Guild Wars 2

Laraley.7695:

I might see why enigs would be quite strong on this map but I honestly think it’s too early to say. And I definitely don’t agree with rangers being overpowered there, you can LOS so much their range means basically nothing.

if your goal was to survival, that’s very true. but yeah i agree that i exaggerated by saying they’re very overpowered, just quite strong.

@Extreme – I have played it. Several times, actually. These are obviously just speculations from what I had seen so far.

@SimpleKingly – It wasn’t because the thieves/engis were super good. It’s simply because there’s WAY too many corners, ledges, etc. that makes infiltrator strike ridiculously strong. Also the fact that supply cap/boss cap can only be prevented by CC makes those with ridiculous CC’s and staying power – i.e. engis – very strong.

@jonnis – I agree that cc’s are really strong. One thing I noted was that as for the melee, there’s simply no room for one unless the melee has lots of staying power (e.g. guardian) or stealth. There’s also hardly any room for classes with low mobility (e.g. elementalist and necro).

i’d like to add that it seems necro sucks way harder than eles haha

as the title says. because the new map gives so much power to thieves (especially s/d, with all the ledges and line of sights) and rangers, ele has gotten that much weaker.

any ideas on what may become ele meta in the future for stronghold?

classes like engis (didn’t see that coming) s/d thieves are way too op, while builds like power ranger were made even stronger (crazy mobility with an even more open shooting area)

that’s… hard! thank you

As the title says. Is there a way? Thanks guys.

OneYenShort.3189:

answer: clipping.

As hair is modeled here not to be individual strands that can be controlled, and they did not create a new “skin” for each hat/helmet with all the variations of hair, the hair would stick right out of the helmet and look utterly uggly.

So they went the less expensive route of removing hair and putting the helmet on that way so it would not have clipping issues.

Because they didn’t do a double mesh at the start as a previous poster suggested as done in other games, the rework effort most likely was deemed not cost effective to implement.

how bizarre because literally every MMO (not exaggerating. every. MMO.) that I’ve played before did not have this issue where a character is turned bald for the sake of minimizing clipping.

Why oh why do hats/helmets make your characters lose all his/her hair?

This was always so weird to me whenever I play a female game and so many helmets have the back of their heads exposed, letting you see a completely exposed baldness.

Or when they’re wearing a top hat, for example.

balance is kind of a joke right now in that bunker builds are heavily favoured, leading to very boring games

ArtemisJade.9068:

Do you have video of this Jae? Could you get some for us to see?

i dont but last time i tried to put up screen shots here i got a warning because i was apparently encouraging exploits by exposing the hacker.

There was the all-popular speed hackers and now I’m starting to see perma-invisible, untargetable opponents in pvp. And no – it’s not lagging, it was the same for my entire team. But instead of the number of hackers decreasing, I see them more and more throughout.

What’s going on? And why’s there no option to report for blatant hacking under the ‘report player’ option?

tichorum.2415:

You can still do up to 10v10 in custom arenas.

you’re right, you can. that is, there is the technology for it. but the concern is that the game was DESIGNED with the intention of having it played by 10 people, 5 on each team.

lordkrall.7241:

It is a new game mode.

it certainly is – and i’m sure that it’ll be very fun to learn and play as well. but it still came off as a disappointment to many people, who were expecting a new feature that truly lives up to the game name ‘guild wars.’ i guess the disappointment is bigger because they came so close to what everyone had been asking for, then fell short.

Dahkeus.8243:

I can’t help but wonder what type of person would really want to a thread with such a rude subject. You do know that it’s actual human beings with real thoughts and emotions that designed those skins, right?

Again, this ALL SUBJECTIVE AND OPINION. I paid for this game just like you did and i can state my opinion.

Id question what type of individual you are but i already know, you are all that is wrong with america, please take your sensitive liberal comments somewhere else, thanks.

saying that it’s all ‘subjective and opinion’ then resorting to ad hominem yourself. classic. but while we’re on this thread, i, too, am not too fond of the character art work in this game – that includes both the armor pieces and the character designs (males look like sausage boys). but the environment? hot kitten . well done, anet.

while that does sound handy dandy, I’d imagine some people would do this by accident on some items they wouldn’t want to do this on and blame arenanet for their ‘poor design’

im so jealous of people who are good at thief

Are you seriously hijacking threads to advertise your videos? wow.

Eurantien.4632:

My guild fights other guilds in sPvP. Why can’t yours? Best part is, if my guild isn’t online I can still participate by myself! I enjoy GvG even if it is conquest or GvPug.

These must be organized outside of the current pvp system, much like dueling. With absolutely no reward (unless you’re going to tell me that you place bets and that counts as ‘rewards’) and no infrastructure for it in game, that’s hardly a GvG but rather an awkward, self-organized pvp event.

To me, that sort of an argument is as weak as saying ‘why bother adding more story to the game, you can roleplay and make your own story as you go.’

So agreed. Why isn’t this added yet

I had several friends who were so excited and wanted to return to the game when they heard that a GvG inspired PVP mode is coming. Their reaction after finding out that it’s a 5v5? Hell no.

So much could have been done with this game mode. The scale, bigger. Not WvW big, obviously, but enough to cater to 10 players (and DESIGNED for 10 players. none of that ‘well you technically can, in custom games.’)

Zerging with pixel bombs an issue? Punish players for zerging. Do you see 5 players always in a single lane in MOBA’s?

People’s complaints since the BETA of the game was that the game’s called Guild Wars get there hardly is any activities to do with the guild itself. Guild hall? Oh good. Now you can enjoy that comradery by afk sitting in a room together.

This was a huge disappointment and certainly a turn off for many people who were ready to drop cash on the expansion.

Mounts are needed. Its almost ridiculous the hoops people have to jump through just to have swidtness up when in wvw. If you miss a swiftness u can fall behind. How silly is it that every few seconds youre putting swiftness on yourself n others just to get around? Just add mounts that gives the person swiftness and get rid of the current tedious swiftness reapplication

I want this so bad. Can we get one where our ranks determine the points we get (bottom half % gets 0.3 of what top gets) weekly that we can buy new skins with?

Cool vid! Watched the whole thing. Only feedback would be to maybe enable quick cast and bind the utility skills close enuf that u dont have to click.

No idea who you are or what you did differently from what 80% of the community already – whine but i see you taking ownership for your reactions and that i can get behind. I wish a lot more people would do this

Tbh he feels too strong on the other team but too weak on my team lol. I think its fine though. If you let that many players sneak to youe base your team isnt coordinated enough and didnt deserve to win. Also can guardian healing elite heal it to full still? Cuz that was hilarious

To add my bit theres also a chance that you start with any class then theres a quest line to maybe convert to becone a revenant. Storywize they can just say you died then was reborn…

I dunno what you guys are complaining about. Ascended drops so much from pvp bags. Granted Im not a pve player so maybe it only feels to me like they drop often cuz ive no use for them but stil i dont think its that bad for best gear in game. To the guy who made the comparison to d3, stop embarrassing the community. Its not like ascended gears have RNG power and such. (can you imagine if berserker piece for example randomly gave 100-200 power 100-200 ferocity etc? Shudder)

Not sure if youre even on this thread any more op. But yesterday some guy killed me and spammed /laugh emote. On map chat in game i called him out and said that its sad to see that the pvp community has gotten so toxic. Immediately 3 people whispered to apologize for the guys behaviour and offered to play a few healthy games with me afterwards. Good people are still there but the mature ones are also usually the quiet ones.

You cant be serious. If you really want this idea implemented i hope youre some sort of a multi millionaire whos gonna fund anet to do this

examples:

1. when the target player suddenly changes direction in movement, pet just blanks out for a few seconds (then struggles to catch up)

2. whenever you jump down (not even big cliffs but even small stairs) the pet takes the long way around

3. all pet spells that are ‘cast in a cone’ or spells like lightning bolt from drake: please make the pet turn to follow the target

The one buff we need, really.

apparently i’m the only one who reads questions around here. he’s asking for a class that is CONSISTENTLY asked to join groups, in which case bunker guardian would be the only one who’s consistently asked to join groups.

An Error Prevented Saving:

Message Body length must at least be 15.

Eiland.1405:

I think many ppl don’t realize how good ‘Brawlers recovery’ gonna be.

Beside being one of the best condi clears in game it will open up many new builds for warrior – most importantly it will free us from longbow.

Why Brawlers recovery >= Cleansing Ire
For ci we are talking about builds with LG of course.
Sustained cleansing
– Br is evey 5 sec. Noth said
– ci can be every 5sec if u land both burst all the time, and u have enough adrenalie, So in practice its much less. It can be a 2 clears every 10sec from just lg, but still need 2 bars…
Burst cleanse
– br can be 2 clear in 6 sec, if u swap right after being hit and then 5 sec later.
– ci in theroy is 3 clears from lg on full bar then swap and cleanse one more. All this takes about 4 sec. So 4 clear in 4 sec but…
1.U must land the 2nd burst – very unlkiy if any of the condi left on u are soft cc. And not gartnty anyhow
2.U must have 3 aderline bars – for me that’s rarely happns. It means u were saving up just for cleansing so u were gimpicking on ur dmg.
3.U must waste that aderline. Mayb u r not fighting on point and wanted that huge fire field somewhere else
4.U might get interpreted. Casting combustive shot takes times so if its very liky that the ones condi bursting planing to interupt as well

Get the point?

Hambow build will still be strong, coz its fit so well on conquest but we now have some other great options w/o sacrefing anything (as 4 in arms was mendatory anyhow)

i usually wouldn’t even respond to posts like this but your post is so full of fallacious thinking that i had to point some of them out.

‘br is every 5 sec, nuff said’
actually – you don’t always swap weapon whenever it’s up, just like you don’t use your adrenaline skills whenever they’re up.

’ – br can be 2 clear in 6 sec, if u swap right after being hit and then 5 sec later.’

with that sort of logic, cleansing ire can remove 6 condis in 6 seconds, since you can just fill up the adrenaline to full very easily within 5 seconds with burst mastery.

’ 1.U must land the 2nd burst – very unlkiy if any of the condi left on u are soft cc. And not gartnty anyhow’

this i will give to you. CI is not always reliable.

‘2.U must have 3 aderline bars’ no, you do not have to.

‘3.U must waste that aderline. ’ how are you ’wasting’ an adrenaline if you’re using the skill to do damage, while removing the condition?

‘4.U might get interpreted.’ i’m guessing you mean interrupted but that’s hardly ever an issue and if you do get interrupted, your condi removal is only delayed by a couple of seconds (you can even swap weapons for the other burst)

’I just played some solo tPvP.

stopped reading there.

bunker guard, period. every team needs one but not many people wanna play one.

With the upcoming nerfs to how the adrenaline works with cleansing ire (if it misses, consumes adrenaline. cleansing ire not proccing when missing remains the same) it’s kind of obvious that the players would be even more reluctant to move away from the all-too-common X/X+ longbow builds that are rampant right now.

cleansing ire remains the only reliably constant condition removal (without going deep into shout builds) without fully preventing them (berserker stance) or removing all of them (signet of stamina)

nerfing adrenaline/cleansing ire combo like that makes it even more imperative that warriors pick up long bow for reliable condition removal off of cleansing ire.

I personally think that anet should move away from the current long bow meta but with this patch, it’s going to be really set in stone.

Thank you for the kind answers!

Hi there.

I belong to a large guild with 99% Koreans (there’s only one non korean in the guild) where many members don’t speak English. Is there a way to access the text files used for the game, by any chance? If so, I’d love to change them to korean and have the file available for the members. Or would it not be this simple?

Thank you very much in advance. Have an amazing day.

dominik.9721:

Year because 90% of all cases you get safestomped and there it is very important you have 50% less hp in downstate
:3

heh try watching high level games

I personally don’t roleplay but i love those ideas. they sound like they’d add colour to this game.

SaintSnow.6593:

So let me get this straight.. It’s an elite that that only works when your foe is at 15% health and if you down them then it has a shorter cd and reduces their downstate hp? I can do this just fine with intelligence sigil and doom sigil poison reduces their revive amount. No offense but this is useless and to be honest the elite has to be on par or better than the current signet of salt. The banner at least brings it’s own feature by reviving people. Oh and the fact that is clearly is a pvp only elite. Elites need to be possibly useful anywhere.

having half hp when downed is huge at high level pvp. i guess you wouldn’t know until you get there

Killing Blow – Physical skill, cooldown 40 seconds.

Usable in melee range, if the target is below 15% health. Deals X damage.

If foe is downed by this ability, Killing Blow cooldown is reduced by 20 seconds, and the foe’s downed health is reduced by 50%.

we try to close gap for greatsword but sadly, ele’s have very weak gap closers (lightning flash long cd, dagger earth 3 projectile+slow, fire 3 don’t get me started)

I sign up for gambits, ask to enter, and as soon as i see the immobilization animation on my character (as it goes every round) i get kicked outa the arena, with all my gambits (and obviously the tickets) gone. Anyone else having this issue?

when my ele gets hit by thief when standing still, it gets frozen, can’t move (But can use skills), get unfrozen from movement ksills

Windu The Forbidden One.6045:

afaik, everyone looks bald with headgear.

seems kinda bizarre to me that anet was a bit lazy in that regard, considering the late game revolves around aesthetics in this game

jokke.6239:

see .. also a Norn problem xD

oh GOD what is that :O
