Guild Wars 2

You talk about bad reward with or without fractal masteries? Because I feel is good with them.

What about spend a couple of hours and level those sweat fractal masteries and have fun there?

The design id far superior imho, and you can work towards your legendary backpack, too.

My 2 copperz

k thanks bai

/15kg salt

people is just salty that they cannot oneshot omg immapro unoobs anymore.
Because there is a new class, new elite specs to get use to etc etc.

Let the dust settle, let anet balance some stuff and all will be back to your old boring meta……

I’ll post I rate this expansion 11/10. Content, System, Achievements, Collection , Halloween.
I’m overwhelmend by all the content, fine art, amazing music and thrilling story.
Couldn’t ask for more really. Well yes maybe more of everything, but I can wait for the next xpac/ls. :P

<3 Anet. Thank you SO much.

The QQ for this expansion is dumb. Is like QQing for an action game that doesn’t provide you all the skill to go ahead in the story but “forces” you to play get exp and unlock them (first in my mind last tomb raider). But hey if is in GW2 in bad design.

God, pls, grant me the power to punch people in the face through my monitor.

well they group/map wide events :/
If you feel you map is empty, like you have done for 1y with silverwastes use the LFG and search for an organized one.

Also you know…join a guild…

Actually an hybrid build might be best, so sinister or viper (even if it would take a while to acquire :P) since mallyx elite boosts both worlds and shiro is our stunbreak/utility legend.

Whe we’ll get the torment trait it will be even better ;-)

Hey folks,

Lots of passionate feedback and discussion in here on either side, and a friendly reminder that constructive feedback helps us make better games (please do keep it constructive!) We don’t always get every detail perfect the first time, but I like to think one of our strengths is we’re always open to and listening to feedback from our community and making good decisions based on that feedback.

Ultimately, we’re thrilled with the parts of HoT everyone is enjoying. Your passion is awesome, and it’s part of why we all love creating this game. In particular, in game we’ve seen a really positive reaction to the game from folks who are busy playing, which has been really cool to see.

While we never like to rush and make snap decisions, in particular with a game that’s basically been out less than three days; I think there are some fair points in here for us to discuss. Much like other feedback about HoT, we’ll be discussing this as well!

Thanks again!

Thanks Colin for the shout out. I ultimately want to say that you made a 11/10 expansion in term of content and system. I DO like it will take sometime of exploring and PLAYING (you know, we are in a freaking videogame) in order to progress the story, masteries, elite specs.
I’ve got back the sensation of first days in a new MMO and I’m so grateful for this.
If you want to lower a bit something just tune the Hero Points for elite specs…other things, imho, are perfect as you out them out.

Keep up the amazing work guys!
Cheers

Just don’t spam the most expensive attacks.

Exactly. This is precisely why Revenant AA is as strong as it is. Rev is a bit of a different beast. Take a little time to get used to it and try not to play it look you would other professions.

yup, no fire off CD unless is really needed. Look at the situation ad react accordingly. I like that!

Herald
1 +25 Toughness
2 +5% Boon Duration
3 +50 Toughness
4 +10% Boon Duration
5 +100 Toughness
6 When using a heal skill, apply protection to nearby allies (360 range, 10 second cooldown)

Tho i haven’t seen any revenant ones…

gannondorf.7628:

Well Charrs have always been fun. It’s just than now, with Revenant Rytlock, people are gonna say! “OMG! This guy is cool! I’m going to make a charr!”. People in general tend to be uncreative and unoriginal.

I myselft hesitating. I actually have so much fun with Chrono and well, revenant have no change to Jalis or Mallyx like i was expecting. So, or i’m making a charr (coz i already have 5 charrs and this race is my favorite for far) or i’m going to make my first norn. You know, shamans and havrouns, related to mists, becoming a legend and that kind of things. It really depend. If i’m going to main a character he MUST be a charr. If it’s an alt, i can make a norn.

then go Charr

DoctorDing.5890:

Or just make the AOE hit that area. WOuld be fun watching the panic…

SWEET CRYSTALIZED TEARS

Yeah pretty much. Imho the mix energy/CD is the right combo.
It allows low CD on skill just to avoid the spammability (like Unrelenting Assault or Jade or Right of the Great Dwarf which would be OP) and allows power effect on the skills too.
The con is that yeah, you gotta learn how to manage it…it will come with time and experience ;-)

Rym.1469:

Personally, I have two Revenants now, female Charr and female Sylvari. I’m still not sure which one I prefer – while in terms of animations (dat Mace #3…), lore and general feel I prefer Charr, I’d like to experience the story of HoT with Sylvari and after 3 years of playing a Charr, it’s nice to have some options in the Wardrobe which don’t clip.

If that Legendary Armor looks good on Charr, I’m going back. If not, Charr will be for PvP prob.

i have to agree on sylvari story. I admit I’ve started out as a stelthy cabbage on GW2 release and enjoyed much my toon. Anyway heavy armor is the less clip-prone weight for the charrs…so it won’t be that bad I guess :P

Pezz.4758:

The biggest argument for the gating seems to be “its progression but once you unlock it its worht it.”

But after playing for a few hours, it seems most points are gated by mastery grinds. So once i grind my masteries to get my elite spec whats left?

Judging by what i see ill be done the hot maps and my masteries will have a serious dent in them. So i “progress” the entire new content to what? unlock my spec to farm whatever the new SW is and raid? Ok so im not raiding. So what, i grind for weeks finish the hot content to…..world boss train as a scrapper?

im not trying to be rude here but from what i see most of the content will be done by the time i even fully unlock the new spec, so what am i going to do once i have it?

if it is just playing base classes for all of hot and then world boss/silver wasting on new spec after its all consumed can someone please be honest so i can move on?

well so what the heck do you want to do? Becasue pve zones for you are grind, where well..are just new pve zone with new story to enjoy, you won’t raid…i guess you won’t wvw either? Don’t know what to tell you…

Warwick.6325:

go for charr, always Charr, need more charrs
Because humans: go IRL
Sylvari: Go vegan
Asura: too many mouses
Norn: Go IRL basquetball

Rytlock power!

The only right answer is CHARR

WE ARE CLEARLY THE MASTER RACE!

Onerios.4962:

Less sure about that, you are losing a 5/7/10% damage modifier from your runes if you do that. Now if its aoe quickness you may be on to something, but self only the damage modifier is going to be better in terms of dps.

sPvp or WvW, having the wells tick quicker may be more useful however, compressing the damage.

yeah is the whole point i guess! same damage, half time! harder to escape…

wait a sec….chrono wells now reached god-like level… :|

for tag events flamethrower will always be your best friend

use nades or mortar while reaching the right distance ^^

All is vain………

Levelling to 80 give the exact number of point to unlock everything base.
Left over is 0.

To unlock Herald you have to unlock all the core lines.
FIrst step costs 60 points.
Overall cost (including skins) is 400 Hero Points.
You can get around 215 Hero Points in core tyria, and around 400 points in Maguuma Jungle. In the latter region every Hero Challenge gives 10 Hero point.

;-)

Probably an issue with the soft targetting system.

Tryed to “tab” or right click the enemies before fire the skill?

@BFMV it was like…the first sentence of the post :-D

@Destabilizator dunno, still at work, i’ll check as soon as i can, it should be logical, but we can be sure :-D

WTH really!???
PRAISE THE SUN! \[T]/

Yeah is pretty neat!

They said they toned down some effect to avoid the usual caos with big scale battles

LINK

EXPERTISE = Condi duration → around 7% every 100 points

This looks really godlike for hybrid builds, especially on Revenant since we can pull out high amounts of precision and ferocity to help the power side and have condi damage and expertise to buff condiitons

This frees up the choice for other types of runes/sigils/food that might result in some neat builds! Time to theorycraft baby!

armorer and cooking! prepare for legendary armor and cooking is always good!
If you have a good guild Scribe might be an option (i’m going for it on my rev)

Nothing that i can catch, also we are missing the torment trait for corruption :/

Tho, we knew they would only work on bugs/fixes for the release and shortly after on some changes ;-)

… to all the new Revenants!
May the Mist force be with you! Let’s shake Tyria foundations!

See you in game!

Nope, I just run away and he didn’t follow

CobaltSixty.1542:

Gotta have everything immediately, am I right guys?

^This.

why is it people feel these day’s that playing a game involves nothing other than playing what they want to play. They don’t want to level, they don’t want to progress, they want everything from the word go. They want everything handed to them, then some of them will say the game is too easy, or boring and that there is nothing to do.

The truth has been spoken

I see what you did there, Mr Freeman!
A Rev guild might be fancy! Let’s do it!

“you can have my hammer!”

Like just said, when you have to support boon duration on your group, either yours or form the others. Pair it with other facets depending on situation and/or gorup composition (no ele? nature+fury, no warr? nature+might et etc)

<3 Boonage

Burtnik.5218:

td;dr for ppl that dindt bother to read – revenant is locked into Shiro/Glint like ele in arcana/water lines.

And i disagree with reaper, sd engi or hambow countering rev unless you run some subpar build. Espesially hambows as they just cry at my double stab on dodge.

SD engi and hambow was refered to D/D ele not revenant. and as pointed out, ofc, if they don’t disengage, which is a win in PVP when fightin on point

it’s the max we can have right meow

Drekor.5217:

Azure.8670:

didnt read

d/d has no counter
Reaper handles Rev quite well, so no.

D/D ele’s are countered by signet necros. They can easily corrupt boons, which gimps d/d damage without might stacks, they can send conditions back on the ele and they can throw chills and fears down to break the ele rotation which causes huge gaps in their offense and defense.

a well played SD engi or hambow warrior can wrech them too, since interrupting their chains, don’t get get much hit and burst them is what they suffer

HOLY SKRITT GUYS we are almost 24h away from HoT

REV YOUR FILTHY ENGINES!!!!

Rage Cube.4573:

So I really love this weapon atm… Can’t stop oogling it. Problem is I just got my shiny Juggernaught for Scrapper…

Now… Should I Scrap my plans and go double pistol on Engi or resort to Thief Pistol…

why not ALL OF THEM?
I made the predator months ago and i’ll do after halloween/maguuma my h.o.p.e. because both are so engi-ish.
I’m on hold for jugger and flameseeker because imho they do not fit nicely the engi theme, so i’ll wait for gen 2.0 before any move :P

DKShang.8792:

Just no

Dragonhunter got a bow, we got a dragon; an actual dragon that we channel. Ergo dragon icon is perfect for revanent.

DONT TOUCH MA DRAGON!

Killyox.3950:

Not a big deal. I’ll treat it like levelling in other mmos.

also

“Again, hero challenges are worth 10 points each in the jungle. So no you don’t need to go do 200-400 jungle challenges.”

That may be the case, but many of the jungle heropoint challenges will most likely require gliding and/or mushroom jump masteries. So it will still take you at least hours before you could even get near the amount of heropoints needed to unlock the Herald completely.

That’s still nothing.

I would be fine even if it took 20-30h to unlock it completely. Just treat is as leveling up to new level cap in other games such as WoW.

The only thing I would change I guess would be to make it account wide so if someone has 8 revs or any other class he doesn’t have to unlock it again but gets it as a lvl 80 reward.

This would be troublesome. What about the heropoint unspent on the other character? Hero points by definition are character bound

2 days kittenes! <3

Ilharn.6813:

Gaaroth.2567:

Yeah that was my main concern too, but let’s be honest: would you even use a spec that’s not at least 50% unlocked? I think I won’t.

Nobody will force you to do that. I’ll play Shiro+Jalis/Ventari until unlocking all Glint’s… Maybe with unlocking swiftness i change that

exactly ;-)
