Guild Wars 2

Mark Katzbach.9084:

Sorry everybody, I was wrong earlier.

The crafting stations did not get moved to Vigil’s Keep. However, you can travel directly from Vigil’s Keep to one of the other cities of Tyria at no cost via asura gate travel, all of which have crafting stations.

Well, you said it. TRAVEL
In LA, I didn’t have to travel anywhere. I’ve got everything I needed.
Now, there is no Trait Retrainer, no Lorel Merchant, no Crafting Stations..

And then, in addition, there is this airship pass, where you can get all that stuff you dont have anymore.
So you are really serious about that?!

It’s not about that I cant effort it, but why I should I pay for something I got for free before?!

People are lazy, noone wanne travel to different locations just to get the things they got on one spot before.

Hey guys,

I just wanne “promote” my stream.

I try to stream every day starting at 4pm GMT+1.

We are doing CM, AC, SE.. FotM (e.g 11,21,49).

Only thing you may dont like. We are a German Guild, so the stream language is German, but feel free to ask stuff in English.

Stream: http://www.twitch.tv/thorwyntj/

oh yeah right, was doing some stuff while writing this, so I forgot to mention it.

The third utility skill is variable. You can take Wall of Reflection or Sanctuary. It just depends on the situation. You can also use Trade III for ground targeting on Consecrations or if you dont use any consecration, just take longer retaliation.

And well, the last build you created. This new heal skill is crap. You have to go offnesive to get heal when you maybe should try to escape/kite.

I dont wanne offend you, but you should stick on the common builds instead of creating your own stuff.
There is a reason why most ppl play with this builds. The current meta just let them be the best.

The reason why most ppl play with 0/5/30/30/5 is simple.

High defense, high self heal. With the 5 points in Virtues, your virtues give you additional boons and boons = heal.
e.g. Virtue of Justice 3 Stacks Might, 5 ppl, 70+ heal: 3×5×70+ = 1050+
Then every time your aegis blocks something, you got heal via might on block. Removing conditions → heal. Blocking things while healing with shelter, extra heal via might on block and so on.

That’s how Im playing WvW

Your build is selfish.

If u r running with a zerg, it’s about teamplay and supporting each other.
So there r 2 builds played by WvW Guards.
That’s 0/5/30/30/5, this one is also a bit selfish and the other, imo better one, 0/0/10/30/30.

You can play both builds with GS/Hammer/Staff, it just depends on your playstyle.

Ah and before I forget it. Some of the standard utility skills are “Stand your Ground!” and “Hold the Line!” (low cd for cond remove) and the heal tome.
Stability is a really important thing in WvW.

Khisanth.2948:

With the upcoming change this is probably going to lose the flat +10% and get changed to +70 ferocity as well.

Not necessarily the best buff. Dragon’s Breath Bun, Plate of Truffle Steak Dinner and Carrot Soufflé are potentially better depending on the situation.

Depending on the situation, thats the point.

We kinda skip most parts in dungeons, so I want a flat dmg boost and not something like this. There are mostly no mobs we gonna kill quite before a boss, so for me, the food you mentioned is crap. :o

I mean ok, I could eat 100 power 70 prec food, but yeah, dmg guard with RHS. I’ve got enough prec.
Im aktual using 100 power 70 vit only cause I won’t efford the food I mentioned in the topic.
Ok, the reason is more, that I know my guildmates and I would be the only one using this food and then it’s kinda wasted imo.

PowerCat.5738:

Thorwyn.8469, it’s SE p3

ah yeah true, dont know why I wrote p1. Thanks for that, I edited my post.

Hey guys,

in quite every patch or every 2nd patch there are some icon updates for some weapons.
Weapons which came with living story having a new icon but getting another new icon.

But an armor, which is in the game since release. No kittening update for the icons. It’s not only the norn t3 its every norn culture armor.
It’s that kitten icon of a white armor. Why changing every single thing, but not those icons?!

I never went there. Always went to the other side.

But yeah, you can kill those mobs, it isn’t that hard.

ember thing was in patchnotes

SE p3 after first boss, you cant jump over the barrier with those 2 canons before the bridge. The handrail of the bridge got an invis wall as well.

And yeah, arah was already mentioned. No more fast p3+4 runs.

Hey guys,

I’d just like to hear your opinion on food like this.
It also would be nice, to see a Dev comment.

So that you know what I’m talking about:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Bowl_of_Sweet_and_Spicy_Butternut_Squash_Soup

It’s one of those foods released with the molten facility dungeon.
It’s not the only one, but I just chose this one, cause it’s the one I prefer.

So, now the thing is. Those foods are really nice, but the amount of ingrediants you need.. just wow..
[Link for this seems to long, just click the other link and click “Show base ingredients”]

Is it really necessary to have that much ingrediants?! It pushs up the prize so most ppl can’t or won’t effort it. A good food rarely been used cause of it ingrediants.

Should/Will there be a change or will it always be like it is?

I mostly switch weapons with the inventory, so if I switch out 2 1h weapons for a 2h weapon, I can see where the off hand weapon goes and just put it back in the invis box.

Skipping on P3 is really easy and you only need one person to do it. The other 4 people can just waypoint.

And you only have to kill Lupi and the end boss, so an effort of 5-10min.

It’s not only about, that it’s easier to click on them.

It happens really often for me and my guildmates, that we just forget to use food cause it’s somewhere in the inventory and you just don’t notice it.

With a sidebar for consumables, you will always see your buff-food and got that reminder to use it.

Another thing is embers, or harpy feather. It just kittens up to have open your inv at small size, imo.

And like Frenk the Vile said, why isn’t it like in GW1, where you could change EVERYTHING.

With Trinity System, I would be a different game.

You cant just change the classes, you have to change the whole game. I’d like to see a good aggro system, cause you can make some better boss mechanics with it, imo.

But maybe with less animations and a good working aggro system, you could change gw2 to a more challenging game.

I kinda lol’d!

Need more of this stuff!

There’s no time to stand 4 sec in a symbol!

Aegnor Reginard.4621:

Hey, cleric is what i`m looking for. Stand close to boss press 1 and…
I have time to make tea or coffee, spend more time with my girlfriend, buy bread, make sandwiches, even to go to work!
Today i will replace my berserk for cleric!
Thank You!

Man, I had to upvote this!

@Topic
We need more of this stuff to show Anet that it isnt the berserker gear what have to be changed. It’s the game itself!

I have to agree with this!

-I dont play that much WvW.
-I’m not doing FotM every day.
-I dont like farming Events.

But I’m doing dungeons every day.

That there had to be a nerf was ok, but it was too hard. Getting Karma is like the same as at release and it was kinda a pain.

And yeah, dont come with tequatl. 1 hour before queue, thats crap.

Konu.1826:

I tested today with both nec and mes, stacking for both tests…

Just tested it with my guard in HoftM.

And nope, they dont stack. The funny thing, after equipping the 2nd Force Sigil, I did 1 dmg less, looks like some rounding issue.

spoj.9672:

Just get a warrior to solo it. Easymode.

Just read my first post.

It’s not about how to do it. It’s about, that it doesn’t work as intended, imo.

Well, since we are doing Fractals 49, we have to do every room, so we have every cooling rod.

But yeah, it doesn’t matter how many of those cooling rod you put in, this room is just melting you.

Hey guys,

at first, dont know if there was already a thread about this but either the search function is crap or Im just too dumb to use it.

So, what I wanted to talk about is this Superheated Room.
imo it doesn’t work as it should. At the first day, when it was released, I can remember that there was a safe spot after putting in one of those cooling rods.
But now, there is no single safe spot and I just cant believe that it’s really meant to be, that you have to run in with a kittenload of heal, teleports, portals etc to finish up this room.

I’d say, that this room is bugged or did we just miss something?!

And yeah, this topic isn’t about, that we aren’t able to do this. I just can’t believe that you have to die, to clear an encounter.

greetings
Thor

Are you serious?!

Staff auto-attack is the best thing you can get for WvW Zerging stuff.
If you really wanne use this in PvE and playing a “healing” Guard, someone should punch you in your face. oO

Look at this DPS-Meta threads, there is a reason for this threads.

Exedore.6320:

- Mace is great in PvP for DPS (if you’re good at using #3) and defense.
- Torch sees occasional play in sPvP for DPS, though is a bit weak.

You know what DPS stands for?

While talking about PvE, I agree with the most things you people wrote down here.

Something about mace and shield. Both aren’t the best weapons, yeah, but they are useful in their own way.

What I like on shield is #4 as an opener and #5 is a fine heal and the knockback and projectile can be useful as well, e.g. CM.
The mace brings some good thins as well imo. #2 maybe at the beggining or if you need some heal. #3 can sometimes save your kitten and does some good dmg. But yeah, the auto attack is garbage and that the last hit of the chain only hits 1 target..

So yeah, both weapons aren’t made to use as primary weapons imo, but as a scondary to get some heal and support, it’s nice.

It’s a punch in the face.

We had this fractal yesterday on lvl 31 with Moosman action.
We had 2 guards, 1 War, 1 Mes and 1 Ele and yeah, we managed to do it.

The good thing, the normal dredges are quite easy to kill now, cause their life scales better, but one of the veterans still got 1001238091471203987123 life.

Instead of “fixing” the way, most ppl did this part of this fractal, they should have thought about an alternitive way/solution.

Ok, tested it in HotM. It’s only the tooltip. Skill works like the patchnotes says.

Healing Breeze: Doubled the base heal when healing allies. Scaling from healing power has been increased from 20% to 40% when healing allies.

Nope!

Ingame tooltip is still the same, like pre patch.

kitten you pvp players to report this feature! :p

Noticed it some weeks ago, when I changed my build/runes.
The Soldier Rune isnt the problem here, its only the trait, which converts 2 conditions into 2 boons.
This double cond convert is really nice in pve.

In PvP, I wouldnt call it gamebreaking. At least a guard is able to conter that cond overload. I remember times, where you couldnt do a kitten, cause other classes spammed more cond than you could remove.

God Of Fissures.8627:

2) You have only 4GB of memory. If you upgraded to 6GB or even 8GB, I can almost guarantee that this “out of memory” error would go away.

16gb ram and same prob with those kind of client crashes. So it will not rly fix it.

Wilhelm.6894:

It would be one thing if they completely removed gold drops from mobs, but aslong as most things still drop coins any complaint about buying atleast the gold infusion is meaningless especially if anyone saw the post first and still bought it thinking it was nothing.

Yeah, I know, that’s why I’m not saying, that I want the laurels back.

But I also said, that most ppl, when not all ppl bought the infusion for the reason to get more cash from dungeons and not from random trash while farming events. Only a hand of ppl making cash with gilded infusions and random trash.

So, it’s not the same if they would remove the infusion, yes, but it’s quite the same cause the reason ppl bought it is gone.

Hey guys,

it’s more a question than something I really want but what I’d like to say is.

You gonna remove the gold drops from champsions in every dungeon. I’m fine with that, I always said that it shouldn’t be the way you play dungeons with all this magic and gold find stuff.
But yeah, most people bought that gilded infusion only cause of the dungeon champs. So, after your next patch, this infusion will be useless, cause for the reason I said before, people only bought it for the dungeon champs.

Another thing is, you gonna remove magic find from items, will you remove it as infusion too? Will you refund that?

In my case, after next patch, I “wasted” 80 laurels. That’s two months of daily/monthly play. Two months is a long of time and if you like to gear up more than one char it takes rly long to get this amount of laurels back.

So, I dont wanne say, you have to refund the laurels, but it would be nice.

And at least, I know you hear it every day, but cause English issn’t my mother tongue, I’m sorry for some mistakes I made.

greetings

You can see it in the latest patch notes.
There r some skill balancing with the note “PvP” but this only mean sPvP. That means, that WvW isnt PvP!

There r so much ppl out there who dont like this sPvP but they like open pvp like in WvW.
Sadly, anet doesnt care about this ppl, cause they only do sPvP balancing and not open PvP balancing.

WvW could be so nice for some kind of open PvP if there would be balancing and something to make it worth killing ppl.
Maybe some serious pvp titles for killing ppl, or more profit for killing ppl. The way it works atm, its only about keep fights and how to get the biggest zerg to zerg them all..

Bring up more PvP modes or do something that ppl who r interested in open PvP get some serious open PvP.

at least, sry for my bad English its not my mother tongue

Smite Condition: 1/4s casttime | 20s cd | 1 cond || instant and 16s cd if traited
Contemplation of Purity: instant | 60s cd | all cond converted into boons || 48s cd if traited
F2 Skill Virtue of Resolve: instant | 60s cd | 3 cond if traited
All Signets: various casttime | various cd | 1 cond if traited

So yes, I think its fair.

@Ganzo
Nice work, u can quote me to write excactly that what I wrote.

The thing with the GS CD’s. Yeah its true that when u use all skills together that u only can do auto attack after that, but when does this happen?
Only in long PvE Boss fights and for that u always have the chance to switch weaponset, use all skills on the other weaponset and switch back.
Apart from this, the game is made for this, to change weaponsets, so no there is no autoattack phase on GS.
Only for those ppl who dont know, that there is a second weaponset u can use.

@Drgori-5724
retaliation with the hammer symbol?
It gives u protection. U only get ae retaliation if u use #2 as blast finisher on the symbol.

@topic
U cant compare those weapons. GS is more dmg and hammer cc.
Both r nice and depending on the situation, one is better than the other.

Halloween-Party!!!

Kasei.8726:

I’ll say the same thing I always do, compared to GW1, all elites in the game suck. I never say, “Oh, I wish I could take two of these elite skills,” instead I always say, “If I could just take one more utility skill.” In my not so humble opinion, all the elite skills in the game should be redone, or at least do something passive when they’re on cooldown. I won’t bore you with all of my ideas though.

rly nice thought.
I dont rly like one of the 3 elite skills.
Renewed Focus is a way better than before but it is still not rly good if j dont trait the virtues.
imo they should redesign all the elite skills. There r rly good and op elite skills and totaly crap elite skills..

There is an easy solution!
When all ur skills on cd, just switch weaponset and use another weapon. e.g. sword/focus or maybe mace+..
The game is made for that, if u would play ele, u would know how it works, cause if u dont switch attunements as ele u would mostly do auto attack.
And switching attunments is the same as weapon switch.
