Guild Wars 2

Thank you very much
Cheers

Mortar is bugged, ppl (including me) can’t end Mawdrey

As someone who like to pug solo, duo or trio in teamQ I would like to know other people opinion on: what would be nice to do in 1,5 minute before match?

The two ideas ideas I have are:
- “/rank” – let other people know hom much time you invested so they can at least assume what you are capable of in the match (I know that rank can be farmed, it can be achieved on other class mostly but still – it can give other people hope that you undestand game mechanics and have basic idea about rotations, grouping, defending and not feeding enemy team free kill)
- “<close / <far / <mid” – state your expected split so other people can react to it and adjust theirs ideas and Game Opening Gambit (GOG)
- " <dps <semitank <decaper <closepointdefender " – give teammates info about your team role and what you will try to achieve through the game

Any other ideas than can be implemented in 1min 30sec, enrich our gameplay and lead to a stunning victory? What would you do? What would you like for other people to do?

^I get what you saying but the disproportion is too big. One of the is eaaaasy and other is quite hard to pull off.

It hurts my eyes to see a 1/4 cast time on this heal (Defiant stance) – there is no counter play to that. With this heal you can choose which oponent skill you want to give you 100% dmg->life (and most skills have much longer cast time). I won’t even mention group fight when it’s hard to see – team can’t even communicate in time to stop attacking for this 3s seconds so he wouldn’t end up with full heal.
This would be great on guard – becaus you would need to control your boons and not use it together with protection, and why it look similiar to shelter in a way (oponent doesn’t want to attack you in this time) this one would be more offensive as it would be meditation and allowed you to apply some burst without worrying to be bursted down in the process.
On the other hand – Lithany has 1s cast time! Obvious animation as any other heal, and it’s only 20% of the dmg.
Hom much dmg can you do on guard on steady target? Now try on moving NPC in the mists – guardians can’t lock down people and have 6s of easy dmg on target. One dodge and swiftnes is all that will make this heal wasted.

Maybe more “symmetry” in ballance approach would be better – Litany of Wrath – 1/2s cast time, 100% dmg done comes back as heal – 3s – high risk, high reward – and Dev could add even clearer animation – Guardian would be all glowy and shiny for the whole 3s, just like the new achievment armor skins.

@perko
Bringing something OP down by 8% it’s not even close to making a HalfGod from God – and even then, they would both just stomp mortals.
I guess it’s easier to do your homework when you lack objectivity.
Do us a favor and maybe buy some objectivity in nearest shop beforu you post.

What’s the balance reasoning for giving Litany of Wrath to Guardian and Defiant Stance to Warrior. Maybe somebody messed up and its just a mistake?!
Comparing cast time and heling % per dmg taken/done just looks like bad joke.
Even the pure comparison of mechanic seam odd: Warriors makes more dmg – so why not give Litany to them?

@Meglobob

Maybe you were figting NPC in the heart of the mist?
Try some more high end pvp – I play a guardian mainly and can’t get enought cleanses to get rid of all the confusion all the time (let’s remember about other condis). If you play mesmer you cann’t get rid of it all easier that all other people who are seeing problem here because mesmers have poor condi removal if I’m correct; as long as confusion will prock on auto attack this will be one of the most hated and unfun conditions to play against.

What would you people think about this: what if confusion would prock only on all utility skills and weapon attacks with double damage but not prock on auto attack?

What a shame
Q.Q

Does Birthday Boster gives bonus rank points in spvp?
Did it always gave bonus rank points (maybe some bug in description) or maybe only glory?
Will it give now (with the removal of glory) or after the Future Patch, bonus rank points in spvp?

Keg Brawl in the Mists plz

Plz…
Don’t do it.
Don’t put Perplexity into sPvP or just bring it to be in par with ther runes – like Rune of Fear for example.
Rune should complement build if I’m correct – not MAKE a build or even shape whole meta – this rune for sure will…
Q.Q

This is strange – how can Jewel in Amulat be confusing?!
Espiecially with new and beautifull PvP panel! (wink GJ Evan ^^) If you put Jewel next to Amulet it will be clear in a second what is what. (Ooo great Lesh Prince, make it happen plz!)
Does somebody made IQ test of average GW2 player? Did it went so bad as lower than 90 or 80?! Come on!
Removing Jewels and locking stats with trait lines (that people choose becaus of skill and not stats – as some of people mentioned earlier) is just pigeonholing build.

Just look at this:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vUAQBYCITBAAgpAAAueAAAAA-TgAgzCmIySllLLTWyssZB
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vUAQBYCITBAAgpAAAueAAAAA-TgAgzCoIySllLLTWyssZB
Take a look at stats – 4% to 8% crit chance. 100% more chance to crit than before – this changes whole game so much with minor traits like Selfless Daring – without Jewel for me its making this build almost disqusting – lower HP and almost no crit, and why? Because of some people IQ…

Sorry about my english, it’s not my native language and this topic makes my blood boil.

^ as xFx said – don’t put empty word’s – “I play guardian, and guardians are good”.

Put on link to a build, make comparison to other dps – ele or thief, and explain how a dps guard isn’t a YOLO choice for teamQ.

IMHO only AH bunker with staff is currently on par with other classes chees/meta builds. Probable becaus there is bug with AH and Emporing might on staff. Short after Selfless Daring was ninja nerfed without any mention in path notes (the heal was cut in half) Staff Guard left as only viable tank allowing to throw some good support, heal and AoE stability. Sadly, it’s just another build that promotes repeating some patter to be most effective: dodge, dodge, EM, run like chiken with SoS, dodge, dodge, EM and so on.
Guardian is pigeonholed in to one meta build and 2 or semi viable DPS/offtank specs that require hell of a experience to pull off – not some passive AutowinWhenYouHaveHalfABrain classes

^ That’s a valid concern, but it still make at least a little at ease that some of them play.
I hope more of them would (all people involved in balance would be nice) and for it to be more in spot light.

@Devs
Maybe you can stream some of your matches? …even posting some vids with music without voice comm would be nice to see how you guys play your own game and made community more calm becaus they would understand that you guys know what you are doing.

PS. More love for EU from Devs plz ^^

Sooo… it looks like Dev quietly teamQ and soloQ and can stomp some people caugh*OnNA*caugh ^^ …but where in this mix is our balance God Karl?

PS. The “NA” thing is a joke for those who didn’t get it, don’t get worked out over it.

@Ally
^ remember to record it
I would love to see the “rage train” that runs on whole map or camp spawn and lose the whole game
In soloQ – I get it, devs are like fresh meet and the hungry hienas (community) just want it
Thats why team made of Devs would be perfect – you can’t choose only one Dev to target, this would be normal match.
Even pug team in teamQ wants to win (soloQ isn’t as serious as teamQ imo) – I doubt that they would run after you whole game “just because” (I wouldn’t sacrifice a game just to get one or two kills on Dev). If they still would focus you this means:
a) you are playing as the weakest link in team – easies to dispose off
b) your profession is a threat – they need to dispose off you
So if they focus you – deal with it; if you can’t – think about rebalancing this class.

That’s the whole purpouse of Devs playing the game

Justin ODell.9517:

Solo Arena:

• Hugh, 178
• Roy, 272,
• Evan, 428,
• Grouch, 876

Team Arena:

• Grouch, 67
• Roy, 309,
• Allie, 353 (wut?)
• Tyler B, 92%
• Hugh, 91%,
• Evan, 91%

Nice stats – but as saw Allie playing with GF she didn’t have a tag. People would aprecieate if they would see dev playings they game.

Iason Evan.3806:

IDK. This mentality of “us vs. them” is pretty bad. Also, calling out the devs because you think they are inferior players is lame too.

My bad, maybe I made opening not clear enough and got carried with the excitement about the idea.
The main purpose in my mind was cool PR stunt that would help realize people that dev know they game and there is meaning behind every change they made – not some “dry” theorycrafting ideas and skill new skills or traits that will lock cool and bring more people to spvp becaus they would be OP. Community as it is mainly don’t know about this and have pretty horrible ideas in that matter.

@Justn ODell
Those team arena stats – are they only from NA ?
It would be nice if the NA share Devs with us in EU
Don’t hug them all to your self!

Guys – don’t write about stomps, be nice
Bump, show your suport if you want to see more Devs playing – thats all.

Peace

“…our mid is neut, shyt! How that happen?…”

Entertaining stuff.
Gratz Ally on r20 yeah, keep it comming

@ArrDee
Don’t you think letting THEM play by themselves they would learn a lot more and be more objective about the game than some high level players that can hate other professions that they don’t play or don’t like play against?

Rezz.8019:

Also, keep in mind that not all traits are just for pvp. Some of the more focused towards pve and wvw.

Sure sure, I believie that we can tell what change was designated for spvp purpose and which not (most of the time) but…

“People still say most of them is trash
So let them (with Devs) clash”
Gw2 Haiku by Mr Mooo

This should be great for they PR if they would try something like this.
You don’t need to be pro to win few matches, but I wonder if they would get even a chance, after two weeks of playing – against random team from 95% leaderboard marker.

I would love to see some streams from players playing against them and what strat would they play against decap engi, or what OP builds would they use.

Bump if you want to see Devs playing. I hope they accept the challenge and show some cojones.

Some ppl say that when a Hidden Killer meet a Stone Heart in combat…. the whole server will crash!
I wonder how they will solve this – one side for sure wont the happy by the outcome.

@Pride
Dev showed all of them yesterday in the READY UP stream.
Look them up and write what you think about the rest

After reading Dev answers in community post about balance and how they try to defend they balance philosophy I thought how awesome it would be to see them in teamQ playing as a Dev team with they fancy new traits and builds!

I suppose it would be good for both sides – community wouldn’t whine so much after getting OWN by the new fancy builds and the DEV would learn something about their own game (especially what isn’t funny to play against).

If the spvp and skill and balance team would give 5 men team a 3h run every second day in tpvp (one day NA and the next for EU servers) this would be the best thing ever!

How do you think – can we see soon some devs in TOP 1000 !?

“Combat Mode” looks nice on those vids ^, also what a guy said in them about AOE targeting sounds great. Maybe Anet can give him a job?

1. Access to evade/dodge – to much, to often
2. Skill cooldowns – some classes spam to much, no risk/reward for using skills, just spam spam spam spam
3. Rewards (in game as whole, we dont get anything in www or pve for playing spvp)

Good evader?
Is there any way to say that spammy thief (btw – interesting that the first and most raging about this whole thread is player that probably main thief : “Now with 100% more Devourer’s Venom” that the reason I used thief as ex. but rangers are in the same group and partly elementalists with consta vigor) is good evader? If dodge would be only evade mechanic in the game then we are talking.
Now it’s evade spam against skill spam – good luck

From my point of view it looks like you need to always run as far as you can, becaus jumping to early slows you down and the blowout effect catches you mid air.
Don’t believe in this “trigerring moving back blah blah…” from developers twitch stream, go straight and pass one before last stone witch one jump (I think its important).
If you want you can catch me in game and I can show you.

Question to those who tried tribulation mode few time for many skins:
Did you get your Z-3 item after last boss fight?

I tried to defeat King Toad second time for my second green-y weapon and… I didn’t get the reward. I did get Z-1 and Z-2 from previous zones.

Is it normal? Maybe there is some kind of a timer?

Guardian has a borring role to play, so they don’t get to do any flashy action, they need to help team and stand on point – working in shadows, taking contidions from alies, giving them prot when they need it or resing (actually only the resing can be a visible and recognized action play that ppl can hype about). If u are guardian in heart – u know who is good ^^

@kaplis

standing ovation! Nothing more to add here

Just this…

^^
Show this thread to any spvp friend that is down, blue, sad – after that there are two possibilities:
- he will rotfl for a half an hour
- he will log off and uninstal guild wars2
…any way, I hope most of u will enjoy like I did.

If u are using carma buster or crafting buster and go to pvp – the buster still stays in on yours char. I guess is, that maybe it wasn’t intentional.
The question is – does it rly upgrades stats in pvp match? Maybe it’s just not working in the mist? Can somebody test that?

I saw ppl with minis.
If u want to keep repeting: “PvE vanity items” just tell me – how Chauncey von Snuffles III is a PvE only item?
Does NPC or Mobs tell u – Ohhh! What a cute cat!
Mist i full of real players, go there and look for Quaggan back pack – u will find them without problem… OMG! Maybe we should ban them becaus they us PvE items?! :O

Make a valid point plz, if u dont see something it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happens – u want egz. on that?

Why for egz. u think that Chauncey von Snuffles III is a PvE only item?
Make stuff tradable for glory and there wont be a problem.

Come on dude – whats your angle?
PvPer wants to enjoi other parts of the game with friends but cant spend time farming dungeons to get some decent gear etc.
Slots are needed becaus pvpers play more classes than average PvE players becaus its easier in the mists.
WvW is a pvp game – why cant ppl playing spvp enyoi this part of the game to? We cant show our skills to noob zergs becaus they outgear us hard.
If u dont have any valid point to state that pve and pvp should be totally separate dont be a “gardener’s dog” and dont ruin other players experience.
And the check skins are only PvE stuff? Do they unlock dungeons? Do they give u some stats? Come on…

+1 great idea
I was rly surprised and disappointed when i could sell my unidentified dyes on TP

I would love to have at least choice to get laurel from daily pvp or daily pve.

ANET, make both gave Laurel od make it possible to choose how do you want to get it.
PvP players always get the short end of the stick.

I bet ANET will say that this is against they policy of playing together – this tool would give players something that they can argue about or even ditch fast weaker players becaus they stats arent high enough. But…

I would love to see those stats at then end of the game. If u could see only your stats it would really help with improving gameplay, builds and overally making the game a bit more interesting and clear.

I feel u bro.
Maybe they should implenet additional glory gain (maybe even 1 glory) for each 5 sec spent on the captured point?
Maybe somebody will throw better idea?

It’s kind of weird how spvp is in the background of other game modes.
Yet another egz. how www and pve take top prior atm.
Sad…

Rly good idea.
I’m signing up to this.

Maybe custome arena can solve this?

With comunity driven events & tourneys – maybe something like a tourney where nobody can have cleric, shaman, valkyrie or soldier amulet?

Wouldn’t it be pretty interesting if u can put such condition on participating teams??

Omg… good to know, i noticed that something isn’t right but this…
Maybe january patch will take care of it?

I hope Anet is looking close to this post, i will chip in to.

My idea is quite simple – change only one thing in ele: healing multiplier on every water speal. Leave the signet healing as it is, maybe even dont touch the condi removal but tune down the multiplier on water healing to about 0.5 and see what happens. Maybe they will need some tweaking later, bumping a it a bit – but i think that everything can be done by tweaking water attunement spells healing, and other than that – ele is good as it is.

Its very interesting class, but right now it a bit over the top in comparison to other classes.

I think this whole post can be solved here:
http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/
Just pick a class and look at the 1st skill dmg. I think that thief sword 3rd chain hit wins with 317 dmg, even if warriors hammers does 321 with 3rd chain hit but… it so kitten slow
I was surprised when i saw necro dagger dmg, rly nice.
Phira – necro DS 1 spamd has 341, what wuold make it stronger, but then we should count warriors transformation RAMPAGE witch 545! 1 spam!! crazy dmg

And I’m one and only asura guardian!! yeay

Follidus would like to add:

“I’m going to exclude the “paid tournament” section to people that are on the QP ladder at the time that they ask to be on the list. If you’re not on it, then I think it’s fair to say you’re not that experienced with paid tournaments. Sorry if this offends you.

I wanted to split the groups into NA and EU because there’s different trends on each region. This isn’t to say one is better than the other, but what works on one region might not work well on the other. I would suggest looking for advice from people on your own region first, and then checking out the other region next.

Rules:

1. You are not trolling. I know you’re original and absolutely hilarious. I know I can’t stop you, and this game is complete kitten, but hear me out: lets try to grow the community by helping out new players so they don’t quit when they die to a hundred blades warrior.

2. You genuinely want to help, and will respond to people when they ask for help. If you want to try and later don’t like all the PMs you get, I can always take you off the list. It’s not a big deal.

3. You can be in more than one category, it’s perfectly ok!

4. Be nice to people when they ask questions. You’re on this list because you want to help. This should be obvious!

5. You don’t have to be new to ask for advice! When we all succeed, we all succeed more.

6. Mandatory Fun.

*If you want to be added, please tell me what sections you want to be added to. be clear about it, don’t just say “add me to guardian.” At least say “NA 8v8 Hotjoin Guardian”

Using this list to it’s full potential

I wanted to give some advice to people looking for help.

1. It’s ok to message multiple people in the same category, in fact I encourage it! Getting different perspectives on strategies/builds/etc is always helpful! However I don’t suggest you mix and match things if you’re just starting out! That should be done only when you’ve gotten more experience under your belt!

2. People afk a lot and leave guild wars running. I’m guilty of it too. Because of this, not everyone will be able to reply to you right away. The same goes for when someone is in a game playing! You are not being ignored! The people on this list are people that asked to be on the list because they want to help people like YOU! If you’re not getting any response back, try sending a message again. Maybe an hour later, or the next time you see the person online. Don’t spam people! Be patient!"

GL

Rly great ideas! I love it.

And if passive 15% to the Virtue is to much, let it prok speed buf for 5 sec like lavra said – and make it a 15% passive buff if u take some MASTER trait
Watch u all think about that?
