Guild Wars 2

Arena Net should seriously consider reading this topic and seeing the suggestions. They got all the work done for them by the community, all they need to do is listen and apply.

People don’t realise that the enemy won’t be the only one using arrow carts. Some posts I read make me facepalm a million times over and over and over again. As if you won’t be the one that will ALSO have an arrow cart by your side.

And what’s even funnier is that people complain about zergs. Now something comes that will clear out zergs, and people complain about it.

Grow up and develop new strategies, it’s not the end of the world.

Basically this.

What you don’t understand is that PROMOTES zerging. Since there is no way you’re gonna take a keep with 20-30 people! You NEED the zerg’s supplies to “TRY” and take a keep…..

lol……i think we should all delete our characters and create arrowcarts

WTF THOSE ARROWCART ABILITIES.

I’m glad I saved my rank points up until now. I’m getting giddy just thinking about them.

I don’t care if i saved my points or not, this patch just killed WvW.

Seriously Anet needs to do a hot fix on arrowcarts and nerfing them before everyone quits the game.

WTF THOSE ARROWCART ABILITIES.

The current situation makes it that WvW becomes boring ! Just see the picture of the arrowcarts Aneu posted -.-

Very interesting read, it certainly has a lot of thought behind it, and i can’t help but agree with everything in OP suggested. Everyone knows something needs to be done to reinvigorate WvW, and I believe Aneu has very interesting suggestions.

Isn’t the 12% dmg only to warrior?

Yamsandjams.3267:

I wonder how bad some people feel losing to a solo engineer.

Why would anyone feel bad losing 1v1 to a solo engineer? Its a very solid 1v1 class. I very rarely lose a 1v1 in WvW encounters.

Can someone link me this ranger BM build? I wanna see traits etc and how they work

Warbanner res to keep lord is really stupid and op.. sometimes keep fights go on forever because its impossible to cap with people suiciding for a warbanner res..

Is it intended? Don’t think so..

Catisa.6507:

another t1 player complaining about skill lag … keep stacking more people into your server, I am sure it will get better /sarcasm.

It’s not the players problem, its the game. They dont have hardware that supports a 100vs100vs100 fight yet they allow que to fit 300 players

It will be OP if its instant

Hey guys – i’ve played Engineer since release, and i really enjoy the class, especially for small scale pvp and spvp.

However, when i’m in a guild raid in WvW, and encounter a 30vs30 fight or more, i can’t really figure out a build to be useful.

Useful options in theory and why i can’t use them:

Healing option:
Elixir gun : It is a light field, healing in WvW using Water field so it’s not that useful in large scale.

AoE Dmg option:
Flamethrower: You one shot yourself with retaliation..
Grenade Kit: One shot yourself with retaliation.

I feel my only use is fire field with bomb kit and shield 4 blast finisher..

How can i build a GOOD engineer in large scale WvW?

Warriors are REALLY good in mass fights. Spec for survivability/dmg, Knight armor/berskerker with some pvt pieces in maybe. Hammer for lots of CC and dmg.

Kill shot is so hard to hit though..dunno i don’t like rifle warrior.

And also, damage is LESS in sPvP, dunno who told u otherwise :o

hahah, it’s got a 1,500 range so i’ve been sniping, but if 1v1 i’m using bow, it has a 4s immobalize that applies 6 15s bleeds! 25s recharge! and #3 hits for around 9k in case killshot/volley, dont get the job done!

and thank you! it was a typo, i meant PvE/WvW

But still, 45-50k? That’s like impossible to hit on someone!

Maybe if hes lvl 1 wearing no armor and using frenzy… lol
Hardest i hit with kill shot is 25k~ish on upscaled guys

Kill shot is so hard to hit though..dunno i don’t like rifle warrior.

And also, damage is LESS in sPvP, dunno who told u otherwise :o

Since so many people are crying at the quickness nerf (justified crying imo), im wondering if it was OP in the first place.

So discuss!

Yeah i think a lot of people agree that getting silver from tournies or something would be awesome and add population

Well the most viable engi build imo “HGH grenades” haven’t been nerfed, so i’m not that sad.

Same problem !

Currently, sPvP population is pretty low, and this needs to be fixed in order to make sPvP bigger.

How to fix it? Make sPvP make productive! In order to mix the sPvP community with the other GW2 community, that’s how you’re gonna make the sPvP part of game bigger!

For example:

1. Make winning a a tournament give a certain amount of silver! Or any reward that benefits players outside the sPvP world !
2. Make sPvP dailies give things that benefit you outside sPvP world too, like Mystic Coin maybe or something like that !
3. Make tournament chests or chests you buy from NPCs have a chance on giving things that benefit you outside sPvP, like crafting mats or something, so players don’t feel they’re wasting their time in sPvP.

Imo. splitting the sPvP world from the gw2 world that much (as in you dont get ANY rewards for participating in sPvP) is affecting the potential of sPvP.

I asked lots of people why they don’t play sPvP, the answer was the same, no rewards!
What do you guys think?

HGH Condition Burst build (grenade kit focused)

http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?fcAQJAqalspSXHxSfF17ICoC5loHPGlNZfewWpFEC;ToAAzCpoCyUkoIbOugk5MWYKC

Copied from OstrichEggs imo one of the best engineers.

Basically ur damage comes mostly from the V trait in Explosives lines, since u crit with grenades and proc that trait.

Currently this build is one of THE best in the game.

Geshque.1326:

In my opinion Ranger is not the best class for 1v2 or 1v3. Try Guardian or Warrior. Ofcourse you can go bunker BM build and its varieties but that is not much dps and you will be able only to survive against several opponents, but not win. Consider looking through recent topics – there must be some decent builds for all demands.

I’ve seen some sword/torch or something trap rangers that did well in such situations, however im really new to ranger class (still lvl 1 wanna try him in sPvP first)

Hello guys

I’m looking to start playing ranger, and i want a good build that u can 1v1 with, or maybe even 1v2/1v3

Im a big fan of condi builds, but i wouldnt mind a power/tanky build as long as it’s good in these situations. (im a fan of small scale PvP)

Thanks!

It is available and it is called “Knight” gear, with Power/Preci/Tough stats.

It is obtainable through the Trading Post(as it is craftable): Filter Lvl 80 Exotic Armor and scroll through the list.

It is also obtainable through dungeon tokens. Go to Lions Arch, near the portals at the bottom there are several NPCs, each NPC represents a dungeon, and each dungeon has different stat gear, scroll through them.

Skill lag without a doubt

Skill lag THE absolute worse thing i encountered in this game tbh, culling is bad yeah but it doesnt come close to skill lag imo.

Fuzzion.2504:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/Decrease-lag/first#post1665161

Tbh this isn’t really a reply on the Skill Lag problem, they just said that culling changes will not affect them.

We want a reply if this is going to be fixed anytime soon because most of the people i know are REALLY annoyed by it.

Habib Loew.6239:

…..They are fundamentally different problems that will need different solutions.

Is Arena-net fixing skill-lag problem anytime soon? If not you’re gonna have empty borderlands when everyone quits.

playandchill.3908:

When the 3 servers are in SM.

I hide my butt and press skill #1

Well the problem is even #1 stops working.. lol

Sacrx.6721:

I also don’t believe in coincidences. There was this insane lag exactly same now with the 1 week trial period of the new culling. Now we have the new culling and ever since then there has been skill delay. so 3 weeks -1 month

Yeah exactly this.

Xavi.6591:

Guesting has nothing to do with WvW.

It’s been around forever.

I played the game since release haven’t experience skill lag the way it is right now.

Sully.9453:

It’s been around for more than a month. Try since beta. Large fights in stonemist are notorious for this.

Yes but it is MUCH worse this month, i dunno if it’s because of guesting for some reason (i dont understand how Anet server work and if PVE affects PvP).

What do i mean by skill lag? If you haven’t experienced it before, it happens in large fights that your skills DON’T work.

Skill lag is making the game totally UNPLAYABLE in high tiers, it only started about a month ago, we had huge fights before but never had this much skill lag.

Can we get an official reply on what is going on and if we are getting a fix for it in the next patch? If this continues, many WvW players are going to quit the game.

(I am speaking for EU servers, duno how it is in NA)

Good news, however, the main issue with WvW imo. is skill lag, hope they fix that asap as it’s making large fights impossible

Black Ice Spain.9753:

People claiming about skill in WvW…. this is a teamplay game, it requires nearly 0 skill… go play some RTS and come back (real ones, not LoL which is not a RTS).

Lag sucks yeah, but there is almost no culling right now, i think they r testing/changed sumthing

It requires skill to teamplay correctly though

Hello,

Firstly i am from Bahrain, i country in the middle east, and playing in “Seafarer’s Rest” EU international server.

I have been playing Gw2 for some time now, and I am very frustrated at the latency i’m getting. When connecting to EU servers in games like LoL, i get a stable 150~ ping, however, when i play GW2, i get 400 ping which is really unplayable, on a good day, i get 220~ ping.

My question is, why is it that when i play LoL or any other game on EU server, i get 150~ ping, but when playing GW2, i get 400 ping?

Am i getting routed to US server then EU for some reason? Currently it is killing the game for me, and i hope to get an answer.

I’ve noticed a lot of engis mixing power and condition damage in their builds, may i ask why? Personally i run Rabid, and i don’t believe i’m losing damage since a very big part of Engis damage is condition dmg, is it worth it dropping toughness for power ?

I don’t believe that we depend on direct dmg in our condi builds, except maybe Grenade Kit condi build, and even in that build i’d prefer more toughness over power.

Anyone care to explain to me ^^? Might change my mind on the subject

Really bad lag, its currently unplayable at the moment for me, i can’t even be bothered to do my daily, really hope something is fixed soon as it’s really frustrating and killing the game for me at the moment. Hope we get an official reply soon

What is this sandwich you’re talking about?

Because why not?

I dnt play sPvP much, but as a roamer in WvW, I like my engi over thief, warr and guardian

Really excited for this week! GL and HF all ^^

Intigo.1653:

“Pry Bar: Increased the number of confusion applications from three to five and increased duration of confusion from 3 to 5 seconds.”

This is the single-most idiotic buff ever.

Although i’m an Engi, i kind of agree it might be a little too strong now, but hey i ain’t complaining :P

(They nerfed our kit refinement though, imagine having ur Evasive Arcana on 10sec internal CD)

Why dont they apply internal cooldown to dodging arcana for Eles ?

Kit Refinement: This trait now has an internal cooldown of 10 seconds globally for Flamethrower, Elixir Gun, Grenade Kit, and Tool Kit.

Dunno what Anet were thinking about…

Hello guys,

i’m no to Ele, just hit 80 and wondering what gear to get ( i have access to enough karma, badges and gold)

I will probably run the usual D/D trait setup, and im wondering what armor/trinkets/weapon to get?

I was thinking of

1. PVT Armor, Knight trinkets(with berserker jewels)

2. PVT armor with Berserker Trinkets/Jewels.

What stats would i have on each ? (if anyone has them on or something.)

I don’t want to use Power/Tough/HealingPower btw
