Guild Wars 2

I already posted it in the mesmer forum:
Hey,
playing a lot chrono nowadays in the raid and so i was today in w4 and had a strange Feeling.
Something was wrong. I Play Illusion, Inspiration and chrono.
The recharge of the CS feels different and i checked and it doesnt get affected by the minor trait in the Illusion trait line.
All other shatter skills F1-F4 seem fine.

Can anyone confirm this bug?
edit: when you leave the CS by yourself (pressing the key) cooldown is correct, if it expires it is wrong. That’s what i noticed with a friend.

Thanks in advance.

Hey Lindsey,

let’s start with the annoying Things.
Maybe is it first possible, that you sort the bank? I mean kittens blood for example great placed. Low Tier at top high Tier at the bottom, but where is t6? It’s not below t5 it is next to it, what doesn’t make any sense.

I am really not happy with These changes.
I thought you would now nerf Epidemic, but it looks like you gonna kill the Revenant.
I run a commander’s chrono, but i’m really not sure if i continue. It was really expensive for me to gear him up, and it makes me feel totally kittened.

The build diversity which we have for now is great, exept for the Engineer (just W1, just Condi, no elite spec) and thief maybe.
I see that in the near future the raid will look like: 2 PS warriors, 2 Druids, 2 Chrono, 4 Tempests
I really dislike it, if it will be in this kind of way.

SoI doesn’t feel unbalanced, i guess it was three years good, but now oh hell no! facepalm
The rev with his really low base dps, who has his spot just for boon Duration and cc will loose it. really really bad changes.

(btw i just Play pve and pvp, no wvwvw)

I tell you something:
Warriors are fine, Guardians are not! :-)
You see a lot of Warriors in PVP, in ALL!! raidgroups for banners, might, cc or condi (since i don’t play wvwvw i can’t argue) they are in wvw.
Guardians are not in raids, or just for one or two bosses like Matthias or Sloth. In PVP i don’t know a lot of people playing guard in high ranks.
Guardian is not viable.
————————
That was offtopic.

The point the OP does:
When you nerf some things, don’t do it for the whole content. It not just unfair, it’s pointless ‘cause you use a different style of your play.
There are a few classes that shine in all cases, a few that shine in one or two situations and then there are some classes like engineer & guard which don’t have a place in general.

Hey guys,

i don’t know how to start this properly.
But i’m right now in the twisted Castle (cleared w3) but i can’t reach one chest. The one at the beginning of the twisted Castle.

I am commander, i tagged it up but i can not reach it, i really tried all techniques.

I don’t know last week or two weeks ago when you “go back to checkpoint” you were ported in the air and could easily glide towards the chest.

Now there are two locked doors and no ability for me to enter it.

For some clarification:

I talk about the heart marked chest.

Can anyone help me?

Thx.

I’m mean in a lot of ways.
I play the guard / DH as my main.
The DPS meter shows me that i have around 8-11k dps if i get my rotation right in the raid, a friend of mine as warrior has around 10-11k.
I mean the dps is ok, but i am so squishy. One hit and i’m down, i have a rotation with symbol f1 ability my elite shout, the trap and so on which is medium easy/hard. he just spams greatsword.

So the dps is ok’ish for me, could be a bit higher (i use GS – bow)

But in pvp the guard is just viable as a dps prop. one or two hits and i’m down and fast finished. normally the dh is target no 1.
When anet nerfs the traps i mean the mediburst guard could be viable but it needs buffs, and in pve we need adjustments.
i dont like the spirit weapons but they could get buffed and also our shouts (the elite maybe gets alacrity), lets get stack aegis with “retreat” 3? stacks, “safe yourself” should apply all boons so if you get slowed you get superspeed etc.
maybe higher burn dmg.
The hammer as i dont like it because of missing mobility needs rework in general it should deal higher dps as the GS because of the slower chain.

But i guess i need to make a new char and call it “revenent” because all of which the guardian was good the rev is much better and he deals higher dmg..

Well my thoughts are:

Nice thing, but way to expensive. 5 slots are too less.
I mean it would be good, if you could get 3 or 4 times times as much for this price.

2800 gems for a whole bag, of 20 items would be worth it.

As long as you put so much crap for too much gems in the game i won’t use gems. Thats ridiculous expensive.
You need 3 gather items, then bank express, terass pass, teleport to friend, mystic forge etc.
I would buy easily 5-10 but not for this price. So what you screwed with the addon you keep going on.

From my perspective this is a bug!
No one can say, that you have to get an event to fail, because why are events there, because of the purpose to get it completed.

Such a big fail..

Guards are not op, i play one.
I thing a mesmer is op, the shield for example.
But warriors are a joke the same as thiefs.
btw 3 people take the two classes which are broken the most. that’s a big reason for the lose.
In my opinion guards are in a good spot. we do a heck lot of damage, but we are squishy and vournable on conditions.

well why dont add the abbility to change the colour of the backpiece, we have enough colours, and i guess for a legendary backpiece it would be great to have such an option.
my opinion on that change is: why did you do that? We saw it, and wanted it, now you changed it and its totally different now, what if some don’t like it anymore?!

and thats the reason the whole lfg system is broken right now.
you cant find anything in there its just a total mess

I’m really sorry, but the biggest joke Colin does is, that he typed it on reddit, not the official!! forum, just reddit some 3rd party forum crap.

Sorry but where is the communication, when you don’t use the official channels,
that sucks hard.
And for a warrior or thief you need to be kidding right? The mesmer is the most powerful block, evade what so ever class now and those two can’t stand a chance against any class..

Your lets call it “balance patch” did well for getting two classes totally out of pvp and make nearly all teams win with the most revs.. unbelievable, you call it ‘balanced’

Point prove, what a toxic and offensive mosh pit. Anet should never reply here. Just read your comments and others in this forum, how can devs communicate with these people

you can discuss with me, but i feel it a bit strange, that a dev posts such an important message not on the official forum, why do we have it?
And that the balace is totally broken is undoubable.
I played yesterday in the guild hall with my mates and kitten the mesmer is sick as hell.
btw. the F2 shot from the warr in berserker modus is nearly always instant kill xD haha

Funny,
all blamed the DH for being OP, and now no one gonna takes it.
Funny that rev is soo overpowered, but no one believed me, here you have the evidence.

Warrior and Thiefes need a really big improvement, and i guess the basic classes (anyone without HoT) as well, but that will not happen i guess.

Hey Dara,

quick question:
Friend of mine builds his guild. He has queued architecture for lvl 4, but dont has the treasure trove yet. He can’t put it into the queue as he don’t has the requierents yet. Is he able to complete it after release, or do you change it that he’s stucked with the 50 slot bank?

Hey John,

i got a couple of questions:
Since you nerf the dungeons hard how is a new player able to go into fractals or even raids? You need an ascended armour and well, we who all have one know how expensive it is.
How is a new player able to get the money for dunno more then 20 bolts of damask? That means you need 20*300 silk scraps => 6.000 and more. How is a new player able to get that amount of silk to build an ascended armour for just one char?

Another question: The fact, that you nerf the dungeons means, random players don’t run them in future no more. How is a new player able to get dungeonmaster – or like me dungeoneer? Only threw pvp?

I get the idea why you nerf it but there are dungeons where the reward is great – CoE or Arah. Where aetherpath get too less reward for my opinion.

Besides the fact that you force more on a content which player dont like play that much (look on lfg how much groups their are for dungeons & fractals) i get the point that you don’t have to design a whole story for a fractal. You focus on LA, the other areas of Tyria are not interesting.
Example:
CoF or CoA need an event chain to open the gates, same as arah. Since dugeons get less appealing players don’t do these events anymore => the maps get less popular and more empty.

What are your anwsers here? How can a noob join a fractal with no AR, and no much idea of the gameplay? Dungeons were the perfect spot for them to grow on exp and earn money to buy an asc. armour.

Azure.8670:

chrono has 25% movement speed in its traits

thanks, then the poorish DH is the class with a lack of movement, bad traps and a poorish design.
looks like:
dh → is an undercover ranger
druide → is an undercover guard
revenant → is the better choise.

but for more distinct opinion i need to play the rev a bit more, but seems so.

My opinion on the DH:
The longbow is okish
The 5. attack is bad, you can easily dodge the last big impact, just know the mechanic, count 1,2, dodge.

the traps are – sorry – just rubbish.
i played against a mate in pvp. he was a minion master necro, i could never kill him, then we tested the whole stuff.
all minions and himself cluttered together and i hit all traps at once.
long story short – > i died the minions attacked me and i was down and got killed by them.
the mechanic that you got a longbow and traps seems that the guard should be a ranger, but how can you hold your enemy on range? its nearly not possible.
then traps are not used with ground target, that means i have to go to the enemy and use the trap, which can be easily evaded.
in conclusion:

1. let us get the 25% movement speed. if i have it right in mind the guard and mesmer are the only class which don’t have this utility.
2. the sound is ok’ish but sounds a bit like a lightsaber or similar.
3. make traps ground based, or just let us get something different. i got no use, espically of the new heal.
4. the fifth skill from the bow needs a bit of rework. if you know the mechanic you can easily evade the big impact by counting.

besides that i don’t see any reason for using the dh.
the class of the guardian doesn’t get any benefit. the class is called GUARDian but just the new virtues help me, but the rest is a big misunderstanding, in my eyes.

When i would be a F2P player:
Seriously: WHY should I do this crap events?
I get
NO Karma
NO Gold
NO Exp
zero to nothing blooms.

And for the sake of the legit ones who do the event from start to the end, they are rewarded with nothing because they get no stacks.
Yesterday i did it the legit way, i got about 9 stacks, and seriously, i’m looking more often on the map then doing the event. Today i did it the ‘hit and run’ way, et voila – 14 stacks..
You reward the people for skipping.
The f2p people gain no exp, no karma and no gold, why should they do the event for nothing? and the cost of the items is just a pain in the a.. You’ve to grind the whole four days.

Guys hire a new event designer, or don’t know just get this crap event out of it..

I guess it’s a mix of both, thanks guys
i use reflect and the speed as well, but never saw this anywhere else.

Hey folks,
first: it happend just two times, and both times in twilight ambor.

I’m playing TA dungeon with my guard and suddendly my cooldowns get green!
Don’t know what it caused but the CD was faster, means opposite from chill.

I don’t know who it did, and how so my question is: who can do it and how? does it affect the whole team, or was this bug?
I’m really not shure, but I saw that my CD times were green, not white or red (for chill).

Thanks in advance
Chris

First, I don’t Play PVP that often, that I am able to have a bigger view.

But:
so far i don’t like PVP because of missing mechanics and missing maps. I played some times ago WOW and had there capture the flag with 10 vs 10, and that was no ‘hot join’ that was freaking awesome when 20 People try to get a flag and kill each other.

What i really miss:

• Duell, i can’t just right click on someone and select “Duell” in the heart of mist (i’m not english native, hope you know what i mean, pvp Lobby)
• more maps some with and some without mechanics because now we just have maps with a mechanic but besides one map it’s all capture the Point, really annoying.
• much more variations with game modes as capture the flag, kill the king (one has to get the buff and just he gets Points for killing, when he gets killed this Person gets the buff…)
  ——

what i don’t like eigher is that my gear in pvp don’t stay fix:
for example, in pve i have GS and sword-focus, but in pvp GS and cepter-focus.
and when i entry the Lobby i don’t look at my weapons but then i see “oh kitten it wrong weapon” that bugs me.

Besides that i really like the PVP System, the dodge ability, it’s not easy for me.

I got another:

Guild bank!
The regular bank is really nice done, if I have a piece of wood i click on it and it’s transfered into my bank.
At the guild bank i have manually put all items in there, i can’t stack them in the bank, i have to do it in my bag.
I hate this inconsistency. When i forge about 100 greatswords and put them all one by one in my bank that is a UI killer.
The Forge as well ;-)
