Guild Wars 2

sephiroth.4217:

I miss small servers but due to t1 population makes my PC run at 2-4 FPS.

Right there with ya, buddy! I get about the same FPS in NA T1.

The old beast chugs like no tomorrow. Feels like it was built in 1984.

Thought i was the only one.

+1

T1 is ridiculous.

You need to be clairvoyant in order to get your heal off in time.

You realise NA servers aren’t limited to people living in NA.

There are heaps of people fighting in OCX and SEA timezones.

There are also huge population imbalances in NA timezones, do we disregard that?

Necros are good for boon corrupts and being well bots in WvW.

The focus fire / chain-stun is real.

Necro Greatsword is even clunkier than Guardian Hammer….

I would give my left nut to have some GS improvements so i could use it in WvW.

I’ve tried, but it’s even worse than Axe in Player vs Player fights.

Might be ok for PvE, but that doesn’t make it ok.

Also, Mini Hawks/Owls etc from the Black Lion Chests.

I have multiples of each sitting in my bank; hoping they become useful.

Shortbow – Ranger shortbow could use some love.

Found a video of me getting knocked off a cliff in Alpine Borderlands by a ranger – was pretty funny to be honest.

Had some fun on Celestial Engineer/Scrapper running Elixir Gun, Flame Thrower, Rocket Boots and the Mortar thingy as the elite.

Solid power DPS, decent burning ticks, good sustain and some great healing potential.

May not be meta, but it was a heap of fun.

Meh, i have fun roaming on Reaper.

I used to roam on base Necro, so reaper is already a step forward with RS2. Although the previous iteration of Spectral Walk was awesome, where you could leap off a cliff and pop it at the bottom – was good for trolling and watching other classes follow you to their death.

There’s no escaping any groups/zergs, but that kind of makes it fun – fight tooth and nail until the end.

Hoping A-net would add the new HOT druid pets into WvW in some manner.

Perhaps they could be purchasable from the vendor if you own a HOT account or something similar??

I purchased HOT, but really don’t enjoy PvE – i only bought it for the new class and elite specs. #sadface

Xenesis.6389:

You do realize that groups already run without tags and they don’t always want to run as a public group? Plus you can create a tagless squad already.

Yes some commanders might retreat to just running their own private squads when they get the tag, but that’s their choice, a choice that already exist today, we’re just giving them a tag for their squad/guild to see.

Plus with Ccoms commanders on TS know where other groups are.

Chat spamming isn’t going to be any different than it is today when no tag is up.

Agree with this – this would be a most excellent addition and i don’t think it would be too hard to implement. Currently, we just click Ctrl-T on the commander and follow him this way. A squad/guild tag option would be fantastic.

LOL, 15 characters

mcarswell.3768:

I and many others have been chasing the RvR experience we had in DAoC for going on 15 years now, and everything has let us down. GW2 is the best/closest thing there is right now, but it could be so much more with the right attention.

Yeah. Pre-TOA/frontiers DAoC was awesome. GW2 is the closest thing since that game.

X T D.6458:

-Fix the bug where you get stuck in place, really hate having to use the /dance emote in front of an enemy blob

-Fix the waypoint loading bug, that also causes rendering issues like your weapons and spell effects not to display. This happened to me a couple of weeks ago where my character was completely invisible! I literally played for hours not being able to see my toon.

Agree with these, but the last 2 made me laugh – it’s funny cuz it’s true.

Less siege / siege damage would be ideal.

Let’s promote fighting, not siege humping.

Nerf ACs plz

The OCD is kicking in…

Nate.3927:

katniss you should really stop taking the name of the second book too literally

I see what you did there.

Geez, i wish i didn’t have to PvE for Legendaries…

Hexinx.1872:

- Everyone fights
- Everyone runs
- Hell everyone scouts when they eat food at there desk
- Everyone uses siege – yes I have been under some heavy siege from BG just as much as I have with any other opponent
- Everyone open field fights
- Everyone targets anet tags like they hold precursors
- Everyone roams at times
- Everyone blobs at times
- Everyone attacks
- Everyone defends

Most of all, everyone says the same old boring kitten comments about opponents. No one is any different or any more special than the other. In your opponents eyes, your a red dead special snowflake.

Sad to know some BG guilds had enough, but being on TC – have been through that many times. I enjoy fighting BG, have enjoyed fighting them for the better part of the past 2 years. DB nice to have… and have provided some fun as well. Don’t care who wins losses or draws … just care to have fun place to go enjoy the game with good people, good drinks, good comms, and enjoy the game.

+1

Necro GS to be sped up and damage reduced – maybe in line with Guardian GS – could be a PvP/WvW only change, even though A-net don’t like splitting skills.

Lmao, Kim Jong Fun….

Xenesis.6389:

Sirbeaumerdier.3740:

Make it a toilet with the sound effect and all and I vote for it.

Been waiting for them to add that to the mystic forge for quite some time.

+1 to the mystic forge idea

Nikola.3841:

“xxx just killed yyy in Emain Macha” repeated 96 times, and make you proud and zerg laughed at

Ah I was on Gawaine Hibernia and i still remember Albs launching an attack on our relic keep. There was this Mana Mentalist on our server named Cylanth i think.. as everyone was running towards the relic keep you just saw his deathspam – he must have wiped half the enemy zerg – i think i still have pages of screenshots of the chat text – it was incredible.

This is another thing – you knew your foes in DaoC RvR and the key players on your server per class. They had leaderboards on the Camelot Herald for kills for each class/server/realm. I remember finally cracking the top list for my class/realm – it was a proud day.

I knew when i saw Benz (Shadowblade) or Ramirez (Infiltrator), that i was in big trouble because they were straight up killers and my Ranger was no match for them. There are no reputations in GW2 WvW (aside from a few Commanders) – it’s sad.

Been a good couple of weeks in T1 – had some great fights.

The skill lag is real though….

Agree – they should add Proofs of Heroics to PvP. I’ve unlocked elites on all my toons via WvW. No reason this couldn’t apply to PvP either.

Josh XT.6053:

Well Blobgate blobs and is over stacked and blah blah blah.

Yeah, I’m with you man lol. I’ve seen it in almost every thread here. People in T1 think they’re the only servers that exist.

LMAO.

McKenna Berdrow.2759:

In the next release, a 6th pip is being added to the provision master ability line that allows you to buy HoT recipes, sigils, and runes from the heroics notary vendor.

Amazing, thank you so much! You’ve made my day!

Fatherbliss.4701:

I like my balance like I like my partners. Readily available for shenanigans and in even doses spread out over a period of years.

LOL – love this comment.

I would fully support build saving.

Rucksack? Hang on, you mean like the old Engineer hobo-sack?

I’d feel like father Christmas with a rucksack.

Side note: Create a Santa Claus chartacter in preparation for legendary hobo-sack.

Disagree with this idea.

Are you the driver of any group? If so, what is your rank? I don’t think you’d be disagreeing if you were a driver getting super focused all the time.

Also curious to hear an explanation of why you disagree other than just disagreeing. I’m pretty open minded, but some kind of reasoning is the only way I can see your side lol.

Rank 3200 roughly. Yes i have tagged (not regularly). Yes i get focussed (even when not tagged).

Worked hard to get the rank and that’s why i don’t want it removed. PvPers get the shiny little rank icon. Might be a bit of an ego thing, but that’s ok.

To each their own. My rank pretty much just got away from me lol. I got most of my ranks from roaming and just flipping camps, towers and keeps with a small group of 2-5 people. High ranks just make it look like all you did was EOTM or zerg around your whole time in WvW lol. Most people I run in to around my Platinum rank or higher while roaming are EASY to beat and seem to have zero skill. I don’t care about showing my rank when roaming, but in larger group play, being able to hide it would be a nicer thing. I would be fine with it being hidden by default and everyone just being an “Invader” to the enemy.

All good points. I’ve been playing since launch and got my first thousand or more running Havok and roaming with a couple of real life friends. It wasn’t till they left the game that i joined an established guild and have got the rest with them. I certainly didn’t EoTM farm the points though.

This is really the only game mode i play (I did PvP for a while), but I come from DAOC where WvW (RvR) is what keeps me interested in the game. As other posters have mentioned, we have some commanders that are lower in rank, are still awesome players and still get targeted like crazy.

Maybe an option would be to have an optional on/off rank selection. Alternatively, if they made the rank visible to allies only (similar to PvP rank) that could work, but then that may also bring it’s own set of problems with people being judged for their rank etc – we see the toxicity that is rife within PvP.

Not sure what the optimal solution is really.

Fix ranger short bow first – terrible weapon.

We also run backup commanders that take over should the main commander go down.

My money is on Nike Warrior. Sword / Warhorn + Greatsword, plus Bulls Charge + that new leap skill from the elite spec.

Mesmer/Necro underwater champions.

Jerry CCH.9816:

“All NO "

Anet!!!!!!!!!!!

( CAN YOU NERF AC DAMGE ??? )

This. So much this. LOL.

Dyeable wings please

EremiteAngel.9765:

I think the usual saying goes like this:

Fear the Reaper

;)

Love that song – Don’t fear the reaper.

Let’s hope they don’t get completely gutted like Necros – what happened to shaving and adjusting instead of taking a hammer to a class.

Agreed – this would be a great improvement

It sucks not being able to use greatsword in PvP/WvW.

It’s just too slow and cumbersome – now that they have nerfed chill, perhaps they could speed this up to be more in line with the Guardian greatsword.

Lets face it, the constant pressure from chill damage was keeping us in the meta. I’ve tried various condition builds since the patch, the most effective being Dhummfire/Terror with Reaper’s Onslaught, but there are still better condition builds available if you want them;

- Condi Mesmer is brilliant… really enjoying this build atm.

- Condi Revenant is pretty decent as well, the only drawback being they have 1 set of condition based weapons…. so i just slot sword/shield for the lolz and run carrion/rampager.

- Condi Warrior – Sword/Sword / Longbow – has always been viable

- Condi Thief – Amazing in WvW with Trapper runes.

- Burn Guardian – talk about high ticks…

Back in their rightful place as the GW2 soccer ball.

Change it back to chill – i don’t care if it overlaps with other chill. Reduce the damage if need be. Halve the damage even. It’s the consistent dps from chill that was helping out the condi reaper.

2 bleeds – i would still not take the trait. It’s a grandmaster trait.

Condi Necro got gutted – what are you talking about

5 second cooldown reductions on WOD and WOP. Both average wells. They should be 35-40 second cooldown baseline.

More awesome buffs from Failnet.

Nope – but they have been a great class since the game launched. Not buffed to the extreme and nerfed to the extreme all the time.

They added boon corrupts which no one asked for and then nerfed the main theme of the whole bloody specialisation.

I’m so kittened off by this. I cannot fathom who thought these changes would be good – they could have shaved damage, application or duration, not gut the entire trait.
