Give me arena

Just give me the fkn 3v3 arena. Me my brother and my friend will pay for it in gemstore purchases alone if we keep logging on to this map .____.

Been months since me and the friends logged on cos no permanent arena. Is pvp stagnant/dead as usual? Forgot the expansion even dropped... which is sad. So sad. Give me permanent 3v3 queues please

and also the ability to race change to this new race with paid services 🙂

I just made an asura engi cos i love them, but atm my main is a charr engi and i look smexy af, but occasionally i want to play different race same character, its annoying (like to the point i dont even bother trying) to swap all my gear sets and builds and that over. Will we get race changes any time soon? Imo it would be a huge influx of hard cash for arena net no?

We want spin to win back though

Make it a grand master trait for berserker to spin 3 times or once. Cos so many people love the old (middle actually) version rather than this new depressing version, and being able to choose between one spin and 3 in pve/pvp would be nice Ty

I have been begging for ranked 2v2 or 3v3 arena (either in wvw or spvp) with proper dedicated maps for years. Yearsssss

Yes... because like I said I didn't even step foot into EoD because there is no selling factor or drive for me to even go there lol.

yeah, i bought it only for the elite specs. They added nothing new, so I havn't even stepped foot in any EoD map. Theres literally no drive to go do EoD stuff.

I never understood player housing, but maybe that, + actual end game content. PvP has been dead for years, Spvp aint it, maybe do a full shakeup of arenas etc. Maybe a smaller WvW map for roamer/small scale, where you dont have to run around hoping for fair matchups/fights? Actual meta events that arnt just mindless tagging fests

Whoopsie. Oh yeah, well heres to hoping that they can do that on the PoF/HoT levels. To be fair, the restructuring of the professions, adding new weapons, and redoing all traitlines and combat is something I never thought they would do. I'm hoping they go over every single utility skill in the game and do what they did with guardian spirit weapons (the old ones that follow you around --> the new ones that are on use, or scorpion wire for thief, where they make it just better). Engi toolkit/flamethrower kit, as well as turrets, are the main offenders..

🥲 Which part, the HoT/PoF factor, or backtracking? Plz.... I need this game to be goooood

The next expansion (and others going forward) genuinely need to have the HoT and Pof Factor, as well as no more back tracking on design/goals. Overview - I quit the game for 2 years, right as EoD was announced. On coming back, I have had zero drive to go to EoD maps. Like i havn't done a SINGLE EoD thing, because there is no driving factor for me to go there. HoT added masteries (movement), and the map design was insane. Like looked really really good, the metas were difficult/engaging, but also able to be failed, introduced elite specs etc. PoF introduced MOUNTS. Like after years and years. And again, the desert maps are so pretty and have their own feel in the world of MMOs. I'll never forget getting my raptor, and running around those sand dunes just outside of Amnoon with taimi talking in my ear, that was so cool. But for EoD, there was no driving factor at all. I get that masteries are a little difficult to add on top of (as in its hard to find new masteries for people to work towards on that have the same impact as mounts and gliding/movement masteries from HoT), but kitten, all ive done was buy EoD and play arenas with my brother/friend, and that was it. Ive also heard really bad things about the story and maps for EoD content, so that particularly prevents me from even trying it out, because I'm not missing much The next expansion absolutely NEEDS something on PoF mount/HoT mastery levels. Some kind of new content for PvP, WvW, and PvE maybe (perm arena for pvp, finally doing something about wvw alliances, maybe add dueling hubs that rotate throughout the month all over the world that people can go to and duel for rewards etc. I'm not a full time PvEr so have no idea what would work for PvE, but something that isn't instanced, out in the open world that pulls players from other games to this one). Also, please stop back tracking. Its so bad. The most notable one is elite specs. On release, they were the most broken "upgrade" to professions that in 99% of the cases needed to be taken. Then you backtrack and say "ok nevermind, we want core to be viable too", then you release bladesworn, which compared to core warrior, my friends couldn't get me below 90%hp, not even joking. Don't even get me started on how long Harbinger was broken, legitimately broken for. Same goes for HoT Berserker. You release it, then change arcing slice for them to be 3 swings, which felt amazing, kudos, then you REVERT IT to one swing, which i get is not a net power loss, but the FEEL for using it just gutted the class fantasy. Not to mention blind/aegis/dodge rolls etc. It sucks when you announce something, then change it, then undo the change. But yeah I just wanna be able to log on to this game and have something to do, been begging for permanent arena queus with proper arena maps for years (selfish cos im a pvp player ok sure), but you need to make more content on levels with HoT and PoF. TLDR: New expansions going forward need to have HoT/PoF levels of "stuff"/content.

Why not? They do that already for wvw pvp and pve. Even if the balancing was mediocre, the fact that we have permanent 3v3 game mode would do so much for this game. Spvp is just inherently flawed as a system, look at stronghold lol. Actual 3v3, with actual 3v3 maps like WoW has would be insanely good for the game

Please. I got my brother into it after 9 years, 2v2 was the best pvp experience he had, we logged on every day and played, after the mini season ended he's over it, says pvp lobby don't feel the same. We tried roaming, but out numbered over and over people refusing to fight fair... It pushed him away from the game. So now we're just waiting for 3v3 mini season.. Can you please make arena permanent. If you're afraid it will kill spvp queues, make a wvw hub where you can battle other server teams maybe, or do something with edge oft the mists that nobody uses... I just want to come back and play all day with him and my friend, plzplz ty.

I dont mean nerd grenade kit into the ground, rather, make bomb kit better for example. For an aoe kit that leaves combo fields, its so much inferior to grenade kit. Elixir kit, toolkit (lmao toolkit 2, box of nails, and the 6 confusion lucky if you hit crowbar) are all out dated. Dont even get me started on turrets, where rifle turret is only taken to proc static discharge... Please Anet, work on engi. I dont want to have to take grenade kit on every single engi build i play in every single game mode because its so good, I would at least like to have to think and be able to have a choice

kitten, this is what I was afraid of. I guess I'll bank the dire accessories, and stat swap to celestial since revenant, guardian, and warrior currently all have meta builds that use celestial. Bit of a shame though, dire should be so much better.

Title. I guy full dire set which I'm currently using on my condi berserker. Took it into wvw and it feels quite lackluster. I can feel that it's slightly tankier, but that's about it, and the damage is unimpressive for a full condi item set. Seems like I can only stack 3-6 stacks of burning before it get cleansed. I'm new to condi berserker so might be a skill issue but kitten. Even the trait to apply burning on longbow auto only last 1 second of burning. Is this because condi berserker is bad/not meta atm, or dire gear being bad? I'm thinking about swapping everything over to celestial or something but want to keep testing it out. If it's a berserker issue, what heavy armor dire builds would I have decent luck with? Ty in advance

Oh, and this would include thoughts on how the new elite specs will function in pvp. HoT elites were god mode compared to normal profs, same with PoF then halfway into PoF anet decided that no wait elite specs should be alternative playstyles and that core should be similar power level as elites (lol core engi and ele, lmaooo sadge). Have they toned down the eod elite specs? Some of them look really cool like the mechanist but I worry if it's an ai based spec etc. Virtuoso looks so clunky and terrible... Losing clones go do what .. have more screen clutter?

Hi guys. Its been nearly a year since I quit GW2 due to irl reasons however Im thinking about coming back and would like to be caught up on news, and plans for eod pvp content. My question is, does anybody know what pvp will be like in eod? For me, pvp means all player vs player modes, so wvw/pvp/arenas/duels. I was hoping to god that they would add dueling arenas around the real world but that's prob not gonna happen, what about ranked 3v3 arenas? Will it still be only a down season event? Has there been any update on wvw alliances and what it will be like? I found myself running around a lot in my wvw time trying to find fights, or just mindlessly following a zerg and player vs dooring (or zerg v castle lord farming etc). The population seems too low to have a healthy 5v5 mode... All I seen for the past few years is complaints about botters and win traders. Plus, surely in the THIRD expac we deserve another full blown pvp mode that isn't conquest? Any updates/news/thoughts/insights on what pvp in eod would be like is appreciated, even if it's just guestimating

I hope we get NEW pvp content in EoD. Gw2 has had the same stale maps over and over since launch. Sure there have been 1 or 2 added but oh my god we need more than just 5v5. A ranked competitive 3v3 arena with rewards would be so amazing... I wish 5v5 conquest turns to 10v10 battlegrounds, as a more friendly introduction to pvp, and 3v3 arena becomes the competitive mode for pvp in gw2... With bigger maps designed for 3v3. One can dream...

Can you please list these uses? Atm i am taking forever to kill a veteran in open world whereas if I was on a dedicated power/condi build I would melt it in seconds without even glancing their way. Mostly wvw builds, but there are a few for open world. Celestial gear isn't very useful for a lot of classes. I find that ele and necro have better use of the even stat distribution, but you are giving up a lot of dps for the sustain/balance of celestial. Metabattle.com is a really good reference for builds, for all game modes. And, as an engineer, there are a couple really good choices for open world, they just aren't using celestial gear.Thanks, yeah. The key word being that you are giving up A LOT of dps, while the other stats that it gives you hardly do anything noticeable ... I use metabattle all the time, but I am also starting to branch out and create my own builds (hence why i decided to give celestial core/scrapper a go) but man... celestial just feels like a major major handicap.

From what I have seen it seems to be a thing of the past. I made a post in the wvw forums about the usage of celestial gear, but it got me thinking about not just wvw builds, but celestial gear in all game modes. As far as I can tell, it has been outdated since Elite specializations (the ELITE specs, not the "oh wait, elite but trade off specs) came out. And I havn't seen any meta celestial builds in the 5 years that I have been playing, except celestial holo (out dated now), and celestial weaver, both which were roaming builds. I recently crafted a full Celestial set for my engineer. I have pistol shield, hammer, and rifle, all celestial too. Everything is ascended. However, I just can't make it work in any game mode. In wvw, I get just blown up by marauder gear players. The healing/toughness/vitality I get from celestial gear may as well have been paper. In pve also, I am struggling to see any use for celestial, as it is all min maxing. Sure, Gw2 wants us to stay away from the trinity of tank/dps/healer, but when you have a spec like firebrand that can do INSANE dps while healing crazy amounts without even using a blast water finisher, I feel like there is a major design flaw. I seriously regret making a celestial set... am considering just going full trailblazers/grievers (for wvw and pve, as these type of "streamlined" dps yet tanky" builds seem to excell. Marauder for pve and pvp/wvw. Grieving for wvw/pve, even pve where min maxing is the meta, a marauder set can do what a berserker set can do. In your mind, do you think celestial gear has any place in the modern powercrept gw2? Does it need a buff?
