Why kill her?

When Anet finally decide to finish all this nonsense, put her in a cage and allow players throw rotten eggs at her.

I smell a mini-game idea.

Seriously, that is a joke right ?

Btw no tool to post titles or mini games scores on facebook also, if you now what i meant!

Elusive.9481:

(…)

Things flip too easily and frequently. This is good right now since the achievements are based on this principle. But honestly, it shouldn’t be like this. Structures should be sturdier, and something should counter the zerg.
(…)

Becouse game is all about achievements and Anet is trying to make the game a litle easier on how the player get titles and achievments, “forcing” them or atracting them to their ideal of gw2 game model.
I guess the only thing this game lacks atm is the post titles on facebook to show off even more, would be amazing your friends know ur making titles like those facebook games? ….

Aza.2105:

I agree, guardian has a overabundance of light fields.

They should had more field combos to teh game, and some restricted to classes.

A decent thief would eat those stats in seconds i imagine u gave like 3 blinds on your build, but that is the feeling that i have about classes in gw2, some classes got builds that almost instakill targets while other to mantain competitive sacrifice alot.

The problem of building for instakill in ALL games (no just this) is you kill a lot but you die a lot. A team cant rely on you, because you are like “toss a coin in the air”. Someone can just oneshoot you. You need control in a fight, is not about who instakill who first.

Good point and i can understand that, but there are some builds where the risk rewards migh be more like 2 face coin.

They should be working in more game mechanics and fixing the existent ones.
In my opinion, GW2 evolution is slow or they are not doing the right thing, the game lacks of almost everything that other mmo’s offers yet they did nothing new to compensate the lack of mechanics or content, saying this Living Story is far from being any kind of compensation to the game model and its still premature feels rushed content, and the lack of those elements make the game claustrofobic, being in PVE or WVW.

PeterThomas.7243:

Seriously? Instead of addressing the obvious problems with Tequatl and the new uber-difficult (i.e., frustrating) content, we get a thinly veiled in-game mail from an NPC that implies that we need to build larger guilds?
(…).

Lol quited mine 2 months ago, guildless and doing anything i want, so guilds are kinda useless.

Servers can get organized in TS theres no need to be in a guild.
Content does not need a guild.

Guild is only for useless content of titles.

Very low HP and regen health over time is almost useless becouse combat usually last more than 3 seconds, while playing thief i can crit over 12k with just one skill on most bulky guardians, while on warrior zerk full adrenaline with killshot + buffs sometimes happens to crit over 17k and results on instadown of most guardians, and im not dumb to shoot against WoR my main is a guardian :P so its easy to counter.

Also healing power builds sacrifice way to much and damage value will always be more effective than any defense.

I use it with soldier runes and contemplation of purity, if i get many conditions( several 25 stacks of each condition as sometime happens in WvW is instant death lol), well pop up food with -40% condis and consecration with -20% condi.

No krait will be as cool as this one!

Viking Jorun.5413:

Trinity = Forced routine

No Trinity = Skill-Based

Fixed.

Yet this game is far from being skill based…

1. Content redundancy.
2. WvW design in general, map, castles, towers, siege.
3. Damage VS Defense (Balance) – class/skill design.
4. On PVE cant atack mobs from lower or high ground, this system leads to some problems in WvW also(the invunerability spots).
5. Teq changes, the design of the event looks it was designed by a child, also there should be more dragons even lesser ones apearing once in a while in all tyria, once again poor content related to gw2 history and books.

xFireize.6318:

A 1v1 fight between 2 guardians should never end. If one dies, he/she is a bad guardian. And no, a bunker guardian shouldn’t be killed by a DPS guardian. Maybe OP should find a different class to fight against and post this thread to his/her current match-up thread instead.

Very very very true!
This is how guardian combats ends..

foofad.5162:

If you’re getting killed by 20k Killshots, you either don’t have Wall of Reflection or you don’t know how to use it. :/

WoR is easy to avoid, at least for me if i go 2xpistol spam on thief, i cant imagine who dies to a WoR…. unless deployed at last momment before killshot wich forces the progectile being reflected back to warrior.

On small scale player/team needs to be dammn bad to start shooting to WoR, its a large group situational skill most of the time.

aspirine.6852:

Craft wars yay.

or Gem to gold wars!

Humm let me try to explain my point of view in this game:

For my exp in wvw as guardian and thief, guardians are always my free badge, low health pseudo defenses*(as in to many counters or to easy to counter, even wall of reflection is easy)*, while if i want to kill other classes the effort lvl raises alot, same goes with thief, kill guardians with no effort i just need to stress guardian a bit and he will loose with no problem, while other classes are much harder to batle.

Most of the time i crited on guardians(with thief) over 3-4k per skill while they have boons(since damage always > defense in this game) theres no point playing a defenssive class becouse defense is easy shatered by damage.

As exemple i played a bulky guardian(to test how defense is valuated in this game) 25k-26k health + boons and gain rolls on weapon swap, arround 700healing power and 30/30crits and 3.4k armor, and some classes can hit over 15k in one skill, killshot hits closer to 20k and combat tab does not show the critical damage.

So, target of guardians are the bad players. >:]

fodem.2713:

Nice answer lol , thief maybe ?

+1 thief

Dont we all have thiefs?

Keiel.7489:

Do you play in the bronze league? how do you know they don’t play in underdog servers?

I’m sure more Dev’s play in all servers, but they are in normal guilds and don’t rep anet all the time. When I was on NSP we had a anet employee in our guild at one point.

Indeed theres an WvW guild that is owned by a anet dev(guild mixed with players and anet employees) and i quite see sometimes them on WvW.

They know what is happening in WvW for sure, as they see it in gameplay and they can check the data also, if u feel theres some problem, the problem was at choosing the game design now the resources to fix/modify can be harder to get.

Frosty and Frosty Law Firm.4981:

You(The players) asked for harder content.

You(The players) will now deal with what you get.

indeed and i am happy again finnally some content that can be somewhat a challenge ,yesterday the spawn was so awesome that guardians had alot of work on CC (MC, mob control) and providing loads of stability, group formed randomlly was about 8-16.

i would had some harder patrols to the tower that would try to cath party by surprise :]
gona try before WvW reset again just hope to find the tower as was yesterday.

But yes for those who like to solo (iknow its a mmo and doesnt make sense) there should be aoption for it, the tower can be used as we had the challange missions in Nightfall.

MastaNeenja.1537:

There’s no feeling, it is chasing carrots. This video explains it quite well, it’s about 7 min long.

Good link mighty.

Perikittenor.1892:

No we are not. But our shield is totaly bullshait as it is right now, either add stuff or lower cd.

As a mace guardian i would totally apreciate it!

Ayrilana.1396:

StinVec.3621:

Beware of Griefers Abusing the Instance Lock

• It’s ridiculous. Players are even intentionally being first in and first out so other people cannot inject anti-toxin which raises the global anti-toxin levels. ArenaNet stated that the tower will be around until the anti-toxin bar is filled and it is only increased by players injecting anti-toxin. Farmers want this to stick around for a long time so they are actively preventing anti-toxin from getting injected to prolong the farming as long as they can.

I’d find it hilarious if anti-toxin injections really don’t contribute to the progress bar and it has a set rate that it automatically progresses.

Imo that is my opinion also, same thing with the kiel votes.

This game looks like a fork from the previous one(due certain evolution restrictions i’ve noticed ), so im not imaging the game with that capacity!

Troll or not, masses need do speak!

IMO it doesnt make sense, can you guys imagine fighing some MOB spawn on RA , AB or HH….?

It’s like having a awfull popup where addblock dont work.

FOTM drop?

Aza.2105:

They should make tomes like engineer kits. But nerf them to accomodate that change.

hummm i would love if guardian tomes worked like that :|.

I shall keep hitting on map design, and WvW mechanics limit players just to blob themselves.

Actually i never played a full LS, couse there was never a challange due to bad design blob fight and bad rewards.

This game is far from being a challenge, they still need to improve allot the LS system, but i kinda liked the tower, if theres an awesome spawn like i got it yesterday with just a group of 10 to 16, funny those who tough they could run into the top the party always cough them dead ^^.

digiowl.9620:

(…)

Never mind that if you have a couple of other players doing the exact same thing off in the distance, you may be pingponging mob respawns between each other.

When i entered here on NSP the spawn is really amazing compared with those on the live, just got suprised becouse it looks like they are on very easy mode :/, i tryed to solo but the number of mobs were overwhelming when i entered, wich was one of the thing i liked on this LS, actually felt good providing some mob control.

Khisanth.2948:

DoctorOverlord.8620:

I think the Queen’s Pavillion and The Labyrinth were abandoned because new content had come out drawing people away, otherwise they seemed quite popular IMO. Both of those took place on terrains that allowed free movement of players and ease of keeping together rather than terrain designed to insta-kill and separate players. I do wonder if the Tower will remain popular and for how long.

Did you forget about all the CC from the mummy and skeleton armors and sugar crash from the candy elementals? Push, pull, push, chilled and if there isn’t enough people in there to deal with Labyrinth Horror … yeah great fun.

Oh and you might want to check out http://youtu.be/Eh97jGEGA7g . It was designed to split people up.

Why that tower on the live looks like have no mobs at all? :|

Cina Reas.6938:

Just guesting on a high pop server ( to finish ), even here its dieing.

The tower is essentially a no go zone for many hours in the day. This is bad design.

It is a good/fun place to go within a 5 man party and find other players and join them also, altough it feels it could be more difficult and better end reward at least raise the challange and reward.

I didnt started the instances yet, only went to the top chest, i might do them today, and i relly like the tower ^^ as i liked Brahm dungeon with those 2 bosses at the end.

The sad part is the overflow system, finnaly had a spot in the server i choosed and reached top, while on overflows almost no one fighthing the mobs just rushing and dying w/o atack, i think there should be more spore traps or doors that were required team work and a cutting a little the zergy effect, the Tower can envolve right?

But overhall, finnaly i can say i liked this LS !!

ShiningSquirrel.3751:

Hated factions. Worst part of GW1. All it did was create guilds that required minimum amounts of factions be donated each day by members. Hope to never see anything like that again in GW2.

Kurzick and Luxon got defeated by the imperial army.
If something like Cantha expansion get realeased in the future you probably gona get a civil war, becouse other non human species got also banned from Cantha.
The commeback of the tengu do cantha? :P at least somedy Anet might use it for LS and starting add parts of cantha to the map same with Eona

My guardian looks like a fusion of a ballerina with a garden sprinkler….

Can the animation be changed? lol

Funny as a european playing on usa servers i dont notice lag on this LS.

I tried, but the players on the overflow i was dont even atacked mobs -__-, they looked like mindless zerglets just healing and rushing (offcourse they died all the time).

Players dont care about assisting or rez also, pitty i cant be within the server i choosed to play, other reason to hate overflow system.

Shiren.9532:

(…)
Freezing the world in time simply doesn’t make sense.

They just need to fix how LS is being introduced to players, also as i am tired of saying, overflow sytem disconects players from the happenings on their server.

Since LS is being worked to create more blob of randoms(due how game is designed) will be always a model broken by source and decisions.

Zerole.7306:

You can be in overflows for the tower. I get what you are saying, it will be interesting how they handled that.

what happens to the tower on a server when players from that server inject the anti toxin in an overflow zone?

On a buffer overflow, i imagine only the tower of the overflow ends, and if you save on the overflow player on the server might decided to end it.

Dont get me wrong im at work, so still speculating on the process how Anet is envolving something that does not fit in the game engine, talking about chooses, events decided by players, it does not make sense with overflow system…

Karizee.8076:

According to the patch notes:

The Tower of Nightmares content will be available until the tower’s heart is destroyed. Watch the progress as more antitoxin is injected!

So the Tower will survive as long as players on each server allow it. This means that the Tower could be destroyed on some servers but still up on others. Truly dynamic content, this

Wich intrigues me, becouse if it works like that way means theres no overflows for the tower?

No overflows is a very good thing for LS, if it is true Anet is really learning.

I could start doing if i felt any imersivity within the story, hwo it is being deployed its just a been there zerged without know what i am doing and never do it again.

When…fighthing ranged classes:

“-Better activate SoA.. humm skill already reloading?.. – Ah it died. ?-_- "

WvW would be a perfect warzone with airships, naval, movable siege, (better mechanics overhall and conquering a continent even if was only warzone for each server making a new guild wars event, instead of tyria theres now a new continent(can we have that expansion? lol).

Whith this graphics that would be innovative, but they turned into a figh of blob 1st skill spam that is based on population and coverage and based on Factions AB.

Rip boons (stability), and spike build a catapult for KD and interrupt aoe near the lord.

aaron.7850:

Agreed. But it will take a severe overhaul to fix wvwvw

Wich will never happen, as example if 2 or 3 servers combine they can farm alot of money and WXP, just keep flipping stuff one after another even if is SM castle, trade by another one and keep looping the keeps and towers with the zerg, avoid all contact with the other groups.

It is like WxP and a few copper ranning into your wallet.

Coolmoos.8546:

King Amadaeus.8619:

Does NSP care about PPT?

I am thinking of moving to a server where people enjoy fighting more than kittening and moaning about PPT.

Also what about queues….I hate them, are they bad on NSP?

We RARELY have queues… lol

~

Even if theres a queue its like is already gone, and that usually happens on 1 map at the server reset. :/

Aeolus.3615:

As a WvW player only, im so poor i cant even level from 400 to 500.

Wait….What? I spend at minimum 50% of my time in WvW, and 100% on many weeks. I tend to do so in around 4 hour sessions. I always make at least 1 gold, generally around 2g 50s, and often more. What are you doing that your spending all of your money on?

Buy siege, upgrade stuff, repair from kitten trying to figh unbalanced builds and bad situations, nourishments sometimes can get expensive, all money i do i spend it on WvW.

Actually im trying to save money and collect materials, waiting for mat price to drop, after that will be the same story for armorsmith.

McFly.2134:

Aeolus.3615:

As a WvW player only, im so poor i cant even level from 400 to 500.

How did you get to 400 then?

Well it took me one year to reach 400….being saving a few coppers and materials from start, so i decided that was time to lvl one of the craftmanship jobs.

As a WvW player only, im so poor i cant even level from 400 to 500.

brandon.6735:

I feel like our weapons need a lot more looked at then traits/skill.
(…)
Shield 5. I don’t know yet lol but something different. I Just don’t see any guardians anymore using shield.

Freaking useless even on ranged spikes, also KB is useless since every runs stability.

tom.7468:

Gw2 AKA World of charrcraft take everything you loved about gw1 and throw it out of the window.

Very very true!

Good game VS bad game

Actually i play pve on gw1 and use gw2 just for WvW, even that game is bad lol, 10yo games had better siege fights with much more tactics.

Waiting for gw3.

Conncept.7638:

RyuDragnier.9476:

I’d prefer if they made it so you could buy ascended weapons from a laurel vender using a rather large requirement first. 50 laurels, 100 ectos, 10 gold and 250K karma would work.

I’d just like any method besides crafting, crafting is a grind watching a bar surge up, I don’t enjoy it, most player I know don’t enjoy it, the game is supposed to be enjoyable. I am not going to do it, they need to provide another way.

well i dont like it to, but crafting makes more sense that having that gear spreaded by other types of grind, lets see:
-Backpack needs alot of fractals
-Trinkets are obtained by laurel and fractal drops after serveral levels.
-Weapon expensive leveling from 400-500 not all have gold for that, and theres no other way to get one.
-Armor probably will see the same as weapons.

Now lets see, as a WvW player i have lvl 5 on fractals no weaponsmith nor armorsmith, becouse there never was content that oblicated me to craft anything i wanted.

Well blobing isnt that bad, i played several mmo’s with siege and castle conquest(since 2002/3), all they started and ended in blobs, or large groups, problem here is the design (and the lack of design and deph) that led those blobs to be tranformed into mindless zergsdestroying a reinforced door or wall in 10seconds after that u just need to auto atack to the center of the shrine.

A way to end or reduce the zergs effect is to create a true castles with paths and structures to defend and atack, hide thiefs etc, the structure of the lord room would differ from castle to castle with several high and lower zone to deploy the possibility of siege, but in this mechanics it would say “invuneralble target”.

The only solution i can imagine here(to make a decent WvW) is like ragnarok online had 10year ago War of Emperium, chest room rewards if guild hold castle for X time (in RO was like 7days but WOE was just 4h per week divided in 2 hours match), guilds could envolve their castle in that time, there were several large instanced zones of the castle the blob rarelly could reach the lord/emperium room, there was needed thinking wich path is more and less defended, how to counter groups of elementalist wich class would groups send first ect, possible traps, also there was 2 classes with massive teleporting like we have mesmer but wihtout limit even that, game was balanced and there was no true tank when facing player vs player (talking about the original ERo and KRo)

WvW in gw2 is just like AB define the best path u think and than zerg, there are several pesudo tactics like massive invisibilite and than flank the other zergs but that is almost all tactics it has to offer.

Dont get me wrong i dont like to talk about other games in anothers forum.
P.S raising the AOE limit +1 would increase the lag in game.
