A positive Shoutout!

Dear ArenaNet,

Since the release since Friday, we have seen the negative more then the positive. The complete team did an amazing job on the expansion and that should be said!

You learned from your past, the story was wonderful and you all as group got better in this. As a player I found myself a part of this story and I felt a part of the world. The small difference in choices and how your character reacts as a Sylvari is just great.

Grinding for masteries should not be something to whine about, what we see to much. When Guild Wars 2 launched it took a while to reach 80. Most of the people only reached it when Halloween started. (Almost 2 months!) and now there is whining about needing to do something for your new spec and masteries. The expansion is now out for 4 days! You should not be done with all those things yet.

The launch also went really well! I have never seen an expansion in a MMO launch without login errors. Well the few bugs we had, to bad but you fixed it fast! And I am sure we will see more fixes and fine tuning coming!

The new guild stuff is great having more chats is just awesome! With my guild we did a Verdant chain in place of the missions. Getting the guild hall was also fun!

The new maps… they look great so big so much to do. Sometimes an empty map and okay that sucks, but still that will be fixed! The adventures in the map are fun, small and easy! Gliding and abusing shrooms is fun.

The new boss fights are also really well done and the new breakbar is great for my venom share build.

I hope you will keep up the good work and get even better!

Cheers!

PS: Sorry if my English is not perfect, it is not my native tongue.

So some stuff on the dodging.

First of any else feels that the dodge from Bounding Dodger and Unhindered Combatant feels way slower to execute?

Second why don’t Bounding Dodger and Unhindered Combatant and Lotus Training change the dodging for Withdraw and Roll for initiative?

Bottoms Up achievement bug

Hello,

I have been busy trying to get this achievement, but the Champion Mordrem Trasher is bugged. It does not attack and it only moves around not doing anything. When you attack it solo it just stands there, when more people come in it starts moving but it will still not start attacking.

I think the nerf was needed. Cluster bomb is so op! You noobs don’t understand that.
1200 range! It moves like lighting and does super high damage and is a blast finisher! So OP! /sarcasm

The nerf does not make any sense and I am actually pretty kitten ed by it. We got some good buffs, but a lot kicks.

The Cantha Thread [Merged]

I do not understand why Cantha cant get back in the game. So in Asia they are whining because their culture gets combined with each other. That is ridiculous to not add it. The game has a lot of different cultures and religions mixed up in it.

Ignore it and just ad in the game.

There is a desire for mounts! [merged]

RetroSamus.9860

We really need mounts, walking to a new way point takes like 4 mins and I am to lazy to do that. It’s not like we got like 15 way point for each area at a max distance of 4 mins. Mounts are needed so hard, we don’t got any speed boost. /sarcams

We don’t really need them. They could only work as decorative thing that does not gives a speed boost.

Dungeon Leader leaves... All get kicked...

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: RetroSamus.9860

RetroSamus.9860

It is a really flawed system and it needs to go. Saying you should open the instance yourself is not a fix. What happens when you get a dc? Everyone should get kicked out because they are not the leader. In Guild Wars I could enter an area as party leader with my heroes and a friend, I leave the area he stays there with the hero’s. They already have this system so they can easily fix this.

What do you guys think of the fight with Dhuum? Make a small mission of it only the last part of UW.
Also I want the Ooze pit back XD
I think that actually most of the missions from factions would be possible most of them are not so long.

The fractals gives us a lot of possibility they are kinda boring now.

April Patch - Dubbed the "sPvP patch"

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: RetroSamus.9860

RetroSamus.9860

At the moment I am only a low lvl 10 Rank. So this is just something that in my opinion matters.

sPvP needs a lot changes. That is certainly. Like said before that laurens get rewarded is a nice start.
We need to get something extra while earning al the glory. Let us buy things like the zaishen keys so we can get skins for pve.
A nice money reward for a match would not be bad either the glory you got from a match dived by 10 as a silver reward. like you get 250 glory you will also get 25 silver…. hmm maybe that is a bit to much, but something like that would not be bad.

A bigger problem of sPvP is that we only got Capture points or the Orb race. Groups are mostly random on the map not defending. More play styles will make sPvP more fun.
~ Bigger maps
~ 3 Teams against each other like in WvWvW
~ Death matches
~ Capture the flag (without capture points)
~ Everyone vs Everyone
~ Guild Versus Guild ofcource
~ Arena battles (x VS x) (where x can be between 1 and 4)

Classes need to be better balanced and we need to have options for more builds.
You always see the same type of builds with certain classes this is getting boring cause making your own build outside of the meta puts you in a disadvantage.

Split the skills into pvp and pve like in Guild Wars 1 more often.

A dis-honer de buff if you are ruining it for you party after then reports you can’t join for an hour.

She doesn’t has that fearing aura most char has that makes her kinda an outcast.

@Basilisk Nerf -- What was the point of this?

in Thief

Posted by: RetroSamus.9860

RetroSamus.9860

Basilisk venom was good with that combination so the stun breakers did not work. Now it is an elite skill that has a non elite counterpart that is better. They really destroyed this skill.

I’m still not sure I fully understand the basilisk skill and the nerf. Someone care to explain?

I usually use basilisk+devourer at the same time anyways.

Basilisk venom did Immobile and stun, because of this combination you could not move or use stun breakers so devour venom was not needed.

What I read in the patch notes is that we get a weaker version of devour venom.

Can you hear them?

in Thief

Posted by: RetroSamus.9860

RetroSamus.9860

Maybe Mesmers should get a “Revealed” debuff too after any shatter that prevents them from making any new clones for the duration … More time for us to target and damage them.

Because you already didn’t have enough? It’s one second.

One second is a lot in pvp…

Not enough to break the entire class and every build that relies on stealth spam. It’s not as long as you think.

Of course it is not enough to break to class, but one more second of being visible is kinda bad.

Nothing interesting for P/P, so still playing unload spammer in spvp.

Body Shot: This skill now allows players to activate other skills sooner after the ability ends.
Still crappy skill….

Scorpion Wire: This skill’s range has been increased to 1200.
They should have fixed that it actually lands first then increasing the range….

Dancing Dagger: This skill’s damage has been reduced by 50%.
Why is this a pve + pvp nerf?
Cloak and Dagger: This skill’s damage has been reduced by 33% in PvP only.
Don’t really care for this one, but still why can this be a pvp fix only an DD not?

Where is the shadow Refuge fix?
Leaving it to early still removes stealth.

Shadow Trap: This skill no longer shadowsteps the thief when the trap is triggered. This skill now has two additional abilities: The first ability becomes available when Shadow Trap is cast and will destroy the current trap. The second ability, Shadow Pursuit, becomes available when an enemy triggers the trap. The thief may choose to activate this ability and shadowstep to the enemy that triggered the trap. If this ability is not activated after 10 seconds, the ability will fade and Shadow Trap will be available
this one looks really interesting to be honest.

Overall kinda a meh patch for us.
All the BS Glass cannon thiefs have fun playing unnerfed : D

What if we make 100 blades not stationary? I think that should help War a bit.

I agree, its already absurdly easy to dodge any competent player can do it. Why not let us move while casting it.

Really? You are kidding me, that skill is way to strong for that.

ArenaNet stop with these tiny buffs and fix us please. Like you fixed thief by making their sword spec awesome, elementalist summoned weapons OP and engineer magnet pull ridiculous.

Are you trolling or are you for real?

Hi all I got some little problems with Guild Wars 2.

First my load times are horrible even in LA from one way point to another it takes to much time.

Second when in combat my pc is sometimes very quiet and sometimes it makes way to much noise I have no idea why this happens.

Third I just get random low fps when there is nothing to do in that area.

I know that the game is more cpu bound then gpu, but I got the feeling the game is not making optimized use of my pc.

All my drivers are up to date.

I hope someone can help me cause I am getting crazy of this.

Boon stealing is normal it is the class skill with 20 points Trickery in the trickery line. Getting your boons removed is not something you should whine about.

Let them be. They just want to see this class nerfed to death because they can’t play it and lose to it. I just hope they are going to nerf our steal skill, because it does a shadow step and can do damage. Also they need to nerf our Elite’s with double cooldowns. We also need cool down on our skills. That makes it fair for everyone else. Also stealth needs to be removed this class. It is so unfair. Also give us a light armor because we have to much defence. /sarcasm

15% nerf to Pistol Whip

Problem is the nerf was needed for spvp + wvwvw not really for pve, but should have solved the quickness problems. Because in pve I don’t even use the quickness incremental in my build so this nerf hurts me a lot.

The nerf on pistol whip is really going to hurt me….

I play S/P + SB Thief in pve. For dungeons it was great to play a little bit tanky. but now I lost my main dps skill. Hell the auto attack does more damage then this. Don’t see the point play this weapon set. I am actually kitten at this nerf.

+ we got an elite now that is complete crap. the only thing about that skill was that it was unbreakable, but now that is gone.

What is next Blackpowder shot only 1 sec blind duration?

It already is only 1s blind duration, it just gets refreshed if the mob stays in the field

I am sorry I meant that the field only would last 1s.

Dear ArenaNet, (I first post this in discussion, but I would be better here)

This is not a complaint about the game, in fact I really enjoy it that I can play it as a casual player. It looks nice, I love the lore. I got nothing bad to say about that.

There is something that I don’t like and this is about the patch notes. They need a lot more information then we got now.

This where the patch notes of today:
Fixed missing female voice over lines that were not playing during some story cinematic sequences
Fixed an issue where NPCs would stop moving and result in some events from being blocked
Fixed a Mac client crash and added better crash reporting support

Great bug fixes that is good. What is not good we don’t know what you changed. This needs to change.

Example:
Fixed an issue where NPCs would stop moving and result in some events from being blocked:
Fields of Ruin: Escort the Royal messenger.

And so on, then we know where to look if something works again. So we can actually do them.

I hope you see this feedback and actually use it.

The community team is important to give us of idea of what you are doing this is very helpful and stress relieving for the players.

The patch notes need to be fuller as well this is also a part of communication with the community.

We fixed certain skill challenges and DE. Tell us which ones exactly. I’m a developer for business applications and my costumers expect a patch note with everything I changed. A lot of us expect this as well for a game this big. I understand this cost a lot of time, but this will be appreciated by the most of the community. Also just say when you nerfed something if we know it we understand it.
Of course not everything should be shown in the change log I understand this.

Also do not make a reaction what you did today this is bad publicity and you found out that it backfired.

Bound to Server

Hello,

I find it strange that my whole account is bounded to one server to play on. I know this is for WvWvW, but I am a member of 2 guilds. One with my real life friends and one with my guild from an older game.

Both are on different servers and I want to help them with the influence for their main server. So why can’t we make a character that is server bound and not our account?
