Best All-Around Roaming Class?

Engi is probably the best roaming class. They’re both powerful and versatile. I roam on my guardian, and the only class that sometimes gives me trouble 1v1 is engi.

Kraggy?

If you’re referring to Kralkatorrik, there are no G’s in his name, and he’s in the Crystal desert, which is a completely different direction.

Hey look at the bright side ! You can always theorize on which one of Kass or Marjory is going to propose to the other or which body part will Braham injure next !

I’m still theorizing when they’re going to include Braham’s love of ham in the game.

I have loved this game and its lore for 7 strong years. I didn’t even take a break from playing GW1 until GW2 came out since I started playing at the beginning of July 2006. It wasn’t until last winter that I took a break from GW2. You managed to undo 7 years of strong followship in a single year. I suppose it is only fair that just after my 8th anniversary of playing this game, you go and put in what seems to be the final nail in the coffin for GW’s lore. I loved the game, Bobby, I loved the story. I joined the Test Krewe the moment I could because of such, and defended Anet and did other things that I cannot speak about due to NDA because of my love for the game and its story. But now? That love has all but gone, Bobby, destroyed by the utter clusterkitten to the lore that Scarlet Briar was (and what the kitten is with that over propagandizing of Scarlet? She’s not a good character, stop trying to pretend she is – Abaddon and Shiro were far better villains, and they never got an ounce of the attention Scarlet’s getting), and now by further contradictions and now outright making old lore “malleable”.

Old, established lore are the pillars of a continuing story. A poor writer does retroactive continuities. A good writer works in a way to explain why old ‘facts’ became ‘lies’ and uses that to boost the story. A great writer puts in what they want while not destroying the established pillars of the story. GW1 throughout its lifespan did the last; GW2 at release did the middle; and the Living Story is the first.

I don’t think I even want to play the game anymore, Bobby. I truly don’t. I think this will end up being my last post on the forums. For now, though, I’ll continue log in to unlock the future stories, and I’ll stalk the forums – only in hopes that you (ArenaNet’s writers) and Guild Wars returns to being a great story made by great writers.

First off, I have a lot of respect for you from when we were two of the most contributing users of the GW1 wiki (I’m Kirbman).

Seriously though, someone messing up a single number (Scarlet’s age) is enough to tear down eight years of devotion? That seems like a huge overreaction. This is something that can be easily remedied by Anet.

Yes, being told that only in-game lore is written in stone is bad, but I can definitely understand not wanting what individual Anet employees say during interviews and what appears on T-shirts to force the direction of the lore. If they can keep the lore from the games, books, and lore articles consistent, I’ll be happy.

Also, Shiro and Abaddon definitely received a significant amount of attention, considering that each got their own game. Abaddon is certainly cool, being an evil god and all, but Shiro was a very flat and even boring villain. Most of his actions didn’t even make sense, and chunks of his story went unexplained.

Thanks for all the effort. I know this only benefits a small section of people, but any GW1 lore that could be folded into the story in a sensible way would be greatly appreciated by me and probably many others that played the first game.

The subtle mention of Bergen Hot Springs getting their healing power from the ley lines is pretty awesome. Not to overlook the obvious inclusion of Tangle Root and Dry Top, both of which were GW1 maps.

Okay, after talking to Verizon customer support for the past two hours, and showing them Gaile’s response, their response to the DNS problem is this:

The packets are leaving Verizon’s network, as evidenced by server tracert tests, so the DNS problem is not within their network.

Queensdale's Death

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: EnemyCrusher.7324

EnemyCrusher.7324

  • A massive hit to Economic Action (or Economic Movement, if you prefer that term)

This change’s effect on the economy will likely be so minuscule that, unless for some reason you’re tracking the rate at which 5-slot bags are entering the trading post, the change will be unnoticeable. The most significant change will likely be a slight increase in price of the “container” items that drop in Queensdale, which will help new players earn money a tiny, tiny bit faster.

  • A not-inconsiderable hit to getting new players/alts to higher levels quickly and easily (no one wants to stay in the starter zones for an eternity, and the trains were a fine way of getting you up to level 30 fast)

Almost everything you do in the game gives you experience, even sPvP now. Actually playing the game is a MUCH better way to level than hoping your low level character can keep up with the champ train and do enough damage to get credit.

  • A detrimental effect on the game’s presentation to new players (difficulty, opportunity, necessity of teamwork, etc.)

So players who first start the game see a group of 50 people appear, kill 6 things in a row and repeat. If I started a new game and saw that as the content of the game, I would never play that game again. It’s better that new players don’t immediately have the most boring aspect of the game (farming) shoved down their throats.

  • A clear and fundamental shift from what Guild Wars 2 prided itself on offering apart from other MMORPGs: a cross-world experience for all players, young and old, that would be made available and enjoyable to players regardless of their in-game level.

I’m not going to counter this, because this doesn’t make any sense. (I haven’t read through the responses though, so if you explained this in a later comment, I missed it.)

Feedback/Questions: Legendaries in Wardrobe

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: EnemyCrusher.7324

EnemyCrusher.7324

The best solution to this will be if they un-bind all legendary weapons with this patch. That way everyone can decide which legendaries to re-bind (thereby unlocking the skin) and which to sell.

One could make the same argument for Black Lion exchange skins or really expensive exotics (such as Volcanus), but that creates a grey area, so it’s probably best to only un-bind legendary weapons.

Now that I think about it, duplicate purchases of gem store skins should be refunded too.

Discourage teamwork, encourage leeching

in Battle for Lion’s Arch - Aftermath

Posted by: EnemyCrusher.7324

EnemyCrusher.7324

I’m enjoying this chapter of the living story, but I’ve noticed that there are a lot of achievements for players who leech group events. This is very detrimental to cooperation, and I hope this isn’t a sign of a new direction for achievements. As a commander who is trying to help everyone succeed, these are all very frustrating.

  • Bigger, But Not Faster – Successfully dodge every assault knight’s Extraction attack.
    • Players looking to get this achievement won’t join the fight until the last 10% so that they don’t have to dodge much.
  • No More Tricks, Scarlet – Defeat Scarlet’s Prime Hologram without being hit by lasers or their lingering scorch marks.
    • Players just stand off to the side and leech this whole fight to get this achievement.
  • In Tune – While fighting Scarlet’s Prime Hologram, never hit a hologram without the respective attunement.
    • Players hit the main hologram a few times and then leech the rest of the match because they don’t want to accidentally hit any holograms with the wrong attunement.
  • Keep Your Distance – Defeat the Aetherblade Admiral without being hit by her teleport attack.
    • Players hit the Aetherblade Admiral enough to get credit and then stay out of range to get the achievement
  • Light Show – Kill the Aether Cannoneer without being hit by the Aetherblade Megalaser
    • Coordinating against this boss involves kiting him into the megalaser. Players show up just for the achievement, and run away from the megalaser, preventing the cannoneer from getting hit by it. Most of those players also refuse to stop using projectiles while he is reflecting, so they constantly down the few players who are actually trying to kite the cannoneer. This results in the only players not getting the achievement are the few who actually caused the event to succeed.

Dishonourable - rage quit punishment?

in PvP

Posted by: EnemyCrusher.7324

EnemyCrusher.7324

This would work better if you gave us the option to chose what maps we want to play. In my case you are just forcing me to play Skyhammer when the maps comes up in SoloQ.
If you could chose the maps you want for soloq and still quit the the punishment would be ok but if you are forced to play a broken map like Skyhammer which you don’t like 2 times in a row you get punished for nothing. I thought the hole idea was to have fun playing the game not being forced into something you don’t like.

Ressing a 7 month old thread, that is unrelated to Skyhammer, to complain about Skyhammer? Really?

If you want to pick the map, play hotjoin. If you’re playing for rewards, then you don’t get to pick. If you’re just looking to avoid Skyhammer but still get good rewards, enter team queue.

The main idea was that because of one map you can’t choose you could get dishonorable because you can get two in a row. Starting with this year I decided to no longer play that map just because I wouldn’t be fair to the other players. There are threads and threads about Skyhammer and yet Anet doesn’t do anything. If they don’t care why should I? And to make matters worst you may end up not being able to play spvp for one or more days because of dishonorable.
I play team areana when I have a team assembled and we are on TS. And also I like to play solo and team because they challenge you in different ways.

So you think that you should be able to ragequit without getting dishonor because you don’t like one of the maps? How would that be fair to anyone else?

So the leaderboards should favor people with more wins more heavily. That I agree with.

“Something about bonfires” is about as much as we know on how the Hylek figured out some details. The Hylek also weren’t too keen on sharing that info as the Priory weren’t directly told.

I’m not fully sure how a bonfire would help with poison analysis… unless it involves cremation.

I forgot about that bonfires part. It could be related to cremation, but it could also be that gathering around bonfires causes the poison to come out in the sweat. I feel like it’s probably something more interesting though.

Unless the hyleks where affected by it somehow years ago and they did know where it’s from even if the hyleks are not the “creators” of it.

What if the miasma is from Tequatl? Hyleks are known flee from the sea because of dragons, and maybe some hyleks fleed to land because of Tequatl. Maybe tequatl poisoned some hyleks and they learned how it works that way, and maybe scarlet did get that poison…

There is a lot of “maybes” but i don’t think hyleks are the poison source.

That sounds feasible. We do use hylek turrets to cleanse the poison in the fight against Tequatl. Although Scarlet hardly seemed to be harvesting that poison during the fight.

Hylek poison!

Some Priory members said that the hylek told them that the poison will find its way out of the body over time, but the Priory didn’t know why the hylek knew about the poison.

Scarlet trained with the hylek for a while back before becoming Scarlet, and that’s the only part of her training that hasn’t played a role yet.

There’s already an underwater world boss, but people don’t play it very often because it takes some effort to get to. It’s at the end of Flame Temple Tombs and requires about 5 players to beat.

That is true and there are a few Champ sharks about also

What Im thinking of though is something on the scale of Fire Elemental, Shadow Behemoth and the Dragon Champions etc

Huge World bosses like that
we don’t have anything like that in Gw2

You’re referring to the “epic” rank bosses. True, Rhendak the Crazed is only a champion. I think it would be cool to have a world boss that required coordinated attacks from both water and land at the same time.

Collaborative Development: Edge of the Mists

in CDI

Posted by: EnemyCrusher.7324

EnemyCrusher.7324

I wanted to pivot to something that Luna mentioned early in the thread, the idea of a more complex fight for Stonemist.

Would it make Stonemist feel too difficult to capture if the assaulting team had to capture and hold 3 capture points? Here are some of the problems I see with it.

1) It would encourage everyone defending to just blob up on one point and hold out as a group.
2) It could be so difficult to actually accomplish that it becomes nearly impossible to flip Stonemist.

However, I think it would be an improvement to the current rush the middle of the room scenario.

Do any of you think this version of Stonemist would be an improvement or does it not really make any positive changes in your mind?

Stonemist currently hosts the best fights in WvW. This suggestion would likely end that, and ruin the chances of an underdog ever flipping it.

Cool new living story wallpapers! (Ever since we lost the preview page, I have no new backgrounds!)

The living story pages are still there, they just don’t go up a week early anymore. Here’s the current one: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/releases/february-18-2014/

Slaying Potions, the double-edged sword

All of the potions were fixed with the update on Tuesday, but the release note got missed. It was while I was confirming that the fix went out that I spotted the issue with the Scarlet’s Armies potion, so that got fixed in the later update.

I’ve been curious about this recently but no one I talked to knew if they had been fixed or not. Thanks for getting back to us!

Haha, glad to see I wasn’t the only one who couldn’t resist some doomsaying in LA.

If the devs don't play spvp why should we?

in PvP

I try to dabble.

Edit: In before Powerr comes in and makes us all look bad.

Edit2: For the record, almost all of those QP are from when it went to 1 QP a win. =p

Can’t help loving this game ;/

Watch us play at 2 today!

Why don’t your tournament wins add up? Do matches from before solo arena was added not count as team arena?

Also how do you guys feel about the huge reward gap between solo and team arenas?

Halp! Open Match Chests Nao?

Please change glory boosters into a consumable that directly gives glory, similar to a Chalice of Glory but something like 100-200 glory each would be much more appropriate than simply removing them.

got dishonor for the first time

in PvP

hi guys just wanted to let you guys know that anet finally replyed to my ticket(only took them 5 days) and this was what i got:

“Thank you for contacting the Guild Wars 2 Support Team.

You are considered Dishonorable because teammates repeatedly reported you for leeching, or because you repeatedly abandoned your team in Random Arenas, Alliance Battles, or Competitive Missions. You may not participate in PvP until this effect expires.

This is an effect placed upon an account that has accumulated ten or more dishonor points and lasts one minute for each dishonor point that account has received. Similar to most effects, it is displayed in the effects monitor.
Although dishonor points can only be bestowed while playing in Random Arenas, Alliance Battles, or Competitive Missions, the Dishonorable effect prevents you from entering any PvP mission, including Heroes’ Ascent, Codex Arena and Guild Battles.

Please contact us again if you have further questions.

Regards,

GM Anduril
Guild Wars 2 Support Team

Now i must ask , do they really read our emails? Are they playing the same game as us?

Is that real? It looks like copypasta from GW1 support.

What Happened To WvW?

in WvW

Posted by: EnemyCrusher.7324

PvE is the solution though.

If you find a way to combine both the PvE community and WvW community towards a common goal = 24/7 map fills on all servers in WvW (or something like it).

Don’t believe me? Look at the server populations, majority of the servers are high, very high, or full for NA. If that entire population were to contribute to WvW there would be no “coverage problem.”

The separation of PvE players and WvW players is the problem we are facing now. Servers that are either full or very high but are mainly filled with PvE players that contribute nothing to the servers WvW.

If you can figure out a way to tap into that PvE population, the issue with coverage problems in WvW are gone.

Ideas?
- Dragons in WvW. Kill a dragon = get the castle and dragon protects your castle.
- What would WvWers do then? Protect the PvEr’s trying to take a tower/castle.
- No more siege, at all.
- Make the map into a LoL style map, meaning WvWers are trying to push a “lane” while the PvEr’s are trying to take castles/towers on enemy lines.

No.

“PvE only” players don’t do WvW because they don’t want to go up against other players. Adding PvE content to WvW will not change their minds. Adding PvE achievements to WvW will get them in temporarily (as seen with a few LS updates) but they hate it.

WvW players don’t want maps full of PvE zergs running around hitting whatever commanders tell them to. Most WvW players don’t want PvE content getting in the way of real WvW, like the toxic alliance did recently.

I don’t think any of those four ideas would appeal to PvE players or WvW players.

Gift of Battle rank requirement update

in WvW

Posted by: EnemyCrusher.7324

EnemyCrusher.7324

The rank requirement was a step in the right direction, but let’s be honest: you can just buy rank 30 with the laurels and badges you get from achievement rewards in PvE.

Josh isn’t gone, but his focus will be shifted. I’m not taking his job, he was actually filling in for me while I was gone. He’ll be around, and with us on Ready Up still, just won’t be as active on the forums or behind the scenes.

As for skyhammer in solo arena, we’re kicking around some ideas (definitely not ignoring you guys, just fyi). As of right now, we have no plans to remove it. We’re not quite convinced yet that the majority of our pvp population want it gone, so we’re trying to get metrics on that before we make any changes.

I love Skyhammer.

I’ve been entering team queue since it’s rewards got buffed to be more than twice those in solo queue, and I’ve missed playing that map. Don’t let me vocal minority of Skyhammer haters convince you guys to do anything that isn’t in the best interest of the community.
