Guild Wars 2

The irony…

Sweet sweet treasure. NOT!

What did it change that she died early. The drill reached its goal anyway.

She was done, she reached her insane goal. We lost. We could have gotten some knowledge out of the situation, but no, not Trahearne, but Braham takes away the story this time.

Killing Scarlet was absolutely wrong. She should have stood trial for her crimes and so much more could of been explained. Suppose she was too dangerous to be kept alive by ArenaNet’s standards.

Except as they closed in to do just that she attacked them nearly killing 2 of your friends. I believe lethal force was justified.

She killed thousands before, why would two random NPCs make any difference. My friends? Braham? Nope. Marjory? I would sacrifice her every day to hear the whole “masterplan” of Scarlet.

Nah dude I understand you’re Scarlet fan but villains that strong with powerful leadership to command such an army is a major threat. She needed to be killed because with all the knowledge she got..she could pull another stunt like this again. I’m quite sure someone will rescue her like a prison guard if she was placed in jail.

It sucks though because she had a lot knowledge, but used for wrong doings because if she was our ally Tyria has a powerful ally.

Don’t get me wrong, Scarlet was the worst villain I have ever seen in a game. But a bit more knowledge of her motivation might have been the saving grace for her existence.

Now this ending is just bad. She could have been devoured by the dragon she released. Or burned trapped in her ship (my hope for the final really), but no, she get’s a mercyful instagib without story.

That is not how a good story is told or ends. This is just lazy.

Nope, no more of this LS failure for me. What is next is still open, but it won’t be GW2.

I want a story worth caring, with a climatic ending. Not some ADHD villain who destroys something in the end, that noone knew it existed before. After preparing for 14 monthes with things that made no sense.

Braham probably helped Scarlet. To cover his crimes, Scarlet had to die before she had a chance to tell everyone the truth.

Braham is as stupid as his mother. He makes all Norns look bad.

This “final” is a big disappointment. Just another massive zerg with massive bugs and so little story, that it hurts.
I really hoped some huge dragon would rise from below LA in a great cinematic. That would have had some epicness. “Here I am, you fools, I made her free me!”
But no, she cracked some ley line. Woohoo! The end is nigh!

C’mon, worst final of worst story ever.

Oh good, another thing that is buggy, I didn’t even realize.
OK, so it is not a solo instance but it is broken, so it becomes one.

Sorry, for not knowing.

Solo instance is solo.

This is just a buggy mess, killed all three within three minutes and still no attunements. I feel already lucky, if I get any loot of the bosses at all.

This final is the final nail in the coffin for me. AAA games just have better QA. How can a company mess up a patch they had 14 monthes time to prepare for.

Oh, I got my reward from Scarlet earlier, but not getting any loot from the three bosses that should give me 5 boxes each is buggy as it can be…
And I think it is 6 mins.

It is a summary of the whole LS in one big patch:

A giant zerg going on.
A raid boss with tons of HP as final encounter.
Buggy like no tomorrow (like you betrayed me of at least 20 exotic lootboxes and didn’t let me enter the portal after killing all three bosses personally)

How could this end any different? It is how it has been for the last 14 monthes. At least ANet is true to themselves.

Bravo. Can’t wait for Season 2!

I bet all you guys laugh when you see animals get run over

Only if they fly really high into the air, and do a couple of flips.

Yeah, those are funny. I really dislike the ones that leave marks on my car though, well played you evil animal!

Wut is dis?

There is info, you just have to actually use it…

The escape will be over today, how else would we try to retake LA.

The badges will stay at least for the next release, as it is most of the time after a big event.
Do I have a source, no. But you will get the answer in just some more hours anyway

Quaggzilla, sleeping under Lion’s Arch will revenge poor Quaggan!

Nat.4029:

Calling ESO “Skyrim multiplayer” would be an insult to Skyrim.

At least, ESO feels more as a part of Elder Scrolls, than GW2 feels related to GW1…

But I have to confirm, that most people would have been happy with just a Skyrim multiplayer mode… ^^

What time will it go live?

Also what the heck is she drilling in LA? Hopefully we will get some answers >> ? :0

She is drilling the ground.

Must be the secret quaggan treasure, because quaggans > everything.

Scarlet is releasing Quaggzilla from its underground prison!

It is the last update of the LS, of course we will get an answer.

We never get an ETA on the patch time though.

The easiest way would be: Stop playing GW2 for some days and play some other game with loot drops. Chances are way higher this way to get some good drops.

GW2 loot and loot system itself is abysmal. Why wait for days for motivating drops?

Hidori.3472:

Meh. No need to fear skyrim multiplayer. ESO is subpar to GW2 in many ways. Ppl will try it out and then come back again.

Only time will tell.
ANet should better start to take a look at ESOs AvA though, it works far better than WvW in GW2.

Not going to happen.

With ESO right around the corner, ANet probably feels pressured to put out some more content on the March 28 release.

Season 2 and WvW will be priority, and the bugs from release will still survive some more monthes.

Look around, there is info everywhere…

I have Mirror only rarely in my utility bar, but I am a male norn.

Trahearne it his final form:

“This won’t end well…”

A discussion about vertical progression?

This is sooo November 2012.

We have vertical progression, it will stay. No matter if you don’t like it or don’t see it, it will stay anyways.

Stop the denial, start the grind – for the children I say.

It is not 3k dps, get this in your head. It is not one life blast per second. It takes about 1.5 sec per life blast. So it is more like 2k dps, which is mediocre at best.

C’mon gesho, there are many things that are situationally overpowered in this game.

But of all things I could think of right now, life blast is not one of them.

It is highly telegraphed, visually distictable, requires DS to be charged, is bloody slow and does mediocre damage per second.

If you die from six life blasts in a row, you are doing it wrong. You deserved to die actually. You didn’t heal, you didn’t interrupt, you didn’t dodge, you didn’t try to evade or get away. You played sitting duck for at least 9 sec.

If you play PvP, you have to be active. And flexible. And you need to know your opponent, their skills and their possible playstyles.

You failed in doing so and so you deserved to lose. It is as simple as that.

I think it’s rather telling that you still believe you’re right in your assessment of what happened, when you’ve managed the nigh-impossible feat of obtaining 100% consensus in the forums….that you’re wrong.

There Are None So Blind As Those Who Will Not See.

He will not accept anything else but confirmation. Setting the bar, that he is not supposed to lose no matter how bad he playes, made the whole thread already meaningless.

Yes, the player “base” is growing with every game sold. As there is no sub, everyone who bought a copy is part of the player base pool.

With this wording, GW2 is always growing, as it never loses players.

Btw, they have never mentioned when they had 460k playres online, it was probably right after release.

chemiclord.3978:

Shockwave.1230:

Interesting tid-bit, Eric Rane mentions how overwhelming it can seem to have code being used by 500,000 players. Not sure why he uses that number, but he does.

Because it’s a decent round number that’s probably somewhere in the ballpark of their heaviest concurrent usage, would be my guess.

I think you are wrong here, it is more like the number of active players all together.
500,000 concruent players in GW2? Maybe shortly after release. I am fairly sure that we are far away from that number right now.

The LS is soon to be over!

If this game is going somewhere, it is good in hiding it.

Unless its target destination is south.

Just so you know, you might have missed some games better than GW2.

saalle.4623:

For me as well Gw2 is best MMO out there.Just community sux,full of troll’s like that guy above me.

GW2 is not a bad game, just the DEV’s do try hard to make it somehow worse all the time.

As a sidenote, I have supported the GW2 community more than most players here and helped many players. If that makes the community fail, what is not?

Came here to see what is the best game ever.

Unfortunately, this thread is a troll.

When I play a themepark MMO like GW2, lore and story are the most important things to me. Immersion is what I am looking for.

While I like the lore, the story in GW2 is abysmal. It makes the lore futile anyways, as it is just set up on something random and new.
The story offers no immersion – only the old gods know why ANet is trying to avoid the rich lore they have…

Hey, if only thieves can (are allowed to) kill him, than it must be the bestest build.

8h ago, OP created this thread:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/balance/do-all-profs-have-same-speed/first#post3679182

I think it is a L2P issue here, new player is new.

Wildstar? This will only give you back the feel of another MMO that fails.

Global cooldown MMOs with visuals worse than WoW itself? Ain’t nobody got hope for that…

New mesmer skill:

Shattered Dreams: Blow yourself up for minimal damage, killing yourself and damaging an item. This will teach you to play a phantasm build eventually.

How about we have now ascended gear you have to grind for weeks for tiny stat boosts.

PvE is more or less the same with some more zerg.

PvP is the same old same old.

So, the game’s PvE is still nonexistant, and the PvP still unbalanced?

We have two giant zerg raids in the open world, which probably equals ANets idea of endgame (rolleyes) and bi-weekly updates for what ANet thinks is a story (can’t roll my eyes that fast).

PvP is the same old just with more warrior.

They will check your chat log, and your combat progress.

Kicking people from fractals for the final encounter and inviting gildies for example was getting a popular way for lazy rewards.

This is offensive towards the kicked player. Situations like this might result in a ban.
It is up to you to take the risk of kicking someone. Better got a reasonable reason.

04.04.14.

Oh wait, you mean for this game?
Tomorrow, tomorrow at 10

Smells fishy to me, this “hypothetical” situation.

And yes, if you abuse the kick system you might get a warning in one form or the other.

The face, it must be palmed.

Honestly, this necro is doing 17k damage to you, in more than 6 seconds, and you think that is unbalanced? Because you lack situational awareness?

Oh god, this was a power necro, I do not expect necros to be DD, they are all condition damage.

Where is the logic behind this topic. You got outplayed, because you did expect the meta.
I won’t even start to tell you what other classes can do in over 6 sec…

Mjgander.1905:

Guanglai Kangyi.4318:

Also because pugs seem to think warriors are automatically top DPS no matter what spec they run, despite the fact that that makes zero sense.

If you want some lulz, try putting up an LFG for “LFG AC P3 (or whatever easy dungeon) speedclear, meta DPS only, ping gear” and just watch the stuff you get from the warriors that join. Some stuff I’ve gotten:

- “[Green Cleric’s Greatsword of Life] it’s okay cleric has power stat so i can dps”
- “[Berserker’s Longbow of Grawl Slaying] im zerk war its fine”
- “[Berserker’s Axe of Force]” but then once the dungeon starts he switches to a rifle (probably PVT stat) and just sits in the back healshouting

All of those people probably genuinely think they’re running a meta DPS spec.

Also this.

This just shows, that anyone can get to 80 without any skill or knowledge, especially if he plays a warrior. And that you can get along with bad equip, as long as you play a warrior, because it is so easy.

Ephemeral.5409:

Kaiyanwan.8521:

Guanglai Kangyi.4318:

So basically:

Warrior can sacrifice a considerable chunk of their DPS contribution (which includes their own DPS + whatever they boost their party by) to get a weak personal condition removal OR stunbreak.

Mesmer can INCREASE their DPS (which is already extremely high) by slotting skills that ALSO give them extremely strong party-wide condition removal and stunbreak.

Also, because mesmers have more active defenses, they have a higher effective HP. As such, % healed is a better indication of actual heal effectiveness than the raw number of hit points restored. The fact that the mesmer is losing overall health slower than the warrior but restoring it at the same rate means that he’s got better defense overall.

That’s why you see all those mesmers only (maybe with a guardian) dungeon runs.

The class for PvE is warrior, everything else just exists as sidekick.

Luckily for all warriors, ANet is in love with them and they do not want to anger a gros of their playerbase with nerfs right before so many interesting releases. So nothing will change, especially not on the balance patch before Living Sory Season 2.

So you’re basing the effectiveness of a class on how popular is in PuG runs? Are you serious?

The only reason pugs stack warriors is because they’re easier to do well with. If you look at most speedruns, they’ll likely have 1 warrior for banner duty, and stack eles for dps.

No, this is not just about dungeons, it is about PvE.

Warriors are the easiest profession to level, do perform great in any kind of content, have the highest base hp and armor and can be played well easily. They are the rulers of PvE.

Unless you want the game more difficult than necessary and still not performing superior, you do not play anything else but a warrior in PvE.

Therefore:

Q: PVE most used class?
A: Warrior.
