Second way of entering beastmode?

in Ranger

No lie, but I had a dream with Soulbeast and it could do that. When I woke up was bummed out that it didn’t.

I really like the soulbeast main mechanic. It’s the stances I didn’t like and won’t use. Their cooldown is so huge and duration so short, and I hate using hotbar slots for stuff like that.

what do you mean ? stances are amazing, the heals is probably the best heal in the game it’s just about using those stances in the exact moment

How come they all got to be like that. I would like some variety between them. They feel like boring buffs behind a ‘break glass in case of emergency’ sign.

What is your Opinion on Elite Locked Weapons

This fierce commitment to the compartmentalization of everything is throwing away so much potential. But then I’ve spent the better part of the last 5 years drifting away from GW2 becoming enamoured with gimmicky content that one can burn through in hours.

Soulbeast Stances are not fun!

in Ranger

Posted by: Redfeather.6401

Redfeather.6401

Yeah, I think they can be made more active and fun!

Was trying to think of ways to do that, and my inspiration was a martial artist using animal style stances where stance swapping was encouraged.

Soulbeast Stances are not fun!

I really like the soulbeast and spent the most time using it so far since the preview weekend started! But the stances felt so boring. I know they can be super cool and interesting to use and I wanted to post a suggestion for them.

When you enter a stance the icon shows a charge count that decays at intervals until it reaches 1. The charge count refreshes over time just like other ammo skills. The charge count affects the stances effectiveness, so it gets weaker the longer you are in it, but you can stay in it forever. You can only be in once stance at a time, so for a stance’s charge count to recharge you have to switch stances.

Another way is the opposite. When you enter a stance the icon shows a charge count of 1 and it increases at intervals until reaching a maximum count. And the charges affect the stances effects. So staying in a stance for a long time makes it stronger. The stances would need to be really tuned down for this style to work.

I think stances just need something to feel interesting. I see old mechanics getting updated to be more interesting and was shocked that ranger stances felt so dated in how they work. Hopefully it can change!

Redfeather.6401

Yeah, also not a fan of hearts. -_- I’m kind of disappointed that they brought those back. Always found them dreadful.

I knew I wasn’t alone. But are we in the minority now?
What I found to be dreadful was that hearts are ‘the generic quests’ one finds in generic mmorpgs. Fetch and kill quests. But with a heart over an NPC instead of an exclamation point.

Yeah, it was funny to see. Not a fan of adventures… nor hearts, and I could have sworn from forum activity over the years that I was part of a majority. And yet there they were… hearts and adventures.

Storm Bow not making sounds

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Redfeather.6401

Redfeather.6401

have you turned of the sound of ranged weapons for yourself aswell as others in the options menu?

I know I sure did when it was implemented.

I checked my sound settings.

Turns out the issue is with the video I watched. Dulfy posted a video of the weapon skin, but must have muted all sounds but SFX and maxed that one. The storm bow skin appears to normally be too quiet to hear, as I’ve found comments by people for the past year saying they were disappointed with the purchase as it makes no noticeable sound.

I’ll just forget about it and move on. Not much else I can do.

I bought a storm bow after watching a video showing it off.

It’s not making sounds like in the video. Was it nerfed or maybe it’s been tampered with?

Can I get a refund for this?

Unlocking new elite spec

Save your hero points and wait for the xpack. After xpack releases you’ll eventually see tier lists posted on reddit. If Deadeye is shown to rank above daredevil, you have no reason to unlock daredevil unless you really like to play it.

Also if you do decide to unlock daredevil because you like how it plays, realize that it’s not ever going to change. I see no reason why PoF would ever add to core thief and daredevil.

I would REALLY like a skill activation bar of my target.
Also I would like the enemy AOE warning indicators to do what Secret World Legends does.
Here’s an example of the AOE indicator I’m talking about.

It makes combat so much more fun, as I play clutch disruption builds.

Does anyone like the mastery system?

Posted by: Redfeather.6401

Redfeather.6401

As an aside, I wonder how many people got the MP in VB that was way up inside that airship thing?

I tried a few times and couldn’t see how it could possibly attainable. It went against the grain for me and I succumbed to watching a video. As it played, my bottom jaw got slacker and slacker until it was dragging on the desk.

I promptly decided not to bother.

I did it in three tries. Let me give you the details!

First try took me an hour and I quit in frustration.
3 months later second try took me less than 10 minutes before I quit in frustration.
6 months after that third try took me less than 5 minutes before I got a friendly mesmer port.

I agree with OP. Ele should be a glass cannon. I play PvE and see elementalist all the time come flying by and kill packs in seconds that take me way longer to kill on my revenant.

But then I see them get downed just by pulling too many groups. I don’t mind their dps at all, as it all evens out in the end.

I prefer guild wars 1 and secret world legends progression.
Guess mastery system is alright if the masteries themselves are fun things to play with. I hope PoF has more engaging masteries than HoT. I don’t care about scraping together points to talk to a frog, or a different type of frog or gathering a trophy item from an ore node.

Malice gain happens once every 2 seconds with attacks. You can trait it to 1.5s, but I don’t think unload is going to proc it more than once either way.

Things I'd rather have than mounts

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Redfeather.6401

Redfeather.6401

Real shame is there so much that could be done to give PvE more staying power beyond farming, but I think it gets tossed aside because it doesn’t contribute to PvE or WvW.

One thing I’d love are unique weapons that you can find or earn that have something different about them. A skill on them is different to normal weapons, or it has a unique mod that affects certain ability types. Stuff like that is so cool for theorycrafting.

So for example a unique longbow only equippable by rangers. It has a different #5 skill that is a charged shot that tethers the target to the ground.

Huh, this might actually be a really powerful hybrid condi/power elite with all that ferocity and condi damage.

I’m super excited. Hybrid revenant is something I currently play now and it’s so much fun. But Herald just doesn’t work well with it at all!

If it wasn’t for my love of hybrid rev I wouldn’t have been so passionate about getting full celestial. That was an undertaking an a half. XD

A Kveldulf from GW:Nightfall
https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Kveldulf_

I’ve taken some liberties with the beast design.
It gets two ability sets depending on day or night.
During the day one head has glowing red eyes, and during night the other head’s eyes glow blue instead.

Day abilities are fire/ice based.
It can do a flaming dash that burns enemies to start combat.
It can create an ice wall that lasts 10 seconds. The ice wall can block projectiles and you can dismount and jump unto the ice wall to use as a stepping stone.

Night Abilities are Wind/Earth
It gets a super speed dash that is channeled and goes so freaking fast it is very hard to steer.
It can turn both you and it to stone for 10 seconds, blocking projectiles and protecting you from damage.

Still gain XP when not having all masteries?

I am in a position where mastery points are not possible for me. I still need a ton for maguuma and central tyria and I am giving up on it all. I do not want to be forced to do things I hate. Is there a way to gain xp again? My xp bar is 0/0 and does not budge. Everything that earns xp feels pointless.

Maybe visit fields of ruins and blazeridge steppes. Plenty of events there. You can get to it from a portal in Divinity’s Reach. The ebonhawke portal.

In my opinion the zones above caledon forest and metrica province (I even forget the zones names) are really boring.

The fastest class is Daredevil. So get your thief to level 80 and unlock daredevil for them. Then zoom through everyone using steal and dash. Watch the world in slow motion.

I wish the rewards thought up were things we spent more time playing with than farming for.

In Guild Wars 1 I loved how I could log in and learn a new skill in just an hour of play, and then spend days trying out fresh new builds with that new skill. It kept me playing for years.

Please, return to old, classic designs!

One part I like is the mordremoth vines going through the buildings in central tyria. Looks really interesting without relying too much on sci-fi or magic.

Posted by: Redfeather.6401

It does become too grindy for me.

1000s of things to unlock or collect, but each one designed as some kind of long-term goal. I log in and think about just going for one of them and just can’t do it. I tend to quit the game for months as I log in and out more frequently just not feeling inspired to do anything.

Don’t know if I explained it well.

Revenant is really good at removing conditions with ventari’s tablet, and I’d love to see more ventari revs in WvW. I use it in WvW and it’s pretty fun.

edit: I specifically use mallyx/ventari in wvw. With conditions being so common nowadays it helps to use that combo for immunity to conditions and condition removal.

Dungeons

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Redfeather.6401

Redfeather.6401

I would love a solo mode for dungeons.

Dungeons are quite a lot of content that I’ve barely seen. I did the story mode of catacombs, arah and manor many years ago. All the other dungeons, and their paths, is a lot of content I’ve never experienced.

I work night shifts and so on my time off I am playing between 12am-7am. Finding a group to play a particular dungeon or path I have never seen is a real headache.

I don’t even care about dungeon rewards, nor farming them. Just want to play something new to me to pass the time until the next expansion hits.

So a solo mode (maybe unlockable after finishing a story mode?) that buffs the character somehow to explore dungeon content without a group would give me a lot of ‘new’ content to do.

edit: In my first mmorpg, Everquest 2, they had an instance called Ark of the Harclave. What made it unique was that you’d get a buff called Spirit of Harclave that buffed your stats, but nerfed your xp gain. It allowed you to solo the ton of powerful enemies in the instance and was really entertaining. You felt like a hero in there.

I switched main to revenant a month ago and been trying out WvW. This weekend I switched to soothing bastion trait ankitten ot seeing it activate.

I was wondering if anyone familiar with the trait can help me use it properly. Right now I am wondering if it is super easy to interrupt. Perhaps it is activating and I am interrupting it without even knowing.
