Guild Wars 2

Oh, almost forgot.
Just try swapping weapons & tidying.
Done that, got hit by random flying aoe/spells etc & been stuck with one dagger equipped.
Just try doing anything with that

Zumy.6318:

Played Warrior with under 1h of playtime in soloQ tPvP yesterday.

I can see now. 1vs3 against 2 Eles and one Necro. The eles just died as collateral damage while I was killing the Necro. I dropped to 15k hp eventually.

& yet they are giving warriors more hp & heals in an upcoming patch lol

Matt H.6142:

I’m still against weapon swap. That is what attunement is basically. I think it’s the offhand weapons that needs fixing. Necro dagger and focus have great utility and Mesmer Phantasmal Duelist (and to a lesser extent, warden) are great to drop on foes while staying out of arms reach. I don’t see the synergy with our scepter/dagger combo, and as much as I like focus it’s got no damage.

Attunement swap isn`t the same as weapon swap though.
I can swap from one to another & I`m still a pure melee only classs.
Weapon swap allows players to hit someone from range & swap to melee weapons when they`re being trained down in melee range.

EDIT: Just gained a leved on my bank alt warrior.
I can now weapon swap every four seconds.

What the hell is that doing in the game!?

You are still able to heal in mist form if you have evasive arcana.

This is very true. It was the mistform—>ether renewal that was too much. It healed back up to like 70% and removed all condis. A reset like that is just too much.

Tell that to thieves.

& paladi… I mean guardian bubble &/or invuln` heal, or warriors regen build, or rangers rrr build, mesers/ranger pop stealth heal or…..

Others can do that, just ele aren`t allowed :$

tbh it is quite clear ele is still in beta. I played for months before seeing someone fall in MK instance & live, I fell & died. They said I should trait for fall damage.
I knew traits & knew no such thing existed, they were shocked, but not as much as me when I found out every class had something needed at times, except for us poor third class ele`s.
That combined with I`ve seen the devs play an ele, they were terribad & he even said he dies lots & that he could just roll alts & faceroll mobs.

Don`t expect a fix any time soon, or possibly at all…

Hoping, but doubt it will bring small scale pvp back to WvWs.
Considering I`ve seen servers of late having 60+ players just rushing to flip camps, I`ve no doubt they`ll also now sit mid & have a few at each node & will just zerg to their aid each time required.
Even worse, imagine that bloodlust buff combined with all the SR kittene helping to flip towers…

Game over man, game over!

To the one that said rtl revert was debatable, it definitely does need doing.
D/D ele is the only profession stuck as melee only, every other class can do melee/range with press of a button.
You get immob`d, stunned, knocked back etc soon as you use rtl to get to the enemy, you are kittened. Yeah yeah, some will say don`t use rtl to get to them, but if you`re being hit from 900-1500 range & walk over, you are dead before you get to hit them once…

Same goes for the one saying 900 range rtl is fine.
Nope.
You use rtl to get to someone & it is 900 range, you still have to run 300-600 range to get to them plus whatever space they`ve backpeddled/strafed/dodged away from your huge rtl telegraph.
Same goes for escaping, 900 range makes it pointless, yet rangers get GS escape 1100 range on 12sec cd, warriors insane escape, scum…I mean thieves even more so.

All of that & I`ve not even mentioned aegis, pebbles, grass kittening up your rtl & leaving you at 40sec cd despite anet shrugging & saying it shouldn`t, possibly…..

Stealth is now on rangers, thief & mesmers, again making the huge rtl telegraph a waste of another 40 sec cd.

Makes me wish my ele was norn, elite with 1600 range. Much more use then all the kittenty ele elites ;p

Nerfing the tanky ele would of been a good idea, except the over nerfed it & every other build (of which there were sod all at the time & still barely is).

The main problem was that the noobs didn`t want to immob`/stun etc us, they just wanted pewpew spells on their bars, then cried that ele could escape.
I had many a fight where not one player would stun me.

Oh & guess what.
Guardian tanks, regen warriors, tanky engie & even some ranger builds could manage fine against ele back then, but since the kittened whack-a-mole nerfs, ele has to struggle like hell to do 1/4 as good.

So why is it okay for some classes to be able to tank & not others?

An epic fail of a bag slot.
Looted one, used it few days later, got knocked down & that was it.
Hell, could`ve jumped off of a cliff for more excitement.

Looted one of these the other day, out of boredom this evening, I decided to use it.

It did some spinning shinies, threw me to the ground aaaaaaand…..

Nothing. I stood up, it didn`t portal me anywhere.

Engie downed is awful, but it can work.
Fight against a thief in EB other night, it was at 1/4hp & i was downed, got it into downed, but only just lost the fight.

Whereas with ele, my main, I know I`d of just been stomped or wasted my time using vapour form to drag out the death.
Yes, it can be useful if near a keep, but you can stop them entering.
Aside from that, when not near keeps, ele downed state is a very bad joke, give me a suicide button any day over that…

Wow, that image (two posts above) just goes to show how abysmal this ui has become.
Here we are, one year after release of a game stated to have minimal ui, & we are plagued with what now feels like one of the worst ui of all mmos I`ve played.
Six months after daily/monthly crap added & not a word/hint or anything of any light at the end of the tunnel.

I found a slight fix, if you find some achievement you know you`ll never get, aka one of the insanely lengthy WvWs ones, click track that & it`ll go top right.

Yes, it means we`re stuck with that crap for ever, but it hides the dailies/monthlies that we`ll see in seven days in September.

Alas, it doesn`t hide all the erst of the crap :$

Invigorating Speed may help those that trait it to dodge, but I don`t trait it.
Even if did, we could still do with some decent speed.

Change speedy kits from 5 seconds speed buff to speed buff with a kit equipped.
Other classes can do this already, give to engie also.
This`ll help reduce the RSI your game seems insistent on giving everyone too.

lol what!?
You can`t remove name plates, as this game is a mess, where you can`t even click someone that is somewhat out of range, yet you can see them.
Are you meant to use psychic abilities to guess if they`re friendlies, enemies or mobs?

Prioritise players over yellow mobs/walls/siege etc also.

Quite simple, very bad game mechanic.
You could have two players stood side by side, one hits the other, then they stow weapons & stand still…

for hours, days, years…..

This game leaves you in combat until you are out of range, in which it then takes a second or two to reset.

Sort of understand they don`t want some classes out ranging then full hp & rushing back in, but the other player would also gain full hp too.

Same problem if happens & you fall onto a cliff ledge, enemy can afk at the top & you`ll be in combat until you fall to your death.

It has been brought up loads & has been ignored by devs every time.

Better question, why can`t I return the booster still in mail or delete without having to loot & then delete it?

Used to be a thread eons ago, couldn`t find it (this forums search function…. :$ )

Anyhoe, what is your highest damage to any player/npc or anything?

I was fighting a thief at vale &….

Two chickens in one hit ;p

Difference with CE cast time & the so called great damage akittens hit, is that anyone can interrupt that &/or every other class can out do that damage in much less time.

Openish world – 117 bag slots, filled in 10ish minutes, 5+ gold in same time by pressing 1 & at times, 2-5/f1-4.

WvWs – months of grey spikes, lucky to make 1 gold, having to buy your own repair vendors/merchants/waypoint etc.

Hmm, can`t imagine why WvWs is turning into a ghost town….

Tribio.8531:

Buzzcrave.6197:

Only a WvW player know that Living Gold is killing WvW.

A true WvW player has no idea what that Living Gold is you speak of..

& will Google Living Gold, only to find out top result is a distribution firm.
Hmm, new dolyaks inc?

CreativeAnarchy.6324:

You were downed and you really believe that you were going to win?

Let’s just removed downed system. You drop to 0 hp, you die. Problem solved.

You are aware aren`t you, that if they`ve been fighting, the thief scum won`t be at 100%hp?
They could`ve got the thief low enough that they could, whilst in the crappy downed states, damage them enough if they`re visible to put them into downed state also.

As for getting rid of downed state, I`m all for that, or at least give us a suicide button so that we don`t have to waste time just laying there.

Devesion.5704:

Sorry for killing the Dev that was at briar UW BL :P

We had a personal manhunt against him and wanted to kill him xD

kitten it!!
Why did no one tell me a dev was in Uw borders, or even in EU at all?
Would of enjoyed hunting it down :$

Met plenty of fine enemy folk in wvws that I`ve had chats/duels etc with, so nope.

Better idea, when invite pops up, add accept/deny/block or automatic block after a few invites in a short time.

Click one of the two items on the left, then accept or whatever will appear.

FrownyClown.8402:

necro has no stabilty nor escape mechanisms

Shed load of fears, aoe marks from staff/scepter & dagger they can place all over that can slow, bleed, fear the enemy, spectral walk hat breaks stun & even makes for hilarious “I`m clicking again, wtf you lot going enemies?” button.
Spectral walk, which never ceases to amaze me how many times folk`ll just keep faceplanting it.
Hell of a lot better outright damage & dots then ele, but mainly because most ele have to go tankyish just to survive average ramblings.
Several health bars, elites that make ele look like a wet tissue.
All of that & I`ve not even included horn or signet for speed.

Necro are more then capable at escaping, assuming they even want to & not just kill ;p

Bacon Please.8407:

You guys will seriously complain about anything. If ANET was giving every single person a free mini pet/100gold/new set of armor/charecter slot/$1000.00 USD, you guys would find SOMETHING to complain about.

Can we haz free bag slot upgrade to hold all those plox? ;p

Wow, just wow.

I thought it was bad when I got to that wp (to the point i just alt tabbed & eventually just alt f4`d the game, but…..

Check how bad it can get, in this link, OPs image…

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/its-okay-UI-just-take-up-all-my-screen/first#post2673717

EDIT: Just logged on, turns out I`m now stick with the green star yet again, despite having cleared story originally just to get rid of that crap :$

EDIT2: kitten ed, was on alt & story showed. That kitten still needs removing though…

I agree, this games “minimal ui” has become a huge joke
I`m like you, have a CRT (bloody good one I use for some jobs/gfx etc), but even at 1600*1200 that kittene takes up far too much unnecessary space.
Spooky, thought I was only one had text top left
Had it lower in past, tried to place aoe marker, ended up whispering someone lol.
Same goes for top right kitten, try to click AC, aoe etc, it pops the stupid crayola ui up most of the time.

Check the sig below, join in with the rest of us haters & one day, this crap may get fixed.

Take a condition cleanser, jobs a good `un.
To those that just want more pewpew spells on their bars, don`t hit back, fixed.

Of course you will get some idiots that are determined to fight. Dropped supply crate on some thief, it just kept fighting despite covered with confusion.
Face down, as was I from laughing so hard.

LilMcGinley.3890:

Already said they are working on readjusting the achievements for WvW to be more inline with PvE. Search feature is your friend.

Except the search feature hasn’t worked in weeks.

The forum search function has never worked

Cyan, whyyyyyyyyyyy!?

I`m guessing this is the change they made in battlegro…I mean spvp, to make things clearer.

Personally, this is silly in wvws, more so when loads of trebs all over the mini map.

Really!?
You couldn`t make this kitten any bigger??

Ditto, pet is missing on mine also.
I know they like temporary content, but this is pushing things too far ;p

& your reward for one years wvwing is…..

Hours of closed wvws/bgs whilst the points tick & the pvers loot their loots
Oh, & ridiculously bright Cyan blobs on your maps :$

To the thief today stood between Lake & lowlands on UW, thought you were afk at first, then saw you twitch, so dropped supply crate on your head as ran past for giggles.

Erm, you probably shouldn`t of tried to fight out of it when covered with confusion.
By time I turned around, you were face down & I nearly was from laughing

This was great in Terraria, when open chests we could click quick stack, it`d automatically stick stuff from bag into chests & combine them with the other items in there if some already existed & wouldn`t put things in if wasn`t already a stack.

This for the bank/guild banks would perhaps work around this games problem of not being able to stack things in these storage places too.

Couldn`t agree more with him.
Whilst I watch Mist League, Blu & the odd one or two others & they do great with what they can, the game isn`t remotely close to being esport material.
Hell, even basics of spectating someone fighting, you can`t even see who they are targetting as no name plate/icon or wtk is visible.& that is just for starters.

Absolutely spot on, re:setting esport balance for top 1% & not putting fun into the game in general is really bad.
Played 4+ years of (dun dun dun, I said another mmos name ;p) warcraft, despite arena, rbgs etc not having a spectator mode other then watching streams, it was much easier to understand for even the rookies.

Oddly, the only decent map this game even had pvp wise, was the mad kings one where you attacked three towers & fought stealthed in the fields

White Raven.4368:

“We are aware of the problem and are looking into it.”

I love when it hits, it feels like you have the whole map on your shoulders.

Such a shame they didn`t put that on red like the normal forum notices, instead of sticking it on twitter/fb/tumblr etc,.

Just traipsing through forums, when I came across this by J.Sharp:

“@ Class diversity: I’ve also seen games (referring to your pics) with a ton of Rangers, or a ton of Thieves, or too many Warriors, or a ton of bunker Guardians. In your pic of the top players, you see 6 of the 8 classes. The community also seems to feel that Warriors are in a good place right now in PvP. That’s 7 classes. You could make a case that Mesmers have a hard time in a hard condition meta, and I think a lot of people would agree with you. They have counters to conditions, but a lot of players don’t like to run those in standard Mesmer setups.”

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Anet-Your-Plan-for-sPvp-Update-2OP-pics

I`ve not been anywhere near battlegrounds for ages because of the mess this game & ele balance is in general, but here he all but says 7/8 classes are okay (even though he counted warrior twice failol), yet doesn`t dignify any comments about the one he left out, the ele`.

Know I shouldn`t be surprised, but meh!

I recall folk complaining that tanky ele were hard to kill (imagine that, a tank, tough to kill…..) but it seems they`re al but non-existant these days.

Fingers crossed this means they know they screwed up & will revert/fix some things.

So the hackers still exist….
Someone destroyed ACs in Briars, despite well out of range.
Just had a gandara necro do finishing move on me at garrison watergate. It was stood right near the water, I was half way up the steps. That is a new one on me.
No shame some folk….

My first visit to WvWs for over a week (except for easy bank access ;p )
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand….

Defending Briar whilst uw had it, half a dozen enemy glitch in. Not an accident, as they ran straight to lords room /sigh
Thinking, bah, a one off…
Nope. Defending Bay when a thief did the same at north west gate. Glitched, downed a couple & finally died. Got a screenie, but pointless emailing it in as there`s no names shown, except guilds..
Mesmer inside bay, getting res from folk outside.

Nice to see nothing has changed….

CreativeAnarchy.6324:

The chicken came first.

Didn’t read the post. Just looked at the title.

I’m bored at work.

P.S. Which came first, the rtl nerf or the needless mass slaughter of critters?

I`d be shocked if they ever admitted their mistakes.
But as we`ve seen, they nerf ele tank build & at the same time screw over every other variant & by variant, I mean weapons, because there wasn`t much of an option in the past.
Now that they`re added fresh air you get a mix of that &/or tank, but now tank isn`t anything like a tank these days.
Yet warriors, guardians, rangers & even the odd mesmer can still tank, yet they have much more options then ele has traits wise, yet those tanks never get touched.

Edit: Almost forgot engie, they`re good tank, just hit 80 on mine & wow, easy life & so many trait options, I feel spoilt.

I kitten ed. (edit: apparently “kitten ” requires filtering??)
Figured why couldn`t see the 80 Rabid gear (I`m only 75 so far), had to log an 80 to check the vendors out. D`Oh!
Ran to Malchors to grab a rabid ring, book of rabid deeds & rabid amulet. Luckily got millions of karma to waste.
Also thousands of badges of jumpi…I mean honour, so can grab the gear once hit 80
62 laurels so can probably buy something with those too.

I do try Tool kit at times, but most folk in WvWs seem to be running condi, so more often then not use elixir c.

Thanks
Went to Arah karma vendor before coming here, unfortunately, despite place not being contested, no npc was in sight. Guess day off.

I`ll nosey WvWs again, didn`t see Rabid type stats, probably missed them.
Alas, my engie has zero waypoints further south then Queensdale, yet..

After copious amounts of searching, it seems Rabid gear is only available via HotW (wasted levelling leather for nothing…).
I don`t pve & never intend to, so kind of screwed.

It`ll be primarily for WvWs. Pistol/Shield, Elixir S, Grenades, Elixir C, Elite kit.
Is this right & if so, what would you recommend for condi engie?

Not done it myself, but seen plenty of folk run into keep portal doors in WvWs after a reset or capture, not realising it was the wrong colour.
Saw one run into the door five times, guess they thought it was guardian blocked or something, best faceplant ever seen

Bored of WvWs for some time now, sat in Lags Arch reading chat when not alt tabbed, when all of a sudden…..

If in doubt re:Warriors, search the youtubes for Jathres.
There`s another warrior that posts, forgotten his name, but has Mike somewhere in it.

Ooh, there are mods for Guild Wars? None of guildies ever mentioned them.
Never knew that, although tbh it is so readily alterable, I`d never thought of needing mods. Except for text tad small at times I guess.

As for this game, there is soooo much that is needed to fix the ui, especially when….
Hell, i even prefer EVE online ui over this games lol
