Guild Wars 2

i dont know if it was already said but….i think it will be possible to buy the legendary armor. the reason for that are pvp and wvw players, just like now, if you dont want to craft your legendary you can buy it

i know that the new legendary weapons are acc bound , which is terrible for pvp /wvw players because they cant buy it and i dont think that they will make the armor acc bound too.

And if they make it acc bound, im preatty sure a huge kittenstorm will be coming how legendary armor is only available for pve players and doesnt align with the rest of the availabilty of skins ingame

ps: werent legendarys first acc bound too and after major complaiment from pvp players they made them sellable ? i cant really remember

i think most people dont team up with others because they dont know any other decent pvp players and until now they didnt need to party up with others for pvp so their fl is empty

when im waiting for queue i always see things like “lfm div3 pvp” in mapchat and i think thats sad, because asking in mapchat is not a way to find a group for pvp but also no one is using the lfg tool for that , dunno why…

imo the best thing would be to get an option that if you win the game you can decide if you want to stay with the team and queue as a team for the next match, like it was in gw1. that way you can make new buddies just for pvp and you know that theiy are decent at their division

i would not mind, in a normal teamfight the cc is huge, i mean a necro alone can make it imposible to stomp or cleave with just 1-2stacks of stability, fear mark , fear from ds skil 3, warhorn 4, elite shout…only an ele with obsidian flesh can truly safe stomp in a teamfight

so yeah , i would not mind to reduce cc from every skill to max 1 target, maybe elite skils to 2 targets

at least play condi war..

im currently in t3 legendx1 and my queue times are 3-15min , depending on what time i queue up on EU

and i have to say i had the most close and balanced matches in legend and last tier of diamond, so im really not a fan of expanding the pip range, only the guys in last tier of diamond should play with legends

i think the only obvious problem is the lack of legend players, but that doesnt mean that everyone should be pushed to legend, its just a matter of time, im sure in 1-2 weeks more ppl are going to be legend

would be interessting to know how many people are legendary in each region, i would guess that right now , maybe 100-150 players are legendary on EU, so that is really not much

100% soloq until t5 diamond, than had some duo queues, where i lost more then i won , then soloqed again and got to legendary, as long as you play a class that can carry you can get legendary in a week or two (i played as ele)

moa was fine on a 180sec cd, now with f5, its not

if your whole class depends on one or two skills to be usefull or not than you are in a sad state, but im pretty sure helseth and any other decent mesmer already stated that

i would nerf only moa to 6s duration, but i guess thats a l2p, i should avoid that moa out of stealth Kappa

the 5 things i would like to see changed:

1. population imbalance
2. better rewards to trade BoH for
3. autoloot (im sure i lost atleast one pre because i was killed before i could loot…)
4. rework Bls, i hate the verticaly in them, falling to death should be a EotM thing
5. remove the guild gimmicks (emergency wp, doors not getting dmg from players etc.)

Dream Shake.8741:

High division? You know that everyone is within 15 pips of each other right? They were only a little higher than you but you had 2 duo-queues vs full solo queuers which should even it out if not give you a sizable advantage.

try again

this is a strange one , it should not happen that a full premade face pugs only, you should send that to evan, screen,date and time the match was held

well achivments/title/legendary backpack are the only carrot you get if you dont do pvp because you like it

darres.8203:

I got no problem going up against higher divison players
i can handle 1 or 2, no big deal

but when u put all the kittenters on 1 team

I cry

pretty kittening obvious you’re stacking it, anet
how is this “OK” conceptually?

first screen: you are 13pis away from diamond and as far as i remember the range of the ppl you can play against/with goes up to 15pips, that means that the diamond players were propably all new diamond or had only one or two pips

second screen: you are in a party with ruby players , that means the system sees you as a ruby player too,or to be exact, it puts you in the same division as the highest ranked player in your party and the reason you play against diamond is propably the same as i explained for screen one

we need a soloq, its obvious that 99% of the premades that queue together do it to farm fast to legendary and dont care about “competitive” matches and anet doesnt give a kitten about it, they are like “join a group or die trying”

i have heard many times that we dont have the population to seperate soloq and teamq, but you know what ? if this kitten continues there will be no population left by the end of the year

soloq´er are the vast majority of the player base and its in anets best interesst not to kitten them over hust becasue of a few premades

and dont even get me started on esports..

did you try joining a community ts and doing it on a organized map ? thats how i did it before it was nerfed, now its even possible with pugs as long as someone writes in map “next cc phase at xx:xx, come to the pads”

melcor.1094:

No words about what happens atm in ranked, serious anyone think its fine?

dont forget , there are as many people with 20+ losestrike as are with 20+ winstrike

im on the side with the winstrikes but i also play bunker ele which can carry a match

Zodryn.4216:

Vanilla Thief, zerk, P/P, signets. You have extremely predictable burst and nothing else. You will die to a light breeze and contribute less than a single DH trap. Improve yourself and change your build before blaming match making.

^this, i mean even if you dont have HoT, at least play the old thief meta before hot , d/p

Kythan Myr.4719:

First I’m glad to see necros getting some attention. However, is anyone else thinking it’s a bit ridiculous in PvP with all the necros? I like necros, so this is not a hate thread, but I’m just asking for honest opinions.

I play PvP every day and it seems so different, I had 2 matches today where 6 or more of the 10 players were necros.So there must have been some change to warrant this, because it’s not been this crazy before.

In the past 2 days I have not been able to play a match without 20+ minions and reaper shrouds pulled off at the last minute before the last of their HP vanishes, just to be about full when the shroud ends. Again to all the sensitives here, not hating here, I know that there’s been crazy stuff before which eventually settles out somehow.

the change from season one is diamond skin got nerfed, in season one ele countered necro 100%, as a necro it was literly imposible to kill a decent ele in a 1v1. Now that diamond skin got nerfed there is no heavy counter for necros anymore

does the matchmaking even consider the class you are on ? im not sure about that and even if it would, its useless as long as you can change char while you wait for the match to start

just a friendly reminder to the devs, we still need it guys, i dont know about you but i dont want to face teams of 3-4 premades, not even duoque , i just want all soloq´er to play vs each other , cant be to much asked right ?

i dont care how good or bad these premades are , ist just kittening sad that you claim to be a esports game and cant even seperate teams vs solo players

ps: i dont care if my waiting time goes from 2min to 5min, still better then faceing premades

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/PvP_Build , check this out , you dont use the same eq in pvp as in pve

i think that the bug has something to do with removal/ignoric cc or imob, when i play on my ele with diamond skin i often happend to see that when i get hit by imob that would last 3-4 sec and then the imob gets remove by diamond skin , i still cant move, its like the game still thinks that the imob is there , not realising that it got removed by the trait

and if you are not fast enough to typ /sit or /dance then you die because you cant dodge or do anything..

NiloyBardhan.9170:

From what I understood, you will lose 1 pip whether you lose 0-500 or 499-500 in a match. In other words, in a PuG party once you’re down by ~100 points its a GG for your team since there would be no benefit of making the match close anymore.

if thats true then its a bad change, last season i often saw in teamchat things like:
“guys even if we lose , lets score as much as possible so maybe we wont lose a pip”

and i think that was a good thing , i remember how when i faced proleagues players and i knew its unlikely that i win, but at least i can try to score as much points as possible to not lose a pip, or maybe even gain one , even if i lose

and if that is not possible anymore then i am sure ALOT of players will just stay in the base once the score hit 300-100, saying things like “well we lost anyway, doesnt matter how many points we score”

i didnt pay atention to that but what i can confirm is that after a taunt i cant move, i have to either use a movement skill or /dance, i think its not often reported because almost no ranger use taunt anymore

anyway what i want to say, after taunt you cant move anymore, would be nice if someone can confirm its not only happening to me

Radian.2478:

I don’t see a problem with Anet wanting you to actually have to play on the profession that you want the elite spec on

its not about the elite spec its about buying siege

i think its already well know that elite spec is easier done in pve then wvw, just from the first two HoT zones you can unlock 80% of your elite solo,running from one HP to another, without killing a champ, and if you do it with a friend/guild member , you can unlock your whole elite spec in about 1-2 hours. i know it because thats how i unlocked all elite specs on my chars

FogLeg.9354:

Same thing has been proposed for long time now (and I am in EU tier 8, previously in tier 9, so I know how empty these are). I think it has not been implemented by now for 3 main reasons:

• it would mean Anet admits HoT was a failure (at least for WvW, not going to argue about PvE atm) and they really don’t want to get that sort of tag.

• the people left in empty servers are the ones who have had 3 years to transfer off. And yet, they havent. Its not about having free transfer or not, its because these players love their server. What you are suggesting is they abandon everything they worked hard for last 3 years and start to fight for some other server they dont care about, or in worse case, the server they have been fighting against many months and have grown to hate.

• there is no reason to believe server merges (or reductions or deletions) actually increase WvW population. I believe for example that players in bronze league will not continue playing once bronze league is eliminated, they just quit the GW2. The people who “just want some action” are doing PvP or have already transfered away long time ago.

actualy i know alot of people that stay on their server because its to expensive to transfer, i think it costs 1800gems to transfer to a t1 server, which is alot of gold for most people, when my server was on rank 13-14 i also wanted to transfer to a t1 server and the only thing that kept me from doing that was the high transfer fee

and about merging servers, depends how many are even active, i mean if a server in the bronze league has like 100 core players, it doesnt really mater if they spread across gold and silver league

(anyone from bronze league can corrent me here and tell me what the avarage player numbers are on ts or how many run around with the zerg)

maybe thats why anet doesnt do it , they have the numbers and they know that the lower bracket servers has so few players that even if they close the servers the few players that are on it would not make a difference

its always good to be decent at other classes when your main class is getting nerfed

for example i had a friend that mained thief, which is kind of bad in the current meta so it was no suprise that his winrate went downhill and because he could not play any other class he stoped playing gw2 alltogether , last time he loged in was 1-2 month ago, hope he comes back when the thief is getting buffed next patch

i for example main ele but also have a decent amount of games on thief and rev, so if ele is getting nerfed next patch i will switch to thief or rev

well i guess anyone who spends most of the time of his life with gaming wont look at the keyboard, i grew up with a pc in my room so i can write /play without looking at the keyboard , its like muscle memory, but i think thats absolutly normal if you use the pc for at least 10-12 hours a day like in my case for playing and for work

imo what druids need are nerfs to their OP HoT pets, that are doing 90% of their dmg

second time i get such a matchup , first time i lost 500-20 and now i won 500-100, the only diference is that in the first matchup i also had one amber guy in my team , this time i was the only scrub in the team

so do i have some kind of sick mmr or whats going on here

no word about cele amulet ? mkay i guess its balanced when all other amulets combined are used less..

you mean the meta achivment right ? you can do one (or more) of the achivments that are endlessly repetable, that counts toward the meta, i for example did the bell choir ensemble, 30 times bell choir is much easier then drinking 10k

dunno man , are you looking at the right time ? do you got a timer? because its useless to look for a taxi when ds started an hour ago , or then tarir just ende half an hour ago.

for ds i also set a timer and i start looking for taxis 10min before the new maps are created, for td i only use community ts, so there is always a set time of the day we do it and for tarir its enough if you look for a taxi while the challanges are up

if you just want to do some events just tag up and you will quickly have 10~ ppl follow you, i always do that in tarir when im bored and want 200% participation for the meta

Azure.8670:

Its seriously starting to bother me. Ive taken two 4-6 month breaks in my 3+ years of gw2, and I dont want to do it again, but I cant seem to play any of my other games while I play gw2, it just consumes too much time. I have a solid 8 games I want to catch up on… but I feel like im cheating on gw2 whenever I turn another one on. I know this sounds crazy but I cant be the only one

i know these feeling, two years ago or so i bought bioshock and tom raider and i was really looking forward to play them but when i had them i played maybe 10 hours each and then suddenly i forgot about them. all my free time i spend on gw2 without even thinking of the other two games until a week later or so i saw a commercial on tv and i thought “oh yeah right, i still have that game”.

time just fly when i play gw2, a bit of daily pvp, bit of brainless zerging in wvw, some fractals and suddenly i spend 4-5 in gw2 and the day is over and i dont have time for the other games..

ps: i think i might reinstall steam now and download both games, because now that im thinking of them i want to try playing them again and also for me its kind of boring right now in gw2 (finally i guess)

i think i know the problem, you are queueing for stronghold only ? i dont even have it as an option , i queue only for contest, like my whole guild and almost everyone on my fl

you should try queueing for both, i will bet you will even get lower queues then most of us because we only queue for contest

Seyiwaji.4082:

Build with toughness, were always strong build in pvp.
Your frustration about people having toughness is unjustified. Now it just requires skill to beat your enemies, and try to burst at the right moment and not random skill chain combo. It requires skill to decap or cap against people being able to hold point.

Amulet diversity:
We have so many amulets in pvp, but before HOT and those patch. They were just useless. People used to play with berserk or cele or rabit. 70% of the amulets were just useless. Now this is different, more amulets are used.

In the past you were just called trash or not acknowledge to use other Amulets than Berserk. There were and still are classes which don’t really benefit from Berserk amulet, but were almost forced to use it.

Reaction to High Damage:
Playing berserk really really give you a High damage output.
So high that people, have to use some toughness not to die. The damage is High in the game.

You called for so much useless nerf because everybody were fixed on playing some glass build. Now you just suffer from your own cry and cry more. Because you may lack of damage.

Pvp is and were never a place to come and just burst people in 2 sec. This time was wrong and happily is gone.

All this crying about meta bunker is ridiculous.

ehhhh actualy that exatly how pvp worked most of the time in gw1, my favorite build was rspike …3…2…1….BOOM, dead if the monk didnt saw it coming

edit: was also alot more fun for me then the current pvp where you stand on points

a nice list of suggestions but i highly doubt anet will put them to work, as we all know from a reddit theard anet already has plans for a major wvw overhaul and the worst part is, they didnt ask us anything about it

anet will again put their great ideas into the game and it will be terrible, as long as they dont ask us what we want and they think ideas from devs that are cuasuals and play maybe twice a week one hour are good, it will never be good

at the very least they should ask for a list of 10 things the community wants in the maje overhaul and at least implement 5 of them, i know alot of things the community want would break the balance in wvw or the economy, wvw will never be as good as pve farming for gold income, but there are also alot of very good ideas that would drasticly imporve the wvw experience

Sviel.7493:

Yeah, the cost for superior siege is pretty crazy. I think they might be hoping to incentivize using guild siege since their master plan is to make WvW more guild focused. Unfortunately, the cost of making guild siege is also a punch in the gut.

What seems really strange, though, is that it costs less badges to buy 2 regular blueprints and make a superior blueprint in the forge…then it also costs proofs of heroics. What, exactly, is the benefit?

benefit is , no mats (mithril/wood) and shards of …. whatever needed, which no one really cares , but hey , you saved a few silver and some shards

bro do you ever pull ? i have done this on my cele d/d ele (didnt had tempest unlocked at that time yet), pulled 4-5 mobs at same time and killed them and then pulled again 4-5 mobs, sure it takes time but its easy

maybe a full group would be able to jump in and kill all of them at the same time, would be fun to watch

focus because the current legendary focus is ugly asf, all weapons on my ele are legendary except focus

(warhorn never happend, that bs doenst exist, still waiting for sword for my ele)

Morningstar.2934:

“During the night, use the Celestial Cartographer’s Gear in the Ossan Quarter of Divinity’s Reach”

Does anyone have any information on where in Ossan Quarter this is? While running around during in-game night time throughout the whole Ossan Quarter multiple times clicking away on the gear item, nothing seems to trigger it, including not the vista, nor the path of the tour guide.

If anyone can share info on this, thank you.

should be infront of the statue as you can see on the screen , make sure its really night time and not dusk/dawn

Trajan.4953:

The Proofs of Heroics that were a currency that now are no longer one is an issue for me.

Dear beloved Arena Net… I AM PLAYING YOUR kittenING GAME!!!!

What does it matter if I am driving on my MAIN toon in order to bump another class I may or may not want to play???

You can do this in SPVP why not anywhere else?

Seriously though, do I really have to go through PVE areas that I have tried and I just don’t enjoy to get to par, or even worse. Do I have to try and compete in the only gamemode of yours I really enjoy (wvw) at a subpar level to finally got to something that may or may not be something I like???

i read somewhere a dev saying that they want you to spend some amout of time on a class before you could use elite spec

for example i made a necro because i want the gs you get from the collection and pushed him to 80 with tomes, now if i could use the proofs of heroics that i got with my main to finish the elite spec i would have an lvl 80 reapoer without knowing any skills of him…

so i understand why anet doesnt like that, but anyway i would love them to be acc bound to push all the clases to 80+elite spec because i care only about the skins and not about the classes

what exatly are you using all your badges for ? i have like 30k sitting around, i already have elite spec on 7/9 chars and the other two i dont even care about

are you upgrade siege to sell ? i tried it once with a few thousand badges, but its the most boring and unrewarding thing ever, i rather run in circle in sw for an hour then standing infront of the mf

i am still disapointed that with HoT we didnt get new rewards that you can buy with badges, maybe next year…

you are playing ele without focus, that explains alot, like almost everything, you need the focus , warhorn is useless as kitten

you know i really wonder why they dont hotfix such things like the sheet of aurilium, dont they care enough that alot of players are stuck at that collection right now ? i have seen alot of hotfixes for pvp related stuff , seldom for pve. Its like pve players can wait a week or two until they continue their stuff, its not that important as pvp.

Lets hope and pray that they will fix it tomorrow, if they dont then we have to wait another 2 weeks for the possible fix.

everytime somone says " war sucks" these guys should remember how ranger sucked , so get over it and reroll, maybe war will be usefull in half a year , do you guys honestly think there wil be a time where a class wont suck major balls compared to the rest ? if YOU main the class that currently sucks , though luck , reroll and wait for buff and think of the poor rangres, how long they were useless

sephiroth.4217:

There’s nothing legendary about that, it wouldn’t even feel satisfactory to make.

it never was, you could simply get your credit card and buy one from the tp , its your choice

it was always like “oh that guy grindet alot” or “oh that guy used his credit card” it was never anything legendary about legendarys , but at least you had the choice to do what you want and you werent forced to wait months for a skin you want

you know guys , its a difference if you CAN farm all day and buy all stuff from tp and make your legendary in a week, or if you are forced to wait , even if you have all to gold of the world but you CANT craft it because you have to wait and that is simply bad design , forcing someone to wait is the worst you can do

its up to each of you if you farm 1 hour or 10 a day , if you are causual or hardcore , its your choice but with the new legendarys you dotn have a choice anymore

i have 5 oldscholl legendary, for one i took 8 months to make and for another i took 1month of summer break grinding to make, it was my choice how fast i finish the legendary

if i want to make astralia , i have to wait 50 day minimum because of the carged quartz, i dont have a choice and it doesnt matter how much gold i have and thats the problem

i could propably make astralaria as a side project while i farm for one oldschool legendary , and that is kittening sad anet , that a legendary is a side project which i dont need to speend more then maybe an hour per day

edit i foud it , at a vendor in tarir , but he doenst sell it to me because i dont have the mastery…which is bullkitten because i do have all masterys, so i guess its a bug and i cant buy it

there is only one thing you can do , try again and again, im pretty sure that over the weekend its always full, everyone play until late night, you should try today or someother day during the week in the middel of the night when most ppl sleep because they have work next day and hope its not full

BrotherBelial.3094:

Sekai.2987:

i agree that its annoying and i also liked the old version better , and the fact that its not one dialog you can press skip is terrible , i know that on some missions in HoT you can simply ignore the talking npc and run ahead and they will stop talking and follow you, but most mission have “walls” that only the npc can take down so you have to wait for the npc to finish his talking before you can go on and that is annoying as hell

anet pls, let us skip the talking and remove the walls that only npc can take down , listening once to them is more then enough

But that’s the same for any rpg game. In everyone we have to wait for an BOX to do something, it’s called storytelling.

yeah and thats fine for the first time you are doing the mission , but for the second time there has to be an skip option, its annyoing to hear the same dialog over and over again , i have done the HoT story on 3 charaters because i wanted that ley line gear you get as reward for collections and it was extremly annoying to have to wait for the npc and listen to the dialog again
