Guild Wars 2

Very good video, I enjoyed it.

The only things I would change would be:

• mix in different maps, different scenarios, etc.
• always always always post your build and gear, either in the description or in the video
• Not required at all, but if you can match stomps and other epic moments to the music it usually turns out being awesome

Other than that, good job

This game uses the CPU MUCH more than the GPU. I would update your processor before your video card if you’re wanting better performance.

Although your GPU is pretty old too…update both lol.

A person will have to carry this ability in most new PvE content I would guess. This will make this person the “healer.”

Trinity incoming!!!

Universal healing skill?
Cures you and all nearby allies of several critical conditions?

Anyone else see the forming of the trinity here? Someone will have to carry this healing skill in groups, being the “healer” so to speak.

Not saying this is a bad thing, I think GW2 could seriously benefit from a trinity, but it’s funny that they sell the game on having no trinity, then start slowly working it in later because it allows for more interesting fights.

The skeletal hands are purely aesthetic, meaning they don’t actually have an affect on you. So this “knocking you out of a jump” that you’re talking about, it pretty much just you being bad at jumping

Nope, get to event farming bud!

Um….buddy….you do know that before the patch, most bosses went down within 30 seconds right?

And you say that players don’t want to “meet” now? Before the patch I just zoned in, got my kill in 30 seconds, and zoned out. Now I’m getting on Mumble with 100 other people to down a challenging boss. Did you even ever do boss fights before this patch?

If anything, this patch eliminated speed runs, and bettered communities. I mean look at all the community pride posts in these forums from players who have downed teq.

That video…so awesome! The timer was literally reading 0

In the last second!!!

I’m here to announce that SoR has just downed Teq after 4 tries, over 100 people on Raidcall, and with just 1 second left!!!!

Vids incoming!

Build changes your playstyle

Your playstyle determines your build

They’re the same thing bud

I personally think that every class should have access to every weapon…… Would make more sense, and give us more skills and build choices.

Tequatl is hard, but new players on turrets makes it literally impossible.

Spamming, “Everyone on turrets hit #2 when available please!” isn’t working.

Commanders are players in the community that are not new, have decided to become leaders and help others in WvW and PvE guilding people in champ runs and other content, and are perfect candidates for this suggested feature:

Enabling commanders to kick people off turrets.

It’s what a commander would do. Commanders are leaders, helpful, experienced, and know what they’re doing when it comes to GW2.

This would help.

No its just a 100g tag anyone can buy one and use it and that would make more trolls commanders to buy it and then trolls with servers

^^ This, last thing that commanders need is more power….they’re already big enough failures/trolls

For every good commander, there’s 50 others that are terrible and have no idea what they’re doing.

Yeah 5 and 6 are a pain lol. Take forever, very rewarding though.

And red and purple is fine I guess….I would rather have red and black, but as long as it’s a dark purple lol.

I have to say, I was worried for the longest time. I thought that challenging raid content would be very hard to pull off with no holy trinity, but Anet, you’ve been able to do it!!!

I feel like I’m back in Vanilla WoW, only better! Getting my server together, 100+ people all on a VOIP, all staying fight after fight, reworking strategies, reworking builds, assigning tasks, getting the boss to a lower and lower percentage every fight. This is just the hardcore PvE content that this game desperately needed!

Do this reworking for every chest world boss in the game IMO. Make every fight just this challenging. I love seeing the server come together and work together in this way, it’s amazing!!!

Gotta admit, this is probably in my top 5 biggest gaming achievements ever. Can’t wait to see what Anet brings when the next 2 worlds come along

Please, just give us black SAB weapons eventually. That would make my my entire 1800 hours in GW2 worth it

You’ve never played ANY other MMO have you? GW2 isn’t anywhere near as bad as most other MMOs in terms of balance.

PvP stat anyone?

Lol enjoy your “boycott”…you’ll all be back playing WvW in a week rofl.

They fixed this months ago, players get kill points if their enemy alt+f4s out in the middle of a fight or when they’re downed.

/thread

After looking into it a little more, it seems that Moto put the genie into the SAB to kind of “brainwash” us (the player’s character) into destroying a rivals experiment. Anyone have anything else on this?

So what does this cutscene mean exactly? I’m not sure how they expect us to know what’s going on without giving us ANY context at all…..but can anyone explain what’s happening in this cutscene?

Had this happen to me just today. Took me about 20 minutes of jumping and running around in that kitten thing, but I’m confirming that it IS possible to get out of…just frustrating as hell.

Yay I know something that nobody else was able to answer!!!

It’s cause the bananas are trolling you

Yes it’s very very possible. I’ve done it with 50-60 people several times. Seeing as how you have 5 minutes left in that picture and you only have 1 boss down, it seems like the problem isn’t that the content is hard, but that your group leaders/players need to L2P

It’s such a fun pvp zone Needs more love.

This…

So first Anet totally ruins and kills the EB JP by making it separate from WvW. This killed any and all JP PvP that happened there, because now nobody ever goes there. Some of the best PvP in the game is now dead because of this change, and the whiners that made it happen.

Now on top of that, people who want to do only the EB JP have to wait in the EBG queue just to get into it, even further killing it.

WE SHOULDN’T HAVE TO WAIT IN A 20 MINUTE QUEUE JUST TO DO A DEAD JP!

You catered to the cry babies who complained that 20 of their people are in the JP instead of mindlessly zerging around with them in brainless PvP, so now cater to those of us who actually liked the EB JP. Put the entrance to it in LA, and don’t force us to sit in a queue for something we want nothing to do with.

I never try for a daily unless I just happened to get to 4/5 by normally playing lol.

Since when do you NEED ascended items?

Lol. Ignorant posters are ignorant

They don’t require ascended accessories now, they won’t require ascended weapons later. So chill.

So many people don’t know their lore

That’s not really the point of all this.

The fact is that the name “Guild Wars” is very misleading when the game does not have any wars between guilds in it.

Misleading product names are borderline illegal in most countries.

See what I mean…..this guy doesn’t know his lore either lol.

The Guild Wars was the name of an event in GW history that actually happened…has nothing to do with in-game guilds being able to fight.

I know where the name comes from lol.

It doesn’t change the fact the name is misleading lol.

Lol.

It’s not misleading……it’s named after the guild wars that happened prior to the story in GW1. How is that misleading?

Little too easy for a hardcore gamer =/= little too easy for a casual

Drop rates are fine.

WHAT!!! STILL!!!! A whole 2 days after release!!!!! Why are they being so slow!!!

I think it’s just a cool advertisement for the new Teq encounter. Don’t think it has anything to do with Bubbles

Content coming out this often is a GOOD thing, anyone who says differently is flat out wrong.

You aren’t seeing the bigger picture. They nerfed karma rewards across the game. They introduced expensive karma recipes for ascended crafting. They added in karma only mats for crafting.

They are starting to move towards karma being a useful needed mat again. They need to drain the current supply of karma from players using these recipes and one off purchases. Once that is done they will almost certainly start introducing more karma based rewards and further reducing karma gains throughout the game.

In a few months time karma may be an important reward from events.

I wouldn’t laugh so hard… What Zudet says is exacly what’s happening. Don’t go spending all of your karma just yet.

I’ll try very hard not to spend my 2.5 million karma that I have……….

That’s all? just 2.5? When you start buying SOME of those Ascended recipes at 25,000K a pop you will wish you had more.

Oh no, you mean I’m going to have to spend 1/100th of my karma for a recipe? Whatever will I do?

lulz

Ah finally, proof that the game we’re all playing is no fun……………………….

Yeah, I have no idea what they were thinking, I mean how did that discussion around the desk at Anet go lol.

They do amazing stuff every patch…but this was just pretty hilarious. I don’t think many of them play their own game lol.

“Event failure no longer rewards karma in order to encourage players to succeed at events.”

Quote from the patch notes. Anet seems to be under the impression that farmers care about karma…..lol.

This isn’t a confirmation I notice after reading it….just that it’s not off the table. Probably means it’ll happen one day.

Wooooo Pandas!!!

Ascended rings didn’t make exotic rings useless….and ascended weapons won’t make exotic weapons useless. The stat difference is pretty negligible.

We’ve gotten an expansion’s worth of content in all the updates already…what’s the problem?

Or……………..don’t look at Dulfy before a patch launch. Just a thought…

This is why Anet needs a Cinematic team….. a video of this should have come out with the update. Would make the lore fans a lot happier.

Why no build link?
