Guild Wars 2

Dizzle.5289:

wow! is celestial really that great? or is it just preference? that just seems like a lot of work if its not really worth it. thnx!

Its worth having one celestial kit, but it takes time to make. Pointlessly so since it isn’t really considered AMAZING, just good.

Mo Mo.1947:

There was already a thread about this. Dev feedback in the thread said they are looking at options to solve the hobosack issue.

Seems like we are just being placated.

Guardian of Angels.9867:

Just because you made a 25 vs 25 TDM for guilds doesn’t mean you’re entitled to the GvG format.

In PvP you’re also playing TDM and Conquest, so both forms can be GvG.

However, as I’m a GW1 player I support the GW1 format of GvG.
Kill enemy guilds lord, game won.

NOT a GW1 player, but hell yes, the lord mechanic would add so much more gameplay possibilities.

OOOOUUUUCCCCH…

Hell I got my first asc chest at like day 5. HEHE… Didn’t think much of it at the time…

Tom Gore.4035:

You should know better than to judge either by reading official forums

Hahah very valid point! Starting to get to me…

skullfaerie.7203:

Oh god, it’s you again with your terrible attitude .
To answer your question: Yes there is: Go to a daily room. Literally no idea why that isn’t what you’re doing. Goodbye.

Not sure if OP is a massive troll or just extremely narrow minded and selfish…

One very impressive troll if that is the case… LOL.

I was fooled for quite some time.

MaXi.3642:

I don’t play engi a lot, but I agree the bag is ugly and players shouldn’t be forced to have it when using kits

Thanks for your support!

Thank you for your OPINION.
Please remember to separate your opinion from fact.

Tom Gore.4035:

Sure, but encouraging people to triple-cap sure isn’t going to help, either.

That is much more an inherent issue with PvP introduction than the dailies.

I know!

Let’s see how novel your lege is after :

LetoII.3782:

^
Latest trend, “I don’t know what I’m getting but I saw the corner of the box and I don’t like the color!”

And lets be honest here, the GvG crowd is 1% of the WvW community, and that’s being generous. The WvW community is 5% of the game’s total. They’re a tiny, excessively noisy sub-culture in Anet’s game which DOES have 2 quite similar pvp experiences they already sanction…

They’ve already gotten Obsidian Sanctum. I mean kitten ..

This “trend” need to stop. I am sure its kitten ed demoralizing for ANET staff to have their hard earned work bloody shot down before its even available.

Hell its even making me a little demoralized for the state of humanity and this games community…

KEK! Did anyone see the https address for this thread? Hahahha… Dat filter man…

Cosmin.8306:

So let me get this straight, you want to join a map that that is 85 % filled so you can get to the juicy rewards without working ( essentially you want others to work for you) and when someone makes a “false”/troll adv you want to report them. Maybe it is done to get ppl on the map to get it to that 85 % ,maps don’t magically get like that. I guess a bigger abuse if from your part, hunting for higher % maps . Entitlement is strong in this one…..

This made my day… Guess im a cynic at heart…

sander.5830:

I hope with the word of GvG you don’t actually mean just 25vs25 or something similar till one of the groups get wiped.
GvG in guild wars has always been something different from that http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guild_versus_Guild.
I don’t think Anet will ever support the GvG you are probably referring to.

Yeah there are some serious differences in who and what the GvG community is.

You should really start beliebing in RNGezus… Maybe that will help?

In all seriousness though, just stop if you don’t like it… You are frustrating yourself over a very trivial skin.

This again…

/15 kittens QQing

So are we going to keep bumping this? Because if this isn’t fixed in HoT I will be helluva upset.
Especially since this game is so cosmetic centric. Which i like…

Was their any decent dev response on the previous post in General? Can’t seem to recal.

Random Weird Guy.3528:

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Custom_Arena#Notes

You have 2 weeks after it runs out to use a time token before it gets deleted.

Awesome, so refreshing it every 2 weeks(at most) is sufficient.
Nice.

Xyonon.3987:

How do you have more escape with a condi build than with cele?

More access to slows, rocket boots/elixer gun. I know these are options for Cele too.
Invis bomb kit combos if your using it.

But most importantly, you do not need to build might to do good damage, which is in itself a mobility thing in WvW.

Shiyo.3578:

No one said it, it’s just unfun to fight against pets that do a lot of damage to squishy builds.

Sigil procs and a pet with a decent amount of HP that does damage are COMPLETELY different things.

I have no problem with turrets, but they shouldn’t be a thing.

Then you have a problem with them………..

The difference is a pet is PREDICTABLE and easy enough to play against.
Sigil procs like Fire/Air ARE a REAL problem (same goes for Incendiary Powder that is too strong) and you are complaining about turret engis. Sighhhh…

Tobias Trueflight.8350:

Hey look, rather than try to discuss things, the thread already is going south arguing over the message of closing the other thread and starting a new one. Sigh. Just . . . lock this outright until we get something about what’s coming up.

Ah well, at least I tried to put something of value in here.

I agree, people are not being rational today.
Just post something new when there is significant info!

Tom Gore.4035:

3 people capping the close cap point at game start tells me the dailies in general are not encouraging good gameplay.

Dailies or not, that will never change unless ANET makes a clear effort to upskill the players on PvP and even then it will happen.

Shiyo.3578:

@Novuake the problem with turret engineer isn’t that it’s strong or overpowered, it’s the fact that passive damage you don’t even control or press buttons or aim to use shouldn’t exist in PVP

Why? Who said that?
Since when is that ANETs policy?
Half our Sigils are completely passive procs…

Carighan.6758:

The Rock Dog was pretty popular for a while, wasn’kitten The one from runes?
So in theory the summons can be useful, just may need some minor number tweaking.

Though honestly, the issue with sigils is simply that dodge is so strong, in turn using up sigil slots for almost-mandatory energy sigils.

And AI fixing… Only reason rock dog is decent is because its first attack is a cripple.
After that it just muddles around you doing nothing useful other than a meat shield occasionally.

robertul.3679:

The reason I keep hearing people say this requirement even exists is to prevent players from going naked. Which is stupid anyway.

So you would gladly run into battle without any clothes on in real life? Right.

I don’t think the skimpy outfits half the playerbase runs around in is much better than just going naked in terms of protection.

But but but, magic? Right?

Shiyo.3578:

Novuake.2691:

EDIT : Not applicable since class based MMR is not enabled apparently.

Even if it was enabled it wouldn’t be applicable because I’m playing a new class after a 1.5 year break so yes my MMR and skill is OBSCENELY low, thus “ruins low level PVP” in the title.

I like to think it helps motivate people to try new classes, it is literally the lowest level possible, how else should they learn?

For WvW roaming Rabid is more viable because of superior mobility on associated builds!

Cele works but once your caught, you can’t get away. Also fights last A LOT longer with Cele builds which you don’t want for roaming, especially without an escape.

Anyway. FULL Rabid works PERFECTLY fine, however if you want a bit more health, then use 1 or 2 pieces of Dire stat accessories. 1 ring and your amulet for example.
No more than 2 pieces though or your crit chance drops too much.

Morwath.9817:

Novuake.2691:

Class specific MMR exists. So that means your MMR must be terrible. No offence.

It exist, however it’s currently disabled.
@Ontopic, imho any PvP dailies other than “Win PvP match with any class” shouldn’t exist.

Oh it is? That explains A LOT… Siiiighhh… Who and why was this done?

Apologies OP.

EDIT : Not applicable since class based MMR is not enabled apparently.

Hi Forum

So I just got a custom arena with gold and was wondering.

After the first 30 days expires, will I NEED to top it up every day or only when needed?

For clarity : if I do not top it up every day do I need to rebuy it for the total 200Gold or can I just top it up on days we use it?

Not much but something at least. Tight lipped as always, guess that will never change from ANET.

Now DON’T mess this up!

I happens. But its not reportable. I am the person getting the progression to 30% before taxiing people in. LFG abuse is a pet peeve of mine but I can only do so much as the mechanic is broken… Wish I could make more use of hero of the wastes

Saiyan.1704:

“Nerf Rangers!”
_-Mesmers, Thieves, Engis, and glassy builds

“Nerf Thieves!”
-Mesmers, Rangers, glassy builds

“Nerf condis!”
-Glassy classes with no condi cleanses

OP if Ranger’s did it all, why don’t teams utilize them in ESL? No top team uses rangers… these threads are quite ridiculous =/

Anything new? Nope. Will it stop? Unfortunately not.

OK ok since NO ONE seems to be logical, all that is required is for Anet to root a ranger in place OR add a telegraphed cast/channel(short) animation when cast LB2 and all is well.

I actually raged over the weekend because I had 2 LB rangers in my team. They brought nothing to the team because the enemy team understood how to fight them, it was effectively a 3v5. I HATE having them in my team(same goes for the so called OP, turret engi)

HGH elixer build has already been nerfed EXTREMELY hard to the point of limited viability in higher levels of play. Fun build though…

Again…

HoT is NOT OUT YET.

WAIT and THEN QQ. Kitten… Since when is it custom to complain about something with almost no information on it>>>>>>?????

BrunoBRS.5178:

you sure about that? ’cause the map is post-foefire, and charr steel warships date as back as the rise of zhaitan.

Is it post Foefire? I was under the impression its not.

Stephen.6312:

With a main with no “hard counters” to stealth, invulnerabilities and the like, I agree that stealth has problems. If I could change anything about stealth, I would improve how hidden enemies are revealed. For example, running through a fire field should reveal stealth, together with the application of the burning condition.

That being said, there are problems with the current physics engine inside the game that exacerbate the frustration of players trying to counter stealth. Whilst melee and aoe attacks may hit hidden enemies, many ranged attacks do not. Sure, ranged “channeled” attacks might, but they normally only hit when the channeled skill begins before the targeted enemy enters stealth. Once an enemy enters stealth, ranged auto-attacks are completely useless. In my opinion, this is a major balance issue that needs to be corrected and has only really arisen because of the stealth mechanic. This does not mean that stealth is “broken” – it means that there are inherent problems in the combat system that probably will never be resolved.

R. I. P. stealth counter-play.

Your whole example is terrible for your argument. It sounds like the way it SHOULD work.
So you are saying that a arrow shot into clean air must be able to hit an invis target?

Or you could disable autotarget?

Dredd Spirit Caller.4082:

dude, if u want do only daily reward in pvp, just go on hotjoin or in pratice, it is easy in this way
if u run unranked or ranked with a low rank (1-30) and paired with high rank (60-80), ppl will be mad to the MMR system for bad match making , it is just for that

That is what unranked is for.
Hotjoin is just stupid and will push new players from PvP due to the MASSIVE difference in skill level of people per map.

Block and move on.

If you need help and are on EU, message me in game, I enjoy giving PvP help to people.

EDIT : and PLEASE do not let it deter you from PvP. It can be really fun.

Sirius.4510:

The healing/DoT focus is probably mostly from WoW. I’m more used to druids from D&D, where their major themes are animal companions, wildshape (basically shapeshifting into animals) and lots of summon nature’s ally spells. Incidentally they were also closer to that in another popular game – Diablo 2 – except with a heavier focus on wind/volcanic spells.

The only thing “druid” has to mean in typical fantasy is that the special powers are nature-themed. There aren’t very many domains that can’t be fit into that somehow or other.

Yeah this was my first impression too. Would love a few class specific transforms.

jacim.5904:

Given the way GW2 was made there is no place for a healer or a tank in a group. The reason why I say this is that healing is useless and there is no effective way ingame to control aggro. Am I the only one worried about the druid for my ranger?? Judging from the name it wont probably out dps the ranger we currently have, cause when I think about a druid what comes to mind is either dots or healing and none of those are better than zerk stats.
I might be wrong but someone else might share my concerns.
Dont judge my spelling Im from Argentina jaja.

You are ONLY considering PvE.

As for the validity, who knows?
Support skills are EXTREMELY strong in this game, PvE or not, maybe this makes a ranger a better dungeon runner/stacker.

ANY sort of variety is nice. it does not need to be the mentality of “MOAR DAMAGE”.

~2000

No drop.

@metaldude.4132 I HATE YOU!

As for the point of this thread. No point… :P
RNG is just RNG

The derail is REAL.

Gnat.9405:

i think gem store skins is the obvious course of action here.

And I would be MOSLTY happy with that.

choovanski.5462:

i main engineer, if the run around bowing me like a goon i just kill them with my rifle. regardless, most of them just jump into my AOEs, lose half health retreat in stealth then attempt the same strategy. they always die or run.

staying calm and not chasing them is important. they hunger for your blood. they are wearing their zerker amulet and just want big crits and big numbers. bait them, their health pools are so small one goof will destroy them- and guess what you can cause these goofs!

EXACTLY!

REACT, don’t panic. Most people are like OOOOOHHH MY HEALTH IS GONE!
Instead you immediate dodge to create distance then use a disable/damage mitigation/ heal and OPEN FIRE to force invis out of him. Once that second invis pops you KNOW hes there and you KNOW he will engage. So YOU have the upper hand this time.

Do you understand the meaning of RNG?
MF vs RNG…

Lishtenbird.2814:

The game is too benign to add something like that – even frequently requested swimsuits get ignored (however it is possible to wear one – check the Southsun beach for models).

I’m still wondering why Mini Faren is acceptable within this strict policy, though. And why there’s no Mini Christmas Bikini Kasmeer, for that matter…

“Mini Christmas Bikini Kasmeer” Yes please…

I will CSI that thing! We must ENHANCE!

The precision will, the weapon damage will not.
