Golem mastery:
1: reduced movement speed
2: unable to use portals
3: 300% increased dmg taken
4: ability to insta kill the driver
5: Self destruction 10min after building it
Yes im very serious ahum, on a more realistic note, they dont need mastery as theyre powerful siege alrdy
Yeah, GW2 has by far the worst stealth mechanic of any MMO I’ve played.
And I say that as a Thief.
Idd, they tried to approach stealth on a whole other way but failed terribly giving thieves the ability to spam stealth like this in combat, idc much if they can hide perma out of combat but this is ridicilous and could use a rework, not nerf nerf nerf but a rework.
I find it somewhat amusing that the PvE’ers are talking kitten about Valentin. He’s a pretty well known tPvP’er.
At least be constructive instead of just spouting the “L2P” or “Get used to it” nonsense. Try not to get so personal about it for once, think objectively.
+1 especially second part.
People should stop smacktalking bout rangers and also stop underestimate them, ofc anything a ranger can, another class can do better but theyre awesome in roaming in small groups, zerg fights they can do pretty nice aswell picking off stragglers
Stealth is a broken mechanic and definitly needs a rework, they should not be allowed to spam stealth in combat like this, and yes flame on me but i think its broken and im not the only 1.
Go figure why Anet allows us to put down stealth traps, they may think its broken too!
Its a known bug and happens a lot to me, simply log out game and restart and it should be fixed then.
they should add a sell/buy back to items, so u can exchange it for another or a refund in the next hour after u purchased it
Only have 1 question: When will you guys fix the current maps we have like all the bugs and glitches before coming with new content? i really dont get it
Anet wont fix anything, look at the search on this forum, never ever worked so dont hold ur breath on this one!
Pet AI is not working for wvw, what i do in groups is get the bear and fernhound, put em on guard so theyre still a bit of use with F2 (condi removal and regen)
Oh yea some events will show a build in progress, other times im walking at quarry and still see the supply count of garri and that kind of stuff
While I get that this needs to be fixed, this isn’t as bad as people are making it out to be.
Fiery Greatsword gives 5 Fiery Rush uses per cycle to two players, and does approximately as much damage as this per use. Over time, a single elementalist using FGS with someone to pick up the other one does double damage with that skill alone (not even taking into account the other skills on FGS). Additionally, in the video linked immediately above me, the difference between the speed of the gate going down when the signet is active on the gate and when it is not is negligible.
1 necro using it, is no problem idd, but a whole server that actually asks ppl on TS to log their necro and spam it on gates, its a huge problem. Ok its hard to understand if you havent witnessed it yourself but i can tell ya, itsa game breaking bug.
NA players have been using this since the new healing skills came out, and it has not been a problem here.
It’s not even a big deal, no one in NA goes out of their way to spam it. We don’t have necro blobs running around, we just play like we always have, if there happens to be a necro in your group then sure it might be used once or twice but it isn’t game breaking.
EU are last to learn of this, and first to abuse it, it seems. I seriously forgot all about this skill until reading these late-to-the-party EU threads. This ‘issue’ frankly ranks at the bottom of the list of things that need fixing in WvW.
If the enemy is running a bunch of necros just go out there and vaporize them with your hammer train, they won’t be able to defend themselves. Then throw ballista’s on their corpses.
I’d like to ask you to come to Gunnars Hold and see this blob server we have in match up using this exploit to the fullest, see if you still say its not game breaking, this issue should be hotfixed right away and not on 4feb.
So this will fixed at 4 feb? DO YOU REALIZE HOW GAME BREAKING THIS BUG IS??
Yes, im raging since its to kittenin lame anet dont see what effect it has, this needs to be hotfixed ASAP
You should be able to hit enemies through walls with melee attacks. I think there are environmental weapons around you can pick up if you don’t have any melee attacks.
This problem has affected most underwater areas in the game since launch. Seems that Anet has no interest in fixing it.
Funny you said Anet AND fixing in one sentence, i dont think that word exists in their dictionary ( sarcastic hint dev team, go fix your game )
This definitely needs corrected immediately in a hotfix.
Exactly, gamebreaking bug and used by a lot of people, not going to accuse the world that just breached our keeps etc as i guess more servers are doing it but you can stop with it already!
Im not sure if this has been brought up before but the necro’s signet of vampirism is bugged and works on gates in wolrd vs world, you can litteraly burst through gates faster then siege and this should be fixed asap as its game breaking
Many people have things they want to say to the team too, that is what these forums are for. Get in line like everyone else, you’re not special and your ideas are not more important than ours :p
Pretty much offtopic, but i love your signature! meta meta meta current meta……
WvW=Large Scale Battles aka Zergs, simply remove ressing while in combat and forced respawn when you die xtimes in a short period
Theres WAY to much spamclick we have to do, very annoying and dont understand why Anet hasnt came with a open/consume all function right with release
Not saying I use one, but auto-clickers might help with this situation. Set it to 1 millisecond clicking so it might go through a stack of 250 in a matter of seconds.
Wouldnt surprise me if some people actually use auto click programs to avoid spamclick in this game, im almost at the point of considering to use 1 myself even thought i may get hit by the banhammer
Seriously, can we get an open/consume all option on bags/karma/chests whatever?
This kittened spamclick to open everything manual gets old really fast.
I have put it here as they seem to have closed the suggestion subforum which makes me think Anet sick and tired of people like me asking for stuff that provides alot of convenience.
Im a ranger aka mobile ac, theres no need at all to make siege movable and what Lord Kuru said its true, trolls will take the siege to the worst spots possible.
Solution: kill them till theyre tired of running back, problem solved.
This isn’t a bad idea. But I think it would need to be something along the lines of “Refresh 15 pieces of siege with 45 minutes or less remaining on the timer.” Granted, they still need to give us a way to destroy or recycle troll siege/poorly placed siege as this daily would encourage keeping that stuff refreshed, but that issue has been discussed into the dirt already.
it would keep badly placed / troll siege up idd, thats a downpoint of a daily like this but we already have the repair daily that drains keep supps with people repairing a wall thats under constant treb fire
and yes, a 40min timer minimum to count towards daily is a nice idea aswell
This would be a nice idea to get more people doing the unrewarding but so effective job to keep all the prebuild siege up, i run alot around the border clicking it and its not a big deal to me but sometimes it feels like im the only one clicking them while there are 50+ roaming all over the place.
They could simply allow ranged siege built near NPCs in a keep/tower to be reset by NPCs. I get why their is a timer but it is a bigger PIA than the problem it is trying to solve. ANet really needs to promote better keep defense and this would definitely help that.
No lol, that would be silly to do, think off those patrols between inner and outter keep walls/gates would nearly reset all siege in there and that job is something a player has to do , not a npc AI

Gunnars Hold seems to be fine, rarely same match ups over and over again, sometimes it is with another server but 3rd is random and also close to eachother rank wise so no match up is actually a blow out for any of the 3 servers, i do like it now tbh instead of the one we had before leagues where u could be matched up with servers +8 -8 in ranks
No you are wrong Jocksy, capping as a zerg doesn’t make the cap point flip any faster.
Mizu your idea would shut down strategies that allow the destruction of the inner wall before outer is breeched.
big groups capping circles faster then 5-6 persons, sentries are an exception but who cares about those anyway
As you state:
WvW makes the Least money out of the big 3, (pve, spvp, wvw) or at the very least, Pve, no gemstore items for WvW have appeard and many (costumes, toys) do not work in wvw at all, anet being a business places with priority and resources into that which makes them the money.
I believe this to be the answer.
ofcourse it makes the least money out of the 3, theres hardly wvw specific items in gemstore! Throw in some siege skins / gearskins for wvw only etc etc and voila, market created, lots of people will invest money playing wvw
my likes
1. spending an hour quietly setting up defenses in a tower, having both other servers make a push resulting in us losing everything except that tower, turning the tide through a strong defense and pushing back out to take the map back. that moment the momentum comes to a halt and switches directions is infinitely satisfying.
2. tracking enemy movements and even numbers just through reading the map, and having a team move in to intercept on the way to their next target.
3. working with a small handful of people, and always being one step ahead of enemy zergs.
i have a lot of dislikes, but i’ll try to limit it to just the top 3
1. the WXP train incentive system. strategic play gets next to nothing. forming a blob and running clockwise gets a small fortune. it’s really not very hard to see which one the majority of players would rather spend their time doing.
2. the actual layout of the maps. EB isn’t quite as bad, but the borderlands layout accounts for quite a few of overall problems with the gameplay. the most valuable areas are basically nextdoor neighbors, and the towers meant to help protect them are behind them. it’s just set up completely backwards. with everything so close and convenient, there’s no reason to ever break off of the blob, you can run to anywhere you need to be in a matter of seconds. areas take forever to upgrade, but only a minute or two to flip. even a fully upgraded keep can be flipped before the waypoint opens up.
3. the complete lack of support since launch. there are countless severe bugs, glitches and exploits roaming around WvW right now. hack and other cheats seem to go unpunished. we ask for recognition, we got an endless grind. We asked for WvW to not be a massive gold sink, we got a champ farming train plopped on top of us. We asked for more incentive to play defense, we got arrow carts of ultimate destruction, then rams of gate shredding. there’s a large portion of the playerbase that are, in essence, beaten dogs. some are feral and growling, some whimpering, and some are dead in the corner. it’s not an easy job to walk into. good luck Josh.
was about to type my own but saw this and completely agree with everything said above!
Now we wait for a copy/paste of the party options in wvw!
Zerging = large scale battles, something arenanet said wvw would be, this wont help much tbh
Happens on more servers then just Vizunah
Just saying
It has a positive side though, no updates means no stuff that kittens things up even more
Whatever happens, ill still play my power build on ranger
QQ QQ QQ QQ QQ
Make it so people can only rally of a person when tyhey have done a certain amount of dmg, think right now u only need to hit once and beside that, how many people can rally off 1 person dying? 10? 50?
im on of those flipping your stuff when your asleep! now stop flipping mine when im in my bed!
Kthxbai!
very constructive thanks
yes its constructive /cough, now on a serious note, you night times, are someone else day times. or people dont have school or 9to5 jobs, like me.
If you really care about the PPT, join a more healthy server with people around 24/7 or get some guilds to your server to cover the dead hours
Its like this since release and nothing has changed or annoucned its going to change so stuff it and get over it and just play the game to have fun and stop whining about this so called “nightcapping” in a 24/7 globalwide game.
im on of those flipping your stuff when your asleep! now stop flipping mine when im in my bed!
Kthxbai!
It is impossible to hit 16k with warrior rifle kill shot while in dire gear.
Not upleveled. Dire Gear. 16,000…
Fighting in a 3v1.
Want to try again?
3v1, thats 4 players, and u dont see the warrior kneeling down doing that loooooong cast kill shot requires? then im afraid u need to be aware of ur surrounding a bit more and dodge it.
as Milkzz said, only in a zerg you have an excuse for not seeing that coming
Zerg solution: ask everyonie to throw down supply traps anywhere, ive seen 60+ blobs making a U turn after hitting 3 lol
I think they should get rid of PvD at all, doesnt make sense you can burst throuigh it without siege, making siege and supplies completely unnecesary, or at least a dmg reduction on upgraded, like 1dmg each hit. Make people work and think about capping instead of mindlessly rubbing face on the gate and getting away with it.
Why we cant damage walls with our hammers and grenades, no idea.
Love to upgrade towers/keep and siege em to the teeth just to make the attackers life to a HELL ( yes imma siege rat and put all my rangers mastery points in siege + might – underpowered ranger? stand in the ac rain and say that again hur hur )
Lets share our funny moments with the rest of the forum!
Ill kick off with some of the funny moments i had so far
1) Capped a camp and saw 3 thieves getting ready to backstab me, at the moment they popped i simply dodged and saw them all 3 being downed by the buffed Supervisor ( i still have to laugh when i think about it)
2) Underworlds Snowman zerg, yes a 60+ zerg roaming over the home border all being dressed as a snowman, enemy groups followed us laughing out loud
3) 10 flying omegas, altho itsa hack it was very funny to see 10 omegas flying over the hills keep
Feel free to throw in your funny moments!
Yh great idea change your life for stupid online game . To be honest night capping is one of the biggest bulls**ts in this game . I know it is really awesome when your server got night cappers and you are practically win every week doing nothing but it really sucks when you lose match-ups only because of night cappers .
your nights, is someone elses day………its a MMO and goes on 24/7 so suck it up
Now, on a serious note….can we stop complaining about night capping. They play the same game we do, and they play when they have a chance to play. Those 16 hours deserve to be counted just as much as the 8 primetime hours. Night capping, is done by people who are playing in their primetime. Let’s be supportive of those members of our community
Quoted from the OP but some people go on haha
CYB, your argument is invalid
I (almost) never lose my trebuchets of my tower and always
- drain the blobs supply
- shoot down all their siegeBut guess what? Then they just melt the gate by force.
pretty much every tower i had sieged up and defended was lost to attackers that did not use (or lost their) offensive siege.Taking down fortified wall with 2 trebs takes more time than PvD reinforced gate with 30 man group.
This. so much. And that is just wrong.
Taking down the wall should be slow. but PvD should be impossible.Actually this is the invalid argument:
“Defending SHOULD be easy with a 5 man team.”Against a 50 man raid? Why? Because you put alot of effort in upgrading it?
Taking out PvD will make defense easier? Blobs will ninja your tower just as fast and there will be nothing you can do about it if you don’t have numbers / help to call.
“Like Memphisjz said if the defenders kill the enemy siege then the defenders should win, because the enemy should resupply and build new siege to get in the tower/keep. "
Win what? A few minutes more?
I’m not pro PvD and I don’t really care about it, I countered many such attemps with well positioned ACs, trebs or catas and player AoE. I dont agree on that 5 vs. 50 should be in favor of the defender.
50 vs 50 is in the favor of the defender.Are you talking about “bad game design” or unbalanced fights?
I don’t expect to keep a tower for more than a few minutes if 50 people are attacking and we are 5 inside with no reinforcements.
So take out PvD to win what?
well take out PvD so the blob needs some tactic and usage of their supply to build counter siege with to clear inside defensive siege, then itsa legit way to get a tower with 50people and i dont ahve any problem with that
but but facerubbing your way to get in gets old really fast and has to stop, whats the use of supplies anyway if you dont need to use em?
a lot of professions can shred you in a very short amount of time, its how anet wants it apparently. my favorite to watch is the elementalists rain fire while in tornado form and clear walls.
Elementalists who can do that also die when you so much as sneeze on them, whereas warriors built to do those 15k+ killshots can survive a lot of hits. Big difference.
If you get killed by a killshot you couldnt see due to big group fights, tough luck, its probably the easiest to avoid big hit if you see it and most warriors dont even use rifles
What about the stat buffs guilds can use once claimed, like more health/armor etc.
Usually much much better then putting +5 on a tower/keep as people tend to drain the supplies you can use to defend/repair etc.
I dont see the need of guards telling the guildies structure is under attack or even a WP for guildies only, your guild claims the tower, your guild is going to upgrade/scout it.
If you dont watch the claimed structure at all, you dont deserve to keep it.
