Guild Wars 2

Live with it, just like how you live with your life.

If you can’t find humor in this, then there’s something wrong with you. the dev team decided to entertain us with someone funny, yet those people who complain constantly over such trivial things shouldn’t play until these minor event is over. yes, there such always be an option though this won’t last at all ~ since there’s no point in telling you to just enjoy it ~ then don’t play the game until then. quit being mad and get over it.

Charr win this time.

Great April fools joke! Loved it ( and I have seen them all)

At this time I would like to say we all like to complain, but in the end love the game. I know many of the April Fools jokes are done on personal time out of love for the game.

So any one else want to thank the develops for a great joke just join in……

Here are the people who are kittened off by the change so far:
-dual legendary holders, + other expensive exotics
-people who like to mix-match town clothes
-people who bought multiple dyes
-people who absolutely hate anything involving the gem store

The first three I can get behind, the latter I have no sympathy for because they think GW2 should be a charity.

As with all changes, there will be people who will be negatively affected. And they are more than likely to be vocal about their displeasure.

Either way, these changes are for the good of the game – it’s players and creators.

I thought I’d find something new to first post, but the things you said has been argued (and defeated) countless times. “Control” works wonders when done properly, and if that failed, there’s Evasion. Plus, constantly moving and evading and attacking is called “Active Combat” which I prefer than Holy Trinity (tank taunts/soaks damage, healer heals, dps well, they dps). If I wanted that type of gameplay, I wont be playing Gw2. If gw2 will adapt that game play, I will leave gw2 (and im sure many others too). Nothing new to see here, move along..

tl;dr: just NO to Holy Trinity.

I hate trinity,thanks Anet for not putting this unfair feature in game that always make certain classes welcome in groups wile others (usually assassins) are not welcomed and cant find pt entire day for a dungeon

Why someone would buy GW2 to whine about the lack of trinity when ARENANET ADVERTISEMENT HIS GAME FOR YEARS SAYING GW2 WOULD NOT HAVE A TRINITY?

lol we didnt ask you to turn £17 to convert to gold and really if you think we need you that badly at events then you really have something coming to you

Algreg.3629:

well, yes, there is some p2w-element in the game, was there from the very beginning. Buy win or not, your choice, it is as easy as that. And if those few dollars/euros are too much for you, well, chances are, you should be thinking about your career instead of wasting too many hours in a game anyway.

A few dollars or euros? That resource gathering set costs £40, or $80 or whatever it is in euros! There’s nothing “micro” about these transactions.

Perhaps one day you will grow up, have a family, mortgage, responsibilities, or just count yourself lucky that you were able to hold on to your job during this economic crisis which has seen many people lose their jobs and homes overnight. All of which has appeared to have completely passed you by, or you simply grew up in a privileged household where your parents never knew when to say “no”. People have financial responsibilities outside of gaming, you know. Did it ever occur to you that some people work 70-80 hour weeks for a meagre salary and resort to gaming to get their minds off things?

Show some consideration for those of us who are not as well off as you.

And why should this only be female exclusive? Male characters should also have a more revealing options. Stop with these double standards. Why should every female set look more like the male version? Why not the other way around?

you did know that the bear take 2 conditions off 5 allies, and that the activation time (0.5 seconds) is almost instant, making it a VERY reliable skill. Not to mention low CD.

Mighty Roar takes 3 seconds to activate. THREE SECONDS of the pet being rooted. If it is damaged or you move out of its tiny tiny range within those 3 seconds, you loose the might.

Red moa has next to NO dps. Last night, i tested if it would use its healing cry similar to how drakes using their blast finisher (set pet to avoid combat, then tell them to attack manually). It does not, instead it waits and astonashing 50 seconds after initiating combat, to use the heal. Resulting in a few coyotes almost killing my poor ranger (i ran zerker).
Red moa fury does NOT work with compassion training (tested and reported it in the bugfix section many times over, nothing happens). Thus it will NEVER grant more then 14 seconds.

Pet boon duration does NOT scale with player boon duration. So while the tooltip reads “Fury 19.5 seconds”, you will still only get 14 seconds.
Moa DPS is laughable

Brown Bear, in WvW and PvP is a very good companion, but only as a supportive companion, you should be using it to cleanse conditions and tank damage (protect me), and leave the DPS to a cat or bird.

My preferred combination is Brown Bear + Krytan Drakehound for CC and Condi cleanse. The condi cleanse (well, really, it is a transfer, just like empathic bond).

Another EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THING TO MENTION is that while the bear offers lower DPS compared to other pets, it is pretty much the only pet type, able to tank mass condi spam.
If you use empathic bond, your pet will take 3 conditions off you. Player get 3 conditions less, pet have to take the damage from those instead. If you, like to use dogs, drakes and cats, like myself, you will find empathic bond very destructive. As it will simply melt your DPS pets.
Try fight a necro and watch what 25 stacks of bleeding, poison and chill does to your jaguar or jungle stalker. You would be lucky to even see the healthbar before the pet dies.

However, you are free to use whatever pet you want, but don’t come crying when Empathic Bond kills your moa, stalker, wolf, hyena or river drake. Because i warned you it would.

killcannon.2576:

Failure to stop the Marionette before the power meter associated with it is filled results in a massive cannon going off and every single player within Lornar’s Pass being killed. Even those possibly on the other side of the map.

wtf

I know, shame these players have to waste 60c-2S to respawn!

lol, honestly if they’re on the map and not helping they deserve to die.

Glad GW2 has players who are so great at building a game community.

See this, this right here? This is why I don’t want PvP “any time, all the time”. I had those games getting into MMOs, and I really didn’t like some of them. Meridian 59, where you could be hunted into being unable to play because someone decided they needed the lolz. Ultima Online, where you were either really good at PvP and understood the few quirks of the system . . . or you were just a lamb to the slaughter doing anything outside of town.

I do not want PvPers messing with my gametime.

I don’t want to have to click “no” or set myself to “ignore all fight requests” just so I can have piece of mind. I do not want to be harassed over refusing to fight. I do not want to have to defend myself when I’m not in WvW, and I honestly think games have gotten past this need to include an open-world PvP option.

And I really, really, have become weary of being sneered at for not wanting to partake in something I really stink at, because “it’s the only true way to play the game” or some similar sentiments.

WAIT, SAY WHAT?!

Yes, world-events need to be randomized and here is why: they have become a bloated, time-filler, bot-like run on (nearly?) every server. I will admit, I have run the gambit with the “reset zerg” but that only helped me to realize how ridiculous the situation has become. World-events are a joke now, a series of events to feed the rare, exotic, and ascended-hungry masses. They are not what they should be, events that spawn powerful bosses that have the potential to wreak devastation across the land if they aren’t stopped. The days were better before gw2stuff and the like when lions arch was filled with people calling out world events as they spawned. Spontaneity is what kept world-events interesting and, yes, it was good that not everybody in the world could make it there in time.

tl:dr fire shaman -> sb -> dwayna -> etc. is NOT good and completely ruins the nature of the world-events. Randomize the timers and kill the world-event map zergs.

Post-script: I know obtaining rares would become a little more of an issue but that is a problem with the open world loot not the world-events.

The problem is you’re not willing to spend the time to get another map completion; the solution is to pay others for their time/effort doing it
i.e. buy a legendary from the tp

Would it be fair to remove Gift of Exploration from the ingredients because you don’t wanna do it vs. everyone who had to spend the time for map completion to make his legendary?

I don’t think it can’t be any more clear than that.

It actually IS a solution to your problem. Your problem is you don’t want to grind out 100% map completion on a second character just to get another Legendary weapon. The solution is you can forgo map exploration and simply buy the Legendary weapon from the Trading Post. If you’re going for a third (or more) Legendary weapon then you’ve got enough gold and/or time to make purchasing a Legendary weapon a viable alternative to crafting one.

The main problem in IMO the AI.

When your opponent doesn’t provide a challenge you don’t need to further your skills and become proficient.

As it is the AI in GW2 exists in a completely different dimension than the players:

• It simply doesn’t care about AoE
• In fact it’s oblivious to any sort of positioning, if a ranged mob gets pulled close to a stacked zerk group it will continue to attack them with its ranged attack from up close where it’ll get whacked by the zerkers full force
• It doesn’t time its (very very few) skills to interrupt/ spike players properly, spamming them when CD is down instead
• Its only reason it sustains itself is because of a disproportionally large HP pool
• The former excuses it from having to sue any heal skills ever, making player CC nigh irrelevant
• Due to its extremely limited skillset it can’t into teamplay. Unless it’s something hardwired like the Gongplaying Dredge (note that they will proceed to use their gong buffs regardless if they’re in a group or not and that they will neglect attacking in favour of using that skill once it’s off CD, even if the player is near death and could be killed quickly it will still choose to play its gong instead) mobs don’t have anything to compliment each other.

The only merit I can give it is that it holds off its attack if you use one of those “Effect on block” skills like Thief’s Spear No.3

The mobs needs to change drastically, lower their HP and give them means to defend and heal themselves instead, make them smarter, make them pose an actual threat that doesn’t blindly rush into a group of zerkers stacked in a corner.
Above all make PvE being about something more than just plain damage. How did it go again Jon?
“DPS: Call it whatever you like—DPS, damage per second—we just call it DAMAGE, and when it comes to making red bars go down, you can never have enough of it. Don’t trivialize it though” well guess what, you just did
