Guild Wars 2

Congrats… you blobbed your way to success just as Devon Carver designed it.

The importance of using some kind of voice chat to listen to the commander/s and scouts cannot be stated enough. If your server has one, find out what it is and how to get on it.

Chase that carrot. Chase it HARD! LOL

Anyone else having issues with this lately, played for a few hours this morning it worked as advertised once… the rest of the time it would fire and nothing would happen except it would go into cool down.

did not work on the move at all, worked 1 time out of 4 standing still.

Am I just on a really bad streak or has anyone else noticed something similar?

I can deal with the duration nerf, but the vigorous renewal nerf was the stupidest thing kittening ever. No reason for it at all. Absolutely none. I mean, the only game mode we’re even preferred in is spvp but somehow we just needed an all around nerf again.

I understand they had to do something to nerf ranger in spvp, but why in pve? Healing spring was one of our best supportskills, maybe i missed something and they are only looking for rangers now in lfg, so anet had to tune them down to give other classes a chance. Or maybe it’s just an example of how pve suffers from pvp balancing.

I just assume now lots of what we do is working as intended. If the things I’ve been reporting since day one are actually bugs, it’s tough to imagine how problems so big could have been ignored so long.

Though I really do hope that’s not the case ;( In the mean time, my reports will keep on flowing.

It’s not healthy to compare classes like this. Healing Signet is overpowered… excessively so given the class it’s on. It’s close in overall value to Troll + SoR, but it’s everything else the Warrior stacks on top of it that makes it so overpowered.

Next you’ll start comparing the utility other classes bring, or the burst/ae capability of other classes in WvW, etc etc. If you keep it up you’ll have a very poor outlook on this class like many of us

So I decided to make a warrior and mess around in spvp running a zerker warrior with healing signet when I noticed just how much hp I was getting from this signet.
Healing Signet grants a base heal of 392 a second, much like our own Signet of the Wild(only on steroids). Now Troll Unguent only gives out a base of 856 hp a second, for 10 seconds with a 25 second cool down.

It made my own healing skill seem very lackluster in comparison considering Warrior’s getting that hp every second. While I do understand Warrior has a larger hp pool, they also have access to a lot of CC mitigation and condi removal.

In your eyes is Healing Signet broken or is Troll Unguent just that useless? I’m somewhere in between believing both.

Thoughts or constructive ideas as to what could be done about Troll Unguent?

Why do you all think a warrior can make high dmg AND have high life/toughness?
You have to decide or play a half/half build…
Not the Warriors does the damage in zergfights. Warriors are in the frontline so you maybe think they do but thats not how it works. In WvW most Warriors have high life and toughness so the other zerg can put their spells on them and they still can survive. The damage comes from the backline. Warriors are for stuns and not for dmg. If you play a full bersi warrior you will plop like popcorn in a microwave if you run into a big zerg. (some really well played full bersis maybe not that fast)

Ist this a troll?
Dmg from the backline? What game do you play? The backline in GW2 is veilbots, water/firefield bots to support the hammertrain…

My warrior has:
19k HP
~3300k Armor
2.1k Power
70% crit damage
50% crit chance
418hp regen + 4XX from that trait + regen buff from dogged march
-65% cond duration / -98% from freeze, immob, cripple.
insane mobility
AoE stun, knockdown, knockback, singletarget stun, single cripple, aoe cripple
16 sec stability
5 sec invul

Why do you all think a warrior can make high dmg AND have high life/toughness?

Base hp pool = 18k
Armor = heavy
Regen 440hp/s only with the signet
Easy access to boons
Best mobility (2h sword)
Great CC (2h hammer)
And still hit really hard.

+Condition cleansing
+Immune to conditions if required

Nope. The Warrior is clearly Anets golden child.

You say this like it’s some major revelation….
Anyone here the least bit familiar with the first game’s GVG??

(hint… it was basically 4 warriors and some monks versus 4 other warriors)

My big issue is that Warriors can do every role in the game where a lot of classes are pigeon holed. And instead of looking to improve those classes, they continue to waste the bulk of their very limited programming to give them more and more roles within the game. If Warriors are awesome. So what? Lets just make all the other classes to have 3-4 strong roles/builds that are close. The other classes need more work at this time.

Someone commented that Warriors are weak vs conditions. That is not the case at all. Either you do not play warrior or you are incredibly ignorant. They have the most Accessable condition removal in the game. With one tactic every 8 sec or so you clear off 3 conditions by using your Adrenaline ability. O.o So you do uber damage and clear off conditions at the same time. Its win/win.

Perhaps BP has a right to complain about numbers? It turns out we’re starting to confirm that our BL has been bugged all week – improperly sending players to the queue despite only 25ish being logged into the entire zone.

Personally, I’ve been Queued out of BP BL all week at all times of the day, so I cannot personally confirm this. Though I’ve never seen such a Q ever in all my time on BP so it has been a bit hard to believe – thus, I had my suspicions that it was bugged. We had similiar problems last week on our BL when a majority of the players were experiance significant lag and getting disconnected constantly (this affect not only us but all servers, making our BL unplayable).

Not to make excuses, but if this turns out to be true, that would really put an asterix on this week’s matchup, which has otherwise been excellent.

I hope certain servers find it as funny when they get beat down by massive numbers in the coming weeks. I will probably spend more time trolling those threads than actual wvw.

We all get that this “league” nonsense was just a way of the more populated server beating up the lower populated servers. There is nothing fun about it though. Anet’s logic is so screwed. They kill off spvp, and then tell people to go there if they want fair fights.

For all the roamers complaining about zergs, wait til you fight FA and SBI lol. They’ll flood 100+ every single map, from NA to Oceanic to SEA.

Keep in mind, this is going to be the most even matchup for weeks to come between our 3 servers. For all the other weeks, it’ll be either you guys overrunning your opponents or vice versa. Enjoy this week while it lasts.

Also SIC, maybe if you wanted to roam, you should have transferred to Bronze League instead of going to a MORE populated server than IoJ. Just a suggestion.

Nope. The Warrior is clearly Anets golden child. Going to level mine up soon and shelve my Guardian.

Why? Is it because they got buffs again? It’s not very fun to play against the warrios. They are tanky, they have so much heals, so much mobility, a tons of crowd control, great damage and even stability. Anyway to counter that?

At least if they are that tanky make them do less damage like guardian ;/

The League matches are a total washout.

None of the servers are able to field their usual players and the games being played are a complete shambles. It’s all totally meaningless.

It’s a great pity because I think many of us were really looking forward to a more competitive system with at least some sort of trophy rewards but it’s gone badly wrong.

I think maybe the matches should be postponed until the next Living Story update takes attention off WvW.

There is no benefits to bringing PvE and WvW players together (other than guild missions).

Please don’t include LS JPs in WvW maps and please don’t include PvP finishers as LS achievement for PvE players.

Just accept the fact that the player base enjoys different aspect of the game and that is the end of it.

The WvW maps are already queued up to the throat and no need to encourage new PvE players into WvW temporarily for some JP and no contribution to the server WvW score.. If a PvE player want to focus on WvW then that is a different story and should be fine and they can follow the commander and what not.

I hope the WvW seasons continue as planned and it is a great addition to the game but please give it some thoughts before adding all these unneeded PvE stuff into it.

And they will leave once said achievements are done. Like I said earlier, they have had a year already to try it and like it. Adding achievements isn’t going to change this.

WvW has been in the game since launch. If they wanted to join WvW they had plenty of time to try it out.

Achievements is not going to make them want to WvW, its gonna make them want to get in, get achievements, get out.

• Dungeon topic. Plans for raids or more difficult dungeons
• Class differentiation and roles. Class balance in PvE, strengthening of non-DPSDPSDPS roles.
• General armor skins topic. We need better and more! Also at least in part earnable in PvE. This was my main motivation that kept me in PvE in GW1.

They will fix this in GW3

I’d like to be able switch pets without renaming them over and over again. This is a utility i feel should have been in since the beginning of the game. Juvenile(insert animal) is lame.

1. Population imbalance

2. Party interface > 5 (cmdr system doesn’t cut it)

3. Incentives for losing server to continue playing
