Guild Wars 2

I for one supported the guild wars 2 devs for the purpose of adding it which was – to help players new and old in the game, however in beta we all mentioned that this is going to be abused a lot to which in your dev talks you all say “The good outweighs the bad”

Well not in this case,because this tag is gated poorly literally every person who purchased Hot has it and today our teq event was flooded with 15 – 20 tags and there were ppl running everywhere and we barely succeeded with this event, champ farms are even worse with groups getting split all over the map ruining event progression.
I have no idea how many legit newbies get trolled by these apples each day but i will leave it for them to speak up

This tag is not being used to “mentor” ppl at all hence it is not for-filling its purpose, either push it to rank 5 or remove it

Reasoning is Choice

Depends – solo ,group , roamer ,speed , control ?? what do you want??

Err nope, there doesn’t seem to be any berserk or enrage timer any dps increase is just a bonus not needed

Yes and you speak for all the players in gw2 /clap

No, its not ok
You don’t create content and divide the player base on it
Much like the pve. pvp and wvw <————-All of them are players nothing more nothing less

I wanted to send ColinJohanson.2394 a message after hearing what I think is a contradiction in messaging coming from the developement team. On the one hand, Colin likes to remind everyone that Guild Wars 2 doesn’t have a gear grind, that (after Ascended armor that is) there are no plans to raise the level cap, or create new tiers of gear. However, at almost the same time, the development team is smugly promising that the so-called Zerker meta in PvE won’t cut it in the new content and will be unsuitable. Look, we players didn’t make stupid AI and encounters that are optimized by gear with these stats. So isn’t this just a veiled gear grind, since all my Ascended Berserker’s / Assassin’s gear will be obsolete?

He never said they will be obsolete.

maddoctor.2738:

“Tanking” in some way or form has been a thing since release too, just see bunkers in PVP. The reasons tanky specs aren’t used in PVE is because there is no need to hold points /defend an area until help arrives, which is the point of a bunker. Maybe in the raids some players will need to guard a specific area and hold enemies for a while, until the rest of the team can do something else.

You have never heard of a “Dedicated tank” i believe and you assume it being dull for EVERYONE is hilarious

lordkrall.7241:

Healing have been a thing since release. It is nothing new. Tanking on the other hand wouldn’t really work all that well in a game where the main way to survive is avoiding damage rather than soaking it up.

You have never heard of a “Dedicated healer” lmao

Hashar.6082:

DresdenAllblack.1249:

Agree with this nerf. Two IBs could clear any dungeon, why bring anything else?

Why? Because you want to have more fun.
And if you don’t, you may as well use a skill that allows you to clear the dungeon quickly and receive your rewards. I have sincerely no idea why would anyone dislike Ice Bow in PvE. Unless, of course, you really like to force others into playing their game the way you prefer to play it.

Because dependency duh

thrag.9740:

Here is a list of exploits that should be fixed.

-CM: standing on the wooden plank to kill frost
-CM: air guns to one shot wahlen
-Arah: cheese walling lupi
-Arah: jumping the wall to skip half of p4, also works on p3
-Cliffside: cheesing diviner on the rock
-Mai trin: Ellen keil res exploit
-Jade maw: reflect crystal duplication exploit
-Swamp: mossman underwater exploit
-Volcanic growl fractal: stone duplication exploit for first boss

It’s great that your attempting to do something about the state of pve anet. But 2 years of neglect is not going to be undone by changing 2 parameters in your code. You need to continue to make improvements.

I heard ppl getting banned for them, there’s even selling groups saying “No exploits” in their lfg

Test.8734:

Paulash.5814:

My only response to this is that many players have level 80 Rangers on their account.

How many players who currently have a level 80 ranger on their account have created that character to play as a dedicated healer?

Zero.

False i have lvl 80 ranger specific to healing/support please dont speak for everyone if you don’t know everyone

Thank you

My first legendary took me 3 months to make inspite of getting a lucky MF drop for my precursor , my second took me 3 weeks inspite of me having to buy the precursor

Making a raid without a tank or a dedicated healer,i am pretty sure raids will go the way of dungeon difficulty,

we have already seen content like fractals ,dungeons and world bosses with this setup, you think raids will be any different ??

Darkness.9732:

I’ m kinda scared about having news on Druid.
You know I’ am a ranger since day 1…I can’ t survive to another hearth attack for my beloved ranger.
Cross fingers

why? if its good use it ,if its not dont use it

Yeah it will take time for the transaction to pass, took my account about a week before i got the extra slot

Necros always had a place in pve , unless you want to go to those elitist groups . I dont really see who stops you from doing pve content with a necro unless its yourself

thefinnster.7105:

Methods.4023:

It’s something you want but don’t need. It’s not a new tier

many players would argue the same thing about ascended in fact i know quite a few players who haven’t even bothered to make ascended yet coz its stat gain benefit is so insignificant
so anyone who made it didn’t relay need it they wanted it coz i think we can all agree that you can manage just as well without it using exotic armours
i think too many players are hung up on the fact that theres no better stats on it and compleatly missing the fact that this armour IS better than ascended simply because of the option to change stats
no matter how i look at it i see this as an upgrade and the next step up on armour quality

Upgrade yes, a convenience/quality upgrade
New tier nope , i dont think you understand the meaning of “Tier”
for eg :
Ascended is a tier upgrade to exotic gear

I agree, all i want is the 10 points .Some dailies don’t belong with each other
How can you compare harvest 5 lumbers to doing a set of fractals, the time gap is huge between them or
Spend 25 honor or capture a keep , Dafaq?
And they all contribute +1 to the set no matter how absurdly different they are -_-.

NikeEU.7690:

The big thing is that Berserker > Discipline in solo play. Strength, Arms, Berserker greatsword camping. If you don’t need Fast hands Berserker is clearly better than Discipline.

Wouldn’t burst mastery trait keep your adrenaline full always in berserk mode ?

Thaddeus.4891:

Killyox.3950:

In group play everyone and their mother has vulnerability. Engineer and Shiro Rev stack it within seconds to 25 for example ;p. So do other classes.

Against normal mobs yes. Against bosses no.

Lmao world bosses always have 25 stack of everything on them

Get rid of one trait line to make room for berserker , which one will you take out ? This is very crap decision if you ask me -_-

Kormeg.2469:

Kidel.2057:

How do you call something that does cc to not take damage?
How do you call something that does cc to drain break bars and doesn’t take lethal damage meanwhile?

I call both forms of tanking.

And that’s just your definition.

Mine says that a tank is someone that forces enemies to attack them instead of their teammates, so said mates can focus on dps.

And I dont see that happening.

The only way you could bring a tank in to the game is if the boss’s basic attack’s one shot’s a zerker with a protection buff, but in doing so you will also create a need for a healer and we then say welcome to the trinity

I have never been in a raid that doesn’t obey the trinity, this is going to be my first :O

SkiTz.4590:

There won’t be another way and thats how it should be.

What you want is an easier way to get the armor, its not happening.

I was waiting for ohoni to pop up and finally make a thread complaining about exclusive rewards

Just like there’s no way for you to get the legendary back from PvP leagues in other ways.

Just deal with it ok. If you don’t like it, BYE. Anet made it 100% accessible to everyone playing the game. Just get a 10 man team, and go try it out.

“I don’t want to do it but I want the best stuff” is not a valid excuse.

Colin said live at PAX that raids will have masteries and that is the only way to get the precursor required for Legendary armor. Those precursors are account bound btw, so no, they will not be on TP for you to just simple buy after you spammed auto attack in silverwastes for a week.

Raiding should only be about challenge, that’s why its specifically being put in game, not to have exclusive gear,pets which cannot be obtained outside raiding , if gw2 wants to maintain “Play the way you want” attitude then they will have to make it available outside it or you will have to obey a dictator yelling on ts to use a warrior/ele/chrono with you -_- <———- this is not what gw2 is about and should not be

I have been trying to join surmia.eu on ts3, but i a getting a failed to connect to server address or cannot resolve with host , am i missing a port address or is this server private and not public
Ppl say in my server its surmia.eu but i can’t connect to it ,am i doing something wrong ?

Harper.4173:

NoTrigger.8396:

it was never advertized like that. people say it was because they turn everything around.
gw2 was never meant to be THE MMO for lazy and bad players.

But sadly that’s mostly what it ended up being.

How so??

This is least toxic game i have played
A person who grinded out their legendary/ a wvw title/ dragon finishers are not lazy players
There is a high level of playing this game, its just up to you to go for it

I think thats too much for a veteran player, we already get an extra slot if we have been playing before January, as a veteran i am contented with the 3 years of progression i had in the game over a new player
For me the question comes is a mini expansion +3 years of content worth the 50 dollars?
I am inclined to believe so

dominik.9721:

hello my frands me have 40:60 win ratio in esports mode cofp1 need helpp

actually this discussion is easy to solve.
The goal in PvE-content is to finish the content, which you can reach with every gear / build you want
The goal in PvP is to win the game, where your chances to win are directly connected with your build.

if you consider tpvp esports macthes and pve records you have to run meta builds in both parts to be successful.

I always love the discussion between PvP randoms claiming pve so ez allthough they even didn’t finish a single arah run and salty Pve players jealous about not beeing esport knowing there are maybe better players around in a mode they can’t compete with

shake hands my frands and take a brinch of salt throw it in each others eyes

Nope pvp/pve is all about teamwork , how strong that teamwork is determines if you succeed or not, build will always be secondary in any format of the game in any game like its always been gear/buffs/stats/talent etc is nothing and meaningless if you do not have a strong social group
Esport players are not strangers or pug members to one another they have been playing together maybe for years and its that bond what makes them stronger, this is an MMORPG after all

Warlord.9074:

Considering that in PVP u are not going to want dual axes it is only 150.

I dont care of pvp , i got all those achieves a long time ago and the rewards track came a little too late for me

Goldenrevolver.4371:

Cygnus.6903:

Is this confirmed?

its confirmed that it does on the test servers but they cant really make it so it doesnt. eg. if u fire of a killshot is obviously gains the damage boost as u cant wait for killshot to hit something until u give the damage boost. so if u miss u get nothing. it gives the 20% damage buff at the beginning of the cast time so evis etc will gain the damage buff

That would make axe mastery useless then

Cygnus.6903:

If you do a level 3 burst with something like GS, then swap to Axe, get full adrenaline back (new healing surge, shouts, signet of fury), Evis will hit stupidly hard.

But I agree on Zende, will need a lot of adjusting to your playstyle now that you will miss that extra range.

Would’nt the extra 300 ferocity with dual axes cover the loss of 8 sec 12 % damage increase and with burst precision it would always critically hit no matter what and i am talking specifically of Evicerate not about aoe dps, rotation dps etc , how hard it will be to hit a pve target? lmao

Disagree because of all the elitism that would come with it and not because its not fun to do

Warlord.9074:

Pretty sure it will have something to do with dual wielding.

DUAL GREATSWORDS

Muhahahaha

how hard you think it will hit with proper set up?? with new specialization of course

Anything works in PvE, i don’t think you should worry too much about that

The same can be said about PvP and WvW.

You can literally completely every single part of the PvE content with any build you would like to.

can not say the same to PvP and WvW

you can roam in wvw with whatever build you want. you can zerg with whatever build you want. you can hotjoin with whatever build you want, you can solo queue with whatever build you want.

so yeah, you can.

you literally just talked about 66% of the content in PvP and call it 100%?
and no, you can’t run any build you want in soloq, unless loosing means success in your book

No one looses 100 % of the time, it is statistically impossible over a long period of time, the average pug player has a 40-60 %win ratio in solo queue, you can literally do anything in this game with any build in any format of the game

Actually no you cannot eliminate leechers in any format of the game

Kagamiku.9731:

He’s referring to pure GS over GS/AxeMace I think.

And don’t believe it would be better simply because of how many vulnerability stacks you can apply with axe/mace. And also the eviscerate axe burst skill does way more damage than the arcing slice burst skill..And you’ll want to be spamming Axe burst now after the buff to berserker’s power.

Well arcing slice is a multi target with a fury buff so i guess its a situational choice on which burst should be used, what bugs me is i cant take axe mastery +berserker power at the same time :\

Juba.8406:

That is wrong unless you play PvE or WvW roaming and its obvious why, Stationery targets for your 100b and mobility.

GS has no place in PvP yet, lets hope this get changed with the upcoming buff to Forceful Greatsword, Physical skills and zerk power.

But GS has great mobility , its problem is just with 100b in pvp

OT: I dont see any issue with GS in pve i feel its buffed a lot in the next patch , and PS will still a great group tool anyways

Wouldn’t a pure gs warrior be more stronger with the next patch

When is the game launching btw??

So i was off for 2 weeks cause i was playing another game, i logged in just now to find out the story being gated by 200 gems , felt little irritated but that’s not the problem

I exchanged gold to get the 200 gems and now i select “buy this story” then get an error saying cant connect to login servers but i am already in game playing , i made a ticket just now but wanted to make a thread here to see if i can get a faster solution .

Hi, i am running this game on a Dell Laptop with a Geforce 525M card and this issue has just recently occurred it was running fine but now i have this problem below

My game is running the the intel Gpu and not the Nvidia Gpu, these are the things i did to try to fix it
>Changed graphic setting to run game with Nvidia
>Downloaded latest drivers
>Enabled/Diasble The GPU
>BIOS not allowing me to diasble integrated card
>Used Nvidia Inspector tool and forced the setting to stay with Nvidia Gpu
>Changed the icon, added a -launch fix to it and ran its using the right click run on Nvidia processer

Nothing worked the game refuses to run on nvidia and sticks with intel

yeah srry about that edited for log report

I dont think this will ever happen good luck though

Hi, I had recently discovered i had overheating issues on my GPU which lead to frequent crashes so i decided to up the fan speed and under-clock it which helped a lot now since i dont crash anymore while playing GW2

However recently while playing a new mmo Wildstar which has way higher requirements than GW2 i left the GPU with default values and experienced no crash what so ever i did dungeons, i did raids and i went to overpopulated cities absolutely no crash, but the moment i started GW2 just as i got in the game poof everything froze and crashed

Is there some feature in GW2 which i have overlooked that is causing this crash? if so, can i disable it ?

Last season it took my warrior 80 odd tries to down Liadri. However this season my same warrior took 3 tries to beat her haha easy title run XD

This guy is seriously bored

i see ppl are bored and doing random challenges hahaha

This is very tuff question cause it really really depends on your group you are going with. Right now i will say no boss is hard for me but back in the day when i was totally new every boss was hard, i was’nt used to this active dodging and never even staxed soooo here you go

Back in the day we used to do these dungeons with green-yellow gear and no stack approach,at most we would have temple gear cause karma was falling like rocks back then. Now basically a full ascended zerk warrior can carry an entire group infact they can probably solo most dungeon paths in exo gear , along with many other capable classes

Today only i grouped for ac p1 with 3 up scales under 1 k ap with one of them confessing that it was their first time, 2 guardians who doesn’t know what might staxing is and one ele with no ice-bow let alone fgs but it didn’t matter me and the other ele were more than enuff to have a smooth no wipe run. I probably could have saved a few minutes with a near perfect group, but it was worth it since we not only taught 3 ppl how to do the dungeon but made new friends as well

Those ppl who make requests like gear-check, 7k ap etc. don’t want to help you, they want to carry anyone, they dont trust you at all, they just want a fast and easy run and if you dont meet the requirements dont join them you are wasting everyones time and with the insults and egos flying around your ruining everyone day for a 10 mins dungeon run.
