Guild Wars 2

Hello!, Im Ferox, and I play mesmer for sPvP Team Sharks With Lazers. We have just recently had our ele (Thrackit) dropout of the team. He will most likely post here to troll, and hopefully that should explain why we did not want him on the team. Team Sharks With Lazers has been in the spvp scene for a while now, and we have grown to become a very formidable team. Due to us being very loose with our roster, we have yet to show how strong we are as a team, and we hope that we can secure this roster for Weeklies, ToG and on, with someone that shares the great dedication we have, in becoming a stronger team than we are right now.
_________________________________
Read Carefully:

-We dont have in-game requirements (example: games played, games played on profession, rank).

-We are looking for an experienced spvp player (open to any class) that knows how conquest works (example: knows how to rotate, teamfight, communication, etc.).

-We require people to have: a working mic, dedication, Teamspeak, 18+ age, great attitude, etc…. (what most teams require anyway)

-The tryouts will work as such: We will pick you up, and start off with dueling, then we will test how well you can hold a point, and other roles that we need you to have mastered, after that we will start team qing and test out communication. It will all end with us giving feedback.

-If we think you fit our standards and play with us well, then expect an invitation to Sharks With Lazers! Good luck everyone!

OR just respond here, I will be checking it daily.

EDIT: we are a NA team

TBH: the best roaming build involve power shatter builds, don’t fall for the easy condi/easy payoff builds. Test yourself, learn the build and you will destroy anyone you face.

So has anyone actually claimed this bounty yet?

Not yet

I will. Also I don’t mind showing ppl how to play shatter if you wanna invite me to [OMFG]

who is masskillerxploit :p

A Mesmer in a pvp team on NA who plays shatter. I believe he is just joking around since he knows interrupt is hard to play well.

I do talk a lot of kitten on the forums;) the reactions are too funny. The only thing about this build that does “carry” the player is the 2, 1/4 sec Immob that sets up a shatter or izerk. In a 1v1 mes v mes duel, an average 4/4/00/6 shatter mesmer will get absolutely destroyed by rylock. This build can be beaten but only by a extreme mechanically skilled shatter mesmer. You have to account for 2 steps ahead of rylock and this build. You have to realize what rylock has lost and gained when going into 446 build. He lost IP. He gained defense. He gained an extra immob. He lost the offense that IP gives. By realizing which skills can be easily interrupted, put those skills in low priority uses. Though it’s hard to low prioritize your heal skill you have to cover it with invisible or invuln. Force rylock to use his interrupts by using hard to interrupt skills then use your “easy to interrupt” skills while hes trying to get his interrupts off cool down.

Get carried by that build. Anyway, lemme know when you wanna bo5. I don’t mind if you record.

I luv u all. /sarcasm

NeXeD.3042:

So you watched nosoc arguably the best necro in pvp in the entire game and now think everyone is capable of that? Why isn’t every mesmer helseth, every theif sizer etc.

I have 15 hours and 31 mins on my necro. Running noscoc spec I went 20-0 in the 1v1 king of the hill server. The only thing that hard counters necro is random dodges. Ask any top tier player this (like me) and I’m 100% sure they agree with me; as this has been discussed already among the top players.

alrighty. this will be an easy fight. IGN: Fxrox

The funny thing is for NA, is that the only ppl voting for PKAY, blacklisted, no clu, or straight of colombia (if they get any) are probably there own players on that team ROFL. I voted for megaloDONG, cause the name.

cuge.5398:

If i could choose, i would put it as a base mechaninc effect with a 10s ICD and maybe applying that nerf so that it could not be used to cause a clone death.

I think you need to rethink this. This would make the mesmer class non existent in spvp and everywhere :p. I think it’s weird that you want the only trait that makes mesmer viable in all lands (pvp pve wvwvw) to get nerfed.

Liewec.2896:

they had plenty of better options,
but in true anet fashion they went with what was easiest.

1. they could have upscaled asurans by 20-30% in pvp (or gave us an option to do so)
but for whatever reason they decided not to do this…
probably because it would require work with effect scaling.

2. they could have altered the asuran animations to be more easily read,
this would have been the best cause of action but this would require them to do some work, and they do not like work!.

3. they could have made the system only standardise the model of asurans.
lets be real here, the only reason for this standardisation is asurans.

4. they could have made the standard human model still show your armour/weapons,
but this would require more work than just plastering the same ugly model on to everyone.

in terms of game impact this is’nt as big of a blunder as spectator/team select in spvp (i have no idea why that is still in game…)
but it will drastically lower the experience as the OP stated (it will seem like fighting the same default NPCs over and over) and also impact all future outfit/armour sales.

Your worried about gem armor sales. PVE PLAYERS IF YOU DONT PLAY PVP. DONT POST IN THE PVP FORUMS. YOU MAKE YOUR SELF LOOK LIKE A IDIOT.

Also it can’t be implemented to your own team. Which isn’t a BIG deal.

This feature is everything that top tier players and teams are looking for to fix the asura problem. They even went a step further and added distinct weapons and armor for each individual class so teams that take pvp srsly can learn the class not only by the skills but now the armor which will increase communication between the teammates resulting in a advantage for the teams that take advantage of this advantage. This is a huge move in the right direction. Also this feature was done perfectly the only problems it has is where it’s going to be implemented (example: it’s not gonna b available in solo q)

Jurica.1742:

While I do love the fact that you guys at anet are trying to fix the race size difference issue in PvP, I think you did not choose the best way. I think it has a good chance of getting bugged and you don’t get to show your armor off which is a big part of MMORPG games. I feel like PvP will begin to be your team vs. what looks like a bunch of NPCs. It will become generic, dull aesthetics wise. It’s like always playing on the same map in a way or having the same armor for a long period of time.

My suggestions is to simply not let asura and, if you think it’s needed, norn or charr to play PvP. If you want to do PvP, play human or sylvari. I understand that this way, people are being pushed to human and sylvari, but out of two bad things, you choose the least harmful one. I think asura is the only reason you made the change, so just banning asura from PvP is good enough. This way you give people even more choice but then I suppose people will feel forced into human as they’re going to be the smallest. This will go on and on until you limit it to 1 race or just human/sylvari. You could also just make asura only for PvP, it would be my favorite even though I do not think you will do that. I think it would be better than human/sylvari as most people play asura for PvP at the moment, you’re going to make a smaller group of people switch races if you make it asura only.

I do not think that it is something you would do as you already have the standard model thing made I guess so why not just make it affect asura and, if you think it is needed, norn and charr. This allows the people that want to see other peoples armor and for other people to see their armor to re-roll to the races that are not affected by the system.

Have a wonderful rest of the day, happy gaming!

Right now this feature is for top tier players/teams. Top teams competing wouldn’t care about how well dressed the enemy is lol. They care about reading the enemy’s movements, rotations, and skills. This isn’t barbie wars 2.

nice troll.

Not trolling.
ANet is committed to LS, and that is not PvE. It’s just noise and colors, and bugs.

what’s pve then? you saying LS is PVP?

LS is PvBugs, PvText, FoolvMarketing, anything you want, but not PvE.

Technically, it’s PvE. Your negative feelings towards it doesn’t change that.

Technically it’s Player in Environment, not versus.

Hello frands, Steb here, I’m one of the top thieves in the game. S/D needs to be nerfed, it’s OP (Note that thieves are not OP, just the weaponset, and since thieves are UP as a whole, this helped balance them out), and bad for gameplay, balance, and thieves. That said, most other classes need some pretty significant nerfs to keep balance in check.

Yeah one of the top thieves…

Kay, for you WvW frandz, Hi, I’m Steb. I come from SPvP land, where it’s significantly more balanced than WvW Land. I’m the leader of Blacklisted, one of the top NA teams. We are in the grand finals for ToL2. Hi, Nice to meet you bro, Cute WvW vidz.

Dude. Sharks with Lazers would destroy your team that’s apparently “top tier”. Also your road to grand finals in tol2 was disgustingly easy, so don’t even brag about that.

tichorum.2415:

Woooooow is Zeromis, Countless, Qwho, and 2 others (unsure of who). Will be a solid showing IMO.

The other 2 is enemy and vain.

Q3 too stackedddddddddd…. for na at least lel.

Hello frands! Vee Wee here, #1 Engi NA and world first rank 80!

Congratulations Blu!

Vee Wee is amazed at how everyone all chipped in for a dedicated member of the Guild Warts 2 community! This gives Vee Wee an idea! Vee Wee would like to start a fundraiser for Arenanet! For every x amount of money we donate to Arenanet, Arenanet has to release a balance patch or fix Skyhammer or buff Engineers or something else the game desperately needs! How much would you all donate!

Wahoo! Bye frands!

No one cares if you are number 1 engi lol.. 1st off there are not that many “good engies” to compare you to.. second off most of the lvl 80 spvp rank people skyhammer farmed.. NOW if you were to say you were in your 60-70s that would be legit.. but anyone 80 now a days i laugh at.. usually they die just as easy as the lvl 10s

O and engis are in a good state atm.. prob a little to good but they are in a good spot.. stop QQ more pew pew

lol man you don’t know what you have gotten yourself into

I gotta agree with Zeus, I’ve never known this PeeWee before September 2013, the only best well known engy was OstrichEggs. And ever since I came back I been seeing this guy all the time.

Ostrich was rank 60 before I left and ya know what, with the revamped system he’d be considered a rank 80, and nobody made rank 80 before the new system came alive so, if this PeeWee was high enough rank to make it to 80 with the new system, he isn’t first, hes tied with Ostrich and any other engy that was able to get instant rank 80. Chaith was pretty popular too, but PeeWee nope never heard of him, he musta been hotjoin farming or something.

LOL Vee Wee just 2v1d. Hook line and sinker. I wonder how many more gullible people are gonna fall for this.

Stop invading the PvP side of the forums. Go back to the Game General Discussion threads with all the other QQers, Random.

Rofl…..

Also the voting was rigged.

Lordrosicky.5813:

It really does suck in PvP.

There is so much condi cleanse around and no burning really hurts. Really hard to ever kill a warrior because they just outlast all your damage with healing signet and then have zerker stance back up again (hambow easiest to kill probably by even they can 1 shot you).

The only thing necro owns is engineer which is also not very good.

This game has given too many classes the ability to do EVERYTHING. The celestial buff backfired totally as now you have the best condi classes being ele/warrior – except they can also be bunkers/do direct damage at the same time. A bunker guradian shuts down a necro. So does a staff ele. The guardian shouts should be nerfed. Add an icd to Pure of Voice imo. That was some skill is required when bunkering too.

My idea: give necro torment on scepter 3 or make the second scepter auto attack apply torment and not bleed. Necro needs more conditions.

Warrior/ele are just the best at everything and it sucks. Guardian shout build been OP for about 3 years. Thieves are broken.

Rangers, engis, necro and mesmers get the screw for most of the last 2 years. Last patch the only HUGE nerf was to dhuumfire which was to a class which wasn’t even viable anyway.

This sounds like a l2p issue, because I know that necro condi hard counter just about everything. Some more than others.

Any updates to brackets?

Mike.4830:

Lets be real, you are not a good player. You deserve to cast this 100%. You should not play on the all star team. You’re not going to get “great” in one month. Sorry to break it to you, but if you play with the NA team, there is absolutely no way NA will win…. and don’t think you have good decision and rotation skills from casting.. every time you give advice in games it is wrong

Backpack is just kitten cause he wasn’t invited ;O

(As a mesmer main aswell) The s/d build has major physical tells, that indicate certain attacks. Most thieves open with s3+s2 or signet; dodge 1 second latter as the thief does s3 to tie into the combo. Sword on mesmer is very useful, because if a thief does “jump” on you at the begginning, you can deal around 2k-4k to the thief because he got into range of it, because of skills, also you evade his biggest burst. Also if a thief lands a steal on you, its gg, Gotta learn to dodge/evade/invuln through those. Its also about dealing damage consistently to the thief, holding your big “burst” when the thief is either on CDs, or makes a mistake. Also save your gs#5 skill for Shadow Refuge, if you knock the thief out of SR, gg, if you dont, he had to waste a dodge to stay in. If a thief SRs away from you and you cant get to him quickly to gs5 him out of it: Run in the opposite direction wait six seconds then pop mass invis. a SR gives the thief 10 secs of invis, if you can get the upper hand on stealth gg. (kite and wait 6sec+5 sec invis from mass=11 sec of invis/kite, SR on thief=10 sec)

EDIT: Also when a thief spams s3, dodge/evade/invuln 1 sec after he STARTS to “spin” around you. This will “evade” the hard hitting attacks.

Sry for the bad english, im writing this at 2am :P hopes this helps.

I think we’ve decided to compete again in the tourney. See you guys there.

We humbly do not accept your app. We are looking for good players… thanks tho.

gesho.9468:

let me try, though i frankly am newbie. somewhat random thoughts.

Shockwave.1230:

I don’t understand what your (ANet) view on balance is.

• balance is per build.
• some builds can be strong 1v1, some in team fight. it is possible to have hard counter 1v1.
• no build should counter everything 1v1, without having counter itself.
• power and condi, bunker and damage, each should be able to kill the other in 1v1.
• given meta, every build should have at least one viable build, fitting at least one role.

I don’t understand at what tier of play you are trying to balance.

tpvp and soloQ should be balanced in high and mid skill level.

I don’t understand what your goals are for each class.

given high customizability of gw2, there is no goal for prof identity. prof identity is in RP such as: “this is in and out, hard to catch, pita damage, but once caught – squishy. stealth is his mark”. this RP is then overall implemented in weapon and util skills, traits.

I don’t understand what your view on build diversity per class is.

in general – the more the better. given meta there should be at least one viable per meta.

I don’t understand what you’re doing or where you’re going with your PvP.

question is rhetorical. if you mean esports, would be nice, but mmo overall doesnt seem to be a good choice for esports but to the extent available, we’ll support it. but there will be no big resources invested in this. there is no particular emphasis to cater to high tier players necessarily.

I do this because you have what could be the best action combat system of any RPG I have every played, and I have fun playing it.

yeah, we know

I don’t see a direction though.

the direction is making good better. we dont expect any fundamental changes.

I don’t see your initiative, I don’t see your passion, I’ve felt it missing for too long.

allie murdock, who got so much hate before getting all the love (after announcing resignation) used to work 17 hours, then would go home, get in bad and watch twitch on her plasma. that’s not no passion.

Your responses to these quotes, sound like your a dev…

This game is just so fluid in its pvp combat…..it’s hard to quit this game…..

It’s k kirito, you’ll get to play with the big boys soon!

But GW3 will be out by then.

Maybe they will get esports right then #hope

I personally think the whole idea is stupid…. you will never see me in there.

Wait… it’s still happening kirito?

You should ask what build you play and why you play it. So you don’t try anyone out that thinks he can play a spec and has no idea what it really is.

Also I’m kinda confused on why you ask for win/loss ratios…. is this CoD? /rant over. Will thr be a official date for tryouts? Or we just tryout whenever team is on?

Mesmer main…. played pvp all mai life as mesmer. I’ll b pming u in game
