Guild Wars 2

Fair enough I do agree it would look nice. But I don’t think I deb will answer to this or my post for the engineer head skin from the tool tip image. I hope you get what you want though!!!

As much as I like the idea lets spread the other weapons around before we ANOTHER class a great sword. Lets give the other weapons some love. What about a thief hammer or longbow?

I agree with Excalibur, this was by far no means a troll thread. Mobility needs to be upped for thieves. Warriors can out run a thief any day, with their leaps, whirls, dashes. etc.

This was my attempt to science up that warrior vs thief speed debate a few weeks ago.

To bad your distance traveled doesn’t really matter. Give me one example you and an enemy player are raising each other to an objective. Theirs have access to stealth which is the biggest mobility due to the fact you don’t know where to attack where and what you can’t see. And a 3 difference is pretty good for a class that requires mainly on melee combat for effectiveness and the thieves lack of twirl or charge attacks it seems very fair.

yeah, thief is mobility king because it can disengage anything it wants, whenever it wants, and really fast.

they’re also excellent roamers due to that.

Exactly thank you. Thieves 80% of the time control the direction of the battle.no one needs to get somewhere faster then the other unless Anet adds a racing mode. If so give my necro a teleport through the underworld.

It’s pretty simple guys just put a cool down on dropping siege of maybe 5-10-15 mins. If said troll continues then you should feel bad that they’d rather enjoy their time slightly annoying people then stop and do something productive and fun like helping the server. And to counter this I would say that commanders get no cool downs so that stuff like stone mist and keeps are still take able. As for map chat, make either shorter chat limit then Pve or allow commanders to temporarily mute people in chat for 10-15 minutes with a 25 minute cool down. And it stacks if multiple commanders do it.

Hahaha this is fantastic!

I will have to remember this method of ‘helping’ my team next time I am told to “F Off Scrub” when I ask to join a party or ask where I can be of most help.

Maybe you elitist WVW D-bgs could learn a lesson from this and actually be friendly and helpful to players new to WVW for a change.

You can bet your brainless skull that if you ever spit on me again in WVW I am gonna troll your supplies till you run and cry on the forums… kinda like this. LMAO

Great, way to stoop down to the age of insecure 11 year old who didn’t get accepted into a party. Mellow out dude either join a wvw guild or simply leave to another map, server, or Zerg. Why act like a 2 year old and waste stuff that hurts your entire server over 2 or 3 kittens that ruined your day. :/

That would be amazing….

Oohhhhh interesting…..

Yeah engineers have only on armor and that’s magi tech and its nice but we have to many freaking eye googles. Despite that we choose between a pirate or a thief.

I hate how when you sheath your weapons like sword sword or dagger dagger they always go at your hips and become practically invisible to others around you. Whereas, staves and greatswords get more love by actually laying on your back. If I have S/S equipped I would live to see them make an X on my back rather then side to side on my hips.

D/P is a nice combo for the stealth. Buts really how you want to play not all thieves have to go full zerker

Yeah I know and us along with eles and warriors got another damage debuff :/

It’s all about stacking combos really for me static field then earth 2 and 5 through static fields creates a decent stun with an awesome 6 stacks of bleeds then cripple and quick swap to water and drop water 2 and 4 ( water one skill for staff is really only for wvw gate ac spam protector) then quickly swap to fire and spam as many skills as possible and it puts most at 2/3 health and continue with controling the enemies movement. its all about war of attrition. I simply out live my opponents. I don’t need crazy damage fire five only crits about 1500-1600 each hit with full soldier gear running a 20/15/0/20/15. Using your utilities like mist form is good for survivability and then lightning flash to help save yourself from tight situations. And then I use arcane wave because its an amazing combo finisher.

I used the tornado on hills in WvW at the bridge and mocked 15 people off before I died

As long as it doesn’t have a pop up option that would be fantastic. I would hate to be in PvE and have a troll challenge me to a duel and accidentally duel him by unknowingly clicking accept. And also in fractals, WvW citadel, and in lions arch it shouldn’t be allowed to duel, other that it would and amazing implement to test your skills.

What? I destroy people with staff ele no meter which mode I’m in….

There’s a slight problem. Gust would have to actually hit first. Other then that I see why not shockwave and gust have the same cool down so it would really make a diffrence

Oh no trust me I am. But I don’t really think the community would be do volatile if they were more responsive I garantee that in every forums section there is a small population that has some things they don’t like about the game trivial things like mist, stealth, and elixir s finishers are okay and people just kinda need to get over it because they’re unique feutures to certain classes. But most of the deep seated anger lies in the inconlusive problems with certain aspects. I understand no game is perfect but they have made it pretty good so far. For example, people are angry because engineer gadgets and turrets are unviable in any situation, wvw server matchups and rankings still have their issue, multiple bugs and issues have been reported and still continue in the game a Anet could stop this angry mob of pitchforks with simple replies and updates.

Okay let me make this a little more simpler you want to copy a friends homework and they say yes of course you can copy anytime. You feel the need not to ask right away because you have plenty of time before the next period but when you try and ask for it again they become unresponsive and almost oblivious to the issue of the homework but its too late now the period is almost over and you don’t have a enough time to copy. Whereas your other friend says yes of course you can copy just give me 15 minutes to find it. 15 minutes passes and they come by apologetically mentioning they either didn’t finish it or they left it at home. But this at least gives you time to find another’s HW. Of course this isnt about copying HW but rather the decensy to allow Anets community for GW2 to have something to look forwards to except a small two week window. And actually acknowledgement of class issues and bugs.

Ok thanks guys for the help I guess if I would have noticed that wvw probably isn’t the best place for exotic farming though I wish it did. It would make wvw very appealing to a lot more players.

Chickenshoes.6250:

well if you hadn’t smoked all those cigarettes you wouldn’t be colorblind

Wow that was the most ignorant and apathetic thing I’ve ever read.

If your a staff ele you basically bought the ticket into any high level wvw guild. The ability to deal damage to arrow carts on keeps and towers is easy pie with fire and healing allies with water at gates with heavy AC fire in unreadable makes you easily the most important and key players in the server, next to commanders themselves. And if you wanna run solo unequip staff and go D/D and you become a highly versatile short range threat if your good at it. And the best thing is that no other class can really pull it off like you. There are healing necrosis but eh dedicate almost all there traits and armor to just that, when their akin their screwed. You can do that but better. GO ELE.

Dustfinger.9510:

Business Savy Sardine says: “Under promise and over deliver is better than over promise and under deliver”.

That really doesn’t apply all they have to do is show progress. They don’t have to say okay “September 16th were fixing,all classes and added five petabytes of new content.” They would be smart and do work incrementally. And they don’t just all have every member on Anet just sitting in one big board room and conjure ideas in one way, unproductive method. They have teams for specific aspects of the game wether that be PvE, WvW, sPvP, and so on. These individual teams would meet up and say " Hey this isn’t working well we should…" Or " You know this could be interesting to implement…" And then report back to the community with a definitive answer.

I’m all for secrecy to keep hype for the game but, if I could speak for most of us, ill be playing for a very very long time. I love this game and my mouth metaphorically waters at the though at new weapons, content, skills, traits, etc. I don’t care if a ban hammer destroys my build ill get over it and adapt. That’s what I love about these, it is always changing. If you don’t like the game maybe in a month it would be of interest to you. The idea of new skills for current weapons, new weapons for different classes, or even new weapons entirely makes me very excited. But nothing has followed up these rumors but “in the future we hope to” or " We plan soon… but currently were busy"That being said, there’s nothing I can’t stand more than vague, and almost none informative updates or leaks. If your gonna mention new skills or weapons continue info and interact with us. Don’t just through out a tasty steak for us and then stop feeding us for the next year. If your gonna mention anything about new legendaries, maybe mention some ideas, pics, or even have a poll. And lastly, if you reply to thread about a bug, glitch, or problem don’t just acknowledge it and leave that thread like a desert full of blowing tumbleweed. Engineers have had problems with legendaries for a year and the last dev to reply to the problem was 6 months ago. Anet we like and we want to communicate with you, but you can’t possible make us happy with these distant and far between acknowledgement,un thorough comments. We won’t bite (well we probably will) but have no fear! For the one person you displease you gain much more respect from others for actually making progress and you actually showing progress. To sum it up just give us kitten visible updates, wether that be pics or dates. ( and even if you can’t make it in that specific date just apologize and push it back. You guys are humans and can’t easily pull it off but at least try)

Okay let’s say that necro somehow gets the great sword how about the number 3 skill be similar to the mesmers sword spike and instead summons a blood-hand that traps and holds the character for 5 seconds allowing the necro to move in close and damage the rest of the great sword skills.

I know it would make engineers look like engineers

Perhaps green slithering aura?

Oh I know I can buy one I’m just frustrated not a single one has dropped yet

Got my first character to level 80 and after I week still no exotic…. What can I do to change this?

Hey ricky i added you now we can hope for this together.

Yes this would come after much of engineers problems are already fixed. Give it maybe a couple thousand years

Yes this is so frustrating when I have to buy a dye multiple characters because I like it. This is just stupid.

So the engineer is the master at inventions. But why didn’t they ever think to adding wheels to their turrets I is beside me. With a cool down of x amount of seconds you summon a mech droid warrior (similar style to aetherblade/watchknight/steam punk)that has all the skills similar to your own turret skills. They would shoot nets, flames, poison volley, static discharge, etc. it would be similar to the flesh golem for necromancers but a little more versatile. Once deployed, you could sacrifice it for a random assortment of boon of 5 boons one always being stability. At the end of the tool trait lines a grandmaster trait would give the mech droid 1/3 extra health and make it be at your side until death, reduce cool down to 80 seconds, and on death will cause a 40 chance to spawn a lesser droid for 20 seconds.

<inspired by borderlands 2 mechromancer>

The skin is just so sexy I can’t get over it why am I so obsessed. I just want it on my engineer so bad

^^^ Yeah that’s it for all you who were wondering

I know I would totally pay for skin just so my engineer looks kitten

^ I’m trying to figure out what that’s supposed to mean

I know you would think they would be in the game instead as just background concept art

I want the head skin from the image of the tools trait line for engineers….

Yeah I want this to be a better version then the asuran golem suit simply so every engineer can benefite it from not just simply asuras. (My engis a human)

And perhaps for the sake of the elite having this adapting nature, the ability to change your skills could be activated so that the suit could be summons and simply provide you with stability, protection, aegis, retaliation, and fury. This way you could have a p/p p/s or rifle build and still have access to your weapon and utility skills

I do like that idea of kits effecting the skills of the gear suit. Much how your utility effects your tool belt maybe your third utility effected the gear suit. So for your third gear suit lets say you have the flamethrower kit equipped when activating the gear suit you would have an upgraded more powerful version of the kit. For any elixir the gear suit would become a super buffer where you could throw elixirs at allies and give them a range of booms and support ( life would be increased with the use of elixirs in the suit so you could be useful for healing and aiding your allies). With any gadget equipped your suit would be installed with five supreme gadgets such as the number one skill would be a close up whip attack( much like the silvary attack you see npc’s use) and other interesting and useful skills (this would make an actual melee build without requiring a new weapon to be added to the class. Also with the gadget wired to the elite skill the cool down is decreased to 10 seconds and would function like an elite kit)
Kit#1- advanced level of kit with more damage. Cool down is pretty lengthy and multiple boons given on use.
Elixirs#2- advanced alchemist form where you would play the role of a support behind the line of fighting to add teammates giving them boons and health (would be perfect for wvw and gvg)
Gadgets#3- a little harder to put together can’t really solidify how this could work together with the new system

Anymras.5729:

I actually wouldn’t mind if it replaced the weapon skills, but as the Engineer is more heavily reliant on their Utilities and Toolbelt than most classes…I think it’d be fitting for the Engineer’s Transform skill to allow continued access to Utility Skills and the Toolbelt.
The issues with the Power Suit, in my opinion, arise not from the skills being replaced, but from how the skills replacing them are handled (the global cooldown prevents fluid transition from one attack to another, the long cast times make most attacks terribly easy to predict and counter).

Maybe it could be a defensive kit with a little cool down. Idk really I think it could many different ways or the cool down could be reduced to 50 or 60 seconds

How about this then, what if this mecha/gear suit didn’t replace your skills. And it simply was strategic use for situations. Like if there are two guardians attacking you, you summon this gear suit that will help prevent nockback and burst attacks

As most know the engineers elite skills are severely lacking in there options for using an elite skill. Mortar is absolutely horrible and elixir x is a gamble to get the version of the elite you want. Supply crate is the only decent elite as it stuns on summoning but the fact that it only spawns half functioning turrets makes it also less favorable. I had an idea that would be very cool. On a 100-120 second cool down the engineer summons a mecha armor like suit with glowing lights and floating bolts and gears. The suit of gears would provide stability for 15 seconds as well as fury swiftness power and vigor for 10 seconds. It would have a 3 second summon animation and would look similar to the elementalist earth armor except around the body and the head piece armor skin would be replaced with the gadget head in the gadget trait line image with glowing red lines. This would finally solve the issue with having the ability of gaining stability without it being a gamble. Tell me your thoughts and maybe even what else it could do. I think the 15 second of stability is the key of the elite and the other boons could be swapped and switched with others.

Dont blame arenanet blame the community. Go on your servers teamspeak and rally people up to successfully finish the event. Its time you stopped complaining and being helpless and take matters into your own hands…

Yeah I mean Gaurdian= Blue fire
Mesmer= Purple Fire
Necro….. Pending
This would make the game so much more beautiful. The same conditions but different classes make the conditions look different. Man that would be cool

Lets just pretend Scarlet never attacked during the queens speech, would could have been the big suprise? I really hope this wasn’t just a a setup just so people would think “Oh hey the Queen is speaking I really hope nothing bad happens kitten kitten ” I want to go to the freaking Crystal dessert or start chasing after another Elder Dragon… That would have bee the perfect moment to implement these

WOMEN WHERES MY SUPER SUIT!!!!!!!!
