. Until this leaderboard, I had no clue what mists you were in. Now I do. Which means I can now go and guest on your server and actually SEE you in the mists. This is huge. I’ll be able to learn what you do while idle… or how you practice your dmg on golems. Honestly, it’s ppl like you that never appreciate the monumental things others do.

Thx anet for bringing us quality. While all players ^^ may not appreciate your efforts..the vast majority of us do. I love you guys

7/10 mostly for infraction avoidance

This sarcastic post pretty much says it all. Also, can we get a clarification on whether dropping from a match effects your w-l because some of these percentages seem bogus to me or at least the high number of people winning over 80% of the time seems bogus.

not hard if you 100% play with a premade, but seriously? that’s pretty boring to do

Celeras.4980:

You forced your hand with your own leaderboard by using ELO and displaying Winning Percentage.

If you log out in the middle of a game before it is over, you do not take a loss on your PvP tab. 499 – 23? Log off, quick! As far as I can speculate (since its impossible to know), you also don’t take any hit to your ELO rating. Everybody who plays knew it, but nobody cared because there was no reason to.

Now there is a reason to. Better get on it. The roster should be taken at the START of the match, not the end. Then you fill in the results at conclusion, regardless if the player stayed until the end of the match. Competitive gameplay 101.

is that really true? if it is.. wow

1) doesn’t show any information besides rank
2) exploitable
3) seems inaccurate or the system is insanely flawed for judging ranking
4) took 8 months for this one new feature

hmm.. I don’t see anyone really caring about this similar to how rank is zero indication of skill. oh well..

Sprawl.3891:

last 2 they said same exact stuff so no point

even if they said something new, I don’t think anyone will trust what they have to say at this point..

everyone just giving up huh

a game that sold 3 mil boxes ($180,000,000) upfront that would of taken a good dev team 2-3 years to develop and can’t even finish their game would want a sub fee?

yea ok. next i’ll start paying a sub fee for sim city or starcraft

numri.7081:

I returned to sPVP with my warrior the other day after not playing it for a couple of months, played some 2-team tournament games and what really set me off was the amount of minion mancers running around. I had atleast 3-4 games where the team consisted of atleast 4 Necros with a similar build.

Their minions cluttering up my screen, messing with my targeting. Generally being in the way of everything. I just couldn’t kill them. I was running a Healing shouts GS/AxeShield Warrior to deal some damage, build adrenaline, swap over to the axe and execute them with sigil of intelligence (guaranteed crit on next blow) but they just wouldn’t die, or I would mess up and target their minion instead.

Fellow warriors and any and all classes. How the hell do you deal with these mobile minion factories?!

you will literally never beat a minion necro as a warrior, especially any kind of shout build if the necro is using shamans. at best you might stalemate..

you’re better off switching to mace/shield – get the 50% crit talent on stun as a shout heal build btw. better burst than eviserate.. and more control

feels like a slap in the face honestly, at least the other posts they were actually trying to be good liars

yeah well i bet jon is tired of having to keep secrets from us, but his job depends on it. you, like boss calling him to a meeting type of stuff to warn him about giving out too much info. what a crappy company policy.

i mean i watch SOTG and i feel the jon’s are good guys and are decent pvper’s but their company policy is holding them back from making a decent pvp game. not just the “dont tell” policy but also the focus on PVE.

I doubt his boss makes him do SOTG. So therefore he is purposely feeding us bullkitten, to keep his department relevant longer to secure his job. IE – selling out

Seryi.7936:

OP’s hyperbole is pretty funny. I’m on Tarnished Coast, and whenever I go into the Mists, there are no shortage of people testing builds or queuing up.

But I shouldn’t be terribly surprised I guess. Mass hysteria on the forums seems pretty standard after each patch now. The rest of us just keep playing the game rather then Forum Wars 2.

I’d play, issues aside, if there was actually something to do

hmm wel do i wen 2 pug “premade” tornie 4 rank grind r hotjoin 4 rank grind or mebe iiiiiii solo q dis shet r mebe iiiiii do me daily 4 glory or mebeee.. i .. craft same stuf wit me glory dat i had 5 minute aftr i rank.. or meeebeee iiiiii.. go grind pve 4 progression.. o.. o..k.. wait.. wait 1 sec u silly rabbit

Empathetic Fighter.2065:

You can’t take this thread serious anymore. I mean every class will change in upcoming patches, can be this year, can be next year. What Jon is saying is like the rest we can read from them, which in every text you see the words “soon”, “upcoming”, “we take a look at it”, We are working on it", “we release it when it’s done”, “we can’t say when, but it definitely will be done” etc.

feels like a slap in the face honestly, at least the other posts they were actually trying to be good liars

I been experimenting alot of what to replace epidemic with and I dont like any of the options so just go for signet of the locust. I think it is underrated to be honest. Mobility is so important.

plague sig is nice with so many classes running condi. nice team support too.

also breaks everything, since its a condi drop + stun breaker

In upcoming patches will Warriors see some changes? = yes.

Man you warriors are totally screwed now. Johnathan last frequented the thief forum with some very rational and well thought out changes to stealth. He then implemented 10 changes he didn’t talk about that totally destroyed the class for PvE.

If he has his sights on you i’d suggest switching classes now,

Hey that’s not true!!
The developtors do not really care the shxx about ranger, and see what happened?
Rangers got slapped in face too!! (PVE mostly)

So please just remember this as a life lesson:
Only play OP classes from now on if it’s the product of Anet, since they’ll just become more and more powerful. (Looking at ele an mesmer).

it’s pretty similar to what happened with d3. super hype because of the name alone, yet a different dev team – sell huge – then a kitten game

at least they picked up the pieces and fired an entire team. Actually making good improvements now.

Anet & ncsoft are elitists – they think they are almighty and the community is kitten Also very similar to the d3 team. But, I have hope only because it’s such a huge company they will overhaul the entire dev team and follow blizzards footsteps

cut your losses, start from scratch. tons of money to be made in this game still.

Considering this is the only response aside from leadboard clarification since the patch, you can obviously see the attitude. They don’t care.

Robot responses, dwindling forums. Now we are getting attitude when asking about a serious issue for days now.

What kind of company model is this? They are literally telling us go away we have your money already and wait for the expansion.

Go ahead, delete my post and infract me. I notice they are caring less and less about forum -hush hush- control as well. Until the next expansion is soon and they hype it – then everyone shhhh so we can sell some more boxes hehehhehe.

mbh.8301:

dejay.2598:

I could care less if something is reposted 5000 times if it’s necessary.

Using the word necessary implies that it will actually accomplish something.

like I said, day by day less people to vent. at this point the only people even left are the ones who desperately wanted the game to do well, and stuck it out. In the back of our minds it’s only human nature to enjoy watching something slowly burn and die – even if part of ourselves go along with it

plus – boredom – people have been waiting for a big mutiplayer pc title for years (outside of fps) – there are huge niches to profit from, the only problem is every company wants to go for the mass appeal “strategy”

I think one thing a company can learn from gw2 is let the community create content, let them decide what direction the game goes. Don’t say – no – because that will split up the playerbase – because guess what? people leaving does even more damage.

The whole “big brother” holding them back is also rediculous. Let’s see how far that gets you on your expansion sales and future reputation. How many people would actually pay for a sub at this point? probably less than 10%. you can say well subs = more money for production but the fact is they sold very well even with an unfinished game and have made almost no progress since then. At the very least they should have a polished core game.

People act like we are asking so much from them, but really it’s promises dating back to beta.

mbh.8301:

dejay.2598:

what should the pvp forums consist of then? if there are problems, not post the problems?

yet, you don’t like posting of false – praising either?

then what? there is no point to this forum apparently.

I made a post earlier that was tl;dr and got buried under 10 threads of “omg laurels” / “omg warriors” but I don’t want anyone to post the topic again because clearly the community doesn’t feel that there isn’t anything more to be said on the matter. Overlap is unavoidable, but I think a lot of stuff gets posted just because anet didn’t respond to a previous thread saying “yes yes, you’re very smart and here’s a pat on the back with your interview at our head office please save our game”

Maybe just have anet to sticky a list of things that they’ve acknowledged so we don’t keep having the same topics over and over because someone wants validation from the devs or the community.

I could care less if something is reposted 5000 times if it’s necessary. There are tons of tldr posts on the forums nobody glances at, it’s better to just state a point per topic honestly. Mostly because people go off suggested 10 things that would only work if everything was together or something similar..

forums have been a cesspool since november/december and devs actually posted in several good suggestion threads and nothing happens.

I agree it’s a way to “vent” but day by day there are less people to even do that here

mbh.8301:

dejay.2598:

you really have an argument for paying $60 for an unfinished game?

every single heart of the mist except anvil rock (still pretty empty) is dead – so why not merge them? Then, since our population is so low – why not just make hotm free to play

Nobody is happy about the state of pvp except for empathic fighter and that other guy that’s constantly saying nice things about anet. We all wanted the game to be a success in pvp, but anet doesn’t and we’re all sour about that. You know what? It’s completely reasonable to be sour about this nonsense because a respectable number of the complaints we’re making are things that were learned by the gw1 devteam and it’s not intuitive to anyone why those lessons were just lost in the wind.

I think everyone’s in favor of making hotm free to play and consolidated into the district system from gw1. In fact, I think most zones should be done in a district system (it would certainly stop a lot of pve complaints about dragon events).

I do not think that posting this stuff over and over will make this stuff happen. It’s been posted 100 times before, it’ll be posted 100 times again, but it’s not like on the millionth post the devs will finally be like “OMG! WE SHOULD MAKE HOTM FREE!” It’s obviously not up to them and we shouldn’t hold our breath for it happening.

We’re on the same team here, I just don’t want to see these threads anymore because it clearly doesn’t make a difference and it’s just used as some kind of way for the community to vent frustrations onto itself. It’s stupid. Purringly stupid. Meowingly kitten.

what should the pvp forums consist of then? if there are problems, not post the problems?

yet, you don’t like posting of false – praising either?

then what? there is no point to this forum apparently.

gwawer.9805:

pve is holding pvp back. u know why? cuz before they implement warrior changes in PVP they gotta run it b the PVE team first. what a bunch of horsecandy

exactly the reason I bought this game in the first place, because I thought that would be a non-issue

and it’s the same reason I quit wow at the end of burning crusade, a bunch of spammy over the top skills + taking the back seat to pve – I feel like anet sold out at the first speed bump. Other games already proved pvp can be profitable, they just cut and run too quickly.

seems like the burst classes that are left are weak to condi classes because they usually run shamans or rabid (high toughness) so it feels like the meta is essentially condi vs bunker

feeling really useful on my mess around minion/condition/bunkish necro running corrupt boon + plague signet

don’t think my already sub par shout warrior can deal with that, and i quit ele months ago when they became fotm

mbh.8301:

I never get tired of these squeaky threads. They are always well written and useful.

(then give those us us who payed 60$ cash shop gems for custom arena pls)

This is like going to a grocery store, buying an avocado so hard it could kill a horse, then telling the store to give you a ripe avocado. The claim has always been that pvp will be finished one day, just like your avocado will ripen, and anet really doesn`t have a reason to hurry that process up.

Anet is under no obligation to cater to the pvp community because it won`t satisfy any particular fiscal report. Even if the game was subscription based, the pvp population is so tiny that they wouldn`t even notice if we all quit. As it is now, we paid upfront and they just lose money on us by hiring pvp devs, programmers, and running servers.

Now some of you big boys might talk about how you spent money on the gem store (I think one guy around here said he spent 3x the game`s value in additional gems) but if pvpers were a demographic which spent disproportionately more than pvers and wvwrs then we wouldn`t be in our current neglected state, or at least it wouldn’t be quite so bad.

I`m all for asking more of the company, but these posts are always completely tactless and antagonizing. Not to mention the fact that half of the opinions are still in the fetal stage by the time they are prematurely birthed onto these forums.

you really have an argument for paying $60 for an unfinished game? I could see if I was crying about lack of content updates on a finished game with no income for the company, but that’s not the case.

fact is, the game was advertised for pvp. I would gladly pay a measly 10 bucks a month for a proper game with timely updates and devs who actually care and are properly informed

the fact that you sit around the pvp forums and tell people, oh sorry you paid for this and no matter how much money you theoretically did throw away into the game it doesn’t matter you still don’t get anything.

how is it my fault they didn’t put anything in the gem store in the beginning? how is it my fault the economists overseeing pvp failed? how is it my fault that they published an unfinished game, then, instead of finishing it then monetize- they cut resources 90% and still didn’t monetize it

more importantly- you’re completely off subject. I’m not even saying anything about content, or ect ect ect. I’m simply stating – every single heart of the mist except anvil rock (still pretty empty) is dead – so why not merge them? Then, since our population is so low – why not just make hotm free to play, if they actually get decent cash shop items they’d probably actually make more money like that. AND It’s incentive for people to buy the real game for pve/wvw if they so chose

JonathanSharp.7094:

NOW = no.

In upcoming patches will Warriors see some changes? = yes.

in b4 poopstorm

even on the most popular server anvil rock you’ll see ~20-30 people sitting around during PRIME TIME. If you go on other HIGH population servers there are literally 1-5 people at most.

Sure, you can say they are in games/ect but look at the hotjoin screen. Maybe ~100 people in hotjoin during prime in ALL OF US? Maybe 50% of that number in 1 round tournie? (sparing a minor influx from the pve’rs getting their monthly right now)

When are you going to make heart of the mist separate, merged, and free to play?

Raine.1394:

HC was fun in Diablo. There was a problem with death by d/c which would also be a problem in this game. The main problem I would have with it here is that death can be one or two shot out of the blue. In D3 once they toned down the affixes elites could assume fight outcomes generally depended on player skill. GW2 has combat mechanics that introduce random death much too often for a harcore mode to be successful imo.

And, the reference by Oldsarge above about aggro switching is actually a sport in HC—it’s called PKing (Player Killing) and it occasionally rises to an art form. It’s a form of non-consensual PvP and only really finds full expression in HC.

I could also imagine people griefing others by simply not resing downed players when they could/should just for the hell of it. No sir this sounds too much like something that griefers would get a huge kick out of.

griefing is fun though. if only we could hostile in the world to promote real world pvp

imagine trying to level in queensdale at primetime

would be so fun

Mesmers are for the worst players possible, invulnerable or teleporting nearly all the time while their PvE entities keep doing damage. A ton of mesmers out there don’t even know how to strafe yet win 1v1 against much more skilled opponents of other professions.

What’s funny is a lot of good players are Mesmers… You know the guys that cohosted the SOTG? Yeah mesmers… And a lot of mesmer players have designed builds around dodging/strafing trying to stay as mobile as possible… Sure there are terrible players out there that started a mesmer and got it to level 2 and only use it in hotjoins because it confuses new players but that is no reason to clump an entire group of players in with “baddies” jerk… But then again every other player in hot joins is a thief/engi/ele/mesmer usually don’t see anything outside of that really.

“every other player is half of the classes”

bump

15 char

I know you’re going to tell me it’s fps lag, but it isn’t. The fps doesn’t tank, and i can still move around / ect just obvious network lag not being able to use abilities and teleporting when the spike is over

every 1-3 minutes I get a 3-10 second spike

I logged onto a different pc in the house on the same network and had no issues yet that computer actually has worse computer specs

Tried everything. double checked drivers. tried WTFast / battleping. this is on a fresh install of xp. the computer runs fine / no time outs during web browsing or other games connection.

I tried running a ping program and showed random spikes of 40-90% packet loss, otherwise running under 50ms

KrisHQ.4719:

COD and WoW? Really?
Nothing to do here
flies away

never claimed to like either
reading comprehension

KrisHQ.4719:

Sounds like you hate every single game out there.
I dont think we can find a game that pleases you. You should become a game developer.

not my fault everyone falls short after cod took over platform and wow took over pc, the recent trend is appeal to the masses and not have any core or niche audience

same thing goes for anything in life really. all about them dollar bills. screw integrity

neithan.9750:

Have you updated your video driver?

Sadly, it sounds like your issues are isolated to your computer. Something is not jiving between your comp and gw2. I wish I had more advice, sorry to hear you’re having those problems.

ofc my drivers are up to date. yeah im so sure it’s my rig when i can alt tab from the game during a spike and load up a webpage in .5 seconds, come back in still be lagging for another 5- 10 seconds

Sounds more like the fault of your system, than GW2. Though I’ll agree on laggy world events like dragons, those are awful.
Maybe try some single player games for a change?

Or maybe….some single player….RPGs. :O

I am waiting for Defiance atm. :X

I stopped pveing 2-3 months ago. This game is alt heaven for most folks, but after leveling two 80’s, I was all like…bleh. Same grind for gear. More grind for end game gear. Not interested. Laurel and dailies just aren’t my thing.

single player rpgs are boring man. nothing wrong with my rig. have a 550 ti card maxed out ram on a 32 bit and a decent processor. gw2 graphics are very low end.. if a ~800$ machine under 2 years old is having issues with this game something isn’t right

i hear people with 2500$ monster pcs bottlenecked at 30fps

fps isn’t even my problem honestly. the network issues every other patch that take weeks to resolve + lack of content + no pvp scene i’m over it mang

hoping for a good summer this year for titles. someone has to take over wow’s throne

i sit at 65-70 fps everywhere i go until i turn the camera and it spikes down to 15 on medium settings

or it just shifts between 70 to 10 randomly

honestly doesn’t bother me nearly as much as crashing every 10 minutes, and having network lag spike every 2-3 minutes

and it’s not my isp, every other game runs fine.

got bored/frusterated with spvp’s many issues and I have nothing better to play.. so why not do pve as much as I hate it, maybe i’ll be able to play wvw eventually

- inc game crash every 2-3 waypoint i use
- inc 2-3 second lag spike every 2-3 minutes (thought it was only the spvp maps after recent patch)
- inc bottlenecked fps when I run much better games on higher settings
- inc lagfest world events
- inc lame end game

so what other games are there out right now? I signed up for elder online beta, poe is meh, quit wow after bc, tera sux, console gaming is a joke right now (inc cod 26)

not that gaming is my only hobby, but man, it replaces tv and I need something to fill this void
