Again, the problem is not the Hammer or Hammer Stuns, The problem is having 20+ hammer warriors and guardians hitting you at the same time but you could have 20+ of anything hitting you at the same time and it would still be OP. You nerf the hammer more and it will kill whatever little remaining Hammer roaming builds are left.

If they were to nerf all stuns to make it so you actually stood a chance against hammer warriors would that be such a bad thing? i mean, if not remove the stuns atleast remove the 25% damage increase from the trait when enemies are knocked down. it makes it very op.

Are you trying to stand a chance against 1 warrior or 20? Ever if they nerfed the kitten out of it you still wouldn’t stand a chnace against 20 hammers falling upon you. If your saying you don’t stand a chance vs 1 warrior then I have to ask, have you ever heard of stability or stun breaks?

Roll a Hammer warrior and take it roaming, then try and tell me that it is OP.

Ive done that before, i still say its op. my current wvw toon is a warrior and i used to have a hammer until i went with a gs/rifle.

Warrior hammer stuns with a specific trait can increase the hammer damage dealt by 25% and the hammer skills recharge are reduced by 20%. perhaps you might think about removing that trait to kill the blackgate hammer train. im not trolling so dont bother posting that.

Recently my guild ‘Arcanum School of Magic’ on the server of ‘Tarnished Coast’ the unofficial Roleplay server decided to move it’s RP to Rata Sum. After all, the Asura are the more magically inclined and in our eyes, Rata Sum provides a better Roleplaying environment for our members.

However, a week after moving to said location, PCRS (The Guild RPing as Peacemakers in Rata Sum) contact us and tell us how it is illegal for anyone that is not an Asura to be in Rata Sum without a permit. They inform us on how they’re getting this information from an NPC in-game… we at Arcanum, don’t see this as sufficient evidence to call us Lore Breaking for even being there, and secondly, that in itself seems the most idiotic law I think I’ve ever heard. There basis, is that if you are ‘to tall’ or ‘smell funny’ (I.E. Height/Odor Permits) then you can be arrested.

My question to ArenaNet is this; is this a real law? And if so, explain why in the world the Asura would pass such a useless law? I mean, surely newcomers to their city that may/may not remain will buy goods and their economy will benefit from such things, whereas completely barring others to their city? Why even allow us players to be able to enter Rata Sum at all then?

Rp is rp, there is a clear difference between ooc and ic chat. they didnt mean you couldnt come around out of character lol.

Here’s Ninnko. He’s pretty cute.

Ninko… thats just creepy man, those eyes lol.

How about a tp merchant in the spawn? or if there is one, a icon above his head?

So i was wondering when they plan on adding TP merchants in EOTM, i find it rather annoying when im trying to buy something in EOTM for the battles and all i can do is go back to LA or DR. just saying, it seems thats the one thing they forgot.

Everyone stop raging about The Edge of the Mists map being down, you dont know how hard anet is truely working on it and should give them credit for even trying. they do not have to do so at all. it will be up when it is up, stop crying about it.

And yet in my profession, no matter “how hard you try”, at the end of the day if you have a bad outcome that was entirely preventable on your part, you are usually on the receiving end of a 6-7 figure lawsuit.

We are consumers of a product who have paid, and continue to pay, hard-earned money for working and functional content. The release success rate of these pieces of content are unacceptably low, usually causing high degrees of collateral damage to other aspects of the game, and simply represent rushed timelines in the interest of maximizing quarterly earnings.

I’m tired of being abused by company executives who are banking on this bizarre notion in gaming that completely unusable content is somehow acceptable as long as “it’s eventually fixed”.

Look buddy, if you have a problem with it, fix it yourself or just let them do it as best they can. Anet has been hard at work on alot of content, they do not have to put out another living story and they could just shut down GW2 entirely if they felt like it.

Fix it myself? Are you unaware as to how a basic economy is designed to function?

Let me clarify. I don’t care how hard they work, I care about results. I work 8-12 hour workdays with periodic 20-30 hour overnight calls for which I am paid to do my job well and obtain good results. Working hard is a basic prerequisite to obtaining consistently good results, not the end metric by which I am assessed. I then use this money that I earn in part to pay Anet with the expectation that they will do their job well.

The 2nd half of this agreement is consistently failing. This is not an isolated incident, it is yet another chain in a repeat of incidents that has happened with every major content update, since and including, release.

You paid for what you got; Guild Wars 2. Now, they’re giving you free extra content with even a monthly fee. Even expansions for most games have to be bought. But not here. If their gifts to us aren’t working properly at first, it isn’t our place to say that we’re not getting what we paid for. We already got that. We should try to be supportive of the efforts ANet put into Guild Wars 2 to keep us interested instead of leaving the game to die, which would simply be giving us what we paid for until we got bored and left on our own. Be thankful for the Living Story and ANet’s hard work instead of giving nonconstructive criticism that does nothing to further the situation.

The living story content and accompanying microtransaction content actually nets companies more per player, on average, than a subscription-based service, which is why almost every major publisher has incorporated microtransactions into their payment schemes. I’d be happy to pull the literature and studies that were done on that if you want.

So I’m not sure why you think this content is “free” or are “gifts”. In fact it’s done because executives at NCsoft have figured out it’s the most efficient way possible to extract money out of the playerbase, mainly because people are unable or unwilling to track how much money they spend on microtransactions on a monthly or yearly basis compared to a recurring subscription.

Death do yourself a favor, stop posting.

What? Admittedly I’m a bit tired atm, but really I don’t see the joke assuming it was one. o.o Who was this directed at, or was it kinda just an undirected comment so to speak?

Random posts make the world go round, thats the best part of the forums.

Here is the post for you.

Hey all. I know you’ve all seen the new build, but the team hasn’t opened up the map just yet. I will update here when it’s been opened up. Just a little more patience, please

Nope, open it now. Pl0x!! :P

Leave the forums… just leave… please to save everyone the trouble of having to read this.

Take over anet and try to do better or dont bother with another post. you are not helping anything here and need to see how anet is doing their best, do not expect them to be able to fix it in ten seconds.

I respectfully submit this new post for people to go at eachother over things of little importance to the game and stuff that isnt helpful.

Just popping in to let y’all know we haven’t forgotten about you. The team is still hard at work fixing this problem. Again, sorry for any disruptions in your plans to play the new content today.

Maybe they should test it before?

They did test it. Their testing cannot however account for what happens on the live servers where thousands of players all try and access the content at once.

Three days ago they released a statement saying that EoTM would be down for around 2 hours after the patch was released so they could ensure that it would be ok. And obviously it wasn’t ok so now they’re having to work on it more. That doesn’t sound unreasonable to me.

For people saying they should have a public testing server – no thanks, you just get everyone trying to play in the testing server so they can experience new content first which means nobody is actually playing the current content and the game sort of dies as a result.

This dude needs to work for anet, im not kidding either, fox you get a huge thumbs up from me for posting that.

Idunaz.5317:

So much hype over this, and it’s been live for how long now, yet no one can access it, and you can’t even let us know if you are doing anything to fix it?

Dude… how can you miss a red tag.

Everyone who is currently crying about EoTM being down should either stop or go play world of warcraft.

Kinda funny how PVE content works just fine, but wvw content comes out broken.

Kinda funny when people drop it, not realy.

Does it honestly sound like im crying over here? because im laughing at how you are all raging about this post, in truth. if there is a single bad thing said about warriors or any class that someone likes there is going to be a firestorm of nothing but hate to the person posting it lol. IDK

We are not angry, we are just laughing at your pathetic nerf request and the reason for requesting it. It is a most obvious troll. Don’t hate us for laughing at your attempt. We just treat trolls in a very unwelcoming fashion cause all they ever do is polluted the forums with an endless feed of troll dung.

Sounds like a true warrior fan to me, one that would rage if you got another nerf to the hammer build. glad to see this is getting atention. if it wasnt hitting so close to home with people that love warriors than it wouldnt be getting so much hate. admit it, thats the truth.

Like I said in and earlier post, go ahead and nerf it. We will still own you and you will come crying on our forum for another nerf and we will laugh at you again.

Go ahead laugh at me, its amusing to see these posts right now. im sitting here enjoying reading this.

Says the perma stealth thief who can reset a fight when ever they want not forget blind spamming, says the clone a second shatter mesmer that can drop a tank spec war to 2 k hp in 5 sec and leave him with still 3-5 conditions to deal with, says the tankiest self healing gaurdian class almost infinite cond removal/stability, says the kiteing ranger who can just stealth away when it not going his way, says the fear/blinding spamming necro who can switch to an alternate hp pool when ever they want, says the zerker ele who if ya lag or forget to dodge there firestorm hits for 4 k on 3k plus armor, and then theres the 2 shot zerker or bunker for even a 60 man zerg cant bring down build engi and even though the most telegraphed class in this game that just got a nerf can stay alive a while and do cc with poop for damage and your to slow between the ears to dodge, slot a stunbreaker or just respec you come here and cry nerf maybe learn to play your class if you stand still when a hammer trains comming @ you, It’s your lack of skill that gets you killed not and op hammer war.

Actually i play a necromancer that has no stability accept the elite skill. so yeah, i hate thiefs. never could play them right.

Haters gonna hate my posts man, you must realy love your warriors.

Please nerf hammer warrior’s they have allmost infinite crowd control effects and its nothing but a cheap move in wvw.

Well now we know why the norn’s head is empty.

Good to see my post has made a impact, no matter what way. means people have been seeing it.

So on closer inspection and some experience last night, i came to a conclusion as to how BG is getting to our spawn in the borderlands so quickly and spawn killing us. they use the tower outside our spawn and if they loose it to us or the other server they will be very mad. soon after taking it last night the bg zerg showed up to reclaim it and went to spawn killing once more. but i noticed one other thing, they use the rock right outside the spawn to get the upper hand as well.

just imagine how the new players might not be able to hit level 80 before the living story ends for the ta assault part.

So they miss it.

They already missed a year’s worth of special events and living story, a few more missed achievements won’t change much.

Still doesnt change what anet is doing.

Lets get real here. lets talk about the new players and how they might feel about this. along with the living story. and how its a level 80 path. just imagine how the new players might not be able to hit level 80 before the living story ends for the ta assault part.

I would like to point out that anet is now changing alot of stuff to be NON-friendly to non-level 80 toons and should change it so that non-level 80 toons should be able to get into them. for example southsun cove for a while was upscaleable for anyone realy. but now its back to a level 80 zone only. along with the TA P4 is a level 80 only dungeon path and non-level 80’s cant do it due to that.

now i may not be a expert at coding but i can tell you it should have been done along time ago!

Dondarrion.2748:

Meanwhile Anet add stuff like plush, social backpacks and new dye colors to the shop – but they neglect the one thing which really matters now in terms of character modification.

Name change contracts!

It’s the old argument again, Anet, you released a Total Makeover Kit which allowed changing sex of your character, but 2 months later and still counting, there isn’t a name change option?

I feel I’ve been patient now – this feature can HARDLY be that tough to implement seeing as you can force them on names that infract your naming policy – and in addition, you’ve already got the distinction between ACCOUNT name and CHARACTER name so that even though if you change your CHARACTER name, anyone who’s got you in their friend/guild lists, etc. will still see you due to being the same account.

What’s taking so long on this renaming feature?
Please give us some insight, waiting 2-3+ months for a feature that – compared to a lot of the other optional stuff you’ve put out – hardly can take more than a few days of coding max is wearing my patience thin…

You say you HARDLY think it is that difficult and that it can hardly take more than a few days of coding. May I ask how you know this? Do you know for a fact how the backend works?

If I told you that the devs have already said that this is harder than it looks would you believe it? If you did believe it, would it make any difference?

well they are adding useless crap that no one asks for instead of putting something in that alot of players actually want and or need…

its been a long time and they added random kitten to the store that no one even wanted… well some of it anyways. but they cant add the name change… come on guys this is just stupid

tell us are you going to add it or are you not going to add its. its as easy as that. yes or no

well mine is downloading :P

i just dodged the bandits in shaemoor fields and got my daily done that way its real easy because they sit there and look at you for a sec before they shoot. :P

so if you cant do that than youve got big issues

Kumu Honua.2751:

Well, to be fair. You had 22 hours to get those dodges done…

this is my point… it doenst take may dodges either. just go to shaemoor fields and mess with some bandits they cant hit for kitten and its easy to dodge

ya that sounds quite funny, someone should reward that thief for his mission being accomplished

Being a jerk is easy. Doesn’t really merit any praise.

i find it funny as well… WORK HARDER TO GET THE DAILY AND DONT COMPLAIN. simple as that

same what are they doing?

so alot of gw2 players have been wondering when the name change ability will come… this is including me of course. ive seen alot of posts about it but not one thing has been done to add the feature… so when are we going to see this added? or are we going to ever see this added? devs please dont say soon because you said that over 3 months ago and still nothing has happened…

still this seems quite stupid in my opinion

Because it’s not like their reworking them, is it?

dunno are they?

yep they messed up dungeons big time so whatever nothing you can do accept it

ok here is a question for you all… what is your opinion of multi-boxing?

well if thats the case ill get his account name some time and report it

enjoy the game rather than leveling 3 or more toons up at once

well the real question is what is the point of multi-boxing anyways i mean its pretty much a cheat and useless
