Guild Wars 2

Ok Anet now I have seen the SPVP bonus when you have your tournaments, but for kitten sake why don’t we think outside the box and maybe at random or during season’s(if there will be a season’s) have a WVW Buff, something similar to WVW XP or a Celebration booster???? You guys TBH are thinking all wrong WVW is the endgame, point, blank period, not SPVP.

Having the same problem, RIP ANET GG

Ok Anet I am thinking you forgot to make the recipe available for the Superior Rune for Revenant, because if you didn’t all I have to say is WOW…….

Ok is it just me or did Anet Screw the pooch on the Revenant Runes? I know its been a week(give or take a day or so) but for kitten sake.. Anet do us Revenent players a solid and give us a kittening hint about the runes!!!

Yea I saw the recipe for the rune of the Herald under the Achievement Tab, as well as with the Mistward Armor s hunt. But you automatically get those when you unlock the Herald. My question is where is the recipe to make the rune of the Revenant?

k maybe I missed it or am just functionally kittened(jury still out) but has anyone figured out how to unlock or find the recipe for the Superior Rune of Revenant. I unlocked Herald the day before Anet lowered the Points so I can make a Herald Rune, however I need a Revenant Rune to upgrade it. An thoughts, thanks guys and gals..

Terra are you serious did you read what u said. No of course not just saying would be nice to use my left over rank points towards something other than collecting dust. Sounds like coming from someone not above rank 100. So hey there you go didn’t anet just lower the ranks to make it easier for the fair weathers to max everything out??

Um besides Anet removing guard buffs they are lowering certain traits to need less ranks to max it out. I already have an over abundance of non used rank points after maxing everything out to allow casuals to max things out faster.

1 This please Anet take a look at this before launch. For one i’m around rank 2800 and that has taken me since about 3 months into the game til present, and that’s 95% in regular WVW maps and not in EOTM.

INC!Druid full celestial/exuberance runes

Anyone see anything or think Celestial/Exuberance inc. for druid spec?

Ok so what you are saying and sorry im going to be blunt is that you just came back and want to be on the same level as people that have spent months and a lot of gold to get their gear? I am going to say for 1 stop being selfish. It is no ones fault you took time off to deal with Real Life or play other games. We all do that but for the people that has worked/farmed their butts off to get what they want and for you to say hey I want it now! That im sorry isn’t fair. This game already catters (imo) to casuals way to much. But yea there are ways to get your ascended gear now. Just spend the gold…..

Ok guys, gals, imps and goblins lets get this started about what we would like to see added or changed about the Revenant. Please lets keep this less trollish and more positive feedback so Anet will actually take some of the ideas under consideration. Ok so far the DPS is lackluster. I do enjoy the staff, it adds a different playing style and support but I would like to see a blast finisher on it. I think the #4 skill on staff would be a good blast finisher with the animation. The Ventari Heal Tablet TBH is very tiring in WVW and SPVP when u are spending a lot of your time micro managing that little thing by moving it. Maybe change it to move with you give it a simple AI or something. I am looking forward to seeing what other peoples thoughts are.

So if Anet releases games 2 months prior, then are we going to look at the Pre-Puchase as a 2 month heads up?

Celwina.2598:
I can’t wait until Grenadier is fixed and brought back in early September.

Yup traits will be fixed September, HoT released by Christmas 2015/2016? BTW before all the qquing happened about nerf this/ OP this, why couldnt we just let the dust settle enjoy EVERYTHING the classes got some more than others but all the classes got some really nice buffs. Now with all the complaining and such we will be back to the old META in no time.

All I know is IF Anet does anything to it as in a buff it will probably take 2-3 months, but what really gets me is the nerf’s come faster than the buff’s.

Um i beg to differ. Minr its a GM and there are much more powerful Aoe healing going on then the mesmer. Nerf or alter Vampiric Aura instead of Healing Prism. Or ake it Vamp Aura doesnt work on it, not that hard to do. I wouldnt mind if it was set at 150 healing with no cd but tbh its not nearly a game changer like ALOT of other traits, but it definately didn’t warrant that kind of nerf.

Well here we are almost a week after patch and from what I have saw since then was fixing skills and traits to what their supposed to do, but the only nerf’s so far was 4 of them targeted at *rum roll please MESMER! Thank you Anet I think we need to come up with awards each year and I would say the Nerf Bat Award goes to Mesmer.

So far the only nerf I am disappointed in is the Healing Prism nerf. I uderstand it sync’d very well with other class skills and it gave a mesmer more of a support role, instead of a Veil or Portal bot. And tbh with sigil of blood and food with the old healing Prism proc you heal 5 ppl 300ish with no healing power ever second. That is not a game changer what so ever to nerf the skill to 500 healing every 10s. Honestly Anet you should have let the dust settle before not even a week into the patch to nerf it. I for one hope they change it back to what it was or lower to cd to 2s at the original healing of 300.

Lol good answer. Mesmer Healing Prism isnt the problem. But hopefully they will actually take time to look at this post instead of scanning them. But either way the Trait did not need to be nerfed as much as it was. Maybe a 2s ICD with how it was or 3s but 2s is pushing it. Anet please stop listening to the people that dont WVW 24/7. Listen to the population that actually makes this possible.

Thank you Anet for nerfing Healing Prism. It synegizes(sp) well with necros and food but it wasnt a game changer. Nowwe move to engi’s 9 grenade spam. You chose to nerf something that healed at the most 400 with max healing every second on 5 TARGETS! Engi nade spam 25 stacks of condi but we all know Anet loves condi’s. Anet change Healing Prism back to no CD with 500 healing thne we will be worth something, instead of resistance/super speed veil bot again. For all those trolls find another topic and move out of ur parents house..

@Dancingmonkey thanks went 1 day without someone trolling. Anywho yes it was a stress test but beta characters and beta button the create the character. Anywho glad to see the trolls are still around. Also maybe you could have said what you had to say in a non trollish way but anywho cya

TBH the beta is fun. For those having issues using mushrooms or glider(also controlling it) first off u need to put mastery points and the glider hold the right button down on mouse turns perfectly. FPS drop yea, but only about 10-20% and no matter what your gonna have FPS drop, also I am used to playing WVW and this is on the highest settings. Yea Anet not sure if you meant for 1 heal on 1 legendary then legendary swap poof instant heal ready to use. The CD’s are about where they should be but maybe increase some of the actions on the weapons, way to telegraphed. Also playing the second session to see how the server handles from earlier today and there is no lag what so ever from both sessions.

Ok Anet this is ridiculous…. You gave us a couple weeks of HoT info but then silence…. This isn’t cool, either give us something about HoT or something. At this point since you announced the Hot expansion you gave us 2-3 weeks of info then back to normal crap. I know you can’t tell us anything about the release but holy crap PVP singles rewards? Keep the information coming or just back the f off the release information. Your not doing anyone any favors/games about anything when you say hey we are releasing an expansion then give us 3 weeks of info (which I ave to say alot of it is redone said said in past releases). I know your banking of China’s money, but for you first release customer I think as a whole we deserve something. I know a Dev will look at this and think(troll) but you say we are the best community in all MMO’s but that can actually go so far. People would like more information and all you are doing in the long run in hurting you. Yea people will come back and play a little while but then leave thats about it. This is a game granted but for me and alot of people its a time when we get to relax without family and chill but we have been playing for 2+ years without anything tbh. LS good but alot of us are from GW1 we expect more. Give us something. PVP=meh since you annoucended the expansion. We are playing tbh to just pass the time til expansion but you might just lose the core group that made you who you are today. Thank you…

My guess is we should hear something regarding an announcement or two at the upcoming events. It would be a waste if ANET didn’t use the free press to take advantage of it. That should refuel the hype train if your out of fuel.

Ok to all who are jumping to conclusions. If you read the announcement regarding the closed beta testing you do not have to sign an NDA, so you can freely talk about your experience. Granted this is different from beta testing EOTM, that me and my guildies signed and filled out a form/questionare. For those that get the invite I will be the first to say GRATS and have fun and I look forward to the posts regarding your input.

Hey Anet not sure if this is the right place, but last year you had or attempted to add new weapons per class and new legendaries to the game. Well it has been a year since you made the announcement, well actually more than a year since you have made the announcement. I am not sure it was more like a wish list or what, but since I have seen the opening of the china division of gw2 and tbh you guys have shown more interest or more hands on on posting in various posts, I would like to know if you guys are plannign to add more weapons per class and legendaries? My hope is this doesnt turn into the dozens of troll threads that has become GW2. But I can probably speak for the commpunity is that we would like to see them implemented before the new year or at least something regarding them. Thank s guys, I would like to say in the recent past you are paying attention(somewhat) or at least communicating more than in the past. But please feel free to let us know what you have intended in the future for gw2 because I have played since BETA and I am kinda bored now I have spvp’d and am a heavy wvwer and I played GW1 for 7 years so I don’t want my hard work as well as other peoples hard work to get stale. Thanks again….

LOL for the people saying thieves are left behind due to nerfs are correct. Rangers took their place. I am glad rangers got what they needed but anet needs to bring back the original Dev team that made GW1 so good and the team that deals with GW2 go to Wildstar or work on another project please…

I don’t know about you guys but I have not seen a single Dev on JQ. But I have seen 10 on BG and 5 on TC. LOL who cares though their like a beacon and used for cattle fodder anywho. But this will tell you that not only regular players stack a server, Devs do also. GJ guys..

Hey Geiir just to let you know changed to the Trap Rune condi setup and it is pretty effective in WVW, havent tried it in SPVP yest getting down the rotations but I would say it would be viable also.

BWHAHAAHH such a troll build I love it! I have gotten so many invites to party and so much qqing! I bet in no time we will be called the next PU build lol…

Anyone else having a bugged torment? Im sitting at 1900 condi damage with 70% uration and my ticks for torment is about 200-300 per tick not moving on anyone for 8 1/2 seconds. I could have sworn it should be ticking a little higher. Nevermind math was wrong.

Yea unfortunality S/D was nerfed to much well sword was so we r looking at new metas for thieves atm since the main spvp build was nerfed. But in the mean time you could go d/p and sb.

Lol ok I love my thief and always will, but I have to say it ranger got the buffs they needed, they have been the red headed step child alot. All classes have been nerfed/buffed(well except thief) but that is besides the point, thief always bounces back really good. I am glad ranger got it, and just wait the “shiney new toy” iwll go away you see an influx of rangers because tbh the people that roll a ranger because of the buff are baddies and it takes a lil more skill to down them but you do. But the ones that have mained ranger since launch well thats a diff story. Its just the pretty much nerfe across the board(except ranger of course). So think of it like this, Rangers takes 3 steps forward and the other classes take from anywhere 1-3 steps backwards. I dont know but I think anet shouldnt take anything away form ranger bufff honestly look at alot of the other classes and figure out what their end game is…

I have to say that this is the first time in a LONG TIME that I haven’t seen any updates for SPVP or WVW builds, which normally get updated about 1-3 days after ANY PATCH. I think anet pulled off a global implosion of alot of classes. I have to give it to them though that if their trying to get us to think outside the box then they pulled that crap off without a doubt… Some build really havent changed but some classes have changed ALOT.. WhatI have seen and read is its trial by error and see what works and doesn’t but maybe Devs need to be ingame playing and see what people are qqing about instead of taking a back seat and trying to figure it out. I know no Devs really look at this but I hope they see the positive and negatives in general and hit us with another patch before 6 months, because if that happenes alot of people will be leaving more than usual, instead of the people that get this game for their bday or xmas. because TBH the people that play competatively need to be taken serious due to the fact they are the ones that comes up with the builds we all love and use….. Thanks for reading through my rambling..

Um bro tbh try the thief but try all weapon sets and combos and see what is best for your playing style but atm thief is broken. Sword isnt the same and d/p is a little different but iam playing around with a pp, p/d power build which is doing well but it is a TOTALLY DIFFERENT playing style for a thief.

@Yelloweyedemon what we are saying since you havent played a thief is that to get those troll people and outrageous backstabs, it takes combos to get close and hit you in the best spot possible and to get the same numbers for a ranger(which I played for 1 year before patch) is way much easier and you stay at 1500 range. I am not saying ranger needed these buffs GREATLY but with that said they didn’t just nerf the d/p blindness which it might have needed but also they decided not to listen to the community(which they say they do) and nerfed sword in a way to be pretty much useless. It was great in SPVP, but some use it in WVW. If they wanted to change it then they could have went about it a different way and the whole blindness thing to stealth it takes initiative to get 10s stealth and that is either you die or we do because when we get revealed we dead if we dont kill you or get you on the ropes and then maybe we as thieves can close the gap to ranged toons. And tbh anet has tried to monkey fix the bugs but they dont fix it completly. I know its probably due to the exploits that people used to get into keeps without breaking walls and such and you know the saying (1 bad apple spoils the bunch) But honestly since the patch release I still enjoy my thief over any toons and I am on JQ so I am dealing CONSTANTLY with 50 man zergs and 2-3 roaming parties so it sucks more than being on T2 servers(thief wise) Ok guys sorry for the long response but if you havent played all classes for any period of time please try the class and then repond or dont respond at all thank you…

Its not just PVP its WVW as well. I dont mind getting outplayed, if I get outplayed thats one thing, but I learn from my mistakes and thats what makes you better, but not because of either exploits or bugs/glitches..

@ Atlas you must main a Ranger… Enough said…

Well I have definately seen a drop in the thief population… Sad day I have never seen this before, even the pioneer thieves have shelffed their thief, but have seen a tremendous increase of ranger population. Ranger wasn’t truly horrible, the people that played them normally had skill to play them and did very well, now the rangers are all LB and GS or S/WH for easy mode pew pew dead. Don’t get me wrong Rangers needed a good buff and they got a pretty good one at that. But GG Anet for pretty much killing the thief population, but I guess that is what they have been doing but this more was blatant and ballsy. Not saying this will even matter because no Dev looks at these just moderators. For the people that are going to troll this thread, for one make a thief and see how hard and skill it takes to pull out these combos, compared to anyother class, well except Ele. It isn’t just the nerfs, its all the stealing and teleport bugs that came with the patch and Anet is just Monkey fixing it. TBH they need to listen to the Top PVP players(which will never happen) from ALL CLASSES to fix the game, because the slow leak of people that stop playing this game will turn into fast moving rapids…

Ok so how many Devs do you actually see in wvw? 1-2 and that was because of the patch and tbh thats all when I ever see Devs. So what their doing is listening to the PVE community on nerfing stuff not the people that actually make these builds that play competative. You will either see condi heavy thieves which I have seen or try to get used to D/P

For all those people complaining and I haven’t seen a single thread on thieves on page 1 so here we go. Thieves got nothing except the dagger 2 target “cleave”, which necro got. Other than that Sword/Dagger nerfed, Dagger/Pistol nerfed, I could go on and on and on, but I won’t, but all I can say is ANET needs to do something about nerfing certain classes and at the same time Buffing the crap out of others. I know it takes anet a while to get things actually right but by no means is anet listening to the right people. And what I mean the “right” people is the competative side, not the people that play once and a while and get rekt all the time because they dont know their class and they was an easy skill cap class and the competative are the people that actually come out with the builds we all use and enjoy. It is either feast or famine I am realizing, there is no happy median. If ANET doesnt do something quick them people will be leaving GW2 in droves, not to say that isnt already happening…..

@ Black Teagan, huh? Um I beg to differ. Like I said before the baddies will be baddies and go to other classes, Its just going to make for a larger skill play , If I wanted easy I would go back to my warrior or even my Ranger lol, or Mesmer but I like a challenge…

Ok BP useless now? One word “Nope”.. It is by all means not useless, however that being said it definately(sp?) makes for a better challenge. Yes the Blindness has pretty much been cut in half, but it still pulses and what does that mean for the BP spammers? It eans to play a little more defensively maybe be a little tankier than full zerktard. I played a thief off and on since launch and yes thief has gotten the crap beat out of it with the nerf bat, but so has mesmer up until this patch, so is thief OP still? Yes if played right but all this is gonna do is alot of the baddie thieves that were baddies to begin with will bounce to Ranger or Mesmer and the great thieves will adapt and overcome. And all about the S/D build you might have to change ur build a little I was playing with Blinding Powder then hitting sword FS then LS and 9/10 times they would hit so did we get nerfed? Your kitten straight but keep your heads up guys.

All I have to say is WOW Anet GG…. I hope this wasn’t intentional but if it was 3 patches ago then I guess it was. Any suggestions to skill play rotation for me then?

@ Bandicoot My bad didn’t mean to insult you in anyway shape or form, just irritated, because I wanted to learn the playing style of the thief so I better counter it, then ended up loving the style then the NERF. Ok with that being said yes I do have Mug traited however when I stealth then Infiltratos Strike to close the gap then steal Mugdeals no damage and I get unstealthed, but that was lastngiht let me go to PVP and check on the dummies.

Ok maybe I didn’t make myself clear, I did no damage whatsoever and became unstealthed. So let me be clearer. Stealth→Infiltrators Stike→No Damage/Unstealthed→Attack=Bug?. ow with that said please don’t take this personal but Badicoot please do not troll this go back to Ranger.

@ Geiir i just got my thief to 80 2 days before patch and I am actually enjoying it very much… That was hard to say it takes skill and combos to make anything work right and it is ALOT harder than a D/D Ele. Now with that said I am humbled and now playing after the patch wiht the stealth/Infiltrators Strike or Steal you become unstealthed wow anet not sure if that was intended but GoodfingGame. But at least I get to still rek Rangers with all those buffs they got but it takes a little more skill and thought process….

Its happening when you stealth then either infiltators strike or steal you become unstealthed……. Please lets hope this is a bug

D/D is I think more viable than D/P, due to the nerf. S/D is much more difficult. You could go S/D, P/D to get them to waste their didges while your on P/D to get your sword larcenous strike to hit, but it makes thiefs much more interesting to play atm, especially with the stealth/steal bug(maybe)
