Guild Wars 2

Meh.
Fractals are not that hard. You can expect people above lvl 2 to know everything one can know ’bout them.

I kinda think this should go to bugs forum.

You can get at least 3 exotic items of your choosing for karma in Orr the moment you hit 80.
Really, saying that you don’t want to “grind” (!) for exotics is a weak excuse for being lazy and ill informed.
And difference in stats between exotics and rares is like 5-10%. You can get lvl 80 rares with any stats for some silver on TP.

Thre’s really nothing hard in obtaining gear at level 80. Just read something about the game you’re playing instead of inventing excuses.

I know for a fact that I’m not the only one who runs fractals with a profit.
Just die less.
The only way to actually lose money on repair costs is to die ALOT. And since we have combat res and downed states it is really hard to do. Unless you’re intentionally trying to go down in hard to reach places.
So people who “don’t have money for repairs” are either really greedy and want to get every single bronze scrap they can or they are really bad or just trolling and messing around.
-_-

Yes, we need one.
And is should be cross-server.
We can already go to dungeons with people from other servers through overflow. So make this official and make it easy.

It’s a chance for people to actually participate in event that they’ve missed.
And since it is going on in overflow event is still technically one-time per server.
Everyone wins.

I guess ANET should make another chest like they did with the madking. So everyone would be able to get that trinket or w\e. Even those who had “technical difficulties”.

Can’t log in.
This is strangesince all the event mob should be logging off right now and I could’ve actually played the game.

Great.
So people who wasn’t able to log in during this whole madness will miss a one unique and really usefull item.
Yay. The joy.

Yes I want the game to turn into dungeon lobby as well.
All zones are so crowded now, I wish everyone would just sit in LA and wait for dungeon queue to pop.
Wholeheartedly agree to this suggestion.

So you never were at Balthazar temple?

I really can’t understand how people who are just looking fot people to run specific dungeon levels have become “elitist”, “selfish” etc.

I can understand why some people don’t like the whole concept of tiered progression. But why insult the ones who actually likes or simply deals with it? Dat community, hating you for playing GW2 the way you want.

@Yumiko Ishida, I actualy started playing GW2 during Halloween event. So I am still a very big newb. Still I have no problems running around Orr solo, getting exotics for karma and spending 2 out of my 5 gold on items. There’re a lot of problems in this game but getting high-end gear ain’t one of them. Really.

If it would be too hard to find relevant level group, then hardcore players will adapt and lower their demands.
That’s how you need to play it – adapting to situation. Not always whining on forums.

How come it is based on luck?
There ain’t no random in that fractal, you just need to see the petterns.

Yumiko Ishida.3769:

Fractals on the other hand is already requiring people with full exotics/legends to go with them for even lv 1 fractal. If you don’t have exotics, you are left out. I can’t do it even if I had the gear as my machine can’t support gw 2 much longer.

So I’m left behind again because no one cares to help anyone. I see it every day and experience it myself as well.

If I could get the ascended gear, I don’t have to pay for exotics/Legendaries. I believe the ascended stuff is a good idea in principal if it was done better as it helps the disenfranchised on here get good gear.

Its a sad day for GW 2.

Firstly, that’s a lie. People are even willing to group with non-80 lvl to do fractals. No one mentioned about full exotics.

Secondly, exotics are not that hard to get. You should have enough karma to buy three items in Orr right away as you hit 80. Also you can gett full rare items from TP for around 1,5 gold.

Yumiko Ishida.3769:

If I could get the ascended gear, I don’t have to pay for exotics/Legendaries.

There will be only ascended rings and back items for now. So you still wanna have exotics as your end-game items.

Running around in lvl 60 blues and not wanting to spend some time and money on uprading your gear is your problem.

Well I dunno what is the problem when you actually know how to do it.
Took us three tries when we figured out the way around the spawning walls =\

The feeling when you actually complete it rather pays off for frustration.

Agreed. This needs to be fixed ASAP.

I think swamp is actually easy mode once you know how to do it. Really exploitable for fast loot.

I already saw “5+ lvl only plz” today.
I guess everyone should really tryhard to progress to some higher level now, cause it will be harder and harder to actually find a group for low levels.
Large guild helps alot.

Rukia.4802:

If lower level events would actually scale to high level 80 event rewards (if you are 80) then more people would be scattered all over the world.

There would still be some zone with easiest\most profitable\most popular events where everybody would stay.

What bothers me alot is not only low population but the silence.
I see some people in all zones, even a lot of players in LA but it is always silence in map chat.
Beside the occassional “LFG” no one is typing. I really feel like I’m playing with bots.
Most MMO’s I’ve played were much more sociable with random people floding in chat constantly. But in GW2 there is only silence.

Sylv.5324:

That’s false. They’ve systematically (and disproportionately) populated all three orders

That’s not the point.

Sylvari may be quite common in the world (which is already really stupid snce they are so young of a race) but they lack any political weight in the world. No mighty army, no oil, no essential technology. Just a bunch of treehuggers.
They are a good gun fodder in the grinder of war. But will political leaders give them any token of power? No.

There are no sylvari in the Order higher ranks. It is always either asura or charr.

And Trahearne was never in the Orders actually.

Theik.9340:

Elixer D
Drink a danger elixer, which instantly rallies you, but applies the following conditions to you:

Chilled, Crippled, Immobilized, Vulnerable * 10, Weakness

Lol. Then you drink elixir C and get 5 free boons and insta-rally. Nice.

But yeah, our downed skills are quite bad.

This system was made for large number of players.
But since now zones are ghost-towns everything crumbles: players can’t do events because there’s too few of them → players get frustrated and leave → even less players – > fail.

Another thing that really bothers me is the fact that he is sylvari.

It’s just so random, it really ruins whole lore of the world.
We have basically two real political powers:
1) Asura with their gates;
2) Charr with their superior war machine.

Humans are just a shadow of their past. Norns are a bunch of rednecks living in northlands. And sylvari are just a third-world country with no influence whatsoever.

Yet when their tree-god suddenly tells that she chose Trahearne as the leader for combined army everyone fall in line and accept this as granted.
Why? This is such a gaping black hole in scenario.
It is as if some random dude from small african country got in charge of NATO. Yeah, because the shaman said so.

It would be much more logical to give power to someone who already has some political weight behind him. While Trahearne gets to be some councilor.

When I saw the vision during the PS I expected that Trahearne would build up his personality, change himself and actually earn his right to be a Marshall.
But no, he gets everything for free. All hail the brain fungi of the pale tree.

I just hate this walking tree.

Really, first I do all the stuff, kill millions of risen and help orders. Then, out of nowhere, a sylvari tree-god says that everyone should bow to sylvari and says Trahearne is the leader. Why?! How?! What the kitten?!

This part of plot is so lame I can’t even understand why it was made this way. And he is an emprty character as well with zero personality.

I’d love to see him burn.

Zidijan.4826:

How’s that? I don’t think power makes you attack faster.

The thing is, p\p have 4 damage skills with low CDs and they are good for any combat situation.

Rifle have 2 main damage skills and one of them is autoattack. So overally you have a faster “rotation” with p\p than with rifle.

P\P with power and precision are fine. Their skills are much more usable in real world.
It really depends on what are you’re trying to achieve wih engi.

Brannidus.4175:

there would be no sense of danger in the world.

danger in the world

danger

Lolwhat?!
Please tell me when do you ever feel danger in this game. People already run through mobs\events. Mounts will just make it less boring and will add new vanity options for that kind of players.

I’m yet to see a single real reason for all this “nomountsplz11” stuff.

lorazcyk.8927:

It’s not something you have to do everyday… so relax!

But it is.

Dailies are made for people who don’t have a lot of time to play every day, to give them some rewards even if you don’t spend much time farming events. It is a guaranteed way to have at least some exp, money and karma for those who log in for 1-2 hours before sleep.

If you have time to spend many hours in-game to find groups, do dungeon runs with PUGs, grind sPvP and WvWvW then you don’t need daily tasks. Honestly.

Lorana.2468:

there was once a time when you could buy Salvage Kits/Gathering Tools with it in LA but alas this was apparently un-intended.

Can’t you buy them from heart-vendors?

I’d say Ascalonians
So you’ve just defeated our army and want your lands back? Nope, we’d better all die in a huge nuclear explosion and become ghosts to haunt you forever.

And since we have condition stacking limit in PvE and tons of condition removal in PvP it would be completely balanced.

Well I don’t mind new content for organized parties. That would be great.

But there is no need to change what’s already in-game and breaking it for some people.

The thing is – you can achieve what you want right now. Just find a constant group of players to play with. Yeah, game doesn’t force you to do it, but you can do it.

What you are suggesting just takes freedom away, forcing EVERYONE to play like YOU want. This is bad in so many ways.

And again – even now certain zones are just empty. Not even two people. If one won’t be able to solo a huge amount of content will simply vanish from game, because everyone would just doing the same easiest route and leaving hard\unpopular zones to rot in oblivion. Yeah, such a great design move.

So you basically want to make game unenjoyable for anyone who don’t play in populated zones\prime time.
It is already hard to complete some DE in ghost-zones and almost everywhere after midnight. Please, no.

Why are you so fixed up on how other people play?
Really, just play as you see fit and don’t bother others.

If I don’t want to kill useless trash mobs – it is my choice, not yours.

If you want to do it – please help yourself. And don’t bother me or others.

Thank you.

Daily tasks are made this way so you can do them solo. And within small amounts of time.

If you’ll add tasks that require finding a party, doing dungeon runs or PvPing it would ruin the whole concept.

Instead of just playing we would be forced to grind daily tasks or waste a kittenload of time trying to find a group for some particular dungeon (which is very boring since we don’t have LFG tool).

So no. Everything is fine now.

In my experience only flamejet skills (1 from FT and 4 from p\p) don’t work with strafing. All others will always hit your selected target as long it is not directly behind you.

It would be nice if high-level mask were actually a rebreathers of some sorts. Like this or this .
It would be a lot more “engineerish”, not some generic brigand outfit we have now.

I just can’t understand people who say about “mounts wihtout MS buff”. This is stupid, to imagine engineer running faster than someone on a battlewagon or horse-equivalent.

Traits and skills that give swiftness are for COMBAT. They are usefull that way.

But now we are FORCED to use swiftness to travel outside combat. And this is just wrong.

We need mounts with +33% to MS.

I don’t understand why people say that pistol is for condition damage.
Sure Rifle has higher base damage, but with p/p you have 4 damage abilities that you can use everytime they’re off cooldown and they don’t break AA. And they all apply a lot of conditions.
With rifle #3 engi needs to be in melee, #4 is very situational and actually disrupts engi more than it disrupts enemy lowering our dps, and #5 also is melee range and disrupts our attacks. So rifle engineer actually left to use 2 out of 5 skills to deal damage reliably and he still needs to be at close range.

I’d love to have those charr warwagons rolling.

I’d say #2 on pistol is the best dps at close range, in PvE at least. With power+precision it deals huge amounts of damage.

Well I guess engi is more usefull for pugs, offering massive condition removal for those glass canons, a lot of slows\snares and some healing.

Mesmers are better for organized groups who can make use of chaos storm and combo fields through positioning. Just my thoughts.

It would be nice if they were magnetic mines and were attracting to enemies instead of just lying around.

So post this in bugs forum?
How engineer players can help you with this >_>

I think p/p have a rather nice dps paired with hairtrigger trait in firearms. Way higher than rifles in most pve scenarios.
Though I never cared about being #1 dps anyways.

nofo.8469:

I also have an 80 exo mesmer.

Engineer does more dps in PvE and offers far more support and utility.

I dunno about that. I kinda feel that mesmer who can consistently apply aegis and chaos shield in AOE is more usefull for organised group.
