Guild Wars 2

I know just pointing out they’re there, even if they are totally over the top in price

need I say more?

Halloween event.

WvW only;

The server that has the most people active in WvW at the start of the event will be turned into Zombies, the status is checked every 2 hour.

Zombies are 80% resistant to all damage

They move at -60% speed, when more than 20 are around they gain “Zombie hord” move 40% faster and deal 20% more damage

Zombies can attack and damage keep doors, avg hit would be 300 damage per zombie.

Zombies cannot claim keeps, or use siege weapons of any kind, they cannot teleport using waypoints, they kill and turn the guards and the lord into zombies, which attack anyone who is not a zombie, turned NPC are 40% more powerful and are 30% more resistant to damage.

zombies can only play in one battle land at a time, they may change on death to a new land, but cannot play the same BL until the event has reset.

zombies must attack a player within 30 mins timer otherwise they start to decay, losing 10% health per 10 seconds,

Zombies have a unique set of skills.

Bite > heals 15% of health, deals 400 damage.
grasp > roots you and your target in place for 4 seconds.
claw > bleeds the target 8x(8 sec) 9k damage
Moan > you let out a moan and run at your target, stuns for 2 seconds
Cry of hunger > you scream, fearing all around you 4 seconds.

being killed by a zombie turns you into a zombie, you are then forced to join the hord and kill your friends and enemy server alike, once killed you must change battleland. you remain a zombie until the event has ended.

Winning and losing;

You win the event, when all zombies are cleared from all battle lands.
You lose when all human players are turned into zombies.
you lose if after 2 hours zombies remain alive

did I even say anything about dying, this whole topic is directed at the worthlessness of armor

I use lemongrass, melandru, zerker stance and cleansing ire, it helps but its no counter

stop focusing on the condition statement, what is kitten ing me off is the 7k crits when near 4000 armor, it shouldn’t happen.

If you give up all attack for defence, defence is what you should get.

So, I have 3900 armor, I have sacrificed a lot of damage to get this, but what the hell is the point, I was under the illusion that armor meant mitigation of damage?! like hell it is, it makes little to no difference; you are still hit for 7k+ conditions still kitten you no matter how many times you remove them since they can be put on faster than can be removed, then you have the confusion spamming kitten that will outright kill you almost instantly if you miss the fact that it was stacked to 16+ in 1 second.

Why bother with Armor/toughness, it seems the only viable defence is stealth, immune utilities and high damage.

atm im using axe+shield + 2h hammer, its working really well, but I still like sword more, because of the mobility and disengaging potential, also final thrust is like eviscerate but it doesn’t waste the adrenalin which you’d need for eathshatter.

Stunlock>swap >shield bash final thrust = win,.

You have sword, which gives you mobility(and immobilization removal if traited) , cripples, a burst immobilization(which you can quick swap to maintain the effect while you do something else and Final thrust which deals 3k crit or 6k+ crit if at 50%

Or you have the Axe, which deals massive maintained damage, has a long range cripple, a vulnerability attack which is 10% more damage and a burst skill which deals 8k + damage burst.

Which would you use.

I’d like the ability to move siege weapons, like arrow carts and balistia, cats and trebs but at an ultra slow pace.

that way a smaller group could build and move them into combat.

It worked in DAOC it would work here

the difference is, a credit card commander can buy his badge without every playing wvw, he then jumps into wvw giving aweful pointless orders killing everyone.

A player who has ranked high enough to earn the badge has more experience at wvw, knows a lot more than the former; he might still be a fail commander, but atleast there is a better chance of a commander who knows what he is doing.

no, getting rid of the ability to buy a commander badge should go, high ranking wvw players should be able to get the badge no one else.

DEATH TO CREDIT CARD COMMANDERS

I feel these three things would make WvW so much better for everyone, a more dynamic and team work oriented WvW.

1: Commanders get color coded text and shield, using the cloth dyes they have.
2:Commanders get a button to broadcast voice chat to all in their squad.
3:Commanders get a button to Broadcast to all active commanders in the zone.

I know some of you think we don’t need it because we have Vent/TS, but hell you can use that and the in game system, not everyone uses or can use vent/ts why not use both?

I feel a change like this would make fights so much better, since we’d all be on equal footing only set apart by the skill of our commanders.

I have been wvwing, up until now it has been fine, but of late I have been getting major issue, I will outline the issue.

When I log into wvw my warrior will either get stuck in a limbo state or stuck at the loading screen to any battleground, if I manage to get into the battleground it will run fine then suddenly I will start getting 40sec + skill delay and rubber banding.

what is really strange about this is the fact guild chat is not effected by this lag, also my thief, Mesmer, guardian and ranger do not have this issue, so I assume it is an issue with my warrior.

yeah, but it wouldn’t be a flat out 85% damage reduction, there is other much better ways to do it im sure, but its kinda silly that a player playing full bunker who deals no damage can be dropped in seconds due to silly conditions they just bypass everything, they buffed conditions too much imho

Toughness should mitigate Condition damage, it is totally silly that Condition bypass all armor, i mean, being tough should mean ability to take damage or resist damage.

Toughness as a stat should give you 1% resistance per 20 points toughness

If Anet asked for a Donation to upgrade the WvW servers to some thing alittle less prone to lag whenever anyone does anything in large numbers would you do it? if so how much?

I would prolly donate, maybe about £30 to £60

that looks like a driver issue, but it could be an overheating gcard memory chip, try downgrading drivers or updating to a beta driver, if they doesn’t work try downclocking the card 10% if the issues stops, then you need to clean your gpu

this is a driver issue, try downgrading your drivers or using beta drivers.

I have a thief, doesn’t mean I like playing it though. and there are some things you cant counter.

thief insane damage + nonstop stealth regen and chain blinding being one.

its ok, just give every other class the ability to aoe blind many people at once whenever they feel like and another skill to leap stealth into the target trying to get out the aoe so they can plant another on the floor at the targets feets.

then we can rise repeat that all day until they die

and anyone who has every played any number of mmo and witnessed this skill and doesn’t think it overpowered has been drinking too much absynth

Ahhh but this isn’t nerf stealth, its nerf blackpowder.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Black_Powder

An attack that has no cooldown, that blinds the target on attack and every second to any target within the area of its effect.

its pretty much Iwin vs any melee class, and can be just as powerful on ranged players if used well.

it has quite a low initiate cost, but can be spammed all the time while using the fotm d/p build.

that in of it self is more powerful than most other classes defence skills but still skill does even more, its a combo field that anyone with a leap can spam to stack stealth, its just totally over the top.

I don’t suggest changing it, it simply needs to cost more, atm its being used like an auto attack, the skill needs to cost a lot more, the skill needs to be a costly strategic skill, not some monkey stomping trolling skill of power

I build systems and overclock them for a living.

Please Dump that psu, get a corsair psu they are the most stable and wellperforming, they also come in all sizes, I recommend atleast 800w.

next, dump the Intel EXPI9301CTBLK 10/100/1000 Mbps PCI-Express x1 Network Adapter, you motherboard already has an onboard Lan port.

the last being, get an SSD, the SSD will have windows installed on, it doesn’t have to be larger, 128gb is large enough.

because not everyone can get into the server, not all ts servers have unlimited space, not everyone knows the ts server address.

why have a 3rd party tool people need to install when it can simply be added to the game

you have Random and you have organized groups, the latter uses teamspeak.

I ask you, why cant we all benefit from teamspeak? then you wouldn’t have randoms, so my idea is this.

You have 8 channels, each channel is linked to one commander, while you are on this channel you will be able to hear voice chat from that commander, only that commander may speak in the channel all others can listen.

The commanders may speak freely with each other, since there will be a keybind for world chat and commander chat.

Been playing my thief a lot of late, and I feel stealth needs to be balanced.

here are afew changed that would put it inline.

:Any direct hit removes stealth(Not aoe or cleave)

:Any action performed in stealth that is an attack or skill activation will reveal you for half a second. (this also means stomping)

:An attack that is blocked will reveal you for half a second.

:You cannot stack stealth

:you cannot gain stealth by way of attacking keep doors or walls.

:your enemy no longer loses his target when you stealth, when you appear from stealth they regain their lock on

:Aoe damage you take while in stealth will leave a blood spatter on the floor.

you do realise that you can use the sword immobile burst skill then instantly swap to another weapon like greatsword and use 100 blades, its a win combo of death

its totally insane how a class with stealth can just pop it and even when hit directly remain in stealth, classes like thief just stealth spam using cloak and dagger and reset a fight at will, it takes no great feat of skill to just spam stealth nonstop stabing a player who has no clue where you are.

yes I have an 80 thief.

Stealth should not remove target lock, you should regain lock once they appear.
stealth should not be stackable.
stealth should be removed when they attack and are blocked.
any and all action from stealth should remove stealth.
if you take a direct hit (not aoe) you should have stealth removed.

yes it is allowed, and some devs even use it, but any crash you may get while using it is down to you not anet.

I failed to highlight the type of wvw event, of later pve has been getting all the content, what im asking is;

You you enjoy a a WvW based and focus living world event, an event based fully on pvp, be it wvw or spvp.

I don’t know how it would work though.

turn vsync on, im pretty sure that will fix it.

it sounds like your gpu is getting caught in idle performance mode, or maybe your cpu is not switching to performance mode while gaming, or maybe your psu is getting hot and undervolting your gpu

run the Heaven Benchmark 4.0 tool, note down the temp and the score and voltage. play the game as normal, see if you can get the issue again, if you get the issue again, run Heaven Benchmark 4.0 again, check the score again if the score is lower then you might have a driver or heat/voltage issue.

for the cpu run prime95 for 15mins, this is normaly enough to check stability for gaming, make sure your cpu is running at the correct speed, check the voltage and temps, you should not ever get over 70c on stock cooler and stock speed.

if all is fine, you may have corrupted system drivers, reinstall motherboard drivers and graphic drivers.

90c on a gpu is not ok, full load temp should be 85c max, 90c is at the thermal limit, 95c is the thermal throttling and 110c is the thermal shut off point.

clean your system case, make sure you do not have supersampling on, also try turning adaptive vsync on, its awesome

Most of the new mmo players are greedy, and due to this they are unable to remove themselves from any Event offering easy loot.

The living world events have pretty much killed wvw for most servers, and put a strain on those server with few wvw guilds while the servers with a large number of wvw guilds are having the time of their lives, roaming at taking what they want when they want it.

So, I ask you, do you think a WvW based living world event would be a good idea?

being immune to damage doesn’t stop you from knocking them down or fearing them.

if they stealth stomp, you cant hit them, you cant knock them down and if you fear them they run off in stealth then just come back and stealth again.

how do you even hide in front of a guy you want to stab in the face?

“downed player> Oww my head hurts, mm I must be seeing things, what is this shadowy figure standing over me, mm whats he going to do? I know, I will ignore it. UURRRK” <blood spatter>

so, I was crashing a lot, never ending crashing.
my system was not overheating, no drive issues, no memory issue, no hardware issues I could find.

I ran prime and memtest for 12 hours without error, with no luck..

Then on a whim, because they went down in price I upgraded to 64gb ddr3 2800hz

I have not had once game crash since, so I can only assume there was a memory issue and the game picked up on this while nothing else could.

If u could change anywhere youd get ppl changing before a fight to setups perfect for the encounter

I’m dying for the ability to do this and I would pay good money for it

The feature is the.

you can buy gear setup page’s that appear in the equipment tab. They cost 400gems each to a max of 4.

Each page will hold one set of gear and one and weapons and one trait setup.

this will give you the ability to change your role/setup alot easier.

You cannot change to a gear page while out in the wild. You may only change while in the citadel or in an upgraded keep you own

I have an 80 warrior, thief, Mesmer, Guardian, Ranger

I have spent £32 per class on gems to turn into gold so I could gear them with afew sets each of exoitcs, because im lazy.

now I don’t think im the only one crazy enough to do that.

The dark age of Camelot frontier, and some of the same mechanics like relics, movable siege, better choke points.

Fall damage should be buffed 200% that way people can use the environment and choke points without people being able to bypass by leaping off cliffs.

take alook at the map.

http://tekener.com/maps/

then goto frontier maps

where there is competition their will always be cheaters.

ello, I just started playing my warrior again after making 809 exotic guard, thief, mesmer, ranger

and.. of course im getting horridly owned, mostly by Mesmer and engineers.

Please, to the pro warriors out there, could you give me a quick basic routine to fighting those and the other classes.

ATM im GS/Axe shield, I want a mace but im too poor atm.

that’s my point, you shouldn’t have to waste key clicks for looting, I wish we had auto loot even if it were just for wvw

I mean the thief is sweet, but I cant always get the position to backstab, some times im hitting them and it misses because the range is so small, or I hit a backstab but the server is slow and it doesn’t do the burst damage.

Warrior are so versatile and can deal more burst dps than a thief, its easy to get off too.

wvw loot, if not all loot should be auto looted into your inventory, the reason for this is that you can’t always loot what you earnt, or the bags don’t appear before you are forced to move on.

Anet, auto loot please!

its hard to choose, because im not the best of players, so I fail with each of them, then whine that the class killed me is overpowerd :@ lol.

but I seem to do well with a warrior, but I die a lot less with thief.. but I find thief hard to kill with because people are trained to fight them… but warrior is always in plane sight and you cant always get away with cheese skills.

gawwd..

could you guys post videos that you may have lying around of your class the way its meant to be played? haha

true, but then warrior is just as roamable, they deal like 10x the damage too, they can also fly across a map with two skills..

but then the thief can perma stealth and escape, also can deal hugh numbers but need to position, but can keep a player off balances..

ARRGGHH I cant choose. and I cant really play two either.
