Guild Wars 2

^this, Yeah it is perfectly subjective and we all know that. But a few people have voiced the fact that they are dissatisfied with the armor style.

Danikat.8537:

I’m confused, the concept art the OP posted is a trenchcoat.

Yeah it is, but without the arm part (forgot the word in english), it’s like something under it.
And this one looks more like a reinforced one. You can actually feel the thickness of the breast part. Overall, it looks way better designed that what we get in game, (in my opinion)

The thing is, some heavy and light armor looks way more medium armor than actual medium armors.

Will we finally see good looking medium armor with the coming of PoF ?

When I see artworks like this one :

https://wiki.guildwars.com/images/thumb/8/8d/%22Corsair%22_concept_art.jpg/311px-%22Corsair%22_concept_art.jpg

I know they CAN design good looking medium armor. What I don’t understand, is why they don’t do it for actual armor in game, instead of those thousands of trenchcoats…

I though we got longbow and not shortbow ?

While all the other professions get a new class mechanic, we just get more of the same. Just like with glint.

Anyone has the same opinion as me ?

We’ve been requesting that for the whole time with revenant, with this ugly pink aura on the floor, and annoying sound it produces. Guess what ? It’s still in game.

I’m glad to see glint’s meta go just because of that particular reason.
I just hope they won’t do the same mistake with soulbeast :/

Wondrouswall.7169:

Reducing the aura size, possibly. Otherwise, keep the aura as persistent as long as Beastmode is activated. It’s a tell to other players and should be kept that way.

Well, the fact that the ranger doesn’t have a pet near him is enough to tell he’s activated soulbeast

Druid.

Why ?

Hello guys.

A friend of mine plays a warrior. I play ranger and Revenant, and love them both. But I want to focus on one character (playtime won’t allow me to become good on both), and I can’t figure out which one is best to compliment the warrior’s skills.

What do you guys prefer duoing with ? Rev or Ranger ? Other classes are out of the equation, since I don’t like them.

Fixed it by updating Nvidia drivers and restarting the PC. Thanks a lot !

Wait there is DPS metters for GW2 ? :o
What are reshade and gemfx ?

I’ll try all of those solutions, thanks

Hi there. Whenever I start the game, I got an error message saying something important crashed.

I can still play, but at max 30 fps (while I was usually at 60), no sound, and there is this error message at the middle of the screen that won’t move away…

Message logs says:

Well longbow would be better, imo. Never seen a condi LB in the game. Warrior’s one seems pretty hybrid to me, and Ranger’s one is purely power based.

Yeah but A.net is known for hating on the spirits in any form. Look at the ranger or the guard, they made their spirits absolutely useless as soon as they got a little love from the players.

I don’t want a useless E-spec :/

That’s why people are asking for an option to disable not, not to disable it completely

Wolfey.3407:

Or they go with a GW2 curve ball and use:
Eir since she's dead... this would allow for Long Bow usage

Ritualist sounds like a cool idea, if they do this.. I wonder if Xandra, Razah or Master Togo
would get the tap for it… personally I would love to see Master Togo get tapped for it.

I would actually really love it. Currently, we only have one ranged weapon, the Eir legend could help us build around a bow and get less CC and more damage out of a ranged style.

It would also work, since Eir has unfinished business in Tyria.

For the ritualist vibe, definitely Razah, he’s the coolest of them and the most mysterious.

It’s pretty straightforward, you have several choices: AoE power, single target power, and condis burst.

*AoE power: *

Something around those lines.

Not too sure about the traits on this one :/

Of course, those are not perfect builds, but you can pick what you like from them, and build your own around. Those are just start-up ideas

This effect is obviously a cosmetic one. Those who say otherwise are wrong.

See it that way:
You want to see what facets he has activated ? You can see them on his buff bars, which you SHOULD be keeping an eye on if you want to be at least half decent in PvP and WvW.
Also, trying to watch them on the floor is a bad idea, because it adds an information you need to gather on the screen. On top of the ennemieS positionS, you have to watch the boons on your target, and now, you have also to watch at the ennemy’s feet ?
No it’s not smart, nor remotely user friendly.

I really think it should be a disablable option for the player who don’t want to see it, the sound too, because it’s really annoying when you play your rev a lot. I stay a lot more on my ranger because of that particular reason. On my ranger ! I prefer playing a ranger over a rev, which is saying a lot, especially to you devs, who dislike the ranger so much you won’t even fix their bugs, people prefer playing them over your favorite newborn.

You DO know that the dab trend will end in 2 or 3 weeks, just like every other trend out there ? That’s not a good thing to create an emote for only 2~3 weeks

Thanks a lot for your input, guys !

Hi guys !

I have a question for you warriors. My friend plays warrior, and I have a rev and a ranger. I’d want to take the one best suited to his class. I would have wanted to know which one is the best suited partner to the warrior in each situation: WvW, PvP, Raid, fractales. (not all of them at the same time, but each one individually)

Could you tell me why you chose one over the other ?

Thanks in advance ^^

I see. I took Jalis to have some more control, using the staff as a gap closer. But Shiro might be good too.

Also, this build uses the Herald traitline, the aim of this build was to create a vanilla rev build ^^

Hey I was thinnking about the vanilla rev, trying something without Glint, for once. Just thought about something around those lines:

What do you guys think ?

Ranger: Norn
Druid: Sylvari

That’s it

Since Norns are fugly, you should go for a Sylvari

kitten, I only got 5.5k, been playing since beta with long pauses. It will take me years to get it >.<

This update is supposed to make the game less grindy. Is that true about APs ? I really badly want that Radiant hauberk, this is the only decent-looking medium armor chest to me !

No problem mate

I hope they will reverse it, seriously !

I still hesitate, I don’t have much slots, and most of them are filled with mules… I can’t really create any new character

Fractal level ? It’s a PvP map

No traps, no glass ground, no hammer anymore… Why did you remove everything that made the map cool ?

I’m not sure. Precision affects it as you make more crits, so you can proc more bleed or poison with the right runes, but that’s it. Neither precision nor ferocity affect condition damage

Thanks for the answer, Death Aggro, but I want to be really sure, so I’ll wait for an official answer about that

This question is more towards the devs, it is a legal issue question. Have we got the right to create a youtube channel dedicated to our guild, post videos of our activities, and monetize it ? (I know we won’t get much out of it, but it could help maintain the website for example)

When doing fractales and PJ’s, those godkitten wings block my view if another player wears them, most of the time.
I also think they look ridiculous and perfectly out of place in the GW2 lore (since there is no angel and gods don’t have such kittenty wings), but hey, who am I to judge ? The guild initiative is already wearing current real world military outfit in a steampunk universe.

I think they are destroying more and more the immersion in this game.

HI all !

I’ve been building a guild hall on my own for a while now. But I’m thinking about changing server. I heard that what I do for my guild on a server isn’t necessarly transfered ? What can I lose by switching server ?

I don’t think rangers are close at all of the dervish. I mean… Dervish in GW1 were religious fanatics, rangers are more nature linked.
From a RP standpoint, that wouldn’t fit at all.

Guardians are the only ones who have knowledge from Elona, with their paragon background. Also, they are religious fanatics too, they are the most likely to get such a spec.

I can’t find them anywhere, not even on google

And when I ask, people keep pointing me to the guild armorer, who only sells the old version of those armors.

Ok so noone is in the silverwastes anymore. How am I supposed to farm the bandits crest now ?

It also seems that I can’t do the pvp carapace reward line anymore also

Guys…. Transmutation charges a freaking easy to get. Go in PVP, do one match, and you got one.

Create a new char, explore one of the starting towns, and you get one free charge. Do 5 + Lion Arch, you get 6 total. Delete char, redo the explo with a new one, enjoy infinite free transmutation charges.

This has been around for a while

Why did it get removed in the first place anyway ?

Phew thanks, I had only like 13-14 points, and they gave me “god amongst men” as a title, it was an error. I thought I lost it all

Seriously A-net… You make a mistake attributing me a title -I agree I did not deserve-, so you take away ALL my GW1 Achievements ?!

Hey there !

Just wanted to ask what you guys think. I find the new WvW map to be looking way more Elonians than Maguumans.

Is it intended ?

Have you counted the F2 ? There should be 6 of them

I was a bit reluctant to be honest, at first.

The ambiance is perfect, the begining of the story is really cool (I don’t want to go too far too quickly so I spend some time in the camps, helping around).

I love my new main: the rev/herald.

Even if there is still some things left to tweak/fix, this is awesome. GG Anet

Thanks for the answers

But my question was more like: is there anything else I should know ?

I cope with those easily, but I wanted to know if there’s more.

Hi there !

I came accross several bugs while testing out the rev.

- Hammer #3 won’t touch anyone if they are on a lower ground than I am.

- Sword #3 will stop if the ennemy is near a wall

- Vengeful Hammers will sometime deactivate for no reason.

Any other bugs out there ?

I hope they will stop that nuclearpoweredlighty madness with lights everywhere and FX. It was fun on some legendaries at first, but now we only see those 2 aweful GS everywhere.

Flames going from god knows where, etc…

The only longcoat I like with the leather armor has some of these dumb flames going out of the shoulder that ruins everything (Flame citadel Medium armor).

While the robes and heavy armor almost all look cool :/

Well that’s nice, but I was told the legendary are only Helm/shoulders/gloves. So it doesn’t really count as a set, it makes 3, that’s not bad Can’t wait to see what they look like

Also, maybe it was 60 armor pieces, I don’t recall right if it was sold as 60 new ITEMS or 60 new armors

Hello there !

I heard that with the upcoming of the HoT Extention, there will be around 60 new armors.

At the moment, the leather armors don’t look like they are armors. They look more like dusters and longcoats. That does not really fit to the ranger, nor to the thief, it only fits with the engineer. There is a few here and there that aren’t dusters (3, iirc), but they aren’t really to my taste (that’s a personal opinion, and I know that it doesn’t apply to everyone else)

Are we going to get some new leather armors sets ? I mean, shoulders is good, but… It’s not enough, right ?

How is avatar like death shroud ? It doesn’t protect us, it’s a timer.

They said they will adress the core profession mechanics issue in the balance update ¬.¬

Also, It is something ADDED to the class, they didn’t get rid of the pet, they added the kitten out of our class mechanic !

(basically a repost….)

Its not that its wierd that Guildwars 2’s Druid has a lot of skills that are Sun, Moon and Celestial themed (these Celestial bodies are part of ‘Nature’…Heavenly or Celestial nature I guess….) but its a little out of place that there are two skills that are plant based, and almost all of the traits are plant/earthly nature based, only like two or three of the traits are really named the same way as the weapon/glyph skills.

There could be more cohesion in the naming at least.

I… actually have to agree with that.

What bother me the most is the confusion with the armor set that has the same name.

so is Berserker….They’re kind of running out of names here.

Especially when the class is more about condi damage than the armor lol
