Guild Wars 2

Dear Devs who read posts.

Standard Models. They’re happening, and that’s cool. But as they are now happening, realistically we will need to re-roll humans because at this ‘top level’ you are alluding to, how we present our own animations matter (precast/after cast/terrain etc).

So being such a forum hero, wanted to #first asking for an option to enable standard models on allies too. Players that like to hide animations, use verticality/terrain will benefit from such transparency in what their opponents see, and I guess now’s the time to ask for it.

Thx

P

tell me more about this stunlock condispam

so you’re angry about the gamemode

….said nobody in the mists, ever.

+1 aussie

these forums are full of sad, sad people today though

Such a shame

After the Gold Rush [NA] is a newly formed guild thingy (bit PvE I know), but it’s for tpvp guys and gals that have swapped regions.

Anyone who’s jumped across the pond is welcome, having already shown a certain dedication to pursuing esports. You can also invite one or two of your NA mates to stay in touch, provided they regularly troll guild chat.

Look me up IG @ Perdix.8641

Oh we got three custom arenas for us to use exclusively too

For sure, I can’t say we’re entirely happy with the meta right now either. Changes are coming.

Haters gonna hate and all that.. Best of luck addressing some of the useful feedback here though.

There’s still people who’ve played enough mmos to know you guys are doing a good job, keep it up.

Longbow warriors are not representative of the class as a whole, much as I find defective and anas tactics to be strong players.

Melee warriors are the key concern here and these should be represented.

In my efforts to avoid duo warrior I’ve never played with k pop, but I’ve heard good things and if he wants to speak for the few of us remaining on the next SotG I’d be down for that.

‘carrying’ bad solo q players against premade isn’t fun. It’s not fun. It’s not fun.

It’s not fun

Lexander.4579:

do you dumb LoL kids even know what word “Elo” means?

Electric Light Orchestra silly

Because it would be the go-to for lameness if they just removed cele+soldiers

Me and several friends were cursing this bug last night so I decided to check the forums to see what ANet is doing about it. I’m not one to complain about things normally, but for those of us who played substantially on EU servers before switching this bug has been very detrimental to our spvp experience (we simply have received NO tpvp rewards for weeks).

Furthermore we are not receiving paid tournament ticket refunds, so for those who decide to ignore this bug and enter paid DO NOT cancel the queue as you will lose the tickets (again we lost about 10-15 from this).

Finally just to clarify this supposed tourney chest ‘fix’ is it more tourney reward chests in general or does the quality (gold, silver bronze etc) make a difference to superseding the original total amassed on the EU servers?

Until we develop AI further we cannot artificially remake Teldo. His engi build however, whilst boasting some of the greatest build depth of anything in GW2, is not currently viable.

His build relied heavily on combo fields, and really struck at the heart of what the Engineer class was initially designed for.

Not this passive hammer scrapper nonsense. Blinds, combo stealth’s, and lots of smart kiting.

I stopped posting suggestions on the forums about a year ago, but thought of this trait the other day and felt obliged to post about it.

It would likely go in the explosive line, as this line has no place in any meta build post -HoT. It could replace any of the three GMs there (they’re all pretty much worthless atm), and would go something like this.

“Blast combo finishers activate twice”

This could then be combined with a change to the minor trait ‘Explosive Powder’, which could look something like this.

“Your Blast Combo finishers remove a condition”

This trait line can’t be used on builds because engineers lose sustain and condi removal from otherwise taking either Alchemy or Inventions. What this trait does is provide extra non-passive sustain (double water combo finishers) as well as double stealth finishers for a more viable stealth off of smoke bomb.

Bearing in mind with these traits current scrapper builds would gain nothing at all. All this would allow, is the return of a comparatively much higher skill cap set of builds reliant on bomb kit.

I’ve got hundreds if not thousands of hours PvP on every class in this game, so please don’t see this as in any way bias. I’d just love to see higher skill cap builds like this one returning to the game, without buffing their more brainless cousins.

Phaeton.9582:

The same stats means an easier game to balance, which ultimately is best for everyone.

Sorry :/

Sorry, but that statement is FALSE and the reasoning for it isn’t valid. I really hate seeing people spout it off.

When you have the extremes defined (which we do), then nothing can be more powerful than an extreme because it falls between them. If you see builds arise which are too good, they’re not too good because of the stat allocation system; they’re too good because of existing abilities. The problem you’ve created is that you have more viable builds which need balanced. That’s a good problem to have.

You see extremes, I see roles.

Multiple roles, and/or multiple trait lines to achieve them would be a huge step forward for the competitive game.

I would provide a full argument , but the list is too long and I have work

Zefrost.3425:

NO ONE in the entire game is ever going to kill a greatsword/hammer warrior ever again.

50g says otherwise after the patch, if this goes ahead :p

But yeah if this is correct it’s a bad change.. quite destructive really too as the property is already there…

Oh but still havn’t found an ele that can beat my dps guard

Meta =\= OP

They won’t because it would ‘split the community’

In the real world, however, (the one that knows this statement to be misleading) it would be a very good thing to see in the game.

I have awoken from a short sleep a bit groggy and Confused.

For some reason I wish to play Mesmer even more than before. . . My head was bleeding (possibly I was knocked out) Luckily the blood didn’t reach the text on my shirt “Berserker stance” it seemed to be immune. After wobbling around a bit I was able to keep myself from being knocked down due to my balanced stance. I feel like my dream was causing me a great deal of damage, but T. Bear taught me how to endure pain. I realized that this was all from the some clever Mesmer(possibly Fay my arch nemesis) trying to control my thoughts which caused me to go into a rampage. I was consoled quickly by the champion genius which calmed my mind and body like a healing surge. The genius whispered to me one thing and one thing only that I will take to my grave. . . . HHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMM/BBBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW!

The time is coming that my bow and hammer will crush many a foe, but who knows maybe I will dust off my Mace/Sword and Long Bow. Only time will tell. :P

ROFL

Could “GW2; a text based adventure” be the next SAB?

..but much like the quickness nerf this would hit warriors the hardest by far, so I suggest you two pipe down before someone takes this thread seriously…

What I rly don’t understand.. is why they make fear a full interrupt and implement perplexity?

Its like they want terror necros to have more condi spread..

But let’s face is it… going to WvW to work on your pvp is a bit like going to an orphanage to work on your boxing.

Sorry, I’m English please ignore me.

MeTx.6712:

I know Orange Logo didn’t run ele in the finals, but that team could win with 5 naked spirit rangers if they so desired.

You are vastly over-estimating the skills of oRNG, or writing off a team like the abjured. Also, you kind of miss the point. oRNG didn’t run a team with no ele because they were hipsters, their actually team-comp was designed to be the COUNTER to eles. The abjured have like-wise swapped to a no-ele team that is so potent at taking down cele builds.

Teams that can coordinate bursts actually make eles and cele warriors pretty useless. Watch the games that the Abjured, for instance, played recently with their power necro, medi guard, cele warr, cele engie, d/p thief comp: Elementalists and cele warriors get blown up so fast and don’t have any way to truly recover. They are using the weakness of bruiser builds (who are great against sustained damage with high prot and regen uptimes, but very susceptible to burst with no real way to recover) to their advantage. When you properly run a zerker comp like this, any elementalist on the opposing team is just a liability. Sure, the ele could hold a point in 1v1’s like a boss. However, the zerker comp forces outnumbered or 2v2/3v3 engagements where at least 2 team-members are always able to focus any ele in the vicinity, making the 1v1 capabilities much dimished.

As teams start to follow the leaders and move to more zerker comps, eles prevalence will lessen. In fact, against a comp like oRNG or the abjured run, a bunker guard would actually be VERY good due to superior capability to stall out fights through superior support, kiting, and burst mitigation/recovery capabilities. Stalling out fights really combats their snow-ball strategy and gives you opportunity to establish superior map-control and break out of their preferred setup. With a bunker guard stalling or winning a mid-fight, you could push 3-points and force oRNG to send a zerker into a 1v1 or try to hold a point 2v1 with a bruiser.

This kind of adjustment is the metagame that gw2 has been missing for a long time.

Good post – hammer guard is certainly an effective way of shutting down cele engi, and can punish other bruisers too if timed right.

Necro comps are just as snowball reliant IMO however. As I said in the post above, to me it’s the zerker/rabid matchups which decide it. D/p thief is a massive amount of pressure on a necro, with ‘middle finger’ sceptre guard also proving a favourable matchup.

In the same way d/p was used vs helseth, which again tipped the scales on the zerker/rabid 2v2 matchup. There are of course counters to d/p, both in class and playstyle, but I don’t think this was exploited by their opponents at this round of wts.

None of the guys QQing about ele have the balls to play ele in its current state.

The buffs aren’t even significant here; nobody will run a glass staff in competitive matches.

Evan Lesh.3295:

• Tiered release approach (I feel this feedback is because people want this feature RIGHT MEOW)
• Using real items is more of a ‘load-out’ than a ‘template’. Possibly different systems.

This. Sigils, runes and traits first prrr

Also you missed off

• We want more Evans at Arenanet.

did you check underneath your keyboard?

F2P should offer no access to market, or player trading by making all items BoA and disabiling all currency types.

HoTM only.

There needs to be far stricter dishonour rules for the F2P crowd, and the ability for B2P players to opt out on all communication with F2P players (essentially a global ignore feature) as well as F2P players put on seperate servers with restricted guesting privelages.

With a model like that I can’t see how people will lose out…

Iason Evan.3806:

I think the point; to coin a phrase here in America is, “Just win, baby!”. .

I don’t think you could be more wrong tbh. NA are the kings of YOLO comps. That’s why EU did bunker meta so much better; they play to win through out rotations on whatever works best; not through outplaying people on ‘their’ builds.

Confusion warriors bahah

But yeah I’d like to see this effect as a trait on Ele, shame it would be broken as hell on everything else..

If you’d ever used a leap skill properly you’d know that deselecting then using a leap in a team fight gets as much use (if not more) as a targeted leap.

For whatever reason people want mobility nerfed, don’t make suggestions that have as much impact in-combat as out.

Plus it looks like this is purely for loot bags in WvW, so why don’t they just nerf loot lel?

Looking forward to the new balance forum

SonOfKrypton.4357:

All I want is my Champion title and I’ll be goneski from PvP. It’s disappointing that my success in achieving this goal is dependent on players who have no idea what they’re doing.

/rant

What kind of feedback is this? I’m sorry spvp affects your pve game…

I would hazard a guess the opposite affects us far more.

Hello

Levis.6137:

i play a very good guardian myself

Levis.6137:

he is quite a very good and decent player

Levis.6137:

rlly

I have a doctor appointment tomorrow.

If he tells me I am HIV positive, it’s your fault!

How did it go?

I’ve been running a hammer/mace warrior for a couple of months to great success, and the build has been up on the forums for weeks. I have noticed recently (especially when I visit eu) that people are complaining more about being stun locked. Perhaps with the recent buff to warrior sustain (which incidental hardly affects full dps cc) people think it’s ‘okay’ now to QQ about warriors.

CC warriors can be great, but having given my build to others just to watch them struggle to land all the cc I wouldn’t say the skill floor is too low.

So here’s the sitch.. if we start doing regional tournaments irl some of us will have to change regions (including me). At this stage I’d rather not go without tournament chests for a year (assuming I’m very active).

It’s kind of a big deal now Anet.

Of all the runes to introduce.. Does it need to be more than one stack? Surely the condi spread alone is enough to make this OP?

this has to be a joke

only new players would have a problem vertical with ports. no exceptions.

burning doesn’t need a nerf. Ele needs a nerf.

If you’re having trouble with engi/guard/warrior burning it’s a l2p issue. No class lacks a viable way to deal with conditions after the patch. Nerfing burning would just make condition setups for these classes even less viable.

This is all rubbish.. Balance is irrelevant when Elite specs are simply too easy to play and have lowered the skill cap by an insane amount.

Name one class that isn’t 1000% easier to play after the expansion. Theif is the only contender and even that’s a ton easier unless you’re going outside of the meta.

Yup it was intended to only cleanse on enemy hit.

It’s tricky getting heard here dude.. The art is in coming across like your opinion matters without putting down other players.

It can be tricky though, for example most of my contributions rarely cause people to disagree or criticise, but that can often prevent them from being discussed fully. Can be a real shame sometimes.

They don’t want zerker warrior to work in spvp. Don’t waste time with it.

You’re welcome^^

1. Try everything and find what you like.
2. Duel people all day to get mechanical understanding of (all) the classes.
3. Introduce that to conquest by finding a nice vet to show you the ropes. Conquest is so much more than just killing a guy on point or holding close; you will learn it much faster with somebody picking you up on rotations.
4.make friends with some people that play regularly – and play with them.

alternate approach;

1. no-life solo q for 2 years.

Take your pick!

Meglobob.8620:

Is ele really that terrible…?

For 90% of players who are not skilful piano players or have not spent $$$ on a fancy keyboard…yes

For the 10% who bought a fancy keyboard or are excellent piano players…no, they are completely OP

Well I’m a semi pro musician and have used a g13 gamepad since launch…

Still get no love on ele compared with other profs

Here are the things that make me afk:

1. Burning houses
2. People screaming really loud (not me)
3. Plugging in laptop power
4. Cats
5. Cool friends that don’t know I’m a pathological gamer
6. Catching trains.

I’m sorry if I have offended you. You were probably confused, and I don’t blame you. You were winning and that kittenin condi thief alt tabs suddenly. Thats my bad, please don’t make a hate guild.

Xeph.4513:

P.S I spoke with Nero, and he would rather that you not state false information or use his name to try and validate your own post on the forums, because he can hold out longer then 20 seconds.

I’m sure he says that to all the girls…

Lol this guy

Get your toxicity out of our nice little forum.

Also this patch has had possibly the most positive feedback overall of any patch (and the stuff people are complaining about isn’t the actually strong stuff except mesmer, it largely L2P).

blenheim.6489:

Crashes, getting stuck, camera jumping everywhere, terrible commentary. #esports amirite?

kitten off

D/d burst new meta..! Oh wait some classes do direct damage?

Ok nm then.

That said hoping some D/d support build might come from this.
