Guild Wars 2

also consider now their are many bad Player in Diamond or so which just got their because they did exploit the old System and got to a rank in which they dont belong, and suddenly have to Play ranked against People which belong to such high rank, ofc they get destroyed xD

Hi Hi

Is it just me or is the CC you eat now is insane with the new specialications.
And what is the most annoying about it is that you can almost not dodge it.
But most of the new specialisation have mostly These hard CC which are like bam you got hit and now you lay down for 3 sec on the ground.
I dont have something against CC heavy classes but i think if their is a really heavy CC it should not be like almost not see able Animation that you almost never can see comeing. especialy since for most “old” classes the CC’s got nerfed that they are predictable. but now they did add big CC which are as powerful but you can almost never dodge them

ok my Problem is more that everything worked fine the last 3 years playing gw2 and suddenly i got the Problem since the last week.

Hi Hi

Recently I reconiced the following Problem, all the time I Play GW2, the Ping and the FPS are shown as quite good (FPS ~52-60 and Ping ~ 40-50) but what is see on Screen is like slideshow. I also noticed that while i run around in the SPvP Lobby i have almost no Problems of that Kind, but as soon as im in a match up it gets really bad -.-, which is quite annoying.
At the same time GW 2 is the only game i have that Problem with, if i Play Dragon Age Inquisition Mulitplayer or Killing Floor 2 absolutly no Problem of that Kind.

I already did reupdate my videocard Driver

best regards

Hi Hi

I think we all had once the Feeling of like hmm why does always only the other professions the daily sPvP win daily?
Since it did start bugging me i started to note them every day now after 74 days my sheet is full and i have some interresting results.

This is the amount each proffession got itself as Daily sPvP win. with 4 Dailies and 8 proffession the averange should be 37!

Guardian: 39
Warrior: 37
Elementalist: 38
Engineer: 42
Necromancer: 34
Mesmer: 26
Ranger: 42
Thief: 38

To be honest i was quite suprised, the first week i was like ok Mesmer is a bit bag with only 2 Dailys a week while Ranger had 5 with the law of big number that will even out for sure, but it came other and it got worse and worse for mesmer …

So if you want the maxiumum amout of Dailies try to Play as Ranger or Engineer! and avoid Mesmer.

the main Problem i face at the Moment is the following. I did try out several classes now and quite a lot of build and i found out that if you are one of the higher ranked Players in solo que you get in Trouble if you Play Support builds -.-
I did love playing bunker Guardian but that is almost not playable in solo que, what does it matter if i can Support my whole Team but I end up in matches. where they are like, oh nice Guardian is mid he keeps them busy we chase now with 3 man that thief over the whole map -.-
I almost never had hat Problems with my Ranger or Mesmer. their it was like ok one guy defend that Points i nuke him take the Point let that 3 guys chase the thief we got at least the Point.

and if you have a high MMR you can be almost sure that you get almost every match up guys which have no clue that you try to Support them and the first Moment after you did buffed them and healed them up they run away from battle to next Point…. For me it was super annoying to Play Guardian in solo que because i had to Play a build i did not like and was not so good at(but because i did not depend on my Team it was more efficent in the end … )[I love playing Support Guaridan but if i wanted to win in solo que i had to Play Meditation Guardian which i dont like so much]

one Thing that confuses me, so many People moan about the match makeing System, but often when i get into games i Play the the most time of that day with the same People, best chase i had yesterday i got 6times in a row in a matchup with the same 2 man Team (it was ping pong they where on my Team then next game enemy Team) that is really confuseing, so i though maybe None else is queing but it Looks like their are a ton of People, just that i somehow only get into matches with Kind of like the same People over and over again

I have taken a stance, if i solo queue and spot a premade im going afk, regardless of how the game is going.

You’re missing your chance to relentlessly troll them for doing unranked as a premade.

Ill do it either way ranked or unranked, winning or loosing. This is the worst match up system ever implemented.

spotted someone who destroyes the fun for most Player and is one of the reason this Topic started

unfortunalty i have to agree with the author i did try to Play a supportive Guardian in random ranked que, absolute Desaster … they see me and think i can tank 3vs1 an just randomly scatter around me that i can not buff more then 1 of them at once, but my most Favorit is im contesting a Point with already capped it to 3/4 for us when enemies bunker Comes and we end up in an endless battle while my Team just jumps around and do nothing …

can confirm that but i only get together with leavers and noobs …. quite annyoing

i have nothing against some RNG but if the RNG is that only People with lots of Money can optain it then it is a bit unfair.
so far i looked the People estimate it drop rate 1/20000.
I was able to Farm like 3-4k bags myself and that was alot of work but even with that lots of ingame farming the Chance to get it was quite low(i did not got it)
And i really ask myself howmany People have been able to farm more then 10.000 bags themself without buying them?

I really dont like to use my Money for that because that is not fun for me(and if you dont get it also with spending all your Money you are really really really angry)
I liked it earn it with playing the game and many of my guildmates thought the same, in the end my whole guild did farm serveral houres a day and in the end non of my guild members was able to get one.

I just dont get how it can be that if like 10 People farm 3-8h a day for 2 weeks and in the end all of them are Kind of sad because they did not get it(the only Thing we got in the end was a nice amount of zuzus , we also got non of the unlimited potion or necklases) and then come the Statement it Drops like it should be -.-’ then im like you really wanted to make many People sad

i tried most of them but -.- unfortunatly non of the Skins in the wardrobe was the one i wanted -.- Looks like i have to wait till they release a set with fittign look QQ

Hi Hi

I have at the Moment some toubles with finding the Fitting boots for my thief
maybe you can help me. ( i did try out the boots i have but they all seems to not fit most of them are just to big or look like winter boots, then on the other Hand they are to short or just to Long or they look strange -.- )
i hope someone here can help me ^^

thats how my thief look like

i just tried to make the super epic wooden word recipy from the norn start area but i just reconiced they did remove the Karma recipy from the npc carman fawntracker, she now only has an axe and the empty honey pot no longer the recipy for that epic sword QQ
did they just changed the npc which sell it? i hope it is still possible to get that recipy

Hi Hi

i really like it that you can choose what stats you want to have on most of the newest ascended back pieces but they often dont have the stats i want, ok you have Berserker and soldier. but for example on my engi i use blood injection trait and convert vitality into condition damage and unfortunatly their is no pure dire in it -.-’ also you cannot choose assassine
hope we get somewhen the Option to get all stats Combos on ascended backpieces

@ Baldavier

that simply because belindas sword is no katana it is an odachi (or how ever it is written in english)

acctually i did miss the scabbard at rytlock xD i was always like why doesnt he get inflames and where is his Stone scabbard from the books -.-’

aslong as they dont start sellling scabbard exclusive via gem store im fine with any solution

hi hi

With Belindas Sword we got the first weapon with scabbard.
only Thing that bugs me is that their seem to be no Change to already exsistings weapons.
for most weapons that is ok, like a fractal greatsword or twilight on you back just look good without scabbard.
But I really wish their would be an Option in the Futur for Scabbard or Holster
After seeing now Belindas sword im Kind of sad that i cant have a scabbard for my “Honor of Humanity” and “Bonetts rapier” and also that i dont have an Option for an wild west style Holster for my Ascended Pistol -.-’

hi hi

What i did like in previous LS updates was that you also could win some of the items in sPvP but that is now complettly gone
I dont want every 2 Weeks a new reward track but from time to time a new one that you can get a some of the PvE Content would be nice.
It was nice that you got in the past often some Little things like like the winterdays gifts and other small things
That way i felt not complettly seperated from LS because i always had a Little bit of the things you can get, but now i feel like that LS contend is hard toget because i either Play sPvp which i like or i have to go and force me to Play PvE to get some of the Little things

what I found out it only hit zerk users really hard (he did hit me on my glass cannon ele for like 12k which is absolutly annoying )
but then after i was downed the 3 or 4th time i did Change to my celestial accessory and put 6 Points into earth (and took just defensive traits) and bam it was trival for me again -.- after that she die hit me only for like 3-4.xk …
that was quite nice that just that Little Change made such a huge difference
but Overall i have to say it is quite unfair to some classes, since warrior and Guardian get much less affected by her damage -.- it would have been fair if that was more like agony damage (that it hit you even with full ar for like 40-50% over time if you are not able to Counter that attack)

Looks like you could see in the Futur xD

Wow, the Ascended boots actually make those pants nice!

yeah it is just a bit annyoing to match the colours since the ascended boots have a Little bit different colour (even if you apply the same colour to both)

ah ok -.-’ i was just confused because i did not had the Problem with the wirstguards
which are from the same set the boots are, thats why it confused me

Since i finally got the gear i wanted started to try out some different Skins and colours, unfortunatly i found out that sometimes strage things happens or Thing only can be dyed in a strange way.
For example i tried to run around in my Madking costume (female Version) and i liked to dye it with a bright orange head and some dark clothes, but unfortunalty the pumpkin Shares now the same colour with your main clothes so, as soon as i have a bright orange head which Looks nice the main parts of the rest will be bright orange too, which makes me look much less scary -.- on the other Hand if i wear for example a dark violett coat my head will be dark violett too, so I look like a fool again -.-’
but i dont have to wear it so it is ok
then i went on mix and match my armour to make it look nice. after i found some nice pieces and a nice colour scheme i found the next Problem one part of my armour Change the colours i put on so it look strange again -.-

the following Picture Show it the leggs and the boots are dyed in the same colour but both the red and Gold look different -.-

ok then i seem to said it not clear xD

what i meant was, that you often dont get the Team reward Thing even if you contributed very much to it, because it scales you whole Team down, because of 1 leaver or afk, or you dont get the Team reward because of dc in the last 20 sec what is super annyoing

I really like that you get less reward for doing nothing, but unfortunalty ist very tricky and i get quite often reduced reward for playing the full match up as good as i can.
and it feels really bitter if you make 150+ Points with decapping and killing enemies but because your Team did not made enough Points you get only like 2xx instead of the 300+5xX reward
even worse is if you get a dc then you get complettly reduced to 0
and this feels so super unfair if you had 200+ Points and you get a dc at 400 and you know if you log in back it game will be at 450 and you most likeyl only get 0-100 Points as rewards. it would be nice if the game could at least remember your Points(it might be an Option to just stay logged out but sometimes the games are Close and you dont want to mess it up for the rest of your Team[some People then do mess it up … and that feel annyoing if they dont come back because they fear getting no reward and you lose that way])

^^ yeah i wish now i would have some oversupply at least for 1 part of gear i Need xD it used to be easier to be easier to get nice light stuff and artificer weapons xD

Hi Hi

Im not sure if someone already wrote about it, at least i did not find it. But their is something with the amount of Wood and Ore you get, which Kind of buggs me.
After Farming serveral maps i always ended up with haveing like 20% more ore then Wood. In generell that is not that bad since many professions use ore and not so many Wood.
but then i rememberd that i Need more Wood then ore to make an Ingot/plank

so i started calculating with the 20% more ore then Wood i have a 45% Chance of getting Wood from an resource spot(only includes tress or mineing spotts and no herbs) and kitten of getting ore from it

then I looked that i Need in averange 2 ore for 1 Ingot but 3 Woods for 1 plank

and i continued with calculating, now i wanted to know how many resouce spots i expect to find to get 100 Planks and how many if i want 100Ingots
(here is my calcultion 100=(Chance of certain ressource spot[Wood or Ore])X(Amount of Planks/Ingots i get per ressource spot)X(Amount of Ressource spots i expect to Need for that Goal)

That makes for Panks (100=0.45×1xX) and i expect to Need 222.2 ressource spots for that Goal

Ok now the same for Ingots (100=0.55×1.5xX) oh now i expect to Need 121.2 ressoruce spots

That shocked me because for the same amount of Planks as Ingots you Need to find like 100 more ressource spots and i think thats is a bit rediculous …

So i looked a bit closer and I saw on most maps you find the ore Iron and iron need 3 ores for 1 Ingot so i adjusted the calculation for the stand of Wood and the most likely found Ore

so for 100 Iron Ingots (100=0.55×1xX) i need to find 181 ressource spots those are luckyly more Close to each other but since you get still find 20% Metal then Trees it is also confuseing that you sill need 20% more ressource spots for Wood then for the “most expensive” Metal

And in the maps you have Iron in you also have often Wood that need accutally 4 Wood for 1 Plank which is ridicules, because that way you expect for those Woods for
100 Planks (100=0.45×0.75xX) 296 ressource spots which is just Insane

as note: the amount of ressource spots i calculated are only the amount i expected to need under ideliced standarts like counting rich mineing nodes as serveral Independent mineing spots and the expection that every ressource spot give exactly 3wood/ore, with smart Navigation or luck it can be siginifcant reduced
*want to mention again ressource spot is ment to be only either a Tree or a Mineing node no Herbs!

it is funny that the recipy is more worth then the 7th lowest priced legendaries
in other words if you are lucky you can buy your self a legendary with it wonderfull, if it was an acutally legendary i would say the drop rates are fair but ehmm ok a back Piece recipy o.O?

I just notice that the infused Version of the ring “Lunaria, Circle of Moon” still has the old stats while my non infused “Solaria, Circle of Sun” has the updated stats
Lunria all = 44
Solaria all = 46
thats very annoying because my infused ring,a Thing that i did for much Money now made my ring worse.

thank you thank you thank you <3 <3 <3

I bought the Mad King town clothes and i had it equpit on my elementalist, i know their is an npc where you can trade in such things but i can find him any more, i did find him on my other character at the patch day, (i forgot that i had to alts with those blacklions shop Outfits) now i want those 2 alts outfites Count in too but i cant find the npc to trade them in -.-
hope someone can help me, because all i found was gendaren fields near evon, thats where i did trade it in the last time too but now their is only the weapon guy -.-

i bought myself the PvP T2 human heavy armour, the Thing is now i have the Skin in pve too but i still dont have it counting for achievment. now i feel a bit unconfortable, because now i have to buy it second time to just throw it away to have it Count for the achievment.

at least the killing Player and repair one seems to be possible, but still funny that you “only” 250.000 Player kills

Hi Hi

Just wondering do you really Need 500.000 escorted dolies for the title Ultimate Chaperone ? i tried to go for that title but ehmmm

I did some math if i escort 1 dolie every Minute, i just Need 347 days ingame to get that title, i think that not possible to get, is their anyway you can get more and faster dolies because i would like to get that title but with just Walking next to them seems to be impossible -.-’

Hi Hi

I does face some strange disconnects of the game in last time most of them was perfectly timed at like 1 or 2 mins befor the Boss is finished mainly really big one, that causes me ofc to then get to an Overflow or even if i get back i get no loot ofcouse.
I monitored my Connection to game even asked my Internet Provider but all said nothing was wrong at that time.
so i have no clue why it happens and especially at those super annoying moments.
It would be nice if you could get a least some parts of the loot if you get a dc in that Moment because it is very sad if you fight the Boss almost the whole time and then you are the only one which really get absolutly nothing even if you did a great Job.

unfortunatly did my pc Fall by scarlets evil plans(playing on max settings was a bad idea)
so guys gogogo beat her troups even harder for me.
hope their will be something left wenn my pc is repaired
btw is The trikeychest back? Last time i was able To check it was not their

I dont know why but somehow the Resolution of the arah heavy armor seems a bit low for me

http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/3281/xayv.jpg

while other armor look much better

http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/9797/eqjy.jpg

my System

win 7
8 gb ram
amd hd 7870
amd phenom II x4 955

anyone has a clue why that is ?

I think Ascended was a good idea they are a good way to give People a Goal

only Thing i dont like is that ascended weapons have differnt “look” but ascended armor doesnt have that. would be nice if their would be differnt too, dont have to be a total make over, but a differnt ornaments one it would be nice since you have to pay for each stat combination. alt friendly would be to pay for each Piece and then you can discover the missing stats

what I really like was how tequatl got updated.

Would be really like if other Areas would get some upgrade. That dont have to be just make the world bosses more difficult.
It would be nice to see some meta Event chains in that difficulty, and with Special rewards like a mini of place where the Event was placed on like the mini of zyther sanctum.
that way you also create a greater variety to get on such things or also get differnt looking Versions, it would be really nice to see such a great variety on Looks for ascended as for exotic gear.

What i also like is that you add more and more minigames. maybe those also could get some vertical Progression like Keg brawl getting new maps, or you allow guilds to Play in a Team against each other

Many People also like to get title to Show visually what they achieved. i would like to see if we will see more in the Futur, but please dont make them as ridiculas as some of the WvW one (escorting 500 000 dolyaks doesnt look possible for me xD )

First of all it was nice that they did reset all the Points with the patch so you could freely rebuild.

Unfortunatly doesnt my old build work anymore QQ but I test a new one hopefull it will be as much fun as my old.

only Thing i really dont like is that Arcane wave is not a ground target with range it is like a sneaky chast time -.- and i dont like that on arcane skills i like to have them press and it is done, not oh no where i have to put

thats the reason i like being in SFR we even try to fight and dont run away if we just outnumber our enemy by 2:1

http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/2697/2gxr.jpg

the main reason why SFR is so kitten ed is because piken mainly did spawn camp while SFR had fight with Viz and tried to cut of their respawning People, and thats why SFR now try to kick Piken out of the Top 3 of the tournament it isnt already chiseled in Stone that piken make it in the top 3 their are other Servers which might could get that too, because next week piken is against viz, viz will surely make first place that their is absolutly no Chance SFR can also Claim 1# that will make piken most probably lose the next 2 matchups

Things I like about the LS

1)I like the Frequenz of the contend, it is really nice to have every two weeks new things to do, also the small preview a week bevor

2)the parts where you had to discover some Thing on your own like the Detective at Dragon bash, the Little history Exploration of first Halloween, they where really fun, and i learned a bit more about teria and also found new places. liked it very much

3)That some of the new enemies are a bit harder to kill then averange Mobs, it is really nice to have some places outside of orr where you dont feel like Walking through a hord of Monster which beg you for getting slayed

But their are also Thing i dont like so much

1)Some of the Special items are really grindy, it is not fun to do Mad clocktower 3h to get like 1 out of 20 items you Need for a “Fashion/mini” item

2)Ingame Explanation of what is going on is not so good

3)The Story archs are often very not so well connected as they should be

What i would like to see changed

1)That the LS Releases are a bit more connected, it dont has to be always such a huge Story like the push back of scarlett but some of the more recent release feel like this week we though like this after that next week like that

2)that their are a bit more heroic moments, like as the karka destroyed the lighttower in LA or as the mad king apeared the first time, dungeons like the bloody prince are not funny it was so easy that i never had the Feeling the bloody prince was a danger and then the asura talked so much about Things, the Mad king explain much better while you run around in the maze

3)That their are a bit more NPC explaining what exactly is Happening and explain you also some mechanics, some of my guildies found out after 1 week that the maze has another way to enter then the hide and seek game, not all Player browes the main site to find out all the stuff, such things like the doors all over kryta get explaind not so good in game, that many People have Trouble to even find the new Content

Things i like how they got changed

1) that their is often a Little hint ingame for the new release like the cut down trees in kessix hill, or the tend over the great collaps. They are really fun to find and it is also much fun to guess what will happen their. (also would like to see if their are some workers in some cities befor a big Festival, that would make it a bit more real then puff and out of nowhere are all Thing other in LA)

2) Minigame roation, i really like it that way all those nice mini games dont get lost and with the roation they also get less boring, really like it

3)that more of the LS get permanent, like the Invasion or the Change of some maps or the implementation of the minigames

“MAD Clocktower build”

Both Teams try to build the Mad Clocktower, with grabbing items and and put them on top of each other, and you also can Sabotage your enemies Tower.

xD at least it is not only me which experience the Thing with Speer and harpoon ^^^

btw did you try rocket turret underwater the FX attack has a circle to place now even underwater ^^ try to hit something with that that is not at the ground or near a wall

but the hit boxes underwater are sometimes very evil i remember how i did beat 2 min on a round poison plant with a radius of 1m becaues i could not get a hit with my Auto attack that was very frustrating

I hope they will try to tackle those Problem that would really benefit the whole game, i want to see that People have much fun with underwater combat and dont akt like they are out of sugar and have to fear to vanish in thin air as soon as they touch water ^^

the new healing skill is a reward so I’m pretty sure it will stay in game.

with the weapon on land im pretty happy with at the Moment, but underwater combat really would Need a make over, their are no under water only utilities but you cant use many underwater for me that look not fair ….

Acctually i dont see Ascended as the game winning part of WvW, best example of that are the fight between pugs and guild, often pug zergs outnumber the guild zergs by 2:1 both are in gernerell equally equiped so that pug would have a damage Advantage of 100% but they ofter get totally wiped by the guilds. WvW is about coordination, looking for the best place to fight on, better Equipment increase ofcourse your abilities but it is not game winning part. WvW is not the place to run out of Formation and call for duel …

Just wondering what you think about Largos/Quaggan deep sea cities? I would be really happy to see that ANet would add some deep sea related Maps and learn a bit more about their Story. We only see Little quaggan villages so we might know how a City of them would look like,but to see like the main City of them would be really awesome, also im very curious how a largos City look like, they seem to be a dominating underwater race, which also seems to be on the same Level as the atm playable races (just underwater and hidden)

I know most Player dont like the underwater combat for several reason like
-inexperience
-put the traitpoints in the way it only benefit land combat
-and for many classes the lack of chooseing Options for their weapons, which force them into a Special Playstyle the often dont like
-disable of possible skills(their are no water only skill, but many ground skill dont work underwater)

In my opinon some underwater only maps with some Little adjustments in water combat, could improve the gameplay Overall(unfortunatly is underwater combat not very popular among the Player, at the moment)
Such Content also would statify the lore Player a bit (they never get statified completly )with explaining a bit more about the origin of those deepsea races

I also know many many many Player want Cantha back but I myself have 2 Problems with it. (i would be also happy to see how i changed in the past 250 years but … )
1. Cantha was in GW1 not very nice to non humans (and many charr are still not so happy with the human charr alliance) so i would not feel so good with running around as non human in Cantha
2. Especial not so lore related People would be very confused since Cantha celebrate and like Dragons very much.
they would often think why dont they attack me, the sons of svanir attack me all the time too
