Guild Wars 2

I only received one letter from Blaine, and I finished everything in LD within the first week of release. Did you trigger the second letter somehow or did it just pop in your mail box?

It annoys people when a player dc’s because in most cases it costs them the game. I understand your situation, power goes out sometimes, we can’t control that. I think it’s different if your internet connection sucks though. If it snaps out a lot, then you are making the choice to antagonize other players just because you’re determined to play. You not only frustrate yourself if you have this problem, but also others. That’s why people can be very rude without wanting to consider the possibility that you had a sudden power outage. It’s alright, just move on. It’s just a game!

You see a portal? Lay your traps and wells. From that point on, you know to change your strategy if it’s really an issue. Yes Mesmer can be annoying, but if you’re having that much trouble, you should train with a good Mesmer user. Learn from that. You want to know where they are? Watch the one that moves the most. Too many clones? You can easily get rid of them before most mesmers can shatter them on you. Don’t spam your skills in a panic if that’s an issue. Learn from the fights. Everyone in this game complains about most classes every season. Duel with each other, this helps.

The funny thing is if you watch Helseths stream he often does duels with other pro players to get better. Even then he’s heavily reliant on Moa to get the kill if he can at all, if he fat fingers a button in continuum split then he’s not much of a threat for the next 72s until it’s back up. Takes a while and a fair bit of set up for condi mesmer to kill anything on equal skill now and the necessity of moa just shows mesmer isn’t that strong.

I mean, let’s be honest here, how many times have you seen a genuinely useful mesmer on ranked? I think on my team once and on the enemy team maybe once I can remember. Rest of the time they keep jumping into team fights with gravity well against a DH and 2 eternal champion warriors.

Not sure i did the reply thing right

I have dueled with great mesmer users, and Helseth isn’t the only great one, he’s just advertised the most if you will.

Most players using any class that isn’t their main will end up trying to do what you described. I tend to use moa if im waiting for my skills from cd (the ones i need only) or if foe team players are putting too much pressure i’ll moa one then another and let someone else with the best cleave to do their thing if that’s the best strat for that moment. Moa should be treated as situational. Gravity well, wells in general are dumb in pvp, for me. It’s so easy to walk out of or use a blink (or any skill that lets one get out of it) to get out of Gravity well for example. It’s useful when in a fray because if you aren’t focused, it will give moment for your team to recover. Situational. It’s no wonder people have been using moa instead. And even then, Moa is avoidable, as others have stated.

As for ranked mesmers; in my experience, i’ve seen a decent number of good mesmers. Some scary ones that obliterate. And yeah, there are also mesmer users who definitely need to practice more. So honestly, faceroll is bs. Again, that’s skill. Mesmers are squishy, that’s why you have to be annoying af with the class. Same with a good thief. They can destroy you in an instant if that player knows when to come in and do their thing. Or a revenant, and hey now, yeah they are lacking, but i’ve met a scary af rev this season. O__O nearly one shots or eats them up in a couple seconds. Terrifying lol. SURPRISE MOFO!

I can’t get past the character select screen after the soulbound bug issue was fixed. Wondering if this is also what you are experiencing. I want to play!

That’s how I feel with Mesmer. I really hope Anet fixes all classes that need it and finds a way to bring at least some balance. I don’t disregard necros either they are a good class.

I agree with Pepsi on how laughable chrono is. I don’t agree on nerfing alacrity because the way I deal with the amount of cc is dealt to me if I run chrono bunker, I need the alacrity to get out of play if need be, or use it to survive as long as I can before my teammates can do anything. A chrono bunker lacks what an ele has and it’s the amount of cleanse and stability. A chrono does less damage than an ele bunker. There are some fun builds for chrono, but for PvP I find bunker is the only thing viable that contributes to a team. Condi is a joke, most you will do is troll for a bit since your damage does next to nothing unless you could stack burning like an ele can or burn guar (just example). Shatter isn’t good enough against massive heals. I feel ele can do better burst damage than shatter mes. They just do more damage if I’m comparing a more power oriented build. It’s not right that both classes are bored and don’t feel they can play anything else most of the time.

Tempest is definitely stronger. Better sustain, and they hit harder than chrono tank. Even though it would be a slow fight, it’s a lot harder to break a tempest unless you send a class with a build to melt them.

Oh thanks! I’ll try that!

On occasion, my character’s ability to move is halted for a period of time. I can still use my utilities, but even utilities such as blink or teleport don’t break me out. Sometimes I’m stuck for almost a minute. I don’t want to let teammates down because if this. Some friends have also experienced this issue, and I’m wondering if anyone else does too.

This sometimes happens in PvE as well.

Lately, whether in PvE or PvP my character’s ability to walk is halted. I can’t get out of it for nearly a minute, even though I use teleports or blink away. Sometimes I have to restart the game. I asked some friends if they have experienced the same thing, and some have said it does happen on occasion. It’s frustrating during a raid or PvP. I don’t want to let teammates down.

I would use a screenshot but how can I prove it when it’s a still? I took one just in case you need it anyway.

I’m using 64bit but it doesn’t make a difference involving character movement bug.

Any possible explanation?

I think it’s funny people think a Mesmer shouldn’t do what other classes do…should I ask DH to not be a ranger and trapper then? Complain all you want, but use the right build and you can destroy a chrono bunker almost instantly. Just do research. I’m chrono bunker. Honestly it’s about the only thing good enough for PvP atm. I can still use my old pu build and power, but it doesn’t contribute as well as bunker for my team.

I still play with a friend who’s warrior. I helped him find what could work and he added his own touch to it. He’s really good at it and enjoys it. Warriors aren’t dead. Just like how thieves aren’t either. Even with other “op” metas, there are ways to counter them. You just need to rework your build. New metas always come.

I disagree about chronobunker needing a nerf. It’s very easy to counter solo or 1v2 when you use counter builds and loads of aoe cc. i more and more teams using this against it lol. just gotta use counter builds.

This week during any events I play in the new maps my game shuts down on me or freezes and my computer so I have to use the esc keys. I’ve encountered this problem three times already. I couldn’t report the issue the first 2 times because my computer froze. I managed to report to ante today though.

And for some reason, not sure if this is a bug or if I’m the only one or not, filling my gold bar for masteries takes so long. I can spend up to 5 hours and only fill 3/4 of my bar and I’m only level 11. Sometimes it takes longer. I’m using food buffs, utility buffs, an ascended amulet with exp infusion, and an exp boost. It gives me 90% exp boost, yet so little exp is earned within these five hours. Shouldn’t I be getting more than that? Even my friend who’s level 37 levels his bar faster than me and he only uses one food buff sometimes.

I found the issue! The driver wasn’t properly installed at all. I missed a step and thought it was installed lol. I’m sorry everyone! Thank you for the tips though! I was able to find stereoscopic and re-install directx 9 as well, as i still needed it to play gw for some reason. I guess 11 will be for higher end games? lol such noob I dunno.

and this is what i have as my system

I’m sorry i don’t know how to check if i have stereoscopic 3D activated or not.

Here are screenshots I took. I can sign into GW at least, but that’s it.

Sorry! I can post screenshots tonight after work, of the issues and also what my computer has installed. I hope it will be more helpful!

I have installed a directx11 as well as a higher end video driver. Yet even after I also installed directx9, which gw troubleshoot suggested, I still can’t play the game. Anyone have any ideas?
