Guild Wars 2

For the longest time I used Hammer/Longbow for Fractals. I used banner regen and I swapped it for whatever my group needed. I was more into controlling the mobs so my group could dump their damage onto the mob before they could really do much of anything (Spamming weakness/CC that stuff).

As of last patch my precious hammer has been nerfed and on my hunt for a new weapon/build I have been greeted with a wall of zerker lovers just going nuts over it. I understand DPS sounds great but I have tried that in the past. Needless to say it did not go well… Yes the numbers were great, I have even been considered a damage modder by one shotting a ranger in WvW using eviscerate (not sure if I spelled that right). But in Fractals/Dungeons the damage was much greater coming back at me even with dodge spamming and having vigor up nearly all the time thanks to stances putting vigor on me.

So my question is, is Zerker warrior really viable? Or is it just an excuse for newer people to just swing away and hope the enemy dies before them? I understand veteran people swear by it and they do make it work but frankly, all I end up doing is picking up Zerker players trying to face tank a boss only to be greeted with a one shot to the face (Giggity).

My current setup is Soldier armor/Soldier runes (Test in progress ignore the runes) Zerker weapons, Ascended Cav/Cav rings/amulet, Soldier/Soldier earrings, Soldier Backpack (that will change in the future but for now I really do not care about it).

Legit responses only please, troll or noob labeling will be ignored. Thank You.

Why does it have a belching sound when using it?

Yeeaaaaaaah, I actually have a life and other things to put my money to in my life so how would one be being able to acquire this level without dumping either my life or my savings into this game.

I plan to neither drop my life for a video game or put unnecessary money to it, but I also would like to actually get these items before they add a new tier of “horizontal” gear grinding (Horizontal? Seems more vertical) in 5 months.

Gunna be a pain to climb the wall of ripoff prices on the tp. No reason an item should go from 8s per to 40s per just because new armor came out.

“Later tater” in a very demented and condescending manner. Tara Strong ftw

Happy Thanksgiving week! From America.

To add onto this but since I am falling asleep here, I will make this short. Have the difference weapon skills have skill bars for them. You invest in them to make each one more powerful but you cannot dump them into all of them. Basically speccing the weapon to your liking. As you spec into the skill of that weapon you unlock the previously unlocked skills with that weapon skill.

Example Hundred Blades tier 2 level. You need to invest.. say.. 2 point into it to actually use that new tier of Hundred Blades.

It was in GW1? Why no GW2? You had a set skill line you could just outright buy from a vendor with ingame money. To get the elite/kitten skills you needed to do some effort like… get to the town where it was, or find the boss to cap the skill, THEN you could run around and wave your Echo/SS necro like a baws.

Have each weapon have a fixed set of skills they get (Enough to get you going). Then as you progress say (just for an example) level 20 you unlock a new tier of skills. They progressively get more skill based but have a larger effect (not literally but you get it). Example, Hundred Blades is a starter skill. You just hit the button and watch the numbers fly. You get to level 20 and you unlock a new tier of that skill IDK kungkittensuper awesome happy time Blades annnnd it does generally the same thing buuuuut you have now a combo whirling effect (just go with Flail combo for now). Thus making the skill canceled a larger penalty but using it correctly gives a better payoff.

And this style of tier progression will carry over to other classes/races to give a bit more skill into the game and rewarding leveling up a bit more while allowing players to explore more option without just dumping everything you have on them all at once and say have a nice day nub.

It would make the game more interesting and (as I love to experiment with stuff in this game) more skill based rather then just spamming your 1 skill and hoping for the best with the others.

I saw this when doing Arah Path 1 with a pug group. This person did not trust me when I said I was seeing fire!

What is the single highest damage you have ever received or given to or from an enemy in PVP or WVW? I was dropped by a Warrior from a 30k Eviscerate .

You have had an entire year to listen to the community and you have ignored us. Why should we expect these topics to be any different?

I think people stop playing GW2 because of the lack of respect to the players… they boasted about having such an interactive game and blah blah blah. Once again like everyone else they sell out and start pumping out more pay content then fixing their broken in game vanilla content… no I don’t mean that tree has a leaf missing. I mean Charr armor being lazily done to meet a deadline. Asuran toes and ears bugging out of most armor.. more toes then ears. Everything is designed to cater to one race.. human/humanoid.

People don’t like being lied to. When I saw the post about “Constructive feedback” it made me laugh because people did do that at the start.. when Anet decided ignoring people and just posting stupid comments on stupid threads was a good idea the people started getting angry.

The people started spamming and I will agree it got out of control. But when you are the ones causing it all you have no one to blame but yourselves… It is a shame to see such a nice company go down to greed/not reading the fine print on contracts when it says they can sell you off to anyone they want for a quick cash grab.

Go down as in go down the darkside instead of going with what made them great which was having a one time pay game and a simple but interesting cash shop. To dedicating EVERYTHING to catering to one specific thing in the game and trying to be their best friend.

Don’t try to puff your chest if you aren’t willing to back it up.

Prove me wrong Anet.

Rant/ toughlove over.

About them armor glitching fixes…..poke…hint…nudge……slap………kick!

Posting screenshots would just waste my time, go look for yourself… Asuran toes glitch with nearly every single pair of boots in the game… NEARLY NOT ALL. Same goes with Charr and their tails/horns/ears. I don’t really care about a story if I can’t enjoy a cosmetic look in this cosmetic game.

Once you go charr you will never go far….r… I think I did that right. Wait let me resay that…. once you go charr you won’t go…. screw it FOR IRON LEGION.

I am going to speak from a Charr perspective because…well.. I only play the Charr so I do not know about the other races.

Anyway, I was just thinking about how Anet could make the choices of Legions a bit more….interactive in a sense. It is along the lines of the Orders choice.

Example I chose the Blood Legion because I am a warrior. By doing that there would be a set of certain Blood Legion armors that.. by doing Blood Legion tasks I could unlock as it goes up. Gear/Armor Skins whatever they decide is appropriate. As it scales up the skins become more…. artwork lore based. While the lower end stuff is a bit more meh and cliche. Unlocking would still require gold to get them so this could have a positive impact on the gem store profits while also not forcing people to have to buy it keeping to the trend of profit vs content.

What do you think of this idea? This can be expanded to all of the other races 3 path choices.. I think the Sylvari choose a path based on the time of day? Like rise with the noon or something etc. Give the choices you made on your personal story a bit more rewarding and clever instead of, okay you did this part now back to salad man as the hero and I am his trusty sidekick.

Always open to suggestions let me know what you think! I really think this is a promising idea that would add more depth to the game.

There was a damage counter in GW1 and I missed that. I spent a ton of time attacking it tweaking damage vs tank styles of play.

I thought it was neat to see the giant Searing crystal in the middle of ashford.

I hate to say it but the hostile community can be blamed on other big name companies. Example EA being voted twice for most hated. From what I have noticed over the years “screwed” by dev’s/publishers has basically caused a revolution of gamers tired of having bugs that are a huge problem based on what that game is based on. Example Mass Effect 3 had a bad ending, people went nuts about it, Total War 2 had terrible AI in an RTS game.. people went nuts over it, Guild Wars 2 having cosmetic bugs and refusing/unable to fix them.

These types of glaring flaws have caused gamers to just say “screw it I have had it and I will let everyone know it”. Has anyone seen the Battlefield 4 Beta forums? It is literally a warzone because dev’s/publishers keep making the same mistake and ignore something that is “rude” when it is at its core a real issue that needs to be looked at.

Now that the community’s have just gotten so “hostile” dev’s are just afraid to say anything so they don’t.. making it worse, it is a spiraling issue and it will most likely just keep getting out of control. They bring this on themselves and then try to tell us to calm down and be respectful when basing community likes and dislikes by how many people log on that day of content doesn’t give great data.

Asking players to calm down will do almost nothing because the damage has been done. When you mess up something and then get told to fix…. then pushed to fix it….then yelled at about it and slapped in the face… going and saying hey thats not nice don’t do that.

People have paid real money for this game and when the people who take that money and then put it into content nobody/select few people like is not how you do it. Being biased about content in the game that plays a major role is a bad way to do things and it will only get worse sorry to say. You brought it on yourself and you need to fix your priorities because at the moment they are pretty messed up.

7/10 I like the armor above. Some really creative ideas here! This is mine! Went for the Gladium Looted look.

No this is not a “cus anet sucks!” I think I have a legit reason why Charr and..well.. any non humanoid race is so difficult to put design into. If you think about it when you think of building something you think about.. how would this object look and you compare it to a human design. Look at robotic designs from sci fi movies and even real ones. Most of them are designed to look like humans! Two legs, a face, arms, legs etc. Why are we automatically driven to design like this? Because we are use to it, it is something that we can relate too. Same thing with Charr and Asura, they are not a human thus people have a hard time designing an armor for them or a weapon, because it just isn’t natural thinking to …well.. think like that. You have nothing to base it on except you own imagination.. and that right there is why I think it is being neglected or being fixed very very slowly. It is a combination of lack of imagination, drive to do it. If you ever look at like.. say Halo. That game took off like a rocket why? Because it had thought behind it, story, really good design for aliens. Nearly everything in it was imagination. So when you are designing an armor for Charr it is difficult to design a look or even a variant of another armor for a race that does not relate to humans. Horns, tails, claws, hunch back, we don’t have this(at least I hope none of you have these features!). It takes real skill to think in 3d for something that you have no real life experience with despite what people would think. All in all what I am trying to say is, the design for Charr is hard to relate to for designers or they just don’t want to put the effort into it thus designing the armors for Charr based on what the humans look like in it and just slapping it on the Charr. This is just my opinion on it. Have fun.

I am having one hell of a time trying to find a weapon setup that matches my charr warrior. I use Axe/Shield, Hammer, Rifle depending on the situation. Right now I am using the Magmaton hammer skin and Charrzooka rifle but axe shield is so hard to find a set that looks decent/doesnt clip. I am looking at the legendary Frostfang axe but that still leaves me with no shield skin that is even remotley good looking for a charr warrior. I am feeling like the charr race has been seriously neglected in the skin department. any suggestions.

Exactly what the topic says. I am looking for fire based weapons.. I am already getting the firebringer sword but I want an axe and shield with similiar fire animations if any exist at all. Please show pictures of animations if you can. Thanks.

I have a mix of Vigil (Transmutated into exotic) and CoF Gear.. Dyed Gold and Abyss Black. I am looking for a greatsword that goes with my fire style of armor.. Yes I am looking at Volcanus of Fire but that is not going to happen for a long time if I don’t dump my life into the game, and I do NOT want the Molten Greatsword… any ideas on something inbetween my Volcanus farm I can get that will go with my setup? And if Volcanus is my only real option for matching… Any ideas on how much it would cost.. ballpark estimates.

It sounds like you have a beep code to look up. Try checking your MB manual for beep codes and it should tell you what it means.. I had it happen to me too and it was a thermal overload to my keyboard sound. I moved my plugs around and it has been somewhat fine, minus a few sound hiccups here and there.
