Guild Wars 2

It happens from time to time – ANets seems to have mostly fixed it though, as about 90%~ of the time if the leader leaves you’ll still be ok.

That said, I got booted from a group right at the end of an AC run yesterday for no real reason. That and this needs to be looked at more.

“Free travel to LA is nothing short of an Exploit in my eyes, otherwise they would have made it free to waypoint there to begin with.”

O.o

How about we charge people for falling down cliffs into the water when they’re high up since that’s an exploit too.

Seriously, people are aruging for cheaper/free waypoints and you want to add an extra level of annoyance to the game instead?

“And again, 99% of the time you are centering it on an enemy to begin with, so why add an extra level of unnecessary busywork?”

What about water skills, where I need to target my friends?

What about lightning’s stun field, where I am usually aiming to hit a group at a certain location?

What about when I want to drop firefield at my feet so people can use finisher’s on it to get AoE might but at a long range?

What about in WvW where I will often cast meteorshower in a central location to scare/kill people on a wall?

What about when I cast AoE fields at more then one foe? EX: Lavafont on a boss and meteor shower on many weak foes?

Honestly, switch to scepter if you want non targeted AoE, what you’re asking for is strange at best. Asking that targeted abilities (especially targeted leaps!) hit the designated spot more frequently is something I support however.

Ground targetting skills have a reason. They are usually long range, long lasting and combo fields. They pretty close to always hit 2 of the 3 (ex: Lavafont is long range and a combo field while meteor shower is long range and long lasting (5~ seconds)).

Leave it as is, just learn your staff isn’t a dodgey weapon. It’s a siege-ey weapon.

Why not make them tradable for badges? You can already get runes of balefire/sigils of ghost slaying (and possibly on the 15th dungeon armour!) as drops from dungeon chests – you can also (rarely) get cores/lodestones, so why not just add them to the token merchant’s lists?

I’m getting annoyed at this – if you die on a boss fight and respawn, the boss wipes his credit of you for getting loot or money. This is a real annoyance in AC what with the 15 silver the bossess drop on kill.

Please make it so respawning doesn’t kill your credit for bossess/enemies in dungeons. Heck, I’d go as far as to say that giving equal credit to everyone in dungeons would help a bit since you can’t really go around tagging stuff for other people to kill.

“If you cannot handle the 1 on 1 element, stop trying to play one on one. Stop over extending to allow the enemy to down you and finish you. Play in groups so your groups can easily see you are downed and rush to assist, and AoE knockback whether they can see the thief or not.”

You do realize 90% of the complaints here come from 8v8 sPvP and not thiefs stealth stomping in WvW, right?

Who published the strategy guide? If it was not ANet, you should complain to the publisher.

On a side note, strategy guides for MMOs are pretty close to always a fail as stuff nearly always gets changed between beta and launch, and pretty much always gets changed after launch, invalidating the guide.

“When most of the games QQ revolves one class, ever wondered why?”

We use basic deduction skills to answer this question.

It’s because everyone who doesn’t play that class is a stupid newb and needs to pro up and learn to pick that class.

Of course!

There’s a super easy fix to all this crap.

8v8v8.

You want dynamic, add a third side to screw things up! It made the games I played that did that (on a smaller scale then WvW) work really well.

Awesome.6120:

Warriors don’t need to be fixed, they are good enough until all the other classes get brought up to their level (or nerfed into the ground due to pvp imbalances).

If warriors are perfectly balance why do I basically only see thiefs, eles and guardians in sPvP?

Pande, you can right click on the gathering tool in your hero menu (H) and it’ll show you a list with the names of everyone tool you can equip. It makes sorting a lot faster.

"

I disagree with this thread.
The OP is being very biased.

Quickness is available to most professions.
Most professions have some form of damage reduction/prevention, such as mist form, stealth, aegis/protection, stability, etc.

If the Thief spends Stealth AND Quickness just to finish you off, then he absolutely deserves to finish you off."

As of right now, quickness I agree. If you spent it and stealth to get a stomp off you deserve it.

Granted I think it should be taken out in generally due to the lol’ it causes when someone’s downed. The reason people hate stealth is since thiefs have a lot of damange potential, survivability, ease of use, seeking skills, and generally easy and powerful abilities + enough stealth abilities it’s very rare they won’t have it off CD when they need to stomp.

Most classes with “quickness” don’t get multiple 3 seconds every 20 seconds. They usually get 4-5 seconds every minute or such.

“Gear Grind?? who say about gear grind?? read again my suggest and stop trolling. I talk about Better reward system. Upgrade option my actualy gear and armor for killing a boredom. Something that improve this game. U know what a difference between reward for hard task and grind?? check in “google”. Bye”

‘I don’t want a gear grind I just want to be able to grind for gear!!!!’

O.o

I would actually like to see a freer stat system. I’m getting annoyed at being forced to take power/precision/vitality instead of power/precision/thoughness in sPvP.

“No, if you cant manage your tools, carrying multiple sets, just use the highest you have access to, like i do, it not like orichalcium tools are THAT expensive anyway”

Most people propose making tools have a chance to break on lower tiered tools rather then a guaranteed use. I propose adding more counters and using less on lower tiered nodes.

. . .

You propose not adding a convenience to the player.

“it really is a strong feature of thief profession, but other professions can get same results with stability, and eles can do it with mistform, so i wouldn’t say its unbalanced.”

I’d have few problems with the thief’s stealth stomp if it wasn’t 1) a guarranteed kill that few other professions can get and 2) disabling a lot of people’s ability to use their special. I know the warrior and engineer’s only down skill disable require a target or auto MISS. So even if you’re in my face, I can’t guess fire at your like I normally could.

Also, even though I use quickness a lot for it, I’d support making it not active on stomp either.

“Hmmm… yeah. Thieves use stealth for many things, including stomping. If you want to nerf our stealth stomping, I’d love to hear your ideas for buffs to balance it out.”

Dropping the thief from “idiotically stupidly powerful” to “regularly stupidly powerful” doesn’t need to be justified. . .

afflaq.3947:

Are you sure that it actually deleted your witch kitten Try right clicking in the actual hero screen, as I don’t believe that town clothes show in your regular inventory:

If you take a look at my screenshot, you’ll see that the items show in the character panel but not in my actual inventory..

I did, it’s 100% gone but the rest of my outfit is still there.

A note to everyone until we hear an all clear from this – changing town clothes while your inventory is full my delete that piece of town clothes being changed >.<;;

I also did use the in game report, I’m waiting to see what they say.

I was very dissapointed with the GW2 costume brawl. It’s boring, the GW1 costume brawl was the most exciting PvP match they had.

That said, the MOBA test was a great kill over until a better PvP match happens.

I equipped a set of devil horns earlier today, and it ate my witch’s hood. (The one you get for the buying the witch outfit, not the hat from MKT)

This is fairly disheartening as I liked the way the full set looked. I had a full inventory at the time, and the hat just vanished never to be seen again.

Possible to get a new witch’s hood sent to me, and for someone to test this bug out? I have the MKT outfit too but don’t want to be hatless with that as well.

I use fast cast ground too. It’s good until you reach a slight incline and end up doing this. . .
click – out of range
click but slightly further back – out of range
back same amount – out of range
back same amount – fire next to you due to weird incline

I agree with this. Out of range = max range cast on second click, this way if you try to click at max range on the first click but want to move it won’t fire too short.

“….what? I don’t want my raccoon strapped to my back. Plus I like how the new flaming book looks.”

I do too, but I was saying he a mini permanently out as a back accessory skin. Backpack or always on mini, or backpack and clickable mini.

That or it’s own freaking slot which would be insanely easier.

Honestly. Minis should be a skinnable alternative to your backslot. That way it’s actually VISIBLE.

They stack up to 250, if I am not mistaken. They at least stack to a few since I have quite a few undead baby chickens in storage.

That said, when your level you gear generaly favors DPS extensively. My warrior was running around with 89-99% crit chance from level 20 to 40. I was a crit build, but I haven’t gotten better then 60% since. 90~% was awesome, but yes, your HP takes a huge hit.

WHOAH WAIT, they finally gave us the zoom from those camera mods that I saw that let us basically have the GW1 zoom as our normal zoom?

ANet does love us.

“You are hitting space multiple times while already attacking a target. You do not need to hit space multiple times as you are already attacking a target – spamming space does not make you attack faster. Please note that you do not need to hit space anymore as you are already attacking this target and get no benefit.”

I @#$%ing hate shing jea.

A proposed solution to fix events for everyone.

Add a new currency.

Event Tokens. They work like regular dungeon tokens for a special “event vendor” for you being the special kind of guy who goes out and helps do events. Give 6 of these the first time that day you do an event and give 1 out after that – and make that account bound not characther bound, so people can’t just alt farm Orr.

Just to let you guys know, the two swords only appear if multiple people are attacking – unless that was change recently. It’s 8 people in total IIRC, meaning a group of 4 can usually take a point without being zerged due to no warning.

“Yup, and he would have had twice the kills if he hadn’t done that.”

Because moral and propoganda don’t account for anything in a war – and instead of 50 nameless people, 50 glowing tags of “murderer of WvW” wouldn’t demoralize would be new comers more.

On a side note, I can’t find many notices of RB being shot down basically anywhere. Doubt he wasn’t, most aces I read about seem to get shot down 3 to 5 times on average.

He means if the “battle indicator” swords were removed, anyone who’s not in teamspeak/guild chat with the large WvW guilds would be screwed and not know where to go.

“It’s not expensive unless you’re prone to waypoint jumping,. I personally am, but then when I don’t, I gather all the resources I can and auction them. And it seems like every 10 drops I get culminates in vendor trash that recoup the expense.”

That still makes it so that it acts like a bitter help. I avoid waypoints when I can, which makes it annoying when playing with 3-4 people that want me in different locations as I’ll just use my closest alt. This is a combination and stupid and game ruining (not breaking, but it does make it less fun). There is no reason for waypoints to not be free.

“yes, also remove all armour restrictions and allow us to switch race and class whenever we want, take out leveling – if we leveled to 80 once we dont need to do it again.
take out waypoint costs, infact just remove every and any restriction in this game- make a button that we can just press once and we WIN!”

’Can I get a little milk with my dry cereal?"

“AND WHY DON’T I GET YOU A GOLD LEAF FOR IT TOO!”

They’ll add new weapons and new skills in time – waiting is probably the best, and I would prefer balancing the current weapons more rather then making a whole new slew of unbalanced weaponry and skills.

“But as it is now titles are barely noticeable and I feel like that makes them pointless. I always liked reading them in GW1 – not necessarily because I found them impressive, but more to see what people want to tell you they’ve done. It’s like a random little bonus fact about the person.”

Part of that fact is since titles are in dark while they had better contrast in GW1.

" Gods walking among mere mortals" Yes but I already get asked weekly on how I got that title. Remember, the GW1 crowd has thinned – a lot less people have and will have GWAMM. I think titles being more visible would be nice.

I liked how MKT’s stuff from the clocktower was soul bound when it should have been account bound.

Same with siege equipment (kittening seriously I have at least 15 slots dedicated to the random crap I get from the jump puzzle), harvesting tools and, like many mentions, the halloween drop. Those shouldn’t be soul bound.

“I’m sitting at 75 chests. I haven’t obtained a key in a daily quest in a long time. Maybe that’s what they should do… include the daily to always give you 1 key. That’s not too overpowered… is it?”

I’d never buy a key that way. Honestly, more consistent good drops or effects or STUFF would be more enjoyable. Random effects on your characther, temporary legendaries, kitten that would be fun, would make you feel less stupid for opening 1’000 and not getting a rare skin.

@Arcaneclarity : The bow is OP enough at 900, leave it alone.

This bow is a siege weapon, so the self root 4 second freeze at 900 range isn’t really horrible. Now, the freeze’s speed and ease of dodge are somewhat lack luster.

?

That’s weird – any damaged piece is 6 silver for me.

I’d rather they just let you fight while in them personally. That would make tonics awesome.

“I really don’t have issues with repairing my armor, to be quite honest. It’s my fault that my armor was damaged, so okay, I’ll pay a really small repair fee.”

The really small repair fee is a tad too high when you’re in all exotics – namely, 6 silver a shot.

The real way to improve the black lion chest is to make it not drop kitteny stuff. Other then that it’s something to spend money on.

Keep repair fee as it penalizes you for dying, get rid of waypoints fee as it penalizes you for playing.

“BONEY! . . . I knew ye well.”

I think if he was named appropriately the Golem would be called Dunce.

Wasn’t “scalable content” one thing they said would include dungeons being soloable, early on?

Again. . . The defender have the advantage since they are defending and can use walls for cover like that. How is this unbalanced?

Most games do include 20 hours instead of 24 hours because you might play a few hours later then normal one day and shouldn’t need to skip the next day due to that. I support this.

Economy breaking bots and sPvP hackers. That’s perfectly ok, they aren’t tampering with the holy FoV.

The pic doesn’t prove anything. Attacks like the beam will go to the target but miss with “out of range”.

Actually, to me it’s not the cost. To me it’s the fact I can’t look like prince rurik = (
