Guild Wars 2

Looking at people who think, that 100 dunges is too much to get your endgame gear is kinda funny. U can repeat same instance 5 times in a row, so you will be done within 20 days. In other NC Soft’s games (LAII Aion and I know it cuz I played both) you could farm your endgame gear for years So GW2 is kinda of a dream-come-true for people who got tired if gear grind fest in such a games. GW2 was the whole new philosophy of mmo that you not suppose to gear-to-win, so let it be like it. Lets us pvp and rely on our skills and experience, not on gears that we grind. KITTEN

Necromancer pets are truly entertain themselves no matter if you want them to do so or not. Often happens that after killing one mob they run for another to some far away location even if you are not planning to kill anything else It is cool to farm events actually, u can pull all your pets and afk in event area (such events where u have to protect something, like harpys not far from AC entrance). Pets AI need some improvements. And turrets of engi pull too much agro too, for necro’s pets to pull agro is ok, but turrets not suppose to pull agro 100% all the time.
Totally agreed with Xel, not like other games have better pet AI, but at least in other games u can somehow control your pets. In GW2 pets just do what they want and you can’t stop them from doing so, game lacks some “stop attacking”, “sit here”, “attack this target” commands. I dunno, mb rangers have em, but necros, elementist and engi surely don’t
And also necros pets do not doe aoe damage much, and I do not run pets in group events like dunges or pvp. Necros pets more for 1v1 or solo pve.

no gear to win is good thing. something like pvp ranking, or championships or titles that do not change your stats would be nice. and also 1v1 arena would be nice too.

kite him as much at possible. And also you have to be same level with him not to get hit too much, i went there when i was lower level that was recommended and got wiped couple times, then leveled a bit and everything went flawless. As a necro I also attracted him with my pets, he keeps attackig pets 1st.

Well may be I want to do some quests with group or something. it’s mmo, mmo meant to be played with other people, so handy LFG interface is must have. In Aion there is LFG interface and it is very simple and handy, and alot of groups that are not kittened are being recruited through LFG interface.
Now if you are going to do some instance – you have to stop all your quests and port to map where instance is and shout there for members, not too handy, i don’t like sitting on one spot and shouting for members when you actually can recruit and do your own stuff at the same time.
And if you think that all people have to be in guild – you are wrong, I’m not fan of randomly made guilds that will disband in half of year. If i will join guild – it will be certainly not to pve in instances and pick flowers together.
And also about being to lazy to form groups – not everyone can organize something well, some people just can not manage other people to do something. Other example is when you never done the instance before and you have no idea what to do or where to go – it will be kinda ignorant to recruit other people and lead them in to unorganized chaos and screw them. If you are going to lead group – you have to be certain with strategy and know the fight.

Necros are pretty low in numbers because they are bugged all to hell and minions are 100% worthless. I actually see more Mezmers than Necros.

Do you even play a necro?

Yes there are bugs with minions (sometimes not attacking your target) but so far i’m having a blast with mine.
Better control over the minions & fixing the not attacking bug would make for a better experience. I would say minions are (because of the chance that they dont attack) 50% worthless.
Rushing your flesh golem over a trail of enemies (10+) knocking them down is always fun in WvW, same for 8v8 spvp (so far max 5 in a row knocked down)

Are you 80?

Just so u know in pvp every1 is 80 lol. I play necro and not rushing with level, cuz at my lvl 36 I can pvp as much as I can. WvW on necro is a blast for sure. Bone minion is so cool, especially knock down whole crowd of people. And necro circles with staff do alot of stuff that helps your allies and screws your enemies. And you can do decent midranged damage with axe. Only thing that minions act more like cats and do what they want sometimes, sometimes they kill mob by themselves while you running around doing nothing. Sometimes they refuse to attack lol. In pvp you not gonna run full minion build anyway, you have so much fields and transformations and other cool stuff to chose from.
And omg Norn women have best boobs ingame! How come they are least played race? 0o I personnaly have asura necro as main toon, norn mesmer for arena pvp fun and charr engineer for WvW sieges (canons rock). I dunno is it me or Charr Engi runs kinda slow though, can’t find any skill that will improve speed cept that random elic skill, that doesn’t always apply run speed boon 0o
Looked up the pole, Charr Mesmer female is what I’ve created first, but then those pink butterflies with her brutality just don’t fit so badly so I’ve recreated to Norn Charr engi on the other hand looks like great combination, cuz Charrs specialized on all kind of gunsmith and stuff. Asura more like magic professions, they mention in one of story quest that Asura possess more magic than any other race.

I’ve just posted in other thread about AC, it is pure disappointment. Explore mode was impossible to finish (Asura path) for group that had most players of lvl 50+, only I was lvl 33. We died infinite times and spent hella lot of money to repair gears and got nothing. 1st boss dropped green dagger and blue shield for whole group, so 3 of 5 ppl got nothing. And we could not complete second boss cuz of mobs that kept overwhelm us, wasted 2 hours there for nothing. And gorgules that 1shot you, srsly, who designed such things that 1shot players?!
And Relic, how do you think we gonna control, aoe, kite, blind 50+mobs that keep multiplying and run faster than we do with runspeed buffs?

2nd boss = the Lieutanent? Or one of the bosses down the paths? I found path one (the one involving the ghost) to be very doable though it takes a while to figure out the strategy. Once you’ve the strategy nailed down it is a very reasonable encounter.

No, i think you are talking about story mode where Rythlock is your guide. Story mode is possible to finish and somewhat fun when you boulder everything.
I am talking about exploration mode, where you get to camp with male human and then pick up with whom are you going to proceed, we picked up asura (tiny guy), and after that 1st boss was swordsman that pulls you, stuns and 1shots with spinning attack. Kinda dodge or die. and as for 2nd boss we didn’t even got there, cuz we needed to fill somekinda devices with energy first, and those devices were being attacked by swarms of gravelings, and I can not see how was it possible to do it with our group setup, we had mostly squishy classes who were eventually dead before devices are ready and one warrior who was able to kite mobs abit more but not long enough to finish. Killing those mobs were not anyhow possible, cuz they kept multiplying.

I say recreate while it is low level, will take couple days to catch up when you know where to go and what to do. And also smaller – better because it is harder to target you in pvp

Find Asura gate in your origin city and go through it to Lion’s Arch, then get Asura gate to other race origin city, I like Charrs area cuz they have some really funny quests, like launching cows through catapult. Human’s area is kinda boring, same farms all around. And don’t forget to proceed with storyline too (green quests) it will bring you to other locations.
I wouldn’t say that scaling reward are poor, got lvl 26 blue bow out of lvl1 simple rabbit other day. Reward is getting scaled for your lvl too.

Axe/dagger do lots of damage, dagger/dagger not too good, cuz you have to go melee and you lose your advantage of ranged class, necro is too squishy to go melee unless it is ranger or other bow user, cuz they get more damage with range.
I lvled Necro up to 30 just for WvW, to have all skills and everything Elite skill that spawns bone undead beast (forgot the name) is very cool, cuz it cripples foes and does good damage too. And when you see crowds – staff is good in combination with radiation and poison AoEs. Fields that u put with staff are very useful for group pvp/pve and you can remove conditions from allies, you can transfer condition to yourself and then pass it to your enemy or transform conditions into boons.

I haven’t pve on Mesmer much cuz I hate pve mostly, so I’ve made lvl 5 mesmer and pvp all day long in arena. Love GS and Sword/Pistol weapon sets. And all those clones make so much distraction. And you can not be finished as fast as other players, cuz you simply switch yourself with clone and sit aside while your enemy tries to figure out which one is actual you GS does decent damage. And you have a lot of stuff to confuse your enemy. I mostly use hide that switches you with clone, brake stun and jump away skill, field that increases skill casting for all your allies. Mesmer is fun. In solo pve it should be fine, in group pve it is not as useful as other classes (like guardians, elementalists, engineers, necros) I guess.
What I’ve figured so far is that staves and scepters do not do much damage, to increase your damage use GS or sword/pistol. Staves and scepters more for supportive/controlling builds.

People who post here that AC is easy balanced and everything consider what type of AC did you run? Once again story mode is possible, cuz zerg of mobs does not overrun you there. Now go ahead and do explore mode and pick Asura path and lets see what will you say then. How much will you spend for repairs and what loots will you get. GW2 was advertised as casual game actually and “we know what players want”. I haven’t seen any players that appreciate impossible instances with small and useless for their classes rewards.
And I totally agree with Javed, targeting system is a total mess, tab target sometimes seem to pick random targets behind you for instance, which you don’t even see, that red arrow kinda not so visible as it should be, so you have hard time to understand what are you targeting at all.
And also game doesn’t work too good with some advanced mise, like A4tech with extra buttons. If I use extra buttons for forward/backward run – I can not click on anything else with mouse for instance, cuz game just ignores any other clicks from mouse when one button is pushed. Sometimes when you rotate camera cursor keeps moving while it is invisible, so after you finish to rotate camera – you can not find your cursor. My hubby uses 2 screens, so his cursor jumps to other screen cuz of that and game goes out of focus and it is really confusing too.
And all those major issues of game interface passed through Betatest I can not get how?!?! And all those issues doesn’t make instances easier. And in pvp such issues are deadly.

Story mode is possible to do at least, but also you need to have tanky class and some good dps, if you are all lvl 30 it is kinda too hard, so how is it that lvl 30 instance inappropriate hard to do for lvl 30 chars. As for exploration mode – it is pure frustration and death after death for 2 hours for ridiculous reward.

I’ve just posted in other thread about AC, it is pure disappointment. Explore mode was impossible to finish (Asura path) for group that had most players of lvl 50+, only I was lvl 33.

can’t login either.

RNG in such games is so frustrating, instances loots are always items that u can’t use, mystic forge gives you weapons that u can’t use aswell. Why in universe GW2 has to have RNG too. Mystic Forges wiki says it is pure RNG unless you will buy recipe off the NPC.

We have picked Asura path in AC just now and spent 2 hours trying to pass by part where you protect 2 devices. Couldn’t finish it because mobs just overwhelm us over and over, spent hella lot of money on repairing for nothing and went out prettykittenupset. Even though most of players were lvl 50+ it seemed not possible anyhow to finish. And now that you saying, that after all this suffer we would get nothing makes me upset even more. It is just 100% horrible design of instance imo, especally gorgules and traps are so frustrating, cuz they are indestructable and 1shot you to death, so you have to avoid em all the time even after you cleared the path. And it is lvl 30 instance. What the hell will be at lvl 50 or 80?
