Guild Wars 2

My main complains are:

1. The new steals are usefull and good! BUT.. they are increadibly boring… I loved the classic steals and how they really felt like unique abilities instead of just boing! powerup…

2. Steal is almost clumsy, Old steal was instant. and did not recruiter line of sight. and it no longer has any mobility.
So far everything about the steal has felt like a flat nerf in mechanics and fun.. I see the merit in it, but it is just too clumsy and works hard with any other weapon set.

3. The kneel.. I like how it looks I like the mechanic.. but I really dislike the fact that Kneel is the only way to go. Skill 1 trough out 4 without the kneel Costs so much initiative (apart from skill 4, that one is awesome) that they are almost pointless to use.

4.Kneel part B, Going into kneel is all good. my issue is with exiting the Kneel, Would it be possible in options to allow Dodge to make you actually Get out of the kneel completely. If I dodge that is because I want to get away. but atm the game puts me back into a kneel right after. I hope there will be an option to make it so it rolls you into a walk. And if possible why not just allow us to us WASD to stand up>?…]

5. Bullet tracking. most bullets just Miss and say out of range. Did a test. I fired 20 Auto attack shots on another player and I made him just strave Right and strave Left and spam. My bullets all went way left or way right of him cus no tracing. (like engi rifle does) He did not even need to dodge. Result was that only 1 of the 20 bullets hit on the auto attack.

Guess that’s it for now :P

I’m excited about this! maybe will make Deadeye usefull :P Yea I’m down for giving this a shot. Sounds like they thought it out quite well with the rules and territories.

Might freshen up things. Glad there is still being tried

Hello,

I try to gather underwater (Plants and ore) but unlike my fire molten unlimted tools, The new tools do not seem to work. no error or interaction starts.

Engineer has stealth and 2 reveals… why cant a thief master of stealth arts not spot enemy targets that are stealth…

Would it not make sense that thief had a reveal ability?
Would make thief vs thief fights more interesting too, and give us a shimmer of hope against engineers/scrappers and some stealth mesmers.

just wondering.

Allright here it goes:

What I like on daredevil: The Idea.
What needs changing: Almost everything to be on par with the other elite specs.

Staffskills:

1- I think this one is quite allright as it is
2-Feels a bit slow.
3- This one is allright as well imo.
4- 600 range seems short. having a hard time hitting anything. I believe 900 would be more fair.
5- Vaulth is hard to hit, because its a very obvious skill very easy to interupt. I think it would be more fair to add a shord evade at the end of the skill so we can actually hit it. Also I would like it to be a blast finnisher so it is more team supportive as well.

Utility:

Heal- The heal is simply not competing with withdraw and hide in the shadows.
impairing daggers- Seems allright
Distracting daggers- I think they should not have a timer to disappear make it like a mantra?
Fist Flurry- Amazingly hard to hit the first 5 all, and if you do not worth it as the damage is out done by about everythign else you can do. just make it a power skill and let it be able to crit?
Revlective strike- Nice for stunbreak, yet a pain to use. you don’t want to use it for the counter, it makes your self vulnerble for attacking and you are locked in the kick. in wvw this is death.
Impact strike- Love it!

Traits (minor)
adept- Fair enough I like it (as much as I kinda want to use staff without this trait line but I come back on that a bit futher)
master- Like it.
grandmaster- Like it. nice job

traits (major)
Adept- they all seem allright, but compare to what all the other classes get its just lack lusting. we miss survival trait that is not bount to things like physical traits.
master- don’t like any. Staff should get a permanent boost trough this not based on endrance and even then these seem weak.

Grand master is where it gets funny. I basicly play without them.
I reslect the traitline and do NOT select a grandmaster triat as all 3 put me in more harms ways then in good ways. the only one I would like is the dash. It does not reveal me. but it still travels me to far away from my target, travel time is also too long. this trait dash would be so much better on the defaulth dodge. I miss my defaulth quic dodge, really miss it.
Also this does not feel like a profession mechanic at all. why do we have to select a 1 of the grandmaster traits for this? I give 1 thing though they feel less clunky even though the animations are bugged for me :P.. but yes I miss my fast defaulth dodge. and don’t really want to be forced to pick one of these 3.

So yes in general.. I would rate Daredevil as the least efficient and most neglected elite profession out there, then dragon hunter, then tempest.
which makes me sad as thief is the only class I love, my secondary class (guardian) is also not as great. I will stick with thief no matter what but I hope for a better future :/
Staff still better then rifle If only I could use Staff without having to go daredevil trait line… I would not need to use this diabolical name and teamfortress 2 scout class logo either xD…

tl:tr Daredevil is an elite spec that imo fits poorly on that what is a thief in gw2. and is imo on the bottum compared to all other elit proffessions.

(I am quite annoyed so sorry or my slightly annoyed feedback, been at it a while)

Seth alre, Thief for 6k hours and counting.

EDIT:
———————————————
S/D is mainly possible because of ports in combination with evade’s something the Staff lacks. utility is just not high enough. Thiefs can not sustain much at all anymore since all other classes are being buffed all the time… (wvw stand point)

I think the bottum 3 proffesions (KARL protocole) compared to the other 6 is Hugh..huge I hope karl comes up to redeem him self with this or it be a real lackluster

we want mechanics something cool not just a little extra that is outshined by the rest.

That said, I honestly do not mind to much. I will remain a Thief. Not Daredevil (its namebing a big reason)

Every thing like feedback has allrady been said a bout a million times in above posts.

Hello hello,

I am Seth Alre and guild leader of the Shadow Phantoms [TSP] a gunnars hold EU guild. And I am trying to organise a B-day surprise party for one of my Guildies. Zazu the Wise/Eilae Spitfire.

I hope I can get some more people for this as our guild is rather small.

Onky thing I dislike is these buffs like x amound of extra damage / defence blabla kitten. Rest seemed ok to me. But I fear for low pop servers.

They can’t really reset the personal story so far. duo to technical issues that is why we have no replay option on it so far. though I heard they where working on it (same as with LS season 1)

I want the abillity to hide characters from my character screen. xD got too many….. ^^

Resolved trough contacting support, Here is the mail:

Error log in attachment (I cant even download the stuff)

launcher is not going past initilising, then crashes. Help!

I think the Death shrout scythe (you know that low polly mesh) Is just too big Thats all.

Whould have liked the size between this huge thing and an actuall scythe staff to be perfect I think. (would also make it look less low polly)

Edit: wrote scythe wrong, and the forum made it the word ’’kittened’’ from it xD

I rather have my normal dodges. Do not like being forced to take 1 of these dodges because I trait into daredevil tbh. 2 of the dodges reveal me, and are hard to land. are lower and less responcive, and the dash also takes longer and the animation I just hope is a place holder ^^…. so yea rather have the option to actually use my Original DODGE

other then that I love about anything on DD

I’d take default dodge over any of the grandmastertrait dodges. as its just more smooth and good enough. esspecially with 3 dodges.

I do hope karl reads this type of feedback

First think I noticed.

Physical skill distracting dagger, Why does it have a timer once activated?

Its similar to mantra. mantra’s don’t expire either (this one is even less effective then mantra from mesmer)

I think this should get no timer once used or at least last as long as a vanom.

:)

Name tags seem to be grounded for people with the royal guard outfit.

There is no way to turn off the tooltips so far.

Yea that be better actually It gives a good reason to play the other race I guess
Iconic to that 1 race. Should not lose that I agree. It be nice if you could get one set (different from racial) trough some sort of reward track though as you say

I’d like sylvari T3 on my human

Hello,

I was wondering… with HoT we get elite proffesion which I believe will have there own Class icon and name..

1. How will this work? Will the name and icon change when you trait into it ( NOT PREVERABLE – I quite like being a thief(can be anything..good or bad. Helpfull or not), and do not really hope to call my self something generic as dare devil which basicly means 1 thing and thats being thrilled by danger which is not me.(just an example, I know the name could not be the name))

or

2. Will it work like your title? and can you select what class Icon/name you wish to display? (preferable, Though I know it might cause issues with feedbacks)

I ask cause I will properbly really like the elite’s most of them, I just can not come to term at all with the name desisions in many casses.

Seth Alre the THIEF!.

there are like 20 threads about this going on already. no official post so far from devs.

hmm just hovering over the colour sections fixes the colours though. Tts purely cosmetic UI bug

Arakhne.8102:

update – manage to get into home bl AFTER i ran my character out from LA – don’t know if it’s LA effecting here (think read someone saying something liek that) – so I ran out from LA with closest portal (General Fields) and ported from there to WvW – and now I actually am in.

I am in Gandarian fields and it happens to me there. I doubt its related to maps. I believe its the connection to there serves that stores the deta is messy atm.

Please fix this! I been trying to swap to a different map for 4 hours now. but keep crashing.. now can’t even log into my favorite character anymore.

Would love to hear a dev response.

Shortbow clusterbomb detonation, detonates from player body instead of @ location.

I have the same problem. it is related to the other thead as well.

Hi,

I was thinking that it might be nicer to change the change the icon of for example a Mesmer to a Chronomancer (a clock?) or something and similar for other classes.

The main reason I would like this are:

1- Telegraphing. Some form of indication what you are fighting

2- Actually make the name Chronomancer (etc) have impact on the game other then just a fancy name. As chronomancer’s cease to be mesmers. but are specilised.

(I do realise if they plan to add more subclasses to classes that would mean 4 potential class icons per class, but I am talking about slight modifications on the original professions logo, mesmer logo with a clock worked in or something)

just some thoughts.

This would be nice. Its like looking at a incomplete version of your character

is that not just mesmer F5 ability ? (chronomancer)

I had this posed about a month or so ago as well

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Suggestion-Day-night-compas/first#post5203616

I wanna know if there is going to be more books I like reading gw2 stuff!

if you like just playing with music casually, try wandering Tyria and harvest all the nodes you see. I do that at times. No schedule, no pattern just wandering.

as said before there are no real spots where mobs keep re-spawning that drop loot. there used to be some in Orr but those have been changed (fixed)

Flameseeker imo is one of the best legendaries. It is not over done

Agree to OP, why need separate head piece stats for above and underwater?

Meryn.6875:

Kicker.8203:

no need to add another Throw Gunk suicidal self-reveal ability that has almost no effect.

You dont HAVE to use it, especially when using a stealth-build. Just keep it in your 2nd slot and wait for steal recharge.

I actually find this a useful skill in some situations

True you do not have to use it. But you know the thief stolen ability is surposed to allow you to fight the class you stole it from better be something overall more usefull imo. Trow gunk is alright, but only for a very few specific situations and play styles.

I play stealth and I do use it sometimes, but I much rather have something else which has a much greater value to countering the class you tole it from… against an engineer trow gunk is not very usefull imho.

But thats now what this thread is about :P

I hope the stolen ability will be something that you would actually steal from a revenant like class. maybe we get a steal depending what legend they are in. or perhaps we get something OP as stealing a mist-form or something lol xD (would not be surprised about that actually.)

Time will tell.

fractile hammer ish. like? xD

I personally do not see the problem with it being in the game? its quite funny when you kill someone and there armor is unequipped cause it broke. >:D

there are other easter eggs too quite a lot.

D/P is superiour, D/D is more fun (personal opinion.) both work. play what you like most. but if you want to play ranked, or even unranked. you might get yelled at by some if you do use d/d.

but I personally like the stealth much better on d/d but that is because I play it better then d/p (wvw experiance) but its much easier to counter d/d skill 5 then a d/p going 5 + 2

sure you miss a ghap closer, but honestly if you play smart and position your self well. it should work out for you

d/d faster stealth, easier to counter no weapon ghap closer. (d/d skill 5 still deals 25 % less damage then in WvW/pve, used to be even 50% but they reduced it to 25 last patch)

d/p Slightly slower stealth, less easy to counter, weapon ghap closer and a headshot intterupt. (this all makes d/p the better choice.)

Play whats fun to you. imo both are viable depending on how well you play My preference is and will be D/D as I just seem to play better most of the times.

I do not like gunk much, rarely useful.. granted if its useful its useful good!. but It usually (if the player is smart) will prevent me from stealthing for as long as its on the ground as he can stand on it on purpose to reveal me (again. if he is smart enough) Ice spike though, Its really powerful imo

On the other note improvisation/excecutioner. both are used a lot. Executioner more in wvw, in pvp always always see improvisation. As said before it has a high potential to turn a match in your favor.

my few cents.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

A new player would not get ‘Mine in Orr’, as it is set to your highest level character (range).

Ah I did not know about that, sorry though I still get fractiles, and never other dungeons. I do not like fractiles, as getting a party for it is just meh and people expect to much from you, and they take too long in row. It helps that I am a wvw player. but I like pve appart from dungeons quite a bit would like to see more type of dailies in all area’s

Well the airship thingy from which that event was crashed in dry top so it be kind of weird. though yea the queen’s gauntlet would be nice to see returned!

I see a lot of players around in GW2 /shrug while when I logged into SW:TOR the other day I did not see anyone for 5 hours. (high pop server) so I doubt the accuracy of those numbers

I like these suggestions/ideas ! especially the 250 account material stack cap! +1 OP

I do think there should be more dailies per sector of the game though. As often the pve dailies contain like 2 for fractiles? or other rather impossible to get once. It be nice to have more choice. I doubt any new player will be able to do the mine x amound in orr on day one, or run fractiles. :P etc.
