Necros aren’t supposed to be escape easy i think that was stated by a dev
I think they should raise everyones speed to 25% faster at the point
This leaves warriors guards and engineers the dust

Rerolling necro, a speeding tank now

Warkupo.1025:

This change to other classes speed capabilities will most certainly spell the end for all thieves everywhere and forever. Never again will we be able to marginally outrun out an opponent. Truly a sad day for thieves everywhere. RIP.

Other way around
The signet buffs just makes the enemy get faster to the thief to get facerolled

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/necromancer/Signet-of-the-Locust-runspeed-buff
Looks like The devs have decided to give everyone a move speed passive buff
The king of speed buffs has been given another one the elementalist
Why the hell has the necromancer been given a speed buff they sre not supposed to be cruising around like a thief
Ehhh what the hell lets buff the mesmersmove speed too
Leave the warriors and guardians in the dust
Looks like fast move speed combat is new thing
*edit
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/mesmer/So-signet-of-locust-air-and-the-hunt-are
Looks like mesmer getting speed boost too

Thank you Jon this is all we ask for is some feedback on progress

The bows don’t autoattack at 1200 range but the rifle does
This is annoying i’m pretty sure this isn’t that hard to patch

So what do you want them to do about it?
Most importantly how is posting on forums going to help

Besides why you would you want your enemies getting free seige to kill you.
It take like 15 mins to run the entire puzzle

Rakuren Kenshou.7689:

Hello one and all.

I’m a member of the Isle of Janthir server.

When the game first came out, people were very violent around the jumping puzzles in WvW, some even camping at the waterfall entrance and killing the low health opponents as they dropped in.

This seems to have faded recently, but not all the way. Often when I see enemies I will stop and wave or bow in order to show my peaceful intent. Often this is met with a similar gesture, but occassionally it is met with a greatsword to the face.

We are all in the jumping puzzles for the same reason, to challenge ourselves, collect badges, or for acheivements. If we were trying to find someone to kill, we’d approach a keep or get into a zerg group.

So can we please call an “unofficial” ceasefire in all of the WvW jumping puzzles? Especially in the Obsidian Sanctum. That is a LONG puzzle, and it really sucks to get killed by enemies when you are 80-90% done of it, especially if it’s your first time going through.

HB does not believe in jumping puzzle

moekhajavi.3540:

I agree with the doom and gloom needing to stop… I still check the ranger forums everyday looking for news on update but I just hit lvl 42 on my ranger which is my highest level character and I feel with my condition spec I do really well in pve….havnt tried pvp really though.

Try pvp

No boons provide agony resistence infusions in ascended armor does

NaturalPortman.9562:

I swear the ranger is the biggest gong show I have ever visited / read. The class isn’t far behind the other classes in terms of effectiveness, the only thing the class needs is a few tweaks not a complete overwork of the class. Some people already know just how powerful the class would be if the pet hit enemies while moving, I even think that would make our damage creeping over the level of being overpowered. The ranger is in the state that any little change will make it extremely powerful or slightly underpowered, which is why it’s probably worrisome for the devs to make any drastic changes suddenly.

A dev actually admitted the ranger being the most underpowered class if that clears anything up
Wait so you saying that our pet being broken is a good thing?

Seren.6850:

what about the ones that alt-f4 when I’m running towards them?

Then you lol because they so bad they can’t face you

Omg Jon replied and confirmed 2 new things for rangers in one day. Praise the lord

I hate guilds that hop around and boost servers to where they shouldn’t be only to have them get pummeled

Thank you for insulting all of SoS.

Well if they stay i’m fine with that but if you join for a few weeks than leave it messes up ranking and player distribution

Take a a watch he hits every point that is flawed about GW2
He deserves more subs and viewers he has good content

Lol no precursor is still exotic weapon it is same as puttign 4 random exotics in there

Whooo Hooo finally something goes through to the devs horray

I hate guilds that hop around and boost servers to where they shouldn’t be only to have them get pummeled

CHIPS.6018:

I had played wvw for a while and 99.99% of the fights are on land. I am surprised that none of the forts are underwater to encourage underwater combat. In future maps, I hope they add some underwater fortresses and strongholds.

Underwater combat is terrible.
1. It’s Awkward
2.Takes too long to kill somone
3.what about seige

Katsumoto.9452:

Predator.7321:

It’s so you don’t make alts and run puzzle like 5 times and move all seige to 1 guy

People do this anyway via the method I just said. Is it really so bad if somebody gets some siege from jump puzzles? I think not…

I don’t think they intended for the seige to be dropped idk

It’s so you don’t make alts and run puzzle like 5 times and move all seige to 1 guy

“Area of effect heals and boons now prioritize players’ minions and NPCs.”
This affects rangers in wvw now our pets take the heals and die just as fast

The 2 most important things I see there for wvw is
1.Area of effect heals and boons now prioritize players’ minions and NPCs.
*edit refer to CC Dalmarus for typo
2.Invisible & invulnerable players can no longer contest capture points in WvW. WvW capture points now follow the same rules as PvP capture points.
About kitten time haha stupid thieves go die

ajm.2931:

My proposed changes:

1) thieves get a new ’Detect stealthed player" ability. long cooldown, works like some of the temp powers tat just leaves a trail or somesuch, tempory map marker. helps with portal bombs and stealthed players. (gives thieves something “thievy” to do)

2) Portals are limited to twice the players going through as the AoE limit. Can be traited to increase, but increased capacity increases casting time. (trating for both AoE limit and Portal capacity)

3) Portals have easily differentiated exit and entrance colors. (you can at a glance tell if it’s an incoming portal or outgoing portal)

4) Mesmers can “traceback” other teams portals, an elite skill that lets a Mesmer switch a portal direction. Effectivly closes the portal for the bomber and lets the opossing team use the portal in he other direction for half the original portals capacity. (I’m less convinced on how to make this work in a balanced way, but welcome comments)

Yay buff thieves, why not give the detect stealth players to the kitteny ranger that needs to track and hunt things?

RoRo.8270:

Is there a way to autoattack so that the first attack keeps attacking and all I have to do is aim? My fingers get tired of smashing the 1st button;/

That’s the cost of a super strong kit and besides you can always bind to different key like side buttons on mouse if you have them

1) Removal of the AoE cap
that would break the game

2) Some sort of limitation to Mesmer portals (working for party members only?)
Good idea but not only party memebers id say a .2 second cooldown to use the portal not 40 people popping up at the same time

3) Golems ability to attack keep walls.
Sure why not

4) Nerf X Class (this applies to all…so just fill the X with the class you hate the most).
No nerfing until they fix culling imo

The thief is not that overpowered without the culling problem
6) No more [orange] sword flags
Not good idea how are you supposed to know if theres x amount of players hitting your base

7) Buff to supply camp guards (+2 levels isn’t a worth upgrade, but making one or two of the guards champions would be much more rewarding and detrimental to rush tactics).

Yeah it needs some buff but it really stands no chance against a big zerg no matter what
8) Faster Yaks
I’d say they are fast enough you can buff it with permaswiftness if you got a party togeth

9) Slower Yaks (really? okay…)
If this is the case make the yaks carry more supply and tougher to kill
10) A reward chest at Keep/Garrison/Stonemist lord kills.
Sure I guess

12) Direction + altitude based ballista (instead of target based)
I’d say ballista is fine it’s not overpowered because theres only certain spots you can put it for the angle to be very effective and those spots can be aoed except for the tower clifftop/cragtop/dawns I hate when they put ballista on hill

13) Per map based bonuses for objectives owned (monetary/gold find only)
Sure why not bring more people to wvw(PvErs)

14) Another jumping puzzle like EB’s.
why? do we really need less people on the battlefield
15) Spike trap upgrades for objective doors.
I don’t see how these would stop people unless they are really that strong

16) Fix/patch against stealth-trolling cap prevention.
culling is the problem not the thief
18) More item skins from the BoH vendors.
Agreed

19) Better power upgrade to superior/omega siege
They have 50% more damage i dont see the need to buff it more

20) Squad UI for commanders (see everyone in the squad on the map, kick people from squad, invite people….like a party)

Sure why not
21) Magic find/gold find boons for squad members and commanders
No thats not a good idea to buff x amount of people and not buff others that can’t join

22) Guild Labels at objectives (though a guild’s banner flies above it, if the NPC’s had some mechanic that said “this keep is owned by ‘X’ guild” so that it’s also a recruiting tool as well).
Meh waste of time to devote devs to do this they need to prioritize better things tbh like problems first rather than adding new things(FoTM)

23) Mobile squad spawn units (A mini Asuran Matter Reposition Relay [A.M.R.R.] able to deploy and destructible, something a commander can set somewhere on the map for 30 minutes, costs 1-5 gold, and allows for everyone in that squad to spawn at that point *assuming not under attack)
this is even worst than portal
This is portal without any range you could move armies with it easy even if it was so expensive

24) Upgrades for road sentries
Read #7

25) Guild Lords (Keeps/Garrisons/Stonemist where a guild can claim would have said guild the ability to spend Influence to upgrade the Lord into a Guild Lord Champion, making them have more HP, hit harder, and overall a harder to take objective).
Good idea I dont see why not but read #22

26) More PvE
Lol?We have problems filling battlegrounds with players because of PvE and adding more pve will add more useless people farming mobs

27) Less PvE
Take out all mobs

28) No PvP in the Stonemist jumping puzzle
Bad idea
jumping puzle allows you free seige
seige is crucial to getting objectives you need a way to prevent people from getting plus its more fun and risky

29) More PvP in the Stonemist jumping puzzle (“Allow me to kill allies with those traps”—)
Kill teamates?That just encourages griefing and trolling

30) Buff X Class (this applies to all…so just fill the X with the class you play)
Read #4

I hope my answers were accurate and agreeable enough please reply

Elmentcius Koronel.6234:

Hi everybody, I don’t post in this forum often enough but I need to ask you all something:

The whole point in getting exotics and legendaries is to get cool skins, right?
If Anet introduced ascended gear, why do you think that the exotics that you acquired become obselete? Can’t you transmute them into your ascended? Isn’t that what legendaries and exotics are for?

If exotics is for looks and ascended is for stats, why can’t you just have the best of both worlds and transmute the two together?

1. Exotics are not obsolete because the new ascended tier is exorbitantly overpriced it cost alot of money for the ectos and t6 mats so not everyone is going to have it
2. Yes you will be able to transmute them
Personally ima ignore ascended items and continue working on my legendary Anet will probably pull another excuse and introduce another tier of gear eventaully

laokoko.7403:

I’m new to the game, and just got to level80. I’m wondering what I should do with the gear I pick up. Specific lvl70+ white, blue, green, yellow, exotic.

Should I salvage, vendor or???

Vendor/tp-White,blue green
Forge/Salvage-rares and exotics

Elviiira.2987:

First time sorry for my english.

And guys, i dont know how u play our rangers, but my ranger is great. I have problem only with 2 characters: mesmer and thief (who dosnt)

U said no dm: my dm with rapid fire – 8+k …. normal hit max range: 2k+
survivel: 2,6k armor … have signet of stone (6 sec immortality), have signet of renewal (all condi down) … zephyr (great burst dm with rapid fire)

i dont play sPvP, i play only WvW

You’re hitting that stuff on 80- glass cannons probably post a video if i’m wong because i’ve never seen my rapid fire hit more than 5k

Serraphin Storm.2369:

obstructed is not just a ranger issue

Yes very true all classes that use a bow have obstuction problems, but who uses the bow for their main damage?

Twelvetables.4675:

Hi Everyone, recently one of my friends challenged me to try to go from level 1-80 on one life. I liked the idea of this so I am going to broadcast it live as I play through the game.

The rules:
-Once you die, you must delete the character and start over.
-Downs are allowed
-No experience may come from crafting.
-You are not allowed to fight enemies more than 4 levels below your level.
-Falling to death is still death.
-Upon death, you am allowed to liquidate the character (this is allowed since I am putting the funds towards a legendary on my main)

Feel Free to watch me attempt (and eventually succeed) this challenge at http://www.twitch.tv/twelvetables

I plan on broadcasting every Saturday. I will also bump this thread/post when I am going live.

Current Status:
Lvl: 8
Attempt: 1 Human Warrior
Broadcasting: Offline

Horrray we get to see you grind PvE from 1-80 without dying fun for me
If you wanted a pick a class that doesn’t die you should of picked guardian and tanky build

We slipped and lost everything in Blackgate BL nonexistent in all Borderlands score update
BG Borderlands is currently owned by SoR so you don’t need to see it
11/24 1pm EST

Warrior too OP already fix the ranger first

Malleus Maleficarum.2603:

Rangers trying to play like warriors are bad. Rangers trying to play like they’re any other class but rangers are bad (need t3h big numberz plox).

Rangers that play like rangers are good. My view of it is that we’re not as good at straight up tanking as other classes. guardians can do that, Necros to an extent, im sure some others- but the difference is rangers can balance excellent survivability with damage, which the other bunker classes can’t even really finish off other players.
THAT is our trademark, along with imo the most offensive condition combinations. Lots of bleeding, burning, poison, chill…while other classes get weakness, and some cripple, and some blind(wow, 1 attack. cool), etc that help them but our conditions are for killing while theirs are more to mess with you. Pets also come into play here, giving you access to things supposed to be specialties for other classes (wolf’s fear, for example) or to supplement what you already do (more chill, more bleeding, more burning).

1. trait for surviability, and traps
2. kill with conditions
3. ???
4. profit

There’s fancier ways of killing, but our simple way of killing you with traps and conditions and…well pretty much just the shortbow work just fine

the problem is that our conditions
the arrows don’t hit hard and conditions are hard to stack because of rolling and obstuctions and bleeds can be so easily cleansed

What happens if I’m trying to rally up a zerg and I get killed as a defenceless Commander?
And secondly, I lead the charge. I’m not a stupid range or cowardly Commander who stands near the back afraid of getting a bit of muck on my shiny armour.
Its not a bloodlust, its just good business.

Oh and on the note of Commanders shouting over each other.
It simply doesn’t happen, PvE Commanders or “noobs with com” generally talkittentle and get ignored compared to the consistent WvW Commanders who everyone knows, loves and trusts.
And every half decent WvW Commander knows all the other Commanders so if you’ve got a problem it usually boils down to your guild.
I mean, if say [OBEY] guild Commander and guildies are leading a zerg then why in hell would I step in there, say as a [LOL] guild Commander, and order them about. No one does that.
And then inside my guild, the [Os] guild, we have a hierarchy anyway. Inwhich I’ll shadow the ranking Commander and reinforce his/her wishes.

Simple. Social. Understanding.

I’m not suggesting like a regular commander with just a flag and buffs
He could be like a juggernaut with lots of health and plenty of knockbacks like the guardian elite or a really loud shout that fears alot of people

As for switching from commander to non commander make the buffs attached the commander himself if he goes down or switchs out buffs go away

The cooldown on a fear skill that would mimic a normal attack skill would be lethal in WvW. And I’m a Guardian anyway, I passively heal my zerg and add might etc as I run about. I couldn’t see the benefits unless they are extreme. I can just picture people now constantly being scattered about by fear and running back and forth.. Snoooooore. Theres not fun in that.
Don’t get me wrong, its a good idea even though I’d dislike it personally. But anything Anet came up with would either ruin WvW because it would be too Overpowered or ruin the Commander rank, to which the Commanders would probably disappear and WvW would descend back into its less organised and boring state.

Well what I would do with this new “commander”
40k hp
not sure about armor/toughness
Maybe special Aura that gives special boons within range
Maybe be able to switch Aura
Red-might few stacks maybe 5?
Blue-healing 15 sec regen
Yellow-Swiftness 10 sec swiftness
Green-Idk not sure
Keep in mind these Auras aren’t going to be game changing miniscule
I’m not sure about these numbers so i’m just throwing them out there
As for the flag

1. Smack with giant flag doesn’t do much dmg but it’s something autoattack
   #2Paint a target like target for everyone to see who to take out/what seige no cooldown
   #3Grant some swiftness for commander idk how much
   #4Loud shout that fears enemies like 3 second fear for like 30 sec cooldown idk
   #5Remove the flag/tag/boons everything he is normal player

Give commander more ultilities such as different color name in chat so it can be easier seen and Priority queue for commander and other stuff

Commander should also be changed so it is earned with like badges of honor or capturing a certain amount of objectives

Commander role should be a risk and honor to hold.

I am just rambling now and that’s why I’m putting up random sentences

If you are willing to take the role you should risk you life

Give commander more tools like maybe a seige pouch just for holding seige

Lastly if your guild knows you and will follow you and you want to fight you can do so without a commander tag. The tag is like a beacon for other people to follow

*note i’m speaking from a suggestion stance so don’t take my words literally
And i very much doubt Anet is going to impletment any of these tools anytime soon because of other issues
————————————————————
Added more stuff
I’d say start with small steps first and add
Different color name for commander in chat so easily seen
Seige pouch for commanders
Priority Queue
And on a side note as a commander you are important and stand out maybe i’ve watched too many movies where you see the commander on a white horse like in civil war with all his men behind him on foot

Setsunayaki.4907:

Hello Predator.

That works if the idea is for players to stay with their commanders. However when I run commander I am more traditional and fundamental in their operation. I do not accept twenty to thirty players as a zerg following me unless its a keep-strike or zone-defense.

There are a lot of things I can say about commanders as suggestions. However, I believe that if I open my mouth, every commander is going to point the finger and say “I am not guilty of X” rather than actually think about what is being said.

I rather help and support those who need and want help.

What I DO want as the commander tag itself is to be able to have four colors:

Red = Assault
Blue = Defense
Green = Cover (Floating) // Support
Yellow = Economy

Have me choose one when I activate the tag to send a message to everyone on what kind of an operation I am running. It would help greatly since it would have people follow the correct commander outside the VOIPs and other chat stuff.

That’s a great idea, but I have yet to see that many commanders on the same server often. I think it’s a great concept, but people get bored if Red commander out there kicking kitten and taking everything most if not all people will be with him while the Yellow,blue, Green commanders will be ignored. If they raised the player cap for amount of players i could see this happening but with the culling and lag I don’t see this happening

Jedahs.2713:

If you are willing to pay 100g to get into WvW quicker, you are hardcore and probably deserve to be in there.

+1

Well don’t you notice less people since the beginning of the game
Plus a free teleport via HoM—> LA saves you a few silver from teleporting to other cities
I would suggest a free teleport system to your home city

Although it’s unlikely to happen, but make commander not be able to fight
They should carry a giant warbanner or something and give them more ultilies such as painting targets and special “buffs” that would give people incentive to stay with their commanders

This makes commanders vulnerable and makes it a risk for them to “command”
The enemy can target the commander to kill their extra buffs
This would also solve the excessive amount of commanders that don’t really command

Extra thoughts: The warbanner can represent your guild
And personally there should be no such thing as a guildless commander
