I miss HA too. Honestly the best PvP-type ever invented, any where. I was heartbroken to see it go.

Just give us the old Gw1 pvp back and we are all happy

S H A K U R AS.9536:

Its all about business…

They dont care what do u want, thats the sad true. They for sure not create real pvp before first expand. Why? Because PvP is not generate income. No $, no reason to do it. The target for pve pple is WvsWvsW not tPvP. Sec thing is pple faster quit than buy stupid tickets… But its better for anet, less pple on pvp = less costs.

They basicy didnt need even create real pvp for gw2, because it was sure that 90% of gw1 pvp pple, gonna buy box to see gw2 so they concentrate on other pple. They dissapoint us but who care? They got $ from pvp, now we have to wait. I hope with first expand we will get finally real pvp, because they have to give us reason to buy it(more $). First pvp pple not gonna buy it only for name(I did it), now they have to create sth to give reason to give them again $… That is our the last hope.

If somebody not agree with me, tell me one update when could we see it that they really care.

I know that this pvp maybe its fun for some pple, but why we can not see new modes for other people, I think games without capture the point, with main reason kill the lord, with only buffs from flags/shrines should be rly more fun than stupid get 500 points and win. Next map will be the same like all old, capture points and thats all. For me capture the points shouldnt be even the secondary objective, its should be kick out from real pvp, like the worst idea of GW2!

bumb

waiting for an a-net statement , i mean they always say " yeah we read the forums " , so they should actually see what is happning in pvp ..

just sad -.-

bump for an a-net statement

Just put Gvg and ha with the same maps into gw2 , give everyone 10x life and gg..
95% of my pvp friends from gw1 are already quitted and soon the game it total dead ..Gw2 Pvp RIP 2013

U cant blame the 3 people working on PvP compared to the 100´s of The Pve Section

Its so sad that the game is dead and even worse is that Anet isnt posting a thread where they “explain” or talk about their opinion .

I Will again install and play Gw2 if they actually add ha or gvg .. I mean gw1 pvp was such a great pvp and they kind of ruined it in gw2 .. call me if they fixed pvp in gw2 but this probally wont happen in gw2 maybe in gw3 .. I would like to hear an official statement about the whole theme because its not new .. Everyone said Gw1 pvp > GW2 pvp maybe some few people like this new mode more but i would bet that the mists are allrdy dead.

Well I like more PVP then PVE SO PLEASE REMOVE the achriments for PVE ..

its the same ! -.-

Hey guys I hope everyone enjoy´s the wintersday update .

I want to know how u feel about the Snowball Mayhem if u have tried it by now .

I feel actually like I play random pvp in gw2 , you join a batlle , u run down to the presents and everyone is just hitting their buttons in a 8 vs 8 or more . I like the game style, its cool that we can choose between 3 different “soldiers” and its cool that every single profession got their own utility (skill 6 – ingi for example “build a turrent” ) But i Wish their where some REAL tournaments .. 16 persons on this little map is a but to much because u can only run 1 way up to your station so most of the time u just fight in an epic zerg fest . plus that the classes arent that balanced in my opnion .

So if tournaments is to hard to code , at least it would be great if u could play it together with your friends so that u dont need to try to sync…
Same for keg brawl ..

Everyone else miss the old tournaments from gw1 ? or is it just me ?

gogoapoxy.1425:

Agreed that if this is half as good as keg brawl that it will be awesome.
(

well their will be a snowball arena I just hope that there will be tournaments , like in gw1 . Every 6 hour was perfect . So many people played the tournamets everyone was exited about in witch bracket u will get into and everyone enjoyed the tournament mode and your guild earned “fame” if they was good at it , so people in tyria could recognize you

It seems like people few people enjoyed it in gw1..

Hey guys , Tixx is coming soon and I hope everyone send their wish-list to him but sadly I forgot mine ……….

So dear Tixx , I wish me that we are able to play inside the snowball arena as in the past in guild wars 1. Remember how fast you could run the gifts to Dwayna or Grenth ? Sometimes you had a interrupt on your skillbar and other times you could protect allies . . I am sure that it will be harder for you to run away or aim any snowballs but i believe we would have the same amount of fun . Everyone around u felt safe and had a good time but it wasn´t only because of you , the arena was fun for everyone , even for the ugly grinch and his friends.

Guilds could join Tournaments where they fought about candy and other prices like the key to your heart or to the Zaishen . Every 3 hours people from the whole world came to this event and had a great time I hope you didnt miss that memori.. Because what would be if Anet they just planted an arena and no tournaments? ..I cant imagine how awful this would be , this would destroy my dreams and my christmas.

So Tixx ,Sorry i am late , but dont forget about me !

Someone else feels like me ? :/

So my stream is again online in about a min.

Today we try to do Level 31 and maybe 32 if we work good together. Random team setup –
2 thiefs , 1 guard , 1 enig and a mesmer .

first thief 15 resist ( miserere)
second thief 15 resist (elona)
guard 20 (snip)
engi 5 (kobi)
mesmer 15 (star)

If u got any questions or suggestions are u welcome to wisp me ingame or leave me a comment here .

Hey guys , I just started my stream , we are atm @ level 30 as , engi ,double guard , double thief http://www.own3d.tv/live/155250

Well thx for the info , I am to sleepy so I go to bed and tell tomorrow if its online ^^

Hey guys i am an ingenieur and I play alot of fractals so here is my stream if u wanna watch lvl 26 higher – http://www.own3d.tv/KobiQQ/live/155250

Ashanae.9362:

1.No
@Kobi tell me how to dodge Jade Maw agony scream and i will be fine…

kobi.5236:

U can dodge nearly every agony debuff !..

The jade Maw boss is the ONLY one u cant dogde , I said nearly so yes this one is the only u cant avoid but if you try to heal each other or for example u use different skill for this fight . the ingeniur use the rezz bomb for people who dies rly fast , mesmer can cast his illusion where he gets a life again , ele got a signet for rezz , necro aswell , warrior a banner , so just try to change a skill before u start this fight and u and your group will be fine .. Of course if everyone got 0 resist will it be impossible but if at least 1 got some few resist then u can do the dungeon easy.

And every other agony attack is able to be dodged , someone are more difficult then others but If u are good enough u will have no problems .
So please dont try to complain before u never tried some different tactics or tried to Watch the bosses animation.

other questions ?

Whine Whine Whine ! ..
Guys why do u need the rings ? You can easy go further into the dungeon without any Agony resist . I know it feels kitten that u all got no rings and maybe its not fair , but this is life ! We arent liveing on a poneyfarm !

I am on level 26 and still I got zero rings from my daily !. U can dodge nearly every agony debuff !.. Just get skill and stop complaining !

I bet I will finish level 30 maybe today Even without agony so stop whine and play better .

( and just a notice I play with green amulets and rings and until level 22 I played with yellow / green / exotic armor on MF )

Serious guys DON´T Start to complain . You aren´t the only one who aren´t getting a ring out of the chest ! .. I am Level 26 and I run still zero Resist , I only die @ the 4th map final boss , you can dodge every other attack so u can avoid agony . Its only a fact of skill .

Maybe my account is bugged ! But well after more then 150+ fractal runs I still got no ring while other people @ the same amount of dungeon runs got 2 – 4 rings.

I bet I will run level 30+ even without agony

do i need to be in a full group with people who have unlocked level 2 for it to be an option?
-
yes , the whole group needs the same lvl

ing: kobi is a noname

frac 13or 14 are fine aswell

simplesimon.2084:

Why should we have to use a third party site to form groups. The social panel should have the option to post groups in it. The person starting the group can list what dungeon or event want to do and others could click to join it and then the leader can pick if he wants that person to join or not.

+1 ! I wont use Any third site ! I Just use Offizial trusted sites because thats the new filosofie.

Azjenco.9425:

So, to find a dungeon group, you need to go to a website outside the game? If you’re looking for a dungeon you should basically go look elsewhere…

You know, this wouldn’t even be a problem if the game actually had a decent LFG system worked into it, and don’t tell me there is an LFG window. That piece of crap is useless. Even GW1 has a better group tool, and that game requires it a lot less than this one. What are the developers thinking by not including this into the game?

There isn’t even a tool in the works at this moment. So, you better buckle up, because you’ll be seeing LFG/LFM for a long time to come.

And aswell +1 .. Its just ridiculous that we are getting forced to use any kind of third sites or programs to find people to play with ! .. Sorry Robert but it is like this !

Well many people simply know the game mode Deathmatch.

Why isn´t deathmatch viable in gw2 ? Because of the new trinity?
If u would add now the deathmatch mode to the game it wouldn´t be balanced at all , damage dealers > supports for example. But here is my idea:

U got a map about the map size from old ha maps, No capture , No Base u need to rush just kill the other team !
Every players has 10 or 15 times more life then they are used to have.
The damage people takes in Downstate are decreased by 50%
Support skills are 200% more effective.
Time size about 6 or 8 ( I think if the team size is about 8 , the life must be a bit higher)

That is my first thought so what could happen ?
So just let us do some math – People would have around 180k to 200k life (just an example) And support skills from the ele would maybe heal around (2-4k normal so now about 6-12k.

So lets see : We got a bala team vs a spike :

Balanced team
War (100blades)
Thief (Condition or backstab)
Mesmer ( Shatter )
Ingi ( CC )
2 ele (1 hybrid 1 sup)
Necro ( Sup)
Guard ( Sup )

VS

8 Ele ( 3 glass-canons – 2 hybrids – 3 sup )

What do u expect to be happen ?
That´s how I could imagine it :

TEAM BALA :
The group is at start all at their range weapons and are setting to pressure the group while beside, they try to find targets with are more vulnerable then others .

Meanwhile in Team SPIKE

The “backline” is supporting the targets witch gets pressured and are laughing about the damage because they can handle the damage.
The caller calls a spike on the thief , 6 ele try to spike him on fire dmg ( The thief was quick and used his break stun) nothing happen except some dmg on the group because they balled)

Team bala :
The guard , ele and necro tries to support their thief so that he gets life req and some life – he is fine)
The Team found ele 4 to be a good target , so they prepare a spike ( Ultimate from mesmer(moa) – Thief and War are switching on melee – ele on fire element and they call a spike)
The Ele number 4 is lucky that he could dogde the moa but he got still hit by the incoming war and thief and got a lot of dmg but he use mist form to escape .

Team Spike :
Ele number 4 need to take a bit more care so he is hidding behind his m8 while he tries to heal him up by his one and his group :
Next spike is calling , this time a necro : They all hit the Necro at the same time and he lost more then 50% of his life , the necro use F1 so he can survive a bit longer – the caller is still on him and all ele are pressureing him so he drops another 25%.

To be continued if u maybe think this is usefull and not total useless !:)
Sorry about my bad english !:(

Man they cant fix the queues , too many players got disapointed

Gilgamesh.2561:

There are professions with horribly broken traits that have been broken since beta weekend event 1. They need a massive profession bug fix patch that’s like 5 times the size of their previous ones.

This is sooo true ! .. Sometimes i feel like , 1 person is working on pvp and 49 on pve .. The size from Pve content compared to the PvP “content”/ balance is just ridiculous.

samo.1054:

Both very well written posts, I back them up totally. I have also bought GW2 mainly for sPvP, since I’m an old GW1 player and have always held huge respect for what Anet did with pvp for MMORPGs there. So on that basis my sPvP expectations were high for GW2, especially since they were talking about making it an e-sport and whatnot.

So when the game finally came out I was shocked to see how much time they put in PvE content and how so so little into spvp content. Literally it must have been like 1000:1. All they did when it comes to spvp is add the 4 maps. Everything else was done through making the pve content (utility skills, weapon skills, traits, the balance…). A huge disapointment.

I often feel like the existing spvp content in the game, that we have so far was made from something like:

A: “Oh hey guys, we really have to give them some sPvP too, you know… Remember? We promised….”
B: “Oh hell OK, make a few conquest maps, that should get them busy for a while I guess…”

So yeah… The sPvP content we have so far is next to 0, and I really hope Anet starts working on it as fast as they can. I hope that for their sake and also because I really want to continue playing the game, which I simply can’t see myself doing for much longer if the content stays this way…

100% sign .. In the beta i thought okay they are maybe not showing every PvP aspect but well it was the WHOLE content..-.-
Gw1 had such a great pvp section and so many people got frustrated when they played gw2 pvp compared to the old and fresh gw1 where u got a Ghostly out of the hall ! ! !!

I personally dont like this kind of minigame and probally many people who played gw1 agree to this opinion. Gw1 delivered to every "big event " like halloween a Great Mini-game. These minigames was fun because u needed skill , got rewarded if u where good and u could get a really nice title . This was much more fun then this custom brawl where people with a Custom just spam " 3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3" .

I hope that anet got a real minigame witch will come in a later act but i may be disapointed .. If u see around how many custom brawls where in the start of halloween and u compare it to now u see a big different . there arent anylonger so many brawls so maybe more people feel the same way even if they dont complain about it

Fixed a bug that caused frequent PvP crashes. This was the final known bug preventing the activation of paid tournaments. (We will again take a night to make sure these are stable to ensure that the player experience when spending gems on tournaments is as good as it can be. Barring unforeseen issues, we will enable paid tournaments tomorrow morning when we are in the office to support their launch.) (this is queted from your update list)

This post got posted before midnight (23:xx) in America , so can we expect the Patch in some hours ? Or do we need to the 25th of october ?

u read the post ?? its like story mode, explore mode AND a thrid mode …-.-

Massacrul.2016:

I’m casual player (cause in no way im a hardcore o.o) and i don’t find dungeons as hard as people whine on forum about them.

As Anet said – it was never meant to be doable by everyone. It need some tactics, team composition and coordination… Don’t tell me that you expect a dungeon where you can simply go, kill everything brainlessly and complete it. That should not be this way, and this is really bad way.

At moment I feel like this :if u are able to play your class and u take 4 random people witch are aswell able to play their class then u can go random in the explore mode and just finikitten quiet easy , thats my feeling . Okay some parts was maybe really tuff like the endboss in the flamecitadel part 1 but else i doesnt feel like they are really hard.

DKP.4196:

I have to vote no to your idea. All I see coming out of this is, most players would just ignore the HC Explo and farm away at the easier one which gives 30 Tokens.

If the easier dungeon only gave 10, and the HC 60 then sure. Then there is an incentive here for players to bother with the harder explo. Or perhaps 10 tokens, 60 tokens as I mentioned plus a chance of getting a speicific loot set only in the HC dungeon but not in the easier.

It was just an example ! ofc it needs balacing but i rather discuss the whole idea then the rewards now !

Lucas , i never played wow . I only played gw so dont tell me this bull kitten . if u would read my post u would read i wasnt deleting the explore mode , if u feel like the explore mode is challing for u , u just can farm it . where is your problem ? but many teams doesnt feel that the dungeons are difficult at all so they master it really fast and are getting punished for that . its like u would punish people in gw1 if they farmed uw or goa.

instead of saying its not good come with your argument why it isnt and maybe response how create such a system

Dogblaster.6713:

You know what separates HC and Casual players? The gear they have If casual would have same gear for running something easyer than me I would be just mad and leave the game. Where is the prestigue of having the gear from hard dungeons?

The Problem is , everyone can farm the explore mode , its not a challange to master it, u create a random group and u just do the dungeon its not hard at all . But people who are in team speak , made thoughts on the dungeon and finish the dungeon really fast are getting punished because of the new system.

Hey guys , first I want to point out that many of the dungeons are fun to play . First time u join the dungeon in the explorer mode its maybe hard to finikitten but if you know the dungeon is it getting easier every time u play it. Your team is creating special tactics for every room and so on your time to finish the dungeon will be shorter.
With the new system a-net really punish this , u punish people who made thoughts on the dungeon how they can pass it faster, so here comes my new idea.

Its easy to implement a new mode , just call it the “dungeon master mode or hardcore mode or whatever” , this mode is even harder then the explore mode . More enemies , more life , more dmg . Everything just harder. AND the most important thing ,u need to pass 2 from 3 ways. Many people maybe farms 1 way in explore mode , so just say they need to end 2 ways in the new mode.

This system just make sense if u remove your new reward system and make it maybe like this .

Explore mode

-First time on the day u finished one part u get 30 tokkens (doensmatter how fast u are) If u continue to play this dungeon the same day u just get 10 tokkens if u finikitten.

Hardcore mode

- To finish the hardcore mode u need to finish 2 from 3 ways.
- First time u master it u get 60 tokkens if u continue to farm the dungeon u get 45 rewards .

People woulndt get the feeling , i am to good for this game , thats why i get punished , u maybe would habe more reason to play them , its still a challange , u need to create a proper team setup and u need Tactic !! !! !

Edit:
Tell me your opinion , this was just my first thought so lets create a good new system with makes sense

- i know my english isnt the best , sorry for that .
