Guild Wars 2

Kind of agree with this, but the whole point of Weaver is to juggle two elements at a time, and quite literally you can picture the motion of juggling, grab with right hand (1&2) then pass it off to your left hand (4&5) and I think that seems cool.
Now, if you need to get to 4/5 quickly there is a stance skill called “unravel” that lets you swap to a pure element i.e going from water/earth straight to fire/fire
While it’s only a sort of fix to your problem, I think it would feel just fine

While I understand what you are saying, Elite specs are supposed to be better than the base class (and most are, with a few build exceptions), but the issue is there is only 1 for each class. Later, when we have 2+ elite specs to choose from it will be much better because they will be situational. It will go from a guardian always taking dragon hunter, to taking Dragon hunter when a ranged pressure/trap aoe is needed, or taking Cleric (just throwing a name out) when they need to heal.
As far as weapons, I will miss not being able to use a great sword on my necro when not taking reaper, but a lot of weapons you really can’t (or wouldn’t want to) use without their corisponding traits anyways.

From what I, and some of a my friends, have seen the support is pretty quick anyways. On multiple occurrences CS has replied within 5 mins, the longest being an hour. With some well worded, and funny responses.
Imo, while it may be a good thing to have, I don’t think it’s really needed.

^ use this, it makes crafting ez mode to level up, may take a bit will be boring, but you’ll only have to level each craft once and you’ll be set for your whole gw2 time.

Just learn what to look out for and it’s pretty easy to kill them, don’t sit back and pewpew with a longbow or you will just kill yourself. Also if you can’t see a helicopter flying towards you to dodge, that’s your issue, not the gyro’s
Like Sylvyn said, engis only have 1 gap closer, so we need something to block otherwise engi just get kited to death

Tbh most of the negative posts just sound like people who were fired, or got an idea turned down.

Lmao isn’t it so much fun getting raged at?

(Btw, may want to reupload the Ss with blacked out names, anet doesnt like name&shame and will lock the thread)

+1 this is a great idea

I expect a life size statue of a Quaggan riding a karka. >.>

Kind of a noob Mesmer question, but is there any specific purpose to being close while casting GS3? I don’t see any close range benefits on the toolbar. It’s been a while since I’ve played Mesmer regularly.

I could see it be done, but it would have to be a melee/range hybrid, similar to DCUO pistols, you have punches, kicks, and a quick dexterous fighting style, while still having a bullet spray and some medium ranged autos. Imo, give to warrior and make it power based >xD

I still think that the guild hall system was a test for player housing, if it can be done on a grand scale of the guild hall maps, making housing for players would be relatively easy. Hell, they could even expand scribe by doing that as more people will want to build decorations. Also, like a few others have pointed out gem items would sell like hot cakes with the amount of RPers/ those that want to decorate everything.

tl;dr-
“I don’t like it, therefore it is unfair and needs to be changed”

The point of jps are for a (sortof) challenging platforming ‘minigame’ if you enable gliders in jps it will just kill them even more than portals
Also, and this is going to seem/be a small rant … But nothing in this game feels like an achievement because everything has been dumbed down so much. Idk why everyone seems to need an easy way to obtain and do everything. Easy makes things get boring much quicker.

Plz no .. Only 50% into advanced gliding :P

Buy the code from the gw2 site → send it to the receiver

Even though it is soul bound, once you get the item it counts on your collection (as long as you have the collection open) and once it is finished in the collection, the item is useless.

It’s pretty simple to solo on any prof (I have played maps on all) … Idk why people constantly complain :/

Coming from games like Ragnorok, lineage, Ultima, WoW, any other mmo … This is no where near grind. HoT is actually fun, and well designed. VB is just the intro map to the jungle and more of a skill check than anything IMO. Once you get past it though, auric is easy like old maps, tangled is kind of a mindkitten but I like it since it fits it’s place, and Dragons Roost is just an epic map and will probably be where I go when I want to play long periods of time.

pops glint heal
Plz don’t nerf my healers u.u

Love how the xpac is laid out…. Got tired of the easiness of pact tyria and not having any sort of goal.
New maps are a great challenge and that is a good thing.
Elite specs actually feel elite and not just another useless traitline. And best of all, love the “kill or be killed” atmosphere of the jungle.

Thanks Anet!

Releases at 3am for me. Still going to stay up and play on my rev a bit though.

ROFL this is great

WTKITTEN … people whine “I WANT RAIDS I WANT RAIDS” then Anet makes them .. and now people are kittening because of the size? REALLY? this is just ridiculous .. i feel sorry for game devs for having to put up with this childish crap

This looks really good!

Ok at this point you have to be trolling. ….. You are answering your own question in your post.

Sigh … I give up

Why? Because your argument was defeated?

No…. My argument wasn’t defeated, I just refuse to argue with a wall :/

But for the sake of conversation .. I listed the reasons why it can’t happen and pretty much all of the transforms.

In case you couldn’t read my earlier post or I left some out.

Rampage(warrior)- stomp, bullrush, kick, bolas, fear me, would create an inescapable stunlock machine

Tornado(ele)- lightning flash, glyph of storm, cleansing fire, armor of earth, arcane shield, any signet. The amount of sustain and damage would be ridiculous, and still could keep you on top of your opponent to constantly knockback

Lich- spectral walk, spectral armor, wells, spectral grasp, spectral wall, blood is power… Lol need I really explain this? People cry about lich enough already

Rampage(engi elixer)- nades , turrets, rocket boots, tool kit pull, goggles, and this isn’t counting the potential of using tool belt skills. Once again, inescapable stun lock

Tornado(engi elixer)- same as engi rampage

Moa- while we typically regard this as a cc to debilitate players, it is still considered a transform coding wise and would get any of the blanket changes to transforms caused by this, and some classes moa wouldn’t even affect because of utilities e.g. engi elixer S, ele mist

And you can’t just change one transform and not all, people will complain about imbalance

Sigh … I give up

Khristophoros.7194:

Venatorn.7619:

Yes so I can use spectral walk, wells, or BiP while in lich

Can’t tell if sarcasm but you know they could adjust it to compensate for the added power, or not add the utility use to every transform. Lich is one of the few transforms that sees any use so it could easily be left as is.

However, Lich being used is not an excuse to leave the other ones as they are.

Yes .. That was sarcasm .. And all of the transforms are niche, you won’t see them being used 100% of the time .. Yes, lich does get used the most but necros don’t really have a power elite other than lich. Tornado will probably see more use with the wvw in HoT due to terrain and easy knockoffs, rampage is used some in PvP already and supposedly will get a break bar with HoT

Another reason they can’t is because of Moas, they count as a xform and would have to have The utilities useable too

Also, engi kits would screw it up, can you imagine a tornado(elixir x) shooting nades? Or crapping out turrets

Yes so I can use spectral walk, wells, or BiP while in lich

Ijs… If you are still playing with people who are kicking necros post patch .. You don’t want to be in those parties because they are likely idiots.

LOOKS AMAZING! good job Anet, props to you guys.

Lmao, could probably copy/paste it to any of the whining threads and just continue on the same conversation… Ya know .. I bet it’s some of the same people >.> (puts Sherlock hat on)

oh kitten .. too bad I didn’t see this before I bought my ultimate pack .. meh idgaf wouldn’t change a thing, Anet is hands down my favorite game company. I will definitely shell out some cash for them.

It’s amazing what people on the internet attempt to request……..

It starts at Noon PST, stop being lazy and convert it yourself .. Its not hard to do

I’m guessing a few things
Preorder/beta for HoT
Or
Lions Arch patch info/ Trait change release date
Or
Guild halls
Or
“Challenging group content” in HoT

After the Tuesday blog post, and the fact they are taking a little break from talking about specs, I’m guessing the second one most likely

Reaper or banshee both sound fricken kitten

Edit: Inb4 a million Ichigo Kurosakis spawn

Kinda figured this would happen given anet’s recent interest in every (large) gaming convention so far.. Hopefully by then they will have a release date. That would also line up with the vague hints of when spec blogs are finish, the xpac is finished

So you want to beta new content, which is most likely PVE content but you don’t want to PVE to gain access to it?

I’ve played every game mode and PVP is the most toxic out of all of them..

Funny, I have had the opposite experience with PvE’ers who see you playing a necro or engi and insta kick you
..
To each there own i guess

If someone kicks a necro, they are an kitten hole …. if someone kicks an engi … they are kittened

The set is supposed to be prestigious and add a bit of stats as a reward for hard work. Please don’t make it easier.

Tbh, if you have alts it is cheaper in the long run since you need one set for each build. E.g. you have an engi, thief, and ranger. The zerkers leather ascended coat is ~60-75g and that is with buying everything (excluding vision crystal ofc) so cuting that in thirds as if you were to buy 3 zerker coats is ~20-25g. Even if you play casually, that’s pretty easy.
The only thing that even remotely should get a “fix” is cloth. Especially for tailors.. Poor kittens

Whoever had the idea to do the beta invites as a lootable drop deserves a raise. It promotes active gameplay and (somewhat)ensures active players will get invites. (Of course you must also bow to RNGesus)

+1 Anet

welp .. time to move to Seattle >.>

No reason for an apology lmao .. I knew it was a bad build .. hence the [ ] in the title .. just thought it was pretty fun so I thought I’d share.

but fyi, it can work in PvP. Viable is a horrible word. And if a thief can burst me down without me noticing him and taking him out first, good for him, but 99% of thieves are predictable, most classes that can “instagib” are predictable tbh

but its still expiremental even for a kitten build

also, yeah I changed out flame turret for FT kit, forgot the gw2skill link was made before I swapped it

Sylentir.8913:

In PvP and WvW, I laugh at people who complain about me “playing unfair”. Yes, I will knock you off a cliff if it will kill you. Yes, I will run away if losing, heal, and return with friends. Yes, I’ll try to lure you into NPCs that are friendly to me and hostile to you. While I don’t often run it since it’s honestly pretty boring, if I run quadturret, I will laugh as I leave you stunlocked.

You want a fair 1v1, find a custom arena for dueling. Anywhere else, I’ll use every dirty trick (aside from actual cheating or exploits, those are a no-go) that I can to win. And if you angrily whisper me about how you could kick my no-skill behind in a fair 1v1, I’ll laugh because true or not, it doesn’t matter. Arenas are 5v5 for a reason, and WvW can have hundreds of players active. 1v1ing is just stupid.

completely agree about engi being complicated, I chose it for the same reason lol .. but yeah, leaving turrets up arent very good because they lack a bit of damage and can die easily, but if you use the tool belt skill -> drop the turret while its on cd -> either drop a field or have a teamate drop a field the turret -> blow up the turret , it can be good for utility

they can be very effective, its just..PvE engi turrets are like an abstract painting .. first glance you think you should do one thing and it’s just meh, but after looking at them and messing around a bit, you can learn some tricks

ooh really loving how Sword and dagger are looking for rev.. I want to try a S/A and a S/D

Because typically if you use turrets people seem to think you are traited for turrets and they are kind of a waste in PvE bc they can die easily, BUT they can have some decent utility if used correctly (tool belt turret destruction is a blast finisher)

and tbh, don’t worry about what kittenes say, they are just jealous they can’t afk with turrets and still get credit .. if you see anyone telling you that you are “useless” … give them the ,.|.. >.< ..|., and ignore it .. you arent being useless, you are still dpsing, ressing, etc w/e you were doing

So …. I was bored and was just kitten ing around playing random builds. and I started using one that was actually kind of fun, did a decent amount of damage, has the same vuln stacking as the typical nade builds, has a bunch of blasts and a fire field in tool belt (flame turret toolbelt skill)

Here’s the build:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fdAQFAUlUUpqqlYxmKseNSbBNyw8GQeiJ85HEgjC-ThRBABXt/o8DPdAPcBAA4BAQp6PmpEMAwBwv/GA87vL/7y/WKA9UaB-e

I know what you are thinking. “Turrets in pve, LOL this guy’s a scrub” but hear me out for a second x.x

I have flame and rifle turrets because of static discharge mainly, you will be pretty much spamming tool belt skills off of cooldown and they will be on cd a decent amount of time (25s on Napalm, and 8s on Suprise shot), instead of just waiting for them to come off of cd, drop a turret so there is a little bit of extra dps for a bit of time, plus a decent burst when they blow up.

Pay attention to your turrets and have a mental clock for your cooldowns, if you think a cooldown is almost finished for your toolbelt or a turret is about to die, blow that kitten up.

*Healing*If you start running low on hp and need a strong burst heal, use the same 6-6-f1 spam quickly for the water blast… BUT now you have extra blasts if you have other turrets up and more heals for your party.
Also, the f1 toolbelt skill for healing turret is a water field, press that (an extra SD will go off too), then blow up a turret for a water blast.

might stacking this build, with correct timing and a bit of pre combat weapon/skill swapping can stack 15 might. all you have to do is.. equip a shield, and change grenades to bomb kit, equip your bomb kit and place all of your turrets close together, drop big ’ol bomb, then drop your bomb 2 skill for a fire field, once it erupts, blast your shield 4 skill, your big bomb will go off, and blow up all of your turrets, thats 5 blasts so 15 might then just quickly swap back to nades and rifle and murder stuff.

aoe stealth dont have a thief? or their shadow refuge is on cooldown? no problem .. do the same thing as the might stacking but with smoke bomb and boom 15s of stealth

afk mode swap grenades to rocket turret, place all turrets, swap traits around and get Autotool instalation (inventions X), drop your care package, then go to the rest room, go get a drink, whatever. (very useful for some of those tedious hearts, and if you need to do a bit of house work)

sidenote, i put this build as a pve build, but once you get your timing right, its pretty decent in sPvP and WvW roaming (bursty glass cannon), its pretty good in WvW zerging simply because you have 1500 vuln stacking spamnades, and ofc the prestacking might or swiftness
