Guild Wars 2

vespers.1759:

idk but i think trying to get the ally to attack your target is the hardest part. the ally never seems to target the right thing. it just runs off into nowhere to fight a mob 50 miles away.

Fully agree – second hyena living her own life with her own priority.

What about press ’K’, look at the ’Vitality’ string and multiply that number by 10?

cottage.3274:

you guys don`t need to get stuck on the rhetoric,superior not superior it doesn’t matter.
the point is that as fun as playing engineer is, even with all the bugs,bad traits,fail mechanics,poor skill design ect,the fact (yes fact!) is we get outperform in every role in every platform the game offers by other professions.
now for some people this will make little to no difference but for some this kills 50% of the fun.
the more competitive nature you have the more this sucks for you more be it in pvp or pve.
the second thing that sucks is like nakoda said this is a mmo so if we are outperformed you will get bench, for example in a competitive team play no one will want a bunker engineer if they can get a guardian that will do it 10 times better.
you get the point now.

and nakoda imo engineers are one of the least adaptable professions the most versatile..maybe,but our viable builds do not give us the flexibility to adapt to things.
you want an example for adaptable look at d/d ele`s in a single fight they can burst,hold good sustained damage, do good aoe damage ,tank for some extent,give team support,cc,and be a very mobile roamer, all in one build this is adaptable.
give me one viable build for engineer that can do all that, we can do 1 or 2 things but surely not all of that not effective anyway.
as for versatile they aren’t so much since they can only stray so far from skills/traits/gear and weapons so much before they start to gimp.
as engineers we can play some builds with different weapons and switch traits (10/20 points here and there) get all kinda of skills in the slots ect and not lose the core of the build and not get gimped, and you can make a build for a lot of roles, this is versatile.

This means only one: Anet didn’t have good game designers

I’m pretty sure, ranger’s pet must share all his boons and special things (like Agony resist) in the anyway without any traits, signets, etc...

Maybe, some experienced ranger will create a thread about suggestions to fix Ranger and will add this suggestion too.

I prefer condition build for PVE and WWW (P/D and Bow). In the PVE I can handle most of champions (yes, with gold circle ones) solo with easy.
But this build killing packs of mobs longer, than direct DPS builds...

I just love bow/pet classes - my Squig Herder in the Warhammer Online was my most likely class (even when he was nerfed like a peice of... you know)
And there is no analogues over Ranger: Warrior with bow looks ugly. Thief? Maybe, but...
So, I playing ranger sometimes, anyway

Is EU players bought not enough number of the game clients? Is the EU players buying not enough number of gems?

Arena, please, buy new more powerful servers for EU and rent more wider internet! Don’t you see our pain?

Jiiub.7135:

also the 2 best classes for WvW is Warrior and Guardian. BOTH NOT USING aoe as main attacks..

Sorry man, you are wrong – they both using a tons of AOE…

jkctmc.8754:

SilverWF.4789:

no room left ’Lchr’ nickname...

Do you feel your Ranger is on par with your other classes? I havn’t played the Engineer yet, though fighting them I feel they’re weaker than the Ranger. Although out of the other classes I chose to gear up in Exotics, they all play way better than my Ranger under most circumstances, but most importantly groups. My Ranger brings very little to a group.

Engineer? So-so... I didnt feel the power in the Engineer, really. Sure, you can put on flamethrower (with 3 targets AOE-limit, LOL) or grenade kit running with zerg and thinking you are useful, but in fact... you are not... But in the PVE at the events you can easly tank a tons of mobs (with vampire food, sure) and get a tons of loot

Fully agree with your comparsions with warrior, guardian and thief. My mesmer is low (30 only and I dislike him) so will not say anything

Elem deals just kittening crazy AOE damage and cool utilities to group. Maybe he is really squishee (in Berserk) but he have good survive skills and even often downed states ’ok’ for me if I know, that my Firerain easly hits for 5k damage per 1 fireball from the sky.

Still wondering – why people creates pretty useless threads and where is moderators?

But yet another thread about how bad rangers are would be okay?

nor

just delete rangers forum ^^

Jiiub.7135:

so no one read the whole post… HE KNOWS ITS NOT POSSIBLE!!!!! kitten how can 10 people post the exact same thing in a row.. lazy kittens… you got the energy to post but not read more then 2 lines…

if what he says is true its a hack to get out of combat when one shoudnt be able to. otherwise its just him and others seeing wrong…

I’ve seen same things very often: catching some enemy (any class, not only thief), constantly attacking him and somehow he is just disappeared from our screens.
If it was Alt+F4 – we must recieved exp reward and bags, but we are got nothing…

And btw, in any other game, stealth has a movement speed penalty

Wow, really? What game?

The list is long, let’s say DAoC, WAR, and yes WoW of course.

There is an answer about WOW
DAOC is pretty old and ugly game
WAR - no, there is no speed penalty in the stealth mode and stealth lasts for 30 sec... or 20... forgot... Also, this game have nearly 1 long speed boost: mount...

no room left ’Lchr’ nickname...

1 frag per 2 minutes... okay ^^

Remeber me - how often it can be done by thief?
And what your jaguar will do against live enemy, who will not stay at place and will use some cc abilities?

Neandramathal.9536:

… culling in 2v5 PvE situation !? o.O

Yup – this is Arena…

Kelo.4370:

As someone with a really good computer, culling is next to non-existent for me in most situations and when I do have some it is when there are over 100+ players all in the same small area. The culling change is great and I hope ANet doesn’t revert it again. If you are having more problems now then before it is cause your computer is trash, the new system requires more resources on the player’s end which is fine cause my computer was not getting stressed by GW2 to begin with. It is about time ANet stopping programming for the lowest common denominator.

Intel i5-3570k
ATI Radeon HD7950 3GB
16GB RAM
Game installed at the SSD
40 Mbitsec bandwidth
Is my comp trash?

And I think you are lie to us. Show us scrrenshot with the “100 ppls at the any distance”

Any class have AOE. Even "single" target 1st button skills usually hits nearby targets - this is AOE too.

Ppls using AOE coz most of WWW players running within zergs - coz this is easiest way to win.
Even if they make every skill single targeted - it will not solve zerging.
and since GW2 do not have obvious classes and any player can ressurect any another player - single target focus will be just useless and stupid.
We need AOE coz game mechanic - you must get down most of the enemies at the same time or your zerg will be downed in the another way.

removing AOE will be just another step to ruin that game.

vipeout.2485:

Writing engine isn’t so easy. Takes years.

They promised us massive battles. And I bought this game only for massive battles.

So I didn’t care about their problems now.

1400 tokens / 60 = 24
24 paths.
12 runs with p1+2 with 1 character
nearly 2 weeks...

1. Vabby

bet 1 cent for it ^^

Still wondering - why people creates pretty useless threads and where is moderators?

So, stop whine, try to find another allies who wanna do JP and go on

And be ready to meet with enemy players, who dodnt wanna do JP, but only gank. That’s a life...

marc.6380:

engineers is bad in pve.
engineers is good in pvp
engineers is good in wvsw (aoe)

it Feels like you can do everything but your just not good at what you do.

not, they are extremely good
if you mean duels – so-so, depends on the enemy
not. they are better than thieves or rangers sure, but worse than warriors, guardians, elems…

Thrumdi.9216:

ANet said they are aware of this, at least on the PvE side of things, and have said they are planning a fix. Their opinion is currently AoE does too much damage in comparison single target attacks, so they are going to nerf individual hits in AoE somehow.

So, they will do once more mistake in the game design. Cant say more here.

This question is total spam. I would say that most people that I know are quiet happy with this new system, WvW works a lot better than before now after the patch. If you however are having technical difficulties, check out the support forum and address your problems there. That way you might actually get help and you just might find a solution to your problem.

What is your server and guild?

I’m from the Nugos guild, Disorder League alliance (GreenFire, DalZone, ZaDrots (at FarSh)) we was in the 1st tier servers many times (at Far Shiverpeaks, Blacktide servers), we have fights against very good and numbered enemies (Vizunah, Seafarer, Desolation, Elona, Riverside) day by day, week by week, all of us servers always got nearly 1 hour queues at the WWW maps.
So if I’m talking about WWW – I know what I’m talking about

And who are you and why we must trust you and your friends from the nowhere?

That would be DW, and as you might know we are right now one of the biggest and most active guilds in WvW on our server.

Your answer equal to no any answer.

I repeat: what is your server and guild?

If you think I will Googling like crazy about meaning of the “DW” and where are you playing at – you are mistaken.

This is WWW! There is no place to carebear things (puzzles, POIs, etc.)
Dislike it? Do not play WWW anymore - you will free room for more useful player - who will fight, not hiding at the JP.

Catisa.6507:

never happen. Nothing actually gets fixed in WvW.

agree…

Didnt see any points in the any resets.

Only a chance for bad servers to be a bit upper, but in the short time they will going down of the table anyway...

Maybe it working good at the US-servers, but at the EU-servers - we all just goin crazy from that new system!

We have the same problem too - we got queues far before the primetime starts - at 5 p.m. GMT :/

Or... Or they decreased maximum limit for the WWW? Lol, very "good" solution for the culling problem instead of just sit and write new good engine...

New culling is sucks.

Elochai.1280:

Culling NEVER should have been put into the game. It’s an unacceptable thing to have in PVP.

Signed!

Only dilettantes will put system like culling in the massPVP game.

I have just 1 question: WTF they tested at the all BWEs??? What they thinked about? WWW will have only 10 players from the each side and all will be ok? But in fact we have hundred of WWW-oriented players every second! Big queues in the prime-time.
And obvious thing is - game-engine can not handle not only very massive battles (200x200), but even little scaled battles too - yesterday I got culling in ... 10x10 fight! ><
We have culling in the PVE now! It so pathetic >< I neever seen that stupidness in the game design before, but I have very rich MMO experience - more than 9 years (God, so long...)

And there is another question: if they did not have engine for massive battles - why the hell they make that massive battles? They scum their customers - all of us!
They promise us massive WvWvW battles and what we got? battles between invisible mans? Lol.

This game about WWW! Nothing else! Without WWW this game will have very low population

Didnt even try to report my post! Let the Community manager and the Lead designer will answer it! At least they’ll see it and will cry whole night ^^

jkctmc.8754:

Please add your ideas here as well.

Please, give to Ranger button “Kill all enemies in 3000 radius”, instacast and 10 sec CD
Thank you.

(yes, this is sarcasm after reading 1st post)

Because of weak design this game will died (not literally, sure - it becomes to unpopular, nothing more) soon It will have the same "popularity" as the GW1 - very low. PVE will be close to the desert and WvWvW will be empty too. And only few fans of the arena battles will be there.

Sadly, now we just didnt have another good game in the World, but it will be released soon...

Most worse in that situation - developers didnt even want to listen experienced players, but only listen some crazy noobs.

Rifle warrior, sure.

We are still waiting of the FT fix

Play a warrior then you’ll have everything – just better.

Honestly, try things out for yourself. You might learn something. A lot of people jump on the warrior bandwagon without knowing what they’re talking about.

In the current top WWW worlds no place exists for all of your fun: play in the melee-train (like Warrior or Guardian) or die hardly while cant hit anyone.

Serious you have no clue wat your talking about. Its hilarious to see a warrior jump you pops his 100b and gets confused while you simply vanish. or you block him and hes stunned for 2 seconds or you confuse him. even when someone hit you for 99% of your life he cant finish it cause you simply auto refresh healing and get auto evade. And your from piken square since when do you know wat its like at the top of wvw rankings?

Seems like you didnt know what you talking about…

I’m wearing full berserker.

I’m sure – that’s a reason…

In the good raid (such as RG melee-raid, obviously) your incoming conditions will be permacleanced.

If honestly, I think there is no place to an Engineer in the good raids...

Arsenic Touch.7960:

Channeled attacks do not do the damage pop up per hit, the last number that comes up is the total damage the entire skill has done, which is a stupid mechanic. Either it should not pop up damage until it’s done, or it should show the actual damage of the hits.

God, I think all know that ><

Author, look at the combat log instead of screen.

All of this is not important since carebears and girls didnt have movable turrets and skins for kits ^^

Still wondering why no any spells of Grenade kit and Mine kit didnt have blast finisher...

Anet have weakest game designers in the World ^^
