Guild Wars 2

Blockhead Magee.3092:

Please add more waypoints. Mounts may be needed to accomplish things, but travelling is a waste of time on them and will be tedious very quickly.

This

I like mounts but why can’t we have mounts AND waypoints?

Katastroff.1045:

I could make the list longer, but there is only so much a small team can do in one day.

Looking foward to patching my game on Thursday,

K. Stroff

Since you have not much to do for next week, please add Commando

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Commando

as new profession.

Thanks a lot. ;-)

Evan Lesh.3295:

Or have balanced, competitive matches with an accurate rating?

To be honest, I haven’t seen those very rarely since the start of the League-System. :-(

Evan Lesh.3295:

I honestly do not know why people think 50/50 matchmaking is a bad thing.

50/50 matchmaking with many close matches is good matchmaking. Many blowouts either if you lose or if you win is bad matchmaking.

Evan Lesh.3295:

My best guess is that people just want want something to blame when they lose.

That’s the number one reason for all the forum whining. People can’t admit that they aren’t the best players in the world so if they lose it can’t be because of a more skilled opponent, it must be something different, bad matchmaking, bad balance …

Crinn.7864:

combat logging to file should be a thing

This would help so much.

Kills – 26
Objective Defender – 0
Points Captured – 1

This is Conquest not Deathmatch. You win if you have many Cap-Points, not if you kill many enemies.

Hirasaki.6208:

Not to mention the 3 new living story maps are better designed than the original 4 HOT maps.

Really???

Bitterfrost Frontier has only 2 waypoints, bad means of map traversal and an isolated southeastern area.

sophiewhite.3149:

food costs about 2 gold. vs 150 gold per.sure if you have nothing to spend it on its fine. or anet could actually make it a worthwhile thing and people might go for them. a new gear gold sink. win win imo. or lower the cost. but id prefer the better gear personally.

Better stats would make it mandatory so I think it is good as it is. If you want that small advantage pay the price, if not don’t buy it.

Timo.1065:

Why Arena don’t want to make easier mode, which don’t need meta builds.

Raids don’t need meta builds. Most people just want to make raids as fast and easy as possible.

All raids have been done with much less than 10 players, Vale Guardian has even be done with 3. Why should non meta build/gear make raids impossible?

Linken.6345:

Just in you say, well I could do any co-op content before raids with any build I wanted it just took longer.
If you say I should be able to do that with raids to then perfect.

Of course you can do raids with any gear you wish to. You just need to find people who are willing to accept your build/gear.

Evga.2471:

Just going to throw in a few more pictures of my Charr enjoy.

The Back-Item is really great.

Jatsu.4892:

Yes exactly .. its not that we had ingame 3 round tournaments in the beginning of the game .. they were not swiss just single elimination okay .. but still better then having nothing …

I haven’t started playing GW2 at this time but I would love to see ingame tournaments.

Try this

http://metabattle.com/wiki/Conquest

to get a good PvP Build.

Fantastic idea, that’s the true spirit of Wintersday. :-)

Rose Solane.1027:

What is this talking about doing part of the story again on other characters? Did you guys try it before making a post?

No, OP didn’t even waited for the release of the episode. ;-)

Sweal.4659:

Just curious, why people in PvP and WvW can exp more characters and PvE players have to spend tens of hours exping?

I would anytime exchange the tons of Tomes which PvP Players are getting for playing with the tons of Gold which PvE Players are getting for playing. ;-)

Towerman.2301:

personally idc about their mobility just the fact they can 1shot out of stealth, kinda kitten up, like stealth ruins every game, well i guess there has to be a way for 4-ever-alone-small-tailed-kids to play this game, u kno for a larger playerbase

Really?
Necroing a 4 weeks old thread with an off-topic comment?

Josh Davis.6015:

Would you want to see any changes to Courtyard before it came back? A new mechanic, perhaps?

The most important point is a separate queue like stronghold.

Pat Cavit.9234:

We’re still trying to figure out what the plan will be going forward. Nothing to report yet.

Any news on this?

https://twitter.com/Tarcis_GW2/status/776557428611526656

I like the weapon but I don’t like the name. Praising two tigers

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuka_man-eating_tiger
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champawat_Tiger

who have killed hundreds of people, including childs, is questionable.

BigBangTheorist.8760:

I have been thinking that it would be kind of nice to have Invisible Weapon Skins.

If it is PvE only I don’t care. In PvP and WvW it is very important to see what kind of weapons your opponent is using.

Chris Cleary.8017:

We are all in this together.

Ohoni.6057:

People drop games when they feel they have no means of progressing their goals. When you set in things like Legendary armor, and people want that, but the only way to get it is through content that they will not do, then they get disgruntled. And they may not ragequit on the forums, but they do play less, and less, and eventually stop. You can’t tell people in a game “that’s not for you,” and expect them to like it.

That’s not a problem of raids, that’s a problem of nearly all rewards in GW2. Many rewards are bound to special content and if you don’t do that content you don’t get that reward. You can’t get any of the new Legendaries without doing much PvE, which excludes PvP and WvW Players. You can’t get old Legendaries without doing WvW, which some PvE players don’t like. You can’t get HoT Armour Sets (Bladed, Leystone …) or Weapon Sets (Auric, Chak …) without playing much HoT which some people don’t like. This list goes on and on. If you want to have every reward accessible for everyone you don’t need to change raids, you need to change the whole game.

Gaile Gray.6029:

Timing? I can’t imagine what you mean.

They knew it.

duster.7013:

I am gonna guess that 97% of the gw2 community is male.

I‘m quite sure there are much more female gw2 player than you think.

Mistweaver.7430:

That is all. *starts looking for Wagner CD

mtpelion.4562:

They should never have given AP for dailies in the first place. Keep the cap, as that puts an eventual end to their mistake.

This

Look, THAT topic again.

Do we really need the 100st raid rant thread?

Hirasaki.6208:

PVP used to be a place to test builds but also to test gear sets. Can we have access to all this runes, sigils and amulet stats in pvp please so we can test out their performance before getting the actual gear.

If you want that ask for a way to test builds and gear with the PvE training golems. No need to break PvP balance for the ability to test PvE stuff.

Rolisteel.1375:

Overall the league is very luck based

Most league seasons we have seen so far where farm based, play enough games and you finally get to Legendary.

Ithilwen.1529:

A prominent and very successful ESL player has announced that they will be working a regular job. Why is that, do you think? One possible explanation is that they don’t anticipate PvP remaining a good situation.

I think he made it very clear on twitter that that’s not the reason.

Ithilwen.1529:

So, here’s my idea for the next ESL tournament. Make it solo queue. Let’s see how those players do, without the support of a carefully organized team. Oh, and no voice comms. That would be a lot closer to how PvP in GW2 is actually played.

That’s maybe the way you play PvP in GW2. I normally play in small groups (2-3) of friends with TS.

Conquest is a team game, why should you be forced to play it solo? If there is a need for solo play anet should implement game modes which are designed for solo players.

Speeder.6042:

Yes, doesn’t really change the fact that this seems to be a design flaw in my opinion. a player can do anything he/she chooses without risk unless the other player has stealth disruptor traps.

There are many skills which apply Revealed.

Killing myself today

Please get some help.

ZudetGambeous.9573:

A single set of gear costs 1000’s of gold and respeccing it costs casual players months of play time.

I don’t know what you are doing but I have multiple sets of full ascended raid/fractal gear and I haven’t paid much more than a few hundred gold in total. In fact raid gear is much cheaper than fractal gear because the most expansive part here are the infusions.

Respeccing it is cheap as hell, because you only need a few gold and new runes/sigils.

alaskasnowgirl.6047:

I’ve seen people posting about how they get entire stacks of 250 ecto from one AB multimap and I honestly don’t think it is at all balanced compared to other sources of ecto/rares.

And what do you think should anet do against these absurd exaggerations of those people?

nsleep.7839:

If he spent 1000+ I’m guessing he bought a Minstrel stats set, the Freshwater Pearls alone to cap Boon Duration at 100% should be around 200 gold, then if you add the costs of the rest of the ascended gear, sigils and runes used in the build, and matrices required to make Integrated Fractal Matrices + Infusions to buy the stat boosting infusions it can easily go over 1000.

Infusions can be extracted, so there is nothing lost here.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Infusion_Extraction_Device

nsleep.7839:

Good news is that the build might still be meta after the changes, just because of how Quickness is important in the raids setting so Chronomancers will probably remain a constant pick.

Minstrel isn’t meta

http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Chronomancer_-_Chronotank

Berserker or Commander are. Both are much cheaper then 1000+.

Minstrel’s could be used as training wheels.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/Minstrel-s-chronotank-Commander-s-chronotank

Malediktus.3740:

He probably made commando gear, its the most expensive stat I can think of

About the same price as berserker:

cpchow.7416:

I spent 1000+G on my boonsharing mesmer yesterday and you are going to nerf it to the ground? Well done, anet. Mesmer is my only character and i may lose my job in the raid and WvW.

I don’t know how you managed to spent 1000+G on Mesmer gear. You say you do raiding, so you have easy and cheap access to ascended gear.

cpchow.7416:

i have to farm for another 100 hours in the ember bay and bloodstone Fen for my berserker trinkets.

I don’t understand that either. There are many easy and cheap ways to access ascended berserker trinkets.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ascended_trinket

Many Pres are quite cheap at the moment so if you are not really lucky it is cheaper to just buy them.

Esquilax.3491:

He said it hasn’t been a halloween reward for two years

It wasn’t a reward it was a gemshop item. Sadly anet had nerfed it hard. In the beginning it gave mostly boosts, now it gives mostly transformations. :-(

With fast queues and bad matches many players will stop queuing after enough horrible matches. Than the player base drops and the queue times rises again. In the end we have long queues for bad matches.

If que times are too long people stop queuing.

So we need good matchmaking with acceptable queue times.

bobsort.4097:

By the way, if you are no a ranger and never had a ranger, let me tell you that, even in full zerk ascended armor, without their pet, ranger DPS is as low as chickens in Queensdale.

The screenshot shows a shortbow. The shortbow is a condi weapon not a power weapon. If you use a longbow you no longer hit like a wet noodle in your ascended zerk gear. ;-)

ShinjoNaomi.1896:

Nope.
I enjoyed the majority of what HoT brought to the game.

This

Cobrakon.3108:

2. make traps work even if the person who used the traps is blind. It makes logical sense that if a trap is laid down then blindness is irrelevant. Either a person steps onto a trap or they dodge through it.

Buff???
That would be a big nerf to thiefs. Blinds are one of our best defenses and traps are mostly used by other classes against thiefs.

EremiteAngel.9765:

• DD lotus DD evade condi build (needs nerf)
• Chronophantasm Chrono Condi build (needs nerf)
• Traps Evade condi DD (needs nerf)
• Reaper (needs buff, needs other forms of damage negation instead of soaking damage in shroud because kitten letting enemies hit you is a NO when they do all sorts of healing upon hitting you and I’m referring to you berserkers)

“Scissors is fine, nerf paper.” – Rock.

Thief is in a quite bad spot at the moment and is not even meta.

http://metabattle.com/wiki/Conquest

The problem with thief is that he is strong against bad/new players and weak against good/experienced players. How would you balance that?

http://metabattle.com/wiki/Warrior

Rhex.2739:

Best class for carry is thief. Anet pls nerf thief! No wonder why pvp is so bad in gw2. Thief is just faceroll with their 999kkkk Backstabs, permablock, permastealth and permaevades.

Are you taking about Amber Division?

Thief is in a quite bad spot at the moment and is not even meta.

I have no increased ingame pings but sometimes I see rubberbanding effects in PvP Matches or Fractals. This started with the last patch.

Why Making PVP P2W?

Oh, come on. Let’s not beat a dead horse.
