Guild Wars 2

godlike.6417:

From what I understand Borlis Brawlers is an accumulation of BP’s best players coming together to hold hands. Why is BP talking kitten about a GVG where they needed their entire server to win?

So you’re saying we should not get our best players to GvG? And we don’t need our entire server to win ^^ we only need 15 – 20 out of our entire server to win.

The amount of kittens in Ebay is crazy…. We will see at the end of the week wether YB is holding ebay hands, cuz as of right now withouht YB holding ur hands ebay we are trashing u guys… jokers to the max, can u ebay kittens stop break ur server reputation? I used to enjoy fighting u guys but after that alliance, u guys are a bunch of kids that needs a mommy to hold ur hands.

And to say that this week is a break week when you guys dont have yaks bend with you is bullkitten… hardcore wvw guilds will never take a break. Srsly what a joke ebay …. what a joke. Face it you guys can’t vs BP withouht your mommy

What’s with the weapon skins being in black lion chests? I still rmb back in december where they put the christmas weapons as 800 gem in the gemstore. It’s bullkitten, i’m sick of being forced to gamble my rl money on these weapon skins… I don’t even…

I blame the NCSOFT

Time to nerf the thief then … HUZZAHH!

A jumping puzzle that doesnt make people angry is beyond easy. SO i expect a harder jumping puzzle

Alright so you’re saying u wanna get rid of the skilled zerg busting groups? rmb zergs can also get the mobile whatever siege. And its like ’ woooo lets make a zerg more powerfull.’
and it will be screwing good fights up

Ridiculously great and awesome in pvp/wvw average in pve nuff said

My buid this helps to survive a ton and still have great damage.Also i use the spirit to increase my damage more

u cant die in 2 sec unless ur a glass cannon. And i’m running the BM ranger build, it works very well for me even when i’m not as skilled as hardcore pvp/wvw players. But BM rangers have a decent amount of damage and survivability. If you’re running GC u should run with a zerg, but if u like to roam like me i would run BM ranger.

My weapons is axe/dagger + sword/torch what i do is that i throw all my conditions to him and let my pet do the damage . As for battling against warrior i learn to keep a safe amount of distance from him and let my pet deal the damage while i put conditions on him. and hundredblades will only hit up to 6-7k u can run gs too when ur immobolize to block. When u’r gank by 2 or 3 players always aim the char in which u think is the easiest to kill and someone who can nuke u down easily.

Story of the ranger when rangers are trying to get into a party. This community is becoming a joke. ANET i really hope that u make us useful but considering the new patch of yours… its still not delievering what rangers really want.

Tried it my team always gets wiped… not fun at all to me

Alright guys… im wondering if this build still works
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYUncgsRXK8
please let me know

And if this build is better than BM bunker build

Thank you and cheers :]

Run a BM build.
armour: Apothecary Helm/Legs + Shaman Shoulder/Chest/Foot/Pauldrons
My pet[jaguar] deal at most close to 4k damage
I deal about 600 damage XD with greatsword/sword + torch

To add on i can kill a lvl 80 ele guy in wvw with my pet withouht me dealing damage ^^

Awesomeeee…. but kitten the will nerf the pet damage so this build may not be so useful anymore heck i think they’re not gonna increase ranger’s damage. Its been how many months since this game came out, i don’t have faith that Anet would nerf ranger in a good way… This class is only good if u follow BM build[my opinion] so since they’re nerfing the pet damage this class will feel useless again. Really disappointed ._.

a pet eats a warrior face off? kitten man wth is happening with our class T_T its not the pet that eats a warrior its the opposite ._. freak…. losing hope in this class and Anet in nerfing ranger in a GOOD and BENEFICIAL way… instead of making us more useless…

and improve the damage of the ranger and lower the pet… so we won’t ‘akitten’ whatever Anet’s logic is… for goodness sake, i feel that they’re not even listening to the community ><

Bro, i completely agree with you 100% I really hope that Guild halls would be in GW2 it would be great to have like a way to interect with our fellow guild members instead on through the chat. and sometimes when we have a meeting we can assemble at the guild hall. It would be so cool to have that feature.
And i totally agree with the whole zerg vs zerg. It is so fustrating to see that a zerg with mostly low levels guys wipe a bunch of high level chars. There is really no skill there…
Party system- I hope for a queue system.

I also agree with the Personal Story. It is not even personal anymore when the leaf guy shows up. I want to be the boss not a worthless sidekick. I want to command people to either attack zhaitan or just leave it. I want to choose whether to defend claw island or just light up the towers and fall back to Lion’s arch. There is so much potential in making the lore the best, all it needs is just more time in thinking about ideas. I think that the developers rushed the story hence having less choices and personal story feeling. The ending is just ridiculous… We are a giant ship floating in the air and Zhaitan just fly around like a noob and dont even attack our ship… He just grab on the tower and let us shoot him. It is like ’ Take my Life!‘. I want to feel like im in a battlefield i want to catapult myself onto zhaitan’s back and freakin slice him to death. Again all it needs is just creative thinking.

Now one thing i would like to improve is the classes. I don’t feel important with whichever class i play. EVeryone is just going for Glass cannon. IAt least make a healer class… Ascalonian Catacombs dungeon is so ridiculous. Ranger traps does like 1-2k DAMAGE! wth! If my endurance is used im dead. Elementalist damage are ridiculous too. Not to mention Necromancer’s life steal. kitten bro the amount of damage this 3 guys can deal is so insane. There is no way i can don’t repair my armour in the middle of a dungeon.

Thanks for reading

Casey.9687:

I just don’t understand why they play around the truth like this….why can’t Jon Peters or any other dev get on here and give us a firm answer on why they continue to keep the nerf on it…Because they didn’t want us spamming 1 is a horrible excuse because we are still spamming 1 while other skills are on cd….they just made spamming 1 slower for no reason.

I also don’t understand… Dev should be replying to threads to clarify questions. Instead no, they just keeps on making the ranger so so so bad and not replying to people what are they doing… its ridiculous. I remember i saw a thread about the Longbow speed. Jon peter replied that they were going to make it faster. But i didn’t see it in the patch notes[Dec 14] It’s like a false promise wth… Longbow continues to suck with the skills on cooldown. I’m so kitten with ppl in the Anet team not replying to threads… It really speaks alot about the company.

Ursan.7846:

Me too. But Crossfire currently is so OP compared to the rest of our weapon skills. I’m suspecting that it was a “nerf” that they just refuse to admit.

No evidence of course. But sigh…

I heard that they nerfed the animation which leads to nerfing the speed of firing an arrow… this alone already gave me a bad impression of the company… They are just saying… ‘Sorry, you want us to fix the animation? Alright we’ll decrease the firing speed then. ’ And it’s not that crossfire is OP. Its the weapons that are UP

If you read the shortbow #1 skill they say that bleeding will only occur when ur at the side or at the back, you wont bleed him when he is at the front

Is Class change planned? I would appreciate an answer from Anet ty.

Alright, you’re just talking about PVE. In my opinion WVW + PVP is already worth 60 bucks. Judging by what you’re talking about is that u want to get stuff quick and easy. Now, MMORPG is a game that u have to work for stuff. Not freakin do some kitten once/twice and you get something amazing, no.

In my opinion this game is worth like twice its price! You’re just being close-minded. What i mean is that you focus on the grindy stuff and the stuff that u hate. Which leads to you forgetting about other stuff that GW2 have done well such as’ Exploration’ It is well polished, amazing. However the hearts are grindy, so that is one of the flaws about exploration. But if you think about all the positive things about GW2 , you will never say that this is a f2p game.

THE DOCTOR.3510:

It seems to be a good idea, but your talking about the viewpoint of your server, other servers could be doing PvE more, I think it depends on what server you’re on. Although it would be way more fun with lots of people.

Thanks for the reply, and regarding the server thingy. People really don’t know which server is PVE focused since there is no PVE focused server :p and ya all i want to see in gw2 is like freaking 100 people beating the crap out a a dragon!

Azure Prower.8701:

That is the wind that knocks you off. Just dodge roll (example given in this video @ 1:35).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sULAkDyd0Qk

Ahhh lol i never got pushed back by that kitten. And i ran this like 5 times

I don’t get knocked off by anything except for the snowballs what are u talking about?

Alright, this is a very serious suggestion.
From what i have heard, PVE is dead. Now before u start saying ‘Get out of here troll’ Read on please…

Dear Anet,
I would suggest that you take PVE out of servers. What i mean is that PVE should not be splitted into servers, because the world is too MASSIVE. Which brings me to the next point why is PVE is dead? The world is so massive that there are not enough players to do dynamic events and fill the map up. And it is VERY boring having to solo a TEAM-BASED MMO. It will be so much better to see people everywhere, doing dynamic events, vistas, skillpoints, etc.
Not to forget that there are tons of players doing fractals which lead to the World being dead. As most people reach level 80 and starts doing dungeons…

Now what will happen to WVW?
WVW stays the same. We will be in our servers when we travels to the whatever borderlands. But when we go back to PVE there are no servers. Everyone will literally be in a single ‘server’

PVP?
Same as PVE merge everything together. I see too many rooms empty.

Thank you Anet ^^ I really really hope that u will make this happen.

If the community have comments/disagreements/etc. Please reply below :]

Shortbow really really really needs a damage increase/cast time decreased. It’s so underpowered. But i totally agree with the sir who post this.

axelthesot.4103:

I appreciate the last few updates for Rangers (though they are definitely not all that is needed) especially because the greatsword (my favorite Ranger weapon) has received a couple buffs.

However, I’m really hoping you guys are continuing to look at this weapon as I find it just generally under performs in most situations. At the very least I think the auto attack needs to do a bit more damage and I’m not sure what’s happening but my swoop isn’t hitting anywhere near what the tool tip says it should be. The tool tip would lead me to believe that it’s base damage is higher than maul though maul always hits harder. Is this because the maul tool tip was never updated to reflect the new damage number? I think that swoop needs a little extra boost in the damage department if that’s the case.

More than anything: while I like my pets, they are far too unreliable in dungeons, W3, or sPvP. I think more of the damage needs to come from the Ranger.

I agree instead of the class ‘Ranger’ It’s like a beastmaster class where ur beast/pet does more damage :p… to me its so boring to see boring damage

Is there any PVE focus server? I am sick… so sick of soloing guild wars 2. By the way im in Asia GMT + 8 so its night/midnight ppl in the eastern. Let me know ty

Eva said: when you see a server FULL means that the people who’ve chosen that server as theirs, or players who have moved to that particular server, have reached the cap

How is that ambiguous? It’s the amount of people who have chosen that server as theirs, or have moved to that server, it’s reached its limit.

Explain why the servers keep dropping to high every morning in the early hours.

Dude face it it’s not about wether if it’s high/full, it depends on the amount of ppl u see in LA and places in Tyria

PowerCat.5738:

Server population is not players online at that time, it’s players registered to that server.

Yes, it’s full of accounts of people who aren’t playing.

You keep repeating this, in every thread, several times a day, but it is not true.

Otherwise how do you explain servers keep going down from full to heavy in the mornings, and back up again every evening?

People switch server. it’s still free, but you have to wait 7 days to do it again.

Do you really think there’s that many people playing at 8am on a tuesday?

I know there is.

I actually play in the mornings, and there’s always groups running and active WvW.

People are not transferring servers every day in the morning, and then back again in the evening. For obvious reasons, there is a 1 week cooldown.

Your obsession with trying to make everything think “full” servers are somehow empty is interesting.

Tin foil hat dude.

I actually agree with the others… Why would u think that there are so many ppl playing the game? I play the game solo most of the time… The maps are so empty. if there are alot of ppl I would see ppl doing dynamic events and i would go overflow most of the time. If u don’t feel that way i don’t know what’s wrong with u :p

GraynX.8947:

Try the Anvil Rock server.

I am clearing the map with my 80 and seeing people in every zone. I am leveling alts and seeing people in the low zones (some races are more popular then others). To be honest, we are mostly a PvE server. That means WvW hurts, but there are people there too (just not as many as we would like.)

Don’t believe the negative comments. This game is far from dying. Server transfers are free (for now), do a little shopping till you find a good one.

I’ll try that server, but if i don’t see any ppl, i am quitting this kitten :p

Log on… Go lion’s arch… see map chat. Everyone looking for fractals. Log off. Anet basically just destroyed their game… They promised NO grind! Yes, they said these are for the WoW Players. But Anet come on.. who come to gw2 just to grind stuff… the reason why gw2 is so hyped because Anet promised no grind and people think that it will revolutionise the feeling of mmorpg.

But NO! Exploration is so grindy… Hearts? Please the appearance is just different. They remove the numbers and add a bar instead. They remove the ‘!’ and put ‘<3’. I am extremely disappointed.

Grind in GW2:
Halloween Mad king’s dungeon
Normal Dungeons
Hearts

The only new thing is that we don’t get punished when we explore, and removal of the holy trinity. I wanted this game to be so so so so so good! Gosh… i think i really got my hopes up…

And to all those fan boys who are saying ’ if you hate the game why u still come to the forums?’ It is because i really want Anet to announce that they screwed up and come up with a update that will bring me back to gw2… Hopefully christmas will be good. If they add another dungeon… I WILL BE PISSED TO THE MAX! Another Grind added to the list.

To summarise… Everyone wants to grind stuff, most ppl dont bother to explore and i feel u bro… I would rather play skyrim if i have to solo gw2…

Iruwen.3164:

Threads opened just for the sake of complaining… and so on. This one won’t last long.

PS: I don’t agree.

Not complaining, i’m actually serious.. And You didnt even explain why u don’t agree… And im just trying to voice out my opinion and gather some feedbacks, and please read the topic man. ‘MY OPINION’ not ‘MY COMPLAINS’

‘You have those options, simply don’t do hearts. Pretty easy.’
Its part of exploration… thats the problem i have to do it to get 100% completion… Please think before u post…

bojangles.6912:

Amazing story? Sorry but have to disagree with you there. The storyline is a failed attempt at trying to be like ToR’s storyline. I found myself skipping a lot of it because it was boring (the talking party).

Agree with you on other things but for me this game is incredibly boring and very repetitive and a lot of grinding for an advertised “non-grind game”. This game failed. People were touting this game to be the God of mmo’s and show revolutionary and ground breaking new things. Well it was none of this and nothing new and exciting. For a pvp based game the pvp is a joke and they seem to try add more pve instead.

Their questing system is horrible. Not everyone wants to farm mats and craft for XP and waiting to pvp for xp is a joke as well. You have to farm events in the zone to level. I cleared the 1-17 level zone when I started well under the level I should be to where I couldn’t advance unless I wanted to get carried. So I had to leave the whole area and go to a new starter zone to just catch up. I shouldn’t have to. WoW, ToR, Rift, Tera, Warhammer, LotR, etc. I never had to do that and was always at the appropriate level or higher.

ANet already lied to everyone flat out as well. If I wanted weapon progression I would play WoW or ToR which is by far way better at pve end game then GW2. I came for the pvp even though I am a pve player, but wanted a game to have some fun pvp and see how it went. PvP is horrible here. SWG had better and more fun pvp and all it was, was open world pvp. But it was a blast. Heck even WoW’s pvp is better and more competitive.

Horrible game. Only good things are they graphics/world is amazing and it is free monthly for everyone.

Wow, so u basically hate the whole game XD except for the world. Well idk maybe it depends of preferance, i find the story awesome. The thing i’m enjoying now is WvW I dont want to grind dungeons XD

Now this is just my opinion. Please do not show hate but share your opinion with me :]
Just bought the game last month so ya this is so late :p

First of all: EXPLORATION
Exploration awards you and doesn’t punishes you. I have to say this is new and a good idea. But why are Hearts are included? I don’t understand why. It’s called ‘Exploration’ for a reason. It is not doing Hearts over and over again. I expected Freedom, i should have 2 options. Either I explore the world and walk around or go and do hearts.

Second: Dungeons
Why? This is such a bad idea. Why must i grind the same dungeon to get my armors? It’s ridiculous. 4 – 5 runs for a piece of armor? It easily becomes repetitive

Thridly: The armors.
I don’t know if ArenaNet got lazy on this part or it was just kicked away as a unimportant thing. Lvl 1 – 34 Dull Armours . Lv 35 – 69 Meh Armours Lv 70 – 80 Cool Stuff. Why is it that lvl 70 – 80 then i get cool armours? By the way i use heavy armour. I hated the helmets in this game… LV 1 – 69 its the same…

Okay now the personal storyline.
It is cool. It really blows my mind how amazing the story is. Good job on that.

Tell me ur opinions. And if u agree, leave it as a reply, also tell me how u feel about GW2. Is it the game u are going to play for years, or it’s just another game.

XENus.6931:

here are the main issues,
PVE!
1. Too paperish… When i got ganked by just 2 monsters, I will just get instantly DESTROYED, which make melee hard. I’m suppose to be an Assassin not a guy who uses a shortbow/ dual pistol sitting at the corner shooting people. I can dodge but what if my endurance level is low, i cant do anything.

2. The pistol skills are too underpowered. The 3rd skill is epic. But the 1st,2nd, and 4th skill just does not do exptected damage.

3.Not much AOE skills, if i do not have a shortbow in my hands, i just get destroyed by 2 mobs. And I suggest that Dagger Main Hand’s 1st skill should be able to damage multiple mobs, except for the last animation.

4.Sword/Dagger. Its so ridiculous how much damage this combination do. The only good skill in my opinion is the 1st and 4th skill thats it. I suggest that u change the 3rd skill, making it balance with the other weapons, so it won’t be underrated.

5. Overall the thief is EXTREMELY underpowered in PVE. Useless in dungeons. Not able to deal enough damage. Classes like elementalist, guardian,warrior,ranger can easily dominate thief. Yes warrior and guardian are op, but look at this.
Guardian/Warrior – Heavy Armor/Big Damage/Able to survive
Elementalist- LA/Insane Damage/Glass Cannon
Ranger- MA/Reasonable damage/Have a pet to tank.
Thief – MA/Awful damage/Die alot
So i would rather play the classes listed above than thief.

Thanks Anet for reading this. I hope that u would really make this class balanced and not underpowered. This class really have potential. Really wanted to play this class, as i wanna be an assassin but unfortunately this class is so underpowered in PVE.

Hi, I don´t feel underpowered in PvE as you´ve described, not nearly as that.
Can you please post your build/equipment so we can look at it and maybe help with your performance?

10/30/30 i cant survive ._. i always get owned with 2 monsters
And sry i said that thief does awful damage is the S/D and P/P weapon combination. And i agree that its not underpowered if classes like Warrior is balanced if not its underpowered

Being a warrior… i hate the sword animation. Its so insulting for me because i love dual weilding. Who in the right mind would use a sword like that… slice to the left with the right hand then go to right then stab the middle… The animation is so awkward. I have no choice but to use the axe…
