SoftFootpaws.9134 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 (edited) I've said this many times, but powercreep has infested all game modes. Movement and attack speed should be reduced so that Swiftness and Quickness only bring players up to what we have as baseline now, which may feel slow but would give 100% more room for counterplay. The game was better in Core because you could see animations and react to them in real-time. Yet I've seen threads of players asking for Quickness to be made baseline, even in PvP. This is because players enjoy much more running into a group and dumping all their skills in 5sec and downing half the enemy team. Harbinger wasn't the first class able to do this, and it won't be the last. I wish people would stop confusing adrenaline rushes with fun gameplay (for others). Bunker meta exists because its the only way to counter DPS spam adrenaline junkies. Some of us actually want to survive for a little while, have a bit of fighting, maybe play the game some instead of just being a free +5. But these players don't want PvP, they want 20k in their log and more points in their score, as quickly as possible. If you could instagib players, half the "PvP" community would approve of it. And they have before. Edited July 11, 2022 by Mariyuuna.6508 4 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now imagine how bad feeding 100+ points to the enemy team is while you fight that one potentially never-ending 1v1 against a bunker for the majority of a match. Support is the real counter to the DPS race. Bunkers are selfish and just exist to slow down the game and to be annoying. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waterisrealywet.6408 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I just got back into gw2 after I'd say like 6 years? I stopped playing Lost ark due to the fact their PVP was literally horse dog water poopoo (max rank was Plat there) & come to here my Max rank was plat also till I gained +9 LP and LOST -39. I gotta say the PVP skill set have gone beneath the ground. Yes, everyone just spams skills 0 proper rotation, bash their heads on the keyboard (chronomancers) and get unlimited boons, massive vulniberality and somehow everyone got massive movement speed?? The 2 classes I played was thief/necro. That's how I hit plat back then, 52% was thief, 38% was necro most played. Thief required skill to play, the back damage was superb, the movement is why that class was GOOD. Now? Necro and Thief nerfed beneath the gutter hole, every other class has massive boons, vul, cc, movement speed like what is the sole purpose? If you're gonna make every class OP besides like maybe 5-6 why not make it all OP?? That's why MW2 was good, everything was OP there was never imbalance. I'm currently gold now, thief sucks, necro can't hold down a point 1 v 2 at all I'm forced to play spell breaker (which I don't want to so I quit pvp). But man, has this games PVP gone so shtty man. Disappointing because I use to love this games PVP. OH now you also got bots and afkers ??? Like when did this game BECAME lost ark.. WHEN?! They need to remove the Ascension/loot boxes from the PVP ranked to nonranked or WvW because I promise you this is stupid. Ranked is meta vs meta, non ranked is more funner than Ranked and its sad. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myror.7521 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 @Waterisrealywet.6408 tho thief is in its state cause of how fast its movement is but actually i would say it not Bad at all. Well Played you could easiliy rec every Spellbraker for Sure. The only thing makes Thief less good is the actually Meta cause its more or less AoE Spam plus been tanky. When it comes to necro...... it is acutually not that Bad but also too deleted by the Meta CC plus hard dmg. All I could say you Just Play the actually 2 least Meta classes you could get rn. So indeed you get a Bad expirience after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddbopkins.2630 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 If this game was complete. With all the fixins, it have a core only pvp mode. Along with other pvp development over the years. But pvp is the last thing any dev wants to work on. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet the bunkers are one of the few things that could annoy the "pro" gamers from getting them leaderboard points. Bunkers are kittening boring and ruin the game but are the one of the effective things that could ruin the "fun" of some specific duo queues, you most probably won't win but sure as kitten will drag out the unwinnable game. Bunkers are pure spite , that is all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all I did until EoD following the 2/25/2020 patch and I can confirm that the top players don't like it, therefore yes; do it, and also record it.

Peter.3901 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 (edited) I said from the start, the invulnerability spam shouldn't be a thing in pvp at all, there's no way that a guy can rise a piece of wood and instantly become immortal in front of 5 angry skilled guys attacking from any angle without any issue. In pvp invulnerability should work like some kind of minor damage mitigation like 20~30% less damage than a full no brain invulnerability, would be still good but not braindead. Its just dumb that some classes can just block everything while dancing and still be more dangerous than full dps builds, warriors can just scream ONGA BONGA while permastunning you to the dead and if you attack ,ooooops , a shield!, elementalists and mesmers can do everything they want and if you do anything ooops, a shield! and they can just blink out and wait any cooldown and come again and again with a very funny infinite loop... This kitten is out of balance and the dev is really out of touch from it, but hey, better nerf sharpened stone!1!1! Well, just uninstalled this garbo, can't deal with the favoritism, private server staff be like...

Some spectator love would go a long long way. Also premade viable builds to help the noobs at least get a grip on their class with basic rotations to not get wrecked. They had something like that a long time ago but I guess got rid of it? It's a shame cuz I keep seeing full signet warriors and I just wish the game clearly gave out preset build options that weren't trash for new players trying to get the hang of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that were the case, skill didn’t matter just pressing a key when n range to win….. then you wouldn’t have platinum tier ranked matches with the exact same folks. You’d have completely random key pressers in the top bunch each season. make no mistake there is a lot of skill to playing and positioning well. People who say otherwise are probably trying to justify their performance with excuses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
