Guild Wars 2

1) it would be nice if mortar becomes a kit….idk how OP that would be, but honestly it is about time we get an elite that is worth using other than supply depot.
2) mortar kit is good in itself, but if you are using it in WvW, if people see it they will rush it and it pops in a few hits. If it worked like a kit, you ckittene it when your in good range and nuke people from afar, then switch out when they get close, that way your not wasting it after a few shots.
3) You will still not be able to move while on the mortar kit, so……if you need to run you just switch kits/weapons and run….then use it again when you get in range.

The stability is good on the mortar kit, no changes needed for it since you cant move while using it anyway.

Making a change like this to Mortar Kit, may make Engineers at least useful for WvW zerg fights….since Supply Depot is worthless outside the 2 sec stun, which ise useless on hammer trains.

If you dont want mortar to be a kit….you can make the cooldown extremely low then, 30 or 60 seconds perhaps, but still have a 30 or 60cd duration…idk anet plz do something to help engis be more useful in wvw.

PVE: a lot of people don’t know what your good for, bad pugs want war or guard or ele only, high AP, link your ascended berserkers and legendary, will get you past that though.
Wvw roaming: good, great actually, even pick team.
Wvw Zerg fight: hard but can be done with the right build, gear, and experience
Wvw guilds: not many like you, lack of knowledge about the class, and the never ending talk about how other classes can do better….
Gvg: not really used, sad bcuz they have potential for pick team, but most are stuck in the old ways, namely GWEN.
Pvp: oh yeh feels good to be here.

Engi @ beta & release here, just persevere, played gw1 since 05, from my experience Anet nerfs and boosts all classes. A patch will come and make Engineers likable in all parts of the game, just wait, till then master the class. It’s a hard class to play good, but like others said if you main an engi other classes can’t compare on the play style.

it only has 1 use…..make it to Empyreal Star…..which only has use for lesser/Vision Crystal for ascended armor/weapon….so what if i dont need to craft anymore…..Will we ever get more use for such a thing because i dont want to DELETE it and then find a use for it in a patch….got about 80 stacks of this on 1 toon(stopped making it to empyreal star after i maxed all crafting months ago)…..I’m running out of place to put this crap….plz anet will we ever get a use for this.

The whole point of this post is because I’ve read too many posts in this forum that has spoilers marked on them but isn’t really a spoiler the title on their posts is just a distraction but really all they say is full of crap assumptions, like 8/10 posts in this forum is spoilers this spoilers that… The last 2 is about on swift wings is bugged….

Oh and you can’t be racist on a tool; a hammer is a tool, it’s not human, hell it’s definitely not a race. But just for educations sake; racism is defined as belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.

So maybe you meant being why is hammer hated in PVE, hated would definitely be a better term than racism.

First of all not any new build I used this build about 9 months ago worked well in pvp but roaming it was so bad cuz no one wanted to stay and fight, roaming is all about fight and kill or run and hide, can’t force anyone to fight you, so really bad mobility on this build means you can duel someone but that’s about it, you won’t kill any decent roamer, they’d run when you get close and you won’t be able to do a thing about it. Anyway enjoy your build, most don’t agree.

Don’t matter if you got 8k ap or 500, leave the hammer out of PVE, if you don’t want to get kicked or called a noob. Gs axe/mace rules dungeons, you can go switch one of those on certain parts of dungeons but using a hammer because you want to is not good enough reason to not get kicked. Hammer is meant for CC not really dps, if you want to use it so bad stay in WvWvW and pvp or do dungeons with friends but don’t complain if u pug groups and get called noob or kicked, adapt or die off, plain n simple.

You can’t really spoil anyone with assumptions, unless it’s based on facts and/or already part of the game, then it’s not a spoiler.

Lopez.7369:

The pig problem for me is that, even if it wasn’t bugged, it’s horribly designed. It’s so unintuitive. There is zero indication that you’re suddenly supposed to save a bunch of NPCs.

Pig problem indeed.

Can’t hate on charr now with that hair.

pictures speak louder than words…

Why doesnt it stay, i get it you left the party already, but past messages should not go away just because you left the party, its like the chat ddnt even happen since the whole chat log disappears after you leave party. I hope anet does something about this, its chat log after all, chat that happened already, it should leave traces and not go up and vanish.

wow i guess no one knows, 6 hrs no response.

if your gonna do 8 hour matchups,
1) no point in getting t3 keeps (and i hate defending keeps/castles, but some people do enjoy getting t3 on all there stuff, also if becomes 8 hr matchups then wvw will basically be the same as EOTM, where no one defends, its all fights or karma train, which i dont like either, but i like have the 2 different, sometimes i look for one or the other)
2)42 hr matchups atleast give people enough time to get there keeps to t3 and defend it, but at the same time it will be more costly to defend as well than what we have right now, since you cant refresh the sieges from a previous mini match, you have to use fresh supply again.
3)obviously it is still about population, a t3 server still will have no chance against a t1 server but what it comes down to is that servers who are on the same tier and are used to fighting each other will have a more equal fight….PPT doesnt mean one server is the best, it doesnt mean they win every or most fights either, all it means is that they have more coverage, breaking the week to mini matchups makes it a more equal fight between coverage issues.

Ex. if server 1 has the most NA coverage they will probably win the weekend and win matcup 1.
If server 2 has better SEA coverage they will have a boost at the start of matcup 2, know that The other servers can still win and catchup to server 2 but since server 2 has better SEA coverage, they will have faster PPT at the start of the matchup so the other 2 servers will have to work extra hard to play catchup, but obviously server 2 has the better chances of winning matchup 2.
If server 3 has good OCX coverage they have better chances of winning matchup 3.
Then lastly it will depend on who will have the better EU coverage to win matchup 4, but obviously even if 1 server is better at starting in resets does not necesarrily mean they will win the matchup. Other time zones still have to work for it as well.

Scoring it 1 for 3rd,3 for 2nd,5 for 1st per matchup makes more variability in who could win the end of the week, obviously if 1 server wins most mini matchups they would still win, but it would also show every servers strengths and weaknesses and what they can do about it. Also it will give more incentive for all servers to play across the whole week, since there is an issue where servers fight kitten weekends at the start of the matchup but by monday it is a bit obvious who would win at the end of the week, it comes down to who worked harder to ppt on the weekend basically wins, separating the week into mini matchups will make people play less hardcore during the weekend and balance there gametime across the week since 1 matchup wont win u the whole week.

Hello, its been months since the feature update back in april, i don’t do temple events often, but i have been wondering for awhile if there are timers for the events at Temples in Orr. I just miss doing them since the feature update there has been no timers for those events, and i don’t want to hang around the same map for hours just to wait for the event to start because i love doing other stuff in the game as well. I don’t know if the devs said anything about this, or if they are working on this, or if i missed a patch note, but if anyone has an answer to this it would be great, thanks in advance.

this is a good idea, the 1,3,5 pts will introduce server politics because of the time zone, people will double team for server politics, and probably this will lessen the issue of 24/7 ppt coverage.

Hey folks just read the responses, the idea of putting break stun ability on TOSS elixir B, is because other classes have a skill that has both BREAK STUN and STABILITY on the same skill.

I get the idea that engineers have struggle against conditions, but basically i find that this was made as a hard counter on specific builds, not all builds. You could run Cleansing Formula 409 and have atleast 3 elixirs in your bar, and have elixir C as one of them, that would take care of the conditions issue. It comes down to, do you want to survive the conditions, or do you want to dps the other guy down faster. As much as i want to have both in my own build, the game just wont let me, so i have to decide which i want more. So if you see a terrormancer trying to kill you, rocket boots out of the way, if you see an ally start attacking the kitten necro, then 2v1 the guy and show him not to mess with you again. Its simple really you don’t have to win ALL 1v1 fights, pick your battles and know which ones you can win and run away from the ones that you can’t. I find have elixir c break stun more broken skill than my suggestion, you may want it, and personally i think its a good idea, but it doesn’t compare with the other examples that i showed that other classes skills have.

The reason why i suggested this is because toss elixir b is very hard to use in dire situations, in the middle of a zerg fight, your guardians stability runs out, you get stuck in the middle of the enemy zerg train, you will die, this is the reason i like elixir S, because it is the only thing we have that saves me from events like this. Honestly, i find the utility skill Elixir B, lackluster, one of the reason i bring it is because of the toss elixir b tool belt skill, so you get swiftness(your group gives you almost perma swiftness unless your range), you get might & fury(have a warrior in the party, warriors can spam FGJ), Retal(guardians do it better), so it comes down to have a lackluster utility skill, and a COULD BE good tool belt skill, just lacking that break stun, so i would be able to use it in very dire situations.

You see what happens to me in WvW is i would have to use toss elixir b just before inc to the enemy zerg to make it work, by the time inc hits me, i probably have about 2-3 seconds worth of stability left if i’m lucky, it kinda makes it very hard to use especially in situations you need it the most, if given that it becomes a break stun, i could wait to use it for the right time when my guardians group stability runs out and i am stuck in the middle of the enemy zerg, that is when i would pop it then dodge/rocket boots out of the way and back to the commander. It really is simple i don’t need an overpowered skill, all i ask is to make this skill better.

Lastly, if the Devs don’t want to make TOSS Elixir B a break stun skill, then you can place the break stun on the UTILITY SKILL Elixir B instead, then people will just have to combo using both skills to make a decent get away from dire situations.

Hi frands,GM’s,fellow engineers….as you all know we only have 2 sources of stability, toss elixir b and elixir x(elite), and not many really use elixir x, so we really are left with the one. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Toss_Elixir_B

All i ask is if Anet can look at this skill and maybe by chance make this a break stun skill as well, most people i know hate the toss elixir skill already as it is RNG, but one of the reasons this skill is even important is because of stability, in dire situations where stability is important you cant even use this skill once u already got stunned/knockdowned…. many times forego this skill and instead use elixir s as it is a break stun and makes me invulerable…the thing is toss elixir b has certain uses that makes it better over elixir s, such as capping pts in pvp and as well as having that aoe stability for you and your friends in wvw fights.

Other class have atleast 1 skill in their kitten nal that does this, such as warriors(balance stance), guardians(stand your ground), eles (armor of earth), mesmer(mantra of concentration), necro(well of power), have group wide stabilitys that are break stuns, theres is even better since it is a shout, ours on the other hand is an aoe toss skill, hard enough to use it in laglastic zerg fights, much more that it is not a break stun. Engis dont have shouts, but elixirs are the closest group oriented utility skills we got.

Before someone mentions it, i know we have a skill that has both stability and break stun(rumble – tool belt of thumper turret), but in all seriousness 1 sec stability and a 45 sec cd, i don’t think people use this for the break stun part but rather more combo blast, it just bad design to begin with but the 1 sec stability wont get you out of a static field. Also honestly, no one uses thumper turret outside of pvp, if anyone does hats of to you, but thats not the point here.

I don’t see this is change(if possible) to be a would be broken skill, but hey the fact that the skill is an aoe toss skill(affects allies just like shouts affects allies, although in a different way)i think this is meant to affect not only you but your allies as well, we engis dont really have alot of break stun skills to start with, obviously different break stun skill have different uses but it wouldnt be much to ask to have both break stun and stability in the same skill wouldnt it.

Ideas/comments, share thanks!

Winning PPT is not the same as winning fights. One map blob can be farming bags at reset but lose the end of the week bcuz of lack of PPT coverage. All 3 servers are guilty of this fact. So for short, BG winning season 1 ddnt mean they won most fights, frankly they could have been farmed by other servers during clashes, but still won through coverage but all that matters in the end, and all that anyone remembers is the end result, in which case for season 2, BG isn’t winning. Wvw players taking pride for being top 1 don’t understand that they won PPT, not won all or most fights necessarily, the end.

lets make this short…ofcourse there was gonna be another QQ thread abotuthe 2v1..same old crap….moving on, its called World Vs. World Vs. World for a reason…why bcuz 3 worlds fighting . In no rules has it been established that 2 servers can not tag along and double team one other server, period, stop QQign about it. It is part of the game move on. If you don’t want to get double teamed stop palyign wvw until the tournament is over or move to a different server, in the end JQ or TC will win and BG won’t, who wins between JQ and TC, we don’t know, one thing is for sure, even if you QQ in forums, or try to antagonize the alliance between the two servers, because the server leaders won’t care about it so they won’t fight each other if BG is in front of them, period. Whoever wins between the two is not the point here, all that matters to this two servers is BG not winning it, that in itself makes it worth it, simple but thats a fact. Enough with QQing come on, just play, if not move on to something else, go PVE, go pvp, go play a different game, this game will move on with or without you. The End.

Ajax Blue, best player in the game…bear bow ranger commander.

Y’all not giving hod enough credit as far as history goes Hod was the top dog in the first few months of release. Sbi and JQ were 2nd and 3rd back then. I’ll give hod a good chance of holding it in tier 2, definitely taking out one of those servers in t2 and take its place, idk about t1 but it would be a thrill to watch them.

oh wow thank you, i never noticed that kodan sells it for 96c and 0 glory. thanks!

Hi everyone so my question is, how would i salvage dozens of pvp armor that i already have in my storage, when i don’t have anymore glory to buy pvp salvage kits since they took that out weeks ago. I already used up the salvage kits that i get from the monthly but i still have dozens and dozens of pvp armor stuck in my bank that are just taking so much space. I don’t know if Anet will give a way to salvage this instead of just deleting them, or if i would be able to salvage this with PVE salvage kits come April 15th. Anyone have an answer on this matter? Thank You.
