Guild Wars 2

It’s not meant to reduce the prevalence of Berzerker armor.

It’s meant to make crit damage to be more in line with all the other stats

“Think of WvW or SPVP: no longer full berserker would be the go to spec”

wait…… wat? u serious? only rally bots are full zerkers in wvw

The ONLY time u should run zerkers in wvw is if u have a wicked good frontline to cover your butt.
And your example of a full zerker warrior killing a necro and engi is just funny, said warrior would get insta downed if said Necro and Engi knew how to play even a little.

*Seriously, Condi’s are fine as they are, every aspect of the game has it’s pros and cons *

This part I disagree with. Conditions need to be fixed on a PVE level, not a PVP level. T

I think the main problem in Conditions is that they don’t function like regular dots or disables. If you look at other games, a single player has an entire skillbar of different dots. They’re all dots, sure. But they’re identified as different abilities, so even in small groups, you can keep a consisitent damage output on your part because they’re all tagged as individual abilities.

In GW2, that’s not the case, Bleed is universal, as is poison, Cripple, and all the rest. There’s no uniqueness, and as a result, even if you had a bunch of players not even equipping condition gear they’d still be able to stack plenty of conditions regardless because conditions are not individualized as well as true Dots.

Altho i do agree that condition builds are not optimal for large scale fights it would break pvp beyond repair if they would buff them.

In pve i don’t run Condi’s and only use it for pvp/roaming in wvw.
Maybe they could give them a slight buff in pve only or actualy make coordinated smaller groups more viable so condi’s don’t “overstack”.

Hum I wonder what stability is used for?

I dont understand what is this “Stability” you speak of?

~Necros

I might be a bit late to the party, but realy?

My necro has a 50% Stability uptime, maybe u should double check the build u use in larger fights.

One of the benefits of being a zergling that runs with 20+ people is that you don’t have to worry as much about your damage output.

Disregarding plague form (where most good groups will strip your stability), even if you have the lowered deathshroud trait and go into deathshroud on cooldown (whether it makes sense to do so or not) and you still won’t reach 50% uptime on stability. And, I’m sure it’s really sustainable to just flip into deathshroud on cooldown whenever it is up.

Oke, 45% (give or take a % or 2)

DS is used to reposition yourself, there is realy no excuse to get cought by the enemy frontline as a back liner.

Stability or not, if u die to the frontline as a back liner it had nothing to do with your stability

You realize that you can be rooted and/or stunned from long range, right? You might not since you are getting a ton of stability and cleanses from your many guardians.

wait.. as a backliner u are blobbed up with your guardians? no wonder u get hammerd down

You can see Oozo’s videos and his playstyle for yourself. I am guessing you travel with bigger groups than he does.

He is in PYRO. I don’t think I’ve (personally) ever seen them running less than 25.
Needless to say, it’s a lot easier running a ‘backliner’ when you have a huge meatshield to play of off than when you don’t.

I was under the impression we where talking about killing hammer trains (usualy 35~50), so running with a small roaming group (5~15) shouldn’t even be discussed here, u should not be fighting them with those numbers in the first place.
The hammer train could be naked and still run u over with those odds.

This thread gave me a good laugh

I do not mind RNG but i can understand some people that dislike it.
Wat i do not understand is the counter argument about a “set amount of effort” to obtain something while at the same time they do not want “grind”

Grind = A set amount of effort

So in order for Anet to take out RNG completely they would have to add a huge amount of grind to keep people from getting everything within a few days.

Imho: Legendaries should be a grind and not RNG or partial RNG or bought with gold.(Grind can be fun if done right).

RNG should be used for stuff like Minis, tonics, etc etc

I’m sorry to tell u this but us Maguumans do not care about PPT, we will only cap something if it brings u out to fight.

My advice would be to come and fight us instead of sitting on an Arrowcard waiting for something that will not ever happen.

(we do have some people that want to PPT but there are not many of them)

Languages spoken by the worl population.

Mandarin – 14.1%
English – 5.52%
Spanish – 5.58%
Portuguese – 3.08%
German – 1.39%
French – 1.12%

Polish – 0.61%

As u can see there are many other languages that would have a much higher priority to be translated that yours. Also it would not be finacialy justified to translate to polish .

If they would add another language it would most definitely be either Spanish (not sure if they done that already) or Portuguese.

They most likely banned some people that used macro’s while farming
I find it hard to believe they would ban for just farming or failing an event.

I have the most luck with the forge when i don’t use it at all.

yes it does give your stats a boost, but you don’t NEED it to do any content.
Therefor it is completly optional

ps: U used a warrior as an example……..u can be in Masterworks and still be fine in any of the end game content using that class.

Just make your own LFG, that’s wat i do.

My posts usualy look like this: No flaming/raging/skipping/glitching.
It keeps the Spam 1 zerg bots away and let’s me enjoy the game to it’s fullest. I don’t like the dungeon run mechanic so when i go do one i make sure i enjoy it (i like using my character instead of zerging stuff down).

No point in raising the level cap, everybody just crafts to max lvl anyway.

to lazy to read all the post i this topic, but they do actualy give u a way to get acc armor/weapons without crafting.

U can get weapon and armor chests from wvw rank chests and from guild mission chests.
Now, if u do not want to wait till u get lucky (i don’t, my luck is -9000) then u should craft, if u got the time and patience then by all means, wait for that lucky drop.

Fletch.3572:

The reason they claimed ascended gear exists was because of “a gap between exotic and legendary”. Which basically means there could be infinite amounts of new tiers added to fill an imaginary gap, spin for the win!

This gap u speak of was not a gap in stats, it was a gap in cost.

They basicly added something for players to aim for between the exotic (2g) and the legendary (2500g).

It had nothing to do with stats, but A-net decided that while they where at it they would bring them up to par with the original legendary stats.

It’s easy, f they mix them, I just will not do the content. WvW/PvP sucks and I will not go near it just for something LS related.

Your loss then, because gearing is just soooooo expensive is it.

You misunderstand, being kacked in PvP or WvW isn’t about the gear/repair cost, it is about feeling less than epic. In a RPG, we like to think of ourselves the “hero” of the story thus getting randomly kacked from some stranger you run into removes all fantasy barriers from the game to the PvE crowd.

Some people simply approach the game much differently than you do.

Why would u not challange yourself?

i don’t get the dislike for pvp

The sense of entitlement is to strong in the mayority of the playerbase.
Sadly A-net caters to those

It’s going to be 2 weeks without sleep for me, gotta spawn camp them newbs 24/7

Sylv.6514:

I repeatedly get kicked out of groups for not playing a Guardian or Warrior, and sometimes even receive major hate for maining a ranger.

I woud kick you too from dungeon party if you dare play a ranger. Some times I tolerate rangers on eazy dungeons, just rare. And I love when I see in LFG two rangers looking for other members, no one join them ^^ once I did all my 3 paths and they where still there in the list looking… I wanted to enter in party and shout: MAKE A KITTEN WARRIOR but I leave them be… they deserve it ^^

U deserve to play a warrior and not find out about 99% of the other fun content, off to your cof p1 now good sir, you’re loosing precious time here.

Stand The Wall.6987:

Cmon! It would be awesome!

No it would not, simply by the fact that projectile speed is way way waaay to slow for it.
If u realy want tho, u could always get a magic marker, draw a reticle on your screen and turn of auto targeting (which u should anyway).
U can even customize it by using different collors

Great survivability, good group support(blind,chill, DS4 heal, boon strip, cripple etc,
Decent DPS and most important of all 50% fury and stability up time (flashing DS)

+1 Asmodeus

I have the most terrible ranger ever (full zerk, half rares sb/lb and idgaf couse i only use it to farm)

I make my own parties.
Post something like this: lvl 11 FotM – No flamers/ragers/tryhards, just have fun.

It always works for me, so far i never not finished my daily fotm becouse guess wat, i can actualy use my character and realised that there is a “dodge” feature in this game. So do the players that join u, they take their time to learn to play and don’t mind taking a few extra minutes to enjoy the content.

Honestly, u should avoid the “all heavy zerker” parties like the plague, those are 99.99% of the time players that only know “kitten kitten stack zerg, kitten kitten zerg ress”. (they are the reason why Marionette fails so much, they have yet to figure out how to actualy play this game)

A while ago there was a glitch that gave people the ability to zoom out further.
It made arrow cards horribly OP, i realy don’t want to go back to that.

I’ve been alive for 208597 hours (+/-) and i still haven’t won the lottery.

Zoid.2568:

There already are events with 100+ players and plus the other players roaming the zone. If two guilds decided to fight it out 100 vs 100 in a zone, then it wouldn’t be a problem.

Well, it’s optional to be active in an Open world GvG. If you don’t like it, then you don’t participate.

The difference is that those events only have players on one side of the equation, with pvp the complexity of everything climbs through the roof. that’s why you’ll never see 100vs100 in wvw… the performance just collapses.
which means if pve players trying to do an event suddenly have 60+ players in two groups fighting around them, it’ll directly affect their performance, whether they are participating or not.

In all my gaming history i have never EVER seen any open world pvp have more then 20v20 (and i’ve played a lot of pk oriented mmo’s.
In theory u could have 400v400 but this just doesn’t happen.
Also no serious pvp guild will EVER fight during a meta event becouse reaction and response time is key in pvp. so no, u will not see a 60v60 during a meta lagfest, at most u will see the occasional gank of a small party during one of those.

Your argument is invalid

The Stain.4169:

I know this is not a new topic…and I will forwarn you this post is little more than a rant.

Having said that, yesterday I ran just shy of 100 shards, ectos, and coins, along with a similar mountain of crystals and philosopher’s stones, through the Mystic Forge. For my trouble, time, and gold, I got one clover…

Now, it was my understanding that clovers were supposed to be roughly a one-in-three return, whereas I got one-in-a-hundred. Rolling the dice nearly 100 times should be a large enough sample that something close to the true statistical odds should be emerging here…so something was amiss.

At those odds, I would need something like 1,500,000 karma and thousands? of skill points just to grind out the clovers needed for a legendary…nevermind all the other requirements. Utterly ridiculous.

The problem with RNG is that it can be so easily manipulated by the devs, because we have no idea what is really going on. I might have been completely wasting all my time gathering the materials to get clovers. Say Anet decides there are too many legendaries in the game….they simply manipulate the RNG for clovers…then BANG…no one is getting a legendary. This obviously would not be posted in the update bulletins, just like the constant manipulations of the Orr farming locations are not posted.

I can tell you I am not wasting my time with the Mystic Forge any longer…it would be idiotic to do so. I just wish I knew that before I blew the time and resources already.

Of course this doesn’t even begin to touch upon the issue of getting the precursor…at this point I would not even attempt it.

I find the situation infuriating, personally. Not the way to build a loyal game-base, Anet.

Thanks for indulging my rant.

food for thout.

MomentofWeakness.1246:

For as much bad mouthing you guys do towards me I find it ironic that “[PYRO] Sabrina as Sorcerer” claims that he taught me what I know, no you didnt, iamtheDuke is the only one that deserves heavy credit for that, you showed me things 2 times and they were siege placements, other than that it was talking on whisper chat, I never trained with you or any other commander, I just got my tag threw it on and went. Duke taught me a lot during my time in WäR but I spent a lot of time working on knowledge, tactics, play, myself so please dont take credibility and lie to people, the fabrication of facts you guys are telling people is so sad.

I doubt anyone taught you to trade an upgraded SM for a paper tower on multiple occasions

We are all just very happy that Zero is gone.

With that being said we can go back to topic again

I’d say they have a fair chance (only if the switch tactics from “opertunists” to taking initiative).

Speaking of irrelevancy were you not playing the role of mr.fashionista earlier in the wvw forums?

No, I brought up you crying to not only me, but my whole guild, and then you made a comment about Kyra’s armor colour which I corrected.

This conversation is like talking to Calvin.

Reasoning with woman is impossible.

It’s like sitting down to a friendly game of dice. Only the woman refuses to acknowledge the kitten rules of the game.
A man will cheat you, he’ll do it honestly. He’ll use loaded dice, so that you think you’re losing by chance. And if you arn’t clever enough to spot wat he’s doing , then maybe he deserves to take your coin.
A woman, though, she’ll sit down to the same game and she’ll smile, and act like she’s going to play. Only when it’s her turn to throw, she’ll toss a pair of her own dice and they are blank on all six sides. Not a single pip showing. She’ll inspect her throw, then she’ll look up at you and say, Clearly i just won!
Now you’ll scratch your head and look at the dice. Then you’ll look up at her, then down at the dice again. ‘But there aren’t any pips on these dice’ you’ll say.
‘Yes there are,’ she’ll say. ‘Ánd both dice rolled one.’
’That’s exactly the number you need to win,’ you’ll say.
‘Wat a coincidence,’ She’ll reply, then begin to scoop up your coins.
And you’ll sit there, trying to wrap your head ‘bout wat just happened. And you’ll realise something.
A pair of ones isn’t the winning throw! Not when you threw sin on your turn. That means she needed a pair of twos instead!
You’ll explain wat you’ve discovered. Only then, do you know what she’ll do?
Then she’ll reach over and rub the blank faces of her dice. And with a perfectly straight face, she’ll say ’ Í’m sorry. There was a spot of dirt on the dice. Clearly you can see that actually came up as twos!’
She’ll scoop up all your coins and then every other woman in the room will come over and congratulate her on throwing a pair of twos.
The more you complain about it, the more woman will join in the argument. You’ll be outnumbered in a moment, and each of those woman will explain to you how those dice clearly read twos, and how you realy need to stop behaving like a child.
Every single one of them will see the twos! Even the prudish woman who has hated your woman from birth (sinds your woman’s granny stole the other woman’s granny’s honeycake recipe when they where yourng), even that woman will side against you.

By the time they’re done, you’ll be left with no coin, several lists worth of errands to run and a splitting headache.
You’ll sit there and stare at the table and begin to wonder, just maybe, if those dice didn’t read twos after all. If only to preserve what’s left of your sanity.

That’s what it’s like to reason with a woman.

Also Yak is starting to focus Kaineng a lot more. Yak is desperate for second so they always go for second place; however they are just starting to realize that this is going to be Kaineng and not Mag.

Why settle for 2nd place Yaks ? Kaineng supports you all the way ! Aim for 1st spot. Together we will take down the haughty purplemen. Tomorrow reset at Mags BL, we attack from each of our respective starting base all the way up to their garrison. After that, we will have naked karaoke session !

Nothing is wort the effort unless u are naked while doing them!

Do we realy need the same topic every day?

U got killed by a thief and rather then improving your own abilities it’s easier for u to run to the forums and complain, we get it already

I’ll only he happy with anti stealth traps if they also add:

Anti boon traps
Anti condition damage traps
Anti Atunement swap traps
Anti Clone traps
Anti Signet traps
Anti pet traps

Way to target a single class A-net
Why not take away all armor and weapons and give us all a wooden stick+ AC

I’d say anything that’s using a 3rd party programs is a No No (it’s that way in most other games, altho not sure if anet handles this the same)

I hate the AC’s and becouse of it i can’t take WvW seriously untill they fix wat is obviously broken.

To YB, good fights on your BL during reset, had a lot of fun in open field

Sista.1925:

I’m curious as to why mags seems to only zerg through kain side during NA times? I’ve watched the map all day and none of Yaks has been decimated….yet repeatedly…our keep/garri….everything lol

It’s less defended during NA time i guess. (this might be wrong becouse i realy can’t play seriously with this AC thing going on. basicly just derping around looking for 1v1’s)

OutspokenAardvark.9781:

So is anyone still playing ACvACvAC?

Nope!

Why would i play a gamemode that encourages stationary gameplay.

nagymbear.5280:

graverr.6473:

I believe you missed the part where ANY SIEGE standing inside a defending AC range is unusable,unlikely to get built at all or survive more than 5 seconds to deal any damage.

Oh man, that sucks I didn’t think about that, you are completly right. If only there was
something that would be able to attack from longer range than an AC….

Martrim.1078:

Besides that there are a number of places i’ve found where u can build an AC, hit in front of a gate and be absoluty safe from anything that might even come close to hitting it.

Wow, if only there was another way inside a keep other than the gate(s).

Wow, if only there was a way to increase AC range so they could also hit those area’s

nagymbear.5280:

graverr.6473:

What can a 10 man team do now except of flipping camps…

They can build 3 ACs and clear the wall of siege, that’s what they can do. Everyone is concerned about attackers. Well here’s something to think about. A group outside of a keep can spread out. Defenders on the wall, not so much. Wait till zergs find out they can build ACs as well for attacking.

And then wat? u still can’t kill the AC behind the gates, so Rams are a no go.

Treb it down? o look a hole in the wall, let’s focus fire our 15 AC’s on that (Good luck getting in to even destroy i AC)

Besides that there are a number of places i’ve found where u can build an AC, hit in front of a gate and be absoluty safe from anything that might even come close to hitting it.

All in all WvW died April 30th

Realy disapointed in Kaineng this week.

Put your manpants on and actualy fight a 1v1 instead of always calling in 15 of your buddies.

bhagwad.4281:

Zikory.6871:

So if that’s the case would smoke fields and blast finishers equal Invulnerability instead of stealth?

EDIT: If so this would mean any group fight would come down to which teams thieves can keep it up better. Lets do this, I’m in! Perma stealth? pfft Invincible army’s.

An invincible army that can’t do damage and can’t cap. Bring it on and watch as your teammates curse you for losing the cap.

You are wrong, i can still do damage , dodge roll 2 times and blinding power-heartseeker back into my personal “safezone” while you desperetly try to blow all your cooldowns in that 3 second window of me dodge rolling.

Good luck with that.

p.s. i’ll give it a go for a day if u wish, we can have a 1v1 where i mug-backstab-black powder-heartseeker around u for a few hours till u give up and delete the game.

I want a rainbow trail for my Dreamer!
No No, better yet, i want to be riding a pink/rainbow unicorn when i’m out of combat!

Make it happen A-net

Just get superior siege yourself to counter their superior siege.

Problem solved, next case please

Counter treb it.

It’s wat people used to do before they where all swallowed up by the Blob
