Guild Wars 2

Devona’s Rest would love to see larger, more dedicated WvW & PvE guilds that are willing to STAY in DR- but instead all the main big WvW/PvE guilds in DR are moving away to T-1 servers.

It may or may not balance- but for sure it would certainly help the lower populated servers

It’s all about supply & demand, would you rather gold to gem rates be regulated where it’s one flat fee of every 100 gems is 10+ gold? Because that’s how I see Anet doing it if there were actual regulation. I’m happy with the way it is, exchange when gold to gems is low & sell when gems to gold is high I always say lol

I’ve always heard Celestial is the way to go with an ele, I use Soldier/zerk gear & that itself works great for me

Anyone could have told you that noone in Anet plays an Ele, they are all Mesmers & Guardians & don’t like to listen to actual suggestions that players who know __________(fill in the blank on what profession you main) Profession inside & out, knows better than the programmers that created it.
They don’t like to admit they are wrong so they give us a buff hidden by a massive nerf or ignore the main issue at hand & don’t give a reason as to why because? It’s Anet & that’s how O.G.’s like Anet Roll.

What: Thief
Why: I don’t like Words/Names/’T’itles begging with a ‘T’

The trick to killing a mesmer is running away fast from them
lol JKJKJK
Actually if you want to scare them, make them realize you know which mesmer is real VS the clones by looking for the only one that Dodges & has boons on it, which gives you a big upper hand & you shouldn’t have much of a problem with mesmers after this.

As a warrior in WvW I have mainly Zerk gear with some Knights but I run into condition mesmers & necros all the time & if you know warrior then you know their condition removals are….lame
So I usually run with Axe/Warhorn (warhorn removes conditions & reverts certain ones to boons) and recharges very fast. 2ndary is GS or sometimes mace or sword with a shield in offhand (depends on which you like best)
Runes are x 4 scholar & x 2 divinity all superior
I also use healing surge which also removes conditions from you other than healing you greatly.

Utilities are Dolyak signet, Endure pain & Balanced stance with SoR for extra Oomph as your elite

Padrion.7382:

There are only two explanations for combustive shot nerf:

1) They weren’t honest when explaining the reasons behind it
2) They don’t know their own game mechanics and refuse to listen to people who do

choose one

So true

I’m Glad hammer was nerfed & it’s not even THAT bad. Anet has gone easy on warriors if you think about it. I main a warrior & an ele; Many many times as an ele I’ve literally been chased around a sPvP match by hammer/stunlocks & when they actually could land a hit, it would only take them 3-4 hits to take me down (And I’m talking full bunker ele) So yeah, nerf needed much c:

Ele’s have the same problem as well as the necromancers. Necro’s have it abit harder since the players who know necros inside & out have been giving the best suggestions to Devs & such for the past 14 months have literally been overlooked.
We all know what classes anet plays, Mesmers & guardians.

I love my warrior & I’m not bothered by the nerf mainly bc I’m not a hammer/stunlock :P – I always felt that hammer/stunlocks (even though it can be “helpful/fastkilling/OP”) also didn’t take the most skilled player to use it. A 5 year old could of ran your basic stunlock build & smashed all the way to champion legionnaire title.

I also love my ele, I never complained about a warrior; or other classes for that matter because I’d keep my distance- but some people who play warriors act like all they do is stand still & hit whatever comes close & don’t see why they have a nerf.

It’s only a quest item that you can wear once, and it’s during that certain quest

Are you talking about how it was mindless to nerf the water & arcane traits by moving important traits into higher tiers instead of forward into lower tiers or just leaving them alone altogether which may or may not help promote “build diversity”?

I’m loving arcane wave

They’re also gone from my Recent purchases list, is this because of the new faces update & soon to be fixed?

I see after Dec 10th Patch, this dumb running animation still continues. Guess I get to report it some more as a bug until I get an answer

+1
it may be because they’re updating with all new faces.

Seigfried.5938:

You’ve got to be kittening kidding me! Now I have to choose between renewing stamina and elemental atunement? Elemental atunement is the basis of arcana, it deserves to be where it is. Oh well I guess it’s time to move to another class. I can’t believe changes are still being made to classes more than a year after it has been released.

D/D will not be playable anymore without those 2 traits. Do you guys even put any thought into trait changes and how it will affect pvp?

+1

I don’t think anyone in Anet plays an elementalist. They all play mesmers, guardians, necromancers & warriors & like to guess at what they think might help which most of the time hinders.

Water & Arcana Traits are getting a nerf by being moved into grand master/adept so forth- which I don’t find makes much sense. If you want to promote build diversity- Don’t move traits into higher tiers- that means the person who wants 1 ability out of water or arcana & that ability is now unfortunately in a higher tier than before, they have to pump more points into that traitline- which doesn’t promote build diversity. That’s how I see it.

+1

But GS mesmers love to zerk so hard :}
I like it when they call you a noob bc you can’t kill them or they still call you a noob when you 1 shot them. Kinda like Stun lock warriors, when you can’t break the stun & suddenly they think they’re the best thing ever by keeping you dazed & only able to kill you because of that. They call anyone who can’t take them down abunch of vulgar names even when you kill them for the 100th time because someone was smart enough to dodge.

Anyways….. I don’t think any devs play eles, they all play mesmers or stunlock warriors

+1 As a member of DR this is a true statement. DR is empty now & soon to be dead

I would go for eternity if it actually looked like the blue version.

December 10th changes are nerfing Bunker ele’s because Anet doesn’t want them to heal.
But your basic bunker class is 0, 10, 0, 30, 30
I’ve even seen 0, 15, 0, 25, 30
But any more diversified bunker build will no longer exist after nerf since any good traits are being moved up in tier- so if you wanted to have like 30 in fire or earth while having only 10 in water for cleansing wave, you won’t be able to do that so it will either be Super Squish or Broken Bunker after dec 10th nerf.
Atleast that is how I feel.

Removing a race from pvp makes no sense. I have no trouble killing an asura on my norn. Maybe get some glasses

Still waiting for a response on this; I didn’t want this or any thread like it to die.
+1

I see them as a nerf as well, as a bunker ele in PvE, I will no longer offer anything to my party with healing, anything worth while anyways. So I’m doing what Anet wants someone like me to do; Not play an elementalist at all since that is my favorite class.
It’s very obvious the Arcane & water trait lines are getting a major super nerf which makes no sense. It’s like “oh let’s give them a little bit lesser cooldown in fire & add something that they should like in earth…. but lets take away their ability to heal different ways since that’s really all they have & who needs blasting staff or evasive arcana? lets just scramble all those around. yeah. they’ll appreciate this!”

Does anyone in anet even know how to play an ele let alone play an ele at all & enjoy it?
obviously not.

Shaogin.2679:

Seems a refund of to those that bought the set and complete removal would have been better due to the fact that when the set is updated, what if players do now not like what they have purchased?

That’s what I was just thinking; yeah I was appalled at the Culti 3 human reskin & I appreciate what they did removing it, but like you said- what if the new design noone likes it?
Maybe the people who already have that tier skin from gem store get to keep it only the re release will be different to those who haven’t purchased it?

something to ponder until its released!

I don’t really agree with making tier culti sets available to other races; because it’s what is cool that that race- aside from the race itself being different. It’s the only thing that to me GW has retained because in GW1 armors were profession based, Necros didn’t get ele armor, Mesmers didn’t wear ritualist armor- the only way you could have the same armor as another is if you played the exact same profession & that I appreciated.

I’d be bummed if other light armors of diff races wore the Tier 3 set my Asura Ele wears. Because then it wouldn’t really be unique and why did I go for trying to look different in armor in the 1st place?

+1

Also, if you do AC p3- where you turn into Ghosts & you’re playing a female character- you’ll notice the change in running animations.

I remember reading somewhere that anet had mentioned something about all npc armor/looks would be available to users- which is false.

I’d definitely like armors that flatter female figures, not make them sex objects with their
skimpy ‘super protective fantasy armor’
I’d love more conan type armor that flattered both female & males & looked great on Charr/Asura alike.

A light armored that had owl/raven feathers in a barbaric style
A medium armor with Wolf fur around the shoulders, that’s not a coat for once
And Heavy Armor with a Bear mantle (not like the HotW headpiece) but like an actual animal skin for all.

That’s just my 2 cents & something I’d pay for

These armors are lazy & mean rolling a light armored human is entirely pointless now; because you’ll spend less buying the gem armor that is no longer exclusive to humans- and that’s not even the sad part. The sad part is how pathetic the heavy & medium armors are. Atleast we know Anet hasn’t really been listening about armor skin suggesitons. Unless I can be proven wrong because I doubt any medium class wanted another unflattering coat that is the same skin as Orrian I believe just glowy stuff. Whoopdie-Doo.

Well I decided I wanted to make the staff ‘The Delusion’ by using the mystic forge & I hadn’t used the mystic toilet in weeks possibly months (the delusion is no longer an item on MP & can only be obtained thru a drop or MF) – I didn’t want to waste gold so I used the dungeon tokens I had & bought 3 AC staves & 1 TA staff, 1st try into mystic toilet & BOOM there I get The Legend.

Face it; anything that is good or viable gets nerfed = class even more broken down – but axe/mace is a good bit of DPS in it’s own right. It just doesn’t make sense to nerf a warriors power…. I mean it’s a warrior.

Hopefully this will get a response soon – For my asura’s weird sounds I just turned my GW2 volume down as well & still check to see if she still makes the weird noise & report that as a sound bug

I’d rather the Champ Ele Title be ‘Sorcerer/Sorceress’
or ‘Grand Wizard/Witch’

something like that. C:

Ahhhh…… Yeah that would be annoying – For your sake & others with that hair, I hope many of the new hairs get fixed with their clipping issues

+1

I don’t see how it is a bug. It’s based on RNG better yet, luck.
I have only 2k hours played, I rarely fractal but I do WvW time to time. I mainly help others in Dungeons & roam PvE & I could care less for a pre or legendary, yet I was attempting to make the Delusion staff & on my 1st try at the mystic forge out popped the Legend – I don’t think everyone is guaranteed a pre & hours clearly have nothing to do with it for the most part.

5/10 if you were going for weird & creepy you nailed it

Here is my human guard at character creation

Asurans don’t care for how short your skirt doing flips is or how high those heels are while you’re running a zerg.
They’re more about what’s inside not outside to a degree.
I wouldn’t care for a skimpy armor on my asura; it would be like dressing a child up in that since they have child-like frames. That would be really weird & uncool.

Maybe an obvious more diversified look in armors that distinguishes female asurans between males, but certainly not alluring that hits anywhere near creepy.

Why not? I have a human warrior female; I hate the way she runs now & even before then, I wish I had made her a Charr & wish there was a race change kit out there.
Wouldn’t it be nice?

I don’t have a video but I noticed it really when I was in AC P3 explore; I was on my warrior who is a human female. The part where you’re turned into ghosts to follow the ghost npcs to kill Colossus- the runs were entirely different from human to ghost, when I know for a fact they used to be the same. That’s when I reported it as a bug; Screens won’t do any justice- what’s really the difference you’ll notice is now from then: Then, female humans arms swayed when they ran, was nice & feminine & distinguishable. As a female myself I appreciated it. Now: Their arms raise higher when they run almost like they’re sprinting but not really moving that fast & looks abit silly.

I like shock, magnetic & frost auras

You should switch to attunements every few seconds for that fury/swiftness boon if you have 10 points in Air trait for Zephyr’s boon.
When I see an ele that stays on fire or air ONLY, I tend to get a little ansty & want to get on my ele & show them how its done. (I use staff for dungeons & WvW & s/d for anything else)

my rotation always begins on Earth, so I can stack might by switching to fire & using lava font; then I switch to air for static field – & switch to water for support & so on

The point with ele is you’re supposed to use all of those attunements; as long as you know what they’re for & how to use them effectively

That’s how I feel anyways.

I can’t recall anything that said they were reverting it; Wouldn’t want an ele with their low HP, low dps & squishy selves be to OP now would we?

I think it would be really cool; have your own Wedding instance where parties can be invited & you have to fight something that tries to crash your wedding.. like a past enemy from your personal story.

I’ve figured along with certain sylvari armor bugs, with them not being as bright or female asuran sound bugs; this is just one of those that may be fixed next patch.

It would be nice to choose between animations or this just to be fixed/ read by a DEV atleast.

I think there should be another Heavy armored class, you have 3 light armors & 3 medium armors. Why not 3 Heavy armor classes? Currently there are only 2; a warrior & guardian.

I agree with this – Maybe it will be something to look forward to in the future.
+1

Well poop; I appreciate it!

I could care less what the other plays do, so long as it doesn’t steal my mega awesome thunder at GL

I have no problem with players going AFK for 5-10 minutes bc it gives me time to goof around; everyone has gone AFK atleast 5+ times ever on gw2 whilst in a dungeon.

I’d say the only thing that annoys me is when halfway through a dungeon, if at all we wipe or whatnot the one person goes ‘Yeah, I’m new to this’ I usually want to scream like mad at that player for not saying so in the 1st place but I haven’t yet. I have no problems with dungeon noobs; but when they don’t say anything until there is no obvious progression when we could have taken the time to explain what to do, but instead they aren’t smart enough to say anything until half an hour or so later- I’ve now come to realize that’s how fast it takes their brain to process that they are doing a dungeon.
When that happens now, I don’t ever say anything – my group just goes as if we were 4-manning everything & if that one person gets behind, then that’s their fault. I feel they deserve it for not speaking up in the 1st place.

Okay so here goes….

I have Guild Wars Nightfall & EotN linked to my currrent GW2 account.
My sister has Factions linked to her account but has no use for it.
She has agreed to: having her factions account unlinked & linked to my nightfall account as to where if I play gw1 I can travel between both worlds of Factions to nightfall/EotN to claim the rest of my rewards. I hope that makes sense- But I was wondering could this be done without messing up her GW2 account at all? Can this even be done?
