Guild Wars 2

I really hope Anet will add these cute ears to the anniversary sale, it would make make quite a lot of us happy. <3

Oeh I love people who can’t think for themselves! Anyway, obviously I am the greatest mesmer expert, never heard of any of the previously mentioned ones. No trollin’. <3

sigh why do i bother you wont understand or choose not too which ever it is do as you will i care not ill be buying the expansion with or without input that’s all i care about i can give the code the core game to my brother maybe he’ll like the game too and we can play it together

You don’t get a core game code, you get a single code for HoT+ core game. You add that to your existing account, and get nothing but HoT.

well then i could just buy him the game with the leftover money i have after buying the expansion it really makes no differance to me

Oh yeah this is GOLD!!
You just admitted that you spent your time defending Anet while not having a clear idea of what going on.
XD

i don’t care really your opinion means little to me i will do as i want same as you will

Oh my god, take the shame! Come on, take the shame! Haha, this is definitely gold.

I honestly enjoy reading all these comments, it’s amazing to see every single argument of the OP being proven wrong. You go gw2 community! Keep it coming pleaseeee!

I so agree, I hate the QQ threads as well, if anything thiefs should get a buff, currently they are way too easy to kill.

Yes you did miss them. Humans obviously manufactured them.

Where?
It seems much more likely that the massive factories in the Charr-lands would be used.

No they aren’t, the ones in divinity’s reach are used for it.

lordkrall.7241:

The Airships are based on Charr technology actually.
Where do humans have all these manufacturing facilities? I must have missed them.

Yes you did miss them. Humans obviously manufactured them.

We all know that based on lore, the humans are stronger than the Norn. But for the sake of gamebalance they are made equally as strong. But like someone said, the lore isn’t the same as what’s happening inside a game. So yeah Humans would definitely win, they are physically WAY stronger and also WAY more intelligent than the Norn.

A while ago I thought about this but never got around to post it. But now with the focus skin for sale I feel like it’s a good time to talk about this.

Wouldn’t it be awesome to have a greatsword skin in the shape of a scythe? Personally I’m quite sad for not being able to play with scythes anymore after gw1. And when I think of the current greatsword skill animations with a scythe skin, it would look so awesome (except for mesmer AA and mind stab). Please make this happen Anet!

I easily kill all of you with MtD

/thread

See, this argument works so well because it favors everybody’s best interest. It just depends on the emphesis.

I easily kill all of you with MtD = If you’re using MtD, you get rekt by me.

I easily kill all of you with MtD = By running MtD, I rek you all!

Brilliant.

Exactly, so bottomline is, you all get rekt by me!

I easily kill all of you with MtD

As a person who doesn’t have the star either I think the way you act is indeed troublesome. You do indeed act like you are entitled to have this item. Ontop of that, if we look at so called “facts” they never re-released the shattered holographic dragon wings nor the Sunless wings. So Anet has absolutely no reason to re-release the star, based on past experiences.

This build feels so weak compared to other builds used in spvp. Definitely wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Also the distortion on signet is such a waste since ground-targetted AoEs still hit you. I cannot see how this build would be superior in any situation to other builds currently used in spvp. I can only see this work if you just ‘enjoy’ playing this build, but apart from that… just no.

They could totally make mordremoth an open world boss. They could have a special sealed off area where mordremoth spawns. This area can only be accessed by finishing the story line on your character, after the last instanced story you move towards this place and unlock the waypoint there. If you haven’t done the story you can’t access the waypoint. That way it makes so much more sense that your char can fight mordremoth, ontop of that you can’t just stumble upon the dragon.

This comes to me as quite a surprise, as a person who mains a mesmer and has never lost to a thief I don’t understand why mesmers would hate on this kind of an easy kill (warrior is definitely the easiest and probably every mesmer would agree with that). Thought I understand if they’d hate thieves for their easy access of leaving a fight, but focussed on the fighting aspect of both classes I cannot see why thieves would be seen as a threat to mesmers (This is all written from a 1 vs 1 perspective, in a 1 vs 2 or 2 vs 2 so many other aspects have to be taken into account that it pretty much doesn’t come down to mesmer vs thief, but more like which partner the thief has and which build that partner has etc etc.)

I guess in the end it all comes down to how experienced one is when it comes to their own class + predicting enemy movement. Obviously knowing your own class isn’t enough, many people forget to being able to predict your enemy’s movement is equally as important. For me I find it insanely easy to predict thief movement which is probably why I pretty much always block/dodge backstabs and steals.

So what I’m trying to say is, these classes don’t counter eachother (I always say that classes don’t counter eachother, only builds) and that it all boils down to how experienced the player is. Hate shouldn’t be directed at the class but more at how ‘bad’ you yourself are.

Omg we’re getting Cantha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I completely agree, thieves need more Health. My mesmer kills them way too fast, it’s not funny anymore. Please turn my thief enemies in some kind of challenge, Anet!

How did I manage to miss that?! I’m very happy. I hope it will be sometime close in the future haha.

Like the title says, we used to have armor that you could exclusively obtain and use in sPvP. I have seen threads before which asked for the return of these armors, and well this thread does pretty much the same, but I also got an idea on how to obtain this gear.

The glorious armor box pretty much gave the idea. Why not make something similar but with a choice of the light, medium or heavy old sPvP skins? It should not take that much effort to create such a reward track, you could basically copy paste the first 7 tiers of the glorious reward track and then change the final reward to a new container with a choice of one of the pieces of these sets.

I know there are people who think that these rewards should stay exclusive, but when I look at how gw2 works, it should be anything but that. Yes you should work for the item, but I don’t think it should be unobtainable for people who never had a chance to try and get it. Especially not seeing as how these items were not tied to some kind of event (like shattered holographic dragon wings), and even then Arenanet has made rewards from previous events available (not all, but quite a lot still).

Please post down your opinion and I hope you guys support this idea and that arenanet will hopefully take a look at it as well!

Here is by the way one of the armors: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/PvP_Masquerade_armor

@Zaxares

If I bought a pistol and started shooting people, would you say I paid my own money, therefore I can do anything I want with it?

Anyway, devs won’t do anything with these farms, because they are terrified of losing small sPvP community. For example, they did nothing with Skyhammer farmers.

Oh my god this is the most kittened comparison ever LOOOOOL just oh my god. Someone please screenshot it and post it on tumblr or something. =D

You’re right OP, rating means nothing. Being able to play low skilled builds can give you high rating but it does not make you a good player for example.

Skyhammer is a very nice map, please do not listen to the haters, but listen to the majority of people who like this map and enjoy playing it! =)

All I can say is: Mesmer.

Looks kind of average and VERY easy to escape from.

Wyrden.4713:

by the time any mesmer catches up to u, the time is up

Nope.

You’re dying because, believe it or not, there are people that outplay you le gasp.

Mesmer > all

Keep this map, it has an awesome and interesting approach to pvp!

Aqualung.6324:

Engi stealth. Magnet pulls, GG. Then say we don’t know how to approach it? I assume by approach you mean, play a gay class with a gay build to win and feel remotely skilled because in one map you can 1v1 people far better skilled than you due to stealth/pull/fear/knock back wins? You’re post makes me SICK LOL

/Big Daddy Essi

So people should play a hetero class with a hetero build to win? Since when is hetero superior to gay?

Dirven.3021:

Please post what you like about skyhammer! And if you want to post what you dislike about it, then this is not the thread for you and even better, there is are multiple threads where you can post your negative opinion in and where it will be appreciated!

Seems like a quote is needed! I hope I don’t have to ask a moderator to remove the posts that aren’t related to the OP.

Oh, now I understand why I have to keep putting the mini back in the slot. And yes, it’s very annoying, please fix!

Since I pretty much only see the people who dislike skyhammer post their opinions, I think it’s time to let the people who like skyhammer show their opinions! (and yes there are many people who like skyhammer)

The reason why I like skyhammer is because it requires a completely different approach. And I must admit that it’s nice to see people get mad, simply because they don’t know how to fight in this match.

I hope Arenanet will keep skyhammer as it is, should it be removed out of solo Q? No, if you don’t know how to handle the mapstructure, then that just means you have something to improve on!

Please post what you like about skyhammer! And if you want to post what you dislike about it, then this is not the thread for you and even better, there is are multiple threads where you can post your negative opinion in and where it will be appreciated!

no worries OP, mesmers are A LOT of fun to play, it takes some time though to get the most out of them, but they are such an interesting class. and hey you could always do worse, think of having a thief as your main LOL

It is actually very easy to fight a thief. Always use staff, it will drive them crazy with your number 2 skill, if you play it right they can never land a burst on you. Put atleast 4 in chaos magic and 3 in shatter so you got lowest cooldown possible for skill 2 and 4 on staff, then the next set of traits depend on what you run as second weapon set.

You have literally never fought a decent thief have you, staff is literally THE worst weapon to fight thieves with, they always have one teleport more than you and your phase retreat is merely an inconvenience into their rotation. If you truly want to beat a thief play a really good PU, plain and simple. With Shatter even if you outplay them they may still win, and you can’t burst them in melee range due to their evades. If staff was so effective at fighting good thieves then how come players such as Supcutie, Helseth etc who are top mesmers, lose frequently to average thieves.

It sounds more like you have either never fought a thief on a mesmer or you just did not pay enough attention to your class.

Anyhow, Fay pretty much sums it up, but let’s not forget how useful staff is for blowing up your clones for AoE conditions. The damage outside stealth from a thief is not that bad, that’s why staff is so great, it has so many ways of removing any chance of landing backstab or a burst on the mesmer in general and you’re still being able to provide damage + condition pressure.

I should also note that my information comes from dueling thieves in the obsidian sanctum arena and not from dueling thieves in spvp.

Ok what Pyro said is correct, but he also said that staff alone wont win you the fight. I know for fact that it won’t and it’s a downhill battle fighting thieves as a Mesmer. Is it impossible? No. But kitten hard. Also most thieves in WvW play D/P which is the easiest spec to counter as a Mesmer and the numbers game is slightly different. I’ve met WvW Mesmers whose mind wracks hit for 3k each and while a thief equally hits as hard, due to the way thief vs mesmer fights play out the increased damage seems to benefit mesmer more.

Also I’m a PvP player and I haven’t yet found a thief that is bothered by my staff skills, however (and I hate sounding elitist too) the PvP players I’ve played with are generally of a much higher skill than those I’ve met in WvW (however the two game modes are completely different so you can’t directly compare them).

Sure staff works a bit, but try beating thieves such as Sizer, Chozen, Red Levin, Collero, Astrastea etc “easily” using a staff shatter build. It just doesn’t happen.

Not going to add more since everything has been said and you should just reread the previous posts. Anyway here’s a tip, go fight duelers in obsidian sanctum, it will be an eye-opener for you.

Put atleast 4 in chaos magic and 3 in shatter so you got lowest cooldown possible for skill 2 and 4 on staff, then the next set of traits depend on what you run as second weapon set.

If you run sword/pistol (which would totally work vs thieves) put 6 in dueling and use the cooldown reducing trait for pistol and sword + evasive deception. If you use sword + sword (you will have 9 second cooldown on your sword 4 block skill then, which is perfect because when a thief goes into stealth, wait 1 second then use the skill, it will basically remove any chance of landing a back stab) then you could put 4 points in dueling 2 points in domination for either cripple on clone death or more illusion damage (both of them will hit kitten the thief).

When you have staff in your hands and the thief goes into stealth, use chaos storm on your location, it has chance of dazing the thief if he gets near + you will get aegis, which will block the backstab. If Chaos storm is on cooldown, move away from the thief but let him think he can land a backstab, then use skill 2 for teleporting away so you buy more time which will make his stealth run out if you time this well.

And that’s basically it, if you know how thieves play, they are oh so easy for mesmers to kill.

PS: to get more damage on staff equip sigil of fire and sigil of air on it, you can do insane damage with auto-attack then.

Mesmers are actually way better than thieves in almost every aspect of the game.

Looks like someone is in dire need of an ego boost haha =D

Hmmm the amount of hate comments I got from thieves because I use PU for decoy and massinvisibility (only need to use massinvisibility 10% of the time vs them but usually kill em without using it) were the best, it’s really satisfying. ;o

PLEASE, I beg you PLEASE, cry more about PU, the mesmers love it. And more and more mesmers will turn to PU coz u know what? people love to annoy you in pvp, why would someone have mercy on ur soul when u can just use PU just to see em cry! So here a shout out to my fellow mesmers, please use PU from now on!

Anyhow, just for the complete morrons let me show u why PU is balanced:

The trait itself would only be OP on a class who could spam stealth without sacrificing a lot in traits/skills

ok let us have a brief look at the mesmer:

2 utility skills (40 & 90 sec cd with 4 and 3 sec duration when traited)
elite skill (90 sec cd 6 sec duration if traited)
torch skill (30 sec cd 4 sec duration)

then ontop of that the boons are random, Aegis only works ONCE.

so let’s see, if someone would go FULL PU that means hardly any diversity in utility skills + bound to fail torch and an elite skill wasted. So yeah please enlighten me again how PU is OP on a mesmer? But yes u definitely motivated me to use PU in all PVP matches, ty a bunch for it <3

Wow you must be a really bad mesmer.. I NEVER have any trouble killing someone in 1vs1 in wvw, only thieves, but that’s because they can simply stealth and run away. I never die to a thief though, they are way too easy and predictable for that.

Then again, in the end it’s only SFR that really loses when it comes to the top 3. Piken already knew they’d most likely end up third and that SFR and Vizunah would be fighting for second and first place. Funny thing though is that we robbed you of that chance the first week already! TOO FUNNY! All those people that transferred to SFR so they’d reach first in the league.. LOOOOOOOOL! THE FIRST WEEK LOOOOOOOOL!

Omg, still so much rage from SFR, it’s too funny! We should totally double team them last match with Vizunah just to make them rage even more. It’s totally worth it! Lmao!!!!!

OniDrake.4361:

lmcvann.4781:

heres some facts

PS has attacked VS MORE than SFR has

SFR has attacked PS MORE than any other single focus by either team

SFR is loosing because they are 73% focusing on PS and only 27% on VS this is why they are loosing

Fact:

PS is losing (you are second not first) because we have taged them. We are 2V1 against PS.

Dude when I talk about 2v1 is EB map. Bring those stats. I think you fliped Durios for the 1st time last night, with our help.

I’m not braging about our achivments against PS in EB map, because you are realy bad, we don’t deserve any credits for that. You are so bad in the map and, that we can defend from VS, an flip Anza and Mendon’s with easy.

In terms of VS point ofview its beter not to attack your map, they only go for SM, or open fights with you.

PS: I can’t play atm thats why I’m replaying to this kind of “things”.

You forgot to say that Piken cant cap free towers with vizuna blocking our spawn, piken also catapult invulnerable wall and use catapult for gate instead rams XDXD

PS fails so much, yet you’re still last by quite a bit LOOOOOOOOOOOL! XDDDDDDDDDDD

Also, go viz! =)

milton.1796:

I’m enjoying the match up.
Piken has Gunnars and Abaddons on farm so we can all go around levelling alts with birthday bonuses and get free loot bags everywhere from you.

My thoughts exactly! lmao

Wemil.7052:

only too make it official. I have already today got asked from 15 desolation to stay away from your wp keeps.

you had a nice guy yesterday night logging in with fake wemmmil or something say ‘’omg we gonna lose this week omg omg omg omg’’ was fun laughs xD especially when had 2 other Wemil online ppls I know talking bullkitten to each other xD<3 everyone gang banged on him.

so there is no point if I get a nice morning push going and set all your keeps to paper expect your keeps to be ultimate farming spot to sfr players many ppls are looking for legendary and omg its ppls numbers of houndreds:)

LETS ENJOY THIS RESET!!!

Yay! Another week of SFR begging for our help against Vizunah.
Personally I love how relaxed Viz fights during reset and then still take the number 1 spot.

(bombing with omjegas since day 1)

I just absolutely love it how my truthful post made you but(t)hurt. Keep it going please. =D

I’m sorry Deso, unfortunately you cannot change the place with Vizu.
Piken and Riverside would be much better for you (but correct me if i’m wrong).

This match-up is so easy. The only challenge for Desolation here is Abaddon. The rest is just so weak.. they’re not worth mentioning.

Why all your “organized” group in 30+ always runing away from our group 20/25 ppl? And after few mins coming back with 3-4 groups making blobb 70+?

Oh right. Its Desoblobadon.

Oh you so mad.
