Guild Wars 2

27 insights

- 1 ascended defender legging
- 1 power ghostly infusion

Rest is just random exos and rares

Yeah nothing’s gonna happen to them lol, I just lose those 4v5 matches w/e system is dumb.

You can do them in unranked which helps a bit.

The problem is when other people q with their bad friends as a trio and I end up on their team as a solo q and end up losing 2 pips cuz of them.

Well it’s the first league they’ve done so primordial could mean that…

Kinda sad to hear that you didn’t get much of a response from the instabilities part.

I mean at this point, later this year, maybe, is just too little too late.

I’m not sure what’s going on in Ruby but I got into a Ruby game as a solo q legend yesterday so something was kinda off.

I’m just getting my dailies done now 3 matches. There’s basically no chance of beating a legend premade on TS3 so every time I roll those teams as solo q I lose pips. Solo q vs premade, amber smurfing, the whole PIPZ system, bunker meta etc is just terrible but who cares cuz #ESPORTZZZZZZZZZ

If you are doing the circles you are generally semi ranged and condi so you just need to avoid the blue circles teleporting you away. The blue circles usually spawn near targets closest to the tank/boss so as long as you pay attention to those, you won’t get ported.

The boss always turns around his body when he is doing blue circle, you can pay attention to that tell too.

Well, pre HoT fractals were fun (they were my main daily thing). Post Hot, fractals are annoying as hell and not fun anymore (why I am punished with losing all my boon for a proper dodge? why random conditions that I can’t avoid are applied to me? etcetc). They are tedious, sorry. And more importantly, they are not a challange, not at all.

^ soooo much this.

It’s not like fracs are now suddenly hard or challenging, they’re still faceroll just bloody annoying.

Hmm I play with 300 ping from Australia.

This. I play with 250-300 ping and you’re here complaining about 100? LMAO get real dude

If you score high enough against a team you’re not very likely to beat, you gain pips.

eg. If you score > 400 against a team with < 20% of winning you gain 2 pips (i think)

rev will deal more dps than before.
tempest will be slightly stronger or about the same dps.
condi warrior will do about the same dps.
guard will still be useless.
thief will do more damage but wont be optimal because no group support and still less dps than other classes.
PS warrior will lose a bit of dps.
chrono wont lose its spot.
druid is druid, necro is necro and pvp lol esports balance is pvp lol esports balance.

How is the PS war losing DPS? Livestream notes here don’t seem to show anything. I understand it’s just a preview, but no one’s said anything regarding warriors getting kitten.

Alacrity nerf maybe leading to less hundred baes = less dps?

Well if they dropped less then they’ll be worth more but overall you’ll get the same since you’re getting less of them.

I agree with readding transmutation charges though, rather have those than useless shards of useless.

It works if you hit legendary x1 AFTER they patched it, at least for me.

People that got legend before the patch have to hit a new x2/3/4/5 etc before it triggers I heard.

I’m glad that tokens are there to substitute for our terrible luck but at the same time since I can token cap by wiping on VG every week (I don’t but I can) it just doesn’t feel as satisfying as getting the actual lewtz from drop @ boss.

Week 9 and I got a grand total of 0 ascended drops 0 infusions anybody else having terrible rng?

Me too, nothin for the past 7 weeks lmao.

Reso slivers are actually ok for now, the worst offender is the sand, tons of wood and brown pigments. Outside of a few decorations that need like 20 resonating lodestones, the requirements are kinda reasonable.

Dw they’ll save WvW with the announcement of a new legendary backpack!

That’s pretty funny there’s a limit of 250 LOL.

If anyone needs a temp invite for scribe I can help too with my guild (on NA). Don’t have the last 2 upgrades though for emergency wp and presence of keep but got the rest.

Ah theres the problem. You only need to cross 4 divisions once in four seasons. So I take it back. You don’t need to get to diamond. Rebound you only get to ruby once. Sorry my bad.

You don’t need to cross all 4 division in 1 season. If for example you are capped at sapphire (3/4) you can go from Amber to Emerald next season to make it (4/4). They clarified this on reddit.

8. Split up solo q/team q

The system is terrible. I got matched with a diamond thief that legit had no idea what he was doing, first time playing the class and using signet of malice. He even had 29k AP so it was depressing as hell losing pips because I had an idiot thief on the team.

Way too many PvE heros, PvP leagues need to be SKILL/MMR based and not this trash, games are lopsided and unenjoyable even at diamond.

The raid loot kinda sucks. My friend 22 insights no mini, no asc and no ghostly infusions. I think he just uninstalled after raiding at raid reset last nite. gg

Add all the reward you get from raid dude. You can get around 20-30 gold per hours with a decent group. Not counting any huge drop like an infusions.

Pretty much nobody I raid with gives a hoot about the gold from raids and just want interesting/unique loot drops. 4g + a rare maybe an exotic is hardly enticing loot.

Not to mention some class can skip the doors and go straight to lord cough

The raid loot kinda sucks. My friend 22 insights no mini, no asc and no ghostly infusions. I think he just uninstalled after raiding at raid reset last nite. gg

They should just have solo queue back so you can play with your friends and do whatever while I can play with a bunch of other people who are all soloing.

There were zergs running around when the streamers were doing their thing. After that it became a ghost town.

Which should have been the huge sign that the map wasn’t good. If it was, players would have stayed on it as much as they could. It’s a ghost town then as it is now.

Most people including myself didn’t realize there was even a second beta going on, it wasn’t handled very well at all so that’s the main reason there weren’t many people. Not saying the map doesn’t suck but it definitely wasn’t the main reason imo

Depends on the player more than the class. I’ve seen some amazing warrior/thiefs but the majority are just terrible players playing a class which requires them to be really good.

I’m really sick and tired of losing 2 pips to premade smurf teams. It’s just dumb diamonds can queue with ambers and roflstomp matches 500-200 and gain pips.

You think queue times are bad now wait till people stop playing PvP cuz of this bs

Chop wood. PvP. Cry about PvP meta. Chop wood. Chop more wood. Chop more wood. Alt F4.

To me & my friends dungeon gold isn’t the issue, even pre HoT we wouldn’t run a lot of dungeon because it was boring.

What we could do however, was 50, 40, 30 fractals. There’s just nothing else for people to do now though that don’t want to raid.

There just isn’t enough “small group” content to keep people engaged. Raids take far too much commitment in terms of time and effort for most people, I guess you can call them casuals but they still deserve to play something.

Outside of the quick 30 min daily frac, there’s nothing else to do and even then I can only run it once with 4 other people.

I kinda agree with the OP although I wouldn’t necessarily call them bad players, just people with less time.

275-300 I made backpack earlier when people didn’t know and dumped the components on TP for cheap. Now is super expensive lol.

Fracs are already basically dead now, all people run are 56 67 and 77 with the occasional pages just in case we need in the future. Don’t need to wait a year lol.

And I get sad every time I see a rev that insists on running Shiro/Glint when they’re in a party with a mesmer.

I still take shiro sometimes over mallyx cuz Shiro has a little bit more use than that extra little bit of DPS (extra dodge, stun for elite). The DPS checks aren’t tight enough yet to bother to min max that hard. Obviously I still keep the nature facet up in Shiro.

Where are u seeing 450 linen ropes? I only see 4.

I like timberline falls for pressing F personally

I’ve gotten all 4 today just by tagging up per lane and telling people to move at ~5% HP during phase 2. Kinda stupid watching the Gerent flail around dropping boulders on no one for 2 minutes lmao.

Best work around until ANet fixes it.

Pretty much. I get like 50 at least if I half tag the 3 events at SCAR before the start and 75 tokens if I go full 100% participation.

You just need a lot of Snow Pile stocked up I think as long as the recipe stay the same available all year round.

Most of the HoT events require organization and cooperation to succeed whereas old tyria world bosses just require a few people spamming 1 afking. This is the main reason why they seem empty, because people aren’t willing to lead and expect others to do so (aka taxi wars 2)

RNG. Keep trying, took me ages.

Prob VG because it was the first.

I think you should consider getting a VPN to play raid if lag is that big of an issue. It helps and is the only way really =3

Rev’s Coalescence of Ruin hits two to three times on Chak Gerent. Ice bows and meteors on Ele is great too due to the huge hitbox.

I used 20 Guild Vault things and 7 backpacks to get to 400. The 7 gave like 370-400 I think, can’t recall.

It is a lot cheaper to buy the rare component on the TP for the backpiece than make it though, can save some $$$$$.

As far as i know nothing at 375 and nothing on dulfys site.

Just did another pug run just now of TD Chak Gerent. Killed with 30 secs to spare on all 4 lanes with Novus killing theirs before phase 2 finished.

Pretty soon it’ll be farm mode.

PS warrior is easiest.

Rev would be next best for lag since your rotation isn’t too complicated.

OCX is playable on NA. It’s definitely harder than low ping players because 90% of the time I can’t dodge Gors swipe unless I pre dodge.

Having said that, it’s playable, it’s a lot harder but not impossible.

If you have 5 seconds delay then that’s just over though, 3-400 ping is fine, 5000 isn’t.
