Basically, people were getting past 10k AP since 2012. Pretty sure not all exploiters were caught and had their AP removed. I played since the headstart, but quitted for a year+, only came back to this game like 2 weeks ago, standing with 6.1k AP.
Here’s my account of Guild Wars 2. I left gw2 about a year+ ago and played Final Fantasy XIV till last 2 weeks, got bored of the constant disbandment of endgame dungeon raid group which requires really good reflexes, team coordination and VoIP communication. Endgame dungeon there punishes mistakes really hard and there is a hard enrage timer.
Came back to Guild Wars 2 for 2 weeks now. Logged in everyday and it feels like a breath of fresh air. No stress on catching up and no steep vertical gear progression. Unlike FFXIV, with every x.1 patch our previous endgame gear are no longer BiS.
So you want to make it so Staff Elementalists (and other AoE abusing builds) can take down entire zergs by themselves and become massively overpowered? Because that’s probably what would happen, causing ANet to pull a massive AoE nerf across the board that would effect PvE as well and make AoE useless. I SAY NAY!
The problem is the Zerg mentality. All of you who oppose removing AoE limit are all for Zerg.
I agree with the TS. There’s a reason for AoE to be called Area of Effect. It should affect the whole Area not 5 random targets even if the spells is visually affecting the entire area. If there are 10 brainless nuts willingly stand in the AoE then let them die from it, why? bcoz they are standing in the AoE. No point limiting it to a number within an area. Meteor storm hits at random spots within the AoE, if a meteor lands on 8 players stacking then they should pay the price for stacking under the meteor.
This jumping puzzle is fun. You should’ve seen it when me, my gf and her bro tried this. First, all of us took bombs and ran but was unsuccessful then they escorted me by killing those griffons and what did you know? I bombed the chest and they could loot it as well, lol.
CnD thiefs are the easiest to counter xD they will always stay near you and all you have to do is AoE and there’ll be a dead thief on the ground coming out of invis. All I can say is move aside thiefs, you’re useless. It’s mesmers who are hard to deal with now.
Some said due to the patch resetting some things, they got additional 10 Laurels from PVP on top of the 10 Laurels they’ve already gotten from PVE. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Or once you spend them, you’re stuck with what u got?
Yup, that’s what the devs said. It’ll be like skill points, non-refundable but you’ll be able to accumulate endless WXP to unlock more passive abilities.
This nerf was long overdue. I’m glad it came because it brought balance to thief’s invisibility. No more hiding in your invisible hole all the time now.
Trinity is for lazy people who can’t shed their traditional way of thinking. Also, Trinity tends to be more boring than the current GW2 combat system.
In Fractals 30+ for example. Without proper team communication and strategy, you go down fast! With trinity, the dps basically dps, the healer basically heals. What strategy is there in trinity? None. All you do as a dps is mash that dps key and all you do as a healer is mash that heal key. Boring.
In GW2, if you fail to predict and evade a boss attack, you’re as good as down especially when going against Lupi. Demanding for Trinity is indirectly saying “I want to be able to stand here and mash the same key while I have someone healing me behind.”.
What GW2 needs is more enemies like Lupi. Where they change their attack patterns based on HP % or difficulty level. Not just +hp +dmg as difficulty goes higher. That’s artificial.
If someone gotta cheat in game to win, then there’s not much to say as to what kind of loser in real-life that person is. Same goes for the people/community who supports that sort of act just sayin’.
Cities should have boss mega events. Since you guys could make events in Ebonhawke, why not cities like Divinity’s Reach? Perhaps some kind of rebel events wanting to overthrow the queen or new bounty NPC in town. Would be so cool to defend our city.
Also cool to see Logan, Lord Faren and such to scram out of their comfort zone and goes like “what in the world..” then begin fighting.
You just gotta work with your server’s WvW population to gain control of the EB Jumping Puzzle. Last night SoR mesmer came and took over the puzzle for a brief moment.
Some of us JQ-ers guarded the entrance to deny any SoR that is headed to get to the mesmer for a portal up and some of us escorted our own mesmer through the puzzle to gain back control at the Arena/Chest. It’s all about denying enemy of free blueprints.
Agreed. Flame Legion and Sons of Svanirs are better fitting for the Flame & Frost theme. Dredge are the least interesting race and not to mention annoying as hell. They represent metal/dirt more than frost.
Any right minded human with integrity and upholds their moral values to a certain extent would know that it is not the right thing to do even if you’re given the right to do it. The argument here is to what extent would you go to for your personal gains? Does that include throwing away your moral values and humanity?
Harathi Hinterlands has a champion giant in a cave on the east side of the map. Skullcrusher or something is it’s name. He spawns a chest too. I guess most people forgotten him since nowadays people craft to 80.
i hope u guys put unique skills on legendary weapons n better stats on them because there so much effort i crafting them i hope u reward the player for putting so much time and effort in crafting their legendary… with better stats n unique skills that comes with that legendary… and one more thing i hope u can craft your legendary with the preferred stats of the crafter that’s all thanks and more power
No, legendary weapons are mainly aesthetics only. It should not give players an edge over the rest just because it is legendary. That isn’t how GW works and that isn’t how ANet works. This is something which will not happen.
>implying you all wouldn’t take 200+ gold from the guild you barely know
It’s something called ethics and integrity that make us human. I hate it when people tells me some kitten stuff like “online stuff stays online, it has nothing to do with real life”. I think it’s the other way around. What you do online truly does reflect who you are in real life.
It might not be against the ToS and it might have been the guild leader overlooking the rights. However, commiting such acts does make u a very kittenty and dishonest human being. Telling yourself it’s the guild leader’s fault for setting such rights doesn’t make u any more innocent.
Does the new chest only drop guaranteed rare or does it also have a chance to drop exotics/precursors? Just need this answered, thanks. As I see it, it’s a good change. Chest drops are supposed to be random and a guaranteed rare was the developer’s kindness to us players. You guys should appreciate you’re still guaranteed a rare.
Kudos to TS for realizing and admitting. To be honest, Ascended gears are fairly easy to obtain. People just have to try fractals out instead of jumping onto the gear grind bandwagon. Here’s to hoping people to look from a different angle and actually try it out before posting negative remarks
Really I think it’s the male version that got kitten here. Yet another long coat as if every other set didn’t already have a long coat. I want male leather chest piece that stops at the waste please! My Charr engi’s legs need to be seen, they are strong and powerful, why must they be shrouded in ugly bulk!
Yes do away with long coats for medium armor! >:( Long coats here, long coats there, long coats everwhere!
Also, do away with those light armor bathrobes. Everywhere I see, male in bathrobes. Sheesh. I mean it.
This kind of thread again. I thought it was a thing of a past alrdy. Basically people who aren’t happy with ascended are those who are lazy to go get them and they want everyone to be on par with them. They want to sit at the crafting station or TP so they could buy the best of everything with gold.
It’s laughable how easy rings are obtainable via fotm, I have a bunch of them in my bank. I already have two amulets, thanks to yet again a laughable easy monthly for march and dailies is just a couple of minutes for me to complete. Accessories might take weeks but so what? At least I’m kept occupied with some guild mission to look forward to.
Today we invited a smaller, friendly guild to join us in our guild bounty. The members of that guild joined our guild, repped for the duration of the event, and they got their rewards. They were really happy. Thanks us several times for including them. Then they went back to their guild.
I’d encourage other medium-large guilds to seek out smaller guilds. You get more people to do your bounties, the other team gets rewards and everyone goes home a winner.
This is really good. Good example here set by a medium/large guild. You guys have the capability to be charitable and doing so really makes you feel generous and happy. You may not gain anything from doing this but it’s a really charitable cause and it also helps promote a good image for your guild. I’ve seen guilds doing this on JQ too. Give yourself a good pat on the back, you deserved it
Sitting there pewpewpewing through a rotation while a tank takes damage and healers fill health bars is just zzzzzzzz to me now.
So having everyone do the exact same thing is somehow more interesting?
Hmmm.
The irony in your reply is too kitten high! Alright, that aside. Trinity is boring and old school, not to mention it’ll sidelines players based on profession. Not a healthy gameplay IMO. Tank takes agro, healer heals tank and dps just dps. No fun at all. With the old stale trinity gameplay gone it opens more room for strategic gameplay and team planning. In all seriousness, trinity is a thing of the past and it should stay there.
Wow, which server are you guys in? Sounds like a server filled with hostility. In JQ, if there are multiple guilds looking for bounties, we usually share all the bounty location so we could start ASAP.
I upgraded my previously pathetic 4gb stock rams to 16gb Corsair Vengeance and bought a SSD just to install games. Loading maps has never been so fast. Used to take 30-60 seconds to transition into another map, now it takes max 5 seconds.
