Guild Wars 2

Best break from gw2 is to get back to gw1 and feel gw1 is far superior game, and game rocks on wine ^^!

so many people saying new dungeon is hard, you guys are making me gona try pve for shure! Ç_Ç

I would like living story if it would follow the idea, a breathing and living world rather than this kitten.

Why do you find living story worth defending, please tell me? A question I would love to have a good answer to.

Cheers.

Living world that could change due player atitudes and decision.
For how much the game had a good storyline to start that Anet isnt at that lvl, that would sugest a “openbox” world were guilds had the power to change the world of tyria., and then they could apply their mini stories….

Eldrag.6902:

Finally someone think in the right way ! YES !

Open world PvP like in L2 is also beautiful idea : ]

And i tough WvW would turn into a “Mist continent” were guilds get their castles to control resources, but its just a mixture of GW1 Alliance battle and Starcraft zergfest.

Yet they didnt add guild stuff as GvG, the “pseudo” guild distric wich i expect to be awfull implemented (lets hope im wrong) , and are adding snow man finishers…

ArchonWing.9480:

Because ascended gear is poorly thought out, and every aspect of them shows why.

Ascended gear/items looks forced due bad design decisions yet makes the game more clumsy.

There are no tanks….you just survive longer when people spike auto atack you, it will be needed toughness and health for that.

Health+toughness > healing power, check invaders if you want a armor with less power and better vitality, might help when in a large group.

I think i should not be posting a reply, since my ideia of this game is awfull (worse mmo i ever played so far).

-Bad skill, classes and mechanics with small deathmatch WvW maps ,in my opinon map design sould never be adopted with the deathmatch design, siege is other thing that needs to be reworked altough is getting fixed by time, wvw ranks made me start to avoid WvW at all since was the only insteresting thing gw2(and even WvW is a bad game mode due how the game is limited).

- Dragons arent anything special has i tough would it be, lore is friendly but story progression is clumsy, the only good point i found in story is while on the human city but thats all it has to offer.

This game is getting so bad yet Anet can distract players with snowman finishers in PvP and WvW…..

Same Kiss with dozens of guilds from gw1 ?

Just dont put Northen Shiverpeaks out of the equation, as we trying to get more flesh on the field.

People will always choose to conquer an “abandoned” wvw map, in many cases i see A taking B borderland while A do not recover theyre borderland.

Lord Trejgon.2809:

@Aeolus I believe he meant 3k armor
anyway I want to tell You something I observed in WvW.
nearly EVERYONE are specing their dmg into direct dmg so power/prec/crit dmg
and everyone when want to make some more bunker build are spending points in toughness asap
and in the consequences very little into vitality.
and also I noticed that most people when burned are burning like a paper if burning is applied properly quickly (burn burn – condi removal – burn burn – death)
and thats without no spec in condition dmg with 45 lvl guardian using skil nr 1 from tome of Wrath – that was so cleanse of enemies on the walls

the thing is – right now no one is focusing on vitality because there are very phew builds focused on conditions – and maybe burning stacking by duration make them weaker in dmg than proper number of other condition stacks – but also You need apply only one stack to inflict rather good dps – and other conditions start to be dangerous only when stacked in properly numbers.
and conditions ignores targets armor – and most ppl are specing into armor in case of survivability.
so why we cannot use our given by profession build to make some burning hybrid build?
when we find good balance between power crits and condi we can do much more than when specing into power/prec or condi

Focusing on health and armor is wrong in many aspects becouse with guardian you become less efective on killing one thing that i learned on the hard way is “kill before target press any key” atm i changed to a zerk/valk guardian with 115% crit damage, i was being almost insta killed with a 25k health and 3700 amor guardian, so now i can take several targets at once, there are some builds that no matter how many RC you have and health you will be obliterated in seconds.

Very few build on conditions? i think its the other way except for warrior and guardian, and warrior with boon hate dealing
12k+ damage with one skill on guardian is way to much

But has i expect from gw2 updates, i am already waiting for gw3…at least ill try it.

timidobserver.7925:

Going full condition doesn’t work, but if you craft your gear correctly and take the new grandmaster trait you can manage pretty good power, condition damage, and toughness. Something like 3k power, 700-800 condition damage, 3k toughness, 15-16k health.

I think it works out well if you can whirling wrath for 5k while at the same time burning them nearly constantly for some absurd amount.

3k toughness?

snowaugar.1823:

Ioj just went kitten this ain’t working time to pvdoor their offtime when they have no presence oh my look an excuse and now dh is picking up againbsp I smell a team up against us its funny we scare them soo though they rightfully should be lowest pop/coverage server in the lead lol

As if our presence is that great, 2 to 8 player in our BL.

People love SM way to much…

Best way to balance is to make all players use same build.

And i was thinking quiting from guardian(game demands 2h weapon now).

Linky.9178:

I bet anet had no idea what to give us and just threw something in just so we won’t cry and be like, “how come all these classes got new traits but us”

^that was what tough when readed the updates.

foofad.5162:

I haven’t run Altruistic Healing since November. Don’t need it, don’t want it, enjoying the buff to Greatsword Power when I’m not busy demolishing things with sword/shield and staff.

So, y’know.

Learn to play, and the build diversity skyrockets.

Amen brother.

+1 to the pair of unskilled and clueless tools. Make sure to get that wool sheared off yourselves so you look good after this awesome patch.

I dont know, has i already lost the sense of build diversity.
On WvW (only thing i do) after tried loads of builds the only thing i can assume is guardian on critical damage is the best and only way to play it, dead people cant damage you, and doing 6k damage in area (per target) well its more than worthy as playing other pseudo roles that class have that can get wrecked easily.

PSto warriors: Boons

maybe for daily, since now it can be made in 5minutes then log-off

Play a 2h critical guardian and your problem is solved.

Only thing that matters is damage, kill the target before it kills you, simple as that.

roachsrealm.9284:

(…)
It still isn’t as easy or generally useful as AH, but it’s an option without traiting into toughness (which, even on a Guard I find almost useless in PvE) Just my 2 cents..

Any others?

Useless in everyhing, changed from a bunker(23khealth and 3700 armor and arround 2.9k atack) to zerk/valk 2h guardian now i can win 1vs3, armor in this game is almost useless, and feels like game only have one true build thats is dps or some sorta of high damage carrier.

At this time i feel gw2 mechanics more dumb than any other mmo..

Go for crit build with 2h sword on solo or small group and a meditation or shout build.

Quoting Ezeriel.9574
“(…)I remember it like it was yesterday, because it was yesterday. My guard with 3340 armor took a 12k+ killshot.(…)”

That is the new trait line on warrior giving them 3% to 6% more damage per boon, saw a guardian being one hitted with that one and he runs over 15k hp, problem is he poped all boons at that momment, i still need to find a uber sniping to build my warrior, its good to kill key guardians on groups 20+ VS 20+. that is anet wanting to avoid “sturdy” classes.

OP can you post your stats here?

GoM > NSP

sorry to break it to ya =p

Don’t say you don’t miss us.

Indeed.

GoM is sure a dreammer… pretending to be Batman! :P

Spoiler: Batman dies with Flash by Darkseid’s Omega Beams on the Final Crisis.

Wow NSP…you guys laugh at us when it takes you guys 45 minutes and 3 times our numbers to get us out of the SE tower. Now that’s some funny kitten!

You were laughing with us right? :P

Its kinda funny that ur complaining they laugh at u DH when all u DH do is laugh when u kill 1 person with 10+ so plz stop crying when nsp laughs at u and as u can see from my reply above they also used 4 siege + like 7 ppl for just 2 NSP

This is you, cloak, backstab, get hit, lose half life, shadow refuge, run away. You spent majority running away rather than fighting. And it seems NSP likes to roam with thieves only. Spam 2 ftw right?

Oh no, NSP isnt mostly thieves. They are mostly rangers! I swear they had a zerg of rangers fighting us on the middle island from both the SE and SW towers. And they wouldn’t even rush us since they all used SB/LB so we were fighting a zerg of ranger pets like half of the night. It was like we got dropped into a zoo with loose animals trying to kill us everywhere. Oh yeah, and lots of arrows.

Sir have you met HoD? More rangers per capita than LoTRO.

If we could make a demonstration of the most played class on wvw i think would be like this.

SF, DH- balanced.
HoD – rangers.
NSP – maybe Warriors or guardians.
GOM – a six pack of thieves and a free mesmer.

" Like other similiar traits, only unique boons count for the bonus damage. For example, a target with 25 stacks of Might and 1 stack of Fury will increase damage dealt by 6%. " gw2wiki source.

Any of the warriors in here got a “musketeer” build?

I have seen damage going like 10k+ on tanky guardians with kill sthot and i wanted to try it on my warrior.

TANKS in advance.

Iconik.8712:

Double post. My apologies.

What I’m saying is, you can have all the toughness and armor in the world, and the straight up DPS builds (which every one does) still melt you.

GRANTED, I can jump into a zerg and live longer than any one else on the field, but what good does that do in the end? lol

Lure the blob into you cast some CC, let your group push the zerg, heal, then join your group, at the end for how many players you tagged with your staff you wont have a badge. :X

Back to damage build after that, bags everywhere.

Jeddite.8620:

high survive ability with guardian is a joke.

i play guardian in a roaming guild we play 5vs5/x in openfield.
i’am first target the most time.
if we me meet another group their guardian will be our first target or if there are a necro the necro.

why that? because a guardian is visible the hole time.
movement he only have with the combo gs+sword+blink (if he use judg’s) and that only if there are a target to blink away with sword/judg’s.

he have block the ability shelter, renewed focus, shild of wrath = 8 sek block,
but after that time he die.

protection is no special guardian ability
aegis is not worth to talk about

a guardian is good first target and a save kill.

Idk,max damage people do to me is really low and i have a health pool between 20k and ~24k(depends weapon set) on 3.5k armor, the first thing i learn to drop was healing power, atm running only 200~400 but will start to increase if i feel necessary.

i wouldnt mind a guardian health buff XD

So what is going in there?

i use a thief and necro a min size XD, on the necro people target my minions instead of me XD

I finished the monthly yesterday, and just doing wvw.

i would go with crit chance.

I might run arround ~2300tough with ~23k health
on max tough might go to 2500 native w/o boons or food but healh drops almost 10k

this might be more ocurate:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fUAQJApOmIyKISsHa8jb86RClIDB-jkxAYsAmALiGbZsIasabMNMRUtJvIa1CBobMA-w

Humm, i still believe the problem is map and WvW design, no matter how much stuff they have on in, it will always be a stalled game or wit will get even more broken and yet WvW is the best this game has to offer as gameplay IMO.

“Better incentives and rewards for small groups and defense”

I understand this as siege having more damage to certain type of siege.(it should be like that from start or at least on first updates).

From his comment the only improvment is the commander stuff.

Onshidesigns.1069:

WvW is not PvP only! It’s PvP/PvE together.

yeah but, its the Mist why do we have common mobs there? since mist worklike FoW or UW, it would be more eye candy if it have is own biome and mobs.

Sororita.3465:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2EptxsjKHE

-.- idc that NSP/DH sees this, yall need some learning.

We build tons of siege usually , we dont have players to refresh it….

Repair golems with supply’s from the castle you got that would be niiice!

So many asuran engi’s and none can repair a golem :P

snowaugar.1823:

King Amadaeus.8619:

The biggest issue with WvW (mechanic-wise) for me is that if I roll up on a group of 10 enemies, all 10 of them can hit me, but I can only hit 5 of them at a time……

Stop trying to 1v10 o.o you’ll never win

Stop trying to say gw2 is a good game, if it was they could cover with a mechanist that allow 1 vs(>5), it is still 1 player versus alot of them if the player isnt suposed to survive against 8 or 10 why pusnish the number of targets? if 10 eles atack your group of 5, that is alot of damage so why cant the player atack the 10man blob back?

Lets talk about AOE zergs, theres plenty of skills that cant nullify most of the AOE damage already, they just need a litle adjustement for that role.

P.S trying not to talk about map design or wvw structure wich is really really bad by default.

I use traited shield of the avenger for slacking and free protection w/o the need to care about karka range

Those runes of rata sum….. and anything works on PVE :P

Lets give it time :}

Nymph of Meliai.6739:

RoS is a medium server and we destroyed RoF more than once.

WvW population != server population

i can envy you a little

WvW ascended, collect them all!

No worry on not having your persecursor, you might have soon or later.

Besides, shooting rainbows??….overrated

Mad Rasputin.7809:

Retaliation is reportedly currently broken on the borderland maps.

Retaliation was supposedly nerfed along with confusion a patch or two ago. Except, the retaliation nerf only applies to EB and does not apply to the borderland maps.

This needs to be fixed.

Yes from 600 to 300 and doing 250 damege on EB, when on 1vs1 uf any1 dies from retaliations that player is really kitten :/

Epic large maps on mist fow or uw where castles, keeps towers control resources camps and bonus for pve world.

Linanthony.1809:

Are you kidding me? Commando class is the engineer
Put some black flashy armor on your engineer and voila, you have your commando
Or maybe change the name of engineer to commando, you won’t even notice the difference

or… just wait for gw3 and the new engeieer.

KayOz.3750:

Great. This change was the only thing that kept me playing this week. Was so excited about the change. And now…

Just mix the kitten matchup? What’s so hard there?

(…) Gotta find a new game.

Same here… guess tonigh will be boose night then.

GL on Anet finding the best and faster way to bring this new match up system to the next weak.

GvG on WvW so… chunky

EDIT: Anet Queen Jennah demmands you to hoppen a tournament open to all realms on a real GvG arenas!

Information was obtained by Logan Thackeray before he runned away!

Snow Ghost.6817:

It is certainly unfair to say that GoM, as a server, does not have any skill or similar skill to the other tier 7 servers. They are winning aren’t they? Can we stop them? Nope!
(…)
/salute

i dont see it quite like that….

WvW population as numbers and siege tactics is what is needed to win on this mode, skill or no skill the only objective here to be green and they are doing it.

p.s. If theres something i would say well “Grats on your population dedication GoM, a little envy on your numbers.”

1h Sword if far from weak when traited decently.

Nothing can solve bad WvW design.
