Guild Wars 2

I think Anet doesn’t want DPS meters in the game because it highlights their poor ability to balance different classes. I’ve been running Janx, a dps meter overlay from the overwolf app contest. It is completely legal but you can’t use or see your chat while running it since it screenshots your combat log and computes your dps.

Is the Janx DPS meter still available? I searched everywhere but couldnt find it.

I’ve been trying to find a legal one for awhile now but cant get GW2DPS to work since HOT.

Hey, your guild sounds awesome. I’d love an invite to try it out. I’m in a small PVP guild but i’d love to have a PVE group as well. Raids have me curious and I’ve just been doing fracs pug style for the past few months.

Account name: Skigit.3715
Time Zone: Mountain time.
Mains: Ranger(1337 healz come HOT:P), Mesmer.
Fun Fact: I’m hella sexy and am willing to do ANYTHING to get in……ANYTHING

I can’t say with 100% certainty since it wasn’t shown in the stream but assuming that glyphs work the same way for druid as they do for elementalist I would say that they don’t split the CD between forms.

Is there any ETA on fixing this lame exploit? I started doing fractals after the PVP season ended and at first I was doing them with guildies and grew to love this encounter, however I’ve started pugging it lately and this exploit seems to be the norm whenever this fractal boss is rolled.

I know dungeon/fractal exploits are usually left in forever but I feel this one really trivializes this encounter and that it would be an easy fix.

I’m getting annoyed by people yelling at me for rezzing others during this fight.

I’m sure the dev team is aware of it as it is pretty popular, however I won’t say how it’s done here incase I can some day get a team that doesn’t just exploit it. If details are needed by a dev I will PM them upon request.

Its called spvp

SPVP = completely different character than your WvW character. I have a WvW ranger build that uses melandru runes+-40% condi food in order to deal with condis. I cant duel my friend with that build in pvp.

Even the armor with the same name has different stats Knights = vitality in pvp Zerks gives +vit (lol wut?)

So please people stop saying “just go to spvp” that argument fails entirely for WvWers. for credible reasons. If they gave us a pvp lobby with all the possible WvW/PvE stats then that argument would make sense but as it stands telling people who PVE/WvW to go to spvp is almost like saying go play a different game.

Downed is a horrible system in WvW and PvP. Simply put there are only a few things that would make it more “bearable” but I can’t think of anything that would make it actually fun.

The best solution for WvW/PvP imo would be to make healing a downed person interruptible by damage. You shouldn’t be able to run into enemy aoes and just bring your friend up. I’ve lost so many outnumbered fights not because the enemies were better players but because they just ran and rezed eachother every time they went down which happens faster than a finisher. Even if you save all your KBs for when someone goes down chances are 1 person in their group has 1 saved up to use on you whilst trying to finish. Extremely frustrating for people who prefer solo/small group play.

PvE it just encourages stacking which is lame and extremely boring. A game that talks about its action combat and the best tactic is to stand still and hit 1 maybe dodging occasionally depending on the enemy. There are multiple factors to the stacking problem though. Buffs need a longer range

Rallying is also a bunk mechanic. I’m fine with the “kill something and rally” but this is “tag something and rally” So anyone who uses a lot of aoes doesn’t have a lot to fear when downed they are likely to just get up in a sec anyways even though they have no idea what they killed.

In summary downed state is hurting the game IMO I realize the devs are too into the idea to just let it go but at least make it harder to rez people in all game types.

Typical Anet. “If it isn’t mindless zerging it shouldnt be rewarding.” There couldn’t have been a massive amount of people farming it, and even if there was you get comperable bags in the lab just auto attacking.

1.Dueling
2.Dueling
3.Dueling
4.Dueling
5.Non zerg content that can’t just be exploited by stacking. (looking at you dungeons) That is actually as rewarding as tagging champ after champ as your group kills them.

I just have to put in my two cents. I love dueling…No I don’t /duel spam everyone i see in other games. I love WvW but hate Spvp.

Reasons Spvp dueling Doesn’t work.
1. It’s not even the same character as the one you’ve worked up in pve.

2. PVP and WvW follow different rulesets (try testing out a confusion built character in pvp then wvw)

3. A lot of stats can’t be replicated. (full berserkers in pvp gives vitality lol wut? etc)

4. People ALWAYS join my games when i find an empty server to duel in. they then run around either capping points making us map switch more frequently or attack while im dueling someone.

5. Spvp games are not long enough for some fights. Try dueling a guardian as a
guardian and the fights can last 20+ minutes while a game can only go 15

6. No consumables. Sometimes consumables are as much a part of your build as the traits/stats yet cannot be used in spvp.

7. Tons of loading screens!!! Lets say you want to try 2 different builds. you zone to the mists, spec, find a game. tell your friend which game is empty. zone in. fight once. zone back to the mists. respec. find another empty game join it and fight again.

I would love to see dueling implemented. I hate how almost all of the pvp in wvw is zerg vs zerg the most fun ive had in gw2 pvp are small skirmishes at the EB JP.

It always makes me sad when im dueling in wvw that I can’t duel the people from my server. I want to see who would win in a wvw pvp setting me or my friend but its not worth switching servers for and Spvp isnt even close to wvw pvp.

Only question I have for the anti dueling people is why?

If you are worried about immersion Isn’t costume brawl even more immersion breaking?

If you are worried about getting dueled Anet has shown that they are very anti greifing and would probably put an auto decline.

If you are worried about class imbalance being highlighted… There are plenty of places people already 1v1 and having dueling won’t cause more complaints imo. it might actually cause less complaints since some classes that seem overpowered are easier to beat once you understand them such as Mesmer and Theif.

I am one in hopes that this does not get changed..

Since I recently came back to the game, the prices of everything have jumped up and I am not a big fan of any other content other than dungeons. So if I can make money and do dungeons: I am a happy guy. For me, CoF is a nice daily thing I can count on to get a little bit more cash so I am not so broke. I think the highest I have gotten is 9g before, which is very sad, specially with the price increase, but this is due to constantly having to buy things, so for me CoF is nearly a necessary thing to keep my gold from being 0.

That is the issue though. This dungeon being so fast and easy causes inflation. It makes so that if you arn’t doing CoF path 1 over and over again you fall behind everyone else.
Basically every run injects at least 46 silver into the games economy per player.

Not to sound mean but I don’t understand how someone can like dungeons then run the same one over and over again in the exact same setup. That isnt dungeon running to me that is just farming which i find boring. There is no challenge or sense of adventure in CoF path 1 over and over again.

The reason I want to see this nerfed is so that I don’t get scoffed at when I ask my team if they want to run something else. I can’t blame them for only running CoF since its basically the same reward as every other dungeon but with a quarter of the effort and none of the risk. I realize that farmers will go to the “next” fastest thing but if all the dungeons are closer to time/reward then more normal people wont feel like they have to do cof to stay caught up. If the fastest dungeon could be done in say 15 minutes then that makes running HotW or CoE for money actually a consideration.

If you are STILL running a dungeon even when you are only getting 5 silver (or whatever the silver goes down to on multiple runs) because it is still more profitable then other dungeons then there is obviously an issue.

God, I hope they nerf CoF. Maybe then people would be more willing to do other dungeons.

There are only 4 people left in Dopplegankers now and I’m the only one that’s a regular. I’m looking to start over and wonder which server do you guys feel is best for an all mesmer guild. I’m on Tarnished Coast but considering it’s mostly an RP server, I’m not sure it’s an adequate fit for a thematic guild. Along with starting over, I’m also looking for people to help me make this a very active guild as I have little experience with being a guildmaster. Sad to say, for as long as I’ve been playing MMOs, I usually solo and PuG. I’m naturally introverted as well but I want to see this work.

So is anyone else interested?

If you come to gates of madness I’m down for it.

Add skigit if you decide to come to GoM

Haha Yeah, I’ve played through street rat many times on alts and I’ve let quinn die everytime. He is just so annoying and even though I’ve wanted to do different things when replaying I can’t bring myself to let quinn live.

I’ve got to say phantasms already feel OP. Currently they are a dot with infinite damage potential.

Part of what makes the class more then simply phant spammers is their draw backs.

Think of them as fragile dots and place them accordingly, don’t just activate them cuz they are off cooldown.

You don’t load an enemy up with 25 stacks of bleed when they are at 5% health and then complain that the bleed didn’t skip to the next enemy. Why should phants be any different?

Currently you can put out some retarted dps with phants as long as you don’t spawn them into immediate danger.

I built 2 gaming computers (one for my Dad and one for my Nephews) bought four copies (Again 1 for dad 1 for nephews one for gf and one for myself) and it has been an excellent investment. We all get together and play every weekend everyone of us is extremely happy with the game.

Awwww hell naw I love my mesmer the way she is….errr artwork? Wtk?

Sorry the title threw me off. Haha I have noticed this as well on the trait page I couldn’t help but feel extremely short changed and unloved.

Iam inbetween. Least played class (mesmer) most played race (human) least played sex (female) and in between on my crafting. Jewelcraft/tailoring.

I have to agree with morrigan. Bear mothers are very sad to kill. My first one I was running around mining and bears kept attacking me so id dispatch them with no bad feelings but a bear started running at me and I killed it then went to get the ore which was in a small cave and I saw a few bear cubs in the cave….looked back at the big bears corpse did /cry then put the cubs out of their misery…..I know I shouldn’t play god but they would have died without their mother anyways of starvation.

Someone tell me I did the right thing!
