I can bet you my lunch money OP is far more experience then you in Spvp. I can pretty much bet you my life that the OP a better dueler, ranked, and a much better conquest player then yourself.

Imagine thinking that this entire topic is only a "LTP" issue if that was the case then same could of been said for Necros and Firebrands.....

Quality of players has dropped so much over the year it's freaking insane @"mes.4607"

-Trunks

no. Simply No is the actual answer to your question.

IF you really want a full detail as to why feel free to msg me.

only "roles" i can think of are side noder, Support, and Roamer.

That's all the roles you need to know /care about.

Back on topic the role of any class is literally determined by the build they are playing on...... It's either Team Spec for fights , Roaming or Side noding. That's all depended on what the hell they plan on running or using. In most cases it's Team fighting or Side noding.

> On the last part of my original post i wrote " Im tired of seeing players add there 2 cents who don't even play" i added a few of you who seem to be clueless and sure enough your names dont even show up for the last 2 pvp seasons

I can promise you that my name wont show up at all on the LB for the last 5 seasons and I can promise you that I'll have more experience and knowledge then you would ever get from this dying game. The Leaderboards don't mean jack shit, and never has to be fairly honest. The single thing that holds any value at all in this game is the Monthly tournament and that's it. If you cant get into Semi finals then you probably shouldn't talk about experience or bringing up people "ranking" as a sign of being more advance then them.

Ranger or Deadeye

without a doubt.

No, Simply put just no.

They have explained to you how it works and how it is.

You literally just suck at the game and can't climb up or hold a level of rating. I don't even play the game anymore and whenever I get back from doing placements (usually end up in g2) it takes no more then a week worth of trying to get into p2 either alone or with a buddy.

It is not based on "number of days". It is based on "number of games played". If you were to do all of your placement games on the very last day of season, you would also be getting +50 results for the first few games.

Whether it is 1st day or last day of season is irrelevant. You will always get high +/- for you first ~10 games, medium +/- for your 10th to 30th games (roughly) and low gains thereafter.

You want the best possible results then play during the OFF hours and Camp easy rating with a solid duo or better yet do what SOME OF us do when we are extremely fucking bored of this game. Go onto Twitch and Solo Q into some of the streamers that are doing Spvp and are above Gold this would either get you into a stack team or a shit team.....but it's fun either way.

Good luck and stop crying about the system.

biggest complaint i would have is probably the players that continue to hope for the best for this game and make threads nonstop to try and get a change to happen knowing it'll never happen. Everyone that USE to be Great or Solid at the game has literally given up on this game over a year ago. The Lack of Updates, Hot Fixes, Communication, Special Tournaments and Support from the devs has literally killed the game mode. It was Bleeding for a bit but at least every year we'll have 3-4 solid tournament's where we can enjoy the meta and streamers but after 2020 and the huge change to damage has killed everything off for players that even took this game serious.

This game is never ever going to get better because of the devs lack of respond and effort. Move on and stop wasting time on the forums.

throw mine 100% needed a cooldown increas but to double it was a bit of an overkill and Bat ram shouldn't of been touched imo.

who knows? Unless you keep up with Ben on twitch/streams from some of the gw2 players we wouldn't know jack shit on when a patch is suppose to come out unless he throws a hint or tells us directly. People still hoping the best for this game and yet not notice the insane lack of support people are getting for any info directed about the game mode.

imagine thinking that anet actually cared for it's player base that wanted to actually enjoy it's "pvp". They haven't done a single good thing at all within the last 2 years for this game mode so why do you guys continue to make these post that go unnoticed ?

They clearly don't listen nor care enough to make the effort as they claimed. Example following to this would be the fact that they literally haven't posted a single thing to inform anyone at all about whats the plan for the game mode lol or better yet a statement as to why they been radio silent for close to 6 months now for the game mode. If ya'll want to really see a change then leave the game and move onto something that would actually get some attention till they decide to make a difference for the community. Feeding into their lies over and over again is pretty depressing to see especially knowing that they do 1 solid balance patch and then go back to hiding.

PvP is dead, Monthly is Dead/Boring, Na hardly has Players, WvW in Na is dead, EU starting to die down and theirs absolutely zero tournaments worth even playing in for this game from what little the community puts up.

i have 6 hours on thief..... they counter power mesmer, chrono and mirage.

Any idiot that say's otherwise should probably stop playing thief LOL.

how the hell are u guys having such a hard time still after the nerf they got? Matter fact the only two necro builds i seen have been reaper and condi core necro that no longer runs deathmagic at all.

How the hell are u guys still struggling this much with a class that has close to 0 stability up time and very little damage over all if traited for condi? DE, Ranger, Rev, FB, Core Guardian, and even Power Mirage or core mesmer all completely destroy necro with no support assuming both players are around the same level.

Forums has 100% become a joke.

Any sort of communication at all at this point would be highly appreciated @"Ben Phongluangtham.1065" as it sits now currently no one really looks to do the At's anymore because of the Lack of reward for the duration it is. Theirs no real teams doing it either because no one wants to sit for 2 hours beating random players just to earn 25g.

Can we please Either Increase the Gold gained for first place winners to 50g which would then increase the quality of players by 10 fold. If gold increase is a concern then how about giving players More mystic coins ?

Overall Swiss should ONLY be a thing for the Monthly tournament and not for the Daily At's , I think with the fact that now we all have a set time frame for when the At's are going to start players can actually set a time with a group of players to play them to improve and make them more enjoyable for the duration it lasts.

So if possible remove the swiss from Daily At's or Improve the rewards overall for the duration it takes because the 1g extra pre win isn't enough for people to continue playing it.

stealth gyro with a bubble that gives you stability and reflects projectile attacks wont make it easy to stop said class. Mesmer, Guardians, and Engi all have some sort of way to res fairly easy. Guardian gets an insane amount of stability , Engi Get stealth+Stability+bubble or Invul, Mesmer Gets Bubble, and Distortion then we have necro with res signet which isn't SO bad but when you start stacking so much other ways to get free res it kinda becomes stupid to a degree.

Not saying it's "impossible" to stop but for 2vs2 this shit is fucking stupid to deal with after getting someone down 3-4 times back to back. All I'm saying cleaving downs isn't anywhere as easy as it use to be after the nerf to everything going down hill yet certain sustain and healing traits were left untouched for god knows what reason. Ressing someone SHOULD not be so easy to do and for some reason after the patch it's become exactly that.

you should really sit down and re-look into the balance patch notes and then Look at the rework of explosives +scrapper trait line.

Even with the Nerf to "sustain" it'll still be good with the utilities engi are allowed to have/use. You also don't see the stab difference because you aren't trying hard enough to figure out what possible way can scrapper really get access to stab that Holo or Core aren't allowed to have after the balance patch.

Sit down , Reread the scrapper traits, Reread the explosive trait rework carefully, Relook at the Scrapper Utilities and Core Engi Utilities, Then take a look at the runes that went untouched.

Scrapper has a fairly high high potential of possibly being busted IF the explosive trait line is any good as it reads.

Condi Rev could be meta but unsure on how it'll do in 1vsX as a side noder. We won't know for sure till patch hits.

Ok....................... 5 evades isn't enough or a block from staff? Because that isn't good enough to give them insane burst and mobility with a teleport?

> Alright there, step down off your pedestal. I'll worry about me and how I play so don't go making assumptions like you know best. I don't really care the reason for the win rates. It's clear though that something is not working like it should for that to be happening. Like I've asked in other threads, go find me a main stream PvP game with a ranked team mode where the win rates are that high of top players. I'll wait. 70% is about the upper limit of what should be possible and that would take some serious skill and a good dash of luck. 90% is ludicrous and no one should be taking any kind of ranked system seriously that produces those numbers.

If you don't care then what was the purpose of the post? Seeking some sort of attention from other players?

Like you seem to not grasp or understand that This Game Is Dead and The Game Mode Called Spvp Doesn't have enough Players to support the system that's in place. The Difference Between Overwatch, Dota, League and any other real Competitive rank game is the fact that they HAVE players and a bigger number to work with unlike gw2.

Should probably step off the forums and actual research some of the issues that's been going on for years.

This entire Post is so full of misinformation.

Is it really hard for players to get a win rate that high? No, Play whatever busted at the moment with someone who's able to help carry games and Camp/Farm every random player who has no idea how to play. Do this none stop during off hours and you'll have a stupid high win rate. This is easily done with anyone with a brain and has an understanding on how Conquest works.

The Game Population is shit in NA so people play during Off hours to farm horrible players to win rating and keep a high win ration. Noting with the system getting changed is going to help that.

theirs no teleport spots that makes some of them useless. If your a warrior playing for sides learn the no teleport spots and you should be fine.

however I do think this wouldn't be an issue if Sword /pistol thief and rev weren't busted at the moment. However we have a big balance patch coming so in till then let's just wait and see whats good.

Why we have a Ranger Pet allowed to DOUBLE CC and Deal Close to 10k on damage? How is this ok and not fixed yet? In no way possible should ANY pet deal anywhere near that damage regardless of traits. Not going to mention the fact that If done right it can legit be traited as an Unblock able CC LOL.

Please I understand Ranger are pretty annoying to deal with in most aspect and I agree to some extent they are somewhat over loaded with traits and skills but can we please not have a pet be able to meme players out of the random?

In case some of ya'll aren't aware the pet I'm talking about is Rock Gazelle. Nerf this Pet to the ground and I'll be ok with playing against any ranger in general but having to avoid so much of their other burst skills and also worry about a freaking pet that can possible meme in a 1hit k.o sucks ass. That's horrible game design and a horrible way to claim a win over someone.

I don't know about that however I'll be the first to say that ben and cmc has been putting in a great deal of work in getting things done properly lately. Matter fact they legit have been killing it with everything they mention/stated that would get looked into.

I just want confirmation if they'll give us the notes and when. All i'm asking for at the moment.
