Guild Wars 2

giving them evades on movement skills could be good, and some new traits.
Or maybe protection and stability when they use burst skills.

they wont do any such tournaments until they implement the basic features, even if that takes forever. Why not is beyond me, probably dont care enough.

we dont want apologies, we want features.

Jackums.3496:

No good Mesmer is going to sacrifice other great traits for any of the above. Condition removal simply doesn’t fit naturally well into Mesmer builds. If anything, we’re going to use Null Field or Arcane Thievery to manage conditions, and even then, our utility skills are so important that most will take the risk and run no cleansing skills/traits.

Being as versatile as we are, I don’t mind our weakness to conditions, but the above suggestions are just weak. No-one playing competitively and trying to optimise their build will run any of those traits. They require you sacrifice more than you gain.

Again you are basicaly complaining about the role of the mesemer, he has the options to take selfish skills and traits at the price of team utilities. U cant have everyting otherwise teams would consist of 4 mesmers and 1 guardian.

We bought this game on the promise they will put some of that money into development, if u cant see by now they clearly kittened us hard and u see the solution in giving them more money than u are pathetic. I wouldnt have a problem spending more money if they had my respect and trust but they never did anything to earn that since release and continously just make it worse.

no ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I never see shout guardians crying that they die 1v1 vs mesmers, rangers, engis,… Its just how it is u cant have everything, u are the only class with portal u have the best teamfight elite u have great aoe burst and are not easy to burst down due to distortion which is a class mechanic so u dont need to waste a utility slot for it and u cry about not being able to also wipe the floor with evry other class in 1v1.

Also mesmer has a build that is one of the strongest 1v1 builds in the game.

the same thing that happened to everything else they talked about, nothing.

In that case we need separated solo queues and premades. Otherwise we will always see premades on the top of the leaderboard. I believe, correct me if Im wrong, that majority of PvPers are not playing in premades and are not using voice-chat and forcing them to would not be correct.

No u dont understand, if ur good enough u can carry your whole team, even tho u have no voice chat and a few rank 0-20 in there that dont have any idea what to do, wont talk to u and frankly dont care if u say anything to them, atleast thats what the devs say.

i dont think its gona be that big of a deal, probably 2% extra dmg per boon. It would be a big game changer only if they make it like 5% extra dmg per boon, but its not like the other profesions can do anything about it, i cant just say ok im fighting a warrior im not gonna apply any boons on myself.

100% agree they should split it, vast majority of pvp players dont give a kitten about pve/wvw and vice versa.

Rastaman.9015:

Guys the leaderboards are being made. Is that not enough? Yeah they said a week and something came up. kitten happens… I’d rather them do it late and right than now and wrong.

Well thats the biggest problem we already know its going to be done wrong, because it cant be right in a current 1 for all que matchmaking system. They have been telling us they rather take longer and do it right but it took them about 6 months to do the matchmaking and i think everyone agrees that it is currently horrible resulting in a bad leaderboard aswell. So in the end not only are they taking forever they are doing it wrong and are refusing to listen to us or communicate with us.

and they say devs dont tro… i mean communicate with us.

I think there is a bug on signet of illusions that gives phantasms +200% health instead of +50% so focusing them is not a good idea because all phantasms are on a relatively short CD, also if he has a phantasmal defender and soldier amulet they become extremely tanky and still crit for about 5k + if traited for have constant retaliation, constant fury and give constant regeneration.

Needs to be reworked, i can do over 15k dmg in a 1v1 with a phantasm mesmer in about 1 minute.

what the kitten

give them a break they are busy with PvE.

nothing breaks dodge, unless theres some bug i dont know. But im 100% sure that focus 4 doesnt.

To anwser the original question, NO. I dont know why u would want that. What would happen is u would just have to fight 1v1 and sooner or later the guy defending the point would get neutralized because neutralizing is faster than cappig.

Oh i thought there were some organized tournaments that i didnt know about, anyway nice idea. Although i didnt know there are actually still any teams that play in EU.

What EU tournaments? am i missing something or what.

its the same with mesmer phantasms, they do 5k crits and have constant retalion, almost no skill needed to play.

I’ve had plenty of games where the whole enemy team had more glory than our team and they lost badly, that’s how kitten the current glory system is.

exactly, also ppl should get no glory when they loose so they might actually start kittening trying instead of zergin from 1 point to the next. But good luck getting any logic into this dev teams brain.

u cannot chill lightning suckers. U are not taking that away from me, nerf the kittening bunker as much as u want but u aint getting rtl.

Also i have said and proved this many times before non shatter mesmer can kill a good (not cleric) ele easily.

thank kitten for that.

Theres nothing wrong with them adding laurels to pvp, we asked them to do it anyways.
And soloque was pure agony even before laurels, there are other ways to solve this problem than to remove laurels.

They cant learn how to play in hotjoin, we would need a seperate ranked and nonranked tournament and remove hotjoin altogether. Maybe custom arena will fix this.

But yea after thats in place i agree with a rank limit on ranked tournaments, i would put atleast rank 20 as a limit if not 30.

That would take more than just a text change so definetly not.

Nilvio.7941:

Thanks Arenanet for finally noticing that spvp is dead

What, didnt u notice they said 1 rounds are growing in popularity, the game is booming.

Ofcourse they realize it, anyway i renamed it and quoted the original thread.

Tyler Bearce.3427:

Our 2-Team Tournaments have been growing in popularity

I needed a good laugh, tnx man.

They should just lock up the whole thing, its pathetic right now.

its ok man, ur the best.
I think u should make a team with SAtaarcoeny, u 2 are perfect for eachother.

That would be fine by me if we had a seperate que for good teams, this way its pure agony playing almost any match.

Show some integrity and move it back plz.

Omg, they are making it really hard for us to like them. Infrcating us and moving threads for no good reason (like the warrior thread,noone reads the warrior forum, that thread should be in here so everyone can follow it), wtf Anet.

Dont tell me they deleted it .

If they wont put it back i will (shame on them).

Rerroll.9083:

After seeing so many threads (many QQing, some agreeing with the patch) in the forums, I knew another survey had to come

This time it has more questions, but you can skip any of the class related questions if you are not familiar with these classes.

I’d like to ask to the participants to be honest and look for the game’s health rather than personal satisfaction. Devs did read the last survey and same thing could happen this time, so be honest with your answers.

• The link to the survey:

• The link to results (dont check them until you have answered please)

As the last time, don’t forget to bump and share your thoughts on this thread.
Let’s gather some data!

Yes i know what the hotjoin opinion on ele was, that doesnt change the fact most teams even back then had an ele in them.

U did nothing for eles, good players never complained about eles being weak. I played ele since BWE1 and i never thought it was weak or unviable. And now u preach to warriors who played this game for 7 months testing diffrent builds to try and find a viable tPvP build that wasnt all about 100b burst when u never actually tested how this would work in tPvP vs a good team.

R E F L H E X.8413:

I don’t know what to tell you, I had people I could have played high end with as I got invited to the guild from being a gw1 player, however I refused to play this spvp because it is not enjoyable, and does not take anywhere near the awareness that gvg takes, period. I could’ve been running this game on the #1 team most likely, but said it’s not worth the effort. Why do something you don’t enjoy just to prove a point? I was boycotting it to prove a larger point.

I dont care why u didnt play this game and saying u could have been in the best team means nothing when u were not, also this isnt gw1 so whatever u did there doesnt make u knowledgeable in gw2. If u dont undestand why u are not in a position to teach ppl how to play when u never played paids against top teams and u quit the game long ago then i dont know what else to tell u. Put what u are preaching into practice and then talk, altho u cant really do that because noone plays this game seriously anymore.

This guy (refhlex) is spreadin wisdom in every thread i open stop teaching ppl how to pvp when u obviously never played any high end pvp in this game.

Now to the point of this thread, i think the change to quickness was actually good, but just like every month no new builds will pop up, nothing has changed in the meta. Weak builds/classes are still weak and strong ones are still strong. They need to pick up the pace and start making more changes becase its very kittening boring the current state of the game.
Also i think whats holding the warrior back is really the PvE, as far as i know warrior is very strong in there and i think this changes were more thought out for PvE than PvP.

I think u guys (the dedicated warriors) should come up with some good ideas of how to improve the current state of warrior, who knows maybe they actually like some ideas and implement them.

Ah the joy of patchday the fact they did nothing to counterbalance this is hilarious, like maybe the boon hate thing they talked about.

I think Karl is doing balance based on class description instead of the actual game.

They buffed the most boring playstyle that shouldnt even exist, all this turrent, minion, spiritsword,phantasm… shouldnt exist ,there’s no skill to it.

Yes, but they need to compensate for it, i expect the boon hate thing to do it but they didnt implement it yet for whatever reason.

they cant even write the correct notes when the patch comes (this happened on the most important one of them all) and u expect them to do it ahead of time. Theres not much to write anyway.

I dont think they said anything about nerfing the damage of mug, i understood it more like its too good to be a 10point trait so they might just promote it to grandmaster. Honestly the only time a thief is a real problem is when they do the combo with haste (macro) and u dont have the time to react to it.
In my opinion they should just make a slight delay between steal and cnd so u can actually avoid cnd, dmg is fine.

they already said there is no big patch.

I think controling nodes in spirit watch is still very important, still the map is unbalanced as they all are to some extent.

Well its a better look to see a heavy armor guardian instead of some tophat thing, and making a new gemstore armor takes alot of work because they have to make it for light/medium/heavy and for diffrent races.
