Guild Wars 2

I’m curious about one thing. When there are some guys complain about not getting anything when their exp bar were full (before this patch), did you guys say he complain too much? That he can’t make any suggestion? Show me that you did it? Then why he can and we can’t? Because you also like his idea and support him that’s why you guys kept your mouth shut.

Why not just learn to accept different people will have different opinion? Is it that hard to do? Let ANet decide since they’re the one in-charge.

Edit: Don’t bother reply me because I won’t reply back. And if you still want to do it, that’s it you won the argument over the internet. I /surrender (Funny thing is that this is available to raiders).

Where did this ridiculous rumor about how raids are ‘not accessible’ start?

There are literally no prerequisites or hard lockouts other than simply owning the expansion. The only thing holding players back is their own choice to not raid.

If you choose not do to something, don’t complain. Learn to adapt to the content instead of expecting ArenaNet to adapt everything to you.

I wonder why you post here? Do you really think the players posting here are not adapting to any changes made by ANet? Do you really think they will quit the game because ANet ignore their suggestion? What do you think they will do if ANet won’t even care about the suggestion here? Adapting to changes.

When it’s not affecting you, please don’t rub salt into the wounds of other people. Another thing, no one is really talking about the accessibility of raid. Pretty sure it was about the unfair treatment between raid and non-raid player. Or non-raid player not allowed to complain now? Maybe all the player MUST RAID now?

How is it unfair? I have to go do the open world snorefest to get my mastery points and unlock spirit shard acquisition too. Sometimes they force people to do content they don’t want to do, it’s not unfair towards any group, every group is put in this situation by something.

If you think it’s not unfair, OK, I respect that. My view is the opposite.

No, it’s objectively fair to everyone in that everyone is forced out of their preferred play to jump through hoops they’ve set up. Do I enjoy it? Hell no. Would I like to see spirit shard acquisition done differently? Hell yes.

It’s just to sit here and say that you’re specifically unfairly treated because you have to jump through a hoop is just… well wrong. I had to go do a bunch of content that I found tiresome to get Leyline gliding so I could actually do raids. Sound familiar?

Can I not have different view than yours? Are you going to argue about it?

What if I tell you I like open world content?

I also have to do a bunch of content I don’t like to do to get enough mastery points. Adventures are the worst. I always hate to do all this collection and achievement since the game was released. But back then we only get achievement points so I don’t bother about it. Now I have to do it to get enough points. I hate to do it as well.

No matter what is your view or mine, it’s up to ANet to decide. What I don’t like most of the time when I view the forums is that a lot of people here cannot respect other people have their own view and want to win an argument.

We actually have the same view on this I believe, that this system sucks.

But, it’s fair no matter how you look at it, it’s not a matter of opinion or view. Raiders don’t get handed the spirit shard acquisition, they just happen to have voluntarily jump through this hoop that is now slightly more rewarding than it was in the past.

And whatever you like in the game, doesn’t matter, go have fun with what you enjoy. But, we all have to jump through the same hoops to get the shinies we seek, and there are various hoops that different people are going to enjoy to different degrees.

Like I said, if you think it’s a fair system then I respect that. I do understand raiders have to do a lot of things they don’t like to do as well. That’s why they get the best rewards in the game. I did list some of them on the previous page.

The suggestion listed by Galeom.6832 did not take anything away from anyone. In fact, everyone will get spirit shards. Do you think this is a bad idea? Or do you think people who don’t raid are not worth getting any spirit shards?

Why I say unfair is because previously anyone who is at lvl80 will get spirit shards when they level up. Now only raiders get it when they max their HoT mastery one day. This is my personal opinion feel free to disagree.

I was thinking of making similar post. First I want to comment on people who don’t see non-raiders not getting any spirit shards despite maxing all the HoT mastery except raid not a problem. Either you’re a raider or you’re insensitive towards other people.

I would give a simple analogy here. You are sitting on your chair in front of your computer enjoying your life, doesn’t mean everyone in the world are happy like you. There are always someone on some part of the world having a hard time. You’re allow to voice your disagreement if the suggestion here will negatively impact your gameplay. Don’t argue for the sake of argument just because you don’t see any problem.

For you raiders who don’t see it as a problem. Raiders already get all the best thing in game.
-Legendary armor (Yes, you guys deserved by doing hard content)
-Extra story of what currently happening to LW (Still bitter about this)
-Higher drop rate of ascended gear box
-New weapon skin
-Spirit shards after maxing all the HoT mastery (This is the one we’re talking here)
-More content update since HoT was released
Think about it. As a non-raider this means I will not be able to get any spirit shards when I max my experience FOREVER! I won’t call this discrimination, I would say it’s unfair to us, non-raiders.

Back to topic. I like Galeom.6832 suggestion and I hope something will be done about it. If it can’t be done because of technical problem then I would suggest Raid Mastery to be move out and not tie to HoT mastery.

PS: I don’t raid doesn’t mean I’m casual.

Got the reaper hood so updated my main again.

Update my necros/reapers look after 3 years.

Here is my take on Hot. I haven’t log in since it was released after knowing the requirement of 400 HP. Even though Anet said each hero’s challenges worth 10 HP, I knew it will be group events. And I was right.

There’s this magical feeling for first time exploring something new in a game for me. What I was expecting was that I can do this magical (virgin) exploration with my reaper not my necromancer. Of course I don’t expect to fully unlock the reaper but I was thinking to have at least the traits unlocked for the exploration (with the initial ~200 HP from world completion) so that I can learn the profession while doing it. From what read I can only use the new weapon and minor traits while doing the harder group event in the new maps.

Also I have 18/19 level 80s character (>6500 hours of play time). At first, I want to unlock at least 13-14 of them. Now I think I would only unlock reaper for my necro. Basically this is the same as the traits unlock back then minus the alternative method to do it. Imagine if Anet forced the players to unlock traits ONLY through the events, I’m pretty sure a lot of people will be unhappy with it.

I don’t care about grinding mastery, and I am ok with all these mushroom jumping, higher tier gliding unlock. I just want to grind it with my functional reaper with traits I can change when needed. I’ll not log in now because I’m disapointed with what Anet did. Will I log in in the future if Anet keep on with it? I would say yes after my initial resentment is gone. I’ll just do the story and unlock my reaper and be done with it until the next story chapter announced.

I’m going to make a sylvari. This is how she’s going to look like.

I do agree about the consume conditions. I hate it when a healing skill put a negative effect when used for any class. It should not happened in the first place. However, I’m pretty sure Anet won’t change it, might as well try to make it not as bad as it is now.

First I want to say good job to Robert for the change. I think they’re great and there are synergies even with the reaper spec. However I still cannot agree about the change to consume conditions.

I understand why he want to do that, the risk is there but the reward is not. Currently there’s no point in taking MoC compare to the other two. Here I want to suggest a bit more rewards when we take MoC.

Retain the current conditions when we use the corruption skill with MoC but add a bit more.

Consume conditions: Give us 2 seconds of resistance like someone suggested here. Why 2 seconds instead of 4?
4 seconds is a bit too strong for resistance and basically no risk in using the skill. 2 seconds can give us the time to react on what we should do next. To transfer the conditions away, or go into shroud, dodge to avoid burst, etc.

Plague: Let us corrupt a boon up to 2 foes every 2seconds.
Currently the risk is too high for this skill and it can even kill us if we’re using full condi build with +condi duration. Basically the longer we stay in plague the more dangerous we become to our enemy and to our self.

Blood is Power: Gain 2stacks of might for 8seconds to our self.
This one can be a double edge sword since it will also increase the damage we take from torment and bleed, but at the same time we can choose to transfer them.

Corrupt boon: Convert a condition into a boon.
This one is obvious no need to say more.

Epidemic: Increase the maximum of stack that we can spread to 30.
This increased limit only useful in PVE I believe. If a player have 25 stacks of burn, bleed, torment and etc., he’ll die before we can even use the skill. Even in boss fight there’s hardly any mobs we can use it to maximize it.

The last one is corrosive poison cloud. I really have no idea what to do with it since I never really use it before. Maybe someone who had used it before can give some idea.

I told myself to walk away and re-roll after looking at the changes, I just can’t. Please revert Consume Conditions to the way it was.

Edit: Also there are traits that add more damage to vulnerable foes. Basically some of the professions can deal more than damage to us every time we heal. This is unfair to us.

You really believe he’s going to buff vampiric aura? I’m just glad that he didn’t nerf it even more since we can share it now.

Gemini K.8529:

No. I’d fear a chronomancer or dragonhunter using a hammer+gs+traps more so far. But we’ll see after the stream tomorrow.

Totally agree with you. Also a slow attack and movement melee means easy to kite. Even a normal shortbow thief can easily kill the reaper.
I’ll have to watch the stream tomorrow to decide to keep on playing necromancer or to reroll mesmer since they got speed boost for one of its minor trait.

From what I read, it looks like the change is permanent. I thought they don’t have to use the elite spec to get the new F1-F5 skills.

One thing I noticed is the change to virtues outside of elite spec. I didn’t see any guardians asking for the change and they got one. Same for mesmers and Engineers, both got and extra F5 skill.

Now most of the people here asking a some way to change the deathshroud mechanics, and if it’s still the same F1 I’ll be sad. Just hope we can get F2-F5 as an extra skill besides having F1 as our deathshroud.

Muahaha… new hair. Been looking a suitable short hair for a while.

I have both the Quip and Flameseeker Prophecies. If I can only keep one, I’ll choose the shield. It can pair with any pistol and still looks good, especially the ascended pistol.

Quip is quite ok because of the purple aura. Also we’re engineers, we can make a toy gun to be deadly. That’s what I always told myself when I look at it.

Updated my new look.

My second elementalist
Also finally got the look I want.

This is my second necromancer. Trying to make her look like the brawler type. Not sure which one is nicer.

The shoulders is the cultural human T2. Can’t help with the boots, but I suspect it’s the cultural human boots as well.

My other engineer, Kyle with the part of the new Viper armor.

2nd picture the same armor.

Seras.5702:

Great jacket MingYew. What is that??

Thanks. It’s the 500 Gems, Krytan armour.

This is my engineer

Maybe it’s the off peak hour for your server at that time. The good thing is that you can guest to any server you want. Try guest to Jade Quarry, Blackgate, Sanctum of Rall, or Tarnished Coast.

The developer’s posts in this thread make sad. It shows that’s they will nerf that profession if people are asking for it. Serious, I can go into Tpvp for 50 matches and record them, then present the one which shows necros are OP.

hmmm… maybe I can show videos of how bad is necros. Will the devs buff necros now? I always thought they buff/nerf base on combat logs/calculations, own observation, or play the game.

I did a test and it agrees with 120% of our HP. What I did was find a high place that I knew I won’t die when I jump down, and then repeat it with DS on when near the bottom. Comparing my remaining HP with the remaining DS left after that leads me to roughly 120% of our HP.

This is my mesmer, April.

Edit: My new look.

HAHAHA, SOS just prepare to lose and drop tier. We, JQ are sure to win and keep on crushing you no matter what. Even ppl from SBI hate you guys that they come to us and help us to crush you.

Good job JQ, we’re number one.

Edit: I forgot, even PRX come to us.

SoS has been through worse. This was SoS 5 months ago:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4ntkZC6RTg

I have such fond memories if that matchup…

…and am so sad to now see ET ranked 24th from 24 US servers.

Exactly my point. SoS stands the test of time whilst other servers are temporary. I’m putting my money on BG being the next server to plummet in ranking.

JQ has stood the test of time mind you. They’ve been in Tier 1 since launch. Clearly, you’re not talking about longevity in being #1 since BG hasn’t been #1 yet.

People seem to forget JQ has been in tier 1 since launch.

Now FA also hate SOS. Well SOS really GW2’s population #1 enemy.

Edit: I came here looking for score update but all I see was these kind of stuff. That’s why I add some more to it. Haha

Be careful of gloating before you win the thing – otherwise you could just look dumb if you don’t win.

And as others have posted, yesterday was Australia Day and so fewer aussies were on (who form much of the strength of SoS). The score will look different by the end of the weekend.

Nice to have some strong competition out there

We’ll see, lol. For the new guilds transferred to SOS better go to JQ if can. JQ will welcome you guys.

Are you sure JQ won’t win this week?
With them boasting their numbers and guild transfered in this thread here:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/Jade-Quarry-A-24-7-WvW-Establishment
I’ll be surprise if they cannot win this this week and the future weeks to come.

Personally, I like the idea of melee staff.
This is what I’m thinking, Staff #1 will attack small area in front, with scythe animation, with range of 600 and higher damage if within 300 range, and bleed foes.
Staff #2 will leap us forward 900/1200 range and whirl the scythe once and damage anyone at range of 300/600, and cripple and bleed foes.
Staff #3,4,5 will remain the same, putting marks.

It does sound a bit overpower here.

Based on this thread, I think reanimator is there to stay.

Seeing that your main concern is about survivability, you can buy the masterwork trinklets and give it a try first. I’m thinking about the same thing as well just that currently don’t have time to try it yet.
Can you please let me know if you can survive in dungeons or fractals with those jewels? I would like to know the results from others as well.
