TheGrimm.5624 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 To those against, I am sorry. I don't want to see anyone not playing when they dislike an event. To those that do, GAME ON and GOOD HUNTING! To Anet, thanks for the week! The geek in me would be curious in numbers and how the NDSW impacts thing like logins and such. Again sorry for those against, and to those looking forward to it, Good hunting all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naxos.2503 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 That will be interesting to be sure. Maybe even reverse the current trend for our matchup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a "meet in the middle" solution were if you get downeds they can not be insta revived by their team unless they use some of those hefty CD skills to revive allies.But those pesky thieves and rangers would not get the kill unless they keep pressuring the downed.

This is the first such event after the Feb patch though. While the professions you mentioned remain bursty, they are nowhere near what they were during the last event.

Agree, if possible we should try various weeks were downstate rules are adjusted to better understand if it can be more balanced and potentially more fun.

This is the first such event after the Feb patch though. While the professions you mentioned remain bursty, they are nowhere near what they were during the last event.You're right, but I still find some players running builds that can 100-0 enemy even if he have over 22k hp and 2.6k armor from safe distance. It's gonna happen a bit less than before, but it'll still happen one way or another.I expect a lot of cheese runners, wall huggers and these 100-0 1trickponies.There is a chance, that zerg fights won't be so laggy, since some people will straight-up die on first engage, meaning server won't have to do maths on condies/heals/dmg/boons on rallboys bodies.

kash.9213 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 The same people who were getting burst down from openers or condi bombs before are still getting nearly one shot now, however the last downstate event went down it's going to be the same. Remove rallying and downed profession skills or replace them with a slow crawl and let friendlies slowly drag you or use a pull skill on downs.

Baldrick.8967 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 How about a 'no wvw week' instead. At this stage most of us won't even notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonSeed.3528 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Maybe not 100-0 in that sense but I guarantee you will see the most toxic builds come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth is, roamers who like easy kills will have fun ganking down the flood of GoB farmers. It will be those who enjoy actual fights, small scale or large, that will be the ones suffering during that week, as people resort more to PPT for double WXP (large scale) or for roamers, the people you will keep coming across will likely be less experienced in WvW and won't give you much of a challenge.

Fueki.4753 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Arenanet, can we have a No Stomping weekend next?And an Automatic Revival weekend after that?You shouldn't support only one side of the argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspirine.6852 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Remember the Frozen Soil skill from GW1. Very high risk/reward one. Perhaps a week like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, You mean from Guild Wars. Calling it GW1 makes it sound like GW2 is a sequel, which given all the great stuff they didn't transfer (templates, Guild battles, etc) I think insults Guild Wars which was a great game.Frozen soil was a great skill but in GW2 it would favour the bigger blob. Although it would be really fun addition, along with many features in Guild Wars which are missing in GW2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchonWing.9480 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Hug your pocket healers tighter, and all will be good. But hey, no rallybots to blame. Wonder what people will blame next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can already see the problem with this:One class and one class only is particularly good at breaking combat via teleports. Work out the rest yourself.
