Guild Wars 2

what i want to know is how did gw1 (which wasn’t even an mmo) managed to have good end game and gw2 has no end game at all?

What he said isn’t false. Lots of people on this forum say stuff such as “i destroy stealth thieves bla bla bla” but this is all lies or they’re killing a theif that is already being attacked by many other players. You need to be new to the game/new to a thief to lose against a ranger on one. Thief has counters to everything a ranger can do, ranger can’t even do anything to immobilize lol. There’s not point of even dualing a thief on a ranger, reroll to a mes or d/d ele and then see sup.

Not OP, but useful. This is how grandmaster Traits should be, USEFUL and that is not the case in 90% of the time on all classes.

just a random group of nerds… if they kick, join another group and forget the others even existed.

yes please do. gw1 had it and it was great, in gw2 even if they do have one its a pretty ******* one

GW1 elite areas sucked, most of us never got to finish them or even get a group going to start with. Casual players shouldn’t be restricted from experiencing all content the game has to offer.

When Faction’s came out place’s like Urgoz Warren,The Deep,Fissue of woe were full of people trying to do the dungeon. Even when Eye of the north drop alot of the “Elite” area’s were full. When did you buy Guildwars 1?

The Deep (international district) and Urgoz (international district) were full 24/7 way after Factions release. I remember doing Urgoz in 2010 and it still had bunch of people but not 24/7 like it was in 07-09.

If its like the deep/Urgoz i’d take that but what exactly is the difference between those and gw2 or eotn dungeons (other than them being much more fun and larger groups)? If a dungeon is fun (which isn’t included in gw2) large number of players will only decrease everyone’s fps in a so poorly optimized game. Fun/rewarding new dungeons is what anet should focus on and not 40 players co-op/

So what exactly are they adding new to pve i can spend hours in? I see nothing and its not a new map pvp need but a whole new game mechanic or at least new mode(s)… Yay for a gem backpack? i don’t think so…

never been in a raid nor do i know much wtf raid is exactly other than a large group killing a boss? anyway, No. Do not want that. I want a dungeon that doesn’t get old after a week (maybe with randomized enemies every time you enter) and Hard Mode. Five player teams for a 2012 game is laughable so i’d want at least 8 and preferable 10.

How can you say you don’t want something if you’ve never tried it? And if they add an increase in party-size as you suggested, then it would be a raid. So do you want raid’s or not?

I don’t even know what raid is exactly so don’t care. Increase of players in already boring/overdone/unrewarding dungeons gw2 has won’t change anything. Do i want to do 1000000th AC run with 10 people and mobs drop greens instead of blues? **** NO!

that’s what i’ve been saying… its laughable and at first they even charged you 50 skill points. Whoever made them as useless should rethink the whole thing or make these infusions cost 5g and under.

why bother with getting the 5 extra stat if you don’t think it’s worth it? your logic is just counter logical . that’s the point of this system. you get it if you want to. if you don’t think it’s worth the time then don’t do it .easy as that. it’s not like you won’t be able to play some of the content just because you dont have 5 stat points ( or 10 if you add them together).

if you think it’s worth the stat. then do it. otherwise, why bother? i haven’t bothered. because 5 or 10 stat points for me makes basically 0 difference.

who said i did? i did not. what i’m saying is why’s this crap even in the game? like i understand some people want the absolute best stats but this is 5….. PLUS FIVE to ONE attribute. Seriously lol +5 haha. Even if i had 1k gold i would never spend 30 gold for a +5 stat.

So, do all those posting ranger love think rangers are fine then and need no fixing? Or are they just hating the hate posts? Just curious.

Many people here never even tried spvp on a ranger and think it must be good since in pve they’re decent and strong to solo. I think most of them think they’re fine as is lmao

No, not tired. the class is broken of what exactly should i be tired? If everyone doesn’t hate rangers, it will take anet 3 years to change anything on them.

karma is way too useless in this game. add a merch that trades 5k karma per any lodestone.

that’s what i’ve been saying… its laughable and at first they even charged you 50 skill points. Whoever made them as useless should rethink the whole thing or make these infusions cost 5g and under.

dragging myself lately… nothing new for me to play/use and wvw cannot save the day.

don’t buy gw1 just for HoM lol rewards are worthless. Not only that but getting hom points in a deserted gw1 will be the most boring experience you’ll have and don’t expect to do missions on hard with heroes/henchies

Yes i would like to sell my 37 rings!!!! i’m happy to sell all that, make tones of money and wvw players are happy.

there’s no style to it, you play like a spam bot. Start chain with vulnerability (gs skill 2) or zerker if he’s running away. SO its gs skill 2, zerker, swap to sword/pistol, magic bullet, dualist, leap, blurred frenzy/F1/F2/F3 spam or mirror image/decoy/roll for closnes so F2 deals more damage and F3 gives more daze but if you want to be a true spam bot don’t bother and just spam F1-F3 on blurred frenzy lol or at least that’s what i see the most in spvp, all copy pasted mesmers doing the exact same thing.

That’s not all it doesn’t reflect. Also dredges earth attack isn’t reflected but is by guardian reflects. There’s many other projectiles i notices feedback doesn’t reflect over the time but don’t remember them-.-. And sup with mimic? Even if you reflect something reflectable, you always take damage from first attack… I would use it on shaman in fotm but if he hits you with agony you’re taking damage instead of reflecting the thing.

Also, in ascalonian fractal archers with fiery attacks can bounce off of guardian reflects but not feedback/mimic? Anet, fix these two or at least tell us that guardian reflects are true reflect skills and mesmer ones are wannabes.

Hotkeys if you learn to use them and you will improve your skill reaction time.

dunno dude, there’s lots of people that click since gw1 and if you don’t see a vid them clicking you would’ve never guessed.

Title says it all. Are you still into them?

BS makes no sense… i’m not the one ******* about this kind of stuff but yesterday i got BS’d for 8.2k on a 1830toughness, that is way too high for a one hitter on a high toughness

Shuguard.7125:

The mesmer also can do a huge reflect build with wardens, feedback and another move(can’t remember the name off the top of my head).

feedback doesn’t reflect half of what guardian reflects can. for example the dredge earth attack. i don’t know if its feedback broken or guardian reflects that are too powerful and reflect stuff they aren’t supposed/

they think everyone is 6 years old so pretty much everything is offensive. since gw1 they made my name change 3 times and all my names weren’t offensive at all.

I love them both equally but gw2 has a major pvp problem. When you try to wvw it runs like **** (even crytek optimizes their dx11 games better, come’on now…). When you try to spvp it gets old in under an hour because 1. maps are too small and boring 2. objectives capping points is the most boring game mode i’ve played in a long while. Release new game modes with much larger maps and some pve spice in them (like siege turtles/npcs in GW1’s FA) and i will be playing it every day for at least 3h. Love pve, done everything there is to do and waiting for more. Love pvp but its broken in my opinion. Do i want to play wvw in 20fps on low settings and a 1.7k rig? No! Optimize your crap, anet.

hahaha you think people with 2G’s computers run this game well in wvw? no matter how much your computer costs, the game has zero optimization so it runs like **** with everyone. increasing performance is great but something tells me it’ll be something like 3fps increase so hard to care or see a difference.

i’ve done all monthlies since launch but won’t be doing this one at all. **** finding 30 puzzles… no playing gw2 to alt/tab youtube every 5 minutes.

funny how so many BF3 players come to gw2 (me included and i’ve heard tones of other people)

i seriously hope they never EVER add mounts to gw2. Not in a year, 2 years or 7 years. Keep this to that nerdy mmo called wow and the other billion korean mmo’s.

they should at 30+not 10

its deserted on all servers no matter what people tell you. i was and still am in the top 5 most populated severs and its ghost zones everywhere… sometimes i can run in a zone for almost two hours without seeing a single person.

sup with anet taking over half a year to add a single new armor skin? like stop adding freaking accessories that don’t change your appearance and give me couple of new armors already…

there’s no such things. best rangers from gw1 re rolled to another class because rangers in gw2 are the unbalanced trash class.

i’d have np if they completely removed portal from pvp and replaced by something else (something useful and not a ******* utility no1 will ever use) but nerfing tw, a skill that lasts 10sec and has a 2 years CD is just NO…

warden is a joke and the reason i can’t ever run focus as my main offhand. Pulling people off walls, running ori or solo farming is the only reasons to use focus… Who came with this stupid idea of no letting iwarden walk anyway? Why not make him walk but when he starts his chain he’s rooted? That won’t be OP at all and he’d much much more useful.

do what i do, don’t spend a single cent on gems until at least DR is gone. I bought many gems with in game gold but anet will never get my real money with this stupid system they’re rolling

i will predict what will happen. From today we will have DR until about a month or two of their first expansion launch (that’s right, another year or more), anet will lose tones of players and their next big thing they’ll tell us that “we get rid of bots and can now remove DR” just to gain back the gamers they lost to buy their new expansion… This is the patheticness that WILL happen, watch and see.

they’re already cheap to my eyes lol in LA you see some1 with legendary GS/rifle/dagger/staff in every corner possible, they don’t feel special at all.

3 is by far the best but will be seen as OP to anet and im sure every single mes will use it in spvp and you don’t want perma swiftness on all mesmers. Option 1 seems perfect

This is one of the two reason i don’t like spvp. The main reason is much more important since it has to do with the whole game mode which sucks in my opinion and far from being as fun as any gw1 pvp offerings.

I hope this isn’t nerfed because i use it every single time i get immobilized by another mesmer (generic mesmer #1828738721 with sword/pistol+ spam F1+F2+F3 on blurred frenzy), 100swag warriors and basilisc venom thieves. Leap is extremely useful in spvp/wvw so they better don’t touch this awesome skill, eveeeer.

Greataxes! Two handed high damage with KD/Stuns would be great

Fallout! cuz i like fallout like everyone else lol

Fallout 3 was bad and New Vegas was worse.

It’s also opposite day

My ranger’s pet bear’s name is Deathclaw.

OMG i want to throw a rock at you!!!!! Fallout 3 was nothing amazing but New Vagas was awesome

Fallout! cuz i like fallout like everyone else lol

what has purchasing a legendary has to do with fun? Nothing… i don’t want a legendary ever. 100% map is boring no because world of gw2 is boring but because its empty. DO i want to map additional 38% in huge zones where im the only person inside? hell nooooooooo. Making another level 80 and level up in deserted zones? No thanks brah. Joining a guild? You don’t need to wait your first level 80 to join one and most everyone is in one since their first 10 levels… WVW is the only good answer, spvp isn’t a good one.

Sceptre #1: Yes, summon clone on mesmer, not target. Though there are benefits to summon on target. There’s just liabilities too.

Sceptre #2: No, don’t change it. It’s amazing at what it does. Channeled block = great counter to warrior/guardian/ele leaps/knockdowns etc etc etc. Also thief backstabs, scorpion whips, yadyada. Don’t want to wait? Hit it again for the blind and you’ll get the same effect, plus confusion if traited.

Sceptre #3: The duration is long but it’s just a matter of getting comfortable with the slower, draw out fight a sceptre provides (as opposed to a sword burst which is at the other end of the spectrum). The channel makes it a great stealth counter among other things. You can start it before a thief goes into stealth, and it’ll keep hitting after that. Also the faster the confusion stacks off it, the sooner the condition will fade. Longer attack time means stacks will draw out over more seconds overall. There are pro’s and con’s to slight variations either way with altering cast speed.

Powerful weapon in the right hands.

As i mentioned, i think that when we use blind from skill 2, it should spawn a clone at targets location so if we don’t need a block, we can at least spawn a clone to shatter or whatever. Because right now its almost like this weapon has no illusions at all and that is the only mesmer weapon without one.

Where is toughness/crit damage/power for example? Hell, even soldier mod isn’t available (toughness/precision/power) wtf? Why… This limits already limited amount of builds in the game.

Soldier is Power/Thoughness/Vitality and it’s available.

The OP is thinking of the PvE Knight’s set, which is high toughness/medium power/medium precision. I think that would be a great set for PvP. We might even see balanced power builds for the warrior and necro become viable. Right now, if you want any toughness AT ALL, you can’t get decent offense with it. Why is everyone surprised people are running full bunker/full burst?

Yeah was referring to pve’s knight mod. Did we get any words if/when they’ll be adding new amulets? Because i was doing lots spvp yesterday (for once lol) and when i asked this in map chat everyone answered with “it will make builds OP” lol wtf kind of answer is that? You’re supposed to have flexible builds (everything tied up to amulets sucks in my opinion and i can’t even run exactly what i want for example) people talk about OP when i asked for mods who should’ve been there from day one already…

Pyroatheist.9031:

The scepter seems to be intended as the condition damage weapon, not the rapid clone generation weapon. Mesmers have rapid clone generation, and using the scepter is not necessary for that. However, scepter is the only weapon that applies confusion.

In keeping with this theme, the autoattacks should simply apply confusion. This used to be the case, and then was removed because mesmer + 3 clones applying confusion was too powerful. The obvious solution is to prevent the clones from applying confusion, and just have the mesmer apply it, on the second chain of the attack for example.

How can you consider a scepter as a pure condition weapon when its autos don’t even apply any condition? Skill 2 is for power/crit builds and skill three does more damage on a crit/power build than on a 100% rabid set. Scepter may be the only weapon that applies confusion but casting time/range is so bad that you need to attack an afk player to land 5 stacks of confusion.
