Guild Wars 2

I think this will make the servers a lot more balanced in WvW, no more same matches over and over again, i personally am tired of being on a tier 1 server, i want small scale fights so i want to move to a lower tier server, but since 1000 gems is a lot for a person who only plays wvw i am stuck.

Transferring from lower tier to higher tier should still cost 1k gems i have no problem with that, but from higher to lower server should be free to promote diversity, more fun matchups in wvw, no more dead servers.

Here is an idea Anet about the transfers.

Atm i play on Desolation but since the gem price and gem amount is 1000(which is a lot for a wvw player) makes me unable to transfer to less populated servers suck as Piken Square, now if this was free i would do it right away, my point being is that transferring from Tier 1 servers to Tier 2 should be free of charge, that will promote a lot of transfers and will make WvW a lot more interesting.You can keep the 1k gem price for transferring to the high populated servers.

Your top 3 roaming classes in your order(1st is best)?

Mine are: Mesmer,Thief, Engineer

I will give this game maximum of 1 year more before we see more handy p2w items, well 1 more year or fun is enough for me.

So between the next ones:

6th Gandara
7th Far Shiverpeaks
1oth Piken Square
15th Gunnar’s Hold

Wich one is best for roaming and small scale fights, but is also not dead.

Even if you enjoy a warrior doesn’t mean the nerfs were not harsh, because they were…
Not to mention that will still have broke skillssuch as Rush m Bull Charge who miss 50% of the time, so together with the nerfs were a big hit to the class, i still play warrior mostly because it suits my class, but when i jump on my guardian and start roaming on 1v1 i can see it is much stronger, so i hope next patch will bring some buffs and especially fixes at least for those 2 skills.

I too am facing difficult decision on where to move, either tier 3 or tier 2, i wanted tier 3 but i am afraid it might be too dead.

Keep in mind when i say roaming server, i don’t mean a dead one, just a server that people roam much more than they zerg, i was thinking bronze league but maybe silver league is good too i am not sure anymore , also i want a server where zerg fights are max 15 people not 40 people… so please, leave suggestion rather than saying " you can still roam in gold league servers"

Just wondering wich servers have the most active roamers and roaming parties? High population servers are out of the question i am in one atm, and basically you always encounter a mini zerg after 5-10 min

Desolation currently doesn’t have many roaming teams, so we could surely use help on that. If you want the highest amount of ganking teams, go to Gandara or Kodash, but then don’t come here to complain that the enemy servers have less roaming teams. It would be better for the health of the roaming meta if the roamers would spread more evenly on different servers. If I run solo and encounter an enemy ganking team who chases me down and I see them harassing other Desolation players, I will surely summon enough players to kill them. And probably do it many times so that they will leave that map.

I disagree that you cannot roam on high population servers. Sure, it is difficult in EU tier 1, but if you are sneaky you can solo or duo towers and keeps even during the busiest prime time hours. Outside prime time, a typical commander party (the blue dorrito) is 2-10 players and most enemy teams are similar size, so it is almost like roaming. The number of players outside the prime time is low and that should alert the developers that something should be done to pull the players back to WvWvW.

Actually i wouldn’t call 10 people a roaming team, roaming teams for me are 2-4, max 5 to 6 people, anything beyond that is mini zerg but i dunno why you wouldn’t agree that on tier 1 servers you cannot roam, you are bound to encounter enemy zerg within 10 min.

What do you guys think of Piken Square or Gunnar’s Hold?

Junkpile.7439:

If i would be roamer and got balls i would go server where i would be only roamer.

That’s it no more drugs for you!

But seriously, how are the medium populated servers?

Zietlogik.6208:

ya…cuz leaps aren’t broken too >.>

Well at least works much better than Rush, but yeah its kinda sad i want totally broken skill to be fixed with half broken skill, but sad as it is ill take what i can get

I agree that 100b cast time should be faster, if ranger’s rapid fire can be so fast and deal 7k dmg in so little time 100b should be faster too.

Make the last 600 range a leap like the guardian one, so you run 600 + you leap the last 600 since the rush is 1200 range, and everyone is happy, it won’t miss and it will be fixed unlike now which is total bs and hits 2/10 times.

Honestly if i am on war or i am loosing i can always outrun them, they are slow as turtles plus if they don’t have travelers runes than turtle with a broken legg, i’ve tried medi guard yeah its great for 1v1 but very very slow.

Short answer = No its not worth it

Long answer, well i tried it i really did (i have champion paragorn title) and even tho its strong for 1v1 and small group fights the thing is that you basically have very very low mobility, you cannot run away from fights or kite effectively wich for wvw is very important, its mostly for spvp where a person has limited movement space or cannot afford to move away from point so you can unload on him, but for wvw you will fell as a turtle plus you will have to use Travelers runes unlike lets say warrior wich has a trait for 25% movement speed so you can invest into better runes,so yeah i don’t think its worth it, gs/hammer war is better for roaming, thiefs are better, ele ofc , now even rangers with the buffs are good.

Otokomae.9356:

99% of the complaints I see about Thief are really about 1 specific build, the one that has been least affected by all the changes to Thief class since the game came out: the Dagger/Pistol Thief. This one build annoys everyone, including other D/P Thieves, as they do have the ability to stack up several seconds of stealth very easily, runaway, and with no cooldown they can simply restack stealth again until they’re completely out of view. Several people have already shown that you can crisscross an entire Borderlands map without ever leaving Stealth if you really want to (it’s boring, since you have to keep stopping to re-stealth, & you can’t attack anything).

This is also, of course, the Thief build with the lowest amount of skill required to stay alive. Shadow’s Refuge and other stealth skills are, of course, annoying to people, but they are not in the same league as the no Cooldown Stealth-Stacking that Dagger/Pistol builds have available to them. I saw someone here mentioned Cloak & Dagger, but C&D is really a setup move for most Thieves, and a temporary disengage at best; it’s not the get-out-of-jail-free-card that the OP seems to be describing. If you can’t catch a Thief because he Cloak and Daggered you and then got a 1.5-2 second headstart, then he probably could’ve left the fight at anytime regardless, because that means you’re using a build with little-to-no mobility anyway, especially by Warrior standards.

Anyway, I agree that something should probably be done about the Dagger/Pistol Thief’s stealth stacking, as it’s been abused in every way imaginable since Launch, and I really believe it’s the basis for almost every reasonable complaint I’ve seen on the forums regarding Stealth in WvW.

Basically something needs to be done to stealth in general, i mean i would be ok if somehow when you hit him in AoE the thief is revealed but in this game that is not the case, so basically there are 0 counters to stealth besides throwing your aoe and probably wasting good skills for nothing.

Also to some other poster who told me to learn my class, well i have Champion Legionnaire(Warrior), Champion Paragorn(Guardian) and soon Champion Illusionist(Mesmer), so i know my way around, the post is not about if i loose or win a fight vs stealth spamming thiefs its about how that even if you are winning a fight you just can’t because they will stealth away and just run, i don’t mind classes running away and me chasing them, its challenging and its fun, but spending 5 min pvping someone and he just decided to run away and you don’t even realize it just plain annoying and unbalanced and basically ruins pvp.

Catalin.5341:

The idea around the thief class is getting stealthed, dish out as much damage as possible, go back in stealth. If you take that away then it becomes just a squishy warrior.
Warriors have HP to compensate, Thieves have Stealth.
Roll a thief and you will learn their stealth rotation and will be able to counter them with your main class.

Its not about that, for example i play guardian,warrior and mesmer, but for roaming i usually use my warrior, the thing is that fighting them is not that hard its just very very annoying and even if you are winning they get stealthed and next time you see them they are 1km away, that is why i am saying stealth should be nerfed somehow, i mean come on 90% of the roamers are thiefs, why do you think that is? Something has to be done otherwise every new player that comes into this game will go “wtf is this kitten”

This is starting to get out of hand, atm roaming is a joke you can’t even do a good 1v1 because 90% of the roamers are thiefs and when they get low hp =stealth and run away.
This is not a complain thread about thiefs being OP or some kitten this is mostly about the stealth, this thing has to be reworked, there has to be some kind of nerfs on the stealth, either the duration should be reduced or you cannot go stealth again if you did in the last 5-8 sec.

Whats even more irritating is that even if Anet doesn’t know how to fix this, they still haven’t found alternative to change how it works,they can basically make the skill hit aoe radius when it reaches target, yeah i think some buffs are in order after the adrenaline which affected multiple skills and traits has been butchered.

I have no idea why Anet would say its working as intended, basically they hugely nerfed the warrior without giving any real buffs, if you are gona do that at least buff the passive traits that were affected by the adrenaline nerf, buff some skills i mean anything is better than nothing, i can understand if warriors were OP but they were not, when i play my guardian or my mesmer i honestly don’t have trouble 1v1 warriors especially hambows, i really don’t see Anet logic here….

Since like i said in my previous topic the nerf will bigger than what everyone thinks, just wondering if anet is planning to buff something on the warrior.Don’t get me wrong i don’t mind the adrenaline lost on missed burst skill or the adrenaline nerf on berserker stance, what i do mind is the super fast adrenalin decay wich for us means brainless wasting of our adrenaline instead of saving it tactically for incoming enemy’s also not to mention that thiefs and mesmers can reset the fight and put us out of combat this very easy, in combination with the slower adrenaline gain i really think is a bit overkill.
Ps: Please don’t comment on how you are so skilled that this nerf doesn’t affect you, that is not the point, the point is that the nerf affects many builds,traits and skills without actually buffing anything significant in the process.So to make it simple i think the adrenaline decay should be slower and to be activated at a later time, and also the adrenaline gain should return to how it was, the miss on burst skill nerf and the berserker adrenaline nerf should remain.

There is no doubt that something has to be done to counter this HUGE nerf (yes it is huge because of the reasons mentioned above) they should either, give us back the old adrenaline build up rate and the no adrenaline decay, or buff some defensive skills or traits, either way something has to be done.

I really didn’t understand the logic behind the adrenaline out of combat Nerf, i mean Anet should be happy that we were managing the adrenalin, by that i mean if i am fighting 1v1 and he is dying and if i see another enemy coming i would save my adrenaline to use it on the other person, now i cannot even do that?

Agreed, i don’t mind the loss of adrenaline on miss, but this decay is a joke, anyone can just reset the fight and you are left with 0 adrenaline, the old system must be brought back.

I am talking about Meditation guardian, besides the primary greatsword weapon, what is your pick for secondary weapon and why? (besides focus in off hand)

Mine are and in order 1.scepter 2.sword 3.mace

Scepter i think is great since its ranger weapon, because the skill 3 works great with combination with skill 2 and you can keep the pressure on ranged enemy’s when they kite you.

Sword is great mostly due to the teleport , sure the skill 3 is good but teleport is main deal why i might end up using the sword not to mention the extra blind.

Mace is awesome for melee combat and the block and heal it gives but its mainly defensive weapon meant for fighting melee classes, when you are being kited it becomes useless if your utility gap closers are on cd, at least the sword has teleport and the scepter had range attacks.

Also if anyone can tell me how to make a poll so i see wich weapon will be the most picked that would be great.

Juba.8406:

yes the adrenaline nerf is a bit harsh, but its time to break Cleansing Ire chain surrounding warrior’s neck, for too long we were dependent on that trait.

I’m curious if the adrenaline change will actually make Cleansing Ire less attractive or not.

Currently, Cleansing Ire cures conditions based on Adrenaline spent, and one of the major mechanics that keeps it ‘balanced’ is that missed Burst skills don’t spend adrenaline, and so don’t cure conditions. Currently, a warrior needs to be careful on how he uses his burst skills -or carry a longbow- to maximize condi removal.

But if burst skills drain adrenaline regardless if they hit or not… won’t that mean it always procs Cleansing Ire? You’re still spending 1-3 bars of adrenaline, even if the skill doesn’t hit. To me it seems that would make the trait more useful, since even if you miss you’ll still purge conditions.

Thats what I’m thinking too. Unless they changed CI to only proc on a successful hit of an f1 skill, but I feel something like that would have been mentioned at least.

We will see tomorrow, but even if it procs with the reduced adrenaline gain we probably won’t have 3 bars all the time like we use to, so again less condition removed, and if you miss you loose all the bars wich means 0 adrenal hp regenerated, so yeah its still a loose.

Nah they want warrior because, 3 warriors = 3 banners, 3 x"for great justice",3 x shake it off(condition removal) wich means might and fury upkeep 24/7, not to mention the huge dmg from hundred blades, i can go on but the topic is not about wich class is most effective in pve its about the incoming nerfs and how the affect it.

Cygnus.6903:

The funny thing about your post is that you end it saying you will change to guardian and only use warrior for PvE, while Guardian is better in PvE in all roles.

Thats why people want only 1 guardian and they are ok with 4 warriors in party, because guardian is better, seems legit.

Everyone seems to agree that vs ranger opponents you will die, than why don’t you use scepter? I will roam wvw with gs/scepter+focus, not only the scepter has a great combo of skill 3+2 but you can spam those orbs and keep the pressure up until your leap or Judge’s Intervention come out of CD, i really don’t see the big deal here, i mean in spvp i kept bigger pressure with the scepter on a range class than him on me, i don’t see it as a big problem here, plus once those 2 skills comes off cd and you can close the gap you will probably burst him to death.

Especially when using the defense trait line, which is the case if you are using a hammer. Why you might ask, well its simple, because of the reduce adrenaline gain, and of the change that even if you miss your burst skill you loose all the adrenaline 2 passive traits are getting nerfed, one is the Adrenal health(regenerates hp based on your adrenaline level) and another one is Cleansing Ire(remove 1 condition for 1 bar of adrenaline you spend), so you see how the adrenaline ties to other stuff, all i can tell you is that i already switched to guardian and ill probably be using it my warrior for pve only, like i said believe me that this nerf will be bigger than you might initially think.

Grok Krog.9581:

Even with Cleansing Ire/Zerker stance you can get overloaded with conditions. If you add a cooldown (which I can understand 10 seconds). It needs to be changed to remove conditions before the hit so it can work with any weapon while blinded

This.

Not to mention it only clears 3 conditions at max Adrenaline(wich in most times you don’t have it fulled max), and that is 8 sec, cd so a condi class can reapply the conditions in 2 sec, so yeah i do agree that “It needs to be changed to remove conditions before the hit”

I have zodiac heavy leggings that are causing clipping with almost every big greatsword, do you think if i change my body type to less bulky can fix this issue? Or thats how the leggings are designed?

Rouven.7409:

I’ll check it myself when I feel like it.
Cheers and good luck.

But you did see with the last screenshot that character butt doesn’t really meters right?

Rouven.7409:

I’m not saying you should do this, but out of curiosity, have you tried to preview this with a different body type? If you have a total makeover kit. I don’t think you will see your sword, but it should be obvious if the dress moves closer to the legs (so to speak).

You really think because my character butt is too big it makes the sword clip? 1st, the body type is not the biggest out there nor the butt, 2nd do you see how severe the clipping is idon’t think even if i have the tiniest human body type would fix it? and 3rd, sure send me a makeover kit(i am broke) i would gladly change it to prove you wrong.

Khadez.4958:

Try wearing a greatsword on Sylvari medium T3 armor. It clips like crazy but o well I’m used to it by now, just need a weapon that doesnt make the cliping too obvious. I for example use the Jotun greatsword, kind of blends in with my armor color so its not too bad. So yeah, just get used to it

The thing with the zodiac is that it can be fixed by reducing the leggings dress to be close to the leggs and maybe make it a tighter circle around the character that is all, nothing else needs a change just the leggings

Race: Human
Sex: Female
Class: Warrior, Guardian
Issue: Clipping artifact
Item: Zodiac Heavy leggings and Mistoforge Greatsword

You design a really cool armor and you make it clip with almost every greatswords except the ones that are thin.Half the greatswords in this game are huge which means it will clip with half the weapons, why would you design it like that?

The fix is actually quite simple, the leggings of the armor have this robe,dress call it whatever you want that is elevated too much, it needs to be closer to the leggs, and less in the air in order for the weapons not to clip, i was so happy to get my wvw weapon only to find out how much it clips trough the armor.

And before you make comments let me give you the answer: “No i do not want to use different leggings i payed for the zodiac and i like so i would like to use it”, “No i do not want to use different Greatsword because i played wvw i did the achivment i would like to use the mistforge skin”

I don’t think its too much to ask for the dress on the zodiac heavy leggings to be toned down a little aka to go lower to the leggs so it doesn’t clip.

7 days since i last logged in, do the same and send them a message , trust me they will notice when less and less players log in, dead game = dead game so stop logging in until they fix the issue , its not about the rewards its about sending a message that this is unprofessional and unacceptable, not to mention that same thing happened in season 1.

Mark Katzbach.9084:

Guys, the last update was on Friday. Today is Monday. Contrary to popular belief, our developers have lives and families that they would like to live and see respectively.

Believe me when I say that we will provide an update as soon as we have an update to provide. Until that time, your continued patience is appreciated.

Mark, you do realize that we need a fix not an update right?

I only have 1 lvl 80 char wich is a warrior and i don’t see the point of making other classes since warrior has it all, i hope that settles it

Its funny that people still think its about the rewards lol.

Its about principle! We were lied 2 times, they didn’t deliver once, than they give us 2nd date and didn’t deliver again, in my book that is called unprofessional, when i order food that the Waiter says it will arrive in 5 min i wait, when he says there is a problem and it will arrive in 10 min sure ill be angry but ill wait , when he comes and says oh i don’t know where your food went , ill walk up and leave, just like i did here, i have not logged in for 4 days now and counting i urge you to do the same, we have to send a msg here that this is not ok, next time instead of pixels it might be 1000 gold that you have won or a trip to Bahamas or whatever.

BootyWarrior.5243:

I ensure you all, if you all just quit playing the game for a month, they would fix the bug.

4 days and counting since i have not logged in, and i am not planing until the rewards are fixed so i am doing my part.

beastahead.9732:

You are forgetting one major thing.

Did you guys know that pretty much 60% of all the money made by Anet are going for NCsoft? – there was an article about it, cant find it now.

Did you know what for the other 40% are going? – probably servers and pay checks(which are kittened by the way).

Did you know what the 60% are going for right now? – The new mega-awesome MMO full of “innovations” and stuff(hint: The name starts with Wild, and ends with Star).

Why would Anet congratulate a rival MMO for its arrival? – Orders from the publisher, NCsoft.

I dont blame Anet for this. I blame NCsoft for ruining Anet`s rating as the awesome company it is. I blame NCsoft for the lack of interest in its own published products. I blame NCsoft for probably getting the good programmers and putting them in their new “innovative” MMO and leaving Anet with interns.

That is what I think of this issue and probably of all the issues with this game.

Peace.

I wouldn’t play that wow clone even if i get paid lol, it looks like a game made for 14 years old kids, seriously just look at it, i think even the devs themselves wanted to be exactly like wow i mean are you kidding me? If wow comes out today it would probably be considered as below average mmo, and they still release a wow clone, i really hope it fails hard so Ncsoft turn their attention to gw2.

I sometimes roam on my warrior but its not easy feat to pull off, my best win was this:
I engaged necro and a thief, i swaped to my hammer wich has 3 crit hits after swap(forgot the sigil name) i had adrenaline full i killed the thief in 5-6 sec, i engaged the necro by the time i downed him the thief was almost up and i stomped him just in time,i had 40% hp, he managed to get me to 20% than i killed him too, i hid near some rocks a mesmer passed i jumped on him and stunlocked him and downed him, at this moment i had 10% hp, after that a warrior chased me but i had more mobility so while i was running i got to 100% hp, downed him also, i had sweat on my hands but was worth it, but the truth is, i really didn’t like fighting 2-3 people at once.

My best overall and most fun fight was with my thief friend we engaged in a battle 2v2v2 that lasted for 8 min, that was the most fun battle because everyone was skilled everyone was kiting when low and everyone knew who to fight.We were Deso vs Sfr vs BB, at the end both of us were standing , sfr had 1 who ran away and bb were dead, really fun fight, thats why i think duo roaming is the best.

My bet is either 10 or 11th.

Mark Katzbach.9084:

Hey everybody, the team has a lead they are working on. Please hang tight. We haven’t forgotten about you. We will post more information when things are more certain.

Wait what?? A “lead” ? I thought this issue is almost fixed….wow

Ritualist Gaz.3208:

You people got rewards for working on the WvW Meta Achievement for each one you finished . . . . . Why can’t you all be patient for this one reward at the end? Its not like it’s the end of the world. Dang so much negativity towards ANET yet you’re all still playing this game. /quit if you’re that upset about digital rewards. -.-

Thats why people like you probably don’t make it very far.
When someone promise me a promotion and don’t deliver it in time and says i should wait few more days aka until June 3rd sure ill be a little upset but i will wait, like i did, when they don’t deliver on the 2nd date also i will most definitely be upset, especially since i worked hard and i should get it, but i don’t get it because of their fault some random x person should get his promotion too, same thing applies here, why don’t they open the rewards to the accounts that have the perfect amount of wvw tokens so they can purchase the rewards, why some must wait? What is the difference of me for example who will have the skin vs someone who won’t have? Will i be able to 1 hit kill him because of the skin, i don’t get it….

Wow so many people are missing the point here….

We are angry because not only that we didn’t receive our rewards in time, but also because we didn’t receive them on the 2nd date which was 3th of June, if Anet would announce before the tournament that the rewards would come in September 2014 everyone would have been ok with it, but the anouace a date than they don’t deliver than they announce a 2nd date and they still didn’t deliver and you ask me why are we upset, its because we are being lied that is why, don’t make promise you cannot keep.

To all the people who “know” how to fix it – you don’t have a clue!
Just sit tight and wait for professionals to take care of it, ok? STOP YOUR WHINING

We did wait, we waited the 9 weeks of the season, we waited the propagandized time before the season started, we have waited since Friday for them to fix this issue. They have not done so.

For those saying “you don’t know how hard it is” to find and fix the error. You’re right, we don’t but at the same time we did not call ourselves a company and release a game. We did not put ourselves forward as “professionals” and then fail to deliver to our customers.

ANet is a company, they have produced a product. We, their customers, have experienced dissatisfaction with this product. We have taken our time to post on these boards to express our dissatisfaction with their product. This is not “whining”. This is feedback. Sure it’s not the type of feedback Arenanet, or any company, wants but it is still feedback.

If you want to defend Arenanet and its practice of failure, you’re well within your rights to do so. You do not have the right to antagonize those of us who have politely expressed our displeasure with the lack of foresight Arenanet used in handling the rewards from season 2 especially in light of the fact that they have still failed to properly reward everyone who participated in season 1.

Couldn’t have said it better myself, +1
