Guild Wars 2

So, I just made a “Meta 50 run, Rolled swamp No gitch Mossman” And it has yet to fill after 15 minutes. /sigh

Edit: Dropped the no glitch, it filled in seconds. Was moot anyway. We go bloom.

Edit: During the Snow Fractal I some how got stuck in the wall some how during the fight. I could still get hit by the Ice agony drops but could do nothing else.

I don’t know if I would say those people should be banned, but the encounter needs fixed.

Personally, I hate it when my group drags him underwater. Although I do know people who do it every time they roll mossman. I will generally just float there and not do anything there are people I know in the group. If its a group of people I don’t know I will just leave.

Gravox the Terrible.2157:

ok never noticed it thank you

It’s very easy to miss if you don’t know its there. Can’t tell you the amount of times I got my face re-arranged by those mobs when I was learning to make that skip.

Eirdyne.9843:

Hi,

I don’t mind doing the dungeons that are around, but I’d like to do them more than one way.

Here’s a fix.

Remove subject words like: OS, Meta, Metazerker, Zerker, Berzerker, Berserker, and etc from being possible to post in the group advertisement listing.

Words that would be allowable: Guard, Thief, Necro, and etc.. ie only class names. This way we can actually play the game.

You built this game so we could play different variations of the classes. Why reward players for breaking your game?

Decided to do CoF path one last night. Had a friend with mw who doesnt like meta or zerker builds.

So I just post. Path 1 leggy

We had my guard my one friend on her ele the other on his ranger. We picked up amother guard and a mesmer. I expected a staff guard. I lost a gold.

So we blasted through the paths no issues. I think that some elitist people slipped into my group! How dare they make it that easy! I mean I melted that door seal in seconds. What a try hard……oh kitten….

Purple Miku.7032:

Problem is it’s a combination of bad play from both your perspective and theirs. Just because you were the last one to go down does not mean that you did a better job than they did, you need to understand that.

However, if they’re repeatedly wiping and blaming you that means they’re just idiots. Either way it’s really frustrating to see a ranger camping longbow. It’s not a weapon that helps groups… you need to understand that if you’re playing selfishly when your other teammates aren’t then that’s considered rude. Everybody around here these days knows your setup is suboptimal and it’s of course going to bother a lot of people.

That said, that doesn’t really excuse the elitism from pugs. I agree that pugs are pathetic for demanding 2 ele/1 thief/1 guard/1 warrior all the time and to be quite frank with you I never play with the people that post LFG ads asking for this because to me, those are just wannabes/tryhards. It’s not the best class comp all of the time, in fact it’s rare for it to be.

Why don’t you just do what I do and avoid groups exhibiting elitism? It’s a simple painless solution. You can’t force people to stop being stupid, you know.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/ranger/Ranger-Hate-Zerkmeta/first#post5475066 As always, you read my mind and say just what I think myself – just more eloquently and w/o making wall of texts. <3 MyKu
P.S. Please notice the different thread name, tho. That’s kinda.. yucky.

I saw you mention the double post before. But I didn’t see anything for it in the general discussion forum. Which makes sense, if a person feels mistreated for playing a ranger where would be the best place to go for a shoulder to cry on? The Ranger Forums of course.

That said. There are many try-hards in this game. However sometimes they are right. Even I get frustrated when someone is camping range and playing it safe most of the fight when I am dancing around the boss with my little 12k hp pool.

And what Purple Miku said. Just because you are the last to go down doesn’t mean you are the best player. A person wearing PvT armor is gonna have a much easier time staying on their feet then a zerker who can only make one maybe two mistakes. That and some classes like Warrior have it alot easier in Zerker gear due to their larger HP pool.

Things to walk away from. Think before you join a group. Make sure you fit them and they fit you. This one simply thing can make everyone’s day easier, even the try-hards…

Not that we care about them.

Also PSA: versatile power on warrior had an ICD placed on it stealthily, no more bundle spam.

Saw this in patch notes actually, this wasn’t a stealth fix.

That is some cringe worthy activity there. I have heard people talk about the EU Gulds before but kinda always chalked it up as people being people. Can’t say I have ever noticed any guilds or players doing that on NA, Dungeon guilds or otherwise.

Regardless of what region ya play in there are good players and bad players in both, and the LFG is for the most part awful in both :P

I am sure there are. In my own experience I have never seen any one doing the stuff that was described. My lfgs have mostly been tolerable. Then again, I run with two friends with the same guild tag 99% of the time. I would guess this helps keep the kittens in line since they know we can kick them if they act up to much.

That is some cringe worthy activity there. I have heard people talk about the EU Gulds before but kinda always chalked it up as people being people. Can’t say I have ever noticed any guilds or players doing that on NA, Dungeon guilds or otherwise.

Of course, I don’t know all the Dungeon guilds on the NA side. I guess I have been pretty blessed because I can only remember a few instances when I pugged were people decided to be kittens. Mostly they were just either in-experienced or bad, sometimes using the wrong armor or weapons, (usually my fellow guardians).

Even then I didn’t feel the need to call them out on it, cause it never really felt to important. Sometimes I would leave early on, if I knew things were gonna go badly, sometimes I would stick with, doing my best to carry if needed.

deSade.9437:

I’d like one portion of sarcasm, with chips/fries whatever on the side, pleez.
No need for salt, I can use all dem juicy tears of hurt feelings.

Honestly there are soooo many QoL changes they could do— but don’t.
- tickboxes in the lfg
- an option to disable instant merge/join (would be better if they simply made it so that it’s a join request in all cases, so the lfg doesn’t get taken out immediately)
- possibility to see nicknames and acct names in the friendlist since I’m dumb and I forget the lil numbers, u.s.w.
But this is totally on top of the lfg/fl QoL changes I’d like to see.
I bet anet is busy reading the threads about legendary armor cries and bunny ears, so I seriously doubt they gonna read it. Clearly bunny ears are more important.

One portion of sarcasm, with chips coming up!

QoL changes for the LFG and Contacts Tab would be a god send. It wasn’t great in GW1 either. But with the complaints we get about kicking and people not reading LFG threads I think it’s past time to move it out of Beta and make it more useful. Hopefully with HoT and the up coming raids there will be some intensive to do some work to it.

The friends list update would be on the top of my list, not sure why its been something neglected. The whole in game message system and top right hand corner feels so clunky at times.

Besides we all know the reason you are against the bunny ears is you secretly afraid of the easter bunny.

“Oh I want to put effort in, just as much effort as any raider, just NOT in raids”. Because farming the godkitten shadow behemoth 200 times is the same as doing hard (well, hopefully) content. ALRIGHT, SURE.

/departs

I guess it was inevitable that anything with Good rewards, (yet to be seen) and difficult content (also yet to be seen) would freak alot of people out. Anet has kinda spoiled the player base up until now. Here is to hoping they stick to their guns on this one.

P.S. Thanks for the gift, it really made my day

dlonie.6547:

You know it’s early when you 4-man CoE path 1 and try to 1-4 the golem spawns.

Not sure why, but this really had me cracking up.

You might not know it. Since its not always obvious with the other characters. Unless you see a weapon they wouldn’t normally have access too.

Example. Here is my chronomancer in WvW

It’s the Beta weekend. Revs and other beta made characters can be anywhere. They don’t however get to keep any loot or items they acquire on their Beta characters.

Like Vayne said.

I’ve had those messages since day (-3).

Glad neither one of you bothered to read before replaying! Thanks for missing the point completely!

But hey! It wouldn’t be the Guild Wars two forms if people actually read what people wrote before replaying.

Thanks for your sarcasm. Some of us read forums late at night, read fast and miss stuff. I know you probably have never had that happen, but I was literally trying to be helpful and answer a question before bed.

I hope that you don’t judge everyone in your life by a single sentence in any context.

With me sarcasm comes free.

Most of it was directed at Ravion, but I was serious about the fact people respond having not read what was written. It is annoying to be dismissed by people who obviously didn’t read. When the solutions they give were already listed in the original post.

I am glad for the other responses. I am glad I was not the only annoyed by this.

Nicely done! I expect we will see an much better improved time when some of the issues with Reaper is worked out.

Quality of life request if anyone feels like giving it a bump

Pleeeease

Currently in game we don’t have an option to just show when a friend pops online. (Or at least if there is I don’t know where it’s at. And I have looked) I like to be social and just say hi to my close friends in game, or invite them to do something. Heck they are the only reason I am still here after all this time.

I have the option of opening my friends list and checking every bit to see who is on or who is off. Which is what I currently do.

Or I can turn on the In Game Messages.

Which I don’t like. It spams my chat bar with every bit of loot I have picked up. If I harvest one tree I have the “You have received 1 Soft wood” Show up 3 or 4 times. This feels redundant anyway since I see the loot showing up on the right side of the screen anyway when I get anything.

Can we please get the In Game Messages updated like what we got with the combat log? Where we can pick and choose which of these messages are sent to our chat bar?

Or some other option that just shows a friend pop up?

deSade.9437:

That feeling when you get a soldier ring and your 3 pugs (longbow warrior, d/d then died 3-4 times at shaman so swapped to p/p thief, unsure of what he was doing ele) joining at the end of the 2nd fractal get 3 ascended boxes and your partner-in-misery gets nothing.
I need someone to hold me so I don’t fall apart. Plz.

I don’t think I’ll handle raiding. It’s just… no.

on the bright side, they might put that new armor to good use and not die to much the next time.

I popped in on my Rev for a bit. Even lagging badly, 200-300 ping I only died once and that was my own fault. I dodge rolled backwards on a bridge and kinda fell off. Don’t judge me!

But yeah, my guess is that none of those guys who ever stepped inside a dungeon if they thought that was “challenging.”

My god. Anet could be right, the Raids really will reduce most of the players in this game to tears.

P.S. the thing i hate most about the Revs is the very limited skills, and how its all tied to the Legends. I know that’s their class concept but. Yeah, not a fan of it yet. Guess I will keep trying it.

P.P.S Is there any truth that Rev might replace guard for meta stuff? Not sure I am really liking Rev enough for that.

P.P.P.S Its not that I hate it, i just don’t want to make all new legendaries. I wasted my gold on Spiky Fruit and gatorade.

We all know there is a faction of players who heard the words challenging and assumed Tanks and Healers would be needed. Dodge is an exploit and we all know it.

Suppose I got work to do.

deSade.9437:

I was gonna type “would be cool to swap an ele for a necro in a dungeon party and try it out” then I thought… whatever. What’s the point?
Anyway, it’s like night and day from the previous beta. Just don’t forget gravedigger is a SLOW skill, even if it’s a big number. The aftercast is still there. It says 1 1/4, but I bet it isn’t any less than 1.6+ and I’m pulling it out of my kitten .
…the thing is, you can’t spam 100b or rapid fire for as long as you like at 50%

I am going to have to ask you to step out of the car sir. Have you been drinking? Cause it almost sounds like your using the words Neco and Good in the same sentence. The Meta try-hards will crack at the very thought of such a thing. It’s kitten near… well its very bad.

You should think about what your doing, everytime you suggest necro might be good a kitten plays in a field of flowers! Think of the madness you are causing here.

P.S. Beta weekends are fun. Still like chrono more, but I love my little evil asura reaper.

I don’t care what Nemmy does. He just hands out such good material for it.

Kordash.2197:

Miku, challenge him to beat Sesshi time on bloomhunger solo. I posted in the other thread. Let’s see how he’ll react.

Seems kinda an unfair challenge for him.

To do that he would need to have Facts, knowledge or skill, and he clearly seems to be lacking one or all of those.

They really should have taken another bank screen shot. shrugs can’t be helped I don’t guess.

Purple Miku.7032:

frifox.5283:

If you want to win an argument, fight in the same environment. Do something impressive in pug run and show them the proof. Presenting video of a perfectly executed encounter isn’t helping, nemesis doesn’t consider that a “valid” argument.

See this is what he was telling me to do.

I just kept honest and outright refused to play his games because I already know what’s going to happen… so I won’t waste my time.

Provided I do everything right, it won’t matter because he’s not the kind of person that’s ever going to admit to being wrong. He wouldn’t have made his videos if he wasn’t absolutely convinced he was the messiah and everything he speaks is factual and that he isn’t biased, and I know that this is the type of guy that will go through any desperate length to cling to his bullkitten beliefs.

I’m not going to waste my time recording something and spend all of this time calculating things perfectly for him with slowed down video evidence and combat logs and whatever other bullkitten he wants just for him to look for another way to call me a filthy exploiter (I mean seriously, whirlwinding into a wall = glitching a boss?????).

I don’t even know why I gave in to my temptations in the first place… usually I’m a lot better these days at resisting the urge to tell idiots off, I guess I just couldn’t handle it last night.

I feel where you are coming from bro. This is the very reason why I don’t like to post in meta discussion threads anymore. There are people in this game who feel strongly about their stance. They haven’t got a clue as to how to back up their side or to even explain why they feel the way they do. But they sure do feel it.

These players grasp at any straws they can find when Facts and logic are not in their favor. They clearly misrepresent facts or simply dismiss them with “it’s an exploit” because that’s all they can do. They have no other options.

The players who flock to him are mostly lost causes. Let’s be honest. As much as would like for us all to be a happy family here, there are some players we will never get along with, he just happens to be one of them.

Do you see it?

Must just be me…

Nemesis do make fair points though in his last response, which is what his vid is about, dont let your hate get in your way, which is also what his vid is about..

When you engage Nemesis in a battle of wits never fair, and rather rude.

It always is when you fight an un-armed opponent.

I think old nem would be the worst Try-harder elitist if Necro was the highest accepted damage and part of every meta. He only tries to manipulate things to get the PHIW group to support him.

I love a desperate last stand as well as the next guy. But I hate Redit to the point that when I even look at the website I feel I have to shower for like a week. Not sure how you can stand it.

Keep up the good fight, know we are supporting you and your work doesn’t go unnoticed.

Zenith.7301:

Don’t like this one bit, and don’t understand how you people can be content.

Core game released with 8 dungeons, 3 alternate paths each. With a set story integrated into the world. I know a lot of newer generation MMO players don’t give a kitten about the story, but I played this game as a continuation of the GW1 story and integration to the world.

Then out comes fractals, which are basically a single path of a 3 path dungeon equivalent. Most of them besides Thaumanova or Ascalon don’t even have any coherent story whatsoever or interaction with any NPC’s or characters. Short mini dungeons except for dredge and cliffside.

I feel like we’re getting “less” packaged and branded as “more”. The fractal additions have been buggy, some still exist several years later, and the rewards are terrible RNG instead of the token system they hyped the game with before release.

And now for something completely different.

Skill Targeting
1001462_0163 Allow Skill Retargeting
1001463_0638 When using a skill that targets enemies, changing your target will cause the skill to update with the new target.
1058992_0365 Snap Ground Target to Current Target
1058994_0653 The ground-target marker will reposition itself to your current target’s position so long as it is within range.

Seems like nice PvE QoL changes esp for engineers.

Yes plz. Could make playing mine bearable. She’s hot, but I can’t stand the profession.

:D

Let’s Party!

Let’s get a little crazy!

WvW players have been asking for something that would allow us to make Sup Siege faster/easier for some time. So far there hasn’t really been any answer on how this might be done. I am all for anything that makes for less clicks at the mystic toilet.

He also says: “I doubt people who can’t afford a commander tag will be able to do raids.”

What is this, a new type of rich casual?

Meh, wish I had never bought my tag.

The hobo pack as it was called got removed with the specializations update.

Mine is a warrior, but I put him in light armor with the same skins as my Asura, kinda turned out like this.

I use the Hall of Monuments armor with mine. I think it looks rather good on my necro.

Kinda new to this party, kitten WvW.

Granted I only skimmed the thread. But I would like to see more use of Environmental weapons. Kinda like with the Berserker Abomination in arah path two. Or perhaps a sword that we need to carry though and do something with to unlock “unique” skill sets of which we choose one of three different sets, depending on our party composition.

Speaking of Arah I would love to see a plant version of Lupi, kinda like the undead version. Something huge and with multi phases, only with more of a plant theme. Maybe even a Lupi that was some how controlled by a giant plant.

Just some random thoughts and all.

deSade.9437:

Move to eu, Tallinn? <.<

I have thought about it.

But I am allergic to lag, and I got a couple of friends who would kill me if I moved to where I couldn’t play with them. They are like the only three I have left, but they are really good ones.

I have thought about creating a Free account on EU to see how bad it would be to laggy.
