Guild Wars 2

Will we ever again have a normal beautiful map?

All the HoT maps are literal hell,filled with destruction and they are kinda pain to watch,all them updrafts and floating land chunks to explosions,various ship fragments,garbage etc.

Sandrox.9524:

Lily.1935:

Name: Lilith Be Gone

Gender: Female

Race: Human

The name is actually less of a name and more a title. The Character herself in my personal Head cannon isn’t actually named Lilith Be Gone but takes that title on from her Guild Wars 1 counterpart. Lullaby loosely translates to Lilith begone. Its a old blessing sung over children before they went to sleep to protect them from being snatched away in the night by the mother of demons, Lilith.

The story behind the character is pretty Interesting. But that’ll have to wait for another time. That could take me hours to write down and I doubt most people would actually bother to read it.

8/10 very interesting!
Mine called So Tiny Reaper since it’s asura and a reaper simple as that xD

6/10 cause zero effort in name and backstory,but its kinda cool xD

My Reapers

Äs Nödt
Human Male
This is just a cosplay character of manga im reading,He is embodiment of fear,nothing much to it,alltho with time my cosplay has strained from its path and now only name remains.

Reaper Master Race
Human Male
This is just his codename,his original name was lost in time.He lived somewhere between 1016 AE-1078 AE.
Resurrected in 1328 AE as Grenths secret apprentice,RMR was given a special training in dark arts by Grenth himself.
Grenth immediately noticed that his secret apprentice is very talented having obtained reaper form by doing amazing 12 hour Hero Challenge runs back then it was 400 points still.
Grenth especially values his selfishness and complete lack of boonsharing.
RMR is mostly known on Dragon Stand fighting the infinite loop of Mouth of Mordremoth ley energy terror.
Wielding 2 most powerful artifacts that originate from Grenth,Dark Harvest and Final Rest.
He is often seen saving people that are already weakened and often seen falling down the abyss in this state.
Although these people thank him for the quick save,he would often reply with “I only used transfusion to mend my minions,your pathetic salvation is only a byproduct of it”
Possibly to remain faithful to his selfish self.

Soo i just reached ruby after all those horrific matches in sapphire,but now..i think thats it..i will no longer participate in PvP.
I gained 1 tier in ruby today,then went back to 0..okay it happened countless times,so i just go do some more matches..but kitten..all i get is same people..over and over..and whats the best part of it…4 ruby,1 amber..all the time..like 4 teams i constantly was getting matched up against,I won’t name and shame..i mean..they should do it..why not?Anet implemented it,so yeah.Im thinking of making a new account just for my premade amber.If i ever go back to PvP in its current state.

Had 2 Dragon Stand fails today because we lacked people and no one joined taxis,inability to find good and populated maps intensifies.
Today was the worst day I ever had in gw2,I’m filled with negative emotions i can’t describe.

I mained Necro and now main Reaper,why?
Well because its the best class there is,I don’t care what anyone else says,I just love my reaper and enjoy playing it very much.It doesn’t even matter if I just grind sw,i just enjoy it allot no matter what i do.This is the only reason i bought this expansion.I don’t even have any other characters and i don’t plan on making any.
Reaper Master Race.

What if the egg doesn’t hatch at all,what if Glint has left this object just to contain the magic from the elder dragons as we vanquish them?

I don’t regret.
Alltho im pretty sure i will level up my maguuma masteries only untill i have items for my specialization skin and then never go to maguuma maps again,since they are not rewarding at all.Especially the Mouht of Mordremoth event is so long and yet rewards are on pair with Tequatl but time required for Teq is 15 mins.

same with my necro cache.
Friend of mine actually got his cache but he still didnt get collection achievement even after using it.So we have this type of bug as well.hopefully it gets fixed and we get some official response cause i aint seen no one adressing this issue.

Good job on the action camera,i really like it allot!
I will never go back to old tab target system.
Combat is now so much more fun,I can’t stop hitting stuff! And it helped me allot with Death Charge aiming

Now few things i don’t like about it.
Sometimes it is required to aim at the feet of my opponents so the crosshair will open up and i have the target.
When someone mark the target I should focus on,sometimes im unable to target at all unless I toggle ACC off and then back on.

Normal Crosshair(when i don’t have a target) is a frikin dot…it sucks totally and its nearly invisible in middle of action although it opens up when I have a target the lines are too thin and its look doesn’t fit the game theme.You should make it to something more beautiful and game themed,not this pure white lines,dots and circles.Turn on your imagination :P

This screenshot contains my inactive crosshair and its somewhere in all that glitter!

Im not really a good forum poster so my writing will not be appealing for some i guess.Also im writing this from phone cause when im home i cant stop playing!

I love this expansion and havent regreted buying it not even for a second!
Map design is flawless and unique.I love gliding and other masteries in jungle.Using exalted armour and having challenge to become worthy of it is just pure exciting fun.Love the system.
Story so far totaly nailed it.
I have unlocked my reaper this morning and its amazing.I see allot of people complaining about mastery gated Hero Challenges.It took me only a weekend to unlock my elite spec with casual playing.Well ofc i had 100% in tyria and not a tome user.
Action combat camera..what to say its just amazing and i cant go back to old targeting anymore.

HoT is worth 50.i can only regret not buying Ultimate edition.

This is just never ending fun.
People who complain are those same dungeon speed runners and meta zerkers that are used to getting everything done in 10 mins.
There is no grind here.only inpatient people who are used to getting everything handed to them on a plate.

Good job Anet and congratulations on releasing this awesome content expansion!

Sorry for bad engrish.

Rising Dusk.2408:

Non-commander raiding squads are available for all players to set up raids for free. You’ll have access to all necessary functionality without buying a tag.

I’m amazed by your speed and expertise! Keep it up and thank you!

I was wondering if the commander tag is mandatory in order to create a raiding squad?
I bought it during last beta but i have no idea should i buy one now for i don’t know will I have to be commander to create a squad..don’t wanna waste gold.

PvE wise,it is..it is very good i think even using GS is awesome in PvE.

Now for PvP
I have done a bunch of testing and played every beta weekend,I will not break into any stats,traits or skills.Lets make it simple
Why do i take reaper trait line? Well because i want that awesome Reaper shroud,not shouts,not GS,but that shroud is epic.
Well if i want to have maximum out of shroud then ill need to take Soul Reaping trait line to enhance it to its full potential.
This leaves me with 1 trait line of free will,because Reaper and SR are obviously forced upon us.
And even this free trait line is most likely Spite cause it synergies well with the other two.
Alright now that we have a build,we would use Knight,Soldier or Marauder amulets.
Survivability is low,DPS is somewhat good if u can maintain you shroud for a long period of time,but that is more unlikely cause you get focused down in 90% of situations.Because when they see Reaper they know its gona be chill and spin to win,so yeah lets kill it with fire and magnets,u get bursted down in 5 secs without any chance for survival in team fights.
Reaper provides Chill and High DPS and thats all there is to it really.
Playing my causal Power or Minion Master Necro provides far better results than Reaper at the moment,You can’t DPS if you are dead.
My MM build you can see here
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vRAQNBIhZakhGaqxuawvGYvxx0QNb5LoCkDQBEA0Z4GyUA-TZRBwAcODA02focZANHCAAPAAA
It provides High DPS,Condition Removal,Epic Survivability,Some Movability as well as good CC
My Minions heal me,yes they die and explode,but my shroud is already full and ready to use that 50% crit 1 untill they have recharged.Or maybe even use it before my minions die so i can heal them and my party memebers.
You might wonder why i havent taken the glorious consume conditions,well i have good condi removal from minions as well as staff 4,then there is the fact that my HP doesnt really drop that much in most of cases.
Discuss,Prove me that Reaper is better than this glorious MM.
Make me play reaper.

Im amazed with Reaper.thanks Mr Geesus

Indeed.Good job guys and thanks for staying up so late and kept working just to get this fixed.best devs ever!

Scambug.3502:

Leaderboards are down (not updated) because we are between 2 “seasons”.

Thank you for quick reply Scambug!

Im fairly new,playing for 2 months or so,i love sPvP and play ranked all the time,now when i wanted to check how was i doing on the leaderboards my name doesnt appear but all my guild mates and friends are there..is this a bug or wut?
Sorry if this has been asked already but i cant find anything related,except that leaderboard log in problems.

Hello everyone,Im new to Guild Wars 2.I played GW1 for years and well i just didn’t have time for gw2 when it came out,so i bought it just recently.
I have made my first character necromancer and leveled it up to 80 while i also completed entire world.
Now today i completed my personal story,it was in arah story mode where i fought this elder dragon Zhaitan and he looked really cool,but that was all there is to it,he was easier than Tequatl,Claw of Jormag or Shatterer.It was very underwhelming battle and i can freely say extremely disappointing.Thats not even worst part of it,in the end after defeating this dragon and saving the Tyria from its wrath..a pact commander..a hero..a hero that saved the world is rewarded with handful of blue items,helmet from arah dungeon,rare quality pact weapon,5 spirit shards and 5 tomes of knowledge.
This has really shaken me,the whole time i was doing this story..i was being told im a hero..savior or whatever..even in the end that boring low dps marshal Trahearne is telling me that Tyria owes everything to me and that as long as he is pact marshal he will make sure i get rewarded or whatever.
Pact is rich im sure of that,they make countless airships and send them into abyss on daily basis,that must cost allot of money,now then why don’t they give me some gold or something that is actually useful ?
I have bought Harbringer of Mordermoth Outfit and im ready to fight by the Elder Dragons side in the upcoming war,hopefully he will reward me much better than this corrupted Tyrian government and Pact.

This post may look trollish,but im honestly very disappointed with the reward and the story in general,at least if the final battle gave me satisfaction of wining.
And no im not whining or being nostalgic.

Make grasping darkness pull everyone arround you in radius of 400.so we get focused more often.

Reapers Might>Sphoned Power>You are all weaklings..constant 25 might..constant,always and forever…it drops to 10 sometimes in pvp..but in PvE its always 25.
Unyielding Blast>Bitter Chill>Decimate Defenses>Death Perception>Reapers Onslaught..whats that?..oh i need no precision at all….I guess ill full Valkyrie for vit.
Reapers shroud recharges 7 seconds..its full within 3 in PvE especially.
No one can beat dat damage,cancer icebow users will finally die.

Thanks for the advice guys.i honestly love to play necromancer and I’d probably quit the game cause ele is just classic mage and im sick of those..gona stick to necro and well maybe it gets better when the Reaper is out.

So its because im new.
Thing is i like to devote myself to one character not play 5 of them,especially not warriors and such,i like mages..so i guess ill take this elementalist and say good bye to my necro.I honestly hoped reaper will change that problem for me.

Now as you all know Necromancer has a hard time using LFG system cause we are not meta enough.
I have played this Reaper and it seems like it has some potential,now im not someone who will go into details about stats,boons or whatever when it comes to my characters,i just play them.this is why im unable to determine is Reaper going to be a good all around class something similar to elementalist or guard?
Should i go on playing Necromancer or should i just make a meta and delete my necro.Which is not something i would do honestly,from all classes Necro is by far my favorite,im just having trouble doing pve content with it.

Note that i am playing this game for 2 months and i have been kicked from 90% of dungeon or fractal parties i tried to enter.

I’m not going to go around and break down reaper skills,shouts,builds and whatever into some boring stats and say what needs to be improved.
I will just say i am enjoying Reaper much more than i have imagined.
He is fun to play,theme is now even better,Reaper Shroud has amazed me.
Maining necromancer since the start,this is by far the best update necromancer ever got,they just made most enjoyable class even more enjoyable.
Abit of tweaking will not hurt.Still i think developers did an awesome job on Reaper.
All in all 10/10 would play forever.

Thank you Anet,you did it.
