Guild Wars 2

Big Tower.5423:

thanks, but i don’t care about damage. i only want tankiness :P

That does not exist in this game, to achieve something similiar u need to play in a organized group.

It happened to me once, got everything ok after a overworlf reinstall.
See if u dont run OW after the game is running sometimes that borks up and does not show comms in game.
Other than that make support ticket to overwolf team.

zMajc.4659:

They should really make a universally available passive run speed for all classes. Playing a guardian and a mesmer is sometimes a real pain the kitten.

or just make 1 or 2 classes to having this as passive! >_>

Guild commendation would make effect on the active guild at the moment, by the logic.

Phoenixlin.8624:

If they say “We understood that megaservers are the worst idea ever thought. It fixed nothing and broke lots of thing. We are returning to the old system”, it will satisfy me.

The problem is that Anet do not realise they screwed the pooch on this one. All they see are $$$ from China sales, so all is well.

One first has to understand there is a problem before admiring mistakes were made. Since Anet is incapable of the former, the latter is out-of-the-question.

About China players i really want to see what is gona happen whith every one scatered and trying to enter friends overflows, even on wvw counter bugs due the numbers of queued players (although wonder if they just don’t bother the 1 spam key ).

Reason i feel megaserver + overflows do not combine in a good game development (final product delivered to players), but each one to his own.

i rather have a megaoverflow X)

When there are other classes that have same range as traited longbow ranger with better utilities, class becomes “useless” for that role, it works more like a “forest druid” with a pet and a axe.

ungascarlo.7459:

so we mesmers are less useful now because one of our best utility (reflects) are useless now.. nice job…

you guys are still loved in wvw X)

Except that we hate being veilbots and portalbots and want to tag for loot as everyone else.

With that role u can tag enemy also just requires communication.

Use your reflect + Guardian WoR against omegas.

clones spam, always funny to see most players get lost on them.

Viking Jorun.5413:

Rangers aren’t bad, it’s the mindset of the majority of players who play them. “Ranger” typically infers ranged combat(…).

what made me delete my ranger was engi can achieve 1500 in nades range and has same range of the longbow with faster spam and woe conditions.

Cactus.2710:

Straegen.2938:

If I could do one thing and only one thing, it would be to convert the system from Server warfare to Guild Alliance warfare.

Guilds could make guild alliances and declare war on non-allied guilds. Each week the matching algorithm would put guilds together into a pool to fight two other pooled group of guilds using guild play hours, guild play times, guild alliances, etc to balance out the match as best as possible. WvW scoreboards would highlight guild and guild alliance victories for bragging rights.

But … but … but … but . . . . . . that sounds like fun, would make a lot of sense, and take some effort from ANet. Therefore it has not a prayer of ever happening.

Would be cool to a just have one world like Eve and all alliances had territory to conquer Ç_Ç

Shadey Dancer.2907:

Is exceptionally powerful at puling foes from walls, even out of line of sight. However, in light of spectral grasp getting hammered, why has this remained unchanged, especially added to the fact that it hits multiple foes? Obviously mesmers don’t want this touched (cant blame them for that) but what do you guys think?

(please leave this topic thread here and not be moved to the mesmer discussion thread—this is a wvw topic—thank you)

Stability… teamwork.

Dint they have a similiar Story teller ??? It is not a new buy story model, they are just adding stufff that was on gw1(step by step).

Guarnerre.8720:

I log in because i have nothing to play till ArcheAge is released

was a huge disapoint when i tryed that game, some mobs remmember silk road mechanics, on the other hand, naval warfare and sandbox w/o overflow, are a must for all next gen mmo’s.

All the last patch/update of gw2 have made the game harder. Trains are gone (queensdale and old frostforge) and dungeons are getting harder (some of the old tactics dont work anymore). People are quitting the game because best itens are almost impossible to buy and the best ways to make gold are being destroyed by gw2. From my usual group of friends to create a party (about 13 people), only 3 of them keep playing everyday since the last update. Im getting frustraded too and i just dont get what is the point of this.

thanks.

People were crying to remove champ train in Queensdale and FG. And now they got their wish people are complaining why is it remove….just amazing.

Next are the EOTM trains X)

I have high hopes for EOTM trains to go, the fact that Anet produced a brilliant map full of character and it has been invaded by PvE players who have actually said and I quote “This isn’t a WvW map don’t kill people”.

Well, imo players are not the one to blame if they are pve players ill welcome them in wvw at any time, servers also need some cannon fodder to X).
Dev’s need to adress the reason that leads players to this kind of behavior, being the bad drop system this game has, RNG or anything else, IMO craftsmanship and RNG needs a litle rework.

Moleless.1462:

You should aim for around 800-1k healing power, 3.2k toughness and 18k hp. With that you should be kitten near unkillable. Contrary to what the guy above me said, healing power is a kittenload more useful inside a zerg than vitality is. Vitality means nothing when there’s 40 people dropping damage on top of you. You need sustain to tank that and that comes throguh healing power.

Or get arround 30k -31k on your guardian and relly on well coordinated waterfields.

Torvarren.6295:

MMOs need money like people need oxygen.

i need both!

Deathmond.7328:

Even with new trait and 2000 condition damage I don`t feel retalation like “condition”. And if you go something like 6\6\x\x\x with guardian you don`t have any predicition to survive.

that sounds worse than a rally bot o_O, it kittens me CDI’s are taking to long.

install gw1 and press B X)

Since they made the retrait free , for sure Anet is taking care of that

Svarty.8019:

Warrior is unquestionably OP atm. Just learn it.

^this.

They only need to improve mobs AI.

Tiresias.6473:

As a preorder player, I would like to ask that the traits not be locked behind event completions. I just started a new Guardian, and the task of unlocking all of her traits is beyond daunting.

I can understand elite traits being locked behind tasks, but the rest of them? Leveling a new character is supposed to be fun, not a chore.

Indeed played a lowbie th eother night and have the same impression and feeling, if we had more stuff to unlock players would feel more the progression of the character.

Imo, problem is not the story itself but how the LS was being dropped to the players, 2 thing thats this game does wells are the graphics and story-lines, player only wanted to press 1 key for the drops no point of following the story, blob after blob, teams getting separated on different overflows, this events design was IMO what was wrong and people felt it was a storyline fault.

p.s problem with gw2 are the lack of mechanics that do not allow a “true mmo experience” besides the zerg rushes where every looks lost.

Why the hate?

Gw2 besides graphics is a very stale game without room or space to improvements, players just dont have any other kind of free MMO with eye candy visuals.

Meglobob.8620:

My view on the living story is that its created some brilliant/excellent content and also some really awful content, with everything in between.
(…)

If they could bring some of those to us via living story, I would like/respect the living story a lot more!

Actually when Anet talked about Living world at the time, i tough they would implement new mechanics overall not only 1 skill, a few traits, and 1 new map that was abandoned on the next month, atm just waiting to see where the mega-server blob is going to help this game, besides helping the living story and the heroes of the zergblob pure randomness spam.

True Story

So, Where are the REAL Living World, and the Next-Gen Designs??

They were left for gw3.

-Redesign map and castles structure with sandbox element where guilds could select wich castle wanted to build and wich elements.

-The Mist would be an entire island continent (similiar to tyria or even an another tyeria in another dimension) with areas to conquer and control and draw ppt from its camps.

- Guild flying siege ships for air raids.

-Add a politics system for alliances to help ranks and commanders.

- Underwater Castle for those who liked to control a version of Atlantis

- Several technologies trees for guild to level up and define what kind of strategies would work better for them.

- no player limit X)

- Movable siege with new siege as the Charr Panzerz

- New values for siege and walls depending on tech evolution.

-Mist Npc with high level would be dammn hard and have new skills as giant shokwave etc.

- Add a mechanic that would allow guilds/alliances defend castle and surrounding area for several days if possible, Tresure chest spawn after 7 days with the castle with a chance of presecursor needed mats or even ascended gear.

Unfortunately gw2 is a fork of GW1 engine with some better modifications, and would not allow nothing else thanthe stale and small themepark model.

P.S: Change the Useless Grand Pavilion thing to a GvG Arenas area.

Conditins are OP(on small scale) yet they need coordination and teamwork to work on big group fights, that makes it being balanced ;P

Shadow.3475:

No will not work. What then will happen is when blue server plan to attack Green servers Garry they send 5guys on green server to destroy all siege in Garry.

5 players taking a empty server?

Hyung.6140:

yanniell.1236:

People should read about the megaserver’s tecnology before say things like “i don’t wanna play with people i’ve never seen before”.

I was saying that because I’ve experienced the megaserver technology.

Reading about it makes it sound like you do get to play with people you know… but going in game and heading to most PvE maps (or EOTM) mean it’s an endless sea of new anonymous faces.

Megaservers have been terrible, I’d hate for them to ruin the last part of the game where they don’t apply.

+1 im used to see players from my server, guilds that i recognize, its the randomfest on random overflows, it is not a improvement at all.

make it less castles but mor epic design, make more camps while camp resources ment server supply and +ppt.

it should be hard to castle a castle yet they easy as taking AB shrines on gw1.
-small maps.
-Limited strategies
-glitches

if this isnt solved season 3 will be as equal season 2 and 1, same maps, same guilds, we might have 1 new trait or healing skill….

Alysia.4635:

Aeolus is right.

Plus: think in EB, you can siege towers with lots of trebs, cata, ACs… for 24 hours. I dream an Overlook keep as a small Mordor

Only big zerg groups could take it: in high tiers could work (but not so sure). In low tiers, ppl would leave WvW.

on lower tiers that would meke player to get more organized and brainstorm more ways to get stuff

despawn would be abused by trolls, i like those siege implementations if the trolls issue could be adressed.
Or maybe reason to guilds starting use more guild siege where only guild members could despown it, unless other guild takover the siege (enemy commander would have an option to takeover enemy siege).

instanced sanbox zone? :P

soapingwet.4810:

Yes, but they probably won’t listen because it’s going back to GW1 and their pride will be at stake.

then lets hope all server gets merged to one server with no overflows XD
and they can produce better content than a DPS timegate festival.

Cactus.2710:

Aeolus.3615:

so overflows of WvW… i dont even…… for some reason eotm is bad (and im being nice calling it bad).

I guess you’re right. WvW is all perfect just the way it is now, right?

Offcourse not, but bringing overflows to WvW it is bad design also it would made the wvw more useless or as useless as EOTM.

There are several ways to make WvW a good experience but one of the two, Anet/NCSoft not willing to make it happen or game tech looks a little bit limited not allowing much options to be left.

Phule.1968:

Server identity and server pride for example, some may agree and some not. Guesting could work and that without any real issues really, i.e You guest an alliance who play on D server, your home is B server, and enter wvw with your 30 man group. You all get wxp and karma n all but the only benefit for the D server comes from the players who reside on the D server, all other xp earned from the grp don’t add up D servers points.

My personal thoughts are simply, I keep server pride close at heart just for old times sake, being involved in mmo’s sine early 2000 where server pride meant just about everything. But that’s just my 2 cents.

Free guesting on wvw would increase siege trolls, unless they had siege use locked.

MasterYoda.8563:

I came back to the game after a six month break and the tournament had already started. Plus the server I was on people left in mass so no way I was sticking around, now just trying to find a new home.

You now belong to the megaserver theres no escape!

GL

so overflows of WvW… i dont even…… for some reason eotm is bad (and im being nice calling it bad), about megaserver i dotn even know where to start why is not being accepted, i think u read the forums to.

yanniell.1236:

As stated many times above, random is bad. But the OP is not so far away from the solution. What we need is an alliance vs alliance vs alliance system and the megaserver’s instances tecnology. That will preserve some form of pride and guarantee even battles and that you’ll be placed in the same instance as your guildies and friends.

that sounds like called Queue wars.

grifflyman.8102:

Stagnation. What’s the main reason we still play PvE? Content patches and living story.

zergfest race smash keys bececouse makes damage content, no ty! better time playing 2048 or defending on wvw.

Menaka.5092:

grifflyman.8102:

Menaka.5092:

Only benefit is the appearance?!

Guild catapults hit like Superior Catapults and cost only 25 supplies to build (Superior costs 60), so you can do twice the damage with less supplies. They are expensive for a reason.

I’m talking about the ones bought with tokens, not with guild influence

Wiki don’t mention any difference between the two, are these a different blueprint?

only changes the skin if im not in mistake.

rather have timmed inner fight in the server ending the WvWvW mode, there are several castles in tyria that look abandoned, also Atlas could be a system like the LS to add new maps to the world that Tyria belongs

-no overflows
-each server was a stanalone server
- no more QQ ?

since its expensive stuff would make sense a larger spawn life.

yanniell.1236:

Aeolus.3615:

i dont want to play with randoms from other servers… tks..

Except that with the megaserver’s system, you would be playing with your guildies and friends.

yes a core would be players from my partial server others would be random, also the server i play dont have queues so im happy, dont want that to get broken (max i had was a queue of 8 on a reset night), and for last the server i play makes and very good effort “from some players” to get server well organized on wvw.

Aomine.5012:

That’s an easy one, because if you don’t freaking transfer out, Anet cannot earn a freaking penny from all you WvWers.

Anet actually HATES loyalists, so don’t bother thinking you loyalists would be rewarded with anything.

your are so wrong, i only play wvw and im a server loyalist, i spend alot on gems.

i could say Anet hates dungeon zerkers and nerf their farm becouse they avoid to buy gems? yet i know im wrong also.
