D/D ele is good, people are just favouring scepter ele because it destroys people with barely any telegraphed attacks.
So, just because you see Shnicky play fresh air ele in tournaments automatically means everyone is playing Fresh Air? O.o
No, i don’t watch the tournaments, I’d rather be playing the game than watching people play it.
My experience is from playing the game, not from watching streams.
There is way more dd eles than fresh air.
What i experience in games says otherwise.
Then you have some weird experience. Or can’t tell fresh air from dd.
My experience is pretty normal thanks. Oh, yes, because Scepter ele and D/D are so hard to differentiate between.
I’m also curious as to what these “upcoming nerfs” to ele’s are, and these buffs that you assume Thief and mesmers are getting.
If you’re talking about what we’ve seen with the new specilizations and the way traits are being handled in HoT, i’d hardly call them buffs when pretty much every class is being changed drastically.

OP, you forget. you cant call out Thief or Ele on the forums, they are the highest skill cap classes! /scarasm
This is what map chat actually believes. Yes any class can be skillful in the right hands but to neglect every other class, call everything easy or bad and proceed to play the strongest FTOM specs and claim to be skillful is another.
Once D/D ele is nerfed, people will rave about how hard and skillful the next FOTM spec is.
Do you even play the game? People are even dropping d/d ele because they realized it’s not that good and that’s before the upcoming nerf.

Wat.
Since when?
Wakittens
ince the patch that nerfed might, scepter ele’s have been popping up all over the place.

These need changing.
Specifically, the stability portion of these skills.
That is all.
I’m probably going to get chastised for this, but i think Necro is the worst designed & balanced class at the moment.
Not in the way everyone thinks either with them being ‘too weak’, i think the opposite.
I honestly think Necro’s are too strong and need a nerf.
The builds currently being used in Spvp by the majority are kitten easy to play. An incredibly lackluster player can pull off tremendous results just by pushing whatevers off cooldown.
They kitten out a ton of pressure for little effort while sitting on a health pool of about 40k+, if a non-brainless necro +1’s a fight, it’s pretty much won in the necro’s favour.
Here’s another thing with the guardian traps, as they provide beneficial effects.. what’s to stop there from being a trait that causes allies to be able to proc them?
“How terrible” You’re basing this off the idea that it’s a trap alone, you have no idea how the trap will function at all.
Area denial, placing the traps on top of the enemies, etc.
They probably won’t have an arming time, because the only class confirmed to have an arming time on their traps is the ranger, and it’s a pretty big thing to leave out if Guardians are going to be using traps.
The map picking system needs to be the map with the most votes is the one that’s chosen, if two have an even amount of votes, then it does the spiral twisty “random map pick” thing.
I don’t know why it wasn’t like this to begin with..
I like courtyard, the guild I’m in uses it as a tournament map for our monthly tournaments we host amongst guild members.
Yeah, sorry everyone, it’s late and i was writing out a reply, then edited it several times before i was happy with what i was trying to say.
Offensive sigils shouldn’t proc at the same time or work together if you ask me.
Doom & Geo is stupidly strong together.
As is fire and sigil, it’s just unavoidable burst.Correction: Doom is stupidly strong. Geomancy I can shrug off no problem. I love that Battle Sigil and Might boon got nerfed, but… Doom? Perma poison legit? I miss something?
I find geomancy insanely strong, If i remember correctly and I’m not thinking about a different sigil, i think an uncleansed doom and geo can deal upwards of 4k+ damage, just for a weapon swap.

But yeah, traits that have a proc effect shouldn’t crit, you shouldn’t be rewarded so much for getting a proc that will only land when you actually hit the enemy to begin with.
They should make it so if say.. Incendiary powder is now off cooldown, I’m about to shoot a thief, he dodges, Incendiary powder is now on it’s 10 second cooldown and it didn’t hit the thief.
Unavoidable damage and passive play builds just need to leave the game, you shouldn’t be rewarded for getting a proc that can’t be avoided.

You realize you’re supposed to use the chat to communicate with your team, right? You’re supposed to communicate enemy numbers and positions, and status of fights, etc. Even if you don’t type your teammates might and you need to be aware of it. In short: you are not supposed to ignore the chat.
If you actually played like a team player instead of some anti-social misanthrope you might actually improve your game play as well as the game experience.
It kills me how many people just straight up avoid using Chat and how many more think that using it is equivalent to rage or whining.
I communicate with players just fine thanks, i call out when and where the other team is heading, i ping on the map for an uncontested point or to signify that an enemy player is running there.
But when I’m playing hotjoin? I couldn’t give a kitten about winning, I want to enjoy the game and play for fun. I don’t want to see abuse thrown all over the place because some people can’t handle losing in a video game. The abuse i receive is from either killing someone or not stopping to revive someone being cleaved by 3+ players, I’m not kittened, I know the limits of my class, I’m not going to hand a free kill to the enemy team because some moron thinks I’ll be able to revive him against the DPS going against him, so stop getting off by assuming i have no idea how to play, sometimes i merely want to have a relaxed gaming session and play in Hotjoin servers and not have to deal with players who, correct me if I’m mistaken, have an attitude like yours.

Random per player is still dumb.
It needs removing altogether, just replace it with “win X number of games” instead of “win game as x class”.
I mean flat out disable it.
No text boxes, no chat window.
Sometimes i want to play PvP, but there are so many players nowadays running around with a head full of salt, it’s just cancerous.
Give me an option to disable chat on a toggle so i can go into PvP without worrying about being thrown abuse left right and center, i want to play a game, not deal with children or adults who needed better parenting in their life.
Yes, i could use the block function, but I’d rather have the ability to just prevent any abuse from being thrown to begin with.
No, it’s +1’ing. It’s a tactic. It’s a team game.
If they want 1vs1s, they should go join a dueling server.
A thief that is built for running away is a thief that has no chance in hell in killing you if you’re a competent player with a brain.
Just leave him be and move on.
No, i’d rather they just stick to emailing them out randomly.
It’s still random, except this time I wouldn’t be encouraged to waste my time grinding stale content.
Heroes were implemented into Guild wars 1 to help with the dwindling population, guild wars 2 has no such issue.
Oh really? Because heroes were introduced with Nightfall campaign which was the top of GW1 popularity. Why are you spreading misinformation?
Also why does
Why do you want to play an MMO but play on your own?
If you want to play with a party of characters you set up yourself, go play a Bioware game.Why do you care how I play any game? Heroes were always a choice. Those who want to play with people can play with people and those who in some cases prefer using heroes those could play with heroes. In GW1.
Expanding options is always better than stale set of rules.
I would welcome heroes in GW2 but I don’t really believe we will see them.
P.S. plz answer why you are spreading misinformation about heroes in GW1 as I quoted before but you kindly ignored my question.
OK, i’ll respond to your comment which claims nightfall was at the top of guild wars 1 popularity.
All i need to say is this, can you provide evidence that backs up YOUR claims of it being “the top of gw1 popularity”?
In response to you asking why i care about how you play the game, i don’t, couldn’t give a kitten how you play, what i do care about is you wanting to add in meaningless content that would only bring the game down, content will become easier to accomodate those who “want to play by themselves with their heroes” as a result making the game noticeably easier, as it did with Guild wars 1.
As i said, if you want to play by yourself, play another game. You don’t need heroes in guild wars 2, it was bad enough in GW1.
This thread was made with the sole purpose of the OP thinking that finding a group in GW2 is “impossible”, i quote:
Right now in GW2 PVE finding a group to adventure with is nearly impossible
It’s not? It’s insanely easy to get a group for anything you want to do.
He claims that because he has yet to receive a good group, that must mean the lfg is impossible to use.
Here’s how it works, okay? I’ll educate you somewhat.
GW2 uses a different framework to GW1.
To code in what you would call henchmen would require more time and effort than it’s worth, it would also take up valuable development time that can actually introduce new content that can be played by everyone, not just those who want to treat an MMO like a single player game.
If you want henchmen and heroes, go play GW1 or a bioware game, because as you said yourself, you won’t be seeing them any time soon, if ever.
(edited by JoshuaRAWR.4653)
No? Why should you be rewarded for something you’ve already paid for, you knew what you were paying, you knew what you were getting, you still paid for it, it doesn’t need anything else tacked on 3 years down the line. Has that ever happened before? No, because it’s stupid.
I bought a lesser edition of the game, but i’ve played it just as long as you and could’ve potentially spent more in the gem store than you, that doesn’t mean I’m entitled to a beta invite.
Also to Schumi, for “true fans and supporters” who says people that didn’t buy it aren’t true supporters? Not everyone is financially able to spend £150 on a game.

If you don’t want to play with other players for certain content, then either learn to solo it or accept that you will not be able to do it on your own. It’s an MMO, you’re encouraged to play with other people.
No, this isn’t a problem with my internet, there is no change in my net speed for anything other than GW2.
Speed tests on multiple sites all come back with my net acting normal like always.
When i download via steam i get the same download speeds i normally do.
The only thing affected is guild wars 2, and it becomes unplayable for anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes, my ping just rapidly increases to around 200 then constantly fluctuates between that and 2000+.
Would also make the shield go from pure garbage to too strong.
Shield just flat out needs a change, the only good skill on it is #5 in PvP and WvW to an extent if you’re camping on a ledge, but that’s it.. even taking that into consideration, there are far better alternatives.
It’s quite silly that the shield, a defensive weapon, is out classed defensively by a focus.

Losing a place? No. You haven’t got one to begin with.
Let’s see what your greatsword and spec will bring first before the complaints start please.
Shake it off!
Condi burst ruined.
G2A buy their stock from re-sellers who sell keys to them for an insanely cheap price, thus allowing them to sell them back off for relatively cheap too.
However.. Most the keys G2A sell are obtained via illegitimate means, stolen credit cards being the big one.
Recently there was a huge problem with CD Key reselling sites (G2A being at the top) with CD Keys being sold for Farcry 4 that were obtained fraudulently.
http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/01/28/ubisoft-key-resellers-stolen-cards/
I owned one of those far cry 4 cd keys, and upon my key being reinstated, i made a promise to myself that i would never buy anything from G2A again, because I’ve had nothing but trouble from them.
Tell your friend to buy GW2 legitimately either in an actual retailer (if you can still pick up GW2 There) or online on the actual gw2 store. He isn’t getting his account back.
pads out the game.
Mawdrey isn’t a legendary and does not have changeable stats.
Anyone else got an issue in-game where your ping just fluctuates consistently? I’ve been fine all day, no problems with my net, decided to do some dungeons and my latency is all over the place.
My ping is repeatedly hopping between 50 and 1000 and it’s making playing the game virtually impossible.
I did a speedtest on multiple sites, no problems at all, steady download and upload like i normally get, steam downloads just fine, nothing is out of the ordinary except for guild wars 2.

I have a feeling it’s meant to be the other way around.
7% healing power based on your ferocity.
You just need 150% MF or more. Silverwastes awards 200% right from the get go, and considering 150% or more MF is equivalent to 1 common rare material in every 20 kills (my personal testing in orr) and a rare weapon 1 in every 100-200 kills, you can really get one of these pretty fast.
You don’t know that at all.
You don’t know what the drop-rate on these portal stones will be at all.

It should not be a consideration as everyone can have their easy and cheap precursor/legendary weapon in HOT.
Ok first.
“easy and cheap” you know this how?
You don’t know what any of the precursor collections will entail, we don’t know how long they’ll take, if they’ll require crafting, if they’ll require gold, if they’ll require us to buy things with any new forms of currency.
So don’t go saying they’re easy and cheap when the only thing you know about precursors is that you’ll be able to earn them via a collection.
If you want ascended weapons and armor, work for it, craft it like the rest of us.
Don’t want to work for them? Then you don’t need them.

Hero points are gained by leveling from 1-80 and doing skill challenges. They are a limited resource and only used to unlock traits/skills. You’ll receive 400 points just from leveling to 80 and you’ll need another 65 points to be able to unlock all traits/skills, excluding the new elite specialization.
Skill points will be converted to a new currency and stored in the wallet. If you have 100 skill points pre-patch, they’ll be converted to 100 mystic stars (currently unnamed) post-patch. All mystic forge items that currently require skill points will use mystic stars instead. Basically, skills points are simply being renamed.
Skill point scrolls will basically stay as they are, but instead of giving you a skill point, they’ll give you a mystic star.
Thank you very much Healix, that’s what i was after, appreciate it.

Just curious, for those of you who have seen the 4 hour+ long stream, i haven’t got the time to sift through it to see if the information I require is in there somewhere.
Do we know what will happen to skill point scrolls? Will they grant hero points on a scale of 1:1? Or are they doing something different entirely? What’s happening to the skill points we’ve currently amassed on our characters?
And that is just another point:
Everyone got information about the required merge long before the deadline. The fact that people don’t care enough to spend those two minutes required to secure their accounts isn’t really ArenaNets issue.
Wrong, i never received an email about the merge, many people didn’t. I have over 15000 emails in my inbox, i never delete anything. A simple search of “Guild” comes up with nothing relating to a guild wars 1 merge occuring which will need my account to be updated, and my emails from guild wars go all the way back to 2010.
I keep wondering why people simply can’t make sure to know their passwords.
I have never required any sort of assistance in re-aquiring a password for any single thing, despite having used the internet, many different games and a rather large number of different passwords over the last 15 years.If people could just be a bit more responsible for their own access the amount of tickets (and thus also the response time) would be much lower. When I worked in support, about 99% of the calls were about having lost a password, and I would assume it is the same here.
Thanks for mentioning me above, it seems even in threads that have nothing to do with me, you still find a way to bring me up.
In response to your comment about people needing to take better care of their passwords, that’s not the case.
I knew my log in details for GW1, as it turns out, even though what i was inputting was correct, my account was unable to be logged in due to it not being merged to the new system in which you log in with your email address and not the old user@ncsoft.
So you saying we need to take better care of our passwords is null and void, if you missed the merger, you simply cannot log in with your old user account details until you contact Customer support and get them to merge your accounts together or change your log in details.
I could log into my GW1 account on the GW2 account management page, i was introduced with a string of numbers as a username, a “linked to nothing” account, and a password and linked email address i could not change.
After 85 days, my support ticket has been answered and my question has been resolved, i now have access to my guild wars 1 account and it has been linked to my Guild wars 2 account.
I’m assuming that either this thread or my post on the guild wars 2 facebook page bought it to attention, so thank you to GM Rathmael who sorted this issue out for me.
I don’t want the HoM rewards. I want to play Guild wars 1.
For a response to my ticket in regards to my guild wars 1 account.
My account never got merged, i missed the deadline. Because of that, I’m now forced to wait upwards of 80+ days (It’ll probably reach 100+, wouldn’t put it past Anet to allow my ticket to get to the age of 150 days).
I don’t agree that because the game is in so called “maintenance mode” that the support response times for said game should be this kitten poor.
I’ve played older and less managed MMO’s & games that have not had support THIS bad, this is without a doubt the WORST support i’ve ever experienced with anything, even things not relating to games.
I have never had to send out a request for anything and then have to wait nearly 3 months for a response.
All i want is my Guild wars 1 account details and for the account to be linked to my guild wars 2 one because (surprise surprise) the function to do so on the guild wars 2 website is faulty and does NOT work.
I paid for Guild wars 1, i am now unable to access something i paid for, and it’s justified that i cannot access something I’ve paid for because it’s now in “maintenance mode”? No. doesn’t work like that. Either give me my account details or refund the money and then some for the time lost on the account as well as the insult for taking so bloody long to reply.
Here are my ticket details if for some strange reason someone at Anet decides to answer my ticket.
1179588:Lost account details
Edit: I branced out to the guild wars 2 facebook page, posting a request for my ticket to be looked at there due to getting no answers or progress here.
The result? Post was deleted, where-as other posts of people requesting the exact same thing for their tickets barely a week old? Completely fine, let’s keep those there.
Up until now i have been patient and i have been civil, but now i’m seriously getting kittened off.

They should be giving us the information how they gave it to us when they were announcing/releasing/amping up feature packs.

Yeah, i made a seperate ticket listed under GW2 as well, and that hasn’t received a reply for 2 months, it’s just getting on my nerves now and frankly, starting to kitten me off.
That was posted a month ago and I’ve still received no reply.
It’s in regards to my lost gw1 account details and wanting to get it linked to my gw2 account.
The salient points are:
- The GW2 team will help with GW1 tickets if your accounts are linked.
(or seeking a link)
Remove then? No.
Make them affected by magic find? Yes.
Just make a new character if it’s that big of a problem for you, or just buy the gems with RL money.
Never gamble with keys.
I’ve been playing since the 3 day headstart, from BLC’s I’ve received a total of 2 total makeover kits.
You must be a feminist OP.
Would still like an answer from an official source.
Not too long ago, it was mentioned that soon guild wars 1 tickets would be handled with the GW2 ones.
How soon until this will actually be happening? I’ve been waiting 69 days so far for a response to my ticket and would like to know how much longer i can be expected to wait.
Have fun waiting, I’ve been waiting 69 days so far for a response to my ticket.
