Guild Wars 2

Fix RTL!
RTL made conal. If we`re facing away, we don`t want sending back to our target, we want to escape.
Fix Magnetic Grasp (this works better then it did, but not good enough).
Lower (or just remove CDs on Attunement swapping(why lower damage AND increase CDs in previous builds? /sigh)).
Give Scepter users something better/faster then Dragons Tooth. I`d be amazed if that has ever hit anyone.
Remove player cap on AoEs. (that doesn`t make sense at all..)
Weapon swap.
Improve downed state. Players/mobs just follow the cloud & can down us before 3 is off of CD /next-to-useless.

Edit: Almost forgot.
Fall damage reduction, like every other profession has.

Over the last weekend had a couple of zergs appear out of the blue, didn`t see a thing until too late.
At one point I swam to Garrison, was almost out of the water & my hp just vanished, second later I was downed.
Typing in chat when all of a sudden a few (3-5) players appeared around my corpse, so yes, this is still happening.

Weapon swap would be easy.
Stick it on a cd like others.
Can also set it so if you use skill 1 using Staff, then weapon swap, skill 1 is on some cd when switch to daggers or what ever you`d use.

That or do what I now do. Flat out refuse to rummage through bags constantly & /sit back & yawn & stare at the scenery ;p

As for conjured weapons, meh!
Short use time on them stops melee Ele`/Ranged Ele` from using the opposite & if you hope to find your other spawned weapon when your current one runs out,, someone`s already half inched it, so tough

Someone linked me these via Twitter.

Auto targeting is off, learnt that mistake during betas

Hey folks.

Double click to lose target isn`t working. I have to use to to use RTL for escaping but it has never worked for me & have been spamming left click on the rare bit of spare screen space & it makes little difference.

Pressing escape isn`t an option as it also stops players running which isn`t what we need.

Instead of double click, how about making it click once (even if just as an option) to lose target?

That or make RTL not send players to their target if they`re facing away.

Screenie added. 13,415 hp now. wtf?

Orbs of power have recently been removed from WvW. Your realm likely held multiple orbs the last time you played (you don’t have to be winning to have the orbs). Those gave a whopping 5% HP boost per orb held (among other stat increases). That would put you at 15427 HP if your realm had all 3.

As you can see they were very powerful which is why they were removed. They would usually make a server that was already winning even stronger.

Nah, it`s not down to Orbs.
They were removed before last weeks match & I was at 14.747hp, post this weeks reset I`m at 13,549.
Even with the 5% in theory, I`ve a huge clump of health missing I can`t afford.

I had (still use it) an Ele` in GW1, fun times.

Whilst I seem to be lucky lately in getting kills & out of some scrapes I probably shouldn`t be able to, I`ve almost completely given up using Staff unless I`m swarmed by others from our server, just not worth it.

Erm, weird thing.

Entered WvWs after todays servers rematches & noticed my hp was even lower. Exact same gear, daggers etc. Went to Orr just in casse some local bug & no change.

Anyone else lost a huge chuck of hp?

WvWvW server bonus. I guess you were winning in the last matchup and now with the reset are not.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Power_of_the_Mists

Hmm, could be that, but I`m still sure my hp was higher the previous weeks when we lost.

Shame this doesn`t show on the buffs icons also.

Hey folks.

Wasn`t sure if been altered or glitched, but been to visit the beached Whales & can see them from a distance, but start to head towards them they just vanish.

Underworld server.

Just been in WvWs again, my hp was a meagre 14.747. I`m guessing low, (compared to my level 3 (even if made to 80) of 26.434 isn`t amusing at all)
I`ve a Guardian rat alt, don`t recall it`s hp but it`s also low, but it can block/out-heal/out-damage Ele` any day.

As for Thief, sheesh! 100% stealth some of them, the one thing I`m sure Arenanet said wouldn`t happen in game, unless I recall wrongly /shrug

Hey folks.

I was pondering after a mate logged first time in weeks. He plays Ranger & his hp was quite a lot higher then mine, despite I`m full exotic clothies (Clerics, easiest to craft).

Got miffed at a few things so logged my level three Necro bank alt, went into WvWs & saw it had 26.434 hp with just whites & the odd random blue item. (also making it possible to jump from places I know would kill my Ele` & similar Ele` faceplant falls the Necro just goes Meh! & carries on running)

This seems silly to me, that another clothie can have double the hp that another clothie can, but I was wondering…

What is the average hp of your Elementalists?

Perhaps remove the need to type “/wave @” & just use “/wave”?
It`s the small things.
(not you Asuran, shoo!)

This still really needs looking into.

Same problem, I ran eternal puzzle, got to the cages where some Necro near the chains above hit me once & then afk`d for gawd knows how long.
Meanwhile I`m stuck in combat, can`t make some of the jumps making this a complete waste of time.

Same with keeps. I can rush in past attackers, run up ramp & around to the front, only to still be in combat & can`t weapon swap unless i go to the back of the keep, stand there for long enough & then hope they`re not already in.

For the dead gods, please put a timer on this, so if any player hasn`t hit another player/mob for a set amount of time, we get out of combat!

Had this happen off & on also.
If I ever see an Ele` with flappy fire bird, enemy or friendly in need of help, I`ll head the other direction without a care.
LOUD! incarnate.

Seen plenty comment on this problem in other threads, yet to see any official reply.
Major pain in MK this was.
Did my first dungeon (CoF 1&2). One of those saw someone fall from what looked like a small height, carried on running with barely any hp missing.
I plummeted & died.

:$

Few of us mentioned this during the BWEs as it got a bit silly.
They`ve set the thing to stop us from repeating text, where as it would be much better stopping us from sending too much over a short period of time instead.
Even typing “ty” for a res` more then 2-3 times you get hit with it lol

Hey folks.

Being a full sized Charr I have major need of this.
Some puzzles/story mode(inside buildings etc) all I can see is the back, or worse, the inside of my character, making some things more of a pain in the posterior then they should be.

Or, how about something mounted to a wall near puzzles that players can click to average out their sizes.

I`ve got an Asuran that I can usually clear puzzles the first or second time, but on a large Charr….

:$

/grovel

Same in WvWs, the teasing lil` things giving us a sly flash of candy reality.

I`m (in years to come) hoping for the leg-end dagger & yes, it`s not as “ohwowwtf” awesome as the greatsword, but for one obvious reason.
They`re teeny tiny & there`s only so much you can put on something so small.
Perhaps the only other thing that could`ve been added would`ve been to change the characters look whilst equipping it, but lot of effort there I guess.

I like the MK events dagger skin, looks funky.

Same at my end, extremely sloooow download.
4-12kbs.

Virgin internot UK.

Shhhhush!" Don`t tell them!.
Ah too late

Would like this as standard though.

/grovel.

Hey folks.

Saw:
Be heard! Seek wisdom! Join a conversation with fellow adventurers, or start your own.
on top of forums today & thought I`d have a nosey, but it doesn`t link to anything.

Seconded, or fifteenth, whatever number this is.

Both of these are extremely fun.
Would definitely like to see them being made a permanent fixture.

Playing in MK instance last night, died due to fall damage & getting immediately tickled by a spider.
Similarly, further falls killed me out right when every other player (lowbies included) could survive.
I`m used to this at times in WvW so thought nothing of it.
I joked “wtb slowfall/blink at last second” when someone in the group asked why I didn`t trait for fall damage reduction.
I said there wasn`t such a trait, but double checked.

I had no idea until that conversation that everyone, except for Ele` had this.
Why on Tyria don`t we?

Already lower hp then just about everyone else, surely being a clothie we should fall/land better then medium/heavy geared folk?

If you want to go OTT, put the three minis in the mystic forge & you`ll get a skelly toting two chainsaws.
Youtube it first though, trust me

Always had bother with this, today just reminded me of it.
Clicked it to hit MK, MK vanished & went other side of platform, I went the other direction completely & was stunned.

/sigh

Enjoy.

The Dwarves come back to life & help rebuild it

Just tried to enter via overflow group & Underworld, getting the same results.

Edit: Working again

LoreChief.8391:

I would just like to put in a few suggestions that others may not be aware of;

1. Turn on the beta-FoV. It helps immensely, especially for us shortie asurans.

2. Big players in the way? Don’t worry about seeing your own character, just keep your camera at a consistent zoom and keep your eyes pointed at the spot on your screen where your character is.

3. Don’t stop for chests, they aren’t worth it.

4. When you get past the pink gears and are wondering “where the hell am I supposed to go now!?” Just run and jump straight forward and land on the gear way down below.

5. Any gears you have to jump on that are standing vertically; don’t run across them, just hop hop hop until you can get off them.

6. Time is a pretty big deal in this race, but there is a point where it’s not THAT big of a deal anymore. Specifically when you start climbing up the pink beams/gears, just take your time (not too much but don’t be in such a hurry that you get careless). Second time you don’t have to worry is after you make the big leap to the lower-gear and run past the U gear.

7. Lightning will strike the clock face on it’s second rotation when you get up there. Another way to look at it is when the green miasma reaches the bottom of the clock-block. It’ll be practically flush with miasma and you now know when the clockface is about to face you, just jump at it.

If you still need some pointers about this; message me in game. Hell if you’re on Yak’s Bend I’ll even go in with you and escort you if I can.

There`s an FoV?
Ooh, where?

Definitely impressed at my end.

Didn`t have any luck with the Clock tower, but that`s my problem (Charr & camera & me being useless hehe).

Wasn`t upset like some folk about loot, random is random is rnomad ;p

Oddly, I don`t like any sort of moba type game, but randomly entered Reaper thing & stayed for hours, fun stuff indeed!

The Villagers v Ghosts, kittenn, especially when I almost killed two ghost players with a bone.

This is only act 3, amazing stuff & not even over.

/pats Arenanet on the back.

Statue of the lion from The Wizard of Oz.
Now that`d be both mad & amazingly epic

80 D/D Ele`, died six times, thanks to RTL & Magnetic Grasp leaving me in stune /sigh.

Was fun, but, erm….
White axe & white bow?

Well that was brilliant!!

I guess I should`ve read the clickable instead of entering solo, but completed it anyway hehe

Hey folks.

I`ll hopefully start sPvP soon, but wondere4d if anyone`d found a way to block the “Who hit you/for what damage/recount” page mid screen.

Not just to close it once it`s up, but stop it permanently.

Just one of those things that bug the kitten out of me.

Thanks in advance.

Flying minkeys, I mean monkeys (I really hope!!!).

If not that, a game of hide `n` seek in some underworld realm?

Creslin.1758:

Soooo…

Majorly buffing our downstate, ring of earth skill, and making it easier to land fire grab and lightning touch
=
Nothing?

It`s not exactly a major buff though is it.

Sure being able to go into cloudy form straight away is a good improvement from the previous very lengthy cd, but the enemy players/mobs still just follow the cloud & down you the second you`re out of that form.

That combined with the root still keeping the player/mob stood on top of your inc` corpse, just drags things out

DiogoSilva.7089:

This has been repeating many times, and apparently it’s never ending.

The problems with range can and should be fixed with Conjure Weapons. Yes, conjures kinda suck at the moment, but that’s the source of the problem, not the lack of weapon swapping.

I`ve tried using conjured weapons on & off since the betas.
to say they suck is putting it politely

Tried again last night, they last for 30 seconds, so if I`m running D/D & some ranger is hitting me in WvWs, he can out heal what they do, assuming anything even hits them.

900 range? Meh! If we`re being hit by range, frostbow will be of next to zero use.

Poor rats, I mean Asurans, humans etc.
All those puzzles you can do with ease, this is our (Norn/Charr)revenge ;p

daphoenix.4283:

@TGSlasher

I dont live in australia :/. I live in america. I’m not sure how lag / latency will factor in if we party up :S

@ Permafrost
I posted my gear on post 1 (its a block of text), and my future gear set too. I use the same thing for PvE and PvP too. The build I’m currently running trait wise is the same as the build calculator. I’ll try and compile everything on the first post

---

I’m a noob at making videos, but I just recorded some seriously epic battles today. It’s 40 mins of nonstop action with almost every technique imaginable all in one video.

On a unrelated topic: Whats the best method to commentate on your videos after you capture it?

Audacity is a great & freely available audio capture s/ware.
You could record your post commentary & add that as a second sound layer in your editing s/ware easily enough.
That or add text on top of the clip or add Youtube annotations etc.

How about the more obvious option?

Give us weapon swap, but keep it so that whatever skill we`ve just used is still on cd for that numbered skill regardless of weapon.

There`d be no cries about OP heals, no Oh kitten! Dead two seconds later because someone saw the Ele` free kill (Hell, even I playing Ele` will target other Ele`, even if they`re middle of a huge pack ;p). No more Kitten, I`m stuck in combat yet again etc…

We already have the lowest health, of which I still don`t understand why.

There`s no reason why a caster class should be stuck to range with lengthy casts for defence that don`t do enough when a player is on top of you, nor D/D & having to /sit & /twiddle, because guards/players are hitting you from walls & you can`t do anything.

Every profession can run about with ranged & melee stuff, Ele` lost out here big time.

Hey folks.

Curious, have we been stealth nerfed or bugged?

Been trrying to res players daft enough to stand in AoE, when I get hit I use Mist form but now it`s breaking my attempt to res them.

Worse, just now in WvWs, went Mist Form to res another AoE fan, but it just kept saying Invulnerable.

Anyone else had this, is it bug or silly nerf?
Thieffs can down/res during stealth, others can speed down a player ettc, hope this is just a bug…

:(

A thanks from my ele` also.
Luckily not had the chance to test out the new downed state, but that it`s been done is great.
Here`s hoping for the rest now

Edit: Hmm, just done WvW & got mobbed, first time tried to use skill 2 it had a 2 sec cd, but bugged I guess.
Next 2-3 times it went off split second I clicked it
But what`s with skill 3 now? Is that meant to be on a cd also & is this cd not meant to start until I leave cloud form?
Using the cloud so that everyone & their dog can follow me, then skill 3 being on a cd (assuming it wasn`t a glitch each time) it doesn`t interupt, the first time I fluked & got to use it, enemy didn`t even flinch & it wass just another drawn out death

/sigh

Magnetic Grasp, that worked well, except for 3 times when I was back in the good old “Stunned/panicked” mode.
RTL, well, just…….

They`re not all that bad, sort of.

I do rant at times, especially in WvWs when I`m D/D to stand a chance of doing damage/surviving, then having to rummage through bhags to get staff to event dint a door/wall etc, only for a guard (on the walls) to target me before any action even starts & I can``t et near it, yet there`re other players in between me & it that it ignores.

Our HP for what we do/are isn`t right I think.

I can run around Orr with ease, except for the mobs that just constantly stun you, but the other day grouped with a randomer to down the Champions in the boat.
Warrior, new to the zone, was pounding these things much harder then I ever could, yet I had to constantly await CDs on attunements etc.

Few days before, same place, a Guardian. They were taking 3-4 mobs & asking me to be their healer.

/sigh

Paraphrased:
“What`s the difference between a Norn & an Asuran?”
“About six foot.”

Tee-hee!

Nah, we had a mad rush quite some time before the (excellent new) patch, went all manic there

I take it the other servers can`t either then?

Hey folks.

We currently can`t re enter our own Borderlands.
Any time I click the wayponit I get the “Cqn`t log in due to probably firewall settings” etc.

Suicide button at 12-12 seconds seem extremely lengthy.
Considering once an Ele` is downed it`ss generally dead in a second or three, you`d get as much chance to use it now as you do Mist/Vapor form.
