Guild Wars 2

Sebastian.4610:

sPvP requires meta play or coordinated group play. Don’t want to do either? Then sadly GW2 pvp isnt for you, it relies too heavily on meta play.

No, SPvP requires smart play regardless of what build and hope that the other team is worse than your rag tag team. That or you just get a bunch of friends.

Marcos.3690:

Feedback:

- The timer is really anti-hype. Most games end by timer which is really kitten.
- It also encourages full deffense once you are ahead on glory

Nothing bad about that. And timer is anti-hype? That actually depends on how close the two teams are points wise.

jportell.2197:

First match I had:

• Xeph from Team Paradigm, if you played the game during 2012-13 you would recognize the name.
• Phantaram
• Tron Jeremy, who all tho runs some trolly builds, is a great thief player, and knows where to be and when to be there.
• A warrior who’s name escapes me but once again was on point with everything.
• And myself on standard shatter mes.

That game was great, rotations were on it, Xeph and I combined could shut down the enemy thief, Phanta 2v1’d far and knew when to leave the fight. It was great all the way around. The match wasn’t a complete steam roll, but it was fun.

Next match: I get

• What I think is a DPS guard, he was running mace focus+GS, can’t be sure but I don’t remember hearing any shouts from him.
• D/P thief running signet of malice (enough said there.)
• A power necro that I don’t think had any wells
• And a pew pew ranger.
  The first mid fight the whole team wiped while i capped home alone. So I said screw it I’m going far. I went far full capped it and portaled back across near home, this was on foe fire.

The rest of the match was just a mud slinging contest of our guardian yelling at our thief and ranger, and me just shaking my head at the entire teams inability to know when it’s time to leave a fight.

So tell me again how matchmaking is working? I don’t mind if i get placed in group one, i honestly don’t mind being placed in group two. But to go directly from group one to group two after winning a match with group one, something isn’t working right. This was not the system just throwing me in with people because the que was taking so long and it prioritized fast matches over appropriately paired ones, both ques popped almost instantly.

I guess you forgot that it’s a new PvP season?

ronpierce.2760:

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/List_of_revenant_traits
Shows it here in Invocation as a minor.

Actually that wiki link is accurate. I guess the trait just wasn’t working because I saw no orb.

ronpierce.2760:

I just realized that the removing the energy costs on weapon skills was a HUGE nerf to the trait that spawned a healing orb when you spent energy.

I don’t believe that trait exists anymore. Either that or it’s been moved to a trait line that wasn’t in the PAX/Rezzed demo.

The Gates Assassin.9827:

One question:

1. It seems pretty agreed on that skills like Rampage as One and Lich Lord should be every 6 seconds instead of every 3s, but what about less used elites like Tornado, Dagger Storm and Rampage? Do they deserve to be every 3s because they aren’t used as much?

I believe same treatment for all of them and even if Rampage is less used, it’s still a game changer in certain cases and more so with the stability change.

Its very painful. Very very painful to deal with. I literally have to run and hide now when dealing with Rampage as one, it was possible to remove the boon and deal with the Ranger but now, even if I strip it off, he’s got it for the next 20 seconds.

I just came out of a match where I could see how powerful this change has made Rangers. All I’d like to ask is for them to get 20 stacks for 20 seconds so that I can just rip them off. So we can get back to having counterplay and fun with Elites as we once did. This new RaO is no fun to fight AT ALL and it wasn’t fun to fight before the change in the first place!

Solstice.1097:

The competitive tier of players in this game is small. The number of builds is huge. There are lots of builds that are 100% viable in top-tier play that we have not SEEN in top tier play yet.

There are an incredibly amount of build options in this game. Your class, weapons, amulet, sigils, runes, traits, heal, utilities, and elite combine to make billions of possibilities. The top tier of players, however, is maybe a couple dozen of each class at best. They can prove that certain builds ARE good, but it’s much too small a group to prove that other builds AREN’T good.

Your first few paragraphs and title make this topic sound like it was touching a hot button issue in the community but then I noticed it was actually all about you from the beginning.

All that potential….. wasted.

lol wut? i shouldn’t have stated the example was my idea then… i should have just said here is an example like something i’ve seen work. the point did need an example though so you’re just nit-picking.

I wish I was just nit-picking. But if you are actually being genuine about the whole deal, then cool.

It just felt like this was a “my build works guys, you gotta try it” thread.

And why not make rewards based on individual progress to actually earn content related rewards like siege and stuff

I think that’s what the WvW progression system is for.

People get rewards from WvW ?

I mean i get 2 blues / a Blue and a Green every level up but calling that a reward is like calling a Kool-aid, Gatorade.

And I guess, that’s what the extra magic find would improve. Your chances of getting better stuff from all the bags you get.

I was actually thinking the Magic find could be tiered like; 100% for the winner of the two week battle, 50% for the second best and 25% for the third best of the 2-weeks. Everyone gets something but at varying degrees.

" Magic Find is both an account bonus and a character attribute that increases the chance to receive higher-quality loot from slain foes. With a couple exceptions, it does not affect containers (including champion loot bags), chests, or any other source of loot.
The exceptions are:
Containers received from structured PvP reward tracks.
Bandit chests in The Silverwastes [citation needed]"

Magic Find does not affect wvw reward chests.

That can be changed.

some skills going into cd without activating nor being dazed or interrupted or anything , normally i would say its lag but i cant when all my other skills work fine .

most likely user error

make sure:

• your target is not “behind” you
• you arent holding down a turn key or right click when you push the skill button

Still happens even when you do all that.

Patchi.9061:

There is counter to all of them. Please stop complaining about it, it’s a learn to play issue

That aside I think their cool down is pretty low for what they offer , so what is “overpowered” is the fact they have really short cool down.

Are you sure you’ve seen the cooldown on Ring of Warding? That thing is far from short.

Hey guys, I recently went to EGX and got my hands on the Revenant. Whilst quadra-queueing to play it, I found cool things to do with the class that many will find interesting BUT it is also good to remember that many of the combos I mention in the video linked below will be nerfed in some way shape or form. There’s a few more that I don’t bother mentioning because they are MOST DEFINITELY going to be nerfed [I know because I asked] but nonetheless, here’s the video;

If I end up in open or closed beta I’ll definitely be searching for more crazy combos for all the classes, so if you guys are interested in being one of the first to learn about that stuff then just subscribe to my channel, it’s pretty much what I do best.

X T D.6458:

I think that’s what the WvW progression system is for.

Hey guys, I recently got a chance to talk to Game Designer Tyler Bearce about WvW and the rewards system. The information I got about rewards was really interesting, he said that they are really afraid of putting out amazing rewards for winners because lower tier servers will probably never see it. And since WvW is all about coverage, the same servers that consistently win will always see these rewards.

The rest of the stuff we talk about was Announcing winners of the 2-week campaigns just like they do updates for the game, Edge of the mists and the new teaser trailer. You can watch the video above to get my transcript of the interview and my opinion on it. We also talk about the Revenant and PvP but you’ll have to watch the whole video for that.

I think mesmer can work but people need to forgoe the usual mesmer set-up but that’s just me.

dimyzuka.7051:

So the current gamemode wasn’t enough off a MOBA ripoff for Aanet? 5v5, objective based, 3 lanes/3 points? Do Aanet honestly think that’s why it failed? Weren’t the hundreds of threads on release begging you to stop trying to be a MOBA with the objective based PVP enough of a tell?
MMO PVP is NOTHING LIKE a MOBA, each class has 20+ skills at their disposal, multiply that by 10 and 5v5 combat becomes a AOE zergfest, just like Battlegrounds in WOW. This is the exact reason 5v5 (and RBGs) failed in WOW, and is a complete dead bracket right now. WoW, FF14, WS, SWTOR all went with 3v3/4v4 arena as their main PVP gamemode for this reason. MMO PvP is complex enough as it is, just keeping track of 3 classes skills at one time in a 3v3 (60+ Skills) while managing your cooldowns perfectly in coordination with your teammates is what MMO PVP is about.

You DON’T need to make EVERYTHING objective based. GW2 has been out almost 2 years and players in hotjoin STILL don’t care about playing ring around the rosey in the circles, do you honestly think anyone outside top tier pvpers will care for all the objectives in your MOBA gamemode? This isn’t a MOBA where you only have 5 skills and click to move, simple combat systems. MOBAs NEED objectives because the combat is so SIMPLE.

New players already get a headache when learning a new MMO from the vast number a skills each class has (Which you NEED to know for PVP), then you want them to master all your objectives in PVP, AND ontop of all that somehow find 4 players with similar skill level/schedule/timezone/comparability just so they can enter SPVP? How many gokitten barriers of entry do you need? In almost every other MMO you just need to find 1 or 2 similar players (Which is easy because they have a DUELING system that doesn’t require a ridiculous KOTH server and a 10min wait) and you can just go straight into rated arena, and duke it out like men and learn the other classes abilities as you go. Without getting yelled at and getting a headache from not knowing what Orbs do, or what a guild lord is, what’s the point in standing in the circles on the ground etc.
Maybe you should start looking at other MMOs PVP gamemodes instead of MOBAS and ask yourself why they are successfull/failed Aanet. Why did 5v5 fail in WOW yet 3v3/2v2 were so popular? Why did RBGS fail in WOW whilst arena flourished? Food for thought.

Making assumptions isn’t good for your health. The game mode has the same level of “What splits shall we do at the start” tactics as Conquest. I should know, I played it today at Rezzed.

The difference between Conquest and Stronghold is very huge but tactical movement and positioning isn’t lost. You still need a roamer, you still need a bunker/Defender, you now need a runner, you now need a Healer….. and any class can fill those roles if the player is very good at it.

Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it.

Whilst portal is great, you still can get beaten with it, so I don’t see it as very important.

Sounds like you should stop complaining because they also made Dry Top and that’s got all the things you seem to like.

I hope to be chosen. There’d be so many vids to make….

Most turret builds will defend the treb or defend Veterans at the doors. I think Turret engies might actually be the best for that HAHA!

The only time I play meta-builds is if I’m in a team that wants me to. And even then I don’t like to play it.

I don’t think you’ve given any concrete facts Aaron. From what you’ve just said, it still sounds like Saul could very well be alive.

The tendency for people to blame Cele for everything is really saddening. “Oh I lost to that Engie. Pff, he’s probably playing Cele.” It’s so silly, it’s not even funny.

I fought a thief once with my zerker bombs build and immediately he got downed, the first thing he said was, “Cele noob”

It feels like we don’t want to reflect on our mistakes or admit that some people are actually REALLY good at their class.

At first glance it doesn’t look all that but I’ve been through this before where I thought an animation would be awesome and then it turned out to not feel that great. I’ll wait till I get my hands on it before I decide.

I don’t know how many times I have said this but man, I agree.

My question is, why would Shiro be the Racial Legend? He was a bad man! If this was to be a thing, we’d be more likely to get Turai Ossa or Prince Rurik, or the 3 people that helped take down Shiro (Vizu, Archemorus and Saint Viktor)TWICE! Than Shiro!

I want to see all the skills they have access to before I decide how powerful they are. Yes, they have stab on dodge, yes, they have fast-cast skills on the right side of their bar but they have really slow cast skills as their weapons.

A lot of their skills are well telegraphed and that Hammer is as slow as mollases, though I quite like the combos I’ve come up with for it when I do get my hands on it.

I think right now, we are overstating the power of the Class. Until I see a Legend that can absolutely pull a “rekt”, I’m not buying that they can take on anyone just yet.

Automated Bomb Dispenser?

An Engineer using jump shot gets affected by this more often than not.

And sometimes the game doesn’t register that you landed after using jump shot so you just sit there unable to use any skills until you attempt to move.

Dirame.8521:

You’re wrong about the skill type thing. Most skill types come in 5s. Turrets for instance are; Flame turret, Rocket turret, Thumper Turret, Net Turret and Rifle turret and same thing for all classes.

wrong, at least ele have utilities grouped by 4, if you would count heals it would be 5 for some types and 4 for the rest…

4 signets + heal signet
4 glyphs + heal glyph
4 cantrips, no heal
etc…

also not all heals have a skill type, so I think we can’t really count them

O yeah! every class apart from the engie abides by the 4skills per type rule.

maddoctor.2738:

That number 4 isn’t exactly random because most skill types come in 4s. Each profession with Signets has access to 4 Signets (excluding elites/healing), there are 4 Glyphs for Eles, 4 Banners for Warriors, 4 Turrets for Engineers etc So getting 4 Legandry Demon skills, 4 Legendary Dwarf skills etc etc isn’t impossible or without merit.

You’re wrong about the skill type thing. Most skill types come in 5s. Turrets for instance are; Flame turret, Rocket turret, Thumper Turret, Net Turret and Rifle turret and same thing for all classes.

I wouldn’t pay attention to that. We all overhype.

I was more than ready to hate but after you did the Jump Shot delivery, you won me over.

It’s been confirmed that the Necro specialization is

Electro.4173:

Very handy. I’m rather burnt out on the Labyrinth at the moment after doing it so much and basically just go into the center to get the chest with keys from VW / Breach and leave immediately, but if I ever get the urge to do it again it’ll be nice to know a good method.

Shame I don’t have a thief to do it nearly this easily, though. And if you die partway through the rotation then it sucks having to make your way back.

Once you learn the path you can just start from the end of the path and work your way back if you die. It means you don’t lose that much time.

The Silverwastes Labyrinth can be a really daunting place to go to. Let me make it easier for you by showing you the most optimal path for getting all the chests with only seconds left on the clock enough for /dancing in front of that annoying glowing Wolf.

Please note that his run through was done with a Thief. Threat of dieing is higher for all other classes. Unless you’re amazingly pro.

You can scream nerf Celestial all you want but Celestial isn’t doing anything other than making Eles more viable.
It’s passable for Engies imo, and near useless for other classes.

Even without Cele though, Eles would still kick your butt. Cele just helps them have all the things they lack. (because they bring sexy back)

Dadnir.5038:

Yeah… Palawa joko creep me. For what we know he could still be (dead)alive and kicking. Also I know glint is a pretty popular choice but it would hurt a lot of possibilities in the storyline (like the egg being a back up for it’s spirit).
For a supportive legend, i would root for Sogolon which was already a legendary paragon in nightfall with enough fame that one of the henchman npc was named after him. He also has his ashes used by the ritualists.

Palawa Joko practically rules Elona right now. That’s actually canon.

Glint is popular for a lot of reasons. First, she’s one of the most influential figures of Tyria’s past. Second, Rytlock himself knew her and, if he would channel anyone, it would most likely be her. Third, we already have screenshots of her silhouette over Rytlock.

That could just be a Rytlock skill though.

Zhu Hanuku
Heal Skill: Ocean’s Breeze – Heal yourself for 5k health and allies within a 360 radius for 2k health.
Jadeite Storm: Deal damage and apply bleeding, blindness and slow to foes in target area.
Armour of Jade: Cover yourself and allies in Jade armour. Gain 10 Stacks of Stability for 5s and 3s of protection. Allies within 360 radius gain 5 stacks of Stability and protection as well. Stun Break
Shield of Jade: Block all incoming attacks for 3s.
Elite: Light of Ressurection; channel this skill for 5s, if you pull it off, ressurect all dead party members in the area and teleport them to you or instantly rally all downed party members.

[CONT’D]

Ranger:
What is the first thing you think when facing them?
Rangers. Cool. No one’s better than Rom or Kanscout so shut up.

What do you think your odds of winning are?
60%

What is the ideal strategy against these classes?
First thing, waste one rupt on them instantly. Get that crappy weird stealth/stun break out of the way instantly. Then proceed to pummel their face in until they decide it’s time to SoS (signet of stone). Then you just blurred frenzy, dodge twice and rupt whatever it is they want to do. If they stealth and you know they are going to come in with the GS to attack and you’ve still got MoD charges left and you know they are next to their pet, target the pet, MoD they pet. They’ll get rupted as well.

They say it’s easy to kill us, I think it’s just as easy to kill them.

Thief:
What is the first thing you think when facing them?
If you aren’t Pistol Whip, get out ma face. You’re only good when you’re 2v1ing someone.

What do you think your odds of winning are?
80% against S/D
40% if I’m not running Mantra of resolve against D/P
and 40% against pistol whip.

What is the ideal strategy against these classes?
For S/D, wait for the point in which they are about to touch you with their dagger when using Flanking strike and then rupt. Then rekt.

For D/P, they’ll shadowshot or Blinding powder which will blind whatever rupt you want to do to them so you have to have mantra of resolve to remove it and then rupt them. Do it fast enough and they are rekt before you can say “Oooh, so that’s what that does.”

For S/P, you have to have a target on them and you have to interrupt them AS SOON as they teleport in or you’re eating that damage like a Taco on Sunday.

Necro:
What is the first thing you think when facing them?
Are you Teh Prototype? No. Are you Djooce? No. You’re dead to me.

What do you think your odds of winning are?
80%

What is the ideal strategy against these classes?
GS Phant, interrupt Staff 5, they jump into DS, cleanse the fear, dodge the Dark Path, interrupt the Life Transfer, CC them so they run out DS with the GS knockback, they’ll try to heal, rupt that, shatter, dead? Maybe.

Warrior:
What is the first thing you think when facing them?
My bane. Hopefully this one sucks.

What do you think your odds of winning are?
40%

What is the ideal strategy against these classes?
Most of them play bunker-y specs. I usually avoid the ones I think are good because I find it EXTREMELY hard to keep up clones and Phants against them due to the wide area the longbow burning covers. So I usually avoid this match up unless I know the Warrior is squishy.
Hammer Wars, GS Wars, Mace Wars, all sorts of bloody Wars give me trouble. The only time I can handle them is if I take Arcane Thievery and even then many bunker wars still give me trouble so I tend to just join someone else in taking them down fast.

The first thing I’m thinking is create a Pistol Phant far away from the point, don’t shatter too often so the Phant can do it’s thing and RUPT. EVERY. STUN. no if’s, no buts.
If they have stab and you have no boon removal well just run away and come back when they don’t have stab. Better option than dieing there, trust me.

NAME: Jesse Possum
Played Mesmer Since: I made the Shutdown Mesmer which was early 2013
Favorite Alt? Why? Engineer because possibilities
Least Favorite Class to Play? Elementalist
What is your favorite class to fight? Why?
Any player that is good. Because you learn a lot fighting good players

What is your least favorite class to fight?
Other Mesmers.

What is your favorite Mesmer spec? What is your role with this spec?
Shutdown Mesmer. My role is to SHUTDOWN ALL THE THINGS!

What other class is your favorite duo partner?
Necro or Engie due to a good mix of condi pressure and burst being the best. Always.

If you could give Mesmer a buff, what would it be?
The ability to see cast bars. And that Phantasm that deals damage when someone attacks you.

Elementalist:
What is the first thing you think when facing them?
Another one, I bet he thinks he’s good. Let’s find out if he is.

What do you think your odds of winning are?
80%

What is the ideal strategy against these classes?
I put phants on them and interrupt all channeled skills or skills that could turn things bad for me. The worst thing an Ele can do against an interrupt mesmer is to actually go into water without Stab. You’re just asking for it at that point.

Engineer:
What is the first thing you think when facing them?
Another one, I bet he thinks “I’ve got the meta build and condis. Easy peasy, mesmer killsies.”

What do you think your odds of winning are?
60%

What is the ideal strategy against these classes?
As a Mantra Mesmer, you avoid allowing burning to tick on you for too long. Don’t spam your rupts on anything but perceived Rifle skills and nades. They can win, mostly by chance but you’ll be on top most of the time.

Guardian
What is the first thing you think when facing them?
He’s going to use Judge’s into Whirling Wrath isn’t he?….. Yeap…. predictable.

What do you think your odds of winning are?
50%

What is the ideal strategy against these classes?
As a mantra, await the Ji + WW combo with glee, dogde, shatter to remove the first block (very important), they’ll either dodge or keep spinning, if they choose to spin, rupt them, if they choose to dodge, wait for them to decide whether they want to leap at you or cast Binding Blade before you interrupt them. Then proceed to unload with phants and shatters.

Mesmer:
What is the first thing you think when facing them?
Urgh, another one. He’s probably going to spam stealth like a mad man isn’t he….. yeap… thanks man. You’re a great player.

What do you think your odds of winning are?
50%

What is the ideal strategy against these classes?
Condi, very cautious because anything can go wrong and you’ll be dead. Interrupt when his desire to hit you with confusion is higher than his smart choices in life.
Shatter, I’ll probably interrupt all your phants so calm down and stop stealthing please.
PU, I’ll let you run circles around me because I can’t be bothered to fight you.
Other Mantra Mesmers, okay GAME ON NOW! And I don’t really know how to beat other Mantra mesmers because most of them suck at playing Mantra mesmers.

Actually most Mantra mesmers only have two MoD interrupts so, I have the upper hand in that I have 3. And some of them run staff so I have the higher damaging Phant. But when it’s equal, it’s just who the heck has the best eagle eye/trigger finger.

Because we’ve already seen a set of thief-looking skills on one of the videos, and Shiro is the most “legendary” thief in GW.

Err… actually Vizu is the most Legendary Thief. She backstabbed Shiro.

To be fair, even though she killed Shiro it was his scream that made the Jade Sea turn to Jade. Also there’s Echovald Forest. Long after her death his still had an effect on the world, and still (presumably) does.

Not that I care but She helped defeat him. Twice! No one even remembered King Jalis till they mentioned his name as one of the Legends. And also just so you know that I’m just being a devil’s advocate and I’d also totally be okay with Shiro, here’s my list of proposed skills and Legends (one of these will get you guys riled up hehe);

Shiro Tagachi / Kanaxai: – DPS
Heal skill: Meditation of the Reaper – Heal yourself for 5k health. If someone nearby is down or defeated, heal for 3k more.
Shiro’ken Swords: Summon multiple swords to strike your target
Battle Scars – Whilst this stance is active, attacks against you give might and vigor. 3secs. Break stun.
Riposting Shadows – Stealth and shadowstep to your target. Your next five attacks do not reveal you.
Elite Skill: Impossible Odds. Take no direct damage for 3s. Gain Quickness and fury. All your attacks deal additional damage. Buff duration 15s

Palawa Joko/Lich/ Rotscale/Zoldrak:
Heal skill: Taste of Death: Heal for 4k. If a minion is active, heal for an additional 3k and destroy one minion.
Animate Undead – Summon 3 minions that attack your target
Deafening Roar – Stun foes within a 360 radius. Stunned foes take additional damage from minions. Stun Break.
Order of the Lich – Give all minions regeneration and protection
Elite Skill: Enrage Minion. All minions you have become Golems

Glint:
Heal Skill: Crystal Hibernation: Encase yourself in Crystal and heal yourself overtime for 3s. The crystal absorbs 4000 damage.
Crystal Bonds: Immoblize your foe in crystal
Crystal Wave: remove all conditions from target foe. Deal 500 damage for each condition removed.
Jagged Crystal Skin: Foes that attack you in melee take additional damage. Stun Break.
Elite: Dragon’s Breath: Burn all the things.

Questions Involving Traits;

What are your thought processes when going into resolving what I’d call “dead traits”? For instance, things like Inner Fire which is a trait for Guardians that states “When a Guardian gains burning he gains fury.” Traits like that are too specific and are rarely, if at all, taken. Are you planning to resolve those issues with this expansion?

Sigils and Runes add more complexity to builds. They are part of what makes this game interesting, they are literally skills that you don’t need to worry about because they run in the background.

My problem with wanting to nerf either of these two sigils is that there are literally no builds that use them that you can definitely say with 100% conviction that they are a problem. Not a single one.
Mesmers? Condi classes beat them. Necros? Warriors can beat them. Engies? Guardians can beat them. Eles? Necros can beat them.

So even with these so called OP sigils, these classes are still beatable. And really, the length of the poison, I think, is being overstated here. It’s really not that long. The only thing I can say is that when specced specifically for dodging repeatedly, the Engie can be a menace but, it’s not like it won’t die eventually.
