Guild Wars 2

Tnx for finally giving us some answers atleast even if its far from solved. Imho this could have bin handled much better and you (Anet) really should look into your support team. I dont know if u out-source it but 17page-post isnt exactly common so you should have handled this better and sooner.

Still tnx for info & Merry Xmas

I wish for a fix

16 pages and we have got “try clientport433” seriously Anet what are you doing ? Do you even have a Support Team or is it you just dont care when those monthly fees arent needed ? kittening Shame

no sub fee = no support

8pm in Sweden and what happens ? all my skills start blinking away and 1minute later I crash and now I cant Login. Anet you failing your customers and I cant help but think if we were paying a sub fee u had fixed this issue by now….

You are loosing players for future game projects by not adressing this faster and better, 1 post about a Port in 15 pages just aint enough customer support. NOT EVEN CLOSE

What Splatticus says, and why Anet hasnt fixed this issue is beyond me.

Primetime and yet again, same as past 2 months.

Well back into SwTor, dosent have WvW but game works atleast

nah does nothing for me, when I crash after massive lag-spikes I cant login again for about an hour. this “fix” solved nothing for me.

Iv lost all faith in Anet now, they sinking there own kitten by NOT responding to us, giving us some updates… anything. every PvE patch kittenes me off more cause they giving out new stuff yet they cant solve this lag/crashes for the past month

5 crashes tonight again… still NOT a single kittening word from Anet.. just re-installed swTor never tought Id do that.

Iv played with u since Beta and this is the worst Support ever from you Anet, several pages and no new info or update for shame, this afflicts a large portion of the European Community get ppl on it asap.

Location: Sweden
server: Piken
Issue: lag-spikes massive , every evening followed by crashes, followed by unable to login….

play from Sweden and this bin going on ever since u started up Living Story again, constant Lag-Spikes, Crashes in WvW,sPvP then you cant login for 20-30min.

Shouldnt this be your MAIN priority NOT more PvE content ?

´constant crashes followed by not being able to login, going on now for 3 weeks (ever since lv.story started) fix you kittening game NOW Anet instead of putting out this pve stuff

Lopez.7369:

We don’t need more mobility.

Best joke of 2014 didnt come until December, gotta to love this

Nanyetah Elohi.4852:

you need strong guilds and guild leaders.

game really doesn’t work well without some strong leaders.

Don’t ask anet to run your guild.

do your own work.

were in my text did I ask Anet to run my Guild ? seriously

For all us that hold your game alive with the only gamestyle that other Games lack: WvW when can we see some love ? EotM was given to PvE, lots are given to sPvP. Season for WvW isnt really anything new or remotly intresting, som new Maps, WvW based things only, better rewards or rewards that come close to matching PvE rewards stuff like that ?

Points of Intrest for PvE
Ready Up for sPvP
Tournaments for sPvP Hosted (the esport that never was & will never be)

Were is our Show ?

ps: sad thing about posteing thi under WvW Discussion is chances is no Anet Dev will ever see it

yea the headline says it all, this issue has bin ongoing for 3days now and basicly all my friends are affected. Reddit posted it yet we hear NOTHING from you about it and what u do to fix this issue. It locks our abilitys, crashed us and then after we cant login for hours..

truly kittened

You also need the recipe for each individual weapon or armor piece u want to craft, so u need to buy them aswell. Think this is waht u looking fro, was so for me atleast.

didnt they say this was comming in the Halloween Patch ? or did I miss somthing, cause i know they said its NOT a balance patch or feature patch just some minor balance changes to the classes.

so when is this actually comming ?

same as last time, same as always, same as I first saw the Necro in Closed Beta: a WORKING LIFE SIPHON

worst mobility

This is actually true very close with Guardian but he has 2 Movements tied to his Weapon GS#3 and S#2 wich makes him slighlty more mobile

worst support

Well as stated above we arent a support class, and yes we are worst at this aswell (Life Transfution, Regen Buff, Plague Signet are exceptions)

worst survivability

Not even close to truth when it comes to Health Pool and DS we can survive several burst but since mobility = survival then we fall further down the ladder then we should have, a attrition class we are NOT, and since everyone knows necro is lacking mobility we usually are first target.

worst damage

Here is were u started to smoke the mushrooms m8, cause when it comes to dmg we are imho #1 in AoE dmg overall and #1 in Condition dmg tho we lack Single target DD -dmg of classes like Warrior,Thief and say Mesmer Id still say damage is Necros strong point.

3rd best boon removal

wich class does it better ? We are the masters of Corruption, and yes u need to be Condi Specced to get the most out of it I just cant see what u ment by 3rd here tbh.

I like the idea of 2-0-6-0-6 but I dont agree with the Signets cause SoS you mostly use just to Boost your power and thats wrong. If u use it as Active u loose that Power and u arent specced for shorter CD on Signet, also its far superior in a Condi Build. Plague Signet is pure Condi skill imho.

Tho to answer above: 6-2-0-0-6 Full dmg build is still good in Small-Scale or Solo roaming unless u encounter a good Condi player cause no matter what u say you do or have killed u still loose 8/10 of those fights.

Condi pressure > 6-2-0-0-6 anytime, anyday… just the way it is

As I posted in youtube you will mostly likely be wrecked by a good Condi Build, its basicly a race to finish the enemy and all the Pressure lies on you.

the Devs always play and display the least played Class now it was a Necro, afew weeks ago it was the Ranger and before that the Engi..

Hint: can anyone even recall the last time the Devs played a Warrior ?

Necro are good in Zerg WvW, no other part of WvW tbh. And we are sub-par in the rest of the game aspects, find it abit wierd when old-time necs are this disillusioned about there own class.

The best tip I can give any Necro to close the “1500-Gap” to a LB ranger si useing Spectral Walk in reverse. By that ofc meen when he attacks use Sp.Walk and make him folllow you then port back, then close the gap with Dark Path and he panics cause no LB Ranger is built to stay close on target.

Even with new boost to LB dmg up close, being on him is the key and “reverse Sp.Walk” is what usually works best.

Life Siphon ? didnt know it was in the game, are u sure it is ? or is just a mirage… a whisper in the night like attrition or minion AI

as I clearly said, I will now say again for above persons: Condi necro isnt in a bad state, its top3 Condi but it isnt as good as PD Thief. What the problem is that Power Necro in smallscale, solo, or even to some degree in sPvP is a sitting duck… no1 fears what cant get away, he is always first target in any PvP situation for just that reason, if u dont agree u either lying or never played one…

The diffrence is Warrior needed a Nerf and necro Condi is still pretty good, Necro power is horrible atm and has bin for a while. “mesmer got hit hard”… you must be jokeing.

on Power side Nec & Engi are behind, far behind even. On condi side alot of classes except maybe Guard is viable atm, some better some worse with Thief in top. Anet desided a year back to make Condi imho to powerful.

in sPvP Power and Condi is both seen alot
in WvW Condi dominates 1v1 or smallscale, Power still dominates Zerg

and in PvE… well idc

sPvP necro is about the same Id say maybe some say Power Got boosted, I dont think so Cleave yes, Axe nah Its still a pathetic weapon that only hits bad players imho. Condi nec still have its place.

In WvW Zerg Wellomance still dominates AoE – but meh not for me

In WvW/PvP/Roam were I spend 805 of my time Condi Nec totally dominates Power Necs and still do after this patch, I will still run Power just out of spite and utter disgust of Condi in this game but fact is fact.

PvE – never do it

I think the main issue ppl are disbanding and giving up on the Necro isnt the nerfs or lack of things we wish for, its this time around other classes that were on par with us pulled away… and a class that were behind us passed us. We kinda atm is the kid picked last for the team in school.

Stuff witch still have big issues are:

DS
Life Siphon/Life Steal
Attrition ? Anet plz explain once and for all
Movement

Iam sticking around until till CU Alpha but tbh then Iam gone aswell

Tbh I actually think Rangers after being the punching-bag for 2y deserve some time in the spotlight (it so reminds me on the Shadow Warrior from Warhammer Online) always being the underdog, never being seen as much of a threat…

What I just wish is that we Necs could get out time on top, we had it for a short period during a special time called “beta”…. ooh how I wish those glory days would come again.

Dont get me wrong Condi necs are still pretty strong despite some classes closeing that gap aswell or even passing us (pd hint hint)but Power Nec is well…hard to hold onto.

ps: Btw Anet Unholy Sanctuary gave me 3-4sec of DS when I exited I died to a AA from Skritt NPC, love that attrition class we become, tnx.

Mayama.1854:

Sounds like a pure PvP sigil, nobody would use it in PvE and in WvW theirs enough condi clean already so its not needed.

for roamers its pure OP in WvW, there is more then skill-less Zerg in WvW

WvW: next

sry but this is why I cant

I agree with you it is, but despite that Axe is a failing Weapon and a blind man could see Ghastly Claws comming so dmg buff wont me a thing to as Skill that wont hit the target.

I roam Solo like 80% of ingame time and Str Runes are far superior, I run with Sp.Walk tho whatever build I use, best juke skill ingame… dont leave home without it.

Most Power necros will NOT take a Warrior even with full Life Fiorce bar, thats how big the diffrence is between the 2 classes on Power Builds, and on Condi Necs u dont have to worrie about DS-Sustain or Dmg. And if the Warrior is against all odds loosing you just see that wich we learned is the most common thing in WvW these days: the disengage or Forrest Gump-Warrior….

The nr1 Class complaining always baffles me

Strenght Runes with Reapers Might, no Substitute…. u loose to much on Trav-Runes for Speed imho and Sp.Walk gives u speed. Whatever u do DONT use Sig of locust dead noob-giveaway

If you use big AoE like meteor shower on a Zerg well then u could insta die to a ret-spike, but it makes u careful not much more… if u talk 1v1 situation then NO it never scares me.

Confusion and Burn makes me go for cleanse faster… Terror/Fear u need to stun-break..

so ret-scare: NO

NO

A real Guild with ok WvW players would regroup,enpower, and run over these guys in 3sec… Why this worked and Iv done it myself with a few friends is because EotM is filled with lowlvls, skillless, karma-farming PvE players in a Map design for PvE/PPT…

Just proves that Anet failed to expand WvW and no real WvW Guilds use it other then to refill badges,karma and lvl-up Chars

" Some classes just have an easier time surviving outnumbered encounters."

But Anet told us we were the Attrition-Class that we would get more Survival tools… how can this be then ? I bet if we told Anet they fix us right ? They listen to us Necros wont they ? cause we are the “Attrition-Class”

Iam at this very point in time asking Anet to give me an direct answer: Show me proof that even 1% of all Necros use and run with this Signet as there main source of Heal ?

Its absolute crap now, it will be absolute crap after Sep 9th and worst of all Anet u looked at this and ALL Life Siphon in-game and said “yea 1sec more uptime that will do the trick” thats a disgrace, shape the f-up

Í like the new staff ability alot tho… when u press #5 instead of AoE Fear we now get a PoP-up Msg that says “kittend by Anet” on the screen

On a side note, there has actually been a fair amount of necros in the EU To finals, and even though I just tuned into the NA one today, a team that will either place 1st or 2nd has a condition necro in it. In EU it was mostly condition too, but I remember seeing one power necro that liched their team to 3rd.. so while necros are niche in pvp it doesn’t seem as depressing as most people om here say. I haven’t seen ANY rangers in the Top matches I watched, even though I remember one team was going to bring one.

Outplayed currently has a necro in the finals of NA, not sure the spec though, the shoutcasters don’t spend a lot of time on him.

He was Condi, that much I could tell

Gonna take more then animations tuneing to swap out my lovely Dagger for the inferior Axe

Dont ask for more mobility we aint getting it, we have Spectral Walk, Wurm, Locust Signet, Quickening Thirst (wich I wouldnt use if u payed me) but we aint getting more thats made perfectly clear by Anet.

They want the Necro to stay and fight, to win by “attrition” (a word tnx to Anet I learned to despise)they want us to soak up damage like spunge and the tools we have bin given for this purpose is: Condi pressure, Life Siphon, Deathshroud and highest health-pool.

Condi Pressure well I can say I dont loose to any other Condi-Specced proffesion 1v1 when Terror-specced but attrition it isnt. Deathshroud I do love and is the main reason I play Necro but it synergys better with power then Condi imho and its still much more a offensive tool then a defensive attrition-tool… mainly cause the “new” XIII-traits is utter crap.

Life Siphon here is were they need to Focus imo, they need to bring this upto par with Warriors Healing Signet and Eles Signet of Restoration/Water attunement. Make it viable, here is were we Necs can get a taste of Anet’s “attrition”….

and plz dont put Life Siphon traits in 3 diffrent traitlines

yea hope your right, a Nerf to Power necs isnt what we need now.

On a positive note, Thieves got cleeve on D AA so heres hopeing we get cleeve

hahahahah optimism for necro buffs
that’s funny.

ofc I still got hope why else would I still be on nec after 4000 hours, could breezed away on Warrior months ago.

If power-specs get a buff, oh I’ll fart rainbows in all honesty. A well played power necro is already incredibly dangerous when coupled with an ample supply life force generation skills.

I cant stop laughing at this crap, compared to a Condi necro (i assume its for any kind of PvP) Power is xtremly weak atm. I play Power as much as I can & it lacks in every regard to a Good Condi Build.

When I roam solo as I do alot, if ppl see me wearing Pizza Consumable they hesitate, the saee me wearing Power Food they charge in like there no tomorrow. This is a Nec Fact, we are Corruption Masters and nothing else.

On note I hope Axe gets buffed, maybe a cleave. Maybe something new for Warhorn and that they plz dont nerf our Life Force.

I think they give us a cleave on Axe AA now tbh, its our weakest weapon & Nec is one of those classes most ppl think should get attention. (Ranger ofc topping)

If there is a OOC Life Force loss then Power Necro is no more ,not counting the mindless Zerg Wellomancer

yea hope your right, a Nerf to Power necs isnt what we need now.

On a positive note, Thieves got cleeve on D AA so heres hopeing we get cleeve

From rdy up yesterday Warriors Adrenaline is lost if they miss there F1 and also seems they loose it after getting out of Combat, decay.

Is this something we can expect as necros regarding Life Force aswell in the comming patch ? If so its really really bad, getting jumped a Thief then is gonna be brutal, as a Power necro I never leve my LF-Bar empty between fights. Getting worried
