Sorry, from what I read the map has to go. As much as the concept may seem fun after a while it just kitten es people off, makes them quit and rage. It was a great concept but im sorry it has failed the test of time and use. No one likes this map anymore. No One.
How about instead of complaining about a character skin issue, we have a eight page thread on the Engineer crap downstate mechanic, which is the worst out of all the professions.
Downstate #1.Throw Junk-rng condi, low damage, low condi duration
#2.Grapling Line-pull enemy to me….o.k. plz kill me faster?? Interrupt that can be blocked by anything
#3.Booby Trap-explosion aoe knockback, not bad its alright
Can this tread get any bigger just cause A-net replied in it -.-?
Ironic that your condescension makes the thread larger. The interested parties thank you for the thread bump.
it was already bumped when i replied in it so what did it matter?
Your continued support of this thread is appreciated. On behalf of everyone interested in inflating this topic to ensure the devs know it’s important to us, I thank you.
As if it matters; the devs seem to make it a habit to completely ignore that this sub-forum exists.
Exactly, if you want anything done post the problems in the Thief thread.
Still not my cup of tea, but I’m optimistic with any update. Just going to have to see how it is.
I would much prefer less technology, and more fantasy/medieval appeal. Every update almost has been more-so about lasers, sonic, flying, etc. Less about magic, dark fantasy settings.
Well Tyria is advancing past the time of GW1 afterall.
Just think about how things were 250 years ago for us.
Anyways all I can say is this gives me a faint smell of CANTHAAAA!!!
Yea I know, I just mean the general direction as the game stands. I’m not happy with it, but I would still prefer this game over any other mmo out there.
The random nature of the mesmers skills is extremely frustrating to me. I couldn’t put my finger on why until Pyro pointed it out.
The problem is that there’s always at least one skill does does diddly squat. For example, if you get hit with chaos armor it’s either protection (good, reduces damage), regen (good, gains heath), or swiftness (what?). So 66% of the time the system provides some damage mitigating skill and the other 33% you’re kittened.
Chaos armor should grant protection, ageis, or regeneration (all defensive skills).
Welcome to the Engineer’s pain in the forums on rng, we hope your stay will be a pleasant one.
Elixir gun 4 (one of 2 that shoot you out of field)
Rocket boots (the other one)
Are you aware that aside from maybe the Elementalist, that Engineer’s have the best access to comboing off their own fields?
(you could add SB thieves there with cluster bomb spam)
I guess the above poster is talking about a kit refinement type of ability towards our kits but with passive stat increases like more healing power in elixir gun or more toughness in tool kit etc.
I would like to start by saying the engineer down state needs a significant buff to compete with the other professions, as an adventure class it would prove useful to be able to move or rez faster on our #2 skill instead of a…pull. Sure its an interrupt but if anything stands in line of sight its blocked and our #3 down state ability is on too long of a cooldown to be used in time to save ourselves, I recommend reducing it by 3 seconds. Our number one is terrible on anything other than a condition build as well and would like if its buffed to match a different play style. Thanks.
Engineer downstate needs complete re-work immediately, other professions have a chance to rally, escape, or self rez. We got #1 throw junk o.0, #2 scorpion wire pull plz kill me faster; might interrupt if not LOS, blocked, blinded. #3 Two percent chance to aoe knockback before i die ability.
Third phase of Frizz with golems pull and pushes make this dungeon impossible for casual players and you all know it. It’s not fun, challenging, or rewarding. It is downright unfair. Not every has class a good source of stability or condition removal. Nerf the golems pushing and pulling abilities is all thats needed for the dungeon to be good to go.
Someone is probably thinking learn to play/know the mechanics of the dungeon. I just want to say I DO.
Last Boss takes forever to do, their is no reason why it should be so time consuming. Just kitten shorten it?
If I see one more bring guardian/mesmer suggestion I’m going to lose it.
First of all, I never really used Tool Kit, but now I’m curious about it now that we got an engineer looking set (thank you Anet!) and I would like to see what kind of set I should get…For myself, before making this thread…I went to SPVP and picked up Divinity runes, bloodlust sigil, and all stat accessory. For my result, it looked good and a big change from Flamethrower Kit.
So what can you guys recommend to me to do for Tool Kit?
WTF are you talking about? How to use it effectively or a build?
2.) The holo dragons in the lower zones breed competition and contempt.
It was like this during Halloween, Christmas and SAB. Same plan. But considering all the impatient people want to finish this in a day, it’s become a major issue. Once again, YOU HAVE AN ENTIRE MONTH. Let the crowds thin out and you’ll see the nodes sitting around doing nothing, like they have in every other event beforehand.
Right…you have a month right? Then something bugs out mid June and the holo stops spawning and your kills don’t count towards your achievements. Remember the audio logs and the dirt/snow covered items fiasco? By all means, do it last minute, you have a MONTH afterall.
Me? I like to be safe than sorry.
I cant play this game for a month, so I dedicate my time on the release days then drop it until the next update… so I have to complete everything in a relatively short time or give up completing it at all.
so all of gw2 has cater to you and screw everyone else?
The complaints thus far are absolutely mind boggling.
1.) Moa racing shouldn’t be part of the meta achievement.
Congratulations, it’s not! You only have to do 10/14 achievements, of which you have AN ENTIRE MONTH to do.
2.) The holo dragons in the lower zones breed competition and contempt.

3.) RNG RNG RNG RNG RNG RNG RNG RNG
The biggest complaint I saw in Southsun was the fact that the crates off mobs didn’t drop enough. Now they drop off ANY WORLD MOB and now you have coffers being THROWN at you, in the hundreds and thousands, and you DON’T HAVE TO PAY A DIME. The RNG boxes have worked the same in EVERY OTHER HOLIDAY BEFOREHAND and if you’re a sucker enough to keep buying into them, then I have no hope for you as a human being. People are picking up hundreds IN A SINGLE DAY, and once again, THE EVENT LASTS FOR AN ENTIRE MONTH. The weapon skins DO NOT AFFECT YOU, in ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM, so have some WILLPOWER and DON’T BUY THEM.
By god, ever since that “other MMO” started handing everything to everyone by just logging in, everyone thinks that’s how it should be now.
I can’t +1 this enough!
Last month: OMG THE CRATES NEVER DROP!
This month: OMG MAKE THE COFFERS STAHP TOO MANY!
It’s been 2 days, everyone needs to chill and stfu, we have a month. All i see omfg 100 chest and no skin. Well so what, sux 2 be you bra. And blah blah i can say more but ya know what i mean.
Seems they got their “Buff”. We shall just see how much they were buffed…
more hp???? Really wtf!? how is this relevant? So let me understand this everyone wants them to be harder? Why? Apparently they never saw Winter’s Day mobs, those were near godlike dmg and hp. And everyone wants more of it. Being a low level it was IMPOSSIBLE to farm those things and you guys want more of that crap? Some people farm them solo you know and not in groups, what about them? Sad day indeed in GW2. This is ridiculous >.>
They can die in low level zones in less than a second. i.e. lots of people couldn’t tag them to get the coffers even if they try. Raising their health so they’ll survive long enough for the tag is natural.
There’s a difference between raising their health so people can tag them and raising them to “godlike hp”. Just ask the guardians how much health they’ve added to their spirit weapons and how godlike that made them.
I did ask the guardians and the Spirit weapons are still brittle as heck. And they had to get patched twice because of that, but them having immunity too and able to attack as well is too much.
People, lets put some perspective on things. We’re just on the 2nd day of the event here, yes some of us (me included) opened a ton of coffers and found nothing… YET… there is still what?, 28 days for the event to end? Plenty of chances to get a ticket!
Compared with the last event and the really really low drop rate of boxes in that one, this is a major improvement in my opinion. I am quite confident I will at least get one ticket by the end of the event, quite likely more.
But I honestly dont understand this mentality of we have to get them all. Its impossible to get everything in any MMO f2p or p2p! I played Eve online for like 6 years now if not 7 and you know how many ships I never got to own and never will because it would take years to train for them all? This is not about the business model, its about if stuff is too easy to get no one will care about it.
I have yet to see people talk about the free doll for example, why? when you’re handed things easily they just arent as valuable when it takes real effort to get them. Every single release gave out free easy to get stuff but you dont see anyone excited about getting them where as if you get a ticket for these skins.. that makes your day/week/month. Sometimes you win sometimes you loose, it has to be a balance. SAB was pretty easy to earn your skins in… Got 5 myself. The last event alas was very hard, Personally I didnt manage to get a single one. This one I think we will be something between the two and I believe thats a good thing.
Bottom line is we’re still on day 2 dont give up already. Its easy to farm chests, they drop not just from the hologram things but also from mobs. Just by doing nebo terrace defense this morning I got exactly 24 coffers in like 5 minutes. There is such a huge supply that they’re likely be quite cheap to buy as well soon. Personally I feel compared to last month Arenanet have made it much easier to get these exclusive skins, I personally think and obviously this is just my opinion, that all this negativity is going to be counter productive. I have no doubt they’re going to have less sales for the chests this month compared to last month cause its obviously a lot easier to get chests this time round for free. No company likes to loose money unless they get something in return. If this change to the difficulty level of getting a skin makes people happy it will be worth the loss in revenue, but if it still doesnt make people happy than what reason will they have next month to make it as easy as this month to get these exclusive skins? If people are going to be unhappy either way might as well make as much money as they can right?
Dont get me wrong not saying anyone should just fake happiness but seriously I dont see the situation to be bad at all this month. Personally I am quite happy. Sure it will be difficult if not impossible to get all the skins but I am sure most people will walk away with a couple even if they dont buy chests with real money.
That’s right its been 2 days and already rage no weapon skins, say whaaaaaaaaaaat? lol

Yeah, with food buffs its like going Super Saiyan. Those exploiters are filing the whole game. They have to be stopped. Its sucking the fun of the game out for everyone!
warriors get boon hate and new traits, thiefs get boon hate, mesmers buffed, ele’s fixed and hunter and guardians pets buffed. Engineer gets well nerfs. So were in a BLACK SHEEP state right now
I would like to start by saying the engineer down state needs a significant buff to compete with the other professions, as an adventure class it would prove useful to be able to move or rez faster on our #2 skill instead of a…pull. Sure its an interrupt but if anything stands in line of sight its blocked and our #3 down state ability is on too long of a cooldown to be used in time to save ourselves, I recommend reducing it by 3 seconds. Our number one is terrible on anything other than a condition build as well and would like if its buffed to match a different play style. Thanks.
I find that its our turn to give arena-net in one post from all the experienced players on Spvp, WvWvW, pve, dungeons, traits, both positive and negative feedback. Keep it clean and drama free as well as within the rules.
I’m currently in the process of leveling my first char. I’m running a condition damage build. Just wondering what suggestions would be for the gear I should try an obtain.
Sigils, runes, crests, orbs, etc. basically are what you’re talking about. You can get upgrades like those with basically any stats you could desire. Just tell yourself you’re “enchanting” your gear when you apply them, and there you go.
If you want another upgrade slot that requires a different kind of upgrade or “enchantment,” shouldn’t it at least function differently than simply being another layer of stats to pile onto endgame gear? 20-40 more Precision or Toughness may make you feel a little stronger, but it doesn’t make the game more interesting. I’m sure ArenaNet will come up with some new kinds of crafting and/or gear enhancement down the line, but I wouldn’t expect it for a while.
No I am not talking about those upgrades, I’m talking about a separate enchant on gear/weapons. Not sigils or crests; the abilitys or stat increase they can give is the skys the limit, im not holding it down to just more precision or toughness. For example what about 10% boon duration or 15% magic find. Anything really that would fit.
On top of weapons and armor sigils why not be able to enchant them as well with healing power or critical damage. I know I’m not the only one who wants something like this for gear to better complete their charater’s role of control or support.
Thoughts & suggestions?
Engineer
The Engineer is a highly versatile class. While it doesn’t have the long range capabilities of the Ranger, or the melee capabilities of the Warrior or Guardian, they are comfortable at medium ranges in most fights. They have a lot of control, and use their boons to keep themselves (and allies) alive in a fight. They can use different kits based on the situation, but this extreme versatility comes at a cost in damage on their main hand weapons.
ele
We see the elementalist as the king of versatility. The skill ceiling for the Ele is exceptional, as the ability to leverage all four attunements at the right time is crucial for understanding the elemetnalist. The Ele boasts some of the best team support and control abilities in the game, as well as some great area of effect damage.
The moment I saw the Steam creatures I wondered why the Engineer didn’t have any relation to them. Sadly it turned out they’re just more Asuran tech.
Turrets turn into Steam creatures that can follow you and behave much like the Elementalist, Guardian and Necromancer pets. They have similar overloads. Toolbelt skill makes them charge the enemy firing their weapon and explode if they reach them and the explosion mirrors their type. Rocket Steam Creature is a big explosion, Rifle Steam Creature sends out a volley of bullets, Thumper Steam Creature does something similar to the Elementalist’s Earthquake, Net Steam Creature explodes into a swarm of nets, and Flame Steam Creature explodes into the Napalm skill. The only exception is the Healing Steam Creature which explodes at the Engineer’s side for a base 1000~ AoE heal.
How will this essential change/buff and fundamentally change the engineer for the better in such a way to make them actually not a underdog class? Thoughts, charater builds, kits, gadgets, elixirs, turrets. What could be new and better for the new world of the Steampunkgineer?
In terms of a new Engineer redesign future patch that we can dream of happening.
The Engineer is underperforming in all roles and on all fronts (pve, pvp, wvw). But the biggest slap has got to be the devs official statement on class design, and that this is infact intented for Engineers.
We are supposedly a very versatile profession, which can easily be argued isnt the case since the best builds are all very specialized, and for this we get the hybrid tax. We must perform worst.
Then they turn around and anounce the Ele as the king of versatility, without getting taxed. Infact, getting prompted to have amazing support, control and ranged damage on top of being the most versatile.
So do not expect fixes and buffs soon, sooner expect nerfs. Which would be in line with what theyve been doing since launch (or even beta infact), nerfing a build every single patch.
Least played profession for a kitten good reason.
This^^^ Ele is not taxed at all, I call shenanigans on Arena-net.
