@Frowny: I’m positive towards the upcoming dagger changes, but I don’t think it’s gonna make us on pair with the other classes in pvp. I’m unaware of the condition nerf, could you elaborate more on that?
Anyway, I’ve played around with different builds and taking some advice from the forums into consideration, in the end I ended up with this build: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vEAQJArYhMM6ZW4wxBd0AyQRGMCiHWgDwhFF5wMA-ToAgzCsICSFkLITQygsBNEZSA
It’s not a D/D build which I was originally looking for and I also tried it with D/D at first, but I realized that it worked a lot more better with Scepter after tweaking a few traits, obviously. I’m currently loving this build in Solo arenas <3 It works really well for me.
I don’t think anybody is expecting us to be on par with any of the classes. The changes just makes us less out of place, it wont suddenly makes us the IT class.

It’s bullkitten that you can’t actually use that chalice of glory.
ignorance is not an excuse. I did this morning and I got exactly what I wanted.
You’re out of your mind. I just got the glory chalice and can’t use it, either. Ignorance has nothing to do with it.
Sucks for you buddy. I got glory and I used it to get a couple of armor pieces I was missing. Sucks to be you.
1. The glory NPC are still up.
2. 5000 glory is infinitely more useful than 5000 rank points. 5000 rank points is nothing and can be gotten in 5 teamQ. 5000/200 is 25 chest for skins that are hard to get in PvE and even in the new PvP system.
^ Yet it’s very difficult because there’s that hotjoin mentality. I’ve explained a lot that they shouldnt be capping with 2 or more yet they don’t listen.
Hotjoin, the curse of gw2 pvp.
I think the problem isn’t hotjoin. The problem is the fact that MMR starts too high and so players like yourself get screwed by Hotjoin heroes.
I think if MMR started low by the time they start to play with someone that has a high MMR they would have almost be free from the zerg mentality.
So hate the MMR dont blame Hotjoin or Custom Arenas.

Pro tip on how to write properly on a game forum:
1. Keep it short. IF that is not possible go to 2.
2. Keep it short. If that is not possible to go 3.
3. Use spacing. Spacing gives a nice mental break which is why they exist. They don’t exist to spice things up, they exist to make it easier to read.
4. If you are going to make a long QQ post, avoid writing it like you are talking to someone, it doesn’t work well.
5. Keep it short and include key phrases or words like “slap to the face” and “esportz”.
6. Always include a tl;dr
Anyways, if you bought the game directly for Anet you can always ask for a refund if it is within a few weeks old.

wait… so you could spend 1000 euros/dollars for gems and then get 400.000 rank points which equals r45
without EVER playing a single pvp game^^
(50 euro = 4000 gems = 4x chalice of rank points (cause atm it’s on sale) = 20.000 rank points)
now in case you have rich parents/are rich yourself and you can spend 10k on the gemshop then you get rank 225 (r70+ with old system)for pvp without doing anything in pvp?^^
i thought at least pvp rank was something you couldnt buy :/
solution:
dont make it possible to buy the deluxe upgrade more than once per account ^^
edit: i just thought so since i bought the deluxe version when i bought gw2 and yet i have the option to buy the upgrade ..
it seems bad because you dont know the kitten you are talking about.
1. you can only get the items once.
2. assuming 1 is not true in fantasyland why would you sped8 that much on gaining pvp rank, even when it comes with only finishers?
3. in conclusion, ignorance is not an excuse in the real sorld.

Listen to Uhtameit.2413, the most efficient way to quit gw2 is to PvP only day long. If you are truly worried about gold, go do a PvE instance. It is significantly faster and more efficicent than PvPing all day long and you don’t have to tire out your brain trying to think about beating that overpowered easy brain dead spec that requires even less brains than PvEing.
Don’t PvP all day long if you care about gold. Go do PvE or something.

It screams F2P Cash Shop. This is supposed to be a “AAA” MMO. RNG Gambling in the Gem Store is not what a AAA MMO does. It is what cheap F2P MMOs do. Which is exactly what GW2 is becoming.
1. AAA status has nothing to do with cash shop model and everything to do with how much money they invested into the game. You can have AAA games that are bad, ask Swtor.
2. AS the result of 1. Anet needs a way to generate income to return Ncsoft’s investment games that are not making money end up like Free realms. They could do p2win stuff, but a lot of people are going to complain. Lock boxes exist to prey on the minds of the weak willed, it should never affect you unless you have no will. You can buy the stuff you want from the box with gold.
3. As the result of 2, Guild wars 2 maintain its AAA status, so go back to one.
The point being cash shop has no correlation to AAA status. The other alternative is pay 15 bucks a month to play the game and then skill get hit with a cash shop with instant level boost.

Instead of new traits, why don’t they adjust the 20% cooldown ones to be for weapon sets (dagger, scepter etc.). I bet this is going to open up a lot more diversity and considering our standard cooldowns are so long, maybe make that 25-30%.
Instead of making it lower, how about we make it so that they reduce the attunement requirement similar to Fast hands.
That still segregates every attunement, though if there was one such trait for all attunements I agree.
That was the point. To segregate it similar to fresh air. Anet consider each attunement to be a weapon set why not accept that reality by making changing all those idiotic Cd reducing stuff to lower attunement access.

Like the Lord said good players, bad player it is all relative to the current PvP population and the balance. In other MMORPG I have played, when the best players left others stepped to take the crown, the same will happen here.
In my bias opinion, Anet should not even attempt to actively bring back the “old” competitive players but instead cultivate new players. There is no reason to actively try and bring them back but instead improve the game enough to tempt them to return
Go back to during balance patches once every 6 weeks no more shaving. Improve rewards, new maps, balance, balance, balance, balance, titles and exclusive skins, balance, balance again, fix the elementalist, balance….at infinity balance at infinity + 1 fix elementalist.

My issue is that I do focus on point suppression, but they just leave the point briefly to kitten on me and then they cap the point while I bleed out (if they decided not to waste their sweet time stomping me).
Even a zerker ele is support dps at best. Just like others have said, wait until the patch and then see if eles can be brought up to a better place. There’s probably nothing wrong with how you’re playing, just that eles are in a really bad place right now and needs some buffs.
He said he was doing no damage as zerker ele, so again, I beg to differ. There is certainly something wrong with how he’s playing it.
Maybe he shouldn’t be trying to take a point as a staff ele (or an ele at all) and zerker staff eles aren’t great 1v1 against a thief unless you take EA, AS, and/or mistform (which would still make it tough), but eles are really at a disadvantage overall. Zerker staff eles rely on positioning and team fights in order to be effective. He might do better as S/D fresh air, but that’s not what he’s running so for his situation, he’s limited to the role of support dps. A zerker staff ele can wreak havoc with a hammer war as long as he can keep his distance and the warrior is CCing for him to keep the enemy in his AOEs.
Instead of just saying that he is playing ele wrong, you could maybe offer some suggestions…
I suggested two builds that ensure he will do damage. Staff ele is an easy prey for a thief anyway, that’s even more true for a berserker staff ele. In any case if you wanna do decently in PvP these days, the first rule is not to play ele.
totally, if you want to be effective don’t play an elementalist. elementalist are consider so bad that whenever an ele is sported on the opposite team, the other team usually consider it a 4v5 match.
From the OP comment about blowing stuff up and all those things, seems kinda naive, I feel like he/she probably isn’t at the level (I am not even close, so I am not trying to knock OP down or anything) to be average on the elementalist, especially free kill staff.

Are you going alone vs several people? your post makes it sound that way. You need to position yourself so that the enemy doesn’t see you until it’s too late if you’re glass staff ele.
Yep. staff elementalist is only truly effective inconjuction with another player. the other player puts pressure while you stand back and do stuff. The issue with the ele is one wrong look and they drop really really fast.

I agree. Now if only the was a patch coming soon, that gave a reason for 99.9% of the fanbase to consider doing SPvP because the sPvP isn’t separate from PvE anymore and actually gave decent rewards.

I think the big reason we need to streamline things and make it easy to pickup is NOT because newbies are dumb or incapable of figuring it out, but rather because PvP is very, very intimidating. Reduction in apparent complexity helps PvP be more approachable and less intimidating.
Also, I can’t undersell the benefits of reducing conceptual complexity for assisting designers achieve balance. We are finite creatures, us humans, and can only hold so many things in our mind at one time. We can create tools to help work around this, but anything that helps make balance easier gets my vote.
also, seems like all effort goes to bringing players in but not on keeping them
What you said could be true for the old rewards system but not the new.

We are not sure how each rune set that is not perplexity will be changed.
From early indications (a few rune sets which were shown in Twitch channel) these changes make them similar in power to perplexity runes which got nerfed (thinking of the might rune set they showed)
Therefore, I would just wait before over-reacting. I’m betting a bag of popcorn that perplexity runes will not be the rune set most complained about.
All runes are being changed, but I wouldn’t say they are being “re-balanced”. I just don’t want you to be under this impression. Their stats were more “adjusted for consistency”. There are still going to be 2-3 sets that’ll probably end up unanimously more powerful than most.
By any chance you want to share that super awesome elementalist build, but with me only.

Not to be rude, but this is the stupidest reason why they haven’t added more skills.
It seems more likely that new skills will be attached to some living content like all previous skills have been and less about activation bar. Which imo does not have a place in this game (all skills should be behave like the elementalist staff, slow and obvious, but I digress).
They seem to be breaking up content to give a reason why people should log in. They probably figured that the new changes will be enough and they are going to add more during the LS.

How are you going to balance Elementalist and hybrid classes with that change? Will it make the balance process simpler, or will it just add another layer of complex balance changes due to hybrid class being hit greatly by this major change?
It will take more than the minor stat increase that jewels provided to fix the elementalist. The removal of jewels or the inclusion of it, was not the thing that made the elementalist terrible. The elementalist problems are fundamental mechanics and Anet’s balance team inability to balance a chair on a flat surface or maybe is the fact that the devs team don’t know what to do with the elementalist or are too afraid to do a major overhaul of it.

Silly you.
Haven’t you understood that pvp players are the lowest group in ANets hierarchy?
Even lower than exploiters.
Every Skyhammer farmer will be Dragon and every PvE player will look faboulas in PvP with his Legendary and all his fancy skins.
In the meantime, ANet will almost delete everything PvP players have worked on.
1. Let’s be honest there except for QQ, what exactly do Pure PvPers bring into the game that PvEers don’t bring more of?
2. I don’t see why people seem to care about legies. Every few even care about them in PvE, why do you care what they do. personally Legies is the equivalent of rank, which means absolutely nothing.

Are there any meaningful changes coming to the elementalist (staff or CD) not including the GM (which are not really that great) that will make it viable in sPvP other than bunker? Essentially what other unannounce changes are going to the elementalist and when will we get the full patch notes to criticism like the last two times.
One of the things that I loved about Guild Wars 2 at launch was that if you didn’t want to PvP, you didn’t have to PvP. Everything about sPvP was kept separate from the PvE game, and so if you had no interest in PvP then you weren’t made to feel that you were “missing out” by not having access to certain rewards that might also be appealing to a PvE player.
I guess my concern after reading that blog post is, what methods will be available for pure PvE players to earn the rewards talked about in the post?
There are almost no PvP exclusive rewards. All the new rewards except the back item can be achieved in PvE.
So if you want to achieve this rewards without PvP, you could always JUST PVE. (mind blown)

So I am confused. What is the point of these new PvP rewards?
What is the point of tying all the game modes together?
What is the point?
Money, what else xD
Actually NO.
The whole point of these changes is to make PvP more connected to PvE, but more importantly it is to make PvP have a decent amount of rewards when it gets release in the biggest MMO market, China.
So… money
Everything can be broken down into money if you want to go down that path.
Guild wars 2 exist cuz Ncsoft/anet thought it could make money. Guild wars 2 cost money because Ncsoft/anet thought it could make money. Improving the game because Anet/Nc thought it will lead to money money. Getting more players to play PvP because it could make money. The only thing they don’t make money off directly is the forums, but they make money off of it by containing most of the crazies here.

So basicly the ppl who will be in the best spot after this patch will be those who mostly played PvE?
As they will have the most amount of gold and gems and those are the only things you now need to get anything in PvP.
Great!
Hype!!!!
So the changes to PvP:
-Instead of getting full acces to traits, skills and amuletts etc. you now will have to pay for them in PvP.
-Instead of “Style” being tied to you progression in the rank sysem, you now can simply buy everything or use you PvE gear
-Everything achieved via PvP in the past e.g already unlocked skins, glory boosts, crafting mats will become worthless.
Awesome!
But at least they are fixing the meta with proper Balancing. Oh, wait…
How exactly would that be? If you are a PvP only player then these changes except for the charges to change armor wont affect you. To unlock more stuff you already get gold. These changes means more players Playing PvP which gives Anet an incentive to actually dedicate more resources to it.
This changes only negatively impacts PvP only players that decided at this very moment to suddenly start doing PvE and this amounts to it being your own kitten fault since nobody was physically stopping you from PvEing.
what the hell… what was the point in doing pve before this changes if your focus was spvp? the gold was worthless plus the skins were only unlockable by pvp….
And now all the pretty boy duncans of pve will come like heroes with their legendarys and getting stomped (or playing OP classes and roflestomp the rest)
What is the point of doing anything? Nobody stopped you from doing PvE or vice versa. Essentially, you are getting mad that the teacher did not force you to do your homework and now you are behind the other kids that did.
Since when did legendaries actually mean a thing? Except for the annoying particle effects, a noob with a legendary is still just that, a noob with a legendary.

When you enter the Heart of The Mists for the first time after the April 2014 Feature Pack goes live, all of the skins you have collected in PvP will unlock in your Wardrobe. There will be a vendor selling basic, level-appropriate weapons and armor for you to apply unlocked skins to.
What is the point of these “basic” armor/weapons if looks carry over from pve and vice versa? You have to apply the pvp skins to them first to unlock them?
I think the wardrope system works by applying “skins” to armor. So you have to buy basic armor to in other to apply those skins (pvp skins you have) onto it. This will allow for separation for PvP and PvE.
It would be unfair if, the month before the patch hits, pvers were to flood pvp just for the sake of easy skin/ dye farming, and end up with as many – or almost as many – skins and dyes unlocked as we have gathered over the year and a half playing pvp.
If it took you a year and a half to amass your dye and skin collection, why would it take pvers less than one month?
I think he meant all of the skins.
Certain skins are siginficantly easier to get in PvP than in PvE. Examples are both dwayna’s bow(s), and orr armor. I have all the orr set without having to either run that terrible instance or spend 8g per run for only 60 tokens (requires 180+ for the lower pieces and 300+ for the main pieces) and certain paths can take up to 4 hours with an in experience group.
All other skins except cultural armor and dungeons can be cheaply bought or crafted, except masqueraded.

I was right btw. No new game mode. They lied to us again. The new map will be marginally interesting but at the end of the day it is just zergjoin. An unbalanced mess is what it will be.
The PvP community isn’t even second rate. We are just not even a consideration at all. They don’t care about us at all. What does pvp get this patch? Nothing at all. Which is hilarious. We don’t even get a balance patch after 5 months of nothing. And that was after a tiny insignificant december patch. WHich we had to wait ages for.
1. There is no such thing as a PvP community. There is however a forum PvP community which doesn’t even know what they want.
2. They never promised anything about new game modes. They simply said that they are working on it, since your so called PvP community was demanding Arenanet to break their usual “when it is ready” PR statement.
3. I like to think that adding those sigils and runes are nice changes that will shake up the meta, but we don’t know yet.
The point being that a lot o f players demanded Anet be open and when they open players create false promises in their mind. Your post is the reason why Anet never says kitten, because at the end of the day the outcome is still the same, players whining.
added: the new map seems more like a test to see how TDM will work. i doubt this is the last update for sPvP now that a bigger market is now at stake (china).

If u haven’t figured out that this feature patch was designed to help minimize the damage ESO might do to gw2 then there is no way to help you. This was meant to bring back some hype.
I didn’t even mention the feature patch or it’s timing.. so.. er… yeah. I don’t need helped, thanks.
Also I can tell you what you could get in 3 days, not 3 weeks. I got my full orr set for all 3 classes and nearly all those weapons. I got wings of dwayna and feather of dwayna both worth about 200g each when I checked. I could have grinded for the cultural armor within those 3 weeks: bday booster + glory booster.
I think most pve’ers wouldn’t be able to tolerate that much pvp. I have serious doubts that they’d subject themselves to so many hours of it especially considering so many pve’ers have thousands of dungeon tokens already and make more money in those. (Orr being the exception for ease of skins.)
The point being the impact would have been kitten the general economy. Considering all the pvpz iz ded post, I doubt the impact not having rewards for a few weeks is more important than protecting the game.
Please explain to me how people flooding to pvp is more damaging to the economy than people flooding to dungeons or champ trains.
I guess you must be psychic because you clearly know what PvErs can and wont do? YOu don’t need everybody in PvE to do it, you just need a lot of them to create an economic damage. I can’t speak for anybody, but I do know for a fact that a significant percentage of players would have done PvP if it meant not having to spend 200g to get wings of dwayna. All it takes is a few matches and a little luck to get a 200g weapon in less than 1 hours of hotjoin (mystery coffers get paid tournament + 200 glory for a long bow or shortbow). A significant percentage of PvEers from my experience will do a lot to get a skin they want.
A lot of players spend 8g per run trying to get that orr armor skin, in PvP you can get that extremely fast. The point being that if they had told everybody in advance the whole point of running orr would have been moot, the price of dyes drop, the price of certain weapon skins would tank and the 120g for t3 cultural armor would not have been taken out.
Please explain to me how people flooding to pvp is more damaging to the economy than people flooding to dungeons or champ trains.

We removed glory and match reward chests early to prevent a flood of PvE players from coming into PvP just to fill their wardrobe. While the our team would LOVE everyone playing PvP, some super smart economist peopleguys said it would have negative repercussions on the in-game economy or something.
That seems so very, very unlikely. Maybe regarding dyes, but just dyes could have been removed. I really have to wonder realistically how far a pve-only player could have gotten in 3 weeks. And honestly, wouldn’t they just go run the dungeons to get said dungeon gear? Or run dungeons to buy cultural armor? It’s a heck of a lot more profitable to do so and fitting with their play style. And how would this have any repercussions on the economy any more than now people possible running more dungeons to get that gear given dungeons are more profitable?
Seems like some bad decisions were made.

It’s really unfortunate that we had to do this, but we explored other ways of handling it and nothing was really feasible except holding wardrobe back until the next feature pack (which also meant holding back lots of other PvP changes) or removing some of the PvP rewards for a month.
When your premise is dev trying to screw you over, you dont need a reason to assume the worst, even though once it was apparent that a wardrobe system was coming via data mining.
