just cut to the chase & give perma quick & alac whenever you are in a party of squad in PvE
its the goal they have in mind, so they should just make it a feature of being in a party or squad. if you need the boons for party or squad content, & they have to be apparently applied in a way that doesn’t take up an entire utility bar, or take lots of effort to upkeep- ie passive boon application. then what the heck, just roll the boons into the party/squad mechanic then everyone can play what they want & not have to do anything to keep the boons up.

How much stability does Mirage have? And, to take it one step further, how much stability does it have compared to classes it's supposed to counter with CC timing?
uhhh no one else can dodge after being cc’d they just dodge before it hits them. maybe you can learn to do this too?

"Winds of Disenchantment: Lowered the duration from 5 seconds to 4 seconds in WvW only.
Break Enchantments: Increased the number of boons removed from 2 to 4 in PvE only. Reduced the number of boons removed from 2 to 1 in WvW only."
Baffled...... SB already is useless in zerg Vs zerg why even bother giving us boon removal at this point
entire patch is full of nerfs to boon rip in WvW, and buffs to boons. considering how many boons people have now break enchantment is gonna just get rid of swiftness after the patch. spellbreaker kekw the class is getting harder and harder to justify playing at all

Sounds like a good way to increase (x2, x3) the already noticeable queues. Middle line will also dissapear and all matches would be a mix of silvers and plats, meshed together...
I love this forum.
they want to get rid of rewards for the losing team in ranked, discouraging PvP participation.
they want duo removed again, even tho it was added back by anet because a large amount of players quit when it was removed- especially higher rated players.
its like the goal is: how small can the pop get?

Oh, so it was on purpose.
I see.
Hopefully the buffs to damage, evasion, traits, mitigation, and utility cooldowns needed for thief to function scale appropriately. I don't think you've fully considered all the damage and init changes that would need to be made to justify the thief you wish to fight, but I'm sure if we ever come to that bridge you will understand then.
you mean like fighting any other class in the game that's not thief and can't hide in stealth?
yeah I think I'm ready for it. I think everyone is.
it's not like thief would need to buffed to better than the other classes, it just needs to be as good as rev, ranger or anything. unless of course you think thief has to be more powerful than all other classes for some reason... which considering thief only dies when it wants to right now, I can see how a thief player could have this belief.

Nerft or change stealth and give thief more life to compensate.
all skills with damage should reveal on cast. apply change to game then buff thief accordingly, I expect cooldowns on utility skills will have to come down etc.
it's the easiest fix for stealth, and even solves the thread complaining about moa, cos casting moa would reveal you- so no more stealth moas. all the unavoidable stealth openings would be something you could now counter play. awesome, great change.

Sure this is the fix you want?
I don't whiff in stealth anyway; a couple years ago people complained the aftercast for backstab into the ground so most thieves already adapted to this. Most stealth durations are so low we only get one shot at casting a stealth attack before reveal to begin with.
You'll break leaping in smoke fields. bound, cluster bomb, vault and heartseeker all do damage but serve as stealth tools. Those also happen to be some of the main ways you can be hurt by thieves.
well aware it kills most of the stealth stacking in the game. this means long stealth is hard to achieve and stealth is something that can only be used for short periods of time, unless a cooldown like shadow refuge is used which would be one of the few ways to get long stealth.
making stealth less available is a good thing. reducing the time someone can hide in stealth is a good thing. making it reveal on cast also gets rid of all the stealth gank combos that give you no option to react because they come from stealth (no reaction kills are a quit moment for most players, and a sign of a bad game imo).
it's an excellent change and would improve the game a ton.
all skills with damage should reveal on cast.
-
any skill cast with damage on it (that can hit enemy player) should reveal on cast. reveal on hit is dumb, make it on cast & buff classes like thief accordingly.

why not just use one of the GW1 modes that people actually enjoyed that didn't have a circle to bunker.
thats all the game needs really. a 5v5 mode that doesn't encourage bunker builds (the reason why conquest is bad btw). going to 1v1 is pure pepega, considering the game isn't balanced for it at all. 2v2 and 3v3 are already a mess, 1v1 will be worse.
honestly anet actually working on a project and iterating on stronghold could have been good. feel like sticking with a mode that encourages bunker builds when you don't want people to play them is just a pure moron move, so we need a new gamemode.
doubt we will get it tho. can't see any actual app changes happening again ever.

2. Make hard restrictions to who can Play Play with who, Legend Players should never get gold Players in their Team, even plat2 Players should Not be able to be matched With them, this almost Always ends in a toxic Interaction, where i would Bet, the lower rated Players rather quit directly PvP and never Turn Back to it, while the Higher rated players quit Overtime because the get so hard dissapointed.
Make Like that If you above 1550 you will only get Players from 1500+ in your Games, everything below is searching for 1549-1400. restrict it even more for people in lower leagues, Like as hard the skillgap is dropping in gold3 and below, These Players are still way ahead from silver players, they should Not get matched With them.
consider two points.
firstly, the matchmaker is not putting gold and plats in games because of an error, it's doing so because it literally doesn't have enough players to form two teams of plat players.
so if plats have to play with plats, they might not end up being able to play PvP at all.
secondly, a new account is assigned 1200 rating when they start ranked. how can a matchmaker make meaningful distinctions in player quality when a new player is gold 1?
I would suggest rating new accounts by default at 1200 is one of the reasons both player retention is so low, and it's also why gold has such a wide skill disparity. I would imagine the default rating being 800 or 900 would lead to much more balanced games, but what do I know. maybe gold 1 being new account is really the best way to set up MMR kekkekeke

Well I don't know how I seem but I try not to assume things too much and do try to hold onto hope and optimism as much as possible in every aspect of life. Who knows maybe at some point in time someone somewhere in Anet will develop a love for pvp and make things happen that will actually cause the game mode to become better. Crossing fingers that this person will also put back amulets & runes and solo queue and team queue🤞
would be cool, but we all know that everyday the sun sets and rises and anet doesn't give a toss about this gamemode

Bumped :Great idea
Anet you must block free to play accounts from ranked pvp at least, these people are the ones who are doing most of the AFKing
And they do it because they know they can without any consequence.
seems like you already know what anet is gonna do, nothing at all

missed this last time & really need some cool frosty warclaw in my life

new accounts start with 1200 rating in ranked, gold one.
new players on their first game are weighted gold one. how can anyone expect the skill rating system to work with any accuracy when a new player is gold....
it's actually a joke if gold one is 'my first PvP game' and they have to play with plats.

And, since noobs are mixed into higher tier games, playing a noob farming build is a great strat.
new accounts start with 1200 rating kekw. too true

yeah the reason that pvp is almost dead is because you cannot q with a 5 man premade team against 5 solo players... what nonsense
This has nothing to do with abusing 5 solo players with 5 man premade team. Getting rid of 5 man premades was one of anets best decisions.
if it was such a good move, why has the population been constantly falling? if the PvP mode is even better now, why do less people play?
I mean, WvW is even worse. you can abuse solo players with a 50 man premade there and it's the second most popular mode. no sign of it dying kekw

It would be nice for matchmaking and team balance if they would separate pugs from premades (solos from full teams), but the pvp population just isn't big enough for that, unfortunately.
For each of the players in here saying they want required premades only and berating anyone who disagrees, there are several more silent players who would just not play at all if that were the case. Then the same people here would be crying even more about how pvp is dead, queue times are so long, and they're always put against the same team every match.
"Careful what you wish for."
PvP pop was a lot larger and more healthy back when we had mixed queue. now it's just solo duo and the pop is so bad it can't even make full plat games.
perhaps removing the ability to play with your friends may have had an impact, in participation and in recommending the gamemode. I mean, it's a hard sell to say 'download this game we can't play together' lol.
I mean hey, maybe all of the pop drop is due to bad balance etc, but it's not like the patching or meta was even that good then. sad to say we are in one of the best patch cadences the game has ever had. this is not the worst meta either, and honestly before cata the meta was pretty nice.
I mean, maybe it's nothing and there is no connection between removing mixed and the population drop- but I still think about WvW. it's the other PvP mode the game has, and let's be real has been more neglected for both content and balance than even PvP. however it's still the second most played gamemode, the only thing that beats it in player numbers is open world PvE. so I look at two PvP modes, both hellishly neglected, and one let's you play with a single person and is dead with no community, and the other let's you play with 50+ friends at once and has tons of players and a big community. idk man, just a theory XP

It’s a bunch of reasons.
1. Boon and condi spam and a ui that confuses new players
2. Pace of the game increased making it harder to understand what is happening for new players.
3. Same game mode since launch
4. killing 5 man ranked and not promoting community interaction.
5. Infrequent updates to the mode
these are the the reasons honestly, only thing missing is no banning of afk or toxic players. years of afk with no bans have ruined the community.
no idea how I'm supposed to get my discord friends into ranked when me and my duo partner can't play w them so we just play WvW. literally can't recommend a gamemode we can't play together.

U wouldnt get farmed “occasionally”. U would get farmed until you would log off or the 5man q would get bored of farming you. And no, ur 5 man stacks would never win 24/7 geeks.
Also did u think, YOU COULD WINTRADE WITH NO ONE KNOWING LOL. Thats why there is no special titles in 2v2 or 3v3 and thats the reason this is miniseason, not main season.
What if u arent 5 man, but are 4 and get one guy soloqing, that guy is better than your team and does not even want to start playing. Your forum post would be about this then.
U DONT COMPETE, LET PEOPLE WHO WANT TO. Why would they remove it? MAT is even less fun because same team usually wins it like 12 times in a row. U really think same team being best entire year would be fun if 5man q?
At the end of a day rating has meaning, because good player stuck in g2 does not exist.
Because I am very smart, I will think this for u: THEN QUEUE AS GUARD SO U WILL BE VS THAT AFKING DH! Free win right? Just don’t be sad if you will end up getting farmed by him..
awesome, your solution is to manipulate the matchmaker, very uh, how do they say, is it 'cash-money'?
hey, maybe it would work if the DH was the only afk player I had encountered, but sadly he was just an example and not the sole afk player gw2 has to offer.
as far as the same team winning MAT all the time, yeah I already know and don't care. it's been this way for years, and doesn't matter to me at all.
as for the same players occupying the top of the leaderboard season after season, well we already have this. I'll bet that with 5 man Q it would still be the exact same players at the top of the leaderboard, maybe a few less alt accounts that's all. literally no difference at all. 5 man, solo, duo it's the same players at the top.
is there unranked? sure, but the player quality is awful and few players are even playing to win. farming noobs in unranked is only fun for a few games, shock horror I like a challenge and would relish fighting those so called geeks. sure you think we will never win, but I've taken matches off players like Vaanss when he has a had a full team in AT and I've been with my duo partner and LFG pugs with no voice coms at all. maybe with an avenue to practice we would improve as a team, and grow into those geeks you so fear.
regardless, I'd rather play the game with my team and lose than have the match decided by an afk- every- single- time.
sure, just delete unranked and give it ranked rewards so people actually play it seriously and try to win. I'll play that with no afk players on my team. I'm down. honestly if anet actually banned people so people wouldn't afk I would be totally fine with duo queue, hey but let's be real anet actually moderating PvP is as delusional as thinking the population will rise and the matchmaking will be fixed like that. won't happen.
honestly I'm a simple human. I'm just a gamer, who wants to play video game with other people who also want to play the video game.
if anet doesn't want to ban afk players or do anything for the current matchmaker I see no other solution than being able to choose my team and fix what anet refuses to myself.
1 hour ago, Filip.7463 said:LEGIT ANSWER WOULD BE: DONT ALLOW PEOPLE TO DUOQ IF THERE IS 150 OR MORE RATING DIFFERENCE.
Because now people can que like duo 1800 + 1200 player, thats 1500 average, get 3 p1 teammates and play vs 5 p1 players.
Thats fair.
Oh, forgot to mention, the “1200” player is actually 1800 but on smurf.
now this is a wild take. actually assuming the matchmaker has enough plat players to make a full game of two plat teams. now that's a big meme. I fight the top 10 players on all of my accounts, regardless of what rating the account is on. plat 2 I face Boyce, gold 1 yep still Boyce and the top 10. the game is so devoid of players it doesn't seem to matter what my rating is I get plat + gold + silver in my games.
but yeah sure, go restrict duo Q and make people quit just like they did last time anet restricted it. people can quit, the pop can drop even further and the matches can get even worse. awesome solution.
people will still afk. people will still wintrade. pop will still be too tiny to make good matches. same people will be Q dodging and playing at off hours. people will still smurf. nothing will change at all except players who used to be able to duo won't be able to and will quit thus further reducing the population.
Anet needs to start balancing PvP for the average player
in Player vs. Player

low skill level players in any PvP game will always be unable to handle any burst dmg builds.
have fun balancing for people who don't run stunbreaks or use dodge key.
you'll end up with builds like rifle auto mecha which is easy enough for noobs to play, but since it does dmg no noob can fight it. DH is also a great build for noobs to get easy kills on other noobs with, and is completely hated by the noobs who just stand on point in AoE not using skills and dying. go figure lol.
I don't think you can actually give noobs an easy to play dmg build and not have all the others noobs hate the build because another noob can kill them with it.
