Guild Wars 2

unfortunately, it will be using PvE gear and stats.

real kittened.

start incorporating Black Lion Chest Keys into some of our new one-shot reward tracks.

one shot reward tracks, kitten.

should put them into repeatable reward tracks.

Jackalrat.5493:

I think you mean ~33%/33%/33%…

Not really a need to increase the stat totals, IMO

but … but … then we would lose out the 1% XD

aye, i get what you mean, to be fair, the stats would be

33.33% – 33.33% – 33.34%

here’s a straw poll

http://strawpoll.me/5673084

current sPvP amulet system is kittenly kittened.

when can we mix and match the stats?

gw2 sPvP of course.

no grinding for better stats as everyone has access to the same pool of stats.

this trait is fine, there is no need to rework it.

and it is not fully passive.

you need to be struck 5 times over 5 seconds in order to receive the extra 500 toughness, 100 of which will expire within the next 5 seconds.

nearlight.3064:

Yeah I didn’t notice many berserker’s at all this beta, but when I did, I was gunflamed into downstate almost instantly.

indeed. i had lots of fun one shotting people in hotjoin during the last weekend.

Pride.1734:

I like the part that gyros don’t exist.

ya ya i didn’t use them at all.
only used the default revive / stomp gyro.

nice one eheheh.

eh? they won’t fix the gun flame hitting twice straight away?

they fixed ranger pet 25 might stacking within 24 hours wor !!!

this is fine.

just leave it be.

otherwise introduce double profession dailies for other professions as well.

Trevor Boyer.6524:

Can someone tell me this new site where I can review and post my match history?
I’ve had a lose streak tonight where every match was a complete lopsided blow out again and I’d like to review it.

My teams have been stacked with players who go and get absolutely churned in every combat they engage in all night long. Why is this bullkitten still happening? A very good question that will probably never really be answered.

get the api from your gw2 account page

philheat.3956:

Gun flame is bugged and hits twice but besides that with 1 hit too i think the damage is too high OR the animation is too fast for a similar damage.

I mean the kill shot is fine imho because there is an high damage but a slow animation and u’re rooted during the cast. Gun flame is not balanced imho (besides the bug)

Besides that i think main zerk problem is a core warrior problem (speaking about pvp) too linked to discipline for fast hands and defense for condi removal,/tankiness, this makes huge issues for a good build with Berserk line.

gun flame does less physical damage than kill shot.

Remus.7312:

Spurrlock.3219:

You also acknowledged that its bugged so why call for nerfs on something that hasnt been properly tested?

Because even if it doesn’t bug out it can still kill people with 1 shot or at least take off 80% of their HP. With all the other factors it is considerably better than kill shot, which I thought was not the intent of these skills as they only need 10 adrenalin to activate.

you realize that we still need 30 adrenaline to enter berserk mode yes?

gun flame is fine, leave it alone.

well, maybe the auto dual hit insta gib needs to be fixed a bit though.

its really fun in hotjoin.
didn’t bother with unranked / ranked / stronghold due to queue times.

berserk, gun flame!
bam! downed!

feels so good.

too bad they will fix it.

scrapper is nice and balanced for me.
pls dun nerf.

i did not try out gyros so i dunno much about them.

the basic revive / stomp gyro is nice.

i like the hammer skills, very, very much.
both the master and grand master hammer traits energize well.

too bad i can’t pick 4 specializations otherwise i would have gone

tools, alchemy, invention, scrapper.

i tried out

alchemy, invention, scrapper and it works for me, well, in hotjoin casual testing at least.

its my favorite map too.

i enjoy running cannon balls and manning the cannons.
so much fun!

and drinking the potion and fighting on the ship!

samo.1054:

I think “Fear me!” could also inflict cripple besides Fear…

No cripple.
Give them suoerspeed so they run far far

Btw can we activate primal burst iimmediately now

F1 f2 fixed thanks
Always angry nice buff
Faster rage primal burst recharge nice change
3 seconds quickness nice buff thanks

Cheat death trait 30 seconds icd bad nerf

Thanks for sharing!
Queue time still too long though.

what kitten are you smoking?

d/d celele is still unchallenged king of 1 v 1

ya all never stop complaining when warrior was being nerfed into the ground.

so yes, i will not stop either until ele is nerfed into the ground.

stuck as in, after you alt – f4 to close gw2, and you log in, you still get stuck ?

Luclinraider.2317:

I did say I main a Thief for my team…..

For example though. My last 10 games…of which I am in que right now while writing this, are on my Necro.

Until my team gets on it’s all I play is my Necro. I realize this list is my opinion, and not law. I’m writing it as what I’ve seen, I even said that at the top.

Any last game I fought a 4v1 on Wolf, and was able to kill 2 of them before they could stomp me. Sorry, but I can’t do that on any of my other characters. As long as I can 2v1, 3v1, and 4v1 and walk out of it will kills and/or alive on my Necro, they will be Tier S in my opnion :P

good for you! could you share with us the exact build your necro used for the 4 vs 1 ?
imma try it out in hotjoin and see how it goes.

Barret.4095:

why do you want warrior to be faceroll again. it was pretty balanced before the patch

dun be ridiculous.

warriors were under powered.

warriors are definitely not faceroll now.

both engineer and warrior are under powered, not overpowered.

ele is over powered.

get your facts right.

TorsoReaper.8530:

Yea it’s kind of bs, that is why I always volunteer. It sucks to swap to the losing team when it’s a blow out but if I am at risk of getting force swapped and getting nothing, I might as well volunteer and get something.

hmmm true that.

still, hotjoin is still a terrible mess.

its always one team stacking against the other.

forced auto balance does not give win reward.

please fix.

hmmm seems i was right.

11% damage increase makes it 2.50

up from 2.25

not too bad i guess.

thats level 2 eviserate damage if all 10 attacks connect.

okies, elixir x tool tip got remove condition.

but toss elixir x tool tip don have remove condition.

fix please.

ya ya i think perko is right.

shield bash actual range is less than 450.
300 sounds about just right.,

you need to be very close in order to land a hit.

so ddele cant 1v2 anymore?

ronpierce.2760:

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

so we still can’t kill them but can those annoying kittens still kill us easily as before?

More like you still can’t kill them but at least they kill a tiny bit slower than before. And by tiny I mean it’s pretty small, RoF is more useful as a direct attack, though crossing it doesn’t hurt as bad. That said, that means you also can’t have Necros dance in it for huge burn spike plague signets.

Overall, I’d say this patch had a lot of text for not a lot of change.

Warriors should be retry happy though. While it may not totally shape their meta builds, some of the changes they got were decent. Last stand buff is huge, if you can escape the need for Cleaninng Ire (admittedly not easy to do).

kitteni tot so too.
thanks for the reply aye!

hmmm yeah i aappreciate the warrior and engi bufss

so we still can’t kill them but can those annoying kittens still kill us easily as before?

warriors are very balanced with many counters, not over powered.

A bunker pushes far at the start of a match. He gets there early enough to neutralize the point. Two enemy players engage him on the far point for the entire match. The point remains neutral, he kills neither of the enemies but the enemies don’t kill him either. He tells his team: “stay at home and mid and benefit from the 4v3 in your favor”. His team ends up winning but at the end of the match, that bunker will have 0 points and the MMR system will credit him the least amount of MMR gain out of everyone on his team, even though he was carrying that team hard.

i know this is just an example but it shows how terrible the current system is at determining participation in a match.

nelzack.7205:

Playing unfair games ins’t fun for me.
I enjoy the answer of the other play though “nah. play the game”
We need more of these, don’t you think?

yes, health in game sportsmanship is good!

unfortunately, i think we have more ragers and poor sportsmanship in the game, and in the forums.

Tux kitten inguin.3049:

I did this a couple of times but got reported and flamed to hell from my teammates. I remember one particular game where its was 400 to 150 in our favour and one from the other team dcd (he had lags before, I could see it, so i guess no rage quit), I stopped playing and we actually lost the game.
There are no words to descripe the heat i got!

I really appreciate that there are players thinking like me in this point!

well, the other 4 team mates should not really blame you, since, they lost a 4 vs 4 and had a 350 lead.

nelzack.7205:

My team end up wining- I didn’t play since I read the 4v5, although he had said “play the game”.

The DC was in the middle of the game (arround 250point) we were in advantage and my team kept that advantage until victory.
:)

ah, i see.
thanks for sharing!

nice of you to sit out and make it a 4 vs 4 !

D best.3547:

No. 3 – I cant CC this warrior
With 12 seconds of instant stability on a 40 second cooldown from a trait we will see more stance warriors who you can never CC. The rotation of stability will be trait, then Balanced Stance, then rampage, then trait then Balanced stance and by that point everyone looses. Its a trait that requires no skill and therefore deserves a high cooldown.

your reasoning is ridiculous.
stability can be easily removed.

even with stability, warrior still dies to burst and condition overload, unlike elementalist.

stop making false statements.

nice, how did the match turn out?

counter blow should knock down people.

just like in the original guild wars 1.

Talyn Sneider.1825:

Yeah kinda of a dream but one can only hope, I can imagine if they increase speed of gliders and create some fun pvp maps and add aerial maneuvers (loops, spirals etc…) this mode could be a blast to play, add to this customized aerial glider skins and potential glider upgrades and mastery tie ins and you could have a very deep game mode

Anet pls make my dream come true i don’t mind waiting for a couple years XD

well i waited 8 years for guild wars armor to be able to change stats and skins.

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/smart-armor-system-v3-0-t10071643.html

what i wrote back in 2007.

Smart Armor System – Guild Wars 2 (SAS-GW2) (Added 30 March 2007)

Basically, the concept is as follows:
- character never needs to discard armor
- existing armor is upgraded by various armorers as character progresses
- armor is capable of altering its appearance and stats after various upgrades
- various materials and cost (gold?) is required for the armor upgrades
- possibly special items required for special armors (unique skins)

back then, they do not have official forums for guild wars 1 and relied on fan site forums.

this would be like under water pvp except its above water.

Belial.9350:

Isn’t this trait getting buffed to give 130% more healing and toughness?

errr yes but removing condition and activating upon using a stun breaker is more important.

Since it’s in the same tier as CI I support this +1.

aye thanks for the support!

“Remove a condition, gain toughness and health when you activate a stun break.”

I see what you did there…

eheheheh that’s the whole idea.

“Oh my, what in the world happened to your blind!?”

Actually, instead of just making it cleanse a condition, why not make it focus on removing blind?

That would give it a flavor of its own while still keeping it good.

Honestly, that’s probably how Warrior condi removal should have always worked, have a few ways to remove the most harmful condis like Immob and Blind but having to heavily spec in order to just removal random condis.

given that conditions are removed randomly now, removing blind first would be good!

Warrior
Rousing Resilience is getting a huge % buff (130% buff).

hopefully, we get some nice buff this time.

making it remove condition and activate upon using a stun breaker would be really, really nice and a nice alternative to the only really feasible with combustive shot cleansing ire.

Since that post I would actually be more interested in a baseline Fast Hands and replacing the trait with a minor that makes Burst skills remove Blind on a 14 or so second CD.

hmmm burst skills remove blind before landing burst, no icd.

much better.

i got a better idea, please balance the skills based on sPvP, and not the other way around.
as it should be.

certain skills doing too much damage in PvE ?
increase the life of the mobs.

done.

not gut the skill in sPvP.

maybe the pvp boosters should be per game, and not time based?

santenal.1054:

They took away our flamethrower cooldown reduction (-20%) trait since the 23/6 patch. The flame jet damage increase comming in 2 days won’t make up for it really, i’m all for some cooldown reductions.

ah, i did not play engineer much before that patch so i dunno about that, yes, hopefully some reduction in recharge time would be nice.

Erindriel.2351:

yup, maybe they should just roll the 20% flamethrower ability cooldown reduction into juggernaut trait?

errrr i would prefer if the -20% flamethrower skills recharge time were made baseline though.
