Guild Wars 2

What’s really fun is getting killed by one, (14,240 damage) then by the time you res it’s respawned and kills you again. And again…. And again…. Yeah so much fun!

I don’t miss the trinity at all.

Same here. It’s tiresome being unable to do anything for lack of a Healer/Tank. Plus I don’t like being reliant on another player to keep me alive in a mega fight.

Heh! I’d love to have my Skritt Forager Mini scrounge “shinies” for me!

Bloodstone Dust, Dark Matter, and Dragonite Ore should be sellable at the TP or vendors. Believe it or not, some of us don’t craft so that stuff is useless and just takes up bank space. So let those of us who don’t like to craft sell it and get something out of it.

Dustfinger.9510:

Slows usually have a reason. Like frost magic. Which is true to real life. e.g: You may run faster when the cops are chasing you but you slow down when tazed.

The only possible “reason” would be to make you have to fight. When I’m trying to get somewhere I aint interested in fighting 77 mobs, I want to reach my destination. Furhermore, quite ofton I’m still stuck in combat slowdown (and zero health regen) for as long as a minute after I’ve killed the mob that hit me. So when it’s bugged, it’s much more of a PITA.

This is a lame game mechanic that not only needs to be scrapped but shouldn’t have been introduced in the first place. Just because other MMOs do it is no reason to use it. When one is in danger, one dos’nt slow down to a plod, one moves as fast as one can.

I cant use the search feature to find out why the search feature aint working. Does that make sense?

Seriously, the Forum Search feature does not work at all.

Don’t waste your gems on this. I just bought 3 of those and all three were the same dye, NATURAL! I understand that it’s RNG but c’mon now, there’s dozens of dyes so I should’ve gotten 3 three different dyes!

I’d rather that Anet made the Pavilion permanent than these “invasions.”

Thanks Healix!

How does one get this achievement? I’ve “represented” Lion’s Arch (Champion of the Council) twice with kills at tier one and didn’t get it. Am I supposed to win against a higher tier?

I use Longbow, Sword/Warhorn. Works very well.

Particle effect scaling, which has been available in every other MMO I’ve played, would do a lot to solve this.

Where do I find the vendor that has these? I’ve looked in the Royal Terrace, where I assumed that they were, and so far no luck.

My Sclerite Karka Shell has been transmuted and the mystic forge wont accept it for upgrading to ascended. Is there anyway that I can change this?

Thanks folks. I finally started seeing them when I was in Gendarron Fields.

So where are these parachutes that one must find X-amount of for a achievement? I’ve roamed all over some of the zones and aint seen squat.

How does one find out gameplay hours?

/age

I’m at 2.6k

While that may seem excessive I’m retired and on disability, not much more than in house activities I can do anymore. See you all in game. Cheers.

Thanks Ferguson!

1271 hours in 8 months.

How does one find out gameplay hours?

fuji.6283:

Shelf the warrior and hope Arenet don’t further ruin it.

Actually, I’m gonna shelf my War and not delete him just to see how much more Anet ruins the class. It might be educational!

Ghettoblade.7962:

Had such high hopes for the ranger class,was my first 80..right now there as useless as boobs on a bull..Lets all roll a warrior since im sure thats what the devs want us all to play.

No, don’t do that. The Warrior took a beating in this last patch too. Check out the Warrior forums.

Thanks Mercury!

Visear.7154:

The starting area in pvp has a locker that holds all the armor and weapon skins in the game if you want to find a skin that’s unique

Where is this? The only lockers I’ve seen have been the ones where you stash extra PvP gear.

robert.3475:

lol i have the bradygame book for gw2 its approved by arenanet ncsoft and in that book it says we are diffrent we have no grind hhhmmm 100,000 candy to get 100 jawbreakers to get the new wings lol that is more then grind that will make your fingers bleed lol

If having to farm 100k candies aint a grind then what is?

Xehanort.4589:

I bought 25 hoping to find at least 2-3 tickets, hearing from those who reviewed it before it was released, but i found NONE. This is the same as the southsun supply crates, if you hated them then hate these ones too.

Here’s why I don’t buy coffers, crates, chests, Black Lion keys, etc. Or gems anymore for that matter.

Sil.4560:

So your complaint is that it isn’t quite a god class yet.

No, just pointing out what I see as weakness’s in the class. All classes have them.

“Will you buy the logging axe?”

No. Because it will cost more than 350 gems, which is all I have right now, and I’m not buying anymore gems.

My favorite combo is Axe/Warhorn and Rifle. Sometimes I substitute Axe/Mace in place of the Rifle, but Axe/Warhorn is a must to me.

In case y’all didn’t notice, I like the Axe.

ThetaJ, these folks are right. If you want to play a char with a protection build, roll a Guardian. I have a 80 Guard and 80 Warrior and I’m here to tell you that there’s no way a Warrior can ever match a Guardian for protection and group support. Don’t get me wrong, I love my Warrior but the class’s best function is DPS, not protection/support.

And my only complaint about the Guardian is weak ranged abilities and poor mobility.

Buy Gems, trade them in for gold.

I have no doubt that that’s exactly what Anet wants us to do.

Hell, anything would be better than what Funcom did on the 1 year aniversity of Age of Conan where all of the players got a firework that had a 8 hour cooldown. Yes! This wonderful and well thought out gift to loyal players was a FIREWORK that could only be used once every EIGHT HOURS!

I don’t think anyone could beat that for lameness but I could be wrong.

In PvE and WvW I use Axe/Warhorn and Rifle almost exclusively. In WvW if you’re melee only, you’ll get kited to death by most classes and in PvE most Champ bosses will kill you real quick if you melee them. Hell, even my Bunker Guardian gets wasted most ricky-tik when meleeing bosses so, to me, having a ranged weap is practicly a must.

’Sides, with a Rifle you can do some very respectable single target damage and with Crack Shot traited you can do a lot of damage to multiple targets in a zerg.

And Dolan’s right, Whirling Axe aint as good as it could be, SHOULD be. Try out the Warhorn in the offhand. With Quick Breathing traited you get the ability to convert conditions into boons plus the abilities that it has are good to have too.

Not a single chest and therefore no ticket, but I did get a Reef Rider mini from a Young Karka.

Thank you Dag, I just discovered that.

When I get all the mats together (250 Obsidian Shards, Gift of Battle, Bloodstone shard, Gift of Exploration) and toss ’em into the Mystic Forge, do I get a legendary weap?

DPS don’t mean squat! It’s how well you play your char and work with the group that counts.

’Nuff said.

I have a 80 Warrior and I mostly run with the Axe/Warhorn and Rifle though sometimes for variety I replace the Rifle with Axe/Shield or Axe/Mace. The GS is great but I find the mentioned to work extremely well too.

I agree. This would make equipting a shield more useful.

Thank you Balekai!

Nike.2631:

There’s a light, medium, and heavy set of armor in the PvP lockers (just before the Ascalonian catacombs set in each case) that has no PvE equivalent that I can find. How about making those accessible?

The town clothes may be easier, but you’ve reached saturation – we don’t need “easier”, we need some “useful” and some “good”.

If the folks at Anet who design town clothes put as much time and effort into weapon and armor skins you might get more gem sales. Hell, I might even start buying gems again.

So where are these Settler armor merchants? The “Southsun Economists” have only junk white weapons.

Agreed.
15 chars.

Not only do the particle effects cause you to not even be able to physically see the target but they also cover up things like AoE circles as well. In the Settler Instigator fights when I’m meleeing the boss I don’t know that the AoE circles near him are there until I realize that I’m burning because they’re covered by the particle effects.

I’d love to see a option to disable or scale particle effects but with Anet’s record for the last few months I don’t hold out any hope for it. They seem to have more important issues, like how to get us to buy more gems.

I see endless posts on these forums complaining about lag and this would go a long way towards cutting down on lag but no one seems to care about this?

Caffynated.5713:

ACs still need more buffs. They’re not powerful enough to one shot everyone yet.

They don’t need to one-shot you with one cart, the 4-5 that overlap each other’s AoE circles do that quite well. I was in a group of 30+ that got massacred in a few seconds like that earlier tonight. But they’re just “a bit” overpowered. That’s like the captain of the Titanic telling the passengers that “we’re taking on a ‘bit’ of water.”

Anet, give us this feature! I’m tired of dying to massive lag in large group events because the spell, weapon, whatever, effects are so massive that it’s lagging up the game. Eye candy is nice but not when it interferes with gameplay. I, for one, couldn’t care less about flashy effects if it interferes with gameplay.

Every other MMO I’ve played has it for the above reasons so why cant YOU do it?

There IS a test server. It’s whatever server you play on and the changes are tested there after being patched.

It was outside the instance that was hard….KarkaCity out there. Do not plan on just standing around waiting cause the karkas will eat yer brains….

No kidding! The Karkas outside the instance were more of a hazard than Canach and his mines were.

Thanks for the info folks. I was reluctant to try this out with my Ranger but now I’ll give it a go, assuming that the Karkas don’t eat my brains before I get in there.

…… *By the way, about 1vs1 fights. Only a brain dead warrior will go directly 1vs1 anyone. *……You have to use your brain, u have to you your cc, and when the oppurtunity shines u finish ur opponent off. ..

How sad is that. Warriors have to be cautious to avoid a 1v1 fight because they are famous in all games for being frail and squishy. Brutal

I’ve noticed that too. It seems like every MMO I’ve played since the pre-2003 Ultima Online has had Warriors as pretty much fodder for other classes. That’s BS since all throughout history Warriors/Soldiers have been greatly feared in battle because of their great power.

I don’t care for char inspection at all. That’s a badly misused ability for players who think that your gear is more important than how well you play your char.
