Guild Wars 2

i imagine all Guardian playing with GS+meditations now…

Becouse, blue bubbles!

high healling power is a big mistake, and in pve anything works, thats why game dont need anything else than dps with minor side roles.

Arround 3k to 3.2k armor, more than that it is useless, invest in critical and critical damage.

Damage > everything else.

Tower Lord went on summer vecations… +40ºC can you imagine the heat under the WvW shrines, i ment towers?

with 10k health you can be eveything except tanky when people with your toughness and armor value can hit you above 5k per hit.

if the build is for PVE only… anything works! you dont even need traits…

Great Collapse .. i dont even know what it that!

Pretty cool finding when bugs happen to dev team in game ^^, as players also they can imagine how and why our reports can be “vague” couse we have no info if tower validations have some breach allowing being teleported to clone position.

GvG on WvW.. yeah its something yet nothing…

Wukunlin.8461:

lol more guardian buffs. Not that I’m complaining

Guardians really deserve this buffs, the number of counter guardian skills existent in this game are alot wich one of them can put the guardian insta downed if you run under ~17k health in one hit…

P.S i still want a buff on shield of the avenger :P

Dra Keln.2015:

(…)I like that the upcoming election will give players a real chance to affect the world, even if our candidate doesn’t win. (…)

I would like an awnser from Anet dev or some external info about the elected NPC. If players in my server vote for Kiel, Evon can win becouse other *Worlds*also vonting in a global way, in my opinion there is already an elected NPC coded to win due storyline, i just hope im wrong.

There is no living story its just straight forward content with one ending.
When Anet reaches the level of living story endings are acording due server actions, that is a living world.

There was a similiar topic were a Anet dev answered that if AOE target were raised, game would lag more, imo i think is more due game mechanics not prepared for +X targets, if increased game might had problems.

I missed the events after the karka, dont know where to start, just know theres some crystals to take on new map more than that dont know what to do.

For the Bubbles dude! Blue bubbles!

Zahld.4956:

Yeah get a linux port out so that i can play it on my android tablet.

full opengl port hummmmm tasty opengl.

Brutaly.6257:

one of the few builds that make bad players look good.

Hopefully the nerf retaliation to oblivion so we can say good bye to the only really cheesy build we have.

who on earth kills himself on this 240-280 retaliation damage? only another bad player…

Living Story is meant to bring a little bit of realism to Tyria.

Hey, you know what else would bring a little bit of realism? Perma-death. If your character dies, it’s gone. Say goodbye to all your stuff. Roll up a new character. Start over.

How’s that sound? Real enough for ya?

thats kinda like hardcore mode in the Diablo series. u think they should have that as an option for gw? i mean for all u know, the realist entusiast might actually love having this mode, Anet could even tag achievements to it…

a beacon on map is realism to game.. ok that is the gw2 players experience … and im a sad panda to know what kind of community anets wants.

Was about to talk about utopia classes also maybe living story in future will have more impact on game.

Why is this a thief thread now?

Every thread about being solo in WvW eventually becomes a thief QQ thread : /

First of all sorry for the lvl of engrish (bad english spoken).

Very true becouse players think armor can reduce damage more than it does, here goes an example:

As a guardian i run 2 builds 1 for group and other for small group or solo, in the group im dammnly bulky but not doing damage only 2.8k atack with 22k health and 3.7k-3.8k armor with boon and some extra buffs, in this case if try solo a thief he will shred me in seconds couse DAMAGE is the most important stats (in terms of importance damage > toughness) in this game and he still can crit over 5k-6k on my stats (warrior can hit over 15k with boon hating dps role) whili i do 700 to 1k damag, thats why there is ONLY the DPS role mixtured with other roles, as far i try to hit the thief he will cloack and hit me back always with higther damage, my healing power cant cover nor reduce thiefs fast atacks damage, and my health bar ceases to end.

With the critical guardian build i can crit over 5k-8k on light armor users as thiefs can crit over 12k (yeah zerk/valk guardian) but if thiefs notice they are taking alot of damage they are forced to retreat, usually end with thief being CC with 5th 2h sword skill combined with hammer 5th and then kill if possible.

What i want to say is that on this game mechanics no matter how much defense you run mean nothing, and squishy sometimes can be good, if you have a large damage ouput, will obliterate any toughness value.

P.S group warrior boon hater with a thief, use thief to pop out Aegis and mess with guardian and forcing him to use is max number of boons at this momment, warrior can kill with one shoot the guardian.

Ive seen guardians(arround 16k health) in front of me being from 100% health to downstate from rifle boon hating warriors, with the thief apearin just to finish him.

Blame game design not thiefs.. when i room with my thief guardian are always the easiest to kill.

Pixelpumpkin.4608:

(..)
So why Halloween, Wintersday and the SAB remained standalone modules, all other Releases, starting with Lost Shores in November, are actually chapters of the same story.

Yet as far as the stories look good, i have to say i never knew they were linked that way, for me is just like random content that apears a beacon on the map and when i go look for it, looks like there is nothing there after all, on F&F i liked the dungeon yet kinda easy. The start of the living stories are all missing a bit of imersion wich i feel its the problem with storyline and this game, like if its a bit forced on start and ending.

its a pvp jp map ….. as pvp expect everything.

Charr racial elites are cool

+1 I dont like to dual boot since my machine acts as a server for some minor work, but i have just a small partition for windows and gw2, even gw1 i play on linux

I will vote for the bad guy, this peacefull and pink version of Tyria is making my nerves boilling!

Well the stories are cool but they could use “living story” for a living Tyria wich is hard IMO due game critical limitations, this new story looks promising to open further development arround it, pitty that players/guilds actions dont change the world of tyria and living story can be “ignored” as the result will be the same no mater what i hope theres a real voting system for players choose the NPC and not being only a visual concept.

EDIT: just remmembered if there was a player base decision the voted npc/storyline would start to be different from server to server so theres already one winner on living history… more content to ignore, it does not affect me.

note :The future of mmo’s is not themepark

Big or small, I just want moar skins. =)

Roe.3679:

I certainly hope that 8K damage total isn’t 70% of your HP, if so, I definitely know why you’re losing to Thieves.

This part isn’t directed at the OP, but I think Thieves are fine the way they are and that Anet keeps them that way to see how many people will QQ over a class that is fine, but frustrating in the hands of a very good player.

I run over 20k of health, and im ok with thieves even when they appear from nowhere its their role and i run a thief myselfif i can kill or not deppens how duck can the thief be killing with mace or wand and a medium/low atack isnt easy when the stats that matter are the damage ones.

kishter.9578:

LilMcGinley.3890:

Don’t run full glass?

EDIT: 5k backstab?? plz

2.9k toughness, full defense necro. 20 in death Full rabid gear+ trinket

Armor plz… , and that is not much with 3.7k armor, sometimes i still get ~8k backstabs

DevonCarver.5370:

Mad Rasputin.7809:

While I agree with the sentiment that this is WvW and if you don’t want to fight don’t come here, getting their rears handed to them by ‘griefers’ is in no way shape or form going to encourage anyone to stick around and play WvW. Just the opposite I think.

There is definitely some amount of truth to that, but I’d hesitate to say that much of*what is going on in the JP is griefing*, it is more that people unused to WvW are coming into a much deadlier map than they are accustomed to. That is the risk you take.

Imagine that like King of the hill mod or the hunger games, WvW Jp are to be dirty places for some reason.

it is griefing as any other pvp zone goood griefing

Dont get me wrong player players in this game say fun is the reward :]

Esplen.3940:

So glad I can do the dark room with no torch. It lets me grief the griefers and defend myself properly.

Run thief with great output damage and wait for some one to fall down

lets play a game called dark room >:]

yes.. massive spam damage 2k~5k on 3600 toughness with 21k health, thiefs stealths @ first hit suffered recover his bar spam again hide recover spam again, as mainly a mace guardian cant do much.

P.S i did the same when roamming with thief and guardian are my 1st target becouse when he is w/o boons its a dammn kitty easy kill.

sometimes it takes a few extra seconds to kill but that is a way to play a bit more with the meat.

Damage output is the only thing that matters in gw2

I wish I could give you a good re-cap however I honestly don’t remember it…

Must have not been that memorable, I guess. Probably not worth raising a fuss about, if you can’t even remember what it was….

Had better but I had worse. Flame and Frost was one of the more memorable in the series. I remember parts of it in my mind but can’t put it into words. Not enough to give a good recap though.

i wish all champions (even dragons) were like Flame and Frost dungeon bosses

retaliation should be % of damage …..

Floryn.6307:

I was gonna post this before I got hit by metrica jp ban hammer, but here is my PvE/WvW semi-buffed guardian post “balance” patch.

(…)

I wonder your original stats, I mean would you upload your stat ss without buff include a food/oil etc..

Just I wonder how to have a armor scale 3500++ with hp 20000~22000.

ill edit the post with the build since i used to use it on WvW resets

you can have ~24khp 2.7atack (think its atk lol) and ~3200 armor, but its doesnt matter, cause on this game you only need damage, player will still hit you hard, still having 12k+ damage (rare but happens) from some players or more if find a boon hater warrior…

EDIT: this is sorta the build i used (similiar stats) to group frontline to hold all the cc, and the loads of auto atacks, when strength in numbers activates it get close to 3.66k armor, gw2 calc ditn have the sentinel weapons stat that can reduce your armor a little and raise your health about 4k.

PS: gotta love Floryn.6307 stats.

when you unninstall it and return to the forums!

Guardians are pretty happy with their state.

That’s a fact. But, counter intuitively, success is viewed as a problem in this game. I wouldn’t blow the trumpet too loudly if you desire to continue celebrating the success of this profession.

For some is, IMO its not, only good(or excellent) guardian build is based on high precision and crit with meditations, that is a build of kill fast or be killed, while any other role people try to invent for the class can be killed without any effort.

Guardians were my first target on WvW dispite the class im playing.

Fake bulkiness becouse that not exist in this mechanics.

“Temporary content” is a misnomer. There is always some “temporary” content going on, so it’s not really temporary. It just changes all the time.

Sorry i cant understand what this content does to Tyria, offcourse we have the Karkas desert that “changed tyria map” but anything else didnt, i dont do Fractals but if the new dungeons were added to it i would start doing factals just to fight some bosses that are much enjoyable then anything else in game.

Temporary content that does nothing and change or adds nothing, is a waste of talent and resources.

One Beeeeellion doolars?

What couldn’t I do with that?

Guild Wars: Beyond the Mists

An alternate world version of Tyria, without all this silly elder dragon stuff. A nearly total sandbox game set in a very similar Tyria, pre-searing Ascalon lives. A sandbox world were players have housing, furniture and player founded cities, and every item in game could be crafted. All crafting materials would be useful.

A sandbox Gw2 every one could live with that! its the future of mmo’s actually.

let me add some thing otherwise than ponys XD

Political minister system were guilds could represent army and factions on Tyria were players vote on the supose guild/person to the assembly. Guild that wins would have to protect their people from MOBS raids also and dragon raids.
as if they were another army in tyria.

IF was possible had patrols as in sea and air to help fighthing the dragons raid when atacking main cities.

WVW would be a continent were guild fight for resources needed to fix their cities and build castles on WVW.

What migth happen: Tyria history being different from server to server due politics and guild actions, not every one likes to be the good guy! sea Charr pirates MYAHHR?

Almost forgot the Tyrian Guild VS Guild system.

Just wonder if 1b$ would be eneught to develop of fix actual engine to do this (3b$ maybe???)

Temporary content is not healthy to the game IMO as is “lost content”, living story should be a way to improve Tyria world and expand it if necessary (to other continents or islandss) add new storylines messing with character history and findindg new paths, theres LOADS of stuff they could to add more immersive content to pve and WvW.

ah i forgot… themepark engine could not support that immersive content :,(

P.S what if dragons started to rampage radomly in tyria??i believe would be a good suprise for the players in that instance.

1) Game mechanics.
2) WvW was a huge disapointment.
3) Almost 1 year and game didnt improve nor ideas its getting worse.

thief or necro Asuran as small as possible

I dont have fb cant check it…

You don’t need facebook, just go there, it’s pretty much on the top under the main banner/picture.

Nekroseth.5186:

Anyhow…i promote Guild Halls, and GvG, please do implement it alredy!!!

Snow-man finishers in Spvp is more important.

btw i imagine gw2 engine so limited that housing system will be an instanced private zone with limited access, where much older games you could just buy guild houses on the cities…oh well GH gw1 system in the best game of 2012 stills better than nothing….

how many likes they have now?
