Chaba.5410:

What was up with that talk about prybar as a counter for something? I don’t use toolkit in my wvw support build (except underwater).

Grouch was talking about how we are strictly a ranged class and Guardians can shut down our damage completely by popping their defensive bubble, to which Jon Sharp flippantly replied “Yeah, so.” Then Karl said something about going into it and using melee.

So apparently Guardians should fear our Wrench #1 dps!

He said we should use Tool Kit.

So basically they expect every Engineer to give up a utility slot and bring tool kit because they can’t be bothered to design the game with any intelligence.

ahuba.6430:

and how is having an hard counter bad?

Because a single skill (the boon steal on the new Mug) has the ability to make an entire class unviable (by stealing the HGH might stack crutch).

Show me another skill that can do that?

ahuba.6430:

and its also not like engies arent in a string position right now.

All Engineers have is one OP trait (HGH) being used a crutch to hold the class back from the edge of the abyss, which will now be hard countered by thieves and warriors.

I fail to see how that is a “strong place”.

They do care about WvW. Proof being that they have been making a lot of positive changes lately.

Take your baseless QQ elsewhere.

Not being able to use utilities while under the effect of Elixir S more than likely means we won’t be able to swap to med kit for a small heal while invuln anymore, which is a huge survivability nerf.

And survivability with the right build was one of the few good things we had left…

Daecollo.9578:

Did they double all signets stats? Like healing?

I’d like to know how Engineers, the only class without signets, will be compensated for this buff to all other class.

Penguin.5197:

Also now that boon hate is coming into effect (warriors getting more damage against targets with buffs and thieves stealing the boons) I am curious into how much that is going to affect our builds since bunker,flamethrower, hgh builds rely heavily on it.

It’s a HARD counter to HGH.

The only thing making Engineers viable at the moment is having huge might stacks. Now that Thieves will be able to use Mug to steal that might stack, a class that’s already stronger than us will be able to take away the one thing making us viable and use it to help them kill us.

They need to nerf HGH. It’s just a crutch that’s hiding the real problems.

CriSPeH.8512:

Wonder if the bug will be addressed along with the nerf to the skill.

It was nice to be able to go invulnerable and maybe heal or get a “free” attack off but since there aren’t ANY other professions that can do things while they are immune to damage I can see why we need the change.

I don’t agree. GW2 is meant to have unique class mechanics. This is just homogenization.
Should they nerf Mesmers because no other class can portal?

Grenade nerf (again)
Elixir S nerf
Healing turret buff (who cares?)

So sick of this kitten.

The declining gold to gem exchange rate is solely due to the prevalence of cheap kittens who never open their wallet and support ArenaNet by buying gems.

You have no one to blame but yourselves, and ArenaNet shouldn’t pay any attention to your tears.

It may be harsh, but it’s the truth.

Food for thought: If TC is desperate to get to T1 as some claim, then why would no one bother to show up for the last few days of the matchup knowing we’ve already won? Wouldn’t we use our opponents low morale and thus low turnout to grind out more rating?

Posted about 17 hours a go, looks like TC was still there to me….surely this was a morale booster for us on Kain in our current downed state.

That score is bugged out.
100% is 24 camps, 24 towers, 12 keeps and SM for 695 PPT

How I miss you MIF…….:)

I agree that the old Backdraft skill is much more appropriate for flamethrower than Air Blast. It makes so much more sense for a melee weapon to have a skill that brings people to melee range as opposed to knocking them out of it.

I do wish Overcharged Shot (rifle 4) worked more like Air Blast though. The AoE nature of Air Blast is so much more user friendly than Overcharged Shot.

(We’re also so off topic and the mods are going to get mad :P)

There are also the new 21:9 aspect ratio monitors that are starting to show up.

GW2 being tested on one:

Niim.9260:

That computer doesn’t even look lived in, its like a computer set up in a show home.

That picture was from when I finished was installing everything. I had to flip the desk over to drill a hole for the monitor mount, so all the junk had to come off.

Several months on and it’s appropriately disgusting and dirty :P

Saweth You Him.9047:

I wish I could play in widescreen but my TV only takes one resolution. Any other resolution looks like crap. I do get the benefit of a comfy lazyboy and lots of leg room though. I guess that’s the trade off.

What trade off? :P

Please, please, please tell me how you got your screen like that?!

I run three screen. It’s cropped to make it less annoying for forum viewing :P.

You are so lucky.. so when you play Gw2 you get such a wide range of things.. my god I love you..

I see everything :P

Chaba.5410:

There wasn’t by chance a ram by a gate floating half-way up the wall, was there?

I didn’t check the exterior of all the walls, but there was no ram near the gate when I ran in.

For those of you reading this, I’m not sure how Noodles became the most “Famous” or “Infamous” person in GW2

Never heard of him…

A brilliant theory. OP has established his prominence.

With good reason.

scootshoot.6583:

our client is optimized

The client is never the problem, it’s the server that is the issue in large scale fights.

ColinJohanson.2394:

We’re working on trying to make the ones we’ve already got more exciting encounters

On that subject, can you buff the lightning fields on the Golem Mark II mega-boss.
It’s a small tweak, but it would make the fight so much more dynamic.

At the moment people (mostly bookahs who don’t realize the threat a rogue golem represents!) just stand in one spot the entire fight and never move.

Less than a week to go until the next patch, really hope this is fixed…

Score update.

I think TC might win this week…

Last time someone shouted nerf I spent 80 gold showing there wasn’t one..

Inprognito.9487:

2 Guilds are leaving, I wouldn’t call that imploding quite yet. We’ll drop to the tier we belong and we’ll be fine.

I hope so!

Kaineng has always been a fun opponent who play the meta well, and hopefully dropping down will energize the community and encourage people to stay. Back when I played on IoJ it always gave us a moral boost to have a more competitive matchup every time (lol) we dropped down a tier.

Joey.2769:

Mif why not try to be nice?

I wasn’t aware I wasn’t being nice o.0

Mif.3471:

A stack server imploding when it doesn’t dominate? Working as intended.

I only hope that those who leave choose a server based on wanting to play there, rather than solely on which server will win.

Oh geeez. What a misguided post.

Insulting me =/= proving me wrong.

When you have a server like Kaineng, which people have transferred to expecting it will be T1 or dominant, it doesn’t take long for it to implode once the first cracks appear (in this case WM’s holiday).

Furthering what I “misguidedly” said , I hope the committed WvW players of Kaineng who abandon ship go to a server where they will be happy to remain no matter what it’s fortunes, rather than to go the next stack server only for the process to repeat itself again in 6 months.

The other night I did a 5 hour shift of scouting, running yaks, upgrading camps and towers (some 2g worth), capping moles/frogs, and placing siege. I was flat out the entire time.

My WXP reward? About 1/20th of one rank bar.

At the end of the night, just when I was about to log out, we had a major attack on SM to deal with, and being low on manpower, I helped out for 15 minutes.

My WXP reward? Half of one rank bar.

That ain’t right.

Panda.1967:

It doesn’t seem to work any more…

The “new FoV” is now the default FoV. Been that was for months.
This is an old thread really needs to be unstickied…

Yes

More Asura = more awesome

Your argument is invalid because: What does a Engineer do in real life?

They build concrete canoes.

And predator drones….

Doomdesire.9365:

I always find it weird how people complain thieves are hard to catch.

I don’t think they understand the concept of a thief…
Let me say this again
A thief
Thief
Thief

For those who don’t know what a Thief is, he is someone who strikes, and can escape easily. What does a thief do in real life? Steal and then get the hell out of there. 7/11 robbers don’t stay there for the police to come, do they?

Awlbiste.1803:

So is that 9pm EST actually 8pm EDT (current time), or was that a typo and it’s actually meant to be 9pm EDT?

Can we can a clarification on this Devon?

Celso Denbrough.3780:

but now everytime I start GW2 a weird “click-click” sound every 5-7 seconds is heard inside the computer.

Coil whine?

(just throwing out ideas)

I like Devon because Devon gets results!

Lanimal.6541:

Yeah I always have respected you guys as the one guild on FA who truly understands meta and PPT.

That’s because they learnt the meta on IoJ.

I would like to second this idea!

Introducing my current main:

Level 80 tiny Asura Thief…

Crybaby Peepeepants

Um…. can’t say it’s something I’d call myself. But to each their own.

As for me, I am Mif

Technically being a female character it doesn’t fit lore naming conventions, but for those purposes I’d say her full name would be Miffi. But since she’s Asura she cares about efficiency, thus she uses a shortened version because one syllable is 50% more efficient than two!

I wish they would move Super Elixir to Med Kit, so we could have one proper support kit, and Elixir Gun could be reworked to be more of a conditions weapon.
