Guild Wars 2

To get you to go out an play actual WvW.

That’s why.

Don’t worry it’s just DB usual pre-season tanking again

(disregard the fact that no seasons have been announced)

Hotkey for toggling “First Person”

Sometimes i want to quick change POV, not go adjust settings.

Additionally…

A Template for multiple Camera Settings that could be toggled (perhaps per game mode).

As someone who plays by hand….

I don’t care about macro’s 1 way or the other.

It’s not about pride, it’s about the music. When i play music it’s not for me, but for the people around me. It’s no different for those people who use macro’s.

Also, it’s a game. It’s not like this game is your lively hood. You’re not losing out on anything by playing by hand. If anything you’re offering something that is increasing in rarity, an actual live performance which believe it or not most people enjoy more than the macro’s which are painfully obvious.

I’ve personally had 0 drop.

But i’ve been in parties when the following have dropped

The Colossus – EBG Skelk
Zap – EBG Veteran Guard
Tooth of Frostfang – EBG (some server) Invader
Dawn – EBG (some server) (some rank) was too big a fight to know who
Rodgort’s Flame – Giganticus Lupicus
Leaf of Kudzu – CoF path 1 Reward Chest

I’m all for making necro’s play more engaging than

I mean, press 1 spam really isn’t what any class should be designed around.

Reverence.6915:

How to make WvW more rewarding:

1. Remove Badge of Honor rewards from Edge of the Mist
2. Make Badges of Honor worth something.

You forgot remove Wxp from EoTM, Reduce Karma and Gold Gain in EoTM.

Increase Gold and Karma gain in WvW by 25%.

Change current Wxp rewards to have a guaranteed rare or better reward every (x) levels.

Dungeons, Fractals, sPvP, and WvW are pretty much the only times i party unless im being a taxi for guild missions.

Never once had an issue for credit for world events so never saw the point of partying there.

Gonna say…Yes it has issues.

However, i can overlook (HUE) the issues here as it’s giving me as a player more avenues to be creative in this game. Something it was in desperate need of (a Machinma community) can now thrive. Landscapers and others people who want to take dramatic screenshots can now do so much easier.

So no, don’t revert it. Just work on it until such time as it is completely stable.

Blazinflames.8415:

If you are talking about the character running to the left. It’s most likely a Necromancer.
Edit: It’s also wearing the light armor feathered head piece.

Focus isnt a main hand for neco, neither is torch. It’s already confirmed Necro gets GS.
Also, that hood is whispers medium

Whatever it is the flame texture itself is black.

Attachement added to show it.

Ballads.2509:

Wvw Gear needs an unlimited version that can be used on only wvw gear maybe, or they could just let wvw gear be salvaged.
While Dungeon runners and Crafters can easily salvage their runes as they upgrade gear or change specs WvW players are forced to permanently lose runes by slotting them sans this item. Which is sad as because wvw has the most viable gear choices where as most pve players agree its Zerker or go home.

Salvaged and Forged.

No reason dungeon gear/armor can and WvW can’t.

The restriction needs to go.

Dirame.8521:

X T D.6458:

And why not make rewards based on individual progress to actually earn content related rewards like siege and stuff

I think that’s what the WvW progression system is for.

People get rewards from WvW ?

I mean i get 2 blues / a Blue and a Green every level up but calling that a reward is like calling a Kool-aid, Gatorade.

Mishi.7058:

Sure tex because the only people who play in WvW only play to kill others. None play for the sieging aspect right?
/sarcasm

I’d hope they play to kill others as that is part of sieging. There’s 0 siege needed when no one defends.

What i’m absolutely not keen on is the over reliance of a poor scoring and performance mechanic that is easily abused and only dissuades actual fun gameplay for zerg balling and AC spam.

But to each their own.

Maybe one day any of the numerous scoring critiques will actually be taken seriously and revised and put into the game as a trial similar to what they did with PPK.

Focusing on the “fastest way to level” is the best way to ruin the game for yourself.

Fast leveling means we get through the crappy NPE quickly which actually ruins the game experience for most of us…

I do not agree with your assessment here, and reject your usage of “us”

I said most of us…

That’s still probably inaccurate, although I don’t have the data to back it up.

For what it’s worth, among people with whom I’ve discussed the NPE, everyone wishes it was the original system, especially since the gating goes away quickly and the rewards are much better. (That said, people are very unhappy with trait unlocks, which pre-dated the NPE and dislike the hack/slash changes to the personal story — and fortunately the latter is going to be fixed soon.)

The only good change to the NPE was the bonus rewards. Everything else including gating skills and access to class mechanics is bad. Traits were just icing on the bad cake.

It’s 2015, can we just delete PPT entirely and get back to killing people instead of structures ?

The best idea i saw on this was just split the rewards

Give WvW 1 gift of exploration, and PvE 1 gift as well.

I hope it never even sees the light of day on a console, heck i hope they never even consider developing/porting the game for one.

Astralporing.1957:

runeblade.7514:

I disagree.

Self rooting melee skills is for the high risk and high reward which is needed for skill based games.

Meanwhile “Rapid Fire” exist and is basically a mobile, ranged version of Hundred Blades.

Risk, Reward ?

It is also much weaker, and can be reflected.

Also, remember, that not every weapon is meant for every gameplay mode. Warrior hammers, for example, are next to useless in PvE. 100b is primarily a PvE-balanced skill.

Much weaker ? yeah good joke.

Can be reflected, HB can be blocked, blinded, dodged etc…Counters exist in the game, but that does not justify skills being absurd and having no sense of balance.

Aidenwolf.5964:

3. New PVP map (Incorrect)
4. Mastery System (Incorrect) / They will have partial access.

WvW players might not have access to the new WvW map but ehh just live on EB and kill away.

WvW map will be on a rotation, and you will not need the expansion to play it.

Valento.9852:

I’m talking about zerker meta, and stacking behavior. I wish these things could be severely KILLED from PvE instances.

They already are…..

And this idea does nothing but prolong the fights. Doing so only incentivizes people from even doing said content as its not worth the time for the reward you get out of it. Not only does it prolong fights, it places and erroneous burden onto melee players in that most of the attacks in the game that mobs have and control players with have a shorter cooldown than any stunbreaker/stab.

So unless you want to go back 1 1/2 years to the old fractal meta of rotating aegis on guardians i’d rethink this whole concept.

@ Piper.

It is a bias, necromancer is equally discriminated against, there’s many threads about this. Dailies should be rotated across professions equally.

Unfortunately most responses above don’t know any better.

If you’re playing solely for the daily there’s faster ways to get it.

If you dont fall into the above category, then why bother ?

He mentioned dailies which you got stuck on, the bias is still there.

Again, what does the bias even matter ?

The complaint is about dailies. There’s literally 11 other options for them. There’s no requisite that say you need to do 3 PvP exclusive dailies.

They should go do any of the other dailies or simply swap professions as this really is a non-issue.

Just art for a raffle contest.

you can translate it yourself through google.

This is why selling dungeon paths is a no win and should just have a policy in place against it.

Causes far too many issues and abuse cases of tools.

I don’t what about you?

I don’t care either. I really don’t like that we get spvp advertisement in the forums, in the game, everywhere. I don’t remmember getting the same treatment for pve or wvw events.

You’re joking about PvE right ?

Has its own webpage, History tracking, newsletters and twitch show….

Lets try to be a bit less biased and blind.

Lexiceta.4156:

Hard to disagree with original post except in one regard, Adjured really never had a prayer of winning, Seriously 4 games lost, one of which by 300+ points to a team that was obviously better.

“never had a prayer”
thats why all of the first 3 games were won by oRNG by late game come backs, some of which were very large come backs.

I have to agree, there were some very obvious mistakes made that even a PvP newb can see on stream. Like reinforcing a losing teamfight instead of taking the free caps. The greed and bloodlust was real, the objective gameplay was lost on stage and it was pretty clear whoever was shot calling goofed.

Blame Eurantien

WTS stream 2gud.

I don’t think anyone countered the Abjured so much as the Abjured as a team made some bad calls in the match that when they go back and watch they will be able to learn from.

Riku.4821:

As others have said, select the EU/Europe option on the website, and choose wisely. There is a reason the servers in T1 are in T1, very competitive and “elitest” if you may. I suggest going for the 5-10 range if you plan on playing during peak hours.

T1 isn’t competitive. It’s artificial and fixed. Everything is done with keeping the same current 3 servers in the match-up. T1 and skill being used in the same sentence is also extremely laughable. T1 is far and away the epitome of zergball tactics and not skilled gameplay.

Sorel.4870:

glorius.1235:

allowing the ranger pet to fully heal the ranger (btw what other downed skill allowes you to do that? – it’s utter garbage).

Rangers are bad, and therefore spend most of their time in downstate, that’s why they get the best skills.

I don’t think Rangers have enough dodges to avoid that Rapid Fire. GG.

The only thing that broke those matchups were some bad calls and untimely wipes. either Orange Logo or Abjured could have won.

That means should nothing change roster wise it will be interesting to see what all happens. Though i may be slightly biased and be hoping for another upset to happen next tournament.

so play another class ?

I mean, just cause i mainly play ele doesnt stop me from kitten ing around on a theif/mesmer should i really feel i need to get that daily.

It’s still bad.

More news at 11.

45 degree angle bug

Anet plz fix dis nonsense

There’s a really simple solution to this problem.

Get 4 friends, play pvp as a group.

Have not had this issue while PvP’ing ever while doing the above.

Weez.6315:

Traits im speaking of are:

Shadows Rejuvenation : This traits resets the thieves Healthbar in a matter of a few seconds while in stealth.
It is for me the counterpart to the notorious PU trait from the Mesmer before the nerf.
I dont understand how you can nerf PU but dont nerf Shadows Rejuvenation.

Last Refuge : This trait prevents thieves at 25% health from dieing. I know there are many thieves that actually hate this trait cause it stealthes without control but in my experience 80% of the thieves in WvW survive only cause of this trait. They engage, nearly die, get automatically stealthed by this trait and escape. It doesnt matter how many mistakes thieves do, with this trait equiped they will always escape or be able to reset and join the fight again.
Since it is an AoE stealth all the thieves around get stealthed too.

In Stronghold we will be able to stealth “important” npcs too, so this effect gets even stronger and will probably be omnipresent. I dont even want to imagine how a stronghold game would look like with the current state of traits to be honest.

What do you think?

AoE > Stealth.

Both of those things you mention can be countered. Believe it or not you can hit what you can’t see.

Just because a tanky support is doing it’s job is not cause for nerf now.

Ultimately that is the only complaint in this thread.

KingofWizard.7983:

I’ve never complained about building siege in open field fight. I’m only pointing to the fact that CD does build siege before the fight. Not every time. And the guy who talked about it probably wanted to troll you. lol. Because it is funny that 40 men zerg building siege against 20 men in open field fight.

You can screenshot of Kaineng building 4 balistas to defend the camp. I would love to see it. I don’t see there’s anything wrong with it anyway. I would ask those guys why not AC behind the balista.

Again not once has CD built open field siege on your borderland.
It’s okay though, i can see coming in here with good intentions praising some of your groups was wrong as the majority of your server seems to have a defeatist attitude and will exaggerate till they are blue in the face.

Added a screenshot of your servers love of open field siege, this is take from a guildmates perspective. It’s cute that you needed 4 of them for the Sentry.

Not sure what you’re laughing about.

i laugh mostly because those “really good fights” are 5-10 vs. 40+, in which cd usually loses after wasting all their supply building open-field siege and having no walls to hide behind. on the flip side, i once retreated into my own tower for safety from a monstrous blob from cd, and had members of that server build an ac outside and zoom hack to try to kill me on the inside

it’s really hard not to laugh

ps, please attack kaineng’s garrison with 40+ omega’s again(with only 7 defenders), i greatly enjoyed making you wasted hundreds of gold with a single (non-superior)balista

1 ) CD doesn’t build open field siege, so either you’re hallucinating or just tired. It’s okay.
2) CD has never rallied 40+ to take your stuff this entire match up
3) If all you do it hide in garrison, don’t be surprised to see golems.

I don’t laugh at CD, but CD does build open field siege. O.o I wonder if you are playing in CD’s prime time.

CD does have 40+ in EB.

Kaineng never hide in garrison. We just lack on numbers. We have had 25~30 for the entire 4 maps for this week b/c of you guys! LOL. CD was just too much for us. Too many.

Is your garison in EB ?

No, didn’t think so.

I don’t deny that our Pugs love EB. But that is neither the point.
Claiming we constantly run 90 into your gari is absurd. We haven’t had a 40 man anything on any Borderland Map. EBG is another issue entirely.

We have Nors who at best can field 25-30 on any BL should they chose. We have TDS who haven’t even been running at full capacity this match.

Now then i’d love to know which guild is building Open field siege, because if this is another QQ it happened in EB im going to start ignoring this thread.

If it’s you all complaining about a ballista being used to take out your cannons i’m going to laugh.

Also, i can go get a screenshot of Kainengs 4 open field ballista’s near your southwest camp if you’d like

Sanctuary

The cooldown is far too long for the effect.

..except these golems show up at complete random. kaineng can’t “hide”, not against 40-90 man zergs.

Right, okay. You’re just trolling.

Map max is 80, and no server in these tiers outside of reset queue anything other than EBG. At no time has any server map queued. It’s okay keep dreaming.

Also, i don’t care if you believe if im from CD or not but you can go check the official CD forums if you want to confirm where im from.

WvW rank up rewards need to be fixed in general

Who wants a random chance for 2 blues, 2 greens, the occassional rare and the stupidly low chance exotic, ascended (anything but trinkets).

There really should be a sense of progression

every x level should be the junk items
every x+5 should be a guaranteed rare or better

Anything to that effect, and yes greatly increase the gold from leveling to atleast incentivize playing the map so people can earn gold while upgrading their stuff and not feel punished for doing so even if it should be lost.

They keep mentioning other group and guild content….

I’m no fortune teller, but that combined with the AI consultant and the person(s) they’ve hired specifically for raids suggest yes, at some time, when its ready.

oscuro.9720:

competent groups in CD

ha

Not sure what you’re laughing about. CD has quite a number of really good roaming/small man teams.

A lot of good fights have been had between LgN,SN,TKVA,EVA, etc..

However, rumor has it this might be changed in the near future. . . .

Source plz?
Or speculation?

The livestream showed this….

Im hoping they at least nerf stairs and 45 degree angles if there is a feature patch.

I mean they are legit the most lethal PvE mob.

Really………..

I hope a mod just closes this.

By far the most ignorant thread i’ve seen. P2W, just stop using that term, its clear you have no idea what P2W even means.
