Id like to see gw2 over take its predecessor in terms of pvp content and build diversity. But that probably wont happen in gw2 life span. If u take the dodge mechanic and put it into gw1 i feel that game can make a biiig comback.

Not all, not even close. Maybe only like 25% of the people that left came back with the duo q at most...with out a 5 man q you will never see the numbers pvp had in its esport era.

What made me stop playing pvp is the lack of content after 6 years. You know how many pvp/gvg game modes we're in gw1? More then you can count on one hand....the only constant content update for pvp in the past 6 years is balance updates every 3-4 months. For me that is not acceptable. And it wasnt acceptable for the esport scene either. A few teams actually quit matches that just started like 100-50 becuase of the devs refusal to do balance changes between tournaments. The bunker meta for the esport scene was terriblely not fun to watch.
The lack of attention is what drove me away from pvp and as far as pve goes, i dont really care for there story of dragons and gods.
So i just dont play gw at all any more. I loged on real quick a few days a go thinking one of my rl buddies might want to have a duo quo but in the end conquest is OLD and boring and we decided other games are more attractive then the 6 year old one trick pony/game mode that is gw2.. There is nothing in gw2 that screams play me.
And it brakes my heart i LOVED gw1 its pvp was top teir topest of teirs back in the day. And the devs promise at launch of gw2 having what gw1 had was a 100% lie. Alittle regret for falling for the developers tricks and lies, yes i have it.
Its called guild wars, not tyran wars, or world of tyria. And compairing that to gw1 the devs really dont understand that i feel from day one.

I apologise.

Theres obvious reasons why i hate fighting mesmers.
Clones that keep reapearing, like is that its only mechanic in 2 specializations and a core? Creating clones endlessly? If that wasnt a visual cluster mess they also have multiple detargeting skills along with the clones makes retargeting a nightmare.
But thats not all, this one is the one that pisses me off the most. Confusion. There is no internal cool down on it so if you ever want to attack the mesmer u just end up killing your self in the processes. This may not be a problem for the heavy hitters in this game like warrior holo necro ranger classes, but for the quick casting light low health classes like fa ele, thf, gaurd, 12+ stack of confusion will drop us in 2 seconds or less.
Im pretty sure in gw1 mesmer had more then 1 mechanic. Like it could specialize in hp negativity or mp negativity, cc master, or be duff master and more
But here its juat clones clone clone come one come all spam then clones till enemy is a dead man.
Heres a list of former gw1 mesmer builds vs the clonage that is now.
Build:Me/A JQ Wastrel's Capper

Build:Me/Rt GvG E-Surge Spike Mesmer

This is my fa build. Does good damage if the combo is set up properly. Pheniox into plasma beam into double air is my go to combo upon entering a fight. With stone resonance you can have upto 15k extra hp for a few seconds to help absorb almost any burst.
But once that is gone i need to dip out till noth charges are off cool down.

Do keep in mind that Anet hates eles in PvP and will continue to nerf our defenses and damage, leaving only self-healing troll builds who can only stall a point (when we have other classes like soulbeast, mirage, holo, spellbreaker who can not only stall 1-2 people, but kill MANY builds in 1v1).

Considering skill updates/balance happens every 3-4 months expect nothing to change in at least 60 days or more.
-
I got no answere when this was posted. wondering if this is a thing yet.
-
Ele has been left behind since 2014. No way to fix it with out a total class over haul from traits to base stats it all needs to change inorder to be on par with other support classes abilities and damage outputs.

10 thousand people viewed/read/ or participated in this thread. However devs seem to be avoiding it. Can we get some authority(developers) to make some kind of comment about these accounts please!

Theres a few reasons why i probably wont play this game in 2019. And this is just more iceing on the cake. 6 years and still no game mode for pvp same old conquest, 2v2 swiss is a fart in the wind. I have no idea when that will actually drop. In my veteran players mind theres more discouraging reasons to not play this game today then there ever was in the past.
-

For any new comer to pvp id say play a different game completely. 6 years and still only 1 game mode for pvp.

The most arcana sheild pops for is 3k. Its nothing to write home about.

Exactly, so why in a bazzilion years ever use stormsoul? It obvious they dony understand this, hense the creation of stormsoul in the first place. Lets hope it gets changed in another 3-4 months. Till then we have to just deal with the terribleness they created.
But we stick around for the excellent combat system they created. I Give created where its do. Its just the little things that need changing like skills and with more interactions with the developers we can stop none sence of redundtant and useless traits. Im almost positive that the player has voiced there thoughts idea and opinions on this form many many times. What we are missing is the developer contribution on this forum. I hope they will be better in 2019.

I wouldnt call this op of any kind but it is the build that i use. It has some very nice burst if you do it right and some decent survivability with 2 stone resonance and the trait. If used correctly it can bolster your hp 15k to absorb almost any burst that comes its way but you have to use it preemptively. Witch takes some kind of psychic powers to use effectively becuase its 1k barrier per tick for 5 ticks. And i belive if u have poision on u it will make the tick even worse. But it all ele has for survivability soo i use what the devs give me. It doesn't have much in long term fighting but if u can manage to land ur burst it will scare/or kill what ever it touches. It is really weak to condi but with the teleport you should be able to clear the distance quick enough to disengage and retarget to something else to surpise burst on.

Tempest defence also had the 10% damage modifier on disabled foes so saying that this is a new improved feature is 100% wrong. Stoemsoul vs TD is a complete slap in the face nerf.

Where does it say blind and immob count as cc? The populace call it soft cc but its not really cc at all.

When they said they don't want defensive passives to be too strong, I think endure pain falls into that category, same with the ranger signet of stone.
Ele shocking aura (tempest defence) was not strong what so ever. It never stoped any kind of damage, and against ranged targets it was 100% useless. All TD did was stop follow up MELE (whitch with the lowest hp and the lowest toughness was needed) attacks. It was a balanced trait. It was only usefull in certain sitchuation and completely useless in others. It was in no way shape or form over powered. And you can not compair it to a skill like endure pain that is an invul. Like come on an invuln vs a skill that doesn't stop any damage from hitting you.

I was already at the end of my survivial in a team fight. I wasnt 1v1ing the war at all. More like 4v4 and i had the war on me the entire time, thats what he managed to hit me with after a prolonged fight. How ignorant u gotta be to assume it was a 1v1 sitchuation. The answere is very.

For some classes damage is to high for others its not enough. Gaurds, Warrios, Necros, Mesmers, Holos, are all putting out enormous damage right now. so much so that any light class just gets eaten in seconds.
I main fa ele, and any holosmith, warrior, mesmer, gaurd, just insta kills me if i do not have defense abilities available like twist of fate, or obsidian flesh at the ready. Ele cant even take auto attacks without them hitting it for over 3k and im not jokeing.
What needs to happen is Normalizing everyone toughness so that were all at the same lvl so that this game can become 1 step closer to a balanced fight. The only way to get more toughness should be threw an amulet or build, not because of lore or original class design. Guild wars has moved beyond that and has become something more. Having unequal stat balance between professions in a fighting game is broken from the start. id really love to see HP and Toughness normalized but id take Toughness if i had to pick one.
Any Pvp plan for 2019?
in Player vs. Player
Posted
What are the developers goals, ideas, plans, hopes, and dreams for pvp in 2019.
In 2018 it was to release swiss and that didnt happen.
Im wondering what there goal for the new year of 2019 will be.
Any improvments or new game modes like a 2v2, and or a 3v3 system?
Or are we to expect the 7th year of gw2 to be the same as year 1-6 (5v5conquest only)?
