Guild Wars 2

Silverkey.2078:

Hi guys
I just watched the stream from ANEt (http://www.twitch.tv/guildwars2/v/9763687) and towards the end, Jebro is playing chronomancer. There are a few changes in particular, a very painful one is that “Gravity Well” has lost its pulsing CC… The only CC left is the float at the end (see after 6h10m50).

During original stream they’ve said it’s too strong and will either use float or pulsing CC. Mostly indicated float but seeing as they want to underline the final pulse they left it and removed pulsing cc.

I like how everyone’s complaining about having to use runes of traveler/speed on Revenant. Meanwhile, I have a stack of 6 Traveler runes waiting especially for my Revenant xD
Seriously guys, stop qq’ing about ooc mobility for Revenant. If the class turns out really strong, it would be too ridiculous to ask to be a powerhouse in combat and uncatchable out of combat or running from zergs. We can’t have it all guys.

I got ~120 rage runes (mostly because i expect them to rise in price) and might get traveler runes if i see i need more speed.

1 second of swiftness? 1? No, really…1?

Impossible Odds is a pulsing quickness and super speed while you are upkeeping the skill.

Does it trigger the cd of legendswap when out of combat? I’m curious to know if we are going to be able to use it (almost) permanently while ooc.

It’s not intended to be constantly used out of combat, but I think in the version you all get to play this weekend that you’ll be able to do what you said..

That’s amazing.
Uhm, “in the version you all get to play this weekend”
Lol, please don’t nerf its ooc effect, it’s the only good mobility option we currently have

It was almost impossible to keep up with far groups in WvW in the last beta WE.
Lightning field+blast forces to use mace+jalis (hammer is not fast enough and you need to stop to blast), and it’s bad if there are mobs around.
Also mace+jalis can’t really be used in jumping sessions without falling down.

If you really want to nerf IO ooc, then can we at least get swiftness baseline on jalis road skill? It’s a road afterall.

Being primarily a WvW player. not having a way to get at least 25% ooc speed through a trait or through a passive on a decent utility will be a deal breaker for me putting any serious energy into the class.

You DO have a way. It’s called Superior Rune of the Traveler x6. They aren’t there just for show you know. You not wanting to take them is not the same as not having a way to have that speed. You simply take what you value more. Speed and other bonuses or damage or w/e ?

Kidel.2057:

It was compared to thief that is by far the fastest class ooc. It was never said that revenant is meant to be slower then mesmer or guardian.

Having to rely on runes to travel is pretty bad, expecially in wvw

It’s not. It’s called having an option. This is all here for a reason. Work with other classes, use traveler, or don’t. If ANet wanted all of us move constantly at +25-33% they would just increase movement speed.

It was also never said that he is meant to be fast or that he cannot be slower. Everything is a trade-effect. You give up something to have something else instead. Make your choice.

There are many effects that grant speed, swiftness on crit/kill/swap etc.

Professions with easy access to swiftness value these a lot less than other effects. Maybe we will value it more having less or no access to it.

Most leveling is from events, not hearts. True especially later on. Also Tomes if you have them

ITT: People who think microsoft collecting random data is a crime. Just go to your privacy settings, turn everything you don’t want off and done.

The bigger issue with Windows 10 is that they seem to have killed the idea of turning off windows update or choosing not to install certain updates. That is actually the only real issue I have with windows 10 right now.

Same. Especially if in the middle of a raid I get lags or freezes or HOLY MOLY update requires resets and it does so automatically and you are playing game like D3 on HC.

dx12 is first and foremost gigantic leap in performance if a game is made/updated for it to utilize these benefits.

I don’t think you should.

run more condi clears ;p

Give thief rifle and bring the Commando back?

Commando is pretty much engineer so don’t count on it.

Toolbox.9375:

It’s PvP, what do you expect? Most people there take it way too seriously, and see your victory as a personal insult to them. They’ll retaliate however they think will hurt your feelings like you’ve hurt theirs.

Most people blame everything just not themself. Wrong builds, inferior skill, less knowledge but they never consider that they are at fault. Oh well. I always ignored such whispers

Haters gonna hate, scrubs gonna scrub, nooblets will still be nooblets.

What if Berserker(warrior elite) gets signets? Even though warrior already has some :S

What’s the pioint of channeling power of legends from the mist when all you do is use signets;p That’s like polar opposite. Using magical signets instead of channeling power from the mist.

OP’s version is a bit silly but why would be too long a topic.

I will just imagine my dude as being a warrior(or necro) until when Rytlock gets back and teaches people about this new source of power.

Ominous.7583:

Because giving us some sort of explanation regardless even of how abstract, is better than doing nothing. If this multiverse thing you say is real then they need to explain it better in game or have a quick explaination of it during the revenant opening cutscene. I don’t think that’s asking for much.

use your own imagination like how people do in PnP games

I certainly aim for it to be my main along my <3 egineer

Instead of that I would rather have more options like grouping by category and so on. Also Search options looking for key words besides names like ‘food’ and would find everything that is in that category inside your backs.

Tbh I will settle for Exotic armors purchased with karma like zerk etc and some crafted + ascended jewelery. Don’t know yet what will be good.

Got TOKs and Scrolls and so on though.

Want to play it a lot.

Not needed at all.

Kidel.2057:

Killyox.3950:

He always has 5 skills for X legend. Period. He cannot pick different skills. That is a huge advantage and has to be covered for in other places.

You mean “disadvantage”, right?

My main concern here is that Jalis elite wasn’t changed at all. Still unusable.

Yeah I do

/15chars

Human. Most armors look the best on them.

Don’t do it. Simple as that. I don’t do them, don;t care about them and am fine.

Also “hate” is such a strong word. People “hate” stuff all the time as well as find things often “disgusting” (also a misuse of the term)

It doesn’t matter if he’s alive or not. Same with Malyx and every other legend. As long as they made their imprint in the mists that’s all that matters. Mists are past, present and future, all at te same time.

No thanks. Play engineer:P

Leveling build called Scroll-to-20-Tome-to-80

You dislike them, I quite like them. Opinions vary.

Drones are 99% sure Stance skill type animation. Nothing else.

We’re not getting signets. That’s for sure. Probably Stances.

Treetoptrickster.4205:

I wonder if we’re going to get the Reaper’s chill treatment, but with burning.

Don’t think so. We already got some decent condition options with pistols/bombs etc. Sounds more like a Power/melee/Fury driven spec.

lordkrall.7241:

But the game engine is built for DirectX 9. You can’t just magically push a button and have it use DirectX 12. If that was the case why would any game ever use anything other than the latest version?

WOW could provide DX11 client from DX9 so could GW2 if ANet focused on it. That would be a huge performance boost.

Genesis.8572:

It could use a rename that makes it sound like a proper heroic e-spec and not just a furnace.

Furnace actually sounds better than forge. Would still pref Demolisher.

Almost 90 tomes of knowledge and lots of 20lvl scrolls. I can do

You cannot demand anything ;p

Aetherblade will probably drop in price now alone from the possibility of them being rotated in and people kittenting their pants that skins they got may be worth like 10-20x less than what they put them up for.

So you blame ANet for you own lack of knowledge about economics? I made thousands of gold investing long term (because I seldom play and hate grinding. Never did dungeon in GW2 pretty much).

Like buying ~15000 wintersday mat that was like 40 copper and in 6-8 months selling it for 30 silver.

You got only yourself to blame. I can risk doing that because I actually have master’s degree in economics so i know a bit of this and a bit of that. For people who don;t understand how markets work it’s sure way to lose your gold.

Why isn’t there -1 option and just +1 ?

Supportish debuffer? Area Control ?

What would Rev’s elite spec fill as far as role goes. That is important. Signets are 99,9% sure to be Glint spec thing.

Character slot.

TZZZZKZZ SSHHSHRRHRSHRHRR WOOOOOOSH

Mace

/fifteencharacters

Engineer’s Elite Spec regardless of what it is. Probably Demolisher or something.

After that I guess Reaper & Chronomancer then Dragon Hunter then Tempest

Jordo.5913:

This is what I would have wanted

Wouldn’t mind if it had like 240s CD.

Doesn’t look creative at all tbh. Just more of the same. I would be very disappointed if they made something like this.

stof.9341:

I think it’s confirmed that we won’t get the underwater weapons on land :o

Also, I don’t understand people that want the Rifle weapon. I hardly see how a new ranged weapon will help the thief, especially one that looks like it’s mostly single target focused. Do people really want something they can use to weakly autoattack stuff at 1200 range? That will help how? In WvW zerg fights?

There’s a reason rifle is the less used weapon : it’s cause it has no style nor class ! Engineer at least made something useful out of it by turning it into a shotgun :p

2000 range sniper/sharpshooter/marksman…YEAAAH! One can dream

They also said that Rev is the first profession that uses staff as melee. While not saying thief won’t get it I am rather sceptic. What purpose would staff have? What would be the spec’s name ? Waht sort of U-skills would it get?

Bloodyx.5946:

The S/S build is so kittening tight. WHY HAVEN’T THIEVES GOT SOMETHING LIKE THIS ANET? S/S is something the entirety of the thief community has wanted for FIVE YEARS. Are you so elitist Anet that you think you know better what we want than we do?

Honestly, with the release of Tempest and the bad to the straight up bizarre choices by the various dev teams, I want to know who is in charge over there at Anet. Who OK’d warhorn for eles? Who is pushing Stronghold as a game mode? Why is thief getting a rifle or staff? Where is this coming from?

I do not understand what is going on.

At the very least, make S/x (preferably sword/dagger) viable in sPVP. You guys give away S/S to revenant and make the trait lines constantly have the word “assassin” in it, but thieves get shafted.

This is the most disorientating development cycle of any game I’ve ever seen. Are there just not enough employees at Anet? Does Anet just have a terrible decision making system?

Anet, you guys already have us watching and waiting, why not just listen to your community and actually make a great game? You guys ask us for feedback and use basically none of it unless there’s something egregiously broken.

Am I a kitten and alone in feeling this way or not?

Just because you would like something different doesn’t mean there aren’t people who actually like what ANet has done.

I would actually pref Rifle on my thief than OH sword. Fixed traps and better venoms. That’s about it.

Ask friends for stability? Guardian shout, rev IR and so on ? No class should have everything at all times. There is cost to everything cost for being powerful is having no stability for this effect. Because of that the effect is stronger. If they gave it stability they would also make it weaker because of less interplay and less counters.

Thief=/= assassin and shiro has no stealth. It’s not really better than what thief has.

OH sword or rifle imo. Rifle would be a TRUE single target long range weapon (because pistols aren’t ;p). Elite spec Sniper or Marksman or Hawkeye or Sharpshooter.

I wonder if it could reduce COST for Rev skills which have no CD :P

Different classes are different. Different syngergy, traits and power in regard to other skills and how class works. You cannot compare it 1 to 1 on its own.

They are busy making 2 for the engineer.
