Guild Wars 2

Dibrom.6408:

FIRE! OH GOD WAKE THE CHILDREN…

oh wait, just more gw2 bugs. Putting sound quality on medium doesn’t fix it.

It did work for me and a lot of other people.

I don’t know about dragons (never happened to me there) but doesn’t work for me in Ascalon Catacombs.

Ryox Sinfar.4985:

So if I give my soulbound bows and axes to my guardian, have him skin them, then send them back they will be soulbound to the ranger?

No, you can’t transfer soulbound items. You have to put them in the bank, log on to your guardian and use a transmutation stone (items still in the bank).

You can transmute the soulbound items to other characters
edit: whoops answered too soon

You can transmute all back pieces to all back pieces
You can transmute all weapons of 1 type (mace) to all weapons of the same type (a different mace)
You can transmute all armor of the same weight (heavy) to all armor of the same weight (heavy again)

As does death shroud’s attacks (not Doom).

FIRE! OH GOD WAKE THE CHILDREN…

oh wait, just more gw2 bugs. Putting sound quality on medium doesn’t fix it.

Nah, the 400 toughness trait is fine, it works on 3 skills guys.

That’s 50% more than the chill on blind trait.

“I like DS… They should change it so [things]”

Yes, I too like a DS that works differently than the one we have now.

I know DS was originally a downed state with 5 abilities. They took away 1 of the abilities (deathly swarm) and made it so we could go into the downed state at any time (but gave us mobility).

Redesign? Pfft, too time consuming.

QSpec.4298:

For my money it should come standard on fear and the trait should be entirely replaced.

That would mean fear would be blocked by aegis, mist form, endure frenzy and everything else.
(I’m assuming it isn’t currently)

Where the bosses have even more life? I will pass on that.

Spectral Walk will be changed yet again.

Terror: Fear does damage.

300 Damage if you spec juuuust right.

Seras.5702:

As someone who has played 2hrs of WvW and 1 PvP match…what’s a PvP locker?

In the mists there’s a locker. Past the guy who “sells” weapons.

I feel this thread is just going to get all this tricked ‘fixed’ (nerfed).

Anyway, if you DS → Doom → DS quick enough it doesn’t cost any LF.
The Mark of Blood on roll trait is a blast finisher.

Really any idea is better then Anet’s walking downed state.

They may not get the tokens at the end of the dungeon as well.

Aleth.9630:

You are dumb if you think you could achieve anything with an attitude like that.
The only reasonable way mesmers can get Retaliation is from Chaos Storm, which last for like 3s per tick.

If you let the mesmer camp in his Chaos Storm and keep hitting them while that short Retal is up, you’re the one who needs to “l2p”. And you, know, there are skills and traits which remove boons as well.

Yes, Vengeful Images does not grant retaliation.

Ruufio.1496:

IMO every other class should be slower like the Necro. Then there will be less spam and more skill involved.

I feel this way too, but as it stands there’s a large gap between fast/slow and burst/non-burst professions.

DiogoSilva.7089:

So, what balance changes are we sure we’re getting with this patch?

- Ranger fixes for a lot of their utility, and some of their weapons.
- Stealth fixes and thieves’ burst toned down at the compensation of something else (higher sustained damage?)
- Changes and bug fixes for all 8 professions.
- Possibly some nerfs to bunker builds?

I seriously doubt it.

Most of those were pretty much confirmed.

Ranger fixes were confirmed, I did not see anything specific about utility or weapon specific changes.
The stealth culling issue is confirmed to be fixed, nothing again about bust reduction or sustained damage increases
Since it’s been a couple of weeks, yeah I would hope they’d do fixes for all professions
They said they were keeping an eye on bunkers not that they were nerfing them

RakaNishoo.6071:

Does Perfect Inscriptions works? Last time I checked it didn’t have any noticable effect on my signets…

It works but the boost is only 20%.

Nyorai.1630:

It’s sad to see an issue like this buried and forgotten.

Well we can’t do anything about it and Anet seems not to care. Not sure what else there is to do.

If it was AC they probably didn’t want you for the burrows. As a condition necro I always feel like an idiot whenever I run any of the burrows path. The most useful I can be is an aggro draw.

Thanks Anet

As a (former) condition necro I loved having eles on my team make weapons (the ice bow in peticular). Since conditions don’t do anything to objects and Anet makes killing objects (burrows in AC) a dungeon objective I went from being completely useless to worthwhile.

Necro: The utilities are kind of meh too, but yeah I’d swap out the elite.

Guardian: Yes, I’d swap them out in a heartbeat. I love the guardian utilities.

Engineer: I believe that Supply Create is one of the best elites, but if I’d get an extra toolbelt? Tough call.

Theif: No, the venom elite is basically a utility already anyway.

Ele: Yes, there is no elite to like in this profession

Sprawl.3891:

I’m not talking about nerfs/buffs I’m talking about legitimate class bug fixes. Go look in every class forum they have a sticky of 50+ bugs per class, necro was over 100 at one point not sure if it’s still above now or not. They need to have a massive wave of fixes for broken class mechanics/traits.

Anet has been the slowest company I have seen with class bug fixes despite all their hype about how their engine allows for on the fly fixes and patching.

They handwaved Necro bugs by saying things are intended (but not optimal).
Example: Using your elite kills all your minions. Intended, but not optimal.
It’s masterful really.

Yiyojin.3241:

Dibrom
I don’t know. I never tough of spectator mode, what for? but yes could be usefull for someone go tell in the suggestion section and maybe you will see it in game one day.
Ranking system was added, and it visible at end of match.
Penalty for leaving, good point… like everything you have to say regardless if i agree or not you can post it in suggestion topic.

They’ve all been brought up multiple times by people other than me. You’re also misunderstanding ranking. What rank are you- Rabbit? There’s no clear way to indicate ranking.

Yiyojin.3241:

Guild Wars is still in progress.

Everquest 1 is still in progress too. Is this some kind of Zen thing where once balance is achieved the game moves on to a higher plane unreachable by us players?

Side note:
sPVP is not ‘good as it is’. Balance aside where is the spectator mode? Where is a visable ranking system? Where’s the penlty for leaving? Where are the different modes? Why is there a completely useless underwater map that’s not included in tourments?

GW2W@lmart

you get the idea.

IomegadriveOne.5291:

That 1 second fear can fear people off ledges and cliffs or move them towards another target. That 1 second stun which does only 1k of damage. Something I can heal back with my passive healing in about 2 seconds. You know how many times I have rezed myself with my pet in pvp? Never.

No it can’t. Also guess how much damage fear does?
(spoiler: 0)

-The ability to farm level 80 mobs
-The karma armor vendors
-The ability to farm T6 mats
-The karma weapon vendors

It’s not funny to joke about this. If you had read the books you’d know that this lady: http://www.guildmag.com/wp-content/uploads/FreakyoldladyGW2.jpg
comes for anyone older then 30.
:(

Last time I contacted support it took them a day to tell me they couldn’t help.

A dungeon is pretty much 1 level.

You’re blowing 3 utilities and an elite…

Fildydarie.1496:

I have a hunch that bleed is calculated at the same time as the other damage over time conditions, but the damage appears staggered for the sake of appearances.

This, which is why when something dies from bleeding you see numbers continuing to fly off them well into their death.

HoH was at launch, though it was tweaked over the years. I loved the first incarnation of it though (especially the goat staffs you got).

Also +1 to HoH

the trading post

+3% was from the betas, it was changed.

They’re testing builds since anet has no dual system/private arenas. I bet it’s real fun for them to join an empty server only to have some guy come in and try and grief them.

So does Guardian with their Greatsword heals on attack trait. I think ele gets a passive heal on spellcast too. Just reroll.

Walk Detha into a mob to kill her. When she is res’d it will work.

@drkn (Since the quote function is bugged)
Detha you can fix by killing her (walk her into a mob).

WHAT?! Not possible- the 7 day transfer cooldown eliminated this.

Thanks for addressing the heart of the issue here- WvW balancing! To those saying you’re stuck on a server due to lack of communication/poor planning/yet more bugs, take heart that WvW will be more balanced. You’ll all be able to enjoy it next week.

I’ve only run AC (all paths) and I too have 5/5.

NightyNight.1823:

Because going through trash mobs for hours is not rewarding.

THIS

Back in GW1 the rewarding part was fighting trash mobs. Skip to GW2 and what’s the incentive to fighting trash? Terrible drops? The fun of whacking an unchallenging mob with a ridiculous amount of HP? The exp?

Unable to complete path 1 right after patch. Killed the final boss and nothing happened. Hodgins was standing there.

No edit button so I’m going to double post.

Choosing a different server during the BWEs wasn’t an issue because Anet touted their guesting feature.

Fast forward to 2 months later and server lockdowns…

wumpusrat.4769

Just as a question, what’s stopping your PvEing friends from PvEing on the server that your PvP friends are on, or vice versa?

They’re my friends, they’re not friends of eachother. I was already able to unify all my PvP friends on to 1 server; it’s not going to happen again.
