Guild Wars 2

“5. I honestly think with the modest size of your maps and how many people are crammed into them. The waypoints upgrades should be removed. "

“5) I agree and we will likely remove them at some point in the future. However, to do so requires additional work because of the complexities of the upgrade system. It’s not as simple to do as it should be. But we have to work with the tools we have.”

Not every server is a full server.
I`m on what seems to be a low to medium server where at times we`ve as few as 3 players or other times (reset night…) a queue.

These maps may be small, but it is still tedious to press “W” for several minutes (this isn`t DayZ…;p ), just to see a camp or three south get capped before anyone can even get near.
That combined with SR-tower getting flipped before even marked as in combat.

Think before acting with these.
Same happens re:SR, stick a timer/cd on this mess.

It`ll never get reverted.
They even carebear nerfed the vapour by adding a timer to activate in bgs/wvws (I had no idea this was still instant in normal zones until last night…) just to satisfy the clueless who never thought to immob` us.
Months ago they removed EA & took them months to finally return it, albeit only in part.

Get used to it, idiotnet are catering for the carebears not the balance nor esports it seems.

Whole underwater map you say?
Welcome to Ranger Wars 2 I say ;p

Trying to throw aoe things in the gauntlet, end up clicking top right stuff (courtesy of this games kitten camera) & ta da, bloody ui opens up.

Fix this crap, we don`t care that there are bosses on lower levels/dailies to be done etc.

For 2013, this games “minimalistic ui” is both a lie & an embarrassment.

Trying to throw aoe things in the gauntlet, end up clicking top left stuff (courtesy of this games kitten camera) & ta da, bloody ui opens up.

Fix this crap, we don`t care that there are bosses on lower levels/dailies to be done etc.

Dumb question.
How the kitten do you destroy those orbs that pull you in Liadri part?
Seen on Dulfy you have to melee them, but S/? has no melee lol
Tried using anything & sod all works.

emikochan.8504:

stealth doesn’t make you immune to damage, endure pain still takes damage from conditions.

Guardians are a bit crazy though.

Yes, but they can still heal during these phases.

Can believe that, but surely better to send to a main that can make use of them rather then a lowbie in which they`re purely a waste of a bag slot?

Why aren`t these account bound, instead of soulbound?

Did you really think lowbies levelling fast in here would manage the fights?
150ish on a lowbie that are of zero use…

Either change these to account bound or give us the option to vendor these.

P.S. Get a PTR!

The camera in these is sodding awful, anybody testing (assuming there was) this should of told you that.

Thanks, I think
But wow, that is a completely useless spell then.

Been using this & half the time I use it, all of my endurance drains instantly.
There`s nothing on tooltip (surprise surprise) or on wiki stating it drains it & a forum search is, well, laughable as usual…

Anyone else having this problem? Is it a bugged spell, tooltip or what?
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Elixir_U

has always been an awful idea, but last couple of days it is zooming in even further then before.
This is a waste of a camera movement, can only imagine it is a bug.
We have to use mouse wheel every time we go into downed, more so then in the past.

Also, only a wvws player wanting to group/add friend/whisper/send mail to someone is only given the option to report them.

I`m a leftie, but have (awkwardly) learnt to use a mouse right handed.
Used to have Razer HEX which was more then fine for my ele, but changed to a G600 which has more buttons then I could ever need.
If you don`t want to go that route, google for “taugrim keybinds”, that may help out a tad.

It`s been the same all along.
RTL got nerfed, so we couldn`t jump over gaps, yet warriors, engies, thieves & rangers still can & mesmers via portal.
Try to use RTL on normal area, hit slight hill, stone or leafa on the ground, you`re frozen until RTL ends, all other charge type skills lett you continue the route you wanted to.
LF got nerfed so rarely works on Z axis, yet mesmer blink, thief bow-5 still allows it.
Heal mist as already mentioned…
I`m sure there are lots of others that I`ve managed to block out.

Just goes to show the inequality in the whack a mole nerfs.

I recall one of their stand up comed…I mean streams, where they were discussing the nerfs ele would be getting to heals long time ago when they hit us.
The dev said something along the lines of elementalists heal is overpowered hence the nerf & because of how high ele heal can heal them for in 8-10 seconds.
I said in chat “Sure, we can heal well over time for 8-10 seconds, but we can die in 1-3”.
Fair amount of chat agreed
devs or folk monitoring chat didn`t reply in any form & the topic got moved along.

/sigh

BlackBeard.2873:

I have been immobilized while in mistform in WvW, and I was wondering why it happened (I was running in mist, then I wasn’t).

Also, stun-breakers also break fear, so there is 0% chance mistform should get fear.

I do agree with kodiak, it is best to take armor of earth now.

Mist as far as I`m aware has always been able to be immob`d, but not stunnable. No idea why theye think a cloud of **** would be stoppable ;p
I have had it recently where mist form I got chilled/slowed, never had that before.

/raises hand

“An Error Prevented Saving:
Message Body length must at least be 15.
"

but….but….the game is rated 12 ;p

I`ll throw it some kibble, or asurats next time I wander by
Guess it could be handy to trap bots if they`re here, but still bugged moc.

dropping in the new map, some of these don`t stack with the others of the same item/icons..

Yerp, I do recall using mist & heal at times.
Everybody whinging it was yet another of our op spell combos.
I especially remember it when I still see these days a guardian bubble & heal, ranger/mesmer/thief stealth & heal, warrior use invulnerables & heal.

Hmm, remind me, why are those allowed but ele & engie aren`t?

One of the mobs (image) is immune to everything & to make things worse, is giving three debuffs, some of which last for 1 minute 30.

you`ve added new maps & this latest of all gives huge amount of drops along with npcs that give various boosts to MF etc.

Would it really hurt to add some npc at the citadel/borderlands entrance wp that gives the same?

Considering how bloody awful the loot is in WvWs & players in here also have to pay for their own WPs, Repair npcs, vendors, guild & bank npcs it only seems fair.

After all, all the PvErs get more hp, vt, mf etc buffs from our slaving away in this outposts.

dani.1956:

boss is sucky , want youtube video of devs doin it

Ye gads why? I`ve seen them stream, they are terribad, you`re better off waiting for some youtuber to post footage & get a better view of how it is done.

Curious, they said they had every class run this & complete it, but somewhere else it is stated six of the testers managed to complete it. Guess they forgot there are eight classes ;p

Deleted hundreds :$

“Elementalist:

Tornado: Added a duration skill fact. This skill can now be used while moving.
Glyph of Renewal: Improved the readability of this skill so enemies can see it more clearly when players are casting it.
Magnetic Wave: This skill is now blockable.
Signet Mastery: This trait will now properly reduce the recharge of Signet of Restoration in PvP.
Arcane Power: The buff provided when this skill is activated will now properly display the remaining number of charges.
Arcane Retribution: Increased the duration to 30 seconds to be consistent with Arcane Power. The buff provided when this skill is activated will now properly display the remaining number of charges.
Arcane Shield: Added the buff to the skill fact. The buff provided when this skill is activated will now properly display the remaining number of charges.
Final Shielding: The buff provided when this trait is activated will now properly display the remaining number of charges.
"

“Signet Mastery: This trait will now properly reduce the recharge of Signet of Restoration in PvP.”

Is this just them badly wording things as usual, or does this not work correctly in any other areas?

Lordryux.9785:

thats like putting a 20s cooldown on attunement switching.

don`t give them ideas, you know they`re stupid enough to go ahead with this!!!

Had a chat in guild or /t chat one day, where someone listed all the ways to keep ele fast(ish) by blowing all of their cds. although still not as fast as other classes can.
My argument was simple, you blow those cds & someone hits you, you are kittened.

Spectral walk & horn make necro more then fast enough. Add to that you can use signet of locust (which I find I never need).
Got someone chasing you, flip camera, drop staff aoe marks all over the place along with spectral wall, turn & splatter them with dots aplenty & fears to stop them even tickling you hehe
Thanks to the huuuge hp pool that necro has, you can wear none pvt toys & throw out much more damage & not have to mash a hundred buttons to achieve the same result.

High health pool, several health bars courtesy of lich kin…I mean lich form if used or any of the other elites, except for the drill nosed pet. F1 another hp bar.
Constant fears.

btw, be quiet about the FGS use for movement, anet already said on a live stream they`ll be keeping an eye on this, which we all know means it`ll get nerfe…I mean fixed….

Kyon.9735:

How about a change like this:

When Out of Combat – 1200 distance travel range, 15s/20s Cooldown and no Cool Down Penalty when you don’t hit anything.

When In Combat – 1200 distance travel range, 20s Cooldown, 30s Penalty when you don’t hit anything.

TBH I’m still doing fine with the nerfed RtL in PvP/WvW. My main problem lies with PvE and WvW map roaming.

People were complaining how we can just simply run away (same as GS Warriors/Thieves/Mesmers -.- ) when we’re losing a fight. I just want it back on a low cool down when you’re out of combat for roaming mobility.

Nope.
Again, why should one class be penalised for using a mobility spell when no other class is?

If it`s good for the goose, it`s good for the gander.

Either no classes have a double in their cd for mobility spells or they all do.

Ele` weren`t even fastest pre-any of the several nerfs though.
Warrior could out run fairly easily & can so to stupid extents now.
Rangers with 1100range leap every 12 seconds, makes it faster then ele.
Mesmers traited blink plus scepter, thief with their completely ott escapes & the previous three all now having stealth…
Hell, even necro is faster now lol
But the problem wasn`t ele managing to escape/catch up, it was the kittens not immobilising the ele that were at fault, but anet decided to continue doing the carebear routine they`re getting famous for.

But tell me this, why shouldn`t the lowest hp/armour only class, the same class that is the only class that is stuck at melee only, why shouldn`t it have more mobility?
As it stands now, everyone/thing can hit, stun, immob` & hit you some more whilst you`re just trying to even get in melee range, by which point you`ve either lost a huge amount of hp, ot have dodged enough to escape that & then have no dodges for in melee combat range….

Whilst this is mostly aimed at my experience of wvws, the same stands true in the battlegrounds.

Welcome to kitten balance
As anet said on their live stream, when it was six plus of them against one thief, don`t even bother trying.

JJBigs.8456:

You go around blasting puddles outside when it rains and tell others to heal you by blasting the water fields

Be very very careful, if that puddle gets ankle deep, you`ll lose all of your spells ;p

ronpierce.2760:

Turn on Show all Players, turn off Show all Enemy nameplates, your job is 100x easier. Sure, it’s crowded, but 2 things:

A. It’s a bit of L2P if you leave that many nameplates on.

That`s not really acceptable though is it?
Pottering about in battlegrounds, wvws etc & tournies, you need to see who is near you friendly wise, so know who/what it is they can do without having to click them to find out.
The game should`ve been released with a “no click friendlies” in combat or click through etc.

I have played with audio really low, mainly due to this, but wasn`t aware that it happened even with audio off.
It is ridiculously loud though, having had similar when mate playing DayZ nearly kitten himself when gw2 made that noise & he heard it over my mic, which shows how bad it is as I wear headsets.

Ditto.
Whilst I wasn`t interested in the Magus, was surprised to see it isn`t a title.
but even more shocked, to see that conqueror isn`t either, especially considering how much effort that one`d take.

What do you expect, with the crappy targeting in this game lol

is still happening in gw2.
This has been reported since beta.
At this rate someones hearing may get damaged or their headset, of which btw, I will invoice you if it does.
I barely have in game audio on & this noise is still deafening….

It`s already been mentioned that there will be a gem store salvage kit.
Doubt it`ll be a perfect one though.

So, kitten we`ve both agreed upon, staff 1v1 is kittene.
When some ele is running with a zerg & is targetted, you`re lucky for anyone to notice as they`re all too busy farming wxp, running for their own lives etc.
This is why staff is kitten.
Necro on the other hand stands a very good chance of getting out of that alive.
Next?

ykyk.2740:

Fishbait.6723:

Gee, if only I knew the slightest about staff ele.
Or WvWs.
Oh wait, I levelled nearly purely in wvws as a staff ele.

Next fail attempt?

Because leveling on a character automatically makes you knowledgeable at it. No, don’t address your terrible arguments that direct showcase your lack of understanding, bring up barely relevant things instead.

@ OP, I personally don’t like the healing power route. You become more “supportive”, yes, but the majority of zerg healing is not provided by your own healing but by those who blast inside your fields. There’s regen ticks to consider as well of course but I know some prefer to go PTV/knights and offensive trinkets (completely forgoing healing power other than any celestial trinkets). Personally I think the cleric build hits like a wet noodle because you have basically no crit and no crit damage.

Put your money where your mouth is.
Show everybody this amazing staff that helps the player when in a tight situation, aka a thief or someone else toe to toe with them.
Then look at every necro & cringe at your lies.

Straegen.2938:

Eles have the distinct advantage of picking up two daggers and being a great solo/skirmisher build with high mobility. Necros while powerful are one dimensional in comparison.

But we don`t have high mobility any more. Guardians can out run us, warriors rangers & scummy thieves even more so.
As for necro, they`re actually great for roaming & it is what I use mine for.

Another good thing would be to seperate the options for damage dealt & damage done.
Reading half a ton of crap you did to find what someone did to you is terribad.
Make this a chat function option so folk can have two windows for these. P.S. Keybinds these.
As for the death results, that is bloody awful warcraft recount add on wannabe.

Having mained an ele since beta (& good old Guild Wars ) I like mine, sort of.
You do have to spam keys like hell all of the time, but just part of the mess that is gw2.
But….you`ll be stuck in either melee or ranged & due to the crap combat mechanics in this game, you can`t always bag/swap when you need to & I guarantee, if you try, something will tag you & you`ll either have no weapons or just one dagger equipped :$

Ele` is good for support, although guardian does just as well, but you`ll probably be somewhat tanky to survive as everyone will go for you before anyone else as you`re an easy kill, especially if you go glassier to smite the enemy nasties. Oh, & if you do die & have to run back you`re on your own & staff won`t save you more often then not.

Necro, you have melee & ranged at any time. Your hp is also a hell of a lot higher combined with three health bars too, so you don`t have to go tanky builds or gear, meaning you can also throw out more damage on top of your fears to help the zerglings.
Sure, you can`t heal your zerglings like you can with an ele`, but that`s not your problem really is it? ;p
All depends on who is going to pay for your repairs each time ;p

Bored? Absolutely.
Same thing for a year with only more pve kittene being added & pathetic balance in this game.

Who wouldn`t be?

It`s weird, I could sit in WSG, AB, EotS & even AV that loads hated, for 3-4+ years & still not get bored.
Even Wintergrasp.
Not the cata pvp map though /cringe.

You know you WvWs too much when you get all excited over looting four rares in one month & they turn out to be…..

That`d be the problem then.
I`ve got the concentrating, spider, halloween & candy corn ones, but none of these will store in guild bank &/or are sellable.

I guess you`re one of the lucky ones that enjoy the story, but personally I found it lame, especially compared to Guild Wars.

Ah well, here we are, another month of daily & monthly crap on the screen.
/sigh

Give us addons so we can turn this kitten off already!

Gee, if only I knew the slightest about staff ele.
Or WvWs.
Oh wait, I levelled nearly purely in wvws as a staff ele.

Next fail attempt?

If want to support other players at risk of your own life, because you will be easy kill, good luck to you.
But tbh, staff is crap, stability negates the cc, damage is pitiful if you don`t want to go gc & at best, some like meteor shower is random chance of hitting anything & a cast time so long, anyone & their gran could`ve killed you by the time you`ve even half cast it.
If you want a really good staff build, go necro
