Guild Wars 2

A main feature of HoT locked behind a paywall? i am shocked by this development!

Not really.

Wana share your gold with me? pls, ill clean your socks n stuff.

Oh look, another one of these threads, ok ill bite, i wear them because suit my fallen look, not in the universe you say? oh look my norn has them, they are now.

Remember when Shiro was revealed on POI and people kitten ed how it looked overpowered and what not but when you actually beta tested it was actually quite weak compared to other classes and needed a buff..same with this I assume..it may look strong..but is it? If you want broken I am going to point at mesmer’s elite.

lol “hype” i was looking forward to “berserker” but now..eh..if this specialization revolves around condi dmg i am done with warrior and moving to rev.

Kinda unfair considering some other classes seem like a direct upgrade..looking at you mesmer and necros… and warrior..ehh…but i am guessing too early..POI shall decide the fate of my warrior.

What’s with people giving up their class because one new line isn’t what they want? You really think Revenant is going to fix all of your issues? If so, no need to even wait on Berserker news…

Also, none of them are direct upgrades. Reaper was actually far worse than standard Cele Ele last BWE, and Chronomancer is only super powerful due to broken mechanics. It had just as much likeliness of being OP as any other trait line, and in fact, Chronomancer wouldn’t be anything if not for other very powerful trait lines that synergies so well with it.

I now understand how eles felt with warhorn..its mainly because the SOUND of torch is “come on now” is best i can describe it as. I know that elites are are suppose to add something new to a class, i know this, but as mentioned before i am judging merely on one image and will deliver my final verdict on the POI, who knows..we could get something as fun as mesmers with their shield…right?…guys….ill go now.

Dunno what is wrong with thief but i am going to ASSUME that you are saying thief is underpowered….saying that is like saying the zhaitan fight was good and hard.

lol “hype” i was looking forward to “berserker” but now..eh..if this specialization revolves around condi dmg i am done with warrior and moving to rev.

Kinda unfair considering some other classes seem like a direct upgrade..looking at you mesmer and necros… and warrior..ehh…but i am guessing too early..POI shall decide the fate of my warrior.

Personally i think, and fear, is that the berserker spec will specialize in condition damage…please no…i want pure damage…currently warrior is EXPECTED to support..

Valik Shin.9027:

First question should be what are u using it for? PvP, general pve, dungeons/factals, or wvw

As i stated in my last sentence, pve mainly, as in dungeons..fracts..that sort of thing, i will not use sigil of night…cause i just do not like the concept of sigils sometimes not working.

As for my build, strength, arms, and disc, general glass cannon pve greatsword warrior build. my armor is of course berserker.

Small question so my runes of strength and sigil of strength annnnd my greatsword on crit gain might do they stack with each other? or am i wasting my slots with the sigil of strength.

Sorry bad grammar.

Choppy.4183:

Can’t go wrong with both air and fire, if you’re just looking for dps. Not sure what comes out on top math-wise though.

i heard about superior air and major air is good, is it though?

Hello, i hate to bring up this ol topic..i tried searching for a similar topic but found nothing…So my question is what are the two best sigils to attach to my greatsword on my glass cannon warrior..currently i have sigil of force and sigil of strength, currently i have runes of strength as well, so i am basically rocking 24/7 25 might, but iam curious if my current sigils help in any for my dps, i am looking at sigils of air atm but i dunno…notice..i am pve….please don’t say sigils of night or whatever, not fancying those night time sigils.

Thanks for your time!

Or…..how about we do away with the concept of outfits and make each piece into a armor skin…..yay to mix and match nay to stale and stale…you can remove helmets why not allow the removable bit to be attached to other armors?…you guys would have so many more costumers if you did this; i see like 4 outfits that i would buy as a whole if i could take some pieces off.

Welcome! Enjoy a great little to no toxic community..also no sub fee! Message me..Zoa Blackheart..also I’ll gladly..if im online. give a hand should you need it!

Belzebu.3912:

You mean the Champion Risen Krait Nimross ?

Nope there’s another that’s alive. 100% I can tell my living and risen apart!

It had horns and this black mask.

ArchonWing.9480:

Hmmmm, I always thought they were risen champ kraits. The hypnosos? That’s interesting.

The krait seem to be one of the few ebillllll factions in the game, as in they do stuff because they’re jerks and there isn’t much explanation beyond that. Usually I see Gw2 as generally having a pretty politically correct bent to portraying things. (Think: the friendly Centaurs/Dredge so that we know they’re not just all jerks).

Not that it really matters, although I suppose you often run into the generic “always evil” group that does evil stuff even to their own self-detriment. Though I guess that actually happens too sometimes but I will not bring up any real life comparisons. I won’t be surprised if a new area contains ones that aren’t evil in a suicidal way.

Weird..the last thing I’d think after seeing my brothers and sisters killed and turned to zombies was to work alongside them.

Belzebu.3912:

I think the normal kraits that appear are the ones that just happens to be there, they are not part of the Teq event, they spawn in the area no matter if Teq is happening or not.

No…there’s a champion living krait attacking the megalaser that always appears durring the charging phase..among with some other living kraits that attack one of the charging nodes..mind you they attack with the risen..

I know this is off topic with all the HoT topics but I am curious about something..why are there living kraits helping risen durring the event? Sorry If this was answered before but I am very curious about this.

Reece.7341:

Am I the only person who really wishes gliding was designated only for specific “gliding areas”, similar to the way diving goggles work, or perhaps have a cooldown to it? I just feel like gliding will remove any feel of fall damage, and seeing people pop open a glider for the smallest gap is just going to look odd. It takes me back to Aion…

The “gliding areas” are only in HoT zones, there, happy? lol

I think you missed on what elites are suppose to be, they are suppose to expand in a area of the class where they were originally lacking, longbow here apparently is suppose to expand on ranged dps. They are not meant to “empower” so to say the class as a whole, just expand.

TheTrekkie.7153:

Am I the only one feeling that mastery progression is way too grindy? i mean its understandable that it needs to be hard and should take time, but it just doesnt make sense to me how killing mobs and doing pact events will make me a better glider.

Well how would you train gliding? jump from cliff and glid 5 times to upgrade a trait? no that is even worse, thing is there is no true way to perfect training.

I hear if you buy 10,000 gems at noon, while dancing with zhaitan, you will get your glider back.

Sigh…not warrior..next!

Agreed, mixed feelings on snipers though, but eh leave em be, i remember encountering a sniper champion, lets just say it did not die xD

enjoy.

Apolo.5942:

This is meant to group all the Reaper feedback.

My initial PvP impressions.

1- Damage just isnt there.
2- Chill might as well not be there. The combination of slow attack speed and its very short duration unless you go all in, makes it really weak. Even going you still can not keep it up.
3- You get kited to death. Little to no mobility combined with high gap closer CDs and a lack of base +25% move speed makes it very easy to stay away from the reaper.
4- Build up mechanics are a non starter in the world of blow you up meta. The same happens with Hammer and guardian, the hammer is simultaneously their hardest hitting and most defensive weapon and you never see it because the build up required for it to work makes it a non starter. GS on the Reaper is the same, but hits softer, is less defensive and does not sinergize well with Shroud. You end up better served by forgoing everything the reaper brings other than shroud.
5- Grasping darkness needs a MASSIVE and i do mean MASSIVE cooldown reduction, Guardians have 2, 10s CDs gap closers and a teleport. Warriors have 2 gap closers on a single weapon AND bull charge. Necros have neither +25% move speed and no gap closer under 30s CDs. GD needs to be base 10s, its easier to dodge and harder to aim than any of the mentioned above.

3- LOL warriors always had this and we never complained

Reading your first sentence i thought beta was out…went to check..it was not QQQQQQ

EDIT: beta is out ermergard

No, please don’t game is easy enough as is..

If the new axe is like Eternity then it’s skin would change depending on the weather in your current area or something :\ wish Eternity actually blended both sunrise and twilight, instead of recycling the two skins..

slaps hand no! bad! the legendaries are still baking in the oven!

Oh look another one of these threads…listen mate some people pay to show off to other people…making this option you may as well refund everyone who paid real money for these…You suggesting this is like me suggesting to hide legendary skins because they are too flashy and as you put less “clutter”.

Missing the point bruh, the base game in the expansion is just a bonus, it does not add any price to HoT, with out without the base game included it would still be 50 bucks.

Don’t see why people complaining about the wings, the first vampires in Kain had the same black wings.

http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/legacyofkain/images/3/31/Ancient.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090801015230

they also had blue skin… and 3 fingers… and sharp teeth…

hmmmm

so, they didn’t really die out/change (due to the curse inflicted by the Hylden), they just shrank, moved underground and turned into asura… it all makes sense now

Edit: wonder if anyone has made Janos Audron yet

Dear god….. Asura……..it all makes sense…if they were more humaniod instead of dwarfish..but still..the similarities are jaw dropping..

Don’t see why people complaining about the wings, the first vampires in Kain had the same black wings.

Agreed, in the rare times i actually die (huehuehue) It is indeed quite boring to stare at my mighty corpse laying there…would be nice to switch camaras and see what my minions..err..teammates are doing..

starlinvf.1358:

The JP designers are, for a lack of a better word, completely and utterly evil. Several of the early jumping puzzles heavily incorporated camera manipulation into its design. But what they didn’t account for (or evilly left in) was the fact that each race had different camera positions due to height.

Charr have it the worst due to their bulk. Its worst in precision jump puzzles with narrow beams, low ceilings, or tiny platforms.

My massive norn would like to have a word with you.

Palindrome.8904:

I don’t understand the functionality of facial recognition software in the game. Do you just mean video chat? Video chat is a very different technology.

Aside: built-in voice chat would be nice. LOTRO did it and it could be useful in pug situations.

He means stuff that syncs your real face and your toon’s face via cam, so if you open your mouth inrl so does your character.

Everquest 2 had thus and it’s a very old game.

And to the people who say “char and asura will be difficult to blah blah”, everquest 2 also had beasty races and managed it still, quite well may I add.

Don’t see why people dislike this. I personally enjoyed it in everquest 2

lol “most of the players” please introduce me to this person called Most Of The Players.

Tenrai Senshi.2017:

Well, after testing the vendor thanks to the hopes given to me by this thread, I have now lost about 250 gold. I’m feeling pretty crappy now for believing it.

Please close this thread or amend your original post before you cause more people grief.

sigh inb4 people cry “NERF!”

Evans.6347:

Adinay.2589:

I’ve seen FotM level 50 groups in LFG that state “no black wings” so clearly this is a problem.

This is literally the dumbest thing I’ve read all day.

Also white wings are confirmed on next black lion update@@ black winged brothers! to me!

Lol these still exist? alright let us disable visual races, let a option for everyone to be human form, because this encourages uh racial tensions and what not, also some races supposedly have a advantage like short asuras in pvp…so please let racial toggles included too.

Deal with it bruh, people bought these to be seen with, if this is such a big problem i think there’s a option where everyone has some default armor or something and everyone looks like a clone.

I mean really..immersion? Some people roleplay you know, they have their own back story, maybe there’s a reason they have wings or some stupid annoying robot saying stuff constantly.

What they should of done is increase the chance for the portal to drop for every 1/10/20 events/mobs killed/completed in SW/DT, that way people who actually want to and try to get into the event actually have a chance.

Orangensaft.7139:

+1 if it was actually an armor skin :/

or if they released it as outfit AND armor …
(i would pay 10x more for the armor to make the extra work worth it for anet)

I agree, i would of bought this if it was a skin, but as its a outfit i will not throw money at it, i like to mix and match stuff, in this case i like the helmet, but not anything else.

Steeldragon.7308:

Who is disappointed that we didn’t get a new race to play? I always thought that when there was going to be an expansion we would have at least gotten 1 new race to play as (Tengu what I was hoping for) because usually that’s what expansions bring is a new race or two. Instead we just get a new… profession. Mind you, for races that’s been around since day 1. Well, that’s fine but still I’m disappointed there is no new race especially after 2 years.

EDIT: I meant race

This is not warcraft where each new expansion there is a new race.

..why are people so in love katanas so much..they were great for cutting down unarmored peasants, but against heavy armor they went dull and broke quite quickly..sorry voicing my opinion here.

Assume they release it at april..imagine how buggy it will be…remember this recent patch how buggy it was? imagine that x100, so many complaints…release it when its ready.

Shadelang.3012:

if thats gonna stop you from buying it you must not like it very much. I gotta say I am DEFINETLY getting this for either my guardian or my necromancer.

No mate i just like to mix and match i love the helmet but not anything else.
