Guild Wars 2

- hammer needs a 20% speed increase on everything. Or weaponswap.
- weaponskills need to consume 0 energy (similar to thief for utility skills).

got more, but waiting for other legends first

Staff ele can summon a hammer and go melee. Dagger ele can summon a bow and go ranged.
Engi can summon any weapon he wants and adjust to the situation.

Revenant is the only class with no weaponswap that can’t do that.

Revenant has to pick a melee or a ranged weapon, and swapping legend does not compensate for that, because it doesn’t change weaponskills, but just utilities you can’t spam. Doesn’t change your AA or weapon mechanic.

What about Dwarf makes hammer go melee and Centaur ranged? Just an example, but that would make more sense.

Shiro can’t solve it. Even if they give Shiro a stance that makes every melee weapon also go ranged, that would simply force every revenant to use Shiro and a melee weapon. Hammer and other legends would die.

my god, “condi sustained damage”, really?
Even 10k-burning-damage incinerator Ele can’t keep up with raw zerk dps.
Revenant needs a good weapon and a good legend. At the moment has 3 meh weapons and 3 meh legends.

Oh and not to mention that having weaponskill share stamina with legend skills makes no sense. Should be like thief (just the opposite).

Oh, yeah, and crap traits. Also compare them to ele traits, that can change the gameplay and give huge boosts and many boons.
Revenant has almost 0 self boons.

“waiting” “Shiro”

Staff is good. Heals 1.9k with 0 healing power with skill 4 and deals average damage compared to Revenant weapons.
Problem is hammer. Weaker then Guardian’s scepter at launch.

Even darker when far.

As screen shows, there is a darker square around the tablet when I move it. If it helps, map was Caledon Forest, around the point where Wurm event starts.

Screenshot.

Chronomancer and Revenant Elite are getting shield, as Druid and Thief Elite.
Deal with it.

You don’t gain anything but you don’t lose anything. I’ve used a lot of laurels and globs to get ascended gear, actually fulled my beta rev with ascended stuff, even a back.

Also used a lot of skins and minis I keep in bank to sell later. Even the makeover kit i got from achievements. Nothing wasted

Placeholder for ventari artwork I think

Revenant should get weapon swap or at least Hammer on par with Elementalist staff. Compare the 2 skill 5 lol.

Rev is Tanky, but not as much as a Zerk Necromancer (yep), or a Knight Guardian.

It’s Tanky, but not as much as a Zerk Necromancer, or a Knight Guardian.

Current Revenant skills, weaponskills and traits are all bad. All of them.
Lacks a decent healing skill, any useful utility skills (except maybe 2 of them) and any usable elite skill. Plus all the weapons have flaws (except mace+axe, that is not that great however).

About traits, I agree with the complains. Many of that stuff should be merged to give room to actually useful stuff. Compare Revenant traits with Elementalist ones.

For now Revenant is pretty much a disappointment. 5 Revs group take hours to clear dungeons, like 10 times more then other classes.

Not complaining too much, since we still have to see 2 legends (maybe the useful ones). However I’m pretty sure I’m not going to use any of the stuff that Revenant has now.

Hammer would be a nice ranged weapon with a decent AA speed.
Mace+Axe is not too bad, but not even good enough.
Staff would be great, but only has AA and 1 skill, other stuff is useless support that doesn’t even support so much (except the healing one, it’s not disappointing).

Among the traits many go against each other, as lines.

Among the utilities maybe 2 are useful. Ventary is kinda completely useless (may help a bit only in stacking situations, but has no damage, can only help tank.. lol tank…), dwarf has skill 9, while skill 10 has too much channeling time to be used effectively, and the other ones are pretty much a waste of time.
About demon stance, I can’t see much utility in pve, maybe pvp. Only nice skill is Unyielding Anguish, but it’s too much random.

If Shiro/sword and Glint/shield are good, I won’t probably use any of the current Revenant stuff.

I’m not very concerned with current Revenant low damage. It’s a beta, plus we have Healer legend, Tank legend and basically useless legend (maybe good in pvp?).

Shiro and Glint will fix it. And we’ll forget about current revenant stuff. Seriously, if upcoming legends and weapons are good, nobody is going to use current ones.

At the moment we have meh traits and only 2 useful utility skills (yes, 2, all the other skills are crap).

Staff deals devent damage with AA and skill 5, but the other skills are pretty much support. Mace is nice but has almost no cleave. Hammer has nice range and skills but AA is too slow.

It has to be fixed or at least have the DPS legends added.

As title suggests, Revenant has no hammer AA animation while being transformed into a ghost in AC path 3.
Damage works however. Just no animation.

As shown in picture. That’s south of Grand Piazza, just before the bridge.
The sand texture is floating in the air.

Tested on multiple clients.

The trait (Radiance -> Radiant Fire) that activates [Zealot’s Flame] on critical hit triggers the the real [Zealot’s Flame] on torch skill 4 and lets you throw it (with no cooldown). Also resets the cooldown on torch skill 4.

Is that intended?

Wheres the appreciation? Your “Offer” still forces veteran players to pre purchase the expansion despite not knowing most of the information, and despite not even knowing a release date. If you wanted to show your appreciation towards veteran players you wouldn’t have to use a character slot as blackmail in order to get money from your existing player base, and frankly it’s still a shady move in my opinion.

Personally don’t fall for this, esp players who play other aspects other than pvp, if you play all aspects of the game, these are the types of players that could potentially be screwed the most when it comes to being completely uninformed before purchase equating to angry customers.

Countless

Nobody forces you to do anything. Why are you forced? The pre-purchase is there until HoT comes out. And They already said that info about challenging content will be revealed when they’re ready to do it and before HoT.
So again, who is forcing you to pre-purchase?

You’re not sure? Don’t buy it yet.
They revealed something you don’t like? Don’t buy it at all.
They revealed something great 1 day before HoT is out, or you want beta access? Then buy it, but because you want something, not because they’re forcing you.

well..i only play pvp but i’m gonna wait anyway, i don’t care about char slot and before getting hot i really want to see how is gonna be…playing since start (Well…more likely since gw1 first day…10 years ago) all i saw in gw2 pvp till now was a bunch of worthless promises and a stupid casual (pve) friendly mentality that totally ruined the competitive side of this game, if they’re planning to keep up with this bs they can keep their expansion too…i don’t care about 50 euros, but i’m really done looking at a company trying to fool ppl with promises while at the end of the day they don’t really give a kitten to competitive pvp

If they want my money they need to earn it…with facts.

If you only play pvp then you’re getting everything for free even without spending 50$ for the expansion. It’s a pointless topic (and badly delivered), strongholds and specs are also for base game only.
And by the way the expansion is only 45 euros, not 50.

Also, lol for saying that (all?) pve players are casual. Nice bait.

As I edited, I’m not complaining here. Just want to know how ANet wants to settle things.

To me “people got the Deluxe (also) for the extra slot” is the same as “people got the base game recently (also) for the expansion”.

Maybe if it wasn’t for the extra slot, people would have got the regular edition. Also a refund is impossible, since many of the rewards are immediately delivered and used.

Thank you ANet. Really. This has been a huge mess that was damaging the community. I think that the free Character slot is a good way to solve the majority of the complains.

However, what about people (like me) who already got Ultimate (or Deluxe) mainy for the extra value (including the extra Character slot).

Are we going to end up having 2 extra slots even if we only wanted one?
We are going to get only one slot, so the extra value of our version is reduced?
Are we getting a gem refund? A partial refund?

I’m not complaining here (I’m ok with 2 slots). Just want to know how ANet wants to settle things.

Thank you.

Is the base game a bonus ONLY for PRE-purchase or it will stay even after HoT launches?

Briggah, if I don’t spend another 50$, despite already having the game, I can’t play the expansion. I can’t even enter in a guild hall if I don’t buy the game again.

A new player buying now the game gets everything.

Nice job getting players who abandoned the game to play it again.

kitten for old players would have been enough, at least symbolic. Or at least a free character slot if you already owned the game before (that probably means you have 5-8 full)

The problem was never the price to me, but the fact that a new player who buys the game now gets more than an old player who got the game for the same price. If I don’t buy AGAIN the game/expansion now, then I get less then somebody who purchases it today for the first time.
A new player gets the base game for free.
A player who has the game gets nothing. Basically if we don’t buy the game again we can’t play the expansion.

This alone is proof that it was a bad choice.

I’m pretty sure that 45 Euros are fine with an expansion for a B2P game.
And I’m ok with conveniente bundles for new players.

The problem is that usually those 2 things are different and the bundle actually should cost more then the expansion itself.

NCSoft/ANet would have made much more money and way less people angry if the expansion was at 45 Euros and the bundle at 50 Euros.

You could even leave the Deluxe at 75 Euros for new and old players, and way more people would have bought it.

Seriously, 0 skills at marketing guys.

Nvm, tested it. Works out of combat too

Is [Superior Rune of Evasion] swiftness effect applied only during fight or also normally?

I’m using this on my Ele http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fFEQFAWnMIOIqwhwhVOMOwuhuB8RcJOABgQO5xohbEYxodA-ThSBwAUUCu5ACsTlCpK/upiSnLAww9H1BQpjwh5PAPIAA-e
Rune of the Ogre is because I couldn’t find anything better for a cheap price (it’s not my main character).

FIXED (for me)

I deleted ALL the files and folders in “C:\Users\MYUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Guild Wars 2/”
It was probably something in GFXSettings.Gw2.exe.xml or Local.dat

The files were instantly recreated when loading the game again, and this time it worked.

Funny fact. I found this folder while checking the files to backup before formatting.

Slavito.5269:

Each time i start the GW2.exe i get this error. Yestarday i did play, today i can’t. Any suggestions ?

Same here. I open my client, I type username and password (it doesn’t remember them, but before today it did), the game opens, white screen and crash with “Send report to ANet” as in your screen.

About to reach 5000 ap.
Is the free makeover kit consumed after I double click on it, or can I preview changes and decide not to use it?

that’s odd, because i was with a desolation “native” and he wasn’t getting the Travel popup at all, while I got it multiple times. seems more like a bug to me.

I was guesting on Desolation to do Tequatl event (since my server is not even attemting it anymore), and I was moved to Overflow. As queue finishes and I hit the transfer button I always get an error message, and I’m unable to go out of overflow.

generalraccoon.3857:

I’m all for it to be a gem store skin. No RNGs please, i’d do almost anything….anything to go around RNGs.

they’ll be probably obtained by a dungeon merchant using tokens from the new upcoming dungeon.

probably it is not meant to count guys.

bravoart.5308:

Yes, I know a majority of the forum seems to just have gobs of dosh laying around from exploiting game bugs, exploiting other players (bltc) and CoFp1 spamming, but really…

This is ridiculous:

• Mini costs 125 racing tokens.
• You earn a maximum of 7 tokens for winning a moa race. 3 for 2nd, 1 for third.
• You have a 20% chance of winning (un-alterable)
• It costs 50s per bet.
• You only earn money if you turn in your tokens for winner’s bags. Saving your tokens for the mini earns you nothing.

That is an absolute minimum of 9g you would have to spend assuming that you won 1st EVERY round (which you won’t) – and 62.5g assuming worst case scenario in which you still win 3rd place.

Anyone else feel this is a bit excessive for a mini?

OR

you can farm 30g and buy if from TP.

I farmed dragon coffers and zhaitaffys in the first day and I made 20g in like 2 hours.

Manu.6078:

Is the moa race a gambling game? Why are we forced to spend real money (via gems) to get an achievement? An in game currency, like karma or this new pieces of zhaitaffy, should be used for gambling only. I did not see this sign on the game home page.

you are NOT forced. There are 12 achievements you can get to get the wings, but you need only 10.

also getting the pet is not a must. and it’s an exotic rarity pet. if you don’t want to gamble just buy it from tp for 30g.

Pic related.

Those wings on a female norn are big as they should be (I’d say just a little big bigger then the shattered ones), but on human they’re really small (not in absolute, but compared to the size of the body), almost like small bat wings. The name says ‘Dragon Wings’.

Can you please make them a little bit bigger on humans too?
In proportion to norn and charrs, that have big wings even compared to their big bodies. Humans have medium body and small wings.

The drop rate is not reduced. It’s just impossible to get the free +200% magic find as before, so you get less of them.

Yes. It was already more difficult than some other rushes, but now it’s on a completely different level.

The Crazed Karka event at [Steampipe Stading] makes almost impossible the already very difficult Guild Rush in Southsun. And it’s still there even now that the Living Story is over.

After with very much trouble you manage to pass the Champion Reef Bloodmother and the Worms at [Onyx Field] (that almost kill even normal lv80 characters and are invulnerable, LOL), and all the other obstacles of the rush itself (like the following hatchlings) there is the Crazed Karka event at [Steampipe Stading] (that also nobody is even doing anymore because it’s too hard and there isn’t the +200% magic find boost anymore) with mobs that can kill even the most tankish Guardian in the game in half a second.

This Rush was already the most difficult and frustrating, but now it’s almost impossible and every guild I know is failing it all the times after the Living Story.

My idea? Remove that Guild Rush route or remove the events that make it impossible.

Thanks.

As long as they’re just weaponskins, I don’t care.
They don’t prevent you from enjoying every game content.

I just hope they keep giving us “free” weaponskins as Super Adventure Box and Halloween ones.

HungryWolf.4517:

This issue seems to affect norn females of all armor types: there is a seam in the waist which becomes more/less obvious depending on the equipped leggings. It even appears when fully naked, albeit very faintly.

Specific info about the screencapped characters:
- Heavy armor Guardian, Tier 3 “Stag Chausses” cultural armor purchased from Valdsam in Hoelbrak, not transmuted.
- Medium armor Engineer, Tier 1 “Wolfborn Leggings” cultural armor purchased from Sken in Hoelbrak, transmuted.
- Light armor Mesmer, crafted “Feathered Pants,” transmuted.

Also, thank you very much for fixing last month’s clipping and modeling issues – they look great.

It affects Human females too.

As you can see, the lower body part is not linked correctly to the upper.

It only happens when wearing Feathered pants of any level, with any coat (except the coats that cover that part).

I’m from RoF and I only need those poi/vistas in Dzag borderlands. Been trying to take them for 10+ weeks.

Give a hand please.

Thanks.

people in some servers don’t need to spend them, because their server situation allows a balanced rotation between maps.

so some people have advantages compared to others depending on their server.

why shoild i spend 56g when some people just have to wait? the situation in RoF now makes simply IMPOSSIBLE (it’s math) to get the blue borderland from the start.

not event talking about server power here.
