Guild Wars 2

Same here, was hyped when gliding down to the Last Leap POI, such epicness. BAM, nothing.

Stuck at map loading, and get network error after a while. Eu server Ruins of Surmia

Do you even read your forum posts?
This is going on for months and nothing has been done.
And don’t tell me to report or submit your kittening ticket, because it’s a kitten PERMA STEALTH THIEF. Tell me how to report an idiot when you can’t even see/click on them, there is not even combat log.
DO SOMETHING

It’s too much for my toons. Besides, why do I need legendary when I can get the same stats with Ascended?

Idk about others but for me, 70% cause the skin and 30% cause the ability to change stat ooc.

I don’t know what happen but this happen to me since yesterday. If my party is already inside the fractal, I won’t be able to join them.
Things happen in this order:
1. I join a party in LFG, a new fractal level selection window pop up in the middle of my screen, can only set to my max level (Like if I’m level 18, and join a level 19, I can’t set it to 19)
2. I will try to walk to the Asura gate, same thing ^
3. I will try to WP far away in LA, the same window pop up but at the bottom left of my screen, no idea why
4. I have to try to find a group that not already in fractal (Still in LA) or make a group myself
5. Or I just rage quit.
This is so annoying, especially with the unstable connection till latest patch, it’s impossible to complete a fractal now without the fear of getting dc and can’t rejoin.

Even if it’s the selection window and not the join window you’ll still join your party if it was a port popup (does not work with the window you get from running into fractals).

Nope, if I press enter Fractal, it basically a new instance for only me, at the area with the Golem merchants and the gate to fractals.

Usually got stuck at the loading screen.
And I don’t know if this is a bug, but whenever I join a Fractal party, the level selection window pops up for a new fractal (even tho I’m in a party). Same with when I go near the Asura portal, makes me cannot join my party.

It’s so frustrating. Everytime I switch map it stuck. It’s even more frustrate in fractal, 3rd times today I got stuck in mid run, and when I relog I can’t join my party anymore, it keep popping up a new level selection window for a new fractal. Wasted 2 hours today for nothing.
Fixed the kitten thing please.

I am trying to follow the reasons of the hate, but I not seen any problem personally so I am afraid I really not understanding the issues. Could you point me to the topic where these problem are being discussed?

You see, a while back they introduce Eotm for people who waiting for queue, and long story short, it turned into a karma/wxp/exp train now, everyone turn their brain off and go in circle to take stuff. Now “normal” WvW is about strategies, unless your zerg is x3 times bigger, there is always a way to defend a tower/keep. And this is what make WvW fun just the way it is for the last 3 years. Defenders try to defend, and attackers try to take it. It is not that easy for both sides to achieve what they want, and there are so many ways to achieve what they want. And now this event. Even before this event we WvWers trying to point out so many times that Golems are a bit strong, and if a zerg has the funds and the time for about 10 20 golems, its still able to fight back. But free cost golem, 100% power and 100% movement speed? What is the point of WvW here anymore? It just turn into a karma train. You cant defend, and you just need to stand still, spam 1 and everything is done. Canon? AC? Please, gates down in seconds.
And to be honest here, Im not saying that you have no experience in WvW to understand this, but it comes to the veteran WvW players who ask nothing but fix bugs and balance seiges. Fun? How about an event that actually fun but keep the fundamentals of WvW, what makes WvW WvW. If we want stuff like golem rush, we will go to Eotm, thanks.

I mean, some folks will like this kind of “fun event” that “only” last for a week. But I think most dont. It’s just each player perspective I guess? It was fun for the first 1 or 2 hours.
Oh well, guess I will take a week off.

Isnt that the Burn Guardian which tick over 60k a sec?

So, if I want to play S/D, the best build to play is D/P
Great, thanks for the advice.

People like the new system cause now they can play OP builds and one shot two shot someone. Fun.. pfff, of course unbalance is fun

I actually don’t think the problem here is the damage buff of Mesmer. The damage buff is over the board, and it’s a good idea (maybe), but what went wrong is the lack of defense overall. I mean, is ANet trying to make fights cannot last for more than 2 seconds? It is either you burst your opponent first or you get bursted. Shatter mesmer, backstab thief, fresh air ele, just the same problem. It’s not fun anymore because now it’s the matter of who have more stun/daze/lockdown and funny enough a little better ping will help you as well. As again, the problem is not only the mesmer buff/nerf whatever it is, but the stat balance overall. Too high damage potential but defense just meh. Thief get bursted? Understandable. Full dire cheesy condi engi get bursted? Uhm.. what? Tank guard get bursted? Okay.. I mainly WvW and the unbalance is real. It feels like you are forced to play something you don’t want to (to be effective etc.)
Damage buff is fine. Need more defense.
Wait so that bring us back to the before patch?
What am I saying..?
Sorry, I’m just a sad thief wander in the mesmer forum trying to figure out how can I play against you guys…

So, right at the moment in Ruins of Surmia borderland we are dealing with a hacker, who fly in Bay, Hills, towers, etc and cap them in 5 seconds. Dealing with him is hard enough, and it’s even harder when there is a whole Miller’s Sound zerg running around.
Our night-shift peeps already report him, but I don’t know if ANet will do anything about it. And I know I can’t call him out, don’t know why.
Why some people is so kittenty that they have to hack to achieve something
Oh well.

so it’s just not GuidWars it all online gaming.

All online gaming huh..

Yesterday is the 7:11:3:189:101 code, now this. EU server Ruins of Surmia. I don’t know what to say anymore. Don’t tell me it’s my connection or cable. Everything else works fine, except this game.

The game continuously crashing every 10 mins now, it’s really annoying to play. At first I thought it’s because my firewall (as they suggested), so I turned off, but game still crash. Then I realize I have no problem playing before patch, so it must be something wrong since I update the game. Please fix this. This problem seems to happen every patch.

Hey guys,
I’m a new GW2 player and currently play thief. I tried out condition damage thief (P/D) but the burst thief (D/D) is more fun for me. I’m having trouble with building weapon, armour, and adding the right sigil, so the outcome damage will be massive. Before specifically asking, no, I don’t care if Thief is stupid with Death Blossom spam so don’t give advice like ‘you should play ranger or necro instead’. I’m only looking for burst thief advices for PvE. I did some research but there are too many options, hope someone can help me
So, with that in mind, I have a few questions

TL;DR: Does burst thief need condition damage/duration? Should I add Vitality, Toughness? What utility skills are best for PvE? And also for PvE, traits? Can you replace sigils on high rarity items?

1. I’m focusing on Power – Precision – Ferocity, mostly Power then Precision, because if you can’t crit much, what is the point of having ferocity right? Is this a right thing to do? Should I add Condition/bleeding duration/damage for DB?

2. PvE is not really hard for me, using the D/D burst build and a SB for AoE clear and kite when needed. But sometime I think the full damage build is quite squishy, 1 mistake and you die instantly. Should I add Vitality/Toughness in the build then?

3. For the utility skills, I use Hide in Shadow, Shadow Refuge (of course), Assassin Signet *(for the increase power, I think in low level the increasing amount of power is huge), *Shadowstep (break stun, positioning better), and Thief Guild (since I’m soloing most of the time). Shadowstep, hmm, I don’t use that much, should I change it to Smoke Screen for the blind and projectile shield, or*Caltrops* for the extra bleeding and cripple so I can kite? There are so many skills, I don’t even know what to do

4. For the traits, I have no idea what to do. Even though I only have 2 points at the moment and I added 1 point to Deadly Arts and 1 to Critical strike for the extra power and stuffs. What advice can you give me for the build at this level?

5. Planning on making new set of armour, weapon etc. every 10 or 15 levels, and I only want to use the Masterwork or Rare set. The sigils can be replace right? Even on high rarity items? How often do you change your set in low level (40 – 60)? And I usually buy a set with empty slot, buy the upgrade materials, all on Black Lion Trading post. Is that the best way to build?

Thank you very much everyone, really appreciated the advices and opinions
