Guild Wars 2

1) New system will make you rely more on Dodges rather then Powering your builds.
2) New players won’t know what was prior so they won’t care, plus they’ll learn better 1)
3) Old players who still haven’t learned 1) will be forced to do this now
4) Don’t complain before you try it.
5) Forum people wanted players to up-their game and skill, you got it.
6) Relax. It’s not the end of the world nor does it damage this game. It’s time for the devs to focus on stuff like this so that people finally learn their professions and make Events like Wurms a lot more organized and easier.

So I’ve noticed and correct me if I’m wrong but in bigger scaled Events where you have a lot of mobs attacking a Camp, if you go Soldier’s or anything else you’d get a lot less drops then if you wore Berserker’s? Is this correct?

I think if the Tagging System isn’t adjusted a bit, nothing other then Berserker’s will ever be viable in PvE, because basically we’re forced to do highest DPS to fill the criteria for our drops, or the other 20 Berserker’s will take our spot in the “DPS ladder” and we end up empty handed.

I don’t think Berserker’s is the problem, as the not-being-able-to-wear-anything-else if you want drops.

I’m glad how the Ele balancer is working now. It’s slow but we’re getting loved now. So Thank You whoever you are. <3

There is a purple miasma energy cloud floating down there where the drill is… but that’s about it.

I would like to point this out before it even starts…

It doesn’t seem logical to me that 1 Mistforge Hero’s GS is worth the same as 1 Mistforge Hero’s Axe… and that we are not able to get a 2nd piece of a 1H weapon.

Some of us really want a complete look (2x Mistforge Hero’s Axe, Dagger, ect…)

So basically if our server win we’re forced to go to 2H weapons because we’re not gonna be able to match the skin if we choose 1H.

Just sayin’.

IMO Eles are in the right place, it’s just that they made some innovative improvements to other classes that made Eles outshinned by all.

You gotta remember that Eles were the first revealed and they had an idea how it would work, but somehow down the road other classes got photoshopped while we stayed all-naturel. It’s time for our retouch, and I hope we see it in the Feature Build

Well there are far too many power cores out there since basically everyone crafted 1 backpiece and saved cores for just in case if they decide to go after other

There is a mystic toilet recipe to make blade shards.

There is? Do you know what’s needed?

EDIT: Ah nevermind, it’s on wiki, I just searched the wrong place…

It’s not like you’ll be able to use them without farming a huge amount of account-bound Blade Shards… I don’t get it

Go do the frikin Hearts/DE’s/Explroe the World! WHy is everyone so obsessed with getting to lvl 80 with tomes/crafting. Even if you get it to 80 you still need Waypoints to move around

Level 500 is enough for me

Is that Spring Tide dye you got over there?

LordByron.8369:

Apocalypse = global destruction
Elepocalypse = ele destruction

Hahahaha in the end I think this is what we’ll get :P. I’ve stopped getting overhyped in a long time. We’ll see ANet, we’ll see

<— Poor kid in LA still waiting on a Twilight gift

Champs are very welcome in a map. Instead of “nerfing” Queensdale, move the meta to Cursed Shores…. Move it to Southsun Cove… Move it to Malchor’s Leap, heck even Straits!

This is the only game where starter zone gives better loot then top zones. Which is weird to me. Is it weird to you?

From a medical aspect: people need a way to release their stress, and shouting is one way of reducing the stress factor.
Shouting: Expansion! Expansion! Is a way for Canthanborns to lower their yearning for home. SO here I go CANTHA, CANTHA! (I’m done for the day, cya tomorrow)

Ele is a fine class. (WvW, & PvE)
I will elaborate some more on my statement.

I had an ele “A R C H O N” from GW1 with Obsidian Armor.
This was my favorite set of all of them.
This was also the first set I made.

I have a great fondness for this armor set and if I had a way to make my ele remind me of playing GW1 Ele I would feel much stronger attachment to the character/ invest more time into it. I hope that helps clear up any confusion.

PS: To all the Ele’s who drop FGS <3 u

Ahh too bad you you didn’t continue playing it in GW2. I’m an Ele 4 Life, though the rain and the storm (probably caused by another Ele).

Anyways to stay on topic seeing how Tormies returned, I hope we get a chance at our favourite armor too.

OIIIIIO.7825:

+1 would play ele if this was added

Aww Eles have so much qualities to love about. Don’t say it like that. :P
Remember it would be a Scholar Light Armor available for Ele, Necro, Mes… just using the good looks of the Obsidian Ele design.

We could use some Battle Mage armor for our Scholars. Please, please, please

I’m hoping they completely remove Conjures (Even though it would sadden many, including me, in different WB fights) and give us real weapon choices instead.

If Eles are Master of Attunement I don’t see a reason why we should have this 1 Attunement weapon, which frankly has usually 1 or 2 skills that are useful others are just junk and not worth wasting charges on.

This is radical, but I think they should completely redo Ele’s utility and traits accordingly. 1 useless Glyph, those Conjures… why’d I settle for an Ice Storm on a Conjure when they could make it on a Bow set that we get. Same goes for Fiery GS.

I think what they thought since Ele was the first to come out, they thought that this was easy and didn’t realize how complex Eles were in the end. Now this is a true challenge for game developers. How to fix some parts of the Ele Core.

P.S. Fun fact: It took them until release of GW2 to fix the Exhaustion issue in GW1 Ele, so I don’t think we’ll see major Ele changes. They’re just not that into us.

I love the ideas what OP suggested and I can see this being added as a mandatory Personal Story instance. Reached lvl 60.. here, you need to successfully dodge and evade this boss for (10?) times before you weaken him enough to do damage, ect…

I think it became clear to everyone how much general players lack skill, and I’m not talking about newbies (They’re forgiven, I’m talking about people who play this game for a while now and are to lazy to do anything but go afk while auto-attacking).

Instead of spending 10 hours AFKING in Gendarrian Field/LA go join a hot spot and other PvPers will make you learn your skills faster.
I remember when I got a new Mouse and Keyboard and played with Elementalist and my mouse had like 12 buttons. I was a newb there but it didn’t stop me to master it. Once your BRAIN learns the mechanics later it becomes easier, but it takes time. For some a short time, for others longer time…

Also, take your time and read up on your Skills, see what they do. Read up on TRAIT, on UTILITY, see/learn what they do… At least do this for your main character…

I’ve been farting a year and a half about Foci and they just don’t care about it. Enough noise from one man…

Ether way I collected close to 100 Glory Boosters just to prove a point in what position Elementalists are in this game so yeah, I’m going to say bye bye to all of them since I had no use of them in this current Meta. Good-bye!

Ice Ele isn’t reliable… you can’t control when they’re going to use ice field.

No, but you can see it coming with the huge move they’re making. That’s enough time to prepare and fire off a blast finisher.

Ele is weak now, adding more Ice Field to me is “reasonable”. The whole water/ice field/spells on ELE need major improvement seriously.

They may need improvements, but you gotta remember that ice fields are inherently very strong. Most skills that cause chill only cause 2 or 3 seconds of chill to begin with. Each projectile finisher going through an ice field will cause 1 second of chill. A blast finisher will create an AoE armor of frost that will make any ally that gets hit cause 1 second too. And then there’s the chill from the field itself too. So making a skill an ice field has the potential to make a skill cause at least 5 seconds of chill or more. So that’s not something that should be added lightly.

As for the water fields, those are actually ok. They’re not meant as monk-style main heals for the group, but they can be blasted to heal for quite a bit. Water fields are very much used in WvW for exactly that reason.

Water Trident, instead of water field… maybe add back knock back like they promised in GW2 preview movie 2 yrs ago.

It may be a case of 1 skill doing too much, and there’s always the risk that combined with offhand dagger, you get too many easy knockdows on a single set. But it is an interesting idea, and probably easier to balance than adding combo fields to everything.

I’d be actually quite happy if we had more options for Water Fields but an “Ice” spell can’t leave a water field.
As for 5 seconds of chill, I don’t see a difference with the current (enter number) duration on stacking Immobilize, they only imbalance I can see is in the Aura implementation.

Farmed enough for two extra backpieces and with the right cores I’m safekeeping them! No value is higher then the value on your backpiece that says: We faced Scarlet at our door, and that day we brought the fight to her.

This was discussed plenty of time and ANet doesn’t have an issue with farming BLK, so your try to deminish that farm won’t work.

GW2 has placed foundations to Housing so sometimes in the future they might do it. Note is on the might.

Belenwyn.8674:

All events and encounters in the presence should be delivered via Living World. This gives the feelings all happens in real-time. When a LW chapter ends it becomes a chapter of your PS. The devs just have to adjust/transform the LW temporary events to the instances used within PS. PS will be a flashback to encounters in the past.

This is actually a nice idea. Although to me it sounds too complexed to make. Because we do have our current playerbase that are following the story every two weeks, but what about new/returning players? They will also have to defeat the Dragons because that’s the Plot in Guild Wars 2. How to satisfy both, I dunno.

Hello, I came here to leave my issue with the Tormented Staff, discussed in detail here:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Tormented-Staff-seriously/first#post3723185

The posts above seems quite contradictory to each other.

Let me clear something out, Living Story is the story about the Past that’s why you can’t redo it now. Personal story is your Character’s story of evolution and it’s plotted around defeating Dragons. Since now we have another reason to continue our battle it seems quite logical that they would move to Personal Story again.

Remember, in 3 years there will still be new players that will experience the demise of the dragons for the first time… and that’s why we have Personal Stories.
They will not be able to defeat Scarlet, making Living Stories, past tense.

A stick, ANet… A STICK!! Is that what they call a Staff now? Even Gnarles would disapprove! A stick!!!
I’m even scared to purchase it because it would probably break on my way home!

This is what a Staff should look like…

When I was a little kid, I used to break off tree branches, and use them as wands pretending to slay dragons. So don’t knock sticks, since they can take you to a magical place.

Here, have a free Princess Wand from me

Avascar.9237:

…But aren’t staffs sticks anyway? Not really long wands?

Staves have a define form but shouldn’t be so thin… I think it even clips though the hand how thin it is…

TChalla.7146:

Oddly enough, I like the looks of the new one better.

/shrug

It’s a great design but the stick…. It’s a STICK maaaan… so thin!

A stick, ANet… A STICK!! Is that what they call a Staff now? Even Gnarles would disapprove! A stick!!!
I’m even scared to purchase it because it would probably break on my way home!

This is what a Staff should look like…

It seems fitting that we start getting Personal Stories after these events, rather then continuing with Living Story 2.0

P.S. Please NO spoilers regarding Scarlet and no direct talk about the events. Thanks

EoTM is a big new zone you must admit. They never specify where the zone would be added.

What they really care is the 1200 reward chest, for a rare chance for Molten Jetpack and whatnot… so in the end they win afking much more then a casual would because they’re there every hour, while doing something else on the computer or watching tv,etc…

Shouldn’t we have an incorporated the increased Water/Ice combo fields in Water attunement like we have in Fire. Would make some support builds much more viable…

Also adding that type of field to other weapon sets other then Staff like:
Frozen Burst – ice field
Shatterstone – leaves an ice field after explosion
Maybe even adding a Water field to Water trident.

your friends can always guest on your server

What I miss in this game is the fact that you rarely meet people while traveling. Most just WP from point A to point B and you don’t actually meet random people on the roads in Tyria as you do in other games.

I wish there was an official topic on how to solve this type of “emptiness” in zones. Maybe with less waypoints, adding other fun ways of traveling because even though it’s convenient to use WP we still miss a lot of the game, as a Vet I do enjoy walking by foot but it just feels like you play a singleplayer RPG in 80% of the time because everyone now WPs.

And in my logic, it’s a waste to have such a nice world but we don’t experience it anymore since we already did our 100% world maps and there’s no need to walk anymore.

IMO the biggest issue is having so many WP’s in a zone. 1 WP would be enough. You’d see a lot more people running around, you’d meet a lot more citizen, help a few, stick around and do a DE, etc…

So if any Anet folks read this is there an option to start a CDI on Traveling and World Exploration? Of course if there’s interest to talk about this subject and not just one man’s wish.

The Golem Banker in Gemstore lasts for 2 weeks from the first time it’s activated.

LOL when I say PvE in the first sentence I stopped reading the post…

+1 for (insert God name) HEAVY, MEDIUM, LIGHT armor in Gem store!

Merse Deska.6795:

She’s trying to release her sister Snarlet far below under Lion’s Arch.

Coming soon! Living Story 2.0
Snarlet and Scarlet

I predict LS 3.0 Snarlet and Scarlet met Starlet, Tyrian pop icon.

I’d love to see the people behind Arena Net/Guild Wars 2. Some insight what goes on in the process of making the content, but the focus should be on the people of ANet, although few selfies from Queen Jennah would be very nice

Tanith.5264:

She’s trying to free UberQuaggan, of course. What do you think all these quaggan tonics are dropping for?

Oh no! Please not! Just not… NOT…. QUAGGANZILLA!!!! RUUUUNNNN

TheFool.4589:

Don’t you guys pay attention? There’s a huge amount of magic under lions arch. I forgot what they called them…..something with a h?

lay lines is what you are looking for. and yes if you’ve been paying attention she found the main lay line of magic under LA and is drilling towards it.

We know what, we just don’t know WHY.

I guess people just don’t read or pay attention to the LS…

I’ve been paying attention buy ley lines mean nothing to me if I don’t understand their importance and impact on humans!

Neural.1824:

She’s trying to get her precursor

Heh haven’t we all been there

Galespark.7835:

Nabuko Darayon.9645:

Tyrians… you better not defeat Scarlet until she finds whatever she’s looking for!!!

It would be funny if we stop her before she finishes drilling and never find out what she was after. Anet’s way of punishing speed clearing, if only we had worn more clerics…

ANet’s way to send tribute to Monks of GW1

Tyrians… you better not defeat Scarlet until she finds whatever she’s looking for!!!
