Guild Wars 2

Once there is open world PK, it is the day I move to another game. GW2 now is already not the same game I started playing at all.

Uden Reavstone.3426:

The title says it all. Who’s next? Primordus, Jormag, Kralkatorrik, or one of the two unknown dragons?

Are you even sure Zhaitan is really dead? Nobody, can confirm Zhaitan is dead since there is no body to confirm it. And even if all the NPC in the game said so, there is always the option to bring Zhaitan back from the dead. It is the Zombie Dragon btw……

Agreed. I was also like, what? Why did you sent me all around the place to find the suspects, when you already had the culprit with you? We all already know Mai was the one the do Ashford in, because she was the one that volunteered to … kil…..heal…. him…… Marjory must be the worst investigator in Divinity’s Reach….. I do all the work, she get’s the gold that Logan game her? while I get a lousy journal and some silver? YOU SERIOUS????

I think cleansing fire will get nerf….. because I think the devs just want to nerf us to kingdom come!

I play a Sylvari female elementalist as my main……… :P

I am guy btw…. have 8 other chars…. all female…. :P :P :P :P

Don’t hope too much from the next patch….. we elementalist has been getting the short end of the stick for very very long time…….. So, it would be better to consider other prof………. seriously…

AoE nerfs will be on the cards. I CAN JUST FEEL IT!!! WE STAFF USERS ARE SCREWED!.
/end trolling.

I have no confidences whatsoever at the devs when it comes to patching skills and traits….. I am expecting nerfs and MORE nerfs…… I may as well strip naked and dance all day in LA….eventually….because it would come a time when an ambient bunny would take 10 hits to kill….. and get one-shot by a level 2 doe………..

If this is true…. whiners will be whining OP OP OP until the next nerf….. NO. I would rather be weak like a cat than get a boost only to be nerf in the next patch…. which is POINTLESS……. Then why bother boosting some of the skills in the first place? NO POINT. POINTLESS…..
Because Arenanet only needs one whiner to whine all day and there goes your build…..

people are doing this because you need 10k candy(?) to get the wing. Which is ridiculous. That is why people are running around the place to get the hologram…..

I played 1330+ hours and I only have a grand total of 1. I have been to Orr and have opened thousands of bags and run many dungeons and kills hundreds of sparks when I was at Lyssa. Maybe I should kills thousands or if possible millions of sparks the next time I visit Lyssa….

Torqueblue.1945:

Nope. You need that Vial.

Until Anet can find a Alternative way of getting that stuff without you needing to set foot in Fractals, you have no choice but endure the suffering and pain and torment of grinding that place until you get your Vial.

Don’t get me started on how hard it is to find a group for that place. Well, maybe it’s easier for you, but for someone with extremely low social skills and Zero friends I have a tough time , but I get by. Good luck and sorry for crushing your hopes and dreams.

You did not join a guild?

There are actually many things to do in GW2, but most players are either too lazy or bored at it. If you go to Queensdale, there will be many people doing all the DE, but if you go to Frostgorge Sound, you will rarely see any unless Jormag’s champion is on the map. Or at Fireheart Rise, you will see players gathering at the entrance to CoF.

You can say that many people just don’t feel doing many things in GW2 rewarding unless you continuously run the same thing over and over to get the RNG drops. And then there is DR.

What they should have done was pace the spawn rate in the “ex-kite” room. I mean, it won’t be a problem if there is 1 champion spawn, but spawning insane amount of silvers and killing one is not easy let alone trying to kill 6 of them before 6 or more spawn. I have seen the videos where players managed to exterminate anything that spawns in the room but they are coordinated and know what to do, but in a PUGs group, I have been in, some tried to kill it but most of the time, the PUGS get 1 shotted, as I play a squishy ele, I tend to get one shotted after the remaining falls. Which is 5 seconds into the battle. I also have been in groups that managed to clear the room without kitting.

However, 95% of the time, groups will prompt 2-2-1 or 3-2 or some other combination before even reaching the room. Signaling their intention to kite the mobs.

Dark Saviour.9410:

AresOnasis.4703:

Leave it as is. Having some events failing is part of the fun. What the hell is the point of these events if they don’t fail?

I want to see The Shatterer completely decimate a group, and then progress to take over the entire map unless people band together to stop him. I want to login one day and be told in guild chat that the entire map is lost and we should help try to take it back.

The problem is, the events aren’t really compelling enough for that to have the impact in-game that is conveyed when you say it.

I’d love it if the world-bosses were genuine world-level threats with huge event-chains spanning multiple zones, days of progression, etc.

But as it is, even if they did have the Shatterer take over the zone, it’d basically be, "3 minute DE where you take back camp X, 4 minute DE where you take back camp Y, etc. etkittenil you fight him pretty much as usual (and we all know how engaging that is). Then nothing major changes and he attacks again in 3 hours…

Just like doing WvW in PvE. Yeah, take back camp x, y or z, then go whack the Shatterer, then when everyone is in bed, the Shatterer respawn and took back the map again because there was like 10+ players around and unable to hold the whole map down. Hence, when the “zerg” wakes up, we steamrolled the map and sent the Shatterer down to the ground. Rinse and repeat.

Phantom.3548:

Is this guy trolling or what? Because staves are good as they are right now, I mean come on now. And there’s not a lot of players playing with a staff anyway.

I think A-net have more interesting nerfs to do in the moment. Let them work on the important stuff rather than force them to work on the less important stuff, maybe?

Trolling yes. Stating my experience playing a Staff ele. Yes. Because I also played all 7 other classes.

Staff are as good as they are now? You probably have never played a staff ele before or you are those players who are so good that any nerfs is insignificant to you or something like that.

You saying that Arenanet has more interesting nerfs to do at the moment. They did have one. Which they had planned but put off due to complains from the players which is AoE nerfs. They have stated that they don’t want people AoEing downed players in WvW. Or using AoE on single player target and saying AoE is too strong vs single target etc…

Important stuff? Doing SAB, Canach (single room dungeon) are to them important things? How about actually fixing the stuff that players has been complaining in the forum? (not only in the elementalist forum). Note: I like SAB but I felt it was just a gimmicky content rather than actual lore. I like

Festivals like Mad King, Winsterdays, and now Dragon Bash, yes, I am ok with those since it is lore or going to be lore or something.

PinCushion.7390:

He’s absolutely trolling, but has unwittingly started a relatively interesting conversation.

Yes, I will admit to trolling. But I did not start an interesting conversation. I only asked that devs nerf staff now because their RUMOURED planned to nerf AoE will also practically be nerf on staff, in which us staff ele have most skills that is AoE. If you had read what I have wrote, then you would probably understand. Then again, not sure if you are an elitism player or a d/d ele. If you had been playing a staff ele, you would know what is my “trolling” is all about.

Anyways, I will continue to “troll” until we eles do not get the short end of the stick. And don’t tell me to go play other mmos/games, I am dedicated to playing GW2. If I had wanted to move on, I would have done so earlier, instead of wasting time arguing or “troling” here.

Lalangamena.3694:

cant handle the heat? wait for group….
southshun supposed to be hard map.

A bit too hard….. Southsun has many Over Powered mobs. Young Karka’s machine gun attack can take out almost half-your hp. If 3 or more attacked you at once, even with dodging and blocking and healing, you would be running away from them first to heal up before attacking them back and they take damage like a boss (literally). Even the veteran Karka is hard with 2 hp bars and insane roll attack. Let’s not talk about Reef Rider’s necro attack with takes around 1000 – 2000 damage each attack and the cooldown is short. Again, if 5 to 6 of them attack you at once, you can be downed in seconds.

So, Southsun is worst than Orr. I would rather run around Orr rather run around Southsun. If not for the requirement of 100 passiflora flower for making +5 infusions, I won’t even go there on any normal day, unless I want to go farm the flower.

So yeah, Southsun have too many OP mobs with low CD and not much better loot vs the risks. If it had better loot, then yeah, have as many OP mobs and insane damage output.

Ralathar.7236:

.
Also as an ele you are one of the most effective people for finishing off the downed and making sure they stay downed. You should get alot of bags from that alone. Downed people don’t dodge and aside from thief they are immobile sitting ducks for locational AOE.

Yeah, I agree. But that is the reason or RUMOURED reason why they want to nerf AoE because they don’t want you to AoE downed enemy players!

ThiBash.5634:

You can still do well with a staff if you’re a good player. But you’ll have to be pretty good, and would probably do better with another profession. But if you’re good, it’s possible to do well with staff, even 1v1.

Hence, “good” player. But not everyone plays this game like those players who put in more hours in the game!
Doesn’t mean eles should be buffed to god mode for casual players, at least better chances of survivability rather than getting downed most of the time. maybe 10% more HP, 1% increased in mobility, 0.5% additional damage to all skills (I know, this will let lots of people screaming and foaming at their mouth on OVERPOWERED eles.) and less 100 range (1200 to 1100 range) (due to increase damage).

Maybe weapon swapping. But I personally don’t want weapon swap because it will only allow more people to foam at their mouth and screaming OP at us.

Anyway, we eles need a buff. But not so much. Just enough to make us survive more. Yeah, yeah, switching attunements in battle is the way to survive, but that is if we don’t mess up. One mistake and we are downed.

I also rolled the other 7 profession and even if I make a mistake, they can still take it without problems (unless there is a ultra champion hitting them with a no-cooldown skill). My guardian and warrior I practically can stand like a tank for long periods of time and take hits after hits before eventually dodging away for a heal and buff before going in again.

When I am on my ele, I stand FAR FAR away from the boss and still run all over the place to avoid their attacks because 1 hit and I am downed.

That is why I like to play an ele, I have to dodge, use all skills, all attunements all utilities, looked at the health, concentrate on what I am doing and such…..I remember when I first play GW2 and roll my ele, I was dying left, right, up, down and center. (New to GW). Didn’t even asked for help because I didn’t know much. And I didn’t even know how to use the other 3 attunements. Only use fire all the way until level 40 before someone told me I need to use the other 3 to survive, so, I started learning how to switch attunements in battle and I got better at NOT dying alot. Lol.

So, once eles get AoE nerf, staff is basically useless in anything. I can park my ele in LA and do chatting. When I am doing dungeons and other stuff, I would have to log in with my other characters.

Fishbait.6723:

To the one that said in combat, l2p.
So, what do you do when someone/thing is hitting you from range, you`re stuck on a ledge?

I guess you are talking about me…. well, usually in those situation, I would be already downed anyways, since my staff eles always get 1 shotted. So yeah, it doesn’t really matter if I am on a ledge getting shot at. It’s either dead by jumping off the ledge or getting shot to death.

Before anyone said anything about me getting one shotted, I am on full berserker and I only have 12k hp. :P

Sorry, but Anet would love to concentrate on things like SAB and Canach rather than do more “lore” stuff. Why? Because “lore” stuff don’t earn them money. SAB and Canach do! oops…. I mean the Consortium are actually helping Anet earn money through those RNG boxes…etc…. so, Elona? Palawa Joko? Cantha? what are those things/places? Anet probably won’t give a kittens until the first expansion is out and I am not so confident the first expansion is going to be any awesome than when GW2 first launch!

NO. This will give more ammunition for whiners to whine about us! I would rather swap before or after combat. Rather than in combat! If not, it will be “OMG, that ELEMENTALIST COMBO KILLED ME! I HAVE TO COMPLAIN IN THE FORUMS!”

FinalPatriot.8034:

First, I’m not trying to troll anyone but I often come to the forums seeking advice on how to play my class(s) and it just feels like they are all full of “gloom and doom.” After spending 30 minutes reading these threads, a new player would probably walk away thinking that an Ele can be tanked by a bunny, that ranger pets can 1-shot us, and that the Anet devs personally hate our class so much that it was only invented as a way for them to torment the world.

Seriously folks, yeah, my Ele can’t fly around the world like I’m used too but she’s still a ton of fun to play. Even with my crap gear, I find that I can generally hold my ground against most people. As for zergs, I continue to troll them like always and then just pray I can get away quick enough.

Anyways, sorry about this rant but to me, the game is still fun and I find something new to learn about my class every time I login.

But it is true! A bunny would probably killed us(if we are nerfed more and more) and a buffed up ranger pet could 1-shot us and do you see any devs even posting in this forum? Any? Maybe 1 or 2 after launch, but now? HARDLY any devs even come in to at least talk about it. And don’t give me the reason they don’t need to post anything because in other sections of the forum, they do post something, even unrelated stuff on occasions, but the elementalist forum? Do you see any RED post? Any?

Glog.4275:

Yup, dont get it either. Im doing just fine on my D/D ele.

The range on RTL was abit of a kick in the nuts, but i adjusted.

Try playing a staff and see if you can say you are doing just fine?

I feel an elementalist should not be using daggers in the first place, but that is an argument for another day.

Anyways, go play a staff like me and some other rare elementalist who still stick to staff. Don’t switch to d/d for anything, do dungeons/events with staff. And see if you will see the “glooms and dooms”.

Sorry, this would make more whiners to whine about us. The less whiners whine about us eles, the better. We eles are already bad as it is. (though I know some of us would like to disagree with me). But it is a fact we are WEAK……if we don’t play properly. And anymore additional stuff like this that makes us a little stronger will only let more whiners whine about us….. thus nerfs and more nerfs. I would prefer we lay low and don’t give a kittens about showing off. Let the whiners go whine about some other professions.

Nikaido.3457:

Erebus.3897:

A compilation of general rules, ive come up with, through both mine and my guildies experience fractaling.

• don’t run an instance if you don’t have enough AR, even if u dodge well, maw will get you.

My rule is better. I have no req on AR but I will kick you if I see you get hit too often by agony.

Then that is not fair, you should set a requirement on AR, so that you won’t have an excuse to kick anyone just because the game always wants to attack certain characters. You are practically blaming it on luck or RNG or something of that sort.

I hope the devs get the nerf over with and put us out of our misery. Then maybe I could go concentrate on my Mesmer whose role now is just to port players up to JPs for FREE and keep those people asking for tips far far away!

Let me clarify a few things, it was “rumoured” months ago they are planning to nerf AoE across the board. And this would affect us staff user. I heard reasons like “Players resurrecting downed players got AoE is why we must nerf it!” and “AoEing single target is too strong!”.

What the kittens is wrong with these people? or the devs? Are they on something? So now if we see some ENEMY invaders resurrecting ONE down player, we must NOT AoE him and his fallen comrade. BE a GENTLEMAN and let him save his comrade. ?? We serious? In a war, we must show compassion? Then will the ENEMY invaders show me and my comrades compassion and let me get out of downed state before we resume fighting? Tell me? Are you telling us how we must play our characters? Whatever happened to play the way we want to play?
WTH ? Is this WvW or Gentleman vs Gentleman? Or is this War? or a gentleman quarrel?

AoE single target is too strong? Serious? If I meteor shower 1 single target, i would be lucky if I can even hit it at all! And the 5 person limit on AoE is already bad enough, nerfing AoE?

Then why bother having a weapon call “Staff”? Is it there for show? or are we suppose to just poke at ambient creatures?

alot of elitism comments.

Look. If you are so good at the game, doesn’t mean other must be so good at it too. Just because you clocked in 10000 hours, means you are King of the Lab….errr…. King of GW2.

I don’t understand the mentality of many players in this game. For example, ranged attacks is like so kitten taboo they scream exploit every second of the day,week, month and year! If ranged attacks is exploiting, then let’s do without ranged. Everyone goes melee.
Problem solved. No more whiners. “HEY! Shooting from stairs is EXPLOITING!” “Shooting from 1200 range is EXPLOITING”. “10 eles dropping AoE is EXPOITING”…etc.

In fact, removed all ranged classes why we are at it. Rangers, Eles, Mesmers…. guns? Removed. Bow? Removed. Staff? Removed. Scepter? Removed.

So, it solves everything and the whining can stop. And everyone can go their merry ways!

Hence, when everyone is a single class, warriors or guardians, everyone don’t get downed. See? It solves everything! You only get to choose 2 class that the stigma of downing won’t happened according to many players!

Dear Dev,

if you are reading this, please consider nerfing all staff’s AoE to single target, so that we the remaining staff eles can move on. It is very frustrating and frightening to read the changelog everytime there is a patch. Crossing our fingers, hoping nothing will happened to AoE nerfing.

I have really had enough for all this. NERF us now so that we can move on to other classes or OTHER GAMES.

Eles are the best class to play Guild Wars 2 with and I am sticking to my staff ele until the AoE nerf is been implemented due to whining from whiners who can’t seem to use the dodge or move out of the way of the red circle on the grounds.

So, please. Devs! Nerf us now! So that I can move on or the remaining staff’s eles can move on if they are in a similar situation like me. If they are elitism players, my condolences to them, however, I don’t think they will care as they are the “elites” they will survive, until us eles are grounded in Lion’s Arch because walking out into the world then will mean dead due to accidentally hitting a doe with skill 1.

thank you for hearing me out.

For those who actually can kill players with their zergs, yeah, having thousands of badges with nothing to buy or do is obvious. Come 28th May, they can just grab all the ascended they want and be more buff in WvW while us who can hardly get a decent zerg on the map will only get slaughter by a 80-man zerg running all over the map. No need for strategies or anything, just steamroll everything that moves.

WvW needs more than ascended. It really needs to stop zerging. But as the way it is, a dedicated WvW server will always have the advantage over a partial-WvW server. Like SoR and JQ who can muster 80 to 100 man zergs.

Trahearne has a plan to take over this region. Trust me, he has a plan. From the way he was able to summon FIVE minions during that so-called daring rescue at Timberline Falls, I already suspected Trahearne is out for power. He act as if he doesn’t want too, but then he goes on and make a name for himself out of my character’s expense! Another reason is he doesn’t help much during the whole campaign. Sigh…….

Rinar Vanguard

BG

yeah, the battle for SM with JQ vs BG vs SoR…. you get an epic lag of epic proportion! Don’t even know what is going on when the skill lag was insane……

Hickeroar.9734:

WvW Matchup Changes!
World vs. World matches are about to get an injection of variety! With these changes you can look forward to facing new opponents in new matchups and testing your world’s skill against more foes!

Someone had better explain this.

It either means “Here, we give you more zergs to play with!” or “Instead of having 3 worlds, we add 3 more worlds! And the skill lag will murder you all trying to even protect your own front yard from spawn!”

:)

Trahearne = Palawa Joko. Nuff said.

I would buy the Expansion pack, however only the first one. The next one I won’t bothered if there is no drastic changes to the game. In it’s current state, this game is not going anywhere but down. People standing in LA waiting for something to happen. WvW is more about how many players you can get onto the map and out numbered your opponents 10 to 1 and just steamrolled over them. Fractals. no matter how many justifications that you don’t really need to do Fractals to play this game, you still need to do it to get the ascended rings and stuff. So many currencies to earn. Gold, laurels, karma, dungeon tokens, WvW badges..etc. Why introduced so many currencies in the first place? No grind in this game? Fractals and the many currencies ARE Grind. People just don’t want to admit it. They keep on throwing the same “you don’t need to do it” excuse.
Anyways, there are still many others that Arenanet needs to fix, but will they fixed it before the expansion? or after?

Tomkatt.1684:

I finally leveled my main through to 80 and through the story and…well, Trahearne is freaking awesome. I never felt overshadowed by him, more like partners. Throughout the plot it was obvious that we saw our development alongside Trahearne’s own growth.

I dunno, not ranting or anything, I just don’t get all the hate. Is it envy for that wicked greatsword he’s got or something? He’s pretty cool, IMO (but yeah, dat sword).

Some of us here don’t believe him one bit because of his “years” studying Orr. He could have made a pact with Zhaitan and also plotted to overthrow the Risen Dragon with our help so that he can claim Orr for himself just like what Palawa Joko did to Elona. That is how I sees him. The Pale Tree was somehow deceived by Trahearne’s who somehow managed to manipulate the dream.

So, there. Trahearne is NOT as good as you think! He may be the next Palawa Joko in the making!!!

Why some people here mention the expansion pack needs to add gears instead of adding the lore of the next area?

Do Arenanet even care about what we have said here? I read that Cantha region of Divinity Reach’s was removed due to reasons that i don’t understand. It is just a game right? Why bring real life reason into it?

Anyone has this on their wishlist for the 1st Anniversary for GW2 in about 3 months time?

when I play my mesmer and doing the port, I asked for nothing. Some just throw me a tip here and there, but unlike some, I don’t ask for it. Only a hugz. I just want to help people that’s all.

To the OP,

What you are suggesting is making the Ele too strong in the eyes of other players. This will not go down well with whiners who can’t even avoid an AoE. Sorry, but if the devs does follow some of the suggestion, they will nerf it after one round of complains from whiners.
Which is pointless. Besides, Dev rarely even come into the Elementalist forum to comment anything. It is like they dislike the Elementalist class. Which makes me wonder why they did not removed Ele and make another class they like in the first place?

AlietteFaye.7316:

Seigfried.5938:

AC is a level 35 dungeon, but I can’t level my characters there anymore. It is way harder to do AC with a level 35 character than doing arah(explorable) with a level 80. Earlier I tried AC p2, and the final boss is just frustrating and we ended up quiting the run. Since the update I have not done AC nearly as much as I used to. If it is a low level dungeon, then let only low levels do it and not make it so hard that only level 80s can complete it. Because now there isn’t any dungeon for level 35s

Been seeing this for months on end now. Stop saying that it’s harder for level 35 characters when it’s definitely not the case.

Are you sure it’s not hard for a group of level 35s to run the AC? Because it is HARD period.. Oh, wait, you may one of those elite players. Not everyone are like you ok? The weak players don’t have your kind of reflexes and also hand eye coordination. Some are just casual players.

And don’t give me that “Casual players” should not play this game or whatever excuses. Casual players also pay for this game, you also pay for this game, so does everyone else who plays this game. I have been in failed AC runs, I have been in AC runs that skipped many mobs and I have been in AC runs that runs for hours to complete. I also have been in AC runs where the group I am in just crushed everything that moves. I am sure that AC is NOT for players in the range of level 35 – 45.They will never survive without some level 80s with them. Unless they know how to skip here and exploit there. Or they are all elite players with level 80s but are leveling their level 35s.

The devs should re-lable the dungeon to level 45 and above. TA to level 65 and above…and some level 80s ONLY.

This is my opinion on the boss “room” or you can say floor.

Before I start, I would like to say “So much from trying to be different from other MMOs”.

Well, it is not the fault of the devs actually, this is because of “whiners” and “elitism” players who can’t stand people that are able to use the environment to their advantage. Sure, to some it is cheating, to some others it is using the environment to their advantage, to other other some they don’t care either way.

I would like to ask, how is using the environment to their advantage is cheating? In real life, we try in all manners of ways to avoid people from shooting back at us by hiding, shooting from far way, shooting behind rocks and trees….. and make sure we hit the enemy but they can’t hit back.

What is the use of the environment when we can’t use them? So, the boss battle in AC was original, where there is no boss room and has environment around it. So, naturally, people will use the environment and that is where it so-called problems arises. Any solution?

Solution : Boss room.
Solves : Whiners, elitism and any other complains.
Common complains will now be : Boss too hard, 1 boss too many..etc.

So, just like this temporary dungeon, all boss other boss room should be like this. No ledges, no pillars, no stairs no nothing for players to exploit. And no “we don’t want people standing there and afking while fighting the boss” whines.

In fact, with the non-trinity player professions, boss room is way better in GW2 than in WoW. We don’t see a warrior standing there facing the boss and absorbing the hits, while healers heal him and the DPS just shoots at him.

At least in GW2, we have run all over the place. Dodge here and there, use every skills, weapon swap, element swap (ele), utility skills we have to avoid getting downed by the boss.

Which comes to my statement about trying to be different. The Devs should at least know that using the environment isn’t that bad. Afraid of a handful of cheaters? I have some suggestion for the boss battles that would make the environment so-called cheaters able to use the environment but at a cost.

For example :

AC end boss.
Environment users find the stairs a place to snipe the boss.

Solution : Make the boss after it can’t hit the players, RAMMED the staircase and downed all players standing there. It makes the stair case disappear and there is no way to “hide” anymore. Find another ledge? RAMMED that ledge. Find another stair case? varied the attack and throw a boulder at the players standing on the stairs.

Isn’t this better than having a boss room?

Another example :

CM path 1 Frost boss

Some people climb up on the roof of the small hut in the area to avoid getting hit. I don’t know if Frost could hit you from below, but if it is “exploiting” environment" , again same solution, make Frost destroy the hut.

I know some people here will say it is a “waste” of time to code this in, re-do the dungeon and what not. I am not asking for an immediate change, but people ought to be given the chance to use the environment but knows it may be bad of health if the boss rams/destroy the environment.

The Molten bosses is fun and all with the boss room, but it lacks the GW2 factor and is more like a “Oh, I am stepping into a boss room, this is it!”

Anyway, it’s a fun fight anyway. Love the interaction between the bosses during the fight! Hehe….

Using my engineer when that happened. Don’t even have any weapons to swap either!
hmmmmm…..

I can safely say for sure I was not in combat.
However, I have never gotten this even if I was fighting before. As far as I know of.

Is Orichalcum ore nodes bugged? I was at Frostgorge Sound and using an Orichalcum pickaxe, I got ruined ore chunk!!!

I confirmed it is Orichalcum pickaxe before anyone else here asked if I am using mitril pickaxe by mistake. which it wasn’t a mitril pickaxe because I just bought a new orichalcum pickaxe at a nearby npc because the current one had 3 more uses to go, so I just finished using it and bam…. ruined ore chunks!!!

Milennin.4825:

makku.2508:

Devs stated they don’t like that players use AoE abilities on single targets (makes me wonder why they created weapon sets and even entire professions that hardly feature any non-AoE abilities in the first place, but w/e). Reducing the AoE limit wouldn’t solve that, swinging the nerf-hammer at the damage values does.

So basically Elementalists might as well do nothing in fights when fighting 1 enemy at a time.

Okay.

In that case, why not make the whole game with 1 on 1 fights, and just remove multi-targeting? Would solve all these difficult balance issues.

Wrong, all they need to do is make every class use a sword. only 1 skill. Slash. No ranged, no magic, no nothing. It solves everything. In fact, remove all classes and only leave 1 class. Warrior. Then you won’t have this problem where we AoE 1 enemy because we liked it. But hey, there is an unwritten rule that if you AoE 1 enemy that is against this rule. Only 1 on 1 skills are allowed.

Let’s just get this nerf over with instead of crossing our fingers month by month hoping nothing will happen. Let’s get AoE nerf and make those who want it nerf to be happy. And make Elementalist so useless, we may as well stand in LA and chat most of the time about how we used to go out into the world of Tyria.

I am talking about SAB not Frost and Flame. It does not fit in the context of the storyline. Frost and Flame fits into the lore, but not SAB.

Because every little square inch of the game must fit the lore, or else it’s a waste of time.

Just because you don’t like the content does not mean it’s a “waste of time”. As far as I know, moving a little out of the way with SAB is actually helping the game, not hurting it. As far as “wasting time and resources” is concerned, I don’t think it is given that the critical reception for SAB has been overwhelmingly positive.

I did not say I don’t like the content!!! I LOVE IT.

I only say it doesn’t FIT into the game! Hence the wasting resources and time on it! If I had hated the game, I would have been even more negative. The only thing I was negative about is not about how the devs did it in their free time or not what they did after work.
It is they put something out of context in the storyline that does not fit into the lore they are creating! Past, Present or Future!!!
