Guild Wars 2

They have to much ways of escaping in stealth only to return with full hp. I think that when a ticking condition is applied on thiefs ( bleed/poison/torment for examp ), they cannot go in stealth,and are revealed to everyone untill the condition is removed or the duration is over.

Try to fight any decent ranger, necromancer, mesmer or engineer. See how they laugh at you and demolish you as soon as your retaliation ends. Guardians are one of the best classes overall (SPvP, WvW and PvE) but our significant weaknesses (low HP, low mobility, lack of range) makes us easy preys for any skilled player.

And FYI, most people in WvW are utter garbage. Once I was ganked by two thieves, and it took me symbol of wrath + whirling wrath to down both of them. Good job stealing when I had Aegis, thieves. I bet anyone that can play his class right and has a proper small-scale PvP build could handle such players.

P.s. I’ll get stoned for this, but I’ll give you that Stand Your Grand deserves some nerfing :P

There are only two changes I’d like to see:

1) Flashing Blade: can teleport without selecting a target
2) Zealot’s Defense: keep the mechanic but get rid of the root when activated

I swear all I want for Christmas is being able to use flashing blade and judge’s intervention without needing a target lol

They complained less because there were less of them playing …Think about that. If you want an argument about stagnation, we can have it. This system solves stagnation like a blender solves brain tumors.

Best. Reply. Ever.

I knew I made the right decision when I chose not to collect minis in this game. (I was a huge pet collector in both WoW and Rift.) Every event just solidifies that I made the right choice. I’ve saved myself a lot of money and frustration.

This is driving me crazy. I’ve had discussions with many other players when this topic has come up…The gem shop is in serious need of armor skins, not town clothes. I feel like this is “27 Dresses: GW2 Edition” (for those of you who haven’t seen it, it’s a movie where she collects dresses she’ll only wear once, and never again.)

The game is like 9 months post-launch and we’ve got the same 3 armor sets since day one as our only gem shop option for armor skins! I would of literally bet that by now there would have been at least 4 or 5 new sets per armor type, instead we’ve had about that much in town clothes sets that nobody ever seems to use for more than a couple days after they’ve been released.

The gem shop is the best way to introduce an upgraded version of the best armor sets from GW1, and/or themed sets based off the update/era we’re in, or whatever you feel like (get creative if you want!)…All while maintaining whatever theme it is you want via any potential new dungeons in the future. I’ve never played a MMO with an in-game shop for real money that didn’t regularly update combat-ready armor skin sets. Those are always the most popular items in an in-game shop. I’ve heard the argument that it’s probably expensive to develop new armor skins. This logic would dictate that it’s probably equally as expensive to design town clothes, then. Because it’s basically doing the same thing, except boring and less popular. So switch resources from the town clothes team for a good long while, and have them develop really nice gem-shop armor sets that you can make bucket loads of money off us with, instead.

Edit: And please don’t RNG it. That would just be lame.

Since Anet seems to think that Lower Rank servers were just unlucky with the point system before and we really just had the population hiding in the corner

grin

I still have yet to spend a single point in WvW ranks

So what? You’ll name your character “Master of Boiling Oil” cause you absolutely don’t want to have it on other characters? Sounds logic.

I prefer this system, it’s not like you LOSE anything by swapping characters, it’s just incentive to use one over another.

Same…

Plus, it’s a great way to cure altitis.

I’m Commander Guildchat from Sea of Sorrows server.

What kind of motivation should I have for telling my guild to get into WvW this week?

due to the tier 2 servers we’re facing, any effort put out by us will raise our rating and give us more of a chance to potentially fight in tier 1 where we’d get our spit stuffed in even more? A constant losing cycle doesn’t seem like what we should be striving for.

If you really want to change the dynamics of WvW, dissolve the EU servers and shuffle them into NA, as WvW is a 24-hour game anyways. Don’t just put little league teams in the professionals.

I haven’t given much thought to this issue, but why do WvW ranks go from Legend to Bronze Invader? Isn’t that a bit silly?

Shouldn’t it be Invader>Bronze Invader>Silver Invader>Gold Invader>Assaulter (or whatever the next rank is)

Edit: I’m still at rank 13 so it doesn’t have any effect on me, but it’s really odd.

1. If a zerg size exceeds 15 players, then it’s visible on the map and can be dynamically tracked by it’s enemy.

2. If there is a 25% population imbalance, then Way Points do not go down.

3. Disable “Right Button Select” — but wait, that would benefit all game play, wouldn’t?

Tactics are important, skill is even more important, but if you don’t have the population to commit to WvW you don’t have a chance competing against a server that does.

Does anyone ells feel like this is the big elephant in the room that Anet refuses to address?

What would you do to fix it?

Title says it all. I know I enjoyed my old server matchup in T4. Yes, we won every week in points because of a strong oceanic presence, but in North American prime time, we’d have even numbers and sometimes be outmanned. Was fun. Going up 2 tiers on a “random” multiplier is the worst idea in the history of gaming.

No fun = no more GEM $ for Anet from me.

They’re on a good way to be like EA.
This patch is for WvW absolutely terrible.

Gunnars are obviously going to lose this matchup, but I promise you we’ll give you some hard fights in primetime and push as hard as we can at all other times!

Sad I missed the chaos of reset but looking forward to seeing PS/RS in game

I’m on Gunnar’s Hold. We were tier 7 three hours ago…

Considering there were 3 resets (Augury Rock vs Piken Square vs Baruch Bay, Augury vs Baruch vs Fort Ranik, and Augury vs Baruch vs Abbaddon’s Mouth), and in the end result one server is getting horribly stomped by 2 servers… I don’t think I’m impressed :p

It looks to me like they’ve screwed up – used the raw data of the first random matchup to generate a new one. It was made clear by Jon Peters we wouldn’t get matchups of more than a one or two tiers difference, not 4 tiers :s

Don’t feel sorry, it will just be boring, because I am not inclined to even bother spending time in WvW when we are so thoroughly mismatched. Both Piken Square and Riverside can field mor people on 1 map than we can on all 4 combined. I will be PvEing this week. Maybe A-Net can get it right next week.

This says it all. I liked the small fights we had the last 2 weeks. Now its just big blobs against a few of us. If you already check the maps, u can already see the outcome of this match-up.

Thanks Anet, well done on this mess.

For this reason, I’m out.

So am I.

I’ll be giving WvW a miss this week then…

Before you sign off on letting a matchup like this live again pls run it past the cleaning lady or the security guy on the front door.

Thanks

“Here’s the raw data version of the new matchup as well as an image of the matchups.

Huh? Actually, in game Gunnars is against Piken and Riverside, and it’s slaughter.

I was worried about it before, but now I see it directly: even if it’s just bug, we actually had a chance to meet those servers. Why? Tiers are so tightly balanced, one tier up or down is already not fun, so how is ANY random system supposed to work?
