Guild Wars 2

@Aelona, buahahahahah i will give you supply crate any day of the week for moa morph. How can you even compare other elites to it.

guess my 440 hours in GW2 are all imaginary.

AdelaisAer.4109:

Kodans please. I would love to be one. Think of it as a second charr-race. They aren’t feline, but they are animals/beasts. It’d be nice.

Would love some Kodan Cloak :P

Dynamite.6584:

It’s a fantasy game.
In my fantasies, my chicks are busty as kitten.

The majority of guys like them big. Therefore, you’ll see it more in a game where you can make your own character.

+1000000000

That is law of the universe!

SundayTrash.9562:

Why is every female toon D+ size, it as if flat are non existing.

Flats would be mistaken for males;p

Besides there is no bounce animation for flats, and all these bounce nicely in-game. Makes you wonder how much time they spent getting them right lol.

What about it?

You have no toughness and you didnt do anything at all. You stood there like a vegetable if that thief was you. Not a blind, not an immobilize, nothing.

L2P issue.

God, eventually Elder Dragon.

Truth of the world, you can’t make everyone happy; people will leave regardless.

Tbh i don’t need weapon swapping. I do need kits proccing weap swap sigils though. Once they fix and make FT and ToolKit and Elixir Gun more useful, even as main weapons with rifle/pistols acting as support, i won’t mind lack of weap swap at all.

I like kit swapping and the fact i got no CD on it and unlike Ele am not limited to 2 range or type of skills.

@Lyuben, bombkit for example is not at all inferior to any weapon. We need other kits to be equally good.

My only complaint in regard to Bomb Kit is skill #1. 2-5 are fantastic.

ummmm ok so

SteelSeries SHIFT + Logitech G500
Forward – W
Backward – S

Strafe Right – D
Weapon Skill – 1,2,3,4,5
Heal – Side Mouse Button #1

And i still can bind a lot of crap to keyboard, or record macros, or bind a lot more things to mouse (scroll to left & right and scroll clicked and so on).

@OP, sorry but “running solo was not an option” is utter BS to say it simple.

I soloed every map. Every map i did i completed 100% of it including all Orr maps and did so rather easily.

Soloing is very very possible and quite easy at that too.

Clearly you didn’t read my post. When I said running solo was not an option i was refering to sPvP. And I also said with the builds I was using.

Runnng solo in sPvP is also an option. You just need proper build. Question is; why would you like to run solo if zerg yields a lot more points? That and also meeting enemy zerg doesn’t end well for your health

Pick up a good build and you can run around solo stomping people. I often win 1v2 1v3.

Raging Bull.5048:

I agree, I could have not.

But dungeons were announced as really awesome, which they turned out not to be.

DEs were announced as really awesome, which they turned out not to be.

PvP was announced as really awesome, which it turned out not to be.

So no, I don’t have a crystal ball nor am I psychic. I trusted the company so many people “vouched” for, based on GW1 experiences. And it’s the last time I bought a game straight upon release. I should know better to wait for reviews and try the game myself first.

Sorry but all of these are just YOUR OPINION. With which quite frankly i wholeheartedly disagree.

The only thing that can kill me 1v1 atm is very pro pro mesmer (almost non existent) or very pro pro condi contro necro.

Everything else is food

/engineer

With how things are currently mesmer is easy because he can get the job done with little effort.

I only ever met 1 decent team in tPvP so far.

Dalingrin.1035:

Xhaiden is right. This is one of the worst launches and the game has less features than any previous MMO at launch….oh wait, that’s not true at all.

This is easily one of the most feature rich MMO at launch…ever. I can’t believe folks don’t have just a little bit of patience to let ArenaNet prioritize fixes post launch.

They’ve said many times prior to launch that additional eSport features would come post launch. Either people didn’t get the memo or they have unrealistic expectations that a bunch of new features would be added a week or two after release of one of the biggest games in history.

I play mmos since 1997 and played MANY betas/releases of MANY games. GW2 had one of the best releases ever. There are people who expect AN to launch 100% finished game with features worth of 7 years bonus of developing.

Yes it has less features, it’s been 7 years less on the market than WOW… .

People nowadays have stupid expectations.

So +1 dalingrin

Zaroua.2714:

Have the devs ever answered that question? Why does one of the best conditions in the game need to prevent you from moving AND acting when it is cast and when it is removed?

It is one of the best because it PRECISELY prevents you from moving…lol.

Use condition removal or skill that remove immobilize. Easy.

It better be worth reading.

Ladder/ELO system is needed. Paid Tournaments are needed. Balance Patch (big one) is needed. Observers/spectactor wouldn’t be bad either.

PS

What happened to plans of launching armory-like service for GW2 along with GW2 release? Where is the mobile app for it as well?

Huh? What, are people already crying about it? What happened to all the bragging “if you don’t spot the real mesmer in 0,5s from a fake then you are bad” ????

Yes, it is annoying, yes it is intended, yes it is the only defense mesmers really have. Is it OP ? No it’s not. Can i tell them apart? Yes, almost always but not always instantly.

Clones aren’t half bad. Phantasm dmg and shatters are worse;p

Here i am… winning 450-60 with enough points to get 50 win glory bonus but NOOO i get moved to other team and screwed in my digital behind :P

I think only silly people can say Moa Morph is fine. Long cast? Dodgeable? Yeah, try to see that specific animation in all the particle effects.

Oh… AND CAST IT FROM STEALTH! Hard right? It’s OP and that’s a fact. Needs to be brought down to 5 sec TOPS

Sounds like butthurt instead of any valid arguments.

Give it some time geez. It’s been out for a month. I am also waiting for first big balance and pvp oriented patch but i don’t exaggerate things and take them out of dark place.

It’s a valid problem but an effect of bad design on dev side.

Right now the the points gain promotes point trading and not fighting.

Winning is just a small bonus and % based on your total point gained. Little points = little bonus for winning.

System promotes point farming instead of fighting to win because:
-8 people stand on point capping it for points instead of 1 guy capping it and other 7 going to keep for example or svanir
-thre is absolutely no point in defending the points because you lose on not capping other points and lose on potential neutralize + cap

That and many others. Unless ArenaNet changes it to something like GLOBAL points (everyone on Team X gets points for everything) or something similar it will remain like it is now.

I stopped playing to “win” some time ago already since it was simply bad for glory points.

Played to win: 50-100 points
Played for points: 350-500

I only play to win in tournaments.

@Sorrow, try again after using it in sPvP please. People in WvWvW have barely any skills unlocked.

@OP, every argument you make is invalid because FT simply blows.

The only useful thing there is Air Blast.

Skill #1 will get you killed really fast if you hit anyone with retaliation up. If heaven forbid you hit 3 ppl with retal (and there is a lot of aoe retal there) you will almost instagib yourself.

1 second of Flame Jet = 5 hits. Retal lets assume hits for 350 easily with little to no power. If you hit 3 people then you receive 5250 DMG in 1 second. That’s 10500 dmg in 2 seconds…..i.e. full channel of #1 on FT.

And because everyone and their mom has retaliation atm it’s basically suicidal weapon kit.

Also Flame Blast is simply kitten To have ability that does most dmg at range 600-700 when your #1 is 425 is stupid. It does almost no dmg up to range of 600 which is countereffective. It also bugs on terrain all the time.

Blind on #5 is very small AoE (melee range almost) and does 1 blind instead of couple of pulses.

Napalm Wall is meh as well. Should be circular field.

@OP

if you need naga to play engie then face it, you need to l2p. I’m perfectly fine with G500

Eles don’t need a buff. People need to L2P them. Difference between good and bad ele is just remarkably huge.

charr did not invent the guns

They are most tech advanced but that doesn’t mean they invented cannons. Charr got tanks, zeppelins, helicopters…

PinkRage.5120:

Go full inventions / turret build.
Find an area with relatively good number of mobs who do not aoe/range.
Set up Rocket, Thumper, Rifle turrets.
Ctrl Mouse 2 on thumper.

Now you are semi-afk farming. Best to do it in pairs with another engineer.
Alt tab, do whatever you want, alt tab back occasionally to collect loot.

Enjoy.

And the purpose of it? You lose bonus experience very fast. This is also boring and unimaginative.

@Violator, sorry to say but then you must be pretty bad at the game to say only 1 spec and support/heal works.

I have soled entire orr 100% of it. I used many specs for it and every spec was good. So it’s clearly L2P issue on your end.

Make #5 faster and pulling yourself to enemy instead of opposite.
Make #2 faster
Make 3rd attack in chain of #1 do AoE damage like previous 2
Make it heal turrets faster (wth 150 heals?!, sitting 5 minutes smacking turret is just dumb)
Make #3 hit in aoe

rather see current ones fixed and balanced with clear role and skills rather than being a mess (flamethrower #2 doesn’t fit the rest of weap).

As for future….. Gear Hammer?:P Swiss Knife?:P

in pvp or pve? /15chars

Candiru.5279:

Killyox.3950:

rifle just needs 2 things really.

Blunderbuss needs to be 250/500/750 range imo and max dmg at 250 range ofc. IT’s stupid to have it do max dmg at range smaller than melee. Melee has 130-150. BB hits max at 100…. that’s literally standing on your enemy.

Second fix needed is #5. It needs to be faster and smoother. AoE needs to be a bit bigger, at least landing out. Right now jump in spot takes like 2-3 seconds.

Besides those, rifle is ok.

true!
Another point… For example the warrior rifle skill 3 hits from max range harder then blunderbuss from melee range

Blunderbuss is Cone AoE and single hit. It’s a lot harder to dodge than warrior’s #3.

So….when will be able to actually take control of mortar when someone uses it?

It’s silly that if someone is using my mortar (skill) i cannot retake it……

Oh btw, that guy said retaliation doesnt benefit from might. In reality, it does.

+1

trully annoying

Kaikas.4631:

Shelledfade.6435:

necro , worst class in game at the moment in s-pvp. They’re on a level that’s worse than bad.

So you flame a lot?

Do you know what flaming is? What he did is not flaming.

Graywolf.6513:

But if Elixir X is crap, does that mean the warrior and elementalist elites are crap also?

no because both ele and warr have guarenteed effects and stats for them, unlike us

U stands for utility…..

Then your tests are stupid, seeing as how I can toss it on myself right now and gain only one of the buffs. This is sad to me seeing as how it worked as the tooltip stated in the BWE early on. I even built my entire setup around it keeping my boons up 24/7 in pvp and now I can’t because of the tooltip being wrong. It always gives ONE buff out of the list, if you’re getting some other buff from it other than the one its from traits or something else nearby.

Sorry but then you have no idea how it works. Come to Ruins of Surmia Heart of he Mists and i will gladly show you it works the way i described it. Just because you have no idea about someting doesn’t make my tests “stupid”. Your comment on the other hand was stupid.

Read again my post and maybe you will grasp it. It can give you 2 times the same buff.

yeah everyone is wrong except you =D cool story bro

EDIT:

oh lol, they patched it. Must’ve been files today.

i did report it with bug report but heh, that was fast

Or, it was never an issue?

I remember running with elixir B while just exploring zones for the swiftness, and constantly tossing elixir B on cooldown and not once did I see what you described.

I remember it working that way during the beta, but never at launch.

Are you sure you aren’t just remembering back to the beta?

Nope.

Check EDIT3

Take Potent Elixir trait, now your Toss Elixir B gives 2 boons (can give 2 times same boon, but then duration is doubled)

Then that’s an issue with a trait, not the skill itself.

I don’t see how a broken trait is relevant to a discussion of toss elixir B.

Skill is broken too because Might it gives is short and either description is messed or mechanic.

Same like increased range for rifle/elixir gun trait reduces Bleed duration on elixir gun #1 by 1 second, down from 4 to 3 or how you can use kits under effect of elixir S.

Looking for all possible bugs with engie :P

Check EDIT3

Take Potent Elixirs trait (alchemy T2), now your Toss Elixir B gives 2 boons (can give 2 times same boon, but then duration is doubled)

Toss Elixir H also gets one random short boon with Potent Elixirs taken

EDIT2: aha i seem to have found a way to replicate it, seems like a problem with certain trait.

OK

This is how it goes (clearly a bug)

Take in Alchemy T2 Potent Elixirs trait, now Toss Elixir B gives 2 boons (can give twice the same boon)

Kaikas.4631:

Shelledfade.6435:

Dude, necro is the weakest class in s-pvp if you don’t believe that then go play with some warriors or guardians against or with them, and see for yourself.

Their classes are on another level than ours is. It’s ridiculous.

I’ve tried the tank minion build and I’ve tried the offensive condition build, both suck horrendously bad.

Not going to answer your flaming.

But you already answered him…lol.

Anyways i agree that necro is the weakest and i am not necro player.

I don’t like the trait because it is SOOOO counterintuitive. It pretty much forces us to stay in FT even if just to stack MIGHT and then leave it and shoot rifle.

I would’ve preferred some skill changed (give back backdraft, and change #2 for more melee range) and give juggy retaliation + fury

underwater hands down

DPS ain’t bad, at least with bombs and power/condi/vit gear. or burst rifle spec

Tigger.8035:

Turrets need to share defensive stats with the player.

I mean even the trait that boosts them gives the player toughness, yet they die too quickly

they need to share every stat.

How annoying to have lots of condi and have your burns do 700+ and turrets ~300.

rifle just needs 2 things really.

Blunderbuss needs to be 250/500/750 range imo and max dmg at 250 range ofc. IT’s stupid to have it do max dmg at range smaller than melee. Melee has 130-150. BB hits max at 100…. that’s literally standing on your enemy.

Second fix needed is #5. It needs to be faster and smoother. AoE needs to be a bit bigger, at least landing out. Right now jump in spot takes like 2-3 seconds.

Besides those, rifle is ok.
