Edit: OP you said you dont care about the leaderboards but still try hard and swap class just to win the game ? lol
I don’t ‘’try hard’‘… More than 1 thief is just bad . And yes I don’t care about the leaderboards but I care about winning the game.

I’m not sure yet but I think swapping class and winning the game gives no win but it does give a loss if you lose. Is this intended? I switch class when I solo/duo/ trio Q if there’s already a thief just to get a better team comp but it doesn’t count on the leaderboard.
I usually don’t look at the leaderboards because I know its just who plays the most games but I still don’t wanna only accumulate loses because of the bugged system.

You have no way of telling if the other players in that game were in queue for 6 hours or not. (Exaggerating) You were probably the high MMR player that made that matchup ‘balanced’ in the system’s eyes. Having high MMR often puts you against premades to balance having 5 solo players.
I dont have a high MMR and im mostly against premades in ranked. Well i dont know whats my MMR but pre patch I was around r200 on the leadeboard which isint high so I shouldnt be vs premade.

Mesmer and thief are not that hard to be honest. I played engi ( usually thief) for the recent days and its not as faceroll as people think even if you’re celestial. The only faceroll thing about cele engi is the supply crate, without crate it really has a high skillcap.
I cant talk for cele ele but cele engi is definitly not faceroll if you dont crate your 1v1’s.
I play thief and it took me one day to learn how to play cele engi at a “decent” level – that is, just try to survive and let automatic procs kill your opponent.
The playerbase is definitely terrible at this game though.
Depends what you mean ‘’decent level’’. Fighting bad players on engi is easy yea, thats why its the best solo Q carry class. You just spam AoE and noobs die in the cleave but against good players its not easy.
I main thief and so far killing mesmers/warriors/necro/ rangers is easier on thief than it is on engi.

theyre both seriously so easy.
Then.. which class is hard? None? Because mesmer is not hard if its against anything except thief; They can safely stay at 1200 range and do their DPS like a better version of power ranger.
Thief? Thief isint that hard especially acro thief.
In the end every class has some gimmick stuff to be playable there’s no super skillfull build that forces you to dodge perfectly to survive.
Even S/F ele has plenty of invul to carry themselves…

I play at 25 fps and its pretty bad especially if you have a crappy net that comes with it. My 25 fps looks more like 18-20 due to bad connection so it really depends on your net aswell.
15 is definitly not the norm, especially for an average game like guild wars 2, most people would quit if they had 15 fps.
But congratz for being able to play at 1 fps. If I lagg that much I just logg off and wait. The only way I could play at 1 FPS is by playing turret engi.

Can slick shoes engi win vs E-gun engi? Assuming equal skill.

Heh what? Main DPS from a cele D/D ele is lighting whip , doom sigil and drake’s breath which requires 2 dodges to avoid the whole thing.
People dont die to burning speed and chunning earth…. they die to doom sigil and drake breath.
You know what was balanced and didint need any nerf?>> Hambow warr. If you dodge pin down and hammer stuns a hambow cannot kill you.
D/D cele ele will still kill you no matter what you do. Because its gonna out_sustain their openent and slowly kill with burn/poison and 1.5k lightning whip autoattack with 25 stacks of might.
D/D ele is beyond OP . The only thing that stands a chance is a cele engi with crate. Or an S/D thief that will kill it after a couple of hours or days.
I also have a feeling that dodging stuff doesn’t help against a D/D ele, everything they do deals damage compared to other classes where you have to watch for animations.

Steal carries me sometimes. When I play really badly I just press steal and it turns the fight in my favor. Thanks to OP steal.

It worked fine before, even though my PC is old it never did that before. The loading of Hotm screen took maximum 30 secs and I would have normal FPS.
It could be a virus but some people are experiencing the same lagg as I do.
Anyway when you bought a new hard drive it only increased your loading time or also your FPS?? I feel like I need at least 10 more FPS for this game to be playable.
6’4’’ Master Race. I am Above You.
There’s a bug where the HoTM ( Heart of the mists) loading screen takes like 5 minutes after the end of a game and then laggs the entiere game and forces me to reboot my PC or the gw2 client.
Basically everything goes ok during a match I have a normal 25-30 FPS, then match ends, HoTM load screen takes 5 min and then I have around 0-5 FPS for no reason.
And it only happens during/after the Hotm load screen so the problem is with gw2 and not my internet or my PC.
Can you fix this bug pls, its really frustrating.
6’4’’ Master Race. I am Above You.
Although I only had this game for 3 months I think its miserable compared to when I started. Solo Q was decent, not all the time but you would improve as a player because good players would actually solo Q and now they only play with their Esports team.
Team Q is meh. Team Q is basically a farm Q. Farming solo Q’ers and new players as a premade because matchmaking is broken.
Leaderboard is meaningless. Time played matters more than skill.
And cele ammy is really taking the fun out of the game. So hard to kill and deals so much damage. It feels like even a below average player can be succeful playing a cele build.
Anyway the devs said they read the forums right? If they arent dumb they should make some changes if they dont want their super esport game to die.

Lol that passive shoutbow warr build is so kittened. Nerf this kitten into the ground and bring back the old school hambow. There needs to be something to punish these celestial heroes that can face tank the whole hammer chain nowadays.
At least it takes a bit of skill to land the telegraphed hammer attacks on a good player. But this warhorn build is the biggest joke I’ve seen. All passive sustain from shouts and passive dmg from sigils.
Warr is always nerfed into the wrong way to create a next level passive build. Most warriors players don’t like to use this build. It doesn’t even feel like playing warr. A duel warr vs warr is pretty much all decided on sigils swaps. Who ever can random dodge Geo/doom wins. GG
Fix this shoutbow cele kitten already and bring game the old hammer damage. PSA old school hambow would easely counter bad cele engis/ele who are unable to dodge the hammer telegraphs.
I dont play warrior but I agree that fighting a hambow is more fun than the shoutbow sword/warhorn meta spec. A damage buff to hammer would be very good for the game. As you said bad players can die rather quickly to a hammer/longbow warrior if they don’t dodge anything. Maybe people would complain less about celestial engis/eles if a warrior can destroy them in a matter of seconds.

The problem is that solo Q in gw2 is worse than any other game. Because 1 player dosent make much difference. Unless you push far with a tanky build to hold 2 people while your team wins other points.
Also you dont get any satisfaction from losing, You basically play just to win , stand on the node until the match is over.
If you’re playing an FPS game, get 50 kills 5 deaths and lose the game. Even if you lost, you still had alot of fun which is not the case for gw2.
So most players are frustrated with solo Q thats maybe why they deleted this game mode even if it was popular.
There needs to be a middle ground between solo Q and team Q.

Instant Pop
1+1+1+2? vs. 5I can’t wait to see this improve! It will…right?
-_-
It wont, arenanet only caters to those 10-20 people farming real $$ or gems each week. They dont care about solo Q and the proof is skyhammer.

^ I agree with this guy. Zerk warr , zerk engi etc …are just awful builds with sub par damage and survivability. It has nothing to do with thieves even if they counter them 1v1.
Medi guard cannot disengage. That’s why its trash in conquest. Power Necro has mediocre mobility and easely focused unless you are radioactive and use 2 lich.
Most zerk builds are just trash. Thief is just better the way its designed.

Since few days im having huge lagg spikes in PvP, HoTM takes like 3 min to load instead of 10 secs normally. I just dont know what to do anymore beside from stop playing until lagg is fixed.
Is there any way to fix it?
6’4’’ Master Race. I am Above You.
Nothing wrong with going far especially if you can win your 1v1. The only problem is when idiots push into a turret engi, die 1v1 or waste 10 min fighting him instead of letting him afk and make it 4v5 on 2 other points.

Nerfing celestial will just put warriors on settlers and engi on rabid with balth runes which is even more passive than celestial . Ele’s might run staff cleric instead of D/D and auto attack spirit rangers will become viable . My point is there will always be some easy face tanking build that is effective at doing everything.
They should just focus on the balance itself instead of balancing around the difficulty of the meta builds.
6’4’’ Master Race. I am Above You.
Chaith, It’s not about being easy but too strong compared to other builds. Can you explain why cele ammy users can have the tankiness of a bunker and the damage of a zerker? Might as well delete other amulets .

Making thief’s feline grace as basic mechanic would be great too?
6’4’’ Master Race. I am Above You.
Easy is subjective . If you play a build long enough it becomes easy. Find an effective build that you like and play with it. P/D is not even viable in PvP btw.

Its basically one of those ’’bugs’’ that arenanet dosent care about even if its extremly strong like the stow weapon lightning whip.

Arenanet has proved it several times that they dont care about solo Q.

The sad part is that its true for the most part. A casual solo Q player will never come close to top rank like in the previous system.

I don’t play warrior but I think the problem is their telegraphed attacks. No other class has such easy to dodge skills . Without shouts I think warrior class is weaker than others. But shouts are really strong, they need to reduce the healing of shouts and buff warrior damage and reduce cast time on weapon skills.

Caed is one of the best players , I think people don’t target his personal skill but his decisions. In the finals vs abjured he constantly went 1v1 against cele ele/engi and then just died due to unfavorable match up instead helping other fights .
At some point he literally engaged 1v1 with half HP against a cele engi on point. Most people in the chat room were wondering wtf is he doing.
6’4’’ Master Race. I am Above You.
I think its because of AoE damage that melee looks weak. In gw1 for exemple there was not much AoE damage besides from staff elementalist so both melee and ranged was stong . In this game everything has AoE cleave which either forces you to be ranged DPS or have enough sustain to survive in melee.
Also D/P thief counters most pure melee specs. The blind uptime is impossible to counter without AoE damage , ranged options or AI.

Okay. Remove Feline Grace.
Give 3 seconds Protection Boon upon dodge roll.
That’s against the class mechanic of a thief. You’re not supposed to facetank attacks with protection but avoid them with stealth or dodge.

Sorry the game cannot be balanced around scrubs. And stop running with no armor and no amulet so u dont get backstabbed for 16k.
6’4’’ Master Race. I am Above You.
I cannot WAIT to see teams slowly kill each other using the attrition amulet known as celestial.
Everyone reading this post, close your eyes and imagine a streamed tournament where celestial was NOT allowed, now wouldn’t it be interesting to see a team other than abjured/absurd potentially win? It would also be pretty interesting to watch if people actually died occasionally.Skip to 45min in on this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNZCZHDYurE to catch a glimpse of what I mean.
You are right bird of fire it was much more fun to watch bad players Insta kill other bad players with an auto attack on their elite form I wish all competitive player versus player action looked this good
I think thats the problem, everything is considered cheese in this game. Celestial cheese because too much of everything, zerker cheese because of insta kill and condi is cheese because of condi spam.

No offense but you shouldnt be wasting your skills on a acro thief or anything with perma vigor.
Yes you can random dodge alot with acro but its also your fault for not landing your skills at the right time.
Its like saying D/P has too much blind when in reality its the person that fights the D/P thief that dosent use his skills correctly.

Can I have your $$$$$?
6’4’’ Master Race. I am Above You.
I think its possible to carry low ranked MMR games on a thief. Because new players usually chase the thief instead of holding points so u can just sit in stealth forever while 3 noobs chase you and your team wins the 2 other points.
Winning 1v2 does nothing anyway because if your team is always dead there’s some1 on respawn and its 3v3 instead of 4v3 like its supposed to be.

If population is the problem then make the spvp side of the game free.
This. This would be pretty amazing. Talk about opening up the pop.
People would still not play gw2 PvP even if it was free. I doubt its the right solution. Only trolls and hackers would be interested if it was free just to kitten off the playbase.

Can you guys write a script to change matchmaking variables at set intervals based on number of players queuing or something?
It isn’t just a matter of how many players are queuing, it’s how many are queuing within your skill range.
Just bring back the old match making system. Is it that hard? The new system is obviously not gonna work if there’s like only 1k players that actively play spvp.
So glad people like you aren’t in charge of running this game, lol.
If you want great things in a game, you have to be willing to try things that aren’t easy and stick with them until they work.
Yes sure, a multi- million $ company will try new things just for fun and see if their playerbase likes it or not. Are you kittened, they shouldnt fix stuff that isint broken just for fun .

They kinda killed PvP to be honest with this up date. They killed 1v1 king of the hill servers ( can’t go there while in a Q). They killed solo Q cuz matched against premades and they also nuked team Q cuz you’re forced to play trash maps like courtyard and skyhammer if an idiot chooses that map on the other team. And they kittened up the matchmaking system.
Watch out anet if a good PvP game comes out nobody will play your kitten anymore. Its even hard to log in for more than 2 consecutive hours nowadays. This game is starting to suck hard.
