Guild Wars 2

An arrow would be handy for those that want it on the screen, assuming it would remember the state you wanted it in.
As for me, I want rid of that crap permanently.
I know they want to make/keep this game idiot proof, but doing this just because a few folk may forget how to click options & search for the setting or from asking guildies, in /t or /m or /s or someone on friends list, is just bloody awful.

As it is now, I`m stuck with a months worth of chores to grind just to get screen space back.

It`s not like the monthly/daily rewards are even worth the time you need to do these either.

To be honest, you`ve picked a really bad time, what with Anet nerfing every Ele` build lol

Kind of depends on what weapons you use, whether you are a PvE/sPvP or WvWs player, as each can vary (not that we have much variety of use ;p)

But….Do a search on the forums (or google as forum search function isn`t good) for Daphoenix if it is something leaning towards pvp.

If it is sPvP, then the sub forum has live stream links, albeit from what I`ve read there isn`t much happening of late.

Both of the above are just practice & practice some more.

If after PvE, then, erm… not a clue, never done any, good luck though

They seem obsessed with putting more kitten on the screen then ever before, ala…..

They started off fairly well, despite no options to move any of this unlike Guild Wars excellent UI options, then added dailies, monthlies, seasonals, story, shields until clicked etc etc etc

Hey folks.

Can you either set options to move these away from what we need to see, top left, bottom right or better still an “I`m in action do NOT bug me” built into the game?

This is SUCH a kitten in the kitten!

Whilst I don`t any more (bought a G600) I did use to use almost identical to Taugrim binds, works great once used to it.

Fishbait.6723:

Tonic Tuesdays, where players can only fight after using a tonic.

Lol. I read that as Toxic Tuesday and was expecting you to say they can only fight while drunk.

I`ll drink to that…hic!

styx.7294:

I just hit 100 gold and thought I was rich =(

Did that a couple of days before this patch, first time ever felt rich.
Nice of them to force us to spend that on mats that WvWs isn`t dropping :$

40sec is stupid, 30 second just as bad.
Especially as it can bug on blocks, pebbles or someone blinks/stealths soon as they see our huge telegraphed spell.
20 seconds was as lengthy as it should ever of been for the class that is strictly melee only with no weapon swap.

As for the one that said Ele` is top tier in mobility. Wow, how long since you`ve logged on?

My Necro can outrun Ele` & has 1200 range at hand.
My Ranger has 1100 leap every 12 seconds & can weapon swap to hit at 1200-1500 range.
Show me an Ele` that can do that.

I can understand the whack-a-mole nerfs for two of the “pvp” maps, but for anything else it was idiotic, but not remotely surprising after seeing how they “balance” since launch.

Ele’s die sooooooooo easy.

Linking a clip of someone who plays full tank build against noobs, doesn`t stop the nerfs ruining the class for those of us that don`t play full tank.

Seconded.

Zoomed in view is made much worse with the added fuzz stuff that is now on the edge of the screen :$

I flat out hate the downed state camera rotating.
It did it in Guild Wars which was a tad annoying, but at least once you pointed the camera where you wanted it, it stayed there.

on Underworld gets to golem breaking & bugs out, sod all happens.

Cleansing Fire still doesn`t remove the DoTs.

I`ve always said it is down to the clueless noobs who never think once to stun/immob` an Ele` (probably as they only have pewpew spells on their bars) that it should be their problem, not the Ele` players.

But as we`ve seen constantly, anet are catering to the clueless care bears.
Guardian puts out more damage as standard, higher armour & is even tankier.
Thieves….scum of tyria, anet allows them highest mobility, highest damage & stealth.

Sat in borderlands ages ago I saw six or seven puggers of our side trying to get one poor little old d/d ele down, whilst watching from a tower & giggling/cringing, I never once saw any of them use a stun or immobiliser.

Fifteen minutes this went on before I dropped down, stunned it once & they pounced & went to finish the job & they even failed at that lol

But don`t expect them to revert anything.
Look how long it took them to revert EA & even then, only partially.
Even been talk of them nerfing S/? & FGS already.

/facepalmdeskfloor

Or a spy from Anet trying to fix their mistakes/decide what next to nerf?

;)

Ele, then made a Mesmer, back to Ele & then made a Huntard, back to Ele then made a Necro, back to Ele & made thief (which I now refuse to use because of how kittenedly op stealth & damage & mobility is) then made a Guardian, Ele again then a Warrior, Ele again & finally an Engie.

Necro is only used to go EB because easier to zerg then on ele (need those T7 pieces of crap…..)
Engie is solely for roaming, as is Ele, but confirmed my beliefs. Ele is an under powered piece of crap, but still the most fun by far.

Oh great, here we are again…
New month, new forced dailies (pve/pvp) on the top of the screen again.
Followed by monthlies afterwards…..

Tedious UI crap!!!!!

I`ve just witnessed this debacle & my dead gods, does no one ever test this stuff?
Great, we`re second place thanks to the patch & losing loads.
Third place by a mere 1k points gets this event.
They hit camp, first tower. npcs are stupidly powered, cata` with Guardian bubbles?
Champion Dolyak inside the keep, before door is even down?
Champion npc that hits harder then npcs in PvE zones.
Gets laughably worse. Players left map, event npcs still keep attacking everything.
Then three players came back, those plus npcs, plus free cata, free arrow carts etc.. I can`t do sod all.

Welcome to why PTRs should exist…

Stick an On or Off option in settings to accept or decline all duel requests.

The PvErs need never be bothered again.
This way the PvPers get something every other game that exists that has PvP. Hell, even in Terraria you can scrap each other
Duelling in open world could only be a pain as copious amounts of mobs all over the place, so give a small (not too small) arena room (or a few to pick from, not on rotation like that annoying sPvP mess, where players can party group into, something like Aion` Pandemonium arena room.
That place is amazing fun, one of, if not the best, places in any game I`ve spent hours in.

Turkashi.4502:

where did you saw this? Everybody is talking about the nerf on ele, but haven’t see the patch note yet :-s

Video link to it is on second page of..

Mentalhead.5721:

They could add a small “X” to hide the events, and living / personal story, or to minimize it.
In addition, there could be a hotkey, or you can show it when you move your cursor to the right side of the screen.

That`d be best, as anet have said, they have to keep things simple for the simple folk, but here we are again.
Another month of ui stuck top right that doesn`t need to be there.

/siiiiiiiiiiiiigh

To the OP.
Learn to immobilise them, take some of those damage/pewpewspells off of your bar & put something to stop the Ele` going back in.
Job fixed. It`s folk like you that got RTL nerfed to stupid degrees.
Ele` already has to go to back of the tower/keep to open bag, swap weapons, tidy where spare one randomly landed & that`s assuming they`ve waited ten minutes to leave combat (stupid game mechanic gw2 has…)

But hey, if you want to “balance” things, give them weapon swap so they don`t have to come out at all ;p

Ele` downed state is only ever of use near a keep. Rest of the game it`s more of a waste of time.
wtb suicide button…

" They can still come out the fort and kitten up a entire zerg over and over again …."
Because you lot let them!
They can only do it 2 or 4 times & death insta-hits them, they can`t do it at all if you lot learn to stop them getting back in…

But didn`t he say that he`d seen Eles only use 1-2 attunements? I`ll not watch it again, it was far too painful.

I can believe that there may be a few (very few) players that don`t swap, but they should.
It isn`t difficult, not even close, just tedious but sort of fun in a masochistic way at the same time

As for new players, we all were at one point & I`d say most get used to swapping easily enough. I started in beta & knew to swap constantly & I am a 100% pure noob ;p
I don`t pve, so no idea what the players`re like in there, but in the BGs & WvWs, I`ve never once seen an ele sticking to one attunement, not even the lowbie & noob eles.

If he was just making it up as an example/excuse as to why they won`t give hunt…I mean rangers more control over their pets, I think that is just as bad.
Saying that new players won`t use them, shouldn`t stop the regulars having the abilities.

Also completely agree re balance splits.
They boasted they could split pve/bgs & WvWs, it is clear it is well over due & should`ve been done a long time ago.

Warriors zero.

Loooooooooool.

Necro ahs some great ones, just most won`t use spectrals.
Rangers have more then that.
Guardians no idea.
Mesmers definitely have more.

Citizens, citizens, citizens, citizens, citizens, citizens…..

Nobody wants nor needs to hear this every split second.
Got so kittened off with this had to dive into water just to read my mail/quests in peace.

Any chance of making the voices of npcs only talk to the player that activated it?

Calae.1738:

It’s true and will effect all aspects of the game.

40 second cooldown on RTL if no target is hit.

The Warrior, with 8000 more health and 200 more armor has more mobility than an Elementalist. One hand sword has a 600 range leap on a 8 second cooldown. The Greatsword Whirlwind is a 450 range on a 10 second cooldown.

A warrior can leap 1050 range every 10 seconds.
Giving the Warrior 4200 range in 40 seconds.

I would like to congratulate the developers on their ineptness.

They really do flabbergast me all of the time.
I made a Ranger recently (mainly because I get sick of being melee or range, not both) & using Bow/Greatsword I can out run Elementalists a hell of a lot easier, 1100 range every twelve seconds, as it stands now, next change Ele` may as well bend over & say hi :$

Thief can out do us even more so.

I just don`t get where they have had their head stuck all of this time…

mjharrison.3209:

Eles might be fine if you restrict the discussion to a specific build (30 air GC) in the least-played & therefore least-significant part of the game (sPVP). In every other way, Ele is pretty kitten underwhelming:

• conjures still a joke
• glyphs still a joke
• signets still considerably weaker than cantrips
• high arcane, high water still required (noone roams/zergs/GVGs as 30 air GC)
• focus still sucks
• D/D has basically disappeared

Please consider the majority when dropping wtf-bombs like “Ele is OK” as this is sure to further the (noticeably already high) level of resentment of players towards yourselves.

Don`t forget the so called “Elites”.
Also a huge joke.

So here we are, three months later & still no!?
There is so much crap top right now with story, flame & frost, dailies, monthlies, local events that it constantly opens them EVERY time we wp & with there being so many it rarely keeps open one, it chops & changes, having to shrink down any random one.

Seriously?
Bad enough you put this kittened thing in the game at all…
/PTR

FrownyClown.8402:

necro has no stabilty nor escape mechanisms

Shed load of fears, aoe marks from staff/scepter & dagger they can place all over that can slow, bleed, fear the enemy, spectral walk hat breaks stun & even makes for hilarious “I`m clicking again, wtf you lot going enemies?” button.
Spectral walk, which never ceases to amaze me how many times folk`ll just keep faceplanting it.
Hell of a lot better outright damage & dots then ele, but mainly because most ele have to go tankyish just to survive average ramblings.
Several health bars, elites that make ele look like a wet tissue.
All of that & I`ve not even included horn or signet for speed.

Necro are more then capable at escaping, assuming they even want to & not just kill ;p

You`re all forgetting the tournie that anet had, where ten kids played for $10k.
you know, the one where we had to sit in this broken meta for months awaiting for the tournie to be over, the one at PAX ;p

There was an ele player in that match.

True, he had to play on a warrior because of the idiotic whack-a-mole nerfs ele have had for months on end, but at least was an ele player there, in spirit….. ;p

Same old argument though.

Why should RTL be an extended cd on a miss or block when every other profession can move faster over shorter distance & on a lower cd, with no cd increases when they miss?

“Elementalists only use one attunement, fire” J.Sharp 2013

LOL!

Is….. Is he kidding? Please tell me that was a joke……. Please…

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/elementalist/SOTG-6-9-2013/first#post2790231

& yet my ranger can leap 1100 every 12 seconds & also has range/melee options, range giving another 1200-1500 targetting. (also a pet that out ranges that by miles, literally ;p)
My Necro could outrun Ele` easily before with Spectral & speed signet & also has range 1200 & melee swap. Now it can even more so.
Warriors the same, actually think even faster.
Thieves are fastest in game & also have ranged/melee swap & high damage output.

Ele` has melee Or range, if using D/D you`re now at 40 seccond cd if anyone blinks, dodges, blocks, moves to one side & the pathing says kitten it, let`s head to some wall etc because let`s face it, RTL is the biggest telegraphed spell in the game.

Not everyone used it for escape, but why shouldn`t they?
Lowest hp isn`t always made up for what once were great heals.

Some of us used it to catch up with anyone & their gran that could kite, because, you guessed it, no range ;p

40 seconds I bet was put in because of spiritwatch, but even in there it bugs out so much it has kittened us over….

I`ve seen six players go against a ranger in bay once, it died (downed state..) obviously, but once it was downed, even with all six going pewpew, the pet just healed it.
Used to think it was bugs, but made a ranger & even on land pet heals is kittenedly op.

google.3709:

you can go 0 0 10 30 30 and have more damage, than ranger, necro or engineers, more survival/heals than a bunker, and the escape ability that theif are suppose to have!!

You`re too early for April fools day.
What? You weren`t serious were you?
Anyone using 0/0/10/30/30 or the more popular 0/10/0/30/30 is not going to have more damage then anyone, unless that other person is afk picking their nose.
As for the escape ability that Thief is meant to have, Thief do have better escape abilities.

I also hope they`re going to look properly into helping other specs, rather then nerfing the most popular build, but doubt it..

esport where the main winner, will win because of “Ah crap, I moved camera & lost target, AGAIN!”

There`re sooo many things that will never make this game an esport, yet very little is being done about things…

Buy the game, link accounts you get three points just for doing that.
Then play the game, it is a superior game to gw2, enjoy.

Jabberwock.9014:

Still waiting on PvE/WvW rtl cooldown rollback. Honestly it’s almost ok in sPvP (should reduce to 35s long cooldown and make it so blocks don’t put it on long cooldown) but one of the reasons I chose ele in the beginning of the game was because of fast roaming with 12s rtl cooldown. Back then I wouldn’t have even fathomed a four-fold increase in cooldown, but here we are.

When they mentioned RTL mass nerf during SOTG (think it was that stream) they were directly asked if it would double the cd if blocked on guardians etc.
After some stammering & blank looks, they said that blocks wouldn`t double the cd.

By the looks of them, they hadn`t even put any thought into this & as it has been ages since the mass nerfage without any word from them, I wouldn`t expect any “fix” any time soon :$

When you watch the lives stream in hope of some real fixes & they mention the new chef recipe that “is perfect for Elementalists…” available only from BLTC chests, & then realise you`re playing a pay2win class…

When you watch another live stream where they say they`re going to talk all about ele spells & how to use them, only to see some dumb dev sit there & read tooltips….

When you see loads whining that they can`t stop eles, yet they refuse to equip stuns/immobs on their bars & then rightfully predict that anet would nerf ele to cater to the care bears crowd…

When you finally see a list of changes, but they`re to conjures, which take up a slot that no elementalist in their right mind would ever consider wasting their time with….

When you spend months awaiting a balance patch so that you can return to the bgs, only to be given “fluff” patch note changes….

When you sigh with relief like I did today after TPing load of lowbie mats, sending higher mats to some I met in gw2 & Guild Wars, knowing that in a day or three it`ll get uninstalled & I`ll never have to tolerate this games joke of a balance team ever again

When you wish the remaining Eles best of luck, but knowingly doubt they`ll ever get what they deserved months ago & even as far back as beta.

Clicking on the border you want to enter, then clicking “Enter…” should let you enter, rather then popping up a list of the maps yet again before you can click to enter.

Offense meant, but rangers, warriors, mesmers (via portal), thieves via any button & even necro are slightly faster then ele & none of them have to go tank build to survive the average damage thrown about.

btw, did anyone watch the Mist league (think it was that tounament)? Well worth a watch on twitch, great casting team.
Anyhoe….
Zoose was in there running S/D & yes, he did have some fairly decent damage, but he also spent a hell of a lot of time either in vapour form or dead.

It doesn`t matter that ele` finally has another version of semi-gc build, if they`ve used their dodge, they`re critter fodder regardless of how good they are.

As for no reason not to run a burst thief, seriously? Thief damage is higher then any other class & combined with perma-stealth, even an average thief can waste several other players time trying to guess where they are.

Another one of Mist League` streams, showed one thief at mine (gold mine/AB??? ;p) just shadow stepping, stealthing etc constantly to kittened extents.

I concur, they do need an ele or three on this stream, but as we`ve all seen in the past streams, even when Grouch et al do ask serious questions, Sharp & other anet devs just fob them off with ummms & erms at best.

“State of the Game going live at 1PM Pacific (20:00 GMT) with Jonathan “Chaplan” Sharp and Josh “Grouch” Davis"

Let`s see what excuses that have this time

http://www.twitch.tv/guildwars2guru

I read the patch ntoes, that didn`t mention sod all about making it scaleable like it used to be.

lol & with the new WvWs league, you can bet it`ll be nothing but ZvD & no one will defend any more.

boosters.

Any chance of these being sellable on the trading post?
I don`t use any of these, they don`t sit in a collectible slot (unlike pvp glory) so are just mere bag spaces wasted.

Same goes for copper pick, axe etc. Zero use for these, either TP`able or vendorable.

Making city /mapchat cross all cities would help.
I prefer BC to any others, but it`s a ghost town, even in chat & this could change that.

Faux.1937:

GW1 HUD best Ive seen in any MMO (not game but MMO) and they should have kept it that way, It was the very 1st thing I did when i got the game and I sent 20+ emails to them about it b.c it is a very important feature IMO that should have been added from the start.

^ this a thousand times.
If they remain adamant they don`t want us using mods, they have to make the ui alterable by default.
Every bit of it, not just 1-3 pieces.

Walks past water cooler: “An ele killed me earlier, took a minute”
reply: “Don`t worry, we`ll have more nerfs inc”

Day later same dev walks past cooler:
“Meh, a thief killed me, took 1-2 seconds”
Reply “lol l2pnoob”
grabs a donut

;)

Met plenty of fine enemy folk in wvws that I`ve had chats/duels etc with, so nope.

Better idea, when invite pops up, add accept/deny/block or automatic block after a few invites in a short time.
