Guild Wars 2

Thieves are still missing the support component that PS Wars and Heralds bring.

Hawken son of Z.1367:

I need to stop visiting these forums.. 90% of it is people crying cuzz “awww its to hard! Boo boo!” or " I can’t find enough people to help with this even tho I’m not asking in map chat! Boo boo"

My lord.. Tears tears tears. Ask in map chat u’ll get plenty of help, or just try it more than once? Ive yet to find a HP (yes even the harder ones) that can’t be done with 2-3 people. If u can’t find 1 other person to help u with harder content than there’s no hope for you at all. But… There is plains of Ashford

I’m glad you were able to find someone in a reasonable amount of time to help you out. Good for you! On the other hand, a lot of other players had to wait around for a long time to get one HP. I think this is a decent idea, especially as someone who doesn’t play at peak times.

Isn’t sword auto the strongest of the auto?

Congrats, you took an absolute boring grind fest and made it sociable. You can easily do this just by hanging out in LA, but you would never do that because you aren’t doing anything to progress your character.

Why do you need someone to convince you? Honestly. If I ever needed to ask someone “convince me on this thing,” I was already towards getting the thing. You have tons of positive feedback on the r/guildwars2 subreddit. Check that out if you want positivity.

So… Basically like Guardian does with staff? But I’m surprised if this does work because of how awful hammer is with terrain.

They do talk! I know Glint groans very loudly when I turn on Infuse Light. And occasionally on swap they’ll say something, too.

How exactly does a Revenant even gain the ability to use Legendary heroes skills? Does he need to earn their favor? Defeat them? Have a common goal?

Power and minions with D/? and Staff for range. Don’t use conditions in PvE because some of the hearts require you to break stuff and conditions don’t help there.

Drarnor Kunoram.5180:

Only change I would do to Mark of Evasion is to remove the ICD. At bare minimum, reduce its cooldown to match the actual Mark of Blood.

PLIS

warriors get like 3k+ hits off of theirs which has no cooldown
ours does less than 500, 2 stacks of bleed, and a five second regeneration on a class where healing power is laughable and a game where condition damage is horrifyingly underperforming if not used in massive bursts

i also never noticed the twice-as-long-cooldown….

i hate comparing classes, but, plis doe

(edited for weird language filter proc on “five seconds”)

Oh huh. It’s way worse than staff’s Mark. Almost double CD, lower damage, lower radius, and a smaller heal.

I’m doing map completion on a character, and the low level zones are ridiculously occupied.

That guy you reported could’ve been doing auto-run and afk eating like you. I haven’t seen many bots lately even the whisper bots trying to sell gold.

rogerwilko.6895:

why Reaper? it still does not offer much in terms of party support, or?
I understand that it has really strong damage dealing skills but what about everything else the necro was missing until now?

DPS and true melee.

A lot of issues I have with the Druid spec have been touched on and what I’m going to say comes from a primarily PvE point of view. Low healing power numbers, low damage, no boons, locked into staff to really get celestial form, glyphs are bad and low range, you can’t into celestial without form bar and if you leave you lose everything, no damage on avatar (not a big deal if HoT changed things and allows tagging based on healing or something but it would still be nice if a meteor did damage), and traits seem a bit mixed up.

For the ranger positives, love the new pets except the wyverns (the fire F2 should be targetable not based on wyvern position) and yeah. That’s all the positives. I’ve heard of some people using their pets as the dos and keeping it alive with staff and such, but that seems laughable because let AI is still a joke. Outside of raids (if it is truly that difficult) and WvW, I don’t see Druid doing well. No on demand stability keeps it out of PvP.

My main wish is for the Druid to become a support bot not a heal bot. If we can pump out boons and heals (especially in difficult PvE content where it’s one shot to die), I might actually use Druid in PvE.

Reaper/Chrono/Herald. These 3 seem to be the most polished and unique all around.

Daredevil is boring and not “new,” DH is just awful all around, Druid can’t deal damage and therefore can’t tag in events (maybe this’ll change with the actual release of HoT), Scrapper hammer seems amazing but the gyros are lackluster, and I don’t know enough about the others to say much. Also this is all from a PvE perspective.

BillFreist.1527:

Sure, but that’d mean a feature from HoT would have to be cut in order to make up the lost development time. Is that something you could live with?

Yep.

Probably human because then my armor would have the least chance of clipping

Wait, let me understand this. You’re complaining YBs isn’t losing WvW. And then you’re upset you didn’t realize how difficult mapping WvW which is necessary for a legendary, the final cosmetic goal for weapons. If I ever go for the final of anything, I’ll make sure to do my research. Heck, even the wiki says to do map completion first. While I admit mapping can be difficult, but if your server is winning, you’ll probably flip the map at least once for that week. Just gotta pay attention.

A lot of these are good ideas, but there’s a problem. The changes to looks and voices would be awesome, but I think if ANet did anything like that, it would be a gem store thing. But then unbreakable armor and get skins for karma are just not good to me. The unbreakable armor would be awesome in fractals or a WvW train or something, but it makes the repair canister all but obsolete. And then why give rare skins for karma? Just make karma zergs way more common. Something ANet says they want to shy away from. I would love to be able to actually get the jet back or scythe skin or something for karma, I just don’t realistically see it happening. If ANet can get cash from it, you better believe they’re gonna get cash from it.

I wanna say like 13. It was rough. And then there’s the games you play against Caed and Ostrich Eggs and get blown out. Or when it’s 5v4, you’re the 5, and you still lose because no one understands how to rotate. And then I just kinda take a break because holy cow, I shouldn’t be matched against people that have gone to high-end tournaments. I’m a casual.

Containers within containers is a problem anet did kinda address with a Wintersday hotfix. But those bonus chests aren’t a big deal at all to me. One or two a level from WvW, one from PvP, and one from a world boss or dungeon.

Well, if you’re getting ascended armor because of the stat upgrade, don’t bother. If you do high end fractals, then you might want to hold off. But if I remember correctly, while assassins is the absolute best for engineer, berserker isn’t far off.

He’s currently being upgraded into a Mordestroyer.

Honestly, no. Unless for some reason it was within an hour of me. The only “big event” they could have would be PvP, and that would be about as exciting as any other tournament they’ve put out, which is not very exciting, at least to me. A WvW tournament? Ehhh. 3 different zergs playing for an hour or so trying to quickly cap? Ehhh. PvE? One big blog killing a boss? Ehhh. I just wouldn’t be too exciting about it. And I’d probably only watch the highlights reel, even if they were playing some new gamemode.

Wrong forum. And send a bug report. Or just spend another 25 badges because they’re easy to get.

I agree, but a mod is gonna merge them. I just struggled with the Snowden Drifts one. A lot of people were complaining about not being to tag because the events ended so quickly. It’s a common complaint.

Every class except Mesmer and Guardian have access to a permanent 25% speed boost.

Again, it’s WvW not PvP. If you don’t like your world save up your gold and switch.

That’s, like, your opinion, man. I don’t play Charr, but if I did the running on all fours would be the literal only reason.

Story modes aren’t meant to be replayed or anything. Do it once per character to unlock either the trait or be able to open explorable paths.

You mean axe? It’s a bouncing auto attack. Ranger pets are their mechanic, for better or for worse you’re stuck with them. Part of the reason I stopped playing my ranger.

I’m not saying a house wouldn’t be neat, but it’s so low on my list of wants, that I don’t care one way or the other if we get it.

A mount that gives like 50% move speed you get from a story quest or something would be neat. But there’s wp all over.

More events would be more dead events. Improve old events to make them useful/fun. And not just forced like collecting the crown pieces.

Why do we need a house? Give me a guild hall first.

Improve the current ranger pets to be viable in aoe without having to devote everything to it.

Why would I enter a dungeon from anywhere? Do I carry a personal way point machine with me?

Agree on making things more Norn and Charr friendly.

Why more aoe? Almost everything in this game hits at least 2 people. Do you want a sword that cleaves through everything it touches? A mace that somehow doesn’t get stopped after the first swing?

Why would a Charr run on 2 legs?

What do you mean regular spells in underwater?

A new dungeon would be nifty. But a level 10 dungeon might be boring. All enemies around level 10? Ehhhh.

The entire trait system should be reworked. Maybe not level 2, though.

It’s called WvW not PvP for a reason.

Logan’s even in a dungeon? Beyond story mode, of course. Also, when has he actually done anything useful?

You can use transmutation stones to change your look at any level.

And if this is an indication about your other ideas, I don’t want them.

I’m not saying there’s a thread on the front page by “Nokturnal Lunacy.3186” complaining about cheese builds, and this thread is from “Nocturnal Lunacy.8563” talking about “cheese build white knights.” And I’m definitely not saying there’s a connection to the two.

Keep your shovels, though. Come next patch, there might be another goodie in those chests.

What I’m gonna say is very loosely based on general nice player expectations.

1) Guilds expect different things. Your guild might have a website or a MotD that says what’s expected. Could be full rep, partial rep, daily dungeons, something like that.

2) If you’re gonna run a dungeon or a FotM or setting up a Teq or something, it’s generally better to invite guildmates before pugs because you generally know what you’re getting from guildmates. Plus, it shows your active with your guild, and you should enjoy doing stuff with said guild. Also, if you need to take a break or something, let an officer know in-game mail. You don’t wanna come back a week later and see you’ve been kicked for inactivity. Most guilds are very understanding of real life situations.

3) Ehhh. No. If a guild expects you to drop everything to join a dungeon run or anything, but you don’t want to, I personally wouldn’t be a part of that guild. But on the other hand, if you’re not busy and someone needs help killing a champ or something to get a skill point, speak up and offer to help. But again, it shouldn’t be expected for you to drop everything.

4) I actually don’t know what you’re talking about when you’re talking price. I’ve never been part of a guild that requires a weekly monetary price or anything like that. If someone says they’ll run a dungeon for you for a price, there’s at least 4 other people looking for that same dungeon. But if you have guildmates asking for money to run a dungeon with you, I would run from the guild.

Again, all personal views. Basically, just be polite. Say when you’re gonna start a dungeon, call out world bosses when they’re happening, say hi, start conversations, and just have fun.

I haven’t logged on yet for today’s dailies, but you had 2/3. I’m just going to assume one of the PvP ones was win or something like that, maybe capture a point or defend one, get some rank points. And then the WvW one could be cap a sentry or kill a yak or something. Also pretty ready. Hop onto EotM for the sentry or a BL for the yak. But again, I haven’t been on, don’t know what the dailies actually are. But that hour and a half you devoted to finding 4 events could’ve been devoted to 10 minutes in WvW or PvP. You did only need one for the actually daily.

It’s 200 gems which is 23g currently. That’s a tad over a full easy dungeon run. You said yourself they need to make money.

Just happened again.

I actually don’t understand what your problem is.

Wait, are kittens attacking you? That’s a pretty big bug. Definitely report that to ANet.

Every now and again, my key binds will be set to something different. I set stuff like the WvW tab, the BLTC, and the Guild tab to my num pad keys. I just logged in for the first time today, and those key binds are now set to use my skills, which are normally set to number 7, 8, 9, etc. So when I use the num pad to open up my Guild tab, which is num pad 5, it instead uses my skill 5. A way to bypass this is by setting my num pad skills using “alt + [number].” But then sometime later, maybe later tonight, maybe tomorrow, the key bindings will reset to let me use the num pad without having to press alt. Does anyone else run into this issue?

I got this message, too. Clicked no because I was already in a match, though.

Trying to run through Goemm’s Lab for the Monthly Jumping Puzzle, got the attunement for Windy, and went through the portal to take me to Stormy. Get sent to the beginning of the Windy again because I didn’t have the right attunement apparently. Go back through the starting portal to talk to the Golem, and he can send me to Stormy zone. Annoying glitch.

Happened again going from Chilly to Goemm’s Lab.

The fact that at least 2 collectibles come from this chain of events and ANet hasn’t done anything about it baffles me. Are they running from perfect servers when they create these? Can they share the perfect servers with the rest of the players?

Krypto.2069:

Hey brother, I don’t think you’ll get that message once you’ve gotten all the pets charmed. I haven’t see that charm message for ages.

If that’s true, then some people will get it forever because they won’t be able to get the 4 pets from GW1. It’s a glitch that should be looked at.

Please fix this madness. It’s impossible to join a group. And then you get blocked from joining a group for about an hour.

You can literally jump or attack or do anything other than walking, and it’ll go away.

The window stays open after you sold everything of whatever you were selling. This wasn’t the case pre-Tuesday patch. It’s annoying and another box you need to close. For power sellers or whatever, it could maybe come in handy, but then it should be an option not forced to use it. There was nothing about this new feature in the patch notes either.

Khisanth.2948:

It’s been broken for much longer than that.

I guess I really haven’t noticed because I had no reason to actually wait around for an event. It’s not like he gave needed item before the collectible patch.

I’m not noticing a difference. RNG man.

But that doesn’t fix Dobbs. He’s needed for another collectible. And that event chain has been broken since the entire collectible thing has been going on.

Just happened to me. Got caught in the area before the mini boss fight with the Asuran guy. Couldn’t do anything.

Wasn’t the reason they moved it from bleed to vuln to make it a more power based weapon instead of hybrid?

How can the class most commonly cited as “in a good place” albeit boring and unchanged even think about needing a nerf?
