Guild Wars 2

VeeWee aside, what balance does a engi hold in a group?… I play full cel dire/rabid and exotic(and lezbehonest) dire bunker gear, and i just feel outclassed in my typical guard war necro comp. My big question is, “Where does an engi hold s/he’s ground?”.

edit: a typo

Dustfinger.9510:

Veewee speaks fluent French, in Russian.

does she stay thirst, my frand?

are you asking for just a pve standpoint?

all i’ve learned from this post is that VeeWee is a pink floyd fan?!

so can i be frands with VeeWee?

why are veewee videos silent! nobody like silent videos!

I mained a thief since beta and have gone back and forth so i hope this helps.

Quasiscientific here! #1 engi EU and fanciest looking asuran NA!
When i started on engi it was pvp nade bomb condi P/S build! which is still good! but i played it offensively like a zerk thief would! which is thilly! if you play 3 kit builds with shield, like veewee said learn your fields! acid bomb and shield 4 are blasts so use them wisely! i suggest with healing turrets over charge or bomb kits number 2! smoke bomb is just thilly to acid bomb! it really is a hard change to do thief to engi (1200 hours on thief 700 on engi here) but once you learn it, it all just becomes muscle memory!

Yippie! Hope it all helped frand!

i was drunk in wvw tonight using cel with pistols.( i normally run dire pistols) and i really didn’t see a drunken difference

Hai frands! Quasiscientific, #2 Ranked Engi and best wvw ever!

I’d just like to vote VeeWee for the best frand of the year award! what an idol!

Yippie! Later Pals!…

i feel like you’ve rubbed off on me.

PS. VeeWee please what server and what do you look like so be can be super frands!

i really don’t like the kit in itself tbh. everyone I’ve fought using it is just spam the skills and press 1! how is that fun! Even wolfineers build i tried and said “this is poop!”. its just a boring kit to me and i don’t see it doing enough damage for people to start using it thillisly or being the new meta.

@dancingmonkey He’s just trying to be every bodies frand! I think its pretty funny the things he does and adds a little fun to this forum. Everyone is aloud to be hard headed and stubborn about things! its their right! I’m not disagreeing with you about your post but everyone that traits into the inventions line is a bad person!

velhavn.7694:

she’s a girl, kinda cute.

if you added “her” can you pvp better?

^ can we make this happen?! what does he look like. for some reason i imagine a asuran rainbow colored armor with a rutsack.

Well, I’m just curious because of the 2 accounts. i was wondering if it was just a troll name randoms use for " funsies" or if there is an actual toon named VeeWee thats #1 engi NA and first rank 80 that makes “thuper thilly” post. Which I admit do cram me up

I’ve seen posts from this person under ArrDee and Ellsee? and i just would like the story behindd the number 1 engi NA

Well, since i’ve shelved my thief and now back on engi. (1000 + hrs thief 700 on engi) i will say that rangers have become a bit of an issue without a shield to reflect back that " pew pew" from a thief stand point i can not comment but I’m sure the zerker burst is just awful.

or just wait for a mesmer to port ¥øu?

Jessica Boettiger.2563:

Basically removing the achievement requirement during a tournament is an experimental step we took to reduce the incentive for achievement grinding. We want people to play WvW, and not focus too heavily on satisfying achievement requirements.

Then whats with all the pve content and no new LS super rad wvw maps?

How i don’t miss JQ and their long ques

i made this last night but i deleted because i knew i saw a post somewhere else. but after the patch all i do is lag and dc all the time now in wvw. my ip is 64.25.38.192:0 i’ve done just about all i can do with contacting my provider not finding any issues with my internet to reseting etc. any advice or anyone else having this issue

I <3 THIS GAME DON’T CHANGE ANYTHING FROM YOUR PATCH TO YOUR PUSH TO KILL MAPS!

so this is what it feels like for a bunker engi to get killed in 2 seconds vrs 1 person?

anet pls add /pause mode for me and my zerg..

No.No.I usually only have trouble with condi mesmers so maybe?and legendaries no

i see it making more sense as a turret instead of a kit tbh

meet an awesome guild here! plan on staying for awhile!

ArrDee.2573:

Hello frands! Vee Wee here, #1 Engi NA and world first rank 80!

What’s cruel is that the Skyhammer thread which has more views than Gangnam Style goes unanswered by any of the devs!

Wahoo! Bye frands!

Please pursue stand up. Stop playing guild wars and become a comedian….my gawd how is there not a Vee Wee dedicated guild yet lol

i was promised something magical would happen when this thread got to 1k comments with no dev response.

I guess my major issue, and why i’ve switched back to my engi. Is, Even tho there will still be a strong build for thieves to run. Why is it we constantly have to adept and make changes to keep what the class is “supposed to be” when other professions can just slam their heads into the keyboard and ruin us

i still have fun using them from time to time, but i’ve always enjoyed 3 kit builds. Same traits that its been for awhile 6/0/0/6/2 always work. But to answer yes it does still work

comment……………

I’ll see a new game mode when i see a new expansion. Thats what i’ve concluded about this game.. as much as i like pvp i find myself in wvw more just being i really am over conquest.

Shadow shot=1 blind BP=1 blind if it connects. I can’t control the idiot warrior that decided to stand inside the field and be perm blind. So i find that you really don’t have that many blinds unless you are facing a “full kitten ” class.

Edit: misspelled DPS. And who woulda known that
kitten


gets turned into kitten. TIL

its always got me pumped up

Clicked the wrong thing to edit. not fixing it…to hungover to care

This forum has been nothing back: Op build, Skyhammer, and Noobs n Soloq….It’s quiet dark times…

I see this thread being moved to the sky hammer thread. as good as it is.

It’s Gw1 assassins Evade stances all over again. People get mad since they can’t auto pilot fights and have to think. You’re going to splatter nades/bomb/serious damage dealing aoe, ok, Ill step out and add poison fields and weakness to keep you low. I’m just there to annoy, I got nothing but time.

Phira.3970:

Yeah a dev said their working on more game type after they first finish ranking/ladder/match making and custom game modes.

Exactly how long would this take? After almost a 2 year old game I would think this would of been top priority. Considering (and this is just my speculation) Most MMO players end game is PvP type content.

Edit: I didn’t notice how old this thread is, but I think its relevant.
Edit 2: I wonder if the OP still plays the game since he hasn’t got what he’s asked for yet

XPGAMER.7324:

Because… Engi is underpowered.

Because people chasing me while running in my aoe nade/bomb fields isn’t underpowered at all.

Man so many necro’d posts! But i loved my assassin in gw, and would love to see it implemented into gw2

Considering this is the most talked about map, I believe Skyhammer has become a “player-faviorte”…..To troll and complain about how people don’t like it.

Where’s Vee Wee #1 engi Na and first 80 when you need some light shed on this topic!

this sounds like my dream guild..but alas, NA servers…

as i look at this, i realize, its going to end up being another thief build that gets the money loving end of the anet dev shaft and nerf so warriors can rampage even more.

Orion.3812:

As a ranger, or a guardian, or a thief, or… wait a second, what class doesn’t have a crowd control ability that can pull/push you off an edge in Skyhammer?

Every class has a way to knock you off. Some enjoy shorter cooldowns or more total cooldowns than others. Some have more stability available than others. Both are excellent ways to take control of the Skyhammer cannon, which is appropriately powerful and should not be nerfed in damage in any way, considering a healing guardian can easily stand in its fire.

Controlling an enemy’s physical position instead of just their ability to position themselves is a mechanic that is not unique to Guild Wars 2, but does play a larger role in this game than many others of the same genre. Skyhammer is not the only example of this, it may just be the most well-known place to exploit such mechanics to one’s obvious advantage.

This game does not need less Skyhammer. It needs more. We need more maps that give players a way to leverage specific skills or builds in unique ways to gain an advantage. The only problem with Skyhammer is that the right hit from any relevant point on the map can send you off the edge. Even B isn’t completely safe from instant death, but I think if someone causes you to fall from B to your death they deserve the credit.

Without Skyhammer, what is sPvP? Boring. Sure it’s fun when you first start playing it, and sometimes you get in a good fight but in the end the objective is exactly the same in every single sPvP map in this game: territories. There are mechanics that help you score points faster. There are mechanics that make it easier to hold territories. But ultimately, sPvP is territories.

Where is capture the flag? Hot potato? What about soccer, so we ckittene all those knockback moves on something that doesn’t whine in map chat every time it gets hit by them?

And most of all, where is death match? I don’t mean kill-as-many-as-you-can-for-points, I mean something meaningful where you pit two teams against each other and the last team with at least one member still alive wins.

So what you’re saying is PVP needs more “environment” ? sure! lets add lava to some pvp maps to pull people into that and get that silly op pve burn. How about more mobs? It’s unfair that i can only respawn off of players. while we are at it can i get nodes so i can do my daily gatherer in pvp also? and while we are at it, lets make it like pokemon, and bring in 1 hit ko attacks!

(dear op be prepared for this to be moved but i agree with you, kITtEn skihammur)

mesmers use stealth differently than what thieves use it for. For mesmer its pop in and stay in stealh as long as you can until it wears off. Thieves are opposite, the big attacks are around getting out of stealth and getting revealed. Since i don’t find P/d to be good unless you’re in a 1v1 situation with someone who really doesn’t know the play style, id start with D/P/sb build above. It really shows you the mechanics of how to play thief and understand the class. Thief is more of guerrilla tactics to survive so have fun:D

either you fall and instantly respawn or the death doesn’t give points. I’m sorry but this thread has gone on long enough. remove the kitten map and never bring back push pull to the game again. I’m sick of people trolling thinking they are god mode because i can’t really control my heal skill since i need to redirection myself so i don’t roll off the map. please end my soloq trolling days

Remove skyhammer or not to remove skyhammer. put in your votes now

the past 2 days my first 5 matches have been sky hammer…

Evan Lesh.3295:

There has always been a PvP team working on features! (I know because I’ve been on it forevs)

We live in the real world though, and “too little, too late” is a thing when in a service industry.

You need to whet the appetites and keep people interesting, lest their interest wanes and people come to a point where they move onto something that they know exists. Like changing jobs, if something better comes along without change from the former, they will leave.

“We are totally working on things!” doesn’t do much when it has rarely ever been seen… spvp features are kinda feeling like vaporware…

Screenshots, blog posts, mini videos, etc. all go a long, very long, way.

Tick Tock, 2 years and counting for 1 gamemode from launch and 2 added maps total.

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/structured-pvp-iceberg/ (We have taken steps backwards it seems)

I can’t agree 100% more with this post. I’ve played this game since launch, done wvw for most of the time, got bored then came to pvp. As much time that i’ve spent in here i really would like to see something new already. Conquest is a hard concept for people to grasp and think most matches are just deathmatch(which at this point i can’t blame some with nothing left to work for). But for the ones that like to win, its a real let down. as much as I’d say i’d like to believe you mr. lesh, this is just seeming like another rumor…
