Guild Wars 2

FrostSpectre.4198:

I really wish every build is equal, than 1/3 being superior…

I’m sorry, but this is not how things usually work in video games. You cannot just go out with random traits, random stat gear and random utilities and hope to be effective pressing random buttons. The thing is that another player who actually made an effort to learn the game and understand its mechanics will be quite more effective than you.

That means that he:
- will kill you in sPvP/WvW mode with his better build
- will be much more effective and useful for group in PvE with his better build

This is just how the things work.
Of course no one can force on you “meta builds”, you are free to run your own build no matter how useless and kittened it is. But please do not expect to be as effective as others and do not expect to be welcome into “effective meta groups”

There is another thing:
No one can inspect your build in GW2. That’s why players who “play how they want” tend to lie to their group and join it anyways despite LFG statement. This is the reason for conflicts between “meta” and “play how i want” players.

Add inspect option like it exists in sPvP and two player groups will be split naturally.

Fowidner.6930:

Can someone tell me why a lot of players only want guards and wars in their dungeon party?
I play with thief, full zerker meta build and im sure my DPS is quite the same. But still is get kicked every time because im a Thief…

I even solo dungeons with my Thief (all legal and no exploits ofc, or blind is an exploit? )
Some people have to accept more classes…

(dont say might stacking, thief is best finish blaster in game)

They probably had a bad experience with thieves – most of them spam shortbow in combat and die a lot on bosses. The same prejudice applies to rangers – sitting at 1200 range spamming longbow.

You will be surprised but majority of rangers and thieves are still pretty bad. More chances to find an OK warrior – all rotations and builds are very intuitive and starigth forward for this class

InfernoHero.5687:

Fun for you – to use all skills at you disposal, you dont care much about what those skills do and why you use em. Seems like you just want to use them all “because you can” and you call it “fun”.

I’m not even looking at a skill bar right now. I haven’t played Elementalist for more than 24 hours.

Watch this:

Fire #4 is a dodge back
Earth #5 is an immobilize
Air #3 is a knock back
Air #5 is a stun
Water #4 is a chill

I know what those do because I can use them. I should use them because they are there. They are there for a reason.

There is not reason to use all these awesome knockbacks, chill fields and static fields on an average PVE boss – its just a waste of time and its not helping you to solve the problem (killing the boss with minimal effort in a minimal time).

While I agree that skills look cool and animations are awesome and there is definitely some use for them (hello, WvW), using them on an average boss is just simply… bad.

But you already admitted yourself that you use skills “because they are there”. I can also see how it can be “fun” to roll your face over keyboard and be amazed by cool animations. You probably pick certain weapons not because they are better for certain situation but because they “look cool”, “animations are fun” or maybe even cause you like that static field icon on your skillbar.

Thing is that the majority of players doesn’t think like you – that’s why speed run meta prevails.

Azure The Heartless.3261:

This requires everyone:

>is experienced with the dungeon and knows how to dodge
>is not out of dodges when they need one.

You’re only focusing on the smallest portion of the game, where players are running for speed clears on a dungeon they’ve already done, and do not care about anything else (or simply aren’t bad at noticing visual cues/ never mistime a roll)

The game is much larger than that. Sure, Zerker gear works on Speedclear groups. Not everyone speedclears though.

Game has been out for 2 years already. Lots of guides out on builds/rotations/how-to-dodge etc.

I think its OK to expect from an average player to be familiar with these things. The same way as you expect from “Healer” in “traditional holy-trinity MMO” to be familiar with “healing”. And if that healer is not actually healing party you kick him or educate him if you feeling generous. Same rules apply here

Azure The Heartless.3261:

I’d like to point out that first, we both agree that dedicated roles do not exist.

However, the features of these roles do still exist, they are just internalized. You can’t just walk up to a class here and say “oh, this is a Warrior/Guardian/Ele. They automatically must be decent at (performing a certain facet of the trinity at a certain level) or they’re a bad player.”

That does not mean that the concepts have died or been removed.

These concepts exist in GW2, but with slightly altered meanings.

You thinking in a right direction but you not there yet

Yes roles do exist. And yes each party member is a Tank/Healer/DPS for himself.

Each profession can dodge (avoid damage completely), some professions have other ways of preventing boss from dealing damage (blinds, reflects, aegis).

All these factors lead to the following conclusion:
You do not need defensive stats on your gear, you should use offensive stats only to minimize TTK (time to kill) and you should use your active defenses to avoid damage.

In other words: get good and learn to dodge.

Nothing is wrong with zerker meta – its literally the only logical solution. There is no tanks (ways to pull boss aggro), no healers (everyone heals himself) in this game. Which leaves only 1 role for you – DPS.

I see this being said a lot, and I can’t really see the logic.

Assume Elementalist fighting champ with a charge ability:

Elementalist initiates fight with Fire Attunement meteor shower. (DPS)
Champ starts average attacks
Elementalist switches to Air Attunement and uses a knock back skill to keep the champ far away. (Control/Tank)
Champ charges
Elementalist uses an immobilize skill in Earth Attunement. (Tank/Control)
Immobilize wears off and champ fires off another charge
Elementalist, now at half health, switches to water attunement and fires off the two heal skills and also uses the class heal skill. (Healer/Support)
Champ starts more average attacks
Elementalist switches to Earth Attunement and uses the auto attack to weaken the champ. (Support? Maybe?)
Elementalist switches to Fire Attunement and finishes champ with a Lava Faunt and auto attacks. (DPS)

No offense but seems like you never done dungeons in GW2.

Let me tell you how it actually goes

Elementalist starts in fire with Meteor Shower (you got that part right)
But then instead of switching to earth and other useless shenanigans he continues to spam 1-2 in fire until boss is dead. Add dodges if needed.

See how easy it is if you just know how to dodge

Also the main point is to kill the boss very fast – ideally before your groups runs out of dodges/blinds/reflects. Which is usually 5-30 sec depending on boss.

See the problem here? You just turned one of the most fun classes in the game into an Auto Attack machine.

How is your scenario more fun than mine?
When did Video Games stop being about fun?

Combat scenario is not about “fun” but about efficiency of killing the boss. Ele staff rotation is pretty boring 5-2-1-1-1-1-2-1-1-1-1 etc. If you want to have “fun” with ele in dungeons by using complex rotations – please pick another weapon set like D/F or S/D/LH.

At the end of the day it comes down to definition of fun.
Fun for me – to solve the problem of killing boss efficiently and elegantly.
Fun for you – to use all skills at you disposal, you dont care much about what those skills do and why you use em. Seems like you just want to use them all “because you can” and you call it “fun”.

Well, other people might disagree with you, especially when you slow them down by being a useless asset to the group and preventing them for having their own “fun” of killing things quickly

Skady.5916:

You’re trying to apply Holy_Trinity.mmo to a game that doesnt have it.

That’s simply not true. Let me explain something to you.

As long as we have “target” concept and “HP” concept – there will be tank/healer/dps concept as well.

Tank – person targeted by mob
DPS – reducing enemy HP to zero
Heals – maintaining allies HP above zero

As long as you have “hitpoints” and “target” concept in game – there will be Tank/Healer/DPS concept as well. Tank/healer/dps is the direct consequence of HP/Targeting concept.

In other words: Tank/Healer/DPS concept is the way of resolving the problem – reducing boss HP to zero while maintaining out HP above zero.

Now look what GW2 does differently comparing no another MMOs which also have HP/target system.

1. GW2 says – there is no way of reliable aggro control in this game. Some bosses target high toughness, some target players at certain range, with certain weapons, certain classes etc. Aggro is wonky and there is absolutely no reliable way to predict who is gonna hold aggro. Which makes Tank as a role obsolete. OK you can gear up your guardian in full nomad set but boss will be targeting my full zerker ele and you cannot do anything about that, which kinda defeats the purpose of having nomad (i.e. non-zerker) anything in group.

2. Also GW2 says – there is no way to heal allies reliably. You cannot just sit there like Minstrel in LOTRO or Sorcerer in SWTOR and spam your heals on allies all day. Group heals are mostly combos on water field or long cooldowns like guardian resolve. You cannot just target an ally and spam heals, and actually you are not supposed to do that – instead you supposed to pro-actively avoid damage and save yourself.

TLDR: Tank/Healer/DPS concept is a direct consequence of HP/target concept. GW2 design reduces “trinity” to single-DPS.

Why no one complains about 1tank+1healer+xDPS meta in traditional MMOs? No one is running traditional MMO dungeon with all healer/tank group.

If you want to run dungeon with full tank group and spend there 2 hours – no problem. Find like-minded individuals and good luck. GW2 dungeons have no enrage mechanics which makes no-damage groups totally possible. But please for the love of god don’t torture others

This Achievement is currently very gimmicky. You definitely gonna need a mesmer for that

1. Clear 2 groups of trash + patrol. Do not approach mordrem corpse in the choke
2.You wanna skip event that is triggered by crossing over mordrem corpse in the choke. Use traited mesmer blink for that, then stealth yourself all the way to Caithe and close portal to get group across.
3.Clear 2 groups of trash, open portal again and get ready.
4.Instance owner with mesmer should go back to the corpse to trigger Caithe event, close portal right after. Second portal needed to bring instance owner quickly to Caithe to make mobs vulnerable to damage

At least it would make more sense than BL collections bullkitten

Tom Yzf.5872:

You’d be surprised at the amount of players (noobs or elitists) who still LoS stack for random encounters after the FGS nerf. But when you pug, you take what you can get.

You’d be surprised but meteor shower, lightning storm and icebow still deal double (roughly) damage against the wall.

Bernie.8674:

SirBlunticus.4258:

WE NEED RAIDS!

No, we don’t. The reason I’m playing this game is that I don’t have to worry about restarting the gear treadmill every six months when a new raid comes out. WoW is about to come out with yet another expansion. Why don’t you give that a try instead?

Raid does not necessarily mean “gear treadmill”. Gear treadmill only exists in your mind cause you didn’t like it in WoW. Open world raid doesnt mean gear treadmill, instanced raid doesnt mean gear treadmill.

Gear treadmill is essentially a way of distributing rewards and gating the content. You can have no raids at all and can have gear treadmill (new levels, new expansions etc)

I dont understand why people are against “instanced raids”. If anything this type of content will not be mandatory just like everything in GW2 and you are free to ignore it if you dont like it.

What is a RAID? In my opinion first of all raid is a TEAM. A team that is going to complete some different task – and that’s what makes it different from “open world zergs” and “semi afk 111 spam”. A team should have leadership, that’s why making a raid instanced is the closest viable solution.

Even now if you analyze closely what is going on during Triple Trouble event you will see that guilds de-facto use nearly empty maps (instances) to fill them with people who are willing to cooperate (not necessarily guildies). They de-facto bypassing “open world idea” because it simply does not work

RuneCrimson.7380:

Everyone paid for this game everyone has the right to play it how they wish and when they wish no guild or people have the right to force a person out of events or maps cause they want to Dominate the event or Map. Thats just my opinion and hey thats my right too.

I totally agree with you mate!
Just like you have a right to “play how you want”, be ignorant and not listen to anyone around, the other people have exactly the same right to play “how they want” and leave you on an empty map to solo the event.

At the end of the day everyone gets what he wants and plays how he wants

Yeah this is not a good idea.

Actually it would be great if they did quite the opposite – make scouting easier. Like implement stationary sentry turrets in towers/keeps as a part of upgrade or guild buffs for example.

DonQuack.9025:

3. Make people who abuse the kick function have account penalties. (both the initiator and 2nder)

How do you know if a kicker abuses kick function? For instance I often make a taxi-lfg for temple events, tequatl etc. And as soon as taxied person joins my instance – i kick him to let others join too. Will I be punished for that according to your logic? In that case its easier to not taxi at all – feel free to find a map with organized event yourself.

John Corpening.9847:

There were a handful of other tweaks brought up in our discussions that we are planning. These include reducing the number of people who can rally off of a kill.

Thank you so much John for addressing this issue! IMO currently unlimited rally creates a huge imbalance and snowball effect. Entire zerg can rally off of one person – that doesn’t sound right at all

On the other hand removing white swords doesn’t sound like a good idea. I bet it was suggested by someone who considers himself a dedicated scout and wants to feel special. I’m sure you can find another way to reward scouting.

DonQuack.9025:

Most people can not make their own groups? Thats news to me. ArenaNet really needs to fix that problem. It must be a bug of some sort. Have you bug reported it?

You will be surprised but no one can “make his own group” in GW2. Even if you think that you just made “your own group” it can be easily hijacked by 2 randoms and you will be kicked out in no time.

Yes, I totally agree with you – its a bug and needs to be fixed. That’s why this thread exists.

Jeknar.6184:

• good group composition: GWEN or GTFO

Actually 6 out of 8 classes are actively used in GvG. Only engineers and rangers have no place in “meta”.

You complaint is invalid

They need it cause generally people want to have some level of control over party (and its not a bad thing at all if you think about that).

Previously “instance owner” was de facto a “party leader” cause he had de facto kick immunity due to dungeon being destroyed after instance owner left group.

Lynne.8416:

I don’t mind Anet selling outfits (costumes) in the store because that is where they truly belong and I feel they can make as many as they want.
However, armor skins, on the other hand, belong in game as drops/rewards and (in my opinion) should be added to the game as often or nearly as often as outfits are added to the gem store.

I agree with you completely!

The thing is that they only introduced 2 new non-gem armor sets since launch and keep adding outfits/armor sets to gem store. New armor set generally means new content. Buy more gems =/= new content

Currently there is no way to tell who exactly kicked you from the group. Even if you report all 4 other people from your group – who is gonna get punished? The one who started vote kick? or the one who seconded? There is literally no way for GMs to get a proof of bad intentions unless some sort of conversation in party chat took place which is hardly the case.

On the contrary in you have the party leader – he is the one responsible. Thats why in MMOs with party leaders ppl hardly abuse that role. In GW2 there is no personal responsibility for any sort of action taken in party – thats why everyone feels do to whatever they want.

I have a few thousand people following me from EOTM and I never had the issue described above. The worst thing that happened – mistells.

Just a headsup for a topic starter: there is a feature called block list. Just block any person who bugs you – he will never see you online or send you any messages in game. Easy enough

I honestly think you just overreacting

I played LOTRO for about 5 years and SWTOR for about 2 years – boths MMOs with party/raid leader system. Never seen any complains in game or on forums about being kicked or leader role being abused.

I can see where GW2 is coming from (democracy etc) but it doesnt work on live servers. In fact GW2 parties are ruled by trolls – and this should be changed. Hardly any player likes the current system. Please change it and introduce party leaders

My few thought on GW2 PPT and scoring system.

System widely supports sitting in the keep/tower on siege without ZvZ fighting open field, which is ultimately boring thing on the long run.
The following can be done to change that

1. Improve score rewards for killing people (without stomping – stomping for small scale roaming).
2. Decrease PPT reward for holding an object. Ideally you should not be gaining lots of points for just holding an upgraded object
3. Flipping an upgraded object should give your server more points than non-upgraded object
4. Decerase PPT and flipping score reward for teams that outnumber another team. If its 95vs5 on the map – decrease PPT to zero. If one server fielding 95 full map queue during OCX/SEA and opponents have 5-10 ppl on the map you should NOT reward that big server at all. They can paint all map green and upgrade all keeps but they should not get any ppt for that.

5. Ultimately promote open-field combat with no towers/keeps/wall involved. Introduce some kind of ESCORT EVENT that can only be triggered if your server does NOT outnumber other teams – like escort champion NPC from 1 randomized point on the map to another. This event should be visible on map for all teams and that will give them an opportunity to fight openfield and this will be lots of fun. This can allow skilled outmanned groups to actually contribute to their server score by fighting other teams (not their walls and siege)

Guys these items will always be tradeable. The reason is simple – TP is the biggest gold sink they have to date (15% mhm)

Collections are cool! Thanks, ANet!

How about you add fractal weapon collection and legendary weapon collection?

Thanks! <3

Thank you ANet for this thread Hope you guys gonna continue communicating with WvW community

My thoughts on subject:

1. The main reason why people siege troll at the moment is LACK OF OFFICIAL STATEMENT from ANet team. People simply do that cause “its fun” and they know that they not gonna get punished for doing that in any way (people raging at them in map chat only make things “more fun” for trolls). As soon as they know that siege trolling is a bannable offense – they will think twice before doing so. A simple official statement will reduce the amount of trolls by 95%.
2. Any kind of automated reporting feature is bad. Cause players can abuse it – all it takes a troll guild of X players and your legitimate commander will be prevented from performing his duty.

3. To solve the problem I think you should put current WvW ranking system to a good use. Like make some additional feature (maybe new purchasable trick for commanders), that feature should require high enough rank so troll/alt accounts will not be able to use it. Maybe rank 1000 is enough? My guess is that most active commanders should have rank 1000 to date. The trick can be the following: no one can deploy siege near commander, duration – 1hr, cost – a hundred badges of honor etc. You can even make it a guild trick – only guildies can deploy siege. This will prevent potential issues with 2 legitimate commanders working as a team on the map – they can just rep the same guild etc.

4. Friendly siege should have an owner name on it. If some troll dropping 100 balistas or building 100 trebs to dry supply – it will be really easy to screenshot and report that kid

At least one amulet was sold about 5 days ago for 1500g listing price and i havent seen any more listings or fulfilled buy orders. item does exist but its ultra rare (like chaos of lyssa) and possibly loot chance is bugged

My friends (who are veterans of Arah) said that item been there before, its just ultra rare.

This reminds me of chaos of lyssa bug – same rarity.

Exotic version of Pendant of Arah is a part of collection. Item has not been listed on TP in the past 5-6 days, buy orders up to 1000g

I do realize that its a rare drop from a rare dungeon but is it supposed to be THAT rare? I myself has run it 300+ times and never seen that item before.

Please investigate

Thank you

Which is the following: dungeon selling makes no good for community. You can advocate for ‘party leader’ feature and honestly you will get my support on that, but advocating for dungeon selling is very selfish.
I can repeat it in every post to make it crystal clear.

You guys should stop attacking me personally. It wont work – I am immune to trolls.

By “the community” you mean only people like you, right? Because there is plenty of buyers (some prefer to play wvw or PvP ONLY) but they want the tokens or achievements.
I have had people buying paths from me on a regular basis. They do not wish to do the dungeon. All they want is either tokens, achievements or leveling their alts. But then you show up and say that they have no right to do this. Its you who is being self righteous and wanting them to have no access to that content.

I never said you have no rights to sell dungeons. What I am saying is that you hardly have any right to demand some feature to be developed to support dungeon selling.

You have people wanting to buy dungeon paths from you? Awesome! Why you people crying on forums about hijacking your dungeons then? What you do and what you using LFG for is basically a scamming.

I’m so done here can any mod kittening ban me from this god forsaken forum already.

I feel the same. Waiting for the sweet, sweet release of a forum ban. But I don’t want to just ask for it — I want to earn it :-P

So much hostility from people who can’t stay out of other’s business.

Skady, if you don’t like selling, don’t buy or sell. Easy as that. You’ve said yourself that you “make your own group” and don’t have trouble filling when you do. People who want to run the dungeon may still do so, and the sellers can just sit in their instances, waiting for buyers. No harm, no foul.

So what’s the problem?

The problem is that dungeon sellers behave like a typical vocal minority demanding features just for themselves, ignoring everyone else.

This very thread is the quintessence of what “dungeon selling community” truly is.

- we cannot sell dungeons safely anymore! Waaaaaaa
- give me party leader so i can kick everyone! Waaaaa
- or I rage quit! Waaaaaaa

As I stated before, I run Arah on a daily basis “making my own group”. Go ahead and re-read that part. I have no problems finding a group for any dungeon as of now.

You guys keep attacking me instead of answering to my statement (I can repeat it again, since you keep missing it for some weird reason).

Dungeon selling makes no good for community. It promotes exclusive gameplay and limits people’s experience.

Sarahfull.4930:

I don’t mind dungeon selling.

All I want to understand is this: " Sellers make no good for community "
I believe its false, but I want to understand why you think this

Dungeon selling is OK when its limited to a certain niche. Its a nice convenience feature for those with money to spare (myself included btw).

But if I open Arah LFG and all I see is 5 dungeon selling groups + Arah story group – this is NOT OK. This means that majority of players cannot experience content even if they want to.

And that exactly how it was up until the recent patch.

kuittaa.7360:

Skady.5916:

The only real problem with Arah – lack of knowledge. Sellers are not helping community in any way. I hope developers won’t specifically support sellers or promote dungeon selling.

What stops you creating your own groups and start learning the paths? Why do you need someone to hold your hand? Do you think first persons, who soloed paths had someone telling them how to do it?

Nothing stops me from doing that – I myself run Arah every day since Sept update, mostly with pugs.
And i dont need anyone to hold my hand.
And all your questions are irrelevant to my point.

Read twice before you respond.

People kittenponded and defended dungeon selling so far did not sound like people who enjoy doing what they doing. Most of them sound toxic and tired from the game. I do understand the lack of challenging content and dungeon updates, but its not the reason to bash all other players who do not belong to “dungeon sellers” category.

And yes, most of the dungeon sellers on this forum absolutely sure that “they carry” and “others dont want to learn” – just re-read Trice.4598 posts. Oh well they already edited

Unfortunately, yes. You guys are rude

If you step out for a sec from the middle of the universe you can see how entitled and rude you sound.

- you are absolutely 100% sure that you are god’s gift to video game just based on the fact that you do duo warrior Arah paths
- you are absolutely sure that all other people “do not want to learn” and “only want to be carried”

I remember the days when CoE was a very hard place for a PUG group and only my guild/friend group could actually stack and dodge subject alpha. Now every single PUG group (with rare exception i believe) can do that. I remember the days when AC was incredibly hard and Kholer seemed to be a ridiculous boss to fight – now even you mom learnt how to dodge his pull and boss actually dies in 5-10 sec with all the ascended zerker gear.

The only real problem with Arah – lack of knowledge. Sellers are not helping community in any way. I hope developers won’t specifically support sellers or promote dungeon selling.

Sellers are the only entitled and rude people on this forum. Its not like other people"dont bother with learning", the thing is that 95%+ groups for Arah are selling paths. Thats why 95% of population are still not experienced with dungeon, and that leads you to a false feeling that you “carrying everyone”.

Just stop selling, start runnign it legit and in a couple of months this dungeon will be as common as CoE

Trice.4598:

About Dry Top, seller actually enjoy the difficulty of solo’ing path rather than spamming 1 on guardian with staff, anyway selling is dying because of people like you.

Hey man, I never grieved anyone selling Arah. Are you sure you wanna put a blame on me? Any proof that i grieved somebody?

If you guys enjoying difficulty and challenge so much – how about u let other people join your group and maybe learn something from you? Instead you just scamming community and getting a feeling of a false accomplishment

Wethospu.6437:

People complain because devs could have implemented a system which would both reduce griefing and support selling.

Instead of the current system which just seems to promote griefing.

Why on earth would developers support sellers? Sellers make no good for community. Part of the reason why it is so hard to find a group for Arah, especially for a new/semi-experienced player, is because all ‘veterans’ are too busy selling instead of helping other people. Frankly, you can make more money in Dry Top or whatever the best open world faming spot is right now. Hell yeah, I even make more gold in EOTM!

p.s. I agree on the grieving part thou Arah sellers are the true grievers

I always ask mesmer/guard if they have feedback/wall slotted if I actually need it. Better ask (and kick if answer is wrong) than wipe on trash at start.

I pug dungeons everyday, pugs are mostly decent nowadays, but sometimes you run into that mace/shield guardian with no wall

Can anyone clarify which path(s) of Arah drop that extremely rare item? All of them? Or specific path?

Thanks!

How about that:

1. Allow players to buy colors with WvW Badges of Honor.
2. Allow players to unlock colors with WvW ranks.
3. Allow players to unlock colors based on WvW achievements (like Ultimate Dominator etc). BTW more than a year ago you promised to revise current WvW achievements, fix them and make them actually ‘achievable’ (1 mln dolyaks heh)

4. What about private commander tags? Visible to guild only? That was also requested million times on these forums. FYI most guilds run in WvW tagless for this entire reason

Question: Will we be finally able to PARSE combat logs?
