Guild Wars 2

Is there a way to change around the order your guilds appear? Currently my g4 is empty and instead I have a guild after g5 and its chat code is /guild. This issue is not game breaking but very annoying.

This games pvp is in a sad sad state. I hope they eventually pay attention to it.

I got the privilege of playing a 3v5 today. Honestly GW2 pvp has never been good, (my whole pvp guild quit a month after launch). But being over 2 years in and the game at the state it is in is just pathetic.

The nerf is absolutely coming. At this point it’s just gotten to be a joke. But don’t blame people for playing it when they want to win and get the track rewards/daily rewards. If they start comparing the AI to actual skill? Yeah, blame them haha.

I hope the nerf is coming but I’m not sure if the devs play a lot of pvp. Look how long it took for the skyhammer changes.

WoW leaderboard is perfect. How hard can it be to copy that to GW2?

I would not say perfect, (there was a HUGE win trading scandal during one of the seasons to have teams be tied in the number 1 spot), but it is miles ahead of what gw2 has.

It’s the best one i’ve ever seen atleast. The competitiveness and the grind for titles is good for the everyday leaderboard grind.
If I see a player in WoW with a Gladiator title, it’s obviously a good player. I can check the players rating and inspect his PvP achievments.
But in Gw2 there is no indication of what skill-level the specific player is, unless I see him in a tournament.

I totally agree it is definitely the best I have seen. It is a shame GW2 could not adopt a similar system considering it came out after wow and it already had a better system in GW1 than it does now. The reason why wow is still successful today is because they steal good concepts away from other games. They got the idea of their achievement system from Warhammer and got the idea of dynamic quests from GW2. Why can’t Anet just swallow their pride and implement a pvp rating system like wow’s instead of their failure of a system? It blows my mind that this game is over 2 years old and the leaderboard is the worst I have seen of any game I have ever played.

Also nerf turret engis, lets make the game skill based and not npc based.

I would not say perfect, (there was a HUGE win trading scandal during one of the seasons to have teams be tied in the number 1 spot), but it is miles ahead of what gw2 has.

I also wonder how many people from the WTS NA finals team are in the top 25 of the leaderboard. I don’t know the answer but if it is 0 it just shows how terrible the leaderboard is.

In WOW if you had a really high mmr and there was no one quing around mmr you would get matched with a lesser team. If the lesser team lost they would either lose 0 or not a lot of points while you would only gain like 1-3 points (which is not a lot since your rating is prob around 2.6-2.8k)

Even if they could separate the games into brackets based on your rank I would be happy just so I wouldn’t get qued with people who just started playing and do not know what they are doing.

I think everyone knows this but I guess Anet doesn’t? It is still play to win? If you want a real rating system Anet should copy and paste WOW’s arena rating system. For those of you who don’t know you have an mmr and your actual rating. Everyone starts at 0 and you work your way up. Your mmr is essentially your rating you should be winning losing 50/50 at, this means if I play 1,000 games but I am only an average player my rating an mmr will only hover around 1500 and thus games played does not equal top of leaderboards. Also WOW would let you know after every match each teams mmr and how many points you gained/lost or if you lost none at all (the other team had a way higher mmr.

Please fix this Anet.
/rant

I feel like this applies to ranked que even more, I cannot find one decent team solo quing in ranked. Unranked games have been fine for me

Check the thread from people having the same issue from the 9/9 patch, they still have not fixed anything from 3 months ago. They don’t seem to really care because it is not happening to enough people.

I was playing earlier today just fine, just logged back on and was having these issues again.

If in addition to dueling they could also add an inspect feature that would be great. Also while spvp does not revolve around 1v1 you will find yourself in 1v1 occasions which is why it would be nice if they had a dueling feature.

After the patch sometimes when I play I will have the fps issues and other times it will be perfectly fine, at the moment I am having the fps issues after playing smoothly all day yesterday.

Is there still anyway to get it? I just started playing again after Halloween and saw that the vendor is only selling the mini prince and 20 slot bags.

Guys, can you check with GPU-Z your “Bus Interface” parameter?

http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/2398/techpowerup-gpu-z-v0-7-9/mirrors

Mine it’s like “PCI-E 2.0 x16 @ x16 2.0” when game runs well, and “PCI-E 2.0 x16 @ x1 2.0” when game fails.

My bus interface is N/A. Any suggestions?

Would love an update, game is unplayable in big fights getting 1-3 fps. Can’t even really do regular pve content.

Thanks, I forgot about how the daily chest worked for fractal level.

Can you only get 1 daily fractal chest a day now? I did a level 24 and got a chest, then did a level 32, (my personal level was 30), and got not chest.

What do you guys think of grabbing XII in soul reaping for the +50% crit chance in DS. The theory being that you cast your wells then pop DS to have almost 100% critting wells. The build would look something like 0/2/2/4/6 or 0/4/0/4/6 if you want to use spectral wall and get fear to damage.

I have not done PvE in a while and was wondering what the ideal fractal/dungeon group consists of.

Realized I hate the Dynamic Tempered Spinal Blades blue and want the red back-piece. Is there anyway I can change it via dyes or putting it back into the mystic toilet?

I only need 250 more spinal blades for the ascended version. Where are some places I can still farm spinal blades?

How about we get the 5 best skyhammer trolls and have them play 5 anet devs for 8 hours. Then they will see why skyhammer should be removed. It’s as if they don’t even play the game.

Why have they dropped? Is there a way to craft them or still obtain them?

Where is the best place to farm blades for the back-piece with the new update?

This map is the worst pvp map I’ve seen in any mmo, who are your testers anet? A bunch of trolls?

Constantly in and out of top 25 in solo que, I am rank 29 overall. LF a tpvp guild that is flexible with teams and times. I run bunker guardian and engi home bunker. I can also play mesmer and necro very well.

Feel free to whisper me in game.

I’m R28 Guard bunker and play necro, currently ranked top 25 in solo que. I don’t do team que much cause i have the same problem as you with time commitments. Feel free to whisper me in game.

Hey I was wondering what the ranger community thinks which one of these two races has better cosmetics for medium armor and lore for a ranger. I was kind of leaning towards charr just because I had an orc hunter in wow and I figured charr would be the closest thing to orcs. Any non-troll input is appreciated.

I’ve had 25 stacks of bloodlust all night on magbl. How many times has pyro and agg wiped tonight? pyro maybe 3/4 agg maybe 5?

Jade Quarry just got wrecked at Mag’s garrison.

#magswag

And by wrecked do you mean left to protect bay from sos?

Scryed.9423:

I like how you baddies come here crying and post things that are over the top exaggerated. You have no clue about traits, skills, or passives other than oh boy this one skill is so much better than my mains /teargates.
It’s really annoying, like all of these nerf threads from all of you terrible players.

What would be grand is some knowledge from anyone whose posting stuff like this, or some videos/skills/anything that even remotely backs up your claims. I know you THINK its unfair, but with no evidence other than, man these two skills they stack are crazy and op (what it takes how many trait points to get that no wayyyyyyyyy! You mean they are built to soak up damage and do nothing ever thats crazy talk they hit me for like 938019831092313) you should post something where anyone will take you seriously.

My proof of warrior being op is rolling one and facerolling spvp right away. And in the beginning I only knew what the hammer adrenaline skill did and hammer 5 skill did. So if I can dominate in spvp having no experience with the class I’d say the class is pretty op.

I would create an asura warrior then sylvari and go into spvp to check out their skill animations. I personally LOVE the asura warrior animations and their t3 armor so I chose asura.

Malik.6781:

Totally agree with OP, stop making “nerf topics” when warriors actually needs a baff, please give portal ability and invis in next patch.

And this portal buff shouldn’t be limited to 20 people, it should be unlimited.

But in all seriousness welcome to the world of being overpowered. People will crank out the nerf threads until the warrior is balanced. This happened to the thief at the beginning of the game and look at the thief forum now. People are saying they will quit their thief because they have been nerfed so much.

The chat used to fade after a few seconds but now it fades instantly, as in 0 seconds.

Sorry I forgot this in my original post, but guardians sig heals them for around 8k health. Warriors heals for a fraction of that I think the sig heal should heal around 6k at least

Lighter.5631:

10k hammer crit? oh please, stop hitting them light armor uplevels, wvw zerg hero. why even mention the stun, normal crits and stun crits are the same crits.

This is false, stun crits have a 3% chance of not happening for me, this isn’t acceptable.

Whenever I type something it instantly disappears from the chat window if I don’t have the chat window up. Anyone know a solution?

Harper.4173:

Lol – I haven’t even played thief.. That’s the deal – you can claim whatever you want on the forum but that doesn’t make it evidence.
And so can I.
And ultimately even if you do beat me – how does that prove anything?
You’re missing the point – the point is just because you made a class and beat some people with it – that doesn’t make the class OP.
Maybe you’re just skilled – maybe the people you played against were bad.
Maybe you didn’t even do what you claimed you did. The bottom line is you can’t use that sort of thing as a true and tested argument.

Go play one in spvp for two hour, then we will both have the same amount of experience with the classes. You are saying thiefs are op and can own a warrior so I just want you to prove it. So see you in two hours?

Serious question though rating classes upper-tier, mid-tier, and lower-tier where would you rate the warrior right now?

In all honestly I think warriors need a buff.

Lets look at the class.
HP: the necromancer has more hp with death shroud, warriors hp should at least be buffed to the 26k range with a zerker amulet.
X skill in Defense trait line: (Merciless Hammer): wtf this should apply to all weapons
Healing Signet: this thing only tics for just over 400hp, should be about 650 to make it balanced.
IX in Defense trait line: (Cleansing Ire): it only removes 1 condition for every bar of adrenaline spent? If it’s only going to be 1 then it should at least transfer the condition to the target.
III in Discipline trait line: (Warriors Sprint): 25% movement when wielding a melee weapon? First it should apply to all weapons, second this shouldn’t even be a trait, it should just come standard with the warrior.
Dolyak Signet and Balanced Stance: only 8 seconds of stability from each of these? Seems a bit low. Anet should bump it up to 15 seconds each so I can actually get the stomp off for once.
Lastly, with a zerker amulet in spvp I only have 97% chance to crit on a stunned foe (no furry buff) this is unfair and it should be 100%, 3% leaves too much uncertainty of whether or not I will crit my stunned opponent.

I think if they make these changes the warrior might be on par with the rest of the classes.

P.S I just rolled a warrior today so I’m sure there are a lot more issues with the class that make it underpowered.

Harper.4173:

Again – cool story.
I 1 shot all classes on my thief too.

DId he not have stunbreaks?

Lets just 1v1 right now, I’ll got hammer war, (which I have played for 2 hours), and you play your thief, then we can report back to this thread the truth

Harper.4173:

And I’ll just take you up on that.

Now replace your post’s keywords : Warrior = thief. Hammer = dagger. etc.
We can all claim we played the other class and face rolled. 30 minutes on a class doesn’t prove a point – except for the fact that you’re biased.

I don’t comment on other classes since I don’t really play them – so I don’t really know their inner workings apart from what I can experience by fighting with/against them.

Also warrior regen is strong because we can’t just stealth out or blink out of a fight.

A thief back stabbed me then I hammer stunned him and 3 shot him. Not to mention I have more hp then the thief, crazy regen, great at not dying from conditions.

Also if I was actually paying attention I would have taken out my shield to avoid the backstab and then just 3 shot the thief with 100%hp

Harper.4173:

Yeah – you have no idea. He irritated the hell out of us by killing 2 of the squishy classes and forcing us into defending them and being unable to move.
ONE man locked down a very successful squad of 5. That’s not OP at all.

Your claims of not being killed once are laughable. Do you have anything else to back it up?

All you’ve done with this thread is vented by throwing mud at a class that you dislike. You’ve offered no constructive solutions, you’ve offered no idea on how to improve other classes, you’ve basically just pointed the finger and said " I don’t like this, Anet- nerf it plz plz or i quit".

Why did you even post? The value of your post is null. Void. If you want to be taken seriously take a moment and consider that when you post something your fellows on the forums deserve a modicum of decency. Bring some arguments, some solid arguments not things you just made up along the way.

I can make a thread now going " Nerf thief it is so op " where I will detail how " With my level 80 thief ( that i don’t even have) I have roflstomped through entire zergs, and never died once ever since making that character".
Fun stuff right?

Can you please go to the thief forum immediately and check out the state of the thief. Even using the best thief builds they are still sub-par. Also if a thief is able to troll your group of 5 your team is not good. Hammer warrior should be 3 shotting that bugger.

Harper.4173:

If you’re saying thief is trash you have NO idea what you’re talking about.
I’ve encountered thieves in both sPVP and WvW that were incredibly good and were almost untouchable.

Hammer has some of the slowest animations in the game. You literally have to be asleep to miss a dodge or a skill that allows evade on those attacks.

Thief is trash sine the #3 S/D nerf, head on over to the thief forum and you will see everyone complaining and saying they are quitting the class.

Heta.8629:

If the nerf criers would give a build that they think is OP including traits , utilities, armor, runes and sigils then people who actually play warrior would be able to tell them what the strengths and counters to the build are. Most people calling nerf in this thread are referring to the 30/30/30/30/30 and 10 utility skill build

0/10/30/0/30 as long as you have a hammer and the ability to press keys 1-5 and your adrenaline key it’s pretty faceroll.

Eles used to be op but at least they had a highish skill cap, hammer warriors skill cap might be the lowest in the game.

Just rolled a war in spvp for the first time ever, face rolled everyone and for the first half hour I only knew what the hammer adrenaline skill and hammer 5 skill did. If a thief came near me I’d block his initial burst then 3 shot him. Warriors need a nerf in their regen, damage, access to two 8 second stabilities, and condi removal. If you think they don’t deserve this you are delusional.

What would you say are the best runes to use?

I was expecting more out of DB after posting in the T1 thread all the time saying they were going to jump to T1 in all the previous weeks.
