Guild Wars 2

imo 2 months is to much… some servers will be in pain due imba matchups and bad linkings.

i feel tempted to try those runes for my mace shield guard :| expensive????

i bet they will be nerfed once everyone using them..

Obtena.7952:

We aren’t going to get skill or tool that isn’t inline with the concept of the class.

Yeah, that is fulcral to guardian design, i really hope they stay inline with the class, still we dont have tools to escape nor sueviability to hold the line, and that is already not inline with the class.
Still…guard on bunker stats have less sustainbility than medium classes on non bunker class, i can hold more due super sustain on my engie than my bunker guard, imo this is where guard falled behind, and needs a few tweaks.

@Delgotta.3817

i prefer traited retreat+shout runes+traited aegis

-speed boost
-Remove condi arround nearby allies
-Transform condi from nearbt allies to boon
-Remove condi on aegis(block)+minimal heal from nearby allies
(shield 4 – another aegis with block and condi removal + mionor healing)

Im not a coward to but i use retreat alot, both ways if people nearby starts to get rekt from range pew pew.

Steelo.4597:

expect the new wvw warrior power meta build to hit the scene any day now – working on the last details / min max. pro scrapper / dh already got rekt repeatedly against someone running it first day, looks very promising. will let this forum know when it’s out.

wut

DH does not count to fight and test build rotations :P they are easy to beat….

u dont have those trinkets stats for wvw i guess?

i only use laurels merchant, so i might be wrong, if pve recipes makes all stats avaliable for trinkets.

What about the ascended trinkets are they inclueded?

Blacksarevok.8104:

Moving like a slug all the time.

Is Guardian the only class without a passive speed increase?

At Anet eyes guardian is the “bunkest” class of the game, does not have that speed becuase we can hold the line.

Retaliation did more damage in the past, but players QQ cause they dont wan tto stop atack the targets to avoid damage or wait until boon end, Anet nerfed, so players dont need to look what boons the taret has… gw2 what to expect?

Still confusion got a bit fixed because it is not a guardian condi.

Devona……. no comments.

you are nothing more than a ambient creature,… next time you kill one think of that damage.

Jelly Pain.8027:

We can’t blob. We don’t have population. All servers did not get effected by server pairing like Darkhaven. NSP does hide in towers behind siege unless you have a map q. Then you go after the less populated server because you can not win against HOD. We continue to fight both servers. We fight HOD more because even though we do not have numbers at least they fight more than turtle.

No worry, we also dont have that much population, when i log on it is DH or HoD painting our map side, and BL.
This last few days nsp have been outmaned, or like the NSP buff like we call it.

About hide in towers, it is not hide, who in its mind roams with DH and HoD groups in the BL??

It is not nsp player fault if they defend the towers, aka defend ppt for quite some time, it is some HoD and DH groups that prefer to only cap if its paper but i guess this occurs in every server in every tier, it is a how the game mode is ment to be played or forced players to play like this, itself forces players to search for easy stuff to do or leave.

Nowadays is so rare to see a group capping and figthing for stuff, need really to outman the adversary.. :\ when theres a fight, brin 20+ to defeat 4.

It needs to be done montlhy or in every match lol… population is a to unstable value, for this system.

Well, imo guard only need a few small adjustments:
- more team support.
- sanctuary change/
- better effective healing power or more health w/o using the trait
- trait SW need to be vanilla for the weapons.

A few QoL weapons adjustments and unrroot sword 3 skill, mace simbol, 3rd AA
cleave and heal from number of targets if possible.

Few adjustments like those over time,

Is it possible to tranfer to the “secondary” servers?

^a wild ranger apeared :]

Btw every 1 cares what others play when reaches player vs player.

MaximillianVonSchatten.6278:

Keep playing guard because melee is where its at and for all its shortcomings, guard is still the king of melee in large scale wvw battles.

I hate stealth. I hate dropping circles on the ground instead of hitting an opponent. I don’t like switching between 4 different weapons and skill groups. I hate pew pewing and yearghhh pirating. What’s left? Guard.

WvW is full of bad range players, my mace shield with SW SoA, sometimes is really nice when against full range pew pew players, dragonhunter hate to fight my build mos tof the times, sometimes i can even push, problem is the small scale ganks :P when figthing stacked gimmick spam builds, it is a 2 seconds fight due all the offensive capabilities Anet gave them…

pve yes, is to easy, if game wasnt about to be easy Anet would make the game with less aoe and less cleaves, still stronger aoe that hit more targets on longer cooldowns.

Gw2 players love the spamfest.

MrPinks.2015:

I am thinking about quit playing guardian
other classes have more trait line diversity , better utility sustain….why should i keep playing guard?

What made you play guard in first place??

Still if some builds defense gets tonned down, and damage output gets also a bit lower would not hurt the game, this would make many other builds viable imo, game wise not only spvp.

Metas are to strong, they need to be lowered, gw2 isnt a hard game to learn, more variety could be a good challange.

Luvpie.8350:

TokyoGhost.6492:

thanks

I really liked the Desert Borderland theme Popullation was the only issue

DBL caused the population issue so yea not really great.

population QQ because they took longer to karma train, still also was harder for the low population that ANY borderland have do defend it.

Alpine is easy to cross for both, now karma swarmers complain about defending teams reaching and defending their keep/tower/ppt with siege even if it is 1 defender.

To tel the truth, i do belive each server even on the same match will have diferent limit, at least i had strange values in the past, having queued players for that map, almost all players stacked on commander and we were like 18-25 at max, plus arround 10-12 players roammign arround.

but yeah the value might flutuate between 60-80 nowadays, if is the same value for all servers?
I doubt it.

Choppy.4183:

Eh, there is something to it, but you’re forgetting about condi clears. I’d personally like to see Dire deleted from the game though, because the risk:reward is way off.

That is what gw2 is about , why do you thing what is makign the game growing in popularity and more players?

That is because ravenent needed to become quite easy to play, to be accepted, it is like when a new hero apears in a moba, most of times is broken to be accepted.

WvW is probably forked on AB, was 2 faction system, i would be amuzed if WvW would became a continent with open pvp and territory to take.
THen add a ppt rate system for guilds and ladders, and for no guild players with havock missions.

X T D.6458:

I would like something with a fiery volcanic theme, like Ring of Fire Islands, or a map with different themes would be cool to.

I would love to see ^this.

But players will QQ about lava paths pve stuff… effort, cant karma swarm cause lava and fire touch my toon.

nsp has a very long empty time zone, almost all players are concentrated on the same timezone or avaliable play time, still we find large groups form other servers during our large playerbase time once in awhile.

dont know if SF has SEA guilds, but they shure are a big help during day time :\

ArchonWing.9480:

Oh no, stop. The price of superior arrow carts is dropping.

good im out of gold :| probably i can buy one now… lol, im tired of getting blobs away with a normal AC.
use to burn all cash on anti confi food…

oh yeah they reduced night cap ppt….Still imo it feels both are a outdated ideas that Anet dont want to change.

It is like going arround the issue, trying to fix it with small changes arround it that will result in much more changes than change directly what creates this issue.

./begone_forum_bug_i_expel_you!!!!

nsleep.7839, so true…. that just proves that the linking system is not the solution, that is how i see it…or at least not the only solution to be done.

Empty time zones VS active time zones, how much tweaks they do will always be the problem, add the bandwaggons, it will remain the same…

Vikkela.7261, SW could be designed to have no traits, just need to remove the trait and make it vanilla :P, SW trait fixed.

:o what if linked system means more profit, so banwagons move more often, or being forced to move to the winning servers? XD

/me grabs the thin hat foil.

No it absolutely does not. We do not need more immortality being given through a tempest. Right now condi is a pretty decent shutdown against an ele if it’s set up correctly. By giving resistance you’d have perma prot, resistance, almost perma reflect, and ridiculous heals all on 1 character. That is bad and should never be implemented imo.

would prolly be fine if resistance were changed to 33-50% damage reduction instead of 100%

Only if overall condi output gets reduced by 50%.

the complaint “there is too much damage” flies around all the time, yet any toon with perma protection can survive against 1 persons power damage indefinitely

Imo the issue is the sum of all , the team that overwhelms the adversaries more often will get a easier play.

This is what happens when classes are designed to pve aoe swarming and slammed into pvp, and that pvp balance is poorly done in fear that damages the game.

It should be the other way arorund….

I don’t see it ever growing while remaining stale with the alpines.

So do you also get tired of looking at the same football fields, same basketball courts, same baseball fields, etc??? Alpine is simply the field we’re playing on. It is well designed and works great for WvW game play.

The open field is significantly better on Alpine than it is on DBL and it isn’t a pain just to find your enemies. I don’t want to see DBL back, I don’t want them to change Alpine even. It is perfect as it is and since it has returned, myself and my guild have all greatly enjoyed having it back.

Alpine is mediocre as a map. It’s better than DBL was in November last year, but maybe not as good as the final iteration of DBL.

If they continue to tunning DBL over time i would become a good map, alot of tweaks were needed to be added and fixed to actually feel like a borderland.

But imo, the map was a good concept of ideas, but just as a concept, gw2 players arent that good to past some adversarities presented by Anet, no easy karma train etc…
Still for the Desert map to become that good would need many, many changes, even to keep layouts, some places were really horrible, Anet should keep more a realistic design and concept for those, it would be much more clean and simple.

What is strong in pvp is super strong in WvW …. with exception the dragon hunter

Durability runes are quite interesting, but most times i end with trooper and traited shouts due my positioning on the field :\, theres to much range damage and range aplyed condi spam.

The reason i was pondering the boon duration on the stability field even if boon gets corrupted it would re apply a longer boon than usual or even cast it on CC spam zone, but at the end u might be right, it is hard to maintain boons that longer due avaliable removals.

sidenote
IMO we should have more guardian usign at least Sanctuary if playign a support guardian, that way Anet could see how behind the skill is, in many ways, it is so sad when we kill another guardian at melee range and he is inside sanctuary…. most cases dont even need stability to get inside and dps it.

If skills are not used they wont even bother to see, due poor data, imo.

if aegis gets changed in future, would be to something like it was in gw1.

Why is “damage” ele trash?

80’ish per side

hold the line is a weak shout, while retaliation is useless, stan your ground is much better just due stability than hold the line with prot and regen :\

HtG needs a small buff or buff change.

Josh sorry to hijack your thread, but would somethign like this work on group fight?
*asking this due interesting results using boon duration and consecrations on the last days (by observing players behavior).
*one or tow doublon can be used for 100%boon duration on staff.

@CrimeMaker.8612, i did not notice that many players on t4……. when theres a blob will still look for empty stuff to take and change map if theres a defender or a group taking care of BL ….i changed my group play to defending and small havock near camps and towers, player only fight if they outman the target…

@Diku, i would say people need to fight if they want to win, instead of stack and expect to swarm everything to win, sadly this is my experience, seing servers winning due coverage and blob and go afk when match becomes balanced in player quantitiy because envolves fighthing and they loose every fight with similiar numbers, you cant imagine how happy i get when i find obtuse groups that dont quit a tower or certain obgectives.

part of the winning world would need to have effeort to win, imo this is the hard solution we need into WvW.

If im not on the winning world well…. bummer need to see whare we fail and make it better next time.

WvW needs to be structured in diferent way, a small merge or linking empty servers with almost empty server while bandwagons move to one that will imbalance population again, wont solve the main issues.

Imo we need far more less servers, and more maps :\

WereDragon.6083:

Death to Quaggans, only two I ever liked were Shashoo and Baroosh in Verdant Brink. Rest of em can burn.

I can share my Quagan soup recipe, it is quite gourmet.

would be a better balance on 8 man team than 1 vs 1….

DeWolfe.2174 glide into WvW is to dangerous and it is at another level, that would have to be super limited, limited to clesses, limited to 1 or 2, and with automatic fly paths to avoid abusing flying directo to keeps/towers.

imagine a mesmer glidding into a tower/keep, cause on game peeps think it is clever to build towers and keeps on valays... lold..

History proved that they need to be in higher ground, silly Anet.

humm, if DBL get out of WvW, with a few spwan changes would fit nicelly EOTM.

Guardians dont need something amazing to happen, just small quality tweaks over time.

As a NSP’er i have to say the same hats off to he SF players :|, when the re links(IF) happens all gona be missed.

Blade Of Gandara.6738, blade how can a server with that many players rise once to 10 and then most of time spend on the last tiers before the linkage????

it was not the linkage, players just stop playing or moved to another server, and your server got relinked due low active population on WvW.

Blade Of Gandara.6738@ got to http://mos.millenium.org and just observ where your server spend most of time.

Just re-organize with the actual WvW you have… many servers did that.
