Guild Wars 2

Ironvos.9014:

Don’t think it is the same golemrush.
The one where we wiped all those AG golems in the lordroom was around 3am or something, that screen shows it being 6pm.

Oh my bad,didn’t even look at the time showing,just assumed it was the one at 3am.i wasn’t on at 6pm.So another golem rush huh..hmmm To bad i left.

awe extender.1908:

Late night AG golem attack!

Long live AG!

You forgot to mention all those golems got wiped ! Still great fun fighting you guys these last few days,scared the kitten out of me with that golem rush,but we managed.We saw you building them in panglos,moving them in to ogres..then we moved in panglos and noticed it was sieged up like hell,trebs inside,flame rams,balistas,ac’s.If you waited 20m with that golem rush,we wouldn’t expect it.
Anyway,great fun so far,hope you all feel the same.

Good luck all.

I think that your being “One shot” everywhere is a bit exaggerated.And if so,then i honestly think ( as a guardian especially,being one shot ? come on…)You’re playing the class wrong.Or either need to get used to learning how to use your guardian properly.It’s kinda easing blaming it all on anet,i doubt it’s so in this case.And for the low lvl populated areas being pretty empty,as other suggested,just hop to a high pop server for a while,its free after all.Also,join a guild..Play together.

One shot in pve is not such an issue, if some fights were shorter, but keeping up dodging for a 15min fight is a bit much.

As for pvp, no its not all the time, I had a couple of decent skirmishes, but then something (I think a ranger, possibly a thief), pasted me in a single shot from range, it was silly. So much for health scaling. no form of pvp should allow that kind of thing to happen. I dont mind losing, i mind not having a chance to do anything.

Dont worry about that,thats just the thief class,and it happens allover,vs every class.For that you need to play pvp alot to learn how to counter them.Also dont forget you’re “just” a low lvl,not fully specced yet and eventhough there is lvlscaling,the difference is still kinda big,especially since you dont have all traits unlocked yet.I just suggest to join a nice guild lvl up together,gear up and hit wvwvw when you get to 80.

But honestly,thiefs just do insane amounts of dmg while being perm stealthed,just search the forums about that,Loads of post,thats not your fault.Stability,retalition,any invulnerable skill,protection etc,pop it when you get hit by a thief,and pining them down is really important otherwise they just stealth,get hp again etc etc or cowardly run off,you need to be Real fast with dealing with them,for that i suggest to check out your class section how to deal with thiefs,i honestly never played as a guardian.

I think that your being “One shot” everywhere is a bit exaggerated.And if so,then i honestly think ( as a guardian especially,being one shot ? come on…)You’re playing the class wrong.Or either need to get used to learning how to use your guardian properly.It’s kinda easing blaming it all on anet,i doubt it’s so in this case.And for the low lvl populated areas being pretty empty,as other suggested,just hop to a high pop server for a while,its free after all.Also,join a guild..Play together.

I dont even know how this is possible to begin with if the gold has been in your bank for 30m.The game “autosaves” Constantly,at everything you do,making sure there will be no losses when a disconnect happens. Something like this should only be able to happen,if the server crashes and a small rollback has occured.Anyway best luck is to contact support about this.

Why is everyone pretending to be Professor barabas on these forums ? Let anet figure it out and get off your high horse already “my friend”.

No,simply because i dont lay dow 15$ a month to play a game,the only one i did was Final fantasy.Its a principle thing,i love gw2 but will i pay a monthly fee ? I seriously doubt it.

After couple patch, I think war is still on same position which is good on pack and so-so on 1vs1

Giotto.2607:

Alright. So, I have been playing this game a long time. I kinda feel bored about it. What i feel this game is that this game is just so peace. You can not kill others in the leveling area, can not duel others, even can not check others’ armor. There is like totally no drama!!! But, you know, drama is actually the main thing keep people playing games.

However, those are not the main thing I want to talk about today. Now, here is the big question. Where is the kittening guild wars!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I was interested in this game, it is because I like the idea of “guild wars”. The idea of my guild is better than yours! Your guild is junk! You know, dramas!!!!!! Guild wars 1, at least have GVG pvp. But for Guildwars 2, it’s not making sense to me. Where the kitten is the guild wars?!!!! Why don’t you guys making the game name “Zhaitanwars”! GG!!!!

Drama is NOT the main thing i keep on playing games.A community filled with drama,gibberish on the chat,smacktalking,is an mmo where i wont stay long.

Taluha.2960:

[From FR] Hey guys nice to fight against you we have some cool time and cool fight, and it’s especially appreciable after two week against german servers, but unfortunately we have find a cheater on FSP server this morning, on your home map.

It is a human thief if I remember correctly, small and short brown hair. I’m sure of this (cheating) cause we have played against him during 30 min this morning, and we have see him : deal too much damage (like 25k in 2s on a war), instant stealth after Heartseeker without any Blinding Powder and before the end of the 3s, stealth after a Clock and Dagger on NOTHING (he did it just in front of me, I was stealth and I’m sure he just clock with this attack by hitting the wind, no creature at proximity), he found us when we where stealth and use Heartseeker when we where stealth (impossible without focus) and finally go stealth two time after get down and dissapear without giving any xp or drop, with 5 player seeking him in a area where he can’t escape.

Unfortunately I started FRAPS too late for filming him, but take care and report if you see him, thanks a lot, cheater will not be accepted on this game.

Hf and cya

Tbh,that’s just a thief who knows his class and how to use a perm stealth build.There are no damage increasing hacks available whatsoever,Period.Honestly,that’s just the thief class for ya,totally broken with the current set of traits/skills.Ive seen this happen dozens and dozens of times.

Eviscerate should have the same range as savage leap.

Btw,im glad not everyone likes to brag like you do, otherwise the forum would be filled with nonsense topics like this.Most people like to keep it to themselves,since they do it on a daily base etc..Seems youre quite happy with your first hit that actually does some dmg.

Is anything serious being done against this Anet ? I think i see this type of behaviour in Wvwvw Alot,daily base..Saw a group of 5 people yesterdaynight (I am Far Shiverpeak they were UW ) just contesting Jerrifer,standing still shooting the gate balled up,i jumped down,they didnt flinch or target me,i start hitting them..again they didn’t flinch and kept manhitting the gate.Was able to down and finish all 5 of them,possibly something like described below.See someone moving about with insane speed ? You notice he has no speedbuffs on him yet he moves like the wind and especially strafing left/right is insane,uncatchable.

Things like this,are really destroying wvwvw,also ive read the 26th its gonna be even worse,since they are releasing a hack with Condition immunity.

Yeah i figure this thread might end up being deleted,dont blame you.Just,you need to be aware ( if youre not already ) that theyre bringing in some NASTY stuf that is going to ruin WvwvW/pvp alltogether.Im getting sick and tired of seeing these same people ruin the games i love.

Also: How in the world would we be able to report someone in a 30 man zerg ? Its nigh impossible,and my bet is most of these people will go undetected if Reporting is the only measure against them.

I think we should be able to zoom out a bit more when operating sieges like arrowcarts.But the trick when an arrowcart is on the back of a wall,to just aim it infront of the gate eventhough you barely see where youre aiming,you will hit people,and rams with it,just pay attention to the dmg you do and occasionlly see if the rams hp is dropping then you know you hit the right spot.

Doubt you will get a fix soon..my cosmetic bug reports about norn,stag helm,shields,weapons clipping through stag capes etc are dying of old age as of now.Think we have to accept the clipping issue as it is.

I had the same issues, but I reinstalled some older gfx drivers which hasn’t given me any TDR yet. I don’t know if the new drivers are just poorly written, but I can say it started with the 31×.xx drivers up until the latest release which caused the same issue.

How do I remove a driver and replace it with an older one? It refused to just let me install it.

Go here for older GPU drivers.

http://www.guru3d.com/files_categories/videocards_nvidia_geforce_vista_|_7.html

They need to add more gear/accesoires or w/e wich we can buy using karma.The current Orr boxes doesn’t cut it for me since im not a gambler.

Btw The laurels accesoires,i wouldn’t mind paying 1mill per accesoires.

Thiefs aren’t really being fixed with this you know.They can still remain perm stealthed,thats a trait/build issue,unaffected by culling although culling Does make it worse in Large zergvszergs,but you also see thiefs 1vs1 in perm stealth,not related to culling at all at that moment.

Jazhara Knightmage.4389:

AA in drivers wont work, the game uses deffered rendering, and with deffered rendering, you cant use AA with dx9, had they launched with dx10 or 11 that wouldnt be an issue but…alas, this aborted console port of a game was not build so that you could get real aa.

if you want better AA then the FXAA in game, try SMAA you can disable fxaa and get FAR FAR better results using smaa.(fxaa is blurry as hell!!!)

upgrading won do you much good, even top end intel i7’s overclocked can only manage 25-40fps in WvWvW/DE’s, average cpus even overclocked cant do any better….sadly upgrading in hopes this game will run as expected are hopeless…

if you cant take how the game looks and runs try tera or some of the other decent f2p mmo’s out there and wait for the xbox720 to land, thats when anet will start working on making the game run better…..and support dx11.

If you use SMAA,you should keep FXAA enabled…thats point 1.The SMAA will sharpen the FXAA out,and the FXAA provides about 10x better Aliasing for plants/gras/etc etc,they can work together for AA,no need to use one or the other.And for someone just asking to raise ingame quality higher,its a pretty weird move to suggest him to move on to tera.

I would rather hear “Toastyyy”.

314.14 are giving horrible performance for gw2.I;m using it for Tombraider,since it gives way better sli scaling.Otherwise i would have popped back to previous drivers some days ago…What im saying,Rollback you drivers to a WHQL one.

I don’t think it’s the drivers, had the issue for some time now.

You don´t know sure untill you try it.Worth a shot.

I’m currently using 314.07, and it still happens. It also happened in versions before that.

Did you try to reinstall any of your other drivers ? Corrupted mobo drivers with Nvida drivers ontop of that,can do the same thing.

yagerau.6438:

All you need to maintain perma stealth is the +1 second stealth trait, the initiative while stealthed trait, and +2 initiative when stealthed trait. That is for perma AOE stealth. I use it with my buds around corners sometimes and ambush people. If you run with two or more similar spec thieves, you can roam the whole map invisible.

Exactly,and i want to know,why anet thinks that this is fair and not unbalanced and working like it should ? Threads pop up about thiefs and this issue every day and we get no response at all.I honestly would like to know if this is all intended an working like it should, since they aren’t doing a thing to fix this class.And if so,then grats on making the most unbalanced noobfriendly class ive ever come across in all mmo’s ive played the last couple of years.

Thiefs can constantly one hit,evade,stealth,full hp,over and over and over and over,and you will not hit them once.The class has certain builds that are completely broken and unbalanced,yet anet doesn’t seem to think so since they are still not balanced out 7 months later.Its the most dumbest and broken class available in this game.

Ramdisk is faster then ssd,anytime of the day.The bad side is,you have to recreate the disk for gw2 everytime you boot your pc,thus its not really worth it unless you never power down.

Hm tbh,if you have “poop” fps in spvp,you will Completely lag out in wvwvw…just saying.

Bad skill lag in far shiverpeak aswell since yesterday,not just me i hear alot of people complain about it.Skill lag/delays/spikes.

I dont know any good thiefs,imo they all play the same,and rarely use anything different then the same skill over and over.Sure there are a few that are good,but i still have to find them though,most just copy/paste googlebuilds and think theyre actually any good while using 1 skill while in stealth,they bore me tbh.

Isn’t it the same in every mmo ? And slowly they will add more end game content to the game.In all these months i still find to enjoy myself with this game ( other then alot of other mmo’s i tried in the past few years ).On top of that,i just have One character.It’s not that i play 24/7,but when i do log,i still find enough things to keep me busy and to enjoying myself.Also join a guild,get a tight group of people together to always do stuff with,it makes it way more fun and enjoyable.

Fun thing is ,anet could ban dozens of players right now by doing a simple google search,and finding a forum where people are actively searching for guilds where All people are hackers ( there are quite alot of them that i saw ),and they are hacking aswell.Names are on the page,on wich server they play,n wich guild they are,character names,account names,email,the purpose of the hacks etc…If only anet would bother.They can take care of ALOT of people by investigating those accounts.

I could give them the site right now..

Sounds like he was using a consumable.

There is no consumable that gives fear as far is i know.

I think Zenyatoo has it right.

Bron,the NPC"s and Ai were as stupid as the person controlling them….Just saying,there wasnt anything wrong with it in gw1 if you knew how to…ANyway,Hero’s have no place in gw2 as of now,everything is soloable,and the things you can do with other people,should be left to do with other people,and not to create an even larger barrier to the ingame community as people will solo ALL dungeons,alone,with Hero’s,there will be less communciation,and less grouping up.

I do agree with that necro noise…that can be toned down a bit imo

Theftwind.8976:

Once again I will reiterate. Mounts are not possible unless the game is revamped completely. Think very carefully about any stun/root/ an enemy has whether that enemy is pve or wvw. That root has to target an object. So you have to cast it BOTH on the horse and the rider or it will not work. Guardian chains of light for example, affects ONE object only. Not two. So what would you do, make a mounted person one object only? Does that object then have more hitpoints then either the horse or the rider alone? Will you be able to take damage while on horseback or not? If you do take damage can you deal damage? If you do not take damage what a way to break through enemy lines!

People just do not think things out when asking for mounts. The current game design will have to be modified, skills will have to be changed/altered, which would break most if not all current builds.

All irrelevant,It’s Simple…mounts just pop away when you get hit instantly,just like when you ride the broom and get hit by someone,it pops away.Thats no issue,the issue is ….that mounts just have no real place in gw as of now.

Mesmer or ele..Not much else to add,take a pick between the two.

cletiscake.9173:

I don’t know what everyone else thinks about this, but I feel the Ghastly weapons are super awesome at night, and totally unattractive during the day. I think its not too far-fetched to say that most players (if not all) are purchasing the Ghastly weapons for their unique animation at night, and not their daytime animation (except maybe the greatsword, cuz it still looks cool during the day). Which is why I would absolutely LOVE to see the skins reworked so that they constantly glow blue, regardless of what time it is.

All of the ghostly enemies or any npc who is weilding the Ghastly weapons, are all weilding them in their blue/glowing nightime form, so why can’t we? I think giving us the blue/glowing animation only at night makes the Ghastly weapons less appealing because we are buying these weapons specifically for that animation, and we only get to see it half of the time at best, or maybe even less than that depending on when you have time to play. There’s just nothing special or visually appealing about the daytime skin on the Ghastly weapons, nothing there that validates your time spent on acquiring those weapons. I may be alone in this, but I think it would be awesome to see those weapons glowing blue all the time.

I wish there was a way to poll on this, but yeah, does anyone else feel the same way?

Theres a reason for it…Think Ghost,maybe you get it.

For gods sake let people speak their mind already, this is getting RIDICULOUS. Anet – Orwell 1984.

So,no response ?….Mods do you guys even read the bug reports ? Im starting to get the idea that im wasting my time with these bug reports eventhough these are Serious game breaking bugs,i would have though anet would care more about their game…honestly.

if 10 people post a bug in your forum,and 10 people get No response from a mod,then those 10 people will think they waste their time and their post goes unread.This is NOT motivating people to keep on posting bugs anet.

314.14 are giving horrible performance for gw2.I;m using it for Tombraider,since it gives way better sli scaling.Otherwise i would have popped back to previous drivers some days ago…What im saying,Rollback you drivers to a WHQL one.

Your client should only freeze for a second or so since its taking a snapshot of the current frame.Try a repair client perhaps.

Ive seen it happen alot recently that i’m downing someone,and afterwards not being able to further kill off my target.All my hits suddenly miss or the current player suddenly is invulnerable,if i try to make the finisher move,it will even miss aswell.I have to let some other players finish the target off,although most players seem to miss the current player aswell.No idea,why or how or when it triggers,its all happening randomly.No idea how to recreate this,just saying i see this happen Every day multiple times.Ive even had it So bad,that the current player was able to get himself up after me downing him,and my hits All missing,so he was just ressing himself in the meanwhile because i couldnt hit him anymore…stuff like this is kinda game breaking.

“Down someone,Target suddenly invulnerable,all hits will miss,finisher move will miss,target even able to res himself and even get up in the meantime.”

Tiscan.8345:

We’re often running into a situation where the commander in WvW gets blocked by the spam-protection because he is posting too much.

IMHO either commanders should never be blocked or at least they should be able to always post in the /team and /squad channels.

Hate to disagree here,though i surely do agree with you aswell..But there are “some” commanders,that do talk..way..way to much and also say the most random childish things you could imagine,totally unrelated stuff to what’s actually going on in wvwvw,or the ones loving to blame everyone else except themselves,non-stop.I do not wish these people to glog up my chat with random bull i do not care about.Most commanders just do what they need to do,but youknow there are these few that might make it horribly annoying by not being suspended on mapchat anymore for talkig to much,unrelated stuff,and i Know some are gonna do it on purpose if this gets implemented.

This actually affects wvwvw aswell,ive had it had so many times that im standing infront of someones face,hitting the person and missing most hits,or either he suddenly is invulnerable for no apparant reason,no buffs whatsoever.I Really think theres somthing wrong with the hitbox detection.

Avatar pictures overlap each other in partys,annoying.been present since like forever.
If someone goes offline while still in the party you have to remake the party because the player is unable to be kicked out,also present since forever..Things like this shoulnt be taking so longto be fixed imo.

Jettit.7184:

and in your video all i see is lag and you sucking at wvw

That “lag” you see,is a strafewalk speedhack,the OP is right..this player is hacking.But still should have reported this directly to anet.

The hammer is not fine as it is,that even beyond the need to fix staggering blow there are other things that could use some work i havent even mentioned and could need a whole new thread in its own.Also there is a reason why they removed the self root on skill 3 Months ago,wich was present at first.I dont care about him disagreeing with me,thats fine if you lack the understanding to see whats wrong with the hammer.But blaming it on me not having the skill to use it,is also the wrong approach.Imo its a fact that there is no need for a self root on staggering blow,pure and simple,i understand that its needed on a skill like hb wich is an Op skill that does tons of dmg and can down multiple people in a row when used effectively,on staggering blow that is not the case,its merely a control skill.

@kaimick,just drop it please,your not providing anything usefull to this thread as of now.if you have or lack the “skill” to even properly use a hammer or not,has nothing to do with it at this point.

@Wreckdum,great to see another avid hammer user seeing the same problem as i do.The hammer could use some fixing,period,and imo it’s staggering blow that needs the biggest fix,im not even talking about the f1 that never lands on uneven ground.

I was doing the New spirit maps and they had two hammer warriors that who apparently were gods at the hammer, no matter how much I tried to dodge I still got knocked around and CC’ed. I watch them do this to at least 4 people. So apparently they learned how to use the hammer properly or they are gods.

Personally seeing more than just those two people use it with precision of a freaking surgeon I am inclined to believe that people just need to practice with it more. The Warrior hammer is already a pain and aggravating to deal with in TPvP and SPvP as is when the person knows how to us it. Giving more mobility would almost make it game breaking.

Sorry just my 2 cents

TL;DR There are tons of players that can use it fine how it is and are really really effective.

I don’t think you understand the point of this thread.This is not a “i have no clue how to play a warrior properly or how to use a hammer,please learn me how to play” thread.It’s a suggestion to fix a skill.Never did i say once that i was unable to kill people,kd them or stun them,that is not the issue here.Ive been playing since august,and been using hammer since that day,hence i know the hammer,its strengths its weaknesses and its buggy behavior at times,thus this thread to make a suggestion to fix a skill.The issue is related to 1 skill and 1 skill only.Number 4 is not an op skill,its a mere knockdown,its not a 100b dmg kinda skill that will make sure that when you hit your opponent that he wont survive the attack,its a control skill thats needs fixing.

I never said any of what you presumed I said, I see this as you possibly mis-understood me.

SO in turn the way it works now with Hammer skill #4 man y many many players have no issues using it effectively in a 1v1 setting. So why if a multitude of other players have no issues in using it effectively in a 1v1 does it need to be changed to a quicker swing. The attack is already devastating, not so much damage but in the control affect. So I guess my question is, If so many other players I have seen, can use it with out issues why does it need to be changed?

I did not misunderstood you at all,you were saying “those people learned how to play”, meaning that I don’t.Please,dont insult my intelligence in this manner.
Again,if you do not play a warrior you have no clue what you’re talking about,since you do not use a hammer.I know alot of other people that do use a hammer,and also see the problem im speaking of.You also never saw me say once,that i am Always unable to hit my target or kill anyone as i said earlier,its kinda a “must” to bring immobilize,frenzy,or put a sigil of rage on your hammer to make the skill effective.This is not about my ability or skill,or the lack there of to be able to kill someone effectively,this is about a buggy skill wich self roots while it shouldn’t,and also about the animation that is too slow compared to the others or in following after skill 3 or 5 for ex.

Now,leave the l2p comments out of this thread,and do not derail it again.
This is a serious matter,and a serious suggestion to anet.

Oglaf.1074:

It needs to be able to be used on the move to be even remotely useable. I’ve stopped using it in both PvP and PvE because the enemy will just walk out of range.

They take one step backwards,and you miss your target,so either they can fix this by

Increasing the range of the skill
Remove the root
Make skill 4 swing faster

Blaming anet when it’s clearly something on your end….since hundreds,if not thousands of people are playing atm.Then even calling the game a fail aswell.

You get a response from a mod willing to help you,and your response is basically, “No,im not doing that….5m of troubleshooting is to much work !”

Sometimes,i just don’t understand people,at all…

what’s the point of this thread if your unwilling to accept any help at all ?

“Yo”..Are you trolling Us ?
