band wagon kitten ding dongs , even before SOR exploited an an hacked as much as JQ and the dinglings guilds that follow as if they thought it was them the solo importance of one guilds that made difference,. besides all the zploits an hax ,. your all fights mean absolutely zero , nothing g worth mentioning ,.

I need about 6 more beers before I can make sense of this post………..

After 2000hours of decoding using NASA computers , the computer made a startling translation. Here it is

My dong is small and I really dislike JQ and SoR

Dear Nex, we hear at Anet take your questions very seriously. We have 7 individuals working on the elementalists right now and here are some of our answers on your
questions.

1.) Was mist form intended to be nerfed? (You now can be CC’d during it by condis like fear AFTER going into it)

• We are planning on extending the duration of mistform to 15 seconds with a reuse timer of 5 seconds. This will balance ele’s with thieves as we have heard players do not know how use shocking auras effectively.

• We are currently working on fixing the Mistform glitch. We will keep you posted shortly

1a.) Will you change it back to its original form?

• See above.

2.) Are any foreseeable buffs coming to elementalist traits? Many feel previous nerfs left the class unplayable.

• Yes, our team of 7 are just focusing on buffs.

2a.) Once in for all, will you buff RTL to a better cool down?

• 100%. We intend to extend RTL to 6000 units because we believe the spell line called “ride the lightning” should really reflect that, and as such we adding a saddle to the lightning wave which will now bring you forward 6000 units as you ride that lightning flash and can be re-used every 10 seconds.

3.) Will you be changing cumbersome or pointless skills like fire grab and dragon’s tooth?

• Yes we are replacing firegrab with firekaboom which is a 360 radius 2000 unit 10,000 damage spell. As for dragon’s tooth , it is working as intended , meaning anyone dumb enough to stand under one, should get hit under one.

4.) Are there any plans to change GoEP from stunbreak and place it anywhere else? I have seen zero elementalists use it.

• We are working on it.

5.) In a new condition meta, do you see yourselves helping elementalists fit in? We currently don’t 100% fit in, as this forum would tell you.

• We are unsure about what is asked here. Rest assured, whatever it is , we are working on it!

6.) Are elementalists a priority for post PAX changes?

• We are unsure of your question unless you mean PAX which means kiss of peace. Sorry , we at Anet are not in the business of kissing. Perhaps you could call the closest escort service to your house.

— Additional questions

7.) Will conjure weapons be looked or changed?

• Yes we are replacing them with light sabers.

7a.) Will we be able to use conjure skills under water in the future?

• If light sabers work in water so will these.

Thank You for your questions

Regards,

Anet – The Onion Division

Dear Anet, you have less than a year before ESO gets released. May want to double your WvW efforts starting yesterday. And if you have done so, congrats. Dont blow it like Mythic.

-Your Fan.

Thank you for not resetting. Please keep this up.

Hugs, from your fanbase.

It was fun at first but now its killing the roaming community as well. Maps are getting quiet in t1.

I really hope this quiets down during sunday

They are releasing a TP gem item that allows you to kick players from grps. Watch out for may28th patch.

Hi, Im a Nigerian king. If you send me 2000gold i will give you 3 secret gold farming locations that guarantee 600gold per hour.

Happy April Fools everyone

Until today, Devon is away.
I wonder where so i searched Bay.
Even Garry the next day.

The main problem with stealth is unlike other MMOs, you can remain in stealth while your Condi damage ticks.

Happy April Fools day

Dear Viperwire, We here at the-onion division of Anet wish to answer your questions

Culling

—> Adding new features including upgrades

Dynamic event credit reward

—> You currently get Karma
—> You currently get Gold
—> Possible addition of tittle system in the future

Dolyak guard npcs not efficient/effective

—> Dolyak guards are as per designed; Dumb, stupid and low ranking guardsmen
—> We are thinking of adding rocket missiles to Dolyaks. Pew Pew

Siege blueprints being soulbound but still able to transfer between characters (seems like 2 people in the same department disagreed on this solution which is why we can trade the blueprints by dropping them but yet they are “soulbound”)

—> Sorry this is a bug and we will fix this soon

Bigger or new map(s)

—> You pay zero subscriptions so please do not complain.
—> Dx11.1 based graphics including a brand new Map is in the pipeline

Rework npcs such as Grub/Champion Tree/Mosquito event/Quaggan/Temple

—> Working as intended

The water in the Borderlands that every single person hates

—> How dare you tell us to remove a feature we spent half our time on?!

Is the “glitch” where the waypoint is available for 1-3 seconds after Repel Enemies event going to be “resolved” with this patch or is that still a method we can use to reinforce falling Keeps

—> Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will be making changes and will keep you posted soon!

Is Outmanned buff going to receive an update? We all know how pointless that buff is and HAVE known since release of this game 5months+ ago

—> We Want to discourage WvW, and instead recomend you try s/tPvP so that we can become the e-sports of the decade.

Will Orbs come back? If not what are we doing to replace them? WvW has become even more stale since the removal

—> We will introduce orbs again after further testing of current geometrical updates of maps

ADD THE OPTION IN REPORT FOR HACKING/EXPLOITING PLEASE

—> This feature already exist.

Resolve current queue issues that have recently been reported but have not been addressed recently

—> one of our employees missed out a zero on the population cap of total players.
—> We will give a public explanation soon.

Current WvW titles are far out of the limit of many if not everyone who plays GW2, all kittentalk aside nobody can rack up one of those titles in 6 months – 1 year unless 24/7 focused on that single title

—> We are reworking tittles. We will keep you posted !

Guild claiming currently has no purpose unless to activate guild buffs when under attack, why can we not see who claimed the location and or have additional options upon claiming a Keep/Tower/Camp

—> We are working on this.

Additional rewarded loot for killing enemy commanders (and/or higher loot table)

—>To obtain additional reward, stand on said kill and type laugh to receive an extra 100 Badges

Invulnerable zones/anti camping zones that reach into supply camps in the Borderlands (These are not a big issue by any means, but lots of people are ….. and believe this is hacking/exploiting and I’m sure that’s racking up the bug reports/paperwork, would be efficient to remove so that frees up time for whomever has to read all those support tickets)

—> We consider that exploiting. Please report so that we may investigate.

Address siege locations that “cannot be countered”, remove or maybe even add more

—> This is a bug. Please report it so that we can fix it soon!

More high ground/cliffs everywhere, Borderlands and Eternal

—> Sorry, but this is not called Parachute wars. Our hills are already quite high.

Incentives for WvW both for guilds and for players (The virtual score that may or may not get reset has no bearing on if my guild is in WvW, rather if we feel like doing pvp together we go into WvW, which is always . But we are not an entire server and at many times servers lose even when there is enough active population, but not enough actually in WvW due to score and/or seeing a map 100% another color or the fact that there have been literally no incentives to WvW (other than PvE world bonus maybe? I personally don’t believe anyone has seriously considered those that valuable enough for PvE players to get into WvW.

—> That was one motherload of a question. Could you break them up ?

Thanks,
The-onion division at Anet

Pre-Beta GW2 – WvWvW would be a massive focus
2+yrs later – WvWvW has a team of 1 dedicated dev

Lesson to raw and lee.

When you decide on something so drastic, for the love of God, kitten ask your Guildmates first, even atleast for a few days before.

All respect to the 83% of the EMP that stayed. Respect to oxy. Also, if any member from DB wants to come back, we luv you, and wholeheartedly accept you back, that includes lee. But rawnoodles. Well Im not really sure if i want to see him again.

I swear it doesnt feel like 1 year though. Its like just yesterday when Beta weekend was here and we were noobishly taking SM with swords,magic and pistols.

Congrats ANet. Well done, may year 2 bring greater joy for WvW

If its all 24 servers, i guarantee you will make the community very happy. But you may also take away some of the roamers from the low pop maps. On a pro vs con , it would seem the 24 server world would be better.

oh wow another promise to work on wvw. /excited.

Enjoy

AndrewSX.3794:

Excalibur.9748:

They seem to be put together by some tPvP guys who thinks they have a good grasp of the current meta but really don’t understand how some of the other classes they haven’t played, really works. And it’s plainly obvious WvW and PvE wasn’t even in consideration for any of these changes.

Just saying, isn’t that how are made the balance changes already?

/sarcasm

LOL

This is how i envision balancing by anet hahahhha

pot.6805:

Were all 90 of you in a mega zerg ball or did you split up?

We all used our power rangers ability and became the megazord

The Mexican Cookie.3690:

bla.2971:

In comparing T1 to world powers. JQ is like USA, BG is like China, and SoR is pretty much North Korea(the country no one cares about, yet wants to feel important, but their not.

I think New Zealand is a better country for JQ. Lots of sheep.

The bible says beware of wolves in sheep’s skins

Rawnoodles.1398:

WoW SoR!

Just checked the T1 forums and scoring, did not expect that to happen. Hope you guys reach the gold this week. You guys worked hard for it.

Be seeing you guys soon.

RE TEAM

It is now confirmed his more delusional than what most thought.

Anet “Unfixing things since 1872”

No point getting angry. There is nothing u can replace WvWvW with right now. Folks from ESO have come back with bad reviews of it. Wildstar is not a DAOC replacement.

The only thing is when CU comes out and it allows casual players to enjoy 3 sided warfare then we shall see.

JQ and SoR will be back soon to teach Blackwagon

Cool post.

I would like a large monster in the middle to kill. Like just put justin beiber there?

Nade exploit is stupid

So after numerous threads , Anet will maintain their position on the tempest build and will refuse to rebuild it from the ground up.

So let us be honest, its BWE3. Very minor changes will only be made. And thats the best case scenario.

Oh well atleast dnd is still viable

OP is right. Other games , even intensive dx11 crysis 2 runs smoothly vs gw2

1.Warriors
2.Guardians
3.Thieves
4.Ele
5.Rangers
6.Mesmer
7.Engie
8.Necro
9.Rawnoodles

The reason why folks complain about the RTL nerf is that it was hit with 3 nerfs , 1 was the distance, 2 was the cooldown and 3 was the effect of gravity on the skill that made it feel like ride the rock.

Leave the distance, but hit it with 2 and 3, but all the nerfs combined was uncalled for.

Good match tonight. =)

MORE INFO FROM ANET

From Reddit : More Info

• anet_samuel 45 points 6 hours ago
  Just to clarify: the changes that are coming are on which population level each server has. The transfer price per population level (Medium, High, Very High, etc.) will stay the same.

EzJester 19 points 6 hours ago
I think I’m re-confused. What determines population for a server is going to be WvW data ONLY now (which may cause some servers to change population tiers.). The price to move to each population tier is unchanged. Right?
permalinksaveparentreportgive goldreply

• anet_samuel 25 points 6 hours ago
  Correct.

[–]Lksaar[Nix] on MS/[FNG] on YB 6 points 6 hours ago
Will this be a weekly average or changes based on how many ppl are currently playing/logged in?

• anet_samuel 25 points 6 hours ago
  The new method isn’t based on players currently playing or logged in. It looks at the active WvW population over a period of time.

[–]Lksaar[Nix] on MS/[FNG] on YB 5 points 6 hours ago
Is thatperiod of time timezone agnostic (a whole day?) or even matchup agnostic (more than a week?)

• anet_samuel 29 points 6 hours ago
  It looks at a period long enough to smooth out rapidly changing artifacts like timezones or matchups.

[–]SmellySushi 1 point 4 hours ago
What happens when a server “blackout” or “Hibernates” for an extended period of time to stack more players onto it?

• anet_samuel 10 points 3 hours ago
  Some servers will get their population level increased, some will have it decrease. I don’t want to get into too many details before the change is release, because I don’t want to trigger mass-migrations now. People can be weird.
  No, EotM won’t be counted towards WvW. I don’t think it’s the same experience, and you can always enter it since it can have as many instances as needed, so there’s really not that same population problem as in “core” WvW.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/3eh64z/changes_coming_to_transfer_cost_calculations/

name me a current game with better WvWvW and combat than gw2. At this moment none.
unless you count DAoC which doesnt cut it for me anymore.

So here we are again.

Anet is making huge profits from GW2 CN in terms of royalties
They have dumped incredible resources into sPvP
They make a lot of the gem store.
PvE makes good revenue and keeps the PvE players happy
So the crumbs go to WvWvW. But dont give up hope.(Moderated)

Lower your expectations a little bit.

DevonCarver.5370:

WvW Match resets are not the same thing as new builds. We’ll have some updates to arrow carts to share with you when the next build comes through.

Sweet. Hope next build also un-nerfs my ele RTL

This league system is a very bad idea.

It really seems that Anet likes to break what is not broken.

Roaming POV from mes + NC gf

Even mesmers are now worried that PU mesmers are giving the class a bad name.

Im sure they are on the chopping board for nerfs.
