Guild Wars 2

Personally I think this shouldn’t exist. It’s hardly ever even used , just about every other weapon but Dagger for Thief has more than 3 hits. It’s nearly impossible to land all six hits let alone getting to the 3rd auto attack Triple chop. What i do when im running Axe warrior is just reset the auto attack chain once it hits 2 with cyclone axe( Chop , Double Chop , Double Chop , Cyclone Axe) . Triple Chop is useless outside of PvP aspect.

Can you guys please fix this clunky looking animation bug? IT looks ridiculous while moving… Its been like this since the release and no one thought it looked odd?

Can we all agree that Revenant needs some weapon rework? MY two main concerns would be Revenant staff skill 5 “Surge of the Mists”. Since it functions like Whirlwind Attack, it should at least have a "targetable " form. It gets frustrating having to face a certain way for your skill to go off effectively. Another skill i want to talk about is Crystal Hibernation. This skill was just like “Shield of Absorption” at one point. It was a stationary skill and it would root the player in place and didn’t allow ANY movement, thus geting burst down quick. Why can’t “Crystal Hibernation” be a movement skill as well? With all the CC’s and unblockables in the game since the release of HoT , stationary skills seems a bit too much , don’t you think? That’s just my opinion.

I’d be great if Tomes of Knowledge gave WvW rank, they’re so useless.

yea i got like 500 tomes of knowledge… spirit shards are kinda useless too.

You have to Zerg A LOT LOL , i been roaming since 2013 and i’m only 1700 rank.

Yes I agree with either turning them all neutral (Yellow) or just remove the ambient npcs altogether.. What purpose do they really serve? To make WvW feel alive?

I wonder how the mechanics would work for Mounts? Right now Gliding is just a re-skin of Falling ; meaning they just changed falling speed and put a glider over it. So how would mounts really work? Would they have strafe and stuff or do they turn and move like mounts in other games?

Assuming everyone by this time knows we are getting mounts next expansion.. Apologies if you didn’t sorry for the spoiler.. Any who.. Will mounts be able to be ridden in Central Tyria? Just like how they made Gliders able to use any where instead of HoT maps? What do you think? Hopefully the mounts are not restricted to be used at stables on the new expansion map. I wonder how mounts will be “summoned” any way? Will there be stables? Or a hot key that spawns mounts?

Do you think we will ever be able to get these 2 things?

And I mean oakheart walk so slow you can run away if they are killing you…
If you need some safe practice, go to queensdale and near the swamp there are a few. I practice on those during late night so people don’t interfere with oakheart and my 1v1 duels.

I don’t think you understand the OP. It’s saying people rally off the VINES the oakheart is throwing on people, not dying to the oakheart itself……

Obvious Troll is obvious. Not even gonna continue to read their trash. This forum post was directed to Anet devs anyway.

Why do people think I died to a Oakheart lol… it clearly says it rally’s people, it doesn’t say it rallied me… It’s a bug that exist in the game which rally’s people if they kill the entangling vines. That’s it.

Better to just add extra WvW Skirmish Claim Tickets to the Skirmish Chest (key word Skirmish). It then incentives Veteran/High-Rank players to continue playing which means more people play more because the High-Ranks are the ones tagging up throughout the week. .

Agree with This ^

This This ^ ^

who even asked for this crap though ? were people really like " yea i want a npc dialog box that gives me 3 random tier mats a day" … I sure didn’t , and i sure wouldn’t spend my money on that crap either.

Malerian.8435:

I dislike the idea. I think it should take you more time if you are a casual player. Compare this to every day life. IF you do not go to work everyday you get less than others. Same thing here. If you do not put in the time, you won’t get rewarded as fast as others.

I feel you on not having time to play, but it needs to stay the way it is. Otherwise it is just easy mode and everyone will have it…

Mmmm…can’t use real life as an example. We do have minimum wage laws, and as a result, I’ve never seen a wage scale where a new worker has to work exponentially harder than the next guy in line to make a living. Plus, it’s usually the rich that make exponentially more, so why are you even capped at 175 for all your veteran-ness? If RL worked like the total hours per pip rate below, both the poor and the rich would be furious…there’s little incentive to even start, and there’s little incentive to work beyond a certain point:

I agree with you Sylvyn , Like i stated before i know a lot of stubborn people gonna say no cause “we’re hard core gamers!” “leave it to the veterans to stick true to WvW” all that crap.. All I’m saying is make it easier for people who are casual gamers… How hard is that to understand?

No im saying the Oakhearts vines… the immob skill that It does. It puts down these little vines that grapple you and if you kill it in down state it resses you

Ummm slow? Necros are slow… thats why they get killed all the time. Irony.

Please fix or remove the Rally system from Oakheart Vines… they rally people …. all the time and it’s annoying.

Ahh i must’ve read over it. That was really recent too. I’m glad they added that. That was a pain.

Shining One.1635:

This option already exists.

A new option called Hide Optional Announcements has been added to the General Options > User Interface section. Enabling this will disable the “Objective captured!” notification in WvW.

oh wow thank you, when was that added?

Too much clicking… why are there boxes in side of boxes.. Why not just give me what’s inside and include whats in the next box? I dont understand the point of opening one box and getting 2 more boxes… Is it suppose to feel like its “More loot” but it’s really not?

I’m just throwing the idea out there. I know it’s gonna get shot down quick cause this community is full of salt at times. But what do you think of Anet adding Tickets to daily chests / achievements? Since chest aren’t repeatable and it takes about 120+ hours (depending on if you’re on winning server or have outnumbered pips ; more or less) to complete , why not just add tickets to dailies? This will help out casual players as well. People that have a life outside of the game and don’t want to spend 3 years to obtain a simple item.

Kythan Myr.4719:

I almost have.

After a month since update I have claimed a whopping 65 tickets. At this rate I will get a mistforged weapon in about 5 months or get the first tier of the backpack in 5 months too. I’m not alone either, my server is mostly dead again. This update did very little to revitalize our server’s interest in WvW.

I know that these rewards are for the vets, and I’m glad you have this. I feel the rewards should be easier to get for the vets but still accessible to all. I know technically they are, but if you are low rank and on a server with little gameplay, then it’s near impossible to get. At this rate it would take about 3 1/2 years to get the full legendary backpack. That is after doing nothing but WvW. In that time I could do so much more in the other game modes. That and playing on a server that has little or no interest in WvW, make this game mode BORING. I’ve switched servers twice to follow the action, I don’t intend to do it anymore.

I hope Anet rebalances this soon. I really want to like WvW. I’ve had some very memorable experiences there and hope to again someday.

I feel you bro, but they’re most likely not going to listen to you. I even get salt all the time from other players saying this was needed and if you don’t like it deal with it. What kind of mentality is that? As a veteran.. as a supporter of a game i like… you’d think the devs would listen to their majority player base.. after all we are the ones still sticking to support the game… We buy gems when they have nice items… WE are the ones the bring newer players into the game. So why is it that when ever we have a concern and try to voice it.. It’s like they never listen or do the complete opposite. I’m completely lost at their logic at this point.

They’re basically forcing people to play their crappy game mode and zerg / Grind countless hours for a legendary back item… which all the other ones were easier to get and less time consuming… who cares if people gonna have it by the next week? Adding a grind mechanic is so stupid and should not exist in video games… How many people you see with legendary armor the first day it was released… no one cares how long it took you to get it… we were all just waiting for the release. I hope other legendary’s in the future dont take this long to get and tedious amount of hours…. You basically gotta play like 2000 hours for WvW Back item. and thats if you’re consistent . The Chest aren’t even repeatable so basically you do it for the week be done in 2-3 days at the most if you online 12-15 hours a day… then wait a whole week before you can even start again…

Can you guys either move the PVP match starting window? Or at least reduce the size or put the que in another location. Its a little annoying when it pops up on your screen and you cant do anything but either accept or cancel a match. Then it goes on to asking which map you wanna que for and this big window is still in front of your screen.

I dont know about other players but for me this is frustration.. At least be able to move or change the location of the WvW captures. I know Anet has been listening to a few Quality of life changes so mine would be , being able to turn off this . This is frustrating at times when im trying to see someones health or boons so i can fight appropriately but i cant see cause this menu pops up in front..

are you sure the other person wasn’t using any other traits or skills that negated cc? are you sure you weren’t experiencing any kind of lag at the time?

[/quote]

I’m sure it’s not lag because it has happened to me a few times; but i wasn’t able to get it on tape. There isn’t any other warrior trait that allows passive immunity to Crowd control other than “Last Stand” .

nottsgman.8206:

you are supposed to negate crowd control because the trait activates balanced stance, which gives stability at 3 second intervals for 8 seconds. the initial disabling effect is also negated when the trait is triggered.

because of those things, I’m not quite sure what your bug post is about

what… If you watched the video… you would know what the post was about… Last stand activates when you are affected by CC . If its on cooldown you’re not always immune to CC… it was on cooldown… he was still immune to it.. Thats the bug. Please review before you comment.

Video proof of immunity to crowd control . Usually when you run the “Last Stand” trait on warrior, you can often time negate 1 crowd control. Finally got it on video.
When I shield bash , he is immune to the stun , then evades.

Trajan.4953:

We that have PLAYED WvW all this time do not consider this Time Gated.

You that are new and want it right away do.

PLAY WvW or get another shiney.

Lol just cause you dont consider it.. doesn’t mean it isn’t…

I donno if this is a bug or a hotfix that wasn’t in the patch notes… or maybe i missed it? But Mesmers are easier to spot in WvW now c ause they dont have unique name plates like the user.

I don’t think i like how Anet did the WvW Reward track. It’s too timegated… I understand (or at least i think i do) that it’s time gated to keep players busy until the next expansion… but people literally just now get T6 in WvW then just afk at spawn until reward track is starting to go down. The amount of tickets and time consuming gameplay doesn’t make it fun to get , it makes it feel like another job. Why couldn’t you guys just add more tickets for each chest instead of making it capped at diamond NON-REPEATABLE and waiting a whole week until you can start again. I dont know about a lot of the other players… BUT I DON’T PLAY VIDEO GAMES to feel like I’m working another god kitten job. Very frustrated with the amount of tedious gameplay needed to achieve something. It doesn’t feel “LEGENDARY” at all…. Just TIME GATED.

I love the war bringer and the cape/cloak effects on the legendary back piece. Can we all agree that Anet has the potential to add more cloak like items , even Gem store items to the game? Cause i’m really dying to get one! Even guild made cloaks that show guild logos. Or even cloaks that wrap around the neck and drape down. I’m sure you guys can do it ! Patiently waiting ! Been playing since 2012 ! its already 2017 what are you guys waiting for ? ! #HYPETRAIN

ASURA AXE ANIMATION Looks Clunky and wild.
Can we fix the movement visuals on Asura Axe animations while moving? They look so darn stupid. And would it be possible to change it from a 6 hit auto attack to just a regular 3 hit like all the other skills in the game.

A whole mechanic exist like dodging and bunker builds dont even need to dodge half the time. Full burst classes can do a full burst and the bunker will eat it and heal to full. This is why people hate condition builds in this game. It requires no skill half the time, and all the people that wanna talk about it requires skill cause people can clear them is full of crap. especially now that passive boon corrupts exist even on Necro auto attacks, and spammable revenant banish enchantment. Condition builds should be Skill based and traits that give protection / passive fumble(weakness) shouldn’t exist in condition traitlines. I believe Dire / Trailblazers should have a rework, it gives too much Vit/toughness and condition builds only need to work on 1 stat while power builds need power fero and crit chance and often times vitality cause some classes have the lowest base health.

What is the condition clear priority in this game? Is it often times bugged? Cause i often feel like it would clear a cripple or a chill instead of 20 stacks of bleed , or 15 stacks of confusion. Can the condition clear priority be changed to most damaging condition ? i’d even take this clear priority Confusion > Torment > Burning > Bleed > Poison > Slow >Chill > Cripple > Fumble > Vulnerability

too many obsidian shards and not enough uses. I have maybe 5000 obsidian shards and nothing to do with them. i already have all the legendary’s i want. I cant even sell these things to the vendor.

I wish they had more uses for mystic clovers obsidian shards

Why do traits like this still go unnoticed with no Internal Cool down ? out of all the nerfs added in this patch and you over looked the one that gives condition users sustain over power builds. 1000 Toughness 2500 healing on breakstun no ICD.

MoarChaos.8320:

You shouldn’t encourage people not to speak, just because you don’t like the balance they decide to do. All the balance they try and do makes sense. The problem is a lot of the forums are never asking for balance, they just like to use that word to push the changes that benefit them.

Ok so for a skill under Skirmishing for ranger. They removed the passive block projectiles on auto attacks with sword (which you’d blocked auto attacks on any melee weapon) , a trait literally no one used.. maybe a hand full of people that even know what it did.. They added quickness to it instead.. Why do they continue to nerf Engineers and not make them viable any where? And what about elementalist? Classes people would love to play outside of support roles… And they continue to get nothing each patch or just more nerfs. How is that benefiting them? They weren’t even considered the strongest classes to begin with.
When HoT first released it was revenants and Dragon hunters . They could deal a crap ton of dmg from just 2 skills, precision strike and Coalescence of Ruin (rev) ; Test of faith and trueshot (Dragon Hunters) . They already got their deserved nerfs and balancing in number of targets or number of hits.. So why the further nerfs to them? And constantly you see each patch they buff thief condition builds more and more , they even made venom share base line for thief’s.

Pertaining to PvP / WvW , if you see just about every “Balance” patch or update.. they do what ever they feel is “necessary” for the game. I don’t think they ever listen to the suggestions of the players and veterans that post their opinions on the forums. This place is literally useless at times cause it’s nothing but more disappointments with every patch. My friend said that they (Anet) knows most of their money comes from PvE and Raid content. So if you’re expecting a buff / balance within the PvP community you can just kiss that dream goodbye. Keep sharing your thoughts though. It’s not like they’re taking it up for consideration. All they keep doing every patch is buffing condition builds and nerfing cast times ,cooldowns and damage. While boons like protection and conditions like fumble still exist in the game.

As a warrior main, i can honestly agree with Headbutt cast time nerf, but arc divider? even with quickness it feels delayed… and why did they have to nerf shield bash? These skills are literally predictable as hell now and easy to dodge cause of the slow cast times. If anything they couldv’e nerfed the range on arch divider and i would’ve been ok with that… but nerfing the cast time… wow.. and why did they have to nerf Smash brawler? Couldve at least gave it a second functionality like increased adrenaline gain. Warrior should have base adrenaline gain on getting hit any way and shouldnt have to trait for cleansing ire. Also Rousing Resilience needs to be nerfed. WHY HASN’T ROUSING RESILIENCE BEEN NERFED YET? STOP ENCOURAGING CONDITION BUILDS! With protection uptime and Fumble in this game… power builds render useless against dire/trailblazer stats.. at least from a WvW perspective… i understand those stats dont appear in pvp.. yes i know that so you dont have to come on here trying to be a kitten keyboard hero

I see some of these sigils being very useful ; can you add them to the Heroics Notary in WvW ?

NERFS Do NOT equal BALANCE. The amount of nerfs in this latest balance patch is atrocious. Who is directing this PvP Balance? Guard gets nerfed at least every patch… you keep nerfing power builds everyone in PvP is going to eventually just run condition mesmer or condition builds. STOP NERFING EVERYTHING.

There would be an option of course, that will allow you to decline all duel invites if you don’t want to. And People trying to compare WvW and PvE isn’t the same because WvW is server based. You can’t “Duel” everyone you want. You most likely have to go to a guild hall and fight in the arena , where if you had a duel button when you right click on someones name , you could just send an invite to a duel. Many MMORPGs do it. No one is forcing you to do ANYTHING it was just a suggestion.

DeanBB.4268:

Yes, subject to abuse. I could farm my 4 alt accounts with my main.

Well it will have a grace period.. but there will always be a way around something when trying to send gold between accounts if thats what you’re getting at.

its gonna be more of a kite fest than Dash thief is already. Acro+Range with rifle. How anyone gonna be able to do anything against that? and its gonna be worse if thief is getting 1500 range skills like Ranger as base attack.

Just putting the idea out there, im pretty sure it was suggested before. But how would you like to see a bounty system in WvW ? Think it would improve roamer / small group fights ? There would be a board at spawn that you can use to place bounty’s on people, maybe by name or picture of their toon. Other people would then search the Borderland that they’re in looking for it, and who ever gets the kill first gets the bounty. There would also be a grace period for someone who has had a bounty on them, meaning they wouldn’t get the bounty on them right after the bounty was received when they were killed. To stop people from trying to continue putting a bounty on someone over and over.

Can we get this into the game? Be able to accept / decline duels when ever where ever? Fractals / raids / Home instances / Open world PvE? Party members can accept and decline too? up to 50 man open world fights? Has someone suggested this before and it was declined ? And why ? I think this will bring more immersion to Guild wars 2 gameplay. I understand Gw2 or Guild wars in general has tried to stray away from the traditional MMORPG concept ( I.E team work mobs no kill stealing and loot for everyone) , but with the way things are going now; with the implementation of mounts in the next expansion we can see now that it is slowly turning into a traditional MMORPG. Which I absolutely have no problem with because it brings immersion to the game.

Is this a bug because im sure it was suppose to be fixed a long time ago , I know the initial dmg is unblockable when you cross it. but is the activation suppose to be unblockable too?
