Guild Wars 2

I just wish we had the option to hide stowed weapons.

I’m about to get my 24.5k and I’m only getting 1 laurel, so enjoy your extra laurel

Opinion is opinion.

Thanks again, eSports.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: It makes no sense to monetize the game through PvE (gemstore purchases) and balance it on PvP.

This is also a big slap in the face to Mesmers who haven’t bought HoT since the nerf to PoM is clearly the result of Chronomancer.

I’ve been doing my gathering routes recently and seen the same group of reapers parked with a full minion army in the same spot for many hours at a time. They’re often there when I go to bed and there when I log on the next day.

All the while their minions are killing the dredge that spawn, keeping them in combat and generating loot for their pact commander perk to auto-loot.

This type of ‘exploit’ has existed before with AI but has needed some form of botting-looting system, now that anet has facilitated this type of farm is it still against the ToS?

If you believe it to against the ToS, how should I go about reporting these players? Surely accruing loot and wealth whilst not at your computer isn’t allowed?

Comparing simply aa,

The staff aa is “strong” in its attrition. Its impossible to blind or weave a beam attack that’s ticing over 2x a second and pierces.

Longbow aa you can blind and weave most of its dmg short of the ranger just standing still and letting their character auto-face. Not to mention the level of projectile hate ingame atm.

So which aa is better?
-Longbow aa @ >1200-2000 range.
-Staff aa @ 0-<1200 range.

But in truth the better aa is the one that comes with what you need on said weapon set.
-dmg/stealth/cc/aoe cc
-heals/mobility/projectile hate

Which aa is better is irrelevant.

throw hands in air THIS

Why the hell is anyone uses the autoattack on those weapons for anything other than filler. You use the weapon for the WEAPON, not autoattack. Get off GW2 if you’re using staff auto as your attack of choice.

Considering two to three of our weapons have pretty much all their damage on the auto, it’s not hard to see why people think this way.

That’s ok big servers, we’ll just head to the kiddie table…. EotM FTL

I like high wood prices, Gives peeps some other ways to make gold.

Take a moment to appreciate this person

And yes, its an ele.

Actually arcane shield is WAY better than mistform.

Mistform doesn’t allow you to do ANYTHING while active, so it simply means you’ll die 3 seconds later. Just like Rebound!

Arcane shield lets you use healing and mobility skills while active, AND it does damage when it breaks too! And it doesn’t prevent point capture.

Thx u 3 years fun…

With the removal of Cele and without any gear with healing/vit/toughness/power/condi I refuse to be the masturbation object of a Thief and Mesmer and instagibed over and over.

I can find me another game to have fun with it, this game does not deserve this sort nerve breakdown.

Stop the QQ. Ele been op for a long long time.
“I cant be op… I’ll quit game”. Play a different profession or make ele viable in a different way .. Maybe at least give the new amulets a try. Take it as a challenge.
Thieves been rly weak for a long time and so have warriors been since the release of HoT… And guess what not all the players who main’ed a war or thief quit the game.
also.. They might add the amulets back to the game if stuff doesnt work out as anet said.

People like you disgust me. Do you really think players who have played ele for 3+ years never tried to build other specs or use other amulets?

ELE DOES NOT WORK WITH ANYTHING BESIDES CELE STATS. It is built around those stats, and it’s defenses are too. Take away those stats and the class falls apart.

It has been like this since release. At release eles could actually afford to run zerker stats because RTL had 12 seconds cooldown and you could heal while in mist form. When those things taken away ele was COMPLETE GARBAGE FOR A YEAR. People always forget that year it seems.

Then celestial was buffed and eles were back to playable again.

With the removal of cele we need 15ish second RTL and healing in mistform back. Otherwise ele is dead.

+1

exactly

I don’t care about their e-sport, this is a game I paid for it and I want to enjoy it.

If they think certain builds/amulets make their e-sport boring, they can forbid use the builds/amulets to be used for they tournaments.

I am sick and tired that they are killing my fun every kittened balance patches which are taking diversity away from us, making the game I paid more boring and boring.

First jewels from the amulets, then stats from traits, then only 3 trait lines, now certain amulets, next what we are only allowed to play builds approved from devs or what?

Balance your e-sports another way and let me play my game.

OP is doing something wrong.

LOL, I usually destroy/consume 250-500 of those every day.

So instead, ANET returns us to the all – berserker-all-the -time days. If kicking casuals out of pvp is the goal, this is a step in the right direction.

This will not promote skilled play, because the style will be to crush the keyboard super fast. The first player to land the burst combo wins. That’s both stupid and ugly in my opinion and it is certainly not skilled gameplay.

ArenaColin:

In regards to balance – balance is NOT driven by our PvP Pro League, the pro league is a marketing effort that has almost zero impact on our dev team. Drawing parallels between the two is at best disingenuous.

I beg to differ.

If you want to know what the new changes will be, just think of things that will make the eSports viewing experience more enjoyable. It won’t be about casual enjoyment, at least not primarily.

that mirracle how shoutcasters didn’t ragequited commenting this meta. Big props to them to not use swearing while describing those plays. Really.

One of my favorite lines from the casters…

“And they almost got him down, yet again!”

Bottoms up!

Lambria.1849:

this is where it gets complicated, i live in a small town and prefer to buy a gem card as it would give exactly 2000 gems to buy it, i wouldn’t have had to spend extra money and end up with extra gems. If i had known i would have picked up a card when i left town, its a 20 min drive. i have a card now…

That outfit was put on the gemstore on Oct 23rd, so you had a few days to swing by store and buy a card if the 20 minute drive and the exact number of gems was the consideration.

Just a gentle reminder for the devs : do not be misguided and blinded by the apparent truth, have the courage for once to go behind the symptoms , to go to the real causes of the problem. For once dear devs, try to balance the game from an objective point of view rather than simply try to please the angry mob

This guy, month s ago perfectly nailed it :

Vague Memory.2817
Anet trys to balance using self-interested views from the forum rather than being more objective, that is why after a balance patch things just get worse. There are blatant changes that need to be made that focuses PvP on player skill rather than passive or op effects, but they don’t have the courage to make these changes because of the outrage from people who will lose their advantage over others. Anet’s response is to even things out by giving everyone OPness which unbalances things even more.

Ok so no you have problems with bunker mesmer; so ask yourself why mesmers use bunker builds over shatter chrono? The answer is simple : Too much damage flying around and not enough sustain for a shatter build

Dear devs do try to remember how GW2 balance was just after HoT release…there were a lot of power builds like marauder tempest and why all those builds quickly disappeared?…I have two answers : DragonHunter and Power herald, the damage of these two builds is still off the MMO charts ( 12k dmg on a 4s CD + evade and teleport..what?? )

But hey let’s not forget about Reaper and the outrageous chill damage + dmg modifier on chilled enemies..

You have to realize something, dear devs, bunkers exist as a consequence of extreme burst , most professions are cutted out from the dps meta because of overly strong apex predators . To really balance the game, you must, must, must take in consideration both sides of the coin, it;’s that simple

Amazing point. Hadn’t even thought of that. I do miss the diversity 8v8’s brought to the table.
