Guild Wars 2

most likely they will as they are extremely popular items

stof.9341:

Anyway, the problem with FS/LS is probably the extra evade it provides. If they cut down on non evade functionality and reduce the initiative cost to go with it, it’ll just make the evade spam problem worse :/

I agree with the evade uptime being a problem in pvp but in pve it’s a necessity with thieves having such low base hp. Even in low level fractals with 2600 armor 1 auto attack from a mob will hit for half your health DX

LS is really good in certain situations such as the dredge fractal.

knights with zerker trinkets, 0-5-30-30-5 is totally viable

hopefully the unsteady ground buff is good…cuz staff ele needs a lot more love than increasing the radius on geyser. Also conjure weapons are only useful if you like spamming 1 with lightning hammer.

While I completely agree with nerf to pvp, I think this skill should remain as-is in pve. Thieves are already very squishy in pve they don’t need to be nerfed there.

Edit: For those who didnt read J.Sharp’s patch preview, larcenous will steal only 1 boon instead of 2.

Please don’t change the s/d thief in pve. They are already very squishy in pve with such low vit. However I’m totally fine (obv.) with the nerf in pvp where boons are fewer.
Please split larcenous strike for pve and pvp

Waldir.2571:

Joining a party gives more drops only because the amount of damage you have do in order to tag a mob is shared with your party.

More tags = more drops.

This used to be a mechanic in the first few months of the game. This is no longer in the game.

from the preview it looks really good. GJ Anet

In guild wars 1 there were approximately 10 people in the whole game who, after 7 years, managed to max out their /rank title. No one ever maxed out their champion titles. This is the way it should be.
The only thing I partially agree with is cultural armor being locked to higher tiers. That being said, they have repeatedly said they are working on rewards so hopefully that will help to fix this problem.

So I recently saw a wvw thread where they were complaining about no dev response for a while. Previously I saw a pvp thread that was complaining about no dev response in pvp for a whole 8! days!. I won’t link either because I don’t feel they deserve attention.
WHEN WILL DUNGEONS GET A DEV REPLY????
I’m not talking about an appease the masses reply about TA F/U being too hard (lol gimme a break).
I’m talking about the dungeon revamps we were promised 8? months ago. Where are they?
I’m talking about fractals being hard-capped at 50 for the past ?months while we have been allowed to get 25 MORE AR since they were hard-capped. Why is this still in place? WE WERE PROMISED A DUNGEON OF INCREASING DIFFICULTY. THEY THEN HARD-CAPPED IT BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE “PROGRESSING TOO FAST” Q_Q

Omaris Mortuus Est.2738:

Devon or another dev have already replied to a thread where they have admitted that their priorities have been elsewhere, PvE; and that the next WvW (after the 17th little patch) will not be under after December of this year.

If you ask me it’s a disgrace, they are ignoring this part of the community and concentrating on the others.
Many players, even entire guilds have left GW2 because they, like most of us, solely play in WvW.
Our complaints have largely been ignored or removed from the forums under the guise of infractions; but it doesnt change that players are hacking and exploiting even now.
There is also the issue where PvE players only come to WvW to do the JPs as it was an easy way to get badges for their legendaries, and provided no real WvW support, they just took up spots real WvW players need.
And let’s not forget that WvW has a direct influence over PvE via all the boosts it gives. It’s like were the slave labour for PvE players to get richer from our work, and we get peanuts from it! Whilst PvE players are rolling in gold. So I say get rid of those PvE boosts and apply them only to WvW.

I’m usually a PvE player as well, but the PvE in this game just seem rather dull, hence why I WvW. But what can I say, we’re like the black sheep of the family where we only get noticed on Thanksgiving and Xmas, the rest of the year they dont want to hear from us. Which is what the dev post basically said, “We’re working on other things, we’ll get back to you in December.”

please link this response because so far I havnt seen anything like it, in fact, we just had a stream about the wvw map changes hours ago .______.

dungeooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

I ahve my dodge button bound to my mouse #5. Anyone else have problems dodge jumping? Seems I only either dodge, or jump. The odds of me actually getting 2 dodge jumps in a row are zero->none.
P.S. I know how to dodge jump u.u

You guys…honestly…
Go to the dungeons forum and see how fast you get a reply
Less Q.Q moar pewpew

I expect (I hope) that they are waiting until people have a chance to craft a few ascended weapons. When they release the new fractals, I imagine (I hope) they will also raise the cap. Time will tell.

Considering that someone already crafted an ascended weapon 3 days after release:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Im-first-to-craft-ascended-Greatsword
It’s a lot less of a grind than people think. Less QQ more pewpew.

TLDR: Pls anet, make this happen.

Today our guild had a 3v3 deathmatch tournament and it was a blast! Everyone, win or lose, had a tone of fun!

Here was a format:

3v3 on Forest Of Niflhel, fighting on the beach only.
First team to 10 kills wins, 10min games
Respawn time of 5 seconds

Here’s why it was awesome:

There was tonnes of coordination and teamwork, calling out combo fields and res/stomps and calling spikes. Party support was incredibly important as was protecting your allies (linebacking).
Having 3 people on a side means that if someone goes down and the 2 remaining players react instantly, the downed player can be resed before the stomp lands. However if they delay for even a second the stomp gets through, making for some epic plays and timely skill use. This would not be the case in a 2v2.
We saw every meta build and all classes and every party comp had it’s strengths but also weaknesses that could be recognized and exploited by the opposing team.
The short respawn time meant that nobody was out of the fray for two long and the team that just pushed a kill had to make quick decisions to push for another kill or regroup and stabilize.

It was not nearly the cluster kitten a lot of people would expect, perhaps partly due to it being 3v3 and not 4v4 or more. We had games where we didnt even get 10 kills and instead were decided at the 10min mark by 1 or 2 kills. And keep in mind we are all experienced and skilled players rank 30 or higher.

Pretty pretty please, make it happen! <3

The reason ectos have risen is because no one is doing the world events. Everyone is farming the invasions where very few rares drop.

If you swap weapons from an ascended weapon that has infusion to an exotic weapon, will you lose Agony resists?

azurrei.5691:

How about a more detailed TP search function ?

The game has been out for a year… and we still can’t even do something as simple as search or sort by armor type – really now?

Actually you can -sort of-
Just use the name for the armor type in the search field.
eg. a lot of medium armors are _ leather _
so put leather in search field

Guild Halls YES
Party Finder IN WORKS™
Secure Trading NO
Dueling YES, but can be done in any empty hotjoin server or custom arena
Guild Versus Guild YES
New sPvP and tPvP modes YES
Guild Alliances YES

Pretty vague on what the short cut is…If you’re talking about the boost up the cliff at the very end, I think it’s legit. People have been doing that since the beginning.

LordByron.8369:

-raged every “balancing” patch since release

yep…except some of the staff QoL improvements that did basically nothing

Guild Halls, GvG.

Zumy.6318:

this meta stayed for months just because “players wont have time to get used to new builds before PAX”. If they really cant, they dont even belong into PAX.

Can you provide any evidence that there is an

increased rate of new gold being introduced to the economy

? Last i heard they nerfed cof p1. As far as I can see they swapped 1 farm for another. And also for inflation to happen people need to be spending the gold they are earning. Most people farming these events hard enough to even compare to cof p1 are saving up for big items like http://www.gw2spidy.com/item/29169. <-show me the inflation u speak of.

Compared to most games I have played, gw2 actually has a very stable economy, partly because they employ an economist, http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/John_Smith.

Go play Diablo 3 and you’ll see what inflation is.

This is not inflation. Everyone is buying gems to buy the limited time items (eg. everlasting mining pick) that are returning to the gem store. The price increase for gold → gems reflects the increased demand, not inflation.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand
I swear 99% of people who post about inflation in the economy have no idea what inflation means u.u
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflation

I really like the idea of giving players items to pickup in the dredge fractal. At the moment it’s basically “ok, who is willing to take armor damage to get far point so the dredge don’t respawn and kill us all?”

This is because you have set animations to the lowest setting.

This street goes both ways.
We were doing the scarlet events and every single commander (there were 6 of them) were on the same event. We repeatedly asked in map chat “commanders please spread out.” This went on for 45 minutes. We failed the event.
I pm’d one commander who was particularly vocal in the map chat after the fail and said “you know, we asked you guys several times to spread out”
He replied “*&% DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? BLOCKED SCRUB &$^#”
….

People die from boulders while in cutscene because it replays every minute or so unless all 5 players have reached the bottom. Frustrating and pointless.

Yeah I was really confused about this too. Can’t you just get all that information on the full map instead? So now you have to open the full map in the middle of play to figure out what your teammates are doing, ruining the immersion and potentially getting yourself killed?>

There are now 4 completely useless cutscenes before you even fight the miniboss. Why? you can’t even skip them U.U. Why were these added?

One of the things that made gw1 PvP so awesome was buildcrafting counter-metas. Give teams access to aoe condi cleanse by bringing non-meta classes such as mesmer or ele. Mesmer has really nice access to aoe condi cleanse with shatters but they have to invest 30 points into an otherwise useless tree for pvp. Ele’s have access to aoe condi cleanse but the range is so small you basically have to stand next to someone to remove condis, which puts you directly in the line of fire. Moving the shatter cleanse trait to a different tree or moving it down to master would make this move viable. With ele, increasing the aoe of cleansing wave or the water evasive arcana would be very effective as well.

I have yet to get a title in gw2 that would make me even consider changing from “Champion of the Gods” title i got from gw1
Maybe a high rank pvp title if I ever get, or maybe yakslapper. Idk.

Deadeye on my ele.
Conjure lightning hammer.
Autoattack until it dies

You can disable the light flashes by setting post-processing to “none”
Thanks dulfy.net!

One-shot mechanics are difficult and meant to be so, but they are all avoidable. Take platformers like Boshy or IWTBTG. These are some of the most difficult games ever created, partly because you can’t ever get hit. There was no dodge button. I see no problem giving bosses in gw2 one-shot mechanics.

So I’ve been trying to get the achievement for 5 active gambits on a tier 3 boss. I was trying to do subject 7 with the extra boss, everything except the exhausted gambit and I was doing alright but didn’t deal enough damage to subject 7 to beat the time limit. Anyone who’s gotten this achievement make suggestions for which boss to choose and which gambits to activate? Thanks

MithranArkanere.8957:

What? They cost tickets?

You pay to make the encounters harder? What gives? Do they even warn in the texts? I can’t remember what they say.

No they do not. I only noticed because my tickets were disappearing so fast u.u

I’m not really sure why this is the thing. Trying to get the achievement for 5 active gambits on the tier 3 gauntlet you are spending 6 tickets per encounter. I am burning through tickets like there is no tomorrow. Why does making it more difficult cost more to play?

Honestly it should. The time vs. reward is so far off…

Hmm that’s a good point…oversight by anet?

Well…
It’s a double oversight on anet’s part:
1) Everyone who spent all their tokens to cast votes get jack kitten.
2) Everyone who though they were worthless and wasn’t told otherwise, and therefore deleted them, gets jack kitten.

Another method for obtaining fractal weapon skins would be greatly appreciated. As well as a nice gold bag at the end like all other dungeons are getting. These two things would make fractals much more rewarding for the time spent.

MawOfMadness.5724:

They really need to make your fractal level account wide. I have 8 80s, and it would be nice to be able to switch which class I do it on every once in a while, or switch to a particular class to help my group.

This will never happen, just like wvw rank will never be account wide

You obviously didn’t play gw1. For the first four years of the game all I did was run dungeons for people and made a killing doing it lol.

For the first time in months warriors have a good (not OP) spec for sPvP and roaming and people cry nerf lol.
A few things I want to mention:
1) You talk about bringing stunbreaks and how when you run out you die. Stunbreaks are only supposed to be used when you run out of dodges or mistime your dodge. If you’re 100% relying on this to avoid damage, you’re doing it wrong.
2) s/d – sb thief is actually a really good counter to the m/sh warrior. With the amount of evades you have and teleport on the weapon set, you really shouldn’t be getting hit by skullcrack. Like ever. My guess is you’re running in with 3 and immediately going for the LS. Warriors know this move and they know to hit their stuns right after the evade frames. Instead of spamming 3, use the evade, then dodge when you see the skullcrack or shield 4 animation. Both of these have very obvious tells. Then hit them with lacernous strike. Or even better use 3 instead of dodge to evade the stuns so you can immediately use LS.

Would certainly be interesting…especially since guard duty sucks donkey donk

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…oh god i wish they would do this in gw2 just for a day.

I vote we all agree to move our zergs in a clockwise direction so that nobody actual fights each other and we just farm keeps/champs for the wxp and loots.
