Dont touch the combat that is the best part about this game the thing they need to touch is the balance of skills no the combat.Combat is incredibly fluid and responsive and non other mmo or rpg or mmorpg have combat as good as this 1.
Does anybody else thing this fight feels completly diferent with new aoe circles and no dome xD? First time she was here it took me around 3 hours to kill her on my engi (rabid gear 20/10/0/20/10 perma vigor back then and best build for her even now imo) and this time around i somehow did her in first try (rabid gear again but no vigor no food also with 30/30/0/0/10 because i totaly forgot to change them).
I seriously like this change with aoe circles since before i had hard time(REALLY hard) seeing them and the change made this fight more skill based and less luck based for me.
So i was wondering if anybody else was affect by these changes this much and what would you think if they implement new AoE circles in dungeons and other ares of the game(at least let us toggle them on)?
The reason is probably lyssa change nobody runes thoes runes anymore and if a mesmer has double energy/double battle and strenght runes he can go keep up 15ish stacks of might trought the fight which gives them a lot of damage boost compared to lyssa before where you didnt get any extra damage but you got condi clear which we now lack.
So this happens a lot to me when ever i play my engi or mesmer xD and i find it extremly funny.This happend in soloq and it has been happening a lot since patch and i find it extremly funny so i was wondering if it happens to other ppl to xD?
Also so everybody knows it is standard 20/20/0/0/30 shatter and condi engi for like since gw2 started :P(also he was a thief )
There is a key biding in game called “about face” that makes you turn 180 deggres when you press it and if you play warrior you probably wont have to use healing skill since you got the op signet so you got 1 free key for that if you want to i think this combo would work good for you.
So this just happend(pic) and i have no clue if the game is going on as 4 vs 5 or nobody can get in and was wondering if this happend to anybody else?
I also exited the game and reloged 3-4 times and didnt help also tried with all my charaters.
With my gruop we get it done in an hour and if we are just totaly bad in hour and 20 min (with dredge at 48)so they are not so long.Only thing they should change is the stupid dredge cart and bombs before it -.- and the jellyfish boss make it more interesting somehow.O and the ice elemental that teleports you that is put there just to waste time….
make everybody who is 40+ start at 30,everybody who is 30+ at 20,everybody who is at 20+ at 10 and rest at 1.
I dont think it is fair to put ppl who did over 800 fractals(got to lvl 80) and do daily 48 everyday as with ppl who got to lvl 30 it makes no sense.
Also can you tell us if there will be any compesation and how hard is lvl 30(comapre to to lvls like they are now)?
So i responeded to this already but i gues i somehow insulted you so mod deleted it so here we go again.
In any serius PvP game out there it doesnt take over a year for 3 ppl to get to rank 70 when max is rank 80 just so they could get rested.
And how is doing only odd lvls fotm and exploit pls explain that to me?
Well if it wasent an impressive accomplishment what was it then as far as i know most ppl dont even have 48 and like seriusly little amount of ppl got to lvl 80 so if that wasent an impressive accomplishment in this game what is it then give me an example in this game?
Also mod if you have time to delet posts can you call us a dev to give us some explanation here?
Serious PvP games have rating systems that are not based on progression levels, because progression levels are basically a count of days played, not of player skill. It’s not an apples to apples comparison, which is what I was getting at (since the post I replied to referenced resetting PvP and WvW ranks, which is something that should happen on a per season basis because PvP is not about progression, it is about competition).
The exploit is used to get around the lack of Agony Resistance. They designed the fractals to require a certain amount that was unobtainable which should have capped the progress. Instead, players found ways to avoid the AR altogether which allowed them to bypass the AR cap and reach levels that were not intended.
It’s not particularly impressive because:
1. It requires an exploit and
2. The “difficulty” is offset by gear (making it simply a day counter, nothing more) since the only change is an increase in Agony that is mitigated by more AR. Once you reach the AR cap, see point 1.
At first the cap was 80 not 50 they intreduced the 50 cap with the dc fix i thing no clue when that was so 80 isnt an exploit and rating and rank are 2 diferent things in pvp.Rating is based on your mmr which has nothing to do with rank you need rank to get better looking skins and finishers and titles and also they are reseting the mmr just for the record and just reseting rank after 1 year of biggest grind i have ever seen in any game is beep.Also if they didnt want us to do odd lvls why didnt they just hard cap them then to?
Also just becose you skiped maw(easiest fractal you could jsut go behind him before and kill tentacles) you think it makes all other fractals easier?Mobs on 70+(most of them and on 79 they all 1 shot you) 1 shot you no matter what class are you and getting pass 3 fractals like that takes no skill?
So if that isnt an an impressive accomplishment what is in this game you still didnt answered that 1.
i Asume you got legendary(i do) anet intreduces new 1 your old 1 gets deleted.
You got rank 80 in spvp they intrdunce new balance patch/game mode you are reset to 30.
They add new dungeon and reset your DM title so you ahve to do it all over again.
You got the 250k kills in wvw they reset it becose they added new map and changed some beep.
You understand where i am coming from?O and you dont get anything as compesation or at least we dont know(and i honestly got no hope for anything)
1. PvP ranks get reset for seasons in almost every serious PvP game out there.
2. Your legendary analogy isn’t correct. It would be more like if you found a way to get a legendary that wasn’t in the game yet (i.e. used exploits), then when they made it available they took it away from you and you had to earn along with everyone else.
I understand where you are coming from, but your current anger is blinding you to the benefits of this change. Your high level didn’t actually do anything for you before, wasn’t supposed to even have been possible, and really wasn’t as impressive of an accomplishment as you believe it to be. Going forward in the new system, your level will bestow appropriate rewards for completing an appropriate challenge. If you are really deserving of the high level you are “losing”, then you’ll have no problem proving it in the new era (and you’ll get better rewards and respect).
This is a good change, and I’m sure you’ll see that once you get going.

The leaderboard is not the main reason for the reset. They have completely redesigned the difficulty and AR system which is what merits the reset.
It’s like this: you worked really hard to become the best horse racing jockey around. Then they invented cars and now everyone drives indy race cars instead of horses around the race track. Your horse racing skills are now “pointless” and thus they don’t matter.
It sucks for you, but you’ve either got to get with the times and enjoy the new content or slowly fade into obscurity as that “cranky old horse guy”.

Fractal Progression Changes: The difficulty curve in fractals levels 1-30 is being adjusted, and fractals beyond level 30 will have new, special challenges.
So scaling is being changed from 1-30, 30+ is being changed completely, and you’re hung up about your fractal level? You have no clue what’s in store (nor do I) but how about you wait until we know more before you start whining about your fractal level.
you know the reson why we are so hung up about our lvl is becose we put kitten tons of effort in it and they just come and deleted wtf that is like saying we are making new legendarys so everybody who has made 1 will get it deleted it is total beep -.-
Well dont put me in leaderboards at all i dont give beep about them i just want my hard work to stay and not jsut get deleted becose some beep in anet tought it would be fun….
I dont think mesmer illusions are suposed to show up since the class icon is big enough for you to not be able to tell between real mesmer and clones(it takes like whole freacking point also you should know by enenmy team roster if they got 4 mesmer jsut saying :P edit:unless they actualy had 4 mesmer then that was clusterkitten))

Hi i am looking for frendly team for spvp since i am kinda sick of soloq so i am looking for steady team to do some teamq.
I only play mesmer,thief(not s/d)and engi.My current rank on soloq leaderboards is 360ish(366 games in soloq),my ingame rank is 31.
Depending on when i got school i play either in morning/afternoon and everyday in the evening.
Would prefer ppl with some expirence in soloq/teamq(couple of hundred games)and who dont mind using sykpe/ts3(skype preferable since i dont have ts3 server :P).
So if any players/team are intrested pm me on forums or ingame i will gladly reply
Because players are ignorant and don’t know how to counter Healing signet.
Why don’t you enlighten us then, oh master of countering unstrippable passives
The burst heal is terrible. Healing signet can only rely on the passive regen. That is the weakness of the healing signet.
It shouldn’t take more than few brain cells to brainstorm that high dps destroy the healing signet warriors.
That’s why the carry immunity spells, massive condi clean and multiple stunlocks. Each stun = 2-3k worth of healing and they bring 4+ so that you can’t dodge all of them. Assuming that you can consistently maintain enough damage to overcome the passive is ridiculous, they purposefully chose this spec because the healing more than matches most pure DPS specs.
Condi clean, immunity spells have cooldowns. Mace/shield Stunlocks have short range.
When immunity happens, you don’t use high burst damage and you don’t facetank the warrior, instead you kite the warrior.
You dodge important skills like the GS’s 4 skill. If you dodge that, the warrior will have a hard time trying to catch up to you. You do not waste dodge, you do not chain dodge, You do not faceroll, instead you watch the warrior’s attack.
After immunity is down, you spam every CC and burst down with every burst damage and auto-attack you got. You make sure you get defensive when Mace/shield is up, and get offensive when GS is up.
You need to play as a warrior in order to learn how to defeat warriors.
gs warrior is easy target for most ppl anyoing ones are lbow,hammer and mace/shield
No one can defend this current system. The quality of matches is garbage 50% of the time or more. I would say the average score in most matches is about 500-200 win or lose. It’s a joke its been allowed to go on this long solo q came out almost 2 months ago. I see no reason to believe any kind of fix is inc in the next month at a minimum. Quality of life stuff is killing spvp and A-net is glacial with those types of fixes. How hard can it be to add some kind of thing that randomizes the two rosters that are selected right before the match starts. How it works know is it will grab 5 highly ranked players and then it will grab another 5 who may or may not be anywhere near as highly rated. It needs to take those 10 players and award them as equally as possible between two teams. How can’t they see this? Even if a dev would just address this with there thoughts and what they are thinking about doing to address this would go a long way.
This i honestly dont care if i win or lose if ppl i play with in team are frendly and not jerks but when you get team match ups like this it is kinda hard to enjoy the match :/.But i at least think they should add mini rank requirement at like rank 10 so you know ppl will at least know what to do(not like this match thoes 3 followed me for like 30 seconds at the begging)until game gets bigger spvp scene or they somehow change the system.I think it would help a little for the time being.
Well just had a game in soloq and as you can see the team match up was totaly kittened and this happens a lot xD.So i am wondering if we will ever get min rank reqiremnt to join soloq or if we will the matchmaking get fixed.Since i played 177 games in soloq and still get put with ranks 1(won 90)and it is kinda annyoing :/
Edit:fifth player on their team was rank 27 if i am correct and sorry for bad spelling
To me when i get transformed to charr in fotm(from slyvari mesmer and asura engi) they feel incredibly clunky for some reason especaly on engi and i absolutly hate when that happens cant see how ppl are confortable with this race :/ (btw they can look amazing :P)
I agree with Fortus. I’m in the same situation and i agree. Don’t let down on other comments many are of the “super easy” guys who repeat 50 times or can’t make it and just come to hate around, because it’s UNBEATABLE in some classes
Umm every class has beaten it so i have no clue what you are talking about.
Edit:if they reduce hp now that is like big f you for everybody who completed it so far -.-(uneless they give another mini for thoes who completed it before nerf)
the majority of the community obviously didn’t play the original guild wars and are all bandwagoners who think the 2 in GW2 is just a dragon
Or they arleady know what happens in whit abbandon and now want some new lore that is as quoted by devs stongly attached to gw2 lore.
the guild wars 2 lore sucks though compared to guild wars 1
Well you had gw1 lore for i dont know how many years and you can still play it some ppl just want things to change not everybody is super in love whit gw1(btw i aggre that gw2 lore is bad but it doesnt mean it cant get better).
Edit:jsut to add why do ppl think they will get tons of lore from a fractal just look at the rest of them they are suposed to be short 20-30 min dungeons orientated to combat and mechanics of boss
I still dont see why ppl want expasnsions over living story you would probably get all the same content but you would get it once in like 6 months compelte it in 3 weeks and then you got 5 months of same stuff all over again :/
Living story gives us a conent to play every 2 weeks and the biggest reason ppl are complanin(IMO) is becose it comes out so soon that it doesnt have as much of an impact as an exspansion that totaly overwhelms players unlike livivng story where you get bit by bit(this is all my opinion correct me if i am totaly wrong)
And end games is totaly not focus in PvP becose tbh gw2 doesnt have the kind end game most other mmos do but i will say that the skill and class balancing is centerd araund PvP which sometimes kittens some skills in PvE.
And like it has been said milion times gw2 is mostly game for casuals (i do want some harder content :P)and in this respect livivng story is much better then expasnion becose ppl can log in ever day for like 1-2 hours and easly finish all the living story in 2 weeks which i think most ppl find great :P
Where is my challenging content? Hit a dragon toe to get terrible rewards? What dungeon besides CoF1 is worth doing(I don’t even do it at all).
Yeah, about that.
There’s plenty of challenge available if you don’t burn mobs down before your defensive resources run out. Given the game’s current PvE imbalances, the only way to challenge those at the sharp end of the meta would be to reduce player ability to burn mobs down quickly. However, this would impact players using this iteration of the meta to get the best returns the game offers.
I’m not saying kitten yourself, as that is not an acceptable solution to a lot of players. I am saying that the ability to generate massive damage (6-9K number 1 attacks, thieves reporting 40-60K spikes are just two recent examples) by boon stacking coupled with high crit chance and multiplier has eliminated much of the dungeons’ challenge. As it is, many of the dungeons are tuned to be challenging for groups with anything but the high damage setups.
They could drastically reduce diversity between classes, builds and weapons so that most group setups could generate damage numbers in the same ballpark. Then, they could change dungeon mobs (e.g., increase attack rate to wear away invulnerability faster). If they did, though, they’d probably be increasing the time it takes to complete a dungeon, and we’d still have the return-on-time issues. They’d also be reducing build options, which would likely displease most everyone.
I know this is totaly off topic but it is warriors not thiefs there is no way a thief can hit that much in this game xD (unless he steals 100b from some mob,gets25 stacks of might and fury and i am not even sure if you can steal 100b from mob xD) :P
Edit:i lied you can hit that much in dredge fractal on last boss while he is under the fire debuff but i saw a warrior hit 126k there so doesnt really count :P
So i am kinda short on money right now becose it turns out i need new Psu :/.I was first thinking of getting fx 6300 and Asus m5a97 which would leave me like 10$ but it will just fry whit my current psu -.-.
So i i was wondering if i could get 30+ fps (in pve and dungeons) whit:
1 x AMD Trinity Athlon II X4 750K 3.40GHz 4cores
1 x Zalman 500-GS PSU, 500W, ATX12V V2.3, dual rail 12V
1 x Asrock FM2 FM2A75 PRO4 – AMD A75 Hudson D3, ATX, Dual Channel (kinda leaning towards asrock here xD)
so would this cpu be able to handle 30 fps in pve and dungeons( i will probably overclock it but i have never done it before :P)
Current configuration:
cpu:pentium r dual core e5800
gpu: nivida hd 6450 ddr5 512 mb(i dont mid running game on low-medium settings for now)
ram:ddr3 1333 2*2gb(if i get athlon II X4 750K i could get better :P)
motherboard:AsRock G41M-GS3
psu:codegen 400w model 300xx (i dont know how it lasted this long honsetly….)
Edit:i have no idea why something is underlined xD
Please provide this information:

Hi ever since you implanted the new patch i have been getting frequent disconnects like every 5 to 10 minutes the game is completely unplayable for me right now because if i try to the the story/events/WvW/dungeons i get a d/c.
It only happens for a second or two and puts me in charater creation screen i log back in same thing happens again so i was wondering is there any solution/fix and does anybody else have this problem?
Error number:7:11:3:189:101
Edit:It only happens whit gw2 i have played some other MMOs to check if the same thing happens but i only get it in gw2
I aggre imo light armor looks the best and heavy has some decent looking pieces but medium just looks outright awful but still the game jsut came out we ill get a lot more armor and stuff to make you prettier in the future xD
Btw:Derek can you tell me what armor are you using :P?
