What is the official reasoning for Asc buff?
in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns
Posted by: Antiriad.7160
Hi, since I’m basically only playing WvW (not interested in Grinding, hence I bought this game since it was announced as completely no-grind on launch), I have ignored the Asc-Exo difference so far even though it was pretty annoying and always pretended that when I, as a roamer, got into a small scale fight, that if they have Asc gear it won’t matter that much and it’s still an almost fair fight..
However, with the new Buff to Asc gear I am not sure if I can still keep the facade up. However, I know that since Colin Johanson already lied once to us back then they will go through with this too no matter what, since he’s already gone back on his word, no big issue for him to make it a bit worse now.
So, just what I want to know is, what is the official reason that they thought the discrepancy between Exo and Asc needs to further increased?
Thanks in advance!

For those who bash others because they say that they don’t want to pay another $50, please keep in mind that depending on the region of the world you’re playing from the value of $50 might mean much more, same for the money that has to be shelled out in the gem store.
Especially for us in North/western Europe buying a certain amount of gems for a mini pet etc has a totally different ring to it than for people in other Regions, by a factor of like x10 if compared to buying power of monthly wages.
This is a common issue in every MMO that has an integrated shop with unified pricing for everyone.

For the “Portal Exeunt” skill the ranged indicator never turns red even if exceeding 5000, very annoying as opposed to other skills here you only have one attempt and it’ll trigger and go on cooldown even if you were too far. This could also be fixed maybe: If the skill is too far, don’t allow it to trigger.

Hi, I just reached level 40 on my Mesmer and wanted to expand my inventory by adding another bag slot.
However, it seems the 400 gems this requires cost almost 80g. o_O And that’s only for one slot. Isn’t this way too expensive, or is there a way to make this amount of money quickly that I don’t know about?

Haha, I just read in another forum post that the LFG tool still allows people on your block list to join.
I feel like I can derive the answer to my OP from that. The gw2 devs are just unbelievable.

Hi, just thought about playing again, but I’d first like to know whether Ele finally got (out of combat) weapon switch by now.
If not then I think I just won’t bother with gw anymore.

For the reasons mentioned here and the general wvw situation stated in other threads I actually stopped playing, just waiting for Camelot Unchained now (or some miracle that restores the fun).
I’m just curious how many other players did the same.

Just reroll a warrior. All the “fresh air” build stuff is good and all, UNTIL you actually play warrior class for yourself. Then you realize that there is no point making a chore out of elementalist play when you can just relax and accomplish more with less effort, and there is more fun and less struggle.
I mained ele and I’m playing warrior now, and it’s pretty ridiculous if you’re coming from Ele land. Basically all your skills have much shorter cds while actually doing more, and all attacks are automatically wide-range aoe (hit with melee weapon -> even stuff behind you might get hit), no need for “oh, nice, lightning whip” – no, it’s crap and bs actually in comparison.
Also, my warrior was already far more mobile at level 7 than my Ele at 80, thanks to weapon switching and the movement skills offered by warhorn+sword and greatsword. No idea why they nerfed RTL, they must just hate the class or be complete kittens whom someone kitten in their head, really.
Best thing is you dont need wrist surgery after trying to play WvW anymore.
I always feel sorry for eles running in wvw switching attunements and toggling frost/shocking aura to keep allies buffed. Sure, it can be “fun”, but in reality it’s just annoying to have to hit keys like an adhd kitten to be of any use.
That being said, unfortunately Warrior is also somewhat boring to play. As a consequence I’ll switch to Camelot Unchained when it comes out.

Best ele build is lava tomb + lightning hammer suicide build. With “blasting staff” trait and of course permanently in water attunement :p (It’s been common knowledge that Eles using more than 1 attunement are considered oddities by the devs after all).
I recommend food that gives +100% downed health, enjoy the class that has an awesome build specifically for dying (at least if you want to deal damage without getting wrist surgery).^^

I just want ANETS reply. I hope the dev also got infracted like OP
Assuming said “Dev” wasn’t Devon himself.
I’m uninstalling this game. If only I could get a refund for all the gems I’ve bought…
I feel like spending that money was like handing the bully a club to hit us with. /smh
Anyone who still spends real money after they broke with what they promised and introduced Ascended items last year had it coming..
That aside, I find it hilarious that someone would claim “his game mode” over a kitten “product” like WvW, which with the objectives’ flip frequency and lack of actual impact on the world and total lack of feeling of accomplishments is pretty much a third rate fast-paced thing to kill some time, with people in it just hoping that everything will certainly get better soon (which it probably will, when Camelot Unchained comes out).

I play GW2 on Wine on Linux, works perfectly fine on my 64b Arch Linux.
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=26558
The only glitch is that sometimes when Gw2.exe is updated, the transfer speed will drop to zero and the updater will fail with an error message. In that case, the workaround is to delete Gw2.exe, rename Gw2.tmp to Gw2.exe, and retry, then the update will work fine.

Yeah there is a striking difference between the awesome art design guys and the those responsible for class balance, wvw and gear progression. It’s like day and night.
best statistical loot in the game. We want everyone on equal power base.”
The “power suit” seems to be bugged in multiple ways:
1) the damage is super-low, someone must have programmed the wrong numbers
2) you can get knocked down and everything, someone must have accidentallycommented out the program code that prevents this
3) the heal is super-low, again some wrong numbers must be in the program code by mistake.
One of these bugs is already bad, but all three at once cause a pretty severe uselessness of that skill. I nearly died hadn’t I exited the suit quickly enough.
On which I noticed bug:
4) the suit doesn’t appear again when you exit it (compare siege golems).

Anything that could make Ele potentially fun in some way will immediately get nerfed by anet, cause we can’t have that, so..

Well, ascended gear made the game sour to me.
I’m no longer logging in thinking “hey I can do some awesome WvW battles” but “hey I can do wvw and it’ll be unfair cause I don’t do ascended”. Also, I can’t really play a game where the devs lied into your face this blatantly, just impossible.
So I’ll be switching to Camelot Unchained as soon as it’s out, cause this fun here is half-baken. Or Wildstar before that, although just for interim, I want the RvR of Camelot really.

Good job @ traits and skills.
The 3rd option for ground targetting made me chuckle – it’s surely great to have a complete set of options! Give the guy who insisted on it a free soda
Good job @ most changes (those that I can judge). Usually I criticize you hard, but it’s not because I hate you (except for the people who added ascended gear) but because I love the game, same as for most people >.>
Looking forward to more good effort in the future :-s
Stuff missing on your list :-p ->
1) Elementalists get 3k more base health.
2) RTL gets un-nerfed.
3) AoE Healing in WvW gets unnerfed, so cleric items are cool again (1) and 2) are more important though)
PS: Relax with your e-sport craze :-p it’s fine.. (bias: I’m avid wvw’er)

Looking back on arenanet’s way of doing coding/changes, it is probably safe to assume that the land version was nerfed and they forgot about the underwater version.

After shelving my ele I rolled a warrior, I can recommend it (although it’s just level 23 atm^^). Use sword+warhorn and at level 2 you’re more mobile than ele (unless using skills/traits/runes for it) and at 7 you can switch weapons, for very nice convenience, no need to manually move weapons from your inventory as on ele.
Also give engineer a try, friend of mine is playing it and it seems pretty awesome. Get 6x rune of perplexity for him and get your build accordingly (don’t ask me about details about engi though^^).
also, get a chuckle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hh5zjK7ITpQ

I just created a warrior.. skills have shorter cooldowns overall yet more effect than ele skills, you have double the hit points, heavy armour, and at level 7 I was already more mobile than my ele unless I trait/rune him for it or switch weapons out manually (which anet’s game “designers” force you to) :-p
8 seconds of complete cc immunity and 4 seconds of invulnerability (x2 if traited iirc) while having access to all your skills are also nice.
oh and all your auto attacks are AoE that even hit stuff behind you (lol), so you don’t need to put any effort in it :-p

Disclaimer: This is the first time I encountered an opponent like this, usually the fights all go “normal”.
I’m not familiar with warrior skills, but I just had a 3v1 fight where I was defeated in about 10 seconds. Now the strange thing is, I had targetted a warrior, and two things happened (or rather didn’t happen):
1) He didn’t lose any HP at all, his HP bar stayed at max (no red pixel missing, it was 100% full)
2) he was immune to all CC effects.
Is that thanks to special traiting or something? I’m not sure this is working as intended.

I can’t really believe it, although we should be used to it by now from Arenanet..
Searching for “consumables” -> “food” will actually produce no results.
You have to search just for “consumables” -> “all” to show all the food (and it will show all the other consumables too of course -_-)……..

Aion had a lot of humour in its dialogues, I was surprised about that.
And what previous posters said, it’s awesome when games/tv shows aimed at kids have double messages.. some for kids and other stuff that kids will just eat without really getting the “deeper” meaning, but that will make adults chuckle when they watch/play it together with the kids (or by themselves xD), since those are obviously messages directed specifically to them.

And it’s a complete shame on Arenanet. How could they release a patch after a month of this issue coming up, and not fix this? What’s their excuse? They were so worried preparing a stance that would collapse the economy of the game that they didn’t have time to make sure the game itself WORKS?
Dude, Arenanet hasnt fixed the most annoying/simplest to fix bugs over the course of many months. One can only speculate how they manage to create those bugs and why they seem unable (or not willing) to fix them. It’s been a complete mystery right from launch date of the game until today.
Example: Fiery great sword has different internal numbers for the actual range of skills 1 and 2 and the ‘range indicator bars’ that are below those skills. How is that possible? Shouldn’t there be ONE value in the program code that is used in both places? No, apparently they code it in multiple independant places and FORGOT to update one of them. Even if you create code like that, which is already beyond fathoming, how can you forget something like that either? Really.. what the…
There is no way they’re doing industry-standard software testing either with this kind of results.

Huh soldier gear on warrior? Roll a guard bro
i tried with a guardian but guardians are slow, low damage in the rate of damage\survivability.
warrior gives me much more damag if i want while keeping a decent survivability.

It says out of range, although the red out-of-range bar below that skill is not yet displayed, so should still be in range.
weapon: fiery greatsword
attack: 1
target: keep door
lag: none
Edit:
Oh I see.. attack 1 and 2 were obviously originally 900 range same as the other attacks, then they reduced them to 600 and forgot to update the out-of-range indicator, which now still triggers at 900 instead of 600.
just what kind of program code did you write there..

What a spineless and visionless idiot do you have to be to kill all the interesting finesses and play-styles of a class like it has been done here, and how unqualified in balancing do you have to be to damage a class, here Elementalist, into this bad a state.
(I don’t mean to say that it’s only elementalist that has been treated this way, but I haven’t played the other classes back then, so I just cannot tell.)

Edit: Lol yes, so they destroyed another great aspect of Ele over the course of the last 3/4 year. Awesome, at least no need to look back on the class anymore.
