Guild Wars 2

You guys are crazy! I love the backpacks.

Midnight ice definitely looks darker than abyss. The thing about it that makes it cheaper (I think), is that it’s way too dark.

Well I don’t want to be the thread police, but is it really necessary to have another thread on this topic, when there have already been so many? The op should learn to check other threads in the forum before posting. I’m sure Arenanet are aware of whatever issues there actually are, but they have of plenty of things on their plate right now, many of which are likely to be more important than a few disgruntled farmers.

Then don’t be the thread police.

I made a warrior this afternoon. Glass cannon type build (1k tougness and 23k HP). Ripped everyone apart in sPvP. Easy mode class.

Bull-Charge —> Hundred Blades, most classes already down to 25% HP or lower.

Edit: Also made a thief the other day. It’s very easy mode too.

Starting out with dagger cripple, a couple death blossoms or a 10k + backstab, spam heartseeker. Bye Bye.

Yep, I love the fact that this isn’t gear-based.

The good old days of geared grinders in other MMO’s 3-shotting you then shouting bad. is finally over.

Lmao, this would’ve made me raged so hard. Lucky me was at a restaurant.

Sorry, but this is not the game for you.

Dang!! 300 KARMA!? I’m so sorry.

….kittenright when I decide to log in..

+1, very good post.

sPvP Build:
http://tinyurl.com/9ujt2rh

Playstyle: Spot enemy. Pop horn call of wild buff. Pop bird call and axe chill. Switch to shortbow. Start out with spider immobilize on enemy as he approaches. When he is immobilized, get in flanking position, swap pets and unload with quickness buff (Beast Master Trait 1). Use wolf fear, pop QZ, finish him.

WvW Build:
http://tinyurl.com/9lwzfrb

Playstyle:
Longbow for large fights, sieging, defending.
Shortbow for smaller fights, 10v10-like.

Pets: Bear and Owl

Bear for condition cures and taking high damage.

Owl for manipulating swiftness buff when roaming through WvW. Send it to attack something, if it doesn’t pop the swiftness buff, call it back. Rinse and repeat till it does.

ilJumperMT.4871:

Shortbow on ranger is nerfed.
Try talking to Zalema in game next time

And… you know shortbow was nerfed…how?

A speculation thread?

Sorry, not a reliable source.

I loved Timberline Falls! Beautiful water, landscapes, with a mixture of an ice mountain!

Giving rangers some love.

deriver.5381:

No, they said it was a bug that people who were moving between DEs were still having DRs kicking in. The system will ONLY reduce your loot if you do the same DEs over and over…

No.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Can-someone-explain-these-cap-limits-with-farming-mobs-dungeons/first#post194976

The glitch is only related to dungeons.

Now show me your evidence that loot is only reduced by doing the same events over and over.

You are heavily misinformed, sir.

I wouldn’t mind 50 copper per pvp match win ^^

Uhh, no. They didn’t say it was bugged. The said the dungeon DR’s were bugged. Nothing related to Open World mat farming and dynamic event karma/anti-botting code.

Yep, ranger needs some major love..

I’ve experienced:
A
B
C
D
E

The costs are ridiculous.

Wait…so you get the backpack at the level 80 campaign? Or a lower leveled campaign….I don’t remember seeing a backpack.

I fail to see how this isn’t OP.

Proving the point again, blah blah glass cannon, terrible build, no hp, no toughness, should be able tokittenthem, blah blah crap.

Getting to the point, their glass cannon builds are MUCH more effective than any other glass cannon builds. ANY build they run will be much more effective than ANY other class’s build.

Is this for WvW?

If so…

Longbow: Sigil of Fire

Shortbow: Sigil of Earth

Why not mix Valkyrie and Berserker pieces?

Runes. I like runes of ogre and runes of ranger.

Lewk.8359:

It isnt about counter play. For those of us who play purely SPvP/TPvP there is only one conclusion: Thief/Mesmer/Guardian are simply stronger than the rest of the classes. Plain and simple. Can other classes stomp them? sure. But that doesn’t take away from the FACT that they outperform the other classes. Thief DPS > any other class , Guardian defensive capabilities > any other class and Mesmer Utility > any other class.

It isnt a question of “this class kills me, nerf them” it is a question of “if i want to reach my highest potential i currently MUST play Thief/Mesmer/Guardian in order to achieve that potential”

This. This. This.

Just because we “can” counter them, doesn’t mean that they aren’t a much stronger profession.

I’ve already gotten all the appearance gear I want; since there’s only one good female leather set and it’s easy to obtain.

Yes, let’s make the underpowered classes even more underpowered too.

Sources of anet hinting at an update on Sept 24th please.

Yep. This game is becoming aion with the money sinks and loot nerfs.

Phjillee.7906:

Well, I didn’t want to believe all the “thief is op” posts, but I saw it with my own eyes earlier. Was playing with my condition necro stacking conditions etc. and suddenly an asura thieves comes up behind me and I get shot down to downed state and killed in about 2-3 seconds. I can usually hold my own against most classes, provided it’s not 2v1 or something like that and seeing this I was left staring at the screen in awe.

This pic ^.

7k backstab is nothing man.

Nah, it’s not an exploit, it’s a bug. it’s happened to me twice. not sure what causes it, I somehow fall (off) of a corner when getting hit by trebuchet.

Yep. I agree. Rangers are just…not a fun class to play with in sPvP. The only way to do damage is with a shortbow and just press 1.

You know what’s fun as a ranger? Greastword is fun!

But of course…the fun weapon has terrible damage and needs a major buff. It was nerfed to the ground hard.

Shrortbow needs to have more usefulness in other skills besides 1.

Ranger needs a major revamp.

skream.3964:

my pvp set :P like a tron legacy

Sorry but i’m not a big fan of the helm.

This would be really nice. I was just thinking about this the other day.

The only thing I find OP about guardians is their ability to heal to almost 100% hp constantly.

Cmon guys let’s give them some map ideas you would like to see!

Another idea I could think of would be a huge manor/mansion. Garden, large rooms, small rooms, etc.

Rank says nothing. Maybe if you’re max rank it might say something.

Yes. That’s normal. I know in sPvP it can hit up to around 11.5k.

Get PvP Leather set.

Here’s what I would love.

-Nice and bright sunny day
-Fresh air
-Green grass
-Shallow water

There’s some pictures of what i’m thinking of.

What do YOU want to see in new PvP maps?

That is absolutely ridiculous. I have no motivation to even hit 80 after all this going on.

Rizzy.8293:

Dueling system so people can learn to PVP and stop zerging in wvwvw
More Longbow Damage
More Ranger Greatsword damage, not warrior/guardian.
Being rewarded with proper silver amounts for doing a dungeon.
Pet AI to be fixed so pets dont stand 5 meters infront of me.

Ill think of somemore later

This.

Yep. Longbow damage is horrible. Even barrage barely does anything. Better off with axe ricochet than barrage aoe.

Eww, tell that ranger to hop off longbow and pick him up a good shortbow.

This has already been established…just let him balance if they want to.

ColinJohanson.2394:

All three of these features are planned, yes. It is our tradition to not discuss in detail any feature until we have it fully implemented enough that we can talk about it with confidence, as we don’t want to promise a feature to work one way and then end up having it work a different way. We’ll save details on all of those until they are ready to be talked about.

Oh you planned them already! That is splendid indeed! Amazing that it is in the wonderful state of “planned” albeit being basically a selling point of GW2 for anyone looking at the “e-sport” part.

“Planned” as in someone thinks it is worthy of being implemented “soon”.
“Planned” as in we haven’t actually done anything yet but saying that straight to the folks might upset people that we blatantly lied to in oder to sell copies.

Chaplan will be putting out a blog post in the next few days that summarizes where we stand with PvP right now, and where we’re headed.

It is a wonderous business in which creating a few lines of texts explaining yourself takes weeks.

ColinJohanson.2394:

From there we’ll continue to update as other Esports features come online.

Implying there are any e-sport features in the game already. Nope.

ColinJohanson.2394:

Our focus right now is making sure absolutely all of the potential issues/bugs with base tournaments and rewards are 100% cleaned up before we introduce any form of more serious competition.

I could come up with a better excuse in a heartbeat. Oh yeah you just want to make everything look shiny before you start doing anything… Not to mention that tournaments rewards aren’t working, again.

ColinJohanson.2394:

We’re also trying to make sure we’ve given enough time for the base strategies to develop, and for any skills/builds that are out of balance are identified. Once we’re totally convinced things are in a solid state, you’ll start seeing a roll out of major PvP esports features and we’ll get this thing going like crazy.

Yes makes sense. Because you can identify problems with the meta-game without actually properly playing the game. Because pro-teams will develop such refined strategies when they face pub/random groups 99% of the time and are not allowed to scrim against each other either. Makes perfect sense.

ColinJohanson.2394:

Take this opportunity now to learn your classes, learn your builds, lockdown strategies for your teams and get ready! Once we start rolling out the esports features, it’ll build up rapidly from there.

As it looks right now 75% of the community will be gone once you start “rolling out the esports features”.

Lol, okay, 75% of the community will be gone… nice one.

EVEN if that ever happened (it wouldn’t)… all you whining craving content hungry impatient heathens would be back the instant they announced new features.

Waste of 10 seconds of my life reading this thread.

dchsknight.3042:

I would only accept a LFG tool if, it only worked on your sever. No cross server. *No duels… Duels are for scrubs and chumps who cant get it up in PVP. *

What is the differnce between the current Tourneys and what you want? I have not played PVP yet.

No. Duels are for pros who want to show their skills or fight their friends.
