What is more sad to me is that this is probably not even the developers fault. Based on what I have read over the years, the devs are just so limited by the management that they cannot develop anything real. Such as their inability to know the basics of good business.

Broken record moment. Nearly every successful business has always thought in the long run. Key word, nearly. Not saying all but you get it. When you build a computer do you build for now? No, you build for the future, when you fix up a car, do you buy parts for tomorrow? No, you buy for years down the road so it is as easy to maintain as possible. Why should this game be any different?

It has been proven time and time again that if you just wait and take your time with development and release a solid quality product/content whatever you want to call it, the community will be more pleased then releasing half baked products/content like a machine gun. This Living Story thing is a joke and it always will be. It has a story yes, but the execution is the worst I have ever seen. Giving no time to any of the writers to make a good solid story, they are forced to just put it out asap. And this pans out to every aspect of this game and it is heart breaking, truly heart breaking.

As I said before, Guild Wars 2 is not long for this world with this sort of business model/thinking. No business has ever thrived and is excepted by the sane public by doing this. Your reputation is your biggest product, if you lose your reputation then you lose your product, it is as simple as that.

I felt I needed to clarify what I meant when I said “Anet”. I am not saying the dev’s arent a part of this but from what I see this is a management screw up. In my business I will never ever ever let a suit manage a game. They have no interest in it. You must have a love for your product or you mine as well toss it out.

TL/DR When you let someone who doesn’t have a love for the product take over, the product is doomed to fail eventually. You can try and try and try to hype it all into the sky but in the long run, you will fail I can promise you that. Guild Wars 1 was a masterpiece. Some of the best PvP/PvE I have ever seen in an MMO. Guild Wars 2 is the worst PvP/PvE I have ever seen in an MMO (That is functioning).

So....Yeah....how long...

In reference to the ones trying to justify this.

Don’t try to defend this crap, it is killing servers. FA crumbled a while ago cus of it. HoD , SoR, Crystal Desert. The list goes on. Fa recovered as did some others but the point is simple. The match making in this game is broken. If it has one at all.

I expect a “professional” to know what they are doing to fix a problem but it seems like they couldn’t give a crap about it. The CDI is a smoke and mirrors thing, it shows from the last feature patch when nothing from the WvW suggestions made it to it. Which also says that if they truly gave a crap about the game in any real way, they wouldn’t need the CDI. They would just skim and pick up ideas here and there.

Anet is on the track of failure because of the rookie mistake of thinking in the short term, vs the long term. It is a mistake a lot of new people into the business make because it looks great at first, until you see how it is starting to fail in the longer run, and you start to panic and make more of the product to try and keep up. You end up on a treadmill of trying to pump out content and will eventually run yourself dry.

Perfect example is the CoD and Battlefield franchise. Think short term and yer just shooting yourself in the foot.

Anet has to notice that if they truly want to have a popular game with a really long lifespan they need to start adding in content to EVERY game mode. ignoring certain things is only going to hurt you in the long run.

I could keep going but I am sure that I have dangled enough fan-boy bait already so I will just sit back and watch the fireworks.

TL/DR, don’t make a stupid comment trying to defend a dead end thinking. Instead Anet you need to think longterm, you will always succeed doing that, ALWAYS. The excuse of " We are working hard" is not going to help at all anymore. You have run out of time, time to pay up (so to speak). What have you been working on all these years for WvW?

Until we can see a new system for the matching in this game? I mean it took you guys/gals 2 years to add 3 colors, I am worried at how long it will take to actually add something useful to the game.

This is not WvW. This is just map completion now. Seasons have done nothing to this either. This started to happen well before.

THIS…IS..NOT..FUUN. Get it through your head Anet lol seriously. Why are you ignoring this so adamantly. And no, saying “We are excited (Insert flawed addition here)” 50 times won’t make any difference.

TL/DR Chop Chop Anet, you have had nearly 3 years to fix,repair and add content of long term success. Patience is wearing thin from your remaining supporters

If your community is so angry at you Anet for the clear neglect to WvW that they will go out of their way to just cause havoc here to get your attention.

I think it is time to do something about it instead of hiding behind a wall of censorship and infractions.

This wasn’t some “to prove a point” thing, this was a full blown riot from a group of people that spiraled out of control.

Instead of censoring everything and trying to hide all of this, solve it. The problem goes away when you solve it. Covering your eyes and yelling
NANANANANANANANANANANa I CAN"T HEAR YOU is just being childish and foolish.

If you want real results and respect from the community, you need to seriously buckle down and start giving input or just the occasional pass on a forum and not just hide and try to justify it by saying people get mad at you.

It is like the Charr armor clipping issues. You broke it, nobody plays it, nobody plays it, you won’t fix it, nobody plays it, and it just spirals on forever.

I havn’t spoken in these forums since my post got deleted because I gave a real critique on the living story. But this is out of control and I feel I needed to say this.

The Warrior Meta Paradox

in Profession Balance

Posted by: Curby.4897

Curby.4897

Okay, as a seasoned Warrior I have to say something to this.

This whole stance people take that Warriors have no weakness is just ignorant or an attempt to cause waves because I am and I hope many many others have noticed the 3 big weaknesses of the Warrior.

Yes.. only 3 but they are massive weaknesses and when exploited the Warrior falls apart.

Yes we have a rifle/longbow so range is something we have and when specialized it can pump out some damage but those types of Warriors outside of a blob are few and far between because.. believe it or not they are hard to use for mainly the games faulty mechanics of always needing to be in front of someone in order to channel a skill (Volley). I think a Necro can agree with me here.

ANYWAY here are the 3 key weaknesses that people seem to be over looking.

1. Conditions… Literally the only way for us to bypass them is Berserker Stance which is only 8 seconds -10 if specialized with a 60s cooldown. Small window to deny them. Outside of that, if the Warrior is not good enough to pay attention the person will be condi bombed into the ground. This ties into the second massive weakness.

2. Kiting. If a Warrior cannot stay in range to basically keep swinging they will once again.. fall apart. A Warrior thrives on constantly dealing damage, but everything a Warrior has is designed to stay in combat (Sustain) and just keep plugging away at someones hp finishing them off with a massive burst.

3. This one is hard to explain and I would imagine only a select few can understand this one but the Warriors final key weakness is a combination of two things. Telegraphed skills and being out damaged on their own terms.

A Warrior has massive dps and burst I know but when a Warrior is up against someone who can dish it right back at them it is very very hard for the Warrior to keep up because it basically penalizes the person for being aggressive which is the only way for a warrior to stay alive outside being a wet noodle tank. A skilled player will wait for the heavy hitting skills and dodge them and just pound away at the Warrior because the person has nothing else to bring to the fight if the person is getting out dps’d by the other player. A good Warrior will find a way but the general population panics and tries to run away or just swing more and die wondering why did they just get owned by that Thief or that Mesmer who just burned through their HP by playing smart.

TL/DR. The Warrior has not as many weaknesses but the ones we do have are very strong weaknesses that range from being condi bombed, to kited, to being met on their own grounds with just out damaging them and dodging the key skills.

The average player that complains/debates w/e you wanna call it that a Warrior is OP is someone who keeps going right back at the Warrior with the same setup expecting it to work the next 10 times and then raging out when they cannot beat them. Unknowingly eating the Eviscerates or trying to dps under an Earthshaker or taking the Killshot to the face.

I tell this to every single person I help train for PvP/WvW… there will always be someone better then you, there will always be someone with a better (Cheesy) build then yours. It will always happen.

That is all I gotta say about this.

Blindly following a company that is ignoring 2/4 of their customers is not worth buying gems at all. CDI was just damage control. If they truly gave a crap about anything they would have done it already. Just look at the Sarcx video about how the dev’s raged over the critics comments to their ideas and ways to the pvp and wvw systems.

Anet is in love with their PvE stuff which is not wrong… if they didn’t ignore the other aspects of the game like the pathetic attempt at Esports with the PvP crap that really… is not gunna take off with their current attitude. It is hit or miss atm with them. GvG has actually been trolled by a dev so there is 1/4 of the game, and WvW is just not even looked at, at all anymore so there is the other 1/4.

Ive followed Guild Wars since the beginning of the release and have always love Anet. But now they are just like any other company out there. They have totally lost what made them great in the first place which was a snappy, competitive PvP (GvG etc etc) and a gripping lore backing everything. Now it is just a shadow of its former self and iti is truly disappointing to see them fall down this dark path.

I will keep playing but it will be just like an over priced chat log to me then anything now.

The character model and the hit box of the Dolyak Supply Cows are out of sync when they are given increased movement speed. The only way to resync them is to CC them. Been a long time since a REAL WvW fix was addressed can this be one of the. It just robbed me of a Dolly gank to rob supply because the box was not where it was suppose to be and I got ganked in the process trying to find it.

Remove down state from PvP/WvW

Curby.4897

I am getting sooo sick and tired of people who rally off of something random.

I have solod outnumbered fights several times, I cannot down them yet because I am still dealing with the final one, then all of a sudden, they all rally up from a random npc that rolls in and by then I am low hp with cd’s because I am beating up the last guy and they all dog pile me and I die.

Anet if yer determined to get yer precious gem sales then you won’t need to worry because instead of this stupid down state for PvP/WvW for finishers, make the finisher pop up when you kill someone.

If you’re dead, you’re dead. You took a Killshot to the face with full endurance you deserve to stay dead. Remove downed state and make finisher proc from a kill not an execute.

So since Anet won’t fix anything apparently, I yet again, got dc’d for no reason at all. (4th time this week). I spent 6g on guild catas and got the wall down to nearly half of a maxed wall and the game kicks me out for no reason. I come back and because we didnt have a 4th to man the 4th cata the wall got scouted and we were zerged.

Since you guys clearly have no drive to fix anything, can I get my gold back for those catas. Thanks.

When it says no signal, that means the cable/monitor/gpu is bad. If you have duel cards make sure it is in the right plug. If not make sure it is plugged in fully, also make sure the monitor is also plugged into it fully. Make sure the GPU is seated correctly and fully ( Should hear a click). Also make sure the cable isn’t damaged (pins, plugs, etc).

Other then this, I think yer cable is bad, just grab another one.

Condi Counter

in Warrior

Posted by: Curby.4897

Curby.4897

Okay, I have tried and tried and tried. Now I need the community to assist. I have been getting dominated by conditions. I just cannot seem to find a consistent counter to conditions without sacrificing all of my damage if not most of it.

My current setup is Full Zerker + Melandru or Strength Runes. GS/M-SH or Axe-SH/Rifle (Depending on the grouping).

I use Butternut Food or Leek Soup and Maintenance Oil.

I use 6/0/4/0/4. I try to utilize Cleansing Ire but … BLIIIINNNDDDDDD. Holy crap this condition just ruins me. Basically it makes EVERYTHING MISS. Even shouts/non-targeting skills (Longbow pulsing effect). If I am blind my Cleansing Ire does NOT remove the conditions from me and I just get melted.

Any thoughts or suggestions? It is mainly just the blind that is ruining me.

I understand that you die from conditions.. I really do, I have died to just flat out being outplayed, it happens I know. But in some cases the person is a total scrub and I just get dominated because they can just sit back, blind spam, and there isn’t crap I can do about it.

This is for WvW Roaming with GS/M-SH and Havocing with Axe-SH/Rifle.

I’m not getting the lag necessarily. I’m just getting the disconnects – I’m assuming by disconnects you mean game crashes? I get the little window saying GW2.exe blah blah blah, would you like to send a report to Anet.

It happens when I approach a gate in WvW or in large battles. Of course the fps slows down in large battles but never before had game crashes.

Disconnects and Crashing are two totally different things.

Its just sad really. I am a veteran Warrior myself, I laugh when I get called a noob because I am Warrior cus atm, killing anybody is like the hardest thing ive ever had to try to do in this POS game after this patch, I get so many condis piled on me and I cannot remove them at all. Anet will not, and has not ever listened to anyone, I said it before when the Damage Control post AKA, CDI and the mass censorship came out “If they really wanted to listen to people they would have done it a long time ago”. Need I say more on it?

Nice work Anet, you pretty much made Warriors have to use the stupid axe and even then, since yer humping the condi meta, I can’t get near them cus I get condi bombed into the ground (Even when using Cavalier + Melandru). Take the interns off of the balance mechanics, cus they suck at it.

I understand that. But obviously Anet didn’t do any research into this because that type of nerf is just…. its not a nerf, as I said its un playable in certain moments.

Curby.4897

Wow Anet… really? Full Zerker Warrior hammer, and I am dropped from 93 crit damage to 65 ish.

Yet my survival is still at the scale of a zerker. Soooo… do you just not want us to do what we are meant to do? Tank n Spank in PvE, and Disrupt and Spike in PvP/WvW? Seems every time Warriors work around your “Balancing” you smack us with a nerf bat.

If you wanted to buff the Warriors only to just nerf us back to what we were back in the early days then why did you buff us in the first place. I have spent a lot of time on this class and spent a lot of gold (at times money for stones). I have made build after build and you just keep nerfing them all. NO I DON"T PLAY HAMBOW SO MOVE ON.

Hammer is my weapon, it will always be. If Anet wants it to stop you have to remove it from the game when/if that happens I will continue to use it.

Today I saw a nerf to my damage so great that i lost 50% of my total damage output. 8k crits down to 4k crits at best. This isn’t a balance or even a nerf, this is just outright not usable with zerker anymore. I am not even full zerker all the time and I still drop like a stone because I cannot out damage my enemy.

This will probably be trolled/deleted but the real early day Warriors will understand this really stupid path Anet has been taking with us. If you didn’t want us being the sluggers in the game then don’t make a class that way in the first place.

So…. gonna keep encouraging zerging huh Anet? Season 2 is a total disaster on nearly every match up. I think from a post (That you deleted BTW) there is only ONE server match that is NOT a blowout.

Every time I step into WvW/OS it is just the same thing over and over. Whoever can burn their skills first, typically wins. When one of those people try to actually be.. you know… good? We are greeted with skills canceling out, animation bugs, delays in skill chaining, the list goes on. I actually do better survival wise, just letting a thief hammer away at me and I just sit there and auto attack and hundred blade.

When I try to dodge or do anything to out play them, I just get bugged into the ground with faulty leaps – rushes. I have actually had this poorly designed game make me go right into a mob when I have clearly deselected my target to rush out, instead it just makes a total U-turn and I go right back into the mob again to be greeted with the Finding Nemo seagulls all spamming 1.

This is not to say I haven’t had my fair share of awesome duels and fights and skirmishes with people. But the fact that running into someone or something like that is so few and far between is frustrating on a whole other level.

And yeah, Blind is still broken. Apparently people do not understand me when I try to explain it so read carefully…. Blind… is.. BROKEN.. NOT…OP… I have no issue with the mechanic, I have an issue of it screwing up AoE attacks or NON targeting AoE’s (Stomp/Fear Me). I understand that say.. Earth shaker would miss its initial impact stun/blast. but the damage from the AoE should NOT miss.

Fix the Game Part 3

Curby.4897

Yeah, I am back. Still no news yet on when the core mechanics of this game are going to be fixed. And I mean really fixed, not some content flooding and hope it all goes away, or just deleting posts that point out the flaws.

Bugs STILL in the game from DAY ONE.

1. Skill delay (Been tweaked I can see but still there)
2. EB In WVW still broken when SMC is under attack by everyone.
3. Armor clipping on anything not a human (female but that is up for debate)
4. Skills freaking out or the skill just cancels itself out altogether (go on a Warrior and hit Rush and Blade Trail at the same time)
5. Blind is broken (IT IS NOT OP IT IS JUST BROKEN). The actual effect is fine. but it makes shouts and NON targeting AoE miss (Stomp, Fear Me, Illusions, Turrets, Lingering effects, etc) Anybody who has gone up against a blind spam setup of any kind will know what I mean here.
6. I still see people randomly DCing in Dungeons.

This is not my list of game bugs in general these are GAME BREAKING bugs that have been in the game since release and have yet to be address or even recognized.

This game is a shadow of its former self when it comes down to PvP/WvW combat. It seems from what I see all about luck and numbers vs actual skill like in GW1.

Arguably GW1 was about the player not the build, and now it seems the exact opposite for GW2. And with all of these things being broken or defective, it makes it near impossible to have a fight with someone without having the thought that maybe you won because his stuff bugged out, or you lost because you saw yer key skill not work or too even have casual fun with your character and finding out you spent 100+g on armor skins and they are clipping because you aren’t a human and the preview doesn’t give you an accurate demo for non human races.

Helly I can agree and go with it, if and only if, they instead of going back to GW1 they make it so PBAoE’s do NOT miss. Or any non-targeted skill. Or aspects of the game that do not relate to you that miss. (LB Burst Pulsing effect/ Mesmer Illusions missing / Engi Bombs missing).

I agree with you Dee Jay, I have no issue with Blind itself, I really don’t but how they “Redesigned” it is just lazy.. pure lazy. They had a good form for it in GW1 with the 90% to miss but it stayed on you into it ran out or it got removed. Now, it is guaranteed to make ANYTHING miss no matter what it is or how powerful it is or anything hell even a PvE boss will miss with its attacks if you time it right. Am I suppose to think that a PBAoE should miss when it doesn’t even target? Or hell even the skills that don’t even belong to you anymore (Illusions will miss if you are blinded).

As I said my problem isn’t blind.. it needs to be in here, but how they designed it is lazy and needs to be redone. IE 90% chance to miss and it stays on until you remove it or it falls off.

Still waiting on this broken condition to be nerfed Anet, hop on it bro. The mechanic in GW1 was very well done. It didn’t 100% kitten over any skill you use. It gave you a 10% chance to hit still. Vs now anybody with blind can totally ruin anything you have for your next hit. Aoe/Spikes/ Hell even the LB Burst… when it lands and pulses. if you are blinded half way through, the pulse effect it will miss.. WTF lol?

Not even a matter of skill anymore, Theives can just apply it any time they want with kitten near everything, some other classes can use it too but Theives are abusing the kitten out of it now. I literally cannot retaliate against it. I just have to either cleanse it and hope the kitten game gets the blind and not the weakness or the cripple, or just wait it out and let the little spammer hit me or risk losing a valuable attack.

If you are going to nerf the crap out of the Warrior for no reason at all, at least put that nerf bat to some use and hit blind with it getting old losing to a scrub who just sits in his blind field and auto attacks out of it with Perplex runes.

Fix it.

So, when is this crap going to be removed? I see Thieves and Engineers and condi Warriors carrying this set and they can literally just auto attack someone to death. Flurry from a condi Warrior using this, is just instant death on a light, maybe medium, and a heavy will be ducking for cover.

This rune should have never been added to the game Anet. Confusion was originally going to be a Mesmer specific thing as Fear was for the Necromancer and so was torment as well.

I have no idea who thought this was going to be a great idea but you need to be slapped. This is totally broken in so many ways. I myself even tried to see how op it was and I auto attacked a Guardian to death with my Engineer. He had around 18 stacks of confusion from my pry bar and static shot plus auto attacks.

In short, remove this stupid rune. It breaks the game for true condi classes. You give the none condi bases classes the ability to use their strengths plus the ability to use another classes specialty in one setup.

Please submit a support ticket too Scarlet.

PS, I have no idea why this is not 100% priority atm. I mean really, it is an online based game why not try to fix it. The servers just lag into the ground when a zerg just tries to start, and the ones who don’t join the zerg, are punished because the servers cannot handle what they try to put them through. IDK I doubt this will ever get fixed, so i’m not getting my hopes up but its pretty messed up atm.

So when can we expect a fix on this? I tried to WvW with my guild today on reset. Only to be greeted with flashing skills and no activations followed with a mass dc. This continued throughout the night.

It is the server network that Anet uses. It is being DDOS’d atm with some new method. ATM there isn’t a real fix for it because…well.. it’s new. So ATM Anet can only do so much. I could be way off but keep in mind.. The latest DDOS hit a company called Cloud(Something) with a 400gb/s attack according to their site. It rippled out and is brining down everything they are servicing.. which just so happens to be video game servers.

That to me looks like a graphics failure. Maybe a corrupted GPU driver installation?

Make sure you do a clean uninstall. Do it in Safe Mode so you don’t get the black screen and then can’t do anything.

Yeah there was a massive (Current world record) DDOS attack on a company called Cloud(something). 400gb/s attack… daaamn… It has pretty much rippled out across the net who is connected to the same setup.

Don’t worry Scarlet has this undercontrol.

Another DC happened today. I simply cannot play at all. Whats the ETA on the DDOS update? Seriously I am seeing some really low WvW scores and I am sure it is related to people DCing on a huge scale.

My packet loss is horrible. I hit a button and it will not respond at times for a solid 2 seconds. No fps drops or Latency drops. It just doesn;t respond.

It really takes away the action part of the game. I am losing WvW matches because my guild just simply cannot use their skills on command. It becomes more a game of luck then skill, whos skill will register first.
