Guild Wars 2

no.

I’m actually quite surprised. The forums are a very small minority of the community, but lots of difficult people here have come to complain- and there are plenty more in-game unhappy about the Toughness, Rewards, and kitten-RNG and/or Skill Punishing instability mechanics.

So- knowing that this many people are unhappy, and no response? That’s not really great for their playerbase.

phys.7689:

it really is amazing they straight up selected no dodge and boon on crit, for 20 levels. it actually seems like anet fractal change plan was to mechanically make berserk gear inferior.
Which is fairly stupid in fractals. No single gear set should be punished when gear is a long term goal, especially in fractals where infusions increase gear investment.

that aside
10 levels with the same instabilities, its totally lame.

Especially when those instabilities reward terrible gameplay/skill level, and good RNG.

Yes. Can confirm an Aetherized Longbow dropped for someone I run with.

TheFantasticGman.9451:

Quickfoot Katana.8642:

Pre-patch: Used to FOTM 50 daily.

Post-patch: 0.

That’s where I am at now.

No fractals and no dungeons. No point anymore to either. I already told my guild don’t ask me to run until they fix the HP sponges and the rewards. After that I will consider it.

Sigh. I ran through 1-76 really fast, and have since quit. Any one of my friends I ask to fractal, refuse to do so after the toughness patch.

The CoF farm hardly classifies as “doing dungeons” =P

It’s farming in the dungeon. The original intent was to disuade people from the dungeons. The complete opposite has happened. The point remains.

People don’t farm in CoF because they want to complete the dungeon, they do it because they can run in circles and hit infinitely re-spawning mobs.

WOW, You don’t say? -_-

Er I know……It’s irrelevant they are getting NO loot, they are inside a 3 year old dungeon farming the content for xp when they should be playing the shiny new expansion. I don’t know what part of this you cannot seem to grasp?

Why are you even arguing? lol

Why are you trying to tell people how to spend their time? You’re in no place to say people should be spending X time inside Y area.

Your first post was the “irony” on dungeon nerf, and the dungeon nerf- is irrelevant. Dungeons were nerfed due to economic reasons, and CoF has 0 effect on the economy.

I feel like your original post was to argue as to why dungeons shouldn’t have been nerfed(Which I agree) however, your post made absolutely 0 argument, and made you look dumb so now you’re back tracking onto how “people shouldn’t spend time there”

Seriously? Did you actually read what I said? Firstly, I never said a thing about where people should be spending their time. ANET did. I personally couldn’t give a TOSS where people spend their time. If they want to spend hours farming the same mobs over and over in Cof, then good luck, because it’s absolutely mind numbing. I couldn’t do it.

We have a brand new expansion, anet wanted to disuade people from playign old stuff like dungeons and play their shiny new add on. Result is people farming old stuff for masteries. It’s pretty black n white.

When you actually understand the very simple and straightforward point that was made, then we can talk about who is “dumb”.

Another irony lol.

lol.

Except, you’re point doesn’t really remain at all- because CoF Mastery gives 0 loot, or gold. whereas a full dungeon run could yield upwards to 60g+ daily.

Fractals are more boring and slow than CoF Mastery Farming, gimme a break.

CoF Mastery Farm doesn’t effect the economy.

Seems like we’re forced into Shiro/Mallyx(Pretty useless for 99% of underwater fights).

Jalis has no abilities. You have to abuse Glint outside of water before jumping in, to get the aura’s.

And who uses Ventari, lmfao.

If I have to sit through another 20 minute Mai Trin fight at 100, I swear to kitten m8.

Why the hell can you pop herald utilities outside of water, go in water- and have them work, but not be able to use them/change them underwater? Doesn’t seem very smart or well-done design wise.

Terrible Rewards. (I’m max mastery)
Terrible Boss scaling.
Who the kitten designed fractal 64?

Yeah Anet, you sure showed them meta folk- Lets just add kittened mistlock + boss combinations, and let people whack a boss for 10 minutes with minimal mechanics because- you can just equip anything non-zerker now and not be punished for missing dodge ques.

Trahearne dies.

Did you guys at Anet have 0 kittening people play-test this?

1. - The whole Massive AoE, horribly designed.
2. - Absurd amount of bugs for something that drives thousands of players(living story). It’s a single person instance- so not stress-tested, or just not play-tested at all?

Dear Anet – Please fix this kittening bug, thanks babe.

achievement points matter. ^^

This is the 3rd troll post abour D/D eles today.

Anet needs to nerf them just to get the forum under control.

Hey I was the first one to post though ok, like gd. 4 threads came after i posted.

http://i.imgur.com/DWEJmee.jpg

d/d ele is under-powered, A RANGER GOT MORE POINTS THAN ME?

buff please

this is a freaking outrage Anet and I won’t have it. I will quit if D/D ele’s poor performance isn’t addressed.

I completely agree. If you’re struggling on a thief, necro, ranger, or engineer. It truly is just a learn to play issue. Like, we need to be more constructive when giving props to the D/D ele’s who que up for Spvp.

Those 4 ele teams that won ESL? Are god-like players. The other teams with 1-2? Terrible. That’s why they lost, boys. (:

can you guys not make fun of d/d eles, they are in a bad place right now god.

like… do you know how fun it is playing against, and as one? thats how bad they are.

are balanced. im srs guys stop making fun of d/d eles please. Anet deeply cares about the state of PvP.

please keep the discussion on topic and critical about how balanced they are ty.

im basic i guess

Deleted my post because after a restart it worked.

SE p1 barriers is still an issue, but I guess they just waited from release until now… to fix it

Can’t skip the barriers any more, rip.

Also, P3 burrows(AC) don’t die from ice bow any more as full zerk ascended, pretty lame. Just made this part more annoying, not really difficult. (yes i know this is intended with the power nerfs, but really- just annoying. not a difficulty changer.)

abomally.2694:

Three possibilities here:

1) Defective graphics card

2) Defective power supply

3) Defective motherboard

Can you cite something for this then? Because it -only- happens on guild wars 2, and is the same for the 100+ people that have the same problem on google. Guild wars 2 isn’t some ultimate graphics card destroying of a machine game.

Card isn’t overheating. Still happens at 30 fps. It’s running at 65 celsius, which is pretty normal, and even low- for a high load.

As for the whole 70 celsius being unhealthy business- completely untrue for AMD cards, especially a 7970.

Even from XFX support: “If 72c is your max temperature under load then you are completely fine. These cards tend to run at 75-78 on full loads, and its even operatable up to 82~ without most issues.”

So a high end card and a non-trash CPU should be forced to play on locked 30 FPS? That doesn’t seem quite good.

Either way, running repair now. I switch Vsync on/off whenever it happens. I truly don’t notice a change in it, besides making the artifacting periodically stop until it happ;ens again, so I’ll definitely just leave it on I suppose.

Hi! I’ve been playing guild wars for a few months. From day 1 it had some issues when I was on quite high settings where the game would have weird graphics glitches, etc. I turned down the settings quite a lot (From said recommended settings based on my systems components)

Here are my PC’s Specs:

8GB Kingston X RAM
i5 4430 3.00GHz
AMD Radeon 7970 GFX Double Dissipation

I googled the issue of “Guild wars artifacting” and found people who are linking(Many by the way) a ton of graphics issues tied with AMD cards, which I hope isn’t the case because the glitches occur so often- its beginning to make the game unplayable for me.
I don’t -believe- it’s a graphics card issue, although my graphics card is prone to artifacting since its a 7970(still a great card) it only happens in gw2, and even on mediocre settings and running at a very low temp for such a high GPU/CPU load(65-72(max))

These screenshots aren’t even mine, yet they are the exact same thing I get(Other people with the same issue)

http://i.imgur.com/wmjlH.jpg

This is an accurate video on what happens, which is also ANOTHER person having said issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rKL_lSZhNY

I’ve tried SEVERAL different drivers, I’ve tried overclocking my card as well, nothing seems to change and the problems occur a day/hours after I make the changes.

If it’s an optimization issue, unfortunately I don’t have another $450 to chip out for a different brand graphics card, and I would probably have to quit the game.

It makes the game literally, unplayable for me. And I’ve already contacted the company who makes the card to see if i can possibly get an RMA or something of the sort.

Shouldn’t have to rely on a bug to que outside of lobby imo. =p

J envy.5270:

And its funny when you lose to a premade, their heads gets big and says L2P not even thinking that they beat SoloQ’ers its kinda funny but sad at the same time. You’d get called a noob for losing but they ddnt add the fact that they are on coms and are on a team fighting random pugs. Yeah i really hope it gets fixed.

Not everyone does this. Pretty kittenumption on -every- person who runs teams in Spvp.

Fuzzion.2504:

Currently, TC has the largest population followed by BG then JQ.

I’d agree for NA.

Meanwhile, 2:30am, 7pm for australia- we have 20 people in EBG. 3 are uplevels.

TC’s OCX is horrid.

“I love clicking on trying to join one group that keeps moving up and down a thousand times twice, and being locked out of LFG till exit game/10 mins”

- Nobody who existed, ever.

TC does not normally win fights vs 2x numbers. The game just isn’t designed in that way. I can’t say you’ll lose, but if a zerg of 60 pushes into your 30, you kill 5, they keep pushing (You -will- be forced to move back and regroup vs double your numbers) they can simply just plow over to their recently dead bodies and res them without a threat of being wiped due to the AOE cap. And if you back off to regroup/choose to find another fight, that is probably you losing/forfeiting.

Equal footing is pretty much even for all T1 servers. Just some pugs are better, in general I’d consider JQ > TC = BG for pugs(open-field fighting wise), and TC = BG > JQ(Excluding TW) for guilds(fights wise).

TC is not some super amazing best of all server, it’s a t1 server, with good players, and bad ones- just like BG, JQ, or any other server. The only difference is coverage.

Roaming:

20% Warrior
15% Guardian
15% Ele
15% Necro
20% Thieves
5% Mesmer
5% Engineer
5% Ranger

Zerg:

25% Warrior
25% Guardian
25% Necro
10% Ele
10% Ranger (JQ bumps this up compared to other pick team classes)
5% Other

Every server has good, bad, and horrible players. TC is no different in that than JQ, or SoR, DH, etc.

Charged cores are about 1.2g, i have over 100 crystals, and I have enough wine to convert the last 76 i’ll do (turning that into 38 lodestones)

I’ve been making 70g~ a day farming CS/SW, I guess I’m just bored. I’ll probably wait till this $100 comes in on tuesday.

I’m only missing T6 mats, 180 Ectos, and the 38 lodestones.

Hey guys. I’m sort of a new player (Check post history) I’m the type who … basically never sits idle in a city. I’m either running my daily AC dungeons Path 1-3, or doing WvW/Farming in SW. I have under 50~ days.

This is how close I am:

http://i.imgur.com/k4eC2K1.jpg

Basically missing t6 mats + lodestones, bought dawn outright for 970g~

I, am sick… and tired- of farming SW. Since it came out, I have spent 40~ hours running around, tagging events, grinding chests, defending the bases, I am so-so-so sick and tired of farming that area.

By the looks of it, im about 490g~ off from my Legendary. I have $100 coming in on tuesday that will probably be going to 8,000 gems anyways, but I’d rather… have it set in stone that I can have a reliable farm for after I’m out of gold.

Is there anything else worthwhile besides running around SW/CS and bashing my face into that content?

Hoaxintelligence.4628:

There are over 100 titles in gw2. At least 17titles you can achieve in WvW only.

And there is 260+ in WoW.

I don’t get it, was that your “argument” as to why they shouldn’t be added? not that I completely agree with the OP, this post just doesn’t really contribute anything.

Could be interesting. Would promote playtime around the board, but discourage people to transfer to lower tier servers that are already dead to help out.

Perhaps if you transfer to a higher tier server, you lose more “reputation?”

In WoW, if you left a guild- you would retain their rep as long as you didn’t join another, if you joined another you’d lose a level of rep, that’d be an interesting mechanic, I personally don’t think there is an insane amount of titles in the game anyways.

Okay. Sounds cool. I had received a few guild offers from TC in pms already, considering there or JQ the next time I get money.

Is Yak’s bend on T2 always in first place, or is there at least a little competition?

@T1 – 20 person ques dont seem horrible- same question though, can JQ/SoS even possibly win vs BG, or is there a decent amount of competitive play?

@Community- the GoM community of wvw did try to get involved in things but sorta just resulted in arguments on what guilds doing what wrong, and I don’t really consider anyone here my “friend” besides my girlfriend whom lives nearby anyways, so peace? =p

Hello, I’m on Gates of Madness where at most (On weekends from 10am-11est~, or Weekdays 3EST-11:30EST) we only have maybe 30-40 on the map tops. (EB, Or any borderlands period. Sometimes 20-25)

Was looking to transfer to a more… active WvW server? I don’t enjoy roaming much, so blob fights are not an issue. However, I wouldn’t enjoy a -long- queue to play.

I don’t think a $3500 tournament is the reason why an expansion hasn’t came out yet.

So the rotation I put actually doesn’t have to be edited in any way? That’s good.

Is it needed to get a dagger/scepter of some sort to stack might for exp dungeons/low fractals?

May be redundant since there is guides up there (I’ve read them I promise)

Hey! I’m sort of a new player here. Some experience in Mmo’s such as being top 10 as of last tuesday, 6.0 sort of made me quit(World of Warcraft)- any who, I bought the game last week and have leveled a guardian + elementalist to 80, i have a bit more fun on the ele, so i decided to play them. I have full zerker gear(exotic)/ascended zerker necklace with an offensive slot, and was just curious on what my role in dungeons should be?

I’m playing staff/fire camp:

6/6/0/0/2 build for staff conjure on metabattle, however im using FGS in place of elementals, and movement signet in place of mist form.

Can’t afford strength/scholar runes so I’m using centaur(only about 18g in funds, i dont think I should dump it all into exotic gear i -may- replace?) while also using frailty + force signet.

I have trouble stacking might. Most boss fights I am able to start in earth, I use Earth #2 swap to fire, 2, 3, ARW, 2 again, ARB, then spam fireballs till rotations are up again?

Just curious on what the optimal might stacking would be for -only- having a staff available

Citri.9540:

Those are amazing 10/10 would use

They look pretty awesome.
