Guild Wars 2

I feel that the only way to fix the minions is to do a complete overhaul. Many necromancers, especially those from gw1 as is my case were expecting something completely different from the current necromancer. I have some simple suggestions that could improve a lot the state of the necromancer minions.

1.

Scrap all minions and create 3 types of minions. A Tank, a Ranged and Utility preferably with nice skins, not some kind of rat and devourer. Port the gw1 ones or just give us something that has at least the height of our char (the tank at least) and make it menacing, dreadful and horrid !

Tank – The barrier between the mobs and the necro that allows the necro to control the fight and spam the conditions.

Ranged – Helps the tank minions to kill the mobs

Utility – Over all helps both minions and the necro with abilities like wells or passive like signets.

Flesh Golem – This guy here needs to be a huge carcass, a beast, a behemoth that towers double or triple of our height, he’s the guy that pummels everything to dust.

• Allow us to use corpse exploitation from gw1 and allow us to maintain our army of undead minions. Instead of having an ‘active’ like explode let us just keep pressing the ability to summon more pets and let explode and whatnot become a trait. Whenever a minion dies it explodes. simple!

• Let them regen out of combat

• Give us 3 simple pet sub-abilities like ’ Aggressive ’ – ’ Defensive ’ – ’ Neutral ’

- Agressive just aggros everything and focus the same target as the necro
- Defensive only attacks when something attacks the necro
- Neutral doesn’t do anything but follow the necro closeby.

You made me laugh so much today !

Go ahead, try the elementalist in WvW ahahah, if you think guardians are squishy you’ll love elementalists !! Anyway I don’t know what you’re complaining about you have a guardian, I’ve been able to escape from groups of 5-10 alone with my virtues, ring of warding, retreat, save yourselves, etc..etc… staff # 3 and #5… and I’m sure they were crying ’ WHY WON’T YOU DIE !!’ Sure we could have an easy escape like teleport anywhere we want but hey you can’t have everything.

Everyone loves us and everyone hates especially thiefs since they can’t one-shot us. Oh did I mention Thiefs ? You’ll love them as well as an ele ;3

This is my WvWvW Build actually, plenty of close gaps plus the knockdown on the power signet is better than the immobilize on the condition signet so you can teleport with judge’s intervention, use signet, hammer #2 #3 #5 #4 , switch to sword close gap blind, fire away everything else. Since the CD on the signet of judgement is so low and gives you retaliation, you basically have a condition removal tool every 16 seconds with the signet condition removal trait.

Runes just take condition dmg vitality precision something like that.

Well I got all my T6 materials from Heavy Mold Bags back when they would sell for 20 copper or something like that… I Bought stacks and stacks of it. What I didn’t open I saved for later and it paid off since now each sack sells for 1 silver (crazy right ?)

So either buy the bags or idk :x

Awesome, thank you for the links.

@shuguard meh that sucks I was hoping there was some way to farm silver doubloons >.> I only have one atm and that one was a guildy that gave me.

well yes, I figured that much… Let’s hope anet does something about this.

Hello,

I’m working towards the Vial of Quicksilver recipe and at the moment there’s only 190 silver doubloons on tp and 60% of those are sold at ridiculous prices like 1g, and since silver doubloons drop at an horrendous rate could anet rework this recipe to take 250 silver idk filligrees or 250 silver bands something like that please?

If not, does anyone know how to farm silver doubloons ?

I think you’ll be disappointed by the state of this game now. Sorry we al do.

1 – You have to decide for yourself
2 – There isn’t a dps class according to anet, but you can do either thief or elementalist
3 – There is no healthy server, it all depends which server is winning at WvWvW
4 – There isn’t such

P.S – You’ve come to this game with the wrong mindset.

dalendria.3762:

I am done with MMOs after 7 years. This was the first one that I completely enjoyed and felt was fun.

I am going to spend some time playing with guildmates but I already know where this is heading for me. My frustration over this has been growing everyday so I know I will quit soon. Sadly, I have been feeling the same way I did before I quit WOW and SWTOR. I would have quit in the past few days but I love playing with my guildmates.

In the meantime, I have returned to playing Assassin’s Creed 3 and started a 3rd playthrough of Skyrim. I did not even log on GW2 today despite planning to do dungeon runs with the guild.

I also am thinking about buying the new Xcom. I have so many games right now that I have not even touched that I have enough for at least a year.

Until recently, GW2 had pulled me away from not only other games but even going to movies (my 2nd favorite form of entertainment).

^

The only thing holding me in gw2 is my guild and guildies. Everything else is pointless, I feel cheated.

Minecraft\Dota 2

I feel cheated, I’ve forged countless hammers, played since the betas only to see my newbie guildy get the colossus. I can’t stomach it anymore.

Please Anet, consider the following.

Don’t add slots that can be infused, instead allow players to buy infusion with tokens earned from the dungeon, said infusion works like omnombars… a boon that lasts for 1 hour or something like that. Everyone would like this please, don’t do what you’re about to do, please..

As for ascended items, I would urge you to reconsider as well. If you’re planning on adding ascended armour or weapons please don’t, you’ll just be saying ‘your time spent on gw2 to acquire that exotic is now worth less than mud, please acquire this new shiny carrot’.

Don’t…please for the love of the gods

Anet, please don’t do this please…

It took me a lot of time to get my Karma armour and dye it Abyss and get runes on it plus my jewellery, I’m very fond of my armour don’t make me grind again for another set in a couple of weeks\months down the road, the legendary grind itself is destroying your game and yet you add another layer of grind please…. for all that is good don’t do it, People will leave you game be certain of it.

ANET PLEASE, your WORD is your BOND, break it and you’ll never get it back.

Actually the team behind aion is an entirely different one than the one behind gw2, that said, I don’t like the lodestone idea as well but as you can see, ‘endgame’ is farming and grinding.

:$ I use /sit on their faces because usually they are spying instead of respawning. In jumping puzzles however I usually /kneel to show ‘enemies’ I won’t hurt them since we’re all just trying to get those badges. It rarely works however, even when I make it clear I don’t want to fight…

I would love this :< !! Lodestones are so expensive, even if each one were 100-200 tokens it would be awesome, this would also help some of the dungeons which have few players playing it, like sorrow’s embrace.

@Far Shiverpekeans

I think you are underestimating Desolation a lot ! RUIN is like 20-30% of our army, what about the other guilds ? IRON, CLAW, zzZ, GP, Evil Squad, etc..etc.. ? You’re just mad that you’re losing, and if you keep that attitude instead of working hard to beat Deso you’re going to lose again in the next rotation !

I was there in the EH Borderlands building ballista after ballista with some other peeps (Deso Engineers Army corp.), I was there building trebuchets in EB fingers to stop your push and I was there, Sniping every siege weaponry in FSP keep while your trebs were happy aiming for Deso Players, so no! Don’t blame RUIN, blame yourselves for not being competent and organized. The truth is, yes RUIN helped Desolation but much of that help was in terms of organization which we definitely lacked since only a handful of Deso commanders were competent at the time. I’m european, I play on GMT+ 00:00.

What you see from Desolation is not RUIN nightcapping, is Europeans which pride themselves from being Deso fighting from the time they get home to the wee hours of night because they are dedicated and want to get deso to its rightful place among other servers equally as good.

I’m from desolation, I’ve been from desolation since the betas and all I see here is butthurt whining from the other servers, but far shiverpeaks in particular.

You’re just angry because you use to be the dominate server after vizunah square, you didn’t complain when you were dominating Desolation with foreign guilds and exploits like bugging keep lords, something desolation never did.

You didn’t complain when you had night capping as well, the only reason you got into T1 was your night capping, since at prime time Desolation would even things and even win. Desolation was always a very dominant server in WvW since the beta until we were matched against vizunah. Desolation has a lot of players that pride themselves for being Deso…

You’re just crying horribly because you’re not what you use to be, don’t blame desolation for it, we didn’t cause you to fall down a bracket did we ? Now… now is our time, we don’t want shiverpeaks… we want vizunah… vizunah is our target, we want payback and we want to lead desolation to the top again ! Everyone agrees even if we stay 2nd we just want to beat vizunah.

Agreed, but then again Anet wants you to have fun ‘their’ way.

More nerfs to the guardian. Thank you Anet You really don’t want us to play it.
How about instead of nerfing the guardian you give him a real ranged wep? if things keep the way they are anet, you’re going to lose a lot of people.

I’m also torn about this.

yes – It’s a breath of fresh air, it’s free to play and the community is awesome. Graphics aren’t too shabby as well, cities are beautiful, dungeons take skill and are fun etc…

and

No – DE don’t shape the world as advertized instead they respawn in x minutes, Constant Bugs, Features that should have been implemented in the first place aren’t, no incentive to roll alts other than farm more ori and wvwvw badges, most low level areas are empty, you need to grind\farm and anet said it wouldn’t be a game of farm or grind, DR on what we’re supposed to farm, I don’t feel rewarded at all for my spent time, other than farming orr and dungeons or playing the market there’s no way of making gold due to insane WP fees, TP taxes and low level loot. Magic Find is the worst thing of them all… should be removed in my opinion.

According to Anet’s philosophy there shouldn’t be any farm\grind at all so I imagine things are not going according to anet’s plans.

The problem is that you can’t make a profit anymore, people keep undercutting the person that undercut the person undercutting in the first place. So… you place an item for set amount of cash and on the next day you find your sell order behind 500 others which keep piling up due to more undercutting. I’ve seen this trend with a myriad of things like dyes which use to be 5-6 silver and now sell for 3 silver and T6 mats which used to sell for 1-2 silver or more and now sell for 50 copper (the materials price drop can be attributed to bots imo)

@ Recently, and we all know how FF11 ended up right ?

I have everything needed to craft my legendary except the precursor, I do not want Anet to change its recipe I just want a fair shot at getting the precursor, anyway legendaries and market speculation will be the downfall of anet if they don’t address it properly. If precursors were awarded after this super crazy high level dungeon which needed a lot of skill from everyone involved to complete it would be ok, or award one precursor account bound per character that completed 100% world, 100% all dungeons.

• OR and this is just an idea, a month long chain event that would culminate in the award of the precursor of your choice, this chain cannot be zerged and requires players to hand in things found all over the world (even low level areas) the amount of effort you put in determines if you get it or not. This would revitalize low level areas and people would be more willing to explore the world that you’ve created and level their low level alts. Just an idea. This would also mean more replayability, some sort of end-game and the love of your costumers.

I reported your post on the ground of ’ Trying to influence the market ’ should have added also ’ scamming ’ since it’s what you’re actually wanting to do.

3/10 try harder next time, thank you. I hope Anet releases Halloween black lion chests so all you speculators lose your money trying to resell everything.

Is the hammer going to be buffed ?

Because I read somewhere ‘anet was going to show some love’ but I don’t know if it was buffed already or not with the ice critical trait, I’m just a bit confused. Hammer Guardian is best guardian >:c I wouldn’t mind seeing some more traits for the hammer

I know this is never going to happen but this is what I dream when I think about hammer skills on the guardian.

Nº1 skill – Replace the symbol with symbol of judgement 3:
Nº2 skill – Awesome
Nº3 skill – Ethereal teleport to your enemy with some crazy ghostly voice shout of anger and a blue trail similar to the necro walk green trail (or enemies) blinding and burning, I imagine the guardian doing a face like the ‘Save yourselves’ skill
Nº4 Skill – Would be awesome if it was like in a cone in front of the guardian instead of a single target.
Nº5 Skill – Merge ring of warding with purging flames :$

*Anyway this would be so OP but I keep imagining it.

I’m just so frustrated… everything is so kitten bugged and on top of that you just lied to sell your game !

1. 1 Lie – ‘Waypoints will have a small fee’ – 3 silver to get to the nearest city is not small

1. 2 Lie – ‘DE will shape the world, sometimes the chain will go on for months’ – Lies, DE reset every 15 minute kitten not only that you still haven’t found a way to let the cathedrals and dungeons to stay unbugged, oh and there’s 3 dragons that respawn every 3 hours to do the same thing and then you kill them and they return after 3 hours.

1. 3 Lie – ‘You Swing a sword, you swing a sword again, HEY you swing a sword again’ well actually you got this right… this is exactly what we do all the time.

1. 4 Lie – ’ This game will appeal to both hardcore and casual ’ – sure place DR so we can’t farm what we’re supposed to farm.

1. 5 Lie – ’ There will be no grind ’ – Yeah and then you place insane prices on stuff like armour and weapons and you expect someone to play casually to get it, well they might get it after 2 months sure this is if they don’t get hit by the DR

• Then you design this beautiful world full of stuff but you don’t make an effort to get players to play there, racial cities are ghost towns. Most DE are just plain boring and people just do them for the karma not for pleasure of doing them, there’s no variety or depth to them.

• Players waste hours and hours and feel like they aren’t rewarded for their effort.

• Everything is so bugged !

So I ask you Anet, I love your game I want to play it but what do you do all day long ? Who’s making all these kitten decisions ? Why don’t you better the game or why did you lied to us in the first time ?

here’s some simple suggestions !

- Waypoints are free for people that have 100% world completion
- Remove the tax from TP why it is there is beyond my comprehension
- Better loot means Happier players, if you want to get rid of bots at the expense of regular player’s fun then you’re doing it wrong
- Ladder\Matchmaking in sPvP
- Recipes for Percursors, even is it’s something insane people will be content that it has a recipe instead of a RNG mess.
- Chain the DE better so that the chain lasts for at least 2-3 days, instead of multiple meaningless DE that no one gives crap do Huge DE that are fun and interesting and actually shape the world.
- Get Guild halls and GvG out asap < this is crucial
- Stop punishing players for everything

What the hell were the devs drinking when they designed that dungeon ?! Are level 35 even supposed to beat that dungeon in explorable ? Are you guys high ?! What the hell is wrong with you ? I mean Citadel of Flame or even Arah is a cakewalk compared to that.

What’s Arenanet official stance on this ? I don’t want to complaint, well I’m struggling not to complaint but it seems a bit unfair that a guild is allowed to camp all day long a jumping puzzle ‘griefing’ other players that spend a lot of time trying to figure out the puzzle. Couldn’t the jumping puzzle be instanced for the different servers ?

@Undertow

Sure he can burst one Warrior\Guardian but he’s useless for the next 40 or so seconds and can be one shot as well since he has no survivability at all.

Grace, I think you should find yourself a better guild if they ‘boot’ people for not helping.

Hello ! I’m a an avid WvWvW player and sometimes I want to help my server by upgrading keeps and such but there are days where I’m short on cash and I’m kind of useless since I can’t buy siege, I can’t upgrade anything and the few coins of silver I have are meant for armour repair so I wonder why…

There isn’t a way for every player to donate whatever amount of money they want\can at the time and that money gets banked until a threshold is met and the upgrade starts. This way players are not ‘bound’ to wealthier players for those T3 keep upgrades : < ! And wealthier players don’t need to spend huge amounts of cash as well but can be major contributors.

• The only problem with this however is that a keep\fort\supply camp might be taken before such threshold is met and both the upgrade and banked money are lost.

Cheers,
A helping WvWvW player.

Just to say how hilarious this is, just yesterday I went leroy jenkins on a team of 10 (I kitten you not) players holding a trebuchet near stargroove on the cliff and I just used 5# and Puff all gone.

Now imagine that happening on the walls, you get on the wall #5 shield half the enemies would be thrown inside the keep and half to your army, not to mention other skills like #5 Hammer and #5 Staff all the while making wall of reflection and bubbles to hold on in the wall all the while your eles are melting the ones focusing you.

I think everyone wants the longbow which might be a Full burning weapon or a long range support wep.

I beg to differ, I run a Burning Teleport Guardian and I have every single trait possible devoted to burning conditions and +% damage to burning enemies and I just melt players left and right with it. + Sigils and Runes that add more burn.

I’m also 10/30/30 on Power, Precision Toughness

http://www.gw2build.com/builds/simulator.php#1.3.11.3.0.17.0.0.0.0.54.74.69.62.77.9.9.47.152.0.0.167.170.176.181.186.192.0.0.0.0.0.0.10.30.30.0.0

And my Armour is Lvl 80 42k Karma Whispering. The sigil is burning, you could also switch the torch for the shield and get the +90 toughness trait if you feel like pushing burning corpses from cliffs and hills which also works with the trait 5% toughness is given to precision.

cheers.

Well I’m a Guardian lvl 80 with 2 exotic pieces of armour and working towards my exotic weapon (hammer)

I run a Staff\Hammer or Staff\Sword-Torch as for utilities I keep changing them between fights to whatever my team needs. I’m at 10/30/30 in power precision and toughness, the vitality and power I get comes from my armour and weapons. Generally I support my team by teleporting and using #3 hammer to catch fleeing targets, I use all the staff abilities when we’re pushing a gate since it heals, removes conditions grants might and a wall to keep enemies inside their keep or interrupting on the walls and well as granting swiftness.

When I’m in the mood for dps I take sword-torch teleport to nearest zerg cluster set everyone on fire then use the ultimate to become invunerable and by then they are so wtf?! that my team has gotten to them and killed them all.

I think anet won’t grant the longbow to the guardian simply because reworking and balancing a new weapon for the guardian would be a pain in the kitten. That and anet would be swarmed by every other class to add a new weapon as well since everyone thinks their profession is UP

Anet, erm… could you please >-< implement some kind of vertical slots in our inventory in which to place our weapons ? I have 4-5 weapons and I would like to see weapons separated from normal inventory. I think it’s a nice easy to do feature and would save a lot of trouble. I sold my favourite sword god knows how many times….

Simple. Don’t give players a choice…

You queue for WvWvW, not for a particular map of WvWvW. Meaning that you get sent to where you are most needed. And for those crying ’ But I want to do jump puzzles and map completion’ tough luck pal, WvWvW isn’t for you then, give your spot to someone who wants to play.

Parties go together to the same map ofc. But solo queuers go to whichever map needs players the most to balance the number of players. There.

The 3rd tier trait ’ Perfect Inscriptions’ does not do anything, at least from what I can perceive. Does not update the tooltip and none of the signets seem to do anything ‘extra’

1. 1 Elementalists\ Rangers \ Mesmers Range.

- This is just insane, their meteor shower and arrow rain range is just too much, you can’t stand on the walls to defend, you can’t even repair your gate. You can’t even reach them because by the time you reach them you are dead with all that burst damage. Mesmers are able to get illusions attacking people inside the fort, not on the walls, not on the towers but inside the fort’s plaza… I won’t discuss Mesmers hot drops because it’s a tactic just a tactic that can’t be countered I guess.

1. 2 Melee is pointless

- Same reason as the above mentioned, your armor means 0 ! Your toughness or vitality means nothing because they do not block magic damage just direct damage and your vitality means squat due to conditions… You can’t do anything without resorting to a range weapon, the only time I use my melee weapon is to catch the stragglers that stay behind. There’s no way to endure the damage and at least cause some havoc and disorientation in the enemy line for your team to do something. And even if they do manage to get to the enemy they are just going to be stun locked until dead..

• Guardians in specific which were mentioned as the kings of protection, protect nothing at all since their protection skills like the shield ones have such pitiful durations that are worsened by long cooldowns and they have no real ranged weapon.

• Warriors have to resort to their rifles and Bows as well.

1. 3 Trebuchets have insane range, Arrow Carts have short Cooldowns

This is taken from personal experience. Do you know that right side keep in Bordelands, do you know the closest fort to your spawn? Guess what… I built a trebuchet on the 2nd highest tower of that keep and was able to hammer that fort, their walls, even reached their gate from the inside.

1. 4 Armor Repair Costs

It’s my strongest belief that armour repair in wvwvw should be free of charge. Face it, who wants to play wvwvw especially when if you’re the losing server you are constantly killed and in the end you just think that wvwvw is a money sink.

1. 5 Siege weaponry\ upgrades cost money

The reason almost no one buy siege weaponry is because it costs money ! if you would change gold for karma, people would be more willing to buy siege weaponry and upgrade keeps\forts\supply camps. This would also mean that you don’t have to be rich to help your server.

I think that’s all. opens the flame retardant umbrella

• Sea of Purity (Elite)

Engulf the surrounding area in a sea of flames. Remove Conditions from allies and grant Might, Burn your foes and cause Vulnerability.

Duration: 6 Seconds

I don’t know about new utility skills, I just wish they give the longbow to the guardian and extend Bubble times.

Just to say, I’m from desolation and the orr maps all have at least 1 skill point bugged and atm the event at cathedral of lyssa has one of the seals bugged which obviously means that until they fix it there’s no way of winning the event. Also the Balthazar one is also bugged. I seriously find this to be appalling. I can’t complete maps, I can’t get the karma armor I want, it’s just a bug fest. Meanwhile on the american servers I hear they fix everything at nightime while us at europe get the short end of the stick like usual.

If I was Anet I would rather concern myself with adding a longbow to the guardians arsenal so that the guardian has some form of ranged.

I kill everything. I’m running a Sword\Torch Teleport Burning Condition.

I wish we had a longbow :< heal people from afar, raining healing arrows… Purifying shot. Cripple your enemis removes boons etc…
