@Chris

Your argument may hold water if half the kitten we talk about weren’t bugs. Bugfixes would go a long way to buffing the class. These bugs have been with us since beta in many cases, and no fix in sight. It seems to me they don’t give a kitten about bug fixing, or suggestions.

It holds even more water for the fact that there is an in game bug reporting tool and the fact there is already a thread about Ele bugs.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/elementalist/NEW-Elementalist-bugs-and-glitches-thread

There is no need to clog the front page with nothing but complaints. I rather enjoyed when the forum had advice, videos, actual discussions on how to beat certain classes etc.

It would be nice to get them back there instead of a constant complaint fest.

Hello,

This is not meant to troll or invoke a negative response, but we can all stop complaining on the forums now.

Judging by these past patch notes its proof they do not listen to complaints on the forums and are going by their own statistical data (as they should). Suggestions are one thing, but the Ele forums has got to heck with just unrelenting complaints.

Let’s try to make an effort to get it to a place where it’s build sharing, advice giving, and actual discuss rather than nothing but complaining.

Again, tonight was proof complaining non stop does not equal a biff to Ele.

Thanks

The best part of the new patch.

Gosh, yes. The hordes of nude and semi-nude ranger-bots infesting the human starting areas on presumably every server weren’t getting sufficient loot drops.

Glad we made them more profitable.

You just can never be happy can you?

Here is an idea…why don’t we go play the game instead of complaining about it on the forums?

The tone of the OP was one of good sportsmanship and you people have just brought it down with your constant complaining…

To the OP, yes indeed good luck to everyone, we have a whole week to make a good fight!

There is very good reason for our complaints, they are all well justified. We have every right to be very unhappy with the class.

No one ever said you didn’t have a right to complain.

This thread is for people to share both good and bad experiences.

I invite everyone to share and maybe Anet will get the feedback they need.

Hey all,

I have seen A LOT of complaining about elementalists on the forums…and by a lot I mean pretty much every post.

So I tried it out, right now I am level 25. Yeah I started off a little rocky but right now I have taking on 3-4 things 2 levels above me with little to no problems.

The only thing that I could say is annoying is the amount of effort needed to take mobs on compared to other classes, but I don’t really feel as kittened as everyone makes it out to be.

So lets here from everyone, both good and bad.

List something you hate, or list something you love….good experiences and bad experiences.

If you just come in here and go “OMG THEY SUCK” and don’t back it up, no one will take you seriously, so please think about what you type.

Thanks!

Hey,

First off I love the game so please don’t read this as a hater trying to complain.

I just feel a little let down that my class is so useless in WvW. I know I can (and have) done support roles, buffing everyone, shielding, holding point as best I could etc…but for what?

While I support everyone, they get loot bag after loot bag, I was watching my friends stream who I was playing with and he had a pile of bags from killing people and I got squat for support.

So I say “alright, I will go offensive” the only ranged attack I get is glowing tennis balls that I could probably run faster than, and if I go tank spec or greatsword/hammer I can’t find any 1v1 or even 2v1’s anywhere because everyone always zergs.

I like the Guardian and I just feel a little cheated at how useless I am offensively in WvW and how I don’t get any rewards for supporting my team.

Anyways, hope everyone else is enjoying their time.

Ementalist sucks period.

Reduce cooldown on skills and animation time and they can be just as good as the others, but for now they suck very very bad

This was clearly the data the second poster asked for.

You can’t just come on here and say “omg they suck” with nothing to back it up or no one will take you seriously.

OP listen, I am trying not to sound horrible to you, but the topic has got to be the dumbest thing I have ever seen.

Of course the company that just spent millions of dollars, and years of their lives making CARES ABOUT AN IMPORTANT FEATURE OF THEIR GAME….

It’s been out a month not a “while” so just be patient…there is NO fee so you can leave if you want then come back when things are fixed….but as far as that question goes, that’s like us asking you “Do you think he asks stupid questions because banana?” It’s literally that mind boggling and makes about as much sense.

Regarding Arenanet’s patch speed for WvW, yes, everyone I know noticed it, and is annoyed and concerned about it in terms of what it means for the future of the game.

My personal concern is that their code and/or game patching process is a mess which is why it takes them so long to fix anything besides minor changes. Their live team might be really small aswell, and they are focussed on PvE right now.

My post was 100% in reply to your actual topic of “Do they care”…

yeah it was a post full of sound and thunder, signifying nothing

curious how you feel regarding the speed of their patches, even the times they mention wuvwuv in their path notes/wiki to do list (do they even?), participation in this section of the forums besides locking threads

i mean i get it, you think they care.. but what’re your thoughts on the issues?

faster? sit back and just wait? faster response? maybe even mention the issues plaguing GW2?

what’re your thoughts besides flaming me, share that

Listen man, I am not getting into this with you.

To answer your original question, yes they do care, it doesn’t even take half a brain to answer that.

For everything else, unless you have run a multi million dollar MMO at launch then you really have no knowledge of what goes on in the background, what is happening at ANet HQ, and how the “speed of patches” should even be.

You don’t direct the designers, developers and artists so you really don’t know and frankly neither does any of the random people you are asking on the forums.

I can 100% Tell you for a fact that a solution is, give them feedback and if you are really upset leave the game for a bit…it sounds cliche but it really is a “if you don’t like it don’t play it” situation.

This is ANet’s train and they are driving, we just bought a ticket to ride along.

If you take someone calling you out as flaming then you are clearly in a position of “Agree with me or you are trolling”…

The downed state needs to go all together in my opinion.

Glad your opinion won’t come to fruition.

The issue is that some classes have powerful stall tactics in their downed state, while others really don’t have much in terms of them.

Mainly I think the biggest problems lie with the wearker downed states, like Elementalist’s in particular could be a knockback or something.

The rest are ok, really. Everyone has a tool to stall enemies in order to get help and be revived except Elementalist. Mesmer’s, people’s biggest complaint, can actually hurt them because some people don’t know which to revive.

I know it wont come, doesn’t mean me and a LOT of other people find it to be more of an annoyance.

If anything EVERYONE should have the same downed state abilities with tailored animations specific for the class.

In other words, might look different but does the same thing.

But again, we are playing an MMO not Call of Duty and not everyone is thrilled you have to kill an enemy twice, also really giving the finger to ranged classes since there is no ranged stomp.

Commander - A PvE Title

in WvW

Posted by: Chris.7653

Chris.7653

I think people will end up paying no attention and actually avoiding commanders in the long term.

This is starting to happen on our server as the “average player” learns more about WvW and understands who the good leaders are.

You are right, but as of right now it’s split about 50-50 so it turns into people fighting among each other.

Half will state that we need to listen and the other half list the reason we have in this post mean while the “Commander” calls out targets and 70% of the time they are horribly wrong.

Like I said earlier, I think the commanders hurt more than help. I would rather a player do really well and become known on a server and start barking orders, like what happens in other game, or even just make it available by PvP achievements.

That way we all know they can call targets with a better understanding than someone who attacked a bunch of mobs, or killed at the trading post.

I literally had a commander saying in chat yesterday “I earned my gold at the trading post so that means I am smart, smarter than everyone else here so that’s why I can lead, because I am smarter than all of you” Keep in mind he used a max of 2 or 3 words per line and all caps.

BlueOrange is right, it does allow you to make raid groups, if (and I hope this happens) they take commander from those who bought it and change it to a achievement based award, I do not think they should take their ability to form raid groups.

and everyone is just sick of it, but no one else can suggest a strat without a few people trolling them who are following the commander.

So we are left right now in chaos because of a stupid blue icon.

The people who have the title might be good at earning money, or PvE’ing but a lot of them are not good in PvP and think because they have a blue icon they are better than everyone else which so far has just added to the chaos.

Guardians are not fine, and if you have more than one good guardian you can easily lock down two points if there team supports them well. Please don’t comment if you don’t have experience facing such builds/teams.

Slow your roll man, no need to jump all over him like that.

Have you thought about ways to counter it? Or would you just like ANet to make Guardians completely useless.

Commander - A PvE Title

in WvW

Posted by: Chris.7653

Chris.7653

Hello,

First off this post is not meant to offend anyone or be considered a troll, but an observation.

Not all Commanders are bad but a majority of what I have seen are very immature and flat out annoying commanders who think they are commanding their own army, and when 2 commanders get on that don’t like each other it is just plane chaos.

When I say annoying I mean commanders who

TALK
LIKE
THIS
ONE
WORD
PER
LINE

and completely spam the chat, and yes I know I could just ignore them but as you know this game is all about zerging and sometimes the zerg actually follows the little blue shiny so I need to know where it’s going.

So I know what you are thinking “What’s your point?” The reality of the situation is what makes these people good enough to lead pvp? Nothing really…I mean they get the commander title through PvE just by grinding 100g and buying a book.

In my opinion the Commander title/icon should be gotten through PvP achievements and that way you know the person sporting it has enough PvP experience to know what the heck they are talking about, instead we get people who don’t really PvP and overcompensate by literally telling people “Salute me there is a Commander on deck” and crap like that…

TLDR: Commander title should be obtained through PvP achievements, not PvE grinding and buying a book.

This game starts be Mesmers vs Guardian

Posted by: Chris.7653

Chris.7653

Ok i can see 1 who copy to 4, but when 2-3 starts runing around? 12 characters? Burst harder? Everyone at healthy brain know thats rip off HP over POWER is mistake. 18K HP is absolutly minimum for sPvP. And man… shielded shielded shielded? Guy is imortal for 4-5s so burst give nothing.

Before making yet ANOTHER thread on this, I suggest reading the forums and contributing to those threads.

As far as a lot of what you say, yes there are balance issues an ANet has come out and said that they want to fix the bugs and then address these issue (probably will be doing both at the same time)

One thing though that your post screams, is that you haven’t tried a lot of strategy when going against these classes. Both are fairly simple to counter and is handled differently by each class.

Guardians if they are tank specced are basically there to survive long enough to hold a point until back up arrives. If they are offensive then they are left with 13/14k HP and die very quickly unless they are good at bouncing in and out of the fight which is true with all classes.

Mesmer is easier, just look for the only one moving like it’s not a computer player, target them and put a bullseye above their head, now you are easily tracking the real one.

So please before you further contribute to the forums degradation please think of strategies and view other threads.

Analysis of GW2 WvW compared to DAoC RvR. [Long]

Why does every game have these DAoC fanatics?

We know it was a good game, we really do…STOP doing these comparisons. This is GW2 not DAoC…If you want DAoC then play that game…it’s the same thing people need to learn when it comes to WoW as well.

GW2 is it’s own game, if you want a clone of the others then its simple, just go play the others and leave GW2 to be it’s own game.

Commander Tag Character Only?

Posted by: Chris.7653

Chris.7653

Does anyone really think because you have a blue icon above your head people will listen to you?

In my experience, most will. You see, you seem to believe, wrongly, that people like to make their own decisions or won’t listen to someone with what looks like an authority tag.

Well, I hate to break it to you, but the majority of people actually like being sheeps and being lead, and they do so more willingly when they see the blue shield on the map because most of them have absolutely no clue otherwise.

I hate to break it to you as well my friend, but people will follow the most green dots they see on the map, not what someone that has a blue shield says.

We understand you like to be lead and thats great but the majority simply will not listen to you because you have a blue icon, they will just follow the big group of people.

Hilarious side note, that statement holds true in some weird circumstances. I literally watched an entire zerg run off a cliff and die, some 20 – 30 people died. When I finished laughing so hard I cried, it made me think back to the old days when my mom used to ask “Well if your friends jumped off a cliff would you?!”.

How is this relevant to commander being account-wide though?

Please read the post, as you can see it is in response to his message.

It is not your job to police these forums, kindly use the report button located in the lower right corner of this post if you believe I am in the wrong.

Other than that if you post (like you did) all you have done is further contribute to the problem you are commenting on by creating not only your post off topic, but my reply and any others who reply to it.

Thank you

Or you could use class synergy…I do believe Guardians can not only buff speed to get people in quicker, shield so they don’t get hit and do some decent healing….but they can also throw that nifty little line down that for a short time will block anyone running up to the wall to repair it.

Get enough Guardians on your server playing their class right and not LOL CHARGE!!!!! and you can beat that easy.

It really doesn’t help that much. Nor does it show you have any kind of tactical knowledge above anyone else.

If you earned it through achievements in PvP that would be one thing, but all it means is “Oh look on the map who had WAY to much time on their hands to grind gold”

Why isn't it free to respec traits?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Chris.7653

Chris.7653

You just explained why respecing costs (including travel to town) is limiting your choices, therefore contradicting your previous post.

Why only 2 free builds and not 3 free builds? Or 4?

I can’t believe people would argue against having the freedom to swap between builds with ease and convenience.

Ok for one…ANet can’t just give you everything, lets just get that out of the way now.

You can’t just have it to where you can swap with no penalty…it devalues a players roll and how they have built their character.

I think have 2 or 3 builds saved up would be the absolute worst idea you could possibly do.

I vote for ANet to keep it as is.

Posted by: Chris.7653

Chris.7653

Besides this is something that is in EVERY mmo, at least here it doesn’t scale with every respec, just with how many trait points you have.

As pointed out earlier, the original Guild Wars didn’t have this. Besides, wasn’t part of the idea of GW2 that it not be like other MMOs?

There is so much more for them to focus on, and to me this seems very petty.

For those of us that enjoy mixing up our builds, it’s not petty at all. Guild Wars 1 had literally hundreds of skills, a variety of attributes, and the ability to switch between them quite freely (at least after the initial period of making respecs cost). Creating different builds was part of the game; while it was optional, it was expected that players would do it, and the game design encouraged it.

And then Anet went and basically removed that aspect of the game from the sequel. So no, it’s not minor.

Say it with me:

“This. Is. Not. Guild. Wars. One.”

There, got that out of the way? Now here’s a tissue for your issue. The gold sinks in this game are not game breaking or even inconvenient. Get over it.

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

People need to stop being stuck in the past. This isn’t GW1, never will be.

Something needs to be done about the in-game flamers in PvP

in PvP

Posted by: Chris.7653

Chris.7653

I was just in a BG? (not sure if they’re called that in GW2 or not) Anyways…it was my first PVP match like EVER…and teams got autobalanced and we started losing. Some dude on my team kept telling me to go take the points, which I tryed to do and then 3 people came out of nowhere and started ganging up on me in-game and I died and he goes “you suck!” or something to that effect. I then told this player off and he goes “umad homie?” or something. I chewed the player out, then I put the player on ignore, and then reported him.

But idiots like that guy are a BIG problem in PVP and I feel like GM’s need to get on top of it. The same thing happens in WoW where there’s some PvP flamers in-game who completely ruin the competitive enjoyment by flaming other players…and something has to be done about them.

Oh yeah, the funniest part is that I got a “Top player” glory bonus on the right hand side and it was my first PVP match ever even though “I suck”.

Listen man, I know its frustrating but let me give you some advise.

When you replied telling him off…you did nothing but make him laugh his tail off on the other end and know that he got to you that bad and that he was under your skin, which is a victory to him.

Reporting him will do nothing because he hasn’t done anything wrong. Yeah it’s annoying but all you have to do is block him instead of getting in a shouting match.

There is really nothing ANet can do other than not allow the 2 sides to talk to each other, but they could still send you direct messages.

Don’t let the 12 yr olds get to you and don’t act like them either by “telling them off” that does nothing but make them laugh at you more.

This cheap parlor trick you use to Cull the amount of things rendered to make your engine seem better then it is is getting old real fast…..

I may of lagged like hell in SWTOR, and in DAOC, but at least I could bloody see the targets 2 feet in front of me.

9/10 when I die in PvP, it’s to something I can’t see, I have to scroll up and realize that it was some melee class beating on me that was invisible because you put a moronic limit on the amount of players I can see..

It’s simply not fun, I would rather lag like hell and at least know where to possibly kite away from. Or know when to run for that matter…

So either bloody fix this crap, or this will never be a true PvP game.

Whoa whoa, calm down a second…are you sure some of this isn’t on you end as well?

I have been in MASSIVE fights and I see everyone just fine.

As for straight calling out that this will never be a pvp game, that is simply untrue even if you are experiencing those issues.

I have noticed a trend on these forums lately (much like all other mmo forums)

These people just want to be handed everything, and if they have to work for something then it’s ANet’s fault and they are ruining the game.

I have seen posts complaining about traits not being FREE to reset, gear being to hard to get and they had spent an entire 2 days trying and hadn’t gotten their set yet, and now this one.

The game isn’t a easy one, maybe get some friends and try the quest if it is to hard…this is a social game.

If you need money, find ways to ear it, you wont be spoon fed everything…it’s up to YOU to make your own adventure.

It’s a gold-sink…end of story.

Lack of players is also a gold sink. Hard measures shouldn’t get in the way of fun or easily bypassed (like teleporting to LA via hero panel).

This isn’t getting in the way of anything. ANet isn’t taking a daily tax from people.

You are the one who decides what spec you want to play. If you want to play support then spec support, if you stop wanting to play that spend a little silver and change it over.

ANet isn’t deciding to randomly charge you money….Besides this is something that is in EVERY mmo, at least here it doesn’t scale with every respec, just with how many trait points you have.

Heck you could be a level 20 in “The game that shall not be named” and have a 50 gold respec bill that only goes down 10 gold a MONTH…

There is so much more for them to focus on, and to me this seems very petty.

Why isn't it free to respec traits?

I don’t get why you think it’s so expensive.

At level 70 mine if only 2 silver 85 copper, if you don’t have that at level 70 you are doing something wrong.

How often are you respecing? At high level 70+ one heart should cover or almost cover a respec from what I have seen.

WvW Guardian Ideas

Hey all,

I really love the Guardian class and even thought behind the Guardian lore itself.

Lately I have seen a lot of “Guardians are bad in WvW” and while I agree, instead of sitting around complaining about it, I thought it would be nice to do something about it.

Lets all start listing areas where the Guardian is strong in WvW. Maybe even list specific instances where you were glad to be a Guardian in WvW.

The point is to share knowledge and show things other people might not have thought of.

Thanks!

Let me clear the air on the OPs intentions.

What does he expect from GW2?

Ding 80 “What’s this I got mail?” “It’s full of legendaries!!!!”

3 days later “ANet fix your game, there is nothing to do, I already have all the best gear and I am bored now”

I think I might be able to solve this problem right here and now for you.

This is the way the current state of the game is. This is how it was designed. This is how it was in the beta events you were invited to. While ANet likes feedback, you paid for THIS game.

If you do not like the current state of the game I would encourage you to find another game more suited to your needs and check back on this one from time to time to see if it is progressing in the direction you want.

I really don’t like to see anyone unhappy in any game they play, but part of that responsibility falls on the player themselves to recognize when they are not having fun and stop spending time in the game.

My point is, if you want to play the game how it is, play it…if you don’t like it and don’t agree don’t play it. The choice is yours, but please stop getting so worked up over it…whether you choose to play or not it’s still just a game and will eventually be gone years from now.

You are wrong, the logic of “find another game” is soooo bogus. We payed for a product that was enjoyable yes? and now they have changed the parameters of the product, so, we as consumers are voicing our opinions. You can call this “Free to play” but we payed 60 bucks for it and now they are funneling us into have to purchase more from them for the EXACT same experience we were getting a few weeks ago. HOW DO YOU NOT SEE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THAT?

Because we paid for the game as it is and under the understanding that it will be tweaked and changed as time passes.

There is nothing wrong about voicing your opinion but you are going a tad overboard becoming a little to passionate about it (for lack of a better word).

As far as the 60 dollars go, you reached 80 in 3 days and have been playing presumably for hours a day. You have already achieved what most games give you or 60 dollars.

I am not saying I like, or agree with the Gem store, but what I am trying to get across to you is that people are generally listened to more when they are not bowing up shouting at people and making political remarks. At that point you just come off as a blow hard who wants to complain.

The “argument” of play something else very much so holds up, whether it’s a free to play game or not if people stop playing they will take notice. The less people playing, the more “it’s dying” stigma comes about, less new players will buy it because of that and without people in the game no one will buy the Gems from the gem store and they will lose out on money.

So in short, yes the point of “if you don’t like it play something else” holds more weight than coming to the forums and blowing up at the user base.

good job Trion Riot ArenaNet

Well played. I’m OK with things taking time, but when you can actively see them expanding on that ammount of time it’s aggravating. I got a full time job and a partimer, I don’t have the time to farm for a few hours a day.

Then don’t farm for a few hours a day, why do you even need to? Because you want everything right now?

Dudes got a point…you have a choice…

I also chose to buy the game and play it the way I would like to. I have a choice to shoot myself in the head but I don’t. “You have a choice” That’s a weak reason. that’s like saying: You can either die in a fire, or slowly die from the temperature in your body increasing. “Well you had a choice” By voicing my opinion I have constructed a discussion to create new avenues. More “Choices” as it were. Please contribute to the conversation rather than just saying: “everything is alright” wait no, you can even say that, but don;t just regurgitate what you hear like a republican bobble head, think, construct, speak.

So what I am seeing by this is “I choose to play the game how I want to, I choose to grind” then turn around and saying “This is to much of a grind I hate it”. Then attempt some political slander….

Makes sense.
