Guild Wars 2

This is the BEST terrible idea ever, anywhere. You can now retire from posting any more threads. You have have won.. and you will never be able to top this.

Time to move on to other things.

To the OP..

I think you misunderstand the critics. A lot of complaints are from LONG time fans of the franchise. I have been a huge fan of arena net since the launch of Guild Wars 1. I constantly provide support to arena net with money out of MY pocket. I tend to think that arena net values its fan base.. let alone fans who fiscally contribute to their success.

I have a hard time logging on these days and playing the game for hours at a time. Yet, I still check the forums almost everyday and still browse for some cool stuff to purchase from the gem store. I try to find new ways to play the game and to enjoy the characters I have built and created. As was said earlier, do not discredit others because you are a casual player who enjoy playing casually. MMO’s have a history of being for the long term players. Trust me when I say that when all of the hardcore players decide to stop playing the game.. this game will surely die.

With all due respect, the hardcore players opinions should be heard and respected or else the game you claim to love so much will start to die.. once that happens the game becomes a LOT less fun…

“Nice thing about GW1 is the diversity of builds.”

If you want to camp one element at all times, you’re not getting the point of ele’s. In fact that’s what other classes do.

And I agree with Fuzzion.

Someone has not played Guild Wars 1. =)

I understand where you are coming from in this game. But stance dancing is only a requirement with dagger. Which also happens to be the most balanced weapons for this class.

Unfortunately, I don’t really have any ideas to bring to the table so I will just take a seat back and see where this discussions ends up.

I had a dream that my Charr was transformed into a Nightelf… OMG it was horrible…

It was more than just stats. Almost everything about Guild Wars 1 (except the graphics) were better.

If half of the community left back to play Guild Wars 1, I would probably follow. Guild Wars 2 just does not have the depth of its predecessor… I am glad that it has made ANET a ton of money but I am afraid that the Guild Wars franchise is just a shadow of its former self.

Why is it that people feel warriors are so kitten OP. Warrior greatsword was fine before the condition meta..

First, quickness got nerfed. This nerfed all heavy crit/burst builds not just warrior.

Then Warrior Greatsword was nerfed on top of that due to the changes in the first tree, and the move from Empowered trait.

I don’t want any trolls in this thread but I would welcome any honest discussion regarding Warriors. This is in terms of PVP (WvW or Arena). I actually think that despite popular opionion, the warrior skills are actually pretty good. The damage on the other hand is another story.

Warrior 1 needs buff.
Warrior F1 Burst needs to be a freakin burst ability.. how in the hell does the burst ability hit for about the same as Warrior 1 skill.. which is terrible.

I want your opinions and your aguements, if warrior greatsword should be buffed or why not.

I’m not exactly sure about this, adrenaline still builds up super quickly. I do not like the concept of passive adrenaline play-style. To me, that is bad design. I got no problem with burst abilities being situational.

In regards, to those who traited for adrenal health. They do take a heavy nerf, because now they actually have to account for gaining adrenaline rather than relying on a passive for sustain. You have to understand though, this build was a gimmicky build though.

Would you have all warriors get nerfed because of a gimmick? I actually applaud ANET for the changes. But I welcome proper discussions like these.

You sure love to dodge around the questions. Prove that this is no exception and tell me of other Norn who have achieves this feat.

Furthermore, the capability of the norn is equal to the capability of anything else or anyone else. You cannot argue about the potential of a Norn to do anything vs anyone else. There are billions of athletes with the potential to play professional sports yet not even 1 percent of the population have accomplished this feat.

What is the portential of one Sylvari (Scarlet Rose) to build a crap ton of robots and invade Tyria?

Point is that if you want to stregnthen your argument then you need to incorporate a plethora of scenario’s reguarding the races stregnths and weaknesses. Of course it all comes down to how good each opponent fights on that particular day. But in my arguement I have included just a few reasons and explanations of my examples and why I feel the way that I do. One fight one time won’t prove much of anything. Give facts, scenario’s and you also need to look at both the strengths and weaknesses of the race.

Firstly, I would like to start off and say that I am really enjoying this debate. However, I believe too much emphasis is placed on strength and strength alone. The art of fighting is much more by strength.

eg. Remember when Battista tried to fight in the UFC? LOL

I am not saying that strength isn’t important because I personally believe that it is. But there is much more of a science to fighting than any individual statistics. Especially, when it comes to something like Charr vs Norn where their strengths are not exactly directly comparable.

1. Charr were bred to fight and endure. Let us take both a Norn and charr.. and beat them both down to where they are so tired and beat up that they could barely walk. Who would be able to endure and have enough stamina to get up and continue fighting?

My vote would definitely be for the Charr, they were basically bred for this.

2. Aggression in my opinion is much more important than strength in a fight. Who can deny that the Norn warrior is an absolute kitten… but these norns are not fighting bears or gorilla’s. These are Charr.. possibly the most savage race in the World of Tyria..

My vote would be that the Charr would possess the most aggression solely based on the fact that not only is this a natural characterstic of the species.. but once again.. they were also bred this way.

I don’t personally believe that a Norn would be that much (if at all) stronger than a Charr warrior. However, assuming a slight advantage in strength given to the Norn. I don’t think that would impact the battle at all.

These are not little kittens, cubs, or even tigers. These are Charr, more comparable to the old werewolves from the 90’s movies (back before vampires walked in the sun and sparkled), the ones with walked with 2 legs, full of rage, huge fangs. claws, and just straight savage beasts.

“but the Charr are more threatening to me”

kitten right we are!

In a proper group, melee stacking, with limited dodging greatsword blows hammer out of the water. But it amazes me how people seem to think that Greatsword is so godlike in dungeons.

Greatsword is only significantly higher if you are melee stacking properly on mobs. Otherwise, its really not that great..

Try doing what the man says instead of posting your troll responses. In a normal group without melee stacking it does not do more damage but it is on par in terms of damage.

I have tried many builds for warrior my opinion is unbiased. I have preference but I could care less if a build is optimal or sub-optimal but I can say that his points are completely valid.

To the OP

This has become even more of a problem lately, with some servers ahve 10+ AC’s inside of one tower, absolutely destroying the ability to siege a tower with anything short of 60 players.

I disagree with this. I believe that if your opponents have 10 well places arrow carts, then its supposed to be hard to take that tower. That is kind of the point, in my opinion this is what is lacking in WvW. There is absolutely not enough effort put into defense. There is way to much capturing and abandoning taking place.

Everyone who has played WvW for more than 30 minutes has experienced situations like this:

Just wanted to point out that it does not matter if you have a million arrow carts if you have nobody available to man the siege. Looking at that screenshot it appears you are the only defender.

Currently, it takes half a second to stand below a wall and throw an arrow cart up above at it where it can only be hit by 1 or 2 skills, while still raining death on everyone down below. This “fixed” placement would make it actually able to be destroyed by players on the outside. Yes, this would prevent 5 people from being able to defend a structure from 30 people, but how realistic is it for them to be able to do that anyways?

It would require actual players to be there to defend AS WELL as the siege being placed. The siege is supposed to ->Supplement<- the army, not be the army.

In my opinion, I feel that seige is a bit lackluster in comparison to getting out their and fighting off your attackers. Currently, seige is really only affective to support ground defenses. Seige alone will not repel any zerg without ground forces.
