Guild Wars 2

Kasmeer will die…

The only way to get an living world and map changing is called sanbox.

Pitty game devolopers, preffer to make old themepark stuff and label it inovative.

And about the Tanky Guardian part from Aeolus: I did not think of it that way, I just thought it was able to be like that if you smash in everything involving vitality and armor and such, but I guess it’s the other way around, thank you.

That is a bad build,in WVW i can reach 30khp in my guardian yet being downed with 2 hit since roll and block are limite, same goes on PVE, max u can be is a mace/shield with invader armor and vit trinket on a 0-0-30-30-10 build with soldier runes but i call that bad gameplay becouse game in PVE “forces” you to play zerker.

Best defense in this game is tryin to kill target as fast as possible, imagine gw2 as a press button to win.

Might have arround 40gold(counting with stuff to sell).
Might reinstall the game and trade it all for omega golems :<.

Aeolus.3615:

Every one loves the game until you try other mmo’s…
as GW1.

GW2 isn’t my first mmo. I have played several, even on a mac. More mmo’s have mac clients than people realize. One of them that I loved playing has recently shut down for good. With Codeweavers, I was able to play several Windows only mmo’s on my mac, including GW1. My opinion of GW2 being one of the best mmo’s that I have ever played is not a naive one.

For clarification, Codeweavers is not a hack program. It’s licensed software that allows mac users that don’t wish to bootcamp their hard drive to use windows applications. All games still have to be paid for/subscribed to.

Im codewavers and wine on linux side user, thats how i played gw1 for several years ^^, Gw2 is a good game that is undeniable but in terms on content is really short, most short mmo i ever played, the impression i have from gw2 is like the casual mobile/tablet games with daily rewards for skins and get gems to get stuff faster, thats why i said gw1 was a better game for that time than gw2 is nowadays.

What if i tell you theres no tanky guardian? o_o?

Just play Sword focus crit build with meditations…

Malchior.5042:

Nope, I still enjoyed GW 1 after trying other games (often times, it actually just rekindled by view of GW 1.)
(…)

Thats the problem, GW2 is a miss of every good thing gw1 had even classes mechanics are not worthy…

I might get back to gw1 also, since now not playing any mmo, miss my fat monk :/

and btw <3 ZoS.

Illusions.3108:

I am stacking toughness to defend against this crap and still am getting dropped faster than i can even counter it. Unless i am doing something wrong…

Unless you’re a tanky heavy-armor class, you can’t rely on stackings stats as your primary defense. You need to use your active defenses properly. Push the right buttons at the right time, and all that

Tanky armored is not a solution in this mechanics, atack is the best defense.

Played for some time a guardian with 30hp arround 3.6 armor and good crit and crit chance, still some builds could crit over 20k, no matter how many rolls and blocks u do even if u know the skill animations of your target, if players cant do damage to scare the target away or kill its a lost match.

Tanky armored is the worst gameplay in gw2.
Btw a good warrior can hit over 22k on killshot (on guardians) if he know what is doing and when to use it.

I doubt most of the ppl who use zoom exploit using window scaling.
1)It is hard and take lot of time to get it right

I’m fairly certain that stretching a window is a lot easier/faster than finding and installing an untrustworthy 3rd party app.

Yes but 3dr party programs make AC’s ignore some validations, as an example imagine spamming 1AC as if were like 10 AC’s inside a lord room hitting inner walls on Hills.

zoom it back, do the same thing :>

Combat is far from skill based, i went from clever play into a max damage possible, select target spike burst n kill change target, easy job.
GW2 is press buton to win.

Adian.8756:

Guardians are bad roamers? Haha

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4A_EAToDbd0

I beg to differ.

Yes they are, the effort of winning with a guardian compared to other classes is far superior, we dont have a press buton to win, wich is what gw2 is about.

Every one loves the game until you try other mmo’s…
as GW1.

mace+ shield compared with other weapons skills on WvW is mostly useless, Shield to KB is easilly avoided with 100% stability uptime and buble duration doesnt help since 90% of range damage is the massive AC spam.

Not funny when game mechanics put every player using same build depending on class…..

WvW is unbalanced by default, cheating and abuse of overpowered build is acceptable.

Elbegast.6970:

I kinda wish they wouldn’t even adhere to a schedule and, instead, just surprise us when a new patch is ready.

^THIS!

Finally a mace user on WvW!

AH in pve is designed for babies who can’t reach the dodgeroll key

quit being a kitten bag.

It’s getting old.

Obviously he’s new and that’s why he’s asking.

so use a dps build with more defensive gear and don’t rely on a trait to keep you alive

There…

Wasn’t that easier than being a kitten? If you’re so good at the PvE, be insightful and share your “epic elite skillz” in a way in which people will respect you.

Be a kitten and no one will make note of anything but that.

AH is junk so I was trying to deter him from using it, i’m not a pro at pve either, but AH is awful and shouldn’t be used

Here we go again.

I cant see the problem with AH besides healing scale.
5 guardians with AH it isnt that bad.

all!

root.9415:

Heal Party!

Healing all party members from halfway across the map ftw. I can see why it hasn’t made it to GW2 though hehe

Healing tome 5 skill is a full heal kinda works as a heal party.

Pitty that skills are casted on random close player instead of party members….

pve, anything works, just play how u think you should play….

Stack symbols + boon duration you can get more than 1 minute swiftness without any problem any time you want.

cesmode.4257:

My buddies, former guildees and brother are the same. None play mmo anymore but one friend. He just plays wow to raid. Nothing else. Logs in for a raid and then logs out.

Not sure why gw2 never clicked with anyone else.

Same here :/

Reverence.6915:

Wait, your server doesn’t sweep for mesmers?

Huh…

why should we, we have our own in hiding

So you’re saying you just flip structures between servers like a karma train? No defense at all?

Welcome to WvW, flip castle and towers all the time and every one wins.
And yes WvW is just a huge karma train.

So, Guardian needs to be reworked?
In the other classes i play i find that what Guardian does other classes do it better, about CC other classes are so efective they almost dont need it.

Justice.3608:

So far in the early leveling stages…

Guardian feels incredibly underwhelming with such a low hp pool, and every weapon besides the scepter being terrible.

I think my Mesmer was a lot easier to level.

Or most only use hammer/gs in WvW, while every weapon should have their presence.

CptAurellian.9537:

Dynnen.6405:

Another thing thats not in the game…spirit weapons.

Nah, it’s in the game, but banned from the forums due to being too bad to tolerate them here.

That picture is an insult for guardians :<
Spirit weapon yeah right….

Put spirit weapons with same stats as the caster

Barsimoprimo.2759:

1. Make the game actually open world.
2. Make it more sandbox( Meaning housing, farming, Naval Combat, etc…)
3. Make more skills for each weapon
4. Zhaitan fight needs a complete overhaul.
5. Not create a cliche story with poor writing that forces you to like horribly written characters( looking at you Logan)
6. Create ingame npc factions that players can join that are inconflict with each other( not based on race) All this come together story is boring and childish.
7.Create lots more skins and a armor and weapon skin wallet.

^this

Guardior. The one class dev’s play.

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT

The funny part is most play medium and light classes.

I would not mind a buff on AH , drolls .

Vhenom.5621:

(…) and seems to me that gw2 is going to same direction… please tell me i am wrong and blind, and show me the way…

Anet is trying to avoid that thats why they are giving new skills once in a while to classes.

The designated tank in gw2 is called bunker and atm there are classes that can bunker beter than guardian since they can have a much beter DPS.

Arikyali.5804:

(…)
If I was attacking a keep, would shield 5 be more helpful than the focus?

You can KB players w/o stability avoiding them to enter the gate, also it is a good tool to interrupt finish on allies.

I mace everything i see, altough i always pair with other 2 oe 3 guardians.

*Mace AH support is good when pairing with other guardians even with healing power 480-640

P.S noted after post this was about pve :| , my response was about WvW. in pve i use sword.

Tag with a Guardian with wall of reflection since KS animation is easy to spot, guardian can get that damage refected to source.

2^cents.

I am euro player playing in USA server and its rare to notice lag, FPS drop due WvW blob is another thing ^^.

More gear that i will not have! I cant even reach weaponsmith 430…

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Stealth

Stealth is a common tool, i use to say thief problem is not stealth…

GW2 mechanics are.

Hermes.7014:

Just like with weapons, none.
I don’t like crafting, in any MMO.

And in gw2 you kinda need to craft stuff u dont use or need, so its pointless.

BlazeQ.1095:

I haven’t heard a word of bickering on NSP in a while Especially during the league play. Strange how we can get slaughtered in the PPT game but have such a blast in the open field game.

I tough this silver league would cause problems, but we dont have any kind of guild drama, and the ppt slaughter made players actually working together even from diferent guilds.

/cheers NSP

I magine guardian updates will maintain class in same spot, other classes can get to a sturdy lvl (better than guardian in some cases) better suppor and better damage.

Luthan.5236:

Other than some non-movable environmental object where you can use weapons to shoot nothing can happen. I don’t think the engine can handle larger movable objects. In our personal storyline we already have seen it… all bigger tanks and ships are not moving. They stay somewhere and you man the cannons.

That’s were this game looses, and they will pay for that…

Rather have 1 or 2 teams working in this evolution of mechanics than creating a Living Story with useless titles that killed the game.

Funny how players think ranger is weak

sometime i use it on the wall to kd the target, must find a way to place it on vertical :P

Tarsius.3170:

I blame copy and paste

It may sound rude, but that is what gw2 is all about copy pasta, aka redundancy!

This makes me so mad. When they release ascended armor, why bother, if it will end up being obsolete in a future release?

To keep people grinding.

They said Ascended would be max tear, but since gw2 is full of bad decisions, something like this would not surprise me at all, they cant evolve teh game so they a add dumb stuff.

And a level cap raise would stop it being max tier how? It’d still be max tier, there’d just be level 90 variants available.

True… very true, tks for point that out :]
Guess i misunderstanded…, but actually the actuall gear could be used from 80 to 90, there isnt the requirement of add gear with more stats besides.

More bad decisions incomming instead of make more cultural armors…

CptAurellian.9537:

Grimwolf.7163:

Wouldn’t have mattered either way, the GW2 team just straight up cannot write, period.

!

Same opinion…

It is how scarlet is more of the same, alliance with potatoes and onions, after that why not make an alliance of mushrooms and snakes, and this kind of centent is all LS is about.

I could say that the role of Scarlet is just to take some time from Tyrians while something big hide behind her,but again GW2 desing is far from being anythign worth it.

p.S It is not the character, its how Anet is using scarlet and those pseudo alliances and sorry the bad english.

Ravenmoon.5318:

Nobody is forcing you to do anything though. It is all you, don’t blame the game for your own faults. Nobody is asking you to rush through maps, you can take your time and explore. The game is not going away anytime soon

More 3 or 4 years, this game model has several mistakes as everything gets way to temporary, the success of gw2 its just becouse doesnt have any competor.

Completely agree with you.
