Who cares, just kill them.

This is like when the karma trainers in eotm complained and cried about duelers killing karma training upscales in eotm. The duelers aregument was that “this is a pvp area hurr durr go pve blah blah”

Same applies here, its a pvp area and you can and should kill everyone with a red nametag.

Thing is if you kill duelers with zerg they get angry and start harassing ur zerg and ur own server duellers will start messing with ur defense activations also giving info to other team and all that stuff what you love , its just better leave duellers alone makes ur life easyer

Yes sir. If I am dueling someone and my servers zerg blobs down my fight – you better bet I will start following that zerg and dropping troll food on them every time they stop and troll trebs on every supply depot when they cap stuff. I am that guy, will always be that guy. You mess with how I want to play, I’ll mess with how you want to play.

Moral of the story is to treat others the way you want to be treated. If you want people to mess with your game play, go ahead and mess with theirs.

But you are messing with how others want to play by dueling and not helping people cap points or fight the blob. So dont be mad when a blob runs your dule over.

Morozzko.2136:

WvWvW isn’t duel zone, it is warground, all around cry pls dont kill me, pls dont kill my oponent, pls go aways we have a duel, no one help u in combat coz they think it is duel. Stop it guys pls, and dear Anet, pls make a duel zone (not guild arena) in pve world, that all over the tyria can enter and use comand /duel or use buff from npc to make dialog with another player and duel him

there already is a dule zone called Obsidian Sanctum. Why they dont’t use it no one knows.

have they fixed the ascended sword bug that has normal stats or do they only do nerfs?

FogLeg.9354:

Duelers can duel if they want. Anyone else can interrupt their duels and kill them if they want.

Pretty simple.

if the rev is not using shiro/glint thief will win 100% of the time.

you need glint reveal to uncloak the thief and shiro phase shift to stay on their tail.

and you need hammer to keep the pressure on them as they like to create a distance from you to heal and recover from cool downs

a pro thief vs a pro rev, thief is most likley going to win as they can control the fight with stealth. e.g they will always make the 1st strike not you.

start with glint to stack boons, then if they try to run away or i need to escape use shrio

If you play zerky take hammer, but if you want to use staff you have to tank up as you will be taking a lot of damage due to being face to face all the time.

shrio is better for hammer as you will need to be mobile not tanky.

I had fun on the db with the new changes. The spawn point change to the towers made a huge improvement.

There was a queue on every map at prime time which normally never happens. + the large map allows roaming which i did a lot of yesterday.

yes, db is fun now

Kanebrake.6192:

Who spent just a “few minutes in queue”?

Regardless queues of 50+ on all the bls and over 150 on eb combined with the later reset times is an issue. I waited for 2.5 hours and went from 146 down to 99ish before having to log out. Yes, queues are normal but not that large that late.

Then go play EOTM while you wait, i rather there is a queue then to log on and there is no one to play with.

go play EOTM while you wait.

I rather there is a 30 man queue on every map than to long in and everywhere is empty.

I got help ingame, was told tp is slow today and to wait.

I put a to buy order on the trade post which lagged, my to buy order is gone and so is the gold, and i did not get any item

There are 10 of us as i type this that are stuck in a pvp match loop.

the match ended and when we try to leave a ‘beta sprit watch’ loding screen appears after the heart of the mist loading screen and takes us back into the pvp match.

I have found Jalis REALLY useful in zerg WvW fights (i run jalis/herald in zerg, and herald/shrio in roam).

I play my rev as a mele (3.9k armor) staff+ sword/shild so the extra tank from jalis is really helpful.

e.g his heal can remove 3 condi, and if you use the right skill trait in retribution then his elite skill will also reduce condi damage by 50%.

then there is the skill that gives stability (Inspiring Reinforcement) which lets me stack up 6 stacks of stability for 10 seconds (i have 100% boon duration). also if a DH use one of them kittening traps on me or my allies, I can lay it down and walk out of the trap.

also Forced Engagement has 1200 range, so any aggressive ele that trys to get to close I will target them with it.

I really like the team play of jalis which shrio does not really have.

only thing i dont like is that his skills uses so much energy.

So what are you suggesting?

Do you really think getting rid of EOTM is going to make people play WvW?

WvW were guilds self proclaim the yellow tag as a guild only tag and wont let others follow them even though it is supposed to be a server vs server and you should all be working together. Commanders with video game pride that wont use siege or dragon banners to fight so that they can post their kitten on forums how they beat x commander with no siege, commanders/players kittening how you suck or demanding you play a certain class or have the ‘meta gear/skills’, elitist on ts that laugh just because a warrior is using the wrong skill or someone is playing an archer (before HOT expanson).

WvW has a toxic player base, getting rid of EOTM wont make people come play WvW it will just stop people playing altogther.

This is such and easy answer i can’t believe it needs explaining.

people want to fight OTHER people with the builds they have spent months making.
The desert is so big you hardly see anyone to fight and when you do they are behind a pve wall or a pve siege defence(that ship bombardment is kittening ridiculous, kitten whoever thought that was a good idea) or a pve shrine or a pve op lord or a pve event(which is gone now). people come to wvw to pvp NOT pve.

dont understand how you can not understand your own game.

Lady Sapphirah.6234:

Ok I’ll spell it out…. The thing is, the morons, as u say, like me… who have been loyal to REAL wvw since release who want eotm gone are the ones who played REAL wvw before eotm existed and they know what REAL wvw was like back then. They know eotm started the problems that killed wvw and along with all of the other problems in wvw, eotm is still killing wvw. Eotm killed wvw because ppl went to eotm and stopped going to REAL wvw as they found they could pretty much run around in circles without having to fight others. They could farm loot from Lords and level their noob toons quickly and do it easy. Thats it… simple, ppl are generally lazy, like it easy… soooo running around in circles fighting nobody is much easier than going to REAL wvw. Because of this they nvr really came back. Its not that complicated. If they got rid of eotm some of these eotm ppl might actually decide to try REAL wvw, find they enjoy it and stay. This moron wants eotm gone.

If a casual player brought an upscale to “real WvW” they would be lynched by “real wvw players”

eotm needs to stay, as it lets people who are not TRY HARDS have FUN which is the whole point of the game. When i come home from work I just want to play my build in pvp stress free.

Any time I go to WvW it’s the same tune
1: commander shouting on team chat that you are playing crap (and then you wonder why no one uses ts)
2: Mr grumpy, kittening about the good old days of wvw and how their server has gone down hill
4. commander crying on team chat that he does not have enough of x players and wants you to play x class

eotm allows new players to experience casual WvW and if they like it they can try “real WvW” (like a gate way drug)

But honestly the attitude of some try hards i’m surprised WvW has not died sooner.

great build man, i swaped to your runes +food now i have stab again like i did before the nurf. 10s of stab from one roll.

1. Stop night capping

2. bring back old maps (sorry i did my best to give the new maps a try but there is too much running and lack of fighting, when you come home from work you want test your build vs other players not vs npc or sige. the new maps= run for 10mins> pve shrine>pvecamps>pve tower>pve over powerd tower boss> run 10 mins all the way south to pve cap the 2 towers at the bottom >pve cap far south camp(more running) then back to pve cap shrines because some lone wolf loser took it, rinse repeat.

3. increase score for player kill

4 return to the original friday night reset

5. better rewards.

Frank.3791:

With the poor condi removal rev has, nerfing it will probably kill the class. Ik if they nerf it, im not playing it anymore lol. The class depends on the support of its teammates to keep it alive so it doesnt drown in condis. Forget 1v1ing a condi mes, reaper you have a bit of a chance of killing one. With only a staff skill to remove condis with a long cd, u have to be good at dodging or ur dead within second.

Ues sigil of generosity

and if you play wvw also use Sigil of Cleansing

+ use skill trait invocation that removes one condi.

I joke about my build being a diamond herald because i never have any condi on me.

It’s free advertisement of your game.

I have see this exact same qq post on a different game i used to play.

Im getting this too. the pingspike is so bad i am being d/c when switching maps

no they are not, they are only good for ganking 2v1 now. If you go up againts a necro alone you are going to get boon kittened

This system we have now is more skill based system so for the first week i believe the matches are gonna be kinda unbalanced. You can always try to become a better player tho.

me being a better player is not going to make my team better,
They are dropping in 1 v1 fights in under 10 seconds,

I am always in the top 3 of my team if i play to win and i am sick of it. why cant i have a team that carries me for once.

So basically the fact that you still care about the rank points shows that you’re not really an experienced pvp players.

That rank point literally means nothing.
If a good player bunk a node 1 v 2 for a long time, he’d definitely not get many rank points, but he’s actually “carrying” your team to the maximum, and probably the best player in your team, yet not reflecting on his rank points.

I know this,

But If a player is getting killed in under 10 seconds in a one v one is he helping? If a player is not fighting on cap points is he helping? Why do people think points are irrelevant?

Im the one taking the the capture points in a 1v1, i am the one bunker holding the points 1 vs 2 long enough for a team mates to come and get the kills, i am the one killing the the 25 point beast both on my side and enemy side. i am the one that can last a whole round with no deaths therefore im on the battle field contributing more and thus getting more points, I am the one that is involved in every crucial mid cap defence picking up points from kills, and not running of to far to cap only to die and lose the cap a second later.

so yes points are a good indicator of how well you are doing, not 100% but its the best we have.

same, my win loss was 50% overall.

Today i have won 2 games and loss 18.

wont be playing rank pvp ever again. I have said that before but this time i mean it.

edit: I will give it another go today, maybe i can get 18 wins in a row

i also use sigil of cleansing in addition to generosity. legend swap counts as a weapon swap too, so when i do a legend swap i remove 2 condi with the cleansing channel.

You need to stop using mouse to click spells, keybind them to your keyboard

my gaming mouse only has to extra bottons which I use for the repetitive 1 and 2 skills.

start of by key binding as many skills as you can, I use; Q,E,Z,X,C,R left Ctrl and shift.

It will take time to get use to pressing the right key, at first i had to look at the key board to see were my finger was then I was hitting the wrong keys or forgetting which did what, but over time muscle memory takes over and you can strig moves a lot faster than if you used mouse alone. (and how fast you can use your skills is important in this game)

I would also suggets going super super tanky, it is more important to be alive and hit 1 damage than a build that can hit high dps but dies in 2 seconds.

once you get better with the class you can opt for more dps and less defence.

and yes play a lot of pvp, WVW has no match making so in it you could be fighting very high skilled players

pvp has a match making system that will pit you vs players at your skill level, you can also change stats to find the one you like and use that in wvw.

I just had a match with an enemy team that had 2 diamond team players that teamed up with low rank players,

2 diamonds and most likely the ‘low rank’ players are diamond skilled players too from the way they were playing.

so thats me done with rank pvp for good.

I wonderd why the queue was so long from the last time i raged quit(three team mates ran to our treb at start of match instead of trying to get mid) like a week ago from rank pvp and now i see why, cause people have had enough of this mess.

It has turned into a right kitten fest, ranks mean nothing now, you can be a new player and be put up againts a legendary.

sounds like a salty thief can’t get their cheap gank kills anymore

Morwath.9817:

…because of exploiters playing in it.

Edit: Removed “NA” from title, both EU & NA deserve same threatment, even if one has less exploiters… it sill has exploiters.

what exploit did they ues?

Jourdelune.7456:

Viper Revenant + Viper Revenant.

They have something when they burst together that two shots any bunker around.

(remove all boons + shinro heals + sword 3 at the same time??? with one cc while the other burst, and reverse)

This is the only right answer, you can lock this thread now.

a week after the release of HOT:
rev is under powered/mallyx is a useless trait/rev gets cc too much buff rev buff rev buff rev

a few months in now rev is over powered and needs a nerf, and mallyx rev is meta in pvp, lol im so glad devs dont make buff/nerf decisions based on forum post.

This is my build current.

in pvp or pve i switch enhanced bulwark to elder’s force

I am happy with my damage out put so far and plan to increase it first by getting more ascended gear, i have no infusions added yet to my gear.

No class can beat me 1v1 in a ranger battle with my glint(health/fury/swiftness)+hammer. i have a passive heal of 260 that mean every 4 seconds i recover 1k health, with hammer 4 i can block attacks and leech more health.

so i poke at your health while mine is constantly full this leads the battle to 2 outcomes;

You try to run a way and i chase you down with phase traversal and kill you or you try to fight a tank at close range where i will cc spam you with hammer 5, chaotic release, jade wind and at the same time rotate my heals.

every build has a weakness that is what makes this game fun. mine is lack of conditions removal.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vlAQNAseinvN2gS6JvQRZlbosryPUYV5IKYs8EllZlhNma2RNgDewe6r/G-T1SIwAzUiJXJIgzAAH1dKq8A8hAIvKBN0DQ4BA0VTQl9HEEAuA-w

i have made a change on my sigils,
i came to the conclusion that it is better to remove a 30s stack of bleed that is doing 1000 damage per second than it is to heal 500 hp .

been using the purity sigils in pvp too and am doing a lot betters in 1v1 fights vs condi necros/rev.

This is my build current.

I get this too. So i wait till i see the exp come up before moving. It is still faster than normal stomp.

also they can make it that if you are up againts a team with an average division ratio which is 2 division above your teams average division ration than you dont lose a point if you lose the match.

nuff said, this is my build, it crushes in PvP, WvWvW, and all the PvE content I have tried (Raid excluded until this Saturday)

when you say "crushes in “WvWvW” are you talking about one on one matches? cause without hammer you lack range + no shiro means you can be cc to death.

but every build has a weakness mine too. thats what makes ths game fun

So I am a new player and started playing this game when it became free, i liked it so much that at level 30 i bought the game, but now my realisation is i liked pvp and pve not WvW and this makes me sad because WvW was the primary intention i bought the game.

So here are my reasons why i have stopped playing WvW. I wont go into explantion for all as most are self explanatory.

1. lag, skill lag, fps drop:

2. exclusions from fights from other guilds; I thought WvW was a server vs server battle. so why do some guilds feel they have a right to tell people who they can and can not fight? (due to schedule guild vs guild battles)it just breaks the immersion when you are going round fighting and cap bases when people are using map chat to tell you “dont attack this guild as they are fighting that guild” i should not have to tip toe across the battle field, also the fact that there are a group of players taking no part in the WvW battle makes it pointless. there needs to be a separate server where guilds can have schedued battles.

3. one on one pvp in WvW; again same problem with number 2. i see two people fghting and the 1st thing that comes to my mind is , “are they in a dule?” should i help or not?" why am i thinking like this in a wvw map? again there needs to be a pvp server where people can have one on one dules with there gear.

4. mass blob, common denominator; i feel people blob up because the bases are to hard to take in small groups, this casue the fights to become monotonous where the most useful skill is the only one used. if bases were eaiser to take people would not feel the need to blob up and fights could be more spread across the map. (could this explain why people one on one pvp in this map? so they can actually use their class to the full?

5, poor rewards playing wvw;

I will be in pvp pve for now.

This is my tanky wvw build

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vlAQRAsX8unXNuNSqJ7JRBlZlsfyrS4QZVJYrcsklZlhNma2RNgDewe6q/G-TFiEABCpM7hTCApKBXR9HqUaAgZODeCAks/AA-w

I don’t have time to do a write up but in short the goal is to keep your stability up when you are fighting as there is no point having high health/defence if you get cc. my runes and sigils are still being tested

basically you get stability every time you roll, you need endurance to roll you can get endurance from shrio’s riposting shadow and skill tree vigorous persistance and enduring recovery. with facet of nature active you can get 8 seconds of stabilty with one roll, (warning FON has an up keep of 2 the max up keep you can have is10, that means you cant use impossible odds so if you want to run away from combat make sure to deactivate FON)

I use shield for the extra 2 heals, because they nerfed phase travle i use an axe to close the gap with axe 4, but axe 5 is a good cc skill.

the rest is self explanatory
