Guild Wars 2

That is a valid question, why do pure sPvP players need laurels to begin with …

I do pve too. Already got world completion once. But oke I’ll answer your Q.

We need something else than 5 maps, endless glory grind for prestige gear out of reach. Me and my lads have been playing to Rank 40+ now and prestige gear is close enough. R50+. Just taking a few months to get there. So Laurells for us would be nice. Even if they only unlock dyes in the mists.

There isn’t a single way for me to get glory in PvE, why doesn’t Anet care about us?!?

Glory is a currency to buy items that are relegated to only being used in The Heart of the Mists. Those items are cosmetic upgrades of stuff. You already have the gear, with stats, and a much easier way to get them if you don’t. You have no idea what you are talking about.

Are you kidding me? The same thing can be said about Laurels and PvE…. There is no reason why a PvPer would need anything that the vendor sells, just like a PvEer doesn’t need anything from sPvP vendors.

Now, here are you wrong. You’re in desperate need of prestige vendors in the mists because the starting gear is just horrible.

open up crystal desert… man i wanna wander around there

Yes! YES YES YES!

Or something? Laurells not available for pvp players. Sure you want us to go out and explore but really? Not even 1 achieve available with 1 laurell as reward? Buhu…

Not working accordingly. Plenty of times me and my comrades stomp with quickness and there’s no result.

Been stuck for 24h in rooster in 2 hours.

Me and my comrades played some frees to nail down our rotation for paid tournaments this week as we got to finals but the game crashed for us. We were stuck in Foefire for 30 min and nothing happened. Restarted the game an hour later, still nothing so we went to sleep. Upon awakening the new build was available and now we’re stuck in roster and cannot leave it. What do we do?

The circles need to be clearer imo. It’s just outlines of a circle as for now. :/

I’m saying goodbye to guild wars 2 for a while. No personalizing traits/weapon skills. THere’s plenty of games that has what I’m looking for. Tired of every kitten 2222222 thief and d/d elementalists 100 blades warriors shatter mesmers burst engineers dps guardians and necros. There’s no variety at all in this kitten game. Sick and tired of this game. I got world completion, 42 in pvp. My god what have arenanet done to deserve so much of my time except for ruining every single thing I love about MMOs…

“I’m defeated but you don’t know it yet.” – Asura

I hate this line so much. So dis-motivating…

Now, don’t jell at me ‘cause i’m plain dead serious when asking this in a most respectful way… Did you hire kids to make this game or just a bunch of newbies within the MMO world ’cause I cannot stand the voices much longer in this game.

Why? Because I don’t want to hear when battling in pvp with my Asura; “I’m defeated but you don’t know it yet.” or with my charr saying something like: “Help me…” or something. (Was a long time ago on my charr but I know something was wrong with the acting there too).

Get my point? Anyone else having this dis-motivating sentences popping up for humans/sylvari/norn?

Name Change +1 & Guild Name Change +1

Sorry but this will never work since I want to see around my character.

Skill 5 on shortbow doesn’t reveal from Refuge.

1) Me and my fiancee. ^^ My Charr is watching over her as she sleeps. ^^ Sometime near October…
2) Kissing! <3
3) Sauna!
4) Skybreak!
5) Picnic!

^^ I can live with this, just wanted to ventilate. :P

Feels like whenever I’m 1on1 a necro he always ends up killing me before I have a chance finishing since he drains my life even in stealth. ^^

Feels like I’ve been complaining a lot but I’m just curious to know why Necromancer’s Down State attacks is so kitten OP + AoE. T_T

I’m posting because you removed the option to be able to capture points while in stealth which made the thief nearly useless as roamer.

This is the worst reason you could use.
That was one of the best things that were added.
What’s the point of capturing something while stealthed?
“Look, I’m capturing your base while invisible, and you don’t even know it!”

Don’t be like this. I totally understand why they removed the feature allowing us thieves not to capture while in stealth but I want to remove stealth whenever I want.

People, this thread is about good pvp players. Not hotjoin newbies. Please understand that. 5v5. Not 8v8. No newbie elementalists but pro elementalists. Keep that in mind when continuing to debate about this topic.

I play thief and shadow refuge is a reliable skill for everyone using thief in a team setup for tournaments. I’m posting because you removed the option to be able to capture points while in stealth which made the thief nearly useless as roamer. Here’s the main reason for writing; as you use shadowshot to leave the shadow refuge stealth you have to wait 3-4 maybe 5 seconds before you leave stealth. Is this intended? Because It’s frustrating not being able to leave stealth when you’re alone on point and have to wait 4 seconds giving the enemy 4-5 seconds advantage of the 15 sec res to get back to point.

Thoughts Anet?

I’m a thief and i cannot see why you would say this needs immediate attention, if you want to leave stealth to capture then equip a bow as secondary weapon and use skill 5 which will reveal you. Being stealth is an advantage, so saying the enemy has 4 seconds or so advantage as you cannot capture a node while stealthed is odd.

This is what I am trying to say. When i use shadowstep (bow) after I’ve gone to stealth with shadow refuge to finish someone at a node I have to wait 4-5 seconds until I leave stealth. Everyone skill make me leave shadow refuge immediately like when shooting/hitting something/someone. But if I’m alone and have nothing to shoot I’m forced to wait regardless. So that’s why this need an immediate tweak. Our Tour setup is always deeply affected by this.

It is not intended to be able to switch characters mid-match, in tournaments. This is on our list of things to fix.

Thanks Tyler for clearing that out. My tourney team will be thrilled to hear this.

Paids aren’t the issue. Nor because I’m bad (because I don’t like to think so at my rank). The issue is that Elementalists has too much healing power. If they reduced the healing power and riding on lightning speed we might be able to 1 on 1 them the same way as I can 1 on 1 a bunker guard.

Empathetic Fighter.2065:

Well if a guard dies to your conditions, he is definitely false specced. Or only specced against burst. I play 3 shouts, with soldier runes and trait that remove a condition. So I pretty much hold every 1v1.

Bunkers aren’t often that good in paid tournaments since they’re not playing that much and learns how the battlefield works. Usually Bunker Guardians are secondary choices to support team and they got 1 thing to do; hold people off point and survive against heavy burst. But once I’ve managed to decide if the guardian is good or not, I usually take them down with conditions when carefully put out. It’s hard but it’s definitely doable!

Elementalists on the other hand, sure if you don’t know what you’re doing you will die from anything but if you’re good, you have a 98% coming out as a victor.

Xil is obviously trolling since I got 800+ pvp hours and I still have problem with bunker eles even as burst thief (main: condition). I take take down guardians with my conditions, but elementalists are just not worth it. As empathietic said; would be an endless battle with bunker elementalists due to their 500 knockdowns and heals.

Some of you don’t know that I am talking about Paid Tournaments. I’ve recently fought against OnibawaN and a few other higher strategic players. Luckily I’m not accusing them for this “exploit” since it was another team new to Paids which were doing the class-swap in the beginning of the game to counter our team setup.

I’m not saying I’m after a fast win because I’m not (even if I love fast won games) but it’s really upsetting coming up with a nice setup to be able to counter most of other setups to have no advantage when the opposite team switch characters before game start to eat your setup up with a huge advantage.

Think of my argument as this; American football. As a trainer you usually look on how the opposite team plays over recorded footage of their matches. That’s how you know how to deal with them. Not getting a glimpse of the future of how they will play during (your match) and how you will counter it.

It’s not only me affected about this. I think team setups shouldn’t be exploited this way. It’s just not fair. And with the patch, they should have this exploit removed.

If you want to be good in tours and face team with curtain setups you should check how they play with the upcoming patch which will enable you to do so. Not switch characters in mid game because you can.

I’m asking a little frustrated after the heart pounding loss in paid tournaments as the starting setup was promising for our advantage as the other team switched characters before the match started to give the advantage on their side. It’s “squishy” to be able to do that in tournaments at all. What are Arenanet- and the community’s feedback on this?

A friendly/non-disrespectful question:
Why cannot Arenanet just come out and confirm that they’re working on some new playable pvp modes?

Something that gives another player an advantage isn’t allowed. So this is against the fair play rules.

Yeah I’d like to know too.

Didn’t find any posts around this here and didn’t want to post the topic in “game suggestions” so I post it quick here and you can do what you want with this post.

Filtering. I’d like to sort by views or something to see which posts have drawn most attention. Is this possible for you to do?

DESCENDING FEATURE

These are my ideas around the descending feature for Guild Wars 2. These descending styles will be used as a safe way of descending without dying. I’ve been tired of every MMO with a lack of secondary option when you trip and fall towards your death. You should really consider having a secondary option when it comes to falling and/or if you choose to jump over a steep edge for a variety of reasons. Here are my suggestions.

RACES

I think you should consider creating a descending feature based on races and/or profession since all descending styles based on professions might not suit the races. In other words “would look stupid.” That’s why I have included unique racial-based styles. But in the end, you will make the call of including these descending styles.

Sylvari
Description: I would like to see a descending feature based on this race that looks like a tree crown/flower of some sort. The Sylvari race looks like trees/plants with a humanoid shape which with a shape shifting descending skill would suit them well. Leaves are another suggestion. I think that help from Mother Nature isn’t a bad decision since the Sylvari was born from a tree. Summoning leaves for your final descent would look really good both in the game and for the player.

Norn
Description: Norn can use shape shifting so eagle wings would look nice. They are guided in this world by their Spirits of the Wild, who embody the virtues of the mightiest beasts. Now, personally I think a shape shifting descent like this wouldn’t look too shabby in Guild Wars 2.

Charr
Description: Parachute ftw.

Asura
Description: Their mystic technology is found across the continent. The diminutive asura are the smartest people in Tyria. They are smart and should have a really “smart” descending style. Something magical perhaps or something more of a concrete invention. A platform such as the platforms for the platform jumping puzzles in Caledon Forest.

Human
Description: What’s a human? Erhm… A simple parachutea would do them great as well in some nice silky textile or something.

PROFESSIONS

Descending features based on professions is much easier than coming up with unique racial-based descending styles. But all profession-based descending styles doesn’t look good for all races as previously mentioned. But these are still good suggestions of what might suit both races and professions.

Engineer
Type: Using parachute.

Thief
Type: Using a shadow cloak.

Guardian
Type: Spirit/Angel wings.

Necromancer
Type: One-winged angel? Anyone? ^^ No but Undead/Demonic wings?

Ranger
Type: Birds.

Warrior
Type: Stomp.

Elementalist
Type: Tornado.

Mesmer
Type: Static Bubble (Sonic The Hedgehog)

Feel free to discuss!

Yeah he found it too. ^^

Found this in the Heart Of The Mists.

You squishy Arenanet. Was this intended? If so, pretty cool place to have found this. ^^

5 more people in the mists have spiking like me. T_T

Ok Anet. Confirmed it’s only me. I’ve never had this problem before. All my other games works fine except Guild Wars 2. The game freezes (spiking) in combat so there’s a 3-4 second delay so I can’t react to anything else. I need help. What do I do?

Anyone else getting huge spikes today? Cause I run a solid broadband connection and there’s nothing in the entire household that is causing my spikes.

Yeah this is very annoying.

I’ve seen 1 helmet that don’t work on asuras. And some tweeks can be made. I personally don’t like the fact that the toes peek out but maybe it’s just me.

Just 1 minor refinement and I can live with it. As you want to move (in downed state) and shadowstep to another area to prevent finishing, you HAVE to put the distance accurate for the mark to become green and you can click-to-move.

Please just make me move in that direction weather it’s green or not cause people with haste give me 1 milli-second to react and it’s hard to put the cursor in a accurate distance for me to click-to-move.

Best regards, Xifix

Is there a way to get Anet to give a complete bulletlist posted here of what they intend to implement and fix with GW2? For the people with dyslexia having a hard time diggin’ out information from the bunch of text. I’ve read it all, didn’t find much. Would do Anet good.

I have to agree with HERO.2057. All I read was the exact same thing. I was looking forward to a bulletlist stuffed with things they were going to do, not text text text happy text 2012 text.

Elites need to be polished and added too.

I’ve taken out a whole team of 8 players in pvp on Forest Of Niflhel as they tried to res. But I do want some improvements like crawling and no second chance. In PvE you are finito after 3-4 downs. PvP should have 1 more showdown. Longer res isn’t appropriate.
