Guild Wars 1 Mesmer look?

The pants and boots are just the dungeon armor from Ascalon Catacombs. The coat is the Hall of Monument Heritage armor. The shoulders and gloves are hidden.

Actually it is a bug, The shoulders became messed up some time ago and dozens of threads popped up as a result. It was mostly likely a tweak on the skeletons or something that caused it. Anet did not want to revert the change that caused it, for whatever reason.

GW1 Paragon; its definitely the most unique class I have ever played in a mmorpg. Even Dervish and Ritualist and are not as unique IMO because they simply feel like scout and pet classes in other games.

Mesmer Greatsword auto attack damage

forgot where i read it, but it could be the total dmg dealt, not the dmg per hit/tick.

Correct. It’s an annoying change because it makes it very difficult to tell how much damage you are actually doing; and makes the variable distance damage even more annoying and stupid.

WvW Guards

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Emissary Vex.5690

Emissary Vex.5690

I believe the bug you encountered here is the more common delayed dolyak spawn. Due to the fact that there is an extra guard and an extra scout in your screenshot.

For whatever reason; enemy dolyak’s can spawn after camps are flipped because their respawn timers are not immediately cancelled. These extra guards are probably from the camp being upgraded before you flipped it back.

Getting stuck in combat?

Posted by: Emissary Vex.5690

Emissary Vex.5690

I’m not sure if this is the same as the teleport bug. If it is then you can use an emote to unstuck yourself. Just type /sit and see if it lets you move again. I know; it sucks but its the best way to prevent yourself from dying.

Random Immobilize

Posted by: Emissary Vex.5690

Emissary Vex.5690

Yes they are aware but unfortunately have not prioritized fixing it. The only advice I can give you is to use an emote to unstick yourself. I use /sit because its the shortest and fastest to type. Of course having to stop and do that mid-combat is tedious but its the only way to stop yourself from dying.

Maguuma and Shiverpeak Explorer

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Emissary Vex.5690

Emissary Vex.5690

So I was looking at my explorer achievements. Shiverpeak Explorer says I have 174/175 areas and Maguuma Explorer says I have 166/167 areas. Yet I have 100% map completion and when I manually check each zone they also say I have 100%.

I have already gone through and found the areas that have been added to the game after launch and I do not have any indication that I am missing any points of interest except for these two achievements. I have no way of finding out why these two seem to be bugged

Yes the guards spawn even if the yak’s do not leave. In fact I am 100% certain these are caravan guards.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Resource_camp

The t2 additional guards include a zealot, 2 scouts, and 2 cabalists (and does not include the regular charr guards) .

Based on the fact there is a dolyak in that screenshot I would assume they are in fact caravan guards; which are a t1 upgrade. Simply kill the dolyak first and they despawn immediately

10- Mesmers can glitch through any gate in WvW

This is absolutely not true. If this happened it was a hack.

A hack is an external program that messes with the game code allowing you to do things that shouldn’t be possible by bypassing some mechanisms.

A bug/glitch is a fault in the program code or fault in the game rules which allows to do things that shouldn’t or weren’t intended to be possible.

And to do the mesmer glitch, you don’t need an external program. It is a bug and luckily not widely known. But the bug can be performed at every gate as far as I know

I know what a hack is. If this was as simple as you would like to believe, I can assure you no one would ever bother using siege again. Except for portal, mesmers don’t have access to any other skills that other classes don’t. The reason hackers choose to use mesmers for this particular hack is because they can then portal in allies in after the fact.

If this was simply an exploit then you would also see thieves and elementalists using their teleport spells to accomplish it as well and you would not have come to believe this is in anyway mesmer specific.

Anyways tomorrow is my last day at ANet so you won’t be seeing this face on the forums any longer.

This is disturbing news. Bug fixes have already been provided at a less than satisfactory pace yet anet is laying off staff? In fact there are more bugs in the game now then there were a year ago…

Your help is greatly appreciated Tyler; thank you for doing what you could in the time you had left.

I believe you’re talking about swiftness, not haste or quickness. We do get swiftness, but only on a random basis; we do not have any built-in reliable source of swiftness, since Temporal Curtain’s “intended” behaviour is not reliable.

Yes I meant swiftness sorry. Thanks for catching that

3. Complicated, technically terrain related bugs. All classes have this issue to some extent.

While I’m sure there are terrain issues for everyone, this problem is far more severe for mesmers; unless on a 100% flat surface this illusion can fail up to 50% of the time.

4. Working as intended. Good topic for debate on changing in the future.

I believe you when you say this is intended. But I do not believe that you fully comprehend the situation. Mesmers essentially do not even receive swiftness; as it does not only not stack with itself, but it does not stack with any other classes swiftness. It is constantly being over-written by other skills and other cooldowns/timers. If the developers wish to completely disconnect mesmer swiftness from every other swiftness in the game then please change the boon to a unique one so that it reflects that.

9. Intended, follows standardized shadowstepping rules. No repro otherwise.

Surely you must be joking when you say you cannot reproduce this. I can show you THOUSANDS of places in the game where the spell shows you a green target and does not work. All we are asking is that it be changed to stop telling us its ok to cast when it’s not.

12. Intended. Those skills bounce to allies and only grant the POSITIVE effects “boons” its not attached to reflect. (Trick: use your reflect to grant extra bounces:D:D)

I don’t think you understood this at all; they are not giving boons because they are being reflected by the players they are supposed to land on.

15. Intended. This is how projectile/missile “tracking” works.

This is absolutely not true. If that is how projectiles work then why can ranger arrows track me down after I not only turn invisible but change directions while running.

Functionality of Illusion of Life

in Mesmer

Posted by: Emissary Vex.5690

Emissary Vex.5690

Current Functionality:
“Gives allies Illusion of Life at the target location, allowing them to get up from downed state and keep fighting. Fully revives allies if they kill a foe.”

Generally resurrection skills are only worth equipping for long boss fights where there is nothing for players to rally on; which makes this particular utility skill very useless. I have literally never used it or seen it used.

In fact the ONLY time I ever have my group equip a resurrection skill are for the boss fights in Fractals such as the Molten Boss and Mai Trin where the shockwaves and barrage phase make manual resurrection a bad idea.

This skill is extremely badly balanced; other classes have not only AOE rezzes but also grant buffs, have passive effects, etc.

In the very least please remove the requirement to kill a foe. If not then please consider balancing this skill in other ways. Have it give better buffs then other rezzes, give it a passive effect that makes it worth using over mantras or signets; ; give targets clones to increase their survival; and/or lower the cool down.

Phantasmal Rogue (Downed skill #3) is also extremely buggy. I would say it fails to attack 50% of the time. And considering how critical downed skills can be its very annoying.

Mesmer Blink

Posted by: Emissary Vex.5690

Emissary Vex.5690

Lately, the past couple weeks I have had an annoying issue with blink. When I click it sometimes it immediately activates; causing me to teleport to the exact spot that I am already standing without giving me a chance to select where. I have never had this problem before and I do not have the auto-ground targeting enabled.

I feel like the mesmer class is just getting buggier, and buggier, and buggier.

If performance is the problem then they should stop designing all the content in the game to be done in mindless zergs. The 30m reuse makes these items useless. I would have rather they simply removed them from the game and refunded my gold/karma.

Get Rid of Upgrade Gold Costs

in WvW

Posted by: Emissary Vex.5690

Emissary Vex.5690

This is a real issue IMO. I agree that this needs to be removed or at least changed.

One change I would be okay with is scaling down the cost for teams with the outnumbered buff. Teams with less players cant pool together enough money to fairly upgrade things; and a reduced cost would lead to more upgrades and is better for the defending outnumbered team.

I don’t know if anybody noticed this in the last year and a half of GW2 but… Have you seen an asura dodge! They’re doing back flips! When they jump they basically jump their height imagine a human being doing that, not possible!

Actually humans can do flips too. Just hit dodge the same time as jump.

The devs already have responded https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Mesmer-stuck-after-blinking/first#post3373914

This is a global issue happening to all classes. We are investigating this issue and will get a fix in ASAP.

Reports indicate this can happen after leap skills, picking up bundles, or teleporting. If any more reproducible steps come in please add it to this thread and I’ll add it to my report.

Thanks!

Is this a dragon?

Emissary Vex.5690

This is taken from just outside Quarrel Falls. There is a third set of scales/spines further down the road to the left that I couldn’t fit in the same screenshot.

I’m wondering if it could be a dragon champion sleeping under the hill/mountain; or maybe even an elder dragon. The scales have a chitinous shell-like appearance. Maybe this dragon has some insect characteristics and can burrow underground?

Decoy stealth useless in pve?

in Mesmer

Posted by: Emissary Vex.5690

Emissary Vex.5690

Its not useless, there is a trait that gives you buffs while invisible; I highly reccomend taking it. Those 3 seconds of stealth can give you regen, aegis, and armor and getting buffs can mean all the difference sometimes. Also the stun-breaker element of this skill is useful in itself.

Will ascended armor mean mix-match armor?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Emissary Vex.5690

Emissary Vex.5690

Wow this has obviously gone completely over your heads. Wanting mix and match armor is not the problem, I used a mixed set as well.

You aren’t thinking clearly. how are you going to feel when you cant control how your armor mixes. What are you going to do when you have an ascended chest piece that doesn’t match anything else at all.
