Guild Wars 2

AmberUK.5380:

Aren’t they adding something called adventure boards?

It’s PVE exclusive I think.

Jski.6180:

One week event and wvw is dead i see.

If it was that easy to remove you from a game type for a game are you sure you like RvR as much as you say you do? DAoC made a lot of bad chose from what i understand that pushed most ppl out of there game (or they would be playing that game now and not GW2).

Every thing has potential when its not out or when your not playing it becuse then its just your own mind to make things up but when you sit down and realty think things out you find that your ideal of potential end up being comply unrealistic for real RvR set up.

I will completely disregard your first sentence since it shows that you didn’t properly read my post. I’ve been playing WvW since beta and I remain neutral towards the golem rush event.

DaoC made many mistakes, I agree. However, it was not the reason why the game died. It pretty much lost the war with WoW (In its golden age) in the subscription market, just like countless other games. I really see no shame there.

I know this might not be the best moment for this post with all the negativity around (let’s be honest, this subforum has been like that for a long time). kitten it, I’ll post it anyway.

So much potential… just left behind. It could easily have been the greatest RvR experience for years to come, with a little love and commitment. I am aware that resources are limited, but seeing what other game developers can pull off with a limited budget (both Indie and AAA) makes me wonder how disorganized ArenaNet really is.

DaoC, while outdated, just trumps WvW in so many ways, despite its terrible graphics. It was fun, incredibly rewarding and encouraged strategic play. WvW still has so much room for improvement.

I really don’t know if I should laugh or cry at this point. 2 and a half years without real communication and interaction between the devs and the wvw player base. It really feels like a hefty smack in the face.

I don’t want to play the doomsayer or anything but if WvW doesn’t get any meaningful updates this year then I don’t see a future for this game mode. Of course, it will always be filled with PVE players looking for karma but the players that love mass scale pvp will leave sooner or later.

A new map is nice and all, but we need fundamental changes like factions or alliances, immersion, real consequences, strategic play and most importantly smart avenues of communication between devs and player base.

Maybe it just wasn’t meant to be. Thanks for reading.

Edit: No TL:DR. Read it, it’s a short text.

Grimaldi.8532:

Artistic expression!

Skip this week if you don’t like it… Not my cup of tea either. They certainly are not gonna remove it, lol.

Plenty of other stuff to do in the summer days. Get a tan, barbecue, etc etc…

This is common knowledge on Baruch Bay and Jade sea. They have mastered this to perfection.

You NEED To read this in shiro’s voice, it’s hilarious.

2015 is a great year for games. Will be there as well. See ya there, all.

It’s just for one week for kittens sake.

They ignored this problem for far too long, do not expect any fixes whatsoever. Really, don’t.

You and your friends need to transfer up or stay. Simple as that.

Let’s see… I play wvw since december 2012 and killed 5792 yaks.

At this rate it will take me 345 years to get the achievement.

No biggie !

You got this! I’m rooting for you!

Thanks mate. I’ll make sure to eat enough lemongrass poultry soup to get this old.

And if I don’t, I’ll take my laptop into the grave.

Raif.9507:

“Walking in and out of Ring of Fire stacks too much (and too long) burn stacks.
Stop walking in and out of it. -Grouch”

That made me laugh.

lol

EthanLightheart.9168:

I really don’t see a problem here. It lasts only 2 seconds and is a master trait…
Even a warriors hammer attack disabel speople longer, not to talk about all the mesmer interrupting.

It’s BUGGED. Reading comprehension so hard?

Considering that landing all 5 projectiles on a target happens once in a blue moon, it might as well hit like a truck.

Kamikazi.5380:

Thieves tend to be gankers and roamers. Some are like Velociraptors that travel in groups to kill low skill targets. Thief players are probably the saltiest players in the game, a common trait Rogue players in MMOs have. They tend to be obnoxious and arrogant and don’t like losing.

This is spot on haha.

People are just too kittening lazy to go to appropriate spots. No one is gonna interrupt your duel behind the mill at SC or in the obsidian sanctum.

Thanks for your thoughts guys. I assumed that results will vary depending on which pet you use.

Birds it is!

Using the same trait spread as you, except for beastly warden. I think the radius is a bit too small?

Sigils hydro leeching on sword and energy intelligence on gs.

Really fun build.

What do you think about this trait?

Zephyr’s speed seems superior?

Haven’t really tested it yet.

Mortar meta boys.

1/5 uptime when traited is op in my eyes, but hey, its not my game and not my job to balance. :P

TBH, the only thing I like about it is the new aura.

Radius is way too small.

Yeah, really cool. The harbor reminds me a little of barcelona haha.

Exciton.8942:

So I guess I have to play staff for now?

Yeah.

Can’t use the 2nd part of the skill after dodging.

Can anyone confirm?

DrMundo.2896:

Because zerker engi in spve is still trash.

I don’t recommend living under rocks.

5 man engi teams inc. Oh wait, déjà-vu.

It’s kind of hilarious what one interrupt can proc if you get all the traits.

- stun (if you daze)
- 3 seconds quickness
- 800 damage?
- 5 seconds weakness
- interrupted skill is put on a 15 second recharge
- recharge 25% of your pistol skills
- 2 stacks of AoE confusion
- 2 second immobilize + another condition
- 5 stacks of might for 10 seconds + another boon
- 3 second slow

The qq will be strong.

For the extra lulz:

Use continuum shift afterwards and do it again!!! Hahahaha this will be glorious.

Edit: added slow

All I wanted is lockdown to get some love and I am happy it did.

Jon said the trait was boring and will see a change. How is it any better now??? 90 additional toughness does NOT make it any less boring.

You can do better, Karl. kitten .

Did someone spit in your food? Jeez

WvW was amazing for roamers in the first year. Theorycrafting, testing new builds and finding enemies every 2-3 minutes. Fun times. Nowadays… Zergs, PvD, Cannonhuggers. Blergh. No thanks.

The majority of decent players have quit, are playing pvp or taking a break, thus leaving roamers to fight zerglings. Not my definition of fun.

The rest has been covered already.

style.6173:

The issue is the whole concept of pulsing stability. It should be removed. It takes away counterplay from the game. Even If I clear their stability or use a CC to remove their stack, they just get it back in another couple of seconds.

Bad game design.

You prefer people playing ping pong with you?

It’s a fun build. My bud and I like to call it the man mode guardian.

Wish torch #5 was better, though.

serenke.4806:

If they are charr or asura, just res them up to 99% and then jump on their face for a bit.

This is the only correct answer!

Kraljevo.2801:

Reading/researching is hard. /s

Short answer. No.

Then why the heck do they some things say “outgoing healing” while others say “healing to allies” if they both mean that the bonus doesn’t affect you?

ANet and tooltips hehe… No consistency whatsoever.

Reading/researching is hard. /s

Short answer. No.

[Insert Witcher 3 comment #123442423]

In all seriousness, it’s a fantastic rpg. Don’t miss out, unless you have a potato computer. :P

Tristan.5678:

No thnaks 40euro for 1 weapon for each class and reworked traits ? maybe a few maps …
Not worth …. max I’m willing to give is 20 Euro and only to check what Necro Great Sword is about …

Yeye you will buy it either way…

That fail at the end. :P

tadeo.6950:

This is a questions for European WvW players mainly?
Do you have something against Baruch Bay server? Why do you, more than less, go together against the Spanish server, doing 2 vs 1 most of the time? Is there any hidden reason we, in Baruch Bay, don´t know?
Thank you

Hahahahahahaha

Oh wait, you are being serious?

Edit: Forgot the video.

steve.2945:

it’s because a good bit of the community doesn’t have a a sense of humor,overly sensitive,hate everyone but themselves, and think they’re so mature, they have to look down on everyone else, or they feel themselves are as smart as einstein. Honestly, those kinds of people shouldn’t be playing video games at all.

Couldn’t agree more man.

Boring video. Show highlights next time pls.

Solori.6025:

I’m proud of my liver.
It has allowed me to out-drink some of my friends and remember their drunken shenanigans.

Amen.

Haha I feel you OP. Had a terrible notebook with kittenty gpu and cpu and recently bought a new one. It’s like a different game lol.

SSD is also fantastic, had loading screens of 20-30 sec and now around 4-5.

MithranArkanere.8957:

Some people forget this is a game.

You play it for fun.

If you have fun in WvW, that’s the advantage.

Agree.

Well it depends.

With 2/1/6/1/4 you are looking at a balanced build, it has sustain and good damage.
With 2/5/6/0/1 you are going for full blown damage, so its either kill or get killed.
IMO, that dmg modifier is going to help you more than the vigor (In your specific build). Inspiried virtue is basically a must-have in any pvp/wvw guardian build and therefore I would go 2/5/6/0/1.

I recommend going 2/1/6/1/4 or 0/1/6/1/6 though because the condition removal and stability are more often than not gonna save you in outnumbered situations.

Oh and, I wouldn’t ask Reddit, most players there are PVE only, judging by the numerous polls.
