the thin line of 1400 rating, 1400+ ppl are not so clueless about the game mode, but your chances of being farmed by duo q is huge
1400- is just the clueless and toxicity fest with good chances of being farmed by the duos specially if you not playing prime time
i still think 1400+ is a bit better cuz you can at least q dodge the duos, by doing that you help them farming low gold ppl rofl, such a good game mode
low gold fkn sucks

OP is still right - conquest has become awful. Been doing pvp since it came out and every match I wish I didn't do it - but this is also why I keep playing because it's addicting getting the win. So if that's not how you feel, gotta move on bro - like I said, this game mode hasn't changed in a decade and only gotten significantly worse. Only play because you want to, to have fun.
Note: this isn't an excuse of the poor quality and management (lack thereof) of this game mode from anet.

untamed ist an absolut beast for PvP, but its Harder to pull of than vindi. IT IS Just easier to play
Can attest. Untamed is extremely versatile and powerful but it took me lots of matches to get it up to speed. There are variations to untamed - tankier option or DPS variant (you can find on that one on metabattle).
DPS soulbeast still has its place though, but definitely not as "complete" as a well played vindicator.

Hard no on this. You'd see our already dwindling population cut in half - no reward for their effort when they get steamrolled due to the already wonky matchmaking system? They won't ever come back.

I just completed the achievement last week. Exactly like others have said, double check you have the prerequisites to actually collect the rare slab as the achievement tip doesn't necessarily help. It took me about 10 minutes to land a drop.

Just as good in 2020. For PvE, I can open up the LFG and see squads or groups for almost any map, with fairly good population levels throughout. I normally do fracts and strikes, and it's easy to get a group going. Lots of new things that have come out to put some spin on your usual builds.
PvP... well... that can be knocked off the board. That just hasn't gotten any reliable changes that hasn't made it worse.

Sounds like you need a scrapper in your life.
Power scrapper (hammer) - decent HP, high defense, traited for critical damage, is able to perform excellent in all areas (strike missions, pvp, open world is e.z., etc.), tough story instances, and fractals. Easily able to back off due to blocking mechanisms, barriers, and about every boon with alchemy tonics. There is little rotation to memorize, but being engineer there is moderate challenge dependent on how much you scale your skills/abilities. You also can take secondary weapons such as the flamethrow or elite cannon and camp it (which provides good damage).
Let me know if you want the build I run.

Too many problems from anet for me to do pvp in this game. i'm sure it's also felt by others

The start was very good nut now tank builds everywhere . I mean I'm not the best warrior and I know the so called 'Fire Weaver' can tank with focus and guard with aegis but I had a scourge and a daredevil tanking 20k dps directly into the face without their HP even dropping 1%.This is absurdWas the daredevil evading and did the scourge spam all his barrier sources while you spammed your burst skills?Why didn't you just wait 4 seconds?Do you also burst into a block and then complain how much trash the game is?Bronze division issues.Btw.: I doubt you did 20kdpsin pvp.Definition of "Tanky": I take a glass 1-shot build into PvP and then wonder why my opponents always dodge my burst and then counter my face off!definition of tanky, I take 3 dps traitlines, enemy facetanks every single ability in my kit and still lives.I'm not saying tanky builds don't exist. But the "20k dps vs. a daredevil" thing pretty much tells you all you need to know about this particular case.ofc, even holo wont dish out 20k dps in pvp, with quickness at best maybe 8k.Im just salty cuz bronze necro could facetank my glass canon mesmer for 1minute by standing still and passively gaining shroud lolNecro is essentially playing a turn based version of GW2.Essentially. You don't need to dodge. I play core necro build in pvp. Dodging is more of a hastle really. Same on my reaper tank build.
-
I've seen necro and guardians as bots. Like someone else said above, any class can.
-
Have you played theif? Try it. You NEED SB to maximize mobility. There is certain offsets you live with as theif; you make up for it with SB.
-
Is there a better way to report bots? I have to go through the support section in the menu and select some off-set "section."
It's a bit frustrating being on a team that is primarily made of bots. And yes, I see the constant threads. I just want a better option on reporting them. Will that work? Realistically, nothing has for them.

It's filled to the brim.Sure ... but that doesn't change the fact that you didn't understand what I was saying ... then when I tell you it wasn't what I meant ... you proceeded to put the screws to me. I don't care how frustrated you are ... that's just not a reasonable approach to 'attempting dialogue' with someone.I never said those debating the merits of deciding to not buy the next expansion are telling meotherpeople won't buy the expansion. I don't even know how you would come to that conclusion from what I said. What they and I said are referring to themselves, not others. Even so ... I DO think the OP is likely aware that his thread DOES attempt to imply he's not alone in his decision to abstain from the expansion ... so it's entirely false what I said? No, it's not.Oh i'm sure he's aware he's not alone. That's why we're here to join him.
Have you played in many pvp games lately? Or anyone in this thread? I'm asking because i'm fully aware the base of the game's players are not into pvp - much of GW2 success comes from other modes - so it's easy to neglect the PvP player base. But, like most things, you're usually remembered for your failures rather than your success, and atm, PvP has been a big flop. The amount of bots, just to name a single concern we've identified, is really apparent compared to the percentage of active players (getting back to the OP's point). But if you're a raid/fractal/PvE guy/gal, you would never see this.

At some point when do we call if quits if the other party refuses to correct their mistakes or conduct routine balance updates? Serious question here. I've stuck with it for years, but like any bad relationship, when do you walk away (trick question: you usually walk away after all the damage has been dealt and regret it).

@"voltaicbore.8012" said:I'll buy the expac. I agree that sPvP and WvW have been too neglected, but... eh. Those ships have sailed for me at this point. I'll do unranked to farm certain reward tracks, and one of these days will finish Conflux when I feel like hating the game again.
I agree. The ship has definitely sailed. I enjoy other aspects of this game, and i'm loyal to it, which is why I still frequent and drop my comments in threads like this to put forth some sort of "sound" to other people's grievances so they know they aren't alone. Really, i've invested so much time into this game, like you all, to not have a voice.

@"Domino.1359" said:And yes, the two are interrelated. Not sure how you can't see it.It is inter-related if time and money is diverted from one project to fund another.What is "broken" with WvW? I don't play there enough to notice.You are, I assume, a frequenter of these forums. Look at the PvP forums. Look at the WvW forum. There isn't a single thread that you'll find commenting on the brilliance of the balance in this game. I honestly don't play WvW, I do play PvP, and the only thing that has been a constant is the lack of balance and the loss of players due to this.
-
@"Game of Bones.8975" said:I don't see where the two are related (other than money for the company).
That's like me saying I will not be buying anymore Kashi products (a health-food line owned by Kellogg foods) until the "All Together" cereal (an LGBT cereal by Kellogg) is priced below $10/box.
The company will do what it will do.
That's the most important part: money. Granted a few of us here won't do much in saying we won't buy the next expansion, but it's this exact gesture of us being frustrated at a lot of things broken/low quality/lack of balance patches that make us voice here.
And yes, the two are interrelated. Not sure how you can't see it.

Same boat. PvP is an absolute shit show atm. There needs to be more balancing.
Yet again, Anet promises one thing and does another. After 8 years, I've finally gotten the hint. I love this game, obviously after sticking with it for 8 years, but the next expansion won't be bought by me until I see massive improvements in both quantity of balancing patches and QUALITY of balancing patches - because lately, the balancing has rocked the entire boat off course. And this comes with zero word from Anet/Developers on anything. Didn't we just go through this entire cycle last year with devs promising more communication and patches?

Or! Banner warriors in pvp? I remember dropping a few banners on a node and it'd be lit.
-
Do you guys remember when hammer war used to be viable? that was a great time in pvp... way back then... 6 years ago...

Right now the meta is bunker condi and this fits right in. As a ranger, you need something to perform in the meta and this one helps. I run something similar and ran into this build here on the forums. Performs well. Noticed running 3 traps actually hinders utility and damage output; 1 trap is perfect.
I've personally been using Iboga for the x2 confusing/torment and flame trap. There is enough poison applications throughout the build to forgo a poison trap.

@jsp.6912 said:@Virdo.1540 said:Not really op. Its one of the easiest classes to counter.tell me what class counter a rev with the build of the mota final (mace shield staff)other revs, power thieves, necros, power spellbreakers, mesmers, condi holos.... its really easy. Just think about what could be possible counterspower spellbreakers, and condi holos cannot go up against the current rev builds. condi holos don't have enough condi cleanse to clear. it's in short supply. Or you need to short yourself and take HGH with a full skillset of potions. same with spellbreakers. you'll limit yourself severely to cleanse.
RANGER REALLY?

Con confirm. Once you get G3+, plat, it's fairly common to see around 2 power rangers per team. It's just that effective, especially when they've been playing it longer than all the rest on the FOTM train.
