Wsr full with toxic cele gankers cheaters noobs only sad trash who are affraid of 1v1 only win numbers

There is a HUGE difference between being having to Shoot > About Face > Run, and just straight up not even have to face your target. That is what i meant by my comment

The ele pistol is by far the most garbage weapon they have released so far. They took 0 of the feedback given during the beta. It is simply a 10 times worse version of the scepter. Overcomplicated bullet mechanic, low amount of combo finishers, absolutely putrid damage in WvW ( both power and condi ) , completely and absolutely countered by reflects and projectile destruction effects ( other ranged classes have similar issues but atleast they can swap to a 2nd weapon ). The fact that the scepter allows you to kite much more effectively by being able to cast spells behind your back, while for absolutely every pistol spell you need to be facing your opponent. Also for some reason they decided to do a *condi* weapon...ALL ele weapons are hybrid dmg , they always have been, they can be used for power and condi builds...not anymore! You will do kitten all power dmg on the pistol and be happy with it. The pistol should've been an offhand weapon. Ele offhand needs variety. Ele needs an offensive 900-1200 offhand weapon. Or a 1200 range two hander would've been cool...

Many skill tooltips are bugged. Also it is impossible to create an arena from decorations , as they completely bug out shadowstep skills , LoS, and port skills like thief rifle 4. Decors break pathing on steal and shadowsteps, shiro engages.. The only decors that don't completely break these skills are the arena obstacles. Which ( guess what? ) can only be used in the arena. ALSO normal decors require a special way of glitching them in the arena to even be placed there. And you can't really place them as they need to be floating in the air for that, which introduces a whole set of other bugs. Basically if you want to fight your friends and want to create your own custom arena that doesn't break 50% of the skills in the game, just stick to private PvP arenas. Me and my guildies basically spent 60+ hours trying to develop a custom arena, we scratched many cool custom arena designs simply because so many skills were bugging out. At the end we settled for the GH arena with some added in arena obstacles and glitched in decors ( which still has some bugs that we will just have to live with) It's such a kittening headache it's not even worth it... Oh also the decoration placing system is complete trash. Oh also the Guild Hall decides to randomly create new instances. Like listen, I was super hyped for this update. But looking at it now its completely unusable and only really worth it for some funny fights with friends where you wouldn't care about LoS , dripping out of combat, bugs...

Blarp stronkest kitten ele in deso

Hot take. 🔥 If anet removed all boon duration from wvw ( relics runes stats traits) the game will be in a much more healthy state. Some classes will still have a ton of boons but that can be easily adjusted later. What do roamers hate? Perma boon cele tanks. What do zergers hate? Boon blobs. Just remove boon duration, make the use of boons matter rather than just having them up all the time. You can still have hybrid builds, you can still have tanky builds. But having an insane boon uptime when boons are as strong and impactful as they are just makes everything 10000 times worse.

Honestly dude, i used to hold a very similar opinion.. I used to think the reason ANET doesn't make any effort to balance/adjust small scale fights is because the overall majority of people engage with WvW by zerging, and hence they only worry about zerg meta, and most if not all changes in WvW are usually aimed at large scale fights where people run meta builds, and there is a clear structure to the squad with people covering boons/cleanses/strips/damage/heals etc... But the truth is that the people who run meta builds and organized squads in voice are not the majority of players in WvW... And most of total gameplay during single 1 week matchup in WvW is not zerging with meta builds either... Sure, they can have a 50 man squad and at first glance it looks massive, but most servers ( at least in EU ) have 2, maybe 3 commanders on the very very stacked links, who can pull off numbers like this spread on different maps...aaand server/link active WvW players are usually much more than that. Just think about how often those commanders have issues moving their squads to other maps, because of a queue. That queue is usually not generated by a friendly squad of 50 players on that map, but its usually cloud/pugs/roamers who take up the majority of slots on a map. The majority of players in wvw either run around alone ( cause they are pugs/pvers ) and flip camps/dolyaks for that sweet sweet participation, or they join open tags which in 90% of cases dont require any sort of meta builds because they usually aim at PPTing / clouding .. Those people , like it or not, can be considered roamers.. or are the very least are engaging in gameplay that can be considered roaming.. Yes they arent running a roaming build and repping a roaming guild, and they wont siege and BM you to no end if you dare /laugh at them..But they arent zerging with meta builds either. Most of what happens in WvW falls under those circumstances - smaller fights around camps/sentries/shrines/around SMC/towers.. If you are a dedicated WvW player and you play the game mode for multiple hours a day everyday, you will notice that most of the gameplay that happens is not revolved around the gameplay that anet balances the game around.

Although I don't agree with 100% of what OP says ( cause he's new and lacks experience/ knowledge ) it is also soooooo sad that a new player like OP has a better understanding of the gamemode than 50% of wvw players.

Anet doesn't care. If anet cared they would fix it or give warnings/ban to people who exploit. Pls note its an exploit, not a hack. Exploit means it's a bug in the game that anyone can do if they know how, no 3rd party app involved . It's as much of an exploit as any other "new patch makes X skill/trait broken which people abuse until said skill/trait gets disabled " with the only difference that this bug has been around since the maps came out I believe...imagine how many years anet have received reports screenshot videos.... they really don't care about it.

The servers that we won against in order to stay in t3 were weaker than us during prime time and didn't have a night crew to flip the map...also chances are their map was flipped by the 3rd ( usually German server ) that did have a night crew. I'm not gonna lie, when we are active wsr is strong. But when we get matched against ppt machines we can't keep up due to nonexistent players during the night/ early hours. My whole rant was that wsr is considered full despite that fact that we have pretty much no people during night/ early hours..and that servers that have 24/7 activity are not full... During prime on wsr you will see a 20 to 40 queue on ebg, and at most a 10 queue on an alpine border...compare that to the massive queues some other links have AND them having night crews... it just doesn't make sense really

WSR no link again :))) Im not sure what anet does to determine player activity and server population? WSR is only active during prime time, any other time we are outnumbered 10 to 1. Our k/d might be high, but that doesnt mean anything in regards to winning our MU and moving up the ladder. We get out PPT-ed by night crews and early morning people, because we simply dont have people to fill those voids . Literally login on WSR after 12pm and you will see 5 people in EBG on our side, while enemies have 50+ zergs flipping everything unopposed... idk how super stacked servers like FoW and RoS continue to get links ... idk how german blob servers like abbadon / drakkar / riverside keep getting links... During the last 3 weeks we kept having to fight german servers as we went down the tiers due to lack of PPT, they literally have coverage 24/7 Literally login at 3 AM and you will see a 40 man german zerg flipping the map... How is this not considered high activity? It doesnt matter how much we farm them during prime, we just get out-PPTed during the night/morning. And then a slow decent to t5...

The problem is that now more than ever people roam with condi kitten builds because of the nerf to antitoxin. In the past this wasnt that big of an issue since you could invest into antitoxin rune for double cleanses while trading out some of your damage. With the new relic system, this was basically nerfed ( 5 sec ICD ) pretty hard, so much so that condi tank builds became more popular. ( dagger mirage / condi zerker are the new additions to the condi type builds you will face in roaming ) And now with this change to 10 second CD its just laughable. I have no problems with condi builds, or tanky builds but even before the expac the balance in popularity between power/cele builds in roaming was tilted towards cele, and with these changes it will go towards cele even more.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PegAo6lFw8YWsQWJW8TqrNA-zRhYVRDCXMID2wgDKAAA-e Something like this I used to run antitoxin rune, but with the new expac i think you can do something like Pack Rune and Relic Antitox or Speed Havent really done any core engi roaming yet with SOTO For Sigils if you run antitox, you can probably drop the cleansing and go for doom/torment. Otherwise Cleansing/Torment is nice

Honestly I don't necessarily agree. However it is pretty obvious that it's nowhere near as absurd as cele willy harbi cata . But that's just because those classes are overloaded with power...

Thanks buddy!
