Guild Wars 2

hit stuff they have LOS on. It’s getting redicoulous now, arrow carts/catapults etc in crazy places just blind firing and hitting stuff over walls

You knew from the start that they were only skins and no stats. It needs to keep it that way. Those of us who have very little play time should not be penalised because we will never be able to get one.
It’s a good system.

Sounds to me like you were being a bit elitist. I probably would have kicked you as well….

Hope you took screenshots. Get them reported, they will banned from the game faster than they can spell grieving.

Excelliate.7914:

Those aren’t hairstyles, those are helmets from the sylvari cultural armor.

Really? Which cultural tier? Don’t remember seeing them….

Well until we get numbers that show what it takes to make a server appear as “full” we will never know. It could take like 100 players to make it say full for all we know…

Anyone else noticed these npc’s in game? Why aren’t these hair styles available to the player, i’d love to be able to have my sylvari with one

This a bug or are they staying for a little while longer?
By this I mean stuff such as the wind noises, bat noises, where it plays the theme tune in chimes etc

Ugh, putting everything in chests. Way to make an event that was fun in GW1 into nothing but a who has a bigger wallet contest…..

Only last night i spam opened quite a few of them, BEFORE the event started. Now that pretty much means i am out of pocket as I didn’t even know they would be dropping event stuff.

Once again, the fans are misguided and made to feel like they have wasted money….

Bit of a heads up would be you know, appreciated next time arenanet.

^^ To Avatar. It’s pretty much a bit from each of the things you said.

Small organised team is fun
massive brain dead zergs are not.

Which is fine but how does that translate to an open-world arena? There’s no organization, any number of people can jump in, and your team would only extend as far as your party. Otherwise it’s that brain-dead zerg you were just mentioning.

I’m guessing you didn’t play GW1 then…..

rook.4625:

^

What?! WvWvW isn’t enough for you?! What about sPvP or tPvP? Wait, are you talking about PvE? Oh, well then…

Yeah i’m a PVE player so that pvp stuff doesn’t interest me one bit. Shame really, since there is barely any pve content left…

Corian.4068:

I don’t understand what would make an arena fun when your feelings towards WvW are “meh”.

Small organised team is fun
massive brain dead zergs are not.

Rpgtabbycat.5869:

Just for you because you asked that this game be more like GW1, we will let you have:

1. The return of the death penalty. It still caps out at -60% for you. You can run to any of the major cities to have it removed.

2. You only get 8 skills on your bar now.

3. No in game mail for you. No Trading Post either. It wasn’t in GW1, so you can’t have them in GW2.

4. Also no rings, necklaces or trinkets of any kind. You can make everyone jealous though by wearing a cape. It has no stats. It’s just for looks.

5. Oh and your level cap will be stuck at level 20. Sadly it means you won’t get to unlock your elite at level 30 but since you only have 8 slots this shouldn’t be a problem for you.

6. You can no longer jump or swim. Again, not in GW1.

7. No crafting professions for you. You don’t get to have the deposit all collectables option on your bag. And your bags max out at one 5 slot belt pouch and two 10 slot bags. You can still get the equipment pack though.

8 No mystic forge. Sorry.

There’s probably other things I’ve forgotten. But I think by now you get my point.

and yet the first game just felt better than GW2, even comparing each at launch….
Hard to put my finger on it but Gw1 had something special and a magical feeling to it. GW2 doesn’t have any of that

Sib.1236:

Have you completed you personal story line? That may be an option if not

(sorry don’t know how to multi quote)

Yeah finished it before I stopped playing. Was very disappointed with the whole thing to be fair. Felt a bit rushed and clustered with a terrible ending…

I loved GW1, it kept me busy for almost 2k hours over the years I played it.
I’ve lost interest in GW2 already and barely hit the 300 hour mark =(
I wish the game was more like GW1 instead of trying to be a generic MMO like all the rest but that is an empty dream =(

Sib.1236:

why don’t you start working on some titles, do a jumping puzzle or 2.
For me what keeps me in the game apart from the game its self is being able to enjoy it with my guild mates

Do titles even work in this game? can’t say i’ve actually noticed any on anyone….

Nope no end game yet. Fingers crossed they give us some in the near future though

No but they are greatly needed. For a game that wants team support, raiding is the ultimate teamwork features.

Myself, I haven’t logged into the game in just over 2 weeks now. I’m just that bored of it. There doesn’t seem to be really anything to do once you hit 80 except repeat the same mundane content over and over. On my server, the dungeon running scene is near dead so I cannot do those and WVW is just terrible at the moment. That just leaves spvp which i’m not really fond of…
I’d really like to get back into the game and was just wondering, what keeps the rest of you who are still playing busy?

What, no tourney? =(

Killing you in a low amount of skill usage, with high damage in a short amount of time.
This is a broken class.

Momotaro.1957:

Targeting is not broken. Just because someone fails to adapt to a new system, does not make it broken. Please, go back to the typical MMO if you rather have it that way.

I prefer the current targeting system.

Not broken? NOT broken? Are you smoking something?
SO you are happy with the game dropping your target mid fight for no reason and you wasting a skill cooldown?
Are you happy with using your elite/strong skill only for it hit a pet that appears from no where?
Are you happy with getting a player to almost death only to have it switch your target and waste cooldowns on another target?

If you are you obviously aren’t a very good player…

Getting sick of it automatically dropping target or selecting another mid fight. I use my strongest attack only for it to target it’s self to a pet and waste the skill. This is frustrating and making the game unbearable to play.

About the net, it is a terrible immobilise. Heck, if a player is simply moving normally it misses the large majority of the time.

As people said this is a gimmick build which relies on lots of lucky set ups to be effective. Don’t let it make you think the class has redeemed it’s self…

The love for the Engineer is no longer there. I tried to love the class, I really did but the problems with the class outshine the plusses. Fingers crossed we get some much needed time investment soon and I am able to come back to it. Wanted to play an Engineer ever since they were announced, oh the disappointment of playing one =(

So it’s now Mesmer for PVP and warrior for PVE and wow, i’m actually able to do things again =)

It scales with level yes but you don’t get any extra for stacking stats to try and boost it from weapons mainly.

Actually learn to heartseeker properly then instead of spamming it.
GOOD that it’s missing, might make you think a bit more.

The targeting being horrible is the nail in the coffin that stopped me playing the game. I thought star wars was the worst I have ever witnessed, until I started playing this game.

It’s a simple fix as well, simply but a “lock” on the target until you want to switch to another but no, Arenanet tried to be all “lets make a new system!” and broke it.

Xocolatl.6890:

When Is switch to healing kit, is it possible to use the same key to switch back (similar to going to grenade kit)? Or is the “drop item” key the only way to switch back to your previously used weapon?

Oh, and another question.
The Bandage does pretty pitiful amount of healing right now. Does it scale with level? Or is the only way to scale them is to use the +heal items? (In which case..wouldn’t that make my character a horrible solo?)

Can only use the drop. Pressing 6 again simply “switches” back to the kit. Good for spamming the trait skill I guess.
Also none of the kits scale with any stat. That’s one of the problems we have as an Engineer.

Should make a t-shirt “I bought the DDE and all I got was this crummy elite and mini pet I can’t use!”

Also, yes, I was also stupid enough to buy it as well….

Reihert.1509:

I surely hope so.
More content is always wanted.
On the other hand, MoP release will do a lot of good to our community.

What will it do to help our community? :S

Make it far smaller so arenanet has less people to please.

Jack of Tears.9458:

Thief stealth only lasts a couple seconds … so you want to take away their stealth completely, on top of doing damage to them? Heck, while we’re at it, let’s take away their traps and guns.

BS. There are Thieves out there who can be in stealth pretty much permanently AND attack while in stealth.

Stealth NEEDS to not trigger/break if covered with DOT’s or hit with AOE, like it is SUPPOSE to do.

Sorry but once it is capped it takes 1 player to pretty much sit and hold the point.
As I said, such a bad map. You can rush him with 3 people but you are going to die.
Get all your team to take it? Ok but the hassle you will have here means the other team caps the other points if they don’t already have them.

OUTSIDE of water. It’s quite frustrating that I need to jump into a patch of water, sit there for 5 minutes (possibly while being attacked) just to get on some decent skills.

This is worse in the spvp map raid on the capricorn there it is pretty much impossible to set up a skill bar under water due to either being munched to death by sharks or targeted by players the moment you dive under. Fix it please.

Exactly about the portal. People have been using this cheap trick since launch and arenanet has turned a blind eye. Proof that in fact, they don’t care about their player base.

To be fair as it currently stands, that “other” game is more polished than GW2 is right now. I wouldn’t even touch GW2 if it was sub right now but the other game I will be.

Like they are suppose to?
This is one of the major things which is clearing the way for Thief’s being a completely OP class. Stealth SHOULD be affected by this stuff but currently isn’t, why?

Everyone knows the current “top servers” have pretty much gotten there with teams using hacks. Please arenanet fix this stuff and reset the servers so we can have some proper battles!

level 80, Engineer, 2/10.

Plus, don’t forget WVW doesn’t fully scale. You still have your kittened year vs his exotic gear. He will win no matter what build he would run.
Don’t let it bother you, Engineers aren’t anywhere near this good on a balanced playing field.

I disagree, its not that the engineer he faced was particularly good, he wasn’t really. He was just going through the motions of the build he was using.

In sPvP for example, I could run the same build and get similar results.

The reason that build shines is because it does huge burst damage, which really hurts low health and low survivability builds. Its like a hard counter to glass cannon builds. It wrecks them in a few seconds.

The thing you should note is: the build has the advantage you see. It does a lot of burst, it does it fast, and its pretty fun.

But you need to note that that was a snappily edited video. He has very little condition removal, damage mitigation and very low health and toughness.

He will die, and he only really excels at single target burst.

Its about pros, and cons, and that video shows the pros very well. But I doubt you will have as much fun as he did, when a slight breeze ruins your day.

The build listed is not that great in spvp any more. It was like 2 betas ago but not any more.

It’s WVW. Builds and such mean nothing in it.

1) the maps and mechanics. Conquest is just terrible. It is quite possibly the worst mechanic you could have chosen for a pvp environment. It promotes nothing but zerging and running around the map in a clockwork fashion getting quick capture points.
Each map has a unique mechanic? Yes but they are all bad. Sharks=bad, trebs= bad, NPC killing=bad.

2) Extremely imbalanced classes. Everyone knows which ones I am on about. These need sorting out ASAP. People are quitting or simply rerolling into these classes. What’s the point in having all the differently classes when pvp will simply end up with the same 3/4? It’s already starting to happen.

3)The downed state and people not ressing. The downed state is one of the worst mechanics I have ever seen in a pvp environment. It doesn’t add anything to the game, it simply takes stuff away. Kill a player only for him to drop you with his downed skills, since, once again, some classes are far OP than others with what skills are on offer. Take it out or give everyone the same downed skills. This leads me onto ressing. Are players actually so clueless as they don’t see players that could turn the tide of a fight on the floor and ignore them completely, pretty much ending up themselves dead as well. Players like this shouldn’t be allowed into pvp before they pass a test or something.

These are a few of my major disappointments with pvp, which now I will be quitting and quitting GW2 as a game. PVP was the only thing left for me to do since i’ve exhausted PVE. Don’t even have that any more.

You were going to be something great GW2 i’m sorry you ended up the way you did. At least I saved a bit of money on not having to buy into a sub though, that’s one plus about the game.

MaXi.3642:

and description dont say anything about number of conditions/boons… and when i tried it, it never swaped all c/b, need to specify it if it’s intended

I was under the assumption that it was all conditions?

Joke post?
Of course there are overpowered classes. It needs fixing.

I used to play an Engineer in PVP. Then I rerolled to a mesmer. Oh how so much better it is as a class. I can actually do stuff now with out feeling like a complete kitten class. Try it, honestly =)

The Engineer is currently terrible as a class. I stopped playing mine. Sure they can do a bit of everything but doesn’t do it well. Other classes can do stuff better.
