Guild Wars 2

So from what I am reading its just farm the hero points now and unlock when the expansion launches?

Is anyone else completely confused by this. The expansion is launching in 4 weeks and this information has still not been officially published.

Seems completely unprofessional.

I think i like the idea of a teleport but what if we just made GS 5 like a grip that pulls the opponent to us eliminating all the silly path issues, that alone would fix it and resolve all the problems.

Anyone else feel this way. The GS 5 skill is very poor to close to gap so i find myself going into RS and using #2 skill just to be able to close the gap. We should really look at extending the range on GS-#5.

Thoughts?

For the first beta a lot of players went with the “full zerk” gear since there was an obvious lack of damage. And so did I for the first day of beta. The next day is switch to power/toughness/ferocity. I also tried condi build but not with the gs on.

I personnaly always like the stat “power / toughness / ferocity” as the reaper can reach 100% critical hit without precision. and toughness is a good thing in VB. I don’t think this stat is available in exotic right now (not sure at all) but it is in ascend. And it was available in exotic for the beta, so I believe it will be in HoT anyway.

But for the friday, we have to keep in mind that the reaper has been buff. Yeah I know not nerf but buff, on necro, it’s sound like Dhuum is back in tyria to me. So we might see “new” gear stat.

Also condi reaper look pretty fun to play. I didn’t spend much time on it but Dhuumfire on RS is fun, and with reaper onslaught unbugged it may rain fire.

Thanks for the reply. You think GS will be viable in PvP (both sPvP and WvW) and PvE?

For those that tested the Reaper with GS and Staff. What gear has worked? Is celestial the most optimal or power gear?

Sorry if this has been posted but has the next beta weekend been announced yet?

Warlords of Draenor Expansion: $49.99 plus a monthly sub. So you should be thanking ANet.

After the hundreds of dollars I paid for gems, no I can’t say I forgot this game is B2P…

Who forced you to buy gems? That was your decision.

Running servers is not that expensive. WoW made a billion a year profit off that lie.

Anet is fine, the question is whether they want to be insanely greedy or not like WoW, and it’s looking that way. We’ll probably get every skimpy season of LS sold as an “expansion” for $50 a year from here on out, perhaps even two of these a year.

Running servers is not expensive? I do not know whether this is ignorance or sarcasm.

The expenses of buying a single server are anywhere from 15K to 100K for a single one which they then build farms out of for MMOs. Then filter in the data-center floor space, electricity, cooling, people cost, hardware maintenance and they become enormous.

Where in the world did you get the idea running servers is cheap??

Did you forget this is a B2P game? They are running the servers you play on for free, providing patches and content for free and do not require a subscription. Other MMOs require monthly $14 subs + $30 to $40 for expansion.

Remember.. B2P not F2P.

Compared to the warrior shield skills the Guardian shield in PvP is abysmal. I could be completely off since I just came back to the game and missing something but just feels very bad.

I recently came back to the game and will probably be leaving soon as well. This is a terrible design. I love the PvP in this game but i cannot believe they removed the solo q.

Hi everyone, came back to the game after 2 years and am wondering on continuing to play with either my Mesmer or guardian. sPvP and PvE. Any suggestion on which class is more wanted and effective.

Thanks in advnace

It’s like two weeks into the game. No one really know how to play the game yet, that type of stuff doesn’t get figured out for possibly years. It’ll take some time before folks figure out what skills and weapon combo is the best (or really, exactly what role a profession sits); complaining about being under/overpowered this early is kinda silly.

Yep nobody knows how to play except Thief’s, Mesmers and Warriors…. Now, this wouldn’t have anything to do with their classes being better designed than hours right? Yeah you are probably right, all the people that know how to play play those 3 classes and all the bad players are on Necros and Elementalists.

/sarcasm off

I believe they said dueling is coming soon. But there was no mention of 2v2,3v3,4v4. I think this would add a lot of flavor to the game.

Would love to know if there are any plans for this.

I agree with everything. Necromancers were supposed to be the tanky caster class but i think we might be worse than Elementalists when it comes to survavability. A thief drops you in seconds and your dots do not even scratch them.

Terrible terrible class.

I agree with you. For a game that markets itself on skill this ability sums up the opposite. I cant believe it made it live in this form since all you see is thieves spamming it, going into stealth building points and spamming again.

Its pretty pathetic.

It just feels like a zergfest because the maps are too small for the amount of players allowed. I think if they changed it to 5v5 or 6v6 it would be a lot more balanced.
