Actually core d/p is pretty fun. I play it atm in plat despite the scourge/fb/mirage/sb plague. I can also see some crazy engi builds in there (have faced some hipsters in the ranked before, they did pretty well). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vyrulisse.1246 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 It's the beginning of a good idea. We need them to bring back Flux effects where you get bonuses for playing a certain way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilyanna.9361 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 People would just roflstomp you guys even with core. Does it actually matter at this point? You are still going to get the classes that dominant. Core War Core Thief Core Guard Those are the three you would fight against on every team and you will STILL qq. This will change nothing.

I'd much prefer core pvp. Beside that, F2P players can't post here. Core PvP will be even more squed than what we currently have.

This is probably the worse case of safe box syndrome I've ever seen. You basically made the most boring PVP in actual existence and put the game on training wheels.

It's kind of startling that people think "safe-box" is a game without passive procs, teleport spam, on-demand invulnerability and un-telegraphed attacks. My dude, plenty of games thrive just fine using damage sources that people can see clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dude, plenty of games thrive just fine using damage sources that people can see clearly. That is literally like taking a fighting game and then cutting out almost half of the characters and expect people to play the game. Amulet: Getting rid of Menders? Weak Celestial? You already have been discredited by having problems with probably one of the weakest amulets. Weapons: Funny how you find these weapons to be a problem? Getting rid of focus on Ele? Oh, I see you want to make it pop like a cherry. I see no survivability, very nice. Banned Classes: Taking content out of the game LOL. Get out, you don't even deserve to make suggestions like this. Every single Dev would laugh at you. Don't make video games, you'd lose business with one of the most weak PVP scenes. Edit: No elites. Let me just copy and paste this post on my guild Skype and discord so they can get a roll tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furious.2867 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Pvp was super fun up until early summer 2015 and went downhill onwards. I actually took a long break after HoT was released and decided to return with PoF but now ready to take a break again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodzynald.5897 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Uhm... at least with core there wouldn't be so many situations when everyone is dope and buffed. Currently we have a lot of stuff flying around where most classes are capable of doing multiple things at once, or are full of shenanigans. For example, notice that hammer guard is not mobile and doesn't have sustained healing or any gimmicky mechanics like passive invulnerability (2k heal from medi is burst healing, not sustained healing FYI). Not to mention a lack of strong defenses apart from 2 seconds of protection from hammer, ring of warding and shield of wrath. I strongly believe that introducing elite specs was practially the main reason why it all went down and ESL dropped GW2. It was just too much of everything at once. Why I think that? Because I've never really encountered that much salt and toxicity before HoT. I enjoyed PvP back then. P.S. Now that I think about it, if meditations weren't burst heal but minor litanny of wrath, let's say 10% damage to health (stacking up to 40%) for 5 seconds (stacking duration) with every meditation you pop if traited. That would make for an even better high risk/high reward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
