It has it’s draw backs. Not being able to scale conditions beyond 25. Distant handled by client rather than server making hacks possible. It looks good yes, but the game is actually crazy CPU reliant. If you don’t have intel, you will struggle.

What a nonsense statement.I have an Fx-8120 Oc’d at 4.6 and lag is non existant for me while i hear lots of intel users complain about lag where i never struggle.If you never actually used an amd to play this game…its best to not say those things because you couldnt be more wrong.

nerf hammer damage in pvp by 50%.

honestly it should NEVER be a viable zerker weapon, but currently i can spam out 3-4k’s with the thing.

it is a CC weapon, all of its traits are in a defensive tree,
it should not be a viable option for damage.
using hammer should be a choice to sacrifice damage to gain amazing CC.

It should do dmg..its the slowest ingame weapon,its already been nerfed hard..yet you guys keep screaming for more nerfs on hamm because youre unable to anticipate the SLOWEST ingame weapon.Its easy as hell to dodge.L2p.

MASSIVE lag spikes

in PvP

Posted by: Caedmon.6798

Caedmon.6798

I actually know a few guys that without using the below commandline they will lag like crazy.So try adding the command below to your commandline parameter from your Gw2 shortcut and add /Clientport 80 behind it.
If you don’t know how to, read below.


Navigate to your guild wars 2 folder,rightclick it and select Send to desktop.
Now you will have a shortcut of Gw2 on your desktop which you will use to add the commandline.

Rightclick the Gw2 shortcut ,click on the Shortcut tab and behind the Target, which will look something like “C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” you will add /Clientport 80.
_______________________________________________
So it will look like this ( Dont forget the space between the target and your command )

“C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” /Clientport 80

This will simply use Port 80 instead of w/e other ports they use for this game ( Ports that could be closed for you or restricted,meaning you will either dc or lag ) .Port 80 is always wide open,if port 80 is closed you can’t even browse the internet.

Forest of Niflhel kill stealing

in PvP

Posted by: Caedmon.6798

Caedmon.6798

Personally, I’m OK with how boss stealing works.

Just because a creature has spawned doesn’t mean you need to kill it. In fact, in a lot of high level games, you’ll see the creatures up for long amount of time without being attempted. Players understand the value of a kill, but they also appreciate the risk associated with the attempt.

Before you attempt a creature, you should ask yourself the following questions:

  • Where is the enemy team?
    • Talk with your team, or at the very least try to get a rough approximation of enemy player location by reading the mini-map. Also try to be cognizant of enemy respawn timers, as players will often times push to far point off of a respawn, setting themselves up for a perfect boss steal opportunity. On the flip side, watch the NPC mini-map icons for movement – if you see it move at all you know that the enemy team is attempting a kill.
  • Do I have the ability to safely secure this boss kill?
    • Often times you’ll see players with tanky builds or condition-based builds attempting to take creatures by themselves. There’s a good chance that if a burst spec’d enemy player comes across you while you’re fighting an NPC, they’re going to steal the kill.

At the end of the day, it really comes down to map awareness and risk assessment.

One thief can steal every boss waiting around in stealth.One hits the boss, he got it.. and he’s gone…yeah tactical play my kitten .

Hello frands! Vee Wee here, #1 Engi NA and world first rank 80!

Thanks for the reply Evan Lekittenhese are all good responses!

One thing my frand! Vee Wee wasn’t talking about voice emotes even though that is an interesting idea! Vee Wee was thinking more along the lines of fast chat menus!

Same feature. I would want voice emotes tied to the fast chat so people could hear them without having to always watch chat.

PS. What is a Lekittenhese.

Voice emotes working under a single button opening a Voice emote Radialmenu,aka bf2 or l4d2 would be so awesome.

Ceremonial Plated Outfit

I can’t stand this outfit at all. It’s way over the top and looks ridiculous. Far too frilly, persistent problem with the massive pauldrons, suitable for RP’ers and ppl who want to look like a palace guard npc. The assassins’ outfit i would consider buying, but ONLY because they released Belindas’ gs which matches it perfectly.

The shoulders are actually Way more in proportion compared to every other heavy armor out there,phalanx included.i used to always Hide my shoulders because of this,this is actually the first set with proper pauldrons,although still big…theyre not floating,and atleast it fits with the rest of the armour.Also we havnt had a proper armor set in about 2 years,so saying this armor is for rpers and people who want to look like a plastic guard is just an absurd thing to say.

I know i can be quite the pessimist when it comes to this game,but i have to be realistic aswell and say that i find this one of the best designed armours they have created so far…Especially the pauldrons for my heavy norn,theyre still big but theyre not clunky and theyre not floating.The overall design looks really well thought out and i love the detail youve created on it,it looks really regal.

I said in another thread that i wont spend another dime on anet again….Well,who’s the fool now ;p

I do wish it were seperate pieces though,would love to mix match this set up.

300 gold for a tag color is too much

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Caedmon.6798

Caedmon.6798

I think it’s good because now, not every hobo can just buy commander just because of status or whatever reasons they have.
People have to be more serious about it and reconsider if they really want that commander tag.

Guilds that do a lot of wvw or organized pve content will be able to get the gold for their commanders pretty fast.

Why do you even care who buys a tag ? You see soon enough if the comm is worth following or not,100G was a reasonable price,300g is Way over the top.Let me tell you,a Proper WvW commander Does not farm,Does not do dungeons,Does not do fractals,Does not pve,and Does not do world bosses because he spends all of his time in wvw.Then he has to buy the crap loads of sieges,is usually spending lots of money on upgrades,and he has to be stacked on food constantly which all together becomes pretty kitten expensive and makes it a near impossible task for a “Proper” wvw comm to buy that 300g tag..everyone that only plays wvw knows how hard it is to gain gold.

Im not talking about your average pve comm,the wrong people are being hurt by this ridiculous price.

Why doesn't Anet tell us their plans

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Caedmon.6798

Caedmon.6798

ANet was originally very open about their development, but the vocal negative minority of the community crushed that and forced ANet to be more selective with what they release to the public.

Dev Player communication is a two way street of respect, the community dropped the ball early on and now we have to deal with the consequences of that.

They also have to be quiet for legal reasons too. They can’t promise something until it’s almost time for release.

As for Dev / Player communication, just thank God that we’re not in Japan .I’ve seen fans from Japan have meltdowns when a game is not living up to expectation. What we’re seeing on this forum isn’t all that bad. The community here is alot more tame.

In the US, everything from fast food to medical has its share of complainers. I’ve experienced alot of this and worse in my working life. If everyone quit because of a complaint, the US wouldn’t be operating right now.

Here’s the positive way to look at this game’s situation: If people really hated this game, they would of left by now.

Theyve made lots of promises in the past that they couldn’t make true.Also they dont even have to promise,this is about simple communication in which case ive seen f2p mmo’s handle it better and more openly,actively engaging in conversations with the community to improve the game… ( Hint hint, FF Online ,Naoki Yoshida etc)

Also i think one of the Major reasons that people wont leave is because of other people they know ingame .Ive asked multiple persons,why do you still play ? It all comes down to…Because of the people i still know in this game.

HUH? Siege Disabler that disables enemy siege

in WvW

Posted by: Caedmon.6798

Caedmon.6798

All that raging, and that “I don’t like it, so it is stupid” reasoning …

This is a change, and of course it will affect the gameplay. What’s the point of a change that doesn’t ? It will introduce new ways of playing & strategies. People will have to learn to reflect those, spread siege ; scouts will be made more useful an actually able to try and keep their tower while waiting for assistance ; being able to use loads of rams to reset a T3 tower in a matter of seconds while the enemy is away will not be a 100% successful strategy anymore (and it’s a good thing. Odd we never saw people complaining on how ram stacking is OP ?) ; unlike what you say the use of this will not be infinite, because of the supply cost (I see messages about "resupply the tower/rinse/repeat to defend it for a long time while allies are coming back. Are you serious ? How do you resupply a tower while an enemy zerg is at the door ? A single guy throwing several of these on spread catapults will need to use the supply of the tower !)

So before coming here, cry, and call dev stupids, please try to think a bit more about all the consequences of this addition, both good and bad ; and wait to see how it behaves IG after a few weeks of people adapting strategies.

The most incredible part about you guys, is that when things are done, that don’t really change ho WvW works, you all complain on how Anet doesn’t care about WvW. When something is done, that may actually shift the meta of WvW gameplay, you all come here and cry about how it … is a change.

A proper change is a new map,new sieges,something changed to the environment of a current map Etc.Adding a Siegetrap that completely kittens up a small scale squad is Horrible,especially when you think about it.If all you do is follow the zerg like a sheep you probably can;t even comprehend how terrible this really is.Before you come and cry about people crying you should start to realize how hard it can be for small scale groups to already get things done,which will be nearly impossible now with a 45 sec siege breaker and 1 or 2 people inside.

The thing for me is,i would only like them being applied to asurans.I have no problems with other races.This is being implemented because people kept complaining ( for valid reasons ) about the asuran size and it’s animations being almost invisible.I don’t want Every other race to look as humans though,just the asurans..

Defiant Stance, reduce the visual cue on it.

in Warrior

Posted by: Caedmon.6798

Caedmon.6798

Then still people will look at your icon/buff bar and see the defiant stance icon up and simply stop hitting you.Defiant only has a place in zerging where people wont notice you popping defiant,it just has no place in pvp or small scale stuff since people with 2 working eyes will simply stop hitting you when they see the icon.Removing the aura won’t change a thing,same for making the dmg numbers appear red.
Unless they completely remove the icon from showing when you pop defiant,so you will still get the aura but just no defiant icon..making it harder for people to see when you actually pop the skill unless they give you a few hits and see you’re gaining hp.

Don’t run them into deathtraps.
Make sure you know what you’re gonna do is gonna be succesfull,dont keep trying things that keep failing over and over.
Dont be a kittenbag.
If something goes wrong,blame yourself not the people ( unless it’s Really their fault..not stacking,not listening etc ) In Which case,explain what went wrong and explain how they could improve it next time.
Before you move out,explain what you expect from the people following you.
Show them you know your stuff.
Make use of the terrain when fighting zergs.
Dont go head on in another zerg,use tactics. ( Ports,veils,flanking,fake moves,act like you’re running away..Let a mesmer throw a veil and turn around )
Make sure people have fun,dont be overly serious,it’s still just a game.
If you use TS…dont scream…dont talk like you’re an auctioneer ( It’s just annoying for others,and it’s not needed )..be calm and collective.
Dont complain about other commanders,offer help instead.
Keep asking for reports. ( zerg locations )
Keep asking for people to defend camps.
Keep asking for people to refresh sieges and to scout towers
Best one…NEVER RAGE,whatever happens.

in Warrior

Posted by: Caedmon.6798

Caedmon.6798

it sounds like you will just need to use more cc skills to make sure your not wasting your burst skills and run less stances and maybe use other options to clear conditions

more importantly the change to the banner #4 that remove cripple and chill should it not also remove immobilize. It kinda pointless to remove chill and cripple if your immobilized

the changes to rampage …
the condition reduction is more or less fine just that its almost making the skill have no counterplay
the reduced damage however is it really necessary they already get increased toughness and increased health. large concern here because it essentially could make a zerker warrior a tanky warrior for 20 second with good movement speed
I think the rampage skill is fine (maybe it isn’t I don’t know) but won’t be use until it is overpowered

Well said,and imo they would have needed to increase the general dmg output from rampager form.Lich form atm is 3 – 5k each hit with a 30 sec stabi uptime.When a warrior and a nec would 1vs1 and both pop their elite at the same time..Rampager Vs Lich..Who would win? I think the answer is quite kitten obvious.Every skill from rampager is Useless unless youre spamming 1 Vs a Lichform.And then you have the issue of who has more dmg output ? It clearly still is the necro,and that just..does not make any sense at all.

one enemy with retal is no biggie. Its when you get many enemies that it really hurts. 24-28k HP – 15 strikes X 350-500 retal damage = 5-9k damage at MAX.

myself i prefer the following rotation: Eviscerate – shield bash – Rage Signet – Flurry – whirling axes – final strike.

In most cases, people die from that.

I’m sorry but in the time you get off a full whirling axe sword autos would already of dealt more damage. You can get off 8 sword auto attacks. Whirling Axes is terrible against single targets. You only see great damage if you are hitting more than 3 people constantly, that is, if you aren’t getting wrecked by retaliation. And it is good for whirling combo fields.

Exactly this..and now you will able to kill yourself faster on retal since offhand 5 having a shorter cd…yet retal being unchanged.anet..its just…They do not have a clue when it comes to balancing skills out,they just don’t.

2 Greens for Rank 1000... seriously?

in WvW

Posted by: Caedmon.6798

Caedmon.6798

How about sticking to the subject at hand, please?

I don’t understand why you think I posted out of the topic.

He complained “Why, after so much time to get to rank 1000, I’m not rewarded with somenthing big?”.
And I said “Look dude, I’m in a rank much higher than yours and barely received anything useful along the way. But it doesn’t bother me because I know it’s super easy to farm wxp thanks to EotM K-train, which mean that some people wouldn’t go through all the trouble that we go to get these rewards by doing regular wvw”.

This is Not about Eotm solely.As more it’s about WvW and the lack of significant rewards that don’t scale based on your progress.Like someone else also said,we have stupid titles around for basically everything…But look at WvW ( I think a year back or longer they actually said they were gonna adress this since the achievs from wvw are whack and dont make sense ) But offcourse,nothing has happend,anet is alot of talk and promises without ever backing that talk up with actions.You would expect a nice title when you hit a rank as high as 1000,you would expect a Proper reward Based on Progression ( we dont care about “Random” loot you can find anywhere else ) that’s more of significance,a “Unique” skin ( Not the tourney crap that everyone else is wearing ) only to be earned when reaching such a rank.Etc etc etc….
This is not about cashing in a large amount of loot in a short amount of time in eotm by going from champ to champ with the pve train,i dont even consider eotm to be part of wvw at all,its a pve/pvp playground where people tend to do more pve anyways..But this is about WvW and the Lack of proper rewards.

Same. Plus, I can’t tell you how many 4v5’s I’ve won because a few guys on my team decided to go into beast mode. I can understand quitting if the match is just very lopsided, but I never stop from the beginning. I was in a 4v5 team arena match the other day and we lost 495-500. Now that was some intense fun!

Exactly,it forces me to work even harder..and i know it is possible to win 4vs5.Just ive seen it happen lots of times that when its 4vs5 i get another random guy in my team that basically thinks screw it..all im gonna do is moan and whine now and kitten about anet and go afk aswell so its 3vs5.

There’s no more solo roaming,small scale stuff ( a thing i loved to be doing ),zergs are getting bitter and tactics have dissapeared.Its just zerg to this tower,throw 5 sup rams with as many people as possible and if it fails we go to another tower…Its mindless now opposed to how it used to was in the first year.

2 Greens for Rank 1000... seriously?

in WvW

Posted by: Caedmon.6798

Caedmon.6798

If ranks were actually difficult or worthwhile to try to obtain…then sure.

I see that EotM minimap and…its basically free loot for filling a bar, for running around capping things which gives more free loot, while zerging mobs that give free loot….in a zone build for free clockwise free loot…

Wait a second….

I want better gameplay, not more effing handouts, this is laughable to complain about really.

You clearly don’t understand the issue at hand,which is completing a task that takes Months to complete ( Talking WvW,not the pve champtrain thats called Eotm ) and his reward for doing this was 2 greens.When completing such tasks the reward should be of more significance and not based on RNG random drops you can find anywhere else.Every other Mmo out there understands this,Anet on the other hand does not and keeps handing out rewards,simple or hard based on RNG,and you might end up getting nothing but greens.You might end up getting a better reward for something that takes 30m to complete opposed to what the OP described..a thing that takes months to complete and end up with..a green,which is simply wrong.

You clearly didn’t understand what I said then. Getting X rank is not a task, it is something that progresses naturally by completing other smaller tasks. These smaller tasks provide loot, and after completing several of these tasks (did I mention they give loot?) you get extra loot because a little bar filled.

People complaining about this, cannot possibly know how to weigh reward to effort, they value their time far more than they value their capabilities, that is the fundamental flaw with the reward system.

If Ranks had some challenge, or feat of skill involved…like I said in my post, sure, the rewards should be better….but its extra loot on top of loot you get for completing things that add to that blue bar….that is it.

I do understood you,but you clearly didn’t understood a word i said.It’s about the time invested in getting such a high rank,same goes for spvp.Getting a green drop when you get to rank 1000 is wrong on so many levels,when you get the same kind of loot from hitting a Moa in randomland.

Advice/tweaking for pure range build

in Warrior

Posted by: Caedmon.6798

Caedmon.6798

Double range..So what will happen when you get jumped by a thief or rather by 2 people, one up in your face while the other is kitting ?..You can knock him back once with rifle maybe..and when he backstabs you again while the other guy is laying constant dps on you ? Youre pretty much screwed right there.You cannot lay on constant dps with double range with a warr if someone is right in your face and running around you in circles,you will cancle out Every rifle skill and are stuck with throwing aoe’s from bow on the ground,in which case you will be using one weap and the other weap is rendered completely useless at this time.I know what youre trying to do,but it won’t work in most scenarios..It will prob do fine vs range classes,but in WvW all you spot ( When roamin atleast ) are lots and lots and lots of thieves where a double range build would be quite useless.

Besides you have your trait set up using warriors sprint while you do not have any melee weapons equipped…meaning the trait is completely useless and will not add the provided speed bonus.The traits overall are just not really well setup for a double range build…i’d suggest to rethink your entire build and traitsetup ( youre not even using stability..at all which is quite bad,you need stabi if you want to be useful ) )and maybe drop one of the range weapons for a melee weap just incase,i’d suggest to drop rifle if you do.

2 Greens for Rank 1000... seriously?

If ranks were actually difficult or worthwhile to try to obtain…then sure.

I see that EotM minimap and…its basically free loot for filling a bar, for running around capping things which gives more free loot, while zerging mobs that give free loot….in a zone build for free clockwise free loot…

Wait a second….

I want better gameplay, not more effing handouts, this is laughable to complain about really.

You clearly don’t understand the issue at hand,which is completing a task that takes Months to complete ( Talking WvW,not the pve champtrain thats called Eotm ) and his reward for doing this was 2 greens.When completing such tasks the reward should be of more significance and not based on RNG random drops you can find anywhere else.Every other Mmo out there understands this,Anet on the other hand does not and keeps handing out rewards,simple or hard based on RNG,and you might end up getting nothing but greens.You might end up getting a better reward for something that takes 30m to complete opposed to what the OP described..a thing that takes months to complete and end up with..a green,which is simply wrong.

Does WvW feel fresh or stale to you?

Cba about a poll,What will it do ? Absolutely nothing,anet doesnt give a kitten about wvw,ive accepted that some time ago.

Maybe they find it interesting to get an idea why their wow player base is shrinking

They know that for around 1.5 year of people complaining in the forum about wvw and wanting to see new things.It aint gonna happen,im really not optimistic anymore when it comes to anet and wvw,hell..i barely still even go there…been weeks for me.

It’s obviously not a surprise, it was expected after all.
But still I must hallucinate: is this a joke?

Impossible achievements in WvW but no achievements at all for reaching rank 1000. A title for playing bletcher’s bluff but no title for 1000 WvW ranks.

Random chest rewards, and nothing to rewards effort. These should scale with rank, or we should have special chests at specific rank numbers.

Not that I care anymore, but you have to admit it’s totally broken.

Don’t you feel like youve totally accomplished something now ? 1000 ranks and 2 greens as a reward…Only anet.

Say hello to the downed system where every 1vsx becomes a pain in the kitten because of it.Ive had it happen that i was fighting a ranger + a guard and downed them both 3x because i was unable to finish them due to no more stabi left,and getting pushed back by the ranger and knocked back by the guard when trying to finish ( also bubbled on the downed ranger ).Downing 2 people 3x in One fight…this game is Way to forgiving,the downed system is way to forgiving.People getting carried by it and you make yourself a sitting duck trying to finish someone off at times.And yes ressing people with skills like mistform,elixer s etc should just be disallowed to do so.Imo they need to rework,or nerf the complete downed system and start off by giving people 50% less hp when theyre downed.

Why is this even allowed?

Thats like the easiest skill to evade really..unless he’s using frenzy,in which case you will still see him kneel down and aiming his rifle.Unless he’s sniping behind 5 – 10 other guys…its understandable youl get hit.But in every other case if you see a warrior kneel down..get ready to dodge,block,or use an invulnerability

How about the " I win" elite..Give them 30 sec of stability while hitting 1111111 does 3 – 5k dmg each hit…Oh wait ?

Where are the good looking weapons/armors?

Oh dear these threads. People have really never played the average MMO, both lately or beforehand. I swear you folk really have no idea how much variety you have, and how much of an amusing complaint Guild Wars 2 “lacking” in skins of all things is.
There is a myriad of things you can complain about, but this is the least one you could possibly bring up as an issue. Seriously. I am not even exaggerating. You folk need to educate yourselves in how the average MMORPG works in these terms so you can realize how much of a boon Guild Wars 2 is when it comes to customization. It’ll be good for -you-, not anyone else.

You should learn to understand that different people have different opinions.Ive played dozens and dozens of mmo’s ,perhaps even more than you have.I simply dislike most of the Bulky oversized heavy armors in this game,same goes for alot of weapon designs aswell.Its an opinion,same goes for the op,get it in your thick skull without trying to tell people to “educate” themselves for having a kitten opinion that differs from yours.

@Proto,whats your point ? I know tastes are different,hence i gave my opinion about it.Glad that you like oversized pauldrons that don’t even connect to your shoulders,to each their own…..
