Guild Wars 2

Waiting for “Fixed a bug that caused some Mesmers being able to move after using teleportskills”

LeoWolfish.8917:

So no duel swords for WvW then? I never got around to using the bug or WvW in general yet so I don’t know what it entailed anyway. I am still going to try and work around this I think.

Ok, here’s the deal. You used to be able to use ‘swap’ even after the clone died. It would move you to the clone’s last position and do the cleaving immobilize. This is the only thing that lets it be used in many situations.

In pve, the clone often gets instakilled by aoes, and this used to let you sorta plan a safe route to leap to and/or get through a nasty area. Now you can’t.

In pvp, the clone will often be cleaved down. You used to be able to use this to your advantage, sending the clone through a place you wanted to go to put a tether to go back to. Now you can’t.

In large group WvW, the clone dies almost instantly. The only reason this skill worked at all was this now removed functionality.

To expand on wvw and mainhand sword. Blurred frenzy will kill you on retaliation. The autoattack is not particularly high damage. Now the third skill is completely useless. I honestly can’t see a reason to use mainhand sword in wvw now. In fact, I only see reasons to actively avoid it.

Tis a good job GS/Staff is the new meta I guess.

A totally pointless change again from Anet, this facet of ileap is not a “bug” its been in the game for 2+ years it is an inherent part of the skill’s functionality and adds significantly to the skill cap of its use. I just don’t understand the rationale behind this change unless this clone swap is causing some major server side problems for them, why not just change the wording to say you can return to the location the clone was last at even after its destroyed and keep an awesome piece of unintended (though after 2+ years I highly doubt that) functionality.

Seriously Anet you looked at ileap and the only bug you found to fix was this?

Just make it so you teleport to enemy and immobilize hem and remove casting time.

I love how ANet cares so much for Mesmers that they go out of their way to find things nobody consider bugs to fix, when they have a community-confirmed list of ~35 bugs and broken spells/traits that has been like that for months.

So they fixed a bug that let us swap with a dead clone, but fail to fix the fact that if a clone isn’t on perfectly flat terrain, that it will actually reach its target within the leap time…Why anet, why? Why nerf mesmers more while failing to fix the bugs first??

Total disconnect between the devs and the community.

I guess they’ve decided to completely ignore the thread on the game bugs forum and instead just go off fixing things nobody asked for. Unbelievable.

2/10 would not read again.

Silent Shino.7239:

As we all know, conditions in wvw are out of control and horrendously difficult to counter.

It’s true. Yesterday I Burned down the gate of Stonemist and then Blind-spammed the lord to death solo. And then when they came to reclaim it I put Weakness on them so they couldn’t swing their rams at the door.

All conditions are OP except the super-quick-damaging one that Guardians proc constantly, and the one that exists solely to help Power builds do more damage to things.

Silent Shino.7239:

As we all know, conditions in wvw are out of control and horrendously difficult to counter.

Nope, they are fairly simple to counter, really

I main a guardian, guardians have the best condition removal in the game, if I can’t counter them with a full anti condition build; something is seriously wrong.

Or you are simply not good enough. Not meant as an insult. For your defense: When I run my condition necro, I usually have no issues against guardians. Having many cleanses doesn’t equal a good condition cleansing.

You cannot dodge most conditions and there’s only so many times you can dodge in a certain space of time.

You can not dodge all of the physical damage and hard CCs either.

I main a guardian, the class which has the best anti-conditions in the game. There is no counter for conditions apart from horribly expensive food + runes.

Simply wrong. I also would argue that Warriors have better condition cleanses than guardians. At least for themselves.

Yes, I’ve been forced to use a PU mesmer in certain scenarios and it’s just about impossible to be killed as one.

Funny, I main Mesmer and I was never forced to run PU. And I have killed plenty PU Mesmers myself, with condition damage and physical damage and hybrid damage.

Now to your suggestions. You want to remove so many conditions, that several professions would be broken. This can go either way for them. Also the reduction of bleeding to 5 stacks is ridiculous as well as the confusion suggestion. Your posts seems like you want an easy win mode.

inb4 Hello,
Discussions of gold selling, in-game abuse, hacking, exploiting, and the like are not allowed on the forums. If you feel a player is abusive in-game, please report them using the in-game ticketing system so our Customer Support team can properly investigate the issue and take any appropriate action.
Thank you for your understanding.

Here’s what’s going to happen.

When a moderator sees this, they’re going to lock the thread and refer you to email their customer support and/or they’ll do their copy & paste “no match up threads” post.

Sick of thieves when roaming.

Maybe they should remove roaming. If you try to run alone game would teleport you in zerg. This would fix problems.

Rieselle.5079:

They don’t have to accept every random newbie.

You need go no further than right here to see why this would be a horrible idea.

I cannot agree with Forced GvGing. Even with all the rivalries between servers, the bandwagoning, “buying guilds”, spying in TS, etc. There are big server communities behind each server. Players work together and form real friendships in WvWvW.

I believe this is something GvGers forget about server based WvWvW. GW1 had GvG but I don’t think Arenanet will ever support it completely in GW2. The simplest is that unorganised zerging with “PUGs” is easily done with a commander tag.

This is just my opinion of course but I think that GvGers are too elitist and even mean sometimes to the players on a server. The militia fight for their server too. They may not all be on TS, some may even be on uplevels but without them at all WvWvW would be much more emptier place.

Please love the random players aka the PUGs of your server and teach them how to WvWvW even encourage them to join a guild or give advice on builds and gear. But don’t just hate on them for the sake of it. Thanks for reading. <3

We as a wvw community are like red headed step children.

No, we’re the skeleton of the goldfish that went belly-up in the fishbowl that grew green with algae from not being cleaned in over a year and then dried into a powder from evaporation that is owned by the red headed step child.

“armchair commanders”

I always try and back up a commander against these non-commander commanders. I find them particularly irritating because you know they’ll NEVER pin themselves and yet they feel their ideas are somehow a kind of revelation that commanders need to act on.

I just logged in to say, I know your position. In different games I used to lead groups in PvP both small and large. Unfortunately my voice and accent has a way of making people ’stress out’ and they eventually find this annoying. I’ve heard all the insults you can imagine, but I never cared, because ultimately if you get consistent results, people generally act more mature just to ensure they can stay around.

The bottom line is, if you’re good at leading and also enjoying it, keep doing it. Anyone that gets in your way, you simply tell to ’kitten off’, as it is not like there is really that many people excited about leading in WvW, or any game for that matter. More likely than perhaps you realize however, you’re suffering from a burnout, something that comes quickly for most people from leading, which also means you generally take insults harder, which probably eventually made you write this post in a moment of doubt.

Either take a break, or continue leading if you think you can still enjoy it. Remember, you’re the commander, you do the work of many, you get the results. Everyone else is just a peon in your game, and very expendable. Don’t lead for a bunch of kittens, but lead for yourself and the people you consider to be friends.

Uh rewarding people for not transferring is basically rewarding people for not buying gems.

I’ll give you some time to figure out why anet doesn’t like that to happen

The name Guild Wars is based on lore not on guilds btw

Just sharing how this idea is working. The beginning is choppy as I’m using short clips just to show how the skills can work. The last part is a tower solo where you can get a feel for the pace of the generosity sigils procing.

P.S. Contains more old guy music and average game play. And happy father’s day to all the dads.

See attached I apologize in advance for the skipping I had just downloaded Fraps and realized mid fight that it was only recording in 30s increments which I pieced together the best I could. I now have the registered version so that won’t be an issue anymore. Had Pandora going in the background with Flux Pavilion – I Can’t Stop playing, was absolutely perfect for what was going on, enjoy!

Ok, not gonna lie. That was an impressive number of duplicate posts.

Oddly enough, it’s thematically appropriate for the mesmer forums.

I wonder what the British thought the first time the Germans used a Flak gun against armor during WW2. “Hey they can’t do that……I’m gonna post something in forum!”

Using a weapon for a purpose other than what it was originally intended for is simply good ingenious tactics.

Whether it’s open field siege or defensive trebs in a tower, all’s fair in luv and war. : )

If one blob throws down open field siege than why wouldn’t u do the same? B/c its not honorable? WTF….are u serious!!!!

Your signature screams why no one will take you seriously.

Level 80 ranger in wvw.

Server : JQ

WOW….your riposte has left me mortally wounded.

You sir, are a true master of the rhetoric.

I applaud your witty and unforeseen attack.

All the angry people are banned

inb4delete but, yeah.

The last week of the tournament YB swore they’d hold HoD garrison for the entire week. It took us 2 days to get it back and 3 days to get bay back. And that was when we had the numbers to do it! They even had a (temporary?) guild with the tag GARI, named “We Have Your Garri” or something of the like. Seriously, they can’t walk 10 feet without dropping siege. Take a camp? Well, TIME TO BUILD 2 BALLISTAS AND AN ARROW CART.

HoD will not be seeing our garri or any of our keeps for the rest of the week. That’s the gist of it.
