Guild Wars 2

For sure rangers, in most of PvE area, are now a good choice. Just don’t go WvW, sPvP, raids and fractals.

Is the HP and toughness of pets in WvW actually a bug or it’s the new mechanic? My fernhound died from the veteran harpy, which is quite a joke. If it’s how it is from now, then you just killed the core ranger and you assume we will all buy the new expansion. No matter what is the plans for the new expac, rangers didn’t deserve such a nerf bat in the nuts.

I noticed in WvW that ALL my pets have 15.4k hp while i have 17k hp…feels like there’s more bugs for pets than we thought

i noticed in WvW that ALL my pets have only 15.4k hp while i have 17k hp…plus i feel like my pets have no toughness at all..they die so easily.

I am a ranger since GW1 and i survived every single update/nerf Anet did so far. That one just killed me. We figured that out, Anet hates us (rangers) and just give us hatred while warriors and guardians receive love.
First: our stability is gone. Signet of the wild doesn’t give stability anymore and enlargement has been replaced by Stoneform. Everyone knows that invulnerability for 5 seconds could not replace 5 stacks of stability for 8 seconds. All we have left is the elite “strenght of the pack”, that offers nice stability…every 75 seconds. Thanks, but no thanks.
Bark skin is gone. You replaced damage reduction by some low budget healing, that apply only when you have protection on. We don’t do much dmg with berserker gear and we have low hp. Now we still don’t do much damage and we take more damage.
Alpha focus: no…just…no
Natural vigor: Give us at least 33% to be fair
Signet of renewal: 2½ seconds of resistance. When you pull 20 stacks of every condition, you just dont care about that 2½. Since you can’t purge it from your pet, he will just die 3 seconds later. Plus it pulls now only 13 condition from nearby allies.
Empathic bond: we rely on our pet, even if we don’t want it. That trait will just keep killing it even faster. What will happen is that we will lose a pet, swap, lose the next, run petless, like most of the time we already do.
I tried it in WvW, and my pet now gets killed by 2~3 veteran from camp.

tl;dr: Anet killed our core rangers for good this time.

Big advantage if you own hills, nothing at all for bay. SMC owner will be able to stealth and glide bomb anyone who tries to take the castle. Feels like servers who struggle in WvW will be even more sacked with that new system.

Same here. I have all previous LS nodes and i can’t see that one at npc.

I wish we could put 4 recipes (different or same kind/rarity) in the mystic forge to get a new one, like any gems/crests. Would be nice to do it with food too. That would lower the amount of stuff on trading post and actually give a purpose to those items. What do you think guys?

I would suggest to add an option to the inventory: auto deposit all materials. That would save a lot of time/trouble since you don’t always notice when your inventory is full with the AoE auto loot. An option for auto salvage could also be added. Both would be possible to enable/disable by the player. That could also be a mastery, like the auto loot.

ok…well the pets are pretty strong and don’t die…1 of my account disconnect after like 1h but the other one doesn’t disconnect or rarely…the fact is i don’t use any macro or program or whatever that could allow me an advantage…my fear is that i could get that second account ban for that reason. Should i stop going afk with it or i could defend myself when a ban comes out?

If you’re legit not trying to afk farm and are not using a macro, then you should be fine. If you do somehow get a suspension, you can contest it and will probably get the suspension removed.

I have to confess it’s a bit of a farming since i get a bit of mats and exp but i definitly don’t use any macro or program to do it. I just want to be sure it’s “tolerated” to do so. Thanks everyone for your answers.

Yeah, it is against the rules to farm while afk for an extended period of time. People do get suspensions for doing what you’re doing.

Even with the auto afk kick from the server?

any field…i mean not in town…somewhere where mobs spawn more likely.

Can you actually get a ban from being AFK on the field? Like an AFK farming?

Temporary solution to the problem seeing most of the GW2 asset servers are down is to manually force your client to use one of the few asset servers that are up. Thanks to UnknownFreak for suggesting using another asset server in the other support forum.

On Mac:
Open a terminal window, copy and paste this line and press return:

/applications/guild\ wars\ 2.app/contents/MacOS/cider —use-dos-cwd C:Gw2 -- C:\\GW2\\GW2.exe -assetsrv 151.249.89.19:80

On PC:
- Right click on your Guild Wars 2 shortcut and select ‘Properties’.
- In the ‘Target Area’ field you will see the location of your Guild Wars 2 executable file:
…\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe
- Add the command line argument for the working asset server after the quote marks, beginning with a space:
“…\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” -assetsrv 151.249.89.19:80
- Save and close, and now you should be able to login when you run the game.

NOTE that this is just a temporary solution, they need to get their asset servers up and running again.

It works fine…for a single account…doesn’t work for multiwars2 i guess i’ll play 1 account at a time

I am experiencing overheating issue since december 23 update. I was first in sPvP when my computer had a shut down to prevent damage. I wasn’t sure of what happened and i tried to log back like nothing happened. I crashed 20 minutes later the same way. In Bios, the temperature of the cpu was indicating around 88 celcius. I tried a program to monitor temperature and i was surprised to see that the cpu went from 30 celcius to almost 70 celcius in less than 12 minutes. I thought it was first my computer (even with 6 fans in the case and no dust) but even after tweeking stuff in bios to boost the performance, my cpu was still overheating. I’ve asked in map chat and i wasn’t the only one experiencing that issue since the last update. Anyone got any idea what went wrong in the last update? or it is just me?

Same problem…can’t complete my daily pvp matches

I did know about that email address…thank you!

I found an (what i think is) exploit which allows users to log out then log in back to be in some other place. I tested it on few JPs and the steam ogre and the results say that it is possible to skip parkours to get the chests and to skip the matrix cube to get in the area. I did a report in game 2 months ago but nothing changed. I am trying to upload multiple screenshot to show exactly where are the points to do it but it seems like i fail @ it. So far the problem is still up there and you should try to fix it. If anyone could tell me how to upload multiple screenshots, it would be appreciated.

Strange thing is that i can survive/kill in any situation in PvE, but i can not kill nor survive vs thief and warrior in sPvP anymore.
