Guild Wars 2

Oh god. Literally the same hour i transfer to this server (BG) I am attacked by a sword dagger thief in CoF zerker gear from Sanctum Of Rall I believe that just abused the kitten out of Cloak and dagger and him and his little friend had a good time jumping on my corpse when I do die -_- Can’t wait to see more of T1…..

Yea i do agree with OP. RNG does suck but it would be alot less annoying if there were more weapon/armor varieties that could drop. Having only precursors really isn’t much. And yea there’s a chance at exotics but it’s usually not anything over 5g worth or anything. I’d love to see dungeon-related RNG drops that would be account bound. I didn’t play gw1 but it sounds like it could be cool.

It’s a silly and out of place map. PvP’ers already have it hard enough in this game the last thing needed is a map where necro’s are even stronger and mesmers can kill 4 people with 1 skill. It’s guardian or death in skyhammer

If you think that getting rid of “kiddies” would help the game in anyway you’re greatly mistaken. Video games almost always have their marketing focus on people under 18 years of age mostly due to the fact that most have alot of spare time that they can play the game. Most people over the age of 18 have a job or go to college so they do not have nearly enough free time that they can play GW2. So if Anet did for some reason listen to OP and marketed this game to an older audience i’m sure they’d lose alot of profits. Honestly, most younger players in this game just contribute to the community. You never see a 14 year old coming on to the forums complaining about WvW mechanics ect.. ect… And they seem to be just overall more friendly then the 35 year old unemployed man that seems to have nothing better to do than sit in LA with his commander tag on. There are obviously a few exceptions to these but this is how i see it for the most part.

you ‘ought to be kidding me…. Ele’s definitely needed that last nerf. If you cant outrun a ranger, guardian or a ranger. You’re doing it wrong. Ele’s are definitaly not the fastest anymore but it’s not too hard to save Ride the lightning for an escape, swap to fire, burning speed, swap to water and use aura=safe. I’ve outrun zergs of people on my lvl 50 ele :P and if it’s really that big of a deal swap out a utility for something a little more mobile? I really don’t see the need to start a whole thread post about it.

Idk if this is just for me or for everyone but something needs to be fixed lol

Now i’m not gona go on saying things like warrior need more damage because we really dont. We just have a hard time being able to actually hit the damage without being either kited or just die from conditions.

My suggestion would be that a warriors greatsword third auto attack in the chain sends one condition from you onto the person you are attacking.

Yea, having major burst is strong but there are alot of ways to counter it. It’s not always about stats. I rarely get ganked on my mostly zerk warrior because i’m 90% of the time aware of my surroundings and i know what they’re going to try to do to me. I’m sure guardians can do the same with their skills and retaliation. I can also slay gc thieves with my thief (very far from GC) stats are definitaly a huge factor but just plain old skill can get you further. (not saying you’re bad)

I use steal 100% of the time i can. It’s a amazing gap closer and i have 2 seconds of stealth after stealing so it’s Really useful

Hey man, i was in generally the same position you’re in right now. I opened 350 on stream and i was so dissapointed. I can’t even imagine how 2,000 must have felt. But just about 10 minutes ago, i was trying to farm some corrupted lodestones and i got some coffers no biggy. I was one click away from selling them, then i realized i was out of food and i liked the healing power food and Voila. There before my eyes lay the most beautiful animated ticked for a virtual skin i have ever seen. I’m sure if you really want one. You will get it!

I have a Rabid build for my ranger and it works nicely but is very limited. (sorry i forget it) But I’ve come to realize it’s very weak in 1v1’s or duels. In theory it seems like it would be very strong but in reality, with a few cond removals I end up getting most of my damage from just the base dmg on crossfire(shortbow #1) Which isn’t too strong if you’re not built for straight damage. I’d suggest Rampager’s if you want good damage or zerk

Beastmaster was a silly build. I’m glad it’s being nerfed. I was getting so sick of people just running around dilly-dally’ing not doing anything while their pet crits me for 3k. We’ll just have to see how this whole nerf/buff thing plays out though.

Actually playing>doing the math. You could say LB is stronger then SB but in game, i’m sure your minds could be changed. I do appreciate all the work you’ve put into making this though.

Ele’s are in need for a nerf bigger then this. I find if funny how you have the nerve to complain about the smallest stun breaker nerf. And honestly i really hope i see a glyph ele or something crazy after this patch and maybe he wont be absolutely terrible.

I’m a story nut and kitten proud of it!

Kain Francois.4328:

Hoping for nice engineer and ranger changes!

Where does it say ranger and engi changes?

Yes i have to agree with this, I have actually done it to a friend. At the end of a lvl 24 fractal he decided to get the chest before rezzing me. Now we kinda laughed it off after excessive cursing but i could see how it could help 2 trolls from kicking the whole group.

Yea, thieves are already annyoing enough to deal with and mesmers are at a state where it’s not even fun to duel them in WvW. I would really like to see torment on maybe sword offhand #4 skill where you throw your sword and it applies torment+bleeds? Idk just an idea but i agree with OP

So… i’m quite new in T1 but i was just wondering. Does everyone dance/laugh on your corpse or is it just most people?

Absolutely everythign! From the lore to playing with some of the top sPvP players and running around in WvW with some friends. This game is so amazing in my eye’s and it is still such a young game. I just wish everyone could see it like i do.

ele’s have stability? ele’s have mistform? ele’s can teleport stomp? Yes it is indeed annoying getting stomped and being able to do nothing about it, but it’s a part of the game and you cannot remove prime factors like these. Thieves are a stealth class, get in, kill someone and get out. That cannot be done while you spend 4 seconds stomping someone in the middle of the fight.

Number 1: If a mesmer is attacking you with scepter auto-attack and you reflect the third shot(the one that makes a clone) it creates a clone of the person that reflected the shot. Now i know this is probably there purposely BUT without a limit, it can get a bit silly. I’ve seen someone in WvW with what i’m assuming was a friend of his on the other server and they had about 15-20 clones going at once. The clones aren’t strong because the mesmer could tank them but you might want to set a limit or somethin.

Number 2: This one is alot more serious and i bet alot of you reading this aren’t gona like me giving this away but it’s just crazy. In CoF path 2 there’s a way you can jump on the doors and you can skip from the first room to the last room in about 2 minutes and you don’t need to kill a single mob. (i do know the spots but i’d rather not publicize it anymore then necessary)

In a perfect world that would work but it doesn’t anymore. High tier guilds can and will flock to a low tier server and dominate all tiers until it’s t1/2/3. It happened with a few servers so far. Kaineng is the best example.

I don’t see the problem if they limit these free transfers to once in three months for example.

It’s fortunate that those in charge DO see the problems that would happen if they did this.

lay it on me big boy

Even now with paid transfers it’s happening. Dragonbrand used to be an average WvW server, t3-4-5 and just around there. But some high tier guilds decided to move there and before you know it Dragonbrand was in T1. They didn’t do too well in t1 but they got there, and alot of servers aren’t able to say that. Btw if you really need to transfer i’ve heard you can delete all your toons and transfer for free. Doesn’t sound very real but i’m sure you could find the dev post.

Doomdesire.9365:

SoR has always been about the fights. If you came here from another server because we were on our way to the top and you only care about the PPT, then you might as well transfer, because we want fights, and we will have them. Everyone there had fun and the map was calm. If we were losing our garrison I might be able to sympathize will you, but nothing was happening.

FYI, the queue was only one minute. I’m sure nobody was kitten ed because they were stuck in a one minute queue.

i just laughed….. sooo kitten hard at your comment.

Yea i’ve seen quite a few dev’s in game before.

:O that’s kittenn awesome, time to get me a legendary !!

Julie Yann.5379:

I loved Orr until they nerfed the kitten out of it. Now is deserted and since many of the events can’t be soloed there is no point in even visiting it.

LOL you really just said that…. It’s a level 80 area, of course you’re not supposed to be able to solo the events.

If you want sPvP i’d suggest Anvil Rock, but if you’re into WvWvW which is just hours of endless slaughter and good times, i’d pick the one with the best name. I chose Blackgate and it worked for me although i’d think twice before joining any high tier servers due to Que time’s being pretty annoying.

I disagree with the winner getting a prize. Sorry if you’re on SoR or JQ but Blackgate recently has been #1 and i don’t see much change on the horizon. So i would just get laurels/silver/karma or whatever the prize may be, constantly? I just dont think it would work, as much as i would love it too.

Daecollo.9578:

I love the Asura race, however with all the advantages they get other races, why isn’t this addressed in SPVP when everything is made to be fair?

Some advantages they share:
- Less obvious animations.
- Harder to see.
- Less likely to see coming.
- Matches Minions size.
- Harder to see over walls/barriers.
- Harder to hit in a crowd, because they can hide inside bigger toons.

What is there disadvantage? I don’t really see any myself.

With such a huge advantage in SPVP, why use anything but Asura?

I believe that they should get a 20m-30m melee, 100m-150m range disadvantage just by being so short.

I don’t mind if nothing changes at all, however I would like to hear others opinions.

I agree with this, i see alot of high lvl PvP’ers just have 5 or 6 asuran toons all for PvP. And it just looks silly having 5v5 and everyone’s an asura.

DevonCarver.5370:

Deniara Devious.3948:

Having the outmanned “buff” visible to the enemy teams causes the other 2 servers gang together against the weakest one.

This will no longer be the case in the next build. We’ve changed outmanned so that only friendlies can see it.

That was a great idea whoever thought of it! Can’t wait to see how it effects gameplay now. Definitely gona be a reduction in people saying they’re being double teamed.

Suck it up, put on your big girl pants and move on with your life.

Mrbig.8019:

traps are horribad ( mostly due to having no traits related, not being AoEs and not being persistent)

I just wanted to add to this, even if it’s a small little bit that I thought of when I read that. The poison trap is absolute trash.

A) Poison in PvP from a single proc use is almost guaranteed to be useless in PvP because condi removal is so insanely strong.
B) The damage from the poison trap will bring you out of stealth as if you actually attacked your opponent. So if you are unfortunately invested 30 into Shadow Arts, and were relying on that shadow refuge stealth to heal you up and remain a presence without dying immediately … well, too bad, Anet’s ability to design and let alone balance this game is quite lacking.

Death Blossom … also, in PvP, is a horrid joke of a skill. Hard to land all hits, even if you’re right on top of your opponent, simple movement can negate one or two hits, which the physical portion doesn’t matter … it’s the lack of 1 or 2 stacks of bleed, all that damage!! (Oh wait, they’re 10 second bleeds) Who the hell is going to allow a bleed to stay on them for 10+ seconds in SPvP?

If Death Blossom was going to actually be worth a kitten in PvP, it would require the bleeds be a MUCH shorter duration, and have more stacks of bleeds so that you can ACTUALLY get the damage in there.

Simple fix, even if it seems like it would be OP (because people might actually use it, even with it’s trashy 1/4th of a second evasion, which is literally 1/4th of the animation, if not less so you’re vulnerable as a helpless kitten while you’re flopping midway through the air trying desperately to actually land all 3 hits on someone) is to simply cut the bleed duration in half, and then double the stacks of bleeds. That way they will actually do damage before they’re AUTOMATICALLY REMOVED by something like a Guardian.

(Because not having to think about removing a condition = skill, right?)

On an actual positive note though, something Arenanet actually did right for once was put boon stealing on S/D. Except that’s now FOTM and S/D thieves spam 3 all day and do decently because the evasion on that is 1/2 second vs 1/4th second that Death Blossom has.

Flanking Strike, even with it’s own variation okittenwardness, easily trumps Death Blossom due to evasive time, animation length, and reliability in both usage AND damage.

Thief really has no place as a condition built class, or so it feels. Condi removal just too easy … so when I look at Death Blossom when using D/D I’m left thinking.

“Okay … 1, 2, and 5 are good. 3 is trash, and 4 was over nerfed and is now trash as well”

… I hate how pigeonholed thief is, and how useless so much of our traits feel. LOL … 20% CHANCE TO HAVE A BULLET OF LOW PITIFUL DAMAGE REFLECT TO SOMEONE ELSE. <—- ?!?! XD And that’s BUFFED from it’s initial 7%!

Who the EFF thought of that bad idea. It’s like they scraped by for ideas for traits. There’s a strong MANY reasons I don’t invest a lot of time into this game.

poison is insanely bad in PvP now? Even though it counters most bunker builds which are very frequent in PvP ?

Lol, so blinding powder is bad now? even though if you lay down a blinding powder and use cluster bomb it’s an aoe stealth ? Jeesus, learn your class before you rage and say it needs a huge buff.

y’know, it is true that you dont get much for story mode in other dungeons but i actually agree with OP. It took me too dam long to find a party for my first Arah SM.

stale.9785:

I won’t play the classes that didn’t belong. Asura, norn and sylvari. Seriously, before EotN, they had been talking about expanding the Tengu, Krait and Centaurs into playable races, which would have fit better than rat people, giant vikings and salad people.

lol….. you think four legged half man-half horse fits better then a tall buff human? aka norn

I will NOT play human….

everyone plays human…

why would i want to look exactly the same as 99% of the other players in this game?

All of the server’s are open right now if you haven’t already transferred!!!!!!

Finally no more Darkhaven! Thank god, i want my dam SM back

dat….

zerg……..

PvP takes skill and you Must know what you’re doing or you dont get a team. WvW you get a team and you could just run in and spam 2 as a thief for all the commander cares and still be “good” :P that is unless you’re a roaming gc thief, if that’s the case you win the game.

:( i just started making this exact thing and there you go and 1-up me

I’m not very fond of the people in XOXO but this person whoever you may be has earned some respect.

I may not be the best but kittenmit do it try!

• **** ******* ********, please, this game is about 10 months old. Go make your own game if you feel this doesn’t meet your standards.

Post edited by moderator. Please refrain from using offensive language.

It’s not the server cost, although personally i do really want them to open it but i know if they did it would be a mistake. It would only create more problems and it would ultimately be for the worse, although i do believe adding more servers would benefit as all the servers populations are “Very High” and the top few servers are “Full” and aslong as they had a cool name that would attract new players to join i don’t see much area for failure.

Lolol the devs do interact with the community I see them in wvw and devons always replying on forums people just like to kitten and those mewling kittens believe it or not no matter how loud they are are the minority

Haven’t seen Wide Charr in the longest time, not since the great Dev-ine intervention that sent GoM down to tier 8…..i guess hes just busy.

I dont even get to cap mesmer dev no more =/

i saw Wide Charr on a few days ago crackin jokes in LA lol, he’s on right now aswell in lions arch

This is the forums, when kids get killed by a thief they come on and vent their anger towards whatever they can. Best idea is to just ignore useless, unproductive threads like this.

This is the attitude i like to hear from Anet dev’s, reviewing a new patch never hurts!
