Guild Wars 2

Personally, taking into account connectivity failure and latest “perfect” based on metrics if I’m not mistaken, matchmakings, I’m still thinking if I should open wallet and take out money to purchase so much hyped expansion.

Hamfast.8719:

TL;DR – The OP’s problem is with COMMANDERS, not the community of players. You need LEADERS, because most people are followers.

Can we report those " tl;dr followers" who do not listen to such basic commands/advices such as:

• - Respawn at Waypoint if you’re dead, because you’re upscaling event
• - Stop AoE at Red(Husk), Offshots and Poison Bubbles heal him upon death
• - Destroy Pustules in Middle(Vinewrath 2nd Champion) or we’ll fail
• - Protect Carriers from mobs and Siege Ammunition or fail
• - If you’re Beekeeper’s target then run to Honeycomb to fill it with Insect Swarm
• - Destroy Bubbles when Teragriff is near it or fail
• - Don’t CC Thrasher in Blue Oasis or fail

etc,

Those tl;dr Followers are so kind and never do as they’re told.
Yesterday some dude tried to justify such behavior as
- They’re not reading Map chat.

Sure, but when event fails, then they sure rage & flame on it.

Like I said.

IQ Test upon entering Silverwastes.
IQ Test is the way.

Mentioned many times over.
Report as a botting.

Anet could implement IQ Test upon entering Silverwastes.

Problem solved.

- It was 300 seconds earlier and now is 900? kitten?

Skill Points can be acquired via leveling, and Scrolls.
Scrolls are obtainable from Champion bags from all around the world.

If those were shareable I would’ve send you a stack or two.

MyPuppy.8970:

It takes more time to crush a single turret than most players though…

Players move, dodge, and deal spike damage.
Turrets not.

Josh.5839:

STOP IGNORING THE TURRETS

YOURE NOT GONNA KILL THE kittenBAG ENGI BEFORE THE TURRETS KILL YOU

KILL HIS MAIN SOURCE OF DPS kitten

P.S – I kill Turret engis as melee w/o focusing turrets. Must be hax.

So you guys deny that Gw2 is Play to Win?

If only Nexon would be Gw2 publisher.
Then it would at least be f2p and populated.

segman.3560:

I could understand your argument if the grind was indeed connected to the power level of your gear. However we’re talking about cosmetics. So it is only your choice to aim for cosmetics. Whether it comes from achievements or cash shop it’ll always be some kind of grind.

Now you have a choice:
more time grind – less or no cash spend for a skin
less or no grind – more cash spend for a skin

Looks fair to me. It is only up to you if you go for cosmetics and how are you going to pay for them – with your time/gold or with your cash. You don’t need those skins, you want them. When I want something, I go to work, I get paid and I buy what I want.

The argument is that if i pay 140$ for something, i want to use it when i want, not gated by xmog stones. It doesn’t matter that you can earn them, or buy more of them, if i drop real $ into the skin, i don’t want to have to earn something else to effectively use it more than once. I want to use it, how i want, when i want, NSA.

Unfortunately there are strings, whether people are ok with those or not is an irrelevant point

You don’t need Transmutation Charges for Outfits.

I like the idea of farming all fractal skins for next 10 years.

I knew it.
I always knew it.
I always said it.
Gw2 is p2w.

Travis the Terrible.4739:

If the devs go quiet for months in a nexon game abandon ship before it sinks.

NCSoft rekt City of Heroes, Aion, Lineage ][ and many other stuff.
For me, both are worthy each other.

I’m speechless.

Let’s skip condition topic, since it’s a thing that can kill any build.
In time, even Necro will die.

My sole point is:
Guardian is the only class that can hold few players w/o being kicked out of point which would lead to neutralizing it, till teammates will come and aid him in fight.
Amount of Blocks, stability, invulnerability, retaliation, protection etc is enormous.
I have met few guardians like that with good rotation and fighting them was a horrible waste of time, I find it somehow nice, that Guardian both in name and in playstyle fit together.
So yes, survivability wise and point holding wise, Guardian is far superior than Turret engineer or MM Necromancer.

The main difference between those three, is that Guardian can share his boons which make him more team supportive than engineer or necro.
And yet he’s mobile.
Well, each bunker build and class has it’s pros and cons.

I find it funny how people flame Nexon and make NCSoft look like a good corporation.

Immagine ranger vs turret engi. SADNESS the ranger will be instantly stomped.
Balance ranger ANET

LOL.
Power ranger is one of the easiest counters to turrets.

In theory only.

No, I beat several turret engis back when I was a noob power ranger…
With the trait, you have the same range as the turrets and larger range than the engi, so you can position yourself so that you can take down the rocket turret without any other turrets hitting you (which is also easy to dodge). After the rocket turret is dead, the engi is an easy target.
If the engi walks out to attack you, you snipe down the engi…

You did.
But in reality, majority of LB ranger players in pvp are hugging turret engineers on point just like a thief.

Guardian is the best bunker class.
Both mobile and immobile on point like turret.

The reason why Necromancer isn’t often as daily class for PvP is because ArenaNet want to avoid 1v1 Lich Form spam which would eventually lead to countless QQ threads about Lich Form.

rastaman.1905:

and since you have learned to play the game, why dont you teach us how to handle situations where there is one turret engi holding the close node and another 2 of them holding the middle node?

Why should help those who believe that stick has only one end?

because you are being a smartas, and that does not make you right. offer arguments to support your claims. saying l2p or talking about sticks does not do nothing to support your claims

Oh, I already have tried.
Unfortunately I’m not in possession of cure for stupidity disease.

Like I said in previous thread.

inb4 Nexon Guild Wars 2 F2P publisher.

;)

apocalyps.7106:

do the story which award the coat box on another character , that’s how i completed the set, doing the story again , some story’s give the boxes on another char, some don’t , check the wiki, it tells you which

DID YOU PEOPLE DIDN’T KNOW THAT?

(didn’t read all the wall of text above)

Coat is available only from Vinewrath.
Last story chapter award with head piece.

If you want to fly, then go play Aion.

Vaske.2817:

but i just cant decide and get myself to fricking install the game already

Don’t do it.

Doomdesire.9365:

It shouldn’t be in unranked either. Make it a separate game mode. That way both sides will win. There’s no reason why Anet should mix these game modes.

I know it should be a separate mode due to different game mode and mechanics of that map.
But it’s in unranked atm. So there is not much of a problem.
Because you know.
Leaderboards.

Doomdesire.9365:

Half the courtyard games in unranked end up with half the team AFK. It’s completely ridiculous.

Are you trying to summon Justin with his metrics?

Courtyard isn’t listed in map rotation for Ranked matches.
What’s the problem?

Welcome to Meta Hype, where everyone are the same, do the same, think the same, act the same.
The only difference is Nickname.

Pet’s healing is OP.
Nerf.

Kudos for Lux.

/Message Body length must at least be 15.

3 Vinewrath runs, 3x Carapace Coat boxes.
Honestly, I believe that Anet should tone down drop rate in SW overall.
Especially rare drops and obsidian shards.

VODs w/o chat are not so nice

It is possible, but the moment you go back to character screen, your score is being reset even if it’s a dc.

Choose any class you feel like playing.
Read that class forums.
Go to Hotm.
Train on golems.
Train with class npcs.
Join Unranked matches to fight against other players.
When you’ll catch the thing, and learn maps, join ranked and keep getting better.

Archaon.9524:

face reality

Faced it at 3rd thread that was made about that build.

Everyone have a problem to use such weaknesses as lack of stun breaks, lack of stability, lack of block, poor condition cleanse, poor mobility, poor self damage, locked belt skills, high cd utility skills used beforehand, cramped elite that wipes after 3 quick random aoes.

Proclaimed stronk bunker 1v1 build where the only defense comes from Protection Boon and basic defense value.
Including metal plating, it takes a decent thief to destroy rocket turret a single window between it’s shots.

This is reality – lazy antinoob bunker build.

But I thank you for this precious conversation with you.
You have convinced me that even old players who spent half their game time in pvp arenas can still be nabs and will lurk for anything to justify their wet cheeks.

eithinan.9841:

Ascended gear is easy to get. Just slightly expensive and time consuming. There is no “gear treadmill” since they announced ascended is the final tier of gear in GW2. This method of getting BiS gear is far superior to other games that have you grind the same content over and over and over and over for the chance of getting a piece you want.

Give me an easy crafted item even with time gate over forced replaying of the exact same content….

Or uber Craft ProcYOLO RNG.

Astralporing.1957:

For most people it’s not true.

Would you like to share a poll which back up your words?

OzarcTheDefialer.5346:

top players are overrated… i dueled this nosco necro kid like 20 times, and won almost every single one…. (had to let him win every 5, so he would get discouraged)…. but yea, dont waste ur time with top players… Phanta and nos and wakkey are all easy kills.. if u wnna get better just fight vs urself on another computrr

Most people unfortunately misunderstand and can’t tell the difference, between top team and top players.
Top teams aren’t made from top players.

That’s why, you can see things like, Nosco best necro etc.

Wow.
We have finally reached
- Good X doesn’t play N.

Wonder what Anet will do.
Prove that balance is being maintained by developers or whining level on forums.

Rewards in PvP are normal.
Problem regarding SW is that, it’s overboosted.
And it doesn’t matter, if you spam breach + vinewrath or chestfarm.
Anet already toned it down, but they should tone it down again and adjust further needs to it.

Ascended set is fairly easy to obtain.
It’s also a necessary laurel and gold sink.
If you want it, then craft it, if not, then what’s the point of complaining?

There is a countless amount of people who geared all their characters in ascended gear without need for grinding.

Just because there is some uber minority that think it’s too hard, doesn’t mean it has to be brought down to meet their requirements.

Both are fine if played right.

My point was that Ascended gear isn’t a mandatory.
Exotic from WvW vendor is more than enough.

Gene Archer.8560:

What I’m twisted over is ANet doing a 180 and turning the game into yet another WoW clone.

If I wanted WoW, I’d pay the sub for WoW. This game was supposed to be different. BiS was supposed to be readily and easily obtainable. But now it isn’t. Now it’s RNG or craft your eyes out for BiS.
So hip hip hooray. We can be WoW-lite!

How long does it take to get Best armor part as new player in WoW?

Gene Archer.8560:

I agree with the OP, put the rest of Ascended into the laurel vendor for like 40-50 laurels and be done with this farce. There’s no reason to make it 100 laurels or more. If anything, it should cost far less mats to craft Ascended. 10800 silk is not reasonable.

You don’t have to craft it if it’s too expensive for you.
No one forces you to craft it.

Justin ODell.9517:

I just checked the numbers for unranked arena.

Skyhammer has 7.5% of the votes, and is the map used in 7.2% of games.

I know quite a few people that enjoy the map, so I wouldn’t just assume only trolls vote for it.

Be a man and add it to Ranked please.

runeblade.7514:

6 × 30 = 300 laurels.

Math prodigy spotted.

Archaon.9524:

I answered your question
Now it’s my turn: How many ranked pvp games do you have? Also counting old tpvp and soloq matches ofc

~700

Because you know…it’s always better to autenticate opinions with facts..i know vahn (Mrbig…the guy who opened this thread) and he definately has pvp experience…what about you?

I know people who have over 5 000 matches behind them since release and they still lack basic knowledge about professions, their skills and custom builds and possibilities.
I find it fantastic when those proclaimed experienced and knowledgeable players roll around only “meta world” which in fact is nothing beyond being a popular build which is used by majority, because it’s given right there to lazy people and work one way or another.

Let’s see who is the real lemming here

You’re incapable of making a simple list of pros and cons of such build. You simply repeat after some buthurt guy who shouted that this build is overpowered and needs to be nerfed. Obviously, the more people follow it the merrier, no? In fact there are even those who shared their bitter experience that they died to thumper and rocket turret alone while engineer was absent.
So yes. You’re sadly a lemming that follows some rage hype for that build meanwhile like any of those kids refuse to talk about that build weaknesses.
And that’s why I asked you to list pros and cons of that build, because I wanted to see if you can neutrally look at that build, and if I should take you seriously.
Condition pressure can be spared since it’s the basic weakness for every single class – less for necromancer.
Reason why none of those “Turret OP, NERF” doesn’t want to talk about weaknesses behind that build is simply because they don’t know.
Why they don’t know?
Because they’re simple noobs, who got owned and all they can do is rage on forums with waterfall of tears which makes them unable to see anything else beyond pluses of that build.
