Guild Wars 2

i fear its all hush hush for now, as big pvp guilds etc dont want all the newbies/casuals flocking to their server and messing up their wvw

best best is , go into a heavy/full one if you want to pve , but if you want to pvp just watch the wvw scoreboard for a week and keep track of the good servers, migrate to the less full one and make a name for yourselves..but ive already said too much

the 2 days i spent trying to figure out the metrica province jumping puzzle, its downright epic tbh, i enjoy these so much, and vstas ahh i love the pirate vistas like laughing gull island and such

stealth is already weak enough on this game, if thieves cant stealth to some extent , what good are they in pvp?

they could use higher cooldowns on their stealths but other than that , i think stealth in this game is fairly well balanced actually

cant quote for some reason

@ asmodean , if you are playing a pet necro in pvp , your also doing it wrong, might be viable later if/when minion ai doesnt suck kittens

also your best and only viable pets dont need toughness since they are just gonna be spawned to blow up :hint:

anyways, my point was, downed state is fine, although i will agree that some proffesion’s downed state abilities could use a tweaking to bring them all in line with all proffs

well unless they can spam interrupts on you, you can let him beat at you while downing the other guy , get some toughness and vit is all im gonna say also if you are roaming alone with an ele , your doing it wrong imo

you srsly can afk thru it,in five minutes, i get where you are comming from but it honestly seems unneccesary not to mention that it promotes them selling character slots, so you can have one of each without having to go through the prologue, they gotta make money somehow

also i remember reading somewhere, that the items themselves are similar on all bought chests, but the materials you can salvage from gold vs the other ones are better

there is also a bug reported on the bug forums relating to FOV calculations for widescreen monitors/resolutions

apparently if you play in 4.3 aspect ratio , the FOV is better , the calculations or fov adjustment for widescreen seem to be off, someone did the calculations/tests on the thred but so far ANET hasnt officially responded if its actually an issue

EDIT: seems the panel did answer this today, i will give the link the the transcript, also happens to be one of the most upvoted/liked answers so it seems we might get a slider or tweak after all, wich would be great, id love to keep playing this game , its gorgeous

The camera and FoV need work. But they’re not going to change it. Ya I was floored too when I read this. Not going to fix something that thousands want fixed… wow just wow.
Throwing away potential is like throwing away money. Too bad

I must have missed this. Where was it said that the camera isn’t going to be re-examined?

To be honest with you, I’m only really holding on for a change in the way the camera works and if that’s never going to happen then I will be shelving GW2 and moving on. That sounds melodramatic, I know, but it doesn’t matter how glorious a world looks if the eyes through which you see it are broken.

on the first page of this thread you can find the link to the official response on it, but basically , its a case of EGO from the main devs because they say there is nothing wrong with the current FOV , and they wont change it because it hurst their “artistic intergrity” ( wich has been proven to be BS as not one single texture tiltes or stretches even at 100 degree FOV )

so basically, were suffering from a case of the jay wilson plague " im right you are wrong deal with it" that some developers seem to be suffering now a days, there are literally THOUSANDS of people suffering from recurrent migraines from the game but nope…nothing wrong with their camera its our pcs/eyes ……/rollseyes

just do like i do, keep checking to see if they plan to fix it, but otherwise ll not be playing , i dont play a game to feel ill afterwards

i cant find tokens but i got more of the other stuff than i can do anything with ironically i also noticed rabbit stuff yielding a lot of crystals too granted im lvl 12 but still….

about objects :

a little unknown fact it seems that no one talks about is that necros are even worse than we are on objects they truly are reduced to autoatack dmg only on objects

i admit i rolled a necro out of the gate, but with all the bugs and whatnot , they arent very enjoyable right now

also ,the necro traits are all out of whack , you get power and condition duration on one line, and power builds dont use conditons, you get precision and condition damage on another line, wich again, means one wasted stat if you are going either way

they are " ok" for pve, but they get very boring very fast, they are very good for bunker builds on tournament play but you can get a guardian for that

if they fix minon ai and some trait bugs, while rearanging trait trees a bit , i see htem played more, im playing a mesmer now and its frankly a thousand times more fun , with synergistic trait lines and plenty of viable builds

i see lots of leveling engineers, but not too many in pvp thank god, becase they are very good in pvp, dunno why people dont play them more, i myself created one and plan to levle it eventually after the mesmer

i too would like to know this using my LCD tv as monitor (32 inch) 1824×1096 resolution (requires tweaking because of native overscan of tv for some reason) widescreen aspect (does there exist an lcd that isnt these days? ) i feel claustrophobic most of the time, i tried wvwvw a few times and i found that its a pain in the butt trying to see things above walls or keeps because the camera sticks to your back and you can barely see anything

after watching a few videos and playing with the rezised window, i can honestly say that the game is 100 percent better looking like that, i would love to know if this is a bug of the intended FOV for 16.9 monitor users

park alts near the spawn points

me ive never seen a dragon up yet, not once, i have horrible luck , but tbh i havent been playing much, the Field of view/tunnel vision is continuing to bother me and i cant be arsed to log in and get a headache to play a few hours

only one ive seen is the one in queeensdale on youtube but i have never seen him spawn : /

rata sum has everything pretty much together, bank, guild bank, and tp

Mastermind.3169:

There will not be an option to change FOV in the future according to Jon Peters, because it hurts their artistical pride and it weighs alot heavier than what their customers feels about their game.

Source external link: http://gw2.mmorpg-life.com/developer-corner-jon-peters-on-camera-and-fov-field-of-view/43896/

well, jokes on them, because a lot of people will not play if it gives them headaches or bothers their vision, i havent played in 3 or 4 days now, and my interest in the game seems to wane with every passing day

their “artistic” integrity will stay intact because we wont see their artwork if we aint playing

ill be back when theres either a tool to change it or arena implements a FOV slider
