Guild Wars 2

Remove AR. Now.

bhagwad.4281:

Recently I’ve been teamed against strange ranger builds that seem to do nothing but stand outside the circle and autoattack. Considering that I play a decap engi

Stopped reading there.

I don’t think they want the playerbase to know they’re leaving. They rather want to show they’re leaving because ArenaNet still doen’t give a kitten about sPvP (kind of a cry of frustration). It’s most likely adressed to A-Net i guess.

There isn’t any kind of balance in the current conquest mode either. You’re forced to play a specific meta if you want to be competitive. Did you see any decent team playing without a bunker guard, ever (for example..)?

Multiple gamemodes will provide a larger amount of variaty in terms of viable setups, builds and playstyles.

Professions and builds which are obviously weak in the current conquest mode could be strengthen in a king of the hill/capture the flag (whatever-)mode. So if your profession or build is rather bad in one of these gamemodes you can still be pretty good within another mode.

Your example with bunker engi (or similar) running a flag isn’t pretty solid tho. They could be implement some kind of debuff applied to the carrier of the flag, multiple flags and so on (it’s rather easy to kill a bunker engi with 5 ppl as well tho). It’s all about the right game mechanics.

If you haven’t heard anything about new gamemodes you probably didn’t keep track on it. They are currently testing new stuff and we actually can expect to see them in the future (even if we have to wait another half a year or even more).

If you really want them to “do nothing” (aka “strengthen and balancing” the current conquest mode, which they’re probably not even able to do within years because they have no clue about their own game) you’ll get nothing and this game will keep on dying.

You just want them to continue doing what they did for one and a half year now. Literally nothing.

@Leeto: You should really try to watch your mouth tho.

OneManArmy.9732:

ds only vs full condi necro 1v1. useless in teamfights, useless other classes. what class can’t bring 2k dmg? even if ele heals it, he will lose them again, because DS not removing any of existing condi.

change your gear, stop mindlessly spam condi’s.

You’re kinda right. They could change their setup a bit and it wouldn’t be much of a problem to face a ds ele again. But nonetheless, ds and similar traits are the most kitten traits in this game which doesn’t support a high amount of skill but rather the opposite.

Speaking of mindlessly such traits don’t really prevent this kind of gameplay. A-nets promotion of these kind of traits and the way to play the game in general at the moment leads towards a really noob-friendly and casual state of pvp tho.

They need to make sure to remove the traits mentioned above and in addition try to prevent mindlessly spamming builds as well. This kind of attitude shouldn’t be rewarding at all.

Suprah.5076:

1 / Basically i’m saying that u have a chance to beat 1 bunker ingi coz before the condi imun u can do smth but for the diamond skin u can’t , it’s OVER 90% life this is why.

2 / Maybe because Ventari is playing a class who is not overpowered but not weak , also u need some skills and hard work to master necromancer, u have to know your cd’s pretty well , how to use some skills , when to use it or not etc … So I understand him when he see 1 kittening newb thief spamming 3 or 1 kittening newb hambow litterally facerolling his keyboard to nearly win or 1 kittening newb diamond skin ele also able to faceroll coz of perma imun I won’t blame him for whining a bit :S

3/ I don’t blame them , as I said this is ANET who created this type of unbalanced traits they are the first to blames , not the players who use it. I’m blaming this guy because he think he is good coz he is able to beat teams who are clearly above him when it’s just a total counter.

1. Ye, so i did understand you correctly. I can fully agree with you tho.

2. Due to the fact i can’t do kitten against a condi warrior (or necros if they’re decent players) if i’m running engineer i actually understand his whining. I had a 1vs1 vs a rank 25 warrior running the bow / mace+sword condi-build and i literally couldn’t do anything. He can basically reflect everything, has his berserker stance, can remove up to 3 conditions every 5 seconds (+Lyssa rune #lol), has cc and an immense amount of healing due to the signet. So i lost, went mad and he didn’t realise it’s just because of the build and was really thinking he’s a good player tho. (same scenario if i’m facing a necromancer, which is kinda the natural counter of engineer i guess). And this actually should not be possible. A high skilled player should be able to kill a bad player at any time.

Even tho necromancer pretty hard-counters engineer i’m actually fine with that. I think it’s okay if there’s at least one profession which can counter your own profession relatively easily. But it’s not only the necromancer which is countering engineer. You basically can’t beat a condition warrior 1 vs 1. Even against (solid) hambows you have a pretty tough time without any stunbreakers. Literally every single team is running with either warrior(s) and/or necromancers. A ranger (as well as a good mesmers) can be a really tough matchup as well tho. Engineer is in a really tough Position nowadays tho (remember, i’m not talking about cancer-aids-decap-engis).

This beeing sad i’m actually in the same spot as Ventari (probably worse, necromancers are still pretty viable as opposed to engineers, at least if you want to run anything besides decap, which i refuse to), so i can understand his whining in some way tho.

3. As i mentioned above i know these kind of players which are actually not even close to yourself, but thinking pretty high of themselves, because they’re stomping you due to their profession/setup advantage. Regarding your enemy team i actually can’t state if they’re bad or anything because i don’t really know them and i don’t want to judge them either tho.

#talking/whining too much about engineers tho

Suprah.5076:

Totally false against ingi if u keep some cd’s up u do a condi burst + ds fear and u have a chance to beat. It’s a small chance but you are physically able to kill him.

I didn’t quite understand what you’re trying to tell me (#tired). I guess you mean a necromancer can beat a engineer with AR. That’s actually true. Due to the fact a engineer doesn’t have neither much condi-remove nor many stunbreakers it’s more than likely to kill an engineer if you’re playing necromancer. If you’re trying to say it’s possible to kill a necromancer if you’re running an engineer (i doubt you did want to say this), it has to be a pretty bad necromancer tho.

Against DS ele U HAVE ABSOLUTELY 0.00 % chance to win in 1v1 as necro or ranger.

You’re probably right with that. I also agree such traits are really stupid and should be removed from the game, but you can’t expect to get a perfect meta for your team. MTC (aka Ventari i guess) is whining about every single specc which is countering his necromancer. I know, pistolwhip as well as the traits mentioned above is really stupid, but honestly…i doubt it’s a good idea to see necromancers without any counters.

It’s not like this ele-trait makes him invincible. Thiefs, mesmers and warriors can still counter this kind of stuff pretty easily. The other team made sure to counter your setup, that’s actually smart of them. I doubt your team is running a less meta-orientated setup. So it’s not necessary to blame them.

TL;TR: The traits are imbalanced and kittened (and should be removed), but you’re most likely whining about this trait because it counters YOUR Team (or any team with a lack of direct dmg tho) and you’re mad because you lost due to this fact (i don’t want to offend anyone of you, but your “we are the the better players/team” confirms this tho).

Skullduggery.2054:

Suprah.5076:

U don’t agree with that ? Let’s try some match without DS ele , I know u can play war , let’s see if u even reach 100 pts :P

Today Ele carries 400 Points in a Game and yesterday we was out of meta, did i miss a patch?

Totally made my day.^^

@Suprah: Cmon, even PvE players can master a warrior in less than 65 games tho.

A lot of name and shame going on here. I really have to agree with Keksmuffin. It doesn’t even matter which team is the better one, the only person who is allowed to be arrogant is helseth.

BTT: I really like the fact you’re whining about eles which you can’t get below 90% hp (i totally agree those traits are stupid tho, should be hotfixed instantly) but a engineer is literally in the same position towards necromancers. If you’re not running any stupid-kittened-broken kitten, a decent necromancer will roll over your face within seconds. But that’s fine, right? (Same goes for condition war tho)

Blackjack.5621:

We are not all quitting the game, but the effort to run as a team with tourney schedules etc is just not worth it for no reward. Some take a break and focus on studying, some will pug around, pve or find another team. The meta also became boring.

Maybe a balance+reward patch next year can motivate us I know devs are working on it with all their passion.

The last sentence really made me laugh tho.

See ya in 2017.

Ixl Super Ixl.7258:

Only team with 5 skilled players quit. Gl gw2 lol

I have to agree, all of them are skilled players, but it’s not like they’re the only ones. There are also a lot of players with a high amount of skill suppressed by the current meta. I also have to agree to Fraelinas whole post tho.

Personally i don’t like to play because of the state of the game (pvp) in general. What am i supposed to do if i main engineer (example) and don’t want to play a kittened decap-build which is literally the only things that’s viable atm?

Well yes, i could go and reroll to warrior, thief or whatever. But i actually don’t like to play any of these. Maybe some ppl are going to say: stick to your profession and play what you like to. That’s actually possible, BUT if i really want to play on the top…it’s not. And please don’t tell me i’m not skilled enough or anything. If you want to play on the top you have to run what’s best for your team. A Engineer isn’t. I also refuse any kind of argument which points towards multi-profession-player. Even tho it’s possible to play more than one profession on a high skill-level we shouldn’t be forced to.

The funniest thing is, A-Net is buffing every single spammy-braindead-noskill-passive-kittenbuild in this game which requires literally 0 skill at all. Sure, there is still a difference between good and bad players, but if a bad player can stomp a good player (who isn’t playing the most broken thing) even tho he’s playing the best he can….there is a serious problem.

There is a kitten amount of new players coming to pvp and looking good, even tho they’re bad as hell. It’s because all of those kitten builds and the incompetence of A-Net (hot)fixing these things.

We need our time to investigate blablabla. Are you for real? They promised all these things gazillion years ago, and we aren’t even getting decent balance patches on a frequent time base yet.

Devs still don’t care about pvp at all, they just want to make us think this way.

There was a growth around 40% in the pvp-community right? Did anyone ever ask why this happend? It’s because the made PvP to a Part of PvE. They mentioned the opportunity to get PvE stuff while playing PvP (including some weapons which are pretty expensive in PvE). So where did this growth come from? Right, it’s all the PvE guys trying to get this stuff in a cheaper way.

They don’t have to make sure there are more ppl playing PvP. They have to strengthen the Core-PvP-Players (a lot of them did quit already tho) and really make you feel rewarded for your time-investment and skilllevel.

Does anyone actually care about getting additional rankpoints besides some hotjoinheroes or PvE guys who are going for achievementpoints?

And what about all this PvE stuff (bags etc.) we’re getting nowadays? Wtf am i supposed to do with these things? Go and play PvE? Please….

Another hotjoin-hero?

Tbh i didn’t play this …… game for around two weeks now, but i don’t think there was any kind of patch within this period of time.

Probably it was a hotjoin game and those 5 ppl (including you) are just bad as hell?

Tell me how to survive with literally 0 stunbreaks and 0 stability? In addition you don’t have a ton of cond remove (auto response doesn’t clean them)

And don’t even try to tell me you’ll blind all cc’s and stuff…

The balance of this game is broken because the devs are balancing the game for ppl like you (casuals who don’t know how to play obviously).

Maybe they want us to stop playing tpvp, so they can finally delete pvp from the game. Rewards for not playing or beeing bad? You’ll be rank 1.

Lmao.

This is going to be esports. /ironie

People don’t get it, the trib mode is supposed to be the “hardmode”, it is supposed to be hard. Stop whining if you can’t make it. You simply don’t deserve it in this case.

Are you serious? They made trib mode a lot easier as well. Stop trying to defend yourself, Casual.

WAY to easy.

Make it twice as hard next time and stop listening to all those whining guys.

A hardmode is supposed to be hard, If you can’t make it, you simply don’t deserve it.

Denshee.5917:

Lucky.9421:

I just wanted to thank Josh and everyone at Anet who took the time to do some post release polish in response to the feedback. I can’t wait to try it out, although our guild already got a group through 2-2. We still have some people who haven’t.

I am sorry but this patch just ruined SAB Tribulation mode, if you couldnt make it before patch you did not deserve to.

As simply as that. I think a-net wants to destroy their own game. Even Sims is harder to play. Lmao.

Seems to be a troll.

One of the best (bunker) guards out there, pretty solid with other professions as well. Imo he’s a very nice guy who doesn’t start to complain during the match or anything (which is very essential).

Catch him if you can.

Sry guys, i did think the thread has died already.^^

Well i’m really thankful to get at least some positive feedback.

@PianoFights: It’s quite hard to fight (for example) necros atm, especially because you only have your heal turret for cond remove. Most of the time i try to cc (shield 4+5, FT 3, magnetic bomb, rifle 4, toolbelt pull etc) them as much as possible. If you take them down very fast it doesn’t really matter though. With static discharge it’s even harder imo (many ppl are very lucky with rnd dodges).
And ye, you have to be really mobile in wvw, especially with those 30+ zergs chasing you (one of the reasons i love rocketboots <3) <.<

@waikiki, I’m using rabid stats for my trinkets as well. I’ve added the food i’m using to the links below the video. Actually i’ve just started playing wvw, i didn’t play any kind of pve/wvw for about half a year, so i didn’t have any clue about bufffood and just picked some food with a decent cost-effectiveness. (Got about 40% crit chance without any food).

@Assassin, I’m using rabid stuff all the way for my condition builds and zerker (Berserker’s Amulet etc) stuff for my static discharge build.

@Recipe, I’m sure you’ll be a excellent engineer.

Hey guys,

Since i decided to take a little break of tournaments and spvp in general i was going to start playing wvw and had quite some fun with it. Most of the time i’m solo roaming with my engineer at the moment.

I’ve recorded some of my gameplay. The content shows mostly average stuff out of two days of recording (if you guys like it i’ll do more with better gameplay, better music etc! I’m thankful for every viewer/like/comment)

The video was made for fun, i hope you’ll enjoy it.

I’ve played three different builds in this video.

1. Node-Defender (rocketboots instead of elixir r, especially for wvw and after the nerf…)

If you have any questions or suggestions, leave a comment or whisper me ingame.

LotuS.4378:

dunno what the point playing 1v1 on wvw. go spvp.

Well i think i’ve capped a lot of supplycamps and stuff while doing this. So i think i’m not inefficent for you wvw guys at all, even though i’m doing this solo.

Zoutsha.1093:

We didnt dispute cause we just wanted to play the finals instead of arguing with admins.

Well, thats actually your fault. You could have done something about it.

Its easy to say no sportsmanship now but we actually won the bo3 and now we lost cause it was bo5.

I don’t want to hear any excuses why you’ve lost. I don’t want your team to represent europe in Pax anyways. Sorry but i saw your team randomly flaming ppl in spvp and stuff. You lost your courage and you aren’t professional in any way (imo).

Well, everyone knew it’ll be a bo5 RIGHT BEFORE the game has started. So tell me, why do they have to complain about it AFTER they’ve lost the game? If i would have had any Problem with a bo5 i would have screamed something like “STOP, what about the rules?!”.

There’s no sportsmanship at all. You can’t tell me this isn’t a “Q.Q we’ve lost thread”. It is. There wouldn’t be any thread about this topic if they would have won.

You’ve lost. Face the truth.

LMAO, some ppl can’t lose.

+1. totally agree!

bump bump bump, YES PLZZ!!11

Wartna.8671:

Hello,

What I think would be cool is the ability to name your legendary weapon. Right now a lot of people have a legendary already, some even more than 1. To make it more unique/personal I thought it would be nice to attach a name to your weapon. Maybe make a ticket for it wich costs 1g or w/e. Just a quick idea ^^

Ye, 99% of the ppl will give there legendary weird names.

definitely NO, worst idea ever.

Penguin.5197:

This is why we can’t have nice things someone always has to go post em on forums for the inevitable nerf :/

this.

Well done mate. /Ironie

they should nerf mesmer Portals in jps before they nerf this.

Suldaris.

No doubt about it.

Tried. Can’t find any team with this.

still looking for a team.

can be deleted

Ingame-name: Mouby

Main Class: Engineer / Potential Class: Ele (won also about 200+ tn with Ele)

Region: EU/Germany

Practice Times: CET/GMT +1 ( i think this should be right), about 7pm-11pm (usually every day)

Experience: played over 800tn, mostly with my engineer (100nades[nerfed], sd and atm hgh), rank 40 atm (i would be higher but i really hate “hot join” and prefer to play coordinated). I also got a lot of pvp experience in other games like wow (but i really prefer gw2 because it’s much more about movement)

Other: I really want to climb the leaderboards and grow up with my team. Top 50+ should be possible. If you want to have any information or if want to test me just whisper me ingame or send me a pm.

I don’t like RAGE ppl, i prefer to think about what went wrong and to fix this problems.

Language: German/English (English isn’t perfect, but i think it’s good enough)

Solved, BIG THANKS to mercury

I tried to explain it again in a new topic: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/account/2-Display-Names-Bug-after-Change-need-Help/first#post1784302

I already did and they can’t really help me. So they sent me to this forum.

+1

Most expensive greatsword, most expensive weapon in gw2 but LESS epic than the “precursor” (sunrise and twilight) of eternity.

You should give eternity a unique look, but not less effects to come to this point.

+1! Awesome Work!

you need a whip to stun them. In addition you can jump over them.

I think i’m not the only one who noticed the /rank emote (r40) is quite annoying because the “roar” sound of the tiger appears at the beginning. At this moment you can’t even see the tiger. In addition the tiger jumps out and opens his mouth….the visible effect shoes off a “roar”, but at this time there is nothing but chirping.

This makes me really hate the rank 40 emote.

I hope you’ll pay ONLY THIS TIME a little bit of attention to a SPVP (non-pve) topic and try to fix it. You just have to make the sound starting a few secounds later.

best regards.

1. No
2. No
3. NO! /faceplam

I did craft this legendary ONLY BECAUSE OF THIS SOUND. Don’t even think of it.

You can’t sell ppl a corvette but change it to a smart because you feel like it. I’m really happy that the changed it back to the intended sound.

You rather want to play star wars for pew pew?

I think your argument is invalid.

Do you want to play “My Little Pony” because you think rainbow unicorns fit there better than in gw2? /facepalm

Why did you even craft the predator (or didn’t you?) if you don’t like the sound? Thats really stupid.

@Conncept, you “don’t own the predator”, the other part of your statement is irrelevant.

I don’t want to be rude at all, but i’m HAPPY AS HELL they changed it back to the pew pew sound. I don’t want it to be destroyed again because of you.

I rather want to keep this SOUND THAN ALL OTHER EFFECTS. I don’t care about footsteps or aura, i just want to have my PEW PEW sound!

I think they just added some new hair-colors.

If they fix it….will we be able to create account bound legendaries? Or maybe if you transmute it you can give it to another character? Bound on one character sucks…i don’t want to craft another legendary because i don’t like to play warrior anymore…

I think a legendary requires enough hours + gold to be accountbound in addition.

YES, please.

It’s really annoying to get a legendary after a hundreds of hours and tons of gold spended and bound it to ONE character (and one class).

I crafted twilight for my warrior but realized about 3 weeks afterwards that i really like guardian and warrior doesn’t fit my playstyle anymore.

So what? I spent (lets say) about 500-1000h for a weapon and can’t use it anymore…

This really hurts…i’m working on The Predator right now but i don’t know how to make my new character (engineer or warrior, black or blonde hair? which name? which race?). It’s really a hard decision to make….

If the legendaries would be account bound on use (on aquire would also be WAY better…but not as important as accound bound on use) i can just make a character, play, have some fun and don’t have to care about such detail things.

Maybe in 6 months I like to play some asura….i’m afraid of it atm because weapons are so small, but i really like them, i have a lot of fun playing this race…if the legendaries would be account bound i just would try asura or maybe even charr….because I KNOW, IF I WISH i can create a human and give the weapon to this guy.

I thing a legendary is such a great achievement….you should not be ristricted to one character using them.

If you don’t want to make them account bound… you can implement some kind of merchant. Lets say you have to pay 5g to UNBIND a weapon (even exotics, there are some pretty expensive weapons too). After unbinding it’s soulbound on use again (BUT YOU CAN’T trade in tp or send ingame mail now) and you can give it to another character. This would be also a nice gold-sink!

I’m pretty sorry for my bad english

Still bugged, all other legendaries get more and more epic but Eternity is just crap….

I wish we could ever get a statement to this topic…

Eternity should be way better than sunrise/twilight.

At the moment it’s even less epic <.<

This isn’t even a debate. Anyone trying to defend illegal gold buyers is doing so for their selfish reasoning.

Agreed, this post is a pointless one. Gold sellers and buyers should be banned, If you want to buy gold, then log in, go to the gem store, buy gems and then convert it into gold, thats what i do, if i need gold.

Its ANets party and they havnt invited any gold sellers lol.

end of

/thread

this! I thought “are you kidding…?!” while reading this topic.

Drarnor, do dungeons, just like Grezko said.

@bugmug, there are several threads about this topic. And like i said, there isn’t any problem. Maybe you know demand and supply? Other people also want to buy their precursor, if they farm more than you, the’ll get it instead of you, as simple as that.

Thats not true. If you farm cursed shore/dungeons and other stuff you can EASILY make 10-20g/day. That would be about 600g in 2 months. If you had farmed since the game was released you would have like 1500g.

I know thats maybe not fun, but if you want to have a legendary within a few months you really have to farm a lot. If you play and just have fun you don’t can make that much money, but it’s your decision.

5g/day isn’t casual gaming? /laugh

“Oh man, your real life must suck…”

Because i know how to make fast money?

Dude i have 2 legendaries atm and there isn’t any problem to get them without exploiting/gambling or other stuff.

You want to have a legendary? Go on and do something for it.

@kellian, if you really save your money you would have much more than 20-25g. You can make this amount of money easily within 2 days.

Btw. I know there are some spikes in the prices of the precursor, and i don’t like ppl monopolize the market, but other ppl also have to pay a lot of gold for precursors.

Remember, a legendary weapon is intended to be a long term goal, if you don’t have any legendary within 2 months there is no problem at all.

First of all please improve the legendaries. Eternity especially. It’s really ugly compared to twilight/sunrise. Nothing special there.

On top of that you even lose some effects.
