Guild Wars 2

jerkic.6319:

And for some reason i had the feeling that guardian will have the largest helath pool at lvl 80. Isnt guardian supposed to be the tankiest class in the game?

Guardians have low health because they pretty much use everything else to their defense.

They use a lot of boons, and can apply boons easily, like protection, aegis. They also have several ways to heal. They also have higher base toughness.

I’m 100% sure it will be taken out again after 2 weeks. Then they will continue build more on it, and then open it up again many months later.

ArenaNet upload music a little bit now and then. No worries, you will get the new SAB music too, most likely.

prenavo.3926:

I really really hope it’s both. I missed out on the first one due to RL health issues and was really upset that I missed it. I would love for a dev to clarify this.

I can’t imagine there only being World 2.

Since there is now a ’’Hardmode’’ World 1 must be up.

Soulstar.7812:

Tara Strong voices Scarlet.

Tara Strong also voice the following:
-Batgirl
-Juliet Starling from Lolipop Chainsaw
-Ben Ten
-Bubbles from PPGs
-Chowder
-Harley Quinn
-Raven from Teen Titans
-Rikku FFX
-Supergirl
-Timmy Turner
-Twilight Sparkle from MLP

Keep this in mind if one of your fav characters is the the listand if you are complaining about Scarlet’s voice.

I’ve not seen anything but compliments in this thread about the voice actor. But the character itself is meh.

DarksunG.9537:

Is by far the GW character I hate the most & has almost irreparably ruined GW lore for me. It also made me understand that plot doesn’t make a character good. It’s their character/personality that makes a character good. Heck, we never even got Han Solo’s back ground & he still one of the greatest movie characters ever. He was great in the first 5 minutes on screen.

Scarlet is a supremely annoying childish craaaazy girl with the excruciatingly ridiculous OMG SO POWERFUL back story. Her personality isn’t fun, it’s annoying(the voice acting is great though). Tybalt was fun. Koss was fun. Scarlet is arrogant & “crazy” in a way that is an awful attempt to make her scary & commanding. But in reality it makes it impossible to swallow the idea that she could gather a force like that. This is what makes the “Oh but she saw the Eternal Alchemy” so frustrating. It’s an obviously jump-the-shark power boost to a character that only works on one level: being annoying. Good crazy/powerful character: River Tam. The craziness is real for her. it broke her. but you get little glimpses of her power & she can’t control it (cuz, acting like a sassy teenager isn’t crazy). she’s interesting, believable & you care about her character.

And even worse, it marginalizes much of past lore. They talked about how they wanted to introduce the Mursaat in an epic way. “do it right” well frick, Scarlet will just take em over or kill em. She knows everything. The Mursaat couldn’t hope to grasp all that, even Kormir may not know that much. But here comes the sassy, wacky, rebellious, crrrrraaaazy teenager; Scarlet! The Mursaat, master of magic could only amass a small army. but Scarlet, she’s really crazy, so she can get an infinite number of 3 armies! She obviously knows how the dragons work.

Scarlet could work as a side kick. Someone that a real big bad “lets loose” on people to carve them up. But as a god-level intelligent master mind? Give me a break..

To be honest, I think her character might could have worked if we just got some information about her now and then, but not everything at once.

Scarlet was this mysterious character you didn’t really know who it was, but she created this alliance since Flame & Frost.

But this patch, we got everything throwed at us at once. Meaning, they told us who Scarlet was, what she had done. She had done this, she have seen this, she’s this powerful, she is this, she is that, she’s done everything and she’s smarter than you, and nothing was really mysterious anymore, everything was just annoying about her, and her personality just made it even worse. The voice acting is great though.

If the information about her just came out a little bit slower, and more discrete, it could have worked out.

Gabby.3205:

I find her hilarious and I hate her for what she had done.
I love this conflict. MOAR.

Also, amazing voice acting. Scarlet is the proof of the difference that the voice can make for a character. I am sure a lot of people would like Trahearne better if he had a voice that suits better a leader, for example.

I don’t hate Scarlet. I think she’s a good character, just a little bit annoying. Her voice actor is good, but it’s her voice that annoys me ;P

Nothing beats the appearance of Mad King Thorn though! Nor his voice, I can’t say he’s a successful villain though.

Seras.5702:

+1 for the old log-in screen. The little window now is a step backward in my opinion and have no idea why it was done. The old one was so clean and imposing.

I think it was because it is a clean and fast launcher, that features the current Living Story and updates. It also loads you into the game pretty quick, with no need to open the login screen, then type in your password, and then login.

However, that can be done with a login screen too.

Scarlet is pretty decent. I think she’s more annoying than anything though, not annoying in the good way that I want to know more about her, she is just plain annoying.

My favourite character must be Mad King Thorn. Granted, he’s from original Guild Wars as well, but his voice, riddles, lame jokes, his laugh, just made him so fun, and interesting. As seen in his name, he’s just mad, crazy, an evil being with decent lore going all the way back to original Guild Wars.

The Mexican Cookie.3690:

Good players use good builds. Good builds (for dungeons) = no useless stats = no toughness/vitality/healing power.

Now let’s wait for someone to take the bait.

Ashen.2907:

Rock < Paper.

Rogues are scissor, and Warlocks are mushroom.

Nope.

Rouven.7409:

Who knows, when it launches in china and they hear about cantha … maybe there will be a few million more customers saying “we want an asian themed area!”.
Or something like to that effect.

There’s nothing wrong with an asian themed area.

It’s just pandas that are stupid.

Huehuehue

1.. 2.. 3.. Dodge.

1.. 2.. 3.. Dodge.

As long as kept my vision on the AoE when it spawned it was far too easy to dodge everything.

Kids are not allowed to die in games, otherwise it would’ve been banned in many countries.

No one knows yet how Scarlet have formed stuff and made Alliances, it has not been told yet, but it probably will soon.

I’ve been closing these ’’smaller’’ portals that spawn the wretched watchknights and sometimes steam creatures.

So they don’t count then I suppose? So I need to take part in the second event where I need to kill Atherblade pirates and steam creatures / wretched Knights?

Anyone else that can’t speak to Vorpp after you collected portal information for him?

Logan was a mesmer clone all along!

Remember to like that OP so he gets a star thumbs up, so it gets ArenaNet’s attention even more!

Supporting it. Make an NPC of him.

Huehuehuehue.

I have beaten her, and I agree on some of your points.

This thread is not asking for a nerf, this is a thread asking for ArenaNet to fix to what it should have been.

However, I do not agree to nerf her one-shot ability. While it’s true we have many of them in this game, this time you can actually see (somewhat) what it is that one-shots you, and that is the shadows walking towards you, and the red circled on the ground. (which is pretty hard to see on this tiled floor.)

Michelangelo was a sexist!

kitten him for making a statue of a naked man.

Michelangelo was making ART of the human anatomy. You fail to understand that Michelangelo’s knowledge in anatomy has had a impact on early physicians.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelangelo

No kitten Sherlock.

Did you think I was serious?

I’m just making a fool of the people who goes ‘’ArenaNet are sexists for making Watchknights female.’’

Michelangelo was a sexist!

kitten him for making a statue of a naked man.

Flissy.4093:

Months?

kitten you’re playing the game wrong.

Now tell me… How much time do you spend outside with your friends or family?

Going to work.

Get paid.

Grab Credit Card.

Buy Legendary.

Curae.1837:

The only ‘wrong’ way to play a game is by griefing others.

Well…

I seem to be in trouble.

I play a Guardian.

I used full Clerics gear with a cleric Greatsword, and Cleric Scepter/Focus.

I managed to beat Liadra.

Fancia.3746:

DeWolfe.2174:

Consider yourself either elite skilled or got a good run in. I tried my Settlers and Rampagers for the Pirates several times. Just couldn’t get enough output to get it done in time. Switched to an Ascended Rabid build, retraited for traps, and the first shot got it done. It’s the timer that makes it a Zerker’ish requirement.

It’s not about skill… All the fights are either 100% luck, or 100% gimmick… Such as the pirate crew, is 100% gimmick… You can have very low dps, and still make it in time, IF you kill them in the right order… Take Gaets->Adil->Stitches->Barricus… Just kite Gaets away from Stitches so he doesnt heal… Then burst Adil before Stitches has a chance to heal too much… Akittenesnt have much HP so… This way you dont have Stitches heals increasing the lenght of the fight for more than Barricus… The real important part, is to not begin with Stitches and Barricus… Because Stitches grant regen to all, and Barricus gives 50% evade for all… So they basicly tripple the time it takes to kill anything else after that… Also, dont go for AoE, as whenever you kill one, the rest is healed to max so it’s pointless… Always focus on 1, and dont switch until dead…

Congratulations, you used your brain to figure out the pattern and kill order.

You got skills, son.

Liadri got 2 one-shot abilities. The AoE one, and the walking shadows.

Learn to avoid them, and you’re good. Also learn the pattern of the AoE in the second phase, because the AoE is not appearing randomly, it’s appearing in a pattern.

Use both melee set and ranged set. Check your utilities and see what you can change and take.

Vathill.6125:

I love a challenge.

But this is a slaughter.

You can’t spell slaughter without laugther.

I love this boss, I love how unforgiving it is.

Like how unforgiving Clock Tower was with its timer.

Should be a forever thing, and not a 2 weeks things.

I killed her.

I use full clerics gear with 0/0/10/30/30 traits. Using a lot of condition cleansing with full shouts.

Greatsword with Superior Sigil of Energy.

Scepter with Superior Sigil of Energy, and Focus with Superior Sigil of Force

Super Adventure Box

Well, there are a lot of player models to load.

That’s why Lion’s Arch usually take some time to load.

Robert Hrouda.1327:

I mean… technically the description was correct about applying confusion…

Stop playing around with runes in real life

I killed the boss and thought it was a pretty alright fight.

I definitely think more content like this should be added. Something to work for, that takes a lot of tries and error.

I also believe that ArenaNet must stop with a lot of these one-shot abilities. Sure, it’s fine to have it on some mobs, and bosses, but everything so far seems to have a one-shot ability to just finish you off instantly.

What I also think that sucks is that the arena itself is in the air, and to see something like, AoE rings, you need to look down to see the border of the AoE ring on that really weird tile floor, they are really hard to spot.

And to follow that up, looking down while people are having zerg fest rushes makes your FPS drop like hell on some computers.

It took me around 15 – 19 tries before I managed to kill her.

I was able to beat her on my Guardian.

0/0/10/30/30 traits. Using a lot of condition removal, healing and keeping vigor up for dodging.

Used Scepter/Focus and Greatsword.

I used Greatsword mainly for retaliation and the #5 skill to chain the shadow figures and pull them into the light when too many appeared, and then kept using Scepter on the real enemy.

My whole gear was Clerics with 3 Monk runes and 3 Water runes.

The only thing I dislike is that the Arena was lagging when I was looking down because of the events going down on the ground level.

You need Berserker gear to win the gauntlet.

Evon Gnashblade was a random Charr thrown in versus Ellen Kiel that we have played with since some of the first Living Stories.

I call the voting bullkitten to begin with.

Random Charr character that we know to almost nothing about Vs. Ellen Kiel that we have played with this whole time.

10 years is not normally a Jubilee

And cowards are not normally celebrated as heroes, but Logan’s place in Divinity’s Reach shows us that Krytan pride doesn’t concern itself with details.

I can’t say saving the queen from branded threat is cowardness.

Nope. It’s gone.

Can’t really call it stealth, since stealth is when you are hiding.

This is invisibility without limits.

And yes, I hate it, because it’s so boring to fight professions with stealth, and yes, especially Thief. Thief is such a boring profession to go up against because it can disappear whenever it wants to, without limits.

I think you have to be fighting an enemy for the sword to do its attack. It doesn’t activate or do anything if you aren’t in combat, targeting an enemy.

- or learn English.

Trice.4598:

Where does this idea of people buying Legendary come from? I have yet to come across someone who bought his Legendary.

People who hold such weapon are often very skilled player because they played A LOT and that’s how you become good at something, by doing it over and over.

And what’s wrong with farming to get a Legendary? I know you guys want something HARD not long, but then 1 year later everyone is going to be holding one. While it takes a real player to decide to invest 300 hours into one weapon, not everyone is able to do so.

And please, no matter what you say, Legendary skin are great, unless you’re one of those hipster who wants something not every “everyone” has aka not worth the bang like Mjolnir and Infinite light. There is no way Mjolnir looks better than Juggernault. And Sunrise and Twilight are probably one of the best greatsword skin in the history of MMO and there isn’t that many out there, the 5-10 you see in lion arch are nothing compare to the 250K player loggin on everyday (number from China Report on GW2)

Skilled =/= A lot of playtime

I know loads of people who owns a legendary, and they are really, really, really horrible players.

They stand in AoE circels, they can’t dodge, their traits is completely off with what they use. They do the same mistake over, and over, and over again.

There is -nothing- with a legendary that shows if a player is skilled or not.

No material needed for a legendary has anything to do with skill, only time, farming and a lot of luck.

Players who seems to have 4 ’’legendaries’’.

’’Legendaries’’ that can be bought of trading post.

Everyone and their mother running around with Twilight and Sunrise?

Impressive?

Two-Handed weapons, especially Greatsword should be less interesting to use, because pretty much everyone and their mother runs around with Greatsword, leaving other weapons behind.

I love the shield, I think it’s really useful when you play with others. It’s a teamplay weapon, not a solo weapon.

While the skills for the shield is not that good, I think it works, but I welcome any minor buff that could be given. That being the shield being able to block melee attacks as well.
