Guild Wars 2

Mickz.8356:

I think the Anet devs should do a live stream of them doing a level 40+ dredge fractal the legit way.

I would even pay for that to see.

I would really like to hear what Anet thinks of their this particular fractal level, since it is bay far most hated and most exploited/skipped fractal level.

From my point, i really enjoy running fractals and fixing exploits also a good thing. But very superficial move when you don’t fix “feel of need to use exploit”.

As extra what OP said that i can add, dredge itself also created a bad enviroment since they have AoE protection and other stuff spam, when it collides with high level fractal, it creates a “toxic enviroment” as mentally. Because high amount of buffer dudes basicly prevents counter-play (boon removal) and also protection + high amount of effective hps(because of high level fractal) makes everything harder when you compared others.

Depends on your build honestly, for example Cleansing Ire or Building Momentum doesn’t look like passive adrenaline mechanics to me tbh. Never really liked full adrenaline builds except dungeon rushes.

First off all, ty for making CDI about character progression an i would like to add my input as a serious WvW player. Playing in WvW guild which raiding everynight, going GvGs etc. and probably WvW covers at least my %50 gameplay time atm.

WXP gain, rank and abilities
Making Wxp gain account bound was a huge right step, before i was avoiding using alts in WvW. My problem about ranks and abilities is, there is so few abilities to gain, increased numbers of choice would be nice. Second thing is, at some abilities line, powerful ones exist at start of that masteries. Best example for it probably Cannon Mastery, after 2 tier there is no need to go deeper i think. Also damage increases in respective sieges are so reachable, it causes “power creep” i think. They should exist at higher ranks.

Fractals and WvW
I have big problems here, since i love fractals but you can’t do it without agony resistance ofc, but it collides with my WvW success. Reason is, esp. after introducing ascended armor, stat containing infusions (5 X stat ones) becomes more powerful, since now you can gain another 70 stat from them. But the problem is it forcing me to leave fractals completly because fine infusions (5 X stat + 5 agony resistance) too expensive for someone like me.

Weapon skin profession
Many people here said they missed the chance of having old skins, maybe a proffesion for it would be nice. For example, lets say someone wants Sclerite weapon skin, make them collect x amount karka shell, x amount passiflora and 1 rare drop from karka queen. This way people can get their skin, but also that will be gated by that rare drop.

Stat distribution at traits
Gameplay is highly dependant on what trait you are using, but also the stat you gain from them. But sometimes they collide with each other. For example lets say im a thief and want to use Bountiful Theft, but i have nothing to do with conditions. So it will be either 200 stat for nothing or not use that trait line at all. My suggestion is make trait line and stats differen pointing systems, 70 point for traits and 700 points for primary+secondary stats. In this way i’m sure people will feel more specialized at their character grow.

Sorry if i irritate you but i don’t believe my concerns answered fully yet.

Immobilize isn’t an option as well other movement impairing conditions(cripple,chill) agaisnt a well-rounded zerg(WvW guild groups mostly), because there is enough warhorn warrior in a good melee train, and Charge(warhorn 4) is specifically cleanses movement impairing conditions, so there is no tanking from other conditions aswell. If SYG is one side of medallion, other side is prolly Charge.

Batista.3417:

from the time you have posted this Our wvw raid have over,after we been raiding for 1,50h alone as HT,Few HT stayed in the field no more than 10 or 15,WBC,TEO,Fury came at the end of our raid in 10-15mint. fury was there but did not Join our fights when we were fighting (KALE.PUNK,GOT,and pugs)in fact fury walked by our fights and did not join…,now stop the Bullkittening and make a better screenshot!!!

Batista.3417:

At this fight,i can say that we had 40(we had to call most of our players so we counter the BLOBBING and guild teaming from PUNK+KALE+GOT+Pugs) jst to remind you that only HT..was in FSP BL. at this fight HT managed to wipe Most of FSP blob while Few PUNK made it away running from the fight.

Actually enough with these bullkittens, i will put fight videos so nobody can kitten around with altered screenshots.

Jst to make it clear for FSP guys(trolls and guild leaders from punk and kale).

This shot at bay,2 cannons on us and we wiped Punk then kale came with few pugs and backstab.

Wiped? We are still standing there! Well Kale literally obliterate you at there in one push, props to them!

Shameless bump for my server!

Batista.3417:

another guild blob AoA+Punk+pugs Vs HT.

I count 18 from you guys(from minimap) and 10 from enemy(whoever them-from picture).

1-Where is blob?
2-Did you really outman enemy 2 to 1 and put pic of it to forum?
3-Seriosly, where is blob?

poepie.6570:

Please tell me more of those excuses about teambuilds vs roamers.

Started to laugh right at here. Obviously you have no idea what you are talking about. If you want small scale fights, you can always go pvp, in WvW running as group is not something that should ashamed of, actually this is how it should be in order to reach higher success.(I’m not talking about blobbing, its different topic) But if you have a guild group, you are always welcomed by us to open field fights

poepie.6570:

Ps. Punk and Kale not only run teambuilds (aparantly), but their also the most hand holding guilds I’ve ever seen. You never see either one atacking alone.

As a contrast, i rarely see a Kale player as a PunK player at primetime, maybe at big t2-t3 castle sieges, because of the nature of it. Siege wars not only depends on people count, also depends on supply count. But i’m not sure you can understand this big scale of war mechanics. Have fun at roaming.
