Guild Wars 2

Los Re.4607:

PS: I hear some of you speaking for something called “world xp”. Can you explain what is this? I have none and i think my account is bugged. (buggy game)

On the off chance this wasn`t humour…

Press B, tab over to rank abilities.
World xp is the blue/purple bar at the top of there.

Can`t say I was surprised you didn`t see the ele in the tournies, free kills aren`t worth taking into there.

Side note, their ele was actually playing, he had re-rolled warrior because of the state of ele that everyone, except anet, already acknowledge.

pejot.4806:

GuM, you officialy made it to the top of my list of most boring guilds to face (beating Tz from Arborstone, which was a tough thing to do). We want to fight you, not your ACs and supply traps…

P.S. I joined the GuMmies a while back (even though I mainly solo roam) & yes they are good at sieging, but they are also very good at scouting/roaming et al

P.P.S. If anyone else is bored, head to the mills at back of southern mid camp for duels, PvD/ZvZ is as boring as.

Wow! You`re going to use that, when it sells on Ebay for hundreds!?

lol & with the new WvWs league, you can bet it`ll be nothing but ZvD & no one will defend any more.

Whilst I didn`t expect a new map or some real balancing to the server match ups, I thought the big news would be something better then this joke lol

Ah well, can`t say I`m not remotely surprised at just more fluff…

Courtesy of PAX, the new super huge contacts list.
Wow, just wow.
UI has definitely turned to kitten…

cheshirefox.7026:

so just to be clear
to kill a thief, basically what you do is
spread some peanut butter on a soda can.. and tie that to a piece of string
stretch this across a bucket of water, and when the thief comes to eat the peanut butter
it will lose its balance upon eating the peanut butter and drown in the bucket of water

That is the only phrase about balance in this game that has made perfect sense

Got bad news for you then.
They`ve said that you`re more likely to get the new mats from lords then you are anything else.
ZvD is now an almost certainty for months/years to come.

Ye gads, that title!
I seriously thought someone was going to say staff ele is op lol

Except RTL could be stopped. Guardian 3 ball chain thing, Mesmer line pull, ranger knockback & probably more I`ve not noticed.
Worse, in RTL we`re a useless ball of sparks, at least those chilled can still fight/heal etc. Also they have higher hp/armour to boot.
Warriors can trait for any movement skill to remove immobilising effects, fairly sure both cna still move whilst using their copious amount of movement spells, even if a little slower.
Ranger pets can remove conditions, combined with they also get higher damage output as standard, due to ele having to go into 30 arcane/30water just to survive average goings on.

We get stunned, we can`t do kitten & we die.

The main problem is that we`re still either okayish melee only or feeble staff ranged.
Every other profession can do both at press of a button, Warriors traited weapon swap every 4 seconds.

Gimme that, you can keep your RTL..

We all used expensive & bloody rare materials to make exotics, along with buying the recipes on tp or via karma.
We also had to often make more then one, just to try & get to 400 in crafting.

Now, all those recipes we have to rediscover. I want my wasted materials back!
This non grindy game is already the grindiest game I`ve ever played & they just keep making it worse.

SQLOwns.7316:

eles have been nerfed into the ground, that’s just the way it is atm. unfortunately, anet doesn’t seem to be changing this anytime soon……….

You think it`s bad now, get ready for Tuesday, when you run up against those with 1-2 legendaries, whilst the rest of us players are forced into time gated crap before we can even make the new higher stat weapons…

ThiBash.5634:

Fishbait.6723:

Easy fix.
Give ele weapon swap (which it should of had since beta..), but make it so you can only equip D/D – S/D – S/F in first set & can only equip Staff in second set.

Frozen Ground, blast finishers and aura traits are the reason why that’s not a viable option.

But to make use of things like that, you`re going to blow attunement cds etc, which means you`ll more then likely be screwed when swithching back to two handers.

Would that be like when they said we would be able to buy arsended gear in WvWs, yet it took months for even the first items to appear & some still aren`t accessible..

To all those that stated they didn`t want normalised gear, ala spvp, I bet come Tuesday they`ll regret their words.
I know one thief with two legends, glad that is on same server as me.

/sigh

Decklan.7540:

google.3709:

an extra s sigil.. 1,029 + 250(bloodlust) :O! bamm! now pistol is more powerful than rifle ;p

One rifle with bloodlust, one rifle with whatever you want. Get 25 stacks, swap out rifle.
BAM rifle is now more powerful than pistol!

Use that whilst you can.
Dev mentioned it the other day & it is being “looked into”.
aka they`ll make stacks drop once you stick weapons in bags.

The trade off is the collective IQ at anet.
All of these things were pointed out during the stream pre nerf, it has been mentioned continuously since the nerf & not once have they had the balls to reply.

Another dumb move.
Time gated mats blocking players from getting top stats.
Imagine like a thief with two legend daggers, against other players with only exotics because of this time gated crap.
Worse, we can`t even buy/sell them.
What the hell is the point of a tp/crafting system where you can`t even sell the crap?

Save your mats.
The new time gated arsended gear comes out soon.

To the few that chased me in Ms borders today, it was a giggle, so nice to see some roamers still exist.

To those that just blob up & spam 1, when the game lets you, grow a pair.
Come join the pvp, you may find you enjoy it.

See y`all next time.

/big-fat-furry-charr-ele

Saw this earlier & thought “wtf, there is a PTR!? How do so many stupid ideas & bugs get through?”.

WilliamDaBloody.2591:

They probably hand out more of these cards at other events. If you are not there, they probably show up on ebay as well.

Yep, they did.

Even more reason why the tonic should work then.
If it`s okay for one, all should work.

FrownyClown.8402:

if we had weapon swap all you would see is fresh air builds where they would burst you switfch to d/d then burst you again. is no good.

Easy fix.
Give ele weapon swap (which it should of had since beta..), but make it so you can only equip D/D – S/D – S/F in first set & can only equip Staff in second set.

I`d say good luck on this, it is obviously being ignored.
Placing bets if they ever do anything, which I doubt they`ll have the balls to, that they`ll only make it a 30sec cd.

AeroJavi.1687:

No bug.
Go suggest silly stuff like this to a subforum more specific.
Don’t think there’s a subforum for nonsense, though. Being able to play wvw or pvp while transformed would deprive any enemy of a visual hint of what kind of armor are you using, therefore the class you might be, before the engagement.
It’s not likely to be considered.

Yeah, because visible signets overhead & on selected target bar & stuff don`t already make it obvious enough for some…

Vol.5241:

Secure trading will never happen. The TP is in game for a very important reason.

To make the TP flippers richer?

Give trading, so that players can actually trade & make a profit for themselves.

does not work in WvWs.
This tonic doesn`t give players any buffs or anything & it would of been fun to fight in another form, albeit only for five minutes, rather then it being just another wasted bag slot filler.

Yet another carebear “fix” & one that`ll effect the Ele` more then others….

“How often you die?”

Every time I see the latest patch notes.

Nalora.7964:

When I get this bug, the only way out of the stuckage is to dodge roll away once. And yes it has been around since beta and is annoying.

Dodge rolling has never worked for me.
Usually have to wait for a movement spell to come off of cd, but since the stupid 40 second cd to rtl….

/sigh

Used a spell to move to enemy player in WvWs today & got stuck in place, couldn`t move.
This bug has been in since beta, any chance of fixing this crap?

Johje Holan.4607:

Fishbait.6723:

Then get ready for more repair bills, because even as a squishie D/D or the rare time i use S/? I still target the ele first as they`re more often then not a guaranteed kill, even if they`re mid zerg.

Are you sure you don’t target the Ranger first? I die more on my Ranger than I do on my Ele in WvW. Even when I was leveling my Ele in WvW and my Ranger was 80. People seem to target the Ranger above all else.

Definitely, in past RRR build could heal just as much if not more then an ele, combined with some pets are very strong damage.
Rangers also have better dps then ele as standard & combine that with them now having stealth…..

P.S. anet, get rid of this broken stealth kittene!

Then get ready for more repair bills, because even as a squishie D/D or the rare time i use S/? I still target the ele first as they`re more often then not a guaranteed kill, even if they`re mid zerg.

Would like to see the stat difference now rather then later.
Also, don`t time gate this, the loot in wvws is bad enough that we`ll more then likely never see what we need to make stuff or it is going to be so rare it isn`t worth the hope of making new weapons, but having to do one thing a day is just wrong.

Also dreading the obvious, guildie as of today has two legend daggers, a thief.
Just imagine their already stupid damage output & add the new stats on top…..

& I bet Moonkin was the third-top most created class in warcraft, but guess what.
They were a rarity in bgs/arena/rbgs & more so in open world & some never levelled after realising how bad things could be.

Them stating it is third most created means sod all.

Tried finding the poll where someone created it to find out classes created & played etc, but this forums search…..

P.S. Most lethal creature: Risen Thrall.
Why isn`t he in Org`!?

With all these stats, where are the real ones for WvWs?

Walks past water cooler: “An ele killed me earlier, took a minute”
reply: “Don`t worry, we`ll have more nerfs inc”

Day later same dev walks past cooler:
“Meh, a thief killed me, took 1-2 seconds”
Reply “lol l2pnoob”
grabs a donut

;)

This one was definitely dubious, as all others stated in bay.
Not just that, but he was also firing well past the middle towards the south doors.
If it was just firing through the gap, it`d be a short aoe, but it was going all over the place.

Solkard.5136:

Maybe they did read what Fish said and realized they couldn’t nerf heals. But then were still set on nerfing something so did all that other stuff? Thanks Fish. :P

Alas, our heals were still nerfed :$

Well Millers must be so proud, bringing 15+ to Bay against 6 of us & yet they still need to AC glitch from north door…

Use RTL to charge into a small wvws group (rather then casually walking up whilst being hit..) only for someone to kill your target the split second you get there, leaving you with a kittened 40sec cd.

Having a zerg chase you into a keep & having to stand at the back of the keep for eons waiting to leave combat so you can swap weapons, only to have to do the same when they are almost in & you want your daggers back.

MaXi.3642:

they dont do anything because of PAX… so i REALLY hope they will introduce some BIG balance patch after PAX… and many others hope as well…

Bad news. They`ve stated that there`s a patch after PAX, but not the big one, that comes some time later.

Direwind.8409:

if you take a direct hit (not aoe) you should have stealth removed.

tbh Ao£ should get them out of stealth too.

i agree though, stealth is stupid in this game, more so then any other I`ve played by a long shot.

EchenSketch.9142:

Has Anet ever responded to why the Elementalist has a lower starting health pool than a thief, when a thief has more movement, dps, and escape? If they say because Ele’s have good healing, I’d prefer to have a higher health pool and nerf the heals.

Prior to the nerfs to heals & mist & heal nerf, they said on SotG that ele heals were too strong, that they could heal from almost zero to full in 8-10 seconds.
I said in chat that we can heal well over 8-10 seconds, but a thief can kill us in 1-2 seconds.

Most in chat agreed, devs & ones reading chat for them ignored it & rushed onto the next subject.
Don`t ever expect a decent reply from a dev, most of us have learnt that…

Just hope the mat`s/crafting isn`t another time gated piece of crap.
Anyone with a leg end is safe, but the bonus to stats will be noticable against weapons equipped on players that aren`t leg ends, something that I`m sure they said wouldn`t happen.

ArmageddonAsh.6430:

Fishbait.6723:

If five seconds is too strong for an ele, surely four second weapon swap for a warrior is op then?
Either way, whatever your attunement swap is, most of the spells would still be on cd & the weapon proc would seem messy.

Since when can Warrior weapon swap every 4 seconds? I have never noticed it.

Levelled warrior once to get rid of daily crap today, put points randomly in bottom trait line aaaaaaaaaand…..

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Fast_Hands

I thought surely a tooltip mess, but tested it & it works.

Nettle.9025:

In pvp, Ele can be built to be a very effective burster on the level of a thief.

Erm, what?
Show me an ele doing 7-`13k hits like thief can with press of one button.
Sure, fresh air isn`t too bad, but it also is a one trick pony.
You blow those cds, you`re done.
Thief blows its cds, it can just stealth & come right back at you.

One thing about that CE cast/damage.
NPCs don`t dodge, they don`t walk out of the huuuuuuuge telegraphed spell or the red aoe markers. They also don`t think, hmm, I`d better stun that 3.5second cast & stick that ele with a full cd

Players do (well, the average-good ones ;p )

As for meteor shower. It can in theory do damage, but it can also drop every meteor blob & not hit a thing., due to it being random & most players & mobs can stand in it & not give a crap.
Hell, I`ve ressed players from dead to full whilst been rubbing in meteor shower & not been hit at all plenty of times.
Just fought some guardian, ranger & staff ele. I completely ignored the ele as they aren`t a threat in any form.

P.S.
