Guild Wars 2

Polearm might come. I already posted that in revenant thread but.. [&AgGPcgAA] it was datamined 2 years ago when they started working on expansion. Now its olny a speculation (?) but you never know if it make it way with expansion or not.

Screenshots form uncompressed vid. Now im curious if its a new staff, hammer or something new? For me tis looks like a 2h spear.

edit
But when i think about that datamined [&AgGPcgAA] 2 years ago when they started working on a expansion hmm

Also

Rytlock Brimstone is the first Revenant. He is the famous hero of the Charr and during the Living World’s second season, he disappeared into the mists, chasing after an incredibly powerful magical sword. Through his journeys in the mists, he has mastered the power of the mists and he is returning to teach everyone how to be a Revenant. The Revenant effectively is a heavy armor profession that can channel the power of the mists. What that means is that you can channel the power of great legends from Guild Wars history to define the skills that they have available to them. So you can channel the great Dwarf king, King Jalis Ironhammer, and it makes your character much of a front line, tank-y character with abilities to help him survive fighting face-to-face with your enemies. Or you can channel the demon Malik and get the abilities to control the conditions in combat and become much stronger in DPS, supporting your party by removing conditions from them to protect them. Those are the examples of the types of things that a Revenant can do when channeling a legend and each legend that’s going to be available to a Revenant really defines a different play style that’s available for that profession. I think the Revenant is going to be one of the most diverse professions that we’ve ever made in Guild Wars history and it’ll allow for a lot of different, fun, and unique play styles as you master each of the legends.

Those warriors who complain about their class actually really should quit – but you won’t find an easier class to play the brings so much to the pve team. Stop crying about the past, the present is important and there you are still top tier.

I quitted year ago back when everyone been complaining about how op war is. Came back not so long ago and decided i dont want to play warrior anymore due how simple and boring he is.

Im actually looking for a class with high skill cap that will reward me for mastering it. Warrior is too passive for me. Also tbh i always wanted to play a soldier class that uses offensive magic (guard magic is defensive paladin style).

So please, if you enjoy yours passive boring soaking up damage punchbag called warrior its cool for me, i dont care. Howered dont imply that someone here looking for an easier to play class just cause warrior dindt meet their expectations.

I dont know, maybe warrior will receive soon some deep gameplay via class specialization and will offer more than F1, tricks like other classes etc, but as it stands now i dont see it happening.

-I have no idea whats the warrior state in duels no (probably the olny part of pvp i care about) as i have terrible lags in general on this game (EU latency problems)

-In spvp it seems hes more of a support condi class (shoutbow) right now – im just curious why? oh w8…… Hambow seems to be dead, at least i dindt saw anyone running it.

-In wvw i dont see melee trains with warriors anymore either – again im curious why?

-In dungeons his role is down to support party with banners as his dps is mediocre. Outside of banners he doesnt have anything else to offer.

Hmm..true.

War 18k, guardian 11k. So middle ground 15k for reve?

I just wanted to leave it here for ppl that saying war has good dps

Kagamiku.9731:

I don’t miss earthshaker on a flat surface, but it’s really annoying trying to use it on stairs or a ramp, since it misses every time.

Today i missed it few times in a row to someone next to me on a point. But i also lag cus lovely EU servers so no idea..But even then it should connect as ppl dindt dodge it at all. I guess condi war all the way up till they dont release new class. Sometimes its fun to see ppl bleeding for 2,7k/s

I am still waiting for something to be done about it. Its been a while. Theres no point to even think about an expansion for me when game is unplayable..

The olny thing that saves warrior in pve are banners for buffs. Btw am i the olny one that miss earthshaker on flat ground next to target? Cause now im not sure if its bugged or i lagg that much that it doesnt even connect.

Anyways rip sissy warrior.

Some must fight, so that all may leech.

If that costed you so much money better cancel preorder and build pc yourself.

Edit
My spec;

i5 4690k
msi z97 gaming 5
msi gtx 970
corsair vengeance 4×4gb (16gb total, 2100mhz)
samsung pro 850, 256gb – faster ssd on market
power supply chieftec nitro 850w. I believe you cant buy em anymore so grab some corsair. 650w should be enough if you dont plan to SLI

Actually dx11 makes no sense. If anything, dx12.

Hamturr. Wopps wrong section

Revenant channel the power of great legends from Guild wars past and use those to help power its abilities.. King Jalis Ironhammer is one of the legends Revenant will be able to channel and Jalis’s dwarf abilities will be available to you when you channel him. The demon Mallyx buried at the heart of the Domain of Anguish is another legend that Revenant can channel to use the power of conditions to defeat their enemies.

From Dulfy..Controling conditions..thats souund nasty. On the other hand i wonder i they will have weapon swap? Ele – light, doesnt have swap, so does engi – medium.

My body is ready.

Charr ofc.

Im done with warrior. Thats all i have to say. Been waiting for next heavy class. If they wont give us free slot i will delete warrior and i wont even feel bad about it.
In short, rip war, you wont be missed.

Bye warrior junky class. Been waiting for new heavy to arrive so now i can reroll in peace.

Crimson Clouds.4853:

Building on the previous point, what about shields? They are stowed on the back and take up a huge amount of room. If you had two weapon sets (e.g. sword/shield mace/shield) which shield would appear on the character’s back?

Lolol. Since when you have to carry 2 shields?

Its not like that backpieces doesnt clipping with weapons already. I thought about that idea few weeks ago but i can’t see them adding that anyway (cough cough lack of dual wield animations)

Xyonon.3987:

Whirling axe indeed needs a buff, a little one in dmg like 25% and projectile absrob or maybe protection for the duration. Right now it deals vs 5 targets less damage than the axe aa vs 3. Also 100b deals less damage than axe aa. Overall either buff 100b final hit by 10-20% or simply reduce the ridiculously high dps of the axe aa.

Or remove this junk hb completely as its a waste of skill space. This skill has no place in this game. I rathen use something similiar to maul with old arcing slide animation which would offer a “burst” dmg similiar to rush and buffed aa.

I dont like bladetrail either (slow boomerang that you can avoid just by strafing) . Im curious what they have did to rush anyway. In case of arcing slide they dindt wanted to overbuff it, today 50, tomorrow 60, next time it might be even 80 or 100.

As for rifle, nothing will change. Lower casttime would work if killshot was unblockable and pierce thought protection cause honestly – ppl can facetank it nowdays even if youre full zerk. On top of that youre open to attacks, cc’s and such thanks to selfroot. Everything else on rifle is still meh. No pressure, no utility, no way to kite.

Ranger lb got it right – strong aa at max range, long range mobile hb, 2 tools to kite (point blank is something that rifle needs instead of this crappy rifle butt). I see rifle as a weapon that should force ppl to come close to us otherwise it should be punishing to anyone willing to kite us over the place. Maybe one day it get there and reach level of harpoon gun.

Rashy.4165:

In addition, Windows 7 and 8 users get a free upgrade to Windows 10. Older cards will support DX12.

“There will be DX 11.1 cards that take advantage of a lot of the driver and software tech that we’re bringing in Windows 10, but if you want the full benefits of DX12, you’re going to need a DX12 card.”

http://www.polygon.com/2015/1/22/7874793/directx-12-wont-require-a-new-graphics-card-after-all

Anyways its not my problem. PS. they released today gtx 960.

That one was supposed to be a prestige armor.. But find me a charr that would wear it. Its like a man without p… in pants

Too bad charr tail have clipping issues. Othen that that its looks good. Not my style tho

I have seen that thread and if you read it you will see that there are posts that suggests exactly what I said. That the issues was with their provider rather than the servers themselves.

It is also a very tiny part of the forums that is writing there and even the part using the forums at all is minuscule.

Except my provider is fine in this situation. As i said year ago i dindt had any troubles. Its odd that the olny game that lags for me is GW. I have seen ppl ingame complaining about it as well

Lamir.6702:

Have you tried a VPN? They can help with latency or sudden lag spikes.

I tried Wtfast with no result.

Anyways going off for now.

cafard.8953:

Using port 80 rather than the traditional ‘gaming’ port solved it for me. Seems the heavy network throttling sacrifices gamers to make sure youtube works. Make a shortcut to the gw2.exe, and in your shortcut, replace the “gw2.exe” command by “gw2.exe /clientport 80”.

The game has been unplayable for me for over 3 months until i discovered this sometime in autumn, and it fixed all my lag overnight…

Will give it a try later.

lordkrall.7241:

And yet if the issue were on server-side everyone would be effected, which doesn’t seem to be the issues.

In many cases the issues seems to be localized to specific ISP with faulty lines and such.

LucosTheDutch.4819:

Which server do you play on and what country do you live in? It might not be Anet’s fault, it could be your internet or your chosen server.

Ever since I moved my connection became a lot worse, but it’s probably because the internet where I live now is just worse. Most of the time my connection is fine though especially in sPvP, dungeons and other small instances. Open-world PvE is by far the worst offender when it comes to lag and crashes.

I live in The Netherlands and I played on Tarnished Coast and now on Blackgate (both NA servers).

Poland, Gunnar Hold. And that issue is not on my end. GW2 is the olny game where i actually experience lags. If it was something with my connection then i would be lagging elsewhere (im playing fps games as well) but thats not the case. Also as i said i mostly lag during primetime. Year ago when i left this game i dindt had any issues with lags.

And lol at this forum errors “Sorry, this area isn’t available yet. Please check back later.”

Im just curious if its even going to be fixed? Whats the progress on that issue? From what i have read its been a few months already. Spvp is laggy for me almost the whole time, pve in primetime is unplayable (right now i have 3-4delays) dc’s, freezes. On top of that sometimes i get completely disconnected from the game and can’t even log back in.

AN its been over 4 months..I am not sure how long we have to wait, but its really frustrating to play this game atm

And post pic from your back now.. Yeah thats the thing. Same goes with helms that doesnt cover neck, removes horns and hairs.

They will never ever fix armor for charrs cus “not many playing that race”. Ofc not many playing charr cause their armor looks kitten. Ive already decided if they release new heavy class i will make human as i am sick of charr armors. And it seems it never change.

Its will still remain crap due to immobile hb. I honestly dont understand why that skill is still here. I reject carrying utility/secondary set just to make one skill work while everyone else can stay mobile and if not, they at least getting a secondary effects like mes invul, guard missile deflection on sword 3 etc. That skill is not fun, nor makes any sense. Try to swing so fast with such big weapon..

But why i even bother to write it here, forum users are know for loving that skill yet when i ask anyone ingame – eveyone hate hb.

JoshuaRAWR.4653:

Warrior #3 – Self rebirth effect with a guaranteed chance at rallying if you kill a target, much stronger than the other classes due to having access to all your skills for a limited time.

Wat?! Are you mentally..or idk? War has guaranteed chance at rally olny if you pick up trait. On top of that his throw hammer is single target slow projectile easy to avoid, and even if you get hit by that you can attempt to stomp war again as revenge will still be on cd. If anything wars needs a buff to his downed state more than anyone else. Srsly ppl these days..

Simon.3794:

New killshot will cause alot of rage, because no one will be used to the new cast time lol.

A lot of ppl already dont even know when to dodge killshot, some dodge right at the start of animation, and some simply facetank it as they dont except it to deal high dmg or something cus they never runned lik rifle war before – thats how popular wep choice it is..

Thats said tremor>killshot might work now but rifle needs more than this tiny buff.

I am still waiting for gs+rifle to synergy like spear+harpoon anyway.

Am i really the olny one that dislikes Jeremy music? Oh well..i guess im used too much to music from TSFH, Audiomachine etc as Jeremy music in comprasion lacks any inspiration and deep to me.

Pockets.3201:

Im so tired of Dark Gloom Death Doom Knight concepts cause people think that sort of thing is super awesome.

At least you didn’t suggest a scythe as a weapon. +100% damage vs Hay -100% against anything actually threatening. Fear me, I’m a farmer!

My dark knight is waiting for you..

Tbh the olny things mace needs is increased range on skull crack, counterblow working the same as riposte does now (block all ranged and hitting 3 targets) and cripple somewhere (i guess best solution would be to pause the block to gain adren and throw mace) .

Other than that mace is great. Maybe 1/2 casttime on crush but really its not a bad weapon…

Its another indirectly nerf to gs, just saying. Not like it ever scaled well with power anyway.

Basaltface.2786:

give me rytlocks (new) one instead kitten …

This.. :<

ZudetGambeous.9573:

I tried being nice.. but the hate of the other races as driven me to the dark side… my character has become a servant of Mordy now…

You missing red eyes.

4 times, 3 coats.

Or i will be stuck in t3 4ever?

At some point i can imagine that expansion being placed in gemstore..

Im just curious..whats about new rytlock armor? Will it make it way to gemstore?

KIll all sylvari. KILL EM ALL! Finally! Death to saladsss!

As in thread.

Jzaku.9765:

Scoobaniec.9561:

Lol, these pants fits t3 light perfectly.

Ya mean that really expensive Cultural armourset exclusively for Charr that somehow still has tail clipping 2 years after launch?

Yeah it does look pretty nice but I’m not a fan of headgear that removes your hair for no reason lol

Yeah that one..

Lol, these pants fits t3 light perfectly.

Well im not sure if someone suggested it already but whats about non swapable weapons like ele, engi (actually it makes sense, ele is light and engi is medium) with f1-4 skills choices but based on ini points instead of cd like ele? And then we can go down this line;

F1 – Generally a melee line
F2 – Nearly pure ranged line based on chaos/dark magic w/e you want to call it
F3 – Curses (slighty similiar to necro)
F4 – More likely a protective/support line

F3 – Now what curses would do? I would like to see it as high risk high reward line.

You would put conditions on yourself in exchange of removing boons from foe (that part sounds like a necro right?) but also draining yours own hp in exchange of enhanced abilities – like i will take 5k hp off me but some of my telegraphed skills will deal 5k hp to enemy no matter what if i land it/or hit 50% stronger. Note that its just an example how it would work.

F4 – i see it something along the lines like for example; surround yourself in dark aura deflecting projectiles and blinding nearly foes. And tbh i would add invis in this line as well (short one) by creating combo field (f4) and finisher (f1).

Its ok, i know it won’t happen anyway:)

I just wanted to jump in and say while i do use rifle with gs in wvw that weapon is pretty much a tra.. as it does have 0 utility, lackluster dmg outside of volley, killshot (hf landing one) and 0 synergy with any other weapon.

Its also getting outranged even by lb warrior untrained rght now due to the nature of arrows – they do not dissapear unlike missiles from rifle, instead they just flying till they drop on ground thus 1000range in game for warrior lb results in about 1250 real, and 1500 for ranged results in about 1800. That is simply wrong.

I personally agree with giving extra ranga up to 1500 when trained (crack shot trait) but honestly it won’t help much. I suggest to take a look at our harpoon skills and how well it synergy with spear (opposition to gs+rifle on land).

Rifle needs an overhaul its the worse weapon warrior has and thus noone uses it except maso….s like me. And killshot itself really needs a shorter cast animation and probably removed selfroot along with that.

Spear underwater “1” for guards gives me kitten. I am against for throwing weapons that magically returns back to you from nowhere. For that reason i also dislike warrior bladetrail (boomerang srsly?)
