The main problem with underwater combat is it’s just not balanced. I love it on necro, but not guard. Will see how I like it on thief when I start her up.
Course I’m talking PVP, golden rule of water PVP: If you’re target is a condi necro in the water, just run.
Finished my Sylvari thief’s look finally. However, keeping her at level 12 so I can see the changes on the 15th from that point of view and so I don’t need to buy a second LS dagger x_x But other then that, Ciara Celestina is ready. Now if only I could dye the green stem of the desert rose…….

I simply don’t understand why people are getting so worked up over this.
Take a deep breath; it’s a joke in the spirit of April Fools and will come to pass shortly.
It’s a cool joke – I give them that, but a prank lasting one entire day sucks. Imagine your friend doing a prank on you continuously for the entire day. It transforms from funny to annoying, unless you’re a masochist or something.
It’s only a day.
This is a video game, not real life.
Well, some people have limited time to play so this argument really only affects people with so much time on their hands.
Again, it’s a cool prank. Only what’s cooler is that if they had an on-off switch for it.
Please don’t try to be a White Knight on ANet’s defense, I’m not saying they did a poor job – just saying it’s nice to have some options.
I am personally already sick of having to stare at a bobble-head after five minutes. It’s already affecting game play and it’s annoying enough I refuse to play. It would have been fine if camping out fixed it. But it doesn’t.
All I know is the people “camping” our TC spawn from BG today only succeeded in helping me finish the 300 kills achievement in an hour while I sat in the point safe from harm.
Jungle Worm, Maw and Fire elemental have all gotten a lot tougher over the past year, yet SB remains a relative… friendly creature. He roars, he spawns his little portals, drops some shadow… bits on you, but I don’t think I’ve ever had to revive someone or even heal myself during the event. Considering he’s a world boss, he’s weaker than the champion cave troll or the giant boar which is just… weird.
It’s a pvp JP, what did you expect? people from different servers sitting together for a cup of tea? I got killed hundreads of time by zergs, that’s how it goes. As others said, you have time until the end of May to do the JP achievement… try when there’s less players or when your server organizes a group to kill at the respawn point.
Ganking people in a JP is not PvP. It’s griefing. Since my last post in thread like this got infracted and had the thread deleted I will refrain from statement true feelings about these types of players.
If you are tired of getting grieved in the JP do like me and don’t set foot in it or wait until week 8 of the season to get it, by then these JP campers will have gotten bored and will have moved on to something else.
Tbh, ganking has and always will be a part of PVP games/modes.
That being said it’s quite funny to kill campers as a staff necro because they are so brain dead they think “kitten a that’s a necro, lets camp them while staying as close to the edge as we can”
Well, seeing as how they removed repair costs, the “Rez if you’re down, Waypoint if you’re dead” group got even more justification to be a bunch of jerks.
Maybe there will be a balance there like possibly treating effective event areas like dungeons and preventing dead players from waypointing until all players in the event are dead.
I still don’t get the issue with this.
Are you seriously telling me the jerks are the one the one who are expected to revive someone to lazy to run back themselves at teq or wurm, thus slowing the group down and putting the ressers at risk?
Facilitating friendly play looks like it’s to do with systems that try to foster cooperation. What i’d love is a way to reward people for helping new players. Not sure how this could be done though.
Actually, better tutorial is a great idea, the average player in GW2 is extremely bad. Event like the Marionette was suppose to be something relatively easy, yet it kept failing, same goes for the knight’s in LA. I swear about 3/4 of the players got pulled EVERY TIME by the huge telegraphed and easily dodge-able attack.
Yeah, I also would not mind a better tutorial. For myself it’s unneeded……..but things like Marionette taught me I may be the exception.
I don’t think there would be a better exchange rate after the patch. If anything, there is a big risk that the map rewards will be nerfed. So I suggest doing map completion now before April 15th.
I’d love to see restrictions on armor removed for the sake of transmutation. So I could be an Elementalist looking like I’m in Heavy Armor, even if the Stats are still Light Armor. Or I could be a Guardian in Light Armor even though I’m wearing Heavy Armor.
yeah, dont ever see that happening. ANet believes in being able to identify a class just based on their general “look”. If what you wanted happened, then no one would be able to tell the different classes apart in pvp/wvw.
That doesn’t hold true anymore if we can now wear town clothes in WvW.
you know what else would make you a sad panda? An ettin grabbign hte end of the cape and twirling you throug hthe air only to smash you on the ground or after jumping off a JP to get the cape snagged by a vicious and menacing pebble just waiting to kill you or harpies grabbing the cape and flying off with you to do gods know what kinds of horrible horrible things to your soft underbelly! as such, capes are no good. <nod>
Giving the AI way too much credibility here… the game is not real. The engine even lacks some basic physics. It even lacks momentum (getting crippled or chilled while you are mid-jump… yeah no sense of momentum).
Personally Im a particle sucker, and I like big, unrealistic, imposing shoulder pads. Why? No idea, but I do, been like that for years. Right now radiant set is my perfect armor, I already have everything but the boots, and i dont like how thye are for 21k AP when im still at 10k, kinda very unrealistic.
I also love above all; detailed armors. By that I mean armor that have intricate patterns into it, such as human heavy t3, or heavy armor from CoE, or the aptterns on the radiant back part of the shoulder pad.
Examples of what i mean by intricate patterns on golden shiny armors, without having to fall in the unrealistic particle shoulders that I also like: (This is also from GW1, from Prophecies, Rhaegar Lannister, an NPC)
That’s exactly the type of stuff I was talking about earlier! Nice. As said, this would make armor look detailed and royal without making it too fantastical.
The next Boss they create will have to be killed in 3 different overflows at the same time, so that TTS can bring more players. And maybe after that they create one that must be killed on ALL server at the same time. I wonder if TTS then also builds a european squad if they make it Worldwide.
The event in general seems gated to me, due to the general fact that it requires this vast amount of coordination, that you’d likely only get with a commander tagged guild working cohesively with the event, all the other world boss events you just plop in and smack the beast.
Which is a problem with all the other world bosses, they are all far to easy.
Really though I feel Marionnete has been their best jab at the idea of open world raid bosses so far. Not to difficult, yet not to easy.
I just don’t get, why Arena Net would make a fight like this when they know it needs work. No game company likes wasting resources, so to have this potentially great and entertaining fight available to all players, they choose to gate it? And yet they refuse to do gear treadmills? It just makes no sense to me personally.
The only gate here is people’s willingness to work together.
Here’s the thing: my Server PuGs the wurm boss, that’s not a problem. But, the fact that this steaming plate of undead goodness is just sitting in one place and being failed every attempt, there is something wrong with that. I don’t believe anyone still even kills him, he’s just sitting there as a wasted pixel design.
TTS does multiple runs of him every day, and I think Blackgate kills him at reset usually. Or they have some other set time, not sure.
I’d go one step further and remove armor classes entirely. I’m not seeing much of a justification for it.
I do kind of feel the same way honestly. I know there’s the armor amount, but most of our defense is active/passive skills/hp rather then the armor itself.
Perhaps you’re both right, and it would give people even more freedom in customizing not only their looks, but their builds as well.
Personally I just want to use medium tier 3 sylvari female on a sylvari guardian.
They way that armor dyes is so sexy it should be a crime.
Would you have screenshots of that?
Yeah, although I have always felt screen shots never do the game justice, but I do have multiples. Keep in mind there are only two colors being used here. Midnight Ice and Sky dye. The rest is just a natural result of the combo from what I can tell.
I actually made a thief just for this outfit but if it was not locked to med……..
He’s designed for large co-ordinated efforts. If you want to kill Teq or the Wurm boss in Bloodtide, you want to join one of the big guilds dedicated to such bosses. TTS being the most known one.
Back when I was in the guild OCD for a short time, I kittened someone off by telling them their multiple legendaries meant nothing to me because they were all ugly in my opinion when compared to the corrupted skins I used.

I find it hilarious that people here are saying that Condis need to be buffed, but almost everywhere else everyone complains about how Condis are already the most played and consist of only imba no-skill spam.
Really builds confidence that the community at large on the forums knows how to handle game balance.
When people complain about OP conditions, it’s in sPVP and WvW.
In PVE, it’s about how weak condis are. Condis in a PVE environment is an entirely different situation from sPVP and WvW.
@Slowpoke – This is about crit damage, not chance…?
As far as I know, critical chance will also be lowered. The last news I heard about this implied that at least. Is that no longer true?
(As a sidenote, what is the reasoning behind this change? All critical damage will be lowered so all characters are punished equally but it still leaves berserker as the optimal PvE build. Unless I’m missing something, it seems they just made killing things slower and thus more boring.)
Supposedly this is the first part of their plan to eliminate the zerker or go home mentality. We’ll see how it pans out I guess.
Hmm…I am rather pleased with Parasitic, been considering remaking my Necro as a Sylvari but wanted to see the traits first……
Think I might do that if I can get a good Sylvari look, I’ve begun to stop giving a kitten about the state of Condis in PVE. Still find Condi Necro far more enjoyable then anything else. Not like I run with speed runners anyways and I can’t stand more then 20 minutes of a champion farm. Plus Epidemic is just so satisfying in WvW and PvE
