Trying to find a nice entertaining WVW stream group. Any suggestions?
Why do people quit the game after reaching 80..? Its because they are only interessted in PvE and Anet keep making temporary content, so there is nothing for players to keep playing for…
Well how about some long term PvE. How about some PvE that are designed for long term interest and progression.
Add raids. Raids are fun. That’s more people happy in the long run. Add player made dungeons. Again more long term content.
Add housing system. Again more long term content.
Add a naval system and a ocean to explore and hunt treasure in like Zelda Wind Waker.
I missed the news. Can somebody sum up what the big nerf was?
I like banners the way they are, as environmental weapons. But would like the skills to be more unique and cool in their own way. Don’t mind dropping them for myself as well as others to use.
Warrior downed state is currently functioning in a manner that is neither fair, nor fun. I don’t presume to speak for the entire class, but imagine many others would agree with me. It’s both OP and UP at the same time.
OP: In downed battles (a 1v1/2v2 where you and an opponent down one another at the same time) it’s an IWIN button. You can literally get back up, and spike your foe. And if traited, you’re now alive for realz.
UP: It has a long pre-cooldown before the skill becomes available, meaning most of the time (90-95% in my experience) you wont be able to use it before being spiked or killed off. In small skirmishes where an opponent of mine DOES manage to vengeance, all I need to do is kite/control him till he drops dead. Warrior vs Warrior, I find this to be incredibly easy. Sometimes if I’m feeling trolly, I’ll let a warrior I downed vengeance just so I can kite, cripple, immob, and dodge around watching their life tick away.
Here is what I suggest changing it to:
1. Throw Axe: Mechanically identical to throw rock but… cmon, what warrior throws pebbles?!
2. Thrash: Functions like the stomp physical skill, damaging and blowing out nearby foes.
3. Vengeance: Stand back up to fight normally, but your health remains in the downed state, and continues to bleed out. Your #6 skill is locked. Allies cannot “revive” you. You’re you’re immune to all heals. However every melee attack heals you for 10% of the damage you inflict. Killing an opponent will instantly rally you (same as when traited now).Thoughts? Flames? Constructive Feedback?
Idea sounds great. Now lets test it to make sure
How about making Healing Surge into a shout that also heals ally. This way warriors get a heal for support at low levels before level 60 that isn’t just a regen.
Drop down menus would make this site immensely more user friendly.
If you want to get really crazy, link up the queried data with a game map to have visual representation of the events as well.
Also a hyperlink to the wiki page about that event could prove insightful for users as well.
Overall, great work and nice compilation of info. Most event status pages I have seen are restricted to a few high-vis events and do not show the whole zone like you have.
I agree with this. Make it on map so its easier to find these events
Why do we need another “death of WoW” thread? Who cares what other people play? You should be invested in a game you like – not a game you play specifically to see another one fail.
GW2 needs some desperate TLC to keep going strong for more than just another 6mo to a year.
That’s why I noted first, in the first sentence that this is using the term WoW killer, not literal meaning. The term. Some phrases are terms that are different from literal meaning.
Bosses need phases. That’s the problem. They need phases to the fight.
If GW2 was anything like Rift, I know I would NOT be playing it, and even less giving 20€ or more worth of gems per month to the developers.
There’s some things like housing and mounts that I hope to see in GW2 someday, but other things like raiding that would make me quit immediately.Agreed! Now if Anet would give us Professions and skills like we had in GW in the open world of GW2 then you would have a game that is not faltering and on verge of loosing it’s playerbase.
GW2 is much different from GW1. But at first most of you said you hated many of the ideas until it was revealed during Gw2 revealing.
To me it seem like people are just scared of what’s different and what they don’t understand.
This seem cool. Lol
Y’know if Margonites were still around, I wouldn’t have to do this myself!!..
…
/e * claws own eyeballs out *
What’s this you trying to say that you can’t say with your own words? You confuse me.
Great site. Very great
I agree with the OP. the game UI make it a drag to switch traits and builds. Far easier just to switch to a different class to address issues…
How fast is fast? Even without crafting you can hit max in a few days.
But if its not fun, why do it? Better yet why have it at all?
Leveling isn’t whats fun about the game. Playing what I want to full intent is. I like others want to play WvW with a class that has full access to builds. I can’t do that with the current system. It only scales my level.
Try playing a support Warrior without being level 60. You don’t get a heal for others that’s effective until level 60 from traits.
Stuff like that is just bad game design. Fun should start from day one first level. Not 60 levels later…
What’s the issue at hand people? Can somebody explain the story behind the original problem?
Note meaning WoW killer as in the term not literal meaning…
But these to games, if both were mixed together would be a super great AAA title.
What I like about Rift:
*the huge list of class or souls as they call them.
*Talent trees
*AA system
*Large interesting MetaEvents that are fun
*Instanced PvP modes vary and are fun and unique
*Trinity PvE
*Raiding
*Housing
*2hander Axes :-)
*Mounts
*Lore
What I like about Guild Wars 2:
*Individual smaller events are interesting and make world feel alive
*Meta Bosses look more interesting
*WvW concept was neat
*Armor and Weapon Models are good high fantasy that I like
*Cities are large and unique
*level scaling
*PvP auto scales, this goes with level scaling but believe it deserves its own, its that good
*Hybrid Action combat
*Races
*World Size
Lets mix these two, but plus some few features added on like:
Naval Combat with Ships and other naval vehicles to explore the sea and battle monsters and other players in WVW.
Imagine linking all the WvW maps together using Naval combat between maps.
Also some Arial Combat would be nice as well. Some dragon rider bombers and Gryphin rider bombers. Imagine these two fighting it out int he air to defend against bombers and to do their own bombing. But watch out for NPC Dragon Legion which wants to destroy all servers. Yikes!!
Also how about better crafting system that’s more like mini games?
nothing in computers are truly random. remember that.
crap
/lock plz
Any E3 News on GW2?
Hey can we get Car mounts now so we have a Trunk for some extra space to carry stuff?
I’ll pit my Galic Gun against your Kamehameha any day.
YOUR POWER LEVEL IS AMAZING!!! IT’S OVER 9000!!!
I disagree. seems under 9000!! if you ask me.
AB with 20 vs 20 would be cool.
or even 40 vs 40 with hybrid features of WvW but the balance of SpvP.
Seem too cool to ever happen.
is there an alternative to guildwarstemple timer?
Because its not very actuate and has lots of trolls. I was wondering if there was a better alternative.
Warrior level 80
Guardian level 80
Engineer level 33
Ele level 30
Necro level 17
Thief level 13
Ranger level 14
Mesmer level 20
Stand O vation @ OP
This game would be better if it had an automatic LFG tool like WoW does, but built into the game instead of third party sites.
Leveling would be much more fun, since finding groups for dungeons would be much easier.
Honestly the Hearts are boring, and crafting is no fun. So not many other ways to level that are fun other than events, WvW, and Dungeons.
Problem is, most events cant be soloed with all classes, especially now that the population dropped in most zones.
WvW you have to be on the winning side for good exp for your time. otherwise its a waste of time.
Dungeons, well hard to find groups since the way the game is designed it segregates the player base. Most people no longer want to do story mode anymore and stuff like that. pretty poor design. Hard to find groups.
a LFG would at least solve one of those issues.
PvE class balance.
that not a feature
I am surprised there were only 1 WoW Easteregg reference.
I dont understand the concept.
What is it?
How do you counter the dragon-timer trolls on your server?
Because WPing around been eating up my coins. had a gold, and now down to a few silvers from WPing to events that were already started or finished.
Whats your methods to counter the Dragon-Timer trolls?
but also more for lower levels. I use to like doing Maw fights to level up. But that was until they nerfed the bosses to no longer reward chest or decent exp after the first fight per day.
very events for low levels bring in population like meta chest events do.
I must admit, many meta events people just dont do anymore for some reason.
I totally agree that we need baseline fixes for turrets—health, armor, AI—before anything like this. I was just daydreaming.
I disagree. I agree with the OP. This trait would make people and enemies focus on fighting the turrets rather than ignore them, because the turrets effect the field of battle.
Whats some builds for leveling up low level pre 30?
I ask the community
Do you like the current Trait system for customization, or would you like something new and different kind of advancement system?
Usually such big changes like this happen in expansions in WoW. So I know its a successful practice. But was wondering how you all feel about such changes here in GW2.
I honestly not a big fan of the current trait system. It sound cool on paper when first was told about the system, but didnt know it would be the only method other than stats from gear to customize other than skillbar of course.
Its very limited, and the passives are very boring sometimes. Also many of the options in traits are dull and not interesting.
Please Anet, please I am begging, please add more Meta chest events to the game for all levels.
Meta Chest events are the closes thing we have to PvE raids. And its the only events that bring together the masses like PvE raiding in traditional MMOs do.
Tired of running the same few on these super long cooldown wait periods.
Please add more to the cycle.
Please add more. This gives us more fights in between cooldown wait periods.
How about adding Naval combat and aerial combat vehicles and mechanics.
Also add Meta events to WvW that are WvW themed after server’s unique and personal hero NPC. 1 per server or multiple. but they have to be unique to the server.
also add a special kind of crafting to the WvW. The resources from WvW and not bought. Special WvW crafting, that functions as a mini game instead of the same click and make crafting the other professions use. So the more skilled you are at crafting mini game the stronger stuff you make. all skill based. So people on the server gain rep based on their WvW crafting skills.
Also add moving sieges. that deal with players more so than walls.
And reduce damage of some of the sieges on players.
Increase NPCs for servers. have them wander around and take multiple players to take down instead of solo.
@Crystal Desert do we have official twitter? or something to communicate outside of the game that isnt vent/ts ?

Well, other profession’s skills have damaging warhorn attacks, so I guess it’s relevant for them…
But yeah, it’s a bit odd that a level 1 warhorn can be just as effective as a level 80 exotic warhorn for warriors, in terms of base damage (obviously the exotic has other stuff on it).
but thats my point. lots of item enhancements dont work for our warhorn since it doesnt attack.
How is blowing into a Warhorn a shout?
Shout into it to amplify your voice. like a chant or shout.
this waypoint tends to root me in place when I spawn here. My character sometimes display body and sometimes it wont. But cant move camera or visual body from location of waypoint. But can move to dragon body to attack, but you wont be able to see this since body model and camera stay at the waypoint. I discovered this when I was spaming my melee attacks while stuck at waypoint and noticed damage numbers against the dragon. later on the game ported me to the location near the dragon.
agree with you on this
A couple day’s ago I quoted an 80’s movie reference (They Live) while about to fight a boss. The next morning in Metrica Province I actually saw a golem say near the exact same quote (a word was changed due to being a cuss word but was still an awesome find. What Movie refrences have you seen ingame?
Here’s the movie quote and the pic of the golem quoting him.
Hey from that video I thought that was a Duke Nukem quote….
correct me if I am wrong…
here is an idea for an Elite Shout..
“COME AT ME BRO!!!”
Pull target to you and roots, and deals damage to nearby enemies, apply weakness and variability, and cause nearby enemies to Bleed for a long duration with few stacks.
Heals nearby allies for the damage done after 7 seconds. 28 second cooldown.
Perhaps the return of some more GW1 shouts would be appropriate for an elite
both seem pretty bad for an elite shout. the regen just doesnt stack in this game to make it worth a thing when we have regen on banners or from other players like Ele and Guards.
I like to be closer to them in terms of Support. right now this not cutting it.
How you feel about Big Target’s targeting mechanics in the game?
Like when you trying to target a large creature that may have multiple attack points.
How do you like it?
For me I been having issues targeting these locations on large monsters especially when I am locked to a Melee weapon build.
Because the melee range is so close that the game wont even show damage numbers if I am actually hitting the spot. So none of my melee swings feel like they are connecting.
Feel pretty forced to bring ranged weapons, because you never know when a boss will spawn like this that has this “Big Boss Tag Targeting” mechanic.
I dont like force. I like freedom. Seem like it was a good idea on paper, but badly done.
Need more indications that we are actually hitting the target spots, and maybe some better visual highlight for target spot locations so the more melee oriented players can still see where to aim short range attacks, and ground targeting attacks, especially when the “Big Boss Tag Targeting” spots moved around.
Again share your thoughts. if you agree or disagree. please explain why for sake of any discussion.
“FIX THIS kitten”: Gives Protection, Regeneration and 1 Stack of Aegis, say for hell 20 secs? Well Aegis will be gone for good once you get hit of course but yeah. Say a 1 and a half minutes cool down?
another Regen tho? man come on,,, they dont stack…
None of our Warhorn skills seem to deal damage, so the weapon damage seems pointless. I guess its nothing but a stat stick. I rarely used it in the past, but was giving it a shot today.
opinions?
How would you feel if it was buffed to add damage attack to the skill?
Would any of you like an Elite Shout for Warriors? this way we could carry 4 shouts into battle as a support role Warrior.
If so, how would you like the elite shout to function?
Keep in mind we talking about Elites here, meaning you will be sacrificing this skill in replace of other elites like the Rez Banner or Signet of Rage. So make it good enough replacement.
