Guild Wars 2

I still hate it.
They removed the ridiculous event in the center of the map and made a few tweaks.
Yes, it s better now, but the biggest problems haven’t been touched:

1. The tactical significance of the capping points (northern towers + southern towers are useless for anything else but themselves.

2. Keeps are unneccesarily wide, when they should be rather long. This shows to me, that the people working on bay and hills knew what they were doing and why. On the desert BL noone knew. Pure style over substance. Those are STILL PVE structures!
I could say the same for Garrison 2.0 (lets call it that), but hey, since it s the most prestious structure (or should be if anyone seriously cared) i could live with it.

3. Still too much gimmicky BS, on BAD spots on the map. Again no significance to those (stealth, lava/falling damage immunity,verticality,….), because of that. Therefore the camps feel even more far away than they are.

4. Because of 2. and the spawn point (far north), and gimmicky BS (jumppads, verticality galore) the map feels too big.

I guess i had more reasons to hate it when i started writing this, but i can’t remember.
And please stop telling wvw players to be open minded, especially when you re just a zerger. I was open minded. I tried it, liked the looks, played it and eventually asked myself why there are invaders on a pve map.

To me the Desert BL is for wvw what Skyhammer is for PVP – a joke. It took them years to change it, not after trying to force it on us a couple of times before. Although players were clear about it (what’s the deal with you?).

PS: Don’t ever bring back the center event!

Compared to last season this time it will be a piece of cake.

Last time I did it 100% through SoloQ and without these changes in Meta i doubt i would tryhard it like before.
On top of the Meta changes they changed how pips are distributed, which will make it even easier, especially if you’re decent – imho.

Update:

The item in question has been distributed to the impacted players, and all should now be well with the Primordial Legend achievement.

If you have individual questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Customer Support.

Thanks for your patience!

I did not receive the item. When I reached legend I got the achievement + title but the January 26th patch removed the achievement (and the 6AP it awarded). I still have the title unlocked, but the achievement and AP are missing. Did you already send out the item to everyone or are you still in the process of sending them?

I was informed that all impacted players received the item. Please contact CS so that they can help you.

I’ve got exactly 100% the same problem like Asuaka (I never received the fix-item).
Is this still being worked on or is the CS the only step from now on?

Don’t want to flood CS, you know.

You wanted to get this off your chest and not the tumour that was infecting comment sections over the whole internet?
You ask which one?
You really wanna know?

OK, here it comes: would of, should of or could of.
You really must love this one

Correction: would’ve, should’ve or could’ve (as short forms of would have, should have…).

LOL i’m a “non-english speaker” and this one kittenes me off like nothing else. I don’t know why.

lol i’ve always asked myself why i get chilled when ranging someone? Sense? None.

You should only get chilled in melee range. I’d accept a comprimise like 360 though.

Still, won’t happen.

Hey there, well it seemed kinda weird to me that noone could answer this so i didn’t give up asking IG.
There a nice person explained to me, that it works like this:
For part 1 you had to cross 1 threshold – which was Amber Division.
For part 2 you had to cross 2 thresholds – which was emerals AND sapphire division.
For part 3 you have to cross 3 thresholds – which would mean ruby+diamond AND 1 prestige rank in Legendary.
For part 4 you will then need to cross another 4 thresholds which means reaching prestige rank 4.

Well it would makes sense, cause nobody else complained and I’m sure people would’ve already a long time ago if it was a bug.

What bugged me out though was, that i was almost certain i was at 2/3 before reaching Legendary. I guess i was wrong.

Hope it helps and it would still be nice if some people could confirm this.

Hey, so i’ve reached Legendary (through SoloQ only, yay) today and i’ve been looking at the achievements.
Now when i reached Legendary i got the Primordial Legend title, which needed 6 division thresholds to be crossed.
Thing is the “Year of the Ascension p3” panel for League Champion only needs 3, but for me it s stuck on 2/3.

So is this bugged, or is the wording wrong, or did i go insane after SoloQing?

Hope this haven’t been asked/clarified before

ZeftheWicked.3076:

People in ranked get so kittened when they lose it’s not funny. And I usually mean my team, cause i’m in the bottom half of pvp’ers, and yes, at times i can be a liability.

Well newsflash Sherlock: you gonna lose and …yeah and what?
There are no real winners at pvp, save three groups:

1. the select few premades that make it into ESL and compete for actual real life prizes. If you’re in solo queque, that’s not you, buddy.

2. The ones who learn to calm their anger and emotions and as result perform better in pvp. Though the real win here is the self control, that you can take into rl with you.

3. The ones who plainly have fun, even if they don’t win.

So seriously stop crying all day about a lost pip or even 3. Don’t like it, improve. Don’t like your team? Make a premade. But seriously stop foaming at the mouth cause you lost. That’s pvp for you. Don’t like it, don’t play it.

All I’m hearing here is some bla bla from someone who should queue for unranked matches, or, if the system wouldn’t be a pile of kitten, would be playing in amber/emerald
for an eternity.
Since it s the point to have fun, he/she wouldn’t care one bit about where he/she is playing.

I’d really appreciate if K-trainers would stop posting “how to fix WvW”.

For real WvW players there s something called community and server pride. You take that away, you get eotm. If people on their respectable servers lose their community they lose interest playing this mode (like me). With other words you killed wvw.

That said i don’t want to play with players that don’t enjoy wvw already… i don’t care about them. They’re not wvw players. It’s that simple. Don’t force yourself on me please. Again, there’s already a map for you.

Don’t get me wrong… there are always new players that get every help of me if they ask questions. But those come in, cause they’re genuinely interested in the mode, no new rewards or perma filled up maps with 24/7 K-Train or asking where they can do their Ruins daily.

Seriously, the OP is just soo kitten wrong i’d end up writing an essay why that is and he still wouldn’t get it.

btw: I’ve never played top tier, always bottom and now mid.

I didn’t read the whole thread, i just want to give some feedback from my pov.

Gyros

Since the reveal i knew the Gyros are at bad idea imho and after the stream i knew i was right:

• AI dependant
• Die way too fast/ way too long cooldown
• Can be hit by aoe AND are targetable
• Replace a spot for a kit or a useful skill that actually CAN bring a stunbreak.
• Functions are a joke. Short example: bulwark gyro vs gear shield (1 of 5 skills in an awesome kit)

In short: Since the gyros replace a whole spot which could be used for a kit (5 more skills!), they have to be good. That in mind, it s hard for this kind of skill to balance good vs OP (look at turrets before nerf or before the buff before that). So they ended up with baaaad gyros.

Now, since you redesigned the revenant drastically by giving him a weapon swap i am pretty positive that you still can and probably do something about your gyros that (in my eyes) were doomed from the start.

My idea: Bring a gyro kit. Rebalance/redesign the existing gyros and put them in…. add 2 more gyros basing on the existing toolbelt skills for the already existing gyros (kitten idea just for example purposes). Since they re in a kit… youll use them on demand and it wont have a big impact on your gameplay if they die too fast (if redesigned/balanced to be in a kit)… even if they die that fast like they do now.

The heal gyro needs some rework, or replace it with another non gyro heal and put the gyro with a different functionality in the toolbelt. The elite has it s use…. no matter what people say. It s not bad. Not great, but not bad. The toolbelt skill on the elite is a great one though.

Hammer

I was never a fan on giving the engi a hammer but here it is, so let s make the best out of it:
The damage is pretty subpar. I call it “balanced” tbh, but since certain classes (you know which ones i m talking about) are on steroids it feels really subpar.
I d say leave it at that and see how it plays out, but i really feel the need for some range: Give hammer #4 600 range projectiles. 600 should be max range.

Traits

Not much i want to talk about here (maybe i forgot). Nothing too great (are the 12s prot on turret 2x intended?), or too bad. But Final salvo would be actually useful to take if there would be a gyro kit.

This are my opinions on testing this elite spec. I play only soloQ (bring it back!) and wvw seriously, pve just to relax and hunt those APs. So that s on my backround that leads to my pov.

P.S.: I wont talk about the obvious bugs (Function Gyro,….).
