Guild Wars 2

Chronomancer is lightyears ahead of everyone else and Reaper and Tempest started “Who is worse” shouting competition.

Tempest blows.

Elite looks like some Mesmer’s utility skill. Trait line is meh. Warhorn skills are meh. Attunement overload looks like some gimmick. Shouts are meh. No new play styles detected.

Most of us get it. You mean out of combat. I still say we don’t need it. There are much better things they can focus their programming time on rather than something that people want for sheer convenience and/or laziness.

Yeah! We don’t want convenience! Who wants QoL improvements?! Thats for the weak. Guild Wars 2 “community” in a nutshell.

Its not QoL when meta tries to include things like “use guard focus 5 for shield just before combat, then swap that weapon with torch for max DPS”. The fact that Eles can might stack like crazy, unless it resets ALL buffs on swap, people would use it game the system for easy might prior to combat.

People already do that.

Unless Frostbow is nerfed heavily, there really is no reason to bring any other class, since Ele does it better than anyone. Imo, make it unable to crit. Fixed.

Even if you nerf icebow there is still no reason to bring other class lol.

Marthkus.4615:

I like the idea that if your party kicks someone from an instance you can’t fill that slot.

Another idea is that if you leave your party from an instance, your party can fill that slot but you are blocked from the path for a day. If you leave 3 paths in a day you would then be blocked from dungeons/fractals for a day.

Zerk only meta 8K+ AP groups could still set up their groups with lots of vetting, but the toxic behavior would be curbed.

Does that mean that I will be able to report people that don’t read and ignore everything for LFG abuse?

Vicao.5068:

Just to know…
Why you guys play PVE?

There is no point for me…
You play to farm legendaries, but you can go there and buy a legendary with real money and no effort…
It’s only “4fun”, but do the same things all the time isn’t that fun…

WvW, its a competitive in theory, so, win it’s the point!
PVP, same thing!

Because I want to get two annoying fractal skins to finish my collection. After that I am free, unless anet will do 180 with HoT and fix instanced pve.

Illconceived Was Na.9781:

From the developer’s point of view:

• Outfits are cheaper to design & test — each of the 10 designs only has to be tested against itself; they do not need to be tested against any other armor or outfit in the game.

Thing is… they don’t test them. Pretty much all outfits have clipping, low res texture problems, legs/hands/heads/tails disconnected from the body and visible seams on the body. Some of these were fixed but many more were just shrugged off and forgotten.

Could be that light source and moon on the skybox are out of sync.

Astralporing.1957:

it can also be “synchronized swimming” minigame with leaderboards for all we know.

Finally some use for all these swimming speed boosters.

MauricioCezar.2673:

Radiant and hell fire backpacks.

Yes.

Wngs maybe?

No.

Penny.1645:

i’ve done my share of researching and reading about this

i see that it changes and revolves aaround my personal story?

but what is it really?

Living World is like Blast Processing or Cloud Computing. Cool marketing word.

It is broken since forever now. Devs too busy with the expansion.

Buff sharing if you in a zerg. Oh and a little blue indicator on a minimap.

At the moment gw2 runs very bad on potato tier PCs and sadly PS4 and xbone are just rebranded potato PCs.

You should send uncensored version to anet lol.

Ignavia.7420:

Most of the visibility issues come from people stacking on the boss. This is the place Anet should work on, e. g. by improving the AI (which they are doing for HOT) or enlarging the radius of support skills – at least in instance.

Aha. Don’t forget attack range increase for melee weapons. 1200 should be enough.

Aeolus.3615:

I did not find any evidence on video about trinity on gw2, care to enlighten me?

For me: I hide evidence video because Arena net will punish me and delete evidence. That is why i write instead with quotes and edit source.

I am El Presidente of The Earth. I hide evidence because Lizzard people will punish me and delete evidence.

You just met average PHIW players. Kick/block/report.

Killface.1896:

We have like 20+ armor sets in this game think its ok they add more roles to this game than only zerg

Everything that revenant can do right now is opposite of useful in dungeons. From what i heard they are good in wvw only.

Athena.3579:

I see why this outfit was pulled from the gem store. The clipping beforehand only seemed to occur on some body types (I was also mostly happy with it before), but now the skirt is ridiculously flared out. Also, my legs don’t connect to my body anymore?

So you fixed the issue for some people while breaking it for others. May I have a gem refund for this please?

Edit: Added a human picture.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Noble_Count_Outfit has exact same problem. It is less obvious of course but still noticeable when you run forward. Guys that make this new outfits are probably too kitteno add pants to female versions.

Off topic: Since when S.H.Y. is a bad word?

DevilLordLaser.8619:

Let’s face it, Arenta – most of this crowd sees anything other than standing up the nearest enemy bum in a giant heap and blasting fire fields all day erry day as a failure and a waste of time.

I am looking so freaking forward to watching the stack-and-burns crash and burn when they try that crud in Heart of Thorns. Just imagine the woe and rabble-rousery that will light these cursed lands when people find out that clumping together like morons and doing nothing but blasting Fire gets them knocked over like bowling pins and they actually need to spread out, watch their positions, and fight wherever they get a chance.

It will be glorious. Unlike the idiotic staff set we’re apparently getting on Thieves. Blegh.

Blasting fire is so early 2015. Now wariors do that with their mighty skill 2 on greatsword.

Astralporing.1957:

At this moment it almost looks like Anet not only tried to mislead at least a part of the prepurchasers (ironically, the more trusting and less suspicious ones), but also decided to rub their noses in it.

It is not Anet’s problem. It is problem of education system. People can’t read. In game chat, ingame mail, LFG, dungeons, HoT description, HoT FAQ and even this thread.

Azure Prower.8701:

Wooden Potatoes. Complains that dungeons are too short. Yet proceeds to show himself using unintended exploits to skip almost every mob possible with a well organized group.

Unintended stealth mechanics?

Hahaha brilliant change.

Nika looks dreadful. They didn’t even attempt to make her look Canthan which is just sad.

And she looked Canthan in Gw1? Purple hair, blue eyes, wtf does Canthan look like?

My question is, wtf is she doing in GW2 in first place, isnt she supposed to be 400+ years old now?

A wizard mists did it.

Belorn.2659:

Diovid.9506:

So you’re saying they can’t do small scale tests with external testers anymore in the future? Because the moment HoT pre-purchasers are able to get in a test ceases to be small scale.

Marketing and sale design require careful design in order to not confuse consumers or making them feel like they are being tricked. Instead of promising “all future beta tests” they could have phrased it as “a exclusive pre-order test”. It would result in the same thing, but rather than leaving preorders with a feeling of betrayal they would feel happy about the exclusivity of their purchase.

Now they painted themselves into a corner and they got to figure out how to fix what they broke. Maybe their PR department can figure something out, but if they do nothing, the result is an other disappointment for consumers who thought they bought something and now finds out that anet is using a technicality to take it back.

They never promised “all future beta tests”. They promised “all future beta weekends”.

What are Beta Weekend Events?
Beta Weekend Events are selected weekends when everyone who pre-purchases the game is invited to test Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns. BWEs may include new content or a repeat of content available in previous tests.

When will they take place?
The Heart of Thorns Beta Weekend Events will be announced as we get closer to them.

Is there a way to participate in Beta Weekend Events without pre-purchasing Guild Wars 2 Heart of Thorns?
Unknown, but the only way to guarantee access to the Beta Weekend Events is to pre-purchase Heart of Thorns.

Confused people are confused. Throwing money at screen only gives you access to few beta weekends. Real betas and stress test are not included.

If she dies you will get alternative blah blah at the end.

“Exp metazerk” with 9% potions.

Meanwhile threads like “remove cripple from hyenas” exist and people qq that ac is hard.

Ayyyyy lmao. Poor Relevant and new specializations.

lordkrall.7241:

So, here you have your comment about where SAB is:

Rinith’s reply is probably the closest description to the reality as of today where we stand with SAB. We’ve made a number of changes to the physics engine as a result of places like Silverwastes, Dry Top, and the expac that means we need to go back and re-work SAB to use all the new movement systems. It also needs a pretty solid rewards overhaul, and I know Josh would love to make some changes to world 2 before it returns.
We’re all focused on expansion – both the announced details, and the un-announced details and simply can’t peel anyone off a team to work on it right now without it effecting expac. The two SAB worlds we’ve seen will return as we’ve said before, but simply put our focus right now is on making the expansion amazing

tl;dr It’s on the table.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Glyph_of_Elementals > player “tank”.

Best part about it is that mouse cursor blends with effect and you just lose it. I sometimes spend more time looking for cursor than fighting.

Wuselknusel.4082:

I’m not ok with the game getting more casualized, but ANet wont change their mind on this one.

They will have to someday. Casuals come and go very fast and their supply is not infinite.

Dungeons don’t give you AP. High AP only indicates how much player spent facerolling story.
Time spent is bad indicator top. Simply because there is no punishment for being bad. You can’t learn to be good without game completely wrecking you from time to time. Sadly that’s what devs are trying to avoid.

Hitboxes were already fixed or teq still has only one critable hitbox?

Too much work. Confused players is just an excuse.

Still comparing b2p with p2p? I though this was sorted out already.

I understand that LA can’t be too convenient, but my god… this layout is just horrible. Can’t wait for Mordy to crash land on it. Royal Terrace/Airship and Rata Sum ftw.

Donari.5237:

TLDR: leads to elitism that doesn’t fit GW2 player culture.

I thought this game is already filled with elitists and that everyone kicks everyone for having wrong dyes.

New system makes it harder to create completely useless builds. That’s probably why few people dislike it.

Because only few maps have areas where you could glide.

We dont need subforum. We need working banhammer.

I am ok with wh if i can use it as mainhand and chop mobs with it in melee range.

Speaking of “wtf” changes. Why did they added some force fields near the wall at Mai? Or i am just blind and never noticed them before.

Well my ele, guard and war got insane buffs. Can’t complain.
