Guild Wars 2

Bunzy.8674:

Yes I know many threads have been said about this and for that I am sorry with starting another one, however with that said the problems still haven’t been fixed and its about that time the issue needs to be readdressed again.

Current Problems:

1. This is a relatively new problem which is linked with the downed state. As soon as people get downed they are logging off. This needs to be addressed. Many ideas on how to fix this have already been mentioned.

2. Downed people still have way too much health. If you can’t get the channel to kill them they roughly take about 6-10 hits to kill off this is way to much considering you have already downed them. Health needs to be reduced drastically so about 3-5 hits finishes off an opponent.

3. Channel takes too long. When are you downing someone it takes about 2-3 seconds to channel a spell that is often interrupted or you are focused fired during the process. Which means you will have to do this again which makes it about 3-6 seconds you are stationary channeling a skill trying to finish an opponent who is already downed. It is way to long. I would say reduce the channeling time to about 1 second and make it so quickness buffs have no affect.

4. Certain classes defensive abilities are too strong. Every class should only have 1 interrupt on them max. So if you have two downed players channeling you, you are going to die which is fair enough. Right now Mesmers, Thieves and Elementalists are able to stop any amount of people trying to down them once and in some cases twice. Example- You could have 20 people (if the game allowed it) channeling a downed state and a simple use of one skill could stop them all. This is very bad game mechanics and needs to be addressed. I will fix this by getting rid of any stealth or movement (invulnerable abilities) while downed and just make it so you only get one interrupt per profession.

5. People are revived way too fast. If you are doing a 3v1 and down one if the other 2 focus on healing the guy who is downed it is literally impossible for you to down/out damage them. I would suggest that the healing done needs to be reduce by a drastic amount perhaps 50% and make it so it doesn’t scale that much with extra people perhaps 5% extra per person.

EDIT:
6. Rallying off npcs also needs to be addressed as this shouldn’t be the case in WvW.

Anyways these are the major issues that the downed state is having right now. Thank you for reading and I hope ANET write back an official response on how they see it and if they expect to make any changes in the future.

In your opinion

Someone from Yak’s Bend complaining about zerging…. that’s ironic.

Totally! The Yaks invented the zerg and if all the other servers don’t stop using it we will be forced to have them banned from the game.

Yes they are. Their mechanics are unlike any other class, hence making them unacceptable. Argue all you want, but there are reasons the Contra VS Donkey Kong game was never released.

No, I’m sure there is someone else as well

I don’t use grenades or bombs like most Engi’s. Condition damage and survivability. People whack at me while my psycho teammates tear them to shreds.

Here’s from another thread though …. might be the issue, might not.

I had the same problem last evening …. Ended up with 9 ruined ore from my Ori nodes before I noticed the problem. I ONLY use Orichalcum tools.

Has anyone seen this combo on any level 80 items? I guess I was just hoping there was a karma vendor or something I’ve missed as I have never seen this stat combination.

The stack of Mystic salvage kits gained from the Mystic Fountain says account bound in the description, but is acting soulbound.

Don’t be greedy and it’s a non issue

Mostly because people want free stuff and don’t know how to just have fun. If I were to design the halloween event I’d make the clock tower a gentle slope topped by a chest with 300 GP inside. It would also be infinitely repeatable and take only 10 seconds (I hope that isn’t too long for the sensitive folks out there). Then I’d have the mad king give everyone hot chocolate and poop out exotics and halloween skins as he strolled around the lion statue.

The shield on my Asura is melded with his back so I can only see the center portion of it

I run P/S with a defensive build and condition damage. Everyone thinks they are going to walk all over the poor little Asura Engineer, and flail at me uselessly while my bloodthirsty friends cut them to ribbons. I’m not a hardcore gamer, so this setup keeps me from having to furiously spam attacks and ground target.

I do use grenades, mortar and radiation field when assaulting and defending keeps.

You could give everyone $1,000.00 and they still wouldn’t be happy.

Inorite??? I went to the gas station earlier and bought 8 scratch off tickets. The chances of winning are 1: 4.13. After I lost I went back, threw them in the clerk’s face and demanded my money back because I was supposed to have 2 winners and I got nothing!

Actually, new matches should start Wednesday at 6:00 PM. Because that’s pizza night and I can play while eating a hot slice of pepperoni. All other arguments for any other time are baseless and unrealistic!

I run pistol / shield and use turrets / supply crate as my slot skills. I’ve survived fights that I thought for sure I was going to lose. I like to spread my turrets out and kite mobs around due to the fact that yes, rifle and rocket turrets are made out of cardboard. But, over charging the rocket and thumper turrets knocks foes down, which when combined with the magnetic shield knockback and the time they spend running between turrets it’s usually spaced out enough that I can get my turrets out again after the cd. I’m not putting in one of those “I’m pro” segments lol, just adding in how they work for me.

Forgot to add, my engi is very defensive with a pile of condition damage.

LOL someone complained about the leveling. I’m far from a hardcore gamer, and the leveling has been faster and with more options than anything else I’ve ever played. Started with UO when the internet was first invented by Al Gore btw.

So I had enough tokens from Twilight Arbor to buy a desperately needed helm. Somehow I accidentally ended up with a heavy helm for my engineer which I cannot use. I contacted CS to see what could be done and I got a “sorry don’t screw up or you lose” message. My issue with the system is this:

1) why do I have to look at every armor available if my character can only wear medium armor

2) if I want to destroy a green item I get a warning, but if I want to buy something I CANNOT use I get nothing

3) the items are soulbound not account bound …. so if I accidentally buy the wrong piece I can’t even give it to an alt

I really don’t understand why the system punishes players for an honest mistake, or why it turns into a “you lose noob” situation when this occurs

I see a lot of posts on mortar range and people both in favor and leery of making the range longer. My suggestion for a mortar fix is to ignore downhill distance. There’s been many battles where I managed to get to a high spot over the opposing army, set up my turret, and proceeded to do nothing since everyone directly below me was out of range. I could have literally dropped the shells onto their heads.

^^
Yeah … so don’t go claiming any guilds!

I agree, they need to fix catapults and AoEs going through doors

Well good …. once they get banned you can stop complaining about it right?

Are there patterns for level 80 armor besides the standard 7? (ie clerics, carrion, berserker, etc). I was really hoping to be able to craft a set with Tough and Condition damage, but I don’t see where I have the option.

Ah we got caught red handed! We were totally sandbagging running around trying to figure out how to do W3 with our level 20 mains.
As for being siege equipment happy … guilty as charged! It’s so annoying that we spend money so we can shoot you with giant weapons isn’t it?
