Guild Wars 2

Think about where a warrior usually stands during a fight (PvE) and think about a RANGE-ers usual position. So mathematics ftl in this case.

I’m not going to go back and forth with you or anyone on this. Rangers need adjusting.
Anet buffed them too much.

I have Ranger and playing WvW is like shooting fish in a barrel. Plus I have at my disposal some of the best survival, lock down, mobility and escape abilities in the game.

Pewp-Pewp not Pew-Pew

Rangers need toning down in WvW they are ridiculous.
Ridiculous regen with troll urgent
1200 lazer of death. Get close? get knocked back start again.
Passive evasion by spamming attack skills on sword dagger.
Fear, kD on pets.
Unrivaled revive potential from pets in down state.

Each class has risk reward kind of balance where Ranger is just reward with no risk at the moment.

They are just over the top. Either buff all other professions or nerf ranger.

HOT will not fix anything. If they knew how to fix WvW they would have patched this game but they can’t and they haven’t. Expect more of the same.

This is a problem for me also. I want to attempt ‘Dancer in the Dark’ but there’s no mote.

The game had 2 years to get balanced and failed. Wait for GW3 and enjoy going through this whole process again.

I’d like to see mechanical versions of the pets that we have for Asura . Clock-work birds , Iron canines, ect.
with Norn ,you could have larger pets with cosmetic differences.

I’ll stop there, but it’d not be that difficult to cater the pets for different races.

I’m not a big supporter of “Nerfing” I’d rather other classes have incremental boosts to achieve balance but since that’s not how Anet operates then this is the best coarse of action.

I have a lvl 80 Warrior that has sat unused for months because of how easy and boring the game play is. You can literally use you face on the key board and succeed.

Oh, if we’re doing this, can I have extra Karma for being economical and not converting mine to gold? BigRollyEyes

Wow! it’s horrible. I think the only way to fix it, is just wipe the slate clean and start again with regards to class skills.
From my experience the game consist of just AOE spam an area and stand in it. Ta-da mission accomplished!. You don’t even need to target and enemy.

I know they’ll be people that played PvP from beta and will most likely be really skilled and knowledgeable and tell me that I’m wrong. This maybe the case in your elite circle but you are minority. People that are casual like me, are a far more substantial majority.

Maybe Anet are targeting the ‘Elite’ minority but that doesn’t sound like good business sense to me. :x

I’ve Just logged out because of this. It takes me 2 seconds to switch a weapon, rubber-banding when trying to walk through Keep doors and enemies porting all over the place while fighting. Sorry but I can have more fun doing something else.

On two occasions out of three Jormag completions I’ve received no reward or chest.
This seems to be in relation to the recent patch, as I didn’t have this problem before.

That picture! lol

I don’t like playing with Focus but find I have to use it to get around WvW. I refuse to kitten my character with stats I don’t want from runes just to get a speed boost. Rune of the Traveler I would happily use because the stats are OK but not at the current price.

I don’t understand the fascination with Tybalt. He was only mildly interesting/amusing because most of the other characters sucked.

That’s very good.

Another one of these threads?

Yes it’s bugged.

Yes the devs know.

No it’s not going to be fixed any time soon because it’s a problem inherent to the pathing code in this game, and would require a massive amount of work.

Well, I guess the skill needs to be changed to one that functions if what you say is true.

Same problem here (Gandara). Can’t enter fractals on my Warrior.

Will this skill ever be fixed?

It would be very nice if a Dev could take a look at this skill and either fix it or change it to have a function that the engine will permit.

I’m no coder and don’t claim to be but from my perspective I see blink work brilliantly with the same sort of parameters of moving player to the desired area yet Illusionary Leap chokes/hiccups and deposits the player 1cm forward. it makes no sense :/

Please Mr/Mrs developer take a look at this skill and work your magic

Thanks.

No it’s not fixed.
It’s the same situation as the “Temporary” measure that they employed and said it was such a great success that they’d roll it out.
In fact, if you followed that thread the majority of people said it was worse. So yea, so much for your great statistical tools that can monitor how many carrots are collected in a particular area or how many Silvary sneeze in a north westerly direction on a Sunday, yet you can’t read a forum thread correctly and get a true representation of peoples feelings on a subject.

oh, I sound a little miffed that’s because I am.

I agree with you OP. Those issues need some improvement.

while it may look awesome from the thief’s point of view in these sorts of videos.
From the other guys perspective they’re fighting the invisible man.

I did some weird things in Guild wars. Like Warrior/necromancer with adrenaline axe skills and “flesh Golem” Elite, which used all my mana to cast :P

I do agree that one of the best aspects of GW as been taken away and it gave you many more hours of entertainment and variety thinking of new builds than a few dungeons or a new area to play in can ever give you.

I get this too with my Nvidia card when I turn post processing off. Happens in WvW with keep walls and supply camp buildings.

WvW used to be a fun past time with some great skirmishes. Then this stupid meta got popular with blobs of people putting EVERY boon up and running around the map like pack-man eating pills.

Maybe you want to slow the blob down using say a ‘Line of Warding’ oh dear that skills useless because the BLOB has permanent stability, not because it was skillfully activated to counteract you and you could respect that if it was the case.

How about stripping the Boons from the blob? yet again that skills useless because the blob puts ALL boons straight back up. 99% of your skills as an individual player are useless. the blob as a counter PRE-applied.

The only way to counter-act the ‘blob’ is become one. This fun? I certainly think not.

I’d like to see this too!

I’d like to play female Ettin Warrior with blonde curly hair to contrast my green complexion.

1: Engine and net-code improvements !

2: Remove PvE (except Hyleks + Ogres) jumping puzzles from WvW.
Keep the various critters and animals for atmosphere but just make them green (un-attack-able)

3: Reward people for doing the jobs that lazy people refuse to do. Like fixing doors ect , throwing siege down and building.

When this match up is over it’s going to take weeks to clean the Piken blood from my armor.

Would be cool if they made a Asura time travel gate in the HOM and when you walk through it, you get transported to GW1.

I get respectable performance in PVE (except loins arch) but WvW the game runs terrible.
We can’t look to Nvidia for a remedy. The games engine like others have pointed out is CPU intensive, throw in some dodgy network code and you get what we have now. I’m hoping for improvement but not holding my breath. They can even fix the AI of Necromancers minions.

I suggest changing this skill to be less effective. I ran into a guild using this in world Vs world and they chained it; It totally shut us down.

Sorry Sylvari, but if you’re on the receiving end of this you’ll see just how awful it is and understand.

Gandara – EU – Eternal battle grounds – unplayable – lag – dead – lag – dead

Ah, So good to know I’m not the only one with problems with Life Transfer.

I’ll try not to mash Fear when downed :P

Using life transfer on occasion I find that it doesn’t channel fully.
Also, some other annoyance I’ve found happening recently is when going into the downed state my Fear is on cool down as though it’s already been used.

Anyone else noticed this or am I going crazy?

I would have liked all sorts of little FIXES not additions tbh but the mere fact they can’t even fix minions this long after release for a class that’s renowned for them is pathetic.
What has happened to this company? Anet was my favorite developer.
They are now pushing for number one spot for worst I’m sorry to say.

Minion AI fix.
Axe range increased to 900.
Reanimator jagged horror dosen’t lose health over time.
Give Necro the best fear in-game! Tired of being embarrassed :/

Gandara.

The sound issue that causes the siren like noise has been more frequent since the last update. I’ve had had this error occur rarely in the past but now I get it every time I play wvw.

I know you are “aware of the issue” but it doesn’t make it any less annoying like the million other bugs you’ve not fixed but are “aware of”.

Regards

Mr.Grumpypants

I find the staff sound annoying as well. I also feel the same about Spatial Surge on my mesmer.

Just logged out in disgust. Trying to play WvW on Gandara is a joke. Skills won’t work, chars rubber-banding all over the place.
Getting tired of this game now especially after the debacle that was called an ‘Event’, yes it was an Event alright.

It’s about time this problem was fixed. It’s been long enough now.

Got the same problem! 3-4 attempts to cast a skill in heated battles.

I have a i5 2500k , 560ti and experience the same problem. The high vs low setting make no difference to the performance. I can turn everything down to a minimum and the game looks like a undefined , blurred monstrosity yet I’ll get the same FPS if I had everything turned up to max.

My skills also stop responding in WvW as well and I need to activate them 4/5 times to get them to work. Apart from the performance issue this is the biggest problem for me in WvW atm.

There’s something wrong with how the game runs on some hardware. I have a i5 2500k , GTX560ti , 8 gigs of ddr3 and suffer some seriously poor frame rates at times. The prominent indicator is when turning graphical settings down it has no effect on the FPS whatsoever. So to me, it seems the game is offloading lots of the work to the CPU instead of utilizing the graphics card to the full potential.
