Guild Wars 2

Matt Witter.6982:

The tool tip for the second tier of the Cannon Mastery and Ballista Mastery abilities shows the wrong percent increase. The tool tip for both of these should say that it increases damage by 25%

Matt: Could you quickly clarify a question that was raised about the abilities: Are the effects for each level cumulative or additive? For example, does tier 2 of Guard Killer upgrade your damage to 2% TOTAL, or does it ADD 2% damage for that tier, for a total of 3% (1%+2%)?

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the culling fix. It is fantastic. It’s amazing how I can see all of the enemy and we can finally use our old tactics to our greatest advantage.

Myself, and many others, were very worried that the skill lag would be terrible, but I find it is better for some reason. When fighting 2 full servers at once, I still can’t fire off some utilities, heal, weapon skills, but that was the same as before. When fighting very large numbers, there is almost no skill lag, whereas before, there was quite a lot. Maybe it’s about the same, but it sure isn’t any worse.

Agreed !

(message must be longer)

Additional shot: If you guys haven’t notice if you un-stow your staff or any weapons. It grows bigger to the correct ratio.

When you stow your weapon, it looks odd because it shrink for no reason. There is enough room for the weapons behind the back. I’m not sure what is the issue with the gear designer at Anet…

the ratio just needs to be fixed. they dont need to look huge but this is a great example of it not working

Well, Anet is pretty good at listening and fixing little things like this. Lets hope they listen and do a few changes!

Exact same here Sbuzz! I just feel mad when I see those big Norns and Charrs with their gigantic swords

So the weapon issue is really making me wish I rolled another race. The staff pic you did is a perfect example.

I agree 100%

I completely regret making an asura now as it’s a complete waste of time to bother grinding for weapon or armor skins because they look too small.

Considering that’s the only carrot in this game it makes me not want to play at all.

Fixt it for you.

Thank you. I sort of meant, the small scaling makes them look like crap, but that was a bit off. =p

I agree completely. Many weapons seem to be misaligned but the scaling is also off. Hammers are by far the worst on Asura.

I totally agree with you, i want bigger pistol and rifle for my engi!

Ok.
So freaking Norn Female Got thier GS animation Changed twice already.

And we can’t get item scaling a bit different ?

How harder difficult is to change some numbers for weapon scaling from creating whole new animation for female norn ?!

please increase weapon and armor size and animations…

I agree with this, the weapons are too tiny and there are a lot of clipping/placement issues! Also, as an Asura warrior my axes get placed inside my wrists instead of in my hands.
Please fix these things.

The weapons look large on the other taller races. They do not look large on the Asura in proportion to their body size. That’s what the problem is.

The hammers have plenty of room to increase the size and still look right. For example, The Order of Whispers hammer is detailed, but looks more like a nail hammer in size.

Good news everyone!

ArenaNet will be looking at weapon sizes according to Chris Whiteside’s AMA on Reddit.

The weapons are too tiny. Also, they have a lot of clipping issues. I can’t even see my daggers on my elementalist because the robe is in the way. Also, my staff kind of keeps getting stuck IN my head.

asura guardian with hammer, looks like a wand…
¬¬
searched for other skins trying to find a bigger one, no result, all tiny.
:(

really? you create a TINY character and want GIANT weapons?

it’s not about giant weapons, it’s about proper weapon scaling where they stop shrinking when holstered.

well,they need weapons of its size

Think at a asura using a greatsword for a charr , its too big for him so its become weird

that’s not what it’s about! it’s about the fact that it SHRINKS for no reason when it’s on my back and GROWS again when i use it in combat. THAT’S what needs fixing.

The main thing I am disappointed in is that the asurans (which I dearly love) have their weapons set on the small of their back instead of being set at their shoulders like all the other races. The issue is that it then puts the weapon so far down it creates clipping issues and it also creates a sense they are holding a toothpick instead of a greatsword or a toothpick instead of a staff. Just have two characters stand side by side with a staff or a greatsword and you will see what i mean about the placement on the back.

Horrible design flaw and they know about it and it’s been 6 months and they haven’t said a thing about it since. Is it still on their list of fixes and have they made progress or is it on the pile on the ground they not longer care about fixing.

Seems it has been swept under the carpet.

I adore my cute little Asura Warrior, but am timid to craft sunrise on her. I may even make a guardian norn to give it too…It’s a shame because she is absolutely my favorite character, and i will never re-roll. And, if people say it may not be realistic that they carry that large of a Greatsword…have you seen the female human with a greatsword? I doubt that’s honestly realistic. All-in-all, i hope this is looked into!

I’ve always been a little disappointing that I can’t really show my weapons off, no one can see them. Didn’t notice they got smaller when you put them away till a friend made an Asura :P

I would add my support to this. I hope they get the time to do something about it.

It’s definitely not a game breaking issue, but it’s made me personally start to lose interest in the game. I was starting to save towards a legendary but part of the reason for that was a desire to look cool. With the weapon scaling as it is it feels like I look less impressive than other races.

Well I have to say after playing WvW since the start this is pretty much the best evening of WvW I can remember.

Zerg vs Zerg is no longer a straight push into each other and lay everything you have down in the hope of hitting the invis/culled enemies. For the first time last night I think I saw actual tactical zerg vs zerg play. Now this sounds crazy but we were on an enemy border last night, we had 2 guild groups and a few pugs, probably totalling 60 players at it’s height. We came across an enemy group of around the same and we circled each other vying for the best position before anyone even engaged. During the engagement I could actually target and kill people without them disappearing on me.

Even better I could stand on the top of Hills with 40 allies around me and see enemies from miles away… This truly is the best thing wvw has had done for it since they first introduced culling and ruined the experience of large scale battles.

This truly is a breath of fresh air and nice to see alot of my old friends who had left WvW come back and play.

Only thing left to do now is give us something worthwhile buying with badges, any serious wvw player has Karma coming out of their orifices as it is. What do we need with Karma armour sets? The one small bonus is I no longer need to trek my characters to Orr for exotic armours…. But then with the amount of Karma I have and make would I spend badges? No, I will spend karma if I can….

ohh now i see why i got normally insta killed..that wasn’t a zerg of 20 it was 50!XD ..and now i can see them
