Guild Wars 2

Jack of All Trades, Master of NONE.

We’re like the engineers who didn’t get our diplomas.

Glue Shot for engineers, non elite, reasonable recharge rate.
Binding Roots for Rangers, Elite, crazy long recharge rate

Healing Turret for Engineers, No time limit on regeneration, stay in rage get the benefit.
Healing Spring for Rangers, Has a limited time before it dissapates.

Now Warrior Longbow fire 2 shots
Ranger Longbow, pretty kitten weak… like or not, Warrior has twice the dps rangers have on the longbow.

Shortbow pre nerf, able to keep up DPS with thieves considering their first bow skill bounces.
Post nerf, Atleast piercing arrows isnt nerfed to limit going through 2 bodies or something stupid like that.

If you’re gonna slash our attack speed by almost half then raise our damage by almost half.

The only reason why people used the shortbow was not because it did superb damage, but because it was fast enough to make up for the low damage and if you can flank then even better.

Hay how about pets huh?
Why dont you guys fix those instead, their AI is by far the stupidest in any MMORPG anyones seen, even the pets in Guildwars were better.

Yeah im not happy with the SB nerf.

Agreed as a COMMANDER of the pact they should let me into their HQ, hell they could have had their own initiation for the commander become an honorary member of their faction.

Panzen.4625:

Who deserves it?
Everyone except the humans.
Instead of retreating to live somewhere else they decided to go for last stand and scorched earth. Their “reasoning” was that if they couldn’t have it, noone should. They even sacrificed their own souls and bound them to the land to haunt everyone else forever.

The land was already scorched when they Charr did the searing!
Ascalon wasnt always a wastelandish place.

And of course they wouldn’t leave the place, its their homeland.

Cyrus.8261:

Rizzy.8293:

Who do you think are the rightful people of Ascalon.

The Humans who took over Ascalon fair and square whilst the charr were busy fighting amongst themselves trying to figure out who should be Khan Ur?

Obviously the Charr who took it back “fair and square” while the humans were busy fighting amongst themselves, trying to figure out whose gods, seen or unseen, should be the real ones.

Now if only some Ghostbusters could be summoned to evict those annoying ghosts squatting on prime Charr real estate.

Using the Cauldron of the Cataclysm wasnt “Fair”
That was item given to them by an avatar of Abbadon.

Who do you think are the rightful people of Ascalon.

The Charr who claimed to be there first but were more situated up in the north in Dalada Uplands and then lost their control over the South namely the region known as Ascalon be cause of their in fighting.

Or

The Humans who took over Ascalon fair and square whilst the charr were busy fighting amongst themselves trying to figure out who should be Khan Ur?

If you wana die lol.
Just eat a peach tart or omnomnomberry bar.

Im really hoping they dont increase the level cap and add more treadmills, I want to enjoy the bloody story.

Mox was awesome.

Kasama.8941:

I am sad about this It would save me the trouble of having to play a Warrior every time I want to use a rifle. Also, rifles look amazing with medium armor!

I still think it’s funny that some are trying to fight this, like it’s going to have huge impact on the profession and it’s “nature aesthetic”. Giving a rifle to the Ranger can only ever make it better. You are only adding something, not taking anything away.

Because rangers are elitists who uphold the old way.
Rifles are weapons of industry and destruction, which is against the way of the ranger who is intune with nature.

NinjaKnight.1340:

I agree there should be a speed boost but also a cost of sorts. So it could be a food or potion.

Much as I would like a 60% boost I don’t think that would be right in a combat situation. But out of combat perhaps.

If you really think you can run through any mob right now you haven’t been to Orr. There are many places where it is impossible to run through a dangerous area and survive.

One does not run through mobs, one runs around them.
occasionally Id have to fight them coz they would have snared me and pulled me but mostly i was able to bypass them

id flip a table if they did and played some other MMORPG

no opposition then?

Spear guns dont use black powder, they use compressed air.

TheVirtualFrog.8714:

Levetty.1279:

I want new legendary bows, Rangers got completely screwed there.

What? You have no desire to wield a pastel coloured, unicorn adorned bow that shoots rainbow farting Nyan Cat arrows on command? It’s obviously the coolest weapon in the whole wide world…

…if the game was designed for pre-schoolers and My Little Pony fans, that is.

Absolutely no desires what so ever.

World War III.3869:

wolf – its fear special can save when youre downed. fun to send it long distance at a group that’s balled up. also good as an extra mechanic to allow you to do more dmg or to get an extra second to heal etc. its awesome.

hyena – special summons another one. good meat shield. has cripple and likes to knock down peeps. the KD can also save you when youre downed. works good in smaller fights because youll do that much more dmg and have a little bit more cc from the extra one.

all i ever use really. sometimes i might use a bear or cat. sometimes devourers. sometimes i mess around with forage. usually these two though. like 99% of the time.

Cant tell a wolf to terrifying howl when you’re downed :|

why do you have nothing in your precision trait when you use bows :|

Rangers dont use rifles coz rifles are anti nature.
They’re called Rangers not Hunters or Texas Rangers.

They run in the wild and commune with nature spirits and hunt only what they need to survive.

Also they’re elitist about their weapon choices, and believe rifles are for skilless peasants who cant pull the draw weight of a bow.

This is why rangers DONT use rifles.

Thieves on the other hand the fact they dont use rifles when it befitting them, is a conundrum

guess not enough ranger.

Reported for what?

All you need to do is remember his name and not invite him the next time.

Ive got a few people on my list that Im never going to pug with.

Yes yes we have way points.

Heres the thing, Waypoints are not immersive, how many of you remember what the entrance to Divinity’s Reach or the Black Citadel looks like? For most of these locations, its a one way journey, after you made your first entrance chances are future entrances are made via waypoint.

If you dont like the idea of being able to toggle a 40% – 60% speed increase, fine don’t turn it on, keep using your way point.

But for some players who enjoy using a speed boost without having the local fauna constantly to kill us so we can take in the sights and visual art thats made beautifully, whats the harm?

Personally if we moving around the map faster, it would increase the chances that someone coming to your aid when you’re doing a Heart Quest as they would arrive to the same heart quest faster than if they had just walked there, especially if they were new to the map and dont have any waypoints unlocked.

Not to mention being able to stop and revive defeated players.

And for people who say a speedboost would just allow people to bypass mobs… Are you serious?

Dont you already bypass mobs on your normal speed?
I know I do, especially if theres 10 of them infront and I’m a rush to get to the DE happening nearby.

Right now Gw2 feels like random people zipping from one WP to the next WP to get next chain of DEs, theres no sense of comeradry, its like, oh we beat this DE, POOF may or may not see the other person at the next point oh well.

But if we were capable of moving at 40% – 60% faster, it would be a group of people who might take the time to recognize each other and put a personality behind that avatar.

Why would anyone be against trying to make a game more sociable?

CTzar.8542:

Shizzlenit.7648:

They could just implement a “I want to duel” Status that you can switch on and off, if you have it off you cannot get invited.

And you’re annoyed by people dueling around you? Im annoyed by people running around on my screen… A-Net should get rid of that !

Granted, just seeing a bunch of other people dueling is a minor concern, but you can’t honestly compare it to people just walking around. Duelists also make noise, and with several duels going on at once all over the city, the cacophony would be insanity inducing.

If I could set a status that prevented the invites, and another to prevent me from hearing all of the grunts, clangs, and “For Great Justice!"s from duels then I’d be OK with that as a compromise with those that want to duel in cities.

What makes you think you’re so important that people want to duel you :|

In any case just decline it and if they keep it up ignore them.

Awesomelol.9201:

DavidGX.1723:

Awesomelol.9201:

Yees agreed dueling would be awesome and people saying the game isn´t balanced for 1v1 come on not a single mmo is but they still have dueling

But just releasing it in an unbalanced state isn’t an option. Unless you’re new to the internet or MMOs, you know as well as I do that if it’s unbalanced there will be ENDLESS complaining on all forums and in the game. If they decide to even TRY and make it balanced, they’ll have to rebalance the entire game around dueling. I just don’t think that’s worth it.

there are already 1vs1 encounters in spvp sometimes and ppl already complain that they got crushed by a warrior or crushed by a thief this or that but as said the game is not based around 1vs1 and ppl are already complaining so putting in dueling wouldn´t change anything it actually gives ppl a chance to pratice more for pvp or just test out things or just be a fun activity for when u are bored this is the first mmo ive played that dosen´t have dueling and it is ridicolous

4 VS 4

4 players tested their build and know they can synergize well
4 players untested

I would have to say the 4 players who tested their builds and learned how to synergize properly via dueling would win.

And right now the only way to do that is in sPVP which is redundant.

Exactly and people wonder why everyone in WvW zergs.

Learning how to fight in a friendly non competitive environment such as Dueling helps people hone in their skills for real competitive fights.

Aw nuts.
if i had done my runs 3 hours earlier.

So the first run of each path in a dungeon rewards you with 60 tokens.

Question is, this “daily timer” is it based on server time or player time, as in a player has to wait 24 hours before the daily bonus is returned.

And if its on server time, what time does it reset?

Im not ready
give it another hour or so

because some stats are prefered over others.
Its like asking why is Superior Rune of Vitality 50plats on the rune trader in guildwars.
Because everyone wants it, and somehow as a whole came to the conclusion that those are the best stat mods to use.

But its not an advantage at all.

Having power, vit, toughness gear be equally accessible as power crit% toughness, would not create an imbalance.

Its just an arbitrary distinction.

No?

Lets look at superior rune of the eagle for example shall we, the last stat reads

5% more damage to foe under 50% hp.
Since we wear 6 armour pieces thats…

6 × 5 = 35 percent.

Now lets say I’m doing a base damage of 1000

35% percent of 1000 is 350
So after target hp drops to 50%
my base damage is now 1350

Now lets compare out of 10 attacks
Base damage without the rune
1000 × 10 = 10,000
Base damage with the rune
1350 × 10 = 13,500
Damage difference 3,500.

Mind you the average player at level 80 has about 14k – 20khp.

How do I move my minimap back to its default position on the lower right corner?

I concur, worst is when you have to use those kitten ground targeting skills.

with 300ms ping that target is no longer where you saw him at.
Position based combat is fun an all but with lag this high… not really.

I had this problem playing rupting mesmer on guildwars.
I was fine when I was in europe and rupted every skill on queue but when I returned to asia it was like, missed the skills unless it was a 2 second casting skill.

You died in Arah?
thats like the easiest dungeon ever.

And atleast you got greens, all I got were blues.

Permanent traveling speed boosts accompanied with visual aesthetic to make exploration more immersive.

Its pretty much the way I feel about Gw2, its good but theres things that can be worked on

about time i was wondering when he was gona do gw2

Your argument to people who are 80 is invalid because you don’t even have a level 80 form a proper objective view on the subject they’re talking about.

It’s like when people talk about cheese, some love it some hate it, and you’ve never had cheese before in your life so you talk about how awesome milk is, because milk is used to make cheese.

Zetoe.1327:

Not until we get fencer and monk

Fencers are pointless

Monks no longer exist because their training upgraded into Guardians, no longer are they bound to light armour they now wear plate

THEY DONT HAVE PLACE IN THIS GAME WORLD???

You’re wrong on soooo many levels. First and foremost, there are Bard NPCs all over Hoelbrak; but those are Celtic type bards which – awesome as they are – aren’t exactly what people are asking for. (But they are awesome and it would be something worth roleplaying. There’s even this great little interaction between a child NPC and a Bard: “Can you do magic?”, No “A puppet show?” No, “Dance?” Listen kid, I’m not that kind of bard. [or something very close to that])

Second, in a middle ages styled setting we’re gonna have singers and entertainers to spare … we already have the Circus and its offshoots; the bards are there, they just aren’t PCs.

Problem is, for PCs, the Mesmer kinda fills the role of bard, lore wise. Like someone else said, they are presented like entertainers and magicians, at least in the human kingdoms.

Charr bards would be a lot different, probably like the rythm keepers on ships and in work crews – banging on drums and singing songs to labor bye.

Every Asura bard is a Shakespeare in the making – coming up with new made up words and ways of saying things that no one else has used.

Sylari bards are probably poets, catching places and moments in their words.

Norn are the lore keepers, warriors and writers of epics.

All of these can be RPed, and would be a lot more fun to roleplay from another class than just play mechanically. I’d love to have some instruments that swapped us out some power sets, though, that would be awesome. (maybe something we could buy from the gem store)

They’re called Skaalds, and the last time a Skaald joined the party to fight off the Charr in Jora’s story Blood washes Blood he was a paragon.

DEFINITELY. My favorite aspects of normal GW were pets and heroes.
I have a character here named Elder Flamingo, for crying out loud.
I love pet evolution.

Lawl elder flamingo XD

Mavajo.5796:

My favorite digital manifestation of personality was a Dwarf Rogue in WoW.

Alcoholic ne’er-do-well that reluctantly becomes a hero. Those are always my favorite types of heroes.

XD
For Khazmodan!

Warrior – Head strong, faces problems head on.
Guardian – Strong will and supportive
Thief – Rebellious with some issues with authority
Ranger – Keeps their distance from people
Engineer – Inventive or pyromaniacal or dopers (talking about elixers)
Mesmers – Cunning and manipulative
Necromancer – A taste for the macabre side of life
Elementalist – Not sure how to describe this one lol.

You kidding right?
A Stealth that lasts 3 – 4 seconds is a huge issue?
Not to mention the long cool down on it, and their dagger skill 5 is a high int skill that actually requires you to HIT a target, meaning spam it twice because you missed the first time that means no more int for heartseeker spam.

Most of the time a thief activates their heal stealth is to run away

myxaplix.9531:

Kind of thinking they should calm down the amount of XP rewarded from doing discoveries. I went from 72 to 80 in about an hour and a half bringing my leather working from 320 to 400. Not sure its necessary to award 32000 times 2 xp for a single discovery.

No.
Play how you want
Thats the GW2 mantra
If players want to be a pacifist, thats their call.

Walle.6087:

4) I also miss the ability to save trait trees to switch on the go depending on what was needed for the area

Guildwars has no traits.
Guildwars has builds.

pet evolution, it needs to be brought back

Umm why would any races wanna be fighting each other…

Aside from humans and charr…

You think hammers are small?
You seen short bows?

They’re like toy bows.

What do you think, does your main profession match your personality?

Jestunhi.7429:

If in group, they can call target and pressing T will target the called target.

If not, I can clearly see where the mobs are by their names in your screenie, tab targetting would be no challenge in that situation.

The point hes trying to bring up is that the mobs are completely covered in particle effects making it hard to distinguish where they exactly are.

And in some cases nearly impossible to see them doing their visual cue unless you’re standing right up infront of them
