Guild Wars 2

mass invise from SMC 3rd floor dropping on top of enemy squad that is ramming the gates :]

i think it will be fun, hope that there isnt much ways to troll pulling flyign enemies(mesmers) to the tower wall so the mesmer can port people inside.

Welll palyers on biggers servers already have more health compared with the smaller onces, dont forget that owning structures provide more health arround 3-4k?? when im in the midle the map and health drop 900Hp-1k i know the server lost something.

i would adress those issues first, but what if outmaned provided some sorta buff for players to???

Players in squad while together coureceiveld some battly cry "balance"boon while in outmaned to compete with numbers and the extra health they have by getting the structures??

it is an overpowered bag tag weapon for WvW xD

Jski.6180:

I am kind of hoping you can drop bomb or something that do not do a lot of dmg but has some effect other then simply dive bombing ppl with the fall trait.

From what i am looking at EB map red has a super advantages of the 3 side green not so much blue looks good too.

blue? i dont see from where :| all the spots on blue side i can reccall where that work can be easilly avoided?

oh, i like it, still the A.I is a problem :P a big problem!
i hope they make the weapons like gyros stay near the scrapper.

shield and bow somehow (lazy ANet xD) shares thesame A.I than hammer and sword, and since they dont have offsensive skills they just stand there…. selecting random targets… to try to meleee while they dont have those…. atacks xD

anoying xD

some boons on SW pulsing with firebrand actually in theory sounds good, i can get support ot fire stack offensiveness mistured with some mantras.

wish they could swap hammer trait position with the shield one :| , its feels virtues as way to mandatory and our traits are far to spreaded…
At least people who want medi hammer build dont need to use the consecration and could get a more viable trait option.
Players that want a more bunker and support role with shield could use the virtues and that would not burn like 2 traits to get shield 20% and virtues boons, plus mace taitline :\,, thereres your 3 trait options used…. just to use some mace shield combo…

About the SW if we dont loose the SW shield dome pulse its all good.

Hoping that 20% boon on staff goes aways as well, and we get a trait for 20% boon duration plus something else independently the weapon or utilities used.

Jayne.9251:

My understanding is that if you don’t own the structure, you can’t glide in that area. Or am I reading that wrong?

Other question: if team A owns say Lang, and team B owns their keep, can one glide into the other structure? Or do you hit the territory “wall” and drop once you reach it?

Can only glide in teritories you own, so as an attacker you can not glide there, only defenders.

And to all those people saying people would just glide off instead of running; You still need some high ground to make your glider pop. Also running off still faster so stop freaking out.

jerrifer cliff to EB green keep, i imagine players will fall before the wall… but i think i can see a way to exploit a mesmer inside… dont know if works but DH f1 or any other range pull skill used on enemy when he is falling from the sky : | or even pull glidding mesmer directly to the wall.

DeceiverX.8361, i think its only the glindding funtion w/o skill, since it says players only need to buy HoT, a fresh “Hotter” has access to glide and pve masteries stay in pve.

IMO its only the function wich is great, Air keep could later be the keep that improves the glidder skills in WvW, instead of useless transmogriffers and weird buffs… this might be a god way to give some “need” to have that structure for X strategie.

Malerian.8435:

Go back to PvE. Mounts would wreck WvW. They are not needed at all.

well charr vehicles would be interesting altough only 1 per server allowed and guild needed to control structure for X time.

we need golem alike siege factory insteadof the awfull transmogriffers -.-# (1 mega siege weapon allowed at each time)

that could be the wvw “mounts” :\ golems counts as it imo.

LuL!!!
I see a spanish comment there worth of temp ban……or player mute if this game have it.

lets see…
SW hammer dies in 1 hit
KB every 3 atack wich happens arround every 5 seconds?
a small straff kite will make hammer fail, and with luck stops atacking..

how did u manage to make hammer SW so effective? did u cheat??’ xD, ive used someSW burn build in the past its fun against players that expect a AFK similiar fight,still SW are extremelly week.

Advise: SW are ment to be use against ambient creatures.

i can imagine that working well mixed with a merged WvW…. faction system.
Guilds could set hostile/allied guilds as well to avoid players adding alot of players.l

but i assume pve is ment to be another thing… for theplayers that dispise figthing other players and prefer scripted mobs :P

Still theres another way to implement limited zone pvp in pve with a pve reward:
An arena with prizes on the main cities would be interesting tho, at least that, there could be a tournament every day in one of the cities randomly.

top prize would be access to a dungeon of champions, something like that, where the players who won the tournaments could gather together and fight strong ascalonian ghosts on steroids .. really hard mission

Aeolus.3615:

finnaly but pitty that i cant get ascended trough the skirmish suervisor….since it requires some Marks to be crafted

You can just craft them?

Not at max, and probably will never have it maxed :\ so cant craft the marks as well.

need to keep praying to the RNG and Magic find gods…

SweetPotato.7456:

There is going to be a net trap ya?

engie mortar will trap players with a net xD if get them on the air j/k

those and target is obstructed while nothing stand between me and the target…. well maybe hitted moskito :\

Shonex.5327:

I really hope this is some kind of sick humor of ANet, if they add gliding to WvW it’ll ruin that game mode also, just like they ruined PvP

“Oh my health is low, I’ll just glide away!” | “Oh I’m being knocked off the cliff, I’ll just use stability and glide away!” what a joke

it would be like shooting a duck in matrix…….

they are changing ballistas to have a duck hunting skills

And hope if isnt eneught they will had some effect to some range skills, longbow ranger could have some function to disable/damage the glidder.
As well DH F1 chain spear thing could(can) pull target to the ground hope it does the fall damage bug or glitch target xD

Players glidding arent invunerable and they cant fight back…

Kreejaffa.3682:

Maybe by expansion 3 or 4, we will get heroes and henchmen again!

I’m kidding. That will never happen.

well that would be interesting i dropped HoT campaing cause some maps were dead and events were taking a while.
And as a WvW mainly player…. i only havemy guardian gear set for WvW wich means i wont make damage to some mobs in pve dps race meta…

Enchies would be apreciated

LughLongArm.5460:

I kinda like it, it’s like nature super saiyan mode.

Player A: Fuuuuusiioooon!……miau!?
Player B : did u just transform into a mount?
Player A : no! im super strong now (dies with one hit)

lets see how this will work :\

no more zerg self kill when commander thinks its a small jump….

finnaly but pitty that i cant get ascended trough the skirmish suervisor….since it requires some Marks to be crafted

McKenna Berdrow.2759:

Hello, Mist Warriors!

(…)

We’ve made several map adjustments to the Eternal Battlegrounds, Desert, and Alpine Borderlands maps to better accommodate gliding. Besides map adjustments, we have also replaced Ballista’s fourth skill with an anti-air bolt skill that shoots people out of the air and immobilizes them for a short duration.

It is important to keep in mind that this is a test for gliding in WvW. If we discover with this test that gliding is not appropriate for WvW, we will disable it.

(…)

Lets shoot some ducks, i can imagine few set ot ballistas on fire keep, when people try to fly down fromdesert to the lava pit zone

this might be actualy fun, hope it works.
I still have a few questions on how alone towers territry zone will work with glidding, but ill leave those questions to the testing

this is interesting air buff on dbl means no fall damage

LinhZeri.6412, that is how i feel Virtues trait line should be for guardians :| but the traits on guardian core are a bit to much spreaded and some feel on the wrong trait… its far to dispersed and class get looses alot with that … hammer should be where shield is :|

Mikali.9651:

Aeolus.3615:

Btw check the mantras cast time

ummm yeah….check Quickness, I mean, just read the description

i know…. necros will love it reason i said team up with a necro, guard classes tendto fall back and get outshinned cause they have several ways to be countered… imo they are the easiest class to kill.

unbloclables, boon corrup, bon removal just for start…add how toughness is useless on that class and is low vit…

will the core balance happen as well in Q3?
or some small changes?

Kuya.6495, they have but feels they are fixing core by put it on steroids…. in another spec/trait… at least for guardian, feels it is a 2012 guardian with tomes on steroids…

I would sugest swap tune some traits up and others down in core guardian :\ to make it more overall pleasent to use with core, dh, and fb…

Edit: wow no forum bug!

and with the right sigils theres more condi to cover the fire stacks

Xillllix.3485:

It’s gonna be this huge thing they’ve been working 2 years on that will end up being very small.

Seriously without player and guild rankings WvW will never be great.

Can you imagine the work in producing all those effects so we can fight properly??

just hope that firebrand wont be like shouts guads leeching players, well at least will provider better support while leeching form ally kills loooool.

I can definitely see this messing up guardians real hard.

Guardian got screwed with this new elite spec It will be farming meat to all other specializations.

every guard build is farming meat…. inc dagger signet warrior who cares about blocks?
oh wait bzerker already does it xD

Well I dont have problems with warriors/bers with my hammer sw/sh build. But I will farm firebrand so hard with it. Especially in 2 weeks when that beta comes. Berserkers will destroy them so easily especially new elite spec with unblockable attackw and that op new 234 combo.

well thats what i am expecting to happen, cause guard surviability if hostile can ignore the only defenses class has… wich isnt hard to bypass aegis/blocks.
team up with a necro boon rip and converting boons lol… firebrand QQ
Just stay out of the fire tome place due the massive fire stacks burst possibility.

Btw check the mantras cast time

Vargamonth.2047 well, https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Aegis
this is what the trait should do..^^

Theenjietube.5702, ANet removed those rules, if you can make cannons cripple and bleed, and if i recall fire destroyes get burn by fire lol…. unless Anet re-added that rule again…

Players dont need to pay atention to elemental counters on this game…wich would actually a kewl thing to add.

Vargamonth.2047, blocking some random autos atack and aoe tick is what makes Anet capable of adding more blocks to guardian, wich means more heal on block or damge on block while blocks burning targets.

I think its a good trade off, the mess is on the offensive where the game gets very easy to play where teamplay is barelly no existent.

IF Anet swaps just the shield trait with the hammer trait i would buy instantly the expantion ;|

well i hope so :\, at least hoping guardian gets some changes on core some for better some for worse, cause firebrand is 2012 core guard on steroids :\ that makes every utilities on core guard extremelly weak,with the exception of meditations wich is what always and mostley what only worked on core guard….

swapping shield to virtues and hammer to the meditation traitline where shield is, IMO would be a good start.. traited shield and virtues on one go really feel very guardian(ish) *and players that use hammer usually use meditation for Ji+hammer ring combo… so it would be better defined build to swap these two, shield provide more close support wich fits nicelly with consecrations and has a dome as well.
(guardian core traits need a bit of a checkup some dont feel right where they are, and some core traits need a slightly bit stronger effect)

That would make shield good to use with whatever elite traitline and main hand weapons…. player uses….

im sceptical about this changes….. the difference wont be noticeable i would bet.

oh wait bzerker already does it xD

just search on google for meditaions guardian builds, thats the only thing that works on core, anything else is leeching teammates work…

it makes sense ;\ …. people will need to buy the new toys, it even shadows the DH…

For some reason it feels that this new spec will be even more dps’er than DH, Dh w/o traps power creep momment is a free kill lol… and DH is awfully designed.

LughLongArm.5460:

For Hot, the power creep and having the elite specialization trait line as a default was unavoidable. But for the new upcoming elite specializations, I really hope and want to believe it wont be the case. The elite specializations must compete with the old HOT elite specializations.

well i still would love more damage on DH F2 virtue when the damage on landing is traited..:\ at least more base damage, the heal could be a bit boosted as well, Guard vietues are ment to be strong any ways besides that DH is just a trapp spammers that cant deal with mediocre players( when ic a DH expetinf me to trigger their traps while i notice the trap animation… yeah right), DH is awfull due the trap utilities ith onlyworks in a power creep momment.

oh and if ANet changed sudently traps for something else even if was just simbols it would be far better that the trap’s as utilities -.-#

DeceiverX.8361:

I tried BDO with friends and none of us lasted. I just use it to showcase characters I make for D&D.

The gameplay was mediocre and the lag is rubbish, the story is so bad they’d have been better off just outright not making one, endless gear grind, etc. etc.

No thanks, I’d rather just not play video games.

And the bad things u could do……. invunerable protection on castle/zone conquering wars :|

Most mmo makers are awfull nowadays, they just care to make a game where wont give the much work… wel lthat backfired ANet inovation….and product quality, game ended not offering much and what they add it will feel it wont belong to the game…

Still…. BDO in some aspect is far more inovative than gw2….guilds matter… as well..
Seamless Map
Guild Wars / Guilds conqering zones in map , guild ranks.
pve-pvp hybrid
Housing system is quite funny as well

gw2 besides skins skritting i cant think off much…. raids and fractals, i always felt as strange contentas if does not belong to the game..just something forcep added to the game
*wich imo is one of the problems of the game, content feels “disconected” as something random that was added *

ANet needs to focus 1 expantion to WvW/pvp only… and instead of a new elite trait would just be a normal new trait that could work with any weapon/utilities we have, make racial class elite skills, as asuran engies could fix golems for examples…
Alot could be done… pitty this is ment to be a pve game only……………

that stalward stand :|

this is really core guard on steroids… RIP core guard xD

Ragnarox.9601,()

(…)

Did you read the trait tooltip?

It’s a Daze when activating a skill with a 1.25s cast time on an 8s cooldown plus a 33% chance to Bleed on one set of weapon skills… Hardly OP.

You guys don’t even read the skill descriptions properly, you haven’t seen everything or actually played it, yet you run to the forums to complain?

You should play Jump to Conclusions instead, it’s the game for you!

ill rewatch the video from peachy now on the pc , i checked it on the phone… since i missed the ICD, and yeah i noticed bleed was 33% chance on axe skills… i didnt jump do conclusions…. just some part missed due tiny screen :\ where the daze was on first strike/tick? of the symbol of veagence (the axe skill):\

is there any ohter source rather than peachy video(as in text source)?

theres more aoe, more condi spam, and a ton of visual effects, overall more lag for sure what else is needed???

witcher.3197:

HoT won’t become F2P which is a good sign. What that means is they still want to sell HoT so they can’t have the current elite specs be overshadowed entirely by the new ones.

But I’m not holding my breath for it either. We’ll see.

well hot classes should be made avaliable on the gemstore so players could unlock them. at least that.
it would be like buy hot in modules…

They did something similar in GW1. They sold PvP unlocks that opened up content for PvP-only to people that wanted it. I wonder how popular such an idea would be for PvP only players.

well gw1 was(IS) a pvp game with pve… gw2 is a pve game pretending to have pvp, wich imo for pvp players alone i dont thing theres a such thing nowadays…. those players already bailed out.

Adrenalin.5719, that happens cause DH was a awfully bad designed…. like most stuff in hot was…

Effective due power creep momments its not a good design, even worse since Anet never cared much about how balance since class were always designed for surviability and damage on pve mainly.

(EDIT) its the new reseource guard will need (pages) if u notice theres a trait to increase your page resources as well.

Looks like tomes are timegated by CD and resource.

Ragnarox.9601, for what it looked, virtues traited to castfire on a target zone plus new stuff to add more burn and faster nothing more since it wont be a healer like water ele nor druid, ANet is making a gimmick trough what is op(condi spam) to carry the players nothing more, still its a very unmobile combat… easilly killed.

core guard falled extremelly^2 behind due new specs condi spam, and firetrash might be dangerous while supporting players ganking coreclasses… LOL

Mantra of solace i assume is the mantra heal????
3 casts, with 1k heal on first, 3k on last, but aegis on 2nd and 3rd cast…on 30 seconds CD…

sound good on paper… but how the game works with favoring power creep… easilly overhwelmed….

oh and probbaly Unrealenting crit*somehting will be nerfed…33% chance on daze targets and bleed with no CD.

it wont be a druid nor a water healer… not all support means heal, but will continue to do small heals like any guardian do

this is my reaction by just watching a few stuff from the classes…..

“not gona make the same mistake i did with hot and burn myself”

Justine.6351:

An animation for the ground cascade would be good too.

This confuses me. There is an animation. A very obvious one, too.

Sometimes on WvW animation wont show due the ammount of gaphicall clutter being loaded.
Reason why i play with combat log to controll what is hitting me and i dont see.

u know u lost 7k-10k form a rev hammer skill cause u have it on combat log
