And I don’t get much in return from posting in the forums aside from knowing I’m ‘doing what I can to help the game grow’. I must be a hero, too.
Thank you sPvP community!
Buy Coca Cola.
/subforum
but i still hear a lot of people claiming that warrior are very powderful wor, how? O_O
Another day, same hotjoiner sandbagging the most OP class in the game.
A ‘thank you’ that conveniently doubles as advertising.
Presumably, the people you want to thank already have access to this link by virtue of the reason you want to thank them.
Need a new subforum for these ‘eSports’ narcissists.
But in hotjoin zergs still always win, your statement only applies to tpvp.
Hotjoin = Better zerg wins, like wvw.
Rubbish.
One rabbit backcapping > 8-man zerg.
you both are highlighting and acknowledging that there are major flaws with the current professions and combat system.
No, we’re highlighting and acknowledging that there would be obstacles to overcome to implement this particular PvP mode given the current state of the game.
so do you want anet to continue to use secondary and gimmicky objectives and not address profession disparities or actually work on core balance and teamwork issues?
Healing/bunker builds aren’t a ‘core balance and teamwork issue’, they’re an integral part of conquest mode. Anet’s not going to get rid of them, reset the conquest meta and completely restructure every class in the game just to introduce a new game mode.
You mention ‘profession disparities’ and ‘core balance issues’ but don’t offer any actual suggestions in your self-described ‘amazing suggestion’. My impression is that you haven’t really thought this through. But do tell: how would you implement a deathmatch mode with respect to this issue?
Keep Skyhammer.
Add Groundhammer and Waterhammer.
Groundhammer strikes launch you high enough into the air that fall damage kills (unless traited). However, if you have the Groundhammer buff (which you obtain in the hidden cave by fighting your own ghost with a lightsaber), you take no fall damage and instead cause AoE damage and knockdown where you land.
Waterhammers on each side of the map push characters laterally towards a pool in the middle filled with flesh-eating piranhas. Characters caught between both Waterhammer jets are instantly downed. Periodic tsunamis damage and knockdown characters who do not have the floaties buff or a surfboard equipped.
Coming soon: Spacehammer!
Maybe not deathmatch but we definitely need a mode without treb/cannon/npcs.
I want to see pure pvp without annoying things like sieges etc.yes, pure death match. no circles. no nothing except for a map to spill our enemies pixilated blood over and rob them of leaderboard points!
I’m all for deathmatch maps, but they will still need some sort of secondary mechanic to avoid, as Florgknight describes:
5 bunker aoe heal builds on one team. Game lasts until someone falls asleep or the other team gets tired of mashing buttons.
As we speak, others are requesting removal of the AoE cap in PvP to counter the petting zoo meta.
OP obviously got lost on his way to the WzzzW forums.
Lys one shotted me two times in 0.5 secs
How does that work?
Hate over cosmetics, it is just silly.
PETA would disagree.
But you keep hating them haters.
I guess you are one of the people who just mindlessly spam AOE.
If you’re threatened by someone ‘mindlessly spamming AoE’, the problem is all you.
GW1.

The Rabbit Document.
AoE counters petting zoo, which is what most people seem to be complaining about these days. Which meta would you prefer?
Fights are a lot more fun when people need to pick a target and attack and not just mindlessly spam AOE in the general area.
They are, are they? I’m glad you’re around to tell us these things.
Meh. IDS was a nice skin in GW1. It’s not on my list.
what movie? O_O
The movie adaptation of the serial chronicles of the epic journey that is your first 11 games of solo queue. I hear mighty meak is attached to write the screenplay. Billed: ‘very niche, even for an indie’.
I especially liked this last episode, and am touched that you dedicated it to me. My favourite part was when you killed everyone, and when people said you were good.
Please let me sync queue with you next episode. I want to be in the movie.
(of course, he blocked me right after to be sure to not hear anything)
Oh, you can whisper people you’ve already blocked. Because Anet <3 gutless trolls.
That said, and I’m no etymologist, but the adjective ‘phatetic’ is clearly derived from ‘phat’, which is slang for ‘excellent’, so I’d take it as a compliment.
I’ma wait for the movie. Don’t spoil it for me.
Keep Skyhammer.
Add Groundhammer and Waterhammer.
Just give asura cast bars to even out their advantage over other races.
Too much of a disdvantage unless rolled out for all races, and doesn’t address the targeting issue.
Asura are a smaller race with smaller weapons, so give them less range and smaller AoE in PvP.
Fixed.
pvp chat is hilarious madtyping. the real kittenty community is the pve side.
This. Trash talk is the better half of PvP. And once you understand that it doesn’t actually affect you in any meaningful way whatsoever, you might even learn to enjoy it.
Staff ele is viable in solo queue if you know your role, but then anything is viable considering the trash that rattles around in there.
In practise, solo queue is 10% build, 20% skill and 70% ability to use the minimap.
Interesting data, thanks for posting.
Something like this probably would have saved you a lot of time, hey.
You’ll never get anywhere without concrete suggestions.
From all evidence, you’ll get as far as you do with concrete suggestions, but for far less effort.
Ofc that dont say the strenght of the class but there are a lot of players that use that argument to tell that warriors are OP.
There are also a lot of what can only very loosely be described as ‘warriors’ defending an unbalanced status quo by burning perfectly innocent and stupidly unrelated straw men.
You’ve trolled this subforum long enough to know very well why your class is OP. Stop feigning an ignorance we all know is very real.
I remember when elementalist actually had a class mechanic.
Now it has all the utility of two weapons spread over four slots.
F1 for ele is just a weapon swap button that you have to trait.
warriors are not overpowered because if warriors are overpowered, everyone would only play warriors in sPvP and nothing else.
happy new year!
how can one argue against such a bullet proof argument? are you like, an irl lawyer ?
Smart money says PvP Balance Team.
the possibility to one-shot your opponents does not deserve to be in tournaments.
So you’re leading the charge for an ele vitality buff? Funny, I haven’t seen that thread.
This forum consensus: S/D thief needs to be nerfed more!
Thief forum consensus: No one plays S/D thief anymore cause it’s no longer viableSomething is not right here :P
S/D thieves troll their own forum almost as much as they troll sPvP.
Don’t really play hotjoin any more, but it did kitten me to tears that you’d be balanced while carrying the orb in Spirit Watch. Usually right when you were about to score.
Make the carrier immune to autobalance. It’s rank, mouth-breathing common sense that should really go without saying.
Pretty sure there is a separate subforum for recruiting.
Use solo queue rank – 70% and above, or something.
Or pick names out of a hat, or something. SoloQ rank is RNG.
PvE level is a better indicator of skill than SoloQ rank.
The winner is who will convence the devs to nerf other classes and buff their.
Putting the warrior in silentnight warrior.
Necros are part of the game. Like Skyhammer.
Lose 50 matches that you’ve led by 100 points.
Also, please give ETA on when condition damage will be removed or some option to not play against necros.
Don’t make me have to make a new thread.
“ALL IS VAIN” should be a pvp title.
Seconded.
It’s a simple fix really…they already have it in place. Why not let those who don’t want to play it, not have to play it?
So, by the same token, we should let people who only want to play Skyhammer, only play Skyhammer?
Maybe we should let people turn off condition damage, too.
Top 100 in solo arenas.
Yeah, sorry. There’s no Lucky title in GW2.
I don’t see why I or anybody elses needs to stay and suffer if team is lousy, or if I am lousy, or if we got something else to do all of a sudden.
Because suffering is character building and you are in dire need of some character.
Can’t PvP, can’t troll.
Don’t. We already have to carry enough care bears who only PvP for the money.
TLDR: “I am sick of my rabbit finisher getting interrupted.”
I’m sure if they would pop up a message asking ,,Do you want Skyhammer removed? " after playing one the results will be the same ( if not more hatred ).
That’s not usually how it works. Self-selection is biased against the status quo. If you create a poll asking “Should we get rid of Skyhammer?”, the people most motivated to respond will be those who want to get rid of Skyhammer.
Those who are happy with the status quo have no real reason to answer the poll because they already have what they want.
And then there are other methodology issues, including the items on this poll being poorly chosen and prejudicial. If you want a poll to be taken seriously, you should attempt to take a serious poll.
We sure do! Statistician class too stronk.
Thanks Evan, good to know it’s on the list. But even without the detailed stats, I’d love to see some kind of basic scorecard log in the interim. I genuinely think this would help soloQers matchmake teams and migrate to tPvP.
According to poll 75% hates Skyhammer and wants it removed.
Results are unreliable.
Given time, the tears of the children who can’t play Skyhammer will fill the canyon below the map and we’ll be able to swim back up.
Problem solved.
Also at least in solo-q I don’t think we’d see anything like red resign, because the entire team would need to be pve’ers wanting to finish fast for that to work
I guess if you gave dishonor for resigning… I just think its too easily exploitable with custom arenas. Then you’ve got everyone wanting to resign when they get 10 points down and raging at the guy who’s trying to play. Not worth it.
Can’t really imagine playing random arenas on GW1 without it..or any pvp format, for that matter.
Different PvP though. In RA, you get faction for kills and more rank for win streaks, so coordinated resigning doesn’t achieve anything. It was only really viable in HB for the Zaishen quest.
No-one was playing it except on Red Resign days. They didn’t have to kill the whole game mode, they could have just stopped the Zaishen quest. But scads of people were doing it.
Give /resign a week and half the PvE population would be farming it.
Instant new game mode: Red Resign
