Guild Wars 2

Weaver is unplayable if you can’t swap leading with off hand weapon. Off-hand skills are powerful but for situational use and waiting 4 seconds makes them useless. The defense skills you need to stay alive as always buried under 4-7 second cooldowns.

Grrr I woke up early for this BS. My char wouldn’t get off airship without new specializations. Back to bed.

Returning players looking to pick a class for group play (fractals – raids).
When I left (2 years ago) the break down was roughly

Overpowered
Warrior
Mesmer
Ranger

Balanced
Elementalist
Revenant
Guardian

Trash
Engineer
Necromancer

Has anything changed?

This website won’t let me purchase path of fire. Taken to a black/blue page with broken links seen below.

I logged into GW1 a couple times earlier in the month. Did you remember to enter a name of a character on your GW1 account?

Game needs a Bow Tie because “Bow ties are cool”. Now that chronmancers are a thing everyone needs to make their own time lord.

The living world stuff was grindy, boring and unrewarding. The PvE content of the expansion was great. Loved the new elaborate events. The only disappoint was conquest which should have been WvW and more epic.

Sidenote: What where they thinking when they hard capped mastery making experience useless? I get unhappy when I lose my sense of progression. Passive Aggressively I stopped Rezzing Allies in PvE events because they is no benefit. Eventually used skills like knockback, pulls and “Search and Rescue” to dumped soft downed allies next to mobs to insure allies die.

You can run the all numbers you want, I stopped playing my scepter elementalist (which was my main) because it damage output was underwhelming.

Your comparing the scepter against other ranged weapons. Melee weapons do considerably more damage. Other classes (safe engineer) have there melee weapon to swap into for the real damage. If lightning hammer worked like engineer tool kits their wouldn’t be an issue.

Mine’s Working again.

Can’t log in. Started failing to log in the in the in the last hour. Downdetector.com has many reports .

Shared Inventory Slots should be bags with more slots that hold one type of item (ie):
-6 slot inventory bag (only Ascended Armor)
-6 Slot inventory bag (only hold Ascended Trinkets/Backpiece)
-? Slot inventory bag (only holds Ascended Weapons)

Does the wintersday armor only give +6% boon duration (on wiki) for 300 stat points? 300 points of concentration would give +20% boon duration. Anyone using Giver’s armor out there?

10k drinks is BS. Grindy-Costly achievements need a warning system to prevent people from wasting time on them. I would like to be a list to disable me from attempting, or even viewing achivements like this.

“Death to the Berserker meta. We want the ability to be healers, tanks, control and condition damage!” was the community outcry.

Flash forward to day 1 of the raid and all you have is Berserker trying to play the raid.

I guess what the outcry from the community meant was “Death the the Berserker meta. I want to play Berserker, while other players fill out the diversity roles.”

Build templates won’t happen. Devs think that it will fragment the community into hardcore and nubs. (ie) groups on excepting the meta builds and gear with the pinging build & gear and down on build diversity. Unless NC soft overrules them if they find a way to monetize it.

-Wash away the pain (Love it)
-Rebound is useful
-Overloads (are fun, but aren’t useable because of 5 second timer on attunement)
-Shouts (meh)
-Warhorn (isn’t fun or useful, the buffs are weak and the 5 skills are sloppy targetting. Skills are more stand alone or poorly cycled through)

I won’t be using tempest or my elementalist. After a year and half break from the game I am already ready to quit again (before the expansion when starts).

Thanxs for the memoires, but I have logged into GW2 for the last time. I loved the game 3000hours 14.5k achievement points.
PvE challenges completely dwindled for the benefit of the casual players, and all new PvE content is zerg based.
PvP gameplay is fun but conquest style game design is terrible.
WvW was amazing the odd time big zergs clashed in a prolonged fight. But WvW skirmishes are too quick (with one zerg typically rolling over the other) and skirmishes are far too infrequently. WvW is basically PvDoor for 55mins out of the hour. GW2 was a great game with loads of potential, personally found the living story business model disappointing.

AP are a very poor measure of skill for dungeon grouping. But there is no way to check someone’s skill level and the odds are people with less than 4k points are going to be worse then people with more than 4k points.

thank you very much

How do you equip costumes with the new wardrobe system? I figure it has something to do with “outfit” tab in wardrobe, but I can’t find my existing costumes…I have the mad king, the witch and suit and flowers.

When I say not getting credit I mean no commendations, stayed at 28, or the 50 silver / rare equipement.

Puzzle and rush had chests, had some dynamic event rewards.

I am not getting credit for this weeks guild missions. Completed all missions and didn’t get a single guild commendation. I am representing, my guildies claim to be still getting credit while being on the same server. Our guild started all guild missions with the excepting of the guild rush, which another guild had already started.

It should be noted that my account was having some problems with dailies reseting, which seem to be working properly again.

Breaking Bad.6241:

More events like the Marionette where individual skill matters as much as group organization.
More dungeons like the Molten Facility.
Less events that require huge numbers of players.

Not trolling. I loved the Marionette fight, but it broke my heart and will to play GW2. The content was amazing and unfailably easy, but counldn’t find a server that could win the fight after day 3. It made me realize how terribly unskilled the GW2 open world PvE community is and how their can never again be challenging content for this game because the majority of players can’t remember to press the dodge key.

lol “pkittenil” is (PC, then until) minus the then.

TYVM Cyvien I will skip getting a high end tablet Pkittenil they start making gaming tablets.

Has anyone tired playing GW2 on a tablet PC? It would need a USB for mouse & keyboard. But s the hardware capable of handling the games specs?

Glory is going extinct on March 18. What are you going to spend your glory on?

I have 37k glory which I might let go to waste. I don’t care about unlocking PvP skins. Which just leaves the tomes of knowledge, which I really don’t need.

I don’t imagine that the dungeon armor boxes give PvE gear. Or gear you salvage the skin for PvE using transmutation stones.

Funny, but my AVG anti-stoped to threat on that webpage.

I hope they bring in vertical progression on gear. I am having enough trouble logging anymore with new content all being zergy & skilless. I have broken my addiction to the game. Additional gear grind would be the nail in the coffin for my GW2 experience.

Use guest passes on other servers. When to 3 servers to find an easy way to beat event. Event wasn’t up on any of the servers.

Or beat event with your warrior and log then login with engi.

They want to merge PvP and PvE skills because they consider WvW and PvP endgame. Static nature of PvP keeps it fresh than PvE which cost more money to keep adding new content. They want the PvErs to transition over to PvP to keep them in the game. They really should be concentrating on having PvP fun if they want people to start PvPing.

Hopefully EotM maps spells the end of the borderlands. Borderlands is basically PvE anyways. You only fight the other zerg once per hour in the borderlands. I get that some people want to feel like there making a difference in WvW, but I can’t see how anybody is having any fun there.

PvE
Buff – AoE, range damage, condition damage, mobs AI
Nerf – Melee, direct damage, damage reduction (vitality + toughness)

WvW
Buff – Remove AoE cap to ending stacking – smaller maps for me PvP amd less PvDoor.

PvP
Revert to GW1 PvP and reintroduce healers

Celestial gear should get to be rolled like other magic find gear. Everything with ferocity should be giving the option to change when specific gear gets nerfed. Most people will still reroll berserker into berserker because direct damage will still be OP anyways.

Daishi.6027:

Balance for PvP. It’s the only place where “Balance” matters.

WvW should be about logistcs and loot for the logistics.

PvE can always be balanced on the mob side.

Then we get the problem that A-net doesn’t understand any of their classes and nerfs something completely unrelated to problems.

Self-righteous PvPers. If a class is too weak in PvP, WvW, or PvE people don’t play that class, unless the class is significantly more fun to play. As there’s is a minimal PvP community it should mean that PvP balance should matter the least because it affects the fewer number of players. Everyone cares about the balance of the mode of play. The developers neglecting WvW and PvE balance are going to dwindle away there player base faster than trying to make PvP a success. PvP balance won’t matter until they can make PvP more fun, conquest style is fail.

Those stat difference have been taking in account. (IE) A thieve is low HP and AR gets stealth, better spike damage and great mobility / escapes. While a Elementalist with low HP and AR gets snubbed.

Warriors in PvE are OP, unless you consider that:
-they have the highest spike and pressure DPS
-Highest survivability
-Best support class

So if you only consider their average at control, then their not OP at all. I play most group content as a warrior and all the challenging solo content as warrior. Not because its more fun, but because its easier and faster.

Mesmers are OP. Keep the nerfs coming. Clones are doing to much DPS and clones are far too spammable.

I think ranger dps is better than the average in most situations, situations where you can make use of your pets dps. Rangers aren’t suppose to be the spike damage class. Warriors, thieves and mesmers are for spike. Rangers pressure damage is in a good place right now. There biggest weakness is that there use in a group. There support and control ability are none-existant.

Hobby dungeon explorer x 72 times. Wasn’t a CoF farmer. 95% of the runs I did were for the dungeons token, I always had fun or I would have bought exotic gear from the trading post. Now that all my characters are geared up there is no point in replaying the dungeons. I might play once or twice a week I get bored enough to replay one, but the dungeons need new rewards for me to replay them more often.

lordkrall.7241:

To be fair one could assume that it is not an easy fix.

You can’t after all just buff everything up to the highest level, if the user don’t have said item-level on him/her/it since that would basically make the classes using those things unfair advantages.

Pre-ascended kits bumped to the highest level of exotics. No one was complaining when rare or masterwork weapons were getting people exotic caliber.

There unfair advantage already exists, kits were nerfed when ascended weapons were added to the game. Unfair and balance don’t exist in PvE, and it doesn’t matter because skill thrumps gear everytime in this game.

Edge of this mists map probably wont change anything. I left Jade Quarry long ago because the Eternal Battleground long queue. Any queue is too long, as I don’t enjoy the borderlands. Unfornately, even the low population servers queues are too long on Friday + Saturday prime times, which is the generally only time I WvW. After reset EB is energized and more fun. By sunday the week is pretty much decided and the fairweathers bugger off for another week.

Abandon all hope for an large expansion. Anets parent company won’t let it happen until the GW2 community starts to dwindle to the point where the game isn’t turn a solid profit. My guess is that they announce an expansion 2 years more now, then it will take another year and a half to create. The game will be 5 years old and an expansion won’t matter because the will be newer prettier games to play by then.

Self fix by switching graphics option settings from auto-detect to ‘best performance’ for event.

I really want instanced raids. Where there is no leaders or kicking people. Queued by first come first server, but you can queue kitten man party of up to 50 man squad if you have a commander.

The majority of fractals players don’t care about group composition. Unless your playeing +40 fractals or there advertising for a ‘speed clear’. Although, I silently groan to myself when rangers and thieves join the group.

Sometimes I will make up with fake excuses to leave the group if it starts to fill up with too many subpar classes. My non-existent girlfriend sure comes in hardy sometimes

I love this fight even though I hate every other world boss. The content is easy. As long as you have 3 people per warden and 1 of the player knows how to dodge and rez, but that’s usually not the case. In the last +12 fights the on various servers we haven’t made it pasted the 3 lane warden.

The fix. Don’t nerf lane 3 as players will never get better = more future content which is similarly unchallenging. But to move lane 3 to lane 5. Lane 5 is a the second easiest lane fight once you teach people to stack and melee.

Lanes should be reorder by difficultly to:
1 stay 1
5 to 2
4 to 3
2 to 4
3 to 5

This would make marionette fight more rewarding and less demoralizing. It would keep people playing longer thinking they were closer to winning. It would up the overall win percentage vs marionette because if charger was at 50% as a server you could throw 1 or 2 lanes and stack the 3 lane with 25 event veteran to finish the last lane.

Not all content is aimed at entire player base. Its only a small minority of the games players who like Raids. The marionette isn’t challenging content. The only challenges in the finding the number of people needed for the fight. Event entry needs an easily to use system than chancing across the right overflow.

The edge of the mists purpose is to be a lobby while waiting to get into the eternal battlegrounds map. ET is the only map which holds any appeal to me. The borderlands are PvDoor, you only run into opposition 2-3 times an hour. The edge of mist as serves to try and convert PvErs into WvWers beacuase WvW is what devs consider the endgame. WvWers probably won’t like the edge of the mists map, it doesn’t contribute to winning the week and its challenges are more similar to PvE than WvW.
