Well i’m running in 5:4 and i Play mostly LOL and don’t need much, + i cover the “official” system requirements
Covering Minimum requirements only means that Yes you can play the game,but at the lowest possible settings,and you can still expect to lag.It basically just means..the game will run,and thats about it.
To quickly recap what you have all been saying, it looks like there are two significant groups that think they have the best solution to this issue.
The first being to scale all of the asuras up to be larger and scale down the charr and norn. The second is to turn everyone in the match into a human.
I think that there are a few things worth mentioning. The ‘generic humans from WvW’ are not like other character models in the game. They have a smaller animation set which would be unable to properly display all animations, which is exactly what the original problem is. The other thing to note is that with SAB the scaling did not make all races the same height.
Hopefully this provides some insight and can help drive discussion on more viable potential solutions.
Whatever you do,do not touch the size of humans/norns.Asurans are the issue at hand here.Increase their smallest size to the current asuran largest size.
It is getting out of hand,anet should deal with this more aggresive imo.My blocklist is filling up with about 15goldsellers a day if not more.Thats 105 people added to my blocklist every week if this continues.
If your processor has hyper-threading (why you see 8 cores when you have a quad core processor), you should unpark them. I doubt you see a noticeable performance gain while playing, but I did notice a marked shorter zone load times (after the first log in….that is still pretty long). Might just be my imagination.
I warn anyone against using those parking tools….everyone I tried to use had malware connected to either downloading or installing them….editing the registry is not that big a deal.
There is no malware inside this tool,please dont spread disinfo.
I disagree… I have a suspicion that those who think it is not balanced are warriors…
so used to being near indestructible on land that they start to cry when they get beat in underwater battles… just like warriors in spvp cry about op mesmers.
As a mesmer I used to win literally every single underwater encounter I engaged in – never once lost underwater… the only class that could give me any sort of problem were rangers and that was because their pets could heal faster than I could cause damage when they were in downstate.
NOW… I have fairly even fights with necros, eles, guardians, engineers, and rangers. It really is touch and go on who will win. The balance is much better than on land.
Even warriors could win underwater if they bothered to learn how to fight but the majority are that used to just running through enemies as near invincible as you can get in the game, that they know very little about positioning, skill use, dodging, escaping, in/out attacking… movement in general.
On land I have a 30-40% chance of skill failure… underwater most of the time my skills work… sometimes I will have skill failure but it is not as often as on land.
How do you even manage to turn a WvW underwater Thread into a QQ about warriors ? I know people from Multiple classes that dislike underwater combat,your comment is completely irrelevant on that part.
Until they remove the downed state underwater or figure out some form of an underwater stomp, no thanks. Even if they do make that change, they will need to rebalance the skills since as others have pointed out underwater combat is incredibly lopsided.
underwater combat skills are more balanced than on land skills. They were rebalanced ages ago… before a mesmer was undefeatable underwater but has not been like that for some time now.
The problem is not skill balance… the problem is people do not know how to fight underwater.
Underwater fights Are unbalanced,I think you never fought a bunker underwater yet.Why do you think Raid on the capricorn got removed ? Its not because people dont know How to fight,its just an unbalanced mess,Plus i dont even find it fun to fight underwater …at all.Like most others i know they rather avoid it.
It is Highly recommended to unpark your cores,here is a great tool that will unpark them for you without having to mess with your registry.You can revert the settings back aswell,theres absolutely no danger in doing so.
Axe warriors are easy. You already know their main goal will be to land eviscerate. That makes it incredibly easy to stop them. Always save 1 extra dodge or block, because it will come. Its just a matter of when. If youre watching for the eviscerate (you should be) axe warriors fall apart
Shield bash – Evis..Have fun trying to dodge it.You will either dodge Shield bash,and if its your last dodge available,you will not dodge Evis.And if shield bash lands,evis will also land.
i am a con/regen ranger and in pvp i was defending sky hammer. this warrior comes in i didn’t even move i just spammed axe 1 and torch. and he was hitting me with a great sword and he was hardly doing any damage while his hp just kept dropping.never beat a warrior that easy.. i was wondering what kind of build was this guy using just found it a little odd
You beat a new player,want a pat on the back now ?
Gandara won by double teaming as they did with piken,and as they do with gh,if they didnt kept playing so cheap we would have beaten gandara again.But they like to hold hands with other servers…and then Still get steamrolled allover the place,like yesterday in EB…that was just an embarrassing display.Kinda funny actually.
This is funny, because if I was given 1 gold coin for each time I seen a Gandaran pug zerg, with the commander spamming map chat for people to get on TS (because most aren’t) wiping the floor with guild groups I’d have bought myself an eternity by now.
Why would Gandara need to double team when pug groups are slaughtering other servers guild groups? Lawl
Lol get your facts straight,its what you guys do..Denying it doesnt make it any less true.Like i said,im having fun eventhough youre double teaming hard,i dont care though..Much loot and much laughs~!

If you don’t like to be losing,you should stop playing Pvp eventhough the current meta is horrible.Afking makes it worse for every member in your team and you will get a bad rep for doing so.
Bad idea,although i never buy keys myself you do have to remember Anet needs an income.And there are people that do spend money on keys,to everyone their own.But they shouldnt be dropping for free like that.
I have to take back my previous comment.I understood at first they were only obtainable through the BLC chests,this is not true.You can simply buy them with gold aswell from the broker,wich is imo fine and i already got myself an axe.
Atleast be Fair and dont act like all warrs have a standard 4 ( Its 5 sec btw ) weap swap cd.They Trait for it,meaning they will have to give up something else in order to achieve this…It’s a bad idea,and would make things even more unbalanced as they currently are,for obvious reasons.
Pretty dissapointed when i found out they are only obtainable through BLC chests….. As of now,i wont be spending a dime on them since i have to be buying keys,and since thats not a 100% chance of getting a weap,i won’t do it.If they were however placed in the blc store for 600 -800 gems each…I would buy atleast 3 weapons.I’’m wondering how many people are actively buying up keys now and how much more profit anet will make compared to when they would be in the blc store for a fixed price.Im honestly dissapointed to see anet going this road again.
I just relogged to dl/install the new patch..But i’m greeted with an instant Ntdll.dll error.Mind you ive just restarted Gw2 to install this patch and everything was working just fine before i did so.Anyone else with the same issue,or is it me ?
Edit:I removed local.dat and the Gw2 temp folder, pasted the -repair command behind the commandline parameter aswell but it’s still the same.
Edit again: Nvm it’s fixed,i was using UseLargePage for Gw2,but disabling it fixed my issue and is now dling the patch.
Ignore it,you won,he’s mad that you won…so youre obviously a hacker or some sort.Take it as a compliment really,you beat the hell out of him probably and he cant deal with it.
Berserk is 8 or 10 sec when traited with a 60 sec cd.Endure pain is a 4 sec duration with a 60 sec cd,it’s fairly easy to see berserk or ep up and holding off with blasting condi’s or putting on normal dmg untill the duration is over and then you have 50+ sec to go at it.Other then that they “can” have 3 sources of stabi when using Dolyak,balanced stance and traited for stabi,but that’s only a pain if your build is made for stunning or knocking down.
I do like the idea in general though,its better than it currently is by a mile.But i dont know how it would work out in practice,i think people that actually want to “play” instead of doing it for rewards only would get rather upset being disabled to play.
I remember DESO and AM being pro at that with their 60 man blob against a handful of people camping a keep all day long in EB spawcamping with trebs and bali’s and kittenloads of ac’s,it makes them feel good !
What youve shown now is nothing compared to what was happening at our server.
In all honesty,yes it’s pathetic..Nothing to do against besides gathering up more people to deal with them.
What if that particular player gets to play 3 matches while he randomly gets disabled to spawn in all 3 matches because the other team only has 4 people ?
Thanks alot for the quick reply mate,ill send him the link right away.Not owning a ranger myself and have little clue about the class and a right setup so i couldn’t really help him besides googling some stuff,anyways appreciate it alot !
Hey all,i could use some help making a nice build for a friend of mine who’s a bit older then most of the players i reckon,over 40.Its a casual player who does like to WvW alot,but if so its in a zerg usually,most of the time he’s pveing nonetheless.His primary weapons are Longbow/ Axe/Axe and he would like to remain playing with this setup but alot of things have changed since the latest patch and i was wondering if any ranger here that knows his stuff could quickly assemble a nice WvW/Pve build for his current longbow/axe/axe ?
I am personally against personal dueling. But if it is restricted to HotM or some specific areas in the cities or open world (an arena for every map) or otherwise organized so that it is not possible to add another trolling possibility: then by all means, go for it, ArenaNet. After you fixed bugs, reworked the commander system in wvw, made boss fights more interesting and did all the other things which you mentioned that you are working upon, of course.
Now that we have megaservers it may even be possible to spawn maps where everything goes – of course only if you actively select “put me into map instances where dueling is allowed” in options or whatever.
A Toggle that will let you decide if you want to be invited to be dueled yes or no,would fix all of these issues. But some of you try to come up with the most complicated fixes while all you need is an..“Yes i want to be invited to be dueled” or a “No i do not want to be invited for a duel”.You cannot ever be trolled if you put the toggle at “No duel invites”.
You people make it harder then it really is.
… I don’t even use Kill Shot, prefering to let my Adrenaline power passive abilities…
And, I’m going to derail my own thread – after switching from gun to longbow, I’ve found bow to be much more FUN than rifle, in addition to more effective… though I do miss the autoattack condition damage and bleeds. But explosions and fire make up for that… sort of.
If your crit is high enough you can still bleed them with autoattacks if you put a sigil of earth on your bow.
Im all for dueling,but for the people that do not like to be spammed to death for a duel there should be a toggle to disable being invited for a duel.I can imagine pvers at champ events being spammed to duel accidently accepting and then dying in the process.So if they ever introduce it,its a Must to have a toggle for it.
Maybe not only Asian composers, we already have nice ones in Europe.
Kai Rosenkratz (The one responsible for Gothic 1-3 spundtracks) is a true master of ambient music. You can search for his work done for Gothic series and listen to it in any RPG basicly. His music is very subtle and fits everywhere. Who said that we have to have songs?
Another example would be trio of Pawe? B?aszczak, Adam Skorupa and Krzysztof Wierzynkiewicz. They’ve made the best soundtracks for the Witcher series. Their music can be very, outstandingly atmospheric and dark, creepy. Songs from the first game are masterpieces. They’re not “terror” music, but build such climat that you want to look behind after every three steps and follow the road.
Oh man i forgot about the witcher,that music is enchanting.
Do any of the UW WvW guilds.. ( if still present…) try to bring in new people from servers to help revive Uw again ?
I can remember FSP being in this exact same position last year,while not as bad as UW currently is doing we were lacking people throughout the entire day and got stomped by servers that shouldn;t have been able to stomp us at all.People started making recruitment posts and things started to turn around,we got some of the bigger guilds to our server like Votf,Vcy,XxX etc.
Its not to late too revive UW if people are willing to put in some effort and try to get some guilds from other servers over,or even start making new WvW guilds and start trying to drag people away from pve into WvW.I would love to face a proper UW server again.I can still remember the days of FSP vs UW on a weekly base being some of the best times ive ever had in WvW.
Some1 faced the almighty 30/30/30/30/30 build, srsly the amount of misinformation is ridiculous.
evade/blind/stealth/port spam in 1 build is impossible.
you get evade/port on s/d. the only blind in this build is infiltrator arrow on sb, not spamable. the only stealth is either from thief steal or sr, aka. 3s/20s (if running acro/tric) if there’s another tbief around 24/7 plus refuge.
evade/blind/port is s/p, even tough they cant spam blind/evade at the same time otherwise they’re out of initiative almsost instantly. Pistolwhip got a huge aftercast just kill him. The only difference at getting stealth compared to s/d is, that they can blast finish their blind field with clusterbomb.
blind/stealth is for d/p. no evades only few ports, incredibly squishy. dont get caught in a bad spot and kill them.
I never said they can “stealth spam” with this build though.
Burned out from wvw,yes a bit.But it’s not really due to this tournamet it’s more WvW as a whole that’s becoming quite the bore for me.I cant really seem to have fun anymore as i used too.I still occasionally roam with my guild at evenings,but thats about it.Compared to when WvW was all i was doing,and after our events always going to EB to still roam with some friends is something i won’t even do anymore.Same stuff different day.
Worthless skill as of now ( Pvp speaking ),anyone with a working brain will hold off with attacking when you popped defiant.The only thing that will make this skill useful is removing the boon icon so people cannot see you popped defiant,otherwise it will stay as useless as it currently is.I doubt a stunbreaker would do anything good.The person will see you have defiant up after you came free from your stun,and all he has to do is back off for a bit untill defiant ended.
Do i still have to add that this isnt about one particular gamemode ? This also isnt about being able to “bunker a point” Deimos…..Hotjoin/sq/tq /wvw it shouldn’t matter,this is about the evade spamm build in general when seeing it from an 1on1 perspective.Also mind you that other classes do have skills that go on cd eventually.
@Handin..again this is speaking as a double melee,meaning no condi’s,no heavy aoe’s except earthshake wich he will evade 90% of the time.If their evade chain is off,he can port back with bow,kite around untill he can stab you again and continue to evade chain.Its a rinse repeat,if theyre up in your face,you get stunned ( Yes stabi goes on cd at one point ) ,blind and an evade chain…if their out of initivative they can simply port back and kite,and without a mobility build or a bow,you will have a hard time trying to land a hit in there at al,also they do plenty of dmg to be able to bring you down fast enough.
I honestly think it’s just terrible game design,being able to be in an evade chain ,of 6 – 8x in a row while dealing dmg is bad enough,add in those ports and blinds and it can become gamebreaking.

So it kinda shows youre only able to make stupid comments in every thread you post ? bravo.
Someone doesn’t get a joke.
Honestly…you have some issues going on buddy.

I do,but this guy is serious.It shows with the all the replys he made in the past about warriors,his newest thread should say something about him aswell.
Last thread is probably a little childish and is likely going to get a ban for singling out players, but honestly, everyone is sick of one and a half years of unsubstantiated “thief op” claims so I don’t blame him. Especially considering he retorted with evidence (evade spamming thief is running S/D and is therefore not blind spamming) and you just go “no! thif op! evades! blinds!”. It’s really quite annoying.
No,he just claimed himself that they are able to Spamm evade,something anet wanted to reduce,and is not happening atm.And i just kept by what i said,that being able to blindspamm + porting + stealthing + being able to constantly evade while doing dmg is too much.Im not the kind that screams op at every class/build,honestly,its just a thing that has been bugging me since a long time.Also i used to 1on1 on a daily base with lots of “Pro” thieves that have acknowledged this to be a fact.Im not the Rank 5 noob that just jumped into pvp that you think i am.
Anyway..were derailing a thread now i think..if you got anything else to say please just pm me otherwise.

Control panel > Power Options > Use the High performance plan and click the “Change plan settings” > Put “Turn off the display” to Never,and " Put the computer to sleep" at Never.
Then click advanced power settings. and set “Turn off hard disk after” to Never and do the same with “Sleep”.
hey, them thieves dun have heavy armor and highest health pool like us warriors, it is only fair to give them decent amount of evades to make up for that.
i’m okay with that.
“Decent” amount of evades,sure i’m fine with that aswell.But currently its not decent,its way over the top.
Dont use a sub par build then. If I go pvp naked and get owned im not gonna cry for nerfs. Melee only warrior is crap.
Use longbow+ axe/GS/hammer
It’s not a sup-par build.Also why should i be forced to go bow ? Ive had my fun with that months ago,im tired of running the same crap as anyone else is currently running.You got 99% warrs running with bow,thats not my thing.Also..i Can beat them with my current build…Its not the point im trying to make.
And Double melee warr is anything but crap.I can faceroll most hambow users out there.But thats not what this post is about..Its about the insane amounts of evading they have ontop of them being able to port around,blind spam,and still able to stealth away on top of it.
1. If he’s evade spamming, he’s probably playing S/D acrobatics.
2. If he’s playing S/D, he won’t be stealth/blind spamming unless he’s running shadow arts as well.
3. If he’s playing shadow arts + acrobatics S/D and you lost to him, you’re bad.
OP clearly doesn’t know how to fight or play thieves and is a forum hero.
Stop making conclusion based on a post about the thieves evade spamming window,wich is a fact.I know how to pvp,i know how to 1on1..thats not the issue.I know thieves that can acknowledge this fact,and they all know their stuff.The evade window is out of control,being able to spamm blind,port,and stealth while constantly evading around vs a Double Melee non condi user,you will not get a hit in between unless you start running a cheesecake build aswell.
Edit: Also ,did you ever see me say Anywhere that im unable to beat them at all ? I didn’t,and if you think i did,then you obviously have trouble reading.
Read the above..End of story,I dont even have anything else too add.Being able to be in a constant evade spamming window while being able to port around,stealth and blind spamm on top of it is just a plain bad gaming design.
30 – 70% involves a warrior ? Whats the point of this ? What are the other classes youve seen in Every match with 2 or 3 in each team… ?
You want them to be nerfed or..I cant really see the point of this useless thread tbh.
If you want to go full condi,Sword/sword,bow is the way to go.Torment is op as hell,if youre able to constantly put torment on someone while being able to blast away with your bow,switch to sword to apply your bleeds and cripples…you will see what happens.Add a sigil of doom on your sword or bow aswell.
Anyway,pm me ingame if you want and we can go 1on1 in spvp so i can properly explain and show it to you.
