Guild Wars 2

Reyavie.7250:

Same here. We ended up all leaving the map and waiting a bunch of time before logging in again. That kicked us out of the PvP and into the mists and from then, we managed to get into normal maps. Still says we’re in a PvP match though -.- oh well.

Confirmed that this works, we all got out! FREEEEEEDOOOOOOOOM

Stuck in khylo no way to leave

Exact same issue here! Literally happened like 5 mins ago. All stuck in khylo. NOTHING gets you out (I’ve literally tried everything) you just get ported back everytime.

Honestly I feel overload needs a complete rework, as mentioned many times the risk/reward is just not worth it literally ever with any of the overload’s. The problem is the fact that they’re generally damage over time/channeled type skills and the time they take to fully complete generally isn’t worth the reward (damage/heal etc). IMO overcharge skills should be much faster for example:

- Overload Earth
Currently this pulses cripple and immob which is nice however you are easily interrupted.

Improvement example:
A 0.5s cast skill which knocks down foes in a 360 degree radius and cripples for 6s.

This would be a massive improvement due to the faster cast time and greater reward.

With the new queue system and super quick queuing times I feel it’s only right to add something which should of been in the game from day one. A surrender button is really needed. It’s not exactly a hard thing to add, just if the majority of the team votes to surrender the other team win and you don’t have to force yourself to play.

Seriously why are afk players being forced into empty games?
Why are games where a player is offline started, wouldn’t it make sense to replace this player?

Perhaps some sort of ’I’m ready to play’ button might be a good idea.

Caffynated.5713:

The ele wasn’t even a really good player. Who RTLs from beyond max range?

It was a fun duel just testing Diamond Skin, I was in no way trying to play well. If you want to dictate whether I am a good player or not from this then go ahead but this discussion isn’t about whether I’m a good ele or not it’s about whether Diamond Skin is a fair trait. Try to stay on topic instead of calling people bad for doing something which you perceive as a good way to justify why somebody is clearly so bad in your opinion.

JonPeters.5630:

• Arcane VI – Renewing Stamina. Moved to Master tier.

I honestly couldn’t disagree more with this change. The problem is this will completely ruin the D/D ele as they rely on perma vigor as past of their survival, a D/D ele don’t have other evasion techniques like thief and mesmer and are the squishiest class in the game. Making an ele choose either elemental attunement or renewing stamina is just going to destroy the main defensive capabilities that a D/D ele has.

JonPeters.5630:

In doing so, we decided put some of the most powerful Adept tier traits in Water magic and Arcane to the Master tier to avoid power creep that would have occurred by letting players gain powerful effects in Master and Grandmaster tier of Fire, Air, and Earth and still get the extremely powerful traits in Water and Arcane by only splashing in 10 points.

I don’t believe there will be any ’ extremely powerful traits’ left in the adept section of the arcana tree if you move both renewing vigor and elemental attunement into master, the two traits which you are moving into this tier are useless to the D/D ele as you already 100% swiftness uptime and blasting staff is for staff (obviously). So essentially for D/D ele’s the only viable traits left in arcana’s adept tier is are arcane retribution and final shielding which are both pretty boring traits even with the buffs, I don’t really want to have a trait which has an icd of over 10s as it’s pretty useless to me.

TLDR: Either renewing stamina or elemental attunement needs to stay in the adept tier of arcana else the D/D ele is just going to be nerfed into the ground (you know more than it has been already).

I completely agree. This game is full pay to win now, I just can’t compete with these new OP costumes. Please fix the costume brawl meta.

Personally I find although they clutter your screen the fact the rez spirit is large is a good thing, it makes in incredibly easy to spot the animation for the rez making it easy to interrupt. Really though there shouldn’t be any viable build in sPvP which uses any kind of AI, it’s the low point of competitive play.

Phaeton.9582:

1) balance (again with a mind to player skill-not just class balance!)

Couldn’t agree more with this, there shouldn’t be any builds in this game which allow you to get by with minimal effort or skill. For example CC warrior or spirit ranger.

My list is:

1) Balance
2) Game modes
3) Rewards

Seriously why can you?

THIS

IS

ARENA NET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

…on page 3 I think, there is already a couple of threads about this topic.
Just give up sPvP, it is easier than getting disappointed by every new patch, containing nothing abouth the important issues of PvP.

But hey! We got Damage Floaters! Those are so cool!

I’ve gotta agree with you, every patch sPvP gets worse. I was amazed at how little ‘balance’ this new balance patch brought. It seems that this game is gear towards easy to play class + OP build = win. There’s very skill left in sPvP when everyone is running round with AI, spamming condi with necro or doing pretty much perma cc (granted this was slightly improved due to the sigil bug) with warrior while having a passive heal of around 400 per tick. sPvP is a joke and I’m finding it harder every patch to actually have fun.

Is there ever going to be a stop to these glory farming custom arenas. Ranks in sPvP were already a joke but these servers are pathetic, who actually does this?

Easy fix – No gaining glory from custom arenas. Seriously why can you?

Kagamiku.9731:

If you enter SAB with your birthday booster on, it’s as good as gone.

Either play with another character, lose your booster, or wait 20 hrs for the booster to wear off. Those are your only options, as far as I know.

Thanks for the info, I guess I don’t understand why i can’t go in without loosing the buff as it makes no sense to remove the birthday buff, I could understand if there might of been an exploit with certain food but removing the birthday booster is just ridiculous and it’s essentially restricting me from the content (unless I wanna lose all that sweet wxp and mf).

According to the portal to SAB an buffs I have present on my character will be removed when entering SAB, I currently have the birthday booster active with over 20 hours left on it, I take it that if I were to enter then this would be removed. Although I could play another character the one with the booster on has the upgraded torch and most of the other gear and upgrades, as none of my other characters have any of this I don’t feel that I should have to farm in order to be able to continue with World 2 zone 3 without losing my booster. Is there anyway I can join without loosing my booster?

Just logged back in! People check your accounts!

Just to make things a little bit more organized. I haven’t heard of any of my friends being banned, they would have mentioned it on my guild website. Sorry to hear some people got banned, hope those who if/were banned falsely get their account back.

This seems like a good idea. (also I would recommend adding your ticket number too)

I wonder, if this has anything to do with the 10 extra laurels from last month? I have no idea, at this point, I am just throwing anything up.

Man, I was 102 skill points away from having my second incinerator. =|

I didn’t do the extra monthly so I highly doubt it.

I didn’t receive any phishing e-mail. I played WoW for 8+ years and know those emails well. I have a feeling there is an auto-ban implemented on some level, even if they don’t admit it. This is just too coincidental, and too many people have been effected to logically say anything otherwise.

I agree with this, Anet must of made a mistake and banned mass people. I asked about the phishing email as I just wanted to make sure that it happened to be coincidence I received it just a few hours prior to being banned.

so u did get a email? i didn’t even get one saying i was banned

and if u look on the leader-boards u can see how many were effected based on how many people moved in rank without gaining anything

No I just received a Phishing email trying to scam me out of my GW2 account, I just thought it was odd how I received it a few hours prior to being banned. (I have confirmed the email is fake due to it being sent from a Chinese IP address and linking me to a page not hosted by Arenanet).

Did anyone else receive a phishing scam on their email trying to gain access to their account (check your email junk box for something entitled Guild wars 2 – urgent account email verification) Obviously don’t open the link as it is a scam. Anyone else get this, it might be related?

Same here, help is needed, I’ve never exploited!

rekina.6078:

Those weapon swapping sigils only trigger their effects when you are in a combat situation.

I know that…

BlueSpades.6084:

As far as i know, no. My Hydro Sigil on my staff works :o however you cna’t have 2 weapon swap sigils active at same time so its either might or hydro

Tested and this does seem to be the case. Thanks for the help

I remember being able to use sigils that had effects when you swap weapons but instead swapping attachments but I recently crafted the Tear of Grenth which comes with a superior sigil of hydromancy (chills foes around you for on 3 second when you swap weapons) already on it but when I went into WvW to test it our it does not seem to work neither does my superior sigil of battle (grants 3 stacks of might when you swap weapons). this hasn’t been nerfed or changed has it?
