hmm so when you work hard to get the best pvp gear out there. It doenst matters because everyone in the competitive mode gets the same gear ? ... yeeey....
@PolaroidSupercolor Yes, in competitive mode you compete on your skill, so you have to be BETTER than the other guy, not just with more time to grind honour. In open PvP however.....
@PolaroidSupercolor Whoa dude, you might have to actually rely on your SKILL, rather than your gear. Damn, looks like you might have to do more than grind honor for 12 hours a day to be good at this game, champ.
@PolaroidSupercolor No, it actually doesn't, I assume you play WoW? Well, so did I, I know very well how easy it is to grind honor for gear. You can even do it AFK for God's sake. I think you should just embrace this system. It's going to save you alot of annoying grinding, and give you a better, more competitive PvP experience.
@PolaroidSupercolor Believe me, I fought my way to 2500's the same damn way you did. Basically, It's less boring monotonous grinding to enjoy the fair, balanced pvp we enjoy, and I'm not a GW fanboy. I played WoW for 6 years.. I didn't even play GW 1. This looks like a promising game though, and yes, I'll definantely be playing it.
@PolaroidSupercolor GW2 is simply an attempt to level the playing field for everyone by basing pvp on skill, teamwork, and strategy. Somewhere along the timeline of mmo's, the idea took root that spending tons of time/money on a game should entitle you to advantages in combat. The reward for being good in pvp should be server respect and reputation, not gear that makes you so uber you don't have to try as hard anymore.
@TheCaptainSponge For many people, WoW IS the best and always will be. Still, it's nice that ArenaNet is taking the time to tailor the game to a wide variety of playstyles as well as learning from WoW's mistakes. Don't get me wrong, WoW is one of, if not THE, best MMO out there, but you can't deny it has its own share of problems. I'm really looking forward to playing this game!
@PenguinForge Not trying to be rude, but your dumb as hell if you really think that WoW "is the best and always will be for many ppl" because gamers, just like tech, love to improve and go to the next greatest thing when a truly great thing comes along, which is exactly whats happening..pay attention.
@Th3SandManCan Sorry, I must not have been clear enough in my comment. I DON'T think "WoW is the best and always will be". I was referring to other people who say that. Sure, most of them might just be trolling and, now that I think about it, that's much more likely. Either way, I never said I agreed with them.
@Th3SandManCan On the note of "you must be as dumb as hell if you think that WoW 'is the best and always will be'", I agree. If you were referring to the fact that I took many of these people seriously, maybe you're also right. Sheesh, I can't read people through text on a screen.

I never played GW or was ever really into an MMO besides Runescape (it was my first one, thank god. I'd probably be addicted to them if I started with a good one), but this seems like a great approach to PvP!
@KemikaaliNisti No, you have one profession only, no secondary profession. However, you can cross-profession combo effects, which is even cooler, and far more dynamic.
@SagelikeOne I agree. The secondary prof. system in GW1 was retarded and most importantly boring. GW as a whole was a boring game compared to WoW (And I don't even like WoW) I'm glad ArenaNet has stepped up and replaced all the bad stuff with fun stuff.

Are you the one that made the video showing that even if your armor level 50 has better stats than a level 30, you can keep the appearance of the lvl 30 with the lvl 50 atributtes?
Equal gear as everyone else? I kinda like the aspect of having something to earn to prove that you spent the time and effort to get gear better than someone who turns the game on and starts pvping. And PvP should never be intertwined with PvE thats completely obvious.
I think u should get bumped to max in structured pvp but u should get pre-defined gear or all skills, wtf is the point of doing all those cool hidden world things to earn your abilities if some asshole can just join pvp and have them all instant given.

@xantyleonhart Knight isn't a class. You should've played GW 1 more and you would have realized that that combination is stupid, it might have worked better in this game but still, no secondary profs.
Guardian. I ment guardian, I confused the name because it looked like a knight -_-, the idea according to the strengths would be to make a super tank that could give boosts as well as summon or deal status e ailments or debuffs to the enemies... plus, the guardian is one of the most resistent classes(if not the most) and the necromencer's special hability allows him to revive as an ethereal form once dead (that's like 2 health bars). That would be just broken LOL.
Having a second profession would be cool as fuck though, at least let us switch between two or more on one character if we can't use more than one at the same time.
Stupid Scrubs. blabla not relying on items finally blabla. Its just bullshit i remember back in the wow days i still was able to get Gladiator with an undergeared Character. Just l2p and dont complain about gear. Its just sad. A good player is able to win even with a disadvantage. Dont get me wrong. I love the PvP in Gw2 but its just sad to think you lost Games in other MMO's because enemy had better Gear. You should learn your class and play in team.
@justsayingxoxo It's great that you actually have enough time to get that gear some of us may have skills but not the time availeble to actually get all the gear. It also means the combat will rely more on skill then on gear. Would be stupid if a noob could just get on a pro account and own everyone wouldn't it ?
@Gasmotoful you don't understand me. Im actually saying that Gear never made a big difference. You could not win Games in any mmo if you were bad. Thats just a fact. Even if you had the ubergear. And like i said. A good player learns all classes in the Game and if he has great reflexes is very familiar with Keybinds and knows how to React on what enemy skill then you dont need Gear. But for players at the exact same skilllevel, its ofc nice if you have the same gear for pvp.

@justsayingxoxo lawl, atleast we 'stupid scrubs' seem to realize that when (equally skilled) mikethegladiator rolling in previous season's gear and a fully pimped samthegladiator spar, mikethegladiator gets fecked. Thus an even starting basis for everyone is - no matter how you look at it - better.
Looks much better then fucking SWTOR. One problem, don't think my PC could handle this game D: I'm using 2gb of ram, nvidia geforce 9400 GT windows vista home premium service pack 2..
ok wait a sec they are dumbing down character customization? so basically this is a shooter, but without aiming or reaction time as far as dodging. Great everyone has a chance to win! sounds competitive (im being sarcastic). "Dont worry jimmy we have installed methods to make sure that everyone is good! its called rock paper scissors" No customization = no skill, No aim based skill = no skill. (Reposted for Guran772)
@Guran722 apparently what I said was difficult for you to comprehend. Yes technically clicking F1 (directing the order) and having a desired response (receipet of the order) can be considered "reaction time" *no sh*t sherlock*. Nevertheless, if you consider that to be skill and somehow challenging........ I am truely at a loss of words.
@MichaelViewTube no everyone gets the same gear, kinda, casters get same light armor, adventures proffesions get same medium armor, soldiers get same heavy armor
I do hope they make some kind of reward for being awesome in PvP. But not better gear but maybe some cooler style of it but with same stats. That would be awesome. So that you can look at a player and know that he is one tough badass.
@Trigggggggggggger dont worry in gw1 each armor had its elite version which is very hard to get and has same stats but 10 tmes cooler looks and no shortcuts to getting it.
I hate to disagree with you but World PVP is where skill, brains and teamwork will matter even more than arenas. If it's "casual" like you intimate, it will not be nearly as fun as it should be.
@saxster Umm no lol. World pvp is the more casual one as you can enter and leave at any time. THe real pvp is the arenas where you can rise up the ranks and enter tournaments to win actual cash so....
@sachxtrem You talking to a guy that's been pvping in MMOs since UO closed beta. I think I know of which I speak, but have fun in the arenas. I'll be helping win the wars in Guild WARS.
alot of reviews out today from teh beta this weekend and all the people who participated in world pvp said it was amazing and brought back the magic that Darkage of Camelot had 8 years ago
all of those who want to join guild wars2 community go to gw2bloodkin.enjin.com and SIGN UP now join us were growing by the day please come and join us so we can start from the beginging
There is a new article out about wvwvw. it truely is amazing. talks about the maps, each server gets a homefront map thats easier for them to defend then a center map where teh neutral fighting takes place. talks about the keeps, towers, the camps and how the supply lines work (materials to repair keeps and make the siege weapons, and the goal of stealing the other servers orbs to make your server more powerful.(think DAOC relics)
@pand3micdrums I believe it's a temporary increase in level for the purposes of having a high enough max health stat for world PvP, getting 1-hit every time would not be very fun methinks. And from what I've seen online, niether skills nor equipment are a part of this, so those two would have to be acquired normally (quest rewards, merchants, loot, etc). Someone correct me if this is incorrect please.
@pand3micdrums If you join a group with a higher-level character and travel to a higher-level zone then you will "scale" up to that zone so that the contents is interesting. If you are alone you won't scaleup at all. If you join structured PvP you will automatically move to max level so that you compete on a level playingfield. I made a clip about PvP on my channel detailing this.
Cool thanks for this video the world PvP aspect is huge for me and I didnt know much about what guild wars 2 had planned for it. Looks like this and planetside will be my main 2 MMOS in 2012
So, there is no world PvP in this game? By world PvP I mean running around and killing people while you level up? That's basically what makes mmo's good for me. I'll still buy this game and enjoy it but that's a bummer. The thing with structured pvp and even WvWvW is that eventually, you're doing the same thing all the time. And it just gets boring after a while. I have a question, how long does WvWvW last for? It says on the wiki that it's every 2 weeks.
@Eiram92 WvWvW lasts 2 weeks long...then resets from what I understand. As far as killing peeps while you level up, I can see the fun in that. But there is a downside. I played one game for a long time that had 2 factions, where there was no faction population cap, and you lost a % of xp everytime you died. And the only place to get max level was a pvp map. So one side had a 60-40 population advantage and would just camp our outpost, effectively stopping any leveling chances.
@Eiram92 Extreme case I know, but lopsided populations can really alter playability. There's always the real possibility that ANet will come out with more pvp features, like more maps. They are historically very responsive to player needs and input, as long as general balance is kept.
@KonzaCelt This is where the 3way fight comes into factor and fixes itself. When 1 side becomes very powerful or overpopulated it naterially start to win. but this also mean it is in control of the stuff the other servers want, like keeps and objectives. because of this that server now has to try to fight off the other 2 servers that are attacking its stuff. when this happens its forces get divided because its trying to defend on 2 fronts
@Eiram92 first I was also a little bit disappointed, that there will not be enemy factions and no "open world pvp". Now I have to say, that is probably the best thing they can do, because a lot of mmo's struggle with the faction-balance (too many horde in wow, too many imp's in swtor, too many defiants in rift, etc.).
I really think gw2 can become "the one" mmo a lot of pvp-players are waiting for since a very long time.
@Eiram92 In the WvWvW zone there will be PVE and pve dynamic events (im sure there will be an inccetive to do these here like better exp) so you can gank or pick on people that are there for PVE. also by doing this it bring out other people that look for you and this can make very fun small group or solo fights away from the large keep sieges
@FiftyOverTen yea i always hate for example in line age some donators whit full armors and stuff thinking they are good in pvp but they suck just his items that only donators can have make the diference hehe
@chiipdee But you will be - your skills will be better. And this translates to another character, you don't have to re-grind for gear no matter the character you play.
@woozyification Oh look kids! Spam at best, scam at worst. I even made a clip about people and posts like this. And there will be more of them the closer we get to the beta.
Been playing Warhammer Online for 3 1/2 years... and while i love open world pvp, im really looking forward to structured "scenarios". This'll be the only mmo ive bought since 2008, i cant wait.
@VladimirLemLem GW2 will have open world PvP too, just separated from the PvE setting so that both can be as good as they can be. You won't have to offer considerations to "the other"
Not BG's and instanced pvp shit bullshit, I want hardcore, sneaky pvp in the open world, and I don't mean pvp realms, but things like where runescape has the wilderness, GW2 should have an open-area type pvp that doesn't need queuing or that other bs.
@5swords3 It will. WvWvW will be an open world battlefield where you can level your character exclusively if you don't want to PvE. There is more to PvP than structured arenas.
@5swords3 This will never happen in GW2 because Anet has stated time and again they want players to work together to overcome obstacles in the world. It's kinda hard to do that if you're worried about someone else coming up and ganking u. When I first started in GW1 I felt the same way as u but I soon realized that anets way actually works better give it a try u may actually like it. Obtw you should never have to queue in pvp because all pvp is hot joinable.
@99bulldog Well the biggest reason why RuneScape is the most successful and known MMORPG ever is because of it's absolute legendary pvp system with things like the wilderness... I highly doubt ganking (or rushing) will be a problem in GW2 because I doubt there'll be any weapons in GW2 that can kill someone in under 5 seconds.
Btw not all pvp is hot joinable... I just uninstalled WoW because the wait time for pvp is 40 minutes... Open world pvp is joinable at any time. Sucks there won't be any.
The sidekicking to max level, from what I understand, is only for the 5v5 structured pvp arenas. If you leave, you return to your previous level. So I suppose if all you wanted to do with the game is stay in that arena forever...then yeah you would stay at max level. But you're missing 95% of the game if you do that. Guild Wars 2 is an rpg game first, and a pvp game second. Besides, the world pvp (which requires normal leveling) is where the action will really be methinks.
@KonzaCelt while in structured pvp (5v5) you are max level, have access to all skills and have the max level armour and weapons, when you leave you go back to what you had before. In WvWvW you are sidekicked up to max level but keep your skills, armor and weapons you brought with you, in this way a real max level player will be better than a lvl 20 character sidekicked up. In WvWvW you can gain experience and items that you keep when you leave. So you may start WvWvW as lvl 20 and leave lvl 24
@RICKAY747 The player does not immediately attain max level just from doing pvp. You can go in at level 1, be max lvl for the duration of the battle and when it's over, you are back at level 1. I'm sure that only real competitive pvp will be at max level. It also has to do with leveling up and learning how to use your abilities in different situations and in different ways. Like someone may be really good at warrior, and then try to switch to elementalist and suck because they don't understand
When u can get everything instant and highest level instantly
if you make a pve character from level 1 and level him up to 80 surely you have a bit of uniquenes from people that just get highest level instantly. Do you have diffrent looking armour or a title or something? i just find it frustrating that someone could just get to my level instantly and have everything that i worked for and earned,,
@RIKAY747 You do not "level up" that way, you are only temporarily "made" top-level and geared for that one match of structured PvP, and then "go back". You cannot go into open PvP and get top level and gear. You have to look at the two types of PvP completely separately. I am going to make a clip about this on my channel, trying to sort of out some of this stuff. I hope it might answer some more of your question.
@RIKAY747 I simply cannot fathom how someone could miscomprehend something so differently from it's actual meaning. Common sense would tell you that no game developer would be so stupid as to allow someone to reach the level cap instantly. Really sir, I am not one to rage but you blow my mind.
i have heard from numerous videos that like guild wars 1 you can create a character that is basicly only pvp and he will be instant 80 no pve what so ever
@RIKAY747@RIKAY747 That is true... but if you bought a fresh GW1 account today, and made a pvp character... you wouldnt have any skills at all. You would have to either pvp with that toon to get faction points (basically), to purchase your abilities... OR pve with that class to get your abilities. Kinda rough for newcomers... but its doable.
this guy talks alot but Im sure he cant have FUn in a video game , this thype of gamer is the one that just talks and RANTS about everything but never enjoys a game , sad , really sad
When you get sidekicked up you don't gain any new abilities that you would have gained through leveling.
The only instance that you gain all your abilities from going to max level would be the structured PvP where everything is fair and balanced... as far as it seems.
@ShadawGaming You also need to level and PVE for Traits, there are traits for weapons and classes. traites can improve your attacks/abilities or stats. basically makes your charater alot better
@Jstudly771 You can gain traits through open PvP too, you don't need to PvE ever if you don't want to. You can level, getting xp and loot, through PvP. Just not the structured PvP.
@ShadawGaming Getting to max level and gear decently will make your live better in open PvP. This is structured PvP and works on a skill-basis. They are two different things. I will make a clip about it in week or so detailing the differences. Maybe that will help sort your question for you.
@ShadawGaming That's only for the battleground type pvp, where you are given access to everything for the battlegrounds, so that it's equal for everyone. So no more going into a battleground with your character that has crap gear and facing people that have the best pvp gear in the game. Like wow, rift, and aion do for instance.
For everything else you need to hit level 80 and get a good set of gear, and then it's a whole new ball game because max level gear works like gw1 max level gear.
WTF EPIC PvP much? thank for this... see all you Guild Wars heads in the game soon

How was GW1 not balanced? They rebalanced it every week the so meta was in constant change. There were hundreds of viable high level play builds like ranger spike, necro spike, degen pressure, IWAY, MM, rainbow spike, other gimmicky builds, and the hundreds of variations on balanced builds. No game can achieve perfect balance so if the meta is constantly shifting, that should count as balanced. With the amount of build customization in that game, it was also very easy to make a counter build

I ment guardian, I confused the name because it looked like a knight -_-, the idea according to the strengths would be to make a super tank that could give boosts as well as summon or deal status e ailments or debuffs to the enemies... plus, the guardian is one of the most resistent classes(if not the most) and the necromencer's special hability allows him to revive as an ethereal form once dead (that's like 2 health bars). That would be just broken LOL.

Stupid Scrubs. blabla not relying on items finally blabla. Its just bullshit i remember back in the wow days i still was able to get Gladiator with an undergeared Character. Just l2p and dont complain about gear. Its just sad. A good player is able to win even with a disadvantage. Dont get me wrong. I love the PvP in Gw2 but its just sad to think you lost Games in other MMO's because enemy had better Gear. You should learn your class and play in team.

@Gasmotoful you don't understand me. Im actually saying that Gear never made a big difference. You could not win Games in any mmo if you were bad. Thats just a fact. Even if you had the ubergear. And like i said. A good player learns all classes in the Game and if he has great reflexes is very familiar with Keybinds and knows how to React on what enemy skill then you dont need Gear. But for players at the exact same skilllevel, its ofc nice if you have the same gear for pvp.

@pand3micdrums I believe it's a temporary increase in level for the purposes of having a high enough max health stat for world PvP, getting 1-hit every time would not be very fun methinks. And from what I've seen online, niether skills nor equipment are a part of this, so those two would have to be acquired normally (quest rewards, merchants, loot, etc). Someone correct me if this is incorrect please.
KonzaCelt 3 weeks ago
@pand3micdrums If you join a group with a higher-level character and travel to a higher-level zone then you will "scale" up to that zone so that the contents is interesting. If you are alone you won't scaleup at all. If you join structured PvP you will automatically move to max level so that you compete on a level playingfield. I made a clip about PvP on my channel detailing this.

Maloneybryan346 1 month ago
So, there is no world PvP in this game? By world PvP I mean running around and killing people while you level up? That's basically what makes mmo's good for me. I'll still buy this game and enjoy it but that's a bummer. The thing with structured pvp and even WvWvW is that eventually, you're doing the same thing all the time. And it just gets boring after a while. I have a question, how long does WvWvW last for? It says on the wiki that it's every 2 weeks.
Eiram92 1 month ago
@Eiram92 WvWvW lasts 2 weeks long...then resets from what I understand. As far as killing peeps while you level up, I can see the fun in that. But there is a downside. I played one game for a long time that had 2 factions, where there was no faction population cap, and you lost a % of xp everytime you died. And the only place to get max level was a pvp map. So one side had a 60-40 population advantage and would just camp our outpost, effectively stopping any leveling chances.
KonzaCelt 1 month ago
@Eiram92 Extreme case I know, but lopsided populations can really alter playability. There's always the real possibility that ANet will come out with more pvp features, like more maps. They are historically very responsive to player needs and input, as long as general balance is kept.
KonzaCelt 1 month ago 17
@KonzaCelt This is where the 3way fight comes into factor and fixes itself. When 1 side becomes very powerful or overpopulated it naterially start to win. but this also mean it is in control of the stuff the other servers want, like keeps and objectives. because of this that server now has to try to fight off the other 2 servers that are attacking its stuff. when this happens its forces get divided because its trying to defend on 2 fronts

@Eiram92 first I was also a little bit disappointed, that there will not be enemy factions and no "open world pvp". Now I have to say, that is probably the best thing they can do, because a lot of mmo's struggle with the faction-balance (too many horde in wow, too many imp's in swtor, too many defiants in rift, etc.).
I really think gw2 can become "the one" mmo a lot of pvp-players are waiting for since a very long time.

@Eiram92 It lasts for 2 weeks and resets in a few hours. BTW actual world pvp is garbage. Its just a gank fest.

@Eiram92 In the WvWvW zone there will be PVE and pve dynamic events (im sure there will be an inccetive to do these here like better exp) so you can gank or pick on people that are there for PVE. also by doing this it bring out other people that look for you and this can make very fun small group or solo fights away from the large keep sieges

@5swords3 This will never happen in GW2 because Anet has stated time and again they want players to work together to overcome obstacles in the world. It's kinda hard to do that if you're worried about someone else coming up and ganking u. When I first started in GW1 I felt the same way as u but I soon realized that anets way actually works better give it a try u may actually like it. Obtw you should never have to queue in pvp because all pvp is hot joinable.

@99bulldog Well the biggest reason why RuneScape is the most successful and known MMORPG ever is because of it's absolute legendary pvp system with things like the wilderness... I highly doubt ganking (or rushing) will be a problem in GW2 because I doubt there'll be any weapons in GW2 that can kill someone in under 5 seconds.
Btw not all pvp is hot joinable... I just uninstalled WoW because the wait time for pvp is 40 minutes... Open world pvp is joinable at any time. Sucks there won't be any.

The sidekicking to max level, from what I understand, is only for the 5v5 structured pvp arenas. If you leave, you return to your previous level. So I suppose if all you wanted to do with the game is stay in that arena forever...then yeah you would stay at max level. But you're missing 95% of the game if you do that. Guild Wars 2 is an rpg game first, and a pvp game second. Besides, the world pvp (which requires normal leveling) is where the action will really be methinks.
KonzaCelt 1 month ago
@KonzaCelt while in structured pvp (5v5) you are max level, have access to all skills and have the max level armour and weapons, when you leave you go back to what you had before. In WvWvW you are sidekicked up to max level but keep your skills, armor and weapons you brought with you, in this way a real max level player will be better than a lvl 20 character sidekicked up. In WvWvW you can gain experience and items that you keep when you leave. So you may start WvWvW as lvl 20 and leave lvl 24

@RICKAY747 The player does not immediately attain max level just from doing pvp. You can go in at level 1, be max lvl for the duration of the battle and when it's over, you are back at level 1. I'm sure that only real competitive pvp will be at max level. It also has to do with leveling up and learning how to use your abilities in different situations and in different ways. Like someone may be really good at warrior, and then try to switch to elementalist and suck because they don't understand

What is the point of making a pve character then
When u can get everything instant and highest level instantly
if you make a pve character from level 1 and level him up to 80 surely you have a bit of uniquenes from people that just get highest level instantly. Do you have diffrent looking armour or a title or something? i just find it frustrating that someone could just get to my level instantly and have everything that i worked for and earned,,

@RIKAY747 You do not "level up" that way, you are only temporarily "made" top-level and geared for that one match of structured PvP, and then "go back".

@ShadawGaming That's only for the battleground type pvp, where you are given access to everything for the battlegrounds, so that it's equal for everyone. So no more going into a battleground with your character that has crap gear and facing people that have the best pvp gear in the game. Like wow, rift, and aion do for instance.
For everything else you need to hit level 80 and get a good set of gear, and then it's a whole new ball game because max level gear works like gw1 max level gear.
