Guild Wars 2

Mueh…. I just have dual 24" monitors I use at the same time. Though I never had a problem with the FOV in video games. I always adjusted it to my liking – never having a problem with it. Shrugs Guess I’m the lucky few I guess.

I haven’t had any signiciant issues with FOV period with this game, even on one monitor. So I’m curious as to what percisely is the problem?

As for 3d vision or whatever crap… I don’t use it. Perhaps it’s practice – tho I do know GW2 has crazy measurements in the game in terms of distance. The distance between two objects is incredible skrewed. I haven’t had a issue with it screwing with my gameplay. I’m kindof curious as to what people are having problems with.

At least this works wonders in PvE when mobs go invisible.

Your an engineer OP? You do have an anti-stealth scanner. It’s called Grenades. Spam grenades everywhere around you – watch the lulz happen. I’ve done it quite a few times to see theives freak out and return to waypoint wondering how I knew where they were. I didn’t… just took a educated guess and spammed the area around me and where I think the thief is. Considering the closer he is to you – the harder it is for him to dodge (as well as take up his stealth timer) – the more advantage you have. Flame throwers #1 skill works great as well against stealth enemies once you find them.

Really it comes from paying for the retirement benefits and health care of those old pigeons.

Of course a large portion goes to paying flood insurance compensation for citizens of Honor of the Wave, who SHOULD HAVE NEVER BUILT HOMES THERE!

Of course, who builds their homes on giant ice bergs! Crazy I Tell you.

shrugs I used an variety of high level and low level gear to attain the look for the engineer I wanted.. educated adventurer who looked like he was fairly wealthy.

Also not to mention the fact that when the hurricane Jormag hit Honor of the Waves – the daunting amount of damage to the city means it will be recovering for decades as they try to prevent it from sinking back into the ocean. The mismanagement of crisis at the Honor of the Wave by TEMA is an clear example of where our sale taxes are being wasted.

I’ve been steadily pulling back my large investments in the trading post and favoring smaller and smaller orders. Market is too much in flux to risk large orders. When the dust settles, we’re see where things lie.

yes very much so.

I just tried it out on my server… It took 6 hits using the same message to trigger the map suppression. Changing each message does not trigger it.
Changing zones resets it.

Your raging too easily. My testing says otherwise.

If zoning resets this then why even have this system in place? It’s confusing.

Kind of similar to the fact I can zone into the mists to get to LA but I can’t warp there for free. Some kind of time sink ninja middleman. :O

Because when you change zones, you switch map chats.

And once again you are arguing that unless everyone plays this one certain way they have no right to complain. There was never anything said that when playing an engineer KITS are your bread and butter and its fail not use them. An engineers best burst is built around no kits at all.
You also seem to think that by some miracle Anet are the first Devs to create an mmo tht is absolutly perfect right out the gate, without any flaws, glitches, exploits, broken mechanics or imbalances. That everything is working exactly as they intended it to be.
In which case I think you are spending to much time in forums and not enough time actually playing.
—-
It’s not entirely difficult to equip one kit. It’s still your choice to run without kits You are designing your character to run without kits. I have seen engineers run with gadgets and an variety of other builds (and be successful), but the vast majority uses at least one weapon kit.

The engineer is far from perfect but changing the engineer on such a extremely fundamental level of how the profession was designed goes against the profession core concepts. Plain and Simple. You would literally have to re balance the entire class.

Besides with the toolkit skills, you have three extra F1-F4 abilities that a lot of other classes do not have like warrior, thief etc. Not to mention flexibility in aces by the simple change of our skill slots.

edit – Yes. The developers have STATED multiple times that the kits are meant to replace our weapon swap ability. They are the almost equal to a secondary weapon. During the Beta Weekends, people questioned and asked the developers about the weapon slots as well. This is the classes special ability or trick much like the thief’s steal etc. Whether or not you use them is a choice you made. They can be bread and butter if you wish, or you can build your engineer without them, that’s entirely up to you.

This entire topic has made my night. Just putting that out there. Very amusing. To be honest, I don’t see a problem with many of the body types, they seem varied enough.

Hmmm yeah that does suck.

Tactical AFK.7480:

the text was changed numerous times even threw in random numbers and everything else that would change the content while still making it clear to people that it was a LFG request

its been 45+ minutes since and still suppressed im just gonna call it quits

the system is such a piece of kitten

wow… that’s just… kittened.

Change up your message in map chat so you don’t trigger it.

So instead of “Thief LFG CM”

Do – “Thief looking for group Manor!”
“Thief LFG manor”

or what have you. Just add some variety, should be good to go.

Be nice if we had a developers opinion on their stance on the mortar currently.

CriSPeH.8512:

“Also, if Engineer’s did have a wep swap… what on earth would have been the point in all of the kits? Don’t say “oh bcus we are an engineer YALL”. Absolutely stunned how people think they are the developers. Actually if they add Wep-kit they should rename the profession something else… because it’s no longer an engineer.”

All your arguments imply that to play an engineer your HAVE to play with kits. If you play with just elixirs, gadgets or turrets you now have no secondary weapon.

And really turrets are what make us engineers, our kits are more like a demolionist or something and are gadgets are like a 12yr old asian kid looking for one-eyed willy.

I agree with you about Kits being very awesome and being able to switch them around so quick is a sweet tactic for Engineers but it shouldn’t be mandatory to carry a kit to get close to the same amount of skill options as other classes

However that is a choice you made with the class. Engineer play styles are determined by our utility skills we choose. The engineer classes is all about those three skill slots and the elite. It’s a choice you made when you have your build.

Besides even if you had weapon slot… what would you switch to? Our only OTHER weapon? Rifle AND Pistol + whatever? Sorry. I rather have my kits not have cool-downs. Adding a weapon slot and ergo – a cool down would fundamentally change the entire way the engineer class plays for majority of the builds.

I have found given any base color you want to do, there is other colors you can use to make the armor look decent and usually awesome looking. Lots of playing around with the colors is required.

Bassario.3465:

U have clearly not heard it often enough coz u can’t even remember the phrase -_- it is “I could outrun a Centaur” and I don’t mind hearing it, most of these things make me laugh for some reason.

Probably my mind safeguarding my sanity more like it.

CommodoreSkippy.2657:

The Power Suit would go from being a “meh” elite to a great one if only it granted Stability…

I would love it if it was actually useful.

mulch.2586:

Was this change related to the “nude” bug people were talking about?

I believe it was related to a number of bugs occurring like people wearing cultural armor that they weren’t the race of for example.

Red Falcon’

Unicorn bow shooting rainbows? Make a dragon bow shooting flames next time imo.

… for once… that doesn’t make logical sense. Any other game… I would be on board. What is the big bad in this game? Dragons. Why would you make your weapons represent dragons?

not to mention that your party members should be using knockback, crippling etc moves on the boss as well. So if you need some distance, it shouldn’t be hard to get.

I rather have kite wars 2 than “World of Warcraft: Stand and Slash”

konosh.4721:

AndrewWaltfeld.4621:

Don’t hold it to me… but I believe because there was a bug that was rendering players nude when transmuting items. This was their solution to the problem. Can’t have nude people running around in a 12+ age game.

Nope, the nude bug was related to
“Transmuted cultural armor now prevents opposing races from equipping it.”

I stand corrected.

Don’t hold it to me… but I believe because there was a bug that was rendering players nude when transmuting items. This was their solution to the problem. Can’t have nude people running around in a 12+ age game.

hmmm go check? :p

it means you take the armor off.. transmute… put it back on.

lethlora.1320:

it would also help if females did not have absurdly long legs in this game.

i don’t get video game designers’ contempt for female bodies, anyway.

contempt?

con·tempt/k?n?tem(p)t/
Noun:
The feeling that a person or a thing is beneath consideration, worthless, or deserving scorn.
Disregard for something that should be taken into account.

With the amount of flak the gaming industry has been getting lately, they have been nothing but considerate. Contempt certainty isn’t the correct word to use.

Doesn’t matter what time zone they choose, someone will be mad. The europeans are probably just as mad when they update in the morning.

The rogue coat looks pretty spiffy on engineer and thieves. I have it on both of them. However I agree, a little too much trench coat going on. I would love it to see a little more medium armors with some basic chain mail or armor plates (not like a heavy armor but you get meaning).

marianitten.1247:

Is not an exploit, is not a MOD or something like that. The bug is well known.

hmmm then maybe not. I guess. I would then guess a bug patch/quick fix will be out soon to fix it.

Hunzo.4509:

Ok i get what your saying Andrew but have you actually compared the Aesthetic Design of the Legendary great sword to that of the Daggers or any of the other weapons for that fact, if you do you will kind of see where I am coming from i think.

we talking about the legendary dagger Incinerator?

http://www.gw2db.com/items/56208-incinerator#

If so – I agree. I just don’t want to see bigger and bigger weapons much like WoW. I absolutely hated the “bigger” armor or what have you as the tiers went. It went from somewhat cool designs to absurd that your character would topple over from it or at least stab themselves multiple times just by moving.

I just kindof hate that mentality of “bigger is better” I guess.

I would hazard a guess of an obviously yes.

Dragonlord.6748:

Those that say the game is fine and have not seen any zone breaking bugs, have either been extremely lucky or are just denying having seen them because they are unwilling to admit there are problems.

I have 1 lvl 80 char, currently on my second char now at 38 and a lvl 26.

I have yet to see a single zone past lvl 25 that does not have either one or multiple stuck events that does not progress, or skillpoints that cannot be done due to NPCs dont spawn and cannot be interacted with.

And most of these are the same skill points and events that was bugged when I leveled my first char, and seem to be stuck in the very same place they were the first time I passed them.

it’s probably down to server issues rather than actual game issues I would think if we’re getting this much variety of reports.

I actually did encounter two bugged DE’s earlier – both escort quests in the 15-27 human area after queensdale.

Never bothered with rift, so uh no. I’m not a fan of Sub Fees.

Meuh. Large weapons does not make the weapon cool looking. It’s the overall design of the weapon that makes a weapon cool. Size is only sometimes a factor. To be honest, the more unrealistic the weapon looks, the less cool it looks to me. (example – Asura with 7ft long greatsword)

Probably the extreme lack of options to grief someone. Literally the worse thing you can do to someone is probably leave them unrez on the ground. Maybe some Dayz tactics of running by them with 12 risen undead chickens.

EnaiSiaion.8072:

And while you’re kiting you’re not doing damage so say goodbye to your rewards.

So long as you at least do what? 5% of the damage to the mob? you’ll get reward just the same as if you killed it yourself.

Caramel Ham.4891:

I just had a bad case of deja vu. This really reminds me of how how it was in the Swtor forums.

Player A: “This game is dying!! Fix the problems!!!”
Fanboy A: “Game is fine, game is not dying!!!”
Player B: “This game is dying!! Fix the problems!!!”
Fanboy B: “Game is fine, game is not dying!!!”
etc
etc
etc

Now, is the game really dying? I sure have seen a decline of low-mid level players in my server (Dark Haven). But that can be attributed to many reasons.

This happens all the time on MMO launches. It’s a sure thing like the sun rising or setting. For whatever reason. you can bet all your money on it that it will happen and only stupid people would take the bet.

It depends. If you lots of damage, you’ll get targeted as well. My engineer ends up pulling the boss quite a bit because of my grenades and bomb kit.

Zinwrath.2049:

This was something i was thinking the other day. If i was to build my necro into a melle range fighter with lifesteals going for a sort of “shadow knight/death knight” what have you style…it would make sense for me to want to equip some heavy armor.

If i was to want to sit back and play healer with a staff on my gaurdian…perhaps i felt cloth might be my favor. Simply put, i dont like the cosmetic limitations particularly considering i dont see any balance to it.

I can see everyone’s point in this thread in their arguments which are all equally valid. I wouldn’t mind if you could mismatch armors but the question is not whether it’s good for the player-base – but how much WORK would be involved in doing so? It could simply be far easier to allow “skins” so to speak of different armors to be used and mismatch to fit. But still have the professions use light/medium/heavy stats.

It would simply be a modification of the transmutation stone I think would be the easiest solution if people REALLY want to go this route. To be honest, I rather just have the looks rather than the stats. I believe the stat differences between light and heavy is marginal enough that overall – it makes no difference what so ever virtually that I see little reason to homogenize the stats together.

Pretty sure he’s confusing DR with MF.

Revenant.2691:

Erm, lemme step in here for a minute. I’ve been playing a new character, and I can say with absolute certainty that I’ve come across more bugged/stalled DEs than working ones from level 1-40. Also 5-6 bugged skillpoints or other objectives that worked fine my first time through, which have me sitting at 98% completion on literally half the zones I’ve cleared on that char.

I’m not going to say that it’s unreasonable to have a bug or glitch here and there on release, but I feel like I paid $60 for a beta test. Now surely the OP could have expressed himself in a more civil manner and whatnot, but when I see hordes of people coming into topics like this flaming the tar out of anyone who dares to mention that the game’s got a lot of broken content… I’m half-tempted to say “fine, have it your way, game’s fine as it is. Leave it all broken, these guys seem to love it well enough.”

I guess it’s a matter of perception… For many people, we didn’t run into many bugged content except an DE Here, or skill-point there. Which later got fixed. I probably went overboard in my response most likely, but I find it hard to believe with my alt’s been leveling up and my level 80 that most of the game is bugged. At least on my end – I haven’t encountered many bugs except some skill-points which got fixed a week later.

I doubt they were fixed a week later. The servers probably got reset and you got there before they were broken again.

Um no. Until they did the weekly patch – the skill-points were not fixed. I checked after every server reset – no dice. Ironically, I wasn’t able to login directly after the patch was up – so I ended up logging in late afternoon to check and all the skill-points had been fixed. It’s not very far-fetch to believe.

Example of one is in the pic attached.

Dro.8541:

This Company is a kitten joke, honestly i quit this stupid game. They changed my topic name. They gave me an infraction. then i made a post saying they gave me an infraction so they gave me an infraction for saying i got an infraction? HUH

that’s pretty common forum rule by the way regardless of company, organization or group. Making posts about infractions or rulings the mods have made is grounds for another infraction. It’s considered bad form and if you had issues with their ruling, you should have taken it into private.

Dracent.9153:

Where do you spend your time at level 80, in the level 1-50 zones? I doubt it.

Actually I do. I spend it helping other guild mates level and help with story instances they are having trouble with etc. Also leveling a few alts. However Level 1-50 zones is technically the majority of the game by proxy.

Level 1 – 50 being the majority of the way towards level 80.

Aristio.2784:

@AndrewWaltfeld

See, this is what I can see happening inside a “raid.” Does anyone remember in GW1 Prophecies that one mission that required two teams to meet in the middle? I would stand behind that, and at the end have a 10 man boss that requires a lot of coordination.

I’m against gear progression as well. I was promised zero gear progression past a certain point and that’s my main draw to GW2. If I have exotics at level 80, I do not want to grind a raid to get a set of another exotics that are statistically better.

agreed. I hate gear grind as well. I can see them doing interesting things with an 10 man party mechanic but to be honest that would require additional coding and development time. Even if they start now, I wouldn’t expect to see anything for at least half a year.

souldonkey.9534:

This has literally been answered a dozen times. Useless thread is useless. Inb4 inevitable close and redirect to existing thread since OP is not capable of searching the forums himself.

To a thread that is sticky even.

They are doing something.. it’s called having software tools to identify bots being developed. That takes time. Unless of course you are willingly to risk getting caught in the crossfire.

Also they posted 4 days go on what they plan to do. Acting too hastily is just as bad. Not like mass perma bannings alone does anything anyway. 4 days. I repeat… 4 days. Chill out.
