You ruined the jumping puzzle by not allowing people to join as a party. What were we going to do? Give each other tips that were too helpful? Good job Anet. My friends and I were actually looking forward to that.
Great, Anet trolling light users once again.
A flimsy skirt? Seriously… Again?
Just pants or GTFO. Not going to bother with these even if they gave them for free.
Oh please; let’s all be honest here. Sooner or later every single one of us will be going after a set of ascended armor. We’ll just also be stocking up on fine transmutation stones when we do. It is in the nature of the MMO player; sooner or later the addiction to larger numbers wins out. And the only thing that will stop you from getting Ascended armor is legendary armor.
Seriously? When they were first anounced, I thought at first I was actually going to get a set of ascended weapons. Completely changed my mind when I saw how freaking ugly they were. I will absolutely NOT (let me emphasize this) n-o-t, NOT be getting this armor. It’s not worth my time.
Both of my hands are on my hammer. I’m the bulky/not fat body type on max height. But I do notice the weapon warping sometimes, it only seems to effect the weapon (all weapons) when it’s being held idly, not in the middle or a running or swinging animation.
The norn are much better in that they look healthy… but they’re still made to look sexy while the norn men aren’t.
I find this offensive. Just because Norn men don’t fit into the standard human proportions they’re not sexy? This is a very racist, human-centric, view of Norn.
Halloween is coming up, and Scarlet is still at large. Am I the only one who would love the Oct 29 update to revolve around Scarlet and MK having a little supper villain war?
Hmm. Myself and a few others on my server had a few problems with GS/wh ss roaming warriors a week or so ago on our server. I was going to post some of our solutions to catching them, but on my way to the bottom I had the mispleasure of reading the rest of op’s posts.
Don’t come here if you just want to try and make an kitten of yourself. That’s easy enough to do in game. If you decide that you do want actuall advice, feel free to come back with a better attitude than that.
I don’t thinly Norn is the right race for you. I just have a feeling. But hey, you know what’s cool these days? Humans! All of the cool people play humans. You definitely should join their ranks and not ours, because you’ll be happier there.
It’s obvious they look the same, but it’s hard for me to really draw conclusions about that when it’s set in a world that doesn’t even exist.
All of this! Reality! You aren’t real. You can’t be here.
Maybe they did that to make the little homage to Miyamoto easier to find?
Ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
With Lions Arch, the Lion guard, the Black Lion trading company, and a hand full of other examples, I’ve been wondering where the actual lions are. I’ve never seen one in game myself. Are they something that was only in the original Guild Wars?
Anybody else know if they can be found? And if they are in game, then where can they be found?
I made the 100th post.
For me, the first couple of major updates this game had we’re promising. They added a lot of (albeit temporary) good content. Things you didn’t need to do, but did anyway because it was fun.
Now I fear patches.
I play this game for the WvW and have always viewed PvE as bonus content, something I could do for a change of pace. Now I feel like Anet is shoving a monstrous amount of PvE garbage down my throat. Not only does nothing added excite me anymore, but most of it makes me upset. Like ascended weapon crafting. I want nothing to do with a boring kitten crafting grind, but I need to do it or I’ll fall behind in the WvW scene.
I’m being pushed away from a game I want to love, but cant. In all honesty if nothing changes I’m gonna leave. The only reason I haven’t left yet is the lack of a modern large scale Pvp fantasy game. It’s looking like ESO will just come in and blow GW out of the water. At least in terms of large scale PvP. I wish it wouldn’t, but if this game just turns into a giant PvE grind then it certainly will.
Please pull your head out of your kitten Anet.

Mindtrick has been taking an 8 day bath. Impressive.
That would require being evil, which is a big no-no in GW2.
I like my weapons to look like WEAPONS. These things look like I pulled an ornament off of a wall and decided to fight with it.
106 gold is totally not worth it. If you run fractals, just get your free ascended back piece (though it takes quite some time). If you don’t, the difference between exotic and ascended on the slot with the least stats is completely insignificant anyway.
Not really “free”. Thats hours and hours of grind time I could have spent doing other things. It would take me less time to go out and get a part time job and just buy enough gems to convert to 106 gold.
Either way, I figured I’d put off the back piece until after I have ascended weapon sets, its better in the long run.
Unlike most other ascended items, ascended back pieces are around double the stats of their exotic counterparts. That’s why it might be worth it.
Guild Assassin’s Backpack + Exquisite Ruby Jewel:
47 Power
31 Precision
4% Crit DamagePrototype Fractal Capacitor + Ascension:
54 Power
35 Precision
5% Crit DamageWho told you they had double the stats?
Double base stats is what I meant. At least for soldiers gear, I haven’t researched any other stat combos.

So I’ve been putting off getting an ascended back piece for a long, long, long time. I was about halfway there for awhile, but sold most of my mats to get some gold for skins.
But now ascended weapons are coming out.
I don’t have 400 weapon smithing on any of my toons yet, so I’d have to sink about 20 gold into that to begin with. On top of that, I’ve got all these t6 mats I’m gonna need to buy … The bill is getting bigger and bigger.
I’ve done the math, a back piece will come out to about 106 gold. Probably a lot more for an ascended GS.
So, is it worth it more in the short term to get a back piece, or a weapon first?
What about warriors? They’re kittenin useless in spvp, but one of the top classes in WvW. Should we knock warriors down to only being usefull running zerker gear in dungeons?
WvW is not intended to be completely balanced and fair. Some people have poured a lot of hours into “training” their charecter, i.e. acquiring equipment, runes, and food. As a reward for all that work, now they are much better than Joe Blow, who has been playing for all of two weeks on his new thief but will totally /laugh and /dance on your body if only he could have the opportunity.
How about we give golems two modes, siege mode and anti personnel mode.
Basically give golems two diferent ability bars that you can toggle between with a long cool down or cast time in between them.
Anti personnel mode should focus on sustaining heavy single target damage, and medium to low AOE damage. Imagine if a ballista and an arrow cart had a baby with legs. Also an anti golem missile or beam or something would be good. So golems can counter each other.
And of course siege mode should be good at bashing down gates, or taking out cannons and oil in the case of omegas.
Thoughts?
Bro this is such a necro
you should play a necro
necroing kitten is in your blood
that’s why you don’t like warriors
It is true that the thief should win 1v1 vs every other class though, cuz we’re the dueling/roaming profession. And we’re pretty bad in everything else so it’s fair, don’t you think?
No. No I do not think.
Thief is the STEALTH and STEALING class. A lot of people have come up with ways to turn those mechanics to their favor when it comes to roaming. These tactics have worked out well so far.
You are not, nor ever will you be, ENTITLED to just WIN 1v1.
This idea you have that thieves should just be the best 1v1 class because you deserve it, is disgusting.
I’m having the same issue as op. Except for me it only stopped working in the past few days. Also sometimes the little circle will just go away and show me the U.I.
Also note: I’m running GW on Windows 7, on a mac
WvW players have to go out and do PvE to get map completion, a hell of a lot more unpleasant content for us to push through than there is for you to do.
What about stacking up sigil of perception kills instead of a little bit of knight gear? 25 mobs aren’t that hard to find.
Or maybe couple that with a knight equivalent weapon?
All classes have a counter for hills, all you people crying just need to l2p the game.
I run hammer /GS in full PVT gear with soldiers runes and azurite trinkets and 0/0/30/20/20 for traits. My question is; should I be running full sentinel gear instead? Damage isn’t that high right now so would it be better to go balls to the walls full frontline tank? Anyone have experience using both sets?
It should make the warrior immune to the target. Also root the target for 20 minutes. And make the target drop 15 gold on death.
I think the F1 should be a difficult-to-land 1 hit kill. An execute skill. Maybe a rooted 4s cast time.
One can not simply pay for a profession switch?
Did you happen to see something in the gem store that suggested that? Also why are you asking that in the warrior sub forum? Were you under the impression that people would come here to learn how to not be a warrior?
Yes please to 2-handed axes.
2-handed axes for Warriors, Necros, and Guardians. I was really disappointed the first time I heard they weren’t going to be in the game.
Still keeping fingers crossed for “stop hiding coward!” shout that does aoe reveal for 10s on any stealthed target.
“Show yourself!” seems more appropriate. If Anet added this and made warriors the answer to camps-a-lot perma stealth thieves then I would be so happy. Finally warriors would have a purpose beyond Zerg CC in WvW.
I leveled my main through WvW. I was underpowered, unskilled, and squishy. I got killed a lot. Now that I’ve been 80 long enough to gear myself properly and learn my class, I have earned the right to be on the other side of the sword.
I want the unbalance.
I like the fact the in a zerg it’s possible for me to outshine the people around me because I have better stats.
But what I hate, is people making 4 or more alts and then kittening about how hard it is to have each one of them running full ascended gear.
Still broken you guys. Still.
Still.
I noticed that too. A similar texture was on my kitten when I was using the pit fighter set of armor, and again when i was using the berserker set. My theory is it’s a fall back texture for when some part of the model that isn’t intended to be viewed, is.
That’s exactly it.
I just read the hint up there that a lot of players will run the sanctum almost daily for the “free targets”. I can say from experience, that this is simply not true for the more succesful servers in WvW (I’m playing on a top-3 server in Europe). On a succesful server you’ll find find a lot of resentments against running the jumping puzzle because there are a lot more “free” badges in open combat than in the JP.
To me this seems to be the classical case of the man who gets yelled at by his boss and then yells at his wife at home, who yells at the kids, who kick the dog, which barks at the cat, etc.
The servers that aren’t as succesful in WvW simply resort to the jumping puzzle to farm people who aren’t interested in PvP and who aren’t supported by their servers who are actually doing fine in WvW.
It’s grief play, if you want to put it drastically. But that’s what it is. And it’s encouraged/supported by the unneccesary achievment.
Are you certain it’s not just because you’re on a European server? It’s my experience that people are more chivalrous on the other side of the pond.
‘Cause my server’s been all the way up to tier two, and there is always SOMEONE camping in the sanctum. It’s always a great place to pick up kills (as long as you know what you’re doing) because of all the Zerg builds running through along with the PvE people trying to farm badges for legendaries.
the puzzle is extremely easy on any char if you utilize the perma stealth fountains located at 3 different places.
Achievements being equally distributed for all player types is the best way to go, which is exactly what anet is doing.A lot of wvw players can cry about achievements only being put in open world but they don’t so quit crying every time an achievement is added for Wvw players.
This isn’t a WvW achievement though. This is a JP achievement in the midst of WvW.
The sad part is, it’s not even that any longer, since it has become its own map. It’s just a jumping puzzle with PvP enabled that’s coincidentally accesible through the Eternal Battlegrounds (and rewards WvW stuff, I’ll give it that).
It’s a nuisance for PvE and WvW players alike.
PvE palyers don’t like it because it’s PvP.
WvW players don’t like it, because the PvE crowd takes up server space transfering to the puzzle.
The only people who truly enjoy it are those who get a kick out of bashing players who are neither equiped for nor interested in PvP battles.
WvW players must only feel that way on very high population PvE servers. Whenever PvE people have to go to my server’s sanctum we just feed on the free kills. Badges rain from corpses like mana from heaven.
Huge tip coming from someone who camps sanctum:
Ask you’re server when you get in if there’s someone you can tag along with. A lot of people run the puzzle at least once a day (sometimes more) for the chest and the “free” kills. They’ll show you things like the location of invisibility pools and shortcuts as well as provide protection.
An enemy actually invited me to a party during the aetherblade thing and asked a question about the dark room, so I showed her the rest of the way through the puzzle as well as called off the people we had camping the arena.
Why not do what WoW does with stealth and make distance a factor. When rouges get too close or stay still too long they just become hazed and non-auto targetable (as in you can still target them, but you have to click on them). Keep all stealth abilities the same, just change how stealth works.
It would be great if they added low to the ground mechanical steam-punk-like-mounts. Things like bikes, scooters, carts, or asuran tech hover boards. All instead of doing the the standard mmo style mount, the one that just changes your avatar and makes your walking speed faster, and instead making actual vehicles. Faster mounts could be difficult to turn, easy to turn mounts (like hover boards) would have really slow movement bonuses if any. Also bumping into solid terrain could cause you to"crash" and take damage. That way we could just add a new way to get around, instead of making any existing method inferior.

How much money would it take to make ArenaNet fix this issue next update? I would be willing to start a fundraiser.
Particle effects on the bow STILL disappear after one shot, would be good if this was fixed months after the problem came up.
I can 1v1 anyone (thieves included, but they hide 90% of the time before the kill). The only times I get flack is a Mesmer and someone else, or a ranger AND someone else. I don’t have any real issues that aren’t directly related to gear (in WvW).
All of the temples are bugged on Yak’s Bend. And it sounds like they’re all bugged everywhere else too. Still waiting for a reply regarding a fix in the Orr bug thread (Orr is very bugged)
