Guild Wars 2

Hip Shot is pretty self-explanatory as to why you don’t aim, Blunderbuss and Overcharged Shot are more point-blank type attacks hence no real need for aiming, and Jump Shot has you firing down at your feet.

The only real one I can maybe imagine for aiming is Net Shot, and even that is a stretch as a net is fired in a general direction, not a pint-point precision attack.

Like Yobculture said, think of it like a shotgun, makes much more sense that way.

Meglobob.8620:

I agree with you completely…

However, a nasty side effect of having everything for free, is pvp players are constantly pushing for the meta to be changed, which is then applied across the entire game…

Also, poor/time limited players in PvE & WvW are being unfairly nerfed and having to make do with inferior builds just like you say would happen in PvP…

So is the PvP player a V.I.P. in GW2? Royalty perhaps? Untouchable by the developers? A special case?

I am confused (or perhaps I am using irony/sarcasm here, this is the internet folks you after point those things out or they go over peoples heads…)

There are ALWAYS people pushing for “buff X, nerf Y”. It’s not restricted to PvP players.

As for the rest – PvE WvW doesn’t need to have equal footing. Those players will still have issues getting gear whether you force PvPers to pay or not. Unbalancing PvP further won’t change that.

The whole thing is a trade-off. They don’t need to pay for gear, but in return they only have access to that little corner of the game. If they want to see the rest of the game, they need to pay to gear up like everybody else.

If you think being restricted to that little corner for the bonus of free gear is worth it, then go there yourself. It’s two different game modes that you are trying to treat as the same

Also, if you’re forcing PvP players into PvE, would you be happy if you were forced into PvP? Say if you had to win x amount of tPvP/sPvP fights before being allowed into a dungeon or onto WvW?

The moment people need to start paying for gears in PvP is when it becomes pay2win. Rich players will be able to change spec to flavor of the month while nerfed builds have to sit back and suffer.

The whole point of the auto-leveling and free access to everything is to give everyone a equal footing.

Unfortunately, as far as I know that is the current state of Orr across most servers.

You’re officially the current #1 on the list of people I hate, you lucky kitten.

Congrats

Skeletor.9360:

This gets added to a long list of the appearance of not caring about the player base. As said before 7pm patches….

~gasps~
How DARE they schedule maintenance and timer resets according to their own per-determined time-tables and schedules instead of checking with YOU first for a convenient time. You’re so right, this most definitely reflects how little they care about their players….

This has to be trolling…

Dante.1508:

Don’t buy them and you wont get scammed, and yes it is a scam.

It’s no more a scam than buying lottery tickets is a scam.

Yes, you can buy a ton of tickets. No, it doesn’t guarantee you a win.

Very much a biased opinion, but I love my Engi so it gets my vote for WvW.

My current build has a list of knockbacks, pulls, blocks, leaps, immobs/cripples, etc. all on relative short cooldowns, so if I end up in a 1v1 I can’t win, I have more than enough options to disengage and get to safety

Few things I’m liking about Engi changes:

-“Stabilized Armor” now reads: You take 20% less damage when you are knocked down or stunned

Combines nicely with Protection Injection for 53% damage reduction on k/d or stun.

-“Leg Mods” now reads as: Cripple, Chill and Immobilize duration reduced by 33%.

Add on runes of Melandru (-25% condition duration) and Lemongrass soup (-40% duration) and these basically have no effect on you? Or how will the system round-off that last 2%?

“Juggernaut” has been moved to Master Trait
“Coated Bullets” has been moved to Master Trait.

These also free up a few points on the ft and/or p/p builds.

Over-all I’m rather happy with the changes

585 hours 28min on my Engi

Well I’m mostly happy with it, just makes my build better

Story quests mostly give quite a decent chunk of XP, I’d suggest trying them and see how it goes

Necros might replace Engis in the Meta, but never in my heart….

/drama

I would love for this to be implemented for one reason, and one reason only:

To have the honor and privilege of putting a bullet in Trahearne’s head

After playing as Asura since Beta, I just can’t play as Norn or Charr. It feels like I’m moving in slow motion in comparison.

From my experience, Queensdale is usually the hub for PvE activity. Meet some people, make new friends, take it from there.

I love my Engi. Always go back to him

Any other class I play just feels like I’m playing on somebody else’s account. I know the game, I know the char, it just doesn’t feel “mine”.

If that even makes sense…

There will always be people who focus only on the rewards. Let them be.

In just about every guild I’ve been in there was always at least one player who watched the timers as closely as you watch a huge kittening spider on your wall. They will usually announce “X minutes until Y event”, at which point those that wanted to go would finish up what they were doing, drift on over, do the event, then fade back into their normal routines until the next announcement. Withou players like that it would have sucked as I would have missed 90% of all the dragon events unless I specifically camped the map waiting for the spawn.

Sure, I’m always open for an opinion -

I mostly prefer ranged combat.

Armor/trinkets is a mix between Knight/Cavalier to get a decent-ish balance between Toughness and Crit rate/damage. Zerker weapons just for the extra damage

Runes are for boon duration, allowing for perma-fury and swiftness with SoR, as well as perma-vigor from Warhorn when needed.
With Fury from SoR I feel less reliant on FGJ, so instead using Frenzy for quick burst.
Condition removal through “Shake it Off” and Warhorn/Quick Breathing
Balanced stance for stability as well as all 3 utilities being stun breakers.
Piercing from Arms VII somewhat negates the lack of AoE and with Arms XI it allows for fast Adrenaline building.

Thoughts/opinions/suggestions/criticisms?

(Sorry for the copy/paste from original thread)

Is this for solo roaming, small group play, or zerging?

Mostly small group, but occasional zerg and/or roaming

The heavy male armor made me laugh. The gear on the shoulder makes it look like you are a part of a life-size key-chain

azizul.8469:

but what happened was usually the 2nd strongest server would attack the weakest server instead, because (they know) they do not have the strength to take on the no.1 strongest server of the 3…..

hence 2v1 is usually against the weakest server….

And this is where the weakest team needs to be more felexible. Sooner or later either server #1 will view #2 as a threat and turn on them, or #2 will want to take the #1 spot. At his point the #3 server can then join in on the attackers and make a 2v1 in their favour

This thread is making me feel poor, IRL and in-game

;_;

Suspension of disbelief, anyone?

LanfearShadowflame.3189:

One of these days I fully expect to land on my face on the other side….

Happened to me once in L.A. Ran at the gate, jumped, lagged, went right through, fell into the water, had to WP back up again

I guess the culprit thought…

~puts shades on~

…it was all a game

Meglobob.8620:

I walk normally through the stargate…

Always end up in Tyria…still…

You’re using the wrong sequence then

Pixelpumpkin.4608:

Maybe they have (Mail)Bags of Holding.

They sure do.

But how do they fly under water?

With a lot of effort and a long breath

Well if you want to make our melee range shorter, how about you shrink our hitbox size then too? It would be a natural advantage for us not to get hit when standing behind a rock larger than we are?

And once you get into the realm of realism, you will need to start modifying movement speed, attack speed, impact damage, range effects, durability, etc. to customize to each race/size.

Personally I think it would be a nightmare to implement

I’m just going to be that guy and say if you want to solve RNG – remove it

Well I play an ugly psycho little midget that wields a large flamethrower in an attempt to compensate for his lack of size.

~cough~

Uhm…nope. Nothing like me. Not at all.

Move along, nothing more to read here….

My main is an Engi, so does that mean I’m a “Neglected of the Month” player?

Definitely B if C is not available.

Mental note – try this with Jump Shot

WvW all the way

foofad.5162:

Whack/light/activate 100 objects is the new kill 10 rats.

I’m missing the reference here?

But these terrorists are SKY PIRATES!

I just hope that doesn’t mean we’re heading toward flying mounts.

Nah, were all going to have rockets shoved up our kitten and retaliate

Oh I understand the concept easy enough, I’m just having a hard time trying to keep up with the way you’re flipping your argument.

You say people that don’t complain are part of the problem, people should be up in arms if they want to see change. So I provide an example where being up in arms didn’t change anything. Then you turn around and say being up in arms isn’t enough, you should stop playing. So when I ask if your solution for bugs is for people to quit, you say no no people must take appropriate action.

So if complaining on forums is not enough and stop playing isn’t the way to go either, what exactly is your definition of “appropriate action”?

makku.2508:

Dedlaw.9130:

Aww that’s cute. So now it’s all our fault?

Have you ever seen the WoW community upset over something that got broken in an update? At times it could border on riot. Did that make a difference in preventing future mistakes? Nope. Why do you think it will make a difference here?

Of course it is. WoW community getting upset didn’t change anything because raging on forums isn’t enough, lol. Blizzard probably couldn’t care less about some teenagers raging on the internet, as long as they still renew their subscriptions.

There’s a difference between expressing you’re not satisfied to the people responsible for that, and actually making them feel you’re not satisfied.

If these WoW kids would have cancelled subscriptions instead of just raging and using their daddy’s credit card to get another month of WoW, then yea, things would have changed.

So what you’re really saying is that bugs are everybody’s fault for not mass quitting?

Iruwen.3164:

White Knights to the rescue. If your banking software was bugged to hell, you’d probably not be so amused. I don’t get why people accept such inferior standards when it comes to gaming.

If somebody hacked my GW2 account, I’d be mildly upset.

If somebody hacked my bank account, I’d kitten myself.

Standards differ according to the importance. Waiting an extra day for your money could be disastrous. Waiting an extra day for a skin is not.

Just….no more undead…please?

makku.2508:

Concerning the ‘lolz you guys obv never played MMOs before, MMOs are always buggy lolol’ -part: There’s exactly 1 reason stuff gets released with such bugs: People like you. If everybody was up in arms whenever they screwed up like that, stuff would change and future releases were better. Luckily for them, there’s enough people like you.

Aww that’s cute. So now it’s all our fault?

joe.7684:

sit on your back flapping in the wind and looking pretty.

Now THAT is worth discussing. Personally, I think they are fugly.

Just doing the events because I’m an achievement junky

Iruwen.3164:

Most of them don’t “whine” because they can’t get their achievement / reward but because this is yet another broken update. There have been almost no changes at all in this update, still they managed to break it. And nobody believes that this didn’t occur in their test environment or that this ever went through QA. They screw something up with every single update, no matter how small. I’m actually afraid of updates because because they usually break more stuff than they fix.

This is pretty much an universal truth for MMOs.

In just about every MMO I’ve ever player updates were always followed shortly after by a series of patches to fix something the update broke.

Danikat.8537:

Seriously?

Worst case scenario you wait until the new story achievements tomorrow and get them then. Is it really worth throwing a tantrum over?

This. So much this.

Dear god, people are loosing their minds over the most insignificant kitten these days.

There is no fun in slaying 1000 of 1 type of creature either.
Or discovering every PoI on the Borderlands 3 times over.

Achievements by nature mostly suck. I don’t see this one as any different.

That being said, had a pretty fun time with my run with all sorts of stupid jokes going on in map chats

Well IIRC they said that the ceremony will be the start of the next step in the Living Story, so I’m guessing it will be around for a bit

Opened about 400 Coffers.
A ton of candy.
Bunch of fireworks
Few food thingys
1 mini.

Sold 500 coffers,
Made about 15G.

Option #2 was the winner IMO
