  1. hello frands, former #1 engi NA and world first rank 80 here

     

    as we all know, pvp in this game died way back in 2015 when 30 10 0 20 10 builds went away in favor of 3 lines. here are some old clips from mostly before that time for your viewing pleasure. have a nice day and play lost ark.

  2. For me, everything boils down to the game mode. Fighting over nodes is boring gameplay especially in mmo pvp. Every mmo pvp meta revolves around being the tankiest, most survivable you can be while still being able to burst someone down. Gw2 is no exception and its game mode just amplifies some of the worst, most unfun builds: hambow, cele, bunkers, scourges, etc.

     

    Conquest also requires you to know how to position yourself on the map on top of knowing everything else that you need to know about playing a pvp game. It's arguably a more important skill to have over being mechanically proficient. If you ever watch a good player stream, they constantly complain about people who shouldnt be where they are, and frankly why should those people bother to learn in this extremely casual game? Why should a new player coming into this game first learn rotations over actually being good? It's very unsatisfying.

     

    The game mode also makes for some major snowballs. Soon as a person dies, their team is at a big disadvantage. This disadvantage often perpetuates until the end of the game because the deaths and respawns are always staggered and it takes communication to regroup, something that just doesnt exist in most games. 

     

    There's other reasons why the game is bad like matchmaking, population, but yeah the game mode is definitely the worst offender. A more traditional pvp mode like arenas would alleviate a lot of problems but it's unlikely and probably unfeasible to change the whole balance direction for a game mode that doesnt even have a lot of players to begin with. In short, the game is unsalvageable and we should all move on to greener pastures. Any future lost ark pvpers?

  3. don't move the goalposts. the op was complaining about being deleted with a true shot. the way the build works is you stack as many +damage% amplifiers as possible and then true shot, one of which (and the largest one) is being tethered to the target. if you get pulled, you're not getting smacked with a 16k true shot, which by the way, is an unbelievable amount of damage to be hit by. unbelievable as in not believable. 

     

    the DH cannot restealth after hitting an F1 from stealth because of revealed. if he does, he loses a damage amp which weakens true shot. if the DH holds off on true shot to bait a dodge, that's a damage amp removed. also keep in mind this is an 11k hp no toughness build as well. something something get good.

    This is nothing new. Every game that has ever had PvP, has also always attracted terrible people. The kinds of people who take video games way too seriously and who should probably go outside and get some sun light every once in a while. I doubt there's a game that has PvP that doesn't have these kind of tryhards.

     

    These people will always exist. They'll never go away. Better to ignore them, rather than give them validation.

     

    But outside of PvP, yes, Guild Wars 2 does have a lovely community. (Unless you're a Commander on Verdant Brink and your map failed even by a small margin.) 

    Pve players will always call pvp toxic and ignore the pve elitism and toxicity at low dps,  low hps, off meta utilities, off meta gear, dummy parses, class composition, etc. The moral of the story is people are kitten everywhere, and also there is no need to make a forum post about how toxic people are. If you cant have a laugh at madtyping, then block.

    Because it has no solo queue and people can't be bothered sitting in LFG for 1 hour or more before they can start playing the game. Random BGs are very popular however, because they don't suffer that issue.

    random bgs are akin to unranked queues. only those without gear or extreme casuals play it. if you wanna throw in 10v10s or 15v15s in unranked, that's fine. large scale competitive pvp though? that doesn't exist.

    We must not be watching the same streams because I can think of at least 3 or 4 streamers at around the 100 viewer mark who are constantly toxic and think they are literally the second coming of Jesus. Having an ego about being good at GW2 PvP is like thinking you're some kind of NBA hall of famer because you're the best player at your local park, it's just hilarious.
