Guild Wars 2

I just can’t see taking it over thieves guild though…like EVER. And as far as timing goes, it takes a whole second just to cast. So you’re locked up for a second, to lock up your enemy for a second and a half….makes no sense to me at all. I think it’s a very weak elite.

So, why should I take this elite? I mean as far as I can tell it’s a 1.5 second stun…..that’s it. Why do so many people take this in their builds…seems kind of weak to me for an elite.

OR……have maw only target players……..not that complicated.

I think they’re just leftovers from Halloween, I’ve seen that one too.

kratan.4619:

Title should read “Some Players Want Duels”, dueling is just a horrible addition to any MMO, it serves no purpose AT ALL. Don’t start reciting how you are “testing” builds and kitten. People are looking for more ways to grief others.

Even if there is an option to auto decline duels you will still have the kittenbags who run around hoping to find someone who is unaware of the option and will try to get them to “accidentally” hit accept just to grief people.

People really don’t have the patience to actually just wait for the bounty/dungeon/event for which they have chosen to wait?

People aren’t that stupid……….. Even if they do accidentally hit accept, there’s no gear damage, no death penalty, no respawn, then after they can go into their options and turn off the duel option.

No Walking.6349:

Costume Brawls (something that nobody does outside of when they have to for dailies) was added before duels…..

What was anet thinking exactly?

I hate duels. I hate the duel system in most MMOs. I have blocked so many annoying “duelists” in other MMOs just for this.

Costume brawls are voluntary. You “suit” up and go. It’s a blast to me because it’s not a bunch of little morons running around asking for duals to ppl that just don’t care to. Almost irritates me as much as the old gold moochers did.

This. I hate duels with a passion. I turned off duels in WoW because some kitten would always plop down out of nowhere and want to duel when I was in the middle of farming or whatever.

If A-Net never put in a dueling system, I wouldn’t give it a second thought. Just one less checkbox I have to check in the options panel.

So you’re going to take out a major part of a game that many players would absolutely love to have, simply so you don’t have to go into your options a single time and check a single box?

Yeah….selfish

Shootsfoot.9276:

Yeah, I don’t understand the crying about other people having the option to duel, either.

Exactly, with the option to block duel requests in the options it doesn’t affect them AT ALL. Yet here they are QQing about people who love to duel, and saying we should have to go through WAY more trouble than we should have to just to be able to do it.

So from what most of you are saying….if we players who like duels want to duel…we need to coordinate on the forums, go to the mists, then into a private server, or hope to stumble upon a group of people dueling???

That’s not fair AT ALL. If I’m with a group of people waiting for a bounty, or waiting for a dungeon group, I want to be able to duel people to burn time right there. Just add in an option to automatically block duel requests in the menu, and all you people QQing about duels will be fine.

Does anyone seriously prefer having costume brawls over duels? Duels are a huge part of MMOs….

So if I want to duel another player, I’m going to need to:

1. Find a person, go to the mists, then take them to a PvP server with 0 people in it
2. Create a private server (in the future) and then go through the same process as above
3. Organize with other servers on the forums to meet in WvW
4. Hope to find a group of random players dueling in WvW

This isn’t fair AT ALL. Add an option to block duel requests in the menu for the people who don’t like duels, and give us PvPers the option to duel where and when we want to!

Why is Anet so confused with how to balance PvE with WvW? They said with their GwGuru Q&A that they are spending a lot of time refining builds that may work well in PvE, but are useless in WvW. Why are they spending so much time on this when the answer is right in front of them? Here is what they do:

Allow different builds for WvW and PvE…Duh!

You already switch to a different build when you go into PvP, why not switch when you go into WvW? That will deal with this whole balance PvE with WvW issue…

Long Bow for guardians….. no
Hammer for Engineers….. yes
Great Axe…. sure, why not lol.

That and $10 for a perma pick is pretty stupid…..Ori pick axes are cheap as hell.

That time penalty is in place in other MMOs and other games, still doesn’t prevent people from leaving.

In tournaments you are FORCED to stay in the game until the match is over, still doesn’t prevent people from just AFKing

Nothing will stop people from leaving matches, it’ll always happen sadly.

Yeah, they’re called guardians

How about just not tell them what gear you have and what damage you’re doing? It’s not like they have any way to check.

ALL bosses should be like Lupicus in difficulty.

Nintendo wasn’t hard, you were significantly younger.

/thread

Well he could very well create the ultimate monster of death…but it would only take 5 players to kill, and would just take like 5 minutes of fighting without any real challenge or strategy required. Not too much of a threat IMO ;-)

TESO’s PvP has been uncovered as a complete failure already.

Oh right, I totally forgot that there are people who can see into the future :/

No, but there are people who have played their PvP in BETA and found it to be poorly implemented almost feeling like an afterthought rather than the primary focus.

Hmm…..it’s too bad you can’t provide a link to prove this statement Go ahead and try

http://www.keenandgraev.com/2013/03/20/ruin-3-faction-mmo-pvp

Is one example of many….. but googling is just too tough for some people.

This article is 100% opinion buddy, far from the “uncovering” that you have said has happened. Again, I’m waiting for a link…

He probably had stability. Sword/warhorn and a GS will get you a LONG distance with their skills.

1. Leavers being allowed at all in tournaments, the “hardcore pvp” option.
2. No rating system at all besides leaderboards (useless), and glory (can get through casual pvp).
3. downing 3 people, then having them all rally off of a single kill, the biggest failing of this pvp system.

Sorry, but GW2’s dreams as an e-sport are long gone. Maybe we’ll have better luck with TES:O

So someone who has played the game longer shouldn’t have more achievement points? Lol….no.

Discuss!

• Masquerade coat, pants, boots, shoulders
• Heavenly gloves
• Heritage light mask

• Starting Thief hood (on my ranger oh yeah)
• Zho’s gloves, legs, coat, and shoulders
• Heritage boots

• Vigil Helm
• Arah Legs
• Barbaric gloves, boots, coat, and shoulders

Simple fix is right-click to remove buffs. Strange thing that is missing from GW2.

Grendel.7918:

after april they’ll rise a bit. during april they’re going to drop like rocks. i strongly suggest you sell any you have immediately then buy them later on in the month when there’s an excess. they’ll rise by a few gold over the next year.

Unlikely, considering they’ll be back in a couple months with the release of new worlds. Devs have hinted at it coming back every couple months or so, instead of yearly.

After April, do you think super weapon skins will go up or down in price?

Halloween skins went down right after, then way up after a couple months. Wintersday skins have been super cheap for a long time. What will happen to these skins? They worth holding onto?

Everflame.1305:

Well Anet, I commend you on you timing. I was literally just in the process of getting the thirst slayer achievement when your update ensured I will now never get a completion. Barring some future event-related method of attaining a swift completion, I highly doubt that anyone, in all the days to come, will ever get this achievement. I actually thought it was kind of cool that you had to know exactly where to go and what to do to get this done. Some might have seen this as an exploit, but I saw it as savvy game playing.

The truly frustrating aspect of this, is that now the only people to have the achievement are those who got it before the update, giving them an permanent edge on points.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for challenges and achievements that are difficult and time-consuming to attain (eg. giant slayer), but thirst slayer is now just silly.

You obviously never tried to get the drinking achievement in Gw1……… 80g is NOTHING compared to what it took in Gw1

Why is angry cloud so angry?

I’m stuck at 5/7, so far I have…

• sling shot
• whip
• shovel
• bombs
• Torch

What am I missing and where can I find it?

Anyone else stuck at 26/27 for this achievement? I followed all the bridges and arrows but never got the achieve.

Just wondering if you have to kill all the bee-dogs to get their baubles that they carry, or if these count as baubles from enemy kills.

Been trying to get 100% baubles on zone 1 for a while but can’t seem to find some.

SIGNED Please make this happen!

They didn’t say the auction house was bad for D3, they said the real money market was bad for it. The TP isn’t real money.

Why would they sticky this….they already have a build sticky.

You’re not a mod, and you’re telling people to do things in the forums….just kinda makes you look like a tool man.

This is the ranger forum, to discuss ranger things. So if it has to do with rangers, discuss away!

Anything else besides opinions here? I’m wondering if anyone has had good experiences with full magic find.

Wondering what the best thing to do with these items is for maximum profit, so what do you do with…

1. Bags
2. Mats
3. Blues
4. Greens
5. Rares

First time farming Orr, so help is appreciated.

Was thinking of good ways to grind out gold, and because I hate playing the TP I’m looking at farming Orr or instances. Is getting magic find, or gold drop increase, worth it?

What are some experiences of people who have maxed out on magic/gold find? How much do you get per hour?

Our branch attack would be ranged at least. But because of a graphical glitch they would remove the ability to use it….

Whole video should be switched to rangers. So funny though!

Random person on the internet considers leveling a ranger to have been a mistake…….

so?

You put a ranger into WvW without any ranged weapons….there is nothing else to say…

/thread

Take penetrating shot and you’ll get more kills than any other class, making it easier to level in WvW.

That’s not the issue with rangers, there are so many other issues though….
