Guild Wars 2

Siphaed.9235:

My Thoughts:

1) Why are you not already playing on your friend’s server already?

2) You’ve had over a month to transfer to said friend’s server, but have yet to? Why is that? Are you even going to?

3) I’m seeing this thread less about wanting to “join friends” and more wanting to hop from server to server for some nefarious reason (possibly exploiting a farm like the early server transfer people did).

Thoughts?

1) My PvE friends are PvEing on their server. I’m with my PvP friends on their server.

2) No, I’m staying with my PvP friends so we can WvW

3) Strange, I’m seeing more and more idiotic posts trying to justify Anet’s non-working guesting system. Weird huh?

Well me and a few other people were just screwed over by this change and Anet’s inability to add guesting.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Server-transfer-on-October-31

Thanks Anet. Your poor service and bugs are blocking me from playing your game.

Happened to me last night. Killed the king and no rewards. Hodgins was standing there so no idea why we didn’t get the rewards.

Time wasted…

TheAgedGnome.7520:

Are there any other profession-specific damage types?

As much as a I like this idea (and the name ‘Necrosis’) I imagine it would end up giving us an unfair advantage in DEs.

Guardian’s Binding Blades is it’s own DOT type

Also happened to me.

The servers I changed to from haven’t ever been near the same tier on WvW. I busted to 80 to play this weekend then I’m screwed because I wanted to play with friends on Halloween.

I transferred to another server for Halloween and the transfer warning gave 1 day as the waiting period. 2 days later it’s 5 days before I can transfer.

Guess no WvW this weekend. Silly me trying to play with friends.

This really pisses me off. I busted to 80 to be able to play this weekend.

For the people unable to get to the event.

…But who is it? O.o

You can google all three of those daggers OR go to gw2db.com

I have no suggestions

I ran some 80 only speed runs with my newly 80’d guardian who only had level 40 greens and no accessories. Shhhh.

(She’s fully geared now so don’t stop inviting me ._.)

I also had some guy rage-quit from my AC Exp group after I found 2 40s to complete our group. Was funny seeing in trying to convince us the 40s would mean we would wipe.

Dibrom.6408:

Almost makes me wish I didn’t reroll ;_;

But it makes sense, Halloween = Necros?

I seriously hope you didn’t delete your character. with 6 slots base I doubt you had all of them full with level 80s.

Ha, I thought about it as I did want the name. But no, I transmuted and stripped him of everything I could. ~100G was spent on his 80 stuff and I don’t have that kind of money anymore.

Almost makes me wish I didn’t reroll ;_;

But it makes sense, Halloween = Necros?

JonPeters.5630:

Necro minions are supposed to aggro based on what you attack only

Thanks for the reply (2 Jons in 1 day: CRAZY). Have you used Flesh Golem lately? It too aggros.

George Steel.1804:

Now tell me which profession has NO condition removal? None.
Tell me which profession has NO gap closers? None.

.
Edit: These buggy forums are annoying. Show me that melee necro cripple. Also guardians are the KING of condition removal. I was shocked coming from my necro.
Seriously, you’re terrible if you can’t keep up with a sub 10 second gap closer.

George Steel.1804:

First of all SKudder thanks for posting this thread .. and awesome name! I completely agree on the fact that Guardians need A TOOL for snaring people. I mean absolutely none of our weapons OR UTILITIES have a cripple on them. Which makes fighting in melee, which we have to do 100% of the time (cmon, don’t tell me you actually use scepter in pvp) very hard to do.

It’s sad that trolls have run rampant throughout the thread with totally LAME excuses for why Guardians shouldn’t get a cripple.

“ermagerd, you have cond removal”
Who cares, a necro can remove all his conditions while improving the effectiveness of his heal, with one ability. No one is even talking about cond removal, it’s the fact that we cant keep someone in melee with us, it’s simply way too easy to run away and disengage a Guardian.

“ermagerd, you have gap clersers”
Once again, a terrible attempt to disregard the need for a cripple. Yes, we can close gaps, NO ONE ARGUED THIS FACT. But closing gaps is a LOT DIFFERENT than keeping someone in melee range where you can effectively use your autoattacks and do damage. Keep in mind, our “gap closers” are usually 600 range unless you’re talking about our One ability (JI) to close a gap on a 45 second cooldown. Conversely, you can look at Thief SB (900range) Warrior Dash+Whirlwind (gets you about 1200 – 1500 range) ele’s lightning surge or whatever it’s called (900-1200 roughly) .. we’re not the only ones with gap closers.. but simply the only ones without cripples.

“ermagerd, you have RoW and LoW”
These area denial skills, while extremely useful in large scale engagements, are completely useless in 1v1/small scale skirmishes. Not only do both have a huge cast time while being completely immobile, but the area denial skills can be dodged/jumped/lucked through on a regular basis- and still fail to keep a target where you can actually work on doing damage in melee range.

I read this post as:
“you have EVEYTHING”
I want MORE!

Yes gap closers, pulls and immobilizes are not enough. We MUST have AoE cripples too. Class is completely unviable without it.

I came from maining a necro (go look at the number of closers on that class and tell me with a straight face that guardian is the least mobile class) and the amount of mobility that my guardian has is amazing. A gap closer with an 8 second cooldown on my weapon skills? You’re pretty terrible to be losing a foot race.

YOU HAVE TO CAST THINGS?

Clearly guardians have no way of doing anything if they have to cast stuff. Unlike every other professions that have instant 1200 range immobilizes?

Danicco.3568’s answer is incorrect -_- (Why would he even bother answering if he doesn’t know how game mechanics work?)

Bleed as well as ALL dots only tick once a second. Increasing duration does nothing unless you can increase it to at least a second longer.

Seether.7285:

It isn’t a bugged mechanic. Every elite transform in the game provides a stability buff in addition to the transform. It doesn’t say stability 20seconds or until you exit the form, it simply says stability.

Necromancer -> Plague Form -> Exit

Loses all stability gained from plague form. This is not once of the 100+ necro bugs, it was changed to behave like this.

SKuDDer.1860:

viable CC in melee range. No slows/snares/cripples on any of our weapons.

Uh, coming from a profession that doesn’t have gap closers or immobilizers it seems like you just want everything. My greatsword has 2 closers but no cripple- UNFAIR!

Let’s see how a guardian can close/stay close:

GS: Leap of Faith, Binding Blade
Hammer: Zealot’s Embrace, Ring of Warding
Staff: Symbol of Swiftness, Line of Warding
Scepter: Chains of Light
Sword: Flashing Blade
Utilities: Judges Intervention, Save Yourselves, Retreat, Signet of Wrath, Bane Signet

Yeah, my heart bleeds for your lack of ways to outmanuver your opponent.

Guardian’s the least mobile?

Oh god, no. Guardian’s have good mobility and decent immobilizers.

Asura Guardian

ArenaNet- A tale of Two Jons

Thanks for the reply Jonathon!

alt + drag.
..

Yeah, considering the much longer cooldowns the elites should be much much better then they are.

I love you word of healing!

Rallar.2986:

Invisible bag, doesn’t prevent auto deposit… does it? hmmmmmmmm

Yes it does.
hmmmmmmmm

Buy an invisible bag.

It’s an incomplete jumping puzzle.

Spectral Wall is buggy, it’s in the necro bugs list.

You’re missing the point of the guild armor- it’s another gold sink. A player has to buy their regular armor, buy the guild armor (for the transmute), then buy the regular armor again (to undo the transmute).

Very clever Anet.

DR will kick in now so you have to move to other points every so often.

Welcome to the end game!

It used to be an elite, Anet moved it to utility and RF to elite and didn’t bother trying to rebalance either. A few patches later RF is more balanced, sanctuary isn’t.

It’s the Anet seal of quality that I’ve come to expect by having been a Necro.

Screw Necro fixes- let me delete mine and concentrate on HoH!

Crater.1625:

Magic Find should, at the very least, be averaged across everybody in the party.

Ugh, I’d rather not have to link my MF armor in chat before running a dungeon.

Dumb without the guesting feature active.

Use the tool to report it.

Forum complaining = infraction for you
Reporting them = temp ban for them

Yes it’s in the bug list.

Drag it out.
..

OP even if you think FOV and zoom are the same, you still couldn’t zoom out far enough. You notice how the FOV fix looks like it pulls the camera back?

I’m guessing anyway. It’s 567 karma, should probably be 672.

Just another example of the Mad King’s humor… bromegranate?

^ paste it in the chatbox in game (including the brackets)

gwawer.9805:

And that is why a anti-bot guild is needed

we search the crevices and crannies in search of the less obvious bots, whisper them, then report them

Yeah it’s hilarious when I afk for a few minutes then find I’ve been whispered and invited to a bot guild. I can’t wait for people to start reporting me that don’t haven’t even seen me.

Standing still wearing sylvari cultural armor = botting

Be in the upper levels of divinity’s reach
jump
teleport to the lower level
die when you land
pay repair fees
shake your head in disapproval

It’s not up yet.

@tasaunders (Because the quote button is missing)

I wasn’t taking about JUST the bots/lack of guild filtering but about all the issues- the bots just happen to be a very visible one.
One that really grinds me is the amount of necro bugs (way over 100 with skills/traits that did/do nothing aka completely broken). It bothers me because I have worked in software development in the QA side of things all my life. It boggles the mind that they released something in that state and weren’t even aware of it.
Ok, personal rant over.

Because I’d be in the dark

THERE ARE NOTES!!

…under the October 24th post.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/news/Update-Notes-October-24-2012/first#post547651

I should have expected this level of communication.

Yeah, even a ‘routine maintenance’ would be nice.

until then
/checks necro for new bugs

I don’t see how incompetence isn’t a “world-ending” problem. They’re woefully incompetence and a new player is immediately introduced to it/Existing Players are entrenched in it/Returning players are reminded of it.

Yes, I too want my warrior to instantly down anyone when I get into melee range.

All this strategy is hard.

Bind dodge to a key. Bonus: you become a better dodger.
