Guild Wars 2

KarlaGrey.5903:

I wish to declare I am in FULL support of the skill cost.
As a matter of fact, I’d take a step further and add more – 1 G &10 laurels ontop of the 25 SP cost sounds perfect. After all, they’re easily obtainable just by playing the game.
x)

I guess you bought all 8 char slots. Alot of us havent and we like to delete our 5th char slot to make a class we dont normally play.

This game is turning into a B2P its not good.

I guess your just trolling tho so thanks but dont please.

Gwalchgwn.1659:

Not sure anyone suggested this yet but
Use glory and buy 25 level ups?

300k glory + 40g to obtain all the new heals. And you understand alot of us remake chars because we want to play another class because not everyone has 8 char slots.

Read before you pst. No1 wants to spend all their glory when they can turn it into gold and how long does it take to get 300k glory?

Ya remove it for now atleast. Us pvpers dont have any money to spend on the game anyways your just stopping us from switching classes.

ITS NOT COOL ANET

Still no dev response. We need some way to change the progression of this passive meta!!!

Josh Davis.6015:

I just wanted to stop by and let you guys know that we are listening. We’re looking at a few different ways to address the time investment it currently takes to get new skills in PvP, but it’s not something we’re able to talk about quite yet.

You’ll see a drastically different system in place in our next major rewards release that should address many of your concerns.

Ok pm me when I can play again thanks. 1 or 2 months?

Cant they just be removed until you figure it out, thats not hard if you ask me?

300k GLORY + 40g omg thats insane + $30 cash for gems ontop the box cost since you need 3 more char slots.

WHY IS ANET DOING THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They want us to pay money, ITS THE ONLY POSSIBLE REASON! They give us pvpers almost nothing over the past year then charge us for extra things when we bought the box and just want to play the game and cant when this happens.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have 4 chars already and if I want to play another class I have to keep deleting my 5th and replay the 1st quest and now I need to get 25 skill points on top of it.

Alot of us dont have 8 char slots so we delete a char when we want to play another class. DO NOT FORCE US INTO PAYING MONEY FOR EXTRA CHARS SLOTS ITS SO LAME.

Any1 else do this?

Please Anet reset them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ya wtf?
15 15 15 15 15 chars

well this patch is pretty funny game isnt improving any :/

So what should we do to stop this craziness from happening?

no this is the only skillful thing in the game right now!

Lol right XD
I cant wait for the new elites, going with the past 6 months of balancing and the recent heal skill they ought to be funny.

But but everyone reacts to healing signet with more healing signet!!

oh gawd, those heals were not tested properly!! Glad we know the livestream is making a joke of them!

Im scared to see just how OP all the passives are going to be!

Pretty sure they are covering their ears and not letting in any light

Prolly 6 months cause we still dont see a fix for dhuumfire.

Spirit rangers ahhhhhhhhhhh

Why are they doing this!!!?!?!

Who cares the amounts? Its another passive skill to go along with spamming your skills as fast as you can wars. Which is hurting the game if you didn’t know.

How long will that change take? They haven’t changed dhuumfire and its near 6 months. You really think once they are in game it will be changed anytime soon?

check reddit or google
http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/

Your right it could be much worse. It goes along with what the devs have been doing. Leaving war heal OP for so long and trying to balance by giving passives to the other 6 classes. This can’t make the game better in the state its already in…

Open your eyes people.

Chicago Jack.5647:

anymore.

when was it?

So they added 6 more classes (now all 8 with the warrior & ele) getting another passive skill.
So far the community I feel has been lets say ‘not liking’ the warriors healing signet.
Now to balance this GW2 has decided to add 6 more classes with similar type skills.

I believe this is hurting the game, when we’ve already been asking for less passive.
Devs can make jokes about “here comes the petting zoo” which Isn’t fun watching the mist league live stream tournament of them bashing their own game. Then add more pets+passive?

What can we do to show them this is not the right course? GW2 is making the game more passive (granted its their game) But they want to make a game enjoyable and not mindless passive+spam, no?

Discuss ideas on how to fix this since my last most recent post was deleted for not being contributive.

Ghostcrawler is available for hire I believe. He would be a great asset for this game…

@gallrvaghn
lol Im theory craft speaking here. Im referring to the supposed highest skill cap for thief and ele. The potential is there and they generally have the best chance. :p but lol a way your playing mesmer

I do play ele and necro.
I ran the build about 10 games in the top 100 Team Q as well, lets say thief was a problem. With the dmg boost from going for Tempest defense everyone will be running 30 air and 10 in arcana

It doesn’t need 30 in fire, its only 300 power. You can run forge runes mist/armor of earth w/e you want for defense but tempest defense is gonna go along way.
And the main point is blasting staff is OP along with static aura.

Ill say staff ele will be the 2nd best viable class for berserker amulet behind staying in stealth as a thief, since ele has so many skills + tempest defense 25s!

@Zenith
Guardian stability is short. So your saying as a thief you always wait for the guard to throw stability on you then go 1200r away to kill the ele? Lyssa is the only way to get around the static aura for the theif but its twice as long. + not its not always the basilisk opener. Static aura comes out on s/d daze.

Thief is the only class that causes trouble for this spec.
The only way to catch up to ele is with another blink. As thief always uses bow, makes it the only problem.

Once you know the blink locations, Warrior, engi and necro aren’t really a threat.

Thief is the main problem for this spec. With a 25 static aura is far superior to frozen aura……, 10% dmg reduction or the chill is why you think its good? +its a simple blast off frozen ground.

I did mention the specific spec here and thanks for your interest with the ideas/counters. But the main point is the huge buff to blasting staff which opens tempest defense along with a grandmaster trait getting its CD cut more than in half is HUGE.

Its starting to feel like dhuumfire, Devs not knowing what they are doing. Missing specs like longbow warrior and throwing to many buffs not having enough testing/testers. They need to be quicker and smaller balances.

@Avead
ya 13vs4. How much have you played ele, just wondering? Ive played ele and necro prolly 50/50
I find marks much weaker, dodging into them and such. So Id say marks miss much more than eles aoe.
Again I hate comparing them but its the only thing similar.

Chilblains 180r 20cd vs frozen ground 300r 40cd. 2x the CD but it covers the point and cant be dodged+being instant.
The games conquest and when something covers a capture point and only requires you to invest 10 effecting 13 skills is huge change right there.

Again they nerfed necros greater marks from a 10 cost to 20. We are seeing the opposite with something obviously more powerful. For build diversity lol?

@zenith Ele fights 1200r away so interesting youd say that. Lyssa is every 50s with basilisk, static is every 25s on daze or stun. So I wouldn’t quite say its null.
Im just not sure how Lily thought ele became more squish with the next patch, fill me in tho. Static aura is going to come up more than twice as much.

LegendaryLukeee.1462:

So you’ll die even quicker to a S/D theif, hurray!

Not sure what you read, but nowhere did I mention after the buff elementalist would be easier to kill. How’d you even come to that conclusion lol. The freed extra 10 point gives a 4sec static aura on a 25sec CD, which is a huge survivability buff.

Nice trolling thanks

I just think blasting staff shouldn’t be a 10 point investment for effecting 20 skills. Poor necro greater marks

What was meant to be said was
“Staff ele’s will now be able to get blasting staff from tier one and now be capable of going for a trait such as Tempest Defense & high up in the Fire line, Power Metas back baby!!”

~~VIDEO~~ I didn’t even have time to use frost bow
3v1 at keep 7 seconds YOUTUBE

So you can say what you want about staff elementalist right now and it may be a joke playing 30/20/0/0/20.
Although try imagining that video or that picture of 4.3k with the following buffs in a team fight;
30/30/0/0/10
Fire Magic: Burning rage (25) 5% more dmg.
Air magic: 10% higher crit dmg + 100 precision +Weak spot (25) vulnerability (easily 5-10%) +Tempest Defense +20% dmg w/4sec static shield 25s CD.
+Lets say eagle runes as a joke (because the video and picture are w/o runes) so add + 165 precision + 8% crit dmg +5% dmg. ALL at 77% crit chance.

They have stated numerous times that they are trying to shave specs or classes down. Why are we seeing such huge buffs?
Moving blasting staffs from 20 to 10. THE SKILL EFFECTS 20 SKILLS VS 4!! They nerfed necros greater marks from adept(10) to master(20) because it was OP and only affected 4 skills. Blasting staffs is going to break the game lol.

Why nerf greater marks and buff blasting staffs when the skill is 5x more powerful? I know you cant compare the same trait on different classes but you can see how OP it is!?

Picture: 1 hit of firestorm 4.3k

The spoiler is extra just showing how high the numbers can add up (OP is about blasting staff which is my main discussion point) Thanks

Next you’ll ask for them to remove fear stacking. After that you’ll ask for burning duration to not stack, when does it all stop? They either rework all the stacking because its not fair to make only 1 skill not stack and leave all the others.

Bring more condi cleanse or reroll imboa kings like the rest of us

As long as it takes.

It feels like 5v5 hotjoin otherwise. So just hotjoin or WvW while you wait. Its no fun losing or even winning a Solo Q game that feels like a hotjoin.

Id like the better quality when picking a team to do like you said “2 warriors at most”. I wouldn’t mind if a solo team for some reason decided to have someone switch to a 3rd warrior. I just hate seeing 4 guardians on my team and it already being GG.

cool beans
/15

Patch hit and miss.
Whens the next patch?
You guys think they’ll fix it then or devs are really waiting till WvW season tournament is over in December to fix immobilize?

@Lupanic
The immobilize stacking is what Im wondering about.

Do we know if they are waiting till the WvW season tournament is over 12/5 until they do any balance and fix immobilize stacking?

Can we get more imboa QQ threads? create your own after replying here. Leave a link to your own topic when you do.

Is immobilize going to get fixed or are they not doing any balance updates/patches because it might break the WvW season tournament?

I don’t want to wait till 12/5 until this WvW stuff is over till we get more patches

Condi’s/Passive spam isnt very fun.

Exactly. Nobody understands it or they dont care about getting dishonorable.
Anet wasted alot of time so far developing it and as soon as we heard about it/release date we all said it wasn’t going to work, but they put it in anyways and months later we still have the same problem.

Its like fixing a non existent water pipe by replacing it with 1 made out of duck tape. When building a water pipe would have been cheaper and saved time. AND WE WOULD ALL HAVE WATER!

Wow so many afkers 2day

the new patch is amazing is he ever coming back?

Was it that players were leaving, or just not showing up?

@Allie Murdock

“Its prolly about 50-26-24.
50% leavers Quit or never joined
26% afk or DC for 3-4mins at the start just to come back to avoid the dishonor buff! LOL
24% who afk at spawn the whole game.”

@NevirSayDie
That sounds like a possible solution with an alteration or 2. Something like playing 10 matches per week to stay on the LBs to refresh decay, cause 1 should not be able to refresh DECAY thats silly.

Right now changing the LBs to show the top 1000 with highest glory rank would be better then having this LB that encourages you to not play. X.X

& I dont think I made it sound as drastic as it is.
You can win 8 games and go up 20 LB ranks and lose 1 and go down 21 LB ranks.
So its more like win 8 games and gain 40 mmr and losing 1 game you can lose 41 mmr

Also currently the system matches up 5 similarly ranked players who could happen to be rank 1-5 and then matches together then next group of 5 which happen to be rank 100 or beyond.
They said they are currently working on grabbing 10 players and trying the randomization idea or some other fix.

@beastjk
Currently yes you can not play and easily become rank 1 after losing a game if you havent played for a week-month.

The reason for this is as follows:
You stop playing and your mmr stays at lets say 2000 rank 101
Decay beings lets say after 1 week and you lose 10 points (Now remember decay loss is only temporary and will refresh those 10 points when you play another game.)

Now those facts seem to be true. And heres the sad part:

Those top 100 are currently anywhere between 2001-2050 hidden mmr.
So if those 100 players keep playing/fighting over the top spots in reality over the week their mmr is slowly decreasing because they win 1 game and getting lets say 5 mmr points but everytime they lose 1 game they lose 6 mmr points.

So thats why azshene and the Gotmight are rank 1. Since they don’t play and dont lose mmr when decay is only temporary and only need to play 1 game played every 2 weeks or so.

That means its smarted to not play which alot of people are doing but never caught onto the fact quick enough so, Azshene and Gotmight will forever have the highest mmr’s in SoloQ

@Bhawb

Oh trust me I wasn’t irresponsible or careless, great trolling tho.
You know the intent of the post.

“Quote this part next time you respond” Colin was blatantly avoiding the players inquiry about PvP rewards in his quote to Hooma saying he accomplished all 3 goals he set for himself; Spectator/LBs/CustomArenas and not saying a word about evaluating Pvp rewards for the past 10 months, which they said they were doing in the news article.

You and Colin both knew Hoomas concern and are picking at the word promise.

When you address the community in a news letter saying “Your going to do something” and signing it at the bottom, its the same as promising that or a contract.

The final result of this topic is as follows.
The 1% population of this game who PvPs is in the ghetto part of the city with a broken/leaking home.

We got 3 things fulfilled from January;

1. $20 Custom arenas; you need to pay real money or grind hours of Pve to obtain
2. Spectator mode; I think I heard was worse than GW1 in anycase is bad for shoutcasting.
3. LBS; Which is easier to obtain rank 1 if you don’t play for a month since every1s mmr is decreasing.
   I Felt more progression in Halo PvP rank than glory rank or any rewards GW2 has currently.
   All my friends are 20 ranks higher than me since I decided not to skyhammer farm with them.

Simply put we are missing progression from PvP. Its still more fun than Wow I guess, that ghostcrawler I tell ya…..
