Mikali.9651:

I am playing warrior, guardian, ele and thief in wvw.
I don’t see a problem with retaliation at all, I got self heals, got blasts from waters, got positioning, and I press button to attack, it’s not on autoattack.

Never have I seen problem with retaliation in any part of a game

NONE of which have low dmg/high ticks damage.

Clearing it up is the least they can do, they need to FIX it in game!

Why are you stopping?

MOAR BUMPS!

FlamingFoxx.1305:

“When he died, all living sylvari felt it, Caithe describing it as “like a part of the Dream was torn away” while the Pale Tree describes it as “the sun dimmed, and the Dream wept.” "

If Riannoc’s death was that impactful then Wynne’s surely would have been just the same. The writers screwed up. There’s no way around that and it’s quite pathetic.

Still able to dismiss it since it could just not have been mentioned. The FACT that she dies might not have been a secret, but HOW she died would have been, so that is perfectly acceptable since it could just not have been discussed before.

However it seems to be BEFORE Riannoc.

ProTech.8402:

They could easily fix this by saying that Riannoc is dead by the time of the “The Newly Awakened” episode. They said they will fix that episode. Could someone check if the dialog is changed already?

And if I remember correctly Riannoc is present at the first born discussion of the secondborn too.

So yeah, easy fix, but WILL THEY DO IT?

Dirame.8521:

They’ve already discussed this at lenght. Riannoc still died first.

Source?

TBH I can not see the timeline fitting.

Cosmin.8306:

tbh, i smell plothole.

You have a fine nose, friend. :P

Lore forum seems mostly dead, since its relevant here too, ill just let it be.

Soooo is it just me or are we not getting the Asura murder of Sylvari retconned?
Seems more like Riannoc’s “first dead sylvari” is getting retconned since now Wynn seems to have died before Riannocs excursion.
I DO NOT like this lore retcon, especially since the Personal story (sylvari subpath) is basically just falling apart even more.
Can we get an official statement as to WHAT is going on with the whole Riannoc thing?

Added :
I can sort of dismiss the fact that SECONDBORN died before him as Caithe and the other firstborn could have kept it from the wider world and other sylvari to not incite panic.
But Wynn (a firstborn) dying, is very significant and can not possibly kept secret, keeping the details secret sure, but not the fact that shes dead.
So Riannoc could definitely not have been perceived by ANYONE, EVER to be the first dead sylvari and it upsets me that this is in the GAME as well as wiki even before release and will probably never be fixed.
Seriously a massive problem for my immersion.

Alternative to Sigil of Doom anyone?

I like! More outnumbered potential!

Mr Mango.3504:

Somewhere a dev said the Riannoc thing was an oversight and it would be fixed later. I don’t know if it was fixed this patch. It wasn’t in the notes I believe.

I’m pretty sure Riannoc is still the first dead, just not so long before the other secondborn as in the last release.

I get the whole breaking for Christmas thing, but we’re coming from a break and heading into a.. break?

In what way are we heading into a break? The new patch comes out today.

ANd then it is the end of season 2.

Daily dungeons.
World bosses.
Silverwaste chest farm.
Event runs in Orr.

There are A LOT of ways to make money in GW2.

Agreed, this is just a discussion.

" first Trademark registration since the game was initially released"

You mean LONG before the game released? Because the trademarks took place A LONG time before release i believe.

Doesn’t change the fact that this is the first trademark registration since the game was released.

I said nothing at all about the registration of the Guild Wars 2 trademark. I just used release as a point of reference.

I know. I am just reinforcing your statement.

Agramon.4278:

I’m always saying same thing. Main problem is “healing”. Lets take a look who telling for which classes are OP.

1) Engi – They putting 2 Healing turrets (have massive heal abilities), water fields
2) DD Ele – Water skills can give unlimited heal. If you vs with dd ele you should hit more than 150k
3) Guardian – Medi heals, many heal abilities with blocks, gs attack heals. everythings are heal him
4) Warrior – Healing signet..

Fix that things and all will be fine.

Kythan Myr.4719:

What are the odds that this is simply just the name for LS3? I’m not exactly sure why everyone immediately thinks expansion. If this does pertain to another physical release of some sort, then maybe it’s just a “boxed set” of a bundled LS1 & 2?

The fact that this is (as far as I can find) the first Trademark registration since the game was initially released would point more towards an expansion than just S3 (especially since none of the other seasons (or episodes) have been trademarked.)

Vlad Morbius.1759:

Also one must give Anet personnel some credit, there is no way they discounted the fact this would be found and brought to light. This is a very, very strong indication of what’s to come whether it’s a paid expansion or a free expansion (my money is boxed) it is happening.

Paid = boxed in your post, right?

Haha this post and counter-post crap is going to far!

Substance E.4852:

What part of “hype train has no brakes” was unclear?
The community fuels the train but Anet is more than happy to never attempt slowing the kitten thing…

Maybe we should repeat it more? I am SURE we can make it sink in!

Yes please to Mantra improvements!.

Wanze.8410:

I think Heart of Thorns is a good title for LS Season 2.

So maybe, after the final chapter gets released, there will be a boxed bundle including all 8 chapters that players, who pick up the game after LS S2 finished can buy.

Instead of paying 150 gems for each episode, they can buy it for 800 gems or 10 bucks, if Anet decides to put out a box to put in stores (for extra visibility).

PLEASE no! Let it not be! Although your logic is flawless and I cannot argue.

Although its 200 Gems per episode.

Necropolis.6017:

One more thing, when engi enter a group fight, use thumper turret can immediately knock almost every opponent, and apply protection for team mate, then target one easy target ( necro engi or ranger) >tool5>pry bar> (opponent dodge) rifle 32 through wrench and rifle 4 (3 first then 2 cos sometimes miss) stand up rifle 5 land on him rocket tool belt shoot under ur foot then deploy rocket and overcharge it if opponent panic, it’s a confirm knock down. If opponent fight back in between even better, cos it’s a chain, and he or she will eat all. Usually this target will try disengage. Engi either elixir or block in between somewhere. Anyway so far I felt this combo is quite ok.

Sometimes it can also initiate by using supply crate then u can save thumper tool belt skill before overcharge shoot

I am fully aware of what you can do as pretty much any engineer build, meta or not.

Point is : TURRET Engi builds is a suboptimal build, there are build that are BETTER in so many ways.
Turret builds have their uses, but they are not good in the current PvP setup.

I LIKE YOUR SPIRIT HYPE!

Whos the conductor? Can I be the conductor?

PvP tournaments for PvP, Living Story for Pve, Sneak Attack for WvW. Now whether or not you as an individual care or enjoy them is entirely up to you. They want to encourage people to play other parts of the game, whats wrong with that?

well, “pvp” is less about “player versus player” and more about “who can be the most bs’y player”

and wvw is just zerg train for karma and leveling low levels

Hahhaahhahahaahha I hope you are trolling, because you CAN NOT be serious?

Funny how people talk about removing boons. Every class will have boons no matter what = Cele op, and it is. Nerf it. Out with kittening tanky eles and engis.

I think you are missing the point.

They are talking about BOON STRIPPING as an ability that needs to be more common.
Not removing it from the game.

Boon stripping can become op really quick if they make it easier to use. I think they should reduce how much less damage protection gives and reduce how much power/condition damage is gained per stack of might. That is really it.

Been saying this for a while now, I doubt they would however.

Nick.6972:

I’d welcome any expansion (if it adds dungeons, wvw, skills and weapons) however I would also be deeply disappointed if they still continued ignoring Cantha and Elona.

Cantha has no place in the story unfortunately.

Elona is close enough to Kralky to need exploring.

Lots of story plots possible that could take us to Cantha.

True, but unless ANET does it right, it will feel super shoehorned. ANET has a history of shoehorning.

Necropolis.6017:

Fighting stability is simple, net shoot, through wrench and tool kit skill 2. Pry bar apply confusion can slow down burst, retaliation is work the same. Eventually stability will time out. Then the war or gard will be in rather bad situation.

Exactly. So are you using turrets to do any of this? Unless you run net turret, which i doubt.
NOPE!
Proving my point, TURRET Engi’s are useless unless supplemented in SOME way. And even then its not optimal.

The AI can be manipulated and optimized, so no its not noob.

However it is a terrible build with very little going for it and clear counters.

If u stand still lay every turrets down, yes u r very vulnerable. But the key is cc combo chain which requires the turrets be laird in order with the usage of ur weapon and kit skills. In n vs n battle, find the key personal to target, and the laying moment of rocket turret is very interesting, cos the 3 seconds retaliation sometimes can change the tide of the battle, I used to see a guard instantly kill himself after I laid my rocket in center of a fight.

That is the guards mistake, not an inherent strength of the build.
If you are running PvP with no stability/break stun, then getting shoved by a turret engi is your deserved reward.

I might need to go see a doctor now…

My heart cant take this.
If this is a hoax, I will die.

You are late. :P

They wouldn’t be pushing it if they didn’t see an interest in it.

“Most of us don’t care about PVP”

Source? Statistics? Numbers?

You don’t need hard stats. You just have to visit the PvP Game Browser in game and there’s your stats. Here you go, http://i.imgur.com/CNsRutc.jpg

And no, it doesn’t even matter what time of day either, because you’ll get the same results or it will be doubled… The number is very, very low.

These servers are for practice… When you do pvp you do unranked or ranked team queue, and since they now have map voting they are more popular than the other servers.

That just proves my point even further. You can’t be serious. Unranked and Ranked matches aren’t more popular than public play. They never have been. lol.

Since the PvP changes more and more people play unranked arena, VERY few people left in hot join.

Tao.5096:

What does stop people to choose one of the PvP servers and 10vs10 TDM in Courtyard?

Because GvG is not just a slug fest. There are strats involved and a goal to reach.

GvG (Guild VS Guild) map then? It existed in the original GW.

Its explained on the wiki.

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Guild_versus_Guild

And yes, people have been wanting this for a LONG time in GW2.

There was a GvG looking map that was data mined by the community just before season 2 kicked off, so lets hope.

No one that I know or play PvP with EVER uses hot join.
So no, those “numbers” mean nothing.
