Guild Wars 2

conditions are nerfed overall 50% damage we didnt need it prepatch why would we now.

CalamityO.2890:

When you want something nerfed……..

LOL thats like a warrior fighting engineer

Extreme.8350:

u just got outplayed idk why u even bother playing pvt u could do something like knight armor with cavalier trinkets and still be a tank and actually contribute

Off topic, PVT does higher damage than knight/cavalier due to the pitiful amounts of power that kind of armor has.

ok then its just ur class which is sucks rr theif and hf dont be a baby

im worried if they fix this it will be back to how it was prepatch. while others still goes around with buffed damage. we cant 1 shot so they take mesmer with izerk or smt.
Grenades have poor scaling with crit damage.
the only OP about them is when same target hit for both piercing and explosion damage. There is no other projectiles which can do that for a reason.

Stop defending an exploit, and stop showing how low the community have become. It is really saddening that people rely on exploit to be successful and try to justify it because they have an easy time.

Read my post. Its op how they can pierce and aoe same target.
So thats what they should fix not just kneejerk nerf it down to useless maybe even just remove piercing and increase the velocity.
but after what they nerfed mokittenamage by 28% nothing suprise me anymore.

Darknicrofia.2604:

yes, in the mean while lets give guardian staff 1 10k damage per attack too, that would be hilarious

and make ranger barrage instantly do all their damage over 1 sec, that would just be a regular hoot and a half

guardian has always been meta in every team even in wvw all i see is staffdians
they even have highest dps when buildt for it.
paragon archtype with highest dps how unbalanced is that? no it i’sent ele fgs got nerfed.
they gutted our turrets and mortar shows that noobs on forum got too much power

Glass cannon kills glass cannon nothing new

the specialisations are not done there will be more updates to it

idk wat u r doing but i am smashing players left and right
git gud it takes skill to burst down players before they call for backup

→ metabattle.com
pro tip dont try to play a tank its useless

I couldent find this on ur list but sometimes overcharge on healing turret
takes too long to activate up to 3 seconds! its game breaking a heal that could save u does nothing please adress this

Please tell me this is fair. At least for a thief bs you have to set things up.This is just X_X

that is a BUG its suppose to be 6 grenades but they pierce devs will fix it

Natto.5819:

It seems like it’s doable, since in Tera you can make child characters. The difference is, they have long animal-like ears. In the Korean version, they can even wear skimpy armor. So it’s not like it’s not allowed.

I could make one with an Asura, but they are ugly.

I played TERA for an hour, noticed those characters and got creeped out by that.

Legally, yeah it’s probably allowed. Morally? Nope.

I love elins all the normal armors are not skimpy and the outfits who are is really expensive stuff also its not humans they are adults !

u all make it seem like direct wasen’t buffed newsflash u can 1 shot players with it now

Silverkey.2078:

Well but that’s the thing, PvE does not care so much of those stats so if they could get 3 “real” offensive stats, they will be happy. On the other hand, PvP uses defensive while keeping high condition damage which is unfair. So both want the same thing really: 3 offensive condi stats, so that if you get more defense, you loose some offense, but if you want to be a condi glass-cannon you can.

Condition damage, Condition duration, Precision
already are…

NO! condi builds r unplayable without it! the culprit here is guardian justice if u r going to nerf something start there

u just got outplayed idk why u even bother playing pvt u could do something like knight armor with cavalier trinkets and still be a tank and actually contribute

Would be long time that we get this. Every modern computer can choose how he is running things. Low machines running 32 Bit and DX9 and powermachines 64 BIT with DX12. That should not really a big problem.

Its a problem for me cuz my pc can run max dx 11 and there is almost none dx 12 games so it should be a big problem…

DX11 cards can support a lot of the DX12 API. There are already benches with the CPU load aspect on DX12 using DX11 based cards. So no, its not really a problem.

Thats interesting but im not touching win10 in its current state. mostly cuz of bugs but also cuz of the weird privacy policy.
I have a friend who uinstalled after a plethora of bluescreens.

no they r basicly not mraps anymore but kevlar vest
speccing for full tank shoulden’t even be a thing if they dont want the trinity
either there is tank and healers or dodge they dont want trinity so might as well
reward timing burst skills if they are striving for esports.
NO ONE wants to watch 2 players poking eachother with sticks for 5 min on 1 point.
its a snooze fest i LOVE this patch but i can see there will be nerfs and were right back to where they started with bunkers.
also in pve u see players advertising NEED GUARDDDD and it haven’t changed
thats the only thing they need others are filler slots again and again its what i see.

No offense mate but you’re right it is very bad so do you have a laptop?
else you might want to start a completely new build
if you want to keep you’re case and motherboard however
you could get this cpu
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117408
this gpu
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500306&cm_re=GeForce_GTX_760-_-14-500-306-_-Product
as well as 500w power supply or better.
Also this game is not that optimised to take full potential of the gpu
as most new games that means you need a pretty decent cpu.

this made me sad when i read it my engi only did around 2k dmg anywhere from 1500 – 2200 zerging in wvw. u cant rly play with zerg without it as engi
so idk wat exactly they r trying to do here rangers r already better from range
necros have better conditions. atleast they could give us some condition resist to turrets.

they r the most played class also why they r the least nerfed
u dont see anyone post on forum OMFG GUARD OP cuz 60% play them

Looks like we’re going to need to start bringing group support to dungeons.

People have been bringing group support to dungeons since 2012.

Can confirm, I was playing sonic boon warrior back in the golden age.

I think OP’s group was missing an anchor guard…

u mean necro?

PaxTheGreatOne.9472:

I’d suggest A-Net looks into a differnt approach, and leaves conditions for now as they are and tries the following

Healing could be implemented as a defence versus conditions like
Toughness is implemented as a defnece versus direct damage

It sounds logical, and a direct reduction of condition damage could be achieved?
ppl could spec for a build being tanky or condi resistant or both.

then everyone would spec in longbow ranger until they fix it again
ppl r always going to play the best build if u bring bunkers enemies bring condis

We cant even have BASE dmg on 750 condi dmg whats next 1000? is that also op?
we dont even get + duration from traits anymore wth

Einlanzer.1627:

I wanted to chime in and agree with the common sentiment that the issue isn’t with the new condition formulas, it’s with the skill balance.

Some condition-applying skills are very obviously over-tuned and some are just as obviously under-tuned. This has really always been the case and has always been ignored (sword auto for warrior vs. thief auto for pistol), it’s just more obvious now.

yea so buff the skills which is useless why make it useless for everyone

Is condi not nerfed enough already? u need 750 just to get the base dmg pre patch
i mean cmon r condi builds suppose to be free kills or smt?

Fluff Kamisama.3417:

I don’t understand..how adding more builds and more ways to play your class…“dumbed down/cookie cutter”

STOP USING ZERKS and make something fun for once. God kitten meta games. Every single one of them are the same in every game

Damage > everything

Meta = I don’t want to play this game. How do I make it ungodly easy??

We actually have way fewer build possibilities now than we did before. Someone did the math somewhere and the difference is huge.

Fewer possibilities? did u count the useless traits? like falling dmg 100 armor while ressing 1 second of poison on weapon swap elite skill 10% less recharge?
If ur gonna count posibilities u should consider traits actually worth using.
They merged lot of trash traits.

@mallyx nobody can apply 500 stacks of conditions even on jungle wurm boss it didnt go over 120 with +40 players but it died in 10 seconds anyway

I second this on my ele i could fight the same player the whole match now stuff dies

lol this is like “we tried it in beta…”

Pickles.9436:

welcome to the new meta. Please wait at least 2 months before complaining about said meta, so everyone has a chance to just spec into it.

I’m hoping for power, toughness, vitality really…

That was the meta in wvw for so long and those toxic players would tell rangers and condi players to uinstall now let us rangers have our fun

RAM Speeds (Lowest CL on the highest speed possible for your OC)
Highest Single core IPC (4790K stock is the FASTEST cpu, period)
Fastest PCIE bridge (Version 3)

Is what makes FPS faster

OT: none of this will give you a noticeable performance boost in real world usage.
RAM never limits anything graphic wise.
Even the 4 year old 2xxx Intels deliver enough performance. It’s always the GPU power that limits first.
There is no difference between pcie 2.0 and 3.0 because you never have such a huge data transfer in simple games. 2.0 bandwidth is more than enough not to limit your fps.

Don’t spend too much money on fancy CPU or RAM. It’s still the GPU you wanna care about most.

u call me a idiot? im speaking from exp i upgraded
from 3×4gb to 6×4gb 8cas trippel channel ram and the FPS boost in gw2 was significant
u know theory and practise dosent always add up
about datatransfer i did run a memory testing tool from bios a while ago
it shows my memory transfer rate is 9,6mb/s
its quite possible “this simple game” could use that.

Odd since bleed wasn’t buffed…

I guess stacking to 1500 isn’t a “Buff” for bleeding

that is a fix condis were never suppose to stop doing damage its just too stressing
on their servers

The following changes need to happen to GW2 for it to be ‘competitive’ down the road

1. 64bit client support so that the application can poll more then 3.25GB of ram
2. API upgrade to support multithreaded rendering
3. better GPU vRAM usage utilization
4. more vector math done at the GPU rather then CPU (AKA Character model limit settings)

Until these things are done, the game is going to be in 2010. No matter how ‘pretty’ it looks. And as new content gets added its just going to keep on getting slower and slower.

Agree with all those things for the time being ram speed seem to be a bandaid solution for fps even more so than cpu clockspeed.

I upgraded from 12 to 24gb ram about 4 months ago and i got a huge fps boost.
It dosent use more than 3gb ram but the ram speed in trippel channel did help.
Maybe not on better chipsets but i can play this on high settings with 80-120 fps.

So how long did it take for u to figure out the game is unbalanced?
how many builds did u try

Apart from the fact there are some really broken stuff (pu for example), I don’t think it’s a rocket science to figure out the damage that can be dealt is in complete inbalance to hp and armour pools. I’m not saying that the game is broken, but it will definitely need some balance.

Thats what i love about it that u cant just facetank
all heavy attacks in pvp and expect to win
fighting somone and down them only for them to get ressed by 2 teammates
in the last second is some of the most infuriating about pvp now its not that simple

So how long did it take for u to figure out the game is unbalanced?

The release has been out for 4 hours. It’s a little early to tell.

Is this all there is to the new system or is there going to be more?
I heard something about elite specs

I am curious you know about elite specializations but not the fact they are expansion only. Interesting.

ok that sum it up thanks

Seems to be better but im in a t6 server

Love it baddies r just mad cuz they cant just pop all their protection skills and 5 man zerg to victory anymore

Sir Meta.3402:

Because 32 bit can run on 64 bit.
But 64 bit game cannot run at all on 32 bit windows.
So as long they do not need more than 2-4 GB memory, why choose the extra work of having to maintain two version of the same game.

cuz of native multithreading and better technology
u cant call ur pc a gaming pc if u have a 32 bit system

I felt special with my fervid censer <3 after it return so many have it

I dont want u to do anything i just say it as it is no reason to explain

Dude, your thread title is literally telling us to do something.
If you didn’t want to convey a message, you wouldn’t have made a post on the forum in the first place, so don’t give me that rubbish.

i just wanted to see ur reaction turned out as expected

GeekDavid.2786:

Follow your own advice. Buy it or don’t buy it, but don’t try to tell us what to do or not to do.

I didnt

Manasa Devi.7958:

You realize that everyone WILL buy it or not buy it, right?

A statement that logically evaluates to true does not void the desire for discussion.

What this guy wants us to do is sit down and shut up.

I dont want u to do anything i just say it as it is no reason to explain

posting about how u dont like the price change nothing

For gaming windows 7 is best it beat win8 with some nanoseconds…
Windows 10 is still in beta i had a friend with win 10 he vent back to win7 cuz of bugs
also the infamous blue screen of death from nothing.
