No love for condition builds?

in Suggestions

Shintai.5618

I think people also forget that condition damage is very easy to remove.

I did some extensive calculations via excel. And It seems very very few builds besides the very extreme makes sense at all.

Conditions bypass toughness, but condition cant crit and got very bad scaling. Not to mention the time it takes were the other player can either heal or remove the condition.

Toughness is vastyly inferiour to Vitality for the same reason.

So now we are alrady down to Power/Precision/Vitality/Healing/Critical Damage builds. When you big even deeper down to the current stats on gear. You either go full Berserker or Valkyrie due to the benefits of going extreme.

How to fix it is up to Anet. But we need the stats shuffled more. Not to mention the effects one one another.

Conditions needs to be able to crit and scale with power. Critical Damage bonuses needs to be lowered perhaps for gear. Vitality vs Toughness also needs to be looked at. Toughness is basicly only worth it against some hardcore PvE boss mobs.

Basicly the OP asks for the server to be only up between 18 and 22 when most people can play. We dont want to have a minor population somewhere!

This is what i feared. because I saw plenty of IOJ people hack and cheat as well. Only way to beat the cheater is to cheat yourself. Its a negative feedback cycle. personally I withdrew from WvW this week due to hacks from all sides. Its completely out of control.

EvE still lags too.

Sometimes you cant throw enough money after it to solve it. If Anet bought the fastest Xeons there is. Then thats that. All they can do is to wait for the next generation to come. Alternatively they can optimize the code, but if thats been done too then you are also out of luck there.

If you can get better framerates/less lag lowering GFX settings. Then its simply a client issue. Basicly too puny hardware.

If the lags happens at the same rate nomatter what you do. Its a serverside lag.

Servers do tend to lag quite badly now and then, both PvE and PvP.

WvW Exploits

in WvW

Posted by: Shintai.5618

Shintai.5618

Hehe sorry I got my own guild But send me a mail in game and we can chat.

Basically we just AOE attacked there trebs from the walls and it is 100% impossible to hit the trebs in there overlook keep because the trebs are too far back.

This is an exploit for a few reasons….

1. It keeps stomemist contested 24/7 and you can never stop it. So this makes it an exploit, unable to stop them contesting a waypoint 100% of the time? Yeah exploit…

2. They are keeping the wall at 0% health all the time because of these trebs and we have no way to stop them. We can not even target those trebs that far back in there base.

3. They just keep building more, 4-5 of them inside the base and they drop a wall in minutes with no way to counter…..that can not be intended gameplay for WvW….

4. 24 hr server transfers are crap and need to be removed for WvW. Players are sending there guild member to another server for a few days to exploit and take supply and waste enemies supply from there towers and keeps forcing enemy team to lose.

5. There using server transfers to cause trolling in team chat, make teams become dis organised, start giving mis information and wrong intel so the enemy can attack one thing and have us be at another location….

6. There are too many more exploits to list with this….

Arena Net please address these issues.

Couldnt have said it better. Also for server transfers you should get a 7 days qurantine to PvE only.

After excessive testing this is how it works for me. I tested with dual pistols on my thief.

Fire sigil on one, Ice sigel on the other. They dont share colddown so they can freely proc. Using offhand skills trigger one proc, using main skills the other.

It might be different for other classes or other weaponsets.

One of the garrison keep gates are directly fail at tier 2. You even fall through the floor above the gate. And you can run past the gate.

But with that said, exploits are so common today. I am on Fort Aspenwood and I seen a few fellow people there cheat and even admit it in map talk. Because Anet does nothing as they say.

One of the problems with keeps and towers is the limited and weak guards. You can upgrade them to lvl82 plus add an extra guard. The issue here is that some people can easily solo for example 4 of these guards together. Much more guards, up to lvl85 maybe? Silver guards in between. option for upgrading armour and weapons. Just like you could in DAoC. Guards there wasnt just a slight anoyance.

Orbs giving the winning team too much of an advantage.

I have said it before, Orbs should only give PvE bonuses.

Glasscannon builds can for example get up to 50% more health with Orbs. Thats pretty OP in itself.

Speed hacks in WvW?

Some of the things you see may be a result of client side code prediction failure. TO make things looks smooth, clients sometimes use prediction where a model will be, while waiting for the server to confirm it. This causes the famous rubber-banding, where you run forward, because the client lets you do so, but then the server corrects that, and you get pushed back. This can also cause someone to appear to run through things, only because your client was not informed about his actual position yet. I can imagine that a similar thing could happen when a player uses some kind of haste skill, and your client is not informed that he stopped using it, so the player keeps speeding across your screen. Don’t know if that’s the case, but it seems possible.

Just search youtube for GW2 and speedhack. And you wouldnt write what you did :P

Orbs should only give PvE bonuses.

3 orbs gives 150 vitality aka 1500 health plus 15% health on top. Thats pretty much, specially for glasscannons that can almost get a total of 50% more.

Well we even have people teleporting or fly right into the citadel inaccessible areas from outside. And even people in our own maptalk says they cheat too. Its getting to the point were people obviously dont care because there aint a penalty. And I guess Anet cant catch them.

Speaking about fair play : Flyhack and orbs

in WvW

Posted by: Shintai.5618

Shintai.5618

People used flyhacks since early september. But unlike the speedhack, teleport hack and so on. They started to use it in front of people as well. The people using them starts to grow in numbers, but also in terms of taking more risks when nobody gets banned.

Some people just dont care really about being banned either. Else we wouldnt see so many cheaters in all games, not only GW2.

Speedhack is still the number uno exploit tho. Most likely because it can be set as a percentage so its harder to notice that someone just runs 10-20% faster than the highest speed should be. Other just yank it up to 300%+ tho.

You can still place siege weapons in places you can never touch as the opposite side. Its another glitch by Anet.

You should never be able to launch siege from safeplaces or from tower/keep to another.

Mesmer portals?

I am not sure why Anet gave mesmers this tool, its basicly being abused so hard it hurts. not to mention those mesmers that uses hacks to get inside in the first place. Either fly/teleport hack and then portal others in. Or using some of the gate exploits.

And then there is the rendering issue as told, it just makes it even worse.

I can now confirm that you can pass the gate without entering it. There are enough parts you can walk past to pass the gate as an enemy or friend without using the entrance.
