Guild Wars 2

Sounds op, nerf incoming after a few weeks.

Perhaps they could get rid of them altogether and give us the option to equip instead. Least we can transmute or more options for legendary weapons.

I’d rather have the Ele use a Greatsword or Hammer and for offhand a Shield.

Meh! The ele changes are underwhelming to me so i wont be coming back anytime soon.

Mirsa.1628:

The ele is high risk, (usually) no reward.

^This!

Bright.9160:

Oh my god I’m pretty mad right now… Zodiac weapons in GW1 were acquired in 2 elite dungeons, and were really nice. At least back then you had to complete challenging content in order to get your weapons.

Now, RNG boxes.

I heard people like those RNG boxes. Oh wait they don’t.

I hope the guy that came up with the idea to put zodiac weapons in BLC’s steps on a piece of lego. Barefoot.

No I actually wish a lot worse things upon this person, but since I don’t like infractions or being banned, I’ll keep them to myself.

^LMAO.

I enjoyed spectating in Guild Wars. Ah memories!

If that happens Elementalists will become even more OP. They need a nerf quick!

Yes please! Got 2 ascended ring on my Elementalist but i’d rather have them on another character.

Sevenix.4508:

There are 3 versions of each ring though, each being the exact same but with a different type infusion slot(Defensive, offensive or Utility).
Just get 2 out of the 3 and you can use 2.

^This.

Nikkinella.8254:

Why are you surprised? After all the repeated nerfs, we’re terrible right now. We never were the best class, people just thought we were OP because they were scrubs and we had unpredictability and we were pretty mobile. But now everyone is used to all eles tricks and learned how to counter us, like they should have done before screaming for us to be nerfed into the ground. But we still got nerfed anyway so we suck. I started out as an ele, but I’ve been spending more and more time on my guardian and warrior lately. They’re just so much better in every conceivable way. Anything an ele can do, they can do exponentially better. Seriously, just roll another class at this point. The difference is like night and day. After playing another class our weakness becomes even more apparent. The only problem is i’m quickly becoming bored with them. They’re nowhere near as fun as ele.

^I agree with you.

Meglobob.8620:

Wonder, which professions will get the NERF STICK FROM HELL, today?

Hope Ranger gets it in the neck again…give up on it a few months ago, so I can laugh at them…

Probably Elementalist. They nerf the profession for the lulz.

To be honest the game is pretty much a mess.

The focus fire/water skills are terrible shame that the air and earth skills suffer because of fire/water skills exsistance.

Any buff to the fire/water is welcome.

A lot better than the current traits we have. Also they need to fix bugs with our kitten traits which should not of taken this long to fix.

How cool. I like the before entering the site. Like hovering over Eric and Ree, watching her spin around and Eric kicks her back into position. Weeeeeeee!

I wouldn’t mind seeing the GW wards coming back.
Ward of Stability
Ward of Weakness
Ward against Melee
Ward against Foes
Ward against Elements
or even this for an elite too
Ward against Harm

Pointless item.. 800Gems?! Well i’m sure it is worth something to someone. The only good thing about it is that it’s account bound. Wish the gathering tools were.

I’ll stick to Mystic Forge kits.

Tolmos.8395:

If they had experience scrolls that jumped you 20 levels, I would be all over that. After three level 80s, I’m tired of leveling… but I’m not tired of alts =D

^Well said.

Vayra.3290:

JonathanSharp.7094:

So I looked into this, and I thought it was fixed. Are you still seeing it? Where are you seeing it? What’s getting through? Keep in mind that condition damage will still tick, but NEW condies should not be able to go through.

Since we can no longer cleanse conditions in mist form I think it’s a bad idea to let them still tick. Even if it does not remove the conditions it should at least prevent the damage.

^ I agree.

RyuDragnier.9476:

Troll detected.

cheshirefox.7026:

i think ArenaNet wants elementalists disadvantaged in every possible category
Thoughts?

^Haha. I have to agree, devs really do not like Elementalists. Prefer you to play Guardian or Warrior.

Nuka Cola.8520:

Its players that are disappointed by ArenaNet

^This.

As long as it is not mini’s or town clothes.

Fishbait.6723:

Yerp, I do recall using mist & heal at times.
Everybody whinging it was yet another of our op spell combos.
I especially remember it when I still see these days a guardian bubble & heal, ranger/mesmer/thief stealth & heal, warrior use invulnerables & heal.

Hmm, remind me, why are those allowed but ele & engie aren`t?

^My thoughts exactly!

Mist form nerf? I also stupidly used all my laurels too.

How many more nerfs can the Ele take before being useless altogether?

Fungalfoot.7213:

It just goes to show that they balance everything around guardians and don’t really give two figs about the rest of the classes. Sure it’s beatable as a necromancer or ranger. You just have to try a hundred times harder. Balance!

^QFT

I don’t like this update either, such a weak attempt that i am not going to bother with the Living Story. If i could get a refund for all the gems i purchased i would happily say good riddance. Meh.

Too many hurricanes flying about.

Nuka Cola.8520:

Insignya.8625:

Why should I watch a GW2 tournament? The game is broken and boring to watch. When I feel like watching competitive gaming I tune in to SC2’s streamed tournaments or the Dota 2 International. GW2 is just a pathetic joke in terms of its pro scene (doesn’t exist).

i watched for like 15 minutes and for the duration was just laughing how poor and boring it was. All there was is aoe spam with pets running around. It was absolutely pathetic and anet should just stop even trying to push this to esports. Even if they add gvg, its still gonna be aoe fest because this game has no strategy involved. There’s not “shut their monk while i burst their ele”, here its “spam aoe /win”. Its pretty sad lol and for those who’ve missed it, you didn’t miss anything

I agree, wish they would stop pushing this game to be an esport because it will never be. Happy to shoo away Guild Wars which had the best PvP and yet they release this cluster**** of a mess. Sorry but no. Hah.

Oh and lets not forget that at anet HQ they have their own favorite professions which is so blatantly obvious from constant nerfs to one proffesion to constant buffs to another.

If i wasn’t able to use the combat action mod, i don’t think i could continue playing. Constantly having to hold the right mouse button. Errghh! Either make the game a full on tab target or actual action, why half and half?

Personal story started off really interesting but from Claw Island it just got so tedious and uninspiring, also the NPC’s that help you are not helpful. My GW1 companions would of been much more helpful.

Eli Stormstrike.8637:

I’d love for this to be implemented. Account-bound skins should have been in at launch.

^Absolutely agree with you.

Tamaki Revolution.3548:

You should get a medal for bothering to level a ranger now :P

^This.

I agree.

Raine.1394:

I think a set of unlimited use gathering tools would be an excellent Birthday present!

Oh! I would love that!

Crossplay.2067:

I still wonder why they are doing more socializing on other sites than their own. I don’t frequent Facebook or Reddit and even though I’m on these forums at least 5 days out of the week, I have yet to hear of any news here first.

^This!

The Engineer backpacks are such an eye sore.. Errgghh! I want to be able to see my beautiful desert rose

Never understood a word of that but i thought it was really awesome. If only they would release language packs while still keeping English texts.

Pegaasus.3280:

Cuchullain.3104:

They nerfed some of our best pets, like the wolf, 5o percent. My pet dies standing at my side in WvW yet we don’t have an option to stow them in combat. It’s ridiculous.

They also severely nerfed longbow damage in this patch, and gave us some wonky stealth mechanic that doesn’t work all that well. It is supposedly an escape tool, but you have to shoot someone to get stealth and that puts you in combat and slows you down. We still have variable range damage which is horrible given the realities of WvW and PVE where a lot of combat occurs at close range. Longbow has a very narrow cone of fire in front of it and it is kitten near impossible to circle kite someone at close range with it as you will cancel the shot with the slightest turn.

Oh, did I mention that Rapid Fire still looks like this:

Obstructed, Obstructed, Out of Range, 1256, Obstructed.

Out of 8 times I tracked my use of stealth in WvW it has failed 6 times and worked twice. One time it failed was due to a warrior blocking it and the other times I have no clue. Beyond that my impression is that it fails a lot though I haven’t been keeping tabs or noticing why it fails. Add that to Point Blank Shot which routinely fails due to the 1/2 second cast time allowing NPCs and humans to get behind you and cause the shot to fail.

I don’t know why some people are so enthusiastic about the changes. The class is still broken and while stealth is a “step in the right direction” it is a baby step and still dysfunctional and of marginal utility given its high failure rate and requirement that you hit someone. It simply is not something you can rely on in combat and at best it’s kind of a Hail Mary Pass and nothing else.

^Spot on!

Thieves will always be overpowered, always have been and always will be.

Guardians are the best at everything, with constant buffs and in the “top tier” of group play, what more could you ask for? I started as a Ranger but the thing is if i were in a party of say 2Guardians, 1Warrior, Mesmer and a leader saw either another Guardian or Warrior LFG i would know for a fact i will be the one to be kicked.

Got rid of my Ranger and started to level a Warrior and Guardian..

Somoe.3621:

Rangers, along with Thieves, are fine in group PvE but they’ve been given a bad reputation by all of the mouth-breathers that play them. I’m a bit wary of grouping with Rangers (or Thieves) in PvE but I’ve never kicked or seen someone get kicked just for their class…

There are a lot of idiots out there that think only Warriors, Guardians, and Mesmers are any good in PvE; ignore them.

Got into a full party but when they saw the paw icon, i got kicked and was only in the party for 5 secs…

To be honest i don’t know if i will continue playing Ranger, the reputation it has received is too great even if they did get a slight buff this patch, she has a Chop-it-all axe so i could use her for gathering..

I’ll try and find an actual active guild too, perhaps i will even experience my first dungeon sometime soon.

Thank you everyone for your input.

Okay thanks, i’ll try and stick with it then. Feel like the unwanted ginger step child in the family.

Just got to level 80 too and joined a party for the Candidate Trials and i got kicked for being a Ranger, are Rangers really that much of a burden in a small party setting?

ZudetGambeous.9573:

Oh look gaurdian and warrior buffs… how shocking and surprising…

Well at least they are consistent with every patch since launch….

It would be a lot quicker if they just gave warrior and guardian IWin buttons and were done with it.

Pretty much. No idea what goes through their heads..

arenanet care toooooo much for e-sport

Don’t use these two words in one sentence, at least not in GW2.

They care about e-sports, but not developing PvP.

There is no e-sport, without developing PvP in this case.

That’s why it is not considered yet as an E-Sport. :O

Sorry but this game will never be an “e-sport”, they are incapable of balancing the professions. Such a shame how Anet went from GW1 to GW2.

Gandarel.5091:

You said ‘GW1’. From this point the devs will jus reject what you suggested.

Haha. Pretty much.

philosophy they chose.

What philosophy?

Well, no gear treadmill and no sort of progression, many people like the way it is now (explore and redo stuff), but many others don’t.

<————————-WOW and Rift are back that way. If continuing gear treadmills and constant progression is what you want then go back to wow or play rift cause you are in the wrong game. You people are a fickle lot.. Rift was bashed to no end for being similar to wow and here you all are wanting to turn GW2 into wow… The day they turn this game into wow is the day I quit. Anet were very up front and informative at the beginning and long before launch that gw2 will not have a gear grind, so you people have no excuse to complain. You knew when you pressed that play button that this is a no gear grind game.. What? You thought you would just cry and whine til they give you your gear grind like a bunch of spoiled brats? pfft!!!! Get over it and stop trying to ruin this game. GW1 has the same philosophy.. Once I had avatars in their prestige armor those days of constant searching for new upgrades were over and that is the way I like it. I don’t want to change my armor like you change underwear. I like concentrating on playing the kitten game instead of having to constantly worry about gearing up every freakin frackin level..pffft…

I don’t want GW2 to turn into WoW-clone, I just said I have no solution to create a better endgame given what the game stands for… actually all my suggestions have been posted in Suggestion Forum, while respecting the ideas behind the game, some people just should stop nerd-raging. lol

Ermm.. Sorry to burst your bubble but it already has.

Gandarel.5091:

That’s how I feel. We loved it, supported it, and got nothing we wanted with GW2. Devs promised us even in the manifesto that it will have everything we loved from GW1. Of course this cannot come true, and i don’t want it to be, but GW2 has nothing what we had and loved.

The problem isn’t that these things aren’t implemented yet, but that these aren’t planned at all.

We had many gamemodes, build diversity, LFG system, template saving, rewards for doing PvP, GvG (which could be our PvP guild missions, everything is given), Heroes’ Ascent (the best PvP ever made). And guild capes. Don’t forget capes. Backbanner sucks. And so on.

What do we have? Conquest. I like conquest. But I had enough time to like conquest for nearly 1 year now, also, we haven’t even got unrated tournaments, and hotjoin is just a cancer of PvP (fastest way to get rankpoints is to avoid combat and ignore tactics), so if you want to play solo, you have to yolo.

Sometimes it feels like if GW1 had something that was working and everybody loved that, is treated as a forbidden thing that should never ever happen again. If they spot that you write “GW1”, they just ignore you, and this is sad.

ArenaNet is just throwing out veterans to the thrashbin. GW1 players are like the abandoned stepchildren.

Maybe a bit harsh, but these are my thoughts. Thanks your reading Had to write it off. But I’m not here to whine only:

Suggestions:
-Remove hotjoin
-Add unrated tournament
-Add an observer mode for top ranked tournaments that EVERYONE can whatch IN-GAME
-Unique drops from win chest (like minipets), that we can sell on the trading post. Gear is not they way anymore. Not alone.
-Add a buff that stacks with consecutive wins. If you win a tournament, and win the next round too, you will get 100 bonus rank points. If you win another one, you get +200. If you lose one, bonus is lost. This stack has infinite duration and is only lost after a lose.
-Improve in-game statistics panel. Like best rank on the leaderboard, or a visible rating.
-Rewards and achievements for being high-ranked. Like title points after each win, and the higher ranked you are, the more you get from wins. Or a currency you get from high-rated wins, that players can use to purchase unique skins, finishers, minipets, etc.
-GvG or HA. Or both. GvG could be our PvP guild mission, and since we can be in 5 guilds at the same time, we could have some guilds for practice, some with friends and some for hardcore purposes. GW2 pefectly supports GvG.
-Capes.

I absolutely agree with you.

Since this morning i have started to get lag now.
