Honestly OP, did you get frustrated losing to a grenade build
or does everything that is actually efficient in the game need a nerf?
I don’t know a single legit post where someone begs to get
their own class nerfed.
Why the limited options in increasing font size in the chat box? I
suggest allowing a value input like most other games. As it stands
now when running in 1920×1280 or up, the font size is too small.
Maybe its just me, I probably speak for middle aged crowd as well
when I say “my eyes are not what they used to be!”
PLEASE make this change! I mainly say this for WvW, in where I have
all player tags turned off (allies) because it would be too much of a blob
in zergs.
With that said, it would be a simple matter to allow an option to only show
guild member tags only. I also think it would be a good idea for your friends list.
^^^ Yes I laughed at that Tman, thanks!
So many people in zergfest have zero skill and would not survive
in PvP.
When will the days of “I lost to a class, I better post a nerf in the forums”
ever go away?
The flipside of your idea is “what could you have done different?”
Thanks for the help everyone. Got them both done!
This was the last one for Kryta
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Hidden_Ourobon
Found one of the 2 points after the above posters help for
Maguuma.
This is the last one Im missing:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Calx%27s_Hideout
Apparently I have to wait for an event.
(edited by Thunderbrew.7034)
Very nice find Calanthe! I am going to use it now.
The main reason why I want this done is because 2 of my 3
“Nearly Completed” are these, which completely impairs
the value of this feature. As stated above, there should be a way
to hide certain ones.
Edit: Here is a missed one in Metrica Province if it helps anyone:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Calx%27s_Hideout
Im not sure what gate they are talking about in that link though.
I was all excited because I missed this one:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Verarium_Delves
Upon opening the area though, it did NOT count for my last one.
(edited by Thunderbrew.7034)
Ahh the jumping puzzles! Well that’s a long list to double check hehe.
A both great advice, thank you. I will scrutinize each map.
Edit: You were right Randulf about Brisbane. Its that long ramp going up from the skill point above the SW corner. I never would have found that!
(edited by Thunderbrew.7034)
I just finished 100% map completion title, and yet when you look
under my “almost completed” achievements, it shows:
Krytan Explorer 174/175
Maguuma Explorer 165/167
I double checked each single map, and no missing points. Could they be
in the Story Line, which I have not completed yet on this toon?
Areanet: Allow us a way to either hide things like this (which prevent us
from seeing other achievements we can actually work on), or make an
easier way instead of guessing what is missing on the map.
Any help would be appreciated.
Post should read: “Feed your kitten and post your gold so the
hackers know which accounts to go for first.”That’s like living in the ghetto and putting a sign in your front yard
that you just bought a 65 inch plasma TV, your not home, and the doors
are unlocked.What a sad attitude. The leader boards of any game are the target market not people talking on forums. Also the target is people they can chat up in game and show themselves to be very willing to be taken. Easier to go through the front door at the invitation of the owner, and no saying on a forum that you have x gold is not an invitation.
How long have you been gaming? This was one of the methods hackers used
in World of Warcraft.

That does make sense, thanks. ridiculous we all suffer though.
Thanks, at least I know its not only me. Starting to believe the rumors
that they are funneling the money from GW2 into another new game
considering the lack of attention to detail things like this gets.
Ive waited months before posting this, but still shocked
that this isn’t fixed. It randomly happens, and the only way
around it that I have found is to reopen the AH window
between every sell.
What is causing this error message in the AH? Its been there
for months and is so annoying when you have allot to sell.
Ah I see it, thanks for that ellesee.
Normally GW2 wiki shows cooldowns on everything, and I noticed
that nothing shows for transmute. Does anyone know what the CD
is on Transmute?
After years of playing MMOs, this topic is probably the silliest
thing I’ve seen yet. Allow me to elaborate:
1) Who cares what people do to waste their time
2) Is this a economy problem? What about the countless people who use
outside bots to work the auction house and make hundreds (if not thousands)
more gold than champ farming.
3) Way to many people have blinders on who are responding to this post. Claims
of “people leaving because of champ farming” is ridiculous. There are many other
ways that players enjoy playing the game. If none of them are for you, than stop
playing. Problem solved.
Ah yea, didn’t realize lightning flash did damage. Yea, I would rather
have more range and lose the damage.
I propose the following two changes:
1) Make Lightning Flash a 1200 range like a Mesmer. As it stands now,
900 is lackluster.
2) Glyph of Storms: Make the range 1200 in tune with staff ranges.
Personally, I see number 1 the most needed, but as a staff user I think
number 2 would be much more practical.
As a day 1 player, I stopped taking any of their adjectives seriously.
“Massive” buffs means something different to me.
There are quite a few patches in where it seemed it was oversold on how great the
changes were going to be, and all it became was some minor tweaking
of current abilities.
But yea, I had to LOL at the warrior buffs (and I play one!). When are Eles going to
get the same treatment?
I agree with Vick above, and feel same way. Ive played every class,
and feel that Ele is actually SUB PAR on aoe compared to a properly
specced Enginner grenade spec (1500 range mind you), or even a
high initiative short bow Thief.
Its seems like they made the Ele capable of doing AOE and healing, but
average at both. The whole concept of the D/D specced Ele is not
appealing to me (ie no Wizard or spell caster feel to it).
When Im in WvW, all I care about is:
1) Show all enemies
2) Show party members
3) Show guildies
1 and 2 are in the game, 3 is not. It would be
so helpful if it was, so I know where my guildies
are (the rest of the non guildie zerg I don’t care
about because it would spam screen too much
with unwanted icons.
Great Ill look into that Kasama, I definitely missed that.
The Speedy kits trait has a 5 sec CD so Im assuming you are
using ways to buff the 5 sec of swiftness? Either way seems kind
of laborious spamming the key every 5 seconds to keep buff up.
(edited by Thunderbrew.7034)
Im a new player to an engineer, but not the game. I have
leveled 3 other classes, and my it seems to me that
engineers lack mobility. Am I missing something?
Elementalist: Ride the Lightning, Signet 25% speed, Fiery Greatsword,
very easy to setup to have permanent swiftness up all the time
Warrior: Greatsword, Signet, Trait (the one that gives 25% movement for melee),
can attain permanent swiftness with this ultimate when traited and specced
right.
Rogue: Shortbow skill, Signet 25%
I understand that Engineer doesn’t have a Signet, but outside of
the Rocket Boot jump and the small swiftness buff from an Elixir,
is there a good method for staying buffed or gap closers?
I see this as an issue for WvW when speed and movement are so paramount.
Once again, just looking for advice or things that I have missed in attaining this.
I agree with souldbind on exotics, but not ascended items
at the laurel vendor. It takes allot of time to get the ascended
gear, and IMO, should be account bound.
Ive been away for quite some time. I came back into the game
looking for past FEAR members. My entire friends list shows no
one on when I check.
Ace was someone I played with allot with FEAR. Is the guild still around?
If so, please provide the link to guild site so I can look my peeps up!
(was unable to locate).
Well, I dont know about the other classes, but I have an 80
warrior, thief and Ele. In playing all of them, the same common
problem arises where “an ability is too good NOT to have on your
skill bar.”
Another example is the Signet that gives 25% speed to a Thief. You are
already down 1 slot because thats just too darn good to not have. Things
like that should be traits, not skills.
I will double check it, but I didnt see AOE on the smaller ones when
I tested it. Half the times, they missed target completely.
That is not true based on what I tested. The detonation goes into
3 seperate bombs that are not AOE, and do much less than a single CB.
I went to the Mists and tested this on the most densely packed golems for over an hour.
The single CB still outdamaged the group of 5 over any detonation,
at any height.
I tested CB extensively in the Mists, and because of that, I never
detonate it. Compare the damage to groups of people with and
without a detonate. The single bomb does over double the damage
to up to 5 targets in the area.
When you detonate it, at any level, its too easy to miss targets completely.
Better yet, at melee range, you can spam CB.
Personally I wouldnt bother. First of all, you already tried with
no success. Secondly, and more importantly, this game is not
complicated at all compared to a game like Rift where there were
dozens of builds and skill-chains.
Pick any profession, and you will find the same couple main builds
that seem to be the most effective. Any search on google can find these.
People overthink the builds in this game, when in reality, the skill of the
player outweighs “I want to make sure I have the points in the right spot.”
^^ Sorry, but defending a strategy based on “mainly works in large zergs,” is
not relevant. In a large enough zerg, based on that premise, I could run naked
and in theory live because I had the power of a 100 man zerg surrounding me.
Offhand dagger for movement is a staple, I agree. This post is about Staff though.
If you prefer running offhand D during zerg fights, on top of movement, no
problem there. All that is saying is that the Staff comes out while hiding behind
keep walls, or attacking them.
Bottom line is, staff could use some more attention in open zerg battles. For the
past week, every zerg fight is the same “run through the other players and get
to the back.” Cast staff AOE all you want, but watch how much actually misses
the targets because they are already past the point you cast.
if ur server got some well organized groups, a staff ele on either dmg build or a bunker build is a god send. a well organized zerg finishes the battle in like 1min. either ur wiped, or the enemy is wiped. they stack up, they push, smashing into and through each other. personally, even as a glass cannon, i am almost always in the front line, right behind or close to our commander leading . as u run through, u drop ur aoe in the back line of the enemy. some aoes like eruption or ice spike can interrupt the cast time by dodge rolling foward to keep mobile. glyph of the storm can be casted on the go. magnetic aura can take care of any range atks as u charge forward. its a… risky style as a glass cannon, but when the fight is over in about 1min-2min, it really doesnt matter much once u finish ur cycle.
i started wvw as a staff ele glass cannon, i am sticking to it unless some major changes get applied to staff.
So let me get this straight. You are a glass cannon ele, that stays in the front
and “runs through” their zerg while dropping AOE? If that is even remotely
true the only thing saving you is complete and total lag in large zergs, preventing
the enemy from attacking. That or they are complete newbies.
After 1500 hours in staff ele WvW at tier 1, I can assure you that that doesnt work.
You are the first target they look for.
The new WvW titles should be viewable by allies. I could care less
what my enemy sees.You don’t like the idea of equipping a low-experience title like “WvW Newb” and humiliating the enemy?
I would have to answer no, because the title means absolutely nothing as it
stands. All it shows is how long you have run with a zerg. Think abou it.
Im not sure how many people are having the same problem in WvW,
but ever since the patch guildies and myself have been randomly
disconnecting out of WvW.
Anyone else?
I’d be happier if dungeons didn’t have diminishing returns & TP prices weren’t so high. It’s like only the people who use gems cards are the ones who prosper the most. I still love gw2 though.
You forgot the main one: Bot programs that work the TP even when user isnt
on. This how people are getting literally 10k+ gold in the game, and apparently
Arenanet hasnt found a way to stop it.
The state of the game video talked about more than just nerging stealth.
They also referred to helping with Thief mobility and condition removal.
Interesting how they were quick to implement the first, but do nothing
on the other two. Guess we wait another 3 months for a hyped up patch
that actually does very little again.

Agree with OP FotM was by far best update. Also Vayne if you enjoy the game so much where do you get so mzch time to respond multipletimes in every even slithly negative thread? I think OP have some vaild points for players like me which plays mostly PvE there isnt really much content if you dont enjoy things like Flame and Forst or Guild Missions which are just boring……Iam sorry but i hate that anet is focusing on those 2 things which most players hates. WvW is just a mess iam no programator but it feels like GW2 engine just cant handle huge battles at solid fps without ridiculous CPU demands so maybe next year its gonna be playable because this needs some serious work and time…..
Well, if its the same Vayne from guildwar2forum.com he spends 99% of his time
defending the game and coming up with counter arguments supporting that.
Not a flame at all, just saying thats how he rolls.
Consider this:
Necro’s have instant AOE with marks, and the proof of that is the crazy
amount of badges they can attain.
Thiefs have an instant cast AOE, specfically Choking Gas and Cluster Bomb
at melee range.
I dont know much about the other classes so I dont have anything to say. With
that said, anyone who has spent the last week in WvW has seen the 50+ zerg
trains steamrolling the map. The battles are constantly in motion. The above
classes have the luxury of instant tagging groups at a time. Staff Ele’s have long
casting times or delays, and when over half of the spells finally do go off, they
zerg is already past it.
Yes, Staff is good for assaulting or defening a keep, but it should be much more
useful in moving fights.
After 1500 hours on my staff ele, I changed mains. Like you, I refused settle
on d/d. I think its absurd that a “mage-like” class has its most effective build
be melee. IMO not much thought was put into it. Most of the abilities we should
have been using were given to the Mesmer (cloning, portaling, etc).
First time Ive responded to a post on this subject matter, but have
to agree about the lackluster and hyped up March 26th patch.
New skins and removed culling. The latter should have been done
2 months ago and was long over due. As mentioned, no one cares
about the story content.
Allot of every patch seems to be correcting things that should have
been done already, or fixing bugs. I can handle no overwhelming
content. I just want to see WvW refined and finally working as intended
after all these months (and right now its not due to skill lag).
Once again, still no fix to something that was stated would
be months ago.
PvE will never be “endgame” in GW2 for a large portion of the player
base. Since there is no raiding, grouping with guildies and friends to
go fight large battles in WvW is what keeps many people around.
Its been stated that GW2 wants to see more people in sPvP, but there
is not enough reward to do this outside of honing your skills. Here is
what I propose:
1) Let honor points be used for gear other than just sPvP only, even if its
skins used in PvE.
2) WvW has to have a better reward for the winners on weekly reset, even
if its just badges or loot.
This game for me outside of WvW has been farming the dragon events on three
toons in order to make some money. This is going to account bound after the
patch as we all know. Ive already leveled three level 80s and have no intention
of grinding PvE on another toon since the other professions do not interest me.
Im sure the same can be said for many other players.
Maybe Im biased, but I was a huge fan of Battlegrounds in 6 years of WOW. They
were smaller scaled battles that actually had an objective compared to the
large zerg fests using portal bombs to win in WvW.
Trust me I agree, I dont play that way. I was just giving you your answer.
The answer to that Adane, is that the players are looking for a
quick and easy kill because thats the only way they know how to
play.
I think sPvP is a great way to hone 1v1 tactics, but many players would
never survive that format. They rely on catching people at low health,
or fighting with odds in their favor in order to win and “feel good.”
The devs posted long time ago that “a thief is new player friendly but requires
a high level of skill to actually master.”
Part of the problem people complain about, is the ability for a low skilled
player to steal (with mug) and get off a combo or two, which results in
massive damage. Now, if you are good at dodging, stun breaking, or have a skill
to use, and you know how a thief plays, you can survive the initial burst.
A big problem with the above statement was culling, in where you didnt have
time to respond or didnt even see it coming. The forums were flooded by
people crying about getting downed so fast as opposed to learning how to
counter it.
As a glass cannon ele for over 1500 hours played, I was always the target for
thieves, but learned to stick around other people and not get caught in the
open. When I did get jumped, I thought of better things I could have done
to avoid the situation.
This isnt meant to offend anyone, but from what Ive experienced is that the
overwhelmingly number of thiefs are not highly skilled. If they dont win on the
initial burst, they run. They have zero ability to enter a sustained fight. As one of
the above posters stated, the changes to stealth will weed them out.
