Guild Wars 2

Heraldusluminare.2946:

Maybe it should just convert into a tight bun when wearing a helmet.

exactly! that’s what most mmo’s do

…when wearing any helmet, ever? whether it’s bald from the front, or bald in the back, or completely bald (e.g. when wearing a top hat) human female becomes bald whenever wearing a helm or a hat of any sort.

I’d understand giving them a default haircut of some sort (as many mmo’s do) but making them completely bare seems like an odd choice.

…when wearing most helms? it’s most obvious when wearing a top hat. kind of odd for a game whose end game is based on aesthetics

it’s like something out of a horror movie…

hey nuithari thanks for sharing. having a lot of fun with it atm. personally i feel that it’s a bit too squishy without armor of earth / cleansing fire so i’m running it with focus , with relative success. traveler rune + zephyr’s boon do very good job in making up for the focus’s lack of mobility. thanks again for sharing.

It’s been on the forums since weeks now.

if it’s been on it for weeks, why are players not notified of this bug? :O

well i’m certainly not happy about hours upon hours having been completely wasted.

Is this an unknown issue…?

Hello. I’ve noticed that I haven’t received a single guild commendation for any of the guild missions i’ve done so far. I have received karma, gold and that gold medal thing on the top r ight of the screen and everything, but haven’t received any commendations. could you please look into this ? Thank you

during arena matches.. what’s going on with the servers?

Until Anet implements a way for me to save builds and switch at the click of a button I shouldn’t have to change builds just for one specific map. It’s a pain in the kitten going back and forth all the time.

or rather, switch clsases. elementalists are completely worthless on this map

Not sure what you’re trying to say with that.

it means us ele players have a lot to complain aboout

Locuz.2651:

Jae.5138:

uhh yeah? we don’t have nade spam and push every 2 seconds. learn your class

Skyhammer engis dont play with nades sorry :P.

uhh…yes they do?

entropy.9613:

Jae.5138:

Yeah. It’s up to the players to all learn to play engi because one class dominates on a map, not the devs’ jobs to balance the map so that people can play all classes, right?

Jae.5138:

push build engi’s are already ridiculously overpowered in 1v1 situations but in sky hammer it’s just game ruining

Things Warriors Say.

uhh yeah? we don’t have nade spam and push every 2 seconds. learn your class

sorrychief.2563:

honestly SW should just reflect projectiles like the NPCs use on Legacy of the Foefire.

from a coding standpoint that shouldn’t be hard considering it’s already in the game but only used by NPCs and balance wise it would make offhand focus even stronger in pve/wvw.

i think that might be considered a bit op since it’s an AOE. Earth 4 reflects projectiles already so rangers would probably complain.

i honestly think that some of the devs’ ego will ruin this game

push build engi’s are already ridiculously overpowered in 1v1 situations but in sky hammer it’s just game ruining

Darko.5873:

Heh, I’m the one that knocked you off the edge there.
And I’m pretty sure Wunzy only play engie on skyham. That’s called adapting.

Yeah. It’s up to the players to all learn to play engi because one class dominates on a map, not the devs’ jobs to balance the map so that people can play all classes, right?

musu.9205:

necro want stability and now this
let every class have 0 weakness
we don’t need war 2.0 any time soon.

are you really comparing swiftness on one skill (the class that has no access to swiftness with that weapon set) to a hambow warrior? go troll somewhere else

Cries Of Sorrow.5864:

Thank you arena net. Love this map.

Anyone else agree? Focus is a bit lack luster right now due to zero mobility. This would make the weapon a little more viable in both sPVP and WvW. Just a personal opinion…

(FYI Swirling Winds = focus air 4)

Could we have Swirling Winds give swiftness please? Focus is an excellent weapon but falls short way too much in mobility.

oh man… there’s a few VERY good elem builds out there right now but this doesn’t quite reach their level. here’s one for dag/focus (created by cryo)

this is ONLY for high damage. it’s good for dueling and such but not ideal in big team fights.

This bug is game ruining as in arena, where every second matters, you’re stuck in the wall for a solid ~40 seconds (if you can even get out, that is)

Dssi.7563:

I wouldn’t say they are in a terrible place but I wouldn’t say they are in a great place either. It takes a very specific play style that is a lot of fun for me personally. But in pvp spirit ranger is always strong. If you don’t want to play that boring build then you get to be creative and try some new things. Personally I enjoy 6 6 0 2 0 or 6 0 6 2 0. When I say that though I automatically put myself into peoples “scrub” category. But I run it, I enjoy it, it does a lot of damage, and I have a lot of success.

thanks for the reply!

Disclaimer : I do not play a ranger…. yet.

But from what I see in tPVP + sPVP, rangers aren’t doing so good. Their damage seems very lackluster and doesn’t seem to make up for their survivability. This is a concern for me (ele/warrior player) because I really want to make a ranger for the sake of getting into PVP.

Could anyone else comment on this and tell me if I’m wrong/right?

fresh air is pretty good for dmg still but garbage in team fights. other popular builds are 4/0/0/4/6 or u could even do 2/0/0/6/6

they are. you’re just bad.

i dont even mind spirit watch that much but in sky hammer when you wait 15 seconds just to get knocked off by an engi or a mesmer (don’t evne give me that ‘get stability’ bull kitten. only mentally challenged engis die through a 40-75 second cooldown stability buff(

Not. Take this garbage out of sPVP, thank you.

same here. i can’t even start my client again

presale was huge for NA too. but with ANet’s content release speed, retaining that 500k is highly unlikely

You mean releasing stuff faster than more or less every other MMO in the world?

i don’t know what other mmo’s you have played but guild wars 2 has had no new permanent release since launch

presale was huge for NA too. but with ANet’s content release speed, retaining that 500k is highly unlikely

Would you buy a guild wars 2 expansion for 20 bucks, if all it contained was a swimsuit wardrobe for your character?

i thought that when u salvage an item the skin is unlocked?

personally, i don’t really care much for the damage but the fact that it’s a projectile is what bothers me

you could try a different weapon set altogether. d/d and s/d are also very much viable

pupi.2465:

just tested, yet, GS/LB fits better to my playstyle, the lack of mobility is too gamebreaker to me, whirlwind evade is kinda strategic, helps a lot, and LB aoe save my kitten 50% of the time. Really sad… lol

u can go bull charge + Berserker stance + balanced stance. bull charge along with GS’s other skills synergize with mobile strikes if you go into discipline traitline. you can do bull charge + 100 b or longbow 5 + 100 b

pupi.2465:

what about Axe-SH /LB ? Would that be viable for duels?

i don’t see why not. you might struggle a little more against mesmer/petting zoo necro, since you don’t have that crazy aoe from sword but what’s nice is the shield and the safer F1 for cleansing ire

pupi.2465:

I just can’t decide if i stick with GS/Axe-Shield or GS/LB, axe is really beautiful with all the pressure, but LB shines when u gotta get the aoe to deal with Eng’s Turrets, Clones or Thieves Guild.

LB/GS is pretty good in duels still. I personally know many duellers and have used that combo for duels and did very well against even the trickier foes like thief/mesmers.

it’d be better than GS/axe for sure in team fights but again, GS/LB is still weak in comparison to hambow in team fights. sad, because i do love GS as a weapon, but it’s the truth.

GS + axe/shield is still very much viable in duels, but very crappy in team fights.

some absurd stuff people are saying here.

saying that GS is not reliable for damage is like saying that mace stun isn’t reliable, sword isn’t reliable, and axe aren’t reliable. GS still remains one of the best weapons in a duel.

the main problem (emphasis on main ) with any axe/ GS build is that it’ll do well in duels, but almost completely useless in a team fight setting. you bring nothing to the table. you deal damage, sure, but you lack the CC or survivability to put a hard pressure on the enemy that other weapon sets can provide. Hambow is still the best at maintaining this pressure (stun works defensively too).

If you absolutely want to use GS, I’d suggest the GS/Longbow combo but again, you’ll find that it’s not the best build currently available in teamfights.

you know anet will just remove this thread because ‘another topic’ exists somewhere in the topic. they don’t want you to create a thread they don’t like that has existed some time in the past.

There’s no reason for stupidly gimmicky map like this in tPVP. Why do game devs think that they know better than the majority of the playerbase who also hate the map? Or are they just being stubborn because they don’t want to imagine that those hours that went into making this map weren’t wasted?

to add to what was written above, remember that melee burst skills need to HIT someone for the thing to proc, unlike, say, longbow’s F1 which u can target anywhere

im not in a guild so sounds like joining one is the first step

I want to start doing some arranged arenas but it seems no one really uses the ‘looking for team’ forum. any advice on how to get myself a decent team?

i play maybe 10-20 hours a week, 2-3 hours at a time. can i still apply?

cleansing ire, berserker stance, lots of aoe + vigor

here you go. solid build even if u go with LB. i personally use LB with this build. It’s proven to be solid in duels and for roaming, not as much as hambow in teamfights, obviously.
