Guild Wars 2

I still cant log in. I tried this port forwarding solution but did not work. I had no problem before this last patch but now I can not even connect to the log-in server. I guess I just stop playing this game until they fix this issue.

It is pointless to mess with the PC when it was working before patch.

Dear A.net, do something.

Since this update, I cant even log in…

My main is a guardian. It is really a good class for PvX. You can learn the game mechanics without dyeing too many times. Guards are really a survival class. Plus, balance-wise Guardian is in a much better place then some other classes. Beware! If you want a ranged class, guardian is not for you

I started with Ele (thru’ Beta and offical launch). Yeah, that was fun. But Ele is really hard to learn. Later I started a Ranger too and I can say I enjoy it all the way up to lvl 80. I did some PvP and WvW also with my Ranger. I did not find it too bad.

But I think the best is to try all classes and pick your fav.

I really do not know what direction this game is heading now. Devs departed from Manifesto so much that the whole game looks a big mass.

GW2 is not skill-based at all, there is no cosmetic rewards (but we got time gated contents and new tier gears). Class balance is not looked upon by devs. There are only a few valid builds (2-3 per class). Ehh so many points I could list here…

I have been waiting for this patch (and previous too) to see some good changes… Only by reading the upcoming patch “notes” I can tell I wont play too much.

WvW has so much potential but A.net fails to take advantage of it. Instead, they waste their time on useless “contents”. Whoever is developing the game is not the same team developing prior launch. Or they received new directives from “above”. Dunno

if I were you I would just do it… it is so easy and fast. And really cost nearly nothing. I understand you do not like crafting but you could give it a shot

On the other part, I think Crafting is considered as PvE content. That is why it is part of the monthly.

nothing… lost interest. But forum is so funny!

Try “Healway” build. You give boons lasting long around you.

that’s mine ! I have been looking for it for ages. I lost it after a hard night out

Thanks for finding it !

It is good, good. Good fighter and I can say Guardian is a class well balanced with some minor issues.

“We are trying to shed the poor image problems we have had for months on these forums so we have decided to drop the company name Arena-Net and settle on the name Arena-Nerf , we hope this will add better transparency to our players on any and all decisions we make from here on out.”

Best one

“- Fixed a bug where the game was fun.” LOL

I play games for fun… not for dailies or grind or get an item (like legendaries for example).

So what if you do not do some dailies? Nothing bad happens. There are bigger issues with this game and I am worried about those.

I have been using the same build in WvW and also PvP. It works fine. It is not a good direct dps build, but I always play together witm my friends allowing them to dps while I support them, also cc foes, etc.

I do not use AH anymore. This build is mutch more fun.

I run Fractal every day + dungeons.

I use this:

Weapons: hammer/scepter+shield or staff

my armor: full Cleric

my healing is above 1000… Armor is around 3000

Works fine.

So it is up to your play style…

I use GS and hammer (AH build) and I did not have problem… I had to dodge more and keep an eye on mob’s attack animation. I think it is a good thing. At least I was not bored like in Cursed Shore where I could kill mobs “with my eyes closed”. On this new map, I just have to stay alert, so as to say. I like it.

If you cant survive, sorry to say, but you have to learn to play better.

“So what would you like to grind for”

Let me see…. hmm… nothing !

“Please, nerf Guardian! I can never run away from them!”

“LFG Healer/DPS fot CoF Exp 1-3!!!!!”
“Finally, there is an LFG system”
“This Skill Point always works…”

Full ranged/DPS Guardian LFG CoF Expo 1-2-3

In every MMO the best way to find friends to play with is joining a Guild. MMOs are not single player games, but at first glance GW2 seems like… and you can play GW2 w/o Guild or party (except dungeons) but you limit the fun factor, so as to say.

I suggest you find a guild and I’m sure this problem of being “lonely” will get sorted out.
On the other hand, GW2 does not require you to pary up with other people in order to do a Dynamic Event. You can simply work with those around you doing the same event just like you would do it in a party.

GW2 is not a traditional MMO, so if you have previous MMO experiences (such as WoW, Aion etc) just forget the routine you got used to. You have to learn the way GW2 works. It is new, exciting, no grindmill, no fighting for loot… We all play it for fun. This is the best reward to get !

Have fun!

I log into GW2 and TS3 and play (and chat) with my friends. Dungeon runs, DEs, whatever I do with them (talking on TS3) I find all activities fun and great. When I play alone whatever I do (same DEs or exploring…) becomes dull.

An MMO is always giving fun WITH your friends.

guardian has high survival skills… maybe it can be a choice

Zenyatoo is right. I have just bought a weapon there for skin. it costs Karma.

They follow you. That is all. They do not fight or die. I did not find any toggle on/off button on UI.

My main is Ranger too. I agree with OP and I hope Anet will do some changes in the future.
