Guild Wars 2

It wouldn’t be hard to add “mounts”. Just make a costume weapon slot (like the broom) that has bonus move speed. It already will automatically disable when you enter combat because of how “town clothes” work so what’s the problem?

The real problem is even after you break stun they will still “eat” you. Believe it or not this is one of the lesser bugs in dungeons right now and probably won’t be fixed for a long time…

Thought it might’ve been my (now ancient) SoundBlaster card causing this but I switched to on-board sound 2 weeks ago and yesterday I got the sound bug twice in a row. Had to Alt+F4 to quit and then when I started up the game again it literally happened right when I spawned in. This was during Jormag but it happens in any large group events and seriously needs to be fixed. Crashing during WvW is unacceptable and game-breaking because of how much distant is lost on d/c.

Just wait for the December patch when they increase the crafting cap to 500 and add craftable Ascended gear that requires new t7 mats /rollseyes

Been matched up against the same 2 servers the past 3 weeks and its getting boring.

There’s also the persistent pet peeves that seem inescapable even 2 months after launch: a mindless wall of new players going in circles around the map, people who abandon/ignore defenses, people who “use” siege who don’t know how to use them, people who take supply from keeps/towers, the list goes on. I’m just tired of going into WvW and doing my best to support my server and communicate across the battlefield when people ignore orange swords on the map and don’t listen to commanders.

Wait until a piece goes red, use (free from daily/map completion) canister in dungeon, save 12s.

Got kicked twice yesterday with this error. Nothing in my email and I was able to log in again no problem but it would be nice to not get kicked to desktop during dungeons.

Rifle is flat out more effective for bosses.

1,200 range, Aimed Shot’s 5 second cripple on 10 second cooldown, Brutal Shot’s 5 stacks of vulnerability for 10 seconds on 15 second cooldown, and a conal knockback for additional mobs with Rifle Butt. Versus…

900 range slow projectile, a blind and a (25 second CD) immobilize that are made worthless by Unshakable. Yes, the Adrenaline skill does a combo field, but elementalists are walking Fire Fields and I’d rather save my Adrenaline for +12% damage.

Why do you need a whole set of the same dungeon armor? It’s not like there’s non-rune set bonuses. Get creative or get grinding, stop complaining!

Not sure what dungeons you are having problems with to cause you to “graveyard” them… If your group is moderately coordinated (someone is leading and marks targets, people avoid big red circles on the ground) and has exotic armor (which costs like 10-15g even if you farm no mats) you should be having no problems with dungeons. After the initial non-story mode run I’ve found all the dungeons to be “fun” and “rewarding”.

I’m not sure what games you’re coming from, but in my previous MMOs it was not unheard of to go for one to six months without receiving an equipment upgrade drop from a dungeon/raid/group event. GW2 is a huge leap for me personally considering you get drops & gold from bosses, drops from splendid chests, AND gold/karma/exp/tokens at the end of the dungeon. Ignoring all that, people do the dungeons for the tokens for the most part anyway right? If you can run all 3 paths in one day you’re looking at getting a guaranteed piece of exotic armor (with one of three stat spreads) from a NPC in a day or two.

In the end, if you don’t find dungeons fun or rewarding, just don’t do them. There’s other ways to get exotic armor and you can always just transmute.

Level 80s with Level 80 equip (any quality) will roll through any of the dungeons as long as one person knows what they’re doing and takes the lead. Each dungeon has a path that a pickup group can manage regardless of skill. Teamwork is OP.

Most NA servers are full… of bots!

/drum snare

I think there’s an equal amount of women wearing tin cans and men wearing skirts. Most of the armor looks the same between gender & races; the real difference in look comes down to body types. Most of the armors outside of culturals are just reskins anyway…

Healing Signet is the lowest cooldown healing skill for Warrior. Paired with 6 Sup. Centaur runes, you always have a 15 second aoe swiftness on a 20 second cooldown available. I run with this for WvW mostly and have a seperate armor set for dungeons.

I run into a lot of thieves in WvW that try to exploit the culling problems by chaining invis > backstab but they seem to forget that invisibility does not equal invincibility. Just stay in groups and carry an invis of your own (snow leopard form)

You need ranged for everything but especially WvW. You should get both a bow & rifle. Bow is better for sieging and defense with the ability to aoe the tops of walls while rifle is best for single target focus fire, like oil pots and cannons. Hammer & Rifle/Bow is probably your best bet for general WvW play.

Rifle = single target
Bow = multiple targets

Bow better for WvW, Rifle better for dungeons (specifically bosses)

- Free server transfers
- Players going back to their previous MMO and/or school
- Fall release schedule (people only buy video games during oct-dec according to the industry)

When you include the typical post-launch player rate drop off its not hard to see why there’s less people around. It’s not just your server and is yet another problem Anet needs to address. Sadly, they’ll probably let go until January when they’re done with their event release schedule.

OP you should change your thread title to “Everyone’s opinion of Orr”. These zones are a nightmare and nothing makes me rage more in GW2 pve than getting chain-pulled by these zombies that respawn in 10 seconds. I don’t know how anyone “farms” here without frothing at the mouth.

Spies please leave. Grow a spine and play WvW without insider info. Got whispered last night by someone asking for a cease fire in EB? Get real…

I’m praying they turn the forms into toggles with a 10 sec cooldown similar to weapon swapping. Until then, I think they need to work on fixing bugs and cleaning up some larger gameplay issues, like camera FOV and WvW culling.

If his 8800 died playing this game it’s because that’s an ancient GPU so it was on it’s deathbed and it’s the minimum req to play gw2 so it was probably constantly maxed.

GW2 is very CPU intensive and doesn’t put much load on the GPU so you don’t have to get a $500 card just for this game.

All you have to do balance-wise is switch the Outmanned & Orb buffs.

/map and /team do the same thing in WvW.

I believe rage timers were originally designed to prevent griefing of world spawn bosses… your claim that most MMOs still use them means that it’s clearly an outdated mechanic that doesn’t really belong in a 5 man “trinity-less” dungeon. It’s hard to maximize DPS when everyone is going to get hit because of a lack of hate control skills. Glass cannon builds usually don’t work in dungeons; utility and CC will win over straight damage any day.

Just wanted to give a shoutout to TCMM, thanks for leaving our server and then double teaming us. Another week of being steamrolled!

Last week someone in my party got a Dredge Breastplate (exotic, normally costs 330 tokens) off a boss during a story mode run. I think people hate the low drop rates and just want to get their guaranteed tokens as fast as possible sadly.

Not only is that story mode harder than average (GS boss is ridiculous), but it’s a pain just to get into the place because of the event that is usually contesting the entrance. This was also the only dungeon I had someone ragequit two runs in a row, effectively ending the dungeon early because of how unpopular it is. Anyway, good luck getting story mode done. I recommend LFGing in LA and pestering guildmates for it.

Waiting for dual wielding shields, focii & warhorns… well, maybe not horns, that could get loud.

Rifle is much better for PvE while Longbow is better for WvW. Warrior has great mobility with rifles; the only skill that roots you is your burst. I recommend carrying a rifle in every dungeon because many times there are just too many aoes to dodge or pbaoes that prevent you from meleeing.

Here’s some honest feedback: stop making Youtube “guides”. This kitteneriously needs to stop. No one is going to watch a 5 minute video after seeing your glass cannon stats 30 seconds in. This also goes for all you people that make 15-20 minute “how to make money” “guides”. You’re not going to be e-famous, you won’t make “youtube money”, you’ll just kitten people off and get thumbs downed.

Learn to type, write up a real guide broken down into proper sections on the forums, and maybe then you’ll get respectable feedback.

I can’t even use my own cauldron so I guess you should consider yourself lucky

Yes, free server transfers are still up, much to the detriment of WvW. However even after they end free transfers you will be able to “guest pass” onto other servers.

Do you see the little Ø boon? That’s a costume brawl status effect you get when you take too much damage at once. It makes so you can’t take or receive damage.

Xarog.3172:

I pay 1.6s to repair a single piece. 10s might be the cost for repairing a full set of armour. That’s the same as about 10 teleports which would cost 10-40s. And frankly if you die as often as you teleport I would think you need to address your play style.

Secondly how is teleporting to the mists a “pro” tip? You just added 3 loading screens to my travel time and I’d still pay at LEAST 1s to go somewhere.

Sorry but I do things other than tele to a zone to sit afk. Why do you tele so much and then complain about half an hour of farming to pay for it? Do you seriously think sitting through a few loading screens for free travel is detrimental to your play? I think you are just being lazy and you should probably address your play style.

Repairing a set of lv80 exotic armor costs about 10s. Teleing from one side of the world to the other instantly costs about 3-4s. You tell me which is more of a pain in the wallet.

Protip: You can tele to the Mists for free from anywhere and then walk through the LA portal to go to any major city in the world.

I never saw the first ghost either… I just noticed a Talk notice popup that was nearby the other NPC and a crowd of people were clumped on top of it so I assumed it was important.

The witch costume looks really awesome and it’s account bound so you can use it between multiple characters. Only downside is it’s equipped so you can only have it on one character at a time. The new halloween outfits look really good and are definitely worth it (if you’re into the aesthetic)!

You get them for finding the ghosts in the clues. First page you get from a ghost right next to the NPC that gives you the scanner in LA.

LOL okay so Warrior should get nerfed or ignored then?

“Okay guys get on the front and tank/kite these mobs while I dance in the back shooting arrows and lasers… but don’t do too much damage because I want to look cool too!”

Hopefully devs leave warriors alone because we’re fine as it is and it’s still my favorite class.

The dog barking and scepter auto-attack “wOoOoH” sound they make is really awful. Hopefully the devs clean up the audio for our characters next major patch.

Only signets I’ve bought were Healing & Rage. The signets overall are not worth it for their passive which is lost anyway when you use them and other active abilities have a lot more utility. I’d rather be a CC machine constant stunning, knocking back and interrupting than having some extra stats.

Orbs should give non-combat buffs so there is no swing effect at all.

Oh no it’s okay, keep spawn camping with seige. Our fair weather credit card commanders have left for another server. I think I’m going to take a break from WvW until the devs shut down free transfers.

Yeah abandoning your server will fix the problem. What happens when your new server gets steamrolled two weeks in a row? Going to jump again?

I was really looking forward to a fresh matchup this week and then this happens. “Nightcapping” has changed from losing a few supply camps and towers overnight to waking up and the whole map being one color. Free server transfers, orb effects, and a lack of diminishing returns on overextended enemies will kill WvW. I’m pretty sure that GoM & SF are going to stay where they are this week as things are now, but hey, have fun killing dolyaks from the one camp that gets uncapped, YB.

Orbs should give buffs that don’t affect combat because currently they give a ridiculous buff to HP. +30% HP might not seem like a big deal but consider even with equal sized armies that the whole enemy force has 30% more HP than yours. Two armies meet in the open field and one has hundreds of thousands more HP, who do you think will win? It only gets worse when a defender has that extra wall of HP. This in my opinion is the biggest snowball problem next to free server transfers.

Yeah, Outmanned buff in every zone. Clearly SoR is more “skilled” than us. Good job outnumbering everyone 10 to 1 every fight. It becomes pretty obvious where anyone is when the whole server jumps up our kitten whenever anyone tries to cap anything considering at this moment SoR controls everything on every map apart from 4 camps and a tower.

I’m running Valkyrie’s. With 10 points into Strength for Great Fortitude I have base 30k HP. Maybe you should try half and half? I’m still working on exotics but that’s my 2 cents.

The helmet of this set is really cool looking. However the rest is questionable, especially the shoulder piece with it’s ribbon that clips through my shoulder when I run…

https://dviw3bl0enbyw.cloudfront.net/uploads/forum_attachment/file/2512/gw063.jpg

This is the best screenshot I could find of it online, I’ll have to remember to take some when I get home.

edit: just the helmet in this pic is from the barbaric set, not sure about the rest.
