Guild Wars 2

i bough karmic retribution and lost it after getting back on the map :S

Same issue… Could we have a dev say something about this ?

Problem seems to be that anet doesn’t want to separate pvp and pve skills and they balance everything around pvp.
Condi mesmer is strong in pvp but almost useless in pve so we’ve been in the wong side all this time.
The scepter speed could stay the same if the torment lasted longer.
My simple sugestion:

Ether Bolt (projectile)
x1 Torment (4s)

Ether Blast (non projectile – similiar to necro scepter )
x1 AoE Torment (4/3s) (radius 240) (the AoE effect would make this so much better in PvE without making a huge impact in PVP)

Ether Clone (non projectile, so we dont have to wait so much for the clone to spawn)
x1 Confussion IN adition to clone creation not instead
[x3 confussion if you control exacly 3 scepter clones.]

Counterspell
Should daze instead of blinding or at least be a bouncing attack.

Then of course its not only about scepter as we would need accompanying weapons.

Add confusion to the burning of the Pmage. And change PWarlock to cause stacks of a condition based on the number of condition on enemy (similar to the necro scepter 3) or lets say extend the durantion of damaging condition.

well one weapon option should be viable without the specialization don’t you think???

One more totally against this change… This way p/p is dead in PvE at least…

bio lumen armor is in the silverwastes where u hardly have to jump at all… The amberite insect weapons are in dry top

And for spinal blades you can also get some in the not so secret jumping puzzle. just have one of your characters do it and leave it near the end chest and go there every day to collect it.

It was sent to them? When? Where? I totally missed and would love to give some feedback… especially because they listen too.
I remember las time they asked for our input I pointed out the scepter for mesmers (that was supposed to be the condi weapon) was lacking the condi’s and suggested the auto attack should cause torment and guess what they did it (of course not only because i suggested lol)

Drarnor Kunoram.5180:

Oh. In that case, you probably shouldn’t be going condi at all, so Banshee’s Wail is the best choice. Warhorn is good there. Consider that traited Locust Swarm has an effective power coefficient of 3.0 (though crits factor in differently than one big hit) and is AoE. For reference, Backstab is only a 2.4

But i want to go Condi… so banshees wail is out of question…

Bhawb.7408:

Honestly you’re just noticing one of the number of issues with their new specialization system. They simply haven’t done a great job with a lot of trait placements, and there are a few situations where the three choices can end up all being worthless to you.

I totally agree with you that’s why i made this post… I remember last update to skills, anet devs made a post so we could give feedback this time they said they were interested in out feedback but there is no general post to do so, so maybe we can post here all the problems we see with necro new trait… I posted this one because is the one affecting my build and they already said they were looking at the blood magic line.

I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this, but when previewing the new trait system the devs said that they would like to listen to our input on them and i cant find any topic about this so…

Anyway i play a condition necromancer (yes in pve) because that’s the style i like to play, so i spec into curses line because its the condition one, my problem is that with terror moving on to grandmaster i dont have any trait i want to chose in the master lines of curses…
I don’t want reapers precision because i get a lot of life force already i have no problem at all keeping it up.
Path of corruption is underwhelming and just not very usefull
And i don’t use warhorn so banshees wail is out of question.

On the other hand all of the grandmasters are condition related… So can we please get terror back to master or one of the others? maybe parasitic contagion (even if u have to put some numbers down)

I agree completely … We need more varied armor for male characters… Boys also like to have fun Anet…

I loved the joke…

I’ve been thinking the same…
And yes longer day/nights with some different mobs and events, day/nights synchronized across all maps and introduction of seasons (like 3 months seasons that would also change the maps in some ways) would be perfection…

Well i agree that burning should definitely affect environmental objects.

And let’s not forget the actual policy in Russia toward homosexuality… I mean we have a lesbian couple as main characters and we could consider the entire sylvari race as bisexual…

Politics irl have no place in GW2. Agreed mod?

I think he means that it might lead to the game getting banned, shunned, frowned upon and/or getting special age limits. It wouldn’t be the first time, if you look at the Sims 4, for an example, which got a 18+ rating due to possible homosexual content (even though you don’t see anything happening except the jumping in bed). (not saying that Russia is alone in this)

That’s precisely what i meant… It is technically against the law to be homosexual in Russia so one might assume that the game would be banned….

It is NOT against the law to be homosexual in Russia. The law that people refer to bans “homosexual propaganda” from being advertised in public places, such as posters or billboards. Another interesting fact is that nobody has as of yet been convicted of breaking this law.

Please educate yourself before making outrageous claims on subjects you know nothing about, lest you be seen as a brainwashed mouthpiece for whatever tabloid you read. Good day.

First of all, homosexual propaganda doesn’t exist… As homosexuality is not something you can buy, trade or acquire by any other means… Homosexuality is a fact, it exists… And as such is not advertised, it is simply showed. If you have a poster in a street with 2 men kissing, this is not a propaganda telling all men to kiss each other, this is a picture showing that some men like to kiss each other…
This “homosexual progaganda” is just a scapegoat and a way to mask the “homosexual reality is not permitted in russia.” law.
Can a gay couple kiss in public in russia? No
Can a gay couple walk holding hands in public in russia? No
Both situations can be seen as “homosexual propaganda”….
I know for sure that a Ramstein concert was interrupted and canceled in russia because they simulate gay sex on stage.

And second, even if no one has been convicted for breaking this law, the law is still there discriminating… And by the way has anyone been convicted by fisical or verbal aggression towards homosexual people? No? Well that makes me think that homophobia is not against the law in russia… So basically we get to the same point… IT IS against the law to be homosexual in russia…
I consider myself very educated on the subject, thank you very much…

Can a gay couple kiss in public in russia? Yes
Can a gay couple walk holding hands in public in russia? Yes

You are clearly under some sort of delusian that homosexuality is illegal. It is not. There is no law forbidding homosexuality.

Also, do you know how many archaic and discriminatory laws are still on the books in many other countries in the world, including the states, and are not enforced?

The situations that you stated do NOT actually fall under “homosexual propaganda” believe it or not.

And you clearly are not in any way “educated” on this subject as the falsehoods you’ve claimed are taken directly out of the yellow press and not substantiated by facts.

Well the law forbids that any kind of information on homosexuality is given to under-18 people… This can be used in many ways… One can assume that having a public interaction is a form of information…
Can a gay couple kiss in public in russia? No, if there is a chance someone under 18 is seeing.
Can a gay couple walk holding hands in public in russia? No, if there is a chance someone under 18 is seeing.
So that’s basicaly everywhere…

“And even if it wasn’t forbidden by law directly is is indirectly.
And by the way has anyone been convicted by fisical or verbal aggression towards homosexual people? No? Well that makes me think that homophobia is not against the law in russia… So basically we get to the same point… IT IS against the law to be homosexual in russia… " This still stands

Are we forgetting the army of Istan, Kourna and the imperial guard of Cantha maybe?

And we have no idea of how many “pale trees” are in the world…
Just some toughs

Every single time i press the leave party button my client crashes… Is anyone else having this problem? is Anet aware of this?

Adept traits should be rewarded as leveling rewards, making the past level 40 leveling feel more rewarding and leaving only master and grandmaster traits to be unlocked trough some chores… Being a much reduced number of traits they could be unlocked by doing something that really haves something to do with that specific trait.
having the first traits rewarded as you level up also would let new players experiment on them and try different builds. This of course if master traits are unlocked by doing something appropriate for the level the player should start to use them.

I agree… Zaithan’s fight is the worst thing in this game.
Jus guive us a fight on land with a cut-in-half Zaithan after that key1 spaming

Agreed, Crests and geodes to the wallet… NOW

I really dislike the idea of heavy armor ritualist. Ritualists are scholars so keep them in light armor please.
I see that everyone is expecting a new class to be heavy armor just based on the 2-3-3 proportion we have now, but keep in mind that gw1 had 1 heavy, 1 medium and 4 light to start with and at the end it was 2 heavy, 3 medium, 5 light …

Kraitskin is in fact the only legendary i like (the weapon skin) that my characters could use…

Zoltreez.6435:

that does not sound prety good……..

But it’s not true… The game is much better now than it was an year and half ago… Surely the new dailys and the traits acquisition system needs to be improved but the npe is miles better now, the wardrobe system is perfect and the new maps feel better and different from what we had…

They also improved a lot on their ways to tell the story…

That being said, GW2 needs and expansion size of content.

I have one zodiak and one dreamthistle weapon unlocked that i never got. i also have one jade and one scelerite that i dont have on my wardrobe even tough i could have got those ones when they were first introduced… It would be strange tough that they could track that to be in our collection and not in the wardrobe… At least for the black lion collections they should ignore the fact that we didn’t have the weapon skin at the time of wardrobe introduction… these skins are expensive :S

I have some black lion weapons unlocked in my black lion collection that i don’t have unlocked in my wardrobe… Some times this incongruence is even in the same collection (for example in my collections i have both scelerite staff and rifle and i only have staff in my wardrobe). Anyone else experiencing this???

Sooooo… I’ve been collecting black lion ticket scraps for some months now to get a sclerite weapon skin… the last time i checked they were on sale for 3 black lion claim tickets… Now that i got them i go to weapon specialist and they are not there… Please please tell me this is a bug… Or what happened?? I’ve been collecting them for so long…

These are my suggestions to improve conditions mesmers in PVE.
Since last patch conditions build became almost a real option but I think they need a slight improvement.
The only weapons choice for conditions mesmers is staff & scepter/torch so I’ll have those in mind for this suggestion.

Main problems:
(1) Scepter skill 1 chain depends too much on domination trait line to deal damage (while the build asks points in illusions and inspiration/chaos)
(2) Counterspell blindness effect is not very useful.
(3) Torch is in general underpowered in pve.

Suggestions to skills:
- Either bolt should cause vulnerability (this should help Problem 1) or cause torment/ confusion.
- Either Blast should have it’s damage reduced and cause torment or confusion.
- Counterspell should cause daze (like the sword counterblade).
- Phantasmal Mage should cause weakness in addition to confusion (GW1 empathy)
- The appearance/disappearance effect of prestige could remove boons on enemies.
- The appearance effect could even cause chill.

Suggestions to traits:
Illusionary Elasticity – Should affect Phantasmal Disenchanter.
Shattered Strength – Should grant a boost to condition duration (5%) (this would also help to reduce the need for domination trait line and because it’s being moved to grandmaster tier it needs a little extra something)
Chaotic Dampening – Toughness increase should be higher or grant a boost to condition duration.

Can i add the confusion duration bonus of rune of perplexity to the list of bugs to be looked at?
I think they really aren’t working and i’d really like to try that rune on my mesmer.

The confusion duration bonus of this rune doesn’t seem to be working. Can anyone confirm this? Is Anet aware of the problem?

Cheers

I would like to suggest a simple change to the cultural armor npc sellers. They should accept the armor pieces they sell as payment for the armor or at least guive you the money you sepend in return.
This way If someone makes a mistake (like i did) and buys a medium armor piece when they wanted a light or heavy armor they could just change for the piece they originaly wanted…
The tier 3 armors are very expensive and if you make a mistake you are left with an armor piece that you dont want/can’t use/can’t sell … This is extremely frustating and could be easealy solved with this suggestion.
Like in the example i gave, If i’ve made a mistake and bought the medium armor instead of the light armor i wanted I could guive the npc the medium armor in return for the light version…

Hello all
So I just spent 20 gold (my whole savings) in a cultural tier3 silvary armor (head piece) and i made a terrible mistake… I bought the medium armor version when i wanted the light version… My only silvary character is a necromancer so i have no use for the armor piece i just spent all my money in….
I can’t sell it, The npc that sold it to me only guives me 2 gold in return (it cost me 20) and doest have an option to change the armor.

What can I do ????
