Guild Wars 2

Looking at the numbers , almost 70% of gw2 population arent even gonna try it.

Please place your vote so that for those that are wondering can get a better idea.

SFShinigami.2015:

BG is definitely the overtime server. Nobody can outdo the dedication some of those guys have and I’ve seen them do some incredibly long hours which are actually rather unhealthy but they did it for the win and usually get it.

SoR was the most organized server up until leagues. Now I’m not sure.

JQ is the home of the pug heroes. While you will certainly see good sized guild groups, most of the time said guild groups are bolstered heavily by random militia. If two zergs are facing each other, JQ will have 30 or so in one guild and 30 militia. The enemy zerg will have 40-45 guild and remainder militia. I also can’t begin to even count the amount of times I’ve seen completely uncoordinated (no TS) groups of random people on JQ take out superior numbers. I distinctly recall one instance where 15 random JQs with maybe 5 in TS and no commander fought off an almost entirely guild group twice their size. It was amazing.

TC is the let me hug you then I’ll stab you then we can hug again then maybe I’ll stab you again server. It has some of the nicest people who will, at the first sign of kitten ery, drop what they are doing and play along. It also has just as many people, sometimes overlapping with the previously mentioned subset of population, that will try to beat the living crap out of you on sight and are more than capable of doing so.

Its been awhile since I’ve fought FA, before leagues, but prior to that we were constantly amazed at how much FA groups would run. We got to calling it the FA dash. It was like they had some sort of speed boost on us too.

Mag is the official bluster server. They talk a lot of crap for the sake of talking a lot of crap, they’re good at it, they have fun but its harmless. Their guilds can definitely hold their own but theres been instances where they send people to other servers to get a look at their builds to perhaps take something from it. They are also the most fervent anti-blob server, though you can catch them blobbing every so often. They’re also extremely pompous.

It’s also been awhile since I fought SoS, but at the time they would have been known as the Glass Armor server. I suspect it was partially due to a lack of guild suppor that the server had at that time but on every level of the game SoS players would just melt at the tiniest push. The server has changed a lot though so I suspect thats not valid anymore.

Very succinct description

Just make 5 PU mesmers and kaboom

I have never seen a successful solo 1v1 staff ele unless you count rabbits or lvl 5 players.

PU mesmer is the way to go

Come over to JQ. We really lack EU coverage.

JQ pulls ahead because we have an addiction to bags. Sometimes they contain naughty magazines for asurans.

LOL +1 to that

That’s all WvWvW is now.

Oh, and the smattering of guardians, but it’s getting tiresome. Congrats on creating a beast of an easymode class which due to it’s near immortality at times has just attracted the biggest playerbase simply because when they play anything else they’re just demolished by the warrior/guardian train.

Who would have though giving high armour/high health/high mobility/high damage/multiple damage invulnerabilities/cc immunity and best condition clears combined with the best health regen in the game would make a class over played…

Sounds like you Are you referring to Chuck Norris?

i wouldnt mind paying 1 million Karma+1000 badges + 100 gems + 10 gold for 1 single ascended Armour lol

What you stated is called a maturing group of player characters and is natural progression. With the 3 new masteries being released you will see even more rank based bonuses. All quality MMOs have player progression and Anet is doing them bit by bit.

Power is not the problem. The problem is how condition damage is calculated.

Also a re-work of the way damage is done requires a re-work of the entire system.

Try to get atleast rank 115 and get fortitude first. It is very beneficial in WvW

#Hibergate does this all the time.

Dont worry , next patch i heard all uplevels will glow bright sun-like orange :P

This guy has the answer

Updated

ALSO GET READY FOR SEASON 2 – The tournament !!!! only a couple of weeks away folks.

Just like any MMO. Servers get merged into “Clusters” until there are only 3 “Clusters” left and then KabOOM!! EA buys NCsoft for a a large sum only to devour it like it does with all other top notch games.

Grevender.9235:

Elementalist is not weak “per se”, I mean we can decently do most of the PvE stuff and some of the pvp; it is weak when compared to other classes, who can do twice as better with 1/10th the effort and 1/100th the skill/knowledge.

I do not understand why devs made thief so efficient at killing elementalists, yet no other class is so efficient at killing each other, but using any build other than the classic water/arcana bunker makes challenging even the most noob of thieves.

I confirm: on my thief, spotting an elementalist walking alone means free badges, no matter how good they are.

We should duel. I eat solo thieves for lunch. Thats if i can catch my lunch and they dont stealth away.

No, just no.

His not that bad.

tom.7468:

Can’t activate any skills solved by dieing happens randomly(not same as skill lag).

See Bug #45 for quick solution

The word ranger and over-powered have not been used in GW2 since 1856 B.C. when rangers could shoot laser beams

I thought gw2guru was closed down

59. Gem store bug due to lag. When you click purchase it says confirm ,yes, and nothing happens. You wait a few seconds, click again and then get 2 mails instantly.

Stand The Wall.6987:

NO. Mounts would not make sense to have in wvw. Use your legs and stop belly aching.
-more lag
-awkward combat transition
-pay to win (they would most definitely be exclusive to the gem store)
-WE HAVE WAYPOINTS

Pve? Sure.

AYe, atleast in PVE

Eles, have at this moment only 2 viable elites.

FGS has not changed much except for being able to cast it while running and having a bottom indicator on the total number of times the FGS can be used.

FGS should be used as a panic card unless you are a staff bearer. FGS vs DnD ele, the DnD ele has far more utility.

But with that said you can use the FGS best for the following scenarios

1) To destroy noobs
2) To destroy gates
3) For escape.
4) To catch a noob
5) In a 5v5 situation where u are fighting noobs , pull out that FGS and help melt noobs
6) To take camps
7) To destroy golems
8) To harass rabbits

45 – Keyboard bug —>Sometimes certain keys such as 2,4,5 stop working and the only fix is to drop from a cliff and faceplant to solve it.

Asura, because we are the master race

Chris.3290:

Transfers => gems => income => bonuses => Tesla S in the garage

ANet is not a non-profit

Really, a Tesla? You might as well say Tata motors

Is this the monthly “Lets argue about the ele” post. ?

Seriously.

ELE is hard to master. Goods eles can play DnD/Staff in WvW.

We got nerfed, really hard because we were kings for almost a year. Now bit by bit we are getting buffs. Thats how Anet does things. Big nerf before minor boost every month here and there.

I do not think CC is out of balance in this game. You can easily get-50% condi,etc.

Stealth is a little out of balance though.

There are some valid points for not having one in WvW.

But imagine flying over tyria with a dragon. Comeon its a dragon! Just imagine the additional customization you could make on the dragon with extra loot bags, color them etc.

Coarr.3286:

Fuzzion.2504:

Should we have our own mounts i.e. Horses, or even rideable dragon ? *Like in DAoC *

daoc had mounts?

Yup. It was released in the later years.

1v1 , the necro will win. WvW.

But many necros are useless so a good number are fun kills.

Tactu.4867:

^
this guy is a master elementalist showing his majesty and brilliance in fighting a golem .

For the sake of it …

Your imaginary “Immobilize Combo” never works on a decent player , heh i might just say it won’t work on any player :

Gale – 2 seconds knockdown
( let’s just imagine there are no stunbreakers in this game)

In this 2 seconds (actually what was left from those 2 seconds), you have to switch to fire (1/4 sec till skills show up ) then cast Dragon tooth , then you want the fire field and phoenix ? lol .the fire field has a horrible aftercast .
The target is up in their feet by the time the fire field lights up , and guess what ? what is next ? A dodge . Yes, every player dodges when they see the dragon tooth
And what was it next ? switch to earth …. then arcane wave ….. doh …. too late
and then you die without any cantrip and evasive arcana.

Next : Imaginary Combo Chill
Much cold , so frozen .

Yeah …so … so what? what are you doing with so much chill ? try to hit them with your dragon tooth , or comet ? well : a dodge will be what you enemy will do an laugh at your spells with all those 500000 secs of chills that you put on them .
Let’s not forget that you burned all your utilities now …
Now your are good as dead . (Remember ? no cantrips … no EA)

The blind “combo” works …

Do you even pvp ?

You need to ask non SnD players

Interesting arguments.

At the end of the day , there will always be cheesy builds. Almost every class has it except for rangers. Eles used to have their bunker builds but we do very little damage with that cheesy builds. Then u had necros,thieves,etc.

At the end of the day, balancing is very hard. Just that some cheesy builds are Over powered and im sure Anet is watching the mesmer as we speak.

Even mesmers are now worried that PU mesmers are giving the class a bad name.

Im sure they are on the chopping board for nerfs.

Im sorry i will next time post poll questions a little earlier.

Does anyone know if GW1 had mounts?

+1 Awesome site.

Just play a PU mesmer. No need to hack since the hacking is automatically done for you.

Answer —>

Here is a poll result

Should GW2 have mounts like horses & Dragons?
Should we have our own mounts i.e. Horses, or even rideable dragon ? Like in DAoC and WoW and many other MMOs

Yes. Both in WvWvW and PvE 12% (19 votes)
Yes. But only in PvE 20% (31 votes)
Maybe 6% (9 votes)
No 61% (94 votes)
Total votes: 153

________________________________

I voted yes but it seems ~40% want them. I still hope Anet implements mounts in wvw and pve.

Chuck Norris. Because Chuck Norris could solo 200 guilds at once.

Except for the implosion of SoR , BG still can still field 50 to 70 man blobs on atleast 3 maps at any given time.

A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new. – Albert Einstein

Sorry i meant stomped

Oh you meant the server.

JQ does have coverage gaps. But not large enough that atleast one map will not have a commander. Also JQ has very competent commanders leading in T1 on all timezones – SEA-OCEANIC-EU-NA many of whom love all sorts of combats, be it taking keeps or open field.

TC is a friendly robust server with some time gaps but i believe that will be changing next week or two.

BG is the largest server by far.

SoR has lost some guilds but are still within the Top 9 servers with coverage gaps.

The rest of the top 9 im not really sure.

You can also go to www.gw2wvw.net and post on the matchup forums for a more candid opinion .

In the new mastery dead players will be sent back to Waypoint after they have been downed.

Didnt you get the memo?

Your ele needs good gear, good food, high rank of 230 and a decent build to fight competitively in WvW. Remember , u play a DnD ele because you like a challenge. Easy mode, go play a warrior or PU mesmer

Eles,warriors,guards all enjoy FGS. Sometimes a mesmer might pick it up, but not often

Both builds on the assumption you have rank 230 for both buffs.
