Guild Wars 2

When I tell the client to “save my network” it will not accept any 2 factor code I put in (correct one) but if I DONT select the save my network it works.

I’d really like to go back to not having to enter a 2 factor code everytime I login.

Give me a hammerBOW (crossbow that shoots hammers) and I’ll be impressed.

Since I can’t edit the above…

I’m having issues getting into Edge of The Mists… been trying for about an hour now. IT’ll spin and spin and then error out with ..

https://www.evernote.com/shard/s288/sh/1a9ac68b-c441-460c-90bb-f93030378232/5dbf4e197960f3dd/res/e33bfaf2-0178-44d9-b9a0-bf1ad3724458/ScreenClip.png?resizeSmall&width=832&alpha=

Then I try again… some times I’m back at the original zone I was in trying to get in, sometimes it just starts the spinning again.

Tman is correct, that’s the exact problem.

Bummer they haven’t got a option for it yet. It’s really frustrating. I was hoping in my absence that they had come up with a fix ;(

So many times I’ll get knocked down then pop up and fire off an ability because of the ability queue. Is it possible to disable it? I looked in the options and didn’t see anything ;(

Please tell me I missed it and it was added at some point and just can’t find it.

Only way I can know someone is around is just tabbing like mad and looking for the red arrow ;(

Only started happening after the recent patch.

Wow, it is bad enough that the thieves cannot just stealth for an extended period you now want to be able to gut the short stealth they have now.

You know what I do? AOE them, if they run away, job done.

What exactly is iBerserker? How’s it work?

Illusionary Berserker, actually phantasmal berserker, is a skill on mesmer that creates a phantasm, and doesn’t require LOS for some reason.

More on it here:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Phantasmal_Berserker

This thing gets one hit (and does less than nade barrage) and then anyone with a brain will 1 shot the thing. I am not sure how this is supposed to be some be all end all thing. Sure you can maybe kill someone that just zipped into the keep and is almost dead and do it w/o LOS but 1) that is situational and 2) it will be nerfed, bet your bottom dollar.

Mesmer is great in sPvP but if you want single target burst damage in RvR play something else.

As a mesmer that also has a 80 engineer as well… you will find your Mesmer does a lot less in clashes (killing folks) but you will have utilities that will be useful. Unfortunately that also means you get a lot less bags (specially if your engineer is a nades spec).

Mesmer has some situational abilities but your engineer will be far more effective in keep defense/taking. I enjoy my Mesmer but the effectiveness is just way less than Engineer.

SoR teaming up with NSP? First I have heard of it.

Luka.6831:

Few things …

1) Mesmer is a PvP class, like in Gw1
2) Therefore PvP balance is their top priority (and then hopefully traits)
3) Mesmer will become better in PvE with expansions and new content (skills etc.)

Really? Then why do they still lack any real use in RvR. Ports and utilities? Wow, what fun (oh and no rewards for it).

Incase anyone missed it.

Mesmer

Signet of Domination can no longer be cast on targets behind the mesmer.
Added a much faster breakout for mesmer underwater mantras.
Phantasmal Warlock: Increased recharge to 20 seconds.
Chaos Armor: Decreased recharge to 35 seconds.
Chaos Storm: Increased recharge to 35 seconds.
Phantasmal Duelist: Increased recharge to 20 seconds.
Phantasmal Swordsman: Increased recharge to 18 seconds.

Deepnoizer.3879:

Third guild just today that I see that transferred to SoR. I can’t say I’m happy to see them and good luck gaining any respect at all …

I truely do not understand this. Why transfer? Next week we might be loosing badly.

It is not like you lose/gain a lot… do these guilds consist of 3-4 people and have no status built up? I mean you lose more from transferring a guild than you could possibly gain.

Sojou.2067:

Screenshots courtesy of another player from SF none the less. Both servers know what’s happening…

I am curious what this is suppose to be a screen shot of? It looks like you fighting enemies is all. I did not see any flying people (mind you my eyesight is pretty bad) so if they are there please point them out.

I just see so much BS floating around here it seems that folks are making up excuses for the loss. SoR bucked up this time. If there is cheaters they will get banned (we will report them too) but the only side I have actively seen tping around the map with orbs has been a DH individual. If the situation was as bad as the excuses around these forums have suggested I would have seen our team doing it and I have not.

If you have a name on our side PM it to me and I will follow them around and record it.

I would like to get the names/guild of said accused hackers (pm?) so that I can look for them and monitor it myself on our side and report any exploits they might be doing. I would happily waste a couple nights taking screenshots/video captures to get proof of their activities.

Wish I had got the DH hackers name but I was not there when they killed him.

I am not sure of SF guilds moving to SoR. I see a SBI guild that moved to our server because of the 4 hour queues on their server.

As to the hacking, we definitely saw it last night. Fortunately our people were on the ball and killed the guy. He was a DF player though I was not there to see his guild or name.

So you want to basically make Mesmer’s even more useless in RvR because you cannot cope with mass PVP.

The invisible issue is not a mesmer portal issue. Stop trying to make it one.

SoR states they’ve seen DH moving about, but few from SF have. I’ll have to take SoR’s word on that.

It is funny you say that. Most of our group denotes when DH shows up as the “night crew” coming online. I do not recall seeing a large amount of DH consistently before 12-1am central lately.

Vig had about 15 last night roaming EB to keep spots as long as we could before we had to log and there was maybe one DH group before Anet forced us all out of WvW. If there were more they were not to be seen.

We ended up killing trebs from enemy towers/keeps to keep them from bashing on our walls because there was not much else to do. It seemed like 1 guy really liked to treb.

Either way, I do not think anyone would argue with you saying DH has “active” night presence compared to the other servers. If they do they are just kidding themselves. Maybe it is because we smash faces well enough during the day they want to stay in till we go to bed… or they just live in one of those far off strange lands where the sun goes when hiding from us.

So you’re playing a class that is deemed one of the 2 best classes and you’re QQ-ing it’s not balanced. Go play ele, you’ll quit the game, not just the class :P

Maybe in “arenas” but not anywhere else. Because in RvR they are not so great. I would say probably one of the LEAST effective in RvR. I ended up dropping my 80 mesmer and switching to engineer because frankly the mesmer brings only a few gimmick utilities and no punch. In almost every case you are better off with another class.

I make more gold and karma in RvR than I do badges. I can buy 3-4 pieces of karma gear or craft (buy mats) 2-3 pieces of gear in the time it takes to get 1 piece of badge gear.

Crafting is better for me anyway as I can get specific stats I want. Just seems silly that badge gear takes so much longer and has the same amount of “stats”.

SO you killed a bunch of PVErs in a PVP zone, good on ya.

i was talking in spvp chat and we decided that engis are the underpowered class

Play a Engineer in RvR and then a Mesmer and say that without laughing. Both classes are situational.

Actium.8765:

Ya..would be nice to have the orb hacks stopped. Takes most of the fun out of WvW.

Yeah, I was on when the orb we took (SoR) poofed and showed up magically at another keep with no warning or even showing on the map when moving.

Either a bug or a hack, either way needs to be fixed.

It has been a pretty close fight with this grouping.

SoR tends to lose a lot of ground after the evening play time but we sure love kicking some kitten when we are in.

Nunna.6413:

1000+ kill this week … 143 badges only discussssssss

My anecdotal data seems to indicate that I get more badges when I first come into RvR and it gets less and less as the night goes on.

Could just be bad luck (on drops for badges) but I make money faster than badges (events) in RvR and can craft gear a heck of a lot sooner than buying gear with badges.

Perhaps I am just not looking in the right places but when I check amazon’s music store or itunes I cannot find a Guildwars 2 Soundtrack.

Will it ever been for sale?

Mongo.2490:

Wow.. this thread makes me want to roll another race. Currently Asura and there’s nothing really visually pleasing about it.

Heh, for me after playing the Asura in RvR a bit I have realized how much a pain it is to look UP (keep walls for nades) and regret playing them for that reason. When I look up since I am so close to the ground the camera gets in really bad positions to view UP.

I expect someday they will add a race change option to the shop… I hope at least!

Stay out of the Sanctum of Rall Boderlands. They are hacking. Sanctum just hacked the entire map. They took all of our towers and keeps that were fully upgraded instantly.

Eh? Please tell me what time that was? Because if you say it was last night (23rd) I am going to call BS on that.

We were organized and moving to each keep/tower and taking them. There was no “hacking” involved other than the bodies we cut through.

Believe me if there was any hacking on our side we would report it ourselves. Vigilance is playing for the challenge and fun. Not to cheat.

Edit: Actually we were in Sorrows last night, my mistake. I read the post as your borderlands.

What details can you provide on the hacking? Guild name? Pics? Anything?

I appreciate the information but something is definitely hosed with the queues. I queued tonight and then 5 minutes later 2 friends did, they got in about 5 minutes later while mine did not pop. I waited… 2 other people that queued AFTER me got in. I relog and requeue and 1 other guy gets in before me and he queued AFTER I re-queued.

I left it in queue for a hour and nothing happened. 5+ guildies got in the same zone I was queued for even tho they queued AFTER I did.

I would try and give you details but seeing as the queue mechanism is game is about as vague as you can possibly make it (you are in queue, yes we promise!) I cannot say what is wrong. All I know is, I was/am bored waiting for the darn thing to pop.

It’s so tough to hit your kit twice when you want swiftness! OMG Anet!

Guy above me just mashes it instead of giving it a simple double tap and ends up in rifle when he wanted to be in grenade. IT’s your fault he can’t figure out these simple things Anet! ARggggggggggg!

Sorry I am not as “gifted” as you seem to think you are.

For what it is worth I am talking about out of combat.

So I am guessing one does not exist…

It is pretty annoying to have to keep flipping kits to keep it going…lord knows how many times I have pressed a button expecting a nade to go off and I would blast myself backwards cause I had rifle up.

It’s not that engineers wouldn’t be viable or competetive. I main one and yes, I can kill people quite easily. The problem, though, is, that you have to put so much effort into it when compared to others.

Compared to everything but a Mesmer perhaps. My main used to be a mesmer and it by far is much more “fiddly” than Engineer. I switched to Engineer because Mesmer was just not doing it for me in RvR. Credit for all the support is just not there so rewards are just not there.

The thing I like the most about engineer? I love all the kits, so many weapons to use. Fun fun!

The “winning” team should drop more badges. This would go a long way to stopping the double teaming.

More karma for orbs is a waste. There is already more than enough karma in RvR.

Edited by moderator: Quoted deleted since the original message does not exist any more

Not sure how you came to this conclusion. No one asked for the trinity. They asked to get credit for support abilities they use when they take up valuable slots on the bar and are darned useful to boot.

I have begun to rethink my choice of utility abilities because they do not net me any badges. Unfortunately I am in a bind right now and I need them. As a mesmer I have only a few options for AOE so my badge count tends to be a LOT less than those that have more options.

Right now my utility abilities generate 0 badges. Though they are quite useful. Just wish I could get some sort of credit for using them.

I have had 2 keys drop I think, maybe just one. I have some 40 boxes in the bank. Not that it really matters. Everything in the box has been what I would call junk.

I would also like to see some options to tweak the scrolling combat text.

• Different locations.
• Different colours.
• Configuration on type for each (incoming damage/outgoing/etc).

Here is the reason this should be considered a bug. Quote from the Warrior forum.

“If you can, get a target on the mesmer before they start pumping out clones – ctrl+t is the default, I believe. "

Clearly this is being used to negate part of the mesmer’s defense.

Do karma merchants exist that have exotic level 80 weapons anywhere? If so where?

I have exotic armor but not weapons and would like to do something with the large amount of Karma I have collected.

I would love to be able to see the UI bits better. Currently I have problems with boons/conditions, sometimes it’s a window in the way.

• Allow us to move all elements of the UI.

• Allow us to resize all elements of the UI.

• Allow us to change the transparency of all elements of the UI.

• Allow us to tweak the colour of all elements of the UI.

A major part of Mesmer defense is illusions. Confusing the enemy so they do not know who the real target is. However with the simple click of a UI configurable button they can call-target (mark) the Mesmer and know who he is no matter how many illusions they call forth. You can (if you have the weapon/skill) use stealth and drop the target however I think that calling forth new illusions should also remove it (or move it to the illusion).

As it stands now any person can negate part of the mesmer’s defenses by marking them. Imagine if you could negate the defenses of a guardian similarly? Or anyone for that matter.

To resolve this you could move the target marker to newly spawned illusions or simply remove the mark as happens when stealth is used.

Call-Target/Mark is a simple way to negate a major part of the mesmer’s defenses. If I could simply click a UI button that would reduce the defense of any other class it would immediately be fixed as a “BUG”.

Illusions are part of the class defense. If they can get around that and know immediately who the real mesmer is we lose that defense.

There has been tons of suggestions on how to keep the call-target but keep mesmer defenses. Spawned illusions take on the target. When spawning illusions target drops as it would if you stealthed/etc. There are several ways this can be addressed.

In RvR I have issues in keeps with weapons like staff, 1hsword, pistol/etc because they create the clones at my side. In a keep or attacking a keep this means (far as I have experienced) the clone never attacks the person. With the 2hander (and scepter and focus offhand) I can create the illusion at the person.

I also find swapping to 2hander useful when chasing down a group due to the cripple effect on the 2hsword phantasm.

Otherwise I agree with most folks. I prefer the staff but unfortunately I cannot use it all the time.
