Pray For Kosmos.5849:

duel: a thief appears directly behind you (you hear him on your headphones), you press the closest target button and use greatsword rush and force him to waste dodge or other evade.

Does it actually work that way? If it actually rotated the character and attacked, that might’ve been acceptable, but in my scenario skills just won’t cast. Hm, let me guess: you’re not holding right mouse for navigating?

some skills to not need line of sight like shield bash and rush. i’m sure there are many more.

Stockholm Syndrome.

im okay with all the shinies. the more shinies other people have the easier it will be for me to dominate them in pvp.

if anet launched an expansion with new classes, skills, guild vs guild, i would immediately jump off a building to kill myself. it won’t happen so i’m safe.

duel: a thief appears directly behind you (you hear him on your headphones), you press the closest target button and use greatsword rush and force him to waste dodge or other evade.

i wouldn’t expect any new skills until we get new weapons, which will be probably another 2 years out.

kitten . that sounds kitten! i hope you find someone with the necessary skills.

personally, i like the new targeting system. maybe they should make a new command called target nearest enemy within line of sight.

i’m not trying to derail this thread, but i think vindictus combat destroys guild wars 2 combat. im a guild wars 2 warrior but I can only use my shield for 3 seconds once every 30 seconds, but in vindictus, I CAN ACTUALLY USE MY SHIELD whenever needed and actually block attacks at a moments notice. gw2 is just silly.

yes. this is a very far-fetched request and likely nothing will be done to honor your friend in game. i wish it was possible but were talking about anet here.

black desert

vindictus for combat

the next best thing is to get banned. i can’t think of anything else to do.

wont happen. anet likes 5-100 people pressing the 1 key endlessly.

kitten your right. i’m essentially destroying an ascended weapon. crap…

welp. back to the drawing board… thanks guys!

when new dungeons fly

you know what. who am i kidding? i’m sure i’ll come back here and there, but i won’t need a twilight to do that. this weapon is very much useless to me for many reasons.

guys, seriously. stop with these posts already. anet need to focus their development time on making ACTUAL content, not all this “enhancement” nonsense.

Alright. Good advice.

I’m wondering if it’s best to destroy it in the forge? At least this way it would be harder to fake?

I’m hoping this next step will make me quit the game indefinitely.

What is the best and most convincing way to destroy Twilight?

I want to post this on YouTube, so it has to be really convincing. I don’t want people to think its fake. Thank you in advance.

Context seems to be missing so really don’t get it.

This is for people like you, who don’t get it, and then check the AOL interwebs first for hax.

Ferrous Cinderface: Did you check Dulfy?
Pray For Kosmos: No
Ferrous Cinderface has left the party.
Pray For Kosmos beats the instance his first time without being downed.
GG.

this is the last thing anet should be worried about.

Nick.6972:

It’s incredibly easy to get 55 AR.

you’ve missed the point.

gathering ar is boring. higher fotm isn’t really hard, its all about the resist.

No. Please. No more infusions and gating content. Don’t give them any ideas. Agony resist is an example of horrible gating.

I have zero confidence in ANET to create fun/interesting/challenging raid structure.

However:

If the raids are anything like WoW, count me out.

These raids should be small, mostly instanced team fights (open world doesn’t sound like a good idea). WE’RE SICK OF ZERGY 1 1 1 CONTENT!

There should be casual raids and elite raids to distinguish player skill. The elite raids should be CHALLENGING, even for veterans.

The rewards should be based on player skill. Don’t give stuff out for free. And don’t randomize drops. Allow players to collect tokens. However, there is nothing wrong with rare stuff dropping here and there, but don’t focus on randomness.

These raids should be somewhat PvP-focused (stacking won’t work).

Keep FOTM and agony resist out of it. Make it challenging from the get-go! I know you won’t heed my words, but it was worth a shot.

Built-in voice communication into GW2 is a must!

I would like to see the return of FoW and UW from GW1 (won’t happen though).

In the end, ANET will end up designing something completely different and grindy. These guys—It’s like talking to a brick.

- Boring game mode
- Too much AOE
- Too many DOTS
- No weapon skill customization
- Too many stat combinations
- No one plays sPvP

The biggest blunder is surely the game mode itself. If we had something similar to GvG from the first game (something objective based, not silly boring capture nodes), things like balance could be improved almost automatically. I can’t understand how people actually take this mode seriously. I don’t even bother capping points. What a terrible game mode for a 2012 MMO.

• I’ve been a proponent for a new game mode since before the game launched. Still nothing. This game will never be an eSport. Address the issues or give up (or focus elsewhere; WvW maybe?).

P.S. I understand game development isn’t easy. However, I’m just sick of seeing you guys fall on your faces, over and over and over. Listen to your community. Players like me, who continue to play this game even with all the issues, hoping for something to change one day. We won’t stick around forever though.

Since latest patch
Maguma
1 second additional latency on skill activation. GAME IS UNPLAYABLE.

yeah, this guy is full of it.

Kuros.6920:

I’m just setting up my 80 warr but don’t know what way to go. I’m mainly pve wanting to dungeon. Is there any guides for builds? any and all advice would be appreciated thanks

as far as stats go, you might want to consider having a lot of armor. a lot of people go full zerker warrior to get the most out of the class but die fast and have no sustain.

how’s it going so far guys?

Dand.8231:

So, I’ve heard a LOT of people quoting “Adrenaline loss on miss is good, learn to set up your burst skills with CC! L2P!”

On paper, I’m sure that sounds like a valid line of reasoning, but I’d like to point out a few MASSIVE flaws with this theory.

1. Some adrenaline skills ARE set-up skills. Earthshaker is an AoE stun, Skullcrack is a stun, and Flurry is an immobilize. Are you seriously telling me that to get a CC move off, I need to first CC my target??

2. Risk vs Reward is WAY off right now. Evisc may be the exception here, as it does massive damage when spec’d and built correctly, but landing any other adrenal skill is NOT a balanced Risk vs Reward currently. Hitting means a mediocre hit, sometimes a neat effect, but missing means a loss of all that adrenaline which is also required for other things, in addition to the skills cooldown.

• Unlucky blinds that just happen to hit you RIGHT as you’re casting happen.
• Lucky dodges that your opponent just happen to hit at the right time (vs bad players).
• Skillfully timed dodges versus severely overtelegraphed moves (vs good players).

3. Adrenaline skills are BUGGY! They always have been, but it hurts even more when you’re penalized for it! Just TODAY ALONE, since the patch, I experienced no less than FOUR UNIQUE instances that cost me my full adrenaline, by NO FAULT of my own.

• Earthshaker on an uneven surface. We’ve all been there before.

• Burst skill delays on knockbacks and stuns. For example, I was just hitting flurry when I was knocked back by an opponent in PvP. As soon as the knockback finished, my character cast flurry, a full second later! I clearly no longer wanted to cast it, and was not pressing it after being struck, but it’s almost as if it sat Queue’d up!

• Cleansing Ire: A huge portion of our survival vs condi specs is reliant on spamming burst skills. Missing a single burst can leave us stuck with a stack of bleeds that can LITERALLY cost us an entire fight, all because one of the above bugs/overtelegraphs occurs.

My proposal is that adrenaline be retuned ,so a miss only costs ONE BAR, instead of all 3.

don’t bash it until you try it. the patch hasn’t been live very long. however, I agree that earthshaker is pretty much useless now. I’ve never found it useful tbh anyways. any good player will dodge this skill.

I say give it some time and see how it plays out. these changes aren’t final. people need to relax.

you can stop adrenaline attacks from activating by swapping weapons or pressing esc.

I’ve been playing since launch.

The crying will not stop. The best warriors will continue to dominate and the weak will re roll to other classes. Simple as that. Plus, it’s more of a challenge for me. I welcome the change!

This game doesn’t have GvG. It has ZergVSZerg and GlobVSGlob.

ANET has no interest in making a competitive game mode.

Yeah, I think it’s about time Anet starts listening. This skill is horrible. Please fix it.

The personal story is a HUGE improvement from last season SO FAR. It does feel a little more personal, and less grindy. However, I still feel like I’m not the hero, just a lifeless husk who follows the “real heroes” around.

What now?

- Let my character speak just like in the original personal story. This is critical to make the game more immersive. I don’t care about the technical limitations, blah, blah… Just MAKE IT WORK somehow! We actually WANT this.
- Have at least 1 dungeon with 3 paths at some point in this season (don’t wait too long). This isn’t asking too much since nothing has been released in almost 2 years. We can’t get anymore patient. And don’t make them TOO EASY, please.
- Rewards suck so far this season (and they probably did last season too—can’t remember). The little midget girl gave me a few scrappy armor pieces for saving her at the end of Entanglement Who cares? I can kill a level 1 deer to get this. Make rewards MEANINGFUL.
- Lastly, remember, a death is only meaningful if that character was meaningful too. Take some TIME to build these guys up before killing them off. Deaths also need to be more dramatic.

Not having gold? That’s the same thing as not having skill. Your lacking something either way.

some people have scripts/bots that automatically attempt to rejoin. you cannot compete with that. good luck. get there early or find a guild.

For the guys that think content should be accessible to everyone, I’d argue these 2 points:

The gemstore offers mini pets and other items that cannot be collected any other way unless you buy gems or trade in for gold. This means these minipets/armors are inaccessible for the majority of folks.

Secondly, I don’t know how the Wurm is ran these days, but the first few months it was a nightmare for even skilled players to find teams/guilds because entire guilds were taking overflows, and in some cases, people in those guilds would also miss out on the Wurm because they don’t have the capability to organize more than 2 overflows. I saw people just standing around in another overflow, begging for an invite to the correct overflow. AND I MEAN TONS of people were in this zone desperate for taxis. At that time at least, this content was inaccessible to a lot of people for awhile since it took way too much coordination for the average casual.

And of course, what happened with the Wurm? People got BETTER and beat it eventually. How satisfying is that? Or should ANET of made an EASY mode where you only need to kill a single Wurm with 150 people?

I’ve reached my threshold now with this game. But I’ll still stick around hoping for the best, like someone with Stockholm syndrome, but ANET doesn’t appear to be interested in us. And really, I don’t know how much progress, if any, this thread could accomplish.

I was a big fan of GvG in the first game, and played with some top players, won HoH for almost 3 months straight, was in a few top 100 guilds, and even one bronze trim a few times, and managed to at least challenge top ranked teams (Top 20 and below) and sometimes beat them from time to time. The reason why I bring this up is because I had high hopes for this game. I realize now ANET has pretty much given up on the sPvP scene (lets be honest its just boring with an kitten game mode; we need something tactical like GvG), and now that I concede defeat, I’m starting to go back to my PvE roots but I feel the game is way too lacking for my needs, especially since everything is catered to the open world scene these days, there isn’t much skillful play going on in MOST of these events—In fact, it’s mostly brainless since you can piggyback off other players. I want to see content that takes SKILL. I’m not an ELITIST—just someone who is passionate about their favorite game, and right now, I see a big hole in this game right now. I don’t know how much longer I can hang on… (Yes. First world problems )

No group respawning would be a good start. I’d like to see that. Your entire team wipes? Time to restart the entire dungeon.

I don’t think we’ll ever see any hard dungeons as long as FOTM is still around. Lets just close this topic.

I would not classify FOTM as difficult content itself. The only thing that makes it difficult is a stupid game mechanic called agony that really has no purpose in any dungeon. Why have agony when you can just have a difficult dungeon? I don’t buy the whole thing, “Errr.. kitten .. kitten .. we need content for 95 percent of the player base.” That’s why you have a normal mode and a HARD mode. And Yes, Hard Mode has better rewards and the prestigious skins. If you can’t beat the dungeon, you don’t deserve them.

I don’t think it’s too much to ask that after 2 years of no updates we can at least get ONE hardcore dungeon that is not FOTM. Make it really challenging, have great rewards, and new prestigious armor and weapons. Something like UW or FOW from the first game. Come on, already. Who am I kidding? This won’t happen. They will release more easy dungeons that anybody with half a brain can complete, put new skins in the gemstore, and continue to drown this game due to the success in China.

as long as they are making $$$$ they don’t care. its a business.

okay. i know whats gonna happen. no hearts. i’m always too hopeful.

im always too focused on unpopular features. clearly, no one wants this. i admit defeat!

you have failed to understand the purpose of the topic. we are not seeking out hearts. it adds to the immersion of the game. please provide evidence that this was intentional. it’s most likely due to laziness and rushed development time. what if anet suddenly removed dynamic events and only had a single open world boss fight and dungeon? wouldn’t that suck? thats how i feel with hearts.

LanfearShadowflame.3189:

SpeedFiend.4521:

Zones without hearts/vistas/skillpoints/POI and all that other jazz feel incomplete.

I don’t expect hearts in the new zones. The game has fewer and fewer as you progress through the higher level zones intentionally. They are only there in the lower level zones as a marker of sorts, a “hey check around here for events” training type object. By the time we get to the top level maps we should be actively seeking events, not hearts.

doubt. it. they havent done this since launch. no reason to believe they’ll start now. expect maguuma armors in the gem store.

im sorry but im laughing so hard at this topic. there will be no new dungeons. we haven’t had a new one in 2 years. they aren’t gonna start now.

Too late.

Kohlteth.3715:

Didn’t ANet promise no “Gear grind” no " Better gear" was their promise or are they joining the train that Blizzard perpetuated all those years and why so many hate them too ..

Is Anet ready to do that and become what they promised they wouldnt be ?
