Guild Wars 2

Ive still managed to kill a thief with full hp from downed state when fighting underwater post nerf.

Its the animation bug that really annoys me, probably never getting fixed.

You blink while running and 50% of the time, after blinking, your moving but sliding along the ground liike your stood still.

Ive played phantasm, shatter and condition. Even though I can still win with the confusion nerf, its just isnt as good as a shatter build anymore.

So if Arenet dont bring confusion back to 75%, or do something else to help conditions I expect shatter build to be nerfed quite a bit to bring it on par with condition build.

The only positive from this is now there will be less mesmers about because most players cant play it.

The confusion nerf itself isnt really the issue. The problem created now is the condition mesmer is now crappy compared to a shatter build, Even when I used to run a shatter build with high 2900 toughness I could kill so much faster.

If you try to use confusion against intelligent players then your confusion now hardly makes a dent becuase he stops attacking after the first hit, so your left with your conditions which are basically pretty bad compared to other condition classes.

The only players that died quickly before the nerf where those noobs that kept attacking till they died.

I’ve spent months getting my full ascended gear for my condition build. Now I’m getting nerfed? I won’t bother wasting months to build up ascended gear just to get nerfed again by whiners! Good enough reason to quit alltogether.

I can show you a video how an invader can just stand there or run away from me without needing to do anything because condition alone is sux when the invader doesn’t do anything. A confusion nerf and retaliation nerf is massive nerf for my thief counter build.

Not to mention its gonna take me too long to kill 1 NPC sentry now that its just not worth bothering with.

Ok let’s look at several scenarios with your theory:

1) The ‘leaver’ has left before the match even started, so he left during the 2 minute pre-window. In this instance he left for reasons other than “we’re losing (bad) so I’m out”. Not only did he leave, but he closed the game. Barring him from pvping for 30 mins accomplishes nothing.

Players leaving before the match has started is not an issue so why mention it?? From my experience, a player has always filled the last spot in the 10 second countdown before the gate opens.

2) Someone leaves mid-match because their team is losing. They literally have to close the game to ‘exit’ or leave the match. The chances you’ll see them back in a tourney after the match or before this 30 min timer is lifted is unlikely so it realistically accomplishes nothing.

You must have a mega slow computer! It take me 60 seconds to load back into HOTM from the desktop. So 30 mins of not being able to queue for a new tourny WILL have an effect. Make it 60 mins then, I dont care, i dont quit!

~ Now I have to make assumptions about your rules: if someone’s net goes out temporarily and they come back to help finish does this count as a 30-min bar from pvp? No? Then what if someone rage-leaves and opens the game back up before the match finishes? Does that mean they’ll be exempt from the 30-min bar?

Yes! If someone disconnects because of there net then thats just unlucky. 30 mins aint gonna make any difference to him unless hes disconnecting every hour, in that case I wouldn’t even bother playing online games till my internet was fixed.

TBH I dont care about the leavers stats. I am more concerned how this ‘leaver’ has now affected everyone elses fun and giving everyone a nearly guaranteed loss.

Only solution is lock out the leaver from joining another match for 30 mins.
If the leaver does it 5 times in 1 day then he should be locked out for 24hours.
The players left with only 4 on their team shouldnt count as a loss if they lose.

The Revealed was there to stop cloak and dagger to instantly stealth again which was making it virtually impossible to target a theif and do damage or stun them.

Now that has been fixed I really dont see a problem with killing theifs. If you cant stun or damage a thief in 3 secs then this game is maybe too fast paced for you :/

First lets compare the descriptions between Chaos Armour & Chaos Storm:

Chaos Armour:
Give yourself random boons and your foe random conditions whenever you are struck.
Chaos Storm:
…that applies random conditions to foes and boons to allies.

So firstly the term random doesn’t apply to boons for allies using Chaos Storm, yet it does give random boons.

Secondly,
Each boon just refreshes back to 3.5secs if you get 2 of the same one. It’s possible to get 3 boons of the same kind so you lose out. i.e if you get 3 swiftness you in fact gain maybe 4 seconds of total swiftness and miss out on 2 other 3.5 secs of other boons you could have had.

The other issue is purely situational:
Lets say you want swiftness to proc: if it doesnt come up straight away you have to stand and wait until it does to gain 3.5secs. That isnt worth it as you have to stand still when you could have been further if you just kept running.

So the way Chaos Storm works is just broken.

Chaos Storm should, like its description, give 1 of each of the 3 boons(Swiftness,Aegis, Retalition) in that order with swiftness always being the 1st. It should not give any more boons after that (even thought atm its possible to get 4 random boons but still useless)

Please fix this.

OMG I was thinking if they have made some ninja nerfs becuase my mesmer doesnt feel as tough anymore. for the 1st time ever I got killed by a ranger in a 1 vs 1. That has never happened, even with 2900 armour my HP just disapeared and i cudnt get his HP down. I new something must have changed.

I so hate ninja nerfs!

Problem with WvW is everything is static. Attacking the same tower on another map is exactly the same and repetative.

We need to allow players to create random elements like covering an area with oil to create fire walls, build traps, build wooden defensive positions with fences anywhere on the map to use as scout positons or to protect siege.

Also….

I want to enable fast ground targetting but I cant because I have problems seeing my mouse pointer quick enough when your fighting. I would like to have the option to change the size and/or color of the mouse pointer.

Exotics and Masterwork are too similiar. Every time I want to clear out my inventory I have to mouseover and read it before I can click sell. I have sold exotics in the past by mistake so now im more careful but takes much longer to clear out my inventory.

WvW. The green icons and neutral icons like for npc camps, weather machine, look the same. I have gone to an NPC camp, thinking it was neutral, only to find out that my team (green) already owned it.

This topic should be about Prestine relics. All you can buy is rings and I already have a dozen rings from drops so now I have prestine fractals and nothing to spend them on.

We really need daily tournaments that solo players can do by themselves. GW had it in the form of hero battles and that kept me playing GW for a long time.

GW2 doesn’t have anything where you can put your individual skill up against another player.

ATM I have resorted to roaming WvW and finding players to duel, which is mostly always spoiled by other players jumping in. Its getting to frustrating to even bother to continue anymore.

1) This game really needs a duel option!

OR better still

2) A daily 1 vs 1 knockout tournament.

There isnt enough pvp tournaments in this game. GW had lots!

I joined a fractal group and got to the last fractal boss. I then got kicked because I told the party leader,who was giving the orders, that his way was too slow and should do it another way. I then got kicked.

At this point I normally add players to my block list so I dont party with them again but because the party chat history is no longer visible when you leave a party I couldnt do anything about it as I couldnt remember player names.

We need party chat history to stay visible after you have been kicked/left a party!

The only reason I use food in WvW is because the other guys is. So to compete I feel I need to waste silver on buying food.

Getting rid of all consumables is a good way to save me money.

Lorelei.3918:

I agree. Last night me and a guildie were talking about this. I was like “Woah no wonder we are losing there is like 20 people in here!”. There really was, there were so many dots it was like a ant farm.

You failed to mention that while your server has 20 people in there so do the other servers! So whether there is a JP or not the balance of sides actually doing WvW remains the same.

So the argument of a JP affecting WvW is completly invalid! Since all servers are doing the JP not just yours!
