Guild Wars 2

Just wait, knowing anet and their laughable skillz at balancing, they nerf spirit rangers to the point an afk bunker guardian will be able to kill them.

Why is MF even in gw2? Everything been nerfed, over nerfed and @#&$ on, so having higher chance of getting something that doesn’t drop isn’t much help from MF.

By far my two most used ones are hound and wolf because of their CC. Used to use jags but since BM been destroyed i ignore them completely. For pve i use double spider for ranged immobilize/poison fields pretty much all the time. Underwater, Shark/Lashtail Devourer are with me permanently in pve/pvp. All other pets could be deleted and i wouldn’t care one bit, i ignore them completely.

Can we have a devs answer to why we don’t have free allocation of traits 1year after game’s release? Is it too much asking for choosing every single trait (minor and major)? Didn’t we have this the first couple of beta weekends? Why did it change? Why do you give use presets when it comes to traits AND amulets? I want to build my own character, not taking your presets.

how is it that i do dungeons the most of any pve content and never seen this happening? Am i playing another game or wut

+2 (excluding crit hit damage) to all other stats would be my guess

“If you don’t like the game don’t play it” this is what gw2 defense force says to every single person who brings out a negative point about gw2, all of them without exception. If everyone who dislike current gw2’s content abandoned the game, you would be 1k players still playing the game with empty wvw, even emptier open world and even in LA you’d find no more than 10 people… But hey, at least you could get into TC server without a 3 months q.

Well this is the most sensible thing to do, right? If I start to hate something I will just stop doing it. Even animals follow this simple rule.

What about keep playing and wishing for the best? Is this even possible or what.

I’m excited, aren’t you? You should be.

There’s not a single thing in gw2 aimed at the ‘hardcore’ unless spvp leaderboards is what you consider hardcore lol

Its kinda laughable how this rune haven’t been nerfed yet. Its insane what you can do on a condi engi. Easy 18-23 stacks absolutely melts everything. Wish this rune was added before confusion nerf, would’ve been nice to see 12k confusion damage lol

12 months, nothing. They don’t even need to ‘fix’ it. All that should be done is make the clone spawn at target’s location and the failed leap will never happen again. This isn’t fixed because fixing important stuff isn’t their priority, adding garbage to gem store is tho.

Nothing much because in 1 year we still have nothing challenging all the ‘hardcore’ crowd been asking since first month of game’s release.

So they didn’t take YOUR suggestions. It could be because you suggest things so negatively.

No, they didn’t took hundreds upon hundreds of people suggesting some kind of end game. Anet released fractals as end game rofl.

what was it about?

Have you beaten Liadri yet?

For what, an ugly mini and 20 AP? I did not beat her after my 20 tries and i won’t bother anymore because fps is atrocious and so are the camera angles. I want something challenging done in co-op, rewarding and with long last appeal, not a spam fest npc that kills you in one hit while you’re trying to dodge her stuff at 20fps.

Get top 1000 in PvP when there are roughly 40,000 active members on it.

Did i buy this game to cap brainless circles all day every day? I don’t think so. When they add pvp worth a kitten then i may complain less because i would be playing the kitten thing. Their game mode is boring, i can’t handle spvp for more than 2h at a time.

Or removed from LB and replaced by something with more survivability

Why can’t i just chose everything I want to take for a certain build? Why are minor traits locked? Why do i see phantasm skills in a shatter tree? Stop making gem store garbage and rework your whole trait system before people get bored of running same things and quit your game.

When im fighting some1 without losing him as my target and clones created by DE attack warthogs around me we have a serious AI problem. Their ai is as bs as it gets for our day n age. Good way to see how laughable this ai is is in fotm jellyfish boss. You spawn clones (from utilities/weapons/DE) and half the time they will be attacking boss ads instead of what you targeted, like wtf is this? Did anyone programed this thing or they fund some codes from AI created in 1988 and pasted it to gw2, a 2012 game…

They already increased their CD, decrease iMariner’s damage by 40-50%, gave them 0.25 (or was it 0.5?) before attacking, izerker close to NEVER hits 4 times as he was before Feb patch, gave them LoS in a game where LoS is a kittening joke, fail to spawn on block/blind/invul/dodge so wtf are they trying to accomplish here? and who the f asked for a phantasm nerf especially in current meta? Like wuuuut?

These runes are amazing for all Mesmers really. We have a lot of bonuses from landing an interrupt that other classes lack even if they may technically stagger them faster.

we only have three main rupts on long CD (magic bullet/iwave/diversion) and if you’re running condi there’s not much point to use diversion as you would on a power build and don’t have iwave but Chaos Storm which is rupts on RNG. Much better for engi and is as good for warrior with their 5 stacks per rupt and for insanely long duration with +40% condi duration food

You are forgetting some:

1) Chaos Storm – it might be RNG but it seems to proc alot for me
2) Mantra Of Distraction – 2 (3 Traited) 1200range Interrupt/stuns
3) Into The Void – AoE Interrupt.
4) Signet of Domination, long cool down but 3 second stun

Thats a decent amount in my opinion. 2 AoE interrupt/daze is pretty decent and then you get into the utilities.

I mentioned Chaos Storm which is on RNG and not even guaranteed rupt+the person needs to be stupid enough to stand on it. I only named the most ‘popular’ rupts we have and most used. Are you seriously gonna waste an utility for mantra of distraction? Sig of dom is a bad idea because the target is stunned for a long duration instead of taking damage from your confusion you inflicted and is on long CD. Into the Void mostly means you’re then missing on Magic Bullet so meh.

They better add ascended armor/weapons as a drop in FotM from MAW’s chest. Also, when will karma be used for something new they’re releasing? Its like this thing is in the game but have zero use.

Why should this be a Trait? We should be able to see every skill the enemy is activating by default, instead of seeing same three animations for everything

Will we see some next patch or its their vision for 2014-15?

Chore is too good for how boring gw2 exploration is. In gw1 it was much harder to get the 100% and when you did it felt like an achievement, here its not only boring but way too simple and easy

Its strong solo roamer but not worth using for zergs

ArmageddonAsh.6430:

Nuka Cola.8520:

This rune is not for mesmer but engi. Also works extremely well on a Fear spamming nec.

How? Fear doesnt count as an Interrupt, so if they are feared they arent using skills so they wont be taking confusion damage.

Or am i missing something?

no you’re not missing anything cuz i thought fear rupts as it should logically (that’s what happens when you have no necro-.-). Also, i wonder if this rune would apply confusion if your ranger’s pet rupt with a KD? Or the rupt must be coming from the player only?

This rune is not for mesmer but engi. Also works extremely well on a Fear spamming nec.

colesy.8490:

3s immobilisation? lol, as if people don’t hate mesmer enough already, we’d just get hit with the nerf bat again :’(

Pin Down is 3sec immobilize with 6 stacks of long * bleeding lol i think they can do something like that for mez, especially if its 600 range.

if ascended shards aren’t used to craft ascended weapons/armors i……………………

no one cares about mmos on consoles

Yeah.

Except for all the content they’ve released since launch. But wait, you didn’t personally like any of that content so it doesn’t count as content, right?

What content? Where are they at? Oh wait, i know, deleted because they were temporary.

Nuka Cola.8520:

Why do you bring games that were released decades ago? Are you in 1990 or 2013? Its an insult to fps’s to even compare them to mmo’s when it comes to story/dialogues/voice acting/characters. MMO’s have two things, gameplay and longevity, everything else is done better by any other genre. I have almost 3k hours in gw2 and don’t know a single character’s name… that’s how memorable they’re.

Why did you bring up CounterStrike, which was released a long time ago? If you bring up old games, I’ll bring up old games. And in 2013, the story of FPSs still isn’t much better than MMOs even with cutscenes and voices. The Halo series isn’t very strong with the story or characterizations (with maybe exceptions I can count on one hand). Outside of that, MAYBE Half-Life 2, but I haven’t played it and it’s protagonist has no personality. At all. Ditto Portal.

As for “isn’t done better by any other genre”? Longevity (in terms of repeat play) is the cornerstone of multiplayer-capable FPS, as well as some (but not many) RPGs. Gameplay is a nebulous matter, and it falls onto how much you like particular genres; good gameplay in an RPG is not the same as good gameplay in a fighting game, or a sports game.

Though if you’re talking about challenging mechanics, I’d put MOBA type games ahead of MMOs easily. Also with more longevity, so long as you can stand the other players. Or, dare I say, Magic the Gathering beats all these for longevity and gameplay and while it is technically an old game . . . it’s still going and will probably still go for another five to ten years.

And, yes, the flavor text on MTG cards gives a surprising amount of story behind the game and fictional universe.

CS Go just came out and i did not bring it to prove fps’s have good story but the opposite because this game has no story its just there for multiplayer. Play the last of us, red dead redemption, deus ex: HR, max pain 3 and all these titles and tell me gw2 reaching even 10% of the awesomness these titles story is. I mean even CoD and Halo have better story lol, hell, even crappy campaigns of battlefield games have a better one lmao.

Would be awesome if Whip autos inflicted bleeding for 2sec and have 5% chance to immobilize target for 1sec. I also would like skill 2 or 3 (if the weapon is MH) to immobilize a target for long duration like 3sec (such as Pin Down) and set them on fire for 3sec

There’s none. They seems to have ran out of ideas and gave use a piece of kitten.

All this money made and we got nothing in return but more gem store items, awesome.

Mikau.6920:

Only +10 trait points is enough for me. This would open a lot of possibilities.

that’s what i want as well, only 10, that’s all im asking

To answer this question you need to have played them all and know them very well. I only know mez and ranger so can’t answer that. Mez does have some good trees (dueling/chaos/illusion)

Yargesh.4965:

The Secret World has the best story telling of any game I have played. It has other things that drag it down. Most people do not care for the story even if it is written well. It just seems to be tell me I am the best and then leave. If they had a summary for the quests most would read that and never worry about the details.

I did hear that this game had some original stuff but i gotta ask, do you play anything else outside MMO’s? Cuz if its the best you’ve seen that’s kinda sad

Two. mez and ranger, not interested in any other class.

Tobias Trueflight.8350:

Nuka Cola.8520:

lol fps’s in general have waaaaay better story telling unless ‘fps’ title is CS to you. Just look at the latest such as Bioshock Infinite, Metro LL and so on. When was the last time an mmo had a story worth having a conversation with your buds? Never.

Way better?

Wolfenstein 3D, Doom and Doom 2, Quake, Quake 2, and Quake 3. Any clones thereof (and there were a LOT) . . .

Sure there was story, but it really did boil down to “go and shoot stuff, make it to the end of the level, get the rocket launcher” more often than not. The first FPS I recalled which tried to do anything with story was Half-Life.

As far as MMO stories go? EverQuest at least tried to do something with a story, though it seems they threw in the towel around “Planes of Power” and said “lets just let them kill gods now”. Meridian 59 had a decent amount in there and some world-changing events (more than EverQuest, actually). Ultima Online had some good stuff going on, though it was really only available if you were in the top tier of players (and weren’t getting ganked). I can’t speak beyond that but someone told me FFXI had something of a story going on, there’s plenty of free MMOs which make a better attempt than the aforementioned FPS titles, and as much as I don’t like WoW it at least tried harder than Quake.

(That is to say, it tried at all…)

I don’t expect the level of Shin Megami Tensei out of my MMOs, but I’ll not say GW2 has awesome writing in all areas. The Personal Story shines in a few spots, and really lacks in others. The best parts tend to be out in the world, in my opinion, and can be missed readily. (For instance, I really like the writing they slipped in with Rox, and some of the events in Blazeridge Steppes with the Ebon Vanguard and Legions working together work out for me.)

What I’ve heard about “The Queen’s Speech” gives me hope they’ll manage to improve the quality of the Living Story writing thus far by actually getting some motion on plot.

Put Altruistic Healing in the Virtues Tree and you will see a lot more build variety.

Better, re-introduce free allocation of traits. Then you will see max amount of builds variety.

But people been suggesting lots of things to anet, end game is out of them. What did they do? Add more Living Story cutsceens and gem store items. Its not important what i or some1 else suggests, its all about money, and if their musical gem store instruments is making them money, this is what they’ll be creating instead of a new dungeon for the ‘hardcore’ crowd. This is their main problem, they chase money without giving anything to those who want to do something called ‘play the game’.

really? So we should completely disregard them saying that in 2014 they’ll be adding more permanent content, because the rotation of temporary celebrations has already been established? And we should completely forget that they’re working on GW2s version of raids?
I would want more things now myself, there are a lot of quality of life updates that are needed, not to mention all of the content ones that have been asked for, but give them time.

Game came out in 2012, we should wait 2014 for something to play? Doesn’t this sound ridiculous to you? Sure this is an mmo and its more of a marathon than anything else but they had one year, nothing been done. To me this is really bad because even gw1 received TONES of awesome things in that same year.

Every day there’s more and more people are disappointed with this game but anet does nothing to change the situation, i mean why would they care about hundreds upon hundreds complaints?

“more and more people” want to prove it?
It’s obvious that there are more people happy with the game then disappointed by it, otherwise the number of people playing wouldn’t grow and we would see server merges.

To the OP – when rerolling take a breather and create your character calmly, there’s no rush. Maybe reroll as a different race, because those have their own starting zones and different personal stories, it might make it kitten ring to you. If you want money and levels just reaching 100% map completion is easier, and your personal story does describe things, you just need to listen

i don’t need to. you visit this forum often enough, i’m sure you noticed.

You can’t judge by the Forum Posts how a game is doing. People only use the forums to complain and criticise, not to compliment and say what went good, because this game does enough good to grow, even though you don’t like to see that.

No, on forum you find people that care the most about your game and when they’re disappointed i let you guess how those who aren’t on the forum feel.

I highly doubt that thats a majority of the Complaining Post.
I like people who care about this game so much that they write big posts of solutions to problems, but thats rather the minority. I still trust only what I see, and If I get into an overflow in Lions Arch in the middle of the night I think there are enough players.
Also my guild is full of people who enjoy the Living Story and the changes Anet brings every 2 weeks.
