Git gud get stab

This… I’m sorry but there is nothing else to it. And if you claim to be good then it’s corruptions and bon removals that is you’re problem not the stuns themselves.

IF any of you guys who complain about getting cced actually were good players neither of you would be complaining aobut it. Thats just the nature of this topic.

You really dont need any more visual clues than the red circles. That is because if you know which classes can use ccs at different ranges, and corrupts at different ranges you also know where to stand and when to dodge to NOT lose your stab. You also know that if you have a skill that gives stab you use it proactively.
If the fight is drawn out for a longer period of time you would also have a feeling for when the enemies cc is ready.
It really isnt a problem with the cc, its a learning curve. You have no right to claim to be good in wvw and at the same time complain about mechanics that mostother players deal with successfully.

just buy the com tag already. even if u might say ull never use it now, u might think differently later, give it a shot
besides using com tag can be for many things like having second squads for people that didnt get into thye first squad or whatever.

So I just thought about Warbringer and how nice it would be if it would act as a light source similar to the Halloween backpiece from 2012. Considering the flames from it are far larger than any torch it would make sense. What do you guys think?

I noticed it too. It would be a nice qol change. +1

Holosmith

I found Holosmith to be increadibly fun. A mobile high damage e-spec. Just what I wanted.
However, some skills reduced this feeling of nimbleness. Specifically Sword #3. While others lacked meaningfullness like Sword #2 or Hard light Arena not giving allies boons.

Over all the creat damage made up for the icnreadible lack of survivability.
And all in all a muuuuuch more fun e-spec than Scrapper. imho

Here I’m gonna list things that I seem awkward with holosmith skills and traits.
Feel free to add your list.

Inconsistency
- Heat Therapy does not work with Medical Dispersion field
- photonic blasting module has a small delay after reaching maximum heat which is not stated in the tooltips

Fine tuning
- Sword 3 is not a leap finisher
- Photon Forge 5 is not a blast finisher
- hard light arena does not apply boons to allies ( i know its not supposed to, tho i feel it should)

It feels rly fun, yet clunky.

sword nr3 feels way too clunky at the start and landing.
Also the fact that prime light beam makes you stationary feels abit sad too.

editing for more impressions…

i dunno man I dont feel like this is a problem. Mounting up and dismounting works so smoothly anyways.

I cna totally see where all of the people are coming from who wanted gliding to be something more than what we got. However, I don’t feel like thats necessary: The main aspect of wvw (in my eyes) is the fighting, caping cvomes second.But fighting is what makes wvw fun.
Gliding is a bonus, and had it been something more it might have affected that part. Maybe for the better, maybe for the worse. Anyways Im pretty fond of how fights turn out in wvw atm and as such Im increadibly fond of how the gliding turned out!

p.s Theres ofc no stopping anet from giving gliding some siege options like dropping air bombs and stuff. Which sounds pretty fun to me. :P

Tyaen.5148:

Neftex.7594:

gliding is just another crutch for defenders

placing unreachable siege
prevents attackers from chasing and killing you
pulling players to their death and gliding away…

its kittenty mechanic

I couldn’t find a single new place to deploy siege in a Keep or Tower that you couldn’t place it before the change.

Pro tip: It doesn’t have to be inside the tower or keep wink wink

You descend fast enough for any new siege places to be very farfetched. Besides many places you can reach are already restriced from using siege. Its not gonna be much of a problem.

So far this change has only been good!

I rly dont feel like this is a big problem.

I have to say gliding in WvW works so well. Before the patch I was very skeptical but after playing around with it I can only see good things with it.
WvW got so much mroe exciting, but not jsut that. I got way more fluid. Moving in and out of keeps, jumping off walls, jumping off cliffs or jumping into towers.

I’m very satisfied with how it turned out.

McKenna and her team rocks!!

Agreed. Makes defending and scouting a lot smoother. Response times are now kinda faster too. As soon as the ‘exploits’ of gliding into structures get eliminated, I would love to see gliding stay as a feature. And the gradual introduction of mounts too in future.

Yes, ofc there are gonna be a need of some adjustments but i agree these things rly do spice thing sup!

Guys guys guys…. There are tons of people with tons of different ideas of what an interesting way to play the holosmith would be like, No need to argue about it, make a video of how you play holosmith and make us amazed!!

Not a necro main, but man this is gonna be so much fun in WvW!!

Watching the postshow yesterday where we got to see some details about the new expac was about as awesome as the announcement itself, but one thing that made me so happy was the fact that the new elite specs have in-game lore tied to them.

For example on WoodenPotato’s stream he showed one of the mesmers who had become a Mirage, Elite Awakened Trebuchet I believe her hame was(jkjk), and you could ask her stuff about being a Mirage. What it means. How you become one etc.

How cool is that?!?!? I think it’s so awesome. And from what I understood there are these things about all the new e-specs.

Awesome job Anet!

probably because you cant use your f-skills while holding abanner, and the revs utilities are tied to their f-skills. prob not intended tho

Nah dude they don’t have to revert the timers. I don’t even notcie they were changed. In fact, the numbers given by mckenna (spelling might be off) was very fair.

If you’re one of those “i need to scout every tower” guys, then jsut tell your com so he or she can give to participation.

My headgear that I transmuted into Bloodstone Crown refuse to accept my new dye change. It doesnt change at all and the dyes in the panel changes back to the previous ones.

NEVERMIND: … I now realized I thought I copied an actualy dye, but inr eality it said “dye remover” what in the name of the six

?

Looks pretty awesome to me!

Where did you get that image?

It’s the wiki picture!

Samnang.1879:

Warbringer, where have you been all my life?

I deserve this…I hope we dont need mithril rank to get this though lmfao.

Anet, you’ve outdone yourselves on this backpack…

IKW its legit af! It gets cooler the more I look at it!

Andromeda.8293:

It has 2 capes!

I’m going to be fabulous!

Yes!!!

Deniara Devious.3948:

Limodriver.4106:

they forgot to say it requires Diamond rank for the final tier lol.

I really hope this is not true. I personally have much higher WvWvW rank than most players (despite not doing EotM), but from
https://gw2efficiency.com/account/statistics/statistics.wvwRank

We can see that the average GW2 players has WXP rank 48 (median) and 277 (average). For those who have played over 4000h+ the numbers are WXP rank 457 (median), 896 (average). 99.5 % = the vast majority haven’t even reached mithril rank.
The number of diamond rank players is very small and I am sure most of them farmed quite a bit of EotM as well.

I wouldnt worry too much about it. And ranks prob wont be the only thing needed, especially with the new ticket thingys. Let it take time, and enjoy having a long time goal! Thats what ima do.

I like where this is going. Kudos to WvW team!

Looks pretty awesome to me!

Svarty.8019:

WvW is having issues with the damage creep.

Even tier3 doors and walls can’t prevent a determined group from standing in a safe-spot and using weapon skills to destroy a door.

This is a problem because THERE IS NO COUNTERPLAY.

…

Yeah there is… determined group to defend a tower is the counter to a determined group who wanna cap it

SkyShroud.2865:

People like that are using guilds like a LFG, it makes the value of the guild worthless and for most part, contributing nothing to the guilds they are part of.

Most definitely not. Guilds who are looking to create and maintain strong communities will and have always filetered out memebrs who dont follow rep rules, are inactive or just seem to use the guild bonuses for their own interest.

Then who’s to say how a guild is supposed to be used apart from the one who created the guild in the first place? There are tons of guilds whose sole purpose is one specific piece of content and not to create a community.

the ability to place out critters whereever u want would be cool

I’d like to see increased guild slots upgrade. To basically increase the amount of guilds you can join (not represent)

Illconceived Was Na.9781:

I’d pay gems for this.

A lot of people have asked for this. When it’s come up in other forum threads, some have questioned why anyone would want 6+ guilds (some seem perturbed at the very idea). I can’t see any harm to the existing guild structure and lots of potential benefit for those interested (and ANet). The only question is: how easy would it be to design, test, implement, and maintain?

I cant see any reason why any1 would dispise the idea. Especially if its gated behind gems or smth

I dunno if theres been a thread about it, but itd be nice to see gemstore upgrades to the amount of guilds u can join.
Unless its impossible to implement i guess

superior rune of guardian

Joshhh.2076:

The dolly pretty much sprints back to the camp if you don’t own SM, so its a lot faster than it continuing its slow walk on to SM.

I never thought about that. Interesting.

Kaizoku.1298:

A kittening OFFHAND sword ? I really hope you can dual wield it god kitten it.
Nah I’m just kidding, as long as the traits and skills that come with it are good I’m game..

The necro picture had a torch in it’s right hand so it could be an artistic slip.

How much faster do the out towers such as Quentin Lake and Durios get upgraded if your team doesn’t own Stonemist?
It seems to me the dolly would get back to the camp at the same time. If you own SM the dolly would teleport back to the camp, and if you don’t the dolly would run back.

So if you don’t take into account the fact that the dolly has to run through an area with alot of roamers, which one is the fastest?

My client has been downloading close to 4g now. I asked in game and they said the aptch was only 900ish mb. Any1 knows whats going on?

ive been playing regularly since last patch so i havent got any left overs from then.

haha thats some nice coordination.

This would be very helpful. Also if asigned leutenants could put markers for all parties too.

edit: i mean ofc a ctrl T marker , not a squad marker

alt. give us key binds to swtich to a “squad” marked target.

Nikkinella.8254:

SKilled play should be rewarded. If you get downed when you 3 vs 1 someone, you deserve to die completely and not be carried by downstate to save you.

If you’re unable to kill a player through down state after 5 years of the game beign out, then you dont deserve that kill. Simple as that. If you wanna play without downstate go play something else.

im not even mad

Dawdler.8521:

Well I think we should be able to dress up as dollys and transport supplies ourselves, saving dolly lives and be able to ambush players trying hit them by going “surprise kitten, I’m not a dolly!”.

i like that idea! u know what why not go all out and let engineers put their turrets on a dolly too!

sigil of resto/luck and stamina are great for zerging especially if ur a cheap kitten and dont care about the extra benifits of other sigils
energy isnt needed if u know how to position well in the first place

Would be nice if we could interact with a friendly dolly to take some ofits supply.
This would be good if a dolly is headed for tower or keep that has already been taken by the enemy team or is about to be taken.

You can rally off any veteran creatures

Reading the forums this seems to be subjective.

AquaBR.9250:

I was thinking: “What if you had a function, like a mastery, like a job, on WvW”.
You equip it like a espec maybe in a exclusive slot and BOOM! You have special utilities and traits. What im talking about?
Look:

…

I love the idea! There are a few things that struck me tho

1. Balance
How would these jobbs/traits be balanced or regulated?
Because, what’s to stop everyone from takling the option thats most efficient and then sticking with it?
Would there be any rank restrictions?
- Maybe a set number of individuals per map who can trait each line?
- would they be tied to a squad / handed out by the commander like leuetenant is today?

2. what would happen with profession skill balance?
Would these jobbs be better off if they didnt affect player skills at all and more about structiors, scouting, sieges etc?
- maybe give a player the ability to place cannon blue prints or mortar blue prints that other players cannot get (like ur ideas too)

3. This would defo spice up the game type. good job!

Nice! I had no idea there were this much stuff in movies and series Thats pretty kitten

Just watched the latest Paranormal Activity movie and in one scene theres a short sequence where they show a Gw2 mouse pad. Thought that was kinda cool :P

Any1 knows other movies where they got gw2 stuff? :P

VaaCrow.3076:

Go to pve lmao.

Dawdler.8521:

Harpy? Its up 100% of the time on desert, veteran creature is dead simple nowadays.

It seems to spawn in two different locations.

Aury.1367:

Maybe thats because people feel like anet has canceled the whole WvW-support. I saw I got aggressive and salty the last months. No reason to act like this in PvE. But WvW is just depressing.

thats subjective tho, so the best solution would be to either take a break or dosomething else until they implement new things that might interest u
