Guild Wars 2

Thank you! That’s so helpful! For every one of us with crappy small keyboards
who have being competitive with the right use of mouse , i will speak. Thank you for your wisdom!

Is there a way to disable the hints that appear when the mouse is hovering above the skills?
I found it very annoying.

I really doubt that there will be a skill or class able to be invisible and still capturing and attacking… Bug or Hack for sure ^^ ( if you are just sarcastic then forget my reply :P )

I think svarnir and chieftain are buffed as well!

I love the new mode!!! BUT i think the map is not suitable for this… i don’t know guys…
i feel like the map is too small and do not promote good fights :/

I have simpler wishes , like that i want my skills to work properly when i’m clicking them
while imob.
So frustrating to think that the skill is fired and in actuality it is not

PLEASE make chill effects RTL please make cripple affect it too, but give us the original cooldown of 15 secs. PLEASE!

You are asking for something that we ask for the last millennium.
A simple button which will load a predefined build. GW1 had a feature like that and it was super convenient.
BUT apparently its so hard to implemented that we will wait for
the next 2000 years. At least. I hope the elder dragons will have not destroy the world until then.

I know thieves can move their location up to two times.

From my experience thieves cant be stomp ( except you are willing to chase them around ) dps them to death. Its weird that this thief let you to stomp him… out of boredom i guess :P

Yap 200+ tourns in this map was all 5v4

Just for saying, in the old meta when i was actually enjoyed to play tourns, the most
successful strategy in forest was the following,
1 home, 1 mid, 2 bursting super fast npc and 1 for stealing the enemy npc.
after npc dead 3 were in mid. If you are fast and good the creature is dead, maybe a lucky npc steal or far decap and you are in time to help your bunker at mid.
True story

God im sooo sad…

I have an idea, why OP don’t you go play a full zerker elementalist and
tell me how much skill do you need to survive… oh! its rng, so 50% of the times
you must win right? right ?

Serious now, Xeph has very good points. Yours from the other hand, exists only for
supporting your opinion, and they are not objective at all.
I can understand the rng thing that you are saying. Yes there is an rng factor, BUT this is an element of the game.
A random lag, a random dodge a random blind, a miss click. Truly i cannot
understand how do you have extract this opinions of yours, there is not a solid base at all.
I have play as an ele and necro tanky builds and ( more ) zerker builds. The later
requires EXTREMELY more skill for surviving , deliver your damage and help the team.
And your examples is from another game or world or something like that. OR
the players are gods or completely idiots.
And for the last, the zerker players does not need “luck” for winning at all. They need
3x times more skill. Luck can help to not die when you are ready to. But this is
a small chance that applies to anyone in the game. My guess? Someone insta killed you
and you thought "kitten this @#%% lucky kitten, if his attack didn’t crit ( even when he has lost every survivability to have this 80% crit damage ) i would have won… lets make a theory about it and troll eehhmmm… post it to forums. " That’s the vibe i’m getting

OK not perma stability just 2 days 15 hours 3mins 10 secs….

but seriously i have seen warriors with crazy stability uptime.

Incurafy.6329:

I love it when people with zero knowledge of programming/software engineering make statements about how easy something is to code, lol.

wat r u taking aboot dude… look:

[code]
if games_is_ready tehn
make_a_suound
[/code]

see??? two lines nub

/sarcasm

Nevertheless to put a sound effect when the window open its ridiculously easy if your
code is not a messed up spaggeti thing.
Its LITERALLY 1 line of code if your code its good organized.
I have sympathy for the devs too, heck, i can’t write a program with a few thousand lines with out a million bugs. BUT lets not overprotecting them.
Yes some bug fixing or additions is ridiculous easy to do. I have the suspicion than
ether they don’t care or the code is so mixed up that they need hours and hours for
the simplest thing. Not our fault. Their’s.

I like this game too, BUT i will not buy an expansion ( the only way to spent money on GW because im playing only pvp.)
I feel like i’m not “important” enough, like the game “does not care” about me.
The ridiculous bugs that i’m encountering every day, the weird lags that i have frequently ( when with a tracert in anet servers i have max 100ms ping !! ), the monotony of playing the same mode again and again,
the incredible cheesy builds that make my experience poorer ( and frustrating ).
I really liked this game and i still do but when wild star is out i will give it a try and if
its good, i will not play GW2 again.
That is not QQ its my opinion as a customer and a romantic too who sees his dream crumble! :P

No it was only confusion and ticked while in mist form.
I was still because i wanted to see why i were dying so fast
( i had died like this 1 more time in the same match ) , i had and bleeding but 1-2 stacks not so much to eat 7K of health . I will try to test it more.

And one more note, mist form and vapor form some times let you feared,
while in it. I had this problem more than once . ( Mist form is a stun breaker so its not
possible to have this condi from before. )

Guys sorry if this is something well known, but i just noticed it.
If i have confusion and pop mist form, the confusion its sapping my
health even if i’m staying perfectly.

Can anyone confirm this ?

hahahahhah Deimos you are killing me!!!

what about a lava themed map?

instead of falling to their doom, what if they fell into hot lava instead?
they would suffer burning and cripple, but they still have some chance to crawl out of the burning hot lava if they try.

I’ts so hilarious that i almost spited my drink xD ( you were kidding right ? O_o )

sorry, i was too casual back in guild wars 1, did not have a chance to see all other types of guild halls besides my own.

Too casual? more than now? more than now is so casual as just watching the game :P:P

( just teasing you :P )

I LOVE A GOOD ENDING TO AN ARGUMENT xD teeheee

I’m playing as an elementalist and rarely as power necro never an easy cheesy or bugged build. That’s just for clarifying.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read my whole post before you answer or
try to understanding it first .

Cheating ? what we are talking about is completely within the user agreement of anet, you considering it cheating doesn’t make it cheating.

I was speaking only for ACTUAL CHEATING OR EXPLOITING ( you know what i mean
i don’t want to enumerate the various exploits ) that’s not in the user agreement. I never said anything about pillars, LOS etc.

Why exactly would playing to win be a wrong thing ?

Where i said that its wrong to play for the win? Please tell me how you
reach this conclusion from my post. Really. How. I said that if you play ONLY
for empty wins ( not by skill, strategy, or good coordination ) and with
practically not any reward then you must be a sad person
( because you draw pleasure from…what? A chest in your screen ? ). If you still cannot
understand what i’m saying here, then please don’t try it. Obviously
we do not share the same opinion and our logic is incompatible

I am pretty sure you yourself would prefeire winning as a warrior rather then loosing as a mesmer, yet you are here ready to judge others who do the same.

Yet again you are jumping to conclusions AND you try to emulate my psych … well
i do not prefer a win that i do not deserve at all. I hate it , i feel like an uselles
person and i want to win with my power because THATS THE WAY I FEEL.
And i never judge anyone. Were i did that? In the EXAMPLE about right and wrong?
I just stated how I feel about it.
And i will tell you something to think about. Why do you created this post? To fight
hypocrisy ? Try to read aloud your post, from my perspective its full of defensive tones
and a try to force your opinion to others. But rest assured i will not create a post
with a title “So many dishonorable players… banned them all” for i think they
are hypocrites.

( sry for my long posts i saw this as an opportunity to remember my English :P )

@Xaos who are you kidding ? if people really wanted to show how skilled they are you wouldn’t see lame builds all over the place, people want to win for the sake of winning.

And i’m answering again … THIS IS JUST SAD.
What is that you don’t understand ?
I know perfectly well that people do that. but not all the people, the young ones OR the sad ones. The

When you are winning by an exploit or a bug or by attacking before ready in a DUEL server then you feel what ? The "F….ck YEAAA im useless and i cant win if i fight fair because lets face it i’m inferior and i have not the common decency to try to be better " emotion?

part of my response didn’t say that people don’t do this, but that people that do this are sad FROM MY PERSPECTIVE. Because a win in a game via cheating will give you
nothing, except empty satisfaction aka…. SAD !
I hope its clear now :P

And in case that you are trying to say “Well a heckload of people play that way and i’m
proud to join them” then i’m commenting you for your honesty, but don’t try to make excuses for your self or to justify it because a wrong think is WRONG even if the whole
world keeps doing it.

And as about lame builds, YES its irritating, i have had never try one, but i cannot tell the
others to not play it, because is in the game rules and because some people just don’t have
the same reflexes or even keyboards and mice. So easy builds is the only thing that
can play for enjoying the game. ( the abusers of this builds is another matter )

peace

There is a little issue… in real life winning some times is mandatory for ( as an example ) survival , gaining some wealth or for other reasons into the physical realm, so you absolutely must win even with underhanded tactics .

In a game like this winning means that you are GOOD in THIS game.
That you have reflexes, a brain for strategy, coordination or all of this.

Winning is purely for emotional satisfaction and nothing “real” can be achieved by it. This means that when you winning inside the rules ( the game rules not the fictional rules that some people have into their heads ) you are feeling an emotion like “kitten yeaaaa!!! im trully awesome in this!!”

When you are winning by an exploit or a bug or by attacking before ready in a DUEL server then you feel what ? The "F….ck YEAAA im useless and i cant win if i fight fair because lets face it i’m inferior and i have not the common decency to try to be better " emotion?
If that’s ok with you then ok. But you know… its just sad
( sorry for my bad English )

The thing here i suppose , is that when the skill lands you cannot leave the area, even if you use a stun breaker because the stun will immediately reapplied. In this situation
usually , i pop up stability or lighting flash away. If this two is on cool down im #$^^#
because in this time frame with 1800 armor im as good as toast

This is actually hilarious!!

Ehm … maybe you re not a troll ( that is very unlikely :P ) but you are obsessed with
warr and you have not any logic behind what you support (most of the times) , or you have not the right communication tools to express it ( i doubt that ) . For example , if you want to support the idea of blind not affect aoe-ish abilities then start an argument about THAT .
Not about a specific class ability which is at least a bad example. I will give you a good example. Ele earthquake. ele churning earth. The big engi bomb. This skills is truly ridiculous to miss because of a blind.
BUT no one has ever made a thread for any of this skills QQing about blind. So in OUR perspective you are a troll And now i will say something that it will make you be satisfied: From a CASUAL perspective like yours there is not a problem if your “fear me” missed one or two times, after all is a casual game ! Its not like you will lose rating or anything

OMG!

Eles have got time travel…there totally out of control!

Nerf them…nerf them NOW!

hahahahahahhahhah xD

All is vain!
(trolololololol :P)

Deimos now you are trying trolling other threads too ?? Stay on topic for once pleasseee!

Happy new yearr!!! Please Don’t feed the troll maybe you will lose an arm.

I have some issues with getting stuck after a disable or immobilize. I don’t know how ( what circumstances must be met ) but some times i’m stuck and i have no way to un-stuck. In one situation i had to log of in the middle of the game ( team arena ) and relogg because i had not any other way to keep playing ( except died )

^ I had propose something like this before in the suggestions, native capturing,
only data and an external player or an add on in a browser to play this .
No sensible discussion from players no a response of course from ANET!

We are stuck with third party programs that you must buy for full
functionality , large video file size, crappy quality and reduced fps when play.

This is a weird world

Doesn’t really prove anything. Good job though.

Yes it does , that we are not dead weight. A person that it is dead weight will
never even MAKE it in to the leaderboards because no 4v5 team can win.

I my self go around 600 – 90% i am not so good but in a fight i didn’t die instantly, and
i can do pretty good damage with my s/f.
Ele is good. But a player must be good for playing this class. Yes we have serious problems but if our teammates are not idiots , know how to play and they don’t insult us lowering the moral, then we are very valuable to the team

From a Tpvp perspective :

When i meet a necro i immediately start to burst him , i pop Armor of Earth for negate his fear and i’m praying for not having corrupt boons ,
after that some dodges like a lunatic, pop my invulnerability of earth focus ,
burst him some more, arcane shield , ether renewal, dodge and burst some more and i have a good chance of down him and stomp him with mist form.

If the necro is more than decent, has full or near full DS , if i miss a good dodge or a corrupt boon is successful… well you know… i’m screwed.
for my experience for Tpvp, zerker builds with the above utils make you have a chance
of winning. I love the times when i’m stomping a heavy condi build, but its truly a hard thing to do xD

Actually maybe the stealth mechanic in wild star is not so OP.
The developers had the common sense to make the grass move in a way that you can understand that a stealthed player is step in it!

In the old days when soloQ was a dream and we all have been queued to the teamque,
i was going for the far point and there was a engi that it was impossible for me to kill and he was killed me easy, so i speaked to the team chat and got one of my teammates with me. We killed the engi and we caped the point.
After that we decided to keep the far point. The engi came and died , and then came again and died, and then died some more. When the game was over with our win, i received a whisper, this is more or less the conversation:

him -“If you do this again i will report you”
me-“ehh… what ?”
him-“i will report you if you do this again”
me-“ehh.. what do you mean to kill you ?”
him-“you have your buddies from my team go another point so you killed me”
me-“wha.. how.. how im supposed to know your teammates ?”
him-“don’t lie i know that you did it and if you do it again i will report you”
me-"ehm.. its not my fault that your teammates didn’t try to help you… you ping in the map or you speaked in the team chat? "
him-"I’M RANK 40 DUDE I CAN’T DIE!! "
me-“ehm.. im rank 40 too :/”

and that was the end of this little horror story! :P

Deimos Tel Arin

Please don’t misunderstand me i really like your casual-ty ( this is not a word i know xD ) and your posting style, but i’m keeping an eye of the threads and you as a casual player you don’t have the right attitude.

If you are a casual then you must say things like “I like the XYZ ability because… i dont know if it is OP or not but…” you know what i mean?

On the contrary your attitude is like “The XYZ ability is not OP because ( insert absurd claims )” So you feel like trolishhhhhh :P

Keep in mind that the pvp rank and the rating in the leaderboards is a different thing

Ele because it is fun, quick and you are a force of nature :P

Valentin.2073:

spirits need larger HP pools to survive those aoe’s spammed by staff eles in tourneys.

I agree with this. Spirits die way too easily. It’s not just staff eles but also necro overpowered aoe and lagnade spam engineers.

For keeping the tradition you started LTP

And staff eles ? really ??? teeeheeeeee :P

And as for the elites, you have right an elite must be “game changing”
please give me one of the same caliber as yours and i will be happy
you will pop your elite i will pop mine and we will be OP together!

Valentin

oh MM and warriors counter spirit rangers really well! All the other go 2#$@# NOOBS :P:P

I’m sorry but this type of comments its very insulting when as ele i’m working my butt off to weaken an spirit ranger and then he summons his elite and is in god mode!

Personally i have no problem with spirit rangers except when they use the elite spirit. BUT i can see that a spec like this is easy mode. No that there is not other easy -er mode classes and/or builds but please be honest guys!

I’m playing an ele, skyhammer is not so bad by itself, but the BUGS that that map have is the least annoying.
Its true that if you are veeeeryyy carefull with your position and you are in an 1v1 situation, even if you have not a cheese knockdown / throw / pull / build you can be decent.
BUT if you have a 0.5 sec lag, if one of the panels bugged or something else buggs then you are screwed. In one time a thief ( i think it was scorpion wire ) pull me, i was launched to the air and the thief with me, i was landed safely and the thief died ! It was a proud moment for me but a very bad moment for the game

I have experienced a similar issue, when im pushing a skill with the mouse ,
the skill is light up but never fire. Its very frustrating ! xD

I main an elementalist and im playing necro in tourns for a while now… DS is superb.
Mist form? Really? You compare an 75 sec skill than its useful only for avoiding damage for 3 sec with DS ?
I agree obsidian flesh is another mater but has a 50 sec cooldown and it is a weapon skill.
When i switch to my ele from necro i feel like a kitten, and i’m playing power necro with crit damage. No the faceroll condi.
Try play an ele and take both from the above skills and then tell me how many times you survive and how useful you were to your team.
In another matter, DS has some problems, the most annoying one is the lag that you have in your utils after DS. They don’t show for a couple of seconds. If you dodgeroll after the DS though they appear ok xD

WOW… there is some people here with some serious lack of humor!!!
+1 OP

Thank you! Never believed I’ll get this so prestige reward (secretly wiping a tear). I want also to thank my family for being so patient with me, the community for supporting me when felt depressed, my friends for providing me unlimited amounts of coffe, and my aunt Emma for all the cookies!

hahahahahahha xD

I don’t know why invul from focus is cheese :/ You care to elaborate ?

Guys, its simple , go play an ele fresh air and then come and tell me how good you were. When you will miss the initial burst ( that you will ) and you have 0 utils to escape or do something useful the war/necro/xxx class will just sneeze at you and you will die from pneumonia.
As Neuromancer says the instant arcane utils are the problem. ( for me is not actually i’m a zerker ele and i have died only once from the initial burst of a fresh air ele and that was because i didn’t see him coming and i was already low in health).
I dont know why you guys have started the QQ about diamond skin before the skill is tested in ACTUAL fights. Yes yes passive play sucks, i know this well because as an ele i’m the victim of this. But why NOW you all must try to correct the world because some MINOR (for my opinion) buffs comes to ele whilst the passive necro/war/ranger etc play is on its peak months now is very strange. For short : Cut the drama. We will see when the actual skill is live. And an advice to all … DROP the rabid amulet and adapt if you can’t eat 1500 of the health of an ele. I adapted when this horrible meta came.
Peace!

Mist form originally didn’t locked you out from your utilities, it was designed for defense but for offense too ( if you had an offensive util ). After the constant QQ that made the ele the class that it is today, mist form being nerfed to the ground. So elementalist can’t stomp safely except with armor of earth ( which if i’m not mistaken the stability of it can be corrupted or removed ) Obsidian flesh IF you have a focus and Mist form. If you can’t stomp in mist form then is better do delete this skill and give us an endure pain like skill, at least we will have our spells. And i’m pretty sure that mist form is not a problem when thieves can teleport stomp you, and stealth stomp you or mesmer portal stomp you as an example.

I was laughing sooo hard until the moment i realized that this is all true…
I main an ele by the way :P
