Guild Wars 2

Firstly i dont even use uplevels for wvw, but seeing my poor uplevel teammates get targeted by greedy thieves first because they 2 shot them is kind of not cool.

It’d probably be better if the enemy could not see the green arrow next to your name.

just a thought.

This is a 5 free for all. Each player starts with 1 “Soul” when they die they drop their soul. players can commune to souls and gain them for increased stats.

if a player manages to collect all 5 souls, he gains “Reapers Aura” which is like the human racial but much more powerful. range of 600 around the player is the poison aura, ticks for 400 health. range of 400 around the player is the chill aura. Reaper’s Aura holder also gains +250 to each stat.

each soul grants players +50 bonus stats and +5% health.

Match will end if The player who has reaper’s aura kills everyone or until time limit expires.

You can not respawn if you were killed by the player who has reapers aura and that person is still alive (if reapers auraplayer died, you can respawn)

Tyler Chapman.1832:

• Don’t reinforce fights your team has no chance of winning, communicate and regroup!*

“Why arent you helping??? you noob”
is a common response to people who have brain enough to follow that advice

i know, pretty off topic but i wanted to say it :v

Fenrir.5493:

No sustain?, you have a healing pool you even have a free one when you start to revive someone, you have acces to regen too.

Also, bunkers dont rely specifically on healing but enduring damage, the only class that regenerates to everything is ranger.

What are you talking about?
The healing on necromancer is horrible.
Best classes at bunkering are the only professions capable to heal for a decent amount (Engineer, Guardian, Elementalists).

someone doesnt know about ranger heals…

because char can eat them and norns can punt them 50 yards

this happens quite often to me when im trying to view a thread.

have no idea how to fix it

Cyhann.2609:

Because Node Conquest is more fun than a silly moba where you have to level up while playing, and kill mobs. This is pvp not pve, svanir/uthsomething and the lord are bad enough to deal with.

Also the way you described it, it would require a major rework for all classes, a thief
for example could solo 5 people in the begining, and condis would wreck even more,
since many remover are optained via traits.

how can a thief solo 5 people with no traits and 1 utility?

im just saying, conquest is not fun for many people. actually most of my tournament friends are very bored of tournaments.

i think itd be a lot more fun with people adapting and counterplaying people.

itd be funny if the isgarren was a fugitive with some court issuing arrests for him. and isgarren isnt really his name its just an alias and his real name is Garren.

i found it humorous

why not not make a moba style map where your character progressively levels up and gains gear with stats? maybe reduce the level cap to like 14 (allowing 5 trait points to be allocated per level) 3 lanes, defensive structures along the path, a “jungle” type area with mob camps, even bushes that make you invisible to anyone standing out side of them.

the gear could maybe be something like, you unlock your amulet at level 1, rings at 4 and 6, and earings at 8 and 10. (doesnt have to be the trinkets, but itd be nice to have the stats added on s you progress the match, not have a amulet that gives you all the stats)

or you could gain gear points from killing mobs and players, and then “plus” them onto your amulet. and also use the same gear points to unlock the runes on your armor and sigils for your weapons for use.(you go in with 6 runes, but dont get their effects until you “plus” sufficient gear points on to them) this will allow people to choose whether or not they want the amulet stats, rune effects, or sigil effects.

i know someone going to say this isnt a moba game, but mobas are fun because of their moba mechanics. gw2 is seriously lacking in “fun” pvp modes imo. its to the point when winning tournaments isnt even fun.

I had posted this to another thread, but i felt like i wanted to share my thoughts on how the pvp in gw2 is. its not a whining thread although it does contain negative feedback. just keep in mind these are honest thoughts.

i have over a thousand matches played (mostly tournaments) and ive pretty much given up on gw2 serious pvp.

when i first started playing this game, i couldnt wait to discover all the things i could do with the classes and i felt like i could play how i wanted to.

but when it comes down to it the combat system is just too cluttered and seems like it wasnt made for any kind of pvp environment at all

for example people can have multiple boons and multiple conditions on them at once. which that person may or may not be able to cleanse the conditions, likewise, he may or may not get his boons ripped off him. yay a guessing game. sounds fun. not.

imo there are too many conditions and too many boons that can be applied. the emphasis on these types of mechanics is too strong imo. bleeds, poisons, etc, are able to be applied way to often which in turn makes it neccesary to replace a fun skill or 2 with boring conditions removals. (imo when it comes down to it, using a skill to kick someone or to ressurect someone is a LOT more fun than pressing the button simply to remove conditions) and ultimately was just a bad design choice in my opinion. direct damage with a SIDE of damage over time effects should have been the way to deal damage, not how it currently is where someone can build specifically for damage over time effects. sometimes, thats like asking a room full of good tennis players to go play baseball with a room full of good baseball players because you pretty much have to guess if the team youre playing against is going to use conditions or direct damage forms of dps. (and you cant adapt DURING the fight, much like mobas like league of legends offer)

most times, when im fighting i spend as much or more time looking at my conditions area to see if an icon that needs to be cleansed pop up. (remember they promised no wack-a-mole mechanics? they lied.)

conquest is just plain boring. same classes doing the same things every game. youre either a bunker or youre not. its not fun at all standing on a point for the entire game, much of time with out any enemy presence. congrats you stood on a point for 15 minutes straight. did you win? yes. was it fun? no. not at all. you pretty much HAVE to know something is wrong when winning does not equal fun in your game.

so many flashes and sparks and glitter stuff flying around sometimes its hard to see where youre at. this also brings the problem of missing out on visual ques of incoming enemy abilities (warrior final thrust, mesmer magic bullet, thief basilisk poison, guardian banish, etc) which effectively makes it so you cant do anything until its too late.

all in all, it just does not seem like the way this game was designed that itd be capable of competitive, exciting, balanced pvp gameplay and in my opinion will never shine in the esports world.

edit: on a side note, i really think the combat system works great in pve.I believe they NAILED it when it comes to having fun in pve.when i first started playing i was like, “i just poisoned him and set him on fire, thats great, and its fun” but in pvp if i was poisoned and set on fire it is now “i need to use this boring condition removal instead of my fun aoe knock back” Id be willing to play this game for pve content like the living story and such, but the same combat system just doesnt work in pvp imo.

this would destroy gw2 along with the east side of california and maybe some of the polar ice caps.

pls no.

when i first tried gw2 beta i was playing tera and i had felt that tera had ruined the gw2 experience for me. i felt as if i was running in mud when i switched from tera to gw2.

now that i main gw2 its the same effect to other games.

point is if you play another game youll get used to it. even if play some old game like perfect world after playing gw2, youll get used to it.

its legitimate farming i swear!

vrgadin.1943:

how many gems, basicly how much will it cost?

if you go to a high pop server itd cost you around 60 gold.

i said this in another thread that said the same thing bassically.

what makes stealth stomp seem over powered is that thieves can get stealth literally whenever the hell they want. no other class has on demand stability, unvlunerability, etc that comes from a couple skills on their weapons.

a guardian cant gain stability by using his weapons
an ele cant gain invulnerablity by using his weapons

and so on

theif is the only class that can prepare himself to make a stomp on someone simply by using his weapons combo fields

my solution is to simply have the thief immediately revealed if he is trying to stomp with stealth that came from his combo field, but not revealed if he is using stealth from a utility such as shadow refuge, putting him in line with the other classes.

everybody would be running aoe cc like necro fear or warrior hammer

no

this just a really bad idea and you should feel bad

JustTrogdor.7892:

PvP must be a ghost town because there have been several recent threads about ways to get people into PvP.

not really on my server which i think is medium pop. theres always atleast 20 people running around the lobby.

im honestly curious as to how a free pvp experience would affect the game playerbase wise and how itd affect our goal to become a big esports area.

I didnt post this into the suggestions because this isnt really a suggestion, im more curious as to just the answers to the question

anyways, WHAT IF it was completely free for anyone to download guild wars 2 for free, and play the PVP part of the game for free? (youd still have to buy the game to play in pve and wvw)

again, im not suggesting this to happen, im just curious as to what might happen regarding esports and such.

edit: i mean its completely free to play every class, with no gimmicks such as “this trait line isnt avaiable to free users” and such. a completely free pvp experience with no limitations.

Esplen.3940:

Hi all, as the title says its the suggestion to remove player killing in the World vs World, either that or remove them entirely or at very least stop putting achievements that require doing said World vs World.

The reason I make this suggestion, as a lot of you already know, is because every single time I attempt to simple do the World vs World I get over run by players simply trolling the map, I’ve attempted to fight them however there is often more than one and I just don’t know anybody willing to be a body guard and frankly I shouldn’t need to resort to that.

I understand that it is there for WvW oriented players to also experience PvP however I feel like letting players kill each other here just promotes the trolling behavior, which obviously only works out nicely for the trolls.

Above all else it just ruins the experience of getting 100% with content and makes me and I’d assume others not bother with it meaning people miss out because someone wanted to get their thrills, if ArenaNet want to support players like that then I suppose I’m boned but I hope its not the case and would appear not to be when you look at other aspects of the game.

So to summarise, giving people the ability to kill other players who simply wish to play the World vs World makes the content literally impossible for some to complete and not to mention the nasty behavior this system promotes is all a bit naff and frankly, at least in my opinion, needs to be changed.

Apologies for the wall of text!

wat

you can already type out blyad when someone in your party messes up

what more do you need

in rift i once asked a GM that happened to be online and through the bombardment of questions he was receiving in world chat he answered me and said “over 9000”

well, itd literally take a few years to get rank 80 in pvp, try to go for that. lol

Zenith.6403:

What are you here for exactly? Did you just come here to insult me?

all i did was tell you that theres no reason to cry about FREE TO PLAY mmos selling small conveniences to make money.

if you take that as an insult, that isnt my fault.

Zenith.6403:

Envy.1679:

theres nothing immoral about it.

- About what?

do please try to follow the conversation.

im not here to argue, if you think its “bad” to make money of a game by selling your players conveniences then all i can tell you is that you are naive as to how free to play mmos work.

sure if the game had a subscription, i might consider your argument a bit more seriously.

but seeing how this game is just buy to play, it’d be my opinion that your opinion is wrong. which is all it really comes down too.

try not to take this thread off topic as im agreeing to disagree with you.

embarrassed to be in a guild?

that sounds pretty bad.

t-tokens im referring to tournament tokens you get from tpvp.

you get free and paid ones.

it’d be nice if we can use these to buy different things. maybe even just pvp mats. maybe pve mats as well.

just SOMETHING

Zenith.6403:

Envy.1679:

… theres nothing wrong with trying to make money off of what youve spent hundreds of employees and tens of thousands of working hours not to mention the money it takes to build this game over a period of 6 years without them making a single dime from cash shop purchases.

- Monetizing out of inconvenience you caused is immoral, not the want to pay your employees.

theres nothing immoral about it. theyre not forcing you to play their game. very much less so are you being forced to pay for small conveniences.

its not like theyre making you pay to finish the game or to experience whole content or anything.

stop crying about very unintrusive methods of the games way of making money.

And my axe!

Zenith.6403:

Some companies have adopted this immoral idea that by making the game deliberately inconvenient you can later sell convenience to the player for profit. Short on storage space? Buy a bank tab (600 gems). Not yet short on storage space? Here, have these small stacks of loot you should collect 5… nah 10 stacks to get the thing you want. This is certainly what happened with Fractal Relics. Running out of harvesting tools? Get infinite gathering tool (800 gems) for limited time, character bound.

… theres nothing wrong with trying to make money off of what youve spent hundreds of employees and tens of thousands of working hours not to mention the money it takes to build this game over a period of 6 years without them making a single dime from cash shop purchases.

“immoral idea” you done durped.

aophts.9862:

Wow, the aggressiveness on those comments.

well when OP is whining, threatening to quit the game, and demanding a refund all because he wants the dungeon easier, he pretty much deserves it.

it used to be like that. it isnt a bug, they changed it to this way on purpose.

now stop your whining.

i lost my guitar pick

is your sylvari named nikki minaj by any chance?

the way to do it currently is type

pretty easy

This skills need be stun break to cure or convert fear.

condition removals =/= stun break. theyre not in need of fixing.

How can i remove fear if i am disabeld and fleeing?

maybe you can, i dont know, use balanced stance or dolyak signet…

Ronah.2869:

Envy.1679:

why do you want to force all the people who want to wvw to pve?

does not make sense to me what soever

WvW is not a pure PvP.

i know that, but the fact that hes asking to make ALL three sides allies to fight dragons is PURE PVE.

its a very bad idea.

Envy.1679:

you can convert it to gold.

use it to buy boxes, salvage your pvp locker, buy consumable tokens and make a bunch of unidentified dyes.

pretty time intensive , but it does make you money.

Pretty sure those dyes are account bound.. but I’d have to look it up.

Yep, Account Bound.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mystic_Forge#Structured_PvP

you can use them and you can sell the discovered dyes. which arent account bound.

At least someone understanded the idea but well others prefer to keep playing stupid, what can i say.

WoW for example had a “Target Nearest Enemy Player” when you press tab you dont scroll to npc or mobs, you only target players.

maybe next time you can SAY that instead of telling everyone theyre stupid for misunderstanding. if someone misunderstands something its your fault that you didnt explain it in a different way.

learn to write your ideas better, youre writing skills are horrible.

The tittle is very clear, also, your writing skills are horrible too, not using capital letters when they are suppoused to be used, hohoho.

at least people can understand what i mean when i type…

P.S. how many times are you going to misspell title?

replace all my skills with every professions biggest heal skills

this is probably the worst idea ive come across in a few months.

dat face!

wodjowmcowm

Dem fireworks!

TheDaiBish.9735:

What class does have useful healing skills that a) aren’t tied to skill 6 or b) aren’t traited?

In tems of control effects, staff Eles have Frozen Ground, Lightning Surge, Gust, Static Field and Unsteady Ground on their weapon. Escape skills include Burning Retreat and Windboune Speed. Eruption and Geyser both together can combo for area healing.

Then you got Healing skills, one that heals whenever you use an attack, one that gives you a boon when used and then one that clears conditions.

Then the utilities. Water, Air and Earth signets can be used as damage mitigation (blind to miss, water and earth to get away). Lightning Flash is a teleport, Arcane Shield blocks 3 attacks, Mist Form makes you invulnerable for a time, Armour of Earth gives you Protection and Stability.

That’s not going into the Traits as well.

Staff Ele solo has a higher skill requirement to play solo effectively, but it is possible.

gaurdians can group heal for 4k without traits and can heal for 500-1000 every few seconds.

are you saying eles are underpowered?

i think you need to learn more about the class.

i think they should make a new ui specifically for instruments.. not have the notes played from your skill bars, rather an on-screen keyboard where all the notes are accessible via the the whole keyboard

AntiGw.9367:

CrisisHotline.3958:

I don’t think that anyone in particular is wrong, though the argument of what is or is not a gold/karma sink a bit off topic. Not everyone can be expected to agree or even play the same way, and simply having an existing alternative does not make it attractive to some players or invalidate the desires of others for a more reasonable option.

Perhaps we can refocus on the merits of the initial suggestion based on existing and previous gem store items, or perhaps offer improvements or alterations?

The argument about gold sinks is not off topic. Gold sinks remove lots of gold from the game, reducing inflation. Waypoint costs do just that.

Buying a wp cost eliminator would significantly reduce that process. You pay real money once, and all that in-game gold stays inside the game.

Having that in mind just shows how ridiculous the comparison of wp costs with harvesting tools was.

people buy gem store items, prices of gems go up, more money is sinked through higher prices of gems when people buy gems with gold. no inflation here.

Phantaram.1265:

The slow and steady balancing part is also something that just blows my mind. What made them want to give necros SO much at once? Necros had practically sat there using the same exact build since the release and then one day BOOM. You have tons of new stuff. Not very slow and steady.

they changed it so quickly because they wanted the upcoming tournament to be as balanced as they could, and they didnt want people to have to relearn every couple of weeks. so they changed it all at once to give peopel time to learn the balance before the tournament.
