Guild Wars 2

Traced damage OP especially for rangers longbow skill #2. I make/play classes to find ways to kill them ^.^ Just kitten that warriors got the biggest nerf out of all the classes

Just a QQ’ing to bring other consequences to other classes. Don’t worry though, I’ll make other builds to find a way to kill you. All of you.

That is true, but most thieves don’t stay in their blind field. The ones that do, want classes to burst down in their field so they make themselves easy picking for the thief to kill them. Most thieves heart seeker anyway from their blind field and run off ^.^ Then once your health is at a good threshold, you go in guns blazing with Infiltrator’s Signet and/or Steal. So yes, the nerf to blinding powder is a big hit to those that milk the cheese out of that weapon set. I have a thief as well and I despise it just at how easy it is to kill someone in 1v1s or pick off people in 1v3s. It’s disgusting Vomiting to the point where I completely ditched dagger/pistol to go back into dagger/dagger so it’s a little harder to kill opponents or to flee in fear of losing my stacks. Going back to what vespers said, I am silly and Arena Net won’t totally nerf thieves. This nerf for black powder is a small, significant yes, but small hit to the capabilities to what Arena Net’s baby class can do.

You sir are right! I’m guessing they’re protecting the thief-main players out there from being kitten! I’ve always had to adapt to all the good and the bad changes for the warrior class. The adrenaline thing though hit me. Hit me right hurr in my hurt.

Oh and I can’t wait for the next update for the warrior class from Arena Net! Nerf cleansing ire so it gives less adrenaline Extend Signet of Fury cool down by another 10 seconds, nah, make it a minute more Burst Mastery? Delete the first feature and decrease the damage by 2%. Warrior’s done now, congratulations team! The adrenaline buff is by far, the biggest nerf you have all made to this class. Keep sinking the game more please! I’m getting tired of the crap anyways ^.^

With these nerfs coming to the warrior class, we’re about to be thrown AGAIN under the bus as a probable easy kill in either PvP and in WvW. I remember early on in the game that warriors were very easy to pick on, almost every class especially engineers and thieves can wreck us very easily. When we received some love in further updates, we were called OP when really, we had to find other ways to kill opponents i.e. crowd control and utilizing combo finishers. So why nerf adrenaline to the ground when it’s one of the things that are a necessity when fighting classes with a higher skill cap such as engineers AND lo and behold, the thieves that you, Arena Net, are so proud of? It’s great that you’re buffing rifle and OFFhand axe. In reality though, no one ever uses those weapons in any pvp or wvw setting as they are EASILY interrupted unless you activate a stability buff. The rampage update was nice as it is one of the community’s neglected skill, but also since it is one of my favorite elites. But with all these NERFS coming to the warrior class. It WILL cause detrimental harm to our all around game play. The CONSEQUENCE of missing an adrenaline skill reducing it back to 0 (keep some if you have Burst Mastery) will play a huge role because if/when we do miss our burst skill, we’re basically easy pickings for the OTHER classes who’ve recieved minor nerfs and better buffs. Hey Arena Net, smell the coffee and wake up, if we have to face CONSEQUENCES in missing a skill, how about give the same fate to other classes. Like…idk, one of your most treasured classes, thieves? It’s like you all are biased and favor a class more than the other This game is the FIRST game I have played where a stealthed person does NOT become REVEALED when hit by a skill. The stealth in this game is way TOO OverPowerful and as such, thieves milk the cheese ouf of it by spamming skills like blinding powder followed by a heartsweeker. INSTANT STEALTH and while they are running off getting out of combat, therefore resetting the fight. We warriors will be slowly but surely, losing our adrenaline making us VERY vulnerable by one of their cheap backstabs. CONSEQUENCES like the one I’m pushing for may not come out for this Class “Balance” update, but please do keep it in mind that stealth in this game is B R O K E N. For those who reading this and disagree, play other games and see for yourself that once hit while stealthed, you are REVEALED. I would hope to see this change to be brought in-game soon. If not, it will be VERY apparent that you favor this class more so than the promises for the warrior class YOU made before release. But hey, that’s one more promise that was broken huh? Thanks for reading! Now time to stow my warrior in PvE land!

Yay! Nerf warriors more and don’t touch thieves and their OverPowerful stealth! Good job Anet!

I turned in a ticket, I do hope they read it and refund me sword back. Here’s hoping >.<

Thank you for supporting the cause Shadow! And Astral Projections, will do that right now.

This may or may not be the exact place I should be ranting on, but I just did something totally accidental today and it quite worries me about the rest of my items that are very sentimental to me. As the title says, I just accidentally deleted my ascended sword that I have gotten from a WvW rank-up chest. The only issue that I have with this whole situation is that I, and many, MANY OTHERS, believed that in order to delete an ascended armor/weapon or legendary, it requires the user to type out the name of the item in order to delete it. I of course QQ’d about my dilemma to the guild I am currently in now and they too have thought that one must type to delete an ascended armor/weapon as well as legendary weapons. I know I just stated that twice, but my mind and my nerves are a little wrecked, or rekt, at the moment. Now, I originally intended to drag/delete the empyreal fragments that I had in my inventory that were right next to my ascended sword (quite funny I know…). Well, my pointer was hovered over my sword, millimeters away from those accursed empyreal fragments and knowing the placement of the “Okay” confirmation button, I whipped my wrist to the right just enough so where I can press Okay button right away. I IMMEDIATELY realized my blunder as my jaw, as well as a piece of my ethereal soul, came crashing down to the floor. Now, I am very worried that this may happen to any item of mine that are either ascended or legendary. I would like my sword to be refunded if possible….if not, I would like the “type to delete stuff of ascended tier or higher” feature to be implemented. I have already written two reports in-game under “Support” and “Report A Bug.” I know this isn’t a bug, but it’s bugging me out! Anyways, I just wanted to state my blunder and how I am worried that this could happen to anything of high value that belongs to my account.

I agree with this post 100%. It doesn’t help the fact that the Mystic Toilet RNG got shadow nerfed. I put 4 exotic 80s in and I got a lvl 75 or 76 item back. It’s been happening a lot lately and it defers me from playing the game as I want to create the legendaries I want to wield. I don’t want to grind my life away just to save up a 1000 gold to buy the precursor then 1.5-2k more to buy everything else. At the moment, it is impossible since the chances of getting a precursor just keeps getting lower and lower. Also, I REMEMBER before the actual release of this game that the head dev or whatever said that this game, THIS GAME, won’t be grindy at all and that classes can wield a wider array of weapons than we currently have now. So what happened to that huh Arena Net? #emptypromises

I’m getting these error messages too and what a moderator will say are instructions to fix it ourselves. Deleting a file, and repairing the client as a whole. What the heck? With the amount of updates you Arena Net do, they can’t fix this simple issue for players? I have missed out on SO MANY chests/bonus chests. Will they reimburse me for what I should have earned but lost? There’s always hoping and praying, but I’m sure they’re all far too busy to look at the many reports I have made in-game. I have turned in 20 or so and not a single thing has been replied. Thanks you ignorant buttheads!!!

Children QQ’ing. Get better. If not, quit and play another game. Simple as that.

Child, you need to stop complaining and get better. I could prove that everything you’ve listed down as bullocks but that’d be a great waste of my time seeing how children like you are going to continue bickering about how warriors are “OP.” Oh and if you’ve forgotten what the DEFINITION of a warrior is, go into game and type /wiki warrior. All your childish rants shall be answered just by reading the first sentence of what DEFINES a warrior.

Warrior changes make me sad seeing my favorite weapon is the hammer. I don’t see why the damage output of it has to be nerfed seeing how it is very CLEAR when a warrior is loading up for an Earth shaker or Staggering Blow. Players complaining for their inability to dodge and read movements make the game less fun seeing how their whining takes away from the experienced players. Now excuse me, need to make a new build and armor set to make-up for these NERFS.

These nerfs are the outcome of people complaining to much on the forums….Thiefs complain about warriors, rangers complain about everything, and eles wallow themselves into a deeper hole of sadness.
Why can’t we just play the game as it is? If it’s “unfair” that should tell you to get your gear/traits right and stop complaining. Play the kitten game and stop whining at each aspect about a class that you hate fighting against. Heck, next nerf might be to remove weapon swapping since it’s not fair to have two weapons. kitten COME ON!

All I’m feeling from OP are a lot of QQs and a lot of “I should have done Fractals and my dailies more so I can get ascended gear.” Typical “It’s not fair, he’s out DPSing me bull crap.” This should just push you to go get ascended gear instead of whining about it. Honestly, this is an MMO, not some FPS game where everyone is “equal.”

This happens quite often. You guys need to step your game up.

If these devs really do intend to put Berserker’s Power and Heightened Focus in the Grandmaster trait, then you’re really asking warriors to be more glass-like than ever. Since a warrior without any of those two traits will do considerably less damage, it will ruin their title of DPS king in pve. Therefore making warriors having to max out either Strength and/or Discipline. If this is a ploy to get warriors to stop using Greatswords, then good job, it’ll be achieved. Reading the “supposed” patch list, it seems like they’re leaning towards the light-armor classes i.e. NECROS and mesmers. OT: Also, why make thieves more powerful than they already are. You devs are so one-sided it makes me sick. SICK!

tmakinen.1048:

After thinking about it for a while a simple solution would be to change the system as following:

Instead of the current recipe

4 x item -> 1 x item

with a probability of p for the resulting item being a precursor, make it as

4 x item -> precursor_shard (probability q) OR 1 x (non-precursor) item (probability 1 – q)

and make precursors available through the recipe

m x precursor_shard + fancy_stuff -> precursor (guaranteed)

By setting q / m = p the expectation value of a precursor stays the same as before. However, instead of an exponential distribution, the system now follows a binomial distribution, with a significantly smaller variance.

In simpler terms, it would be just like the system used for crafting mystic clovers. Can you imagine what it would be like if the only mystic clover recipe had a 1/250 chance of producing 77 clovers in one go, and 249/250 chance of producing random junk?

The suggested solution gives the system a coarse memory through the accumulation of shards, and cuts out worst excesses in both directions. In that system it’s still in average just as hard to get a precursor as before, but now that hardness is reasonably fair.

If only this great institution of higher gaming could accept that probable equation of probability.

“Higher level and rarity increases chances of Precursor chance.” Hmmm……well that can’t be true. Ms. Arena Net Agent I would like to tell you that I’ve spent 400 gold (FOUR HUNDRED) buying mats and making them into LEVEL 80 rares. That’s how you’re “supposed” to do it right? Well…that method is wrong. It’s also not like I’ve delved into my crazy mind thinking of patterns and ways to get better precursor chances or anything, right? Well I did, and by doing so made me buy TONS of Potent Blood (the most expensive t5 mat) THINKING that rares with zerker stats, which are most valuable in the game (yes I’m reffering to Ms Arena Net Agent’s statement of rarity and level) will have a better chance to attain Precursors since they have zerker stats. But I guess it’s not that either since I still have nothing to show the family or to my guild who are always asking me why I don’t have any legendaries yet. So NOW, I’ve moved to the decision of throwing the exotics I’ve gotten from my crappy luck I guess, and throw those into the forge to see if anything pops out. I close my eyes, and click. What comes out? A weapon that costs less than any of the 4 I’ve put in. LIKE REALLY!? So…for the Arena Net agent reading and sometimes replying to some of our comments. WHAT AM I TO DO NOW? I mean those caps b/c I’m sincerely asking, “What the hell do I have to do to attain the precursor I want so I can start my end game in Guild Wars 2.” No I’m not buying it, because I am NOT falling prey into those scumbag’s scheme for making more money than what they already have. I’m really running out of options. Every time I come back to read to an arena agent’s replies in this thread, the more I believe that there have been alterations in the Mystic Forge. Which ultimately discourages players as I have known some to completely quit this “Best Game of The Year” to go off and play a childish MMORPG saying that it is a much better lifestyle there.

So, Ms. Arena Net Agent, what should I do now? Now that I’m almost completely broke and dumbfounded as to what I am supposed to do to attain what I want. Please enlighten me.

Honestly, from the way they’ve been doing things. Whatever they’re going to do with precursors will inevitably increase the prices. Unless it’s gonna be some great giveaway. Which I dream off, but highly doubt. Prices for precursors are bonkers as it is already, I can’t see how they’re going to “dramatically” alter the prices unless they just straight out ban the kitteners that purposely increase the price of precursor weapons. Those imho, are the true scumbags in the game.

I agree with the thread topic completely and how outrageous it is for Fractal Weapon Skins to be attainable through chests. I have gotten 3 skins now, but SO MUCH TIME has been spent in fractals trying to obtain them. If memory servers, Fractals came online in November or something. As of February, almost March, I’ve gotten my Fractal GS. So…that’s 4 or 5 months of doing at least 3 or 5 Fractals weekly. To make it ironic, I got my GS after I took a week or two off of Fractals. Some bs huh? No, what’s even more BS is when someone TOTALLY new to level 20 fractals gets the GS skin on his first try in Jade Maw. He had 10 AR, I had to carry him, yet he still got it. Good job Arena Net, look out for the noobs!

They ruined their own game with all this nonsense. Applause Arena Net, fail so hard.

I agree, but I don’t think we’ll see that at anytime since all these patches that are supposed to enhance gameplay is merely downgrading it. I say this b/c I just found out that boss dragon events in PvE only limits one chest per character in your account. I’m not lying.

I’ve noticed that the Fractal daily chests are garbage now. People that run Fractals want rings (if you don’t have enough..) or Fractal Weapons which I want since most FOTM skins are better than Legendaries, my opinion. Months and months of dailies in, two weapons. Other players have a lot more than that and it’s beginning to aggravate me and my party off. Another Arena Net “update” where they make the players work harder for what they want through all the chaos they have barricaded us in.

Seems like Diminished Returns works on Fractal daily chests too. I run Fractals dailies everyday. I run b/c of the Fractal Weapon skins and what do I get in exchange for weeks and months slaving away in FOTM? Just a rifle, that’s it. FYI, I got the rifle after not doing fractals for 2 days. Isn’t that what a Diminished Return is? If so, I guess I gotta run other crap instead of Fractals or just quit the game all together =/. I’ve done all the dungeons, Fractals Of The Mist is my favorite. PLEASE increase the chances of a Fractal Weapon. It’s getting very dull running one of the more difficult dungeons in this game and not getting anything out of it. My time apparently amounts to night anymore.

I’ve dedicated myself to fractals since the Lost Shores update. I’ve gotten a rifle. Months later, nothing. I personally like most of the Fractal Weapons over any of the Legendaries. So therefore my main being in Guild Wars is fractals. But since I don’t have many weapons to show off in the months I’ve been running it, I feel out of place. Other players have way more than they should. Multiples at times, and they just started! WTF.

Logging on Guild Wars 2 and trying to find a group for Fractals from either your guild or others. Those willing to commit to spend at least an hour and a half to do this one dungeon, which has 4 different instances in even numbers and a variety of paths that differ in difficulty, all look forward to either obtaining a ring or better yet, a Fractal Weapon skin! So the feeling of anxiety of whether I or any of my other party members will get a skin is very high and very unnerving.

So basically I’m just complaining on how the Fractal Weapon give rate from the daily chests are horrible. I’m taking hours upon hours everyday to do Fractal Of The Mist levels 20-28 and 30-38 hoping that once completed, a weapon or a ring could be handed to me for my efforts of finishing this, should I say, difficult dungeon. This has happened for quite some time now (almost 2 months) and I must say, it’s getting quite absurd. It especially gets irritating when good ole Lava Bird shows up to ruin your life and make faces frown knowing that a guard cannot be found in your party. True Story.

Also, as you most may know, Ash Legion Kits have been nerfed. This raises the difficulty a tiny bit especially in the dredge path. How can we, the players, deserve such a change when we are only using the item AS described in the text. To change one single item just so it stops becoming an “exploit” is a horrible way to manage the changes of this wonderful, but very chaotic game. Just delete the darn item if you don’t want us using it, simple as that.

p.s. I know that there other players experiencing the same problem as I am and have gone even longer without compensation. I feel for you, brothers and sisters.

I’m pretty sure we were playing Fractal Of The Mine level 26 the night before. We did a few more dungeons after. I can’t see or sense any time allowable for him to bot areas of Tyria. His friend list was titled in grey, not green. Review incident number 130208-000357 please.

It could go either way since this both pertains to an area of Tyria and also “Account Issues.” So please, try thinking of the situation first before blurting.

I apologize for not correctly indenting and separating my sentences correctly. It’s quite late, and I have been trying to resolve this issue for my friends who don’t have a say in anything right now and so have my guild. Everyone, including myself, will be losing a little bit of sleep tonight knowing that Tyria is unsafe. I also know that some of you may question the validity of my friends’ accountability of being a non-botter. I understand this, but try and relate this to anyone that you may know and think as a legit player. Admins, if you need the ticket claim numbers, I have all three waiting to be opened and reviewed. I appreciate it to whoever reads this.

So a few hours ago, 3 of my close guildies were banned relatively at the same time (different log-in times but were in the same party at the time) for farming Karka in Southsun Cove. As some, or most know, that spot is great for farming Karka shells which are useful in crafting or just selling. It’s also great for farming Vials of Powerful Bloods towards a legendary. The reason for their ban? “Botting.” This is where I get lost because I play with these 3 people most of the time. Even when we’re not partied, they’re either doing a dungeon or in WvW and I check via contact list. So for them, non-botters, to be expelled out of the game for this reason has given a red flag to my guild which houses 500 people including myself, so your evidence and vouches are there. This gives every player a ruined sense of security because everything can be farmed, so in turn, could everyone get banned for doing so? This discourages not only myself and my guild, but others to explore out in PvE to either farm for crafting, or just completing map. Admins, if you read this, I ask of you to not only fix this issue but to bring back my companions for it is your task to properly differentiate those who are innocent and those that do use third-party software that ruins the game for everyone and also ruins the trading post. I also have their incident numbers and I hope that this spree of completely random bans stop, players returned, and are compensated for whatever losses they have, i.e. laurels being the main reason of their hatred at the moment.

Gaile Gray, I also believe that there is that one person who gets angry that they cannot tag a monster and cannot get loot. That person in turn starts to rage and opts to report a player for “botting” in a ways to hopefully ban that character to rid them off of that certain spot, in this case, the karka area. In my case, or in my guild’s case, three of my guildies have been banned. They know who might’ve reported them BUT they asked if that person wanted to join their party. He or she refused.

I’ve had three of my very close guild members banned today. TODAY! For that same reason of “botting” when there is no proof. I am not going to write a lot but I have their claim numbers and I WILL be reporting to Joystiq.com. Game of the Year? Not with these issues sadly.

Please Review: [Incident: 130208-000077]

I have been playing Guild Wars 2 ever since release and have met many companions along the way. Those companions and I have always ridiculed the ideas of botting and buying gold. The guild I am currently in also ridicule and abhor the idea and mind you, this is a 500/500 guild. So for my two friends/guildies to be banned for this reason is completely unreasonable. It is as if the zones you have provided for us that drop items such as Karka Shells and/or Vials of Powerful Blood have grounds of being permanently expelled from the game. The only thing we do is party up and group together to kill the monsters legitly without any use of any outside/third-party programs. If that is the case and if we are now unable to farm, then how can I or any other player be able to save up materials for a legendary or any other item in the game. Please take a look at the incident numbers and not just glance at it pretending that your sense of justice is right. There are other players/accounts that do bot, buy gold, or sell gold. However for you, Arena Net, to mistakenly expel innocent players who have been loyal to the game ever since release, have grounds that need to be inspected and fixed. I/we cannot fully express how frustrating this situation is but just keep in mind that there are hundred, maybe thousands of players that reprimand your actions of banning the wrong person.

p.s. Another guildie has been banned. I will return to send you another voucher for my mistreated companions.
