Stealth and minis

With the new and major changes that just happened to GW2 there is one thing i’m still very upset about. As an adorable little asuran thief with a green froggy hat, I am unable to use any mini pets during combat. When I stealth, my mini is still visible and will follow me allowing my enemies to track me and try to take away my little green froggy hat, and I don’t like it!

Honestly if Anet is going to be like this… kitten them, just buy the regular thing, and buy a toon slot on your own. Simple as that!

I’m sure the response will be …no response …but if there is a response, it will be along the lines of “you are paying for the expansion and getting the core game for free”.

Marketing 101.

I think we were all thinking the same thing tbh… it’s kinda sad and pathetic what they are doing. Not only is there no new content at all in the past 3-4 months of this game since LS season 2, but now they are scamming existing players. They are going to lose A LOT of veteran players over this.

So if an existing player buys the ‘core game’ again then shouldn’t we get 5 character slots for buying it again?

There needs to be an upgrade version for those that already bought GW2 and have the ‘core’ game. I can’t see many people jumping the gun to buy the preorder for this amount of money

And just to add… if we do buy this preorder which includes the ‘core game’ then technically speaking we should get 5 character slots because we are buying the game again…

for 50 bucks a new player can prepurchase right now to get both GW2 and HOT, while I who already have GW2 can pay the same exact ammount for just HOT and not even a character slot. Is this correct?

Necro axe auto attack a bug?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Eight Samurai.6840

Eight Samurai.6840

Also I doubt this is an accident or bug considering it now has an activation time of 1s in the tooltip. They’re making it easier to interrupt, just like they did when they shifted warrior’s axe damage to the end of its three hit auto.

Did they shift the damage here too?

Well, yes and no. It doesn’t have a chain to move damage to the back of, so making it slower has a similar effect.

Well there is a chain skill that u can see under the animation. It’s 2 separate attacks and a chain bar that fills up…. Uhhhhh I hope an Anet staff says something so we aren’t speculating.

People use axe on Necro? It’s one of the worst weapon sets in the game.

Can confirm it is indeed bugged now though~ Hopefully it just means they are messing around with it in hope of buffing it but broke it instead on accident.

You are cray cray! Power necro is one of the most fun builds i run! Not necessarily the BEST build but definitely one of the most fun

Power Necro main hands dagger and does backstab damage to the face though.

I like to run Axe/warhorn dagger/focus. It’s a nice combo of removing boons stacking vuln and slowing them down.

Did you just wake up one day and come up with that cheesy name out of all possible terms in english, latin or spanish? I really want to personally meet the guy that came up with that name. Just to see what he looks like. What next? warrior —-> witchdoctor?

well if warrior got to be a witchdoctor they would get plague of toads! somehow these toads would explode dealing insane damage and knocking things back. making the warrior have to try even less!

I honestly can’t say i knwo who BLU is, but it was a little sad reading what he wrote. Yeah… I am well aware GW2 is just a game sure, but I like it a lot and spend much of my time on it because of the community. It’s just hard to understand Anet’s thought process. I feel like Anet treated GW1 more like a game and GW2 more like a business.

Continue promoting PvP it’s fine, but make some content without us having to wait an undetermined amount of time for HoT, return SAB which is something I think nearly the ENTIRE community wants, not even talking about a new dungeon with 3 paths inside, at least make a couple of new fractal maps. Bring back WvW tournaments. It just doesn’t make sense to me, I really don’t get it.

The gold stars on the top right of our screens with the ESL monthly finals and Ladder test season, and now the call of the mists buff. Not to mention that there is news of some sort of pvp tournament every other week or so. We get it anet, you are trying to make an esport out of your pvp system.

How about you guys try to at the same time promote WvW (no season tournament in almost a years time. How about promote dungeon or fractal runs by doing speed run records (also to note that there hasn’t been a single addition to dungeons since aetherpath which has been well over a year ago).

Just a suggestion to Anet… stop focusing on one aspect of the game at a time. Not everyone likes pvp or wants to be bombarded with pvp things every week. It’s stuff like this which makes a lot of people think that GW2 has a lack of content. It’s not true, it’s just that you guys only promote one thing only.

Just a side note, it’s been good so far, but let’s continue to keep this thread on track with the discussion. One engi thread was already deleted because it derailed.

Also, last week they said they wanted turrets to be like all other pets in the game, yet they confirmed in previous posts that we will not be able to heal them, give them boons, and they cannot move either. I hope that anet will take this time to really look into turrets further and not just try to appease those complaining about turrets in general.

Well if you weren’t a turret engineer the only reason to bring a turret was for the knock back and interrupt (for most builds). Turret engineer was the most annoying build I have ever played against and now nobody will use them, how is this bad!?

So the real reason people complain about turrets is the KB, and not necessarily their damage on the field… With your own logic, why not just completely either remove that trait, change it, or make it a grandmaster trait instead of a minor trait and you won’t see the knockbacks as much or at all. There is the solution if that is the case.

Decap engi’s were an abomination that needed to be killed. I am glad A-net did the right thing and destroyed them for the benefit of the rest of us.

Yes turret engi is OP and very much so I totally agree. But fixing the builds and Anet being completely lazy by making the builds unplayable anymore are two different things. They could have lessened the damage of turrets, or made it scale to the engi’s stats so they couldn’t simply go bunker are just 2 right ways to fix them. If they did want to do this nerf, then they had to at least lower the cooldowns on some of the turrets too.

Turrets never did very much damage, what made it abomination was all the knockbacks and the subsequent survivability for the engi that accompanied the turrets. What this meant was that a turret engi was near impossible to solo if played right (focused on being tanky not doing damage) but could still take and keep a point without killing the enemies that were at that point. Hence the name: “Decap engi.”

No the type of turret engi I played was not about destroying my turrets (not always). Many people don’t realize it but it’s actually the rifle turret that deals the most damage throughout a fight because it shoots very fast and goes off about once every second or so. You make it sound like there is only one type of turret engi build which is not true. And you are right if turrets are placed properly they can be very deadly, but after this it will be too risky to use so many long recharge skills then have to rely on rifle and 1 other utility or so to survive the rest of the time.

Turrets are now essentially the same as phantasmals, except they can’t move and have far longer recharge.

I wasn’t showing here how to play turret engi. What I was demonstrating that an attack that virtually deals almost no damage at close range, destroys a turret in a mere 2 seconds. I didn’t test it yet but my guess is at 1200 range, the mesmer gs auto attack will kill it in one full attack. This will also affect the (litterally) only useful engineer elite skill that probably 99% of engis use. It will essentially become an aoe stun attack that drops bandages now.

I just tested all the turrets in our pvp lounge. I asked my friend to simply attack each turret to see how long they will last now. He was on his mesmer using great sword standing at point blank range using auto attack. Even with the metal plating trait that says turrets take 33% less damage, it took about 2 seconds or so with the GS auto attack at point blank (deals less damage the closer you are) to kill the turrets.

Unfortunately, this new change to turrets not only completely destroyed the turret engi build making it no longer viable, but using any other build that has even a single turret (such as healing turret as nearly every single engi uses) will now be completely useless with fear of it dying in 2 seconds and having to wait anywhere from 20-50 seconds depending on the turret to use it again.

Thanks for the advice! I do kinda like rocket boots, but too bad no stun breaker in this build. My biggest problem right now is learning the best rotation. I’m a bit stressed from learning right now so taking a little break. But the rotation is pretty tough and big learning curve it feels like with all the skills that u have to switch to quickly.

Hey so with the sad news of upcoming turret nerf, my wvw roaming build might be gone. I’m not good at ground targetting so grenades won’t work for me. I saw this confusion/bomber build with rabid armor and runes of perplexity that intersted me.

What traits should I run or any advice or tips I can get with the build would be much appreciated.

Proposed Changes for Engineer Turrets

in PvP

Posted by: Eight Samurai.6840

Eight Samurai.6840

A few notes:

  • You can cleanse conditions from turrets.
  • You cannot heal turrets – nothing has changed in this area. (The exception of course being Thwack, Whack, Smack, and Autotool Installation.
  • While boons do not currently affect turrets, this is something we might consider changing in the future depending on how the changes I mentioned in my original post pan out.

It seems that in your initial post the goal was to get all pets to be equal. Turrets are at a slight disadvantage that they are immobile. I agree that they are overpowered atm and the ability to cleanse conditions from them is one good way to make all pets equal. It might be fair to allow them to be healed (with AOE heals from other players for example) just like every other pet in game.

I do believe allowing turrets to crit will make them too powerful and probably best if they don’t.

Considering that turret engineer builds are a problem pretty much only in pvp, would it be possible to leave them as is in pve and wvw perhaps? Changing this would affect the entire community and it seems that as little as turret engi is played in pve or wvw, doing this change will make the number of players using those builds dwindle.

PvE, there is basically a single build that’s actually considered good, and it requires to spam grenades most of the time just to spam vulnerability. Sorry if i’m not exactly happy about such a ~fun~ build to play. But that’s OT, either way.

Because other meta PvE builds are so fun to play? Man, I’m just giggling with joy every time I play Fractal Hammer Guard or PS Warr.

The biggest difference between Guard/Warrior and Engineer though, is that Guards and warriors have about 3 or so different builds that are all considered good and usable in almost any area of the game. Engineer however has 2 good builds, the turrets and grenades. Even when traited out for condi damage and juggernaut trait, the flamethrower is weak. With this update one good burst skill from an ele will destroy an turret in the area. That just leaves grenade build left for engi and if you’re not good at constantly clicking every skill because there is no auto attack, or if you just aren’t good at ground targetting quickly, then I guess that’s it…

It seems strange to compare turrets to other minions. All other minions in the game are mobile. Ranger pets, ranger spirits, necro minions, as well as all racial skills that summon minions. By making turrets immobile, AND susceptible to the same crit and condi damage puts them at a huge disadvantage. Will there be any added buff to help engis like reducing the cooldown on their recharge?

Just to add, conditions on turrets make absolutely no sense because they are inanimate objects. How does a turret bleed or get poisoned?

Hah, we did something similar a long while ago. Dungeons were getting too easy for our guild, so we used to do ‘No Pants Tuesdays’ dungeon runs.

Unfortunately, do not expect ANY change to any dungeon to come any time soon. Minus bug fixes and changing up mechanics of a couple of bosses, the last time a major addition was made to a dungeon was the creation of the aether path in TA which was litterally well over a year ago. Also, with the announcement of HoT, there hasn’t been a single word of dungeon changes or additions to the game unfortunately. Might sound like a party pooper but don’t expect anything new in dungeons.

[Request] Guild Alliances

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Eight Samurai.6840

Eight Samurai.6840

Couldn’t you just create a “Alliance Guild” and have members join that? When you want to do alliance events just have people rep the alliance guild.

Granted I can vaguely see why an alliance can be useful, but at the same time there is already a system that can allow for this. Unless they plan on expanding guild based content it seems more effort then worth.

That actually sounds more complicated than having a chat system. I see several problems with this. One is that officers and leaders will now not only have to recruit people into their guild, but then also remember to put them into the alliance guild. Second, is that depending who you are repping, you can still only see one guild chat at a time, and if you are repping the ‘alliance guild’, influence will go to that guild not your own. Third, it would be extremely hard to manage an alliance guild if one guild wanted to leave the alliance, it would be near impossible to make sure that everyone in that guild is part of the alliance that you created and not a leach/spy/whatever.

The current system that is in place in GW2 which allows players to join up to 5 guilds only actually helps the individual players, but it does not always help the guilds, especially the small to medium sized ones.

An important aspect to me, and I assume other leaders about their guilds is that players show dedication to the guilds they are in. By having an alliance system that integrates a chat feature would allow guilds to join alliances with other guilds in order to attain skills and resources that one guild alone might lack. An example would be a pve guilds allying with wvw guilds. In doing so both guilds can benefit by having players who do various parts of the game, and at the same time still rep their guild.

[Request] Guild Alliances

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Eight Samurai.6840

Eight Samurai.6840

As a guild leader of a medium sized PvE guild, we struggle to get organized in doing WvW. Having an alliance system would allow our guild to closely team up with specific guilds such as a wvw one, and allow us to use their skill and resources to do more organized wvw as a guild together. At the same time other guilds in the alliance system would be allowed to use our skills and resources for things such as dungeon trains, fractals, guild missions, etc.

All that is really needed is the ability for a limited number of guilds to be able to share an alliance together, that allows them the use of a chat feature (just as it was in GW1) which will give the ability for anyone to instantly communicate with all members of the alliance. People will still be able to represent any guild they would like and whichever guild they would represent, would be the ‘alliance chat’ that they would see, read, and interact with.

The chat would be the most simple and yet the most useful tool that Anet could give the players. Not to mention perhaps the ability to visit other alliance guilds’ guild halls and other various abilities.

As many complaints as everyone has against Anet, if the majority of the player community in fact not like April Fools jokes they would have stopped back in GW1. The same exact comments were made last year saying that bobbleheads were annoying (boohooooo) also asking to toggle on or off. If they cared in the slightest about the complainer’s opinions on April Fools, a prank that lasts only 24 hours, they would have done something about it beforehand. There is nothing you can’t do now in game as you could before.

Once again, your second comment of ‘making everyone happy’ is NEVER going to be possible. Either you are new to the forums or you are ignorant. People will always find things to complain about here. Putting in a toggle would still have people complaining.

You make a fair point, but an anecdote isn’t evidence, nor does it prove anything about a “vast minority”. So maybe we could stop with the hyperbole.

I can’t understand why anyone is so vehemently opposed to a toggle for these pranks. You win, I win, everyone wins. Will people still complain? Yeah, sure. Some of those complaints will be valid, others will be bogus. But just take a look at the number of people saying the exact same thing: “Please let me turn it off.” Not “Get rid of it”, but “give me a switch”.

It’s a reasonable request, which makes those railing against it unreasonable.

I’m not against not having the toggle, and i’m not for it either. The point is it’s not a big deal. They even ended it 30 minutes early and people are so traumatized by it. If they do implement it great, but if not it’s okay too. Just enjoy the game.

so i wonder,
the spanish and the german forums have dev posts where they admit it is unfortunate that this joke was made, why again is there no offical EN post about it? it seems rather strange seen as people here are getting shredded, judged and actually dead children are beeing laughed at.
still no statement from gaile for example?
are we plannin gon sitting it out? all those people been attacked here have to grow a pair? no moderators act ( besides making it impossible to follow by merging the threads) and no offical post from a net, and i do not mean the local guys i mean those who post here, where people alive and dead are insulted by the minute

Because to be honest, they have nothing to apologize for. There is an grandiose line between making our characters pretend to be planes like little children with an old timey movie look, and a plane crash. Yes it is sad as to what happened sure, that does not mean we can’t move on considering this was a local incident and probably nearly no one in the game is personally affected by this.

yeah…. but why the local apologies? but here where people are making fun over dead children, no response?

Who’s making fun of dead children? Where do you people come from?

Yeah I didn’t even know what he was implying there so I did the sane thing and ignored it.

i wonder what you guys would say if you were involved in this event

Do you agree that litterally every day people die by pistols, rifles, and blades? Yet you still play this game using those weapons do you not, or are those not tragedies because they don’t get as much publicity around the world? I have a very difficult time seeing the difference.

You need proof that GW has always done April Fools jokes? I guess I also need to be your /wiki

I was asking for proof that “the people that hate this prank are in the vast minority”. That sounds like a statistic you made up on the spot, but I welcome evidence to the contrary.

And your comment of ‘Anet trying to please anyone’ is just silly. Even if there was an option to toggle the prank on or off, you have all the complainers saying ‘oh noooo but what about the random plane from last week on the newz!?!?!?’

I’ll just quote myself and let you figure it out:

I dunno, I just don’t get why Anet wouldn’t want to please everyone*. This is one of the few opportunities they have to do so.

(*Those connecting this to the airplane crashes notwithstanding. I’m not touching that subject with a ten-foot pole. There’s no rational debate to be had over something so emotionally driven.)

As many complaints as everyone has against Anet, if the majority of the player community in fact not like April Fools jokes they would have stopped back in GW1.

Once again, your second comment of ‘making everyone happy’ is NEVER going to be possible. Either you are new to the forums or you are ignorant. People will always find things to complain about here. Putting in a toggle would still have people complaining.

I always buy gems with gold if Anet was THAT worried about not making money, they always have the option to remove gold to gem exchange. I think people forget that Guild Wars is a franchise and doesn’t rely one one avenue of revenue.

ON THAT NOTE THERE IS A FREE BOX O’ FUN ON THE GEM STORE TODAY!

The best joke is going to explain to the shareholders why the game lost so much money on 4/1….love to be a fly on the wall during that board meeting…

Lost money how? From all the subs cancelled? Oh wait, those aren’t a thing. From… no, there’s no way for them to specifically show a loss of revenue associated with this day, even if that were actually happening, which it’s not.

When cash shoppers don’t log in they don’t spend money which is where the real profits are made in gw2….

And then Anet will release the Balthazar outfit on the gemstore. Good luck saying ‘no’ to buying that.

As much whining as the forums are showing, believe it or not the people that hate this prank are in the vast minority. Don’t expect the Anet team to change a tradition they had done the last 10 or so years including in GW1 to change just because you and some others don’t like it.

I’ll believe it if you can show me some data to demonstrate it.

I’ve noticed no matter what anet does to update the game, big or small, there will ALWAYS be complainers.

This is true. I certainly won’t deny it. But most changes aren’t so in-your-face and impossible to overlook.

I dunno, I just don’t get why Anet wouldn’t want to please everyone*. This is one of the few opportunities they have to do so.

(*Those connecting this to the airplane crashes notwithstanding. I’m not touching that subject with a ten-foot pole. There’s no rational debate to be had over something so emotionally driven.)

You need proof that GW has always done April Fools jokes? I guess I also need to be your /wiki

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/April_Fools%27_Day this is from GW1

Last year we were all bobble-headed, this year we are all planes.

And your comment of ‘Anet trying to please anyone’ is just silly. Even if there was an option to toggle the prank on or off, you have all the complainers saying ‘oh noooo but what about the random plane from last week on the newz!?!?!?’

Because it is a tradition that Anet has done since GW1 during April Fools, they go all the way. If it’s that big of an issue, go to your options and turn off post processing to remove the old timey look. If the airplane sound is an issue turn off dialogue volume. But the airplane hands are on the house feel free to enjoy that.

Nah. I’d rather that those that like it be able to enjoy it, and those that dislike it be able to turn it off. I’m one of those that don’t enjoy it. It actually really ruins the immersion for me, and if I didn’t want immersion, I wouldn’t put money into a game designed to look, sound, and feel like a fantasy world.
