Guild Wars 2

I think it’s awesome on my hammer, staff and greatsword.
But yeah, it seems to ruin some offhands.

The passive heal and condition removal on guardian would be nice to have.

Yes, deleted my old lv80 elementalist because it was an asura.

I just have to say I love this whole Final Rest thing. It’s just awesome. I hope there are more items like this, or will be in the future.
Unfortunately I am too lazy to try to get it. But it sure is fun to follow the progress.
A huge +1 from me to all the players who are trying to get it or in some way helping!

For people comparing it to korean grind game or saying it’s not worth it. This is a completely optional thing. You’re not exactly required to grind every day until you get this item.
I’d say having a Final Rest would give you much bigger ep than having a legendary though. Even though the most legendaries (imo) look much better than FR.

If I wanted to change race, I would.

Edit: I think heard somewhere that you never will be able to change race. Because of personal story etc.

I’d love to have all elixirs in one kit Wouldn’t be overpowered at all!

I want to use my quaggan backpack while I’m using my kits!

Yes. It is viable.

A gm told me that they’re not actually hacking anything. They’re using bots that allow them to teleport etc.
So botting is correct.

Yes it is. At the moment.
We’ll see after the patch though.

But for now, the toolkit spell alone almost makes it worth using it.

Humans are cute

Toroquin.3605:

Norn, no doubt.
The picture speaks for itself.

And that is one awesome picture! +1 to you.

Dante.1508:

Similar issues with Ranger bows “a flower garden” or “my little pony bow”, what a choice…

I think you lucked out with at least an “ok” rifle..

Both flower and pony sounds awesome to me! You guys are the lucky ones. But rangers can also use some more weapons, as OP said, engineer can not.

There’s a fine difference between having to grind and being able to grind.

I’m just excited. Maybe we get a few new exciting specs to try out.

plasmacutter.2709:

If I buy an SUV from BMW, they don’t come by every month at midnight and strip out things like cargo space, suspension, etc, until I have a sub-compact.

Can I still “adapt” to a sub-compact? Yes. But that’s NOT what I bought.

Adjustments should not force people out of specific builds. If they would, then the answer is to buff the people who lose against them.

Not sure what you mean but you can’t compare an mmorpg to a car.

Yes please.
I don’t understand why they didn’t include knight set in ascended gear.

I fail to see why so many people think engineer is underpowered.

klesk.1790:

to add more…lets say 1 ascended gear players hits you…you get hit +5%more damage then the exotic gear player… not much? if you get hit by 5 ascended gear players wat happens now? you get hit total 25% more damage~ a huge huge difference

Frist of all, you wouldn’t take 5% more damage.
And lets say you now would take 5% damage, if 5 players hit you it wouldn’t be 25% more damage. It would still be 5% more damage than you would take in normal case.

I understand you, it’s very easy to just think it works that way but it really doesn’t.
I can show you how it works.

If a player would deal 1000dmg on you with exotics and then 5% more with ascended, that would be 1050 damage.
So if five people attacked you it would be 1050×5=5250 instead of 1000×5=5000.
And 5250 is 5% more than 5000. And not 25% more.

But in reality it would most likely be 1-2% increase, unless they boost ascended gear.

klesk.1790:

What will happen next? Their will be Party Groups saying “Only Full Ascended gear only~!” Is this wat the majority gw2 users wants? i don’t think so…

I doubt they would say so.
They might possibly say “Only 25+ Agony Resist”. If they are going to some dungeon with high agony damage.
But if it’ll be like fotm, we will be able to do it with low agony and probably without it too!

Of course not. I know for certain other people who didn’t play gw1 but still dislike guild wars 2. It would just be silly to think that only gw1 players can find gw2 boring.

I’m also pretty sure a lot of old gw1 players like gw2. I don’t know any myself but I do see a lot of people with hom titles and some other ones from gw1.
So I assume they played gw1 and enjoy playing gw2. The risk of the account being bought exists though.

Arnath.2319:

I am really sick an tired of ArenaNet permanently banning players for there own mistakes. Its childish, pathetic and unprofessional.

They are actually banning players who exploit their mistakes. Nothing wrong with that.

Sounds like people were taking advantage of an unintended game mechanic. That actually makes it an exploit imo.

But I still think that perm ban was a bit harsh for this, at least if the person didn’t gain insane amount of gold.

Could anyone care to explain what the exploit was about?
Im with very slow net atm so lurking around doesn’t work very well unfortunately.
But correct me if I’m wrong but the exploit was that people salvaged some event trinkets?

If the case is that, I agree that perm ban could be a bit harsh.

Guys, calm down!
There’s no need for insults or flaming.
Let’s just keep it nice and enjoy the game.

Now that looks pretty awesome!

Koops.6097:

Nice try but no we still haven’t Canadians on VS. Maybe one day your dream will be true but not for now.
Is it so embarassing to be beaten by french (and Belgium and Swiss) people that you have to find some sort of excuses and make up some storys about Canadians ?

Well.. This screenshot was taken 04:08 gmt+1 this night/morning.
http://i.imgur.com/6Z0OH.jpg
Maybe not canadians. But you sure got a lot of players and get a lot of points during the night.

Qwixx.5923:

Minfast.5489:

VS deserve the most respect as a server. They have maintained their T1 status from week 1 and continue to push for T1 victories. Their achievements far outweigh yours.

and this without any external assistance by US/RU players.
:>

But… Canadian players.

I’m kinda having the same issue.
I used to farm plinx, it was quite nice with lot of nice people around. But then they nerfed it and I don’t really know where to farm ever since.

I didn’t find a single good spot for event farming, except roaming in cursed shore.
Normal grind-farm is boring and gets lonely imo. But when I take my time to farm, I usually try to farm trolls/grawls in frostgorge.

I use rifle in pve because legendary rifle > legendary pistol

The #2 spell is nice on bosses for cc. Also if you want to hit a few skillshots, like grenades.

The #5 spell is good for mobility, if any of your allies are downed, you can jump to them and start ressing.

.#4 is a nice cc spell. You can also use it to escape, almost like a dodge roll.

.#3 deals a lot of damage at close range.

I don’t really know the ranged spell for a warrior for example. But I think the engineer spells are pretty good. Not just for dps but overall. Especially if you combo them somehow.

You can for example net the boss with #2. Jump in with #5. Then use #3 for that burst damage and finally #4 to gain distance again.

You don’t know what p2w is if you think gw2 is even a little bit p2w.
I suggest you to try some of the normal f2p games, then you will see what p2w is.

My last mmo for example. If you spent a few hundreds euro on the game, you could get around +100% damage done and -50% damge taken. Not to talk about all other extra (expensive stuff). Like extra talent points, stat points etc.

I also hate to burst your bubble about subscription games.
You can also buy gold in most of them, including wow. I don’t really see how it’s any different from here.

Legendary weapons aren’t exactly “pay2win” either. They just give a visual effect. Sure, you could get legendary weapon and full exotic within 5min if you spent a lot of money. But where’s the fun in that?
Some people probably prefer that and it’s just nice that they can have it as they want it.

You could try to just enjoy the game and have fun.

Sorry but I have to borrow this topic and ask another question about legendaries that is similar.
If you change sigil in them, will they lose their effects? I think I heard someone mention that.

plasmacutter.2709:

The sad thing is the “nerf” to engineers was a massive buff.

If they switch kits with the might sigil they can stack it sky-high like D/D eles and get all the damage back and MORE.

I saw the patch notes to eng and said “my god that’s a huge buff”

I agree with you.
But I’m still not 100% sure. I want to find out exactly how some sigils work with grenades and other kits.

For example if every grenade got a 60% chance on critical hit to apply bleed. Or if just one of them have the chance. I know it got a 2 second cooldown but that isn’t relevant.
If the case is this, a condi engineer would get a huge boost with grenade kit.

Oxstar.7643:

Explain to me why we have no PTS server.
Explain to me why there’s no “Class update” sticky on the class boards.
Explain to me why they nerfed Engineer so much when it was always a class struggling to keep up with the rest.
Explain to me why Mike Obrien says that ANet does not make grindy games and we are all grinding Fotm for money anyways.
Explain to me why the PvE content that was said to be “Dynamic and innovative” is underpopulated in so many places?

The list goes on and on, all of this, serious issues that ANet have failed to fix.
That’s why I feel like they don’t listen.

1. Idk why we don’t have a pts server. I don’t really see why it’s needed.

2. I also don’t see why this is needed? We got patch notes, if you want to find out what changes, go read it there.

3. I must be blind or something. I’ve played my engineer for over 300hrs. I can’t tell it is anything wrong with it.
Maybe the -30% damage on grenades was a bit too much, but if it was, they’ll most likely buff them again in the future.

4. You don’t really have to grind fotm. If you also want to be “competitive” or something, not fall behind etc.. You just have to do it once every day for daily. That doesn’t take very long.
Besides, now you’ll get both the rings you want within max 20 daily fotm. Sooner if you’re lucky and get the ring you want.

5. How often do you run to lv 10-30 zones just to do some nice events? I know I prefer to farm high level events or to do other stuff.
But tbh, I don’t really understand the question. It doesn’t make much sense imo.

Keep in mind that ANet always is open for suggestions. Post a suggestion <a href="https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions">here</a> and they will see it.

Why doesn’t anyone make a list of all the issues/complaints that they did fix.
Ascended rings for example.

It feels like people just whine and whine and whine.
I wish more people could be grateful.

bubusx.9742:

…
I hope this answer was enough to explain my previous post.

Yes. That was much better. Thank you!

Tekyn.5376:

Pukknub.7368:

If not, we’ll still be able to get some nice bonuses from few sigils, like weapon swap ones.

Unless they changed this and did not announce it a kit does not count as a weapon swap.

Source: http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/10ilke/how_sigils_work/

That was two months ago. The change that made sigils affect weapon kit came yesterday I believe. :O
Elementalists attunements count as weapon switch, so our kits should too now. Imo.

My question was kind of if every grenade got a chance to apply it. Like when you use earth sigil in dual pistols.
Then it is 2×60% chance to apply bleeding if im not mistaken. But can’t get double proc because of the cooldown.

My point is that if every grenade got a chance to apply bleed, we’ll most likely get it to proc very often. I.E. Lot of bleed stacks from our spammable grenade attack.

That’s also a boost for me, as I decided to go for rabid ascended gear since knight doesn’t exist.
The flame aoe burst also hit for quite a lot iirc. Downside is its long cooldown.

What? I think you should say the reasons why you feel this way.
Not just “omgz0r this class sobad”

I find engineer amazing.

It says 5sec cd on fire/air iirc. Doesn’t say anything about cd on earth though.

Heya!

As you probably know, grenades damage got reduced by 30%. But sigils now work with them.
I wonder now if it is a good or a bad change.

Superior sigil of earth, how does it work with grenades now?
Does it give a 60% chance on critical do apply bleed on every grenade?
Same with fire, is it chance for aoe flame burst on every grenade?
If the case is so, then the change is probably a dps boost.

If not, we’ll still be able to get some nice bonuses from few sigils, like weapon swap ones.

They shouldn’t have swapped spots on the two downed spells. They should’ve added an interrupt from the root spell instead. Imho.

It is wonderful that it doesn’t matter much if we play 4h/ week or 40h / week.
As Dinny also said, we can be gone from the game for 2 weeks and then just play and still not fall behind.

I love the feeling when I don’t “have to” farm x dungeons / week for example. You can call it addiction if you want but that’s what it takes to be competitive in most mmorpgs. Here we can just play when we want, how much we want and still be on the top.

Blackwolfe.5649:

To keep it short: I like to do what I want, when I want it, in any way I want to, in my own pace.

I kind of agree with this guy.

Sometimes I want to rush with some hearts, sometimes I semi-afk while I am leveling etc.
I almost always help if someone asks though.

Hmm.. I do know reset changed with one hour for me because of dst but one day sounds weird. :o

Yes, I would. It’s an incredibly great game. Cheap too compared to some other games that can keep you entertained for so many hours.

Ryuujin.8236:

C’mon you think any of this even makes the list?

How about Allods online, which at launch was pay-per-death (seriously, each time you died you need a cash shop item to remove the penalty and/or prevent it)

I’ve unfortunately almost wasted 3 years in Allods and I have to say that isn’t true. FoD was removable with gold.

We could get PoP’s to prevent item curse at death for free with some instant daily quest. At least on eu server. They also got completely free in item shop just a short while after, a little bit later item curse at death got removed too.

It’s a very crappy game though (in my opinion). But not as crappy as people make it sound.

jamasont.4653:

GW2: 1. Adding a gear treadmill.
2. No open world PvP and it’s very gear dependent. I hate getting steamrolled just cause x players got better gear.

Umm. Wvw is very similar to open world pvp. As some people already said, it would just ruin the gameplay for other people if we could pk in the pve world.
That would also possibly make wvw more empty. People at losing servers would probably simply give up.

I was worried about no open world pvp when I heard about gw2 but it turned out great imo.

PvP might be a bit gear dependent but you also forgot that we can get the best gear incredibly easy. Ascended will most likely be easier to obtain in the future. It is also confirmed 100% that we will be able to get ascended gear from other sources than just doing pve dungeons. Wvw for example.

The difference between exotics and ascended gear isn’t huge at all.
I’m also sorry to say this, if someone totally steamroll you 1v1, it isn’t because of the gear. As some other people also said, you wont most likely see completely even numbers in wvw. So gear doesn’t really matter much there.

GummiBear.2756:

ofc stats will affect it, assuming a 20vs20zerg with ppl of equal skill and same amount of classes, but one zerg er purely exotic, the other is purely ascnded, geuss who will win…?

Yes. That wont happen in wvw though. If it did happen, luck would decide who won.

Whole my group got kicked out just after we finished our third fractal at level 16. The “host” crashed and when he logged back in we all got kicked out..

It gets pretty easy when you learn where all the jump spots are. The mossman might pop up and kitten you though :-!

Well. This is even more stupid.

Best way would probably be to transfer to some server who got almost 100% of the map.
You can check here(http://mos.millenium.org/matchups) and look for servers with a lot of points. You wont be able to transfer back within 7 days though.
