People don’t like a games, where never wins.
It’s game about survive, not about kill ‘em all. What’s wrong with hiding in a plants? Do the same, take some rations and hide too.
And play aggresive when game start, for 2 minutes after start, you’ll be rez after you died, so go, kill and then – hide.
Hello!
It’s very interesting for me.
How ANet will know who wins, if you can make 2 achievement, for Kiel and Evon?
There’s should be something like a final mission, where you have to make a choice, who is your candidate.
Seriously, it’s sounds like a scam.
Sorry for my english.
I hope these tokens for voting can’t be bought in Gem Store X.X
Hello.
I played sPvP with my guild while BWE, with my thief. It was funny and it was easy, beacuse everyone was new, Now, it’s very hard to go for sPvP with pug and my guild don’t want to do that.
I got Gladiator’s rank yesterday. Yea, it’s nothing, but it’s mean I played a while. A few weeks ago, I thought I can go for sPvP with pug, but it was bad idea. I had 175 points and max point from my team was 200. Most of them had above r28 and everyone called me a noob. I just took place for my team and go for another point, and again and again. I don’t understand why there was so rude. I just wanna have fun, just like in old GW1 with Random Arena. I don’t like that’s casual kitten called PvP Browser. You can enter and leave whenever you want and I don’t like it.
Am I doing it wrong? Have you any guides (sites or your posts) for new players who wanna have fun in sPvP with pug and haven’t any mentor?
I’m a mesmer.
Sorry for my english, I’m still learning.
Thank you,
Chris.
In my opinion, Kiel paid Aeatherblade to become one of the counciles.
That would be cool, isn’t?
Hello!
I played GW1 for 6 years and I’m playing GW2 since 2BWE.
Mesmer is my main character. After changes in Sky Pirates of Tyria, I was so excited because of more powerful interrupt. Why? Because my second character in GW1, after Dervish, was Mesmer.
I’ve read on Wikipedia this: "Interrupts as they existed in Guild Wars are not as prevalent in Guild Wars 2 because of their dependence on low network latency to be used effectively. " I don’t know what low network latency you’re talking about. Maybe it was a problem 6 years ago but not now. That’s no matter now.
I’ll never see my Dervish in GW2 and you’ve completely changed Mesmer – OK, that’s fine but if you add interrupt to Mesmer, please, make it better.
After WvWvW, PvE and PvP, I know – interrupt sucks.
It has small damage and long cooldown. Some of monsters are immune to daze, stun or knockdown and I can’t interrupt if foe have “Stability” and you have to watch animation because there’s no cast-bar in GW2. It’s easy to watch animation if you’re 1vs1, but with bigger group it’s impossible because you don’t see anything and you have to jump and dodge from right to left. And sorry little Asura, but you’re too small, to see your animation nyerk.
I’m not a game designer, so I don’t have good solution, but I’m a player and I think it should be something like that:
1. Interrupt after daze, knockdown and stun? OK, that’s good for Thief, Warrior or Elementalist not for Mesmer. Interrupt for Mesmer should be a skill, not an effect of skill. Something like that (it’s just an example):
“Meditate, charging a spell that will interrupt your target.”
Instead of
“Meditate, charging a spell that will daze your target.”
And with that, we can interrupt mobs which are immune for daze, stun, kd etc. and players with Stability.
2. More skills for interrupt
Ok. New skills may be too big for now. And if you’ll add something for Mesmers, everyone will want something new too. But in the future, if you’ll add new skills, don’t forget about interrupt Mesmers. It could be even 1 AoE interrupt skill, something like that:
“Ground target. Create a field of energy that interrupts skills of foes and damage nearby foes.”
3. Add cast-bar.
Even with new skills and better interrupt mechanic, it’s still sucks without cast-bar, because you have to watch foes animation (if you can see that foes) and you can’t fight. And in my opinion PvP would be more dynamic.
That’s my solution for better interrupt. Comment, discuss. If you don’t like my solution, say it, but please, say it nicely. It’s better to read and comment if discuss is healthy.
And sorry for my language. English isn’t my native language and I’m still learning.
Regards,
Chris
