Guild Wars 2

Its been 2.5 months since the game launched and alot of the major concerns of the players have yet to be addressed. Will the patches ever get around to the major issues?

Cmon anet why wont you fix the traits that no one ever uses?

Thief here who can never find groups for dungeons. Then again, maybe its because I play on pacific time. Either way I have a hard time getting a group. Anyone roll Henge of Denravi server or play late at night?

Main: Purity Blue (thief)

What servers are you guys on? My server (Henge of Denravi) is pretty dead in everywhere. Then again maby its’ because I play at night…

I play cond thief and can apply 20+ stacks of aoe bleed in 3-5 seconds…. Yeah im not really looking foward to to playing against a whole bunch of people like that when all the BS people move.

GW2 needs the same people who worked on the GW1 stoy line to work on the Personal story in GW2.
I mean we all know that the personal story is terrible in Gw2

Throughout all the PvP games ive played I have seen only a handful of thieves that dont use a backstab build or one that relies heavily on stealth.

Personally I dont use a build that relies on stealth. Now before any of you go saying “lol u suk. u no abuse stealth and backstab.” I’m playing this for fun and god help you if you think fun should be secondary to using an abused (opinions vary) build.

I’m wondering if I’m one of the few who play like this or if I simply get paried against a masive number of thieves who stealth all day long. Do you guys see thieves that dont rely heavily on stealth?

considering that we probably will have a thanksgiving event of some sort we can expect 2-3 more hats by the end of the year

Warrior adrenaline is actually flexible. You have traits for more damage the more adrenaline you have, a trait for health regen based on adrenaline….amung others. Claiming adrenaline is a simple one shot shows you aren’t using the class to the fullest.

Its more of a let it sit there or spam it skill. I hardly ever have to think about when I want to use it.

I would love the zoom to be this far. It would allow for better screen shots of certain events and such

Its called the “mob has nothing” syndrome. I’ve soloed Vets I’ve duoed champs and there’s still a chance that none of get loot.

What alot of you need to remember is that Norns aren’t human. We need to stop comparing Norns to Humans we see in real life.For all we know their muscles could be laced with magic or something thus allowing for thinner (in proportion to body) arms.

Remember Norn =/= Human

Charr Ranger. Why would they not use a rifle considering they invented it?

I’d like to see some gear that can only be gotten through badges or something.

Well we’ve got the madking book….. and thats about it in terms of what can be seen…

Yeah im pretty tired of hearing “i can outrun a centuar” all day long.

Cakoluchiam.6901:

You think Ele’s headpieces are fugly, try rolling a ranger. Yuck : p. Every headpiece is either a stupid bandana or a stupid hood.

Thats pretty much all medium armor head gear….

OP avoiding Stealth is easy. Only time i get hit by it is when they shadow step to me. its easy ehough to roll away and turn and run due to the fact that thieves move slower in stealth. If you want a counter to stealth because its not fair in a 1v1 situation where only one person can stealth, how about specific abilities to counter necro or ranger pets? Because it seems you would argue that 2v1 is never fair. Better yet why not make a specific counter for Elementalists when they change attunments, or even Engineer turrets, or mesmer clones.

No, stealth is part of what makes a thief unique and is its main survival mechanism, other than spamming heartseeker to get away. Its easy enough to avoid if you think a bit about what the main goal of offensive stealth is, and that is to get on your side or back.

However I do agree that stealth stomps need to be changed. Yet if we are going to be getting rid of stealth stomps, what about the invincible stomps that can, on some classes, be easily paired with stability(warriors) or evades (elixer s)?

Merch items, buy low sell high. You just need to watch the prces on several items over the course of several days and you can tell if its worth it or not.

The increased drop rate on items, as well as buffed certain items in the most recent patches.

Increased drop rates just mean more terrible drops.

Even then, that would result in more overall gold.

MAGIC FIND = PROBLEM SOLVED

I can never tell the diference between male and female asuras untill I hear the voices. If you wanted armor that makes your character look female you should have rolled a diffrent race.

They really dropped the ball on this. The current options for getting the items or skins requires you to spend gold. I wouldnt even have to touch a single pumpkin if i so wished not to.

Not sure what you consider “valuable” if its exotics only then lol gl farming it from drops.

I can usually get at least 1-2 yellows per dungeon run. Farming orr for an hour should easily give you about 1g+ with mats and equips even if all you get is blues.

Yeah ive found about 2-3 chili peppers since it was patched. The drop rate needs an increase.

Lets punish people who live in diffrent time zones ,yes? So when i log on at 9pm local time and its a god awful hour for most of the other people i get to face mulitiple npcs. You know I’d probably be better off farming dungeons with my 3 friends rather than raiding camps and caravans.

It would help if you posted your class.

You do have to realize that some heals are more pvp and others are pve, it depends on the class. Also realize that some weapons are better at pve than pvp, on that same note switch your weapons constantly in combat.

Definitely AoE target indicator. pushing the skill rapidly twice in a row will cast it at your character’s position, i think.

pressing it twice casts it at mouse location

They need to get rid of the zoom when you get downed.

The emotes that require interactioncan be done. TF2 has a high-five emote that gives players 3 seconds to respond to it. not sure how it works out but it does.

Except people wouldnt like doing the things that arent fun (supply). They would need to make it so people can do it without forcing them to do things that they dont want to do.

I would like a more visiable visual cue. In WvW or even events that get zerged I’m not in a group and cant see their HP bar. I’m not looking at my mini map In WvW or PVE since it really doesnt help with my survival. Yet that tiny down icon is easy to lose when you have massive amount of effects being spammed around.

OP maby you need to talk to people? Cause im not having a problem getting names on my friend list. Also WvW mass zergs arent where you to meet people. Try a small 5 man camp/caravan raiding group.

I have cooking and Weapon smithing as my main crafting traits. allowing only 2 gathering would force me to buy or roll an alt. Limiting it to 2 would most likely cause cooking to die as a profession since its the only one that uses herbs. People wouldnt pick a gathering trait that only sells to one profession.

^Your link is broken. For me anyway.

Though boon duration stacking is iffy in WvW due to the fact that certain sigils remove boons on crit. You would be kittening yourself against people with crit and fast attacks. Not to mention certain classes can steal boons off of you.

I did try a Boon duration warrior. Its lol easy to get perma fury

Well I can make a decent amount of gold off of merching so there has to be a decent supply and demand in the economy. Though there are items out there (butter) that stagnate, though its probably due to the high drop/nodes there are out there.
There are only 3 gathering skills so im curious as to how many you would limit it to. Limiting it to 2 would most likely make a lack of herb gathering. I often see people running right by herbs and preffering to go for the logs and ore.

Play a thief manage initiative

I prefer the game the way it is. Its alot more fun than sitting in a corner spamming 1 and 2 while someone pulls aggro then kites.

Horses can’t move all that well backwards….

Because your character would look ridiculous with a great sword, rifle, long bow, hammer strapped on. Better yet 8 swords, where would you fit them?

You might want to phrase that better. Im having trouble understanding what it is you’re exactly trying to say, but im getting the idea that you want free lv 80s….

How to roll as centuar?

Warcrazy.4265:

the loot i get from bags goes directly to my repair bill and to the cause… I don’t make any money from WvW. If anything, I’m lucky to stay even.

Are you serious? I make easy money in WvW even when my server has 0 holdings.

Disagree
2.Game needs a gold sink. You could always run to places, but if you bring up the argument of it takes time so does leveling. Do you want anet to give out lv 80 characters so we dont have to waste time leveling as well?
3. Even 2 levels above and enemy make it faceroll easy
6. This is another gold sink. Also to everyone complaing about the cost its 5c per trait point making it a grand total of 2s50c at lv 80. If you cant afford this at lv 80 you are playing wrong.

Though I would like the ability to respec my talents out in the field instead of having to see the trainer every time.

TurtleofPower.5641 I really didnt feel like that at all in GW1. Yet it still had moments where you stopped and thought about what you were doing. Also you seem to be taking the whole consequences thing waaaaay to far. It doesnt have to be a punish player for everything system.

I would love to see the GW1 class based dances being implemented as well. course the thief would probably have the assassins. Guardian im not too sure.

Commander icon should be based off WvW achivements or merits rather than gold. There could be a merit system where people give others a ranking and when someone get a high enough merit they get the icon. I realize that guilds can easily Create commanders, but i would prefer people who can actually lead instead of stand in lions arch.

Another option would be to make it so the icon requires a certain amount things to be done in WvW ( e.g. keeps taken/defended). At least this way people who have it have actually done some WvW

TheUnNamedHero.4167:

You know how you solve that problem? Situational awareness. Don’t want to attack neutrals? Pay attention to what you’re targeting. Don’t want to multi-hit neutrals? Don’t use those abilities in range of them. What you’re describing is not a problem with the game’s mechanics; it’s a problem with player micro. You are fully capable of solving that problem yourself.

Please try not attacking in WvW while the enemy gets free shots off on you.

I would prefer using a bouncing attack in 2v1 situations and not have it aggro that deer. Though you suggest I should use a single target attack which would do less dmg untill they are clear of the deer…..

There needs to be a option of not having it bounce to yellow targets or targets not engaged in combat.

This would still result in burying and pushing people to the back. There wil always be people willing to sell cheaper. The fact that ordering items works is proof enough

I would love to see Polearms.

What about a ranged weapon that hits more than just one target? Perhaps a Blunderbuss? Though finding a bow equivilant would be difficult.

“I won’t mind paying 1000 gems for this every month and I assume many others would pay for it as well. I don’t mind a monthly subscription but I hate a system that make you feeling so bad every time you need to use a waypoint, to replace a subscription fee. "

Not sure what you’re trying to say here.

Also waypoints are meant to be a goldsink.
