State of RA spring 2010: even more unplayable than ever before.

cantalus · Apr 26, 2010, 08:08 PM // 20:08

add to the list pps who don't understand that cover is good v spears, arrows and some ele damage, pps who res monks first when two pps are dead, pps who rush forward with little energy when they wipe a party on the crag, pps who don't understanding chokes and balling, two healer teams that don't resign

first came accross blue in aspenwood a long time ago, he/she used to join, insult and then leech faction in the far corner

Srsly. Saw a guildy pinged his build with 12 Marks and 12 WS and 3 Expert. Told him to reduce Marks and raise Expert up, but he said he'll do less damage with his "spike" build.

can not be bothered finishing of my g7 with 60 pts to go. havent got more than 10 ever since it ta got delted.

u got monks who die to life siphon dervs as this guy says. u got life siphon dervs who cant kill when there is a average monk, u got wammos, terrible rangers

its just a breeding place for noobs who dont even try to improve its just amazing to be honest, i mean how can you not realize that that flare just sucks on a warrior.

Ra was ok before they mixed all districts because at least i could go to int or asia dis now the decent players have to put up with these scrubby americans.

i really reckon they just bring back ta, if anything competition in TA will be alot better now because back then decent players could farm ra. Now that ra is mixed, the decent players would not want to put up with scrubs in RA and play with other decent glad people in TA.

is it too hard for anet to realize badex arena is total fail. At least with TA it was kinda active for 4 years till they deleted it. with badex it died after the 1st week.

Lol, Blue.. at the time LC was 5e and 33% he was under the certain impression Life Transfer was the better choice; got to love this guy.

There are some points missing tho:

-Warriors still cry the most (like little babies every time they have to play against a Bsurge)
-Bsurge Eles still are attacker/melee-magnets, all balling at them desperately to camp Bsurge 24/7 hoping to interrupt it because their team has no shut down whatsoever
-Attackers who spam "I am blind!" in the team chat a 100000 times
-There are still lots of predictable hammer warriors knocklock camping and linebacking who get their Dev Hammer Dshot
-Warriors still frenzy too much and die to Empathy and Ineptitude or VoR
-Assassins still overextend the most
-The bad players in a team still call every healer as primary target in the beginning of every match
-The bad players in a team are still so happy about a few consecs that they start /dancing
-Monks still fall for the old Empathy -> interrupt Hexremoval trick
-Ritualists still place their spirits too late at the start of a match, getting them interrupted
-Rangers still use apply poison in longbow range of other rangers getting it dshot
-Assassins still get their lead attacks diverted
-High rank still is no guarantee for a clue
-Rangers still all too obviously camp in the face of their interrupt target, unable to spread poison at the same time as interrupting
-Mesmers and Rangers still camp/hex the enemy monks with shame, diversion, backfire, interrupts and blackout them; even when there is zero pressure on them
-Rangers still spam random interrupts around - which are called "prediction" when they hit, and "poison spreading" when they don't
-Eles still don't go out of range of enemy mesmers/rangers before casting their attunements
......more

-Rangers still drag on matches for hours trolling and running with stances on
-Monks still ragequit when you're not running wiki bars
-People still refuse to resign when there's 4 healers on your team
-Assassins are cowboys....
MEH RA

soooo many monks still fall for that empathy->tab->p block cure hex/pleak veil trick. instantly they are in a big hole and pretty much just crumble. generally against decent monks that hold a veil on the frontline/cover the veil/cancel the hex removal, this isnt that easy though.

as for the warriors with hammers, they tend to just unload their bar in the same order all the time so its stupidly easy to d shot one of their skills. rarely do you find a warrior thatll wait on crushing till after bash (when appropriate)-> prot strike, or crushings after they land a bulls, but when you come across them, you know itll be a tough match.

i havent been able to play much lately cuz its nearly the end of the semester so the projects/papers/tests are consuming all my time, but the little bit i have been on, ive noticed ra has been exponentially worse than before.

Missing HB · Apr 28, 2010, 08:12 AM // 08:12

I guess it's time to change title again and put 1-2win=1 point ( of course with requiring more points for each rank ) , it's seriously a pain to do 5 consec ( which is only 1 point ) when you get necros with bow , no healers 3/4 of time , w/mo farmers with no armors , or when you finally get a monk , you have to fight bsurger and bot mesmer .

And yes , like superraptors said , sometimes you start winning some , believing your team/healer is ok , then you start dying to nothing ( i.e earth ele + 3 healers ).

Also , they should delete codex and replace it with imo any arena ( maybe 2 ppl seriously enjoy codex in the game , since the 4-5 other ppl sync it all the day ) . Dead after 2 days and nothing done to make it better .

Nerf Me Haha · Apr 28, 2010, 04:11 PM // 16:11

I wish I played TA more when it was around , Codex is so bad that it hurts my eyes :P

And yea, RA fails, especialy when it's the ZQuest. You just can't win with a Wammo or an Ele that thinks that spamming Healing Breeze is good.

Healthy Spice · Apr 28, 2010, 05:16 PM // 17:16

well, i laughed.

and you forgot FIRE STORM WARRIORS!

(seen 5 like this week.)

-Pluto- · Apr 28, 2010, 05:32 PM // 17:32

Firestorm is legit though. Firestorm along with Hamstring forms an especially deadly combo. So much fun to watch foes slowly limping away as you rain fire on them.

Played RA for 1 hour now and I think you should add to the list:

-[RenO]
-[dR]

From about 20 matches I played,8 of them had [RenO] and [dR] monk's on the same team...RenO was always stupid/syncer guild,but [dR] is new for me.

Missing HB · Apr 29, 2010, 09:25 AM // 09:25

Yes that is extremly annoying : today , upon the few times i had an " ok " team-up , i finally had to fight that sync team with [RenO] ppl and [dR] monk ( war , necro , mes/ranger and monk , a build which is quite hard to beat with a random team( i.e 3 melee/3 caster , etc..) ) and i kept losing at 5th consec to that team .

This is really pathetic , when you see RA as became a " joke " arena since the end of TA , and people have to sync to win .
But anyway , people do sync gvg , RA( even abuse HA arena ( dead hours , 1v1 , etc..)), and nothing was done for months/years ,so...

I personally don't mind having "competition" in RA, and it's fun tearing them apart when you have a strong, legit random team for it. I've taken them out on several occasions, and while it is pretty unfair to get rick-rolled by them if you have a team of newbs with no monk or strong dps'ers, I don't exactly mind it. I like facing off against tough players like RenO, IWAY, dR, etc., tbh.

RenO and dR are tough players? This is news to me.

He probably considers 'rawr and friends' a strong guild too.
