You might just be unlucky or Magic Find could be kittenched.
It works for me, it works wonders to be honest with you. Just yesterday I consumed a Lemon Bar which gives you + 16% magic find I believe. Found 2 dyes, tons more gems, a couple of great rare weapons and so on and so forth. For me, It is something that works perfectly, I recieve more quality weapons and armor with more magic find and find more dyes and gems which is just awesome.
I mean It should be yes for everyone. I mean 60 bucks for a game where you clock in a huge amount of time compared to console games which you play maybe for 8 hours for the campaign and then keep playing for fun, maybe add another 5 then, but 13 at most.
I have clocked 200 + hours in GW2, Of course it was worth the money, I would pay triple that for 200 hours worth of gameplay.
yes, yes and yes, it should have a dueling system, no doubt.
My Favorite Playable: Human & Charr
Least Favorite Playable: Sylvari, I mean they are lettuce with legs in my eyes, no disrespect but just looking at them makes me hungry.
My favorite non-playable: Kodan (Anet need to put these dudes into the game, Try the Ursan Tonic, Makes you into one.
My least favorite non-playable: Centaur, They are just swarming everywhere and are among the most boring to face… not only that but I hate their silly attacks as well.
1. No
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. Yes
5. Yes
Speak for yourself and lear to like i, its very importan part in the combat system. I love adding points to traits and receiving all those extra lil bonuses when battling.
I do agree that when it comes to the rangers utility skills, especially spirits, they should actually givethe boons and conditions that it should without just having to hope for it with only 20 % chance of getting any, which is incredibly poorly done. They should actually come up with a better system for spirits as as of now they are just a burdon without then moving around with you.
Besides that Im happy, I main a Longbow ranger and am very pleased with most of the skills, of course some are poor, especially some utility skills such as search and rescue, which is never needed as in a group battle, other people will revive someone long before your pet does, and even if you are with a small group of people, the mobs may attack your pet and kill it as it does not fight back when reviving.
Sometimes when I fight against a specific creature, Lets say the Jotun. Im a Ranger and use a longbow btw.
There is one things Im not getting though, when I fire away at the jotun, for whatever reason it runs past me and attack me from behind, Like where Im standing, he literally just runs past me and attacks me from behind, he is not doing any charge attack or nothing and this has happened with many different mobs as well. But I really dont know if its meant to be this way. I mean wouldnt it make more sense for the Jotun to rush at me and bash my face in the first chance it got? like 30 % of the time, they run past me if I stand still.
Some creature I can understand, them moving around and trying to get the advantage on you, especially creatures with the ability to fly. I dont know, Is it just me or is it intended to be this way, Its not a large issue but just wondered that I might as well ask the community on what its all about.
Thanks to any who answer.
Thanks, This helped me out tremendously.
“Best name ive seen” thread = “The Most amusing name ive seen” Thread.
and I thought we were gonna talk about the “best” names in the game, we are talking about how little imagination people have so they have to resort to using childish names because its supposedly “funny”
Anything I can do to support the cause, Originally from Estonia but living in Sweden. In Sweden they also have a breast cancer awareness month now in october if im not wrong. Ill definetly do my part to support the cause.
Well it depends on if you want to play on a European or American server.
The easiest way to see population of a server is to see if it is full during peak hours, in character selection screen, press world selection in the lower left corner I believe, and that gives you a good estimate.
Henge of Denravi is a beastly server on America which has tons of people and great pvp-ers. Far Shiverpeaks, Vizunah Square and Desolation for Europe. I know more about European servers cuz Im on Far Shiverpeaks myself.
But It totally depends on what your looking for, some servers seem to focus more on WvWvW and PVP, while other on PVE.
But the Most populated servers in Europe are those 3 I named above.
And I know that Henge of Denravi is huge on America, But there are several other servers that are full during peak hours.
Human Ranger, Level 45.
10/10
Huhh… Never lost to a mesmer in pvp and have played easily over 100 games, faced them 1v1 about 5 times atleast, Died maybe once against them, killed 4/5 mesmers and Im a ranger with a longbow, not bad huh?
Looking at the title – Agreed.
People whine to much because they are terrible at the game, they level to 80 and still they are pathetic.
Im a ranger with a longbow and 2nd shortbow, I beat Guardians and Thiefs in 1v1 like its nothing, try telling me that they are overpowered.
I use a sword/axe as my secondary, it works fine. stop complaining.
Why whine about it? Seriously, if it doesnt allow you to have such a name, then just change it, complaining doesnt help as I doubt they will make an exception just for u.
This is how I see it(skills):
Crossfire – The best skill the shortbow has, its fast, effective and very quick, also gives you a lot of mobility.
Poison Volley – Does barely any damage if 1 arrow hits enemy but can poison several foes at once. Decent move.
Quick Shot – Its pretty good as you can retreat and give yourself a better position with this move, also gaining swiftness is nice.
Crippling shot – Pretty decent move again, Cripples opponent and animal can inflict bleeding.
Concussion shot – Another decent movie, nothing too special, daze/stun your opponent for a second, decent damage. very high recharge for a skill that isnt that good.
Shortbow overall is just…. decent, its a 3.5/5 for me as it is solid but at the end of the day, the only good skills inmo are the Crossfire and the quickshot. People always think that just because the shortbow is faster that its stronger or better in damage in anyway, it isnt.
Longbow:
Long Range Shot – Damage per shot is superior to the shortbow but the shortbow is indeed faster altough the long range shot of the longbow gives you guaranteed more damage the further away you are from your opponent.
Rapid Fire – This is one of the best skills the ranger can have, shooting 10 arrows in a rapid speed is highly damaging and very effective. does more damage than all of shortbow skills put together.
Hunters Shot – Giving your opponent weakness and pet gains swiftness is a pretty ok skill as it does weaken enemy and makes the pet faster, damage is alright.
Point Blank Shot – Does a good amount of damage and pushes the opponent away frm you the closer you are to him, Easily is better than Shortbows quick shot and the Point Blank does more damage and pushes the enemy away instead of having to jump backwars yourself… with the shortbow.
Barrage – Has a large are of effect and again, very very high damage for one single move, easily does more damage than every shortbow move combined. Also cripples enemies that fall under the are of effect, and if you completely use the skill, it will rain arrows for a good 5-10 seconds.
Overall, Longbow has 4 skills that are very very good and powerful as well, longbow is a 5/5 no doubt.
Its pronounced Kway and if you dont like how I pronounce it, take it up with my English teacher, not me….

They might add something of the sort but lets first they implement mounts, then we can talk about boats and aircraft (;))
Maybe you could get a job or go to school? Seems like you have way too much time on your hands…
If anyone wants to quit playing then do it, People think saying “Im Gonna QUIT, if you dont fix….” is some sort of a threat, which its not as you can never satisfy everybody.
Asura is tied with Sylvari for me, then human and Charr. Norn is the least, but it’s still ok, imo.
Could you tell me a lil bit about the Asura and Sylvari stories? I have not tried them yet.
People are just pathetic, they level up to 80 in a week and then whine on what to do next? Seriously? Maybe you could get a job or go to school so you wont level up so quickly.
Im lvl 45 after a month of play, Clocked in around 150 hours and only been on 5-6 maps/areas in the game. I play to enjoy myself, not to get to the endgame.
I have played a Charr, Human and Norn.
Charr story is very like… like Lord of The Rings Orcs/Uruk-Hai, as it all goes down on being in warbands, leadership, a lot of times you get to kill someones and a lot of story revolves around the Flame legion which is awesome, The story itself I have enjoyed so far.
Norn Story is also pretty decent but I like it the least out of all the 3 races Ive played, Norn are more about having fun during the time of battle and fight gigantic creatures which is a blast, it does have some very interesting character in its storyline but the dialog between them is pretty horrible inmo.
Human Story is in my opinion the best, I really like the route it takes right off the bat and has so many interesting characters and has many twists and turns like a thriller/drama movie. The dialog kept me interested in the story and there is a lot of story with the pirates as well, which I enjoy quite well.
If you want a serious/thriller/drama story, go with Human.
If you want a LOTR Orc/Uruk-Hai theme where you have your own warband and can get skull-cracking, choose charr.
If your looking for a more light-hearted story with many fun battles, choose Norn.
Oh wow, Sounds like a bad dream, Would not want to face them BUT it is managable with a well coordinated team and strategy. But it wouldnt be easy, You could also try and kill them off, Might be able to pick out some of them, or even if a group faces a group, on team chat try to tell players to focus their attacks on one single opponent, then move on to the other one, when they are seperated, keep them that way.
Yes they can die and are not overpowered in my opinion. A couple of days ago I played PvP, went one on one with a Guardian (Full HEalth) and it was a battle that laster about a minute and a half atleast but I beat her, Just a week ago, Me and My Guardian buddy when up against 2 Guardians, We beat them. Group vs Group, I take Guardians out as well. Im not saying its easy, but thats the thing with Guardians, if they are defensive, they lose a bit on offence which for me is Gold, I have died against Guardians in a 1v1 battle as well but my point is that they are not overpowered.´PS. Im a Ranger (Longbow)(shortbow)
In GW1, Remember Monks? Now these guys couldnt die in 1v1 battle at all.
If you are having a hard time, I would suggest you take a look at your weapon choice, skills and Traits as the smallest thing can make a huge difference, also you have to move when fighting, Use your Stamina wisely and of course… Practice makes perfect, Keep playing you will improve, Guardians are not easy the very first dozen times you face them, but it gets easier after you figre out how they play.
Hope it helped
Do you think anyone really cares if you dont like it, Haters are gonna Hate. Do you even know the first thing about Gaming? You do it for fun,seriously or not is up to you, but the main objective is for you to enjoy yourself, if YOU dont like it, thats on you, why call out Arenanet in every thread saying that they should change something, everybody can find something wrong with a game but most of what you pointed out was mere opinion, instead of fact.
GW2 screen quality is just fine for me, Exactly like in game….
“No one really reads those things so why should I?” – Most people on earth
Read the terms you agreed upon, IF not, then atleast find out whats “legal”. Using a celebrity name is a no-no in many places and you ranting about something that couldve been avoided had you used common sense.
Its all good though, just change the name.
Stop whining, please, why cant we speak about how great the game is, which it actually is.
Also, The PVP is fine.
If you want somthing different, wait until Arenanet releases the Kurzick vs Luxon again.
Its possible but I do agree, its very difficult, in GW1, you could easily fight 2 people at once and win, Well thats my experience atleast. in GW2, its also possible but not easy in anyway.
GW2 does focus more on Group vs Group rather than 2v1 or 3v2.
1v1 in GW2 is wicked awesome and very fair inmo.
Please I beg of you, Try and mess around with Traits, Healing skills, Utility SKills, Weaponry and Elite Skills, Dont just choos what skills you think are “good”, choose skills which work well together, and Traits are essential.
I know plenty of people that are Warriors, Even one of my closes friends uses a Warrior and is solid in PVP, PVE and WvWvW, even being able to fight 1v1 with most classes and beat them.
Gear, stats,skills, traits are KEY!
I think Arenanet wants you to stop constantly playing GW2 and do something else for a while.
If you level up to 80 Quickly and ruin the game for yourself, thats on you, Can hardly be blamed on Arenanet. It has only been a month.
I find this thread to be a little weird but Ill get to that in a second.
They are not overpowered inmo, But this depends on which class you are playing as and how are you fighting this thief, is it 1v1 or in groups. They do have some skills that are overpowering like being able to become invisible with every other skill and then running away. Hey, atleast they changed their names from Assassins to Thiefs as they are cowards, thiefs = Cowards.
I am a Human Ranger, and have faced a thief 1on1 several time in PVP and have killed several of them in 1on1, sometimes I have died as well but never quickly, takes easily atleast 60 seconds before Im anywhere near dying. But this is heavily dependent on your Utility skills, Elite Skills, Healing Skills, choice of weaponry and Traits …. but you knew that already right?… right. The thing is that I play an offensive Ranger with my main a longbow and secondary a shortbow, I defeat Guardians in 1v1 like its nothing, the battles are just very long and tidious.
BUT, Im not here to talk about myself, I just wanted to say that I feel its more about how YOU play against a thief, instead of it just being about the Thiefs being overpowered. They should get a lil fixed up though….
- You can not be more wrong about Traits, Mixing Utility skills with Traits is the most important thing if you want to be good in PVP, WvWvW and PVE.
- Engineers only being able to use 2 different weapon types is indeed an issue.
- Saying something is unplayable and boring is a matter of opinion, not fact.
-Professions have the ability to use whatever kind of weapon they want to so when you face a Warrior i battle, you never know what type of a weapon he will be coming with, you just have to be prepared, giving options to gamers is important, they are giving it here, if you dislike it, thats on you, dont blame Arenanet.
-Longbows suck? How is that relevant to anything you just said? Saying a weapon “sucks” first of all shows that youre about 10 years of age and have never played an MMORPG before and “hate” on weapons without really trying to understand how it works. Saying anything “sucks” is childish and uncalled for.
PS. I have a Human Ranger, Main weapon Longbow, If it sucks so much why cant a thief beat me in a 1v1 in pvp? Why am I solid at killing every mob I find without it even scratching me, If Traits dont matter, why do my Spirits follow me?
ehmmm…. I dont have that problem at all, its proportioned to the body, better than the Norn which have feet that are larger than youre face and wider than youre face.
Human feet are fine, stop complaining, Dont like it? Pick Asura, I bet youll love that races “proportions”
Give it a break okay? Isnt this so petty that its not even mention worthy? Pronouncing of words? Sersiously? Every person can say words that have an option of being British or American in a different way, Yes, there is a correct way of saying a word but its just darn petty and seriously disrespectful towards people that actually are not from an English speaking country, as these people most definetly can not pronounce most English words perfectly.
Get a hold of yourselves.
There is no such thing as a weak team inmo, There might be a few matches where a team gets rolled over like a rock but those games inmo are far from many.
From Personal Experience speaking, I know how its like to get into a PVP game and the team youre on does not know what they are doing and basically just get down to the killing, throwing strategy out the window. BUT, if youre a solid player, little by little, with more people joining youre team you should be able to make a difference and fight back, Cuz thats what its all about, fighting back even if youre the only sane one on youre team.
Ex. My and my buddy played a couple of games yesterday and got assigned to the team with fewer members and the people on there were not working well together and were just accepting their fate of losing but me and my Buddy both got around 190 points in our team and the 3rd person on our team had like 100. We lost that game but we fought back and made a difference, even if youre alone, you can make a huge difference if your atleast half decent enough to know how to mix utility skills and traits, also how you move is lethal.Staying in a group as well.
What Im trying to say is that, There is not much you can do unless you have a couple of people that actually know how to teamwork and play, newb players vs a larger amount of players, Larger amount always wins. BUT A few skilled players w/4 newbs vs large group of players. A few Skilled players might be able to push enough to make it fair for others.

I really like the game so far and am enjoying it a lot but at the same time I was wondering about what do you all think about the fact that we HAVE to have an Elite Skill, I mean I would much rather swap it out for another utility skill which is not Elite because my setup has to changes because of my Elite skill.
My question to you is; Should the Elite Kills be a mus? Or should we be able to swap it for a random Utility skill of our choice?
Dont worry, They will be adding a ton of content soon enough, Its easier to add later than Implement in the beginning.
Kodan. I would love that.
New races will probably be added, I just hope its a good one.
This game is not finished like you said. They will be adding a ton of content in the future, for now just enjoy the game, as Cantha and Elona will probably be released soon enough.
JUST because you are terrible at fighting underwater, doesnt mean that the mechanic doesnt work, You cant please every single person on earth. GW2 underwater battles are incredibly well created, learn to play underwater or just dont, Dont blame your dislike on Arenanets well thought out and put together Game mechanic.
Please take it down a notch, now youre just spewing hatred. I just saw a thread that said Mesmers and Guardians are overpowered, now they are weak again?…. Oh well, The only thing Im going to tell you is that This game is deeper than just; This character is weak. You have to know how to move in the game, Utility skills and Traits are the KEY. And if you are bad at playing a Mesmer or a Guardian or dislike Necromancers, thats on you because I know plenty of people which play those classes and are beasts.
I dont find Eles to be weak at all, It depends very much on your setup of weapon + utility kills + Heal Skill + Elite Skill, You have to actually mix and match them well enough and dont forget how important Traits are, Traits are even more important than Utility skills just because they can give you a huge advantage in the battlefield.
Even though Arenanet said that every profession can have any kind of a role, Elementalists are supposed to be support. You cant expect someone with Light armor and very high damaging moves to be a tank, Also, Elementalists are weak 1on1 in PVP but every class is golden in WvWvW and PVE.
I suggest what Arenanet is suggesting, Try it out thorougly before jumping to conclusions, the came has yet to be out a month.
PS. I have battled very strong eles in PVP, that actually can defeat me (Im a Ranger), it all depends on the build and how you move in the game.
i think rangers need better elite skills…. the only real good one i have is mistfire wolf for dmg and “rampage as one” for a speed buff to run…. the super elite skills suck
Haha, This is hilarious, “Better” elite skills, Ranger have solid Elite skills, Especially Entangle, Whether in PVP,WvWvW or even in PVE, its such a solid move to use and is highly effective.
Rampage as One Is a pretty good Elite Skill as well and Spirit of Nature is one of the best support skills in the game, Just because it heals and you can revive players by a click of a button, Not only that but when your trait level is up so it follows you, Try and kill someone on my team, I dare you.
I love Traps in this game, In GW1 traps were more of an issue than a solution in battle.
I especially love how strategic all traps are, depending on which I have equipped, my other utility skills change as well.
I do agree that the spirits should give a better boon or condition as well, not only a “chance” to receive it, which is pretty silly if you ask me, and the chance of getting someting from a spirit, is sometimes woo low. They definetly need to nerd them, AND they should be able to walk with you all the time, JUST because atm, in PVE setting they seem very unnessecary before getting the trait which makes it possible for you to get them following you.
