Guild Wars 2

Same with me. I took damage while under effects of gravewater and my ooze. I even managed to get the sunken treasure achievement but no achievement for The Juggernaut III. This is the very last thing i need to complete juggernaut and it wont work for me

Hey everyone! I used to play this game a lot. Took a break, but now i’m back. I have been playing consistently for a few weeks now and there is something I cant help but notice hasn’t changed. When I que up for some reason whenever I leave HotM the que breaks! Now I know this issue was absolutely littered all over the forums when I left the game over 6 months ago! So i’m having a hard time believing it has not been addressed. I am almost completely dumbfounded at this point. 8^)

The worse part is, when I do que up it takes 30 min – 1 hour for the que to pop sometimes! And i’m not even legend yet! One of my best friends in this game, Sunfish, actually waited 2 hours for a que just so it could abandon itself! 8^)

I am aware that matchmaking can take some time, and I appreciate all the hard work and thought you guys are putting into the matchmaking system (combining mmr AND tiers is genius! cant think of anyway this could be exploited! ), but at least give us something to do while we wait. I mean the combined problem of long ques and being trapped in the HotM is really really not fun. My best friend Sunfish and many of my other friends agree with me! Please consider this post serious enough to do something about! 8^)

Rampage from war is ridiculous

Burn pressure from ele is ridiculous

Confounding Suggestions (5 sec cd) + Instant Daze from mesmer is just absolutely ridiculous

I don’t think the classes themselves are over powered, but just these mechanics specifically make them over the top

Engi Bugs:

Grenadier: nades pierce when this trait equipped. Also equipping this trait outside of pvp causes your grenade barrage to go on longer CD.

Toss Elixir B: tool tip says 3 stacks of stab but the ability gives you 5 stacks

Automated Medical Response: trait says recharges all healing skills, yet with healing turret equipped and on full cd it only recharges the “Healing Turret” part and not the “Cleansing Burst”

Alchemical Tinctures: Tool tip on Elixir X doesn’t say anything about condis but when used with this trait, it clears a condi.

Elixir F: (not so much as a bug as just kittened af) elixir f densest count as an elixir, change the name or change it to an elixir cuz this bothers me way too much

Aimed Assisted Rocket: This trait is supposed to have 33% chance to proc whenever you hit but it procs on things like “Magnet” which shouldn’t count because it doesn’t even put you in combat when used.

Transmute: I thought that it was announced that condis—>boons was unified among all classes/abilities. This trait densest follow the uniformed conversions. For example burn is supposed to become aegis, but with transmute burn becomes regen.

thats all i can think of now but these are just bugs iv noticed playing threw random builds and testing things. Not even trying to search for bugs there just obvious and anoying. This many this long after patch is ridiculous and embarasing.

Im sure its just as bad with other classes. Just do something plz anet. Or at least give us some notification that you will fix these before 6 months past

Archaon.9524:

quite funny cause in last esl pretty much everyone had a double ele team…no double engi (Let alone double mesmer lol)

actually a team ran 3 mesmers and did pretty well.

I would agree with most of these, but also have to say there are a lot more builds with the potential to be meta. D/D ele still has its place over D/F in some situations, MM necro is broken, cele might stacking engi is ridiculously strong atm, some gaurds’ burns specs are also ridiculous right now, and i would also say staff ele now has a potential spot in the meta if things continue as they are.
Im sure there are a few other specs iv forgotten but these are the ones i can list right now that aeroxe didn’t mention

i think physiks is smart person, i agree with him yea +1

Good read Slin, thanks buddy

See you in game

I dont give a flying FVCK if que time are long. what i kittening care about is the fact i cant do kittenign kitten while im waiting. its kittening pathetic and kittening unacceptable. kittening change this you lazy peices of kitten a-net listen to the kittening community

Looking forward to playing, sounds like fun!

I have tested this.

If you knock someone out of refuge they do NOT get reveal de-buff IF they are in downstate, and maintain stealth.

Pretty sure this is not intended because it makes no sense, haha.

Should be fixed, fixing this “bug” can lead to some awesome plays in game!

I think paw made some really good points and I strongly agree with a lot of them. There are certain builds you cannot tell a good player from a bad player (turret engi, power ranger) other than positioning and general game knowledge.

And he brings up something very important in my opinion. only a few of us actually participate in tournaments where the player skill is high enough where these builds are not optimal. The fact of the matter is that these builds are extremely optimal for the majority of the player base, which are in solo/team ques.

I do think that balance should be for high tier play, which in my opinion is pretty balanced (just looking at the comps of different high tier teams and how diverse they are). But i also think that balance should be at least a little focused on casual play. maybe make builds like turret engies, where there is little risk for high reward in unorganized play (solo q) less viable.

I do know players who have quit pvp and tried to come back to it, only to end up quitting again due to so many annoying “no-skill” builds like turret engies being so popular.

On the other hand you do have to consider nerfing turret engies might effect the pvp population negatively because there are so many people who play this build only. But imo for the over all health of the game (especially with old player coming back to try the game again with he expansion) it will be better to get rid of some of these builds that frustrate players to the point of quitting

I agree. I’ve thrown away literally thousands of geodes? and other random materials i have no idea what to do with. and i have often found myself too lazy to open a full inventory of boxes just because its all basically trash. idk just feel like if we have reward tracks they should be rewarding?

just my opinion is that the game is too hard/complicated to watch/play for low or medium tier players (majority of players)

Reikou.7068:

Half the streams of GW2 PvP are of players playing other games…

Is that really the impression you want to give about GW2?

Seriously, I also know a few streamers that completely stopped streaming all together because 10+ min with nothing but afk in the mists. Pls at least let us join custom arenas or something. Personally I am queing a lot less because we cannot do anything while waiting. I agree with the OP, idm long que times, but i do mind being stuck to do nothing while waiting also bump also #SaveTheGolems

que worth que times when we stuck in mists? #SaveTheGolems

lol wtf

This really kittenes me off. This change is dumb. Cuz i mean theifs and mesmers are obviously dominating all roles of pvp, oh wait thats cele engi/ele/war. I dont understand this change. But thats just my opinion but what do i know? All these guys that are saying “oh yea good change, had to happen” obviously know so much about pvp lets listen to them. kitteng angry as kitten right now

yes yes yes yes oh gawd please give me more yessssss oh baby

but no srsly do this

kitten kitten kittenen kittenin kitten kitten fix this

i agree with this, so hard, like so hard

I strongly dislike waiting in HOTM while im qued up and not have the option to duel my buddies for practice. Especially with the longer que times. I’ve had full groups of 5 multiple times now agree to stop queing and do something else because it is just not worth it anymore

Yes!
Please for the love of god do not make me afk doing nothing for 10 min at a time, this is ridiculous.

Let me duel or hotjoin or SOMETHING.

Some times i literally WAIT LONGER THAN I PLAY

LET ME DO SOMETHING PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GAWD LISTEN TO THE OP

Mechanically, one of the best mesmers in game. Super competitive and committed

Chapell.1346:

Cynda Quil.3520:

Your job as a theif is to spike down target

And this, refrain your self for being a Rambo.

. . .err, what?

Fun guy, good player, takes feedback well, good pickup for any team!

This is an interesting question. I have recently started trying to learn thief, so I am no expert. I have used both builds about equally by now. I find that both have their different benefits.

Panic Strike is really great when it works out but has a lot of rng built in build. Improvision is so strong when it works but it is not reliable at all. Also when bursting I found that backstab dmge is rng. does not crit nearly as much as i would want it to, and does bad damage when it does not crit. The 2 in SA helps out A LOT for surviving and lets this build be a little forgiving. The imob is great when it lands especially in team fights.

As for Crit Strikes, the burst is A LOT higher imo. Your backstabs crit reliably now, and do more dmge when they crit. When coordinating bursts with mesmer, you can “one shot” more targets because of more reliable backstabs. I think the sustain dmge is also higher, unless your forced to play defensively. Even though you loose out on a lot of condi removal from SA, you also have a lot in normal theif build. Hide in Shadows removes the hard hitting DOT condies (burns, bleeds, posion). And shadow step can be used to cleanse if necessary.

If you choose crit strikes you loose some condi clense, free stealth at 25% hp (really valuable imo), random recharges, and the imob ofcrs.
If you choose deadly arts you loose reliable spike dmge, “one shot” potential with cordinated mesmer burst.

It seems like you loose more if you run crit strikes, but imo crit strikes is the way to go if you play theif in tpvp. Yes, you do gain a lot of survivability from panic strike build but it is not your job to survive as a theif. Your job as a theif is to spike down targets, and crit strikes does this better. You have to consider the imob as well, i think in some situations it is completely useless but in others it determines which side wins the encounter. If you could control when it proc’d i would like this better. Panic Strike build is more forgiving but Crit Strikes does the job better.
(keep in mind i have limited hours on thief)

Am looking forward to hearing other opinions on this subject

great player, fun guy and would be a great pickup for anyone

Marvin best mutli classer NA, coolest/chillest dood NA, best gold fish walker NA

Great guy, great player, always a positive member to any team

wow, such greatness, many skills, such organization, many talents, wow

I so sad. <3 comeback sooooon

veeeeeeee wwwweeeeeeeeeeee! sad day but you the bestest, gl on ur adventures frand.

you will be missed!!!!!!!

Engi/Ele Pick your posion.

-keep in mind i have limited hours on the other classes

It’s because of a few factors

turret engi. Turret engi reguardless of players skill level, preforms at a certain degree. If the player is bad they will be decent with turret engi. if they player is great, they will be decent with turret engi. This is why you see so many turret engies in solo q and not high level team que.

Fun. Engi is most fun class imo. I mained ele and got from r1-80 in pvp all with ele. Decided to roll different class cuz i was bored with ele. Tried out nearly all of them. Engi was most fun by far. Now i play engi bc it is what i enjoy even though i have about 5x more hours on ele.

nade/toolkit/elixergun/elixer s Engi. Either condi or cele rifle this is an extremely viable build in pvp atm. So this is used quite often in high tiers of pvp. But does require a fair amount of practice and knowledge to be good at.

And as regards to what some people in the comments are qq-ing about. Turret engi is bad, l2play. They’re only a handful engies in NA right now that i can think of that can actually play the trip kit builds well and effective in high level pvp. It takes more than “faceroll” to be good at this. especially compared to some of the other builds played in Meta right now

i agree completely, imo anet was lazy when they did this nerf, the nerfed the weapon set (which did not need to be nerfed) but ignored the real problem. They just made an entire weapon set unplayable for pvp and a lot of theives ik are quiting the game bc of it. This sucks, plox fix
p.s. i hate s/d theives before patch but i did not want them to be removed from the game, this is bad decision

OH GAWD PLEASE DO THISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

leaderboards are kinda cool, im consistently in top 100 and i get to see top 50 every now and then, and all i do is play a few games a day.

Although its “easy” to get on the leaderboard its also very easy to drop too. I had a 5 game loosing streak and went from top 100 to around 500-700 area.

I kinda like the fact that it can change easy with a few games. makes kitteny players keep playing hard and gives hope to new players

NevirSayDie.6235:

Don’t protect home point. I know, I know—protecting home point is good. But you are too important to your team to miss any teamfights. That’s right. You have to be in everything.

Ele is a good carry profession. You have mobility, teamfighting, and solo artist capability. Carry the teamfight at mid, race to close point to hold it 1v2 because two of your teammates just lost a 2v1 there, decap far because your team wiped and there was nothing you could do. Intercept a straggler and kill him off point. Win another teamfight, etc, etc.

Be everywhere and do everything.

Thats exactly how i play my d/d ele and I am in top 100 solo q most of time. Play hard and smart
