Guild Wars 2

I know the feeling. very annoying.

Last try.
Some people are saying: ‘Is your fault you wanted to max your stats". “That should teach you a lesson for wanting to be that good (stats wise)”." You don’t need that extra +5 stat for Fractals"

So, if Anet comes with a weapon that has 40% more stats than a Legendary, costs some measly dungeon/fractals token and almost no coins, everyone that made a Legendary should be: “OK, my bad for wanting to have a Legendary. I guess I’ll just put this in bank and get the new one”
A Legendary in this example is just an item, with top stats that cost a lot of gold and time to make and also has some unique feature that one can change the stats as needed. On point: you cannot get anything better, but you had to sell an arm and leg for it

If I wouldn’t have the means or will to go through the trouble of creating all the available +5 stat infusion, I wouldn’t imagine myself coming to the forums just to argue with the people that did and now think Anet should provide a path for upgrade. (not free)

All I can say: no + 5 stats infusions on them. And by +5 stats I mean ALL AVAILABLE slots, not one or two. Case closed.

Frost, what is you take on the matter?
Do you have 5 stat infusions?
Do you think a +5 stat/7 infusion can “hurt” other players without a +5 stat?

Please be on point and remember this topic was not open for the sake of arguing against each other, but to see if maybe Anet can change anything. Leave the “better logic” for other forums.

I hear what you say, but as others said before, not only Rangers are to blame.
Push back is useless in a group, all can agree.
Please, grow a pair and stop complaining about Rangers only, or maybe move this topic to a general area and complain about all classes that can push back, fear, etc.
Also, keep “playing playing”

OriOri, get over yourself and do something about your problem.
Read what ANet also thinks about this situation and then decide if you have anything to say. Most likely you never tried to make such infusions, or maybe you just don’t have the means.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/4fsee7/with_the_new_incentive_to_run_hightier_fractals

Had to spend 1500 coins for 5×15 AR infusions and STILL come up short.
For level 100 I had to buy 3 accessories and one amulet with +7 AR, but without the toughness to get to 151 AR.
Just plain wrong.

I could “add” a lot of stuff, the idea is that is stupid.
Anet added auto loot and pet auto attack.
Being told you are doing something wrong when you are doing absolutely nothing the game itself does not allow, is STUPID.
If Anet thinks this is “bad behavior”, they should remove auto loot or pet auto attack.

Xiahou Mao.9701:

The walls might not do a very effective job of blocking progress, but they do count as targets for the enemy Mordrem, which often waste a lot of time attacking them and trying to destroy them. This is particularly true for the vines that spawn a ways away, and might waste their projectile attacks repeatedly on the walls rather than targeting players who are fighting the bigger threats.

I personally never seen this. If there is a player inside the base, every mordrem out there will attack the player.
Maybe if there is no one around, mobs will attack the walls, but still….

Definition of decent Ranger/Druid= a player that knows the class mechanic, has top tier gear, uses food, buffs the team, has two hands and some common sense.

I agree that Ranger/Druid needs a bit of lovin’, but then again, please excuse me if i do not see other classes doing any better.
And beside that, you are forgetting the most important aspect: The PLAYER!
No matter how much K dmg a player can dish out with his X attack, if it only happens one in a while and even the darn auto attack lands only once in a while because various reasons (like bad player, no clue about class, wrong positioning, etc), it is no match for decent ranged Ranger/Druid that can sustain a higher uptime on hitting the target.
I only tried briefly the raid. So no comment on that, but in Fractals at least, a decent ranged Ranger/Druid most likely will do more DPS than a melee class, only because of the uptime of the attacks.
I guess that bad reputation of Rangers/Druids as DPS is the direct result of people seeing the class as an easy to learn one, thus, most new players will roll a Ranger. Without any know how of the class, anyone will fail to be a decent DPS.
And on top of that, is just human nature to bash other classes, without any actual experience with the class.
I truly never felt the need to bash any other class, no matter how bad the payer is, because it is just that: A BAD player. Never wanted to come to forums and bash let’s say Revenants, who seem to die like flies in Fractals all the time. Never wanted to complain about several Elementalists who do Tier 4 with 0 (zero) AR and then complain about “why you are not rezzing me faster”?
Examples can continue, but again, what is the point? Is the player’s fault most of the time.
I have seen in both PvE and WvW/PvP very good Rangers that put to shame other more “good” classes. Conclusion? It is the man behind the keyboard most of the time and not the class.

Enough ranting.

Hello,

I wanted to discuss this for some time now, but only today, after one full run in Verdant Brink and tons of kittens, I finally convinced myself to put it in writing, maybe someone back at Anet takes pity on us, players.

As night falls, we have to defend and upgrade the camps.
The problem is that once a camp is upgraded, “walls” will be built to defend against the Mordrem invasion.
All sounds good in theory but in practice:
1. Walls do not stop any Mordrem.
2. Walls generate a lot of Obstructed attacks for players.
3. Walls hinder the movement of players.
4. Walls do not protect anything/anyone inside the defended area.

So please, eliminate the walls during night time in camps and create a central structure of sorts in the middle of camps instead.

This is plain dumb.
Sometimes I afk and my pet will protect my kitten in case some trash mob attacks me.
Because I have autoloot I might be tagged as a bot?
Just plain dumb and silly.

I like SB so much I went through the hassle of making The Dreamer.
Nevertheless, when I do WvW, most of the time enemies will just ignore me, I think, just because my SB pew pews small numbers that can be ignored.
I am actually embarrassed when I see this
Some builds can just hit me 2-3 times and I am down, while me, full ascended PPF, I could just pew pew and get nowhere with my SB.
And don’t get started with the measly 900 range. In WvW, 900 is like melee.

I am in the same boat.
I guess people who “seem” to not understand the situation are people who never bothered to create a +5 +5.
Good to know Anet is working on a fix. Just wish the fix comes sooner rather than later.

Break bars need an overhaul.
Matriarch is very easy with 10 people that know their stuff.
The more people. the harder to break the bar, if not impossible.
As for new vs old, take a look a The Shatterer’s break bar. I for one, have not succeeded yet.
But what am I talking about. Given that my pet STILL cannot attack some objects I can, after soooo many time has passed by, I am confident the break bar will not be fixed in our lifetime. Thank God new fluffy gem items come to market so frequently.

CindyKa.6137:

This is a good example of why so many won’t bother reading map chat or join a squad.

PS: I never commanded anything. Do not even have a tag.
2nd, if because there are some bad commanders, people do not even read map chat…what can I say, bad commanders can affect your eye sight

Just added another reason people do not read map chat: it is the commander’s fault

Illconceived Was Na.9781:

In short, RNG is the same for all of us

How can you be so sure? Unless I am the developer who made the code, I couldn’t state that.
As I told you: finding a certain item DAILY, for months, while others couldn’t find the same item AT ALL for the same amount of time (dyes in this case) is not RNG imho.
I am not talking about precursors that MIGHT drop once or twice in a lifetime or items that have such a lot drop rate that you can just invoke pure luck. I am talking about items that dropped like rain for some while others were just…living in the driest desert.

Again, since I did not code the thing, I might be totally wrong about all this.
As you said, it might just be my expectation.

I recall back in the days when I used to find several dyes a single day!
For several months, (not playing the whole time) I kept finding dyes while my guild mates were finding almost none and a selected few were finding ABSOLUTELY NONE.
Then, ANet changed the way dyes drop in game.
So, from my experience, the global RNG is pure B.S.
I am not a gambling person, but I would accept a fair RNG in GW2.
The problem is, RNG is more RNG to some then others for some elusive reason.

Many times I see the message (see attachment) after the actual events have been completed and as far as I can tell, the reward has been given.
It happens all over the world and with missions I had 100% participation.

Most people in DS do not even join the squads, even if told several times.
The reason why eludes me as they mostly do not even answer or seem to read map chat, making me think some people are just plain dumb when it comes to organized PvE play.

I heard reasons such as: I will crash more if I join a squad! leave me be.

What people do not realize is that squads in DS are needed so we can evaluate how many people are in each lane. If one lane has too many people, a commander can relocate some to other lanes.

So i guess, the reason for a failed DS because of just one lane is: people do not read map chat at all. When the entire map complained in chat about a commander and those in the mentioned lane STILL followed him, the blame is on the entire lane not on the trolling commander.

Sheep will be sheep.

On top of the world baby!

I guess ANet should partner up with a mice manufacturer.
Or maybe, they already did and thus…the infinite clicking.

Padd.1479:

which reset the fight

This just made my day, coming from a thief

1st and most important NO GO for DX12 is Windows 10.
An operating system that sells my data, can give all my data to 3rd parties and monitors everything I do on MY computer is NOT TO BE TRUSTED or ever used.

2nd and still important: I don’t think even the developers back at ANet know exactly how much of an improvement an updated DX version will provide. Players should stop blabbering about thing they have absolutely no idea. Pro or Cons.

3rd: we all want stuff fixed that is absolutely necessary:
Ability to join parties without problems.
Ability to complete Metas without crashes or disconnects.
Ability to skip cutscenes for Story achievements.
Skills, Sigils, Runes and alike that actually work as intended.
etc etc

I can accept a bit of lag and low FPS from time to time but getting sick of all these stupid broken pieces of code.

Having the same problem.
Looking at the FPS I see no problem (70+ FPS without any drops), but the graphics stutter and after 1-3 seconds its fine again.

Trying to find people do to daily fractals and I get the message way too often.
Just today, after playing for some time but never in a party, I begun receiving the message when trying to join parties on LFG.

later edit: went and made some food. Came back, I could join a party.
Finished the level 56 Fractal, returned to the lab, exit to LA and left party.
Now, 15 minutes after i finished that fractal and left the team, i still have the same message: “You have joined too many parties recently”

I had this occur during the last boss phase twice now.

The fights are not hard.
The darn bugs are a pain!
Rift spawning in mid-air and cannot get to it.
Updrafts not…updrafting.
Cannot get in the air.
Shield not shielding.
Someone back at Anet is making fun of paying customers.

Crashing over and over again also.
Usually close to the end boss fights. just to make my day

50$ is a fair price IF and ONLY IF the expansion is not just another small map, small changes and the usual large bugs and problems.
But, given that I quit playing GW2 for other reasons (no real end content), most likely I am not going to buy it.

Thank you for the information.
I missed the ’Sentries" part.
I do apologize for opening a topic about a non existent bug.

That is an easy one: You can always GUEST on Underworld (EU)

Ok, now I feel very stupid. Never seen that castle before.
Had to go take a look.

What kind of End Game would you like for GW2?

Hello,

I have notices this for some time but I thought I counted wrong.
Today I was in EB for almost 1 hour 30 minutes if not even more.
We have captured at least 20 objectives, from Keeps to Forts to Camps.
Somehow, it did not always register for Daily WvW Land Claimer.
Sometimes, it did, but I could not make out the pattern.

After those 1:30+, I was finally able to finish my Daily WvW Land Claimer somehow.

Poor souls
Now let me get this straight.
Just because you stand on top of the darn thing and you swing your big bad sword like a mad man, makes you better somehow?

“How would you feel if everyone was playing how they like in dungeons? "
Well…
And who says how everyone should play? You? Why?
You like to play with your GS. Fine
I like to play LB. Super
Someone else likes to play with an Axe? Or Two? Super duper.

Just because you like one style, does not make others bad, stupid, noobs or such.
You are the dumb one.

You like a particular style and you think this is the best?
Say so at the beginning of the Dungeon, Fractal, etc and get a consent.
If everyone agrees and someone does not follow the rules fixed at start, by all mean, kick away.
Otherwise you only look a nerd, unable to see past his/her own beliefs.

For a long time, some very “smart” people thought the Earth was the center of everything. Just like you.
Only we know better now.

OP, mind the nerds.
Ranger with longbow can sustain very high damage almost all the time in PvE.
Most certainly, you were doing more dmg then any of those, dead by now, players did.
For those who wonder, your pet also buffs and contributes to the dmg pool.
Your arrows remove condition dmg and provides healing.

I do not use LB too often because I like to be mobile. But with hard bosses, I can do more dmg with LB from a safe distance than most professions, if not all of them.
With the new patch, LB will be even more powerful.

Some people are just plain rude and basically…stupid.
Find a group of friends and have fun

Sorry to say, your logic fails me.
I did not say ranged are superior to melee.
What I said was:
You hit harder with melee but not constant if your target moves away from you.
You hit less harder with ranged but more constant.
Thus, ranged and melee are close together damage wise.

Fix your reading.

Deepcuts.9740:

“The gap between sword and shortbow is much higher than you claim. 30% or so”
You forget the part where you have to be near your target to actually hit it with the sword.
Target moves away, no dmg. Simple.

By that logic all ranged weapons are always superior to Close combat weapons. Ranger sword is actually the king of staying on moving targets, just spaming auto attack should keep you on top of most targets.

If “Movement speed effects don’t stack” how can I have the extra 33%?
Either they do stack but somehow it is not visible/working or they DONT stack and it is useless?

Wyrden pick another class m8, or another game.
Everyone should play as they wish.
You ask about my ideea?
I think you are a poor team player and you should play solo with whatever weapon you like.
This is a casual MMO not a hardcore one.

Many mathematicians but I guess zero actual Anet programmers.
How come that you can have over 100% magic find and still….find nothing.
It should be the same math, right?
Maybe they both work in the same way?
Roll a dice to see if you will crit. and then apply a coefficient of 0.1% if you have 100 % critical chance.
From my understanding, this is how MF works.
Of course, I might be wrong and that is why…
until someone from Anet answers this, everything is pure speculation.

If it’s not instant, it means Dulfy failed you?
Get a grip and do something for the community for a change.

It is fixed for me.
Just finished the event.

Just found a green one in Dry Top.
Tested it by running along another player throughout the length of the Dry Top canyon.
Could not outrun him.
In fact, we had the EXACT speed.
I have the 25% sigil.
Either is bugged or I am missing something.

Movement speed effects don’t stack

So it is useless for me?

I got an Ascended SB from my 40th WvW birthday.
Rest is….green, blue, green, useless, yellow (wow)

Focus, cmon, What are we, Dumb sheep? We can focus just well for a 1 dime story.
What story? Some chick ends up dead and I was supposed to feel sorry for her?
The whole new story is a misery!
I liked the Personal story.
To bad. It seems they have a totally new team.

Why on earth achievements do not count from the first time you are doing the instance is beyond me.
Sure, replay if you missed something but replay just to get an achievement is totally messed up and breaks immersion.

Anet, please fix this.
Really annoying and actually plain rude.
I feel like Anet considers everyone a bot.
Not fair at all!
If this is a programming error, by all means, fire the noobs!

For me, many times some dailies do NOT count all the time, at random.
Like Daily Revive. I can resurrect someone, get XP, but number of revives stays the same.
