Guild Wars 2

This mad me laugh. Then I got sad because its kittening true. kitten you anet. kitten you.

Dont bother, just reroll a guardian/mes, or warrior, because playing anything else is pointless.

It’s quite evident by now, that the anet balance team has no idea what they are doing, and lack creativity.

They stated they wanted to add survivability, which could of been done through the blood magic tree. Increasing siphons dmg/healing, adding boons, or even group siphons

But nothing was done, again.

Too bad it still links to gw2skill.net, which is down.

I like how a guy posted a video of some gameplay and everyone is a kittening critic all of a sudden.

I enjoyed it op.

Or this:

Roll Guardian

Utterly Underwhelming

I think i gave myself a concussion by facepalming so hard over the OP and his comments.

Power necro all the way.

6/3/0/5/0 is what I run. Triple wells. Dagger/focus, flashing DS when up.

You are basically a god with the siphons from crits, hits, and dagger 2.

No one is questioning there survivability. They’re explaining the selfish nature of the class. Without any group support all we bring is dps and others do it better. I just hope they fix it soon.

Im didnt share my spec because its not-selfish. Frankly, this game is so casual that it doesn’t matter what you bring.

How about Ill make my group any way I see fit, and if you don’t like it, make your own?

Power necro all the way.

For making a good story this patch and for making an in-game skin instead of just slapping it in the gem store.

In-game goals are what this game needs (albeit maybe a wee bit less grindy).

Again, thank you. For the first time in a long time I enjoyed the patch content.

^that’s right, if you main a necro and insist in playing it in dungeons and bring everyone misery whilst running with you then do not come anywhere near this guild, because not only will we crap all over your necro and humiliate you we will make an example of you just as we made an example of the legendary Clerics Ranger

bump

Funny, seeing as I don’t even have a Necro, my mains are Warrior and Mesmer. But your response proves my point, thank you.

Avoid this guild

This is the friend of the necromancer that we kicked ^.^

You mean me? Way to lie about it, I left.

Oh I watched you in the DnT tourney. Even one of your members rage quit on you.

Maybe stop blaming others for your inadequacies.

How to improve the ranger?

• Give the pets more evades or immunity to the ridiculous AOE and cleave in this game, single target damage only (in pve).

• Allow dodging during sword #1 animations.

• Buff unused pets, such as boar and bird.

• Take swiftness off bird dmg rotation and make it an attack.

• Make traps instant cast

• Make pets naturally faster, so they can hit moving targets and not have a net dps loss.

Leviathan.7459:

Doesn’t make much sense to me.

Because a bow is more druidic (which anet says rangers lean towards) than a rifle or pistol.

Crossbows however are a different beast.

Ruby orbs pull ahead of scholar runes if you are <90%. but around 3% more dps otherwise. While ruby orbs are not the biggest issue, it certainly can make a wee bit o’ difference.

The problem with DnT videos, is when they show you dmg numbers, its always with every buff imaginable and unrealistic settings.

In most groups you aren’t going to have 25 stacks of vuln, 25 stacks of might, frost spirit, disc banner, str banner, etc.

Why do you have 3 points in Death magic?

BobbyStein.2315:

Mister Midnight.9837:

Why does the game have to be open world at the expense of the PC? That’s a complete cop-out.

Actually, it’s the reality of game development. You have limited budget and time to work with, so scope must be adjusted to fit. Features must be prioritized, and sometimes that means cutting content or systems.

http://www.ambysoft.com/artwork/ironTriangle.jpg

So you’ve not added in-game PVE rewards and PVE dungeon content for more gem store outfits? This is why you don’t get my money anymore. Everything worth a kitten you have to throw money at anet for, and most of that is RNG so you throw even more money at them. It’s a great business plan, but it makes people hate you, and your company.

Continue on your current path, and your ship will sink.

I hope so, because DE 2.0 is as lame as dried up peanut butter.

Thobek.1730:

it just breaks the tension of the game, we are hunting down a deadly murderer and these two are just going on about how much they love each other. Anet sure know how to turn two potentially interesting characters into two obnoxious characters.

Except what you are saying simply isn’t true.

If you look at the dialogue from Cornered, the story instance where we are chasing the murderer you will see not a single piece of their dialogue is directed towards each other. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Cornered#Dialogues

And from the other story instances we are looking at one brief conversation in Fallen Hopes which amounts to Marjory saying “I’m okay now so no need to worry about me” and a couple of lines of dialogue in the first instance where Kasmeer is being overly protective and offering to take Marjory’s watch. The word Love isn’t mentioned once that I can recall.

This is why a lot of people criticizing the Marjory/Kasmeer relationship are called homophobic because they rely on blatant misrepresentations of the storyline to prove their points, which is usually the tactics of those with ulterior motives.

Kasmeer “Listen. I’m sorry about how I’ve been acting. I just can’t stand the thought of you getting hurt again. That scared the fluff out of me.”
Marjory “I know, honey. I’ve felt the same way about you. But you convinced me that you can handle yourself. Now, let me convince you.”

Its that kind of stuff I find nauseating. I thinking, omg lets just keep going shall we, you can both apologize about each others mood swings later.

This x1000. Please stop THROWING it in my face that they are in love. WE GET IT. Progress the story without the mush.

But how can the story writer fill in the blank spaces in the storyline without his/her LGBT agenda? They would actually have to write meaningful dialogue, and not forced lovey-dovies to make sure we know, every single chance, that they love eachother.

It’s cool that they’re together, but for kittens sake can we see more dialogue about baddies and dragons?

Gyler.8150:

Always thought giving conditions a chance to crit, ie, condition damage, precision, ferocity, would be a viable buff.

SPVP would be 90% of the time waiting for a respawn. they would have to give players more vit baseline.

because conditions are flawed by design. They ignore toughness, so you could have an entire team of tanky mofos just condi spamming.

Wait.. that sounds like pvp.. noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Scythe as a melee cleave weapon for necro please.

I’ll give 5k gems for it… I promise

What would be the benefit of getting t4? I see nothing on the merchants worth the effort..

Correct me if im wrong, PLEASE!

Cogbyrn.7283:

I’m more of the opinion that, if each class has 1 build that they can use to compete competitively in PvP, then balance is doing well with every class being viable. At the end of the day, “competitive” anything (PvE, PvP, WvW) is going to boil down to filling a particular role as hard as you can. A certain configuration of traits/skills are going to accomplish that, and if you can fill that role harder than someone else, then you’re going to use the most optimal version of that build when you play.

I agree. Objectively, if one (best) build exists for each class you have a balanced game. Build diversity is a different issue.
However, this approach has more practical relevance to PvE. There is usually just one way to build for maximum damage, which is all that matters.
In PvP on the other hand, player skill is more important.
In case some of you didn’t see the last Ready Up interview with Helseth: he basically said you should run whatever you want, because being good at a non-meta build will contribute more than trying to make a team composition work that you’re not used to. It’s better to adept to the opposing team and situation than forcing predetermined roles on some classes or builds.

You should be fighting a class, not just a build.

Helseth is also someone who complains alot about this game, i’m suprised they even interviewed him. Anet has this superb ability to ignore useful information.

Traveller.7496:

Well, it’s just not Kasmeer and Marjory for me, honestly. The whole level of writing and NPC dialogue is just cringe-worthy again. (having finished the story content for now) it doesn’t feel like it has the necessary gravitas or humour. You should try to make me care for these characters, but it’s not happening.

Or maybe I’m just indeed expecting too much from an MMO storyline like jokke said. But GW1 NPC’s were interesting and storylines good, dang it! Why can’t we have the same level of writing here?

It sounds more like they are trying to please the LGBT community (or someone at anet) , rather than making interesting characters to care about. Majory was an awesome character, and kasmeer was an awesome character, until all we see is them talking about their relationship, every… single… time…

Anet hasnt learned anything, and this update, other than a couple of things, were 99% hype. This isn’t epic, this isn’t fun, its 1 small new zone and TOOLTIP FIXES.

Runes of the fighter?

They are no more!

This whole thread is lies! THE END IS NIGH!

Phineas Poe.3018:

Move Deadly Mixture to Firearms. Makes no sense why we need to put 4 points into the survivability tree to make its damage better.

That’s a huge reason why the FT always lags behind.

Its in the alchemy tree due to its name, and name alone. “Deadly mixture” fits with “alchemy”

They need to add a shotgun legendary, or some sort of huge cannon, like scarlets kiss, but with non-ugly colors.

Zefrost.3425:

If it gets buffed one day, what would the devs do to it given their track record?

That’s a tricky question, because given their track record… they wouldn’t touch it at all.

It’s a known fact that flame jet (fl num1) is rather weak, and less dps than other num1 options, such as bomb kit, grenade kit, or some condi builds. They know this as well, I would hope, because we say it enough. Yet… nothing is ever changed about it.

What should happen (imo):

1) Increase base dmg from flamejet
2) Less ‘ticks’ over same duration
3) Take burning req off, and make dmg baseline.

Everything else about ft is okay. Although the trait juggernaut doesn’t make sense, 200 toughness doesn’t make you a juggernaut.

Well OP, that’s what happens when you get people that have college degrees, but don’t know anything. A slip of paper doesn’t equate to a good employee.

Keneth.6490:

WHY would they make that stupid cutscene unskippable. I’m sick of wasting my time having to wait for this to play out and then getting owned by her bull abilities that bypass stability and dodging in 5 seconds like it was nothing.

I hate Anet so much sometimes. Like the character wasn’t annoying enough already.

She seems to knock me back at .1 seconds left on finishing her. 6th try now.

For whatever reason, your artists love to make the Male armor ugly as hell…

Coat tails = OKAY!
Skirts = NOT OKAY.

Eulolia.2467:

Got it now, hidden sound in Lion’s Arch..

what coords?

It’s not the game’s fault you have no time to play. Get some time, or go play a static MMO that doesnt change anything for months.

Eulolia.2467:

Enough of the whine, did anyone get 9/9 discoveries yet? I went through all the things and had 8/9. Two of the “hidden” links on mmorpg just went to things in Divinity’s Reach that were already there.

I am having the same problem

Specific Game Mode

All modes

Proposal Overview

15sec CD
Signet of the Archer:
Passive: 30% increased damage when pet is stowed
Active: Quickness 6s

Allow pets to remain stowed, but allow for them to be un-stowed in combat, but not be able to stow them in combat.

Goal of Proposal

This fixes many of the issues in PVE and allows for those that don’t want to play with bad pet AI to do so, without a complete overhaul of AI, reducing your workload.

Proposal Functionality

Lessen the issue of pets dying to splash damage, messing up pulls/mechanics/aggro

Associated Risks

None

Anet doesnt have to explain anything for this. I have built a shadow of grenth and a light of dwayna, both that require 15 damask. If you make the back piece with tailoring, why would it require anything other than TAILORING materials.

Less whining, more farming/saving your money.

Oh goodie, some people get free stuff and others dont.. GG anet lol.

captaincrash.6528:

Once you craft the ascended piece, there are ascended items (Dynamic Assault Knight Power Core and Synergetic Assault Knight Power Core) which are combined with the Tempered Spinal Blades in the mystic forge to change its colour.

So to answer everybodys question, No, crafting the Tempered one will not set your colour to orange and be orange forever – the option to change it comes later.

And right now, no one knows where the power cores of gifts of wine come from.

abomally.2694:

“I share the complaint friend, since the last patch my game has suffered countless system lockups. This problem occurs only playing Guild Wars 2.

—> Crash <—
Exception: c0000005
Memory at address 6d156b47 could not be written"

This game is not preventing a memory address from being written – it is something wrong with your system.

Possibilities include:

1) Software conflicts or a broken OS
2) Bad RAM or other hardware failures

It may also be a combination of the two. However – no program (by itself) will cause an Access Violation.

Edited to add: That memory address (6d156b47) corresponds to about 1.8 Gig. If you have a bad stick of RAM, it’s the one in the first slot.

We need anet responses/action, not some random dude on the forums. Plus his problem is not mine, just the same main issue, constant crashes.

Ever since the OoM patch I have crashed 1-4 times a day, submitted the info on the crash window many times (not always because its always the same type of error, and im trying to actually play the game…).

These things are preventing me from participating in high level fractals with my guild, and Teq/Marionette with TTS. I have lost out on copious amounts of rewards due to these instabilities (no pun intended).

Can you please fix this? Or give me back the copious amounts of money I’ve spent supporting this game.

Seems like someone is just mad about gem conversion prices

1) Ranger
2) Necromancer
3) Engineer

all of them need more group utility and power-based dmg buffs.

Zenix.1706:

Possible ^^

So OP !!!

That dmg is pathetic, also… pick better opponents if you want to prove a point :P

no and quit asking.

typical 20/25/0/25/0 all zerk, sword/wh and a ranged weapon (my choice is usually axe/axe)

Ruby orbs (hardly ever maintain scholar bonus in 40+) Utilities are frost spirit, zephyr, and third is your choice.

Jeremlloyd.6837:

Yeah, coz that’s the current meta

Sadly, it is.. but 25 in WS isnt a bad thing either, frost spirit due to its delicate nature (dies when a mob farts near it) is somewhat unreliable in un-stacked groups
