Guild Wars 2

i just dont understand why they didnt increase the range of pistol as baseline they did it to every other wep im just pretty shore they dont read the thief forums actually no im 100% shore they dont.

Zodryn.4216:

Piercing is horrible. Any height difference makes it worthless (shoot into the sky or ground instead of the next target). Ricochet was reliable and great for tagging.

Piercing is better than having 900 max range and a big almighty bag of nothing. at least this way u can shoot your target through pets or mobs just target the one at the back your hit everyone in front job done. also just a heads up if you angle your camera your Piercing rounds will follow. so if your shooting high angle your camera to look down on your char more and your be on target (or again just target the guy at the back)

just had a thought yes i know thats dangerous

with the new war rifle knockback of 600 if a thief is knocked back and the war dodges back once a p/p thief is now out of range

sorry i should probs be constructive hear i go……………..

drop ankle shot as its more useless than telling my cat to not be a kitten

my new trait
Name: does stuff
pistols now pierce increase range by 250

no damage buff no fluff job done you can go home and have a cup of tea

im pretty shore american history would look a little different if arrows went further and pierced better than bullets just saying

only thiefs would get a “buff” (damage+ on a mainly condi used wep) and a nurf on the same none meta super niche weapon set. this set needed buffs all the buffs you removed ricochet now you removed the range giving use pretty much a useless trait. my advice just delete pistols and be done with it stop poking the dead horse. GG my main was fun running you

check out my post about it
i had a guy afk for over 5 matches reported by 5 different teams and as u can see even screen shots of him gloating about him being untouchable by the devs and that he has been reported loads of times for it with no consequences. yet hes still playing

so looks like i was right we all just have to live with it. good 2 know that i can just afk with no worry’s at all (2 days l8r) this guy has no respect for the system and no fear of getting into trouble

theirs a difference from afk a point 2 sitting in spwn not moving full game and doing that 5 times maybe even more as i left pvp after this

i think if u afk 2 much you should get moved into your own pvp arena just 1 map and your teamed up with other afkers and you have to win 10 games before your aloud bk. so you have 2 get your afkers to stop afking

screen shot 2 hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

had a guy that afk for 5 games :/ each time for a different reason (off meta players or “noobs”) and we all reported him again and again and his answer to this was “ive been reported hundreds of times for afk nothing happens” is this really true that people like this can treat new players or people off meta like kittys without getting in trouble at all. can we get a response if reporting for lfg abuse is the right answer or do we just have 2 live with this. in my years of playing pvp this is the one thing that always makes me go bk to wvw

i gave them a year free to set themselves up XD

Qugi.2653:

Mr Vivi Ornitier.4271:

1. Add an option to remove player names, this would improve meta events/all events massively as monster/s wont be hidden by names like “sir frumpy loops the 3rd”

Check option setting. You can do this.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Options

What is this witchcraft you speak off XD logging in now to find this

ok deep breath deeeeeep breath lets be constructive vivi center yourself

I shouldn’t need to be saying these things or coming up with these ideas after 2 years but hey looks like you could do with a hand
(ok now the constructive part)

I’ll split this into 3 sections

THE EVENT (Mordrem attack)

1. Add map reward to this event, it will give people a goal to join up and work as a team this would have been great to show the new players what gw2 players can do when they work as one
2. If this event was meant for the new guys thennnnnn why the massive gold sink? And if it was for older players then why the random (lets say less than optimal) rewards for the time in game?
3. I did one event chain and I felt so bad for what I did, I left the event and didn’t do any events again. I spotted a downed player on top of a bomb. Did I ress them? Ohhhh no, I picked up the bomb, chucked it at the event to tag into it, then waypointed to next event letting them die. Why was I rewarded for this? I wasted all my rewards as I didn’t feel like I should get anything. No jokes, I bought sand.
4. i would have been happy if you just copy, pasted and re skinned the sliver waste event mechanics just with different loot and purchasable rewards

THE GEM SALE

Items that should have been on sale and at the price I would buy them for
1. Bunny ears 900000gems (ok joking aside, I would spend 1600 gems)
2. Aviator glasses 1600 gems
3. Wizard hat 1600 gems
4. Old armour skins like zodiac
none of these need to be on sale, full price would have been fine

(i would like to just add you can tell how well the sale went by the gem to gold transfer rate. it went pretty bad with most people buying items with gold and not money)

Little tweaks
(im a dumb kitten forget this last one XD)
1. Add an option to remove player names, this would improve meta events/all events massively as monster/s wont be hidden by names like “sir frumpy loops the 3rd”

very true but atm their is a massive feeling that every dev is working only on HOT and this would remove some of that

A common comment I’ve seen in all forum threads is this “are devs reading this” or “can we get a response from a dev” or “notice me senpai” and the truth is this: devs are reading these post they either didn’t comment because they have answered the question elsewhere or they don’t have the answer yet and don’t want to add confusion or spent 20 hours a day commenting over and over “not sure about this, I’ll find out and let you know.”

So my suggestion is this: have it so if a dev reads a thread a little tick appears next to that thread so people will be like “oooOOOhhhhHH senpai noticed me” this will make the forums show that the devs are looking around and are working on these threads

While I’m hear I would also like to thank all the devs for all their hard work. Yes I will complain sometimes and get grumpy at some stuff but that doesn’t mean I hate the game. In fact I’ve been playing this game for 5947h and I plan on playing a lot more so again thanks (and if a Senpai could notice this thread that would make my day)

and to the full heal being useful to cast hmm not really because your have a 3s cast time for it easy to cc it would be more helpful if you just keep the passive

true time warp is on a longer cool down but mesmers will be able to cast it twice with new elite spec i would gladly take a longer cd for a skill with taunt

Tome of Wrath: This ability has been replaced by a new Shout: “Feel My Wrath!”
“Feel My Wrath!”: Grant fury for 10 seconds and quickness for 5 seconds to nearby allies. Cooldown 30 seconds.

to put it simply this is not an elite level skill its more of a utility level skill lets take into account that all classes now can give them self quickness with no drawbacks such as

Haste: (Thief) This ability no longer removes endurance. Gain Fury in addition to Quickness when activating this ability.
Quickness: 6 s
Breaks Stun
and x amount of fury

yes this is only on them self but you get my point and it gets worse when you compare it to Time Warp

Time Warp: This skill is now classified as a Glamour. It now pulses 1 second of slow every second on foes in the affected area in addition to it’s previous effect of quickness on allies.

Quickness: 1 s
Number of Targets: 5
Pulses: 11
Duration: 10 s
Radius: 360
Combo Field: Ethereal
Range: 1,200
Slow 1s
Number of Targets: 5
Pulses: 11

so 11s of quickness and 11s of slow

Time warp is in kitten different league when compared to Feel My Wrath defiantly when the hole point of changing the books was to give guards something to use other than renewed focus so how about this

“Feel My Wrath!”: Grant Taunt to foes and quickness for 5 seconds to nearby allies. Cooldown 30 seconds.

Taunt 3s at point blank 2s at 300 range 1s at 600

shouts are predominately used by bunker guards who normally run ever soldiers gear or clerics so fury is a complete waste to them but being able to peal foes from your allies forcing them to engage you would be a lot more helpful and would make this skill stand out compared to Time Warp

now to

Signet of Courage: Passive – While in combat, heal allies around you every 10 seconds. Active: Fully heal nearby allies. Cooldown: 180 seconds.

this will be very short and simple

Healing Signet (Warrior)

Healing: 3,275 (0.5)?
Healing Signet (effect).png Healing Signet: 362 Heal

every warrior knows this signet is more us full left and should never be activated and anet have spent alot of time and effort trying to change this. do you really think an aoe version of this would be anything different?

this is whats wrong

1. because its a signet now your foe knows your using it
2. trying to activate this full heal will result in an instant cc from any player worth their salt
3. using the signet would stop the passive heal

so what do you do you just leave it on passive. yes you could use one of your stability’s to use the heal but that means the only way you can use this skill is by wasting other valuable skills

i used Tome of Courage not just for the heal but the aoe cc and the ranged heals i would even be sneaky and switch it in between round of Academy gaming tournaments helping us win games and ive even used it in lvl 50 fractals

so to put it simply im sad to see a skill that needed skill to use be replaced by a passive skill that will ever be too op so everyone just leaves it on their skill bar for the passive or its just not good enough to compete with renewed focus

please be constructive with all comments and feel free to post your own ideas who knows the devs might even like what they read

Day events where epic, varied and like a mini story that climax into a boss battle of epicness

Night events hmmm kinda needs some work feels like no matter where you go its the same defend this event or walk this guy hear

what i would like to see

building barricades and fortifications during the day to see them slowly destroyed during the night. will we survive the night? lets hope we put enough work in during the day or events like “quick run out into the night and get supply’s to repair stuff” “good luck making it back tho mwahahahaaaaa”

if you have any questions or would like more detail ill gladly answer them

turn them into spirit weapons that follow you and their command button lets you control them for a short time (so you can toggle in and out of using them without wasting them) changing your hot bar to the current ability then go over all of the abilitys and re work them change cast times and cool downs the tome of courage is pretty good where it is with minor changed the tome of wrath needs more work. job done everyone happy gives them some nice passive effects when your not using them. this would open up counter play “do i take out the book 1st or the guard” also this would give you an elite spirit weapon

JonPeters.5630:

Wanted to run a potential idea past you all. Comments welcome.

Tome of Courage -> Signet of Courage
Passive: PBAoE Heal every 10 seconds.
Active: Light of Deliverance

Tome of Wrath -> “Feel My Wrath”
Shout that grants Quickness and Fury

We like the idea of tomes and if we did this we would hope to bring them back in a future Elite Specialization.

Thoughts? Comments?

Thanks,

Jon

the problem i see with this is why would you use these over Renewed Focus?

lets work out why people use current elites skills

renewed focus this one is easy its a invon and it recharges your vertues its good its meta

now the heal book i use the heal book because of the 3s daze, the full heal, the small ranged targeted heal, the protection and the fact i get stability

dps book massive knockback, great skill 1 damage for burn guards, retaliation for condi guard again stability

these are the problems i see with signets and shouts replaceiing book

“Signet of Courage” as a signet no daze, no ranged heal, no stability

“Feel My Wrath” as a shout no damage, no knock back, no stability

i would say keep the books so they have 5 different skills just buff them/change them and change how it works. i still like the idea of having the books as summon weapons like the shields so they can be buffed by the same traits.

maybe give tome of wrath a nice aoe fire field it can leave on the ground and Smiter’s Boon should give might and fury not might and swiftness

the heal books pretty good but maybe ever let us ress people with it out or as i suggested have it so you can toggle the books on or off eg

the book will last for 30s you use it for 5s but need to drop it to ress which puts the books commands on cool down for 5s which is enough time for you to ress leaving you with 20s left of your book which you can pick back up again (read my early comment on how this would actually work sort of like a tool kit/spirite weapon )

hear is the deal come see what you can use the heal book for im entering again into the EU Academy Gaming PVP tournament on Monday around 8pm gmt with my guard your all more than welcome to come watch normaly live streamed on

http://www.twitch.tv/brunners90/

ill be playing on my Guard Solaced

i think a good balance pass over them into a summon weapon would be best as people have stated before. these signet/shout change feel very under powered. these books are not just good because of their main skill 5 in fact sometimes i wont even use it and instead will focus on using all the other skills on the book. removing something completely that many have enjoyed and made builds for and saying you might get it back in maybe 3 years would upset me deeply

Vizardlorde.8243:

Mr Vivi Ornitier.4271:

its not just the heal that makes this book amazing the daze from Pacifism “Pacify foes, dazing them for three seconds.” 1200 radius is a amazing way to calm the battle field giving you enough time to heal up your allys or to cast your full heal also with my build i can give a power mancer over 1 min of protection with good skill rotation this turns a bunker guard into the true supporter

Ah then I see your point in wanting to keep courage. I myself dont play bunker so the changes seem fine to me as an offensively oriented guard. If only there was some way to reach a compromise making the quickness and fury from tome of wrath more accessible without killing your play style it’d be great.

you could! when you summon the tome of wrath if you have it traited have it so it procs quickness and fury on books death or at random time intervals your you could use the skill yourself drop the book and fight as normal till your need the book again

also their isnt a summon weapon elite yet this would fit perfectly into their traits decrease cool down, summon weapons burn (could do a cool thing where the book burns if you touch it giving it some defense) and have them last longer and give stabil

its not just the heal that makes this book amazing the daze from Pacifism “Pacify foes, dazing them for three seconds.” 1200 radius is a amazing way to calm the battle field giving you enough time to heal up your allys or to cast your full heal also with my build i can give a power mancer over 1 min of protection with good skill rotation this turns a bunker guard into the true supporter. sorry how could i forget healing your allys at 1200 range

turn the books into summon weapons you can toggle on and off

Tome of Courage – Summon an ancient tome that will follow your every command
(when summoned tome of courage on the skills bar turns into holy chapter)

Holy Chapter- activate to read powerful healing spells
(press switch weapon to go back to your main skills putting holy chapter on a short cool down till you can return to casting spells)

Tome Of Wrath Summon an ancient tome that will follow your every command
(when summoned Tome Of Wrath on the skills bar turns into last rights)

Last Rights – activate to read powerful offensive spells
(press switch weapon to go back to your main skills putting last rights on a short cool down till you can return to casting spells)

book can be killed by players giving counter play “do i go for the guard or do i kill the book first”

this way the books will have all the same skills but open them up to more tactical play eg dropping the book to ress someone or stomp then get right back to healing

i still like the summon weapon idea over the signet this would kill me to see the book go it would be and end to my bunker guard and my fractal piller guard

PLEASE PLEASE PLEAS dont turn the book into a signet this would be such a massive nerf of the heal book. i actually use this in high lvl pvp and in dungeons and even used it against jebros team in the academy gaming a cupple of weeks back helping my team win the match 2-0
my build

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fVAQNAW5elsApfn1CxVI0ENRCRldRkDBI2fwJkCXFAA-TJBHwALLDA4JA0b/hBXEAA

my advice is this if you want to improve them maybe go the summon weapon rout. have it so you summon the book and it follows you. you can tab in and out of the skills using the summon weapon command button. this would let you be able to switch to your main skills in times of need then switch back but giving the down side that the book could be destroyed. have it so it can be effected by summon weapon traits.

maybe having it so the books give boons around them eg heal book gives regen and when traited stability and dps book gives might and and stability when traited

again if you have any questions feel free to ask me in game if you have an arena ill even show you what the book can be done when played right (tank up to 3-4 players for 30s)

Tiny Doom.4380:

There is a fix for this problem (which apparently isn’t new) on this thread:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/support/SELFSOLVED-problem-with-1-2-files-remaining

The relevant part is a post by Chris Cleary from ANet:

“If you are still having problems, try adding this to your GW2 Shortcut Target:

-assetsrv 62.154.232.187:80

If that doesn’t work, try

-assetsrv 151.249.90.138:80

You can do this by right clicking on your GW2 Shortcut and adding the above text to your Target field. For example your target should look like this:

“C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” -assetsrv 62.154.232.187:80"

I just tried the first listed fix and now both I and my wife are in and enjoying the new bugs.

i just read that and yah sounds like it could be a fix but having to do coding and using ghost servers ectra just sounds like way to much work and it should be up to me to do the devs job

my question is this how buggy must the patch have been if this is the polished version

is everyone hear from the uk aswell?

yah its bugged as hell ive restarted but nothing thinking maybe if i go for a full re download it might work but……….. that would take so long

please keep comments constructive and give your ideas of what you would love to see who knows maybe a dev will see your comment and you might just be the face behind a beast of a new update

mine

PVP
1. a bank in the mists pretty please O_O

2. a npc that does a constant amount of damage (no knockback) maybe a condi versions so you can check your heals and condi removes

PVE
1. Raids pretty please
Three teams of five
Same length and difficulty as a level 50 frac
challenges like defend three shrines from endless mobs for x amount of time
and each team operating and defending 3 laser cannons for a dps burst (Crucible of Eternity style)

2. releasing tonics not full armor skins this one bugs me quite a lot as i love mixing 5 different armor sets and coming up with beast of a unique looks. the vanity system in this game its one of the best i have ever seen and i would love it to stay that way. I myself have 4 gem store armors sets

WVW (plz dont kill me XD)
1. now we have the mega server system pve servers are a little pointless other than loyalty (which i respect) but i would love it if all wvw servers where reset and separated from pve. “after patch” you/guild/wvw friends had to sign up to a new wvw server lets say 10 servers you can still transfer after for a price like before. I just think making wvw its own thing would bring it to a hole new level no longer winning by numbers (SFR) but by skill and tactics

2. siege disablers (i bring this up knowing theirs going to be changes to them soon but they really need a fix) maybe have it so siege get a buff once they come off disable meaning their immune to dabblers for x amount of time

hahahaaa gaile XD yaaaayyyyys all round

i wasn’t going to comment again but i will just this once XD my point for thanking them is this we actually actively changed the game for the better for players. yes it was a messy way for it to have happened people shouting at each other comments from people who have admitted to quitting the game and just wanting to add their piece but for us people who are actually playing the game right now this is a great change they changed something to help the noobys which it will and they are adding a custom button for us vets its a win win just a shame it had to go down so brutally. ive said it before polite, clear communications both way is the key

I would just like to say thank you Anet for reading this thread (even when some views were lets say.. not so politely put) and trying to work on a solution and actually making changes. Im so glad to hear that you will be adding a custom button. This is my first and last comment on this matter. I hope to see you all online soon.

my review for guild wars 2 for anyone whos looking at this page thinking about buying it.

PRO
its one of the best mmorpg’s out atm the battle system works better than most its dynamic no just spamming 1 key till something dies you have to think and fight as a team. the vanity system is one of the best ive ever had the pleasure to work with. the maps, story line and characters…….. stunning.
(spoilers) Tybalt why Tybalt take Trahearne instead :,( (spoilers)
oh and no monthly payments = win

CON
its sad to say but its biggest failing is in its costumer service sometimes its amazing truly but the rest of the time its none responsive having a game that uses social forums they should be more forth coming with bug information. come on anet save yourself some time use your own forums walk use through how the fix is going even if it is just to say ahhhh so much code FML 2s…. sweet found the bugger. bug example’s daily bug, wvw ticket bug, Chaos of Lyssa. im shore if people new what was going on instead of waiting 8 days with no reply on a game braking bug they would flame alot less
and finaly the server system needs a massive rethink dont just jump into a server thinking it will be ok you should research them or your get stuck in a dead server with no guild and no wvw

good luck people with this reset cross fingers it works only 56 mins till we find out

well even when its fixed im going 2 report that im missing items
each day every day till i get them. i dont mind the gold im down or the fact im now 8 days behind on crafting my gear. i want my laurels and my achievement points which you can never catch up on when you miss them

u couldnt do this before reset?

IM OUT…..
i give up on this its just making me mad and act like an kitten which is not like me im just going 2 play something else and ill come bk to the game at some point gg everyone and good luck

yah missing all the stuff sucks but i thinks whats worse is the lack of talking to us no info at all no idea how long it will be till its fixed could be a month as far as we know might as well just play a different game and give them are money

why cant anet just post a response
