Guild Wars 2

That’s what I use, but it really isn’t ideal.

It is like you’re wearing a corset, really…

There is a Charr… somewhere that mentions that the Flame Legion killed her female mate. This could however just be an oversight on Anets part and this Charr incorrectly having a female model, who knows.

But it could also be proof of steamy, furry Charr lesbian love!

vespers.1759:

the ignorant in this thread seem to think that anything they don’t understand constitutes spam, which makes me laugh rather hard.

i don’t care if they add it.

If I started spouting Swedish in the /map chat, that would be spam. I’d probably even get reported.

Same deal here.

Why?

You’d get crushed in WvW.

Full Vigil.

Its like a kid ressing up as a Roman soldier for Halloween.

Awwwwwwdorable.

TheNextGuy.4521:

How are they one of the weakest factions technological and number wise, what has happened to them.

At least they’re not as weak as the Sylvari in those aspects.

Nutshel.7264:

please no
last thing we need is Russians spamming on global chats in Cyrillic

^this.

We don’t need yet another group of people spamming gibberish.

Bottom line is that even the off-hand Legendaries require just as much time, effort and dedication to get as the more awesomer main-hand Legenadaries.

Having them being so much worse is a slap in the face for everyone who doesn’t like Greatswords.

Schwahrheit.4203:

I don’t even… okay. You know what? I hope they buff Whirling Attack and I’ll get a laugh off of your videos.

Because lets be reasonable, off-hand Mace > off-hand Axe.

Could you please explain to me why mace is superior to axe offhand?

Looking at the tooltips maceskills have longer CD (unless you trait for it) and do less damage. I often read sentences like yours but I cant understand why everyone think mace is better? Does the extra vulv make up for the lack of base damage?

1. Whirling Axe is generally a lot less DPS than axe auto-attack.

2. You can stack Axe 3 and Mace 4 for a good few stacks of Vulnerability.

3. A ranged, AoE knockdown is always nice.

This is why it would be nice to hide the chest/hand armour for males!

The problem with the Norn female voice lies in the delivery, not the the concept itself.

Neither Christianity or right-wingers are exclusive to America, y’know. And we all know what sort of hypocrites they can be when it comes to killing. As long as you’re killing the other guys and not being romantically involved with them, they are mostly fine with it.

Common Norn belief holds that Kodan are Norn who have become “stuck” in Bear Form. The Kodan themselves neither deny nor confirm this. Personally I think the Kodan are just being courteous towards the Norn belief in not denying it. Makes sense when you consider that the Kodan are trying to take the Norn under their wing and teach them about their beliefs about Balance.

FlamingFoxx.1305:

If Caithe and Faolin were male then they wouldn’t have hesitated to do the exact same thing.

Yes, they would. There is a reason why Caithe was made a “female” and not a “male”. As I mentioned in my previous post, the professional whiners of the religious right-wing are often willing to let lesbians slip by.

Of course we’d love for it not to be, but we all know the truth. Lets not ignore the elephant in the room, shall we?

The male couples are, however, somewhat showed to the sidelines. There is that one story mission with the gay Sylvari whereas the lesbian Sylvari have an entire dungeon dedicated to them – Twilight Arbor.

Interesting.

Dagdar: Please! Enough. Victory is yours. Just let him live!.
Bercilak: Live! Ha! This sapling accepted my challenge and failed. His life is forfeit.
Eladus: Please, Dagdar. Go, and leave me. He’ll kill you too, if you stay.
Dagdar: You’re a monster, Bercilak. I won’t let you do this! I won’t live without my beloved.
Bercilak: So be it. As Ventari teaches, “Hard ground makes stronger roots.”

Howler is a very lackluster Legendary, sorely lacking in the visual department. When doing Honour of the Waves the other day I just noticed that when Legendary Svánigandr howls, he creates a pretty cool image of a howling wolf above him.

How about making it so that whenever you sound the Howler, you get something similar above your character? I think that’d be pretty neat.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure they’re not going to actually have gay Sylvari. Lesbian Sylvari they can get away with because even the Southern Bible-thumping Preacher will admit to it “being pretty hot” in the end.

Such is the moral hypocrisy of our time, I’m afraid. And yes, I am aware that the term gay applies to lesbians as well. But gay men don’t really have a word of their own…

The concept of Jotun violating Human female captives to “make” the Norn makes my skin crawl…

Nothing says that they aren’t either. Based on what evidence we have, it seems very likely.

Weindrasi.3805:

Codpieces and loincloths, please!

I’d kill for my Norn’s stupid boxer shorts to be replaced by a good ol’ loincloth…

He is undead in the sense that his body is made up of dead dragons, which once were alive.

He is an undead zombie dragon.

He probably just flew away when the coast was clear.

Malvado.1460:

humans.
just look at reality, human race destroys and extinguish every think around it.
watch some scifi movies… being alien or charr will not help you escape mankind

Except that humanity in Tyria are very much the underdog, not the facist superpower of WAR: 40K…

Because it is awesome, that’s why.

I mean, come on…

The Moletariat? Awesome.

More Leninism than it is Communism, really.

Bleed gets really crappy benefit from the Condition Damage stat:

5 damage per stack per second per 100 Condition Damage.

Add to that that Bleed is capped at 25 stacks and a lot of classes inflict it, and that some things such as Siege Weapons in WvW and other structures are immune to it… It just sucks. Not worth it as a Warrior.

What does it matter?

Your Tyria isn’t the in-game Tyria!

Your Tyria has zero credibility!

“Yeah, you say the sky is blue, but that isn’t my sky. My sky is coloured pink due to the pink fecal matter left there by floating unicorns!”

Ald.9418:

The easy solution would be to not give the class with the highest base HP and toughness the insane damage it has while being the easiest class to play.

A ’zerker Warrior is as flimsy as a Thief.

Perhaps you should roll one and try it out.

All I know about it is that the Terminator 2 easter egg was flippin’ awesome.

The Vigil set is adorable on Asura.

It’s like a little kid dressing up as a Roman soldier for Halloween!

D’aaaaaww….

I’d have to agree with the above poster regarding the Cave Troll vs Lt. Kholer fight. They could’ve just put the Cave Troll in the Ghost faction as well and they wouldn’t aggro each other. The fact that they didn’t make such an easy fix suggests to me that it was intended for the Cave Troll to be able to fight any Ghost in there.

Plus, you’re really shooting yourself in the foot if you let them fight; if you kill them both you will end up with two Wondrous Bags but if you let them fight there is a strong possibility that you get none because your party did not earn loot rights due to not doing the majority of the damage to either the Cave Troll or Lt. Kholer!

Alasteir.7031:

Technically there is no reason not to use Arcing Slice.

There are technically two reasons why you do not want to use Arcing Slice.

1. Berserker’s Power
2. Heightened Focus

Hundred Blades with 12% extra damage and 9% crit chance for free when at full Adrenaline beats any sort of damage you’d get out of Arcing Slice. If you use Forceful Greatsword (and why wouldn’t you?) you can pull off one Hundred Blades every 6 seconds which will stack Might up the wazoo for you.

There is no way Arcing Slice could come anywhere near that.

So nobody has too many problems with thieves here?
Mesmers wouldnt trouble me tbh, i have one and can spot the real one a mile off. My guardian struggles vs them because he has no mobility and low dps.

Only when they glitch to have perma-Stealth, but even so I don’t find them all that dangerous.

there is no perma stealth glitch. stop posting false information.

Then how come I see so many Thieves that are permanently invisible except for when attacking? Stop trying to cover it up.

Elementalists – because they are:

Tanky.

Healy.

Crowd Controly.

Cowardly.

If you see a D/D Elementalist, don’t even bother attacking. You won’t win.

Nerf the sustain by half and it wouldn’t be so imbalanced.

Permanent chill, godly mobility, and sustain.

Wariors have triple the HP, double the armor and double the attack power too.
Just take a rifle and kill ‘m with y’r 1200 range, D/D have very low range.

All three which are essentially useless against an D/D Elementalist.

Triple the Health? Elementalists have more “effective Health” due to all their healing, invulnerability and escape abilities.

Double the Armour? One word: Protection. 33% raw damage reduction beats our Heavy Armour hands down.

Double the Attack Power? Depends on build. Also, most of it is melee.

However the one point that nulifies it all for sure is the Elementalists ability to just simply run away. Ride The Lightning, go! Teleport, go! Mist/Vapour Form, go! If an Elemetalist doesn’t want to fight you, he/she won’t fight you. If they do want to fight you, however, you’re not getting away as a Warrior.

Good points you made. D/D eles are pretty close to melee range when you think bout it. Considering killshot on rifle can do 14k damage you could technically one-shot a badly built D/D ele at 1200 range.
Cripples also are pretty much useless against a good D/D-ele since they effectively have 4+ condition removals.
The warior can have enough mobility to keep up or choose to go for some ranged but don’t expect to beat an elementalist with your hundred blades. More likely to win using whirling axe, sword-2 spamming to keep up + signet of rage with 30s swiftnes.
What would you say considering above mentioned points?

1. Downing an Elementalist at 1200 range means nothing; as soon as they hit the ground they will Vapor Form away to safety. The further away you are from the Elementalist when he/she goes down, the worse are the results, really… That’s the biggest problem I have with Elementalists; once they go down they are given a free “extra guy” each time. No other class have this advantage and it is so broken in WvW.

2. I’m a Sword/Warhorn Warrior. Even with all the Leaps and Condition Removals that offers, you just can’t keep up. They have far more escapes than you have gap closers and your Cripple on Sword’s 3 has a huge cooldown and they cleanse it real easy. Not to mention that they themselves ooze Chilled and Crippled out of every bodily orifice they have!

Honestly, the best idea is just to avoid confrontation all-together. It is a big waste of time. Like a Benny Hill chase scene.

Charr ate them all. True story.

Okay, okay! I admit it! My people ate them all! We kept saying one more couldn’t hurt, and then they were gone! We’re sorry!

Bad Tribune Zoidberg, bad!

This is about Baby Quaggan Tonic, not the Wintersday Tonics though.

Indeed. That’s the most common armour in the game.

Scootabuser.4915:

Nerf Warrios, Buff Hunters

You just lost all credibility there, mate. Not only are Warriors undeserving of nerfs at this present time, but Hunters don’t even exist as a class in GW2.

At the very least cut it down to your native Borderlands+Eternal Battleground.

The other two Borderlands are alternative realities or something, aren’t they?

Plus, repeating the same thing two more times is an unnecessary amount of anti-fun!

Vapour Form could use quite a smacking with the nerfhammer, for sure. Elementalists can just suicide charge in with D/D then use it to sneak back into a Keep or back to their zerg.

Ugh indeed.

Don’t call it Warrior Elitism, please.

This one is new to me. You jump/climb up onto a spot where the end boss can’t touch you and range them to death without fear of reprisal. Now, I could understand a fresh team of lvl 35’s doing this, but all my parties have been all lvl80’s.

Really now, doing this to poor ol’ AC? How very unsporting! This is not Arah we’re talking, a dungeon that throws every dirty little trick the game has at you. It’s just AC!

I don’t expect people to do this, and I get caught in combat with two melee weapons and have to /sleep through the entire encounter, lol

Perhaps you were able to jump when Transformed at one point, but they’ve since then patched it out?

As a huge towering Norn, using them potions and still being able to jump would definitely be handy during some of the more cramped Jumping Puzzles!

Mystic Starfish.2586:

I think the ones who use spear underwater is a good generalization. Or at least half the ones who use spears. And sorry, but scythes are not used in the same way as polearms. The motions would be very different

Yeah, scythes are farming equipment!

WantedMan.4076:

quit being babies.. lol get a group. take a tower = map completion…

That’s real easy on those servers where you get a full zerg of enemy players barreling down on you as soon as you aggro Veteran Guard.

Jayne.9251:

I think the hope was by getting people to venture into WvW for 100% map completion that it would wind up luring folks in (as it did with me), and provide an ongoing source of interest for end game level 80 players.

The only reason to get map completion is either A: source of pride, or B: to get a component to craft your legendary weapon. However, to complete that legendary weapon you need wvw kills to trade in for the ingredient.

If they’re going to remove WvW from map completion, they should consider an alternate means to get that WvW ingredient, too.

People who are serious about their Legendary don’t do WvW; they sneak all their alts through the jumping puzzles daily – which can be done regardless if your realm controls the objectives or not. Real WvW is too stingy with the Badge drops to be farmable, really.

AmateurGod.5403:

TLDR: skip-elitist-zerkers are ruining the game.

Incorrect! The developers’ choice in designing the parts in between the major bosses in dungeons to be nothing short of unrewarding waste of time is “ruining the game”.

Skippin’ and zerkin’ are just natural results of players having figured this out. Go in, ’zerk the bosses, get your Tokens and get out. Maximum efficiency.

Yeah it is kinda stupid that WvW is required for World Completion (especially that you need all THREE Borderlands! Two of them aren’t technically in your “World” at all, are they?).

The reflecting trait can be hilarious in WvW if you manage to kitten off a lot of ranged people.

You sure know how to pick ‘em, mate. CoE is often considered one of the more annoying dungeons in the game. You really need people that know their stuff in there. Set your sights a bit lower. I’d recommend Ascalonian Catacombs Exploration, with a group of people that know what they’re doing and are willing to explain the mechanics of the different encounters.
