there are only 40 core relics & a lot more than 40 runes... a lot more. so expect a lot of runes to be deleted

go look at the build you actually play to land big tasty gunflames & arc dividers http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PKgAQFlRwoYTMEWJO+KatKA-zZILBbHAA if this build is too hard for someone to counterplay I actually don't think they can be considered a good player, let alone an excellent one. furthermore even if the gunflames player is excellent they have so little tools to avoid death on the build that they are going to lose against much weaker players on stronger, meta builds. there is a reason gunflame isn't meta or seen in tournaments or at any high level play. it's a meme build, and if you don't think it's a meme build and think it's OP and hard to counterplay go try it out in ranked.

swapping endure pain for bolas is a gigachad move & deserves everyones utmost respect 🫡

Everyone in this thread needs to take a look at this build. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PKgAQFlRwoYTMEWJO+KatKA-zZILBbHAA Look at it. I even swapped out the stunbreak for bolas so it can do the feared combo that OP describes. Go take a look at this build a tell me if it looks OP, or like a complete meme. it has no blocks, no invun, no stab, no cleanse, no stunbreak, a 2k heal and one CC skill. is this really a strong OP build that can't be countered, or are people just getting outplayed by warrior rifle enthusiasts on a meme build?

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Rune this is the page for all the unique rune effects, and yep there are more than 40. so yeah a lot are going

if there is any single human being out there who believes anet playtests patches I would like to speak to them

2023 when NA has only 100 players in plat we have hit such a population and skill drought that we have a 'he used bolas on me there was nothing I can do' thread. a homie, a gamer is out there on berserker dedicating one of his utility slots to bolas on a full glass cannon warrior build and they are producing nerf threads because they set up gunflame with signet of might and bolas.

BOLA GOD

"A scrub is not just a bad player. Everyone needs time to learn a game and get to a point where they know what they're doing. The scrub mentality is to be so shackled by self-imposed handicaps as to never have any hope of being truly good at a game. You can practice forever, but if you can't get over these common hangups, in a sense you've lost before you even started. You've lost before you even picked which game to play. You aren't playing to win. A scrub would disagree with this though. They'd say they are trying very hard. The problem is they are only trying hard within a construct of fictitious rules that prevent them from ever truly competing." - https://www.sirlin.net/articles/playing-to-win a good read if you don't like being frustrated, and do enjoy the experience of learning. if you don't enjoy learning or losing, as I guess will be the case with Burnfall here- don't play pvp modes if you don't want other players to use skills on you. it's really easy to avoid. I mean sure you can't use skills on them now, but think about it. do you really want to use skills on other players but not want them to use them on you? if that's the case you got some thinkin to do. maybe I come off too serious, but it's really important to not have mental roadblocks preventing you from being happy and satisfied.

dude you get gold matchmaking regardless as a plat player on NA. it's literally not worth the time and effort (I guess if you don't have a job or do anything with your life you can spend all your time deranking smurfs, but most people don't want to dedicate free time to this. I only did it between film contracts when I was curious what the bronze life was actually like) to derank a smurf for matchmaking, because you get the same gold players in your games regardless. it's a waste of time when the matchmaker doesn't have 10 plats to make a game with there is no need to even have a low rank smurf. you don't need to match manipulate to get high rank right now with the low skill low pop player base. just play whatever FotM spec is busted right now and rotate half decent and congrats top 50 players wowowowowowowowowow dead game.

if you need a trait to block enemy players from casting skills on you maybe wvw is not the gamemode for you 🫣 the game used to have a lot more passive traits that saved players from cc and damage, but most of them have been removed by popular demand. people want to fight players in wvw, not traits. people will do a whole entire pvp on top of you and that's OK, that's the mode 🤠 if it's not OK with you, can always play another gamemode where no one is going to do a pvp on top of you ☺️

if u don't wanna die, there is always Lions Arch?

No Die then..... Cry 😜 that's real skill gamers 😜

keeping a smurf account in bronze for this is more difficult than maintaining a high leaderboard position solo queue. it does work, but it's not worth the effort. getting the smurf to bronze and keeping it there is just too much work and time. plus, the population on NA is so small it doesn't make much of a difference in match quality at all, you just save the plat players some pips on loss. it's not really worth the effort at all. better to just duo regular. actually doing things like stomping and peeling for teammates is more powerful than any sort of match manipulation because the NA population is so dead you basically get matched with the same gold played regardless.

Two points Firstly, this is by design. Anet wants new players to get farmed by good players. Why else would they give new accounts 1200, gold 1 rating? New accounts in ranked should be in bronze and have the opportunity to play with low skill players, and be able to climb the ladder as they learn. But nope, anet gives new players gold 1 and makes them fight golds climbing to plat and the plat players themselves. New players get matched with people with years of experience on their first ranked game. No wonder all the new players don't continue playing PvP. The system is designed to make sure they get farmed. second point, it's less important so no need for bold. basically it's this, I doubt there are enough plat players, especially in NA to actually make full plat games. I think if you restrict it to the same rank for matchmaking you might end up as a plat player in queue for over an hour with no game. However my counterpoint would be that as a plat player, PvP is so putrid right now I'm not even playing so I wouldn't actually care kekw.

1200 rating for new players in ranked in unhinged. people should start at bronze, not gold. new players in the same game games as people climbing to plat serves no positive purpose at all.

yes grass is green the need for MH pistol is even more apparent after the beta

one boon. what a joke anet.

great I can use an awful offhand then swap back to shield

https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Red_Resign do you guys really want spvp dead?

dude you think any time you are losing it's a wintrade, then you go afk. if I had the ability to block you from my games I would. all you play is longbow soulbeast, which is zero value in the current anti projectile high mobility burst meta and go afk when the enemy team has the upper hand because you're delusional and think it's a wintrade. neither your build or your attitude are conducive to a win. you've even insisted that me and the person who has got me to come on NA to duo with them are team USA alts. to this day I can't decide if confusing my WvW player peepo warrior gameplay with a monthly winner is supposed to be a compliment or not kekekekeke

yeah, but you've got enough of a reputation on NA thru flaming and going afk after the first midfight that I know a ton of people who throw games when they see you on your team cos they just don't like you.

look the truth was hidden inside you very own post!!! suprise!!!

y'all realise this is because a new account starts at 1200, Gold 1 rating. this is why game one is you getting farmed and flamed by gold and plat players. because the matchmaker is treating you like one and expected you to play at gold level on your first ranked game. i seriously doubt most new players can do this, and why would they be able to? they are new. the new player experience should be bronze rank with the plebs and climbing. give them some easy fun low skill games to start with. why anet throws new players to the plats and gold is beyond me. no one enjoys those games, and I bet it causes tons of instantl quits from PvP. anet needs to do a hard MMR reset and change the default to bronze, and just let the community climb for a season and establish actually accurate skill ratings. the system of putting a new player as gold 1 and expecting them to just get farmed (and ruin players who are trying to climbs games) until they get to an appropriate rank is actually moronic. I don't think anyone can argue this stupid choice isn't costing them players. I don't think there is any argument that can be made to support new players at 1200 rating. it needs to be changed.

new accounts are still going to be 1200 rating. so even if you limit yourself to gold/plat1 for games you will not be able to escape brand new players. limiting matchmaking when the matchmaker itself can't even use ranks to differentiate skill levels because gold 1 is brand new to the game is meaningless. matchmaking would be significantly better if people started at bronze and had to climb, instead of being thrown in with plat and gold players trying to climb on their first game.
