Guild Wars 2

BurrTheKing.8571:

We already spend those 30 points on average but good God if we HAD to spend 30 points that would make the build variety drop down to Guardian levels.

This made me smile. I mean with Guardians being in such a good spot right now, would it really hurt the warriors all that much

Uhtameit.2413:

Snip

Bro, you come here talking like you are the second coming. Please just do us all a favor and stop. You made your point. You can talk alot of boring smack. Yawns I have read better. Alot better from a lot better trolls then you.

You attack posters, and quote a few traits or skills and how they work on paper. I could copy paste that from wiki too if i wanted.

There are smart people playing guardian. Yet after reading your post, I am really starting to wonder about you.

So let us look at what your most recent post just to me, your personal attacks at me and other posters aside.

Torch is a very good off hand weapon and if you don’t think it is, well…you’re just clueless, darling. .

I am wondering if you and I are even playing the same game, What part about either torch skill makes it a better off hand then the guardian focus? Or even the shield. At least focus and shield sever purposes.

I am certainly not going to use one for its ranged options. Trust me, this is one weapon Guardians leave in there bag, if they bothered to buy one at all.

Uhtameit.2413:

I don’t see how I was incorrect anywhere at all. Does knowing the specific name of the trait will get me anywhere? Again, no. And yeah, chill, cripple and immobilize can be cleansed. What do you want now? something to cover it up? Would Signet of Spite be good enough for you? Had you bothered to read you would know with traited meditation skills you can get fury so 70% of crit, which means it’s very likely it will proc.

If I am going to quote any skill or trait I at least take the time to look up what I am quoting, that way I look less like a kitten

You talk about Meditation guardians, I am familiar with them and I do run one from time to time. However, if you look at the Skill tree that this awful trait is in you will find that it there are a lot better traits that we can pick from.

Why when other professions have cripples and chills built into weapon skills do the guardians have to give up good traits to get the same effect? An effect that is randomly and not on demand? For a melee class sticking on our target is a huge part of how we play.

Given that Glacial Heart random it might proc at the start of the fight or at any time. One randomly applied cripple is not good Soft CC. Not when it takes 30 seconds before it can proc again. Are you even reading between your insults?

I never heard of anyone using that term before, but yes, it’s probably to criticize me based on my lack of a vocabulary

Soft CC is a term used on alot of threads, quite frequently, if you want to come to a thread and post a lot of insults at least know what the terms are so you don’t just look like a kitten.

Uhtameit.2413:

Edit : Haha, no wonder you’re clueless : a WvW warrior XDDDDDDD. Go in peace and zerg away while thinking you are knowledgeable, be nice.

No darling I play a guardian, and a good one. I don’t zerg, I zerg bust. So yet for one more time your wrong.

It is actually quite sad and I am starting to feel sorry for you. Better Troll next time.

GJ NV! Oh yeah… and Noc…. Nice vid, there were some awesome fights that night.

You are thinking of the next bay hold, Saturday night just gone. Unfortunately we didn’t get footage! T_T
That night was equally epic, that bay was under siege for what…. 4 hours that night?!?! was pretty amazing it held.

This particular vid was from the week prior

God, what a night that was. Did the War Counsel give you your metal for holding the bay yet?

I don’t play WvW for the rewards. I play it cause I enjoy it.. I would make more money farming or running dungeons. If WvW starts to get the same rewards as farming champs or dungeons it will just make more people flood it to make cash. This is neither wanted nor needed.

I will be happy when Seasons are over and we can go back to business as normal.

Uhtameit.2413:

As for soft cc, GS has one.

Do you even know what soft CC is?

I realized what he meant by that later on, since it is just a pull I thought it fit in. Do you realize how unconstructive you are by not reading the rest of the thread?

One could ask you the same question. Given how you have acted for alot of this thread and yet I have never seen your name anywhere on the Guardian Threads.

You have quoted a trait incorrectly that you didn’t even know the name to, like Glacial Heart. You ignore that it only last 4 seconds if not cleansed on a 30 second cool down. It is randomly applied even with a high crit chance there is no way to know for sure if it will work when needed.

I stopped even bothering to read your post after you suggested Glacial Heart and Torch as viable options in combat. After looking through your post history I see you spend alot of time on the Engi thread. I have a level 80 engi, but I don’t play him much, it doesn’t give me the right to walk into an engi thread and start telling you how to play that job. Even if you have a level 80 guardian I don’t think you have really played around with it enough to know the ends and outs of it in most situations.

Given that you didn’t even know what Soft CC was I wonder about other things to, but I won’t post them here.

Rovaeden.8546:

I don’t understand why so many people in the community seem to have zero imagination, vision or creativity.

Oh, i agree. Mounts are so cliche… can’t we ask for something new and creative instead?

Seven Star Stalker.1740:

None of you have provided a reasonable basis for them to not be on the game.

It’s not like people asking for mounts supply any reasonable reasons for their inclusion.

Except none of the reasons have been any more acceptable than those for them.

“I don’t like mounts” Yeah well, some people do. So that’s not a reason.

“Other games have mounts, play those” Other games have quests! And maps! And load screens! And PVP! And levels! Lets remove all those too! Or rather, why don’t people leave for WoW/Tera/Whatever the hell else for those features too!

“Mounts and anti-immersive, clunky, badly implemented, Lore defying” Really? Really now? Show me the proof for where in GW2 Mount use hasn’t been allowed. Maybe no one thought of it yet lore wise? We’ve already had unorthodox mounts on the form of ships in missions, golems, portals/elevators/lift systems and others. And as for anti-immersive, well, what about minis, many legendaries and skins, many NPC joke quotes, tonics and many other features like Candy-Cane weapons and the like? What makes any of those immersive? Find me the line in Lore that says that Minis are actually a in game lore feature, that are central to the story. I challenge you.

“Clutter and clipping” Yeah well, Norn and Charr can do that solely from existing so the last thing on your mind should be mounts when two races cause that issue already.

“We already have waypoints” right, so let’s remove speed boosting abilities and stuff that grants swiftness.

The only basis I’ve seen is, “There’s too many things ANet needs to do first”, which doesn’t really disqualify them, rather, it just sets back their prioritisation. In terms of reasoning for removing them, there is nothing stopping ANet from implementing them aside from, “We don’t want to” or “It’d require more resources than it’s worth”, the latter of which I can sort of understand I guess.

If you want to play that card. I got one better.

I have yet to read one good or compelling reason to add them. NOT a single one. The game was built around not needing them. Sorry.

GW1 DID NOT HAVE PLAYER MOUNTS.

Not exactly true:
http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20061228172821/gw_/images/0/0d/Junundu.JPG

That was like the WORST part of guild wars 1. It isn’t making the Mount Argument any more valid.

Mounts are redundant. We got waypoints, even if one is contested I am sure you can/will find one open near it.

As for a better reason? We have enough broken issues with this game that need fixed. Anet doesn’t need to waste time on a useless feature like mounts. We have necoed this Horse beat it to death, necroed it and beat it to death again.

Just let the poor mount die, it will thank you later

Bo Van Swill.7619:

I have to say how nice is it to see a video where the commander is not screaming like a banshee.

SHHHHHHHHHhh

Man don’t do that. Geeze Blade has a big enough head as it is anyway. We don’t need it any bigger

:(

And that is saying something…. He plays a char

I really cant get enough of this thread. I have learned yo play ranger so well I started a second one. True story

Alot of people would like this. I don’t foresee it in the april patch, but we might get it at some point.

Don’t worry, this world boss will get an update, and after the initial rush only a few guilds like TTS will still do it regularly.

I think most people in T1 will agree Blade is one of the Coolest and most Chill guys around.

chronometria.3708:

With the announced changes all guilds are crossrealm, events are on a fixed timer….basically, the only reason they are keeping the server names around is because of WvW and I don’t predict that will last long.

Given enough time, people will just want to be with their guilds and they will see their server tag as an obstacle. “Why cant I wvw with my guild”, they will ask and then we will see changes.

The megaserver makes an edge of the mist style three faction matchup a certainty. It is only a matter of time before the server concept is eradicated for good.

And by then they will need megasevers because alot of people will have moved on entirely.

Edit: Besides, that doesn’t look to be what they are aiming for.

“Though we are moving to our new megaserver model in PvE, it’s extremely important to us that we maintain the level of identity and competition in WvW that we’ve established since the release of Guild Wars 2. The entire game mode is based on battles between different players aligned to the named worlds, and as such we have no plans to remove this concept from WvW.”

Kalyani.1453:

Okay…so why not have it guild and player based (for those without guilds)? Positions could be determined by guild count/activity, and current point status of each color. Voice communication would primarily be guild based, but many guilds already tend to use their own channels for WvW rather than public ones, so it wouldn’t be much of a change.

I’m merely providing ideas to balance out gameplay. Sometimes “terrible ideas” can evolve into good ideas with enough feedback and ingenuity.

Sorry, but some ideas will always be bad. I get it that the lower tiers are asking for something more. But you can’t expect to destroy communities like we have built of players and guilds and not run in to very stiff opposition. If Anet were to decide to go with your idea that would happen. And once you start messing with something like that players will leave. If you have any doubt look at the Discussion fourms with the Roleplayers and the WvW community is even harder to please.

SchvagnumPI.3891:

Defending is broken full stop.

Me, by myself with an AC vs 10 man group:

First encounter I kill their catapult and down 2 ppl, who get rezed. They run away to a camp to collect more supplies.
I get NOTHING. Despite the fact I saved the tower, I didnt repair or kill anyone so I get nothing

Second Encounter they build a ram, which I take down and again down a player but cannot defeat.
I get nothing for saving the tower again

They proceed to PvD. I can only down 2 but they get rezed again
I get nothing for saving the tower again

So I hold 10 guys at a tower for 8-9 minutes and got nothing.

Defending blows!

Sounds like a lack of server support. If your server wanted to hold that tower they would have sent you some help. I know anytime one of our T3 towers is in trouble we will rally to it unless we have something more pressing, Like a keep etc that demands attention

No thank you. Lets keep our servers.

I wont say it is needed. But I would not object

Defending will always be important for PPT. The server commanders just have to be willing to dedicate resources to the job.

That said more defensive siege wouldn’t be objected too.

Seemore Bunz.7345:

Again warriors ARE NOT the only class that can instant revive. Necros, Guardians, and Eles also have a instant revive ability that they can spam. We can stop the warriors no problem, but other classes can revive from 900 range or more! The attacking force already has to worry about clearing the cap circle, Keeping the lord dead, stopping enemies from entering multiple directions, and surviving the pressure being applied to them. It shouldn’t be allowed to instantly revive the lord 40 times to defend a fortification. The game is just rewarding bad defense at that point.

And again, no one says warriors alone are your problem. I am aware there are many classes that are able to rez the lord. BUT again, I don’t see this as the problem, if you read my early post I said quite clearly the fault is your for not killing the players. The game isn’t awarding bad offense, that seems to be the problem your having here. In my experience we don’t have problems with constant rezing of the lord unless we are trying to take a fully upgraded garrison or other structure with a waypoint. If this is the case those structures should be harder to take.

But wow, I can’t keep repeating myself like this.

Cheers, I am out.

Zaxares.5419:

The achievement is really for completing the puzzle..

Sorry but no its not. An achievement for completely a puzzle that is set in a Group of achievement focused around fighting and winning a PVP setting. Just like the rest of the achievements. They are focused on WvW which is PvP.

It has nothing to do with the skill of those players. But what grinds my gears is all the QQ here by the achievement hunters.

They can have their living story, they can have their easy eat this or walk to there achievements. But when they want to take up a space in WvW to kill yacks, or try to do this jumping puzzle or what not they need to realize that the other side will want to kill them.

I don’t think of myself as a bad guy. I will be the first person to run to the aid of someone getting killed in PvE. But when someone steps into a PvP environment they have to be able to defend themselves or sneak though. I don’t care which. But don’t expect other players to make it easy for them. And any notion of Honor was left behind the moment they logged into the Video Game world.

It isn’t greifing. It isn’t being mean. What it is, is the way the game was intended to be played.

That is all I have to say on the matter. Peace.

I won’t be coming back here, I got a season to win.

Seemore Bunz.7345:

The Problem at hand isn’t the ability of killing the defenders, otherwise EVERY keep would have this dilemma. However like I said before this problem is only prevalent in the EB keeps/SMC and Garrison Keep (as those literally take under a minute to run back to after dying). I believe that a limit of the amount of instant-revives the lord has OR not resetting the cap bar after a revive are all viable and necessary changes that would make WvW in general more interesting, fair, and entertaining (especially considering that we are at the height of WvW activity right now for season 2).

Did you not consider this was by design? That anet wants certain objectives to be hard to flip. Geeze

Sorry about your luck…

But as Anet has said before. Kill the players if the lord got bannered it is because you did not kill all the defenders. The door treb is already supposed to be nerfed. I for one do not want all of wvw to be a big karma train.

Learn to kill the defenders first or no rewards for you.

No

moiraine.2753:

PvP is not meant to be equal.If someone doesn’t like what is happening to him(ganking,farming) must stop doing the puzzle and go do it when there are less people.When you are PvP enabled there is no such thing as etiquette.Everything can happen to you.’’Reasonable’’?WTF are you talking about.PvP is never reasonable neither fair.It’s kill or be killed.Nothing more nothing less

There’s competition and there’s “just being a jerk”. If you don’t think etiquette and respecting other players matters, go into the Arena and start messing up other people’s duels or GvG. See how they react to you. (And remember that even ANet reprimanded their own staff member when he complained that GvG’ers were “ruining his game mode” and started kicking them out.)

If your retort is that people in the Arena are obviously there for duelling/GvG and not for open PvP, then how is that different from the players who are just there to complete the JP for their achievement? They are here for a completely different experience to what you want to enforce on them. Attacking them or shoving them off cliffs when they are non-hostile to you is like those guys who keep blasting skill #1 on the Horn in your ear when you’re at the Bank or BLTC, or who just keep spamming your chat window with /surprised emotes. You just want to annoy other players.

Ultimately though, I think the fault lies with ANet for not including a solution that lets people who just want to do the JP for the achievement get through without any trouble from other players. They should have put an NPC at the start of the JP that gives you the Determined buff so you’re completely invulnerable to other players, but also disables all your skills.

Who do you think put PvP in to a jumping puzzle? Who do you think set up the Achievement to run a PvP jumping puzzle to get a PvP achievement?

Achievement hunters need to realize not ever achievement will be as simple as eating 25 pieces of food or mining 10 times. Sometimes your gonna have to actually… do something.

Yeah, I miss all those bags I used to pick up after killing you. Come on back up. I would love some more. <3

Given how hard we laughed at the youtube video of your guild getting slammed. But in case you have forgotten due to one to many hammer hits to the head. I hunted it up for your viewing pleasure.

No, I don’t think asking for all of our Skills to be usable is asking for to much. Some might call for buffs in other areas, I myself would be content if anet would fix Spirit Weapons to start with. CC, Traits, Signets and Mobility would just be Icing on the Cake

I don’t care if We got Elona Or Cantha first. But I do want to see then both in Guild Wars 2

Welcome to guardian life. I have ask for this to be looked at before, but no one ever pays any attention

VaaCrow.3076:

It has nothing to do with anet that low populations servers suffer, it is down to player choice/greed. ANET gives players the choice and they bugger up the servers by stacking them, if you want someone to place blame on place it onto the player

There’s a point when you have to put restrictions in place and can’t hand-wave it away because “it’s the community’s fault.” I’m not sure if this is that point, but it’s silly to just dismiss any complaint about negative behavior like that. ArenaNet controls the game and, by extension, the players. They are the only ones with the power to urge the player base to do something.

Sorry but there has to be a point where the community gets held accountable. Those that move and those who stay and want to complain. We do not not need mommy and daddy or in this case anet telling us were or when we can play. Some chose to move others did not. We all are accountable for our own actions.

If it’s red it’s dead….. That ia the only rule in pvp

We tend to have most of the temples open. Balth can be tricky but more often then not we at least attempt a push at it once or twice, until it unlocks or the zerg gives up. That will probably change with the up coming season two. I know my Guild is gonna be spending alot more time in WvW for the foreseeable future.

Fractal skins used to be in that boat. Not so much. I remember when my Fractal sword first droppes. It was a huge deal. That has really changed. Be nice if there some other kinda reward for harder content. By that i mean 5 man instances not stuff like Teq.

Really? that has changed? kitten off.
After doing fotm for 4 months religiously (20/30/38/49) I got 7 skins in total. GS/rifle/shield/spear/pistol/shortbow/ and my last drop the fractal sword. 2 of my partners in fotm have never seen the sword/mace drop in 1 year of doing fotm. Fractal skins are a huge deal.

LOL, yeah really. Kitten off yourself. Just because me and my buddies have seen a different RNG then you doesn’t make you any more right. But whatever. I don’t really care.

I don’t want Footsteps on my Flameseeker. The entire reason I made this legendary weapon was because it looked cool and didn’t have any dumb foostep effects.

I hope it comes before then

Oh, I’m sure people would love it for convenience’ sake.

I don’t think the gear economy would enjoy it very much, though. If people never had to buy more than one set of gear, then the fairly steady supply of loot (based on the entire playerbase anyway) would quickly pile up and bottom out in the face of a quickly-diminishing demand.

incorrect, people would still need to buy new sets to unlock them.

for example,

1. craft ascended berserker chest armor
2. craft ascended soldiers chest armor
3. combine both pieces of ascended chest armor
4. get one piece of ascended chest armor that can change between berserker and soldier stats
5. craft ascended clerics chest armor
6. combine with zerker / soldier chest armor
7. that chest armor now can swap between zerker / soldier / cleric stats

people still need to craft a lot of sets.

I figured these threads would pop up again as soon as Anet announced that Ascended would be account bound. Honestly I feel they should have left those soul bound, sure it makes my life easier but I don’t feel it will be the best for the game economy.

no, it already started back in 2006 about 8 years ago.

account bound ascended armor is nice, but able to change stats is even better.

no, the ability to change stats on all types of gear must be made available to everyone, not just limited to legendary weapons owners only.

The point is that no matter how easy anet makes this game people will want it easier. I do not care how far back through the years you dig

And no it muat not be. If you want to stat swap get a legendary.

no, you are wrong.

the point is, anet will continue to make the game as easy as can be for casual players, because casual players make up the bulk of the player base. this is fact, proven again and again as time passes by.

the wardrobe announcement is just another recent example of how anet listens to the community and implements their requests into the game.

changeable gear stats system will come.
it is only a matter of time.

and, no.
legendary = ugly skins, purely optional.
change stats = quality of life improvement for everyone, must have.

I would think that had anet intended to move this to ascended they would have in this patch. I really like how it goes from a discussion to a your wrong thread. Point is you want the game easier. It is all you care about. I myself like a challange and a discusssion. This thread has neither. I wont bother wasting any more time here.

For me personally, No. Signets are never on my skill bar. I don’t like to rely on passive defense like the signet when I could blind, dodge, block or reflect damage.

I would put signets on the list of guardian skills that need to re looked at, right up there with Spirit Weapons.

What are you talking about?

First off, don’t join those groups of players who ask you to change traits. If you are excluded from a group, make your own and have fun playing the way YOU want, with like-minded individuals.

Secondly, making it only work in major cities partially defeats the purpose of making it doable anywhere in the world since you would have to go to a place that the trainers were in in the first place. The only thing that would change at that point is the small cost associated with the reset would go away. This also would not stop people from “forcing” you to go to a major city to change stats to play with them.

Lastly, I still don’t understand why people like you simply cannot live with being excluded from some groups even when it’s just as easy to make your own group and let others play the way THEY want.

Don’t worry – I don’t plan to join a group of people like that. It’s not myself I am concerned about (I am happy to ignore those kinds of people), it’s the effect on the community that my concerns lie.

But I know my ‘solution’ is hardly solid (just a minor inconvenience if that) – but if anyone has any other suggestions then that would be great.

What effect on the community?

It can help foster elitist tendencies. It’s why we don’t have an inspect feature. I don’t think itd have much of an effect in that regard though.

It wont. There’s no way to share what traits you’ve got other than you informing them. If they demand xyz traits, fiddle around for 5 minutes, and tell them you changed your stats when you really didnt. Most of the time they wouldnt even be able to tell. A large majority of people just dont care about changing their stats. If you dont like the fact I run 30/25/0/5/10 on my ele, go trip on a pile of crap and land face first into a puddle of chunky vomit. I’ll change it when I kitten well want to.

Yeah i don;t think it’d have much of an effect on its own. If it were paired with other systems it’d be a ball ache.

I like your attitude btw. I’m personally more concerned with reasons why someone chose particular trait set up. I don’t take “it’s the meta” as sufficient

It’s the same reason my guardian wont run anything other than PVT. Especially when I’m running a dungeon for the first time. PVT means I’m going to live longer during mistakes or late actions. Take lupi in arah for example. He’s got an attack that wall of reflection CAN work against, often to spectacular results. I’ve fought lupi a grand total of 0 times before I was invited on that run. I have no clue what his tells are, and still dont, yet I was willing to walk into that aoe circle and be ready to drop WoR on that skill of his. I’m looking at 20k hp on my guardian, and I’m losing roughly half that by the time I can drop the wall. If I was zerker, I’d be eating dirt.

In fact, there was a point in that fight I was the only one not downed and had to tank lupi while picking people up. I dare anyone in zerker to do that.

Do it all the time. Its calling dodging. Lupi has tells that are pretty obvious. I would hate to point out if you hand’t been running PVT that those zerkers you picked up might not have been down in the first place. If you are in doubt you can go to youtube and search for Lupi Solo and you will see that soloing him isn’t exactly difficult

Seems you missed the part where I said it was the first time I’d even ran the dungeon, nor did I have the time to bother looking that kitten up in the middle of a run. Kthxbai Mr. Elitist.

No, I didn’t miss that part at all. You said you challenged a zerker to Run in on the first time. The very first time I ran Arah I was a zerker guardian, my group kill him just fine. If someone does there research or takes the time to learn about a dungeon before hand you can see the attack etc. But I guess its so much easier to let the group carry you then to actually do your home work. Call me an Elite if ya like, its hardly an insult.

What are you talking about?

First off, don’t join those groups of players who ask you to change traits. If you are excluded from a group, make your own and have fun playing the way YOU want, with like-minded individuals.

Secondly, making it only work in major cities partially defeats the purpose of making it doable anywhere in the world since you would have to go to a place that the trainers were in in the first place. The only thing that would change at that point is the small cost associated with the reset would go away. This also would not stop people from “forcing” you to go to a major city to change stats to play with them.

Lastly, I still don’t understand why people like you simply cannot live with being excluded from some groups even when it’s just as easy to make your own group and let others play the way THEY want.

Don’t worry – I don’t plan to join a group of people like that. It’s not myself I am concerned about (I am happy to ignore those kinds of people), it’s the effect on the community that my concerns lie.

But I know my ‘solution’ is hardly solid (just a minor inconvenience if that) – but if anyone has any other suggestions then that would be great.

What effect on the community?

It can help foster elitist tendencies. It’s why we don’t have an inspect feature. I don’t think itd have much of an effect in that regard though.

It wont. There’s no way to share what traits you’ve got other than you informing them. If they demand xyz traits, fiddle around for 5 minutes, and tell them you changed your stats when you really didnt. Most of the time they wouldnt even be able to tell. A large majority of people just dont care about changing their stats. If you dont like the fact I run 30/25/0/5/10 on my ele, go trip on a pile of crap and land face first into a puddle of chunky vomit. I’ll change it when I kitten well want to.

Edit: Even saved you the trouble of doing the search. Enjoy

For myself, and I know other members of the Guardian community those words feel like more of an insult then anything else. I hate hearing or reading those four words.

I won’t say we are doing badly, or there are not areas that we doing very well. But in those areas, we are primarily using the same builds we were a year ago. This means they neglected what needs fixed, CC mobility signets and Spirit weapons

I do not feel ascended account bound was needed. But it only makes me stonger as now I just need to swap rather then recraft. Shrugs The game just got easier and all that gold will just keep piling up in banks.

Maybe the patch will include some movement of traits…. Yeah probably not but that is the only way this could work.
