Guild Wars 2

More deleted posts… wow.

Really sad to hear about the lower tiers struggling.

EBG is still occasionally fun in T2 (luckily for us).

I would rather have them character bound but have a decent amount flowing through… i don’t mind the idea of playing the character to get the proofs, but it will literally take me an eternity to unlock all the elite specs for my characters.

Come on – we got those node synthesisers right? right?…

It also takes an eternity to gain the new specialisations which is also fantastic. Love having the flexibility to experiment and test new builds. 2 proofs of heroics for this level i just gained… whoa, whoa… too much value.

I would fully support reward tracks in WvW.

Obtaining 2 green spears per WvW level is not a reward, it is a pain in the kitten – all it does is clutter up my bags.

I preferred the old system.

The new one is buggy and has too many restrictions. Rewards have been nerfed.

Half the time people don’t even get rewards despite contributing.

There was nothing wrong with the old system.

Currently using it to gain hero points on my characters – it is going to take a while.

This thread is depressing.

People will not be satisfied until Necro is garbage tier again.

Probably was a bug and they couldn’t be bothered fixing so it became a “feature”.

20% seems to be the standard preference across Necros and non-Necros i think.

TBH anything would be better than nothing – it’s like playing with a handicap at the start of every match.

Greatsword is poor for PvP – they should have another look at it and try to re-tool it.

It’s not that Reaper is bad, it just doesn’t make that much of a difference over base Necro – it’s lower-mid tier imo. I’m taking it because it’s new and I’ve been playing base Necro in numerous iterations for the last 3 years.

Still not over the changes to Blighter’s Boon – nerfed because Tempest and Revenant were too strong…

As much as i dislike the new maps (mainly because they are too large), they really look like they were designed with gliding in mind.

They should just have an event with gliding and see how it plays out.

I seem to be getting far fewer commendations per event/mission, which really sucks.

I don’t understand why they need to keep nerfing rewards.

Tao.5096:

LF gain should be nerfed with Dagger.

It’s too fast and easy.

Lololololololol

Don’t laugh.

It’s a very serious and delicate matter.

Look how Warriors have it tough compared to Necros.
Necro’s LF doesn’t decay while Warrior’s Adrenaline goes poof almost instantly.

This is wrong. Super wrong.

So, Anet should do this:
- nerf LF gain from Dagger #1 skill
- implement the same decay system to LF like it’s with Adrenaline

Now this will be balanced and no complains~

/solution based on feedback from experienced and veteran players across whole board in the time of one year

So long as Necros get access to blocks/invulns/evads/vigor like every other class.

Shroud is their defensive mechanic.. if it evaporated like adrenaline, they would be unable to survive.

Random.4691:

I don’t want to complete it at all, been playing since beta, have all classes to 80, most are less then 10% map completion. I have no desire to wander around doing the joke that is open world PvE in this game.

Pretty much.

I have 23 level 80s and I’m really not looking forward to the task ahead given 95% of my time is spent in PvP and WvW.

If they could make alternative methods of acquisition via WvW & PvP i think it would be reasonable.

It really isn’t close.

Engineer pistol 4 along with the burn kick from the rocket boots minor skill does so much burning damage it is literally unbelievable. Recently made a Condi Engineer running PP and it’s fantastic.

This has always been the case.

It’s also been the case that Necros start with no Lifeforce, which I don’t agree with.

they should start with 15 – 20%.

Absolutely. Minor things could be improved for quality of life, but I do love feeling like a true reaper. I’m anticipating a bunch of flame from the elitists, but oh well – who gives a kitten what they think? Reaper is incredibly fun and is worth buying HoT for that reason alone

It’s the reason I preordered.

Wait for the nerfs.. they will arrive as sure as night becomes day.

Every class is OP apparently. True story.

If something happens and you die to a class they are instantly OP and you must cry on the forums about it.

Too funny.

Necro is too stronk, that’s why everyone’s running multiple Necros in tourneys.

I would like to see the Phantom Hood make a return to the gemstore!

Moonlit.6421:

Lol and people are shocked when they hear I have 23 and can’t believe it. Fashion Wars 2 <3

Me too. I think i’m up to 22 Level 80s now… can’t stop the train, choo choo!

Grind?

Try the original Everquest if you want to see real grind.

This is a walk in the park.

It’s disappointing at the moment, because even if you’ve played well you still lose time and time again – It just seems that often your effort and/or performance have no bearing on the outcome of the match, which is a little disappointing imo.

gin.7158:

you’ve got to be kidding me ha3… If they buff MM necro even more, I will faceroll solo queue at PVP.

This is the problem I run into. MM necro (especially geared with soldier) is all but unbeatable in 1-vs-1 even if paired against their moa nemesis mesmer or engie.

I main necro and love necro and have been forced to the dark side of mm necro since I basically only have 25 minutes of free time day—-at most, sometimes less.

Anyway, I hope the devs up base necro more than mm necro.

Pretty much this…

Personally I think Minion Masters are cancer in PvP…

Whining about spectral armour with all the other rubbish in the game… unbelievable.

Let me guess – no nerfs for your preferred profession?

On SoS we’re having some great fights with TC at the moment, but we have a solid OCX force… not sure about our NA brothers…

Thieves have many important roles in WvW… scouting, finishing downed players, hitting the blackline and sharing venoms with Necros and Eles. We have some awesome thieves in our zerg.

19 Level 80s… I make a new one for each spec.

Eg, my 4 Necros;

- Dagger/Warhorn Wellbomber
- Condi Necro
- Minion Master
- Axe/Focus Healing Build with Transfusion

Will make a new one for Reaper.

This is something i would like to see.

Necros are currently lacking a decent ranged power option.

If we take Reaper Shroud, where is our ranged pressure coming from?

We already have enough limitations attached to the class; mobility, CC, focus fire

We don’t need any more limitations imo.

Cheers

There are a heap of things like this in WvW that need refining… if they enemy blob is big enough you can’t set foot near the wall … and you’ll get chain Mesmer pulled form halfway down the stairs, which is a real thing.

Love the pose! Lmao.

The OP has a completely valid point.

Great way to spend Saturday night – trying to log in for Guild raid for 4 hours.

I wouldn’t hold your breath.

Some of us DCed tonight and are unable to reconnect to the game at all.

The lag has been real all week, at times hitting 4 digits… max recorded was 4,888 ping.

Everyone walks off into the distance and then about 20-30 seconds later the game speeds up 10x and catches up to itself.

abc.5790:

Tired of teaming up with clueless people.

To me, it’s not about winning or losing – It’s about enjoyment.

I love nail biter matches with very close final scores and knowing that your solo queued pug team did their very best and played as a team. I don’t care if I lose those because the overall enjoyment is worth the wait.

Lately, instead of communicating about strategy on teamchat, I’d ask stuff like:

why are you double/triple capping?

why did you run away from a 2v2 on a point we just capped?

why did you run past a downed teammate w/o rezzing him only to run towards a 1v3 and die?

can you please stop zerging? why are 4 ppl chasing 1 thief?

can you please stop dying in 2 seconds?

this is no longer enjoyable. why am i here?

Pretty much this. I seem to be getting brand new players on my team versus 2-3 premades and some more experienced pugs. It’s about as fun as a bleeding nose watching your level 2 Ele camp earth attunement and die almost immediately to a strong breeze

2 days and the whines have started already… brilliant.

ArchonWing.9480:

I would like minis that are NOT visible to enemy players. The current situation prevents me from bothering with them at all, because I cannot use them during wvw, which is most of my playtime anyways.

Though personally, I think some of OP’s ideas should be made baseline to the game regardless.

This would be great. I’m currently not using minis because they can be seen through stealth in WvW, giving away the location of players when veil bombing etc.

Jay.7546:

WvW should create a line of weapon skins or gear based on WvW rank. Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Mithril are great rank titles but I’d like to have a shot at a Legendary maybe. An exclusive backpiece or weapon skin or unique piece of armor that can only be acquired in WvW and only available based on your rank.

PVP has the progression of stomps. Dragon being the top. So why not set us hardcore WvWers up with something people can’t buy or make anywhere else?

Yes. 1000 times yes.

I would like to see reward tracks like they have in PvP.

I spend more money in WvW thank i make out loot/champ bags (food, oils, siege etc)

I would put Guardian and Warrior ahead of Necro… Engi and Ranger behind Necro…

Camelot Unchained or Everquest Next

Yes please !!!!!

OCX in T2 is pretty decent – we manage to field a good size team to fight YB and FA.

Had some great fights… but hopefully SoS and FA can attract more players in other time-zones to compete with YB.

Just a flesh wound.3589:

What I would like is a system where you can merge two armors together and then be able to select the stats and runes from each whenever you want out of combat.

Merge Beserkers with X rune with Rampager with Y rune: get a gear that you can select either Beserkers or Rampager and either X or Y rune.

Merge that one with Celestial gear with Z rune and get a gear that you can select Beserkers or Rampager or Celestial and X, Y, or Z rune.

This would make the gear and crafting mats more valuable as people would be using them to merge gear together to gain more stat options without tying up inventory space.

I could get behind this.

Say i merge 5 types of ascended it would mean i could chose from the 5 different types depending on the game mode or scenario.

They could make it so that if you chose this option, the ascended armour becomes soul bound (or not) to the character to prevent just needing the 1 ascended armour across all characters of the same armour type.

And buy 6x of a rune type and imbue the armour with the rune type, making that rune set able to be selected from a drop down menu similar to PvP. I could imbue the armour with melandru, strength and perplexity runes and these would all be available from the drop-down menu.

I think this is necessary, because Death Shroud #1 is our only decent ranged power option.

If they fix Axe & Focus, then maybe this won’t be necessary, but we’re at a disadvantage without Deathshroud #1.

Fight Yaks Bend in it’s current iteration is too much to bare.

Mid fields siege, tower/keep camping, spawn camping and blobbing everywhere. 5 people trying to re-cap a keep get blobbed by 40…. no words.

My Comments

Greatsword – The Greatsword just seems to slow to be useful. Also, running full berserker and strength runes, the damage doesn’t seem all that great either. I seem to get higher DPS on my Guardian Greatsword and Hammer and they are functionally much better weapons.

I ran some PvP with the GS and had an incredibly difficult time. It seems objectively worse in every way than Guardian hammer – it may have the same attack speed, but at least with Guardian I have Judges Intervention so I can pre-cast my hammer attacks and leap into the fray.

I switched to my standard Necro power build and proceeded to dominate the next round.

I can’t see myself using this weapon unless there are some real improvements to usability.

Death’s Charge – pretty horrible in its current iteration – I’m constantly overshooting my targets.

The heal shout – it’s just bad.

Shouts in general – None of the shouts are decent enough to win a spot on my utility bar.

Reaper Shroud – just seems buggy… Lifeforce seems to deplete at an alarming rate even when out of combat.

There are a heap of improvements to be made here.

I can’t see a Reaper standing toe to toe with Guardians and Warriors in frontline WvW – the survivability is just not there and that leaves them in an awkward spot.

Yeah, GS is pretty horrid.

Tried it in WvW & some PvP. Dagger is so much better.

I even tried tagging mobs in a Cursed Shore PvE event… most died before i could even hit them.

Kidel.2057:

Chronomancer
Reaper
Swaps the old shroud with something way better.

Reaper Shroud removes Necro’s only viable ranged power option.

Necro’s lose Life Blast, Doom, Life Transfer and Dark Path – something way better? I’m not convinced. Sure, it’s fun and has reasonable DPS, but i think the loss of the above key skills is pretty hard to swallow.

F1 & F2 – able to use both with the same lifeforce pool?

Sign me up.

We currently have no ranged power weapon that works – Deathshroud 1 is our only viable ranged power option at this point. I’m surprised that they won’t be addressing this in HoT.

The greatsword is terrible… too slow and the pay-off is just not there.

The shouts are just not worth taking over the wells or spectral utilities.

The heal is really bad… like it could get worse than what we have? Really?

Reaper Shroud is great, but we give up any decent ranged attack in order to get access to it.

Unhappy camper.
