Guild Wars 2

I’ll try not to swear, but my word the engine for this game is unbelievably bad for WvWvW.
In no other game have I had the issue that enemy players pop up right next to you when you’re busy fighting someone else. There’s nothing you can do against it either, all of a sudden 10 enemy players stand right next to and you’re dead within a second.

Why isn’t this fixed yet?

And before you ask get a better computer these are my specs:
8gb ram
intel i5 2500k
amd radeon 6850

Thank you for putting words in my mouth.

Once you’ve grinded all those tokens and you got your gear the only thing left for you is to ask “What am I doing with my life?”
It’s not fun to grind a dungeon 10+ times just to get one item. If you want 8 items (gear & weapons) You’ll have to grind it up to 90~100 times. Not my idea of fun, especially if it’s the only endgame in terms of pve.

It has a cast timer. You’re better of not using it underwater.
As in, you can’t do anything but move (Can’t even dodge) for one second to stun the enemy for one second. Great pay-off.

It’s still annoying. promote someone else to party leader then so the rest of the group can at least finish the dungeon.
Thanks Anet for making the dungeon experience even worse.

All 3 are bad. Thieves guild against bosses that don’t summon adds & in the overworld and dagger storm everywhere else.
The venom isn’t even good enough to be a regular skill.

This is my biggest annoyance with dungeons.
You have someone who’s annoyed/raging all over the place and all of a sudden he leaves and you see the loading screen of the outdoor zone.
You should not be kicked from a dungeon just because someone decided to leave!

Yes, but only for a little while. After that it depends on what answer you gave a certain npc and it disregards which order you’ve joined completely other than one dialogue option.

I think that’s what he’s trying to say, as in, If he becomes a member of say, the priory, on his second toon, can the first toon now then buy items from the priory even though it is a vigil member?

Thank you, that is my question.

How Not To Die When Utilizing Steal

Step 1: Target foe, hit F1
Step 2: Dodge backwards
Step 3: Examine shiny new toy
Step 4: Realize you’ve stolen an item that requires you to be in melee range
Step 5: Cry

Fixed.

The most annoying however is Stealing from Bosses.

Love it when the Net comes up or Mace. practically useless, or in case of net 100% useless in that encounter.

You should never steal something that wont effect what you stole it from.

And then you’re not even mentioning that at some bosses it’s instant death if you stand in melee range for just a second, making steal a suicide button.
It shouldn’t shadowstep you towards the mob if you have a ranged weapon attached (throw a claw to steal?).

I can apply those debuffs myself with other skills, which makes the steal items unimaginative and boring to boot in my book. And the “10 seconds of all buffs” is the glob.
Other classes get something at their F1 which they can’t do with other abilities, why don’t we?

Every level80 exotic piece should have the same stats, the rest is just for looks.
I’d go for power/precision/condition damage (power being the highest stat), no idea which sigils to get.

And you can’t buy from the vendors on your first toon? As in your account has joined 2 orders so every character can acquire the gear?
Shame if you can’t get the other gear as the vigil armor is quite bad for anything other than warriors and guardians.

I’ve only seen 4 good stolen items (hairs for stealth, glob for buffs, mud for confusion and axe for crazy damage). It doesn’t exactly help that the stolen items can all be acquired somewhere in the world as an environmental weapon so our F1 skill doesn’t define our character where it does define the character on every other class, because every other class has access to the abilities we get on our F1.
Also the shadowstep is horrible if you’re using a shortbow or pistols.

Steal only becomes good if you spent traits on it, which is mindboggling.

My little Asuran dude seems to have a tremendous fear of heights. I only have to jump off of a fence and he starts to scream as if it is his last moments. Why does he have to suffer so much.

Hello everyone,

The 3 factions have different armor skins so obviously you can only get one of the three for your character. But seeing the banners of the order(s) you’ve joined on the character select screen confuses me a bit.

If, for example, your first character joined the vigil and your second joined the priory can you then get the priory armor on the character you’ve joined the vigil with?

And the dungeons are all about destiny’s edge!

I’ve found that PvE is more about survivability than damage, therefore I’m running with shortbow & S/P. S/P for the blind and shadowstep.

Shortbow also has amazing AoE and sometimes it even beats other weapons at single target if you’re stacking bleeds with cluster bomb.

After choosing your order your race doesn’t matter and after doing claw island even your order doesn’t matter. Well, apart from one or two cameos.

25% movement speed signet and shadowstep.
No one can catch you in pvp.

(No idea where else to put it)

So what’s everyone’s opinion about the story mode and missions? To me it feels rushed and without anything to show for itself.
It is cool that you have branching paths but I think it’s also the story’s downfall.

- Characters are being introduced and disappear 2 missions later.
What happened to my krewe, almorra, crusader slep and more? I’m awfully confused about what keeps happening to all these characters.

- The story feels rushed.
2 missions into joining the vigil I was already a warmaster and a few missions after that we were already retaking claw island. The story “chapters” are happening so fast that it lacks a lot of substance. It would be nice if the choices you made during the story mode actually mattered for a few missions and not just the one after that. (Where are the grawl that I recruited for the vigil? And what about the charr warband?)
Instead of expanding on those characters we get an awful side-story about some asuran demolition’s expert who we only knew for 3 missions, but apparently my character cares a lot about him while the player knew nothing about him. :/

- The voice acting is dreadful
Just listen to Trahearne command the pact. There’s no urgency or power in his voice and he definitely doesn’t sound assertive at all. He sounds as if he’s asking his secretary for a coffee. Was his voice actor too busy trying to maintain a british accent that he couldn’t do anything else with his voice?

- The cutscenes
Yep, 2 people talking to each other is so much better than the cutscenes we had in guild wars 1 where events could actually happen during the cutscenes and where we had groups of people talking instead of just 2 people on the screen. It feels like we stepped back to the 90s in the cutscene department (Scratch that, even pokemon did it better).

What happened to the cool stories we had in every guild wars 1 expansion (Maybe not so much Eotn)? Why did arenanet take 20 steps backwards? At least the combat is great in the missions because the story is definitely not living up to its expectations.

Nearly everything in this zone is bugged, be it the hearts or dynamic events just being in the zone makes me unhappy since it’s almost undo-able.

Every single dynamic event where you need to guard NPCs is bugged and the heart where you need to follow around dogs while they sniff out separatists is the worst offender in this bug filled zone.
Dogs bark at the air, they bark at trees / grass you can’t click on, you can’t release them from their kennels, they don’t return to their kennels and there are no separatists in the caves underneath.

Fix this hideous zone please!
