Guild Wars 2

Lucius.2140:

Pvp on December 2014: 10k players, was the max of all time in that moment.

Pvp on January of 2017: Only gw2 efficiency had 25k players with skill rating.
Games not dying, has its problems and you are bored, but that doesnt mean its dying. Self delusional could be used to:
thinking issues= dying and i think/feel that its dying = its dying.

In any case, hope your pvp crisis pass and you continue to play.

Pd: Not my main language.

Where are the data come from???
I have to say, you can see the viewer number from ESL / WTS / Twitch / Reddit….
This is more useful and objective for reference.

Boxing was End.
Welcome to HoT Power Creep Affray!

Move off that def + off same time system, condi stack, aoe damage spam(HoT Powercreep) is the only way to help this game renaissance.

The gap sure huge in this game. HoT make this block block block inv inv dodge dodge dodge 12345 off + def same time….. this kittening combat system just for 10% or less high skill player who know the timing and have a good net speed. Other? just make a lucky hit or do not make enough damage to kill anyone.

You except need to know skill rotation for your class and
You MUST need to know all other class their skill rotation.
If not, you just have two result:
1.You can’t make any damage for any enemy because of less touch time in that block block block 12345 rotation. even if you know that rotation. you also need to know How to Burst. If not, you still can’t make any kill or enough damage.
2.Dead in a Sec. The damage all are out of control because of less touch time. If you a New player that you don’t know how all other class skill rotation work and don’t make your def rotation. You sure Die.
If Anet think a new player can do above things that main they all are crazy. New player even can’t make a right time dodge. who want to play a game that die again again and again? how many ppls can keep to play it until they know all class skill? That why GW2 have this poor player base.

When you see d/d condi teef. The ele and heavy cleaning is your hope. If not, this teef can beat any 1V1 except warrior. But the main point is warrior also can’t beat him in same level. Anyway, if you want to beat a good teef. Use teef is the only way in this season.

one word : lucky
You may be have a little chance hit them between their dodge. But this is all about Lucky. No any skill there. And also you can watch them kill the lord of Foefire in the NPC stacking position but no way to stop them.

D/P Teef:
411 411 411 411

Staff teef:
55v 55v 55v 55v 55v 55v

Condi Teef:
33v 33v 33v 33v 33v 33v

Let’s spam~~~~~Brainless War2

War never changes ! Let ’s spam off with def~!!!

defensive is defensive!
offensive is offensive!
gw2 pvp = defensive+offensive all the time!!! come on~ let’s spam!!!!

offensive is offensive.
defense is defense.
If you make them in same time. Then a Boxing will become a Affray.
No watching point! Broing! Confusion!
No one would get enjoyable in this confusion game.

Then no player>> no viewer >> no gamer >>….

Urejt.5648:

staff acrobat thief easily counters war. it is more and more popular on na.

Because Staff thief do the same thing and do better than warrior.
off & def in same time + huge aoe damage

off & def in a same time this go though whole HoT GW2
Not problem of DH. You can see same thing in staff/condi thief , mes , rev ,warrior…..

gw2 = 2000 viewer’s eeee-sssport!!
Are you joke?

Balance from 1V1 , not 5V5. This can fix many problem (sustain spam, AOE spam, condi stack, clean spam, class stack)
But it just a fantasy. This game has no hope already…. and can’t be great again.
They have destroyed too many successful things since HoT.

LionChain.7694:

the problem isnt with the dh by itself…the problem is when there are MULTIPLE dh’s on a team…and this is really a problem in general when there are multiples of almost any class on a team. ranked pvp needs to be fixed so that there arent more than one of the same class on any teams…even if that leads to longer queue times, i personally would be ok with that if that means no more double dh’s or double heal eles or double thieves or double whatever.

so plz stop qqing about dh class and plz stop nerfing it…in fact some of the previous nerfs to it should be reverted. players and anet especially, plz recognize that the problem is in CLASS STACKING, not in the class itself.

They share their trap… share their block…. share their heal…. share their blind…. share their pull and push. I have given pull and push for 4 times by 2 DHs. That time, I think I am a football and this is special reward for NEC.

2 – 6 DH in every match at platinum. As a NEC, I have tired to fight with them and I tired to play this game too.
Another way, That burn Guard/DH + ele ….. .. what is that combination? how to hit the Guard/DH? Team fight always get 10+ burn when hit their BLOCK!!! BLOCK!!!BLOCK!!!BLOCK!!!BLOCK!!!BLOCK!!! .
When I see them. Should I leave the keyboard and do not doing anything? or turn on that Healing bot ele?
The worse thing is 70% of DH and Guard just spam their trap and block rotation in the point. They even don’t use any dodge. Sometime, I don’t believe this is platinum….

Yes cheap invulns are a problem of whole game. its stupid that it brings a 100-0 matchup like burn guard vs transfer necro close to 50/50.
You can still transfer to other enemies, but yea it is a timebomb battle.

ele can clean that burn stack in a sec and Shocking Aura do his great job. But the real problem is: if your team don’t have ele join this burn block game = game over.

You should ask : Which is NOT broken?

If you don’t have HoT(Power creep/Buy to Win).

Pls leave this game. This is for own save and don’t hurt other ppls.

Take a Guard(DH) then spam your trap and block. you will win 70% ppls except other Guard(DH). That’s all.

When everyone spam their block block block inv evade healing mobility 123456 brainless rotation. Nec just have their Life force and poor 5-10 sec Stability that can transformation and not work in numerous CC. And most of skill need to spell in NEC. If you in a hard focus fire. CC can make you even not to do a dodge or a skill spell.

Anyway, You know what mean on block , inv and dodge
Block = Stability + HP + 100%working in numerous CC.
Invincible = Stability + HP + 100%working in numerous CC.
Dodge Spam = Stability + HP + 50%working in numerous CC + mobility.

Let us see NEC
Life force = HP. that all
LOL, This game is fair that I have never see.
That also why NEC is a first target in High tiers AND all can bite you in 1V1

Nec is now need best skill to handle. May be you can try it in high MMR. If you have something mistake on movement, skill use, position, life force control, dodge use, jumping skill…..
Then focus fire will take you out about 5 Sec in a teamfight. And every other class also bite you like a free meat on 1V1.

War Never Change….

THIS GAME = spam your block block block inv inv dodge dodge movement 12345…… rotation. that’s all !

And 47,0000 people quit gw2 pvp due to DH blocks

because his enemy are bronze.
in this block block block 12345 rotation game. if your enemy they don’t know find the window of that kittening rotation.
1V4 is kittening easy.

1. delete it
2. cancel it
3. forgot it

War never changes

Dragoncancer …..

-_- ……. What the game happen?

Their Game Designer is Great. I am interesting about their experience.
How can make a reward easy to get like this. Let PVEer break all PVP player and who want to play PVP. Make PVPer hate PVEer. Anet have done their great job.

A poem of PVEer:
I go there just for Ascended armor. You win or lose I don’t care.
But one thing I can sure. Time is money no more!
Make you lose more = Make me get Ascended armor faster.

What is a scourge of power creep?
Let’s see how the system works.
The answer is easy.
Power creep break the pillar of that pyramid : Balance and Fair
Then all thing are broken. You can see the number of viewer from WTS and ESL. This is really poor.

And you can see why number is everything.

Nikkinella.8254:

My theory is that all future elite specs will be balanced against the current one. So, you’re just gonna have 2 base lines and always pick a 3rd elite line. All the elites will be equal to eachother. That’s how they get ya to buy the expansions. If you want something different, but equal in terms of power, gotta buy more expansions. Forget about having 3 core lines, thats a thing of the past. There will always be 2 core lines + whatever new elite lines they roll out, I’m pretty sure that’s their angle. It makes sense from a business standpoint. I would do it if I were trying to sell an expansion.

Think about it this way. What incentive do pvp and wvw players have to buy the expansion if the new elite specs are the same power as core specs? None whatsoever. Just keep playing core for free and win if you’re good. Want to stay competitive? Have to buy the expansion. Pvers will buy it no question for all the new skins, dungeons, maps, etc. So that’s really the only way the can get pvpers and wvwers to buy the expansion since we dont care about any of that stuff. It’s what I would do. You know you’d do the same if you were in charge of their marketing. It logically makes sense.

Their marketing always is a funny man. Kill the chicken and get the egg.
Today, Number is everything. Other mean nothing.

Any other way,
If you want to play PVP in HoT.

You except need to know skill rotation for your class and
You MUST need to know all other class their skill rotation.
If not, you just have two result:

1.You can’t make any damage for any enemy because of less touch time in that block block block 12345 rotation. even if you know that rotation. you also need to know How to Burst. If not, you still can’t make any kill or enough damage.

2.Dead in a Sec. The damage all are out of control because of less touch time. If you a New player that you don’t know how all other class skill rotation work and don’t make your def rotation. You sure Die.

If Anet think a new player can do above things that main they all are crazy. New player even can’t make a right time dodge. who want to play a game that die again again and again? how many ppls can keep to play it until they know all class skill? That why GW2 have this poor player base.

And you can take this for reference.

Where are HoT Power creep come from? -> RAID

example:
How to break a boss’s defiance Bar in 5 – 10 sec?
answer:
numerous CC skill ->
PVP… CC aoe , CC CD out of control

example:
How to make condi damage become MUST in raid?
answer:
condi can be stack and increase damage, make some condi hurting mode for boss->
PVP… condi kind , stack , time out of control -> cleaning become MUST -> cleaning CD , effect area out of control

example:
How to make long survival time and tank under raid boss’s crazy damage?
answer:
increase block , dodge , inv , movement , healing ->
PVP… less touch time , hard to kill people -> increase damage, boon stack out of control

example:
How to kill the raid boss/minions in a limit time and under raid’s crazy damage?
answer:
increase damage , def & off same time skill , AoE damage skill , AoE cc skill , AoE condi skill , boon stack , condi stack …… ->
PVP… Just put AoE in that smaaaaallll circle PLEASE!

Who know the best MMO of 2012 become this kitten in 2016?
Today, GW2 have this bad result.
I have to say :
Raid do their BEST Job. 5%ppls kill other 95%ppls
A Best Fail Model in Game History

Money!
But they going to wrong way. You can see LoL and Dota those successful game.
Today! Balance and Easy join = Number , Number = Money.
Gw2’s game mode and HoT PVP block block block 12345 + PVE Raid farm + Less update. make New player haven’t a well survival environment. So they have No Number = No Money.

break the low skill base and die like a kitten in high skill base. But ONE THING I am sure:
Their number is HUGE!

Now you should know why GW2 cannot keep their player base. New player in this game just a victim.

Welcome to Guard War 2!

I don’t like the word “carry.” It implies the other 4 people on the team are practically NPCs. As if they just /sit while one person does all the work. A carry is no participation required by the the person(s) being carried. That’s never the case.

If you want to move up in ranks, I think a better way to put is to say you need to overperform at lower ranks. That’s all there is to it. And that should be easy if you truly are much better than the players in the lower ranks and belong in a higher rank.

Ya, they are not NPC. They don’t /sit. Ho! They are resource of enemy revival.

Rally bots.

1v5 any group in a custom game. Let me know how that works for you. if the other 4 people on a team are indeed useless, then carrying yourself to a win should be no issue.

Let see a video learn why they down fast. In a SEC, ya! This is real! OMG!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeWtUkr-1MA

YA! But I don’t think this is responsibility of Noobs , New player , Low skill player. This is a responsibility of Anet. They make that horrible AOE skill.

lol. The main point is no need four. Just one or two. You will broken. Or see which team get the worst noob. I have a match that save ppls *8 times. Do you believe that? Noob and No exp player just go in DH trap and down then wait for your help. No more. How to carry them? How to stop them run in those trap? Or How to teach them use range attack consume the sustain of Dragoncancer first? I am no time for typing in a match when ppls down dwon down …….

Welcome DH meta Round 2

In GW2 you can’t carry your teammate that who cannot stand here for 5 sec. Even more unfortunate, when you finishing an enemy. They always come and down in DH trap for a SEC and help enemy revival. A SEC that mean they even don’t know how to make a dodge. Don’t know how do spam their rotation! If your carry them go to high MMR. You just hurt other people.

Noob and Low skill player also can’t make any damage in this block block block 1234 rotation system. They don’t know when is the window of that brainless rotation. They don’t know how to burst. They ALL just a trouble for your team. A chance for enemy revival. That why no one want to play with them.

Anyway, you can see that poor player base. New player do not have any chance in this game.

lol , when the game only have solo and double queue. All balance problem since HoT patch are coming. Look that DH meta. Look that Spam. Look that brainless Condition stacking. Look that block block block 1234 rotation. Look at LoL. Look at DoTA. That is a result of you want to balance a game in 5v5. Hey, Who want to get a team today? Teamwork is a old-fashion. Now day, nobody want it.

Are you Ready? Anet~

I don’t know why Skyhammer can add to rank. this is the terrible map like Spirit Watch, Eternal Coliseum(thief mes game), Revenge of the Capricorn(DH Trap in mid). They waste their resources on NEW Terrible MAP again again and again. Why don’t use resources to make a New Game mode?

A new game mode would also need new maps, so there’s that.
Also, a new game mode has been made, it’s called stronghold and see how that turned out.

Ho, one down? Next!

One thing i have to say: The Maps Of Conquest are Enough. Pls don’t design NEW Terrible MAP and try to add to Conquest PLEASE!!!

Justin ODell.9517:

I just checked the numbers for unranked arena.

Skyhammer has 7.5% of the votes, and is the map used in 7.2% of games.

I know quite a few people that enjoy the map, so I wouldn’t just assume only trolls vote for it.

7.2% ppls enjoy this map and make 92.8% ppls hate this game. Great job anet!
