I really enjoyed 8v8. In a hotjoin 5v5 if a team is losing, some just immediately give up and afk whereas an 8v8 game, the losing team would just look for group fights until the match was over and it was still pretty exciting (from my experiences).
What anet needs to do is remove ranking from solo q, make team q un-soloable, and give a better tutorial. Honestly, the tutorial for pvp is horrendous.
This game needs more non-flamboyant light armour sets. I want anise’s armour and the noble NPC outfit for my Mesmer! Also give me Queen Jennah’s dress while you’re at it! <3
I honestly think number 4, “Make this a channeled skill that pulses AOE damage and boon removal while you hold the sword in the ground” is the worst out of all of them.
Idea 4 just turns us into sitting ducks in all aspects of gw2. No one wants to use great sword for stacked boss fights (I’m not saying I support stacking in pve but hey, that’s how this game pretty much works). In pvp and wvw, being rooted for 3-4 seconds pretty much means you’re dead (Mantras are also similar in this case due to their long cast time). As suggested, the idea will allow us to withdraw prematurely but that would hurt the damage output we have. We have to remember that most mesmers who run great sword are glass cannon in wvw/pvp since it’s our only dps ranged weapon so the 3-4 second root isn’t what we want and on top of that the retaliation on 5x targets with retaliation for 3-4 pulses would eat through our health.
A step in the right direction would be to increase the radius a little (180 range would be good as it still requires skill to hit the enemy) and to make it a blast finisher. Great sword 3 is already a good skill if used correctly (great sword 5 knock back makes it easier for us to use skill 3) but could be easier as the small radius and moving foe makes it for a predicting skill shot and on top of that, mesmers are in desperate need of a reliable blast finisher.
Probably an increased cool-down for the skill (probably 15 seconds instead of 12) would be appropriate for this change. Critical damage has already been nerfed so I don’t think we need a damage nerf for this skill as the radius would still be small. A larger radius than 180 should have the damage reduction as it promotes unskilled play (1v1) but adds up when dealing damage to multiple targets.
It would be hard to release it since Anet will need to create it for other races and gender first.
Anybody wants Frank N. Furter Style for males here ?
Haha! It’s just that previous armour skins on other races were the male version which looks extremely ugly/tacky imo. Hopefully the male counterpart will look just as good as the female version!
It would be hard to release it since Anet will need to create it for other races and gender first. It would be really good if they could provide us with a response to whether or not there are any plans to release this in the future.
I have been hacked about 4 months ago and did get an account reroll but was hacked again for the second time a day ago.
My account was recently compromised yesterday and the email was changed. When I couldn’t log on yesterday I immediately sent a ticket to staff about my account which the staff did reply to. In less than 5 minutes after their second message (I replied to their first answer), I replied to their response, requesting them to disable my account before any serious damage was done but unfortunately did not receive a reply from them until 10 hours later where their action was that my email was changed back along with a password reset and I was able to log back on. Unfortunately due to the late response, the hacker was able to salvage all my character’s equipment and sold everything in my bank, sending the gold elsewhere.
This may seem like my fault at the moment however, my siblings do have their own account and saw the hacker log onto my account 3-4 hours before anet’s action on password reset and email change even though I requested the staff to disable my account which they did not 10 hours ago. During this time they saw my characters in Lion’s Arch stripping armour and weapons to salvage and sell in the trading post and running to and from the bank and tading post. I did check the trading post transactions and the activity was found to be 1 hour before the email restoration and password reset. I specifically requested for the staff to disable my account 5 minutes after the second reply to my ticket (#107837). However they did not disable my account and the hacker used my account during the 10 hour window before I received a response.
I did request for a second account restoration but was refused. I do know that the staff follow the one account, one restoration rule however, why should I be refused a second account reroll due to anet staff’s negligence (did not disable my account at the time of my request)? I feel it is extremely unfair as I did everything I could to save my account valuables.
Anddddddddddddddddddddd I lost (All of us who had the queue box did). I don’t mind but having it recorded in the leaderboards? That’s another story. Sigh.
I just hopped on my mesmer and received my heavy 2.5k AP chest. Once I opened it, I realised that I was under the effects of 50% mf however there is still 4.5 hours remaining on it. I’m not sure where I got this from since all my mf boosters are still in my bank. None of my guild mates have received such a long booster nor have they had an immediate booster applied on them from opening their 2.5k AP chest.
A few games of Tpvp and I’m rank 29. We get put against rank 40+. Even a 50+? I dunno what’s going on in Anet’s kittening mind on how they think it’s fair especially since rank 1 and 2’s somewhat sneak into our team (generally play with 1 or 2 people). -.-" Is it meant to be like that? I don’t mind losing if it’s a fun/close game but losing due to a bunch of bad players on your team… now that’s a different story (We’re talking about 100-500). Cmon Anet, fix this mess up. (rank 1-29 team vs rank 40-55 team… seems fair!)
Very disappointed with the upcoming confusion nerf. It was good for punishing poor players who button mashed everything and don’t bring condition removal in pvp. If you can’t learn to stop for a few seconds or bring condition removal then you deserve to die. So much for staff condition builds. Why even bother with fixing scepter? Torch phantasm is already weak too. This mechanic is already broken in pve, so why ruin it for pvp?
Pretty sure all mesmers will be going with gs and sword/pistol from here on out! Can’t counter time warp anymore due to crap confusion. Next thing you know, time warp will be nerfed for being too OP again. GG
I just did a level 10 run with my guild and from the new update, little chests will spawn on the corpse if the loot is of uncommon rarity. However my two chests contained absolute junk. A porous bone and a basic trident. It’s also strange since I was able to loot a rare weapon from the normal, non-chest corpse loot.
Is it just bad luck or is this a bug? Has anyone else experienced this problem?
EDIT: I have found other corpse chests and they have contained rares and exotics so it’s not bugged in PVE areas. Maybe it’s just Fractals.
