^^ Its also why bunker guards are completly useless. It cant 1v1 , it cant 2v2. It cant even bunker a point because you’ll get decapped by an engi.
Its only good in team fights but these days people just split 1-3-1, so the guard wont be able to rotate and will be useless on every fight that is not 3v3+
The thing is that Mesmer is broken but people dont realise it because thief hard counters them. If thieves didint exist, mesmer would be brokenly OP. I realise it when I’m not playing my thief.
The other day I also tried guardian and bunker seems to be squishier than any celestial build out there. Even full zerk medi guard seems to have more sustain than bunker guard lol.
Mesmers simply do not have much of a chance against a decent warrior if they aren’t running condi pu. .
Not really that’s simply a l2p issue.
I know a lot of good warrs and mesmers and it’s simple as that : If you don’t fight on node shatter mesmer wins over the long term. And I’m not reffering to hotjoin nonames or wvw heroes.
There are a lot of really, really good warriors who all have problems with shatter mesmers in 1v1, allthough they are much more skilled than the mesmer is.
If you fail every pindown and still complain about heal sig … then… well… yes…
then your statement is true… but..
Shatter mesmer beats every class except thief and medi guard in 1v1 assuming equally skilled players.
Its garbage. Its like adding armor to something that has already 0 armor. If you gonna be squishy like that, dont drop your damage unless you go for real sustain in acrobatics. D/P 20066 is much higher sustain than the invigaroting precision D/P 26006.
Except cele classes can facetank thief’s burst. You don’t have that much impact on the match unless their team is squishy. Sure you will get decaps and save about 150 points but you will still lose the game if your team can’t win teamfights or 1v1.
While on a cele engi you can straight up 1v2 people while decapping their far node and giving your team the number advantage.
70% win rate is average for unranked. I know some people with 95% win rates in unranked. And yes is it normal because people are testing new builds and not playing seriously and if you try hard with a meta build you will win at least 70% of your games in unranked.
20 games in a row is obviously your fault . Its impossible to lose that many games in a row unless you are doomed or something. Especially in unranked , usually it will be solo vs solo players which is so easy to carry compared to the premades you see in ranked.
But anyway you’re playing a mesmer, its not a carry class and needs a good team to peel for them or make it work . You won’t win that much on a mesmer. Play something that is semi-tanky , mobile and has a lot of cleave / AoE damage/ CC.
I’m not a troll , im being very serious about what I say. No offense but it is a player skill issue. There’s plenty of good thieves that never die because of that trait . And most complains come from full SA WvW thieves which doesn’t surprise me if they die to this trait.
Once again its an l2p issue. Even if you are revealed you can still survive. Not being invisible doesn’t mean death. Also did you just say you triple dodge while you play? Typycal random dodger QQing about a trait being broken .
I was just wondering how people are gonna buy your expansion if you cant keep basic promises such as matching the players of the same party size. Why do I always have to play against full premades while solo Q’ing?
I can’t speak for everybody obviously but I wouldnt pay more than 5$ for the expansion because all the devs can do is talk but when it comes to actually doing what they promised, they fail miserably.
I dont mind being farmed if im team Q’ing, a loss is a loss I can accept that but when the premade clearly has 99% of chance of winning the game and if the outcome is already decided , why should I even try or keep playing the game at all?
Its either you fix the solo vs premade or give a buff. +1000 to all stats whenever solo Q’ers are against a premade.
No i hate both ele and warrior. They are straight forwards classes without any ’’clutch’’ abilities. What I want is a mix between alot of stuff but its hard to explain.
Getting slowly bored of my main class > thief and really hoping that the revenant is an intresting class with alot of ways to play it. I want a mix between something that is rather tanky and has alot of mobility ( kind of a cele engi but with cool mechanics that come with it instead of just spamming nades.)
The reason im bored is that sometimes I really wanna be the guy that 1v1’s people and holds points instead of +1ing them like thieves do in PvP, thats why I hope the revenant is actually a tanky mobile soldier type class with those special powers or whatever.
If the revenant sucks and thief new ablities also suck, I might take a break from gw2. I at least hope that you will show us some stuff about the new class and specialisations before putting the expansion out.
This thread could go in the PvP section but I think it fits the general a bit more although im purely refering to PvP.
You can copy the .dat on it’s own, which is most of the game files. But you can’t run the game without the .exe.
If you need another copy of the .exe go to My Account at the top of the page below your name, click Download Client, pick the version you want and download it somewhere other than the folder the .dat is in. Install it and when the launcher starts updating just close it down, delete the partially downloaded .dat file and copy over the complete one.
But I can still run the game on my computer without the .exe just by clicking on the gw2 icon. Maybe I renamed it by accident?? Because what you’re saying is that I wont be able to run the game on another computer without .exe but on mine i still can.
I was wondering if its possible to copy the entiere game on a USB key without the gw2.exe file? Because I only have the gw2.dat which is 20GB and some other gw2.dmp confi. Somehow I lost my gw2.exe file and I read on other forums that you need gw2.exe to copy the game or it wont work.
So do I need gw2.exe or I can copy the game with only gw2.dat and gw2.dmp?
I feel like damage is not something that should get nerfed . Its fine to deal an insane amount of damage if you also die fast. They should instead nerf acrobatics and shadow arts into the ground and revert damage and utility nerfs.
Thief should be an assassin, kill fast or die. Not some evade spammer or stealth abuser that does crappy dmg but still kills people overtime.
Did some1 just call engis balanced? This must be a joke right?
Sigil of air and fire are broken but its the only way to kill your OP class along with ele. Otherwise the damage just sucks even when traited and geared full zerk.
It looks like an L2p issue to me. I never used shadow arts so I dont know how it feels like but even then if you die to this trait , you should look into your own gameplay .
its specifically the role of thieves to make sure this game isnt just a bunch of GS Mesmers and LB rangers sniping everyone from the clocktower. that would suck. ty thieves.
True. Delete thieves from the game you will have free casting 1500 range pew pews destroying people even faster than thieves.
Btw celestial tanks have a much higher win rate vs other zerker builds than thief/mes. If anything a zerker build cannot win against celestial unless played extremely well. The proff is D/D cele ele vs S/F fresh air ele. Its a one sided match up , 100% win rate for the /D ele while a thief or a mes could still lose to a S/D fresh air ele .
Its the celestial / bruiser type builds that push everything out of the meta.
thief push every zerker out of the meta, while dd engi push everything else out of the meta.
doesnt matter, after dd engi nerfs, thief will still be pushing zerkers out of the meta.
the hambow meta would have been so different if thief did not just reckt everybody.
In that case they need to buff sub par zerkerss builds to match thief/mes. Although buffing is not the right word. Berserker warrior seems to be a bad idea regardless of thief/mes, their defensive mechanics are not made for being a pure one shot glass.
Thief and mesmer does have the perfect class design to wear a zerker amulet and still be effective even more than using defense stats.

And what about the wins/loses acccumulated before the big PvP patch? Will you merge them with the current games next season?
Do you mean your account aggregates? We are currently planning (afaik) to show only ladder season specific data. So everyone starts at 0/0 at the beginning of a season.
Yea I meant all ranked games accumulated in solo and team Q. Thanks for the clarification.
I think if celestial didint exist, alot of stuff would be viable and not ’’underpowered’’ like people think. Cuz cele has the stats of a bunker and a zerker combined together so it makes other full zerkers and full bunkers builds weaker but that dosent mean they are underpowered.
Bunker/medi guard, shatter mesmer, condi engi and terror necro is still very strong, just not optimal.
I agree , saying that medi guard and shatter mesmer is C tier is dumb. A good mesmer can kill anything 1v1 except thieves and medi guards. And medi guards destroy any class with zerker ammy equipped. I remember in the king of the hill servers people almost banned medi guard from there .
Anyway back in the topic.
S: D/D cele ele , riffle cele engi
A: shoutbow warrior , S/D thief, condi engi
B: everything else
I actually think OE’s record is a ton more respectable than Backpack’s record.
Abjured and frands set to get the best win/loss ratio possible by always queueing premades. Which is fine. Doing so doesn’t really tell the tale of who the best individual players in Ranked though. That’s the major issue with merging solo and team queuers together.
Yea I’ve seen ostrich eggs solo Q’ing a lot and he still wins most of his games without his esport buddies. Very impressive.
Same issue is happening to me as well especially in PvP, I already even posted on PvP and forum and no response. Happens with Hotm loading screen a lot.
Basically, I play the game everything goes fine until suddently it takes me 5 + minutes to load into a new map. Ex: I go out of PvP match and then HoTm loading screen takes 5 min to load. After that my game start lagging like crazy : 1-5 FPS and some textures are missing ( walls and stuff).
Then I restart my PC and reset my connection and everything goes fine until it happens again 1 hour later. Can you guys help me to solve this issue?
I have no virus , already did the scan . And my computer is old and not made for gaming but I’m still able to get 30 ~ FPS ( minimum settings) when this bug is not happening.
I need a solution besides from upgrading my computer because I can’t do it now but only in 1-2 years I"ll buy a new one.
