Guild Wars 2

I don’t see race, only class.

One-hand Spear with range of 1200.

I think spears fit better lore wise and function wise as a one-hand weapon, or else it would be very similar to the LB. It also shouldn’t have any burst skills like Scepter #2 because it would be too powerful compared to scepters.

I would be happy with any combination of the 5 skills you listed, but I think mechanically skill #1 would be too complicated to code. It should just be a ranged attack, period.

In sum, spear for on-land combat should be introduced.

Spear main-hand anyone? Preferably as a ranged weapon. Scepter is okay, but LB stinks imo. I don’t know why some classes are unable to use spear outside of water.

Skill 1- general strike, or even a ranged strike, no CD
Skill 2- Sweep attack. Something like GS 2, or Warrior GS F1, short CD
Skill 3- Symbol, or range symbol. Something like GS 4 or scepter 2, long CD

Where do ascended Vipers and Sinister rings and accessories come from? I can’t find them in game.

The medium armor classes are all pretty lame compared to soldier and scholar classes in this game.

I mean, if you want hundreds of thousands of people disagreeing with you, sure. :P

Everyone gets an opinion. I have like 6k hours or so on my 3 medium armor classes. They’re my 3 most played classes by far, and account for like 95% of my PvP games combined.

Fair enough. My opinion. =)

The medium armor classes are all pretty lame compared to soldier and scholar classes in this game. That said, don’t worry about raiding or WvW. Play the class you enjoy the most. You will end up making several characters for play different parts of the game.

EDIT: IMO they are pretty lame. I used to play Ranger and Dervish in the original game, but I rarely play medium classes now.

The warrior is pretty easy to play. You mostly just use GS 2 and kill everything and feel like a kitten doing it.

The guardian has very low health, so you have to play smarter. And the damage output often isn’t as high as warriors. But you provide some support to your group.

Both are very effective in PvE and WvW. I use both classes, and both are common in high end fractals. Guardian is probably more common.

I don’t have a lot of experience with Revenant, but I don’t often see them in high level fractals.

Make all three and share gear between them. Ascended stuff is account bound.

Hai there~
Not sure if you’ve gotten this yet but I actually have two Mesmers parked at both the chest and the goggles that I do frequent ports with. I’d be more than happy to help you free of charge, feel free to add me and hit me up next time I’m in game (I’m on at least once a day so shouldn’t be to hard to find me ^^").

Hi there!! I will message you the next time I log in, and I will gladly donate to your cause. I always do. <3 <3 <3

I want to finish this achievement, but I can’t make it to the end of this puzzle. It occurs to me that some of you folks like doing that JP. You call it fun, I call it masochism. So, I will pay 10 gold for somebody (mesmer) to help me get to the goggles AND complete the dive. Five gold to get me to the goggles, and 5 gold if I survive the dive and get the achievement. That is, if we make it to the goggles and for some reason I mess up the dive, you get 5 gold, and I’ll pay another 5 to get back to the goggles. I have a couple hundred gold, and you could potentially walk away with all of it. I am committed. So PM me here or in game if you are interested. I also have a mesmer so in case you fall or die I can get you back up and we can continue. Thanks. =)

I am prepping for raids. I have a Juggernaut, so I am definitely using a hammer build. What is the most useful secondary weapon set? Scepter/Focus? Sword/Torch? Great Sword? I ask because I don’t want to waste materials making ascended gear I will not use.

It’s been pointed out. The castle has been around since GW1. I hope A-Net addresses this mystery in the near future.

1. Keep dungeons as is, but scale reward to the effort (in estimated minutes) it takes to complete the dungeon path. It doesn’t even have to be gold or item drops. That would mess up the game economy. Just give us more tokens we can trade to vendors.

2. Add new, harder paths with greater rewards to all dungeons. The dungeons have already been created, so add new mechanics, bosses, mobs, and challenges to new paths. It’s a relatively easy fix (compared to making completely new dungeons/fractals) that will make players happy for a short while. In the meantime, keep making new dungeons and new paths.

People don’t like dungeons because it became repetitive to complete the same dungeon cycles over and over again. And we skip the paths that are too long. Make those paths worthwhile, and we will do them. Let’s face it, the problem isn’t that we don’t like killing mobs and bosses. That’s the whole freaking game. We just don’t like killing the same mobs and bosses in the same places.

Eventually, if there are enough dungeon paths (say 5 or more per dungeon) with adjusted reward for our efforts the problem is more or less fixed.

I am still looking for a dungeon/raid/fractal focused guild that plays late NA/Pacific time. I suppose I should mention I have all ascended/legendary gear on one character, and several lvl 80s with ascended/exotic equipment. 10.5k AP.

Or if you are another player looking for a guild like me, contact me and we can start a new guild until we find an active guild to join. Cheers.

Returning player looking for active guild. I don’t care if it’s a large or small guild as long as the ppl are friendly, helpful, and actually play together. I am mostly interested in running fractals, dungeons, and whatever raids are (I’ve been gone for almost 2 years). I’m also interested in mapping/completing Heart of Maguuma regions. I usually play between 8-11 PM Pacific and weekends. Cheers.

I made this post weeks ago when rune changes were first announced. Guardians got screwed. So did ele’s and ranger’s who relied on boon duration. But guardians especially.

They made these changes to implement build diversity, but I think they may have the opposite effect across professions, and especially for guardians.

That said, I am happy with a most of the changes made, except with regards to boon duration. They dropped the ball.

StinVec.3621:

The only musical instrument I would actually buy is a cowbell.
We need more cowbell in this game.

I need more cowbells.

Where can I find this instrument mute slider? And why didn’t I know about it?! That should have been a public notice announcement on the forums!! o.O

No.
Edit: Heck no!

I’m very confused. So a lot of you guys have been farming dailies instead of actually enjoying the game? I get my dailies done just like the next guy, but I rarely go out of my way to finish ones that don’t seem fun to me. Some of you guys are weird.

=P

No.

blakdoxa.7520:

An actual boon duration rune set would be the answer here.

Then players would have to make a decisive choice on whether to take a full boon duration set over another set or mix and match set.

I agree. Fingers crossed!

Nobody has brought this up, but with the new patch, it seems that boon duration will get nerfed. Every guardian knows that for max boon duration, you have 2 runes of monk, water, and traveler. Unless rune of water or traveler gets a lot of boon duration buff, a lot of guardians are getting nerfed.

While this does not matter a lot in PvE since it’s all about DPS, there are only a few good WvW builds for guardians, and a lot of them use this rune combinations.

I’m not too happy with the patch right now….

Guild Wars 2: Maguuma Wastes Expansion.

While it was fun, I don’t want more living stories. Gimme more stuff. New maps, dungeons, PvE maps, vistas, hearts, PoIs, meta events, WvW maps, GvG, character models, skills, weapons, armors, all for $59.99 + tax.

Kay, Thanks!

CC Danicia.1394:

Please don’t delete them!

You can hold on to your extra blade shards, as the team will be adding something later which will allow you to convert the shards to something of value. Dev will be announcing more on that later. Thanks!

Do you have any idea how many of them I’ve deleted? Stacks, on stacks, on stacks of them. D=<

Straegen.2938:

Ooph… where will this thread go next? More FA congrats, comments about FA tanking to get into silver league, the obvious imbalance in Silver League… hmmm.

It really bothers me when people say that because I truly think this is what you believe. FA did not tank. We got roflstomped for 3 months straight against T1 servers. This caused one of our largest and most active NA guild to go to JQ, and our largest and only SEA force to go to some other server. SBI and probably Yaks Bend would have crushed us it we did not get a few transfers right before league to replace those guys.

For clarification, those guys were not bandwagon in my opinion. FA went from being ranked 5th to being ranked 8th or 9th within 3 weeks. We were in a downward spiral at that point.

When we were up in T1 we felt the same way the rest of silver does now. Our groups of 15-20 could not play because we constantly kept getting crushed by 30-40. Therefore, while we sympathize with the rest of silver, we are not sorry for kicking your butts. You only dealt with FA for 7 weeks, while we faced T1 for almost 3 months, and have been getting our butts kicked in T2 by a much larger TC, KN or DB force since February.

And no, Silver league was not all fun and games. We so many achievement hunters/bandwagon PvEers come to WvW that our Q’s were very long, and some of our main WvW guilds almost transferred because of it.

Regardless, FA is now fine and dandy. I think I speak for everybody in FA when I thank all of the silver league for the great fights.

Cheers.

RAM is an awesome guild to run with.

As an FA native and resident, I have to give my vote to TC. They are stable, and from what I have seen, they have a great community. Even if they frustrate us FA’ers with their meta, we secretly have grown to accept you.

In addition to that, Maguuma. Best forum warriors, and they always come out and play.

I also respect those from Dragonbrand that stuck around after the end of the bandwagon. You guys always bring the fights.

I’ve pugged with these guys a handful of times, and they are legit. Great attitude, and fun group- diving into giant zergs left and right. A great addition to FA. If it’s red, it’s dead.

Great guild. Keep doing what you do guys!

GG anet. We can all tell you put a lot of thought into making this. In all seriousness, while I appreciate the game, every patch has a major bug like this that should not have happened.

BTW Revive orbs work great here!

Live Map to be added

Good luck to all. PvF!

FA forum warriors represent all of FA. We hire them and pay them to post the views of the entire FA community, who always share the same views. Nobody in FA is classy. Everybody should judge FA by our forum warriors.

Other than that, good fights Yaks Bend. Good luck in the next match up.

Ranger zerg …

this can’t possibly be a real thing. Plz tell me this is not actually a thing.
there’s trolling … and then there’s just plain wasting server slots

It happened. But we couldn’t get CD to come out of their garrison. At one point, a group of CD jumped off their wall, and we immobilized them and barraged the group to death. It was pretty amazing. Best part of all, half the Rangers were uplevels.

I don’t blame CD for not fighting though. We probably looked a lot more intimidating than we actually were. The pets doubled our numbers.

Ranger zerg is the new meta yo.

There is an FA Ranger zerg running around in CD bl. Come get your bags CD and YB

We have been looking for fights for a while now.

Reiko.1560:

I like how this talk of FA belonging in T1 comes out after leagues started.

Nobody has ever said.

Here is what people need to realize:

FA witnessed the rise of Kaining. We got beat up by KN for a long time. We withstood it long enough to see their fall.

FA witnessed the rise of Dragonbrand. We got beat up by DB for a while. We withstood it long enough to see their fall.

After DB, we were left going up against Tarnished Coast, who was clearly more stacked than us in all time zones. We got beat up by TC for what seemed like forever.

Than random match-ups came around. We got some easy match-ups, but most of the time we were facing TC, so we kept getting beaten up by them without having a third server to push those dirty role players.

We then gained enough points to pass DB and go to 5th place. We then faced T1 servers and TC. We got roflstomped for a least 2 months straight.

So why the frack would players that have gone through all of that, want to tank to get into the Silver league? Sure, some PvEer, PvXers, and a small minority of WvWers wanted to go to Silver, but FA WvWers did not. Our WvWers are competitive as heck, and we have been beaten up before. We have been tested and we stay strong.

Now consider this. The guilds that were in FA 2 weeks ago when SBI and Maguuma beat up FA were the same guilds that were there to face KN, DB, TC, JQ, SoR, and BG. Starting 3 weeks ago, we had some guilds leave FA. One of our most important NA guilds, and our most important SEA/Euro guild. So last time SBI and Maguuma faced FA, they faced the guilds that had stayed. We had fewer players, and we were quite honestly fatigued. Maybe we weren’t strong enough to compete that week.

And now, FA got some transfers. We went down three rank spots in a matter of two weeks. We were starting a downward spiral, and our transfers really gave us a pick me up. But you can’t really call it a bandwagon in the sense of DB and KN. But hey, sure! FA is the new bandwagon. All guilds come to FA! We have every intention of going to Gold league next season and wipe the T2 and T1 baddies. But keep in mind, we will NOT give you a freaking copper coin to come to our server.

Moreover, nobody blames those two guilds for leaving FA. Especially DPS, which had a very hard task being the primary force during their timezone (we miss you guys <3).

Recently my PvE guild started doing WvW. All the sudden they are running around with 25+. When I ask why, is because of achievement points. When I ask if they will stick around in a few weeks when we get our butts kicked, the vast majority said ‘no’, and that they are only in WvW for achievements. Meanwhile, I am waiting in a Queue, in the silver league, and the real WvW guilds that have putting work since launch can’t get their groups in WvW either. So yes, I say get rid of achievements and let us WvWers enjoy one of the few aspects of the game we like.

caljay.8720:

I’m not mad at all, I’m just wondering whats so good about emote spamming after killing one person

Dude, do you really want to know what was taking placing? o.O

P.S. You were getting Tea Bagged.

caljay.8720:

Stay classy FA, nice to see this is how you react when you kill one person

Looks like you ran into Poo Poo Time [PPT].

If that’s your attitude, then don’t come to WvW.

Chris.3290:

Maguuma, we need you guys to get into Gold League. SBI forums are filled with people threatening to quit or sit out the season, and already their score is dropping fast. They would have fallen apart already except that SoR is focusing on us since we aren’t throwing in the towel already.
Please don’t let all those poor people’s transfers to SBI be in vain!

For real? One week of being dominated and SBI forums are full of QQing? FA was getting stomped for 2 months straight. Heck, even longer by DB, KN, and TC. Tell SBI to suck it up. Welcome to the big league boys.

Charrs originally come from Thundera. A small band of Thunderians were asleep in a capsule traveling the universe when their ship crashed in Tyria. Those Thunderians woke up, made babies, and became known as Charr.

PvF!

I have to say, I am impressed with SBI’s numbers. Yes, they got several guilds but that is what happens. This game has been out for a year, and I can’t believe people still complain about it. W/e.

Anywho, for TC and Tier 1 to get an idea of what you will be facing, SBI NA, or at least what we faced last night, are 2 or 3 guild groups, playing off each other and flanking for each other. It is not a mindless zerg like you see in T1 and T2 EBG, but it certainly covers my screen red. Nonetheless, the guilds play of each other very well and individually, none of them are push overs.

So have fun guys. And stay classy forum warriors.

RET is a very good and stable guild of FA. See you guys out in the borders.

Chris.3290:

Another moth into Tier 1’s flame.

What did I tell you? He knew where he wanted to go before he even made this post.

Also, congratulations JQ, you just got one of the best commanders in all of Guild Wars 2. See you around Novus, and internet friends that are in [RQ].
