Guild Wars 2

That`ll explain why they`ve not fixed Ele` then.
would have to relocate that npc ;p

Hey folks.

Last couple days when I`ve been on Elementalist, when I`ve used Ride The Lightning at timse it just sits where I started from, but worse is when either use this or flame leap forward using daggers there`ve been quite a few times where I just can`t move at all, wether in mist/RTL/leap.

My character will just be stood there, I can`t turn using keys/mouse nor move in any direction. (tried two keyboards, it`s not that).

Also, Magnetic Grasp, this happens in excess of 50% of the time, where I use it to grab a player/mob & I`ll be dragged towards them, only to be locked in a stun myself. All of these are kind of killing me too many times.

Just returned to this zone after longish time away & this heart still doesn`t work
“Fight Life-stealing Minions in Hellion Forest!”

There`re no ghostsly spiders, minions nor npcs/loggers that will intteract with me in any form.

Got the same problem, started yesterday & is even more visible today, even from fresh log in.

Finally can get on with the story, although I still feel ripped.
GW1 ending loot was great.

Originally wanted weapon swap because going through bags looking for both weapons is a pain, but if I use staff for WvWs, bosses etc, I`m stuck with that.
Any player comes at me I`m kitten`d.
Staff against melee is pointless, where as daggers we stand a chance.

Gimme swap already!! (& a downed state that is of use)

Hey folks.

Slight (cough) problem.
Enemy had arrow carts set in the SM puzzle near the caged animals.
These arrows are going through walls/ceilings of the tunnel.

What weapon are you using to get this?
stares at TP in anticipation

Definitely would like auto loot, todays WvWs saw fair few kills & know I lost some bags & worse, some times you can see a bag & can`t get it due to it being amongst enemy players or…

Freakiie.8940:

Wait, Elementalists are balanced in 5vs5 but suck in WvW? What have you been smoking?

WvW is about the only thing they are actually good at due to their AoEs.

Until someone sees your Ele` & its extended “Ooh, let`s stand still unprotected & cast easily dodgeable AoEs” & then rushes over & kills you in one second…

I got sick of the low damage, constant near death etc the other day that I left my 80 Ele` & logged my 25 crappy geared Guardian (which hadn`t used since shortly after live).
Entered WvWs just to play the puzzle & potter about.
En route ran into huge fight, ended up with 1v4 on me.
Roughly 25 second fight, killed one, almost killed another & even then downed state took one down.
The Ele` may be fun, but there`re times I just get sick of having to do 300% more panic button attunement rolling etc just to do what anything else can do in a second or three.

Ravenheart.5134:

Hey Fishbait I hope you don’t mind me posting this on -> http://9gag.com/gag/5407896/

Not at all, happy posting
lol just checked the link, excellent screenie ;p

Hey folks.

Any chance of letting us keep our mini maps upon death?
Kind of odd that we lose them, but handy for playeres downed to see friendlies nearby that can/may res, without them going to main map & clicking waypoint before we`ve had chance to do anything.

Also, possibility to see players names when mouse over on mini map &/or possibly right click to whisper, add etc.
Handy for first suggestion, but also easier to see when cronies are nearby.

Lastly (for now).
Camera spinning when dead.
Please, for the lurve of the six gods, can we have an option to get shot of this?
It`s completely pointless, annoying & a pain in the kitten!

Almost forgot.
Minis on mini map. Any chance of not showing these pwease?

There`s a chest IN the Dark Room?
Where?
Or do you mean the one at the end of the puzzle jumping near the gate?

Why did the Ele` cross the road?
Because there was a scary OP critter nearby.

Handy star.
Whilst we can`t see name plates through walls etc, that thing shows up from miles away ;D

Any chance of adding these?
Today ran into some players running about invisible until they attacked & can`t report them as don`t know wtf they are.

Hey folks.

Any chance of making it so that we can`t interact with npcs when in combat?
Several times I`ve been in stories/events & in a mad rush killing & looting at the same time, only to constantly have some npc nearby pop up dialogue.

That or make npcs bindable to some other key.

Grr, that`s a pile of kitten
Thanks for info` though.

Just logged onto Guardian I`ve not used since just after game went live & my daily/monthly achievements are all showing complete.
Whilst I`ve done these on my Ele` (R.I.P.) surely these don`t go across characters do they?

Judging by the silence from them (tumbleweed), I`m guessing either they`re very busy trying to fix it or they`re wrapping up warm for when hell freezes over ;p

Not sure if bugged or….

On my elementalist (yeah yeah, I`m a masochist…) I can`t cast whilst jumping or falling.
ie: When on a wall in WvWs I can`t jump & cast skill 2 on Staff & use it.
When falling I can`t use Earth shield (right hand bars, forgotten its name)

kublai.8694:

Come up with some original material please. This joke has been done to death in every game.

Surely you mean “done to Ele`”? ;p

haha brilliant!

Although I have to say us Ele`s are OP, as can be witnessed anywhere in Tyria….

Just randomly found this & another thread about the same bags.
I`m just going back to the Story (<—Ele` so given up on PvP) & would really like to know what`s going on with the lootables.

Kind of don`t want to do this now until I`ve seen something`s been sorted as I imagine load so fothers wouldn`t either.

melkathi.5203:

Doesn’t the slash-command /killme that works in other MMOs work here? That’s a shame then…

Downed state for Ele` is so useless in PvP that I do want it for Ele` (I have alts as in all games, also as in all games I never use them ;p), but I did say add it to all just to be fair, but tbh all others have it easy compared to Ele` when downed. (Not sure about Warriors, mine hasn`t died yet lol)

I play Dagger/dagger & whilst it`s fun (most of the time) it`s Staff play in WvWvWs (& I imagine dungeons also, not done any).
Great, you`d think, but Staff damage is kind of very low & is for throwing sparkles onto/down from walls. CCs are long casts, so also little use against players.
Get any player (or critter) in sight & they head straight for you, even if a billion players in front of you.
Staff is virtually useless when toe to toe & this is why we need weapon swap.
Fine, if they don`t want us having 40 skills to traispe through, at least add it so we don`t just have to keep doing Alt-F4 due to getting sick of being kitten`d on & have a choice when we`re heading into/being targetted in combat…

Arenanet originally said something along the lines of Elementalists don`t have weapon swap because it`s a difficult profession to start with & this`d only confuse more, but if needed it may be added.

Well, guess what…..

/grovel

Hey folks.

Tearing about in nomal zones I use a set spec that isn`t any good in WvWs.
sPvP has a system in it that lets you use a spec that you want different to other places.

Any chance of doing the same for WvWs?

What it really feels like to play Elementalist…

Hey folks.

Any chance of this added to the downed state seeing as how terribad Elementalist downed state is?
Perhaps to all just to be fair.
Saves us the hassle using skill 2 to root the enemy when they`re stood on our corpse & 3 skill which we can`t use because of its CD or because we`ve pressed 2 & can`t cancel casting…

Perhaps lowering the damage/costs instead. Would stop folk coming in for free repairs.
Another idea.
Get rid of WvWs waypoint costs
1S+ every time you die is pricier then it is in “normal” world for nearest waypoint travel.
Surprised (but not very) last night to see two players running about all butt naked.
This expense is a tad OTT.

Seconded.
Great idea.

Hey folks.

Major problems abound in this zone.
We`ve got a mix of mobs not showing so we can`t do the events.
Also having to do the “cover the road with ash” voiced event several times to fill the bar before it shows completed, despite getting a gold/silver etc shield each time.

Don`t know anything about the death parts, but for Survivor (assuming you mean Experience Survivor), for some reason you have to do it in one run.
Even map changes cancels it & you`ve to start over.

No, never, not in a billion Tyrian years!

I don`t want anyone using /follow on me for any reason.
Already got enough to contend with without them being afk & dragging more mobs onto me.

No doubt it`ll get added though, but if you have to, make it only visible option when in party & only then as sending an option to the person that is selected as a followee (new word? ;p) so they can decline if they don`t want the hassle of it all.

Or better still, just don`t add it in game, ever…

Drake Phoenix.6158:

On the one hand, I see a point with limiting or reducing drop rates when someone is farming the same location or event, especially as a means to prevent botting.

Maybe have a popup asking a simple question whenever a player kills like 50 of the same monster in a short time frame (not counting DEs)?.

Like, what is yellow+blue : green.

Or a simple captcha, I don’t know.

I like the idea of a requester perhaps popping up with some simple random question, but not mid screen (like the feckin` Join/Re/Leave queue one does) but top left like the guild invites is

NOT a Captcha though. Some of those are beyond stupid online & in game I`d just Alt F4 the game without a second though.

I don`t mind them in normal world, mostly, but in WvWs where you don`t make a single penny some nights….

As if we`re not squishy enough already, no interrupts once in downed state.
Grasping Earth is a tad very bad as chances are the player/mob is already chewing on our bones.
Mist CD is weird & on the rare occasion I get to use it when I need it most, I`ve already pressed 2 & can`t interrupt that cast, by which time GE is half way through casting & I`m already dead.
ty Mist, perhaps see you next time (in The Mists ;p)

I made Charr originally during the BWEs because I knew without a doubt I`d be playing Spinach, I mean Sylvari & wasn`t keen on the Charr (not sure if because played bit of GW1 or something…).

By the second BWE, that was it, I was hooked.
Charr animations, story lines, /threaten, confused jump sound (/huh)…
Having now seen Sylvari I can`t play one because it`s not Charr

Hey folks.

Not a bug but couldn`t find a suggestions page (probably with very good reason)

Is there a way to move this upto where guild, party etc invites show at top left of the screen?

Either that or make it not show when we`re mid combat?

/grovel

Hey folks.

rant inc`

Curious if it`s just me grumbling how much I (really really) hate this or does every other Charr…

Downed state & camera rotating, constantly rotating… :$

Playing an Elementalist, so when downed I`ve no interrupts which is bad enough, but having to replace the camera so I can see the enemy players (& mobs) & rushing to select lowest ones to pick on, only to have to reset the camera once it starts moving again & again & again…

In Guild Wars when dead (no downed state in that) the camera would pan/spin/rotate etc, but once you placed it in one position with the mouse, it would stay there.
wtb that
/grovel

Also with a recent patch the camera seems extremely close in any time I`m downed, having to zoom out every time…) to see somewhat clearer on what`s going on around me, but this is also hampered by the funky screen edge markings.

I`ve an Asura (rat ;p) & others & they`re so much easier to see things when downed.
I know picking largest sized Charr may not of been wise move now, but how about normalising the camera distances to make it equal visibility?

rant over (until I go back into PvP ;p)

I see no reason why we shouldn`t have weapon swap, at least once out of combat.
Worst is getting stuck in combat, having to find some critter or just /sit & die & then search through all the junk in bags, find items, right click, left click, then set about what we were doing ten minutes ago

Elementalist with staff great for throwing fire etc at walls. Just don`t expect to live 1v1 ;p

Seconded.
Being an Ele` I`ve too much to do already, auto looting would be an excellent addition

Been wondering about this.
Mine`s been stuck at 71,544/75,000 for ages.
Only recently found out that it resets when you change map zones etc, but isn`t the bar meant to go back to zero?

Makes finding out how far you are kind of impossible.

eUnD.3156:

heres mine. love this little asura

Holy Bat socks, that looks good!

Ah thanks.
Good that the pigeon doesn`t eat it.
Shame though, some mail I wanted to keep from the game

Hey folks.

Does anyone know for certain what the amount of mail you can have in your mail before it`s full?
I`d read ten during BWEs but want to be sure.

Also, does any mail received after these just stack awaiting space or does the pigeon eat them (for services rendered?

You can`t right click mail can you?
I`ve tried as have had five g spammers so far & doesn`t give me any options
