Guild Wars 2

Agreed, mantras i think should be a 180 degree aoe, so you still have to kind of aim them but allies standing apart doesn’t make you a useless support. The heal needs a bit of a heal buff but in terms of the punishment for using the mantras i like it, although it needs to be worth it to use the last charge.

Think about it, you don’t need might/quickness or burn dmg in a pinch. Like they are good in a pinch but you most of the time wont need them so most of the time you are just watching that little charge bar go round, since you will probs never use the last charge cause as i said you don’t need might in a pinch it makes more sense to just wait for a charge for the max overall dps, so kinda meh.

Maybe on all the last charges of all the mantras they should give you some sort of defensive buff, like a flat heal etc, this would make you use the last charge get punished but also save your life so doesn’t feel pointless.

So instead of buffing the heal skill make the last mantra charge heal for like 2-3k so you end up using em. Probs good to make it a aoe heal cause yes guard gives ages for days but its healing is pretty poor. Somet as simple as making it a blast could work too. Since we got a water field now.

Guardian main for 5 years.
Axe auto feels horrible, that delay is unusable for me.

Those mantra’s i mean come on you can’t run a mantra build not unless you want to spend half your life watching them charge.

Virtues look pretty but its all kinda the same lackluster thing,

Infact this is my overall opinion its lackluster all around, feels like a few fire animations with some boons thrown in. It will be strong or weak depending on those boons but it will still be boring to play.

So simply put nothing feels impactful at all. The boons of course are very impactful, but they don’t feel impactful.

I see this spec as me clicking way more buttons and basically not a single skill feels like i even did anything.

Its like ooohh a pretty fire animation what did it do, give a boon, next skill oohh look a different fire animation what did that one do…. give a boon etc etc etc whole spec to me.

My opinion, just makes me feel better to say it.

Wings… i need my wings please don’t take my wings. They are the best skill in game, i love my wings. Please oh please don’t take my wings… sob.. sniff… sob….

In my opinion GPUs atm go:
Nvidia GTX 1060 6gb £250 (1060 is if you only want nvidia but cant afford a 1070, RX480 is better at same price tho)
AMD RX480 8gb £250 (470 is a pointless downgrade spend the extra money)
Nvidia GTX 1070 8gb £400
Nvidia GTX 1080 8gb £500 (wait for ti, worth the wait and extra money)
Nvidia GTX 1080 ti 11gb £600 (not out yet, coming soon, good price basically a titan -£400)
Nvidia Titan X 12gb £1000 (overpriced, for people who just like the best)

All are made with VR in mind, so all will run Gw2 in max super easily.
Everything depends on your price range.
If you can afford it id recommend a 1080 ti, if your on a budget RX480 is defiantly the best. But that doesn’t mean the 1060 is bad, still a very powerful card.

Thank you so much guys, really appreciate it. Survey is open for a few more days if anyone feels like giving it a go. Thanks again.

Fyi, i asked for participants all over reddit, on survey subreddits etc, go more help here than on everything else combined.

So played this game for 4+ years, always revived, never left a failing group, helped that new player dying to an event, mesmer portaled every puzzel etc etc.

Was wondering if you could fill out my dissertation/thesis survey, anyone can do it and takes as long as reving a few people.

Well if you were selling one, and the bids are 7g but the buy price is 12g, even people who usually don’t bother will just list it instead. So yea usually they go up together, not 100% of the time tho.

There is only 59 on the tp if i bought 58 then they would cost 20g each, that would only cost like 900g or somet, cba maths.
Most people can affect the price, some dude probs just bought like 10

Yanno i wrote a long post but what’s the point

With updates and features being so badly thought out that they don’t function in the long run, be it legy journeys taking too much development time or updates having 6+ month gaps inbetween, its a problem that is always gonna be apparent so nvm.

I’m gonna go play Tree of Savoir instead.

Peace.

The backlash from mikes post, the reason loads of mmo site are also backlashing Anet for going back on what people paid for. Not to mention the constant begging for the flipping box says otherwise.

A simple bit of text
The community wants what they ask for, not what you the developers think they want.

They want the kittening box
They want the kittening legendaries

Simple.

Is annoying ok simple, why put this here i run reaper everytime i come out of shroud i hear tick tick tick it was fun once but its gonna make me not use the skin soon. Also it shouldn’t play on weapon swap either. Come on Anet dont put things i cant turn off on my weapons even if you do add a no noise option i will still want to hear my legy so yanno remove it lol.

THIS, along with saving builds is some quality of life the game really needs

I am sure quite a few people have a few legendaries they just don’t use any more, Just make all the salvaged materials account bound as to avoid changing the economy. Somet i would like people to be thinking about. XP

NOPE cause to do it without dying of boredom you need every booster = a lot of people buy boosters = MONEY BABY

If you cant run full Zerk in all content then you are a bad player not to mention a bad necro, we have some of the best sustain if played properly. The way gw2 combat works is just about avoiding damage all together. Not to mention “Rise” is amazing and “your soul is mine” is low cd low cast time.

And yes winions are OP if you need certain things done, Solo HC, fractals all around useful now, AI is still annoying but you simply only run winions when needed. btw dont take bone minions over “rise” that would be stupid XD

Only two problems i had were when you use the jump things to get in the air the glider sometimes just doesn’t come out, but i found that if i calmly walk to the mushroom/glow thing and not press anything then again calmly press space bar, it words every time. Also the phases he goes through can jumble up if he resets/you die, so you will have to restart the instance pick braham and caithe as i thought that were the easiest.

Simple, don’t be that guild leader who is too tight to buy the ex-pack and cause everyone trouble. Be it you do it for attention or cause you don’t have money to waste either one you end up being “That guy”.

To be fair Anet charged money for the betas, since there hasn’t been many of them and they also had little content to test having bugs that make what little content we have to test unable to be played is quite the stumble. Some people don’t have all weekend to play yet they paid money to play it, so many people have good reason to be annoyed simply passing it off as its a beta these things happen is kinda lacking.

At this rate 23rd – 23rd nov will be a month long beta. That is a standard I will be expecting. (if you fudge up Halloween well….

Faith….

They charged a price for the expansion itself the beta was just a perk that came with it. Beta testing is testing to make sure things are working. We’ve obviously shown some things are not working and they are working to fix it before the expansion goes live.

How is it an extra feature it was without a doubt the main feature for my purchase and i am pretty positive many others as well. Can you really tell me you would have pre paid if beta wasn’t included and was just random or a portal drop still. So many people pre paid for the beta.

The beta is included. You can literally play it right now. You are not being denied anything.

Do you think it was a coincidence Colin told everyone that its only the part of the first map in betas after the main force pre purchased. So with the beta test as it is which is only testing specialisations and UI so far what little content we have being bugged is yanno, I’m not saying its unforgivable or anything just that if they cant avoid these kinds of bugs now when the expack launches well it just wont be playable never mind bugs.

Cost of prepurchase, with beta access: $50
Cost of HoT post release, no beta access: $50

Amount paid for beta access: $0.

QED

Cost of expack wont be $50 for long after launch, business is quite simple if you can charge more you do it, the beta is more and if it didn’t come into consideration on the cost of the expack someone needs to loose their job. Especially since the items included in the pre purchase were not even shown, many people buy things when its max price and pay more because of hype. If Anet didn’t make money from pre purchase they wouldn’t bother to do it, no company would.

I LOVE YOU, its perfect I’m happy about it all. You have made this 3 year necro main very very happy. I will buy lots of GEMS in the future because you wonderful human beings.

Its not visible Feedback and Wall of Reflection are very noticeable as soon as you see them you know what to do, i was in fractals killing Archdiviner and no one came to my cloud (yes i do know it should just be on top of him in this case). I also understand its new (and people don’t know) but it just made me realise how unnoticeable it is.

Is making it more visible a lot to ask? only needs a more dense/bigger poison effect.

But yea other than that i love the new skill, i also like that it still weakens me just makes it a more interesting skill XD XD

I get it, it would be strong in pvp if %up was too high, but its useless in pve simple since its simple fix it. So that not simple right well don’t do it then and we will all carry on complaining for years to come that’s simple too XD

They should add this as well as being able to just gain the SAB rewards i mean by the time SAB comes out again we deserve all new rewards anyway, so add the old ones and make em craftable or earnable or somet

Its a scythe its supposed to be large, and scary looking. Its 170 range, it annoys me in this game where the weapon doesn’t hit the enemy yet does dmg this size is perfect for the skills ranges.

I agree we should 1 shot kill anything at comes within 1200 range, basically the new thief elites last hit but does 50k dmg —x_x-———-x_x— \O/ —--x_x——-x_x—x_x— boom!

Some maps have clear skies, also the time does change it and different cycles

80g pfft u dont know the ways of gold farming, SW = 150g in 1 day, 1 day = 12hrs of play, method = Look at LFG find a SW map that is High % do the Vinewrath, then repeat this for 12hrs, Breach gives lots of loot bags so does VW save em up (u wanna be doing 15-20 VWs a day) sell everything u get from all loots and bam ur rich. (and yea this is base drops not counting if u getting anything good)

Why is this good because normally if many people know about a gold farm the farm usually gets worse but in this case the more people the easier it is to find maps quicker = more gold.

They said their not beta testing the maps, meaning they are actually planning to release it with loads of potential bugs. This is fine as long as they actively fix them following release. Since they decided this all they have to do is make it playable in the next few months and bam release it.

Actually makes sense i mean other classes don’t lose F skins like us, not sure whether they should be shared CDs if they were not id then say reaper/necro would finally get a much needed buff to his options. Cause right now reaper gameplay is fun but it will get old quick since its pretty simplistic.

Greatsword
Skill 1, Auto’s are good the 170 range helps kite which compliments how slow they are, 3rd attack animation is gorgeous as well.
Skill 2, gravedigger is brilliant the reset makes up for the long cast time, plus being able to move while casting is exceedingly useful.
Skill 3, damage is nice, animation is nice, life force makes up for 1 and 2 not generating any.
skill 4, good good radius could be bigger, considering our autos are 170 and we kite a lot.
Skill 5, meh the hit box is rather small and tends not to work a lot (beta ik) the skill itself is useless most of the time and the life force generation on this skill is important. The fact i can miss or not get all 5 targets is a bit rubbish. (i can understand it might be a skill based thing but it just doesn’t need to be)

Reaper’s Shroud
Well the **** done its amazing, some people think death’s charge should be target based IT SHOULDN’T XD.
BUG* On skill 5 the animation when attacking large monsters can sometimes be HUGE! XD (ty its fun)

Shouts
Heal “your soul is mine” it either needs to be instant cast or heal a lot more the life force generation is great but as a heal skill it sucks, I’m just not using it for the heal.
“you are all weaklings” burst class getting 20 stacks of might means its a brilliant skill 10/10
“suffer” its situational and just all around boring, other skills already do what it does but better.
“Nothing can save you” same as suffer its situational (meaning useless most of the time) and just as boring as suffer. (why would i take suffer and NCSY over other utility’s)
“Rise” hahahaha really! so they ran out of ideas Ok.
“Chilled to the bone” This surprised me it goes with the specialization very well, Only thing it needs is a Stun duration increase just because Ice Bow 5 is 5 seconds, yes this is 5 targets but this is an Ultimate. (plus you get two ice bows on cast = 10 seconds of stun, it just out classes this), (doesn’t feel like an ultimate move at all because i don’t need to save it, i just use it whenever its up, the trait to decrease the cd is nice though)

Overall i love it shouts being meh aside since gw2 has loads of useless utility’s i don’t mind having more.
As a class it plays well and is awesome to play.
Only 2 things i would really want changing are heal skill needs to heal more or be instant (why not both XD). ult’s stun needs to be longer.

Good Job Anet! XD p.s tiny thing, scythe blade is a tiny bit harder to see than id like.

Nar it should be like an anime where we shout the names of all our moves, “FORM OF THE LICH” xD

They be working on the ex-pack more, with them not covering any of the maps in betas it means the release date might be a lot closer

I just want to see the deep sea dragon, nothing else just see it. Like i think i should be the largest and not a typical dragon but still a recognisable dragon unlike Zhaitan.

Oh different material types sound good having a diamond sword in a game would be new ;p, but no for real sounds good.

Everyone else had the intelligence to not rush luck to 300% as it would be boring and leave us loads of useless luck, you dug your own grave bro.

Click PVP click 3rd tab, find a map that says FARM join it, get pvp dailys easily, simple. XD

Screw beta, bugs are fun simple as that!

Give it the Fairy tail touch and think your guild is your family in game and the guild hall is your home, that’s my plan XD

So for awhile now i have been using the norn leopard elite cause the 4 dash gets me places and the 5 invis is useful every now and then, see what I’m getting at? ANET Fix my kitten class. I am not asking for OP, just useful at all would be nice. XD

Black suit outfit so i can wear the tentacle back piece and become ender man lol.

but for realz ONESIE give me a panda onesie for my asuras

Yea probs HoT, and i don’t mind waiting but i wanna know why I’m waiting or all I’m doing is being inpatient.

Well im not bothered by this but if i was a new player and encountered this then i would truly think Anet doesn’t have a clue what they are doing. Full exp bar = nothing that kinda goes against the point of an mmorpg

Might not be necromancer that’s the problem but certain characters have a different luck when it comes to RNG, there has always been rumours saying an account/character as set luck for precursors some accounts/characters are fixed to never get one and other a fixed to get one easily. Meaning that character might just been own of the RNG list.

Thats only rumors and Anet already stated that nothing like account rng modifiers exist.

like they would tell us, its a conspiracy i tells ya, a conspiracy XD

I am excited to learn what Anet is trying to achieve with this, according to your theory.

Well from a business stand point RNG is foolish, controlling the entire games drops would be if you ask me easier and better.
Also if one guy comes along and say i got a pre in one try then thousands proceed to try and thus creating a monopolised game economy.

Last year = disappointment. this yea i expect nothing to change.

Dunno when it comes down to it, i like my current stuff being rarer than having more non rare things.

well blizz con for example isn’t wow only Anet only has gw1-2, so yea would be hard to even justify it with what would the event even show.
