Guild Wars 2

Hot join for me was the fun part of GW2, I never started story lines, “farm legendaries” or anything to do with PvE in general. This was my 50% of my daily gaming time in this one particular mode. In addition, I do not have patience to wait in queue. Warframe have my 100% gaming time now, sorry GW2 i’ll just come on for login rewards then.

Thieves are just stupidly over powered class when there is no counter to them having infinite stealth options with escape options given from divine beings (ANET loves boring warriors and thieves), along with explosive damage outcome. Where is the nerfs? Oh wait its ANET…

Balancing is annoying and the system can be abused to farm for gold and reward tracks. Just simply get out of losing team and force team balance, instant swap to winning team ANET did a good job adding the feature.

Put some toughness and you might not melt as quick as butter.

PvE heroes should earn their skins such as legendary in PvP. All the players that are exclusively playing PvP gets nothing. As of now I spent a nice chunk of time got to rank 57 pre patch and in return now I have to spend transmutation charges to even put a piece of skin on.

Try tank condition builds, its like counter to thieves to a certain extent.

This have been happening since the release day of the 4/15 update it just wants to get stuck when it wants to.

If only PvP gets me legendary at level 80.

Ralkuth.1456:

Go to wardrobe and you can use the skins you previously unlocked in PvP to put onto PvE equipment. The equipment can be starter level 14 greens and it will be fine.
Clicking on the armor piece in wardrobe will bring you a list of unlocked skins. All the stuff in locker and on your person will be there.

Simply use a charge to change equipment look. You get a stone for each rank you have (after conversion, so r46->patch->r54 I get 54 charges.).

Yeah it means you have to keep playing and ranking up to change the looks.

I’m ok with the change it just means I’ll have to keep a set of PvP gear in my bag when I joyride in Pve.

The gear section for PvP should allow for faster changes (no longer needed to put on 6 runes, and sigils separately).

It’s all good. Embrace the change…

I only do PvP and barely did PvE so people that only does PvP suffers, we embrace more pain than what the patch have to offer.

Go buy the pieces at the armor vendor

it seems that I am rank 80 but all the skins that were unlockables post patch don’t seem to unlock

Forsaker.9213:

LISTEN , GO TO ARMOR/WEPON VENDOR , BUY BASIC STUFF , THEN U CAN TRANSMUTE TO YOUR OLD SKINS

That’s basically paying a charge for a something you only use in PvP

So I heard the Mesmers in sPvP top teams (in EU scene) are moving to Necromancers. Mesmers continues to get nerfed, what is wrong with ANET?

Galtrix.7369:

Prepare yourselves: The nerfs are coming.

But in all seriousness, Anet tends to have selective hearing when it comes to balancing classes. Ranger and Engineer get ignored, Elementalist and Mesmer continually get nerfed, Warrior, Guardian, and Thief are the only somewhat balanced classes in the game, and Necromancer’s got a one time buff (I think).

When someone complained that Thieves were op, Anet was quick to pull out the nerf hammer and swipe away at anything the players said were op.

Yet, when my Ranger is completely ignored every single patch and I write dozens of posts about the Ranger being underpowered, (I’m not alone here, there are literally hundreds if not thousands of underpowered Ranger posts in the forums), Anet does not hear any of us.

So if I were you, I wouldn’t use the words “Necro” and “OP” in the same sentence, because Anet may swipe at you with their hammer of nerfs.

Agreed, ANET buff things that are never used, and they nerf classes like Elementalist and Mesmers that can’t use the changes. Rangers are starting to get their buffs soon after half a year. My Mesmer/Necro gets destroyed now in SPvP from infinite stealth Thieves, and rush down Warriors with retaliation, so only way to save myself is run into my team to attempt to get them off me.

Cares Less.9631:

Good luck waiting for that…

Don’t worry…like I said I have already stopped playing this game except for pvp dailies, so for me I really don’t mind, all I do is pvp anyways so noob bashing is not too difficult.

People moan and cry too much about Mesmer being too powerful. I stop playing after several nerfed stages playing Mesmer in pvp, along with extreme buffs to Thieves. I’ll return after Mesmer gets their buff.

This was answered during one of the State of the Game with the devs on March 14, 2013 for why healers are left out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCUvIrH2BlU
Around 1:18:00 or so during the discussions.

Personally if your Mesmer and a support build then I recommend a build that does semi conditions and cleansing tank more over healing mass amount but, healing Mesmer can’t contribute as much as an Elementalist in most cases.

Aros.6794:

I can’t understand why custom arenas continues to give glory , i mean you should be able to get glory and ranks only with tournamets not with custom arenas that i suppose to be a training place.
Ps sorry for my english.

Custom arenas are also part server browser so it gives glory and experience points.

Hexs.8015:

I just came out of a tourny game where we gave up majority of map buffs to the enemy and lost. My party immediately blamed our loss on our comp having 2 thieves. I asked why, they said " i don’t know but its usually the reason" .

Thieves offer easy stomps, spike dmg and great roaming. Thieves imo are one of the stronger classes. Yet people consistently blame losses on the group composition having 2 thieves.

Why is this? I get that thieves can’t bunker bases, but I don’t see most people hold bases down all game long unless the specifically build for that task.

Team Curse uses 2 thieves comp they seem to do well (maybe too well).

Marduh.4603:

Destroy all your clones and phantasms, damaging nearby foes. This attack cannot critically hit enemies.
Damage: 244
Damage (2x): 378
Damage (3x): 492
Range: 1,200

But without heal, because already little cd.

Antiboon prety cool meta.
Go go go Antioneshot and antipet meta.

What your asking is to remove the Mesmer completely off the game like what happen to the Rangers. Anet already broke the spirit build during beta, they are not going that far to break another build after that lesson.

Luthan.5236:

Hotjoin is boring. tPvP you need to wait for your favorite maps…
-> This pretty much makes sPvP boring if you only think tournaments are fun because the leaving and hotjoining in hotjoin is not creating fun matches.

You can’t play it every day and need to wait for the maps you want to play and if there’s another map stop playing for a few days.

But who cares about hotjoin… lol. The Custom Arenas are fail. I don’t think the’ll sell that many. Maybe guilds that use it with the “ready button” setting. But other’s don’t need it – and for dueling you shouldn’t pay. And with hotjoin only mechanics it is boring.

Personally, i only play sPvP which was the only reason i bought the game during its beta phases. And if this game is going for the “esports” scene then we need more player that actually plays than just afk and spectating.

Im sure Anet will find a way to actually cut down the server list to actually plug in a dueling arena system that separate from regular team hot joins. Or we just continuing to see people saying “We are dueling, please leave” (what they really are saying is “Dueling here. Leave we are inferior than you, we don’t give a ****!”).

We get 3 shot by Thieves still, we getting that nerf, and tank Mesmers does not work.

O.o whose “we”?

I’m a little upset there were no changes, but then again unlike the other profs I play I do not see any bugs with Mesmer shrugs

PS: scepter auto isn’t a -bug- it was a nerf from beta and the text wasn’t changed to reflect it.

To be specific this is coming from a sPvP background, as for “we” its also the pvp community.

Not sure if your advertisement is actually going save its current state lol.

We get 3 shot by Thieves still, we getting that nerf, and tank Mesmers does not work.

Since the update for the SPvP system was released the servers now are either full or just none existence for Hot Join(the server browser) in general. Right now it is very hard to find a room of 8v8 at any given time with or without the filters because there is more spectators/afkers then anything else. And WHOLE lot of duelers who can’t make their own servers is also not fun to walk into.

At this moment mesmers are getting hit hard in spvp, they’re too “squishy vs players that know what they are doing” to withstand high dps at this moment. And building tank will not get any glory points unless its a “winning group fight”. If any players here play spvp stick in large groups to never die.

When other player(s) on a team is to place a target I would get spammed by the game itself 3 times of the same line of [Player] has targeted [Player]. I have no idea how to fix this, this only occurs when the team option in the chat panel is checked.

Second timer for a cool down after a skill have been placed that have an secondary usage, such as Mesmer’s portal in my case. After placing it down I have no idea when it expires or sometimes too late to use the portal.

Trying to help a friend out by trying to sell this Maul, its currently 47 gold 50 silvers. If anybody can buy it off his hands it will make him very happy.

Wait, so it is the female hair that is on the advertisement?

Okay, just got this from the store hoping there is the new hair for my Asura, and find out there is no new hair. Is this a bug? or am I totally not seeing it?

After you play Legacy of the Foefire you lose that animation and from what just happen to me, now when I am in that specific map they have no animation at all.

Spotted another person with the PvP Guild Circlet, no idea how to obtain though.

I don’t understand the whining from so many, Moa Morph is 180 seconds cool down, usually used 0-3 time(s) per match if the Mesmer have the “chance” to cast it. Other than that, Warriors Hundred Blade combo that can be casted every 40 seconds hitting 5k-13k, it is over powered and no balancing. Yet we want balance on Moa Morph to be done with their defensive/offensive ability that is only up every 180 seconds!. Try looking at a Mesmer’s perspective before trying to “nerf” the skill as a whole.

My Point Of View – I’ve only used Moa Morph for defensive purposes, using for offensive is just a waste of the elite entirely because you may get killed before you can try to kill off that Moa. Mesmer’s take so much damage, they don’t usually put alot of points into toughness/vitality because of the ability Mesmers get back from the traits in return are not too beneficial.

Are the set obtained by reward chests or created with mystic forge? Seen some people with the PvP Circlet already, which I really wanted. Hopefully I can get the recipe to make them.

Premade teams usually dominates the playing field (at leasy the good teams) of tournament mode with strategies and team communication. Can there be some changes between casual players not facing an entire full team? just a suggestion.

Maybe if players can stop their urge to solo 1v1 of either Thief/Mesmer this topic would not exist. They are independently strong like most classes build around DPS for quick secure on kills. But they are top priority to get focused on in team fights 75%+ of times I have experienced because they can take down important units quick and vice versa. So if you fight in a team, Mesmer/Thieves are already nerfed in my opinion.

I’ve seen some players with the PvP Guild items, such as the PvP Guild Circlet I have spotted somebody having in the PvP lobby. Is there a way to get it or craft it?
