Guild Wars 2

Indoles.1467:

Solo roaming as guardian is near impossible. The only two builds I know of that work to some extend are A ) Full glass instant-kill builds or B ) Full heal spec builds where you can only kill them if they let you.

As for zerging, I feel that guardians bring a little more in terms of group utility while also being about to fill a similar dps role, but warrior is becoming a valid option for sure.

Verdict: I have to say warrior. From the way ANET has been pushing that profession, it seems they will be top tier in everything in a matter of months.

For what im used to fight guardian is almost useless due the number of necros, nulifying your consecrations\boons all u can see red circles, and every one know how good a guardian is without boons.
Warrior by the other hand has large health pool can be a really true tank compared to guardian better regen plus more damage.

Side note: no matter how much healthand armor your guardian has there are skils
that critical up over 15k if u have boons.

DeadlySynz.3471:

I’d hardly say being on a server that flips everything whenever everyone else is asleep skillful.

Welcome to WvW gameplay, where every server does that
WvW is nothing more than a 24/7 Ab map capture n run…

Tribio.8531:

Ranger > rest

But I might be a little prejudiced here..

Got to admit ranger are amazing even for solo altough is so rare to find good rangers.

Edit: Ranger should be master of range, if not in mistake cant warrior with the bow trait get same range as ranger?

zergs hide in tower/castle while the war is only with
Castle VS tower treb spam
Tower VS Castle treb spam
Both defended with loads of AC’s.

As far this rank skills are good to define better roles, due map characteristics i dont see them as improvements, maybe with another game design.

i would gladly buy a gw2 expansion to real siege and WvW game model… not this AB with walls thing.

Plz rework WvW.

as a bunker, this is how 2 bunker guardian fight over 30 minutes.

Swarms or necros thiefs mesmers, range classes and massive condition spam.

For experience of what i fight against:

1. Thief (rare to find thiefs soloing always come in parties)
2. Necro (never less than 2 or 3 together)
3. Mesmer(always with thiefs or necros nearby)
4. Warrior (sometimes zerkers for killshot target call)
note: making one to test myself with the trait for 6% more damage on boon users.
5. Guardian
6. Ele
7. Ranger
8. Engi

Im not familiar with gamming code, but i believe colision detection is client side, not so sure but i think theres an option on client to activate it, example to roll over target or not(ghost effect), i believe this would be fun even in swarm colision ^^ as people dont behave like ghosts and get to the other side, players would be needed to kite everyone and everything ^^.

Yeah even on siege would be fun to have colosion, problem is that player would use rams/siege as second doors, if isnt balance i dont know since theres a siege limit it should be valid IMO.

By other hand if its client side validation, i have 140% sure that would get defaced by 3rd party programs

Using HoM mace with the new guild shield (Krytan with guild tag on it), wait theres a guild mace or are u talking about Guild Pummeler?

Edit: i might get the AC mace instead

Every man(player) can dream right?

-Much Larger Maps
- Several resources instead of supplies (mines, swammils, Mist Crystals.
- Alliances\guild had to build their castles XD (from X models deppending on alliance\guild points).
- Castles \ towers would have inner components. even could be some instanced zones like portals for JP to castle inner rooms.
- Movable siege
- No more tower siege to castle siege.
- Commander tag colors and symbols selection menu for better cordenation.
- Guild Symbol on tag as we had on Beta.
- For fast travel with siege Doylak farm to carry siege.
-Siege as upgrades on buildings.
- More siege vehicles/
- Might lock servers.
- More terrains(Desert; florest etc)
- Maybe a sky ship to try air invasions.
- Guild banners could be carried by officers with special field roles.

Yeah a totally different game.

Admit that some of the content is based on other mmo’s and strategy games.

Sometimes the best game/content is to put together the best of each game genra, and inovate that way showing how marvelous those elements can work together.

Just asking wich WvW tier u play?

Players saying condition is a meta atm becouse on WvW all you see is necros swarms and builds based on conditions damage.

Pvt hammer train is past, in my opinion offcourse.

Edi: im not telling that theres a condition meta, players just sawping to more productive builds/classes.

u guys notice this is only theory right? do not work on the field.

There are classes that make 3%-6% more damage per boon.
And conditions damage makes much more damage than regens can cover plus minor healings.

If its is for Pve only, anything on healing power makes guardian very sturdy.

how about this theory on a regen banner warrior?

citizankane.5723:

Pve culling changes same time as huge zerg event. Maybe they are using this to test changes.

Thats what i tough also, couse when i checked when LS event was , i could load every one and everything just with some minor FPS drop(with all maxed settings).

More non flashy neon maces and shields skins would be nice.

As mace guardian we dont have much to choose.

Solid Gold.9310:

Jaga.2084:

Wanted to play the living story. Came into non-event overflow. Logged out and played something else.

Yeah and me, takes ages for the next event to get up and running, it’s just turned into a waiting game.

Anet just needed to make this with real player swarms, as far i dont like it either(almost killed the game for me), since this game is “built on top of” distric overflows system like GW(1) this kind of events need to be reworked in future.

Zacchary.6183:

This picture is relevant to this topic.

Yeah but is epic!

WvW, that pic is what i imagine when players atack Durios Tower.

Trahearne is that you????

skullmount.1758:

Maybe if they weren’t stuck in the RNG cash boxes…

That is all gw2 pve is about, and the reason to raid those events, i guess most players are loving it.

Note:LS plot asside, wich can be good sometimes.

Lafiel.9372:

Everyone should know by now anet is no good at presenting a story.

That’s the problem, the first game lore was just AWESOME that deserved a movie(Trilogy),Flameseeker Prophecies, War on Kryta , the Shining Blade, White Mantle, even the events/daylies after Eye of the North looked better at being LS than the way that LS works(mechanically) on gw2.

I See No Tomorrow.7302:

Were there zero Orrians outside of Orr when the Cataclysm happened?

I find it hard to believe that every single Orrian was in Orr at the time of the Cataclysm.

Why have we heard of no humans of Orrian descent?

At the time of the cataclym yes:

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/The_Cataclysm (for a good lore story)

christiniae.7834:

This is a terrible idea. I won’t be able to play the content if it’s a dungeon or instance, I need the help from other players.

all instances even on story mode accept the 5 party man, game is built on top of that.

Amyami.7153:

More painterly cinematics please!

And Queen Jenna needs to dump that chump Logan and get with Man of Action: Lord Faren!

Lord Faren will become Batman!

We cant blame Anet for this, since all NCsoft products work on this way, at least the ones i played, with daylies and mindless(as basic) gameplay, i said in the past with this district/overflow system is impossible to make LS work properly unless LS is character restricted instance like story line is.

LonelyReaper.8075 , u describe also the game gw2 i tough would be even with time would transform into that.

They cant do much better with this game model (wich imo was forced by NCsoft), it haz nerfed Anet Pro Skillz.

PVE working as intended, since player were complayning about zergs on WvW, zergs(mindless groups) were moved to PVE.

iv’e seen commander and player using caps lock but for attention calls or some kind or alert.

this on WvW, pve commanders is just a tag/beacon to follow on arah purification process

hummm alchool…

On Beta game, wasnt there a mesmer condition that changed the direction keys of you movement?

Confusion should stay that way!!!!!

ColinJohanson.2394:

There will indeed! Many of the details can be found high level here:

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/looking-ahead-guild-wars-2-in-2013/

Being for ~30 minutes on a overflow distric that says “This world is not under Scarlet atack please travel to your home world.”

Just dont do this kind of events on your system please, it looks real bad.

Kirschwasser.3972:

Katran.9186:

Shoe.5821:

that the aetherblades presented a serious challenge (wiped once)

(you ninny)

Serious challenge? Let me guess, you didn’t even manage to kill Liadri and do 5 gambits achievment? And artificial “difficulties” don’t make this zergfest something else.

You disagree?! Let me construct an artificial environment within which I can immediately dismiss any contrary opinions!

Health pools and damage arent artificial “difficulties”, mobs dont try to evade your atacks dont cleanse each other conditions dont do blast finishers.. plz dont make this game what is not, there arent artificial difficulties.

THE DOCTOR.3510:

Silvercyclone.1462:

I can’t believe nobody has actually figured it out yet. The only possibility is the most obvious one. SG-1 will pop into Divinitiy’s Reach through the asura gate. General O’Neill will mock everyone after Colonel Mitchell accidently shoots Jennah thinking shes a Goa’uld due to her mesmer magic, Jackson will be looking for artifacts trying to figure out what god is there, Colonel Carter will try to learn the asuran technology, Vala will hit on Logan and Anise to try to get at the royal treasure, and Teal’c wil do his eyebrow raising thing and say “indeed” a lot. Then all of them will go hunting for the 6 gods to free us from them.

You’re close, but I’m pretty sure that Jennah is Tokk’ra, so when they kill her, it starts a war between the Tokk’ra, Earth, and Tyria. Then they’re going to announce a new show called “Stargate Tyria”

Queen Jenna will be the next assistant to the doctor ;O

u guys know who..

KeybladeMaster.3148:

Her big reveal is that Logan is pregnant

That was a big lol, now very 1 at work thinks i am crazy!

vic.7065:

Aeolus.3615:

Is there any information if is an instanced zone or non intanced zone event like the player arrive the Crown Pavilion?

I’m pretty sure the speech will be instanced just like the previous content.

Meh… cinematic with npc’s talking, and if scarlets appear will be another protect the Queen as we had on story against the corrupted soldier, playing an mmo w/o being an mmo…

i hope i am 140% wrong

Isnt Gwen and Thackery burried in Ebonhawk…?

I think i saw her camp the other day.

Saving all the points for the Omegas barrage!

WTS Queen Jenna Ashes 2k

Is there any information if is an instanced zone or non intanced zone event like the player arrive the Crown Pavilion?

They forgot to model shoes for that NPC, like the naked sleeping female npc

isnt there a sigil to transfer condition on critical?

Wonder with how many arrow carts they will atack?.. if they want to succed.

Jscull.2514:

DevonCarver.5370:

Johje Holan.4607:

I was actually depressed by that response. He said when/if. That means they defintely haven’t started on new maps. And they may never.

Don’t read too much into that type of wording. I’m just hedging because there are a lot of things we don’t talk about until they are close to release. We want to work on new maps and those maps are going to be awesome.

Good thing you waited for 95-100% of the skill-based pvpers to leave the game.

Thanks for the past year, but as far as the future you can count on our 5 man NEVER supporting another Anet / NCsoft product.

I dont know if i like to hear new maps can be produced, problem here is the siege warfare concept, gameplay and mechanics are basic and stale not allowing the game for further development behind that point.

How WvW is designed to work is the flaw here, players swarm/zerg by design (it is not the player fault), map size and structure helps doing that, there are several aspects of game mechanics that should be reviewed before producing new WvW maps.

Just a funny note, why siege have wheels if cant be movable?

taek.9386:

This game had potential but now its become so grindy it’s like ‘work’ away from work and turning into all those other MMOs. Laurel grind, daily grind, achievement point grind, wexp grind, whats next??

I give GW2 one month to prove they are better than that, otherwise cya later and hello to GTA5

The game is grindy because it offers grind as something optional?

It’s not optional, it’s mandatory if you don’t want to fall behind the rest of the pack. For example, say you stop playing now, what will happen when they introduce ascended armor or level 500 crafting, which requires like some absurb amount of laurels for a single piece? Well your pretty much stuffed and imagine if you have alts…

I only do WvW or most of the time i spended there, i dont do fractals only did it about 5 or 6 times to help guild party with a 5th member, i didnt like and dont like the daylies system, by other hand i had to start doing the daylies in WVW
sometimes they come w/o i notice even monthly happens that way and w/o that i would not have any ascended at all, atm still working to ascended gear, on 4 pieces so far.
Have to work only in one character, but im ok with that.

Kiijj.3594:

Pure of Voice with a full set of Soldier runes removes 3 conditions per shout. Bugged or not, I’m definitely not complaining.

i call it balance since theres classes with crapload of condition aplyers :P

Next step!

Asuran Space Agency, puddle jumpers and portals in space, fight the space dragon and space pirates.

I had to wiki the pale tree but i am now on another theory lol

Faolain – Also known as the Grand Duchess, she is the current leader of the Nightmare Court, and is attempting to lure her ex-lover, Caithe, to the Nightmare Court.

Aisina.4963:

Also, she’s Sylvari. We witness their childlike humor and behaviour across the game, as they are a very young race. I think this plays a lot into how she behaves.

Arent all Sylvari’s conected via Tree Network stuff with the Pale Tree? I meant cant the oldest Sylvari might know who she is since it as access to all dreams?

So that teleporting cheater NPC is scarlet?

In terms of figths that is why in WvW guardians are always my targets, 90%+ is a free kill w/o effort.

Shockwave.1230:

The game also favors those who play daily in order to maximize time gated rewards. This puts players who don’t get time gated rewards daily even further behind, even if they have more skill.

I believe that is a NCsoft problem, other games from the publisher are being based in daily stuff also.

Viking Jorun.5413:

As someone who’s worked on Indy games in the industry (As a character artist, mind you. It isn’t my job to figure these things out.) I find it extremely difficult to comprehend how to make things actually skill-based. Liadri is an example of fake difficulty(…)

When people talk of “fake difficulty” that sounds like its a complement to lack of certain mechanics or adaptation capacity, and i can start noticing lot of stuff that works arround that here.

Tik tok, chronomancer confirmed….

New class or is that just concept art for an new enemy?

It’s a concept art from GW1 for the chronomancer which would have been part of Guild Wars Utopia.

To good to be true! lol

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Chronomancer#Professions

(Professions

Chronomancers and Summoners were two of the proposed player professions for Utopia.

This forum post contains many images of the profession “Chronomancer”, which is traditionally, in fantasy games, a time mage. Other concept art, some very recent, and some dating back even to before Nightfall depicts men and women with a range of weapons, including maces, dual-wielded spears, javelins, halberds, dual-handed swords and dual-wielded axes.

Steeseries gear, but my mouses are lasting only 4-6months cable always end broken…

Atlas.9704:

I constantly /kneel my characters near old memorials and graves to our past heroes.
As for the ashes, I just loved doing the mission and giving them to lowbies who constantly died attempting it back in the day.

Indeed! that is so 2004

Now i noticed it is almost 10year!
