Guild Wars 2

This season in a nutshell.

I’m about to get my 24.5k and I’m only getting 1 laurel, so enjoy your extra laurel

This will sound like a rant and it kinda is….. For more then 3 years I’ve been enduring Anets extreme lack of PvP support, but I think I’m finally done with PvP. I’m not even going to list all the problems that GW2 has atm, because there are good threads on a daily basis that just get completely ignored by the devs. Avoiding the hot topics won’t save your game. We care a lot for the state of this game and ignoring us just feels like one big “kitten you” to be honest, when you’re claiming how you’re always listening to your playerbase and I’m not talking about the rage threads. Every patch has it’s problems I am aware of that, and an addon even more, but the way you handle constructive criticism is just terrible. There was a thread lately (pretty much daily at this point) where someone pointed out people are getting stomped by premade teams while playing solo and you finally answered. And your answer was?

Justin ODell.9517:

I’m really curious as to how you guys are figuring out if the other team is a pre-made. We don’t tell you, and looking at the data there are very few party rosters compared to solo.

Is it just match quality being bad? Are you just recognizing player names?

Are you serious? All the talk about Solo PvP problems and this is your answer? It’s not that hard to realize, when you get stomped by a five man team with everybody having THE SAME GUILD TAG…… no SoloQ is a huge problem and you know it, and giving an answer like that makes you look really really bad.

Every single thread where they gave us an answer were either about technical issues, which I’m completely fine with, and the other half were ESL tournament related which probably brings Anet the most money PvP wise and at this point, it just makes you look greedy. You need to make money, I’m not that stupid, but for the love of god give us some feedback to the all the other problems! Don’t just ignore us. For years people have been writing topics about how unbalanced the matchmaking feels and the huge time it takes you to bring new patches, only to see that they created a ton of new ones. PvP feels unfinished since launch and considering your low support it probably always will.

So please Anet, at least give us some information. Hell at this point I would be satisfied if you’d just make a thread saying, that you guys are focusing on PvE and PvP Tournaments because of the money. But promising changes and advertising your great player support is just wrong.


PS: English isn’t my first language, so please bear that in mind

Isn’t Zhaitan like 10x times bigger then Teq and he still fly like a bird..

Zhaitan is ALL BONES, no flesh whatsoever Even if I jumped of a roof myself I would have a better gliding pattern… And trust me, no matter how fast I flap my arms, I have the flight pattern of a brick with fear of heights.

Thanks for this thread. I need a break from all the stupidity people are throwing out there today. It’s beyond ridiculous. There’s more whine here than when they introduced upgrade stones into Heroes of the Storm alpha, and that was a legitimate issue

anet watched the trio tourney and was like “no team wiped at lupi?! time for a stealth buff”

My first kill like that without rng farming :P

Some little changes can be made (not all at once):

- Use a Dagger/Focus build
- Use an Energy sigil
- Switch to 66002 for more Vigor on Crit
- Add more block and/or stun break: Arcane Shield or Signet of Air for roaming
- Always stay at max melee range (300)
- So you can observe the enemy’s tell and dodge. Usually try to dodge the ones that have long winded animation
- Use Lightning Hammer or Sandstorm against a group of mob
- Use Glyph of Elemental in Earth as a temporarily tank
- Use a bigger heal skill. Either Glyph for extra boon or Ether Renewal for condi cleanse
- Use staff if you want to keep an extra distance from a group of mobs (and it gives an extra dodge too).
- Use steal-health food buff.

EcoRI.9273:

Yea what happened rT? Did the jitters get to you guys? I know my team was super nervous both days and did some questionable things.

This is so no secret and has been stated many times in the past. We are a guild of solo’ers. We dont do dungeon tours. We rarely do dungeons together outside of pugging or joke runs. The only times you see groups advertised in guild chat is to leech dungeons or to join a semi pug. Theres really no inter guild common tactics or major familiarity because of this. Which means we dont expect to do well in tournaments where we get paths we dont play much. However records are different. The only time you see full guild groups playing together regularly is when attempting records. But we are kind of still inactive so thats not happening at the moment.

Maybe things will change after HoT has released.

God kitten it, rT, get your kitten together, my fanboyism is hurt! :’c

Its all part of our major plan! Fear not!

In order to bubble the Shaman has to use a skill, which has a cooldown. Skipping bubble phases happens if you have enough DPS that you push him over the boundary where he would normally bubble before the skill comes off cooldown. Once the skill comes off cooldown however he will use it immediately regardless of health.

You can kill him straight after the 1st bubble even at 50, but its easier at lower levels. Skipping just one bubble phase is pretty reliable at any level.

If you deep freeze him before he phases and push over the 25% boundary he’ll just use the bubble after the stun ends so you won’t get much out of it. It best to use when he comes out of the bubble so he won’t do anything but his firestorm during his enrage timer which increases his dmg by roughly 2×.

And for the shield stacks you need to target him to take them down but as long as you have 1 staff ele either shouldn’t be a problem since they can chill him for a rather long time with frozen ground giving you plenty of time to deal with the adds.

Erebus.9276:

Hi, I’m Bob.

Hi ey’m Cleetus.

I play a scepter/torch guardian and have been getting massive grief from everyone I party with in the lfg tool.

I feel ya son, man when I be sittin’ out on dat dere porch some ‘noons to watch teh cattle munchin deh grass and them trucks pass by I get some serious hate to. They be drivin past yelling ’watchu doin cleetus?’ and ‘How yer sister doin Cleetus?’ My advise to yer is to just stop an’ thenk ‘bout why dey hate yer so much. I have figured out teh reason and eye’m pretty shur it’s universal my frend, they just be reel jealus. yer see most people be just liek teh cattle outside my winder yonder, dey got the herd mind set an’ they be playin the ‘meta’ all the way to the slaughterhouse, they don’t see dat dere downed state comin.

This is my build and I can crit over 600 with my burning so I know my personal damage is fine. Yet I constantly get people yelling at me and even some death threats and its really ruining my immersion.

Now here’s teh theng, my mooma always used to say, if dey wan yer dead then they havent yet found teh lord, cuz if dey had they would understan that bein dead don mean nothin when teh lord and saviour Grandmaster Mind Brain be waiting for us at them toxic pearly gates. I personaly know that burn dmg is reely good, why jus this morning I burn a whole bushel o’ crops i dun want anymore because I need to prov to me neighbors that global warmin’ don exist.

I haven’t even been able to craft a single piece of dungeon gear because I’m constantly booted and its just so wrong and frustrating. People say these instances are not that difficult yet people treat them so seriously.. My faith says to forgive and forget but this is just so crushing. Help?

yer faith be fine my frend, ferget these horrible peeple in yer life and if yer cant do that then watch Oprah shows, u know the ones with teh deepak chopra specials, get some of them goin. If yer still not feelin motivated in yer life then subscribe to a full box set of The Secret DvD’s.

Too much realism is a never-ending quest. You have to draw the line somewhere. Why can’t we explore areas not on the map? Why does that little 3 foot barrier stop me from climbing over into the next zone that doesn’t exist? That door I have to find the key for . . .why can’t I just whack it with my hammer until it is smashed to pieces? For that matter, why can’t I just go for a head shot (instant kill) on everything that would die instantly from a head shot? And all those stacks of Black Lion chests, why can’t I just open them with a hammer and chisel instead of hunting for keys? If they are indestructible, why don’t people make buildings out of them and stick them together with mortar? I suppose the resulting wall would not be indestructible unless you could get indestructible mortar as well.

Different games draw the line in different places. First person shooters let you trash the environment typically while massive RPG’s typically don’t.

I’m a scrub so you’d be fine but yeah, NA, grrr ANet.

I really wish NA/EU could group together

Sarah, glad to hear that I have to start ascending all my characters so they can all run higher level fractals but I’m just so lazy, lol.

Hehe then we should run sometime then, cause why not

is it supposed to bend that way?

Sweet sweet justice.

I got vote-kicked today. They came in, posed as buyers and stole the instance. I usually have a solid system to protect myself, but we werent’ quick enough in the second vote-kick attempt and I got booted out. Was so mad. Good thing I got their names.

Determined to get my instance back, I went offline. Like clockwork these filthy scum of the earth posted up an lfg of their own. Here is the kicker; they put in their lfg: [DnT] Selling P3 etc. HAH! Went back in, and with the help of some actual DnT friends, took back my instance, and blocked then reported them in-game.

Justice taste so delicious.
