Guild Wars 2

sorrychief.2563:

This has been suggested what I estimate a little over one kajillion (is that even a word?) times but if they worked like engy kits I would see no good reason to ever drop the FGS except for might stacking/healing purposes

That’s why I’m against kit-like mechanics.

yayuuu.9420:

I think that better solution would be to just lower the cooldown or add some traits that lowers their cooldown. Implementing your idea would require nerfing them hard (well, I would still like it as long as it would be viable).

I guess lowering cooldown won’t fix main problem of conjuries – flexibility. When you summon a weapon you can’t do a thing. As Russians say: “step left-step right – shooting down” that means – you have no freedom. And that’s atrocious, as ele’s feature is being of all trades.
I’m sure that weapons will need some nerf but that’s decent price as for me.

Hello, brothers elementalists and all sympathizers. I have an idea how to improve conjured weapons. I’m not sure if someone has suggested something similar before (most people suggest kit mechanics) but anyways.

What if conjured weapons were bound to appropriate attunements? For example – you summon flame axe and your fire attunement skills are changed to axe skills. So you can swap and use other elements whilst axe skills cd. I think it would make conjured weapons much more efficient.

It could also have a limitation of one weapon active at a time.
Also I guess Anet could separate mechanics leaving weapons in previous state for other professions, so ground conjury would be still in game.

And what’s your opinion?

Is it true, that your eyes are more beautiful, than the famous Stone of Galveston?

Valheru Baal.9456:

Multiple classes have limited availability to get stability such as necro, thief, mesmer certain ranger builds.

And surprisingly those classes can kill enemies easily with fear\push\pull

Valheru Baal.9456:

It is always the same scenario, they pull, push, knocback, fear you on spot and the break it under you. This is the easiest to carry out at skyhammer, since the arena up there is really, really small and there is almost no safe spot up there. Bunker Engi is the perfect fit for it since it has access to multiple stability, block, invulnerability and knockback/pushes.

>Engi
>Multiple stability
Lold as kitten.
Anyways, you can’t be killed by pushing if you stay away from platforms. The only dangerous things are magnet and scorpion wire. They are evaded easily even if the enemy uses invisibility.

Incurafy.6329:

1. Not every class has access to stability, please point out what I’m supposed to do on a Thief, for example?

>Look at me, I’m so dumb I can’t take stability and stay as far as I can from breakable platforms! I’ll just selfishly leave games so Anet probably listens to my whining! Such a great plan for such a cool guy as I am!
Can’t say if fat or just very stupid.

Oh come on, just post rank proof, not shopped dragon which doesn’t even fit a banner.
Oh, I see the real finisher at the background. Isn’t fun.

Freakin loled. Hope that’ll bring high non-condition damage meta back.

All Quiet on the Western Front

Bhawb.7408:

Since the preview, a total of 2 people have expressed a positive opinion of the healing skill, and both of those 2 are PvE players

Just imagine how much damage this signet can provide. And yuh, GETTING HIT IS THE FIRST REASON TO HEAL AFTERALL.
Signed. 3rd positive player. PVP one. What DOES suck is skelk venom. And probably another spirit, for gods sake.

A very nice idea. I have hundreds of boosters because I thought they were useless!

Well, anyone who’s heard about sane villains with clear motivation and logical actions certainly does.

nekretaal.6485:

So you create this joke character who is somewhat memorable, have him do something brave, and then pooop on him instead of giving him a chance to redeem himself. It is a perfect example of the men are disposable meme, which would not be so annoying except that all of the story driving actions, aside from southsun and halloween, have been made by females for the benefit of females.

Oh, so I’m not the only one to feel this way.

Konig Des Todes.2086:

I am happy with the outcome. Better than them screwing up the Fall of Abaddon by adding in a “Scarlet did it!” to that as well.

At least Scarlet’s placement in Thaumanova Fractal makes some sense, even if it feels a bit shoehorned in.

Worst excuse ever. Anet is proud of you.

Afya.5842:

Epic battle between Gods vs tiny people interacting with switches?

How can you forget such a thing?
Tiny people interacting with switches and SCARLET!.. Which makes the whole story 100 times worse.

Romek.4201:

first remove skyhammer and spiritwatch from soloQ and nerf finaly necro and warrior

I hear a rabid rabbit here.
Well, skyhammer is understandable because 80% of players can not into positioning but Spirit Watch? Seriously? Nerfing necros? Have you ever played a necro? Still can agree with warr nerf.

Zenith.7301:

Scepter chain. 1 stack of bleed (4 secs), 1 stack of torment 2nd, 1 stack of confusion (3rd chain).

Didn’t even read further. Wet dreams.

1. Copy every game mode from GW1 and Unreal Tournament.
2. Add mode which is similar to MOBA games.
3. Make warriors into ranger pets.
4. ???
5. Ten out of ten, game of the year, pvp of the century.

>Wildstar
Lol. Just lol.
I can understand new WoW expansion. I can understand EQN (or BDO in Asia and Europe) hype growing. Even desire to play TESO with its awful combat system can be explained. But maimed WoW clone with 0\10 setting and combat? Hell no.

Oh, let her die in pain before Christmas. And let’s have a dragon after it. Or even expansion.

kito.1827:

it just doesn’t feel like pvp anymore, in moba everything is about some pve content and lvl’ing up. so many matches i saw where people wouldn’t touch each other for minutes because of lvl’ing up. sooo boring – go to pve!

srsly i fear the fast paced game style gets lost in this moba world

Nah, if it was boring, mobas wouldn’t have such huge fanbase. One LoL stream gets more viewers than GW2 tpvp final at pax. Sad but true.

Whatever mode you add to the game – please, make gameplay affecting environment. Lavapits, icestreams, geysers, fumaroles. And bigger maps

Tyler Chapman.1832:

Oghier.7419:

D/D didn’t get nerfed. Increasing base initiative gain by 33% is a pretty big deal.

It’s more than a big deal. It’s a MASSSSSSSSSIVE buff to all thief specs.

Yeah, MASSSSSSSSSSIVE buff for all thief specs which don’t use traits for ini-regen.
None, to be precise.

Still waiting for it.

Mob finishing is a nice idea for PVP-like (or GW1-like) PVE. But unfortunately most times it makes killing mobs even faster. Just aoe the downed one when everyone else comes to res him Feels like a hotjoin, lol

Dunan Atreides.5436:

You sure you’re not just making the gw1 connection because the area looks like post-searing ascalon and that post-searing ascalon music was playing?

Nope, I haven’t played original game but played Nightfall, GWEN and a bit of Factions.

So with this update we got mobs, who need to be stomped. I think that’s quite nice, even if they behave stupidly sometimes. And skill spectrum they have is much better than any other (but needs more cc\heal to troll players).
Maybe Anet will finally make GW1-like mob fights? With, you know, a touch of hardcore. More hp and couple of useful skills – and this Toxic Alliance would be perfect. What are your thoughts?

Sarie.1630:

Scarlet’s Slime Squad

Katran.9186:

The kraitest alliance ever.

You almost stole the punchline from my best GW2 joke

Sorry, it wasn’t intentionally, this pun is obvious.

Just my uninteresting to anyone opinion overhere which I need to express.
Scarlet sucks. Unfortunately, Anet won’t admit their fail. They don’t have such habit.
And I still hope they’ll create intresting villain, story with grimdark atmosphere and bunch of memorable characters. In other words – everything what I (and I think most of people) liked in GW1.

But now we have festivals, Villain Sue who can’t think of mesmer’s clones and prefer killing her enemies by GIANT CLUB and story of ALL factions uniting against us. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhXz60f0HLU
//Well, all factions union would be really nice plot. If anyone would give a kitten about it. Now we have same green fields with NPCs who don’t really care. And bunch of dull one-sided female characters… And couple of male characters who are “clowns” at best. (And sudden dumb Eir’s sons with awful haircut and ebony FOR GRENTHS SAKE, EBONY NORN, WHY? skin at worst).

So, NPCs’ indifference and awful characters kill everything for me. That’s why my favourite LS is Flame and Frost. It had atmosphere. The fires burning in the blizzard, crowds of refugees and dead bodies all over locations. I spent entire month in 1-25 Norn lands. F&F wasn’t perfect. Story was banal, characters were… you know. But it was darker. It was serious. It influenced the world.

I hope Nightmare tower will be similar atmospherewise. But in fact I expect that NPCs that live in 100 metres from that tower won’t even notice. Excluding northern fort there, which, I guess, will be the main point of the “good guys”.

The kraitest alliance ever.

KyreneZA.8617:

+1 OP.

Scarlet is the best! The amount of hate, rage, vitriol and QQ directed her way means ArenaNet has finally made a memorable villain. Arm-chair critics be kitten ed; she is more infamous than Mad King Whotsface, his wannabe son and all the Elder Dragons combined.

I personally hope she never dies.

/ strokes his beloved holo-Scarlet mini…

Be less fat, brah.
/strokes his beloved Liadri mini

1. We kittened Up Your Lore, Stupid GW1, Ha-Ha-Ha.
2. Just Another One Evil Alliance
and my favourite
3. Finally United Cucumbers & Kraits

DarkWasp.7291:

Don’t get me wrong, keep up with the patching old content and adding new features. Just happy to see living world content coming back.

I’d be so happy if they started doing LS once a month. And also reworking old content once a month, making home instance useful or intresting, solving problems like reward system in PvP and so on.

Meh, I like that. Adds some epicness for previews like TEQUATL and NIGHTMARE TOWER. What was the point of such voice at Halloween video – now that’s the question.

Scarlet is a bunch of nonsense and awful cliches but if

she’s a Dragon Minion, possibly a champion.

It’ll explain much (Mordremoth corruption eg) VINES GROWING INSIDE HER SKULL AND TURNING HER BRAIN INTO MASH WHICH MAKES HER SO DULL AND ONESIDED CHARACTER and won’t be THAT poor written as it seems right now.

DreamOfACure.4382:

Hilariously enjoyable? Of course
Enriching for the game? Absolutely

Oh yeah, little dark genius Sylvari who takes giant club in the middle of the fight just for fun. That’s not hilarious. That is kittening stupid. Unless target audience is 11 years old.

Jeff.4680:

…until I found out that it’s been confirmed that it’s Scarlet again.

Oh, holy Dwayna, save us from this kitten.

Yeah, Mordremoth is obvious. But I still pray for Kralkatorrik because that’s ELONA you know. Elona, Desolation and Palawa Joko.

1. Epicness.
2. Excellent plot.
3. Faren, as he’s the only one alive among all those pasteboard characters, tee-hee-hee. //Excluding DE, ofc.

The idea of such rewards is 10\10. But what we have as rewards is quite woefully

Valefor.3246:

- New skills and traits

Just look at that, they promised to add new skills next patch!!…One skill…Pve heal… Oh, fudge that.

This “big” patch is a cruel joke or something. Such things should be 4 times more often

Wow the human female ones are awesome :o

But still not the one from this old pre-release screenshot, that i always wanted

Oh Gosh, it’s gorgeous! We need to… I don’t know. Sign a petition for this hairstyle?

Fortnight updates are perfectly fine, I don’t think that if they have twice more time they’ll suddenly put all lore in game instead of the nonsense we have as plot and those briefings as dialogues site, make more challenging and fun content, check bugs and so on.
Let’s just pray for expansion.

Look what we have here. Another piece of lore that is put not in game but on website. Way to go!

Aisina.4963:

1. I don’t like her because she’s Sylvari.
2. I don’t like her even more because apparently she’s voiced by some pony freak thing

Obvious troll is obvious.

GW2 PvP is great but unpopular. Don’t think it’ll work.

Smooth Penguin.5294:

What a perfect time to combine the two best things that happened to the Guild Wars world. Taking on the theme of challenging content, I hope Anet throws a Scarlet fight at the top of the Clock Tower jumping puzzle. I’ve waited a year for the JP to come back, but we’ve all done it already, so there’s no real surprises. Adding some Scarlet fun to the mix is just want the community needs!

>Best thing to happen
>Unfunny mad clown as serious villain
>Scarlet
>Challenging
Lolno! When you get to the top of the clocktower suddenly LIADRI riding TEQUATL attacks you. And to be the best thing to happen, well, if someone succeeds in killing them Anet opens Crystal Desert till the end of the year and Palawa Joko kills Braham, Rox, Ellen Kiel, Trahearne, Scarlet and other annoying onesided characters.

I like Scarlet, I think she is funny. /shrug.

Hope she gets to make more appearances.

Yes if anybody likes scarlet they have to be an employee of anet because no one would ever like something you don’t like.

Not true. I admit that people can sincerely love dubstep, russian government and PewDiePie. But Scarlet? Seriously? Stereotypical cartoonish villain sue, vicious clone of Harley Quinn? She’s good for 11 year old players, maybe. Those, who whined about Liadri, Tequatl, SAB and stuff

Hmm, I’m not 11 years old, nor have I whined about teq, sab, or liadri. (I’ve made post about teq, but it has more to do with overflows and organizations than it does teq himself)

This actually might be the first or second time I’ve mentioned Liadri in a post.

That was just a little pin in a direction of casual players who don’t really bother themselves with content. Scarlet could be much greater if she would be really A VILLAIN. Just imagine – she kills…well, not Faren, Faren is nice. She kills Braham. In a very grimdark way and just for fun. She doesn’t use a cartoonish club to kill you. She takes, let’s say, a rapier and starts a Liadri level fight, making bunch of extra holes in you. She sets half of Divinity Reach on fire and slaughters citizens. (Not 15 people audience with that miserable cheesy episode of a girl protection). And invasions that really affect the world, not just crowds of mobs waiting for deaths in special spots (except dredges. The fact that they're just standing in place is explained) Now that would be mad villain.
What do we have instead? An unfunny clown trying to be chaotic evil.
