Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

hmmm its okay i think Shadelang explained it to me nicely.

Yeah, sorry about that. I thought you knew it was all copies.

My bad!!

ah no worries it was my bad for not realizing it was all copies!

Shadelang.3012:

Haha well that explains the core misunderstanding. Atleast its cleared up. Hope you enjoy the rest of the beta.

aye, thanks again!

Primal Rage
“You can equip torches and use rage skills. Gain access to berserk mode and primal bursts. Adrenaline does not decay.”

this is only fair and it fits with the theme of the berserker.

discuss!

Shadelang.3012:

Deimos. Seeing as how beta character doesnt actually withdraw from your bank. Only a copy of your bank. Yes its beta content. Seeing as how the wallet form what I understand is copied over. And not your real wallet. Yes its beta content.

Likewise doing pvp reward tracks on a beta character is also beta content. as its simply a copy of your account while not really BEING your account.

Edit: also it doesnt really consume your dailies to do it on a beta character. you cna turn around and do it on your primary characters immediately after on the beta character. the reason they left it all in is to probably make it less jarring for people to play said characters.

oooo !!! ooo copies !!!!! arhghhh hurrkkkkkkkkkkk me head hurts!!!
okies, that clear things up. a lot.
thanks. indeed, i am ridiculous!

god kitten it does that mean i just missed out doing my daily yesterday ????

meow one twenty.4376:

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

no, not a learn to read issue.
because it is ridiculous.

by the way, the bronze ingots in my bank is not beta content.

but when my beta character uses them to craft items, it becomes beta content? ridiculous.

the coin that my beta character uses to buy crafting materials is not beta content, but the bought crafting materials using non beta content coin becomes beta content? ridiculous.

the sPvP daily rewards is not beta content, but earned by my beta character, becomes beta content? ridiculous.

It’s almost as if everything done by a beta character is, like, some sort of beta.

hmmm its okay i think Shadelang explained it to me nicely.

GrandHaven.1052:

Missunderstanding the word BETA.

This is an L2Read issue.

again, characters may be beta, but the sPvP is not beta.

The beta is for more than just the new pve maps, its about class(and elite) balance for both pve, and spvp

So using your beta char in spvp is beta testing the balances . . . which makes it beta

also how do you guys not read “Rewards earned by BETA charcters will NOT be saved” def a l2read issue

no, not a learn to read issue.
because it is ridiculous.

by the way, the bronze ingots in my bank is not beta content.

but when my beta character uses them to craft items, it becomes beta content? ridiculous.

the coin that my beta character uses to buy crafting materials is not beta content, but the bought crafting materials using non beta content coin becomes beta content? ridiculous.

the sPvP daily rewards is not beta content, but earned by my beta character, becomes beta content? ridiculous.

not learn to read issue, but just ridiculous.

its good fun in casual hotjoin until some kitten mesmer relentlessly chases you down, puts you down and stomps you.

even if you have two greatsword movements skills and two blocks from mace shield.

Ven Zehn.6573:

Your character is a beta character, how hard is that to understand?

yes, but the content is not beta.
how hard is that to understand?

Burn.5401:

I think some people don’t understand the definition of “beta”.

i think some people don’t understand the definition of “not beta”.

Exedore.6320:

You’re ridiculous

of course i am!

AtomsOrSystems.9420:

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

again, characters may be beta, but the sPvP is not beta.

PvP is about match-ups between two teams of 5 characters each. You are playing with a beta character. For you, yes, the sPvP is explicitly beta.

And we’ve been told repeatedly that we don’t get to keep beta progress/loot.

beta characters is not kept, fine.

items earned in PvE beta maps, events, not kept fine.

but sPvP is not beta content.

legacy of foefire is not beta content.
temple of silent storm is not beta content.
skyhammer is not beta content.
forest of animals is not beta content.
spirit temple is not beta content.

so yeah its ridiculous.

uhohhotdog.3598:

My engi f5 is on the same line as f4

yeah because engineers don’t have 3 bars of adrenal ya know?

GrandHaven.1052:

Missunderstanding the word BETA.

This is an L2Read issue.

again, characters may be beta, but the sPvP is not beta.

witcher.3197:

My only problem is that they always activate the PvP boost for the beta weekends, so i either earn rewards or play the beta, can’t do both.. :/

aye, so kitten the beta for me.
imma done beta testing.

imma rewards guy.

well, berserker mode could have 3 bars, but 3 – 3 – 4 instead of 10 – 10 – 10 ?

3/10 = level 1
6/10 = level 2
10/10 = level 3

but we can only use the primal burst at level 3 full 10/10 of course.

at least adrenal health can work.

this is kittened.
adrenal health should work as level 3 adrenal not level 1.

burst mastery should work with primal burst skills as well.
after all, primal burst skills are still burst skills.

Krysard.1364:

This post makes no sense, Anet has clearly stated that anything won through beta tests will not be saved to your normal account, and it has been like this all previous betas…

if this is the case, then beta characters should not earn coin from sPvP or progress reward tracks.

coin from sPvP and reward tracks are not part of the beta test.

i think the 30/30 three full adrenal bars to activate berserk is fine.

you don’t need to activate berserk if you are soloing a weak mob.

Atticus.7194:

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

errr no, you are not going to nerf berserk mode.

berserk mode is fine.

3 adrenal bars is fine.

Sorry but Berserk right now is so clunky it’s for the most part broken so they’re asking for a fix not a nerf.

Berserk mode isn’t fine, not by a large margin I mean in most of the time I’m fighting a mob it dies well before I get full adren so it’s kind of pointless. Also a 15 sec cooldown on 15 sec duration Berserk is super awkward.

fine lets reduce the recharge time then.

perhaps 10 seconds would be better.

Krysard.1364:

Ridiculous? As if a pre can drop from pvp rewards…

well, pre or no pre. i did “work” for those pvp reward tracks.

Random Weird Guy.3528:

It’s a beta. How many game betas carry rewards through?

yes, the character may be beta, but the sPvP hojoin games that i joined is not beta.

why can’t they just let our existing non beta characters to beta test the elite specs?

errr no, you are not going to nerf berserk mode.

berserk mode is fine.

3 adrenal bars is fine.

Bubi.5237:

’Cos every class which has F1-2-3-4 are next to each other and the only reason 5 is above 1 and not next to it is that there is no space there?

no. mesmer’s f5 is on top of f4.

Typo, wanted to write 4 ~.~

there’s no space for warrior’s f1 and f2, they could have shorten the adrenal bars, or placed f2 on top of f1 but nooooooo they have to kitten it up and place it behind f1.

it is so kittening kitten kitten kitten.

Ravenmoon.5318:

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

Charblaze.6958:

As not reading the warnings about it I suppose.

well i did read about it, i was thinking about the pve rewards in tbe beta maps.

And pvp is different….how?

And who in the world complains about reward tracks :O those are super easily farmable

pvp is of course different than pve.

strangely, we are earning pve rewards in pvp …

Charblaze.6958:

As not reading the warnings about it I suppose.

well i did read about it, i was thinking about the pve rewards in tbe beta maps.

the pvp reward tracks earned by beta characters cannot be saved.

this is ridiculous.

they can shorten the adrenal bars to fit the f2 key beside the f1 key btw.

Bubi.5237:

’Cos every class which has F1-2-3-4 are next to each other and the only reason 5 is above 1 and not next to it is that there is no space there?

no. mesmer’s f5 is on top of f4.

pls put the f2 on top of f1, not behind.

the mesmer f5 is placed on top of the f4.

why the warrior’s f2 is placed behind the f1?

pls fix thanks.

yes, i agree.
they should put the f2 on top of the f1.

and display the remaining duration.
the remaining duration can be displayed as a burning bar on top of the adrenal bar burning out from right to left.

its working as intended. move along.

people complain about everything.

too bursty? complain.
too tanky? complain.

you can’t satisfy everyone.

what rev stolen item it allowed the thief to mist form 3 seconds?

rev are mist warriors after all.

Cynz do ya want me to create a new topic for rev stolem mist ??

y so srs?

its oly a game.

for,m a team of 5 if u r srs

Acrisor.8097:

Players always complain. Now it’s elementalist, tomorow is revenant, then it’s thief, or mesmer, or necro, or guardian, and so on. Stop complaining, just enjoy the game.

If you do not like a profession, just play some other profession that you feel it’s great and awesome. This is the best message for developers to investigate why 74% of PvP players choose elementalist (just an example percentage). If elementalist gets nerfed, choose something else to send again a feedback to developers. That way you will always enjoy the game, while learning the best professions in game.

the problem is, not everyone can play elementalist well.

i have been playing for 3 years and i can never play elementalist well.
even in casual hotjoin.

where are the toilets?

it has been more than 3 years and i just realized that there are no toilets in tyria.

Magira.6390:

Thief or Mesmer. Stealth gives you the chance to choose your battles themselves.

aye, thief or mesmer.

then proceed to +1 every 1 v 1 fights you can.

Zypher.7609:

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

everyone is just so short sighted.

the sales on steam would be extra profit.
the cut will be worth it.

What does steam bring to the table that you cant get from just downloading the game yourself?

steam trading cards.

everyone is just so short sighted.

the sales on steam would be extra profit.
the cut will be worth it.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/3j80he/arenanet_is_taking_over_the_publishing_of_guild/

now that we are free of the evil shackles of ncsoft / nexon can we see cantha and elona in the upcoming next 2 expansions?

and also publish gw2 on steam for more exposure and profit.

discuss!

its good in casual hotjoin where your opponents do not bring stability and stun breakers.

Daendur.2357:

You can go on writing L2P if that makes you feel pro, but the fact still remains. That damage is too high. 10K, I can live with, add some vulnerability, or a blind, or change some other skills to make rifle more appealing, but to be 1shotted from 1500 range isn’t fair nor amusing.

deal with it.
it is your fault to get one shot by a highly telegraphed attack.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Battle_Standard

Notes
Despite the tooltip, the revive radius is smaller than 600. The green circle you see when ground targetting seems to be the actual revive radius, which is around 360.

The banner will revive players for 100% of their total down state health and 100% of their normal health meaning that through debuffs (such as Poison and/or Agony), the banner’s revival capabilities can be negated to the point that the affected player will not revive at all, and only regain a portion of their downed health. This is a common issue in fractals, as levels with Mistlock Instability: Agonizing Expedition can cause players to have multiple stacks of agony, thus nullifying the effects completely.

lower battle standard recharge to 120 seconds.

the lower recharge time is fully justified
because it does not fully revive poisoned downed allies.
because the actual radius of reviving is 360 and not 600.

discuss!

Daendur.2357:

So please teach me. How can I dodge something I cannot see?

you know, it is really your fault for not seeing it in the first place.

hey, i thought free accounts do not have forum posting privileges?

custom arena: i want to sPvP in PvE maps

why can’t i?

the hunger games gw2 edition can do it, why can’t normal custom arenas too?

let player set up their own choice of pve maps area, own custom rules in their own custom arenas.

Josh Davis.6015:

So, I can’t go into much detail on things quite yet, but I just wanted to reassure you folks that we’re actively discussing a number of issues that are affecting balance in PvP – including, but not limited to elementalist sustain/damage. Per the usual, we’ll be talking to you folks about the changes once we’ve finalized them.

Sorry I haven’t been that active on the forums lately – we’ve been pretty busy around the office.

“Thanks, Grouch. You’re the worst!”

Edit: Also, just because this is an elementalist thread doesn’t mean we’re only looking at elementalist, and it also doesn’t mean we’re only looking at doing nerfs.

aye, thanks josh!
well, it is only fair to buff other types of ele after nerfing the cele ele.

cele amulet is fine.

ele is not.

they cant die.

i take it that there are more d/d celele players around so that they dun want to see this sigil become a thing.

ah this is all bull kitten too hard to process.

i’ll wait 6 months for them to be nerfed hard instead.

dun cha know warrior knows some mesmer magic as well?

bladetrail
throw axe
impale

i play mesmer nowadays though.

waiting for warrior buff and ele nerf.

Zenith.7301:

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

so how do you kill ele ?

they kill you 1v1
they chase you down and kill you
they survive 2v1

at least pre nerfed warriors can still be easily put down.

Those warrior tears.

You can always try the class your precious warrior stomps on with stances, a necro. Necro>ele.

my necro sucks kitten.
cant do kitten against ele.

ronpierce.2760:

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

vamp runes are balanced.
eles are not.

remove eles, not vamp runes.

I don’t dislike them because of Eles. They’re more of a hassle than they are worth and add to the passive garbage. It wouldn’t be a bad direction to rework the #6 to something less silly.

okies, what if

(1): +25 Power
(2): 15% chance when struck to cause your next attack to steal life. (Cooldown: 25s)
(3): +50 Power
(4): After using your healing skill, your next attack skill steals health. (Cooldown: 10s)
(5): +100 Power
(6): When struck below 25% health you become mist. (Cooldown: 60s)

becomes

(1): +25 Power
(2): 15% chance when struck to cause your next attack to steal life. (Cooldown: 25s)
(3): +50 Power
(4): After using your healing skill, your next attack skill steals health. (Cooldown: 10s)
(5): +100 Power
(6): You become mist when your health is below 25%. (Cooldown: 60s)

better?

so how do you kill ele ?

they kill you 1v1
they chase you down and kill you
they survive 2v1

at least pre nerfed warriors can still be easily put down.

vamp runes are balanced.
eles are not.

remove eles, not vamp runes.
