Guild Wars 2

Rising Dusk.2408:

Care to post a video or screenshot? Feel free to PM them to me too.

Here. It’s kinda old, but still was made after “fix” of UW. It’s kinda too long btw, so I don’t think it gonna be popular, because killing is way too slow with his inflated HP pool. Few new ground spots are already emerging.
Also, I guess Anet can try to do something useful and remove root of problem instead of fighting windmills.
Just nerf 67 and 77 Mossman HP to old f50 level and bam, suddenly people will be fighting him as intended instead searching for new spots to avoid “fun” fight.
Oh, and leave personal non-nerfed version for Lendruil, seems like he enjoys fighting HP sponges.

Underwater still works btw :^)

Well, time to wait a few days until new slack spot is found.

Lendruil.9061:

Per reward chest there should be at least 2 recommended fractals that have to be completed, better 3 imo. Running 2 times swamp and one recommended daily is still a bad system.
And why are actually only 3 fractals required for completion? It used to be 4.

You know that forcing everyone doing more job for same reward is a bad idea, right?

Copy system from last Queen Gauntlet – remove enrage timer and introduce gold-silver-bronze reward timer instead, with less % drops for each tier lower.
Bam, raids fixed.

Locuz.2651:

GWs pop is dropping. BnS came out which is doing well. Ppl are moving on.

Yeah, just like Arch Age and Black Desert before it.
Hint – horrible p2w games with horrible asian anime characters cannot replace western games on western market. Never.

Quarktastic.1027:

Scale 77 mossman downs my full zerk druid in 2 autos, through protection. Wet noodle it is not.

I guess he thinking that everyone have permaprot+superior fractal defense potion.

Vinceman.4572:

Which reward nerf? Please explain yourself and explain it with facts!

~1 box per month is enough facts?

DeWolfe.2174:

It’s not the worst, it’s just not the cheesiest in Conquest. That right there makes a HUGE difference. Rifle/GS DPS potential is pretty extreme atm.

That’s why there was ZERO warriors in all last NA and EU tournaments, right? Those silly people just not realized yet how OP Gun Flame is.

So you somehow managed to lose against worst pvp class atm and asking for nerfs? Gj.

So, this thread is about… “how dare people skipping super fun fight against champion with gazillion HP, three (or one, if you don’t count AA and passive fire shield) super challenging abilities and no loot”?

Jahroots.6791:

Yeah, this one is silly to me as well. You save a few secs on a legitimately easy fight (since almost no one runs this past level 40 anyway) and miss out on drops.

Except you not getting any drops after first fractal because chest spawns only once.

mazut.4296:

It can take forever to find people welling to do other, mostly people who still dont have that levels for the achievements. The same people will not join the next time. SO your suggestion is not viable. The pole need to go.

So people are not willing to play like you want them to play and you think that your opinion > their opinion?

Because its fast and convenient. Don’t want to do it? Make your own group.

So, is that situation is deemed normal and players are allowed to exploit system to get multiple rewards?

At least for someone. Great competition, fair games, honest players, everything is right here.

ZeftheWicked.3076:

We all know the story – ruby is where it gets hard and everyone’s on the edge. But when i get blamed by my teammate for playing non-meta class (necro) that’s when line gets crossed.

So to all “meta whiners” (and those who don’t like it that their teammates “suck”):

If you didn’t go through effort of making your own premade team that has the professions you want manned by ppl you like, don’t go whining about what you get in solo queque.

The End.

No problem bro, just give back soloQ and everybody will be happy to leave awesome you in your awesome teamQ with your awesome teammates and awesome 1h+ queue time.

Samnang.1879:

Wait, Fractals are end game??? Didn’t realize this…

Yes. Its end-game 5-man PvE content. Not everyone miss WoW hard enough to waste their time in lolraids.

RubberDougie.2750:

Something about a Rev and Molten Boss. I’m sure you know it.
Something about a Mossman and a geometry / pathing bug. I’m sure you know it.

I’m sure this post is within the rules as these are vague enough to not allow people to perform these. Also, I don’t know how Revs do that thing they do. I never asked, but I should so I could submit a proper bug report.

Make LFG with “legit mossman only”, I’m sure you’ll find lots of people who’d love to waste their time with you.

Dagins.5163:

So what, let them wait 30 minutes in averange for a match?

Yes. Cuz, you know, its called matchmaking.

NiisanSora.6289:

Hello! As someone who has played fractals for a very long time, I’m not a big fan of groups solely doing Swamp to get the daily runs, as it detracts from running others fractals, save for the Molten Boss fractal. While I don’t have a problem with people who only do the recommended fractals followed by swamp runs, it makes it harder for those of us that want to play more diverse fractals from getting groups. My recommendation would be that the daily fractals change to completing three different types of fractals within the particular level (1-20, 21-50 etc.). That way it would encourage people not to repeat fractals for dailies (as the dailies currently guard against) and to do different fractals. Sure, I understand people will still want to do the three easiest fractals, but it’s still more diverse than doing swamp repeatedly. Thanks for reading!

P.S. Some smaller changes I would champion for would be for a separate 50-75,76-100 daily, fractals counting towards daily completion (as wvw and pvp do), and a title for completing the Master fractals achievement (completing every fractal from 75-100).

Universal rule of game development #21: “Pls force them to play how I want them to play!” never works.

Sunfish.5970:

Oh my god you need to stop your waterfall of tears buddy, You dont even know who those players are. Theyre top players that dont have much time to play this game, and one day decided to que with toker.

If this screenshot reflects state of “top pvp players”, then we don’t need such top at all.

How about simply adding option to turn visibility for titles/leagues/mastery off unless player is selected.

Skyline Crash.6254:

Actually, I kept pugging and slowly got a team of random people. It consists of 2 warriors, a rev, an ele, and a guard. We won almost every match. Warriors are pretty good, they might need a few buffs here and there but overall, they’re fine.

Warriors are not good, they are godlike OP. They are so much OP that no single team in ESL rolled a warrior, because that was absolutely unfair to others.

Narkodx.1472:

It really is that simple

All this crying about balance yet you have these options just pick one of the meta builds- Rev/Reaper/Tempest/Scrapper/Druid/DH – If you are really bad I suggest DH

Don’t like the meta builds because they are “lame” or “cheesy” better get used to losing

OR

Make a team and coordinate so that you can play your special snowflake Necro Minion Healer build and have a chance at winning with superior rotations and coordination

Don’t wanna make a team? Don’t wanna use a meta build? Stick to unranked and let the big boys who care about winning play in ranked

It is really that simple

Or better, stop pvping at all. Let “big guys” enjoy their 20m queue and same faces again and again.
But then anet will delete custom servers and hotjoin in last desperate attempt to save “esports”. Because, you know, 5% of pvp population are important enough to kill game mode for everyone else, right?

Skyline Crash.6254:

Shocking, I know, but there will ALWAYS be people in lower tiers. That’s the way the system works. So don’t go acting like you DESERVE to be in a higher tier when other people in higher tiers are better than you, have a better team comp, better communication, etc. If you want to be the best, you have to actually try.

Ofc, sure bro.
When it will be not dependent from things like “with equal skill be on faceroll cheese class like rev to win, or be on war/thief to be rekt”, “be in team for ez top 5-10% just because we don’t have soloQ, lmao”.

HaxTester.9816:

The thing with “cheese builds” is that they become predictable eventually. Take some time to study these builds and make a counter to them. The reason why cheese builds succeed is because they counter the meta builds people copy paste. So if you frequently see DH or rev in battle, then become a DH killer or rev killer.

“Just l2dodge fear” ©

It’s so funny to see how people crying about how insanely OP warrior gimmick Gun Flame build in thread nearby, but full on DH defensive mode here, because DH is totally fine and l2p and stuff.

Merged queue need to go with leagues. Teams have no right to have high league position simply because they have TS to organze and able to roflstomp majority of soloquers because of that.

Malediktus.9250:

AP are part of achievements.

Unimportant part, especially for pvp.

Malediktus.9250:

Of course they do, PvP achievements existed from day 0.

Ofc they are, achievements are part of pvp. Unlike AP grind.

Malediktus.9250:

Salty? The revenant got a few extra collection which have 0 in common with the pvp achievements.

And AP grinding have 0 in common with pvp too btw.

Malediktus.9250:

It came to my attention, that the new Revenant achievements give less achievement points than the old class achievements.
For the old classes you gained 35+45 AP, for Revenant you only gain 20+20 AP. I am hoping to see the AP rewards for these buffed to be in line with the other class achievements.

Sure, right after deleting extra 50 AP for revenant trait lines.

Legendary weapons never had that option, so its unlikely that legendary armor gonna get it. Legendary items are here just for skins and achievement.

tl;dr: “don’t nerf me bro”
But it will change nothing. DH is too cheap and too faceroll, just like turrets/spiritcancer before him. It deserves similar fate.

ThyShadowPaladin.9521:

how easily my team breezes through fractals every day & the initial push to 100

If you think this is a worthy feat, then you obviously have l2p issues.

DH gonna be gutted sooner or later anyway, so all “skillful” DH defenders will immediately reroll back to cele d/d or which spec is most braindead and cheese atm. We just need to wait.

1. Nerf Effigy HP and toughness to old values.
2. Horray, it worth killing!

Give him less than gazillion HP and toughness, and then we will talk about “fighting fair”.

Fines Juliverine.5846:

There are just a few situations you really needed to LoS mobs or pull them into a corner

Like, every fat enough trash pack if you don’t have a good puller?

DH player: If you are losing against me you are bad or f2p player! DH is balanced and full of skill, pls dont nerf me bro.

But drops surely exists, right? I mean, I finally got an ascended weapon chest yesterday! From Tequatl. Ugh.

Mefiq.7039:

Daredevils have 3/4 evades rest of classes have 2. Even if F1 Warr skills are telegraphed it doesnt mean you cant setup 100%sure hit. Hammer + AXE/Shield is great example. You bash enemy head with hammer making him burn stunbreaks. Then SWAP Shieldbash F1 for nice dmg.

Hey, bro, can you give me your magic hammer with insta CC? Because my hammer seems kinda broken, backbreaker have 1sec cast time, so everyone and his grandma evading it.

51+ fractals are HoT content. End of story.

NovaanVerdiano.6174:

Can’t see pugs getting close to 100 tbh, I assume somewhere between 59 and 70 will be the point where pugs won’t be able to progress further, except they keep running swamp or something

Everyone and his dog will be at least at highest swamp fractal level after few weeks.

HwaRyun.1807:

Why would i be trolling?

Because other option implies serious logic problems.

HwaRyun.1807:

I like it.

The highest tier of salvaging should have a cost barrier, otherwise it makes getting those legendary parts trivial and meaningless. Looking forward to salvaging my 400 or so rings when i finish downloading the patch.

Not sure if troll or just…

Stompy.1387:

Arah path 4 – 1 gold
SE path 1 – 35 silver (only heard from a friend)

I wonder if anyone except sellers will run arah after that. Now its absolutely 100% waste of time.

NapTooN.6283:

Finally the Noobs have to learn to dodge red circles instead of cheesing Mai Trin. I always charged the Mobs to prevent them from killing Ellen, now I don’t have to do it anymore.

I guess you are one of those “Noobs” if you still haven’t noticed “slight” bugs with barrage AoE circles and oneshots out of circles.

NovaanVerdiano.6174:

The most difficult about Trin is people who don’t know how it works tbh

Killed her hundreds of times and know how to solokite her. Still sometimes dying from barrage because of awesome tellings. Geee, surely this is l2p issue.
