Guild Wars 2

Well, Mai Trin in lvl 33 has undodgeable teleport shots which procs twice for extra damage if on the side or back.

Wait that attack is STILL undodgeable?
That’s just horrible design. Why should our most important means of damage mitigation be disabled arbitrarily on this one attack?

Literally just did it with 2x war ele guard and ranger.
not being able to dodge thos is horrible design but you can reflect and block them.
Also skills that grant immunity and damage set to 0 (endure pain etc.) work.

Just had a look at the Grenth hood in the pvp locker.

On charr it clips with every chestpiece. Literally every single one
and this is on the default body proportions.

On humans it clips on some, among others the dredge chestplate, the nightmare chestplate and the very popular arah chestplate on heavy.

Magitech coat, flame legion coat, orrian coat and nightmare coat on medium

Orrian vest, tactical vest and flame legion vest on light armor
as well as many shoudlerpieces across all armor classes.

You want €5 for this? Not from this sad kitty

Aside from Scarlett and the many bugs nobody over at anet noticed?

Probably the first LS i didn’t like at all, seriously. Instructions are unclear
and my party ended up running around aimlessly for a long time.
Endfight was good but at that point I was so frustrated that i couldn’t enjoy it.

You know it’s Scarlet when the forums explode with hate threads about her.

don’t you think that’s kind of a problem though.

Not for this lead writer woman though. She already stated that Scarlett is her favourite
character and she seems a bit fond of her, erm, let’s call it ‘writing abilities’ so
expect a lot more of miss cookie cutter joker knockoff.

OT: you know it’s Scarlett, when you want to do Teq and get into overflow :/

Considering i pay less than half that in other games for skins
I guess I can expect at least something original and not a
cheap knockoff of already existing armor.

I did 30, 31, 32 today and was fairly easy, except 4th map on 32 with the molten bosses wich are OP. The old bugs are still there, I wonder what did they “fix” … Oh, got a staff skin and a Momentum Sigil drop, + a lot of rares + few exotics, so at least from this point of view A Net improved.

you are lucky then

i got few blues, few greens, 3 rares, 1 ascended ring (not infused), that i obviously don’t need… no skin, no exotics, no recipes, nada… GG

Same here; 4 rares and a useless ring that takes up another bank slot.
I have a bit more than 100% mf

Next LS will be a copypaste from last years wintersday so there’s
no way Scarlett is involved.

Or is there? Dun dun duuuun.

They do have voiceovers in english. I don’t know if Scarlett/kiel even have german voice actors.

Ezekiel.1985:

Not exactly helping me on the details…lol

You come in – trashmobs – ooze bossfight – collect some parts from around the reactor and bring them in a room – you then see scarlett in the center saying how she did all of it – bossfight with a human shaped energy thing – the end

seriously, there isn’t anymore to it

50% reduction would be fine

150% reduction would be a start

Hopefully this is a joke, if not “Lol” and such.
Also; a 20% nerf tops would be sufficient. Any more than that and it’s completely useless AGAIN. x.X (don’t play warrior)

If every warrior always picks up healing signet amongst the other choices, then that’s silly. IMO healing and utility skills should be toned down or brought up so that the player will have some kind of tough choice to make. If this does not happen, it means the other skills are useless or the ones always picked are too good or borderline broken. Just sayin.

That’s because the other healing skills are bad, not HS being too good.

Meanwhile the boss in ‘colossus’ is still bugged.

Asia Skyly.7198:

The reward should have been 1g/10 levels with silver increments in between. 1g/level 10, 2g/lvl20… 4.5g for level 45… 5g/level 50.

Nah man, that would be reasonable. shudder

who tested this?

Meanwhile at ArenatNet:

Time travel. Just saying.

Harper.4173:

Serves all of you who voted for Kiel right. At least with the other fractal there was no way they could have introduced Scarlet into it.

C’est la vie.

You really think so? I bet somehow they could have made Scarlett
the mastermind behind all this and i bet my kitten they would have.

Zach.3264:

Why create a thread about this when there already is one. Especially when they’ve actually put some effort into it, unlike your ill attempt.

By ‘put effort into it’ you are reffering to slapping cheap particles on already existing armor?

After talking to other it seems you need to disable the gooey wall in front of the
cooling sockets through a console in the room with the turrets.
Apparently it is possible to complete the level without that since my group
did just that. We somehow got all cells, god knows how but after ages of looking someone found the last.

And guess who is behind all this? Normally I like the LS but this release was just garbage. Hopefully they’ll release something along the lines of queens pavillion again soon.

€10 for existing skins with fire slapped on them?!
are you kidding me?

My group is also completely lost. From what i’ve seen you need three,
one after the blob, one is in the room with the energy shields.
There are also 1 console that doesn’t do anything upon interaction in the blob chamber and one in the shield chamber. There is also one in the shield chamber
behind a barrier but it doesn’t disappear, even after using the first console.

GG anet, great job in communicating what to do to the players.
This release is just fail…

buggy piece of carp. no communication on what to do or where to go and no possibility to respawn. worst content ever to be added to the game.

who tested this?

nobody it seems

Elxdark.9702:

I don’t understand one thing, if you don’t care about leaderboards then why would you be upset if people get a reward?

Does the title bother you in someway? Don’t worry, titles won’t make you better at this game.

Just read the first post again. The OP isn’t upset about the possibility of people getting rewards, he/she is upset about people wanting to be rewarded.

Still an issue and no official response.

Michael.1520:

Have not played for moths came back recently and having this problem. Is it not getting fixed, is there anything I can do?

There are numerous threads about people experiencing this
recently, especially since the halloween update. I have this problem
since the patch 2 weeks ago but from the lack of red responses you can see,
Anet doesn’t give a kitten about a small minority of players

Mladi Bojevnik.2517:

Kstyle.5829:

infested with non English speakers .

If you are such a linguist yourself what do you care what language they speak.

Only applies if you play on a EU server. Fun fact: Language spoken by the majority of people in europe is german. Why should people adapt to a minority?

Other than that: yes, it’s luck which team has more spamgeneers.

/bump

I’m not going to shut up before this is fixed!

Let’s wait how the new rewards system turns out but i wouldn’t hold my breath…
Why they haven’t made LS skins obtainable through the achievement panel like
hellfire/radiant yet is beyond me :/

I liked the stream but it is amusing that the same people who thought
skyhammer was a good idea for solo queue talk about
“good map design”.
Seriously, what were you thinking? That abomination belongs in hotjoin
but not in a competitive environment!

/bump

tried everything. still the same problem

DanyK.3842:

I played regen/bunker sword + wh mace + shield warrior and our main strat was to have 1 person on all 3 points once we 3 capped and I’d move wherever the enemy pressured with the most players as taking me out with that build was just too hard for even 3 players while I didn’t really do much damage myself. The pros of the build are: team support with low dps stunlock chain, banner of defense gave perma regen and extra stats for anyone else on the point, warbanner for insta res in clutch situations which won us 2v2’s and 2v3’s and the overall tankiness, AoE condi removal and burst support make this build good for a mobile bunker. Best thing is dec 10 will leave this build untouched.

Currently playing the build you described. How can you survive against
more than 2 people? Because the way you said it wasn’t just: I can stand my ground
until reinforcements arrive but rather: they were never gonna kill me with 3 people.
Sounds a bit unrealistic with only shield block mace #2 and traited endure pain
at 25% against physical damage. Especially since this build doen’t have burst healing.

bromi.7809:

I’m very, very sorry; since when ‘OP’ <25% ANY character doesn’t die from simple burst of almost any class?
You play condition meta, ask nerf conditions and at the same time whine on smth (AR) that just calls for burst… are you hearing yourself?

Automated immunity is bad design. Giving people more
tools to deal with applied conditions is one thing. Making them
immune below a certain threshold is another as it hardcounters
any condition build. Again, an advantage due to build is fine,
the fact that a certain type of damage flat out doesn’t work is not.
That’s the same as if warriors had a GM trait in defense that gives them
immunity to physical damage below 25% health.

And please don’t come with warrior zerker stance. It only lasts 8 seconds
(52 secs downtime!) and he has to give up a utility slot.

1) How long did it take to create Skyhammer compared
to Spirit watch and Temple of the silent storm?

2) How long did it take to create the initial maps that were ready at release
and which one do you think is the best/most fun to play?

3)Are there any plans to release more maps
that feature underwater combat or do you think it is neccessary
to overhaul UW combat first to make it worthwhile for PvP?

this is what i normally get:

Maybe i should add that the screen attached was after my last d/c which put me
to character select.
Normally i get a blackscreen with a notification that the client lost connection to the server and i have to alt f4 out and restart the launcher.

After that the game will fail to connect to the login servers twice (timeout i guess)
and i can log in again at the third attempt (every time)

I’m experiencing many disconnects during spvp
either when a solo queue match pops, normally when the notification
is displayed that the system has found a match or during a match
and i think it has to do something of how the team rosters load.

Anyone who played spvp knows that sometimes when a teammate dies,
his hp bar at the edge of the screen will disappear and reappear as full.
I think the disconnects appear sometimes when the game tries to
refresh the roster.
That would also explainwhy i get d/c’ed before the start when the game loads the roster.

edit: disregard that. i just had a d/c totally at random! again…
screen attached, not a complete client crash though :/

Any suggestions? Firewall is down btw, I tried that one already.

Seriously, i got d/c’ed again multiple times today.
This only happens in spvp – solo queue and only in gw2.
I never had that kind of problem in other games
and the last times it was my providers fault I
couldn’t access the internet was when the first
‘band of brother’ game came out and that was quite some time ago.

Other people from EU seem to have the same kind of connectivity problem.
I don’t care for d/cs in pve since it’s only a few silver and running from the nearest wp
but in spvp? I don’t like screwing 4 other people over and i know it is
anet fault for crappy servers or whatever.

I know a server programmer reads these forums regularly so
I’ll just ask directly; is this on your radar?

good to know, i’ll just hold on to mine then :P
‘dwindling’ numbers of players inside the tower
is an understatement. almost nobody does it anymore
because other things are way more rewarding so i guess
supply isn’t refreshed anymore since the droprate
seems to be not very high to begin with.

Spilluminati.3295:

Yeah I’ve been messing around with this “Hunter” build lately: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fIAQNAU3XjcOtwJP+OMxBAzDjCqI1D7cLuUBxA-TgAg0CnIKSVkrITRyisFB

Centers around snaring with leg specialist and then DPSing opponents down with the two highest coeficient burst skills in rifle and axe. Completely glass so you’ll eat it frequently if you get caught out of position, but man it’s a blast when it works and you’re sniping people for half their health bar!

Personally I prefer having 10 points in Arms so you can have Crack Shot, piercing shots and a cooldown reduction are really good. Especially when you’re hitting multiple people with Killshot and Volley.

Crack shot requires 20 pts. You have to give up either berserker’s power and 100 power or burst mastery and 10% crit dmg. Piercing shots are pretty useful but enough to justify that?

Hi fellow warriors.

Quick question: are there any builds for spvp
involving the rifle? Doesn’t have to be effective
in arena but should be at least competent in what it does for hotjoin.

Thanks!

This build will probably work only against very bad opponents.
I mean, looking at your combat log:
rifle butt, then immediatly killshot, two warriors so no screen clutter with ai mobs.
Anyone who plays pvp longer than a week could dodge that.
Is that soloq? Why are you playing a trollspecc in solo queue?
He isn’t completely wrong in saying that that specc doesn’t help your team at all.
On the other hand: who plays a class in arena if it’s his first day :/
Questions above questions…

edit: you forgot to take his name out in one line of the combat log

A: yes if no one comes to your point, but don’t fully engage, be ready to get back to your point quickly.

That’s exactly the problem; this build has mediocre to bad mobility.
While i know that not staying on home is important i’d like to know if it’s worth the risk to go away and help in teamfights.

A: Depends on your team comp, if you are the bunkeriest bunker on the team, go to mid, though you should have that role in mind when buildcrafting if you want to be a mid bunker. Don’t worry about bursting the npcs, only kill them if the enemy team are killing it and you can steal. (as a general rule)

Well, in soloq the communication can be quite a problem and normally ther is at least on person on either team to kill the npcs.

A: You may hate me for this but, this one is a matter of practice. As a bunker you should not be being killed ‘easily’ by thieves/glass cannons. It might take some time, but keep practising.

I wasn’t talking about myself; i can survive burst speccs quite well.
What i meant was: if i move to mid and leave the home cap to someone else
with a non bunker specc he/she is in danger of getting ganked and we lose
close/far and mid is contested. My question should rather be:
Is a bunker in teamfights very important and is the build i posted
supportive enough to justify going mid from the start.

A: you may get away with this, but treb is far too far away from close to really justify this unless your team needs the help on mid that badly. I would suggest trying to help the teamfights in other ways.

good to know, thanks

A: It is not the bunker’s ‘job’, but it is important. Try to help your team with tranq/still, don’t worry too much about ferocity. I commonly help at tranquility as it really is a game changer. I would say don’t go to a buff if you are in a fight on a point that you own.

so tranq is priority #1 but only if i am idle waiting for something to happen on my node?

A: I really don’t know, not a warrior, though I do enjoy a good banner res. You should be aware that you aren’t removing conditions from allies with CI/zerk stance

What i meant was converting and removing condis with warhorn +reduced cd.
Works like a charm in teamfights against condi spam, especially together with a guardian. I know, warriors are the center of attention right now but
cond spam from necros and especially engineers is a common scenario
and it works a bit too well for my liking.

I’m not asking how to play my classe; much rather how a good bunker should behave
in different situations.
Let’s assume I go close first, is it a good idea to help out in mid
after that considering my low mobility or stay in case the enemy has
roamers for decapping far?
The easiest maps are foefire and spirit watch because of the little time
it takes to get from mid to far/close so i’m specifically asking for kylo
and niflhel.

Is it even a good idea to go close first as a bunker in forest considering
the capper normally bursts the npcs or should I straight head for mid?
There’s also the danger of the enemie having burst roamers who can
gank the person guarding close easily. (I have seen enough thieves with insane
burst potential)

Is it considered useful to leave home in kylo to treb mid during a teamfight or should that always do a light armor who is not as useful in team scenarios?

Is it the bunkers job to secure the buffs on the kodan map?
If yes, which ones? Tranquility seems a little bit of a hassle, again
because of low mobility.

I’m using this build and doing more than well in arena.
http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=-sBxF-0-NKVP0f4ZKVQ0;9;49-TT-2;308A48A;1Uok67;1TsW6TsW66NN

Would you consider it to be more of a team support since it has very good buff/cond removal potenital, ressing due to banner and stomp/ress interrupts on the offset
or would it be better to solo bunk close with SoR instead of BS?

Thanks in advance.

hotjoin a/a is quite fun with 50% increased dmg on #5
otherwise; no. speaking from spvp perspective

The only thing i hate are vague thread titles.

JinDaVikk.7291:

Complaints incoming:

3: If rank 1-40 get access to legendaries I’ll be kitten ed as well.

If you want a rank requirement, won’t that just drive people into
even more skyhammer farming?

Nary Why Irk.8150:

its troll. read the finishers xD

those finishers have already been datamined from the game since last patch,
they are real.

where’d you get those? reddit?

I am so glad this thread exists! Don’t get me wrong, being matched with
players outside your league must be a bad experience but that’s how
it was for me the past few days too.
Now i’m playing bunker and secure close most of the time in order for my team
to concentrate on mid but even though I try everything we lose 3 out of 4 matches
and really don’t know why. I’ve got a good understanding of every class and
know what is important in a conquest style game but my team
seems to be composed of mostly bad players who zerg offpoint or lose
even though outnumbering the enemy. (don’t mind the occasional far-rusher who ends up losing the 1v1 anyway…)
I thought it was my fault for not carrying my team hard enough even though there doesn’t seem to be anymore a single person can do.

I feel for you and sincerely hope matchmaking gets better, but seeing as others suffer the same problem is quite reassuring that it’s a flaw in the system

Also i was matched yesterday with edo tensei several times even though i am rank 27
and have about 40 tournaments played and he supposedly is in top 50.
That happened at primetime friday evening! Nobody can tell me there aren’t enough players to compose the matches accordingly. It’s flattering that the system thinks we are of the same skill level but really, those fights are just
a waste of everyones time.

You have to admit, it’s really strange when i spend years gaming without any kind of connectivity problems and even within gw2 only this particular gamemode is affected.
I’ve been playing the game since release and started pvp’ing shortly after, basically only hotjoin for casual fun and never had any dc’s in over a year.

Recently i got into tpvp and only i get dc’ed there. Certainly seems strange to me.

Mash Hog.5672:

You got randomly disconnected 5 times in 24 hours?
Maybe you should fix your interwebs.
You’re having a negative impact on any team you’re on because you keep dcing.

Never had that problem in any other game as long as i have the interwebz, which is quite some time now. I also never experienced that in another gamemode, only solo queue so i’m pretty sure the mistake is not on my end.
