GW2: Update Notes Thread

[Arcana]

Black garden was negative fun, it was just a gigantic 10vs10 zerg in the middle of the map, so fucking horrible. Rift literally had 0 good PVP maps at release. SWTOR had by far the best PVP maps I've ever played, they were all so fun, unique, and balanced.

Yeah there was nothing like being forced to run Huttball against 2 tanks and a healer endlessly.

[Kuishen]

QP was just a stopgap for people to measure their tournament wins, and yeah it was pretty meaningless. The MMR/ELO was introduced in the patch that brought the one round team vs team tournaments on Temple. It works as you'd expect, and I'm interested in seeing how they turn it into the carrot for competition.

Um... Maybe I'm just not seeing it but a quick glance over the patch notes shows nothing of the sort. I also haven't seen anything in game to indicate they added anything like that either.

Sorry about your inability to use stuns/pulls/knockbacks properly.

[Katlan]

Feels like I entered the SWTOR subforum up in here

[Arcana]

Nah, it's just Shiyo menstruating all over the place, though given the abortion that SWTOR was it's easy to be mistaken.

They didn't put it in the patch notes because they were basically doing a trial run with it. They were keeping it hush hush to see how it worked out. They mention the specifics in the latest State of the Game.

Ah, generally don't touch anything from Guru so I missed it.

sPvP hasn't been about bunkers since like the first month of the game, when people finally learned how to do something besides glass cannon. If anything, it's become about the exact opposite (sub-objectives aside).. whose roamer can dominate their rotations.

Nobody is even trying to say its great. If people don't like it or are just plain terrible, then that's fine. But ya'll nigs pretending to understand/critique it with obviously no experience is a fucking joke.

No, people didn't MAGICALLY learn how to play other specs and the meta didn't magically change for no reason, anet literally heavily nerfed every single bunker build except ele's, which is now the best bunker build.

[Celeras]

Guardians are easily still the best bunkers, Ele are typically roaming support and moving nonstop. Should be obvious why. Tell me more about your sPvP experience; that thing you never play because it's so terrible.

[Rhyis.]

Yeah my guardian is pretty unkillable.

[Arcana]

I see your bunkers and raise you a condition necro!

[Celeras]

Didn't see anything posted for it, but they added the Valentines item to gem shop. 400 gems to throw roses at peeps.

[Katlan]

Should of not been acct bound so you could send it to others . I mean why would you buy a dozen roses for yourself!?

[Churchill]

This is the general build in question: http://teampz.com/threads/tanky-trap-ranger.22/

By the way is this a troll? Viper nest? lol. Troll Unguent? lol.

If this is what the top guys are running then sPVP in GW2 suffers from a severe big fish in a small pond syndrome. I imagine that, again if this was what the top guys are running, any decent PVP crew could come in and fuck their faces in.

[Celeras]

"It works, so everybody must be bad". Can't argue with that sound logic.

[Churchill]

So it's a troll build then, because it looks like shit.

[Celeras]

Yeah, poison clearly has no value to a 1v1 roamer running a condition build spec'd for traps. I don't know what you expect me to say, you're clearly terrible. Welcome back btw.

[Celeras]

Here's his account information, feel free to take it up with him if you feel his build is shit. He's #4. https://forum-en.guildwars2.com/foru...lifying-Points

[Churchill]

I know some of the guys on that list, they are on SoS. They are also fucking awful.

[Arcana]

The build actually works really well, pet removes conditions, lots of self buffs, lots of condition damage and traps are really quick recharge. It's very easy to counter though, condition the shit out of it and it really just falls over. problem is that PZ were running 2 trap rangers, 2 eles & guardian and java thinks that because they started running it that its not over powered but against people who haven't encountered the build they were facerolling teams.
