Guild Wars 2

I will try to add Ncsoft IP range to my trusted area in firewall
From this https://www.nic.ru/whois/?query=206.127.146.90
seems like 206.127.144.0 - 206.127.159.255 range must be trusted

Edit: Black Lion still blank ><

tigirius.9014:

Make bosses have a building crit damage resistance buff. Think about it why should CC suffer CC doesn’t kill bosses and Condi damage already has a limitation because it’s built poorly (max stacking), so fix the crit Zerker mentality by making bosses require coordination by giving them a significant buff against crit burst damage skills then parties would be required to have multiple build types and the Zerker build parties would be dead.

This will turn only one meta to another: from Zerk to Condi and nothing else.

NOONE are able to create system equally welcoming for EVERY possible spec.

Karma-train > bag-train

You can kill enemies without tag, but do not take objectives!
Also, if you will be too successful, enemies will gone (ragequit, you know) and noone will retake objectives, and karma-train will be broken.

So, EotM not mentioned for bag-trains. Go EB instead

Ppl are so strange - they are trying to fix something that don’t need to be fixed.
Tons of badges, specific gear - not the major WvW problem, nor the minor - this isn’t a problem!
All I can suggest here:
add exotic accessory for badges - per 1k badges each
add superior runes and sigils for badges - per 1k badges each
add T6 materials for badges - 1k badges per 50 pieces
Also, they can freely remove non-exotic gear from vendors - not worth buying it.

Arietta The Broken.1875:

Remove the gold price for the WvW Armor; add a "WvW maps only" requirement to it.

Not! While I can buy Zerk gear for x5 cheaper price than at TM -NOT!

ChoChoBo.6503:

Or introduce a Karma/Badges extractor that only works on WvW/Karma armor.

Check Gem store - it already exist

Tom Gore.4035:

Or simply make WvW like sPvP where you can equip whatever runes and equipment you want. Level all gear and stats.
...
Everyone happy?

Not!
Don’t want to work for gearing up your char properly? Play sPVP then.
We all are pretty happy with the gear difference between old and new players, between rich and poor, etc.

"changes to Maul "

Excuse me, but what changes you are talking?

Rangelost.4857:

I think it’s worth repeating.

Golemancers are exclusive to Asura. There exists no non-Asura golemancer. Golemancy is part of the Asuran culture.

You can summon golems and a pilotable power suit as an Asura character. If you would like to be a golemancer, create an Asura character.

This ^

Only one set from every tier is awarding.
I.e. you bought heavy Norn T1 set - got +6 to the Norn armor achievement
Buying of the light and/or medium T1 sets doesn’t give you any achievements

1st minus: Asura
2nd minus: EotM kills
3rd minus: kills of green arrows in the EotM
4th minus: thief
5th minus: wrong thread
:D

Asuras already have 2 skills for summoning golems and 1 skill for summoning golem suit.
Period.

Windu The Forbidden One.6045:

This is one of the reasons I would like Anet to give races some more racial skills and make them on par with other skills.

It could give each race another race specific build.
Asura have the option to make a golemancer build.
Humans could have a build that focuses on prayers, some defensive some offensive.
Charr could have a build that focuses on utilizing your warband.
Norn could have a build that focuses on calling spirits to their aid.
Sylvari have the option to make a.. plant thingy build whatever.

Will probably never happen, but hey one can dream.

I’m highly against it.
You, roleplayers, can’t even imagine how it will hurt pvp or wvw if they can’t balance even current skills

Just press at weapon swap button.

Still bugged.
mr Perroff.3705 adress and port are the same as your server IP
Check it with /ip command ingame.

Something was changed at the ANET side. As I see, most of bugged players are at Win7 64 bit

Everyone know, that there is boss-kill trains. But seems like at some level scaling is not working properly.
It’s enough to look at time to kill:
Shadow Behemoth - dies in 2 min
Jungle Wurm, Fire Elemental, Golem MKII - 1 min!
Some random champs (especially in low lvl locations) - dies in 20-30 sec if huge train arrives to complete their daily!

Please, increase their base HP in 5 or even more times! Or rework scaling in some way to make it longer a bit. Because, there is no any fun now...

Bye-bye celestial elems, HGH engis and hambow warriors
L2p as any another classes/specs.

Do not forget about condi specs while creating speed runes please

Also as range skills for RANGErs.
And blaming rangers for using their range skills… I dunno, maybe someone need to choose another game – without range classes.

I like range classes, will always use it, also as jumping on enemy’s bodies

here we go.

Ranger does NOT derive from RANGEr. It derives from “a person that ranges the landscape”.

And now for the world famous comparison:

Guild Wars, and pretty much any MMO in modern time, is heavily influenced by Dungeons and Dragons, which again is influenced by the original Lord of the Rings books by JRR Tolkien.

I presume you have read the books or seen the movies, so ill just carry on.

Contrary to what YOU think is a ranger (Eg: runs around with a bow and pewpews) Legolas was NOT a ranger, he was a archer. Aragorn was a ranger, he wielded a bow from time to time, but primarily relied on his sword.

A Ranger is NOT an archer, marksman (ironically so since we got a trait line named Marskmanship), sniper or sharpshooter.

The ranger class is first, and foremost, a survivalist class, secondary it is “the official Pet class” (Arenanets words).
Why are we good with bows? because it fits the survivalist theme.
How are you most likely to survive? In a place that is out of harms way. Thus a bow with long range fits this theme. That and for the sake of traditions, people like “bow-wielding classes with or without pets”, it just feels thematically right in an MMO

STILL, THE WORD “RANGER” HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BEING A RANGED CLASS. THE BOW IS JUST AN OPTION, NOT THE “ONLY RIGHT WEAPON CHOICE”.

thx for info, but then I like to play Archer. Since this game will lost last playable archer spec – this game lost me also.

AnotherAgnostic.9468:

The legendary longbow “Kudzu” (bow that shoots flowers) is lame. I was really excited about crafting a legendary weapon until I saw what it looks like and what it does. A bow that looks like a plant with flowers, that shoots flowers? Maybe fine for some but definitely not all. You offer 3 greatswords but only one lame longbow. This is a real bummer.

I’m with you mate.
Legendary Longbow looks like a joke. It is not looks sexy (you know what I mean) – no dangerous, not brutal, nothing. Just pew-pew flowers.
Maybe girls will like but… But try to imagine male character with that bow – meeeeeeh ><
Just compare the view of Twilight greatsword and Kudzu longbow.

DrDivine.5378:

A lot of people have told me D/D ele is one of the easiest to play

Completely wrong. Elem is a possible hardest class to master your hands with it. Before that – you’ll find yourself constantly downed.

rapthorne.7345:

Dunno about anyone else, but what are the actual drawbacks to ranger? (I mained mine and it was my first 80 and only character I played for months). We have massive damage burst in pvp, the longest range in the game, easy rallies from pets, our own personal aggro magnet, high boon uptimes from horn/various pet active skills, one of the best elite skills in the game (rampage as one)… it just feels like there’s no challenge or downside to ranger that I can think of.

Anyone else think this way?

Not, all is OK. Have no idea about what game-mode you are talking, but in the every mode we have our own + and -, also as any another class

What do you mean?
You want to have 50 total stacks of Power/accuracy
or
you want to have 25 stacks of power AND accuracy
or
you wanna get 2 stacks per kill?

It is pretty obvious to anyone, that Thieves have highest stealth uptime in the game, highest possible ways to go to stealth and highest number of traits, profitable by stealth.
Only liar will argue with that. Also, there is no need to count something.
Because, this is part of their mechanic.
Also as range skills for RANGErs.
And blaming rangers for using their range skills... I dunno, maybe someone need to choose another game - without range classes.

FrownyClown.8402:

where are the funny and lucky parts?

In the comments, I guess

Signet of the Ether passive heal with 3 clones equals to Warriors Healing signet, so for PVE it’s very good choice.

Yeah, another example of the "experienced" player, discussing about balance
Also, all Ranger traps (with trapper runes) are reveal you when it deals damage, mean - instantly! While thief has 2 traps without damage - for an "occasion" you are forgot to include trapper runes as thieves stealth source too.

Ok, done. Will wait...

arkenstone.7896:

Try just closing and re-opening. I’ve the same problem with the gemstore several times now. That has worked for me. It is like reloading the page in a browser.

Do you really think I’m never got out from the game for this two days?

BlackPot.4521:

Perhaps the half million dolyak escort is the most brutal. Perhaps not. If i give 3 minutes per escort, it takes up 25000 hours (!) in active escort (without the time when you running for a dolly or dolly get killed) which is means only this achievement takes 1041 days in active escort to complete this ach. Which is impossible, because sometimes a stronger player(s) beats you up with your dolly during escort

Seriously? 1k days? You don’t need to sleep, eat, toilet, work/study? Are you cyborg?

Radar - some kind of hack, what shows enemies around you.
Something like that:

A little google search provided me with this picture... I’m assuming zoom hacks and that "radar"....

Nah, this is not radar. We can see here another type of hack: ESP - it allows to see names through the walls.
And zoom-hack.

Just destroy 1 item - problem solved ><

Nope, still not working.
I’ve tried to completely disable my firewall and anti-virus, but it doesn’t help also.
And GW2 always run as admin.

I can live without Gem store, I can live without Currency Exchange, but how I can play without trading post? I can’t buy gear or consumables, I can’t craft it by myself, because I can’t buy ingredients.
3 ingame tickets, this thread - no any response or even attention from Anet. Awesome, just awesome...

CajunSinjin.3410:

I think it would add motivation to defense of keeps. Right now the only motivation might be right before a tick to get the points. Otherwise they get flipped on a regular basis because no one is there to defend.

If you have something worth defending you will.

I’ll explain to you how it would be:
In the prime time one side will defend and another side will attack. Most of the time it will be 2vs1 (as Jade Sea + Kodash fought against us few weeks ago). So, non-stop siege, a TONS of players, crazy lags, absolutely no fun.
After the prime time, some party, fast steal with no resistance. You know, some "smart" ppl will awake at early morning just to steal relic.

Motivation? Do you need it? This is a prestige!
If you lost your keeps: Bay and Hills, this means you are got (harrased). If you lost Garri - you got (harrased) hard.
Not some abstract "my server, blah-blah", but you, personally you!

Rednik.3809:

2% of whispers will be: "That was a good fight! Let’s duel again?"
98% of whispers will be: "Lmao faget u so bad, #rekt plz QQ moar"

As it is already now, isn’t _ it?

(this "auto-kitten" system makes me laugh. What is wrong in "isn’t _ it"???)

I still stay at the same point:
Retaliation must return % of incoming damage. No any another changes needed then.
Only this system will bring the same conditions for every class/spec.

PaxTheGreatOne.9472:

As long as the community understands this ISN’T a porblem of retaliation,

Yeah, you said just a part of truth, as all Western media.
Isn’t it because there is very few Engineers playing WvW and NOT just for roaming?
And most of WvW blobbers are warriors, guardians and necros (with a minor addition in Elems) and they are pretty fine with retaliation even if they are the same(!) mindlessly spamming #1 of current weapon, dealing the same or more damage, but much more rare hits/sec?

I’ve explained personally to you 2 or 3 times why you, your examples and your experience are failing there, but you are continue pop it with genius face &gt;&lt;
And you are wondering I’m not trust in your abilities to understand something by yourself? Really?

Kaybosh.5183:

SFR looks to boring to me… You always win, blobbly and no hard matchups where you struggle and lose everywhere you go . Gandara is “roamer`s paradise” .

maybe you’re right.
At Piken I had a good roaming fights too, but besides that – total ignore to the WvW stuff: you know, keeps defense, upgrade etc.
At SFR good WvW-players but for roaming… All I find here is challenging zerg blobs, steamrolling you nearly always

Siroso.2769:

The best that I’ve seen are gladomer (he may have youtube, but I’ve watched only on twitch)

http://www.youtube.com/user/scglad
But he is in melee spec and this is "meeeeeeeh" for me.

Engineers role in the current WvW? Roamer.

AdaephonDelat.3890:

SilverWF.4789:

Yes, YES, more WvW explanations from sPvP_only_Necromancer!

Tao is not an sPvP only Necro. I know him in game. He plays on Desolation and plays WvW. Also he’s not American. You continue to shoot yourself in the foot with you anger at other people. Chill out and back away from the keyboard dude.

Chill out and back away from the keyboard PvE-dude

BL still bugged

You were need to transfer to SFR if had a wish to find some "challenging roamers"

At the 99% of roaming vids (for every class) we can find only "Me the Great against bads" and nothing else.
Who is better in beating kids? This is the same question.

We? Who is "we"? Not, WE are didn’t.
This will lead to the same PvD only and even more than it is already now.

SilverWF.4789:

“Bad players” have a way to harass another even now. So stop this trash about “Omg, I’m afraid that someone will say me I’m bad”

Repeat again. Try to argue with that.

Yes, YES, more WvW explanations from sPvP_only_Necromancer!

Blueskylightdragon.4876:

They should add special effect in PvE, like increase aggro rate,increase defense when receive retaliation and enemy attack speed increase nearby player that got retaliation so that it will be more damaging for enemies in PvE. Should only increase in defense and no attack speed boost for bosses however.

How it’s relevant here? Not_a_troll, go away

AdaephonDelat.3890:

SilverWF.4789:

Tim.6450:

SilverWF.4789:

This:

Nades.
3 nades per 5 targets, 2 times in 1 second: 3*5*2*9=270 unique hits.
270*400 = 108000 retaliation damage or 12k per second
every nade able to hit for ~800r, so it will be 216k total
FOUR times more “rewarding” than Elems, right?

Euh, grenades attack speed lies about 1 set per second not 2. Also you forgot the 15 stacks of vulnerability you apply per set.

So? It will be 6k Retaliation per second with 108k damage total. Do you really don’t understand where you was failed or not?
15 stacks of Vuln at each target per throw? Really?

He said “15 stacks of vulnerability you apply per set.” per set being per series of grenades thrown. So you throw 3 grenades and hit 5 targets with each explosion. 3 × 5 = 15. He didn’t say 15 stacks per target.

facepalm.jpg
So it was total number of stacks? LOL
1st: read about conditions in zerg
2nd: LOL again

PaxTheGreatOne.9472:

The reason why no -ge would be if you’d do base damage, say 100/grenade and you get 5 retal you’d be "punished " with 5 dmg *15 targets is 75 damage. while you’d still do full condi dmg in vulnerability/bleeding/poison and chill, hiding a LOT of hidden dmg behind a very thin illusion.

OP. Again.

Not. Try to find zerg fights by yourself and check conditions.
Maybe after that you’ll see WHY condi specs are NOT viable here even now – even for Necros meta is Power specs.
Not because of Retaliation, yeah.
If you’ll failed to understand it by yourself, ask some experienced players about that.

TheDivineMissC.7413:

I have not found anything regarding this problem in the forums, so I would like some suggestions regarding this issue.
On our lower-tier server we have a problem with “trolling” guilds. When a major keep like Garrison is recapped the keep is often claimed by a guild that is not known to the WVW players on our server and no buffs are implemented. So, when the keep is attacked we have no buffs to help us defend or repair. After some discussion, I would like to suggest that claims should “expire” after an hour with no buffs. We only have a few active WVW guilds and we must move our claims around so just claiming and sitting on a site to prevent this is not an option.
Any thoughts?

The same problem with high tier servers: some trolls claiming strategic keeps (SM, Garri, etc) just to make a bad things to another players and there is no any ways to punish them, because democracy, human rights, blah-blah.
Ok, so allow us at least unclaim it!

So, do you think ranger, who moving by pressing S is good right? Or nearly dead Necro, trying to res downed ally?
"amirite"?
