Guild Wars 2

I think the x70 implies 70x the stack number so I full stack of 20 would only produce 1400 damage.

Hanako.1827:

Even that wouldn’t really work. It will still be slow as all hell for people to avoid.

IMO The tooth should follow you above your head at 75% of normal running speed.

or hover in place changing its angle to match the target for the first 2-3 seconds

I think the reason its never been altered is because its not abused. Lets face it how many of us actually give up an elite for a few seconds of amazing dps that requires luck to being hit by multiple mini aoes in those 4 seconds (if done flawlessly) and them staying in the aoe long enough to get the 2nd phase of the combo.

Heraldusluminare.2946:

I think ANet meant to explain Scarlet’s motivation through the cutscene after you killed her – specifically what lies at the end of it.

that and even if scarlets story is ending. The story of whatever she released is only just begun…

Carbon Copy= Take any weapon, armor, backpiece and create a complete copy of the item that will be account bound. The process also soul bounds the original to creator.

Now we would be able to create multiple of our favorite items for people who play multiple toons from exclusive/ hard to obtain gear.

Wait anti melee? in which way? the knights have 2 key attacks.
1. Their stomp, which is telegraphed and animated so if your not dodging that’s your own fault.
2. Their pull. This is anything but anti melee since the area around the knight is completely unaffected. In fact this is purely focused on dragging range to her feet so she can get a crack at us. even the attack that follow is a slow animation that only hits in front so if you can’t get the timing to dodge the pull or the follow up attack its purely your own fault.

Its a sad state if this level of telegraphs is bothering you. This is a balanced fight. attacking both melee and range equally. If you had to complain it should be about the fact its pretty much a dps race where we have to hit the dodge button ever now and then and that’s it.

I have to agree. Sure I could play a warrior and just hit things till they die but elementalist offers more variety to my every day life. Which is possible on warriors. Provided you have the right weapon on you at the time.

Cush.4063:

Kinda sounds like I could keep 25 stacks of might up and always have burning on someone constantly even when he cleansed. I’m all for buffing the elementalist but this seems a bit much.

You be pretty hard pressed to reach 25 with only 5 seconds and even if you were attacking large number of mobs it be a risk vs reward situation. It would be pretty much the warrior trait forceful greatsword which is only a master trait plus we lack the rapid pace of 100b and it’s 6 second cooldown which is key for warriors stacking any respectable might stack.

Same with burning, you would have to be hitting them none stop to keep up the effect at only 1-2 seconds. That’s between 1 to 2 ticks so the condition would pretty much disappear the moment we stop. Way a see it fire is fire. No matter the form you should still feel some kind of after sting after being hit by a fire based attack. This would create that impression

Should have said “You call that a gun? Now this, this is a GUN.” In an Australian accent.

Oddly enough I almost did change it to that after posting

I love it personal. Oh sure its challenging but that is how a final boss is meant to be. She presents a challenge to us. she can cripple our HP with ease but that is provided you aren’t paying attention. We now have telegraphs that are short of slapping you across the face and screaming “SOMETHINGS ABOUT TO HAPPEN, PAY ATTENTION!” so you have very little excuse for standing there in the hit box now.

Except she’s not the final boss. The attacks you are talking about don’t actually make a big difference. Its the unmarked attacks that rapidly knockdown in an aoe around the knights that are important. People just care about slam and vacuum because of the achievement. The slam and vacuum are also the one truly interesting thing about the fight.

The rest is just 15 minutes of “ok don’t use anything but autoattack, ok now use your normal rotation, ok back to only autoattacking.”

oh we’re talking about the knights? My bad I thought we were talking about the holos

kittenball.1086:

I don’t see the need for this. Toggle-able head, shoulders, gloves is already more than most MMO’s allow. But who knows, maybe you’re onto something…

New gem store item: Invisible Armor – ONLY 800 gems! “Hang out with your wang out!”

it would give “Junkwars” a whole new meaning.

laharl.8435:

I’ve sent 200g via mail a few times, never had an issue.

meaning your likely on anet’s watch list and being monitored closely.

come on anet, papa wants some discount zodiac armor

Rox’s quiver will be the highlight of the month

…is 3 alliance bags… really? way to make something worth redoing anet. I’m not expecting anything amazing since you do provide a chest and very little to actually do once at that point but impale her. but still only 3 bags? her minions drop more then she does

Ves.8236:

Hi.

Im heavily wonder about the choice of breed for a new character. The choice is between a Human and Sylvari. Please try to convince me to choose Sylvari. Why these race is better choice than Human?

we glow. enough said.

I’m still waiting on my bushy afro

I’ve got around 2000+ blades. and thats me not even farming for the bags. Anet has a bad problem of making something to hard to get or to easy.

Knighthonor.4061:

Will the boss knights get an HP nerf now?

would be nice if they got nerfed down just a little now. maybe take 50% increase down to 25% now.

its a mix. Some players are leaving because of balance issues and bugs (pretty regular for any MMO) but I imagine most are just taking up root in higher populated servers. Between transfers and guesting your server might have more then you realize but everyone is flocking into the tier 1 severs at the moment because of story events requiring large numbers.

What kind of developer forces these setting on their players?
I just started playing FFXIV ARR and they have a setting where I can adjust everyone elses spell effects. I can even turn them all completely off! This. Is. Awesome.
Never miss a dodge again.

I don’t know why we aren’t getting an official response specifically addressing spell clutter. Would allowing players to reduce it make the game too easy, because dodging was meant to be artificially difficult due to spell clutter blocking boss telegraphs? Can a developer look at the screenshots below and genuinely say they can tell what is going on? For a game that is marketed on dynamic combat and “play the game, not the UI”, it is an utter failure that this issue which players have been complaining about since beta has gone on deaf ears—even Colin’s post in this thread avoided it.

Anet may not want to tell you all this, but this is something hard coded into the game code.

Thats why they are having trouble simply removing the large particle effects.

They have to dig deep into the code, which cost large sum of money to fix these issues when its something that deeply programmed into the code of the game.

oh I’m sure once someone sues for having a seizure due to the bright rapid multi color flashes caused by zergs they be pretty quick to find a way. As some anet staff have recently posted on another thread. The FX part of the game not really being focused on at this time. least not until they have fixed more critical bugged areas

Create a Grandmaster trait for each line that gives bonus effects when using that elements attacks.

Fire- 5 second of might with each successful hit. 2 seconds of burn to enemy per hit.
Water- 5 seconds of regeneration for each successful hit. 1-2 seconds of chill on enemy per hit
Air- 5 seconds of Swiftness for each successful hit. 2 seconds of weakness to enemy per hit.
Earth- 5 seconds of Vigor for each successful hit. 2 seconds of cripple to enemy per hit.

There are 2 ways this trait can be done.
First is putting this in arcanes grandmaster line because alot the traits there tend to effect all elements at once rather then favor 1.
Second option would be to create 4 separate grandmaster traits for each Element line that only gives that element a bonus

Another important thing I’m sure anet would love is it would help create more diverse builds if they used the 2nd option and make one for each trait line. People are always asking for more favorite element incentive. This would create it. Enjoy using water and air most of all. Go 30 in and boom now all your water/ air attacks have a more diverse effect from the elementalist beside you who favoured just fire alone or that elementalist you met last week who was sporting water/fire combo. This would open a whole new world for us.

Note: times can be subject to change depending how many stacks can be produced as well as duration. After all we don’t want to over powered.

acutally, w evasive arcana u can:

atune to water :1k + heal , spell 5 2 k heal, dodge 2 k heal, skill 2 1 k heal

d/d btw

anyway, as d/d , i mainly use water for quick heal and to chill enemys, awesome against runners, water spells r fine as they r

its also pretty helpful for some fights that need that little extra range to avoid getting destroyed by some melee attacks.

Meh, it’s too slow and weak for me, and the vuln barely exists.
Water is fine in staff (would like to see a better coefficient on the auto heal but whatever), and it’s pretty good for scepter outside of shatterstone which is just flat out awful. Ain’t nobody got time fo dat thing.

never said it was strong. as for slow it no different then anything in my view. its just very linear so its easy to dodge the 2nd hit. Its just got nicer range then other dagger attacks.
If had to change anything I’d like it to leave behind a ice/water trail that adds 1 second of chill and gives allies 1 second of regeneration. rather then give vulnerablity.

If you follow the whole end cut scene the last ley line end in what is very likely Caledon forest where this Dragon is waking up so Mordremoth is a very likely choice for who is coming. which again begs a certain question. Is there any connection to the pale tree and the 25 year old sylvari race…

I have to admit I do find it nice that anet changed it a bit so we do have to split up. finally something besides mindless zerging. but I can’t help but laugh at the fact they had to hot fix it because we didn’t read between the lines and figure out that was what we were suppose to be doing from the start.

Could this be a sign that anet is figuring out they have to add more instructions then 3 targets and a time limit and say “kill all 3 within the time limit” to make us do more then just zerg them down.

these new telegraphs are pretty helpful. Now I can at least tell when somethings coming and where its gonna hit. so I big thank you to anet on finally giving us a real ring and not that crappy thin line on the ground. Even if I can’t help but feel you got the idea from Wildstar’s telegraphs

don’t forget she was naked during that kissing scene. We all know her fetish from the tower arc.

So how many of you engineer’s were drooling at the way she handles her grenades?

Honestly I won’t mind some quests at times. I don’t really mind how they did this event, its just a sear amount of raid requirement for some parts thats annoying. Nothing makes an event go flat and funless like 20 commanders all trying to bark orders and expect random people with no connection to them in any way to follow blindly.

Big Tower.5423:

Hi guys! Daggerstorm might not add it self together usually. But there’s a expection due to the hologram being very large. if i daggerstorm inside it all daggers will hit same foe. And its about 8 daggers a second over 8 seconds. And since the game isnt able to show 8 diffrent numbers a second it does the same as hundred blades.

Ever seen when you use hundred blades it pops up like 5000-8000-1000-15000-20000 in that style? The same happened with this daggerstorm. it all put it self together into one hit at the end. which was 97 k all together. Hopefully that cleared it up :P

so you didn’t just murder 1? but 8 innocent bunnies! your soul is black sir, pitch black.

laharl.8435:

You’re not being punished for not crafting. You’re just not being rewarded for not crafting.

I’m in complete agreement with that. Tho I admit it does suck if you didn’t reach 500 in those 3 particular area’s like me

If I could make a suggestion. Making the lowest setting for the effects where we can see the attack move from player to target but none of the explosions or lingering effects other then our own. that way we know attacks are still flying and from where. then just gradually bring it up starting with ground fields appearing then lingering effects and explosions.

josephleahy.2943:

That is a 100% legit hit, the only issue is he hit a rabbit or what have you and pasted its dmg to look like he hit there. Whats funny is i can hit around 3 million on a rabbit…

Meaning Big Tower murdered some poor Rangers pet bunny that got loose in all the chaos.

I’m calling fake on this for reasons stated above and because if it was just a case of color buff bonus everyone be hitting high not just 1 person. But just to be safe I think we should nerf thiefs overall damage 300-400% just to be safe.

Its amazing that after all this time pets are still where they are. How is it nothing been done to raise them up from the statue of dead weight yet

Anet even stated things will be answered in the epilogue. meaning for now we’ve killed her and had it confirmed she was nothing but a puppet for something else (95% sure its a dragon).

Did you really expect every answer from that long list to suddenly appear in some book that falls from her dead body?

1. game became balanced
2. RNG was improved greatly
3. Gem prices became stable
4. Char’s started shedding
5. Sylvari hair styles changed to match the seasons.

Kumu Honua.2751:

Or, and this is just a wild statement…

People could stop worrying about what other people do that is perfectly acceptable to do by the game itself.

There is a timer for if you are afk too long it will boot you from the game. They are not getting booted from the game.

Not a problem.

most times I’d be on side for just ignoring them and do what your there to do but lately I been getting alot of times where if we had just had even 2-3 more we could of done it and instead of those kitten 10-15 just standing their like zombies which really ticks me off because its like having something I worked for snatched away by someone else for no good reason.

Astral Projections.7320:

Or just change the AFK kick timer to something like the WvW area. I think that might be around 5 minutes. If you don’t move then you are kicked out.

that would also be ideal

Camera angles have been a big issue for me a number of times. It always finds a reason to weird every time I require quick ground targeting at a distance causing me to miss a number of times. My biggest complain tho is when I’m forced to fight near a wall or object and my view goes from a distance to being inches from my head or kitten completely blinding me. which usual results in me running around like a headless chicken till I can see again.

We’ve all seen them. sitting there in corners hiding while we go all the work and get the rewards in events. I purpose a method that helps kill them off quicker. I means to mark them on the spot. like reporting it but instead it will trigger a message and requirement to move so far from their current location within a 1-2 min window or be removed.

Give Braham and Rox time they’ll come around eventually

Naps Elif.7438:

I’m just totally upset I can’t use my potions in dungeons where I spend 80% of my time. Would be pleased if this was to change. * wink wink*

I’ve yet to understand how that even works? first they cripple item pets because they strain the system to much. even tho it wasn’t an issue first the year and half. and now suddenly a little halo/horns in dungeons is impossible? I’m sensing hidden budget cuts over on their side.
Next we’re gonna learn all weapon effects have been disabled in dungeons.

if it helps any turrets are about as effective as most minions/summons/pets so don’t feel to bad about.

never played guardian but my understanding is warrior is designed with offense in mind while guardian is defense

Romgaard.1965:

ShadowNinja.1238:

Cause Healing Signet and ultra high stats. With full zerk u can get 3k armour 20k hp tell me thats not op.

U really need to get out more.
healing signet makes us “OP”?…really…guess the regeneration boon also makes people “OP” then.

Full zerker does not give u 3K armor….just saying
BTW…warrior stats has not changed since day 1 of this game…why is it a big deal now?

2 reasons I imagine.
first is because they haven’t had any major nerfs and have been able to hold a pretty steady spot from where they started because of this while everyone is getting nerfed into the ground patch after patch.
the other reason is its been an issue almost from the start. warriors has been hated and loved for it.

alot of the other classes are just sick and tired of warriors coming unscratched from every patch. Anet needs to do more then change the description of skill or add/remove .2 seconds from skills. I for one feel like anet is to scared to change anything and alot of players have started to figure that out as well.

honestly I think alot of classes can get taken out if they roam around alone. This meta is ment to be run with groups. Its easy to get over taken by 3-4 enemies even in zerg groups.
