This is something similar to the fused weapon skin situation too isn’kitten Why are they making the same mistakes?
No. Just be creative.
IIRC this was actually a feature that was added later in the game. I guess there were too many people accidentally salvaging rares.
No. Absolutely terrible idea. As others have mentioned already, this issue is entirely an organizational problem, not a monetary one.
lol BDO is more of a game then GW2 was to start with GW2 there is no skill, no time needed and no sense of worth. Only reason you like guild wars is cause they give you the best gear. Have fun with your new update glad to see them still trying to make it a place for the plebs to run back to after other game devs dont hold there hand.
I’d like to have what you’re drinking. Did you even play BDO?
A level 15 mob almost kills you even though you have max armor and stats. Therefore this game is child’s play. Dat logic tho.
Change it back to Friday.
No. It’s fine the way it is.
the meta is changing at an alarming rate
This whole situation is so hilarious. Their entire youtube existence and fanbase is based on guild wars 2. Like, at what point do you sit there and decide you should risk everything you’ve worked hard to build up on, by cheating (in the jumping puzzle i’m assuming)? Perhaps they needed material for their upcoming song about sucking at cheating but they forgot it was against the rules? I just don’t get people like this. RIP
cool story WizardBro
Thief obviously had to get nerfed more because two thieves showed up in ESL
This thread is quite offensive to me and is adding to the hostile environment. Why are you calling me an immature dork? Is OP perhaps one of the bullies??
Having the same issue.
Holy crap, revert back to BWE 2 balance or something. The open world PvE is so horribly boring now in this BWE.
Uhhh, if this is such a massive issue for you, why don’t you just hide the chat? Think about it, even going off of my experience from almost 3 years of playing this game, pvp chat has been useful about 2 times.
There’s been several worse patches, one of the worst ones I can remember off the top of my head resulted in all of my characters being forced into a looping load screen. Game was unplayable.
Probably a second birthday booster that shoots out Queen Jennah mini’s.
From WvW during the second tournament. While trying to hold our keep, I ended up killing a bunch of enemies and one of them gave me the drop. The rest of the precursors…dropped from the trading post.
Silverwastes will definitely get nerfed at some point so there is really no need for a permanent shovel imo.
Kind of hoping this thread doesn’t make it to page 2.

Good luck guys. Two specialists are definitely better than one for WvW.

Dumb change. There was already barely any sense of progression and now they are just removing this in favor of casual players that won’t stick around anyway because of terrible rewards. Veteran players get shafted as usual.
Oh boy, all those rank points that I can’t use are sure going to be worthwhile now that the other lame abilities cost even less…

i thought in game weddings and stuff like that was even lower priority than mounts
although perhaps another attack on LA in which the chapel blows up might be more exciting for a living story
These are not bugs, these are new features.

1- No reason to strip him naked (the act of a child).
2- No reason to make the char jump to it’s death (the act of the same child who thinks he’s cool).
3- No reason to show us the character being deleted.The fact he said “oh yeah and we banned him” seemed like an after tought that was never his original intention.
Good job on making yourself seem like a childish human being when you should be acting like an adult without even a word of him being banned, the fact he has gone is enough, we don’t need to know what you did.
This just proves my point that Anet really have no respect for it’s player base in it’s behaviour towards the good and the bad.
LMAO. Wow, are you actually being serious? I don’t even know where to begin. Childish human being? Did you even read your own post? Unless you’re being triggered (go to tumblr pls), I think you’re overthinking this and blowing it out of proportion.

Really not impressed with the direction this specialization took. It sounds like a Ranger 2.0.
^ Did you follow the thread while it was active or did you start reading it after it was locked?
There were plenty of (removed) posts that were very far from tame. Multiple posts were direct attacks on Marmatt’s person rather than the position itself.
It is rather irrelevant that it was, in your eyes, not as bad as other games. It was bad, and it would not be accepted in the slightest in any real world situation.
I followed the thread while it was active. I’ve been an admin and moderator on several sites for years, the reactions I saw were quite tame from my experience. Even the posts that were attacking him were not exactly trauma inducing. The posts certainly aren’t the scary posts you’re trying to make them appear as. You can claim how bad the reactions were all you want, it’s all subjective. Anet deleted the posts that were deemed to have been against the rules and that’s that. The focus of this thread is on Marmatt and what he has done with his position.
It is rather irrelevant that it was, in your eyes, not as bad as other games. It was bad, and it would not be accepted in the slightest in any real world situation.
I like how you don’t realize what you typed here is actually irrelevant. Perhaps you should reread my entire post since you failed to address the main points.
Lets be honest here: Do people here actually think that ANYONE would apply for the role after they saw what happened to the last one?
Uh, yes? How is that even a question? The reactions to Marmatt’s introduction were extremely tame compared to other game forums. There has not been a single person to exist that was loved by all. If you are passionate and confident about what you do, you don’t care about other people judging you. Yes, this applies even if you’re just a forum specialist that collects feedback to give to developers. Along with this, I know that when the announcement was made, there were several posts alluding to the fact that the WvW forum specialist would need to have thick skin if he/she wanted to help. It’s very much common knowledge what this place is like. Several forum members claimed that they absolutely would’ve applied if they had been aware of the announcement. Others say that they are locked out due to region requirements or not having a clean enough posting history. I actually think that Marmatt’s actions (or lack of) will compel more passionate WvW players who normally wouldn’t have applied to reconsider. We’ll just have to see.
Assuming Marmatt’s absence is due to some “mean” posts, I would say he was completely unprepared for the position (even though he was qualified from Anet’s standards) since it takes about 1 minute to view this sub forum to become aware of the bitterness here. Why would he apply for the position if he doesn’t even read this forum or understand the posters mindset? Putting all of that aside, I would wager that Marmatt; not being invested in WvW, lead him to simply give up as he probably felt he did not have enough WvW experience to judge what was good feedback or bad feedback.
At the very least, if the next applicant has a hefty amount of WvW in-game history or a general WvW forum presence, I am certain the reactions from posters will be vastly different from what Marmatt experienced.
In my opinion, it was pretty clear from Day 1 that he wasn’t really involved with the WvW community or the game mode itself. Marmatt’s silence on the forum only served to show me that he was way out of his league. You can take a look at all of the other forum specialists’ posting history and they are all active, even in forums outside of their specialty.
Some people apply for positions just to be given attention/treated like a special snowflake and while I don’t actually know Marmatt, I’m just going to assume that’s the case here. I would say to just leave the poor guy alone and just pretend WvW never had a forum specialist. Also, if he really is sharing accounts (pretty sure that’s against the rules) then it seems to me like he really does want to hide and pretend none of this ever happened. When it’s time to replace the forum specialists, perhaps someone more enthusiastic will apply.
While it’s not needed for the position, someone with actual WvW credibility would be a great reassurance and might even ease up on the negativity here. Also, it wouldn’t hurt if the moderators added a stickied thread in each sub forum when they make the next forum specialist application announcement.
Rage quit WvW for tonight. I don’t like these potato servers that are apparently in use after the last few patches. I was just going to deal with it but it’s so bad it reminds me of when the game came out with culling and there would be horrendous lag during fights and you could only see like 25 people on the screen the whole time. Except now the lag really is occurring when there are only 25 people fighting each other.
I’m not even sure why anyone is humoring the OP at this point. His/her oldest post on the forum is from 2 months ago and an overwhelming majority of the posts revolve around the same issues of burst and risk builds.
The best suggestion for the OP is to either learn to play/counter or move on and find another game. You can’t have the same problems for roughly 2 months and continue to think that it’s the game that needs to change and not you yourself.
fix this pls
it’s the only source of conversation that i have
If you’re dying to hambow, stability is not the problem. Just saying.
Some people here need to stop posting and help me build this arrow cart already. Ranged combat is super exciting amirite?
I really didn’t expect this change to be mentioned in this livestream. I felt like I just got run over. Resistance/stab changes are definitely going to play heavily into GvG’s and WvW. Hopefully they put an article or something to go into more detail on what other changes are made if any.
Please, just stop. It’s clear you don’t have a grasp of even the basics in WvW if you don’t know why these would be incredibly broken. Either learn how to read the map and navigate the terrain to avoid enemy zergs and/or equip skills which will allow you to escape from them, or just sit and wait at the waypoint or until the group gets closer.
Having reinforcements cut off from the group or facing the prospect of a long run across the map to support their team is an important element to the game mode.
This.
Good luck Marmatt. I don’t agree with the rude attitude people (especially the PPT heroes LOL) are giving you here but I can understand their mindset given your WvW stats and posting history. People want to see how passionate you actually are about WvW to ensure you can help give the developers the proper feedback to get this game mode the attention it desperately needs.
While I am still doubtful of any significant changes resulting from this specialist program, at least this might be better than the stellar communication the WvW devs (or rather, dev) have been treating us to. There are a ton of threads here with good feedback (maybe look for almost unanimous agreement in threads if you don’t feel that you’re experienced on the subject matter) in them, you should probably start off from there if you want people warm up to your presence here sooner than later.

This thread needs to be locked or at least moved to the profession subforum if the OP changes his/her tune. OP isn’t interested in a discussion and is instead repeating the same complaint over and over. 11k damage on eviscerate is supposed to be high damage? Everyone that replies in a way you don’t like is a warrior? You sound pretty insane right now. If only you could spend as much time learning to play your class and learn simple counters like dodging the unique eviscerate animation as you do attacking other posters here on the forum who are just trying to help you.

I think it’ll just be a mechanic to be used only in the jungle.
Would you suggest a build with a shield instead?
Using a shield won’t necessarily make you more tanky. Outside of roaming in WvW, there isn’t much use for a shield to be honest. The shield #4 skill gives you very small gap closer towards your target that ends with a knock down attack. It’s a single target skill that doesn’t have a short cool down period. There are situations though where it can come in handy, such as when you’re ready to burst down a target with the hundred blades skill on the greatsword. You won’t often find yourself in a situation like that for the most part. The shield #5 is freaking amazing when you activate it at the correct times (when you’re about to get bursted down or if you need to close in on a target that’s far away from you and you don’t want projectiles to slow you down) yet carries a 30 second cool down on it.
How often can you justifiably use these skills doing what you do in PvE or WvW?

What is a decent tank-oriented build for World vs World and what is a decent tank build for dungeon?
Well for WvW, that shouts front line build is already fairly tanky since it’s used with Soldiers Armor (Power, Toughness, Vitality) rather than Berserker (Power, Precision, Ferocity). I mean, if you desperately want to feel more tanky you can change one of your condition clearing skills (either For Great Justice or Shake It Off) to Endure Pain and change Balanced Stance to Dolyak Signet but I wouldn’t really suggest you do that.
For Dungeons, they are relatively easy and safe to complete with a variety of gear/builds but I would suggest that you follow this build and just replace the Berserker Armor or trinkets to Soldiers if you want to feel more tanky: http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Warrior_-_GS_Axe/Mace

You will want to immediately prioritize getting exotic level gear if you want to really improve your performance, there is quite a bit of difference compared to running with greens. (Although I despise Eotm, you can play in Edge of the Mists if you want extremely quick access to Badges of Honor to buy exotic gear). That tequatl build you’re using has no condition clearing so you will get destroyed in WvW. You can’t sustain condition damage at all. The build is also extremely squishy (read: very easy to die if you’re focused). It’s also using banners which don’t really help if you’re moving around too much. Since you’re using full zerker stats, I take it that you’re just roaming in WvW rather than playing with a zerg? If that’s the case, you don’t want to run that build at all considering you have Battle Standard as the elite. If you are however running with a zerg, I would really advise you to change your build to this at the start: http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Warrior_-_Shouts_Frontliner
If you enjoy higher damage you can start changing out to zerker trinkets gradually as you get used to it.
If you’re roaming then either of these builds are great and fun to use:
http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Warrior_-_GS_Axe/Shield_Roamer
http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Warrior_-_Hammer/GS_Roamer
At the end of the day, the tequatl build you’re running is only meant to be sufficient for PvE and that world boss in particular. In WvW you should attempt to be a bit more flexible so that you can survive while still dishing out damage.
Warrior and Guardian are both fairly easy to play in WvW. Assuming your poor performance isn’t referring to poor fps (in which case you may as well Staff #1 on a Guardian all day), what exactly is the problem? What build are you using on your Warrior? It’s more likely that you’re not geared appropriately or you’re perhaps not running an effective build.
Check around here if your build/gear is able to hold up against other builds currently used in the meta: http://metabattle.com/wiki/MetaBattle_Wiki
I just place my fingers on the 1-4 keys (left hand) and 6-8 keys (right hand), then play it like a keyboard. Stick with the same key (upper, middle, low) every time too. It’ll take a few tries till your brain gets familiar with the notes and you develop muscle memory, but once you get that down, it’s easy to get almost 90+% success each and every time.
Do exactly this. I thought this was a troll thread, but if I think back to when I first encountered the Bell Choir I guess I was also struggling to grasp the timing/memorization until maybe after my 3rd or 4th round in the game. However, it really doesn’t take much effort to get 90% once you get used to it.
Holy crap this will save WvW! To be honest, I’m not bothered by this announcement (would’ve expected WvW to receive nothing and just be completely forgotten about) but I still have ~30k badges I can’t be bothered to spend. I wish there was a way to use these badges to buy a WvW dev team. Pls.
Whatever, I guess this is just a nice small improvement overall.
