Guild Wars 2

Ragnarox.9601, like all of those minimal change, the aegis trait for speed would be really really nice, it would fit well on the DH i guess.

AGamer.3168, the only thing that went badly was the choosed servers to merge with others, didnt change nothing some server keep getting blobbed/karma train.

@Loosmaster.8263 most wvwrs are like that, 4 rams lots aoe eles and i dont see a water on rams and run away since all play zerker/squishy to easy aoe damage on commander order, they dont even get to easilly counter my siege with siege, just move to a empty tower with o zero and zero defender (in this situation my server was outmaned and i was alone with a ac…last week i made a blob run away by shooting a normal ac doing arroud 100-300(max 450) damage…).

dual dagger for guardian and stealthwars, since we already have bow and traps.

And needs to be OP so i can prettend to be good.

NOTE: got nothing against thiefs, just just asking for somethign to carry me away on guardian, i already have that on other classes.

Guys buffs like that is one of the things that killed Desert BL, it is the WROGN things to add to a themepark games it makes game worse, and u guys know how is the balance done here…..

testpig.5018:

no, i want to give players incentives to engage in all corners of the maps. So that better fights happen on a regular basis using ALL of the maps locations.

The buffs that keeps should give should be WvW centered, no speed, no damage boost, no gimmick win solution, but “tool” based.

That would be interesting, problem is that Mace 3 can be single trigereg at range, and targets can trigger easilly mace 3 and evade easilly, altough would be a positive change :\ i guess.

It hardly get fixed when u guys at Anet dont change where and what the real issues are.

TallBarr.2184:

Josh XT.6053:

Don’t play condi, problem solved.

Its new meta, but not rewarding beaquse game dont register perma cripple, vulner and burning.

Dont play DH, problem solved.

Staff ele is fine besides, it would make sense to make game with less aoe and less cleave over all classes, and then improve one strong skills or 2 ele skills for more than 5 targets.

The real issue is the walls or keep/castle cheap layouts, walls should be larger in some places, Alpine bay outter walls are easilly places to blob with aoe,, make defenders avoid that wall due aoe radios will be on inner side of the wall also.
AC’s that barelly touch the wall and look like floating even o that wall take damage, while theres alot of siege counters for the south walls, blob aoe is just way to easy gameplay on this game.

I dont understand why many QQ about AC’s, while those groups keep spamming banners…GG @ effort. where some groups easilly recover with water blasts.
-On normal AC i do 300 damage
-On superior AC i do 1k to 2.2k max on very squishy players and sometimes i hit arround 700 damage.
-Easy to counter.
-Toweres and keeps have alot of easy take places, it is the players quality when they run a way from a normal ac doing a little more than 100 damage.

azyume.6321 how gw2 is ment to be played, skill and aoe spam all that matters.

Ragnar the Rock.3174, that is due https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Martyr lol

if necros can corrupt boons save yourselves should transform pulled condis in boons :P, but it would be dangerous to get boons corrupted after that lol

@players, more sugestions would be apreciated, i got bored after a few minutes playing :|

@Ravenmoon.5318 even so, game would be fine with just a small tune for mobs, since mobs tend to Lack AI, for less cacls i would not be bad.

xeonage.1253:

Balance Logic :
PVP > RAID > WVW > PVE

A.net Logic :
RAID > WVW > PVE > PVP

Actually WvW…. blob aoe balance?
I dont think they know even where to start from… they only do minor changes over one thing or another once in awhile on the top classes.

EremiteAngel.9765:

she’s only sleeping! so don’t shout and wake her!

To late, i think the OP alrady made a funeral….lel.

I dont have nothing against at solo roamming but, wanting to do everything solo in a online siege gameplay, well… IMO ic it the mentalitty that wrecked the game, not the havock or solo, but the way people want everything delivered easilly.

Cut down boons would damage guardian even further class rellies to much on them, and sacrifices to much one thing for another already

Some of the boons or condis should be specific class only.

was expecting much bigger blobs, and dammn other serverhas alot of paper players :|

u guys should do a full group with only reapers and hammer revs XD, they would melt faster at range.

Magira.6390, get a team a 2 or 3 players, u cant be expecting to do it all alone.

Puck.9612, so true, tanky and those evasionness capacity :| while still doing some good damage.

Ellieanna.5027:

Aeolus.3615:

I believe Anet sums up Forum loggins plus game loggins for final results.

That would be a silly way to determine numbers. I should not count as 2 people when I log in the forum and log into the game.

Some people will read the forums to see if the game has changed and they want to return. Some people will never go to the forums but log in every day.

They are seperate and should never be counted together to give final results.

I love when people tell i worth 2 or more people

Puck.9612:

MaximillianVonSchatten.6278:

Maybe if EVERY roamer wasnt a cheese mesmer it might be fun. It’s not fun fighting air.

I haven’t had any problems with mesmers since they toned down their burst damage. It was annoying being insta gibbed from stealth. Now they actually have to fight and unless they are real close to a tower they can’t escape if they start to lose.

It was anoying…. dead for usign blocks, after dodge burts still few seconds later burst RIP , etc…

I had some situations when i got confusion at the last second before i press shelter and those blocks doing 4k damage per block on myself, with me trying to cancel block.. wel to late RIP, still trying to understand how mesmer where doing that since confusion was the only condi that wast being removed, since i play with blocks removign condis, and shelter should remove a condi per second.

Nowadays im getting ganked by teams of 5 DH (lold, that run away if then need to fight 3 players, they only engage on 5 vs 1), and groups of 5 daredevil/thiefs.

@Magira.6390, yes theres other players playign the game, camps are to be defended against roammers, would you want a empty BL to solo cap?

Make sugestions to change that, support other players sugestion and give them feedback etc, only way to improve the game.

I dont see anything wrong people dueling on wvw, but if happens to get blobbed they cant complain, sameif blob( cluster of bad players relying in AOE most of the times) finds the duelers cant complain either.

Abe Kleine.3568, i use SoA againt DH, its supper effective, absorving, bow range, GS binding blades, zealot embrace,zealot defense, and probably spear of justice.

Also command, gives me a block, and block when used heal me for a small amount(that needs to be boosted) and removes a condi.

Edit: i am making a guardian change sugestion to Anet ill cover SW there as well, they are a funny model to play problem is that the atacking weapons never reach the enemy due evasion and speed boost/mobility of the targets and they die with one or 2 skills.

Smallest size asuran, get mixed on necro minons, most players wont be able to select u.

But Mea.5491 DPS is life DPS eveything this game, wich actually is.

I believe Anet sums up Forum loggins plus game loggins for final results.

Maybe arround 24 mil at max and this is being positive, since it has less than gt5 and gt5 might have more than 30 mil players.

The reliks i doubt they will be introduced due same reasons they were removed, and it was a good decision let them keep that way.

Sirbeaumerdier.3740 and Johje Holan.4607:, IF u guys want orbs back, the mechanics itself needs to be different, and what improvement would do to the game?
Best way to avoid exploits of grabbing the orb and fly away would be needed to pack it on a doyliak and protect it as an event.

Another thing that needs to be adress (in my opinion)is when 2 blobs atack a 3rd homeland and they need to split forces, this enforcing playing own Bl with splited forced it does not have the feel of being at home, wich means that is arround 2 groups of 40 for 2 groups of 80 , sometimes less for 2 stacked groups.

The sugestion would be remove South west and East camps so that the home server dont need to splits or run like a maniac form hills to bay hills to bay hills to bay hills to bay… well you guys get the idea…

By removing the left and right camp, would lead to fights for the atacking servers for dispute over the central south map, thus that camp could have some compensation because woould be desirable camp, it could be adder some small defensive structures to help the atacking server holding the camp, some sorta of accampment for the troops while it is owned, or a defensive outpost/supple while homeland owns it.

A server homeland should be a bit harder for the atacking team, with this i think it would create more encounters, more decisions to be made, and more strategie.

South camp outpost concept:
-> Claiming system wich meant cant be soloed, since structure is more designed for defense/group invasion, needed 5-10 claims (players to claim it).

-> Defensive structures (minor wooden wall with 2 or 3 opens, no gates, and 1 or 2 wooden towers where players can build pre made cannon like ruins.

-> 2x veins of supply inside the outpost with 2x capacity , since 2 supply camps were removed, who would not want that camp?

Another possible sugestions to Alpine map:
->Stairs from Spawn to Garrison, huge gate gets closed if Garrison is conquered, players loose that fast advantage.

-> When garisson weypoint is summoned, main waypoint is disabled, this to balance a bit the movement for the north camp and north towers.

they reduced night capping already?
It is a nice easy fix, but also way to mask how faulty wvw is….

For the players that strongly want to contribut for yoru server, please move county… i dont think this is a fair change.

lol and we would see one viable build for each class? no please, as i only play DH on WvW and i would not like to be forced to use bow/trap awfull skillset.

Forced to play gimmick metas? no please, i like build variation makes game clever and fun in some way, not who plays best at the gimmick.

WvW would be in worse state if was changed to use spvp trinkets system.

A seriously QoL would be making the game less aoe’ish, more clever play more know who and how to team spike/gank etc.

@Swimsasa Stoon.8936 your talking about spvp ?
I dont see other place where DH is that OP effective, (againts a niche of players offc), it works there due damage output, a thing that can be easilly nulified if there were defensive stats working on some classes (the removed trinkets), while those classes could stil do alot of damage…

Rock, paper, scizor is a nice model, but even that has some niche builds doing to much or without scrificing much as others do.

P.S: i actually think DH are quite weak and easy to defeat, since i play a more defensive aproach to DH, like i said DH works only when power creep exists, if i play a bunker spec form other class i would kill them even easyer since i would still have good damage output and probably mores sustain, and would not be pin holed to a slowpoke movement class, by the way, even the horrible and weak spirit weapon can give problems to a DH.

The main issue is that some classes on sturdier specs can be very efective on offensive and defensive, guardian isnt, lacks damage, lacks sustain defensivly as other classes do, for offensive and defensivly does not had much other classes stacked to a better job.

Vikkela.7261:

Aeolus.3615:

And the defensive guardian is very easy to be defeated, since most traits are vannilla and outdated.

We live in sad times.

I think im going to propose a few changes thread for mace/shield defensive gemaplay, cause atm we cant even help neaby players, ill i do is use skill 5 from shield traited with DH dulled sense, so KB targets get crippled for a spike, use shouts for condi removeal even so spam sometimes is to much, guardian down state, 2nd skills not kb players that dont have stability, most time do ground inclination, sometimes also happens in flat damage.
To many stuff not working…..way to much stuff not working, this is my main style of play on gw2 i play since release and it becomes worse and worse and worse, a game envolves by creating also more play styles not disabling those 3 or 4 to create a meta with one viable build, that is not how good games are built arround.

Ill try to build something arround this, cause we need some builds besides Dh using GS or hammer medi/trap.

-Spirit weapons utilities and traits.
-Guardian simbols
-Consecrations utilities and traits.
-Renewed focus and wings of resolve, effects order.
-Mace related skills and traits.
-Shield related skills and traits.
-Downned skills
-Signets utilities and traits.
-Shouts also i feels it needs to be adjusted evenfor small combat, maybe diferent effects, more towards how game works at the momment.

emkelly.2371, to many people loving guardians, if guardians were trully balanced this game would be guardwars2, even so they added DH to guard, a awfull weapon/utilities concept IMO, where any bunker spec classes can kill a squishy DH since spam traps and run away is all they know to do.
DH does not work if there no powercreep situation, any bunker spec on other classes still has much better sustain than bunker guard, and does much more damage than bunker guard.

XD, reason Anet hates the class, to many players would switch to the blue fire class.
So it needs to be outdated aka balanced to avoid huge population playing the class.

It is a class concept minor issue at the end.

>:]

Usually using packect editors on gw2 results on extreme lag and frame rate drop on the player that is being atacked since other side need to acompany the event speed.

It might not be ddo, Seiroxena.6350 try to mask your ip with some proxy or if better a gamming vpn.
I used one to play Black desert on japanese server, but was a piad one (a friend lended me his account), i had a very very good ping from europe, ill try to see the proxy name cant recall the service name.

@Peura.3796, ddos players and games server is more common than u can imagine. its part of the games…

Those are the small game design tweaks that make games great and fun, skills work, having some builds towards pvp only, while other builds dont work on pvp or WvW and some dont even work on any of those modes, this really needs to be adressed.

Monk Tank.5897:

Make every developer go play GW1 from Pre-searing through Eye of the North.

heheh, would be mandatory question “how many hours you have on your gw1 toon?”.

@Just a flesh wound.3589 CC them before use AOE.

That is the reason some of players want more mobs with harder A.I, by using evades/boons it makes better fights (as much i hate condi design….)

Also more mobs with boons would help condi builds with the corruption or coverting them to condi.

Saiyan.1704, one big rule is, never change what works :], improve it but dont get out from its conceptif it works.

Rin.1046, actually i would prefer to see cleave and aoe skills number reduced across all 3 gamemode, would be fun to see players need to know how to spike and gank well, knowing wich target needs to be atacked, w/o leeching from all the aoe/cealve extra damage floating arround.
Imagine staff ele now with a good aoe spells that hit more than 5 and has a bigger radios, since there less skill spam and less calcs server side some skills could be improved.

tough inner gate from garri never upgraded lol…. cause i dont remember to see it upgraded even on a t3 garri, reason most blobs use wg???

Yes and No, deppends HOW and WHAT improvements that would bring to WvW.
And if those changes actually fixes many thing wrong on the core system.

@Swagger.1459, that is actually one of many solutions to solve the population issues, but Anet really needs the actual model, you see, the actual model creates a placebo effect of continuous fight with the redundancy and blob trains, w/o it WvW would die, also they dont actually do strong changes to make a real fix, they do minor patches over a broken system to make it decently playable, much cheaper than design the entire stuff again.

Iv’e said this in the past, but a 3 way faction system with several maps would be fine, no server rotation, more disperse guild and havoc groups across several maps, imagine WvW growing in number of maps, has its player base grows.

@X T D.6458, i dont think it is alpine that encourages blobbing (blobing could be a valid strategie) but the lack of insight in class/skill design, they tryed to make the game easy for everyone, but that resulted on a system hard to balance, that has show proof more than we can count hwo broken it is.

humm, i will keep saying, Anet should reduce the aoe and cleave number of skills, make them more similiar to gw1, and then compensate on classes that actually need some good aoe skill not lit limited to 5 targets :|

IF this was adresses for better gameplay, we would had a good pvp, better WvW less player leeching the stacked aoe, thus more skilled fights…

Atm skill balance/design might be the strongest issue on the game, game cant envolve decently with this skills design that enforces such gameplay.

IMO even pve would be much more fun if skills were to work more like gw1 skills.

Anet, banners would be fine if most skills were single target… much less mindless spam.

Vyrulisse.1246:

Mea.5491:

Since many people here want “more intelligent” mobs, let me tell you that here was a patch in beta when mobs used to dodge attacks and everyone was annoyed so they changed it back. If they ever give boons to the mobs, expect a lot of whining!

I really want to use my Necro’s Focus in PvE but it might be a better idea to give different effects to skills in PvE and PvP like some skills in GW1. Not sure why Anet won’t do that, we have such a small number of skills compared to GW1…

Think of the whining as birthing pains. Mindless DPS people will just have to adapt and learn to approach mobs with tactics and some small bit of planning. :P

People love to adapt if game gets even esier, people will whine if need effort.

GW2 is designed to be the antagonist of a game that requires strategies, just look at skill and balance concept. :| aoe spam, much AA with cleave,ment to mindless blob and tune for damage output.

Expect Scrappers to get buffed for more sustain.

Sich.7103:

X T D.6458:

-Alpine encourages blobbing, blobbing never occurred on dbl,

There was just not enough people on DBL to blob… And the recent prime time where people where forced to play on DBL because we had 80+ queue on EB you had big blob… Because no one want to run back for 5min if he is killed… Then people regroup..
(…)

Sich, i just LOLD @ blob excuse.

Sich, if all a gamemode has to offer is blob karma train that sums up pretty much the quality of the game, WvW should be improved beyond that….
DBL failled because game is way to empty lack of feactures, and Anet covered that lackness with win/win gimmicks, also players want fast rewards with low effort, alpine is much easy and faster to cap.

Lost time working on that sutff, guardian blue stuff needs to be blue for visual identification.

Spirit weapons dont exist.

Aegis, as much guardian has traits to manipulate aegis, more classes have access to that spell, once again visual identification of skill.

Reapings.5938, to much expensive and time consiming stuff to produce and would even bork up the game.

or reduce the number of server to 3 factions, and start makign more maps :|
Use the phisical servers to hold more maps, more team more player s to call help form bl to bl etc.
then add more feature/tool that arent gimmick based for guilds and tools for players create temporary groups havoack squads, where they can be rewarded for disrupting. theres a gazilion of ideas to be added.

Game will never be balanced while Anet forces a broken Skills design system, and aplying filters will result in awfull balance, while that skill system isnt touched game will be a mess.

echo.2053, guardian still has one even so.. was a awfull concept.

same still playing mace/shield as much pain it is.

Still have the 80 instant tome on my bag :\
