Guild Wars 2

My PC is from 2010 and I rarely lag, got disconnected maybe once in the last month. I do everything, PVE, PVP, and WWW. I only have a 3 m DSL connection
I think there’s seriously something wrong with your ISP.

One year during a heavy snow week, I was constantly lagging in another game I used to play,5-10 second lag. I call my ISP (Verizon) and they sent a tech to check. It was a phone pole nearby that almost collapsed and my internet had a weak signal, that was causing my lag, problem finally fixed ASAP.

If Anet doesn’t change it at least give people 30 or 60 seconds to get our loot/chest. Happened to me several times in dungeons, boss dies and person quickly hits f and gets loot, leaves party in 1 second, kicks everyone out. Rest of party are 1-2 seconds away from chest.

Once party leader leaves, rest of the party members should stay in the instance for 30-60 seconds, after that kick the players out.

New feature/option for commanders, “Call for reinforcements” Go to the rally champion NPC (NPC is always there now?) and pick option, select minimum account wvw level/rank. Random players will get a pop up throughout the server who meet the requirements of account WvW rank to travel to the WvW map which the commander requested. Imagine being outnumbered 70 to 10 in a borderlands map, 70 of your people show up after a few minutes because of the reinforcements. Now we have a fight. If you’re in a dungeon, event, battle, guesting? you won’t get a popup. If you’re in a party your whole party gets the pop up.

Destroy siege-Another new option by commander, commander targets the siege, types /destroysiege. Nearby allies will get a pop up/go near the siege to destroy the siege. People who do not have max supply will get some supple back. Certain amount of people must /destroysiege or agree to destroy the siege.

Commander rank account bound, if commander tags up his/her account name will show and not his/her character name. Normal, bronze commander-rank 150 or above, silver commander-rank 620 or above, gold commander-1395 or above, platinum commander-rank 2545 or above, mithril commander-rank 4095 or above, diamond commander- rank 6445 or above. Since commander is account bound now, refund people the money for additional tags per account. Example, I have 5 total commander tags on my account, after update I get a 400 gold refund in my mailbox.

I want world vs world to be acount bound also. Just increase the exp needed to level in world vs world to 25k each level, old exp to level was 5k. I think the increase exp needed to level will balance it out. Just reset everyones’ wexp and rank in world vs world, your new rank will be based on the total wexp all your account’s characters’ earned. I hate doing stuff many times.

Or maybe if acount bound you need 7.5k to level, once you get to
bronze 10k is require
silver 12.5k
gold 15k
platinum 17.5k
Mithril 20k
Diamond 25k

I have the same problem, haven’t done COF in a long time. Thought it was just me, and the new monitor I bought one week ago.

Maybe a small change is needed in COF. Other than that COF might be like AC.
Then all dungeons will become abandon. There’s one part in COF P3 where many silver monsters spawn is quite hard also for low DPS group.

Dungeon reward (exp and coins) needs to depend on the time you spend inside the dungeon, up to a max amount.

4 wars and mesmer group should clear COF P1 in about 7+ mins. A pt of ranger, thief, engineer, guardian and warrior should be able to clear it in 8-9 mins, every prefession should be spec for DPS in party. If you have trouble finding a COF pt try making some friends.

HP of monsters in dungeons should be lower at least 25% except COF, the HP reduction makes the lower level dungeons easier and faster, instead of spending 20+ mins running one dungeon path party might spend 15 mins instead.

Add maybe a Path 4 in each dungeon except Arah with high HP monsters and random bosses with their unique abilities/skills and they must be kill differently each time.

I use mostly long bow on my ranger.
Ranger Longbow “Rapid Fire” #2 skill seems lacking.

One of the problems is its channeling time which is 5 seconds, takes too long.

A suggestion to make rapid fire more useful:

Fires less arrows (maybe 5 instead of 10), each arrow will now do 200% damage, since it fires half of the arrows. The channel time will now be 2.5 seconds and not 5 seconds.

Hopefully this will make rangers better.

I do not like the color of the titles. Gray like rabbits, etc. Sometime I want to attack them at first. The color should be a brighter white at least.

Depends what dungeons you want to do. If you want money fast, I suggest Mesmer. Needed for COF P1 farm.

I’m glad there are gear checks in place. Usually in a party 1-2 people slowed it down.
People need to learn to read in gw2lfg.com. Example: “speed run” or “zerk war only”. Seems often times I get stuck with bad players.

I was in the a party once in COF path 1. Posted for “speed run”, person A joined and never did COF before, did not tell party till it was too late. Person B joined and decided to kill the enemies on the bridge while party kill the acos and went to brazier, needed 5 for the brazier, while person B was yelling at us for skipping content etc. Decided to kicked person B out of the party. Invited/posted for another, person C. I was defensive build guardian along with a dps friend. Last boss fight took 15 mins (that COF P1 run took 30 mins) others were constantly downed, probably were all in all blue gears and used the wrong skills.

A few days ago I was in a COF P1 farm party, 4 zerk wars and 1 mesmer. One war was in blues /greens.

I also had a few warriors who tried to be sneaky by having zerk gear and all their runes/sigils were magic find.

I don’t know what is Anet doing with the spirit weapon nerf. They die in a few hits as many has said in a heated battle, lasting 3-4 seconds max. Their HP is too low.

Spirit weapons should have the same HP as the guardian with the same def.
and/or lower the timer on spirit weapons by 25%.

I was actually starting to enjoy playing my guardian, guess I go back to my warrior.

W v W:

1. Commander Icon should be account bound?

2. New exotic/ascended armor/weapons for WvW, tier 1-5, tier 6 maybe in the future, lots of NPCS added to WvW, such as all the Lion’s Arch NPCs for dungeon gear. Each new npc has a specific set, lots of new gear sets. Attacker set has beserker stats power, precision, +critical damage, defender’s set has the old invader stats, power vit toughness, Healer’s set has vit, healing and ?, another set for condition damage, another conqueror’s set.

All new unique exotic and ascended gear skins. At tier 1 the armor/weapons are almost worn out/semi broken with scratch marks on them. The armor can be upgraded for some items/karma/money/quest in WvW/etc. At tier 2 the armor/weapon looks repair and normal. Tier 3 adds something new such as spikes to armor, glow effect to weapons, tier 4 adds ??? to armor, after effects after an attack for weapons, tier 5 the armor starts to glow, weapons start to have a trail.

What tier of armor/weapons you can buy/upgrade depends on your archivement “Real Avenger” in the World vs World, conqueror’s set depends on “Take everything in Sight”, defender’s set depends on “Stay out!”, condition set depends on “Realm Defender”, I personally think this name should be change to something else, healer’s set depends on yaks? To get tier 5 attacker set armor/weapon piece you need to be on tier 5 of the archivement, 50,000 kills or more in WvW.

Don’t forget to add acended rings/back items to WvW also.

5. Loot-Should auto appear in your inventory without spamming f all over the place. It should appear as though you just open a chest with items appearing in the right side of the screen. Spamming f 20-30 times all over the place after I aoe a whole bunch of enemies in large events is annoying such as WvW. Players should be more concert about fighting such as WvW and not worry about missing loot. Because someone forgot to spam f or some enemy die far away after player dies. The gate could also close near enemy territory, no way you’re going to get the loot inside the keep now.

At least make an option to refund items within a 5 minute time frame or something.

Maybe it’s just me but I have bad luck with drops. I can do several dungeons end up with 1 rare, 2 Jorm=7-8 blues, etc. A few suggestions to fix that.

Passive magic find items can be purchase from mystic forge npc, Miyani. Passive magic find items are account bound with no level restrictions. If someone wants to spend all they can to get a level 1 character with 100% MF, let them.

A. 10 skill points- Item adds/gives 1% passive magic find to your character

For a total of 1,000 skill points your character can have 100% passive magic find.

B. Same item as A above but this item you can spend karma 50k karma instead of 10 skill points.

For a total of 5,000,000 karma your character can get 100% passive magic find.

C. Same item as A and B but this item you can buy with gold. 5 gold per 1% magic find.

For a total of 500 gold your character can have 100% passive magic find.

Example: Players can get 100% magic find for one character by spending a combine of 500 skill points (50%), 1,000,000 karma (20%), and 150 gold (30%).

D. Magic find purchasable with gems?

Have a stat on the hero page to show magic find.
Each character is cap at 100% magic find from the above? or 300%

There seems to be many players with millions of karma, hundreds of gold, and hundreds of skill points saved but nothing to spend it on.

The current magic find gear such as explorer should have another stat or make the stats higher.

Whatever you do Anet don’t ever lower the cost.

Keys should be more common drops from all enemies, maybe average chance to drop from veterans, high chance from champions. I know they are exotic quality but drop rate is too low. With my luck I get about a key every 100+ hours of play.

100% chance reward from monthly? 5 of them.

I don’t know about other people, but many others have hundreds of boxes and 0 keys.

Edit: Another suggestion is to make a new recipe for the key from the mystic forge that uses skill points. More ways to get rid of skill points.

I think I’ve only gotten a few keys after 1000+ hours.
