Guild Wars 2

I’d love to see more non-Gem Store armor. You know, stuff we could earn through playing the game.

It was nearly impossible before to make money and still a hard grind because you had to farm boring champ trains over and over zzzzz or dungeons over and over. But at least, if you needed, you could do so.

However, now you can only get one chest per day in dungeons? What a load of rubbish!

Not only are the chests daily, but the drop rates have been hammered too! Don’t see that in the notes, but it is a fact. I used to do a dungeon and come out with 3-5 rares, now I don’t get any! It’s blues all the way with the occasional green.

The loot chests have been ruined and the loot you get from said chests when they are there is just a joke.

PvE is officially kitten and worthless now. You’ve ruined the DPS, you’ve ruined the rewards, and you’ve bugged it all.

this info when bosses spawn and where have to be ingame and not on a website

So I supported ferocity. A 10% reduction would likely offer a more balanced gameplay and lead to less flash fights in wvw. However, I sure as kitten don’t support a 33% reduction and that’s what a lot of us got. I am a balanced build necro mostly in wvw.

They claim this is to nerf zerk sets, but zerk actually received the lightest reduction. Here are some examples from my build:

• Stonecleaver Spire (basically zerk nerf): 10% -> 134f (9%). Ok, there’s your 10% reduction.

• Bud of Pale Tree: 9% -> 85f (5.6%). Whoa, that’s a 37% reduction guys…your math is falling apart.

• Bagh Nakh: 8% -> 68f (4.5%). Whaaaaa….That’s a 43.5% reduction. WTF!?

These aren’t even the celestial pieces you noted you’d be screwing over, yet these are just as bad. C’mon anet, I hear you can hire a 3rd grade tutor for your employees for fractions of what a college class costs.

But here’s the clincher. It would have been hard for them to mention each individual piece, but every class has a crit damage tree. How the frell did you neglect to mention that every single class in the game was getting a 33% reduction on their crit damage from trait trees? 30% -> 300f (20%).

I was looking forward to this patch. I don’t have time for more than one class, but since you completely broke my build I’m logging possibly permanently if you want to stick with these changes. I’m a frelling level 55 downlevel necro running around in wvw now. And I sure as hell am not taking 3 months to build another ascended set after I’m almost done with my current one. I’m sure you’d break that one just as I finish since you’re all about massive patches now…

WTF blizzard…I mean anet? If I wanted a cycle of being nerfed into oblivion then buffed to complete imbalance I could play WoW…

This new trait system is perhaps the most frustrating part of the patch. I have 9 level 80 alts. I am stuck at either spending 900 skill points and 135 gold. Or I have to kill priestess of Lyssa 9 times, Karka queen 9 times, priest of Grenth 9 times, high wizard 9 times. I have to zerg endlessly to get traits that before I was able to get automatically?

This is an improvement? Forget it, I am not wasting my time on this, I’ve already experienced those parts of the game and found lacking. I don’t want to do it over and over and over again just to unlock basic functionality on my characters. And if I can’t do that, why even play.

This patch is leaving a bad taste in my mouth.

I already made a topic about this, but I guess I should’ve posted in here instead:

They new wardrobe system is great, but it has inadvertently (or perhaps deliberately) removed the only affordable method of extracting runes from otherwise unsalvageable temple karma armor. Previously we could transmute the rune into a set of armor that can be salvaged, then salvage that to get the rune, which contributed to the 6g~7g price tag of most temple runes we see on the market today; now, however, the only option is to buy a single use upgrade extractor for 250 gems (at the time of this post that would cost a whopping 28g), so once the current supply of runes run out we’re going to see the price quadruple (if anyone bothers extracting and selling it at all, that is).

Please either make karma armor salvageable or slash the price of upgrade extractors to something reasonable like 30 gems (5 for 150 gems, same pricing as transmutation charges).

And from the opposite perspective, I only have 2 WvW and 2 sPvP options? I’m generally a carebear, but this hardly seems fair.

I noticed that too. I hope it’s a bug.

I feel like the number of daily achievements are super low considering that sPvP got added into the mix. Now I only have a choice of 6 non-WvW, non-sPvP dailies? That really sucks. What happened to daily gather being one every. Single. Day.

This isn’t a real problem but I think all starter gear skins should be unlocked.
I mean seriously it’s not hard to make up to 24 new characters that exist only for 1 min each just to unlock all of them. However is it really a good idea to use such methods just to unlock some crappy skins?

Not sure if worth it. 3 of them behind temple events, and one is some wreck somewhere in Sea of Sorrows?! Or i can burn 12 gold and 80 skill points…

Not sure if this was an improvement over the old system…

The way you make your argument is very unprofessional and immature. Using capitals to make a point? Improper grammar? Acting like you’re shouting?
Maybe reformat your suggestion into a more mature format, and it’ll be taken with some consideration.

FRACTALS OF THE MISTS

• Harpy fractal (One thing about the harpy fractal. Traited focus is great for 90% of it. The mid point golem fight requires an untraited focus. I believe it is the only skill that can currently negate is spinning poison spread. The traited focus doesn’t seem to work.)

• Fractals (Grawl) Endboss’ Agony Arrow
• Fractals (Dredge + Dredgeboss) Bombs (I think you just destroy the bombs instead of reflecting them)
• Fractals (Swamp) Mossman’s Axe/Bloomhungers Shockwave
• First archdiviner in cliffside fractal has an attack that can be reflected where he spins around A note about the archdiviner. Sometimes when reflecting ( or not, I haven’t been able to figure out what on earth is really happening) you can get hit with a LOT of damage from an attack called ‘ring of warding’. Just something to watch out for.
  Ring of Warding is the projectile attack that you “should” be able to reflect. It appears that even if you reflect it with feedback, and see him take 6 8k crits, the ability pierces through and can still hit the player. Since the damage is the same as if a bolt hits the player, I assume this is the case. Usually, this happens when I feedback at the moment he is doing it, whereas I am never hit if there is a good 2-second window where he is in the bubble.
• Cliffside: For the arm seals, many of the trash mobs have a reflectable attack within feedback.
• Ascalon: The archers and mages have reflectable attacks.
• RANGED DREDGE EVERYWHERE
• Jade maw fractal: the squid mobs have a charged up knockdown attack that can be reflected.
• Ascalon fractal: when the final boss is in the firey greatsword stage, his standing still autoattack can be reflected for upwards of 25k damage.
• Grawl fractal first boss: he uses a projectile burning attack that can be nicely reflected.

ASCALON CATACOMBS

• AC p3 boss has an attack similar to the effigy which can be knocked back
• AC path 2 final boss: the ghost eater uses a frontal cone aoe that is similar to risen elementalists, except it also applies bleeding and cripple. Chaining reflects will kill him incredibly quickly.

TWILIGHT ARBOR

• Up/Up first spider boss and second spider boss: both use projectile attacks. First spider boss will receive 5x increased damage if you are poisoned. Same effect with champ spiders in arah.
• Lavaelementals can be reflectet to not hit the Ooze
• Sparki’s projectiles ignore reflections/destructions(Smoke Screen tested) (didn’t test untraited focus)
• Slick’s shots can be destroyed but not reflected
• Endboss’ AoE (Tools and Gears) can be reflected

CRUCIBLE OF ETERNITY

• COE golem primes itself to fire a red projectile which can be reflected for like 20k
• Icebrood Elementals

HONOR OF THE WAVES

• first legendary boss in hotw p1 has a projectile attack that can be reflected
• Most of the HotW stuff is projectiles based, story included. Final bosses rom explorables are excluded, since 2 of them are underwater and the one from path 1 has more aoe attacks than projectiles.

CAUDECUS MANOR

• When in doubt, reflect. You’ll probably hit something.
• Also in Caudecus story there’s a lot of projectiles. I remember that the final boss in story mode is a ranger, which didn’t touch me anytime thanks to iWardens and temporal Curtain.

CITADEL OF FLAME

• COF effigy has an attack where it slams its fist in to the ground which fires five projectiles that can be reflected for around 50k

ARAH

• Risen Elementalist in Arah basically kills itself on Wardens (he takes about 30% per blade volley).
• Alphard, Serpent of the Waves can be completely shut down.
• Orrian Turrets can be easily killed with any reflect skill.
• Wraithlord’s Mage can be totally shut down, just like Alphard.
• In addition to what was mentioned, mages use a projectile that reflects for about 10k. Hunters are by far the best, as they use a bouncing projectile that reflects for about 10k-12k and bounces around decimating everything. You can also reflect the poison spray from the orrian drakes, this will do a ton of damage to them.
• Lupicus’ aoe attack in p2 can be reflected, but you have to actually be inside feedback for it. I will trait mender’s feedback, stand next to a downed ally, and wait to revive them jus as lupicus uses the aoes. Additionally, in p3 the attack with a large red circle right in front of him where he sprays the ground with green stuff can be reflected for massive damage.

- Legendary Jotun Stargazer of path 1, feedback can be used to reflect his main attack instead of needing reflecting crystals.

SORROWS EMBRACE

• Prototype golems in sorrow’s embrace p1 can be decimated by reflects very quickly.

Can we get some more armor skins that you can obtain through actual gameplay rather than swiping your credit card before we come up with some grand scheme for Legendary armor?

That’d be great.

Title says it all…
I want to buy an Endless Bobble Head Tonic!!!!

Turn signet passives into pseudo-traits triggered by active skill use and/or unique actions/circumstances.

Be creative and improve current signet functionalities (buff the underpowered; nerf the overpowered; functionally changed the outright broken/boring).

Suddenly you have a load of new, mechanics and skills that can be dumped into the meta.

Not every signet is listed here because I didn’t have changes/solutions for some of them and I didn’t care enough to come up with those changes.

A position so powerfully put, so compellingly framed, so eloquently stated that we know the Devs will have no choice but to capitulate completely and do as you say (like drooling zombies).

…Unless we band together and ignore it until it slides of the front page.

Fellow Engineers,
Our class has been the subject of debate over power, utility and general usefulness. There is a great concern that our peer classes have a much higher team potential but at the same time a growing support has sprouted withing the community. My goal is to strengthen this support and increase our ranks. With that being said I’d like to address one of the major issues concerning our role in the game.
Engineers are unique. We have an array of tools that help with team support, DPS, and even front line aggro holders. The term “Jack of all Trades” comes to mind, however this is not entirely true. We have flaws, big flaws even which limit our capabilities. Do not take this as a bad thing. If the game wasn’t balanced it would be no fun. Our true potential however, comes from the creativity of our own minds.
I cannot express enough to experiment with every nook and cranny of this class. You never know what niche you may find for yourself. For an example; one of my favorite builds is a support bomb build that stacks might and vulnerability while simultaneously healing harder than any guardian I’ve ever encountered. This is just one example, and there are many many more builds that work well. That’s the beauty of this class. I could spend hours explaining the ins and outs of every trait, ability, synergies or play style but, this is not my major point.
The only drawback to this class is that it does have a bit of a learning curve. It takes time and most of all patience to figure out what you like best and how to play it. Fear not, as the rewards are far greater than the investment.
In conclusion, I offer a challenge to beginners and veterans alike to show their support for possibly one of the most fun classes in the game. Please feel free to message me here or in game if you are looking for help, or hold concerns. I have done extensive research and would love to share my resources with you.

^^ I Posted about it first, yet i was merged, such madness! ^^

This was so needed, PvE it’s going to live again!

I have no more words, this is one mega change for the better! As a PvE player, this is my favorite feature that is coming on the 15th.

hypes!

One some things ANet needs to get right is:
- Guilds. If 2 guild mates from 2 different servers enter the same map, as the system goes, it says they will be put together, if they are playing together, they should contribute influence globally to the guild, same with missions.
If the servers are going Mega-Servers, there is no sense anymore on the guild influence per-server restrictions. ^-^

This is a good change, but it’s one major thing that will cause several concerns to the community, that now, is not anymore X Server Community to… well… EU/US community.

In one fell swoop Anet have got rid of one of my largest issues with the game…

Thank you and give the guys who did this a payrise…

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/introducing-the-megaserver-system/

It will also negate the need for server merges due to low population and help the overflow issues in a single stroke. It’s pretty much how things should have been designed from the start but better late than never

So kittening happy at this. I hated the server system and felt it was a step backwards in tech terms from GW1. There’s still the EU/US divide to breach but this is a quantum leap from where we were.
