Like your concept. Not to destroy your work but I’ve thought about possible utilitie skills for necro elite specs that I would find fun to use, and interesting.
How about banners?
Banners focused of dealing damage and debuffing rather than the warriors buffing banngers.
Banners that apply chill, or blindness or pulsing damage?
I’ve been thinking about some reworks for engie rifle lately. The main reason why is becuase of all the reflects and proj. destroying effects in the game – mainly in pvp/wvw.
It was quite hard tho since I like the current AA with its high dmg, long range and accurate projectiles.
To make rifle more viable without having to rely heavily on kits the AA could be changed to a skill that follows the rules above.
For example: A 600 ranged shrapnel shot that hits i.e 3 targets.
The rifle would prob become a pure mid/melee ranged weapon. And we already got a melee one. Also we havent got any single target ranged kit to make up for the loss. But to me it seems like a reasonable thought.
Just got my first piece of ascended gear and wanted to ask if I transmute a racial specific skin on that piece of gear, will I still be able to use it on other races?
Just got my first legacy chest – been going for tribal gear on one of my light guys and I realised that there isn’t any heavy legacy armor. Any1 knows if there is any at all?
They should’ve given the opportunity to reset them several times before.
not that it matters to me. I got all the WvW abilities and 1k points to spare, but it just seems like something that should be in the game to make it easier for new players that don’t really have an idea what’s best to spend points in the first hundred ranks.
Channel skills like Rapid Fire don’t track strealthed enemies, it’s been changed well over 2 years ago
No.
If the skill is started while the thief is still visible then the attack will track him into stealth.
This. And thats with all channeled targeted skills. Unless you move behind the target, then it’ll stop… again unless it’s the Berserker fire sword thing.
As a pve player this makes me very mad considering the issue that came up about Gift of Battles and the wvw reward track. So yes wvw player made a decision about something I NEED for pve. That should have been sent out to pve players as well. I am ok with polls that only focus on wvw issue, but once it effect all parts of the game, more needs to be done.
W never got to vote on that. Just that the reward tracks were here to stay.
What they do with the reward tracks is up to Anet, atleast right now.
To prevent people from farming and trading the same objective over and over. PVE players will flood the game mode and play it for the wrong reasons, loot and wxp.
The mechanic is not perfect but I am glad it is there.
So replace RI with a mechanic that prevents gaining rewards from the capture event for 5 minutes after the last flip.
When there was no RI, anything you flipped could be flipped back instantly – making upgrades and siegeing completely useless. It was never about the reward.
The Tier 1 Weapons will be made available in an upcoming Reward Track, much like the armor already is.
We haven’t fully decided how to distribute the T2 Weapons and Armor yet. Though, we are currently leaning towards players purchasing them with a currency that they’d earn as a match reward. We may also set rank requirements for the various pieces, so you’d need to be a relatively high rank(1-2k) to purchase a full set.
OP, I’m sorry but despite your what 4k hours on engie this seem like a good old l2p issue. Get your build and gear right or you’ll continue to scratch your head.
I was going to write up an actual, thoughtful explanation to the guys who were actually curious as to what the environment is like from the perspective of a female commander.
Then I read some of the stuff written above, and there’s no need for me to do so. It speaks for itself.
I had hoped some of the female commanders would do that. It’s sad that people would rather make mean jokes than listening.
Liked most of the points you brought up.
Can’t speak for commanders, let alone female comms cause neither do I command nor am I a girl,
However, I kinda feel like there are some sexist assumptions out there that a female gamer can’t perform as well as a male gamer. I repeatedly see people say women are better at supporty characters (none leading roles).
This isn’t something I’ve seen in just gw2, but seems to me is a problem in the enitre gaming world.
I can be completely off the map, but I guess this ould be partly why some people stay away from commanding?
Yeah, what Teofa Tsao said… the borderlands haven’t had queues like this since before HoT.
There is barely a queue on EB during prime time, and if there is, it isn’t 105 people in queue and in addition theres a queue on atleast 2 other borders.
75% of the land isnt used for combat? These maps offer far better fights than the dbls did, both large scaled and and that of smaller size. It is also easier to get to a fight across the map if you die.
Why do you care what other people are doing? If you want to blob around, go for it – let other people do what they’re doing if they’re just doing 1v1s.
like a premade of 4 people in ranked who sell win for gold? yes all aspects care me when it bound with me, and i cant leave them like a party in fractals
What in the world does that have to do with people 1v1ing???
Apart from the fact that duellers don’t kill eachother, they let eachother revive from downstate…
just do whatever you want, but don’t expect any help from them when you get ganked later on…
Exactly, usually I have a 5 man group with me when I am dueling, if any enemies jump in, they get rekt. Same thing with the person who is dueling me, they usually have several friends watching for one of our people to jump in and the kill them and my guys do not help. It is just like a dueling code lol. Only thing we can’t really do much about is when a blob rolls through.
So by your own admission there are 10-15 duelers standing around taking up spots on a map for WvW players. Why is that okay? It’s inconsiderate and infantile behavior. This is exactly why I have no problem standing at max range with my ranger and shooting down the red tag. I can be inconsiderate and infantile as well.
Duelers can….
1.Duel in OS
2.Create a custom arena
3.Duel in Eotm
4.Duel in a guild hall
That’s because you have your definition of what WvW is for, while other players i.e. roamers or solo players have one of their own.
Stop telling people to play the game the way you want it to be played, this isn’t spvp where there are set rules to follow in order to win.
I thought it was obvious, but just like others have already said; duellers don’t JUST duel. They roam, the participate in zerging, they scout – they HELP out whenever they aren’t duelling.
If anything you should focus your energy on the AFKers in spawn.

Honestly after a solid week of playing scrapper I think it’s probably the most boring classes I’ve played to date. Perhaps I’m doing it wrong. But gyro’s are pretty weak and easily countered. So those are useless. You have to run maximum invulns with the extreme amount of chain cc’s and rat wells. This severely limits any build diversity and any dynamic skill play. Really disappointed that a class with a high skill cap has been reduced to a static rotation in WvW.
In addition you pretty much have to run group oriented builds with the server mergers as the blobs in NA is pretty pathetic.
If you approach and make yourself visible to the enemy without actually getting involved, you can see their reaction, if they don’t react to you, they are clearly dueling, so I don’t get involved.
4. Healing turret nerf! This is very unexpected but once again a healthy change to the game! 0.25 longer cast actually means skilled thieves can interrupt it!
I have never had a problem interupting the old HT. It’s so obvious when an engineer will use it’s heal and the animation gives it away for anyone that’s anticipating it.
They could atleast have buffed the other heals to compensate. After all, the reason people use the HT is because the other heals are just that bad.
However, that doesn’t mean that we aren’t going to fix this. A fix is in the works right now, and that fix may happen before SAB closes or be there for the next time the festival opens.
What Alpine had as advantages were more open space and (possibly) closer objectives that could interact with each other in siege scenarios.
It’s supposed to be better for roaming as well, but I found it was a lot easier to find enemies on DBL because I knew they’d be funnelled through certain parts of the map in order to get to others. So I don’t understand that one.
I’ll go there occasionally but in my tier you have to go to EB because there’s not enough population to spread across 4 maps. So unless we get a population boost it’s going to be much the same story.
Pretty much this ^
I remember the months before hot were released. Me and some friends were roaming on the BLs, and it was so tedious. It was the same rotation around the map every time, unless we decided to run the other direction.
we didn’t encounter alot of enemies and most of the action were at eb.
Withotu anything done to the population problem ABLs won’t be any better.
It was too good. I mean area bleeds as an auto-attack that could procure bleeds multiple times if done in a pack? I don’t think there’s an auto-attack with that functionality now.
The two styles of play are so drastically different, they are not even playing the same game.
…
I don’t agree with that analogy at all. The difference between a good commander chat commanding and a good commander voice commanding isn’t that great.
I’ve seen plenty of voice commanders successfully using the chat to command when they don’t feel like talking.
Besides, forcing expetations like these onto players is unessecary. If people wanna use TS or whatever client, they can do so. But it’s by no means needed for them to be successful in WvW.
1. Pop-balance – Skill balance, stab changes or rewards. None of these are fun without any1 to play with.)
2. Fix/revert DBLs – They just feel too big, most of the wvw population and queuetimes are now centered around Eternal Battleground.
3. Rewards – I believe some sort of reward for doing what we WvW:ers LOVE would be nice. NOTE: I dont know if player kill-reward or NPC kill-reard would be best.
4. Skill balance – Not the highest prio right now. In the bigger picture things are working out decently. Some skills are very strong in certain situations, but nothing that needs a rush.
Supporting your allies will now contribute toward earning rewards for killing enemies and damaging event bosses. The actions listed below now cause a percentage of the target ally’s damage dealt for the next several seconds to also count toward your participation. In addition to that, damaging an enemy’s defiance bar will also grant you some participation toward receiving rewards from that enemy. In order to discourage AFKing with boon-applying auras, you must still be actively attacking targets to receive rewards from them.
Applying boons to an ally (small percentage).
Removing conditions from an ally (small percentage).
Reviving an ally (large percentage).
Healing an ally (percentage scales based on how much healing is given).
However, there’s two things— first, you still have to attack, and second, only a percentage of the people you support’s damage gets credited to you. So it’s possible that might not have been enough if you and the people you support didn’t do well enough.
Aah yep thats the patch that got me trying healing allies a month ago, to see if I get rewarded for it. It turned out then that I acvtually did get rewards for just healing, no dmg at all.
So I decided to make a full healing engineer, thinking this was intended, and it was like I got rewards for the dmg other people put out Maybe it was a bug then
