Guild Wars 2

WvW rank is silly because everyone in the server will have that rank. You’re better off working for a sPvP title and waiting for them to implement a related emote for that. I just bow after a good fight in WvW, jumping on corpses is reserved for unsportmanly players like theifs that take advantage of stealth+culling and other distasteful opponents.

And as for rewards, at the rate the community churns out distasteful words towards it being a grind for nothing but ego, expect it to get a buff in some way.

I would love to see more GW1 skins for weapons, GS’s look absolutely rediculous. Aslo I would like to see some proffession specific armors, +1.

Its a title, of course you want to be more noticed, but I do agree with being able to see it on yourself.

Agreed, anyone who sees this and thinks the same please 1+ for attention so that Anet can add this on their to-do list.

Please keep this civil.
Seriously, Yumcha and Vander, you two have both made your points on where you stand. Get over it. Anet has seen the complaints and will react accordingly if it is deemed an exploit or definitely OP(which I believe it is, and organized player can easily wipe groups of 1-10) . If you want to complain and be hostile, take it to PM or anywhere else really.

Of course its possible, I would also like to see a title for this.

The only reason I can think of that would make this request difficult is the fact that it is very likely that they may add/delete dyes.

But also for you other title hunters, expect many more titles to be created for other deeds you have done.

Everyone please keep this civil, I don’t want another Fpvp battle closing this thread so two more pop up.

Throwing in my two cents now, I think it is completely OP that a single theif can kill 7 players (most Ive seen soloed) due to the fact that they can stealthstomp as much as they want too. Stealth simply needs to go poof when stomping.

Although stability was not intended to be part of this thread, I think that boon needs to be reworked similar to the defiant monster boon, where a single control effect would remove a stack of the boon. More on topic with others complaints, stability also needs to go upon stomping, for goodness sake you’re jumping 4 foot into the air and conjuring a spear flying 200 miles an hour, you are anything but stable doing this.

I believe one of the titles adds a gold “badge” besides your name. I’d also like to see more of these badges. Say Ive earned the yakslapper title, why not have a little picture showing someone slap a yak next to my name.

Other than that, for people that have done titles that take tremendous amounts of time AND effort (time based titles are silly without other requisites) why not add additional character frames? The same system used for npc’s basic, veteran, champion, and legendary status is what I’m referring to. If I was one of the five players in the world that beat so and so, one of the most difficult parts of this game, I would love to show off my legendary status because I simply am legendary.

Edit- Some of the hard to earn titles in GW1 had special emotes tied to your rank, Id like to see these comeback.

Anet has stated that charr and asura will remain the way they are, they have seen complaints like this and they want them to be the way they are, after all they make the game not you. Anyone else who thinks about wasting their time on this thread don’t and do not make similar ones, Anet will close this thread soon enough.

Catisa.6507:

due to the number of bots that have swarmed this game, I no longer help nor rez anyone without them vocalizing a request for help/rez.

I do the same thing and would advise everyone else to do so, this may show Anet that it is fine to lower the cost of repair and WP.

To give a more specific example, I like attempting to 2v1 up to 4vs1, just to spot patterns in peoples behavior that give clues to who I can take on, I take note of passives, armor, yadda yadda. But in this one instance, I mangaged to down 1 and get the other to 1/2 health before being downed myself. Thats when I can count on my fellow unfortunately unintelligent player to come along. The guy doesn’t bother attacking the downed player, instead he goes straight for the other, the enemy pair finishes me off, and then proceeds to take down the other player while both of them started at low health and were distracted.

Anyways getting back on topic, Ive probably lost a good amount repairing and using WP due to other players actions and I sure wouldn’t mind seeing the prices drop, but I don’t care if they stay the same either.

The only time I see it as unfair is if Im with an idiot that won’t revive and won’t attack the enemy Im attacking that has almost no health, but enough to where I can’t rally on my own. I used to not care about repairing and WP, but lately its been rediculous, I think its averages to about 6 out of 10 times that people won’t bother reviving me(when its clearly safe too) or being even remotely concerned about other players, so the cost have been a bit more than what Im used to paying.

Im fine with the current system, but the players are where the problem is at. I don’t think things need changed because people are inconsiderate, it’s just one of the unfortunate things that happens because of it.

I think it would be fine if you could have two spec layouts, but be able to switch between them freely only within towns or by talking to a trainer.

I think that would be nice, either that or no stealth allowed inside capzones.

Ive opened 6 chest, 2 with keys from a different chest. Anyways, I don’t think the problem is the super low drop rate, my biggest problem is that I have so many chest with nothing to do with them and no incentive to open them. If either of those problems were solved I think no one would care. As Gad suggested, drops actually worth the 125 gems would be nice.

My suggestion is that we should be able to throw them in the mystic forge for a low chance to get an unlocked chest, or something else in return.

The party thing would be nice sometimes, like when a player comes to close and steals a buff not intended for them, but maybe you want to give this nonparty member a buff, but due to this system you suggest it goes to your party member. As for npc’s same thing applies, maybe you want to protect the npc with regeneration, but your ally steals it.
Phantasms and other summons on the other hand should receive lowest priority, and only recieve buffs last. So 1/2+ : )

I guess, so how can you make a finale with more pvp?

The wiki states something like this:
“….The mist, a home of powerful spirits or dieties…”
Exactly what powerful spirits? Last I checked scarriest thing in WvW are the legendary defenders.
Seeing the only thing gained from winning(besides loot) in WvW is the Power of the Mist bonus, why not add something that makes you feel like you’re winning?
What I want to see is after you have accumalated so many points, legendary creatures will attack a garrison, keep, or Stonemist. You fight off the monster a “Grand Mist Chest” Spawns in the structure you defended, droping items with unique skins. You fail the castle becomes under control of ghostly creatures of the mist.

Right now the idea is basic obviously, so feel free to comment and make the idea evolve.

If anything, dungeon tokens could be exchanged for a different token, higher level dungeon tokens= more of this new token. This new token could have its own set of items.

I believe they intend to make them purchasable with influence and gold. Now all we need is floating guild halls in WvW and Id be set.

Im not sure what resseting would do other than give more rewards for rediscovering things. Also if zone progress is reset, are waypoints reset too? and do you mean Everything reset or only a single chosen zone? I think if a area detects high level players it’d be neat if events meant for experienced well equiped players would trigger.

Maybe you could have secondary like capabilities, like having a unique trait tree for that specific mix of primary and secondary profession:

Say you roll a guardian and you want choose secondary necromancer, giving access to the trait lines “Unholy Corruption” and “Life Mastery”. At level 80 you have your 70 trait points and an addition 20 for your secondary trait list(these points could either help passive attributes like normal trait lines, or have no passive affect). So you put all 20 points into Life Mastery, and unlike normal traits, you gain access to a two minors 5&10, and one major trait at 15.

Each Proffesion combo would have their own special traits like shown above, now to go along with that, each combo would have a small pool of skills containing elements of both Proffs. War primary with Engi seconday gains access to skills; Shoulder cannon kit, Magnetic Weaponry(attacks can’t be evaded), and so on..

Since only each combo would have access to its specific set of abilities, it would avoid the issues Gw1 had with any proffesion using any skills.

Sorry if I copied any other ideas Im tired and didn’t feel like reading the other post completely.

CtF will be a pain, more on the player side though.
Sins could just stealth and if they block stealth while holding flag, then people will QQ about them being so squishy without it.
Guardians and warriors are a pain in the rear to take down if they are dedicated to surviving.
Mesmers have portals, dont even want to get started with that.

I’d rather see more minigames, kill count/deathmatch, old style GvG, or KotH over CtF.

Try rolling a group of engi’s with piercing shots, Ive said this before and I don’t know if this works since Ive never encountered a turtle. You could also try reflection abilities, Ive killed a good amount putting wall of reflection on doors, 40 shooting at the wall means whoever is up front most likely instantly dead. Theyre are also some skills that remove boons, try removing stability then droping a ward on them.

^ what he said ^

maybe we can make living ladders up WvW walls too, asura on bottom, charr and norn up top.

They should add a claustrophobic effect, making all players run away from the concentrated scent of ten norns armpits at close range.

But seriously AoE cap limit makes sense, theres no reason my grenade realistically blow right through 5 people in heavy enchanted platemail. But I also like Jacklo’s idead of bonus damage to Turts.

WvW really isn’t that profitable, Ive probably made more money killing the kraits for the Quaggan events than doing anything else in WvW. Any support oriented character is getting nil since other players in the zerg will be earning more than you by a mile since they are the only ones getting drops. But if you really want some dough, the money is probably going to all the thiefs soloing any player that strays to far from a zerg.

You should get a few engi’s organized with coated bullets trait, turtles will crumble under that if they really are sticking too close to eachother, 50 players inside eachother= 50 hits + 50 explosions=lotsa bags o loot. Not to mention turtles are vulnerable to siege. Im pretty sure there are plenty of ways to counter turt, and like coated bullets, not all attacks have a hit cap.

The future of GW2 PVP unless this is fixed.
No more strategy or tactics required.
Step 1. Get 50 players.
Step 2. Stand on the commander.
Step 3. Win

Also equals instant death if you use your brians to find a way to counter.

If you think that population would be a problem, it’d be easy for Anet to add a tally for each zones population of the respected server.

I think a solo version of a dungeon would be refreshing blast for me. I don’t want to sound like a spoiled brat and no one else does, but I think a solo path for every dungeon isn’t too much to ask from Anet. Heck maybe even throw in a unique weapon and armor set for the solo version maybe, but that might be too much to ask for.

Anet has stated that they will giving better BLTC filter options, just gotta be patient.

Many have had similar complaints, many expect dagger storm to get some serious nerfing duration wise, I predict it will retain reflect but also make the user still take damage upon reflect. As for tornado its good for shoving people into wall and keeping them there, so you just have to be smart when you use it, unlike other elite panic buttons. Like Chief said, tornado underwater/whirlpool has some serious stopping power, good damage on top of huge pulling power, Ive soloed groups as large as 5 using it since it keeps them from escaping, attacking, and healing.

Like you, my favorite thing about this game is WvW, but its starting to feel stale to me for the same reasons you have, no real reward, small titles that don’t really mean anything, poor drops, and almost guareenteed chance of having to deal with the money sinks like armor repair on top of that. Sure its fun, but becoming somewhat unnatractive now that I see how little it rewards.
Seeing how you want to see and have the rank of being a skilled long time player, but understand how Anet doesn’t want to give any one player an unfair advantage, this is my suggestion.

how about massive ranked GvGvG, not quite as large as WvWvW, but with similar setup. The map would be the size of a WvW map, maybe even one of the same maps, but this way it retains the organized nature of sPvP, giving it more “meaty” titles that acutally mean something, rather than grind based titles. Also this mode would give out better loot and so on for winning. As for specific titles, I think you deserve the legendary rank character frame that others see when you get clicked on, just for your understanding post.

Edit- along with the meaty titles, you could also cash in points or some other effectively similar systems to buy or unlock special items that you want.

Clock tower was the best thing ever, even though I never tried it enought to beat it. Going along with your suggestion I would love to see time trials of jumping puzzles, present and future ones, making them a race really ramps up the intensity and fun factor for those that enjoy that sort of thing.

1+ for you! (:

Guesting is a planned feature that will allow you to jump to other servers pve zones without transferring. It hasn’t been talked about much so I expect it won’t be in place until early next year or late this year.

Knowing Anet might read this, do please give us an estimate on this, rough or not, the community loves to hear from you.

I find the Claw of Jormag pretty entertaining, running right in front of the dragon while everyone else wimps out to the side on cheapo ledges is great fun, the other two are fairly boring since they don’t require as much effort, but they all give good drops.

I like the forums here, but I whenever I find something I want to say, someone has already created a thread like it, so it gets maybe one or two good responses and is proceeded to be forgotten.

I would like to see a thread tagging system and poll addition to the forums. Polls would have their own section right next to the button for the related topic.

A tagging system to help find a previous would be nice to find previously created related thread and help deal with the rediculous amount of identical threads.

Comments and suggestions for this and any positive criticism would be welcome, this idea would not only help you, but it would help Anet find good suggestions and make it easier to listen to you, as both are intended to lessen the amount of bogus repeat threads and unclear threads.
Don’t forget to 1+ if you like this!

PS. sorry Anet, I can’t find anywhere to post forum improvement suggestions, since the forum discussion is intended for site bug reporting, I posted it here on the game suggestion page.

1+, the current salvage system is silly, GW1 system was way better.

Just stating this, but I also feel like the amount of money sinks is killing the the evolution of ourselves as players, I feel like I have to stay the same or lose the ability to make dough to figure out all the potential playstyles.

I kinda like the idea, but with the guardian already a “holy” proffesion, I feel as if the only difference between the two would be light and heavy armor. However I also feel that guardians are lacking in the holy department, they may have some skills relating to it, but as you stated in your guru post I feel more like a meat shield than a holy warrior. Question for you OP, do you feel like if your suggested skills and traits, and a “monk” orriented storyline for guardians would satisfy you?

Its a cool idea, but once guesting is in place you should have a much easier time finding a server with med-high population zones. I want to say 1+ but its pretty much the same as guesting. So I say 1/2+ which effectively rounds up to 1 : )

Individually, the norn would win in an unarmed duel if they were both good tactical fighters, lets not forget a single norn ripped out Jormags tooth with his bare hands(the thing is over thirty feet tall!). Charr may have claws, feline agility, and brains, but Norn are pretty much superhumans.

In an armed fight on the other hand, Charrs have guns and so on. No amount of shapeshifting is going to realistically stop a bullet. But thats not what this thread is about.

The skill in general needs buffed, meteor shower has 30 second recharge, 1200 range, longer duration, more projectiles, and I think nearly identical damage(some needs to confirm validity of that last part). Playing a charr engi, it is by far the worst elite and not even on par with other utility skills. Heck Id prefer a second grenade barrage or overpowered shot over it.

Suggestion to improve it- make its range better and/or add random condition on hit(blind-smoke shell, 1/4sec daze-concussion shell, and bleed- shrapnel shell)

Well playing Lunatic Inquisition, I managed to live last and get the chainsaw. My first thought was “I love you Anet” then a ghost popped up and eviscareted me in one hit since I was already damaged. Kinda anti-climatic, don’t you think?

My proposal is that the player who has a the ripper at the end gets to hunt down the ghost instead, kinda like pac-man. Kill a ghost, get double speed, full blow minimap showing all ghost, and invicibility for maybe 5-10 seconds per kill. This would keep on going until all ghost died or the “Reaper” died.

Just a temp fix suggestion, stealth abilities need to be shortened a second to counter the “bonus” stealth given through delay that would be heavenly. As for countering a thief, whenever my engi is attacked outta nowhere, I instantly panic and drop smoke bomb and big ol bomb to give me stealth and block C&D, maybe even knockdown the thief, except all they do is go poof and tele away or stun break, then come right back at me while my counters are recharging and Im pretty much guarenteed dead, Ive maxed out toughness and HP and I still die pretty quickly. The worst part about it is that the thief manages to down 5 more people in the same spot. Ive learned that if there are allies dead in a open spot, youre pretty much going suicidal trying to res them.

Edit- I know this isn’t related but are theifs pretty much immune to the 66% skill recharge debuff from chill, considering they use initiative instead?

Find a server you like, make sure others like it so your best bud doesn’t abandon you so you leave and then others follow suite. If you want ego, transfer to top tier or gather your alliance into a server and work from there.

I don’t compete in WvW for ego, but I spend most of my time there. Why? For fun and the power of the mist, its a pretty darn good bonus, I spend the first half or so of the match to contribute to the bonus, then switch to pve to make some real money. My ten man WvW guild sure isn’t playing for ego and holding SM, and we don’t want it that way.

fellyn.5083:

I’ve noticed a trend as Darkhaven goes higher in the ranks and I hope it doesn’t continue. The higher we get in ranks the more hostile people get and the more forum pvp we see. Sadly I gave in and guilty of this too. The worst part of this is that people from darkhaven are just as – if not – more guilty of this than people from other servers.

So I’m asking everyone, specifically my fellows on DH, can we just all cut the mud slinging and keep it friendly and competitive? We don’t need a second thread locked.

Thanks for saying that, forum pvp is a great way of putting it. By the way, could someone get on and post a score update before DH night caps everything?

Lionhearted.7169:

Taemek it’s only a suggestion… ok what if you were a 12month loyal server member and you could buy a special buff for 10g that unleashed a dragon or titans upon your enemies strongholds… all fun and ideas but don’t say it would achieve nothing unless you are one of the ones who like server hoping.

Don’t go that far, that essiantially makes the richest guild the winning one. Ignore Taemek, currently he’s only discrouraging creativity and suggestions, a bonus is a bonus and if you’re lvl 80 Im pretty sure Anet could do something to make it worth while, like special armor and wep skin unlocks etc.., just a suggestion.

Rhyis.7058:

Farming PvE players in a PvP specific zone sounds like my kind of fun. I fully endorse all players to continue doing such actions.

Yeah its definitely a PvP specific zone, you know with all those npc’s everywhere(sarcasm may be included)

Edit- Sorry ‘bout that I just contradicted myself, please let me apologize and give a word on the forums; don’t follow what I did, please keep this thread civil and act as a community, help other players, teach them tactics, and prepare them for future.

At the time a DH and I had walked through for a bit trying to defend eachother from pesky campers, Im not saying Magumma is stupid or DH is kind, Im saying don’t be a kitten and ruin the fun for others, I get leaving a trap here or there, its a jumping puzzle after all, but loading the path with marks and camping in numbers for badges is pathetic.

Also! if you know people taking advantage of culling, discourage them, its stupid and in the long run with how much you hurt other peoples motivation to play, you’re actually making it harder for everyone to make profit.

Edit- The plague killing WvW= The players
The cure to save WvW= The players acting as a community

Lionhearted, I love the loyalty bonus, great idea +1.

Suggestion time, I think you should be limited to maybe 1-3 free transfers, and be locked out of WvW for the remainder of the matchup.
