Guild Wars 2

That is because Facebook sucks and is slowly losing users. I deleted my Facebook page back in September of 2011.

People in here complaining about what other people do with THEIR money.

You’re a moron. The people who GvG are probably the ones that uphold your server in the first place. The ones who dedicate a lot of their time to WvW, when they could be spending it elsewhere. Yet, when they go to challenge a guild from another server for fun it is suddenly called exploitative farming?

Makes sense.

Shame on Anet? You’re the the one who spent the money on the boxes while knowing you might get jack.

Shame on you.

At the moment there are 21 possible chest you can achieve. They give out, 1, 5 and 15 gold. 1, 2, 5 and 10 laurels. This will occur over the next few weeks.

Assuming you have 10k achievement points you will get somewhere around 40-50 laurels and somewhere around 60 gold over the course of three weeks.

Considering that most people do not have over 6000 achievement points and the fact that these are retroactive and will take 21 days to go fully into effect for the few people that have over 10k points: This is in no way, shape or form flooding the market with gold. This is not affecting the market and it is not harming anything.

In three weeks, I could earn 500 gold simply by farming CoF. Quit your crying and enjoy your free stuff.

That’s okay, I’ll just be sure not to buy anything from the trading post with actual cash anytime soon.

Amirite? I mean look at them. They get assault rifles, grenades and scary explodey thingies. They even get AH64 Apaches.

Now that is not fair.

Nerf please.

For once I agree with the original poster. Fantastic post.

I could not agree more with your point on currency. Why do we need a new currency with every addition to the Living Story? It just makes things more complicated. Simplifying all these LS currencies into one currency type would actually be very appreciated.

If a single currency type, for all these LS updates, were to be created it could be added to the new wallet and not have to be worried about in the long run. If we wanted to see our balance we could simply go to our wallet and check instead of having to rush to the bank to check.

I’m at 35k+ kills and I’m not complaining.

Sacrex hit 250k kills and he did not complain.

At that it has already been stated that they’re looking into changing the AP system for WvW.

Truth be told, 25k kills is very easy to achieve and you do not deserve a reward for getting there.

I’ve completed the first raid wing several times and the second once (Pugged it into a GASM / NA group who walked me through it). And have yet to find a good group that contained elitists. Most runs I have done are half guild / half pug and have all went smoothly. Some full pug, some full guild.

Only one ever required a gear check and also a Legendary Insight check because it was Experienced Only.

I still join PuG groups to help out too.

At that, you see ‘elitism’ because we’ve all experienced the one liar who joins and completely screws up everything because he/she refuses to admit they don’t know what they’re doing or, worse, have completely wrong gear (Sorry, you’re not going to be DPSing anything if you’re in PVT armor and you’re also pulling aggro from the tank). People want experienced individuals and post for them because of this. People running raids are generally there to get it done fast-ish without frustration.

There are plenty of guild with capable people who are willing to teach as long as you’re willing to listen. I joined one, since left it, but they walked me through everything and taught me what’s expected of the classes I can provide. Since then I’ve been invited to different groups. Plenty of groups do training runs and you can find them somewhat easily. Such as over in /r/guildwarsrecruitment on Reddit. I also see quite a few training runs going on every now and then in LFG.

“The brave Dragonbrand Invaders ran away.
(”No")
Bravely ran away away.
(“We didn’t!)
When danger reared it’s ugly head,
They bravely turned their tails and fled.
(”no!“)
Yes, the brave Dragonbrand Invaders turned about
(”We didn’t!“)
And gallantly they chickened out.
****Bravely**** taking (”We never did!“) to their feet,
They beat a very brave retreat.
(”all lies!“)
Bravest of the braaaave, Dragonbrand invaders!
(”We never!“)”

Complements from one of our dear guild members. I felt it would be more appreciated here.

I pick Khylo every time.

I got it because it’s cool.

A one trick pony is gonna ruin a game because I’m bad and don’t know how to power spike :<

Make a group and say “any profession welcome”. All the people that couldn’t join those groups will join yours.

I do it all the time.

Then you proceed to turn a potential 5-10 minute run int a 30 minute run full of wiping and frustration. ANet just needs to homogenize all of the classes. At this point, nothing could make the classes worse than they already are.

Make every class have a build/weapon setup capable of dealing identical damage to Zerk Warriors. Make every class have a build/weapon setup that offers them identical and support/utility as Mesmers. There, everything is the same and boring now. I’d still honestly prefer that over having 2 good classes, and 6 terrible ones.

If you have a group full of idiots, yes. I run CoF all the time with a random mix and we still do it in 10-15 minutes.

You just “Offended” the vocal minority by calling them a minority. Prepare for a possible ragefest about how they thinnk they’re the majority because they say so.

Onto the thread topic. I love this game and can’t thank the Devs enough for the enjoyment that it has brought me. Though my thanks is less noticeable when weighed against the baw’ers of these forums.

Surviving assassination thieves and then turning around to chase them off or kill them.

So you are complaining about a single skill that no one else seems to have an issue with and you offer no constructive criticism on how, you think, Meteor Shower could be fixed; even though it is working perfectly fine.

Another useless complaint thread by a person who needs to learn to play. Move along citizen there is nothing to see here. Unless you want your IQ lowered.

Do not go to Jade Quarry. They are evil, bad people! They will kidnap your children and force them to work in factories! Factories cluttered with teddy bears that are filled with high explosives and broken glass!

Albione.3894:

At this stage I wouldn’t mind them just gutting almost all of the skills and replacing them with something like this:

• Make skill 1 ‘Bolts of Wrath’. Increase range to 1200. Fires bolts out the end of the staff (essentially keeping the same animation as Wave of Wrath) that can hit multiple enemies if they’re between you and your target.

• Make skill 2 ‘Rays of Light’. Streams multiple beams of light down from above your enemy target burning them every second while also healing allies nearby at set intervals.

• Keep skill 3 the same.

• Make skill 4 ‘Vigorous Blessing’. Cast swirling energy around a target ally, granting continuing stacks of might and regeneration to them and allies nearby. Can target self.

• Make skill 5 ‘Warding Wave’. Projects an immense wave of cleansing energy in the direction of your choosing, turning conditions on allies into boons, while crippling enemies that it passes through.

It’d be nice to get a ‘Core Guardian’ weapon for Guardian that’s longer range than what we have without owning HoT, especially since PoF doesn’t natively come packaged with that expansion.

With the right balance, this would be a great rework.

Xolo.3580:

The more I play GW2 the more I’m against capitalism.

You’d hate EVE Online then. CCP doesn’t mess with the player Economy except for a few certain ‘control’ items that are very, very important to the game community.

Some items are price gauged to the tens billions of ISK (One billion ISK in EVE is worth 32 USD~) and man, it’s painful obtaining them: Unless you did what I did and yarhar fiddle de de being a highsec pirate is so fun to be! Do what you want cause a highsec pirate is freee; you are a highsec pirate.

-

I find this unlikely that there’s actually a item available. People have been managing to throw things on the market that should not be there; this might just be another one of them.

Funny, I’ve been having a darn good time.

Like I said, welcome back to S1. Every one of those wins are on guardian and I suspect with a duo partner.

This kind of disparity is exactly what made S1 so awful.

Hearing a DH brag about doing well is more than just a little annoying. Congrats you can place traps on a point and pull people into them. I mean, maybe they aren’t running that build but that seems unlikely.

I play an off meta burn guardian. And I duo with another person running the same build.

Traps are dumb.

I mean, even while it’s true Burn Guard has greater weaknesses than trap spam, it’s pretty easy to destroy with because of how fast the damage ramp up is. Of course this is from a Warrior so you can understand my annoyance. Sure core War with Might Makes Right as a focus is decent, but man do you have to fight for your kills compared to a lot of other classes. Also, while your sustain is good it requires making sure you miss as few of your attacks as possible.

Then you swap and try out another build and you find yourself going “wow, I have to work so much less for everything.” Of course if you kill anyone as War you get told how easy your class is.

Pretty much. Easy to play, not much thinking past your first burst. Just keep spamming symbols and things die.

darkwombat.3695:

No Walking.6349:

Long Bow for guardians….. no
Hammer for Engineers….. yes
Great Axe…. sure, why not lol.

Then increase staff range for Guardians then.

And give us the greataxe.

GW2 also copies EVE Online.

I mean, just look at that market place!

Five/Five celestial trinkets on guardian w/preferred backpiece is still pretty kitten good. Don’t see how the removal of magic find (Which did nothing to help your build) has changed this.

Game isn’t dying at all. Move along citizens, this is just another doom and gloom thread. Ten bucks says OP believes we all die on the 22nd.

Some people are pansies. That is why.

For the real reason: Game is being sold to a wide audience and some countries have their own rating systems. Have to keep some aspects to a minimum in order to get past those rating systems.

Australia is known to ban games for some of the dumbest things, for example. (PROTECT THE CHIIIILDDDREEEENNN!!!!!!)

Dahkeus.8243:

Because ArenaNet always loves to give back.

Now if only they were head pieces.

You people cry so hard you make EVE Online’s Goon Swarm look like men.

Maybe in theory, but when you can use Stone Spirit for perma-protection, why take a hammer guardian?

It’s called having fun.

Raids are not solo content. Unless you have 9 other friends, have fun getting kicked.

A) I generally run Condi Ranger and, on KC, standard staff Ele. I run guardian only in pugs or when raid leader allows it in our static (depends on how they’re feeling usually)
B) I have a static who couldn’t give a kitten less about what I run because I make it work (not being a bad player really helps).
C) I highly doubt I’d get kicked from a pug raid because all the other DPS classes never really know what they’re doing; specially if they’re running ele. On a good day I can press 15-20k (In raid, not on the test golem) on Guardian with off meta loltier builds that I run for kittensngiggles. I do it on wing 1 bosses, Sloth, other easy ones. Cause it’s fun and refreshing.

If people would chill out and stop running the qT meta BS constantly (WHICH IS ONLY OPTIMAL IF PEOPLE ARE NAILING THEIR ROTATIONS) raids would be a lot more awesome. With the introduction of legendary armor outside raids you’re going to see a massive drop in people attending because of that ‘lol u gunna git kicked’ attitude that you, and others, have. I’d much rather have put 1000 hours into WvW for my legendary armor than the time I did for raids(But too late there, already have it >.<). It’s more engaging, it’s far from frustrating and no one can judge your build or tell you what to do.

But you know, raid elitism~

This would be amazing, but the obvious response is “We gave you boons for that,” or something underwhelming per the usual.

I back this suggestion, as I always find myself outran by other players who aren’t Guardians after I blow my CC to keep them close. I cannot afford to have the 20s swiftness boon “Retreat!” as it sacrifices much more needed boons.

As a counter to this! Remove our “Retreat!” shout.

50% nerf was a 50%~ nerf (I’m down from 650~ to 370~), some of us just have a lot of power (Which affects ret. damage).

And yeah. If you fire a barrage into a zerg of people, you’re bound to die from retaliation since one of the Guardians main shouts gives it out. Get over it.

Get smart, stop being a baddy, things will change. Stop requesting nerfs.

No. No. NO. Nope. Nooo. NOPE! NO! NO! HELL NO! NO!

nopeNopeNOPE!

Nyet, nein, nada, nope and HELL no!

I’ll give you a fish. However, not just an ordinary fish, this fish loves porn. Oh yes, let me tell you. I cannot leave the room without him changing the channel to something odd. I always come back and have to cover my eyes in terror. The fish just shouts at me to get out of his house.

Ah yes, he evicted me from my home and stole my family from me. He took them to America and they’re now millionaires.

However, he still belongs to me and I can give him away. Once an owner, you can use his money for whatever you wish.

I’m sure you could sell him for gold too.

Glue factory. Charr ran out of glue and needed more glue to keep their rust buckets together.

I would really like a modern armor layout for the gem store to appear.

Such as a EOD suit for heavy armor classes. Your standard vest, shoulder pads, knee pads, arm guards, etc. for medium (AKA Not a trench coat). Some sort of flak vest layout for lights.

Would look pretty bad kitten on a few of the classes.

Attacking a burn guard, DH or base, while he is blocking is what kills you. Base burn has pretty nasty defensive block burns. DH burn has extremely nasty active burns (every time you attack the DH gets a full justice charge he can apply).

Simply don’t attack any major blocking skills. So the F3 if DH and Focus 5. Stay the hell away from purging flames if the player is using that.

Kiting actually works extremely well on most burn guards. You can juke scepter orbs by spamming left/right movement. If you can trick a burn guard into camping scepter you’ll more than likely win.

The other important thing to understand is, while yes our passive damage is very good, our spike damage is what makes us deadly. If you avoid our spike you have a decent chance at countering.

Also, in team fight, focus a burn guard over a necro every time. A good burn guard will nuke you ten times faster than a necro.

Darknicrofia.2604:

A full burn guard also has next to zero stunbreak/stability. CC it outside of block and they’re easy kills

And this is 100% true. We have two stun breaks. Easy to lock a burn guard down.

Nightarch.2943:

Every fortnight I sacrifice charr slashing their throats allowing blood to spill out, collecting it and using it as ink for my parchment which I obtain from skinning their cubs alive strung up with a bowl below. I thrive on their cries of agony, I savour their pain with malevolent delight, each scream brings me respite from restraint. Every fortnight I capture a charr cub, carving out their eyes from their sockets placing them below to see them selves fall from the walls of Ebonhawke!

General Butt Naked and his men slit the throats of children and drank their blood before heading into battle naked during Liberia’s civil war.

I’m serious.

You are GW2’s version of General Butt Naked.

I did, but I was wrong about justice.

Comparing Justice passive procs.
FB: 1 3/4s @ 586 – 335 /s
DH: 3 1/2s @ 1171 – 335 /s
Core: 6 3/4s @ 2,341 – 347 /s
Done in sPvP lobby with carrion stats, balth runes and smoldering sigils.

Justice got a pretty nice buff considering it burns quicker now.

What does “burns quicker” mean, all conditions behave the same regardless of their skill of origin.

And you calculated it yourself that the dps is the same (nothing quicker there), but the duration is lower. So what exactly is your point?

Very short burn duration means less time to clear it. Basically less time to stop the house from burning down. Faster burns are a good thing.

The only downside is less potential damage, but that potential damage doesn’t really matter in PvP (where the tests were done). It gives you more guaranteed damage which is great. In WvW I messed around a little and you can potentially turn FB Justice passive into a very, very deadly thing if your build revolves around it.

My take anyway.

Are you seriously saying that less burn is better?

1 second of burning does x damage.
4 seconds of burning does up to 4x damage, but i will never do less damage than 1 second of burning, unless you cleanse it immediately, in which case both 1s and 4s will do 0 damage.

Burning is damage over time. The more duration the better, you can’t say less duration is better because you can’t cleanse it. Guess what, it “cleanses” itself, because it stops ticking sooner than the 4s burn.

Know what? You’re right. I wasn’t thinking straight earlier cause I had just woken up and was rushing around cause I was heading out.

I got trapped in the keep. I was a scared little charr :&lt;

[CHAR] gone? Good riddance I say.

You know what’s funny? A burn guardian sitting in the backline spamming Symbols from Longbow and Scepter, Longbow #5 and purging flames (procing PW dozens of times a fight) is twice as easy and possibly more rewarding than the original staff :>

There is no argument against it. People saying we got easy loot? We still get easy loot with even less effort. All you need is Carrion armor and Dire everything else. A longbow and scepter/???.

People are in here acting like they play Guardian and know anything about it. Acting like they know what’s healthy for the class. I’m still in the backline farming bags no effort. Guardian will always be better at getting no effort loot than you.

This entire argument comes down to “You weren’t playing the way we wanted you to” and I still ain’t.

No.

There’s no reason for this to occur.

I think I beg to differ.

Tomes beforehand were absolutely garbage and were replaced with two, much more usable, skills. Tomes were also not F1-F3.

Got any other braindead things to complain about?

A warning for every single ecto I salvage is the last thing I want…

“Click, yes, click, yes, click, yes, click, yes…”

If I want to see a nude Charr or a nude human like character I’ll go to one of many artistic sites that allow those types of drawings.

>all the other staff skills got a buff.

All the other staff skills are useless in the mode’s they’re intended for outside of #3.

Only a guardian will shout “Save yourselves!” and die for doing it.

(That was a terrifying experience ;;)

I notice that BP and EB are for the most part avoiding fighting each other and are concentrating on DR. I vacillate between being honored that you guys fear us so much that you must team up on us and smfh at how strange you look in the skirt and pig-tails..

Considering Ebay Just took Our bay With 10 Golems, Considering we took their lowlands 2 times today, Considering they also took overlook yesterday, When you lose. Dont make bad excuses, admit your defeat, you’re making your server look terrible

Oh, terribly sorry. Most rude of us… We were looking for parking and found no lots on your BL. You might want to consult your public services department on that. =D

We do so loves our golem trains. Can’t just park them anywhere you know?. Choo choooo!

Dont Mess with Borlis Pass Brother, Remember We’ll Always hunt you Down

Congrats, you dominated EB on our down time! Slow clap

I heard Ebay has 24/7 map coverage. That scared us here in BP..

We did, against people who shouldn’t have been in the tier they were. It angered me when it happened for three weeks in a row. Then we got three weeks of getting our butts stomped by people with twice our numbers. And now we’re here. And I hope we stay here.
