Guild Wars 2

shakome.7458:

Braham is all about emotion in this episode, and honestly i don’t like it. Now that he had cracked the tooth, the norns will follow him into battle with Jormag. He said that he won’t give Jormag another minute, he won’t let another person’s mother to be killed. And yet, if he lead those norns into battle, that is exactly what he will do, not just another person’s mother, but father, or son.
Will he take responsibility for that?
Will he face those people when he came back and tell them that their mother, father, son had died following him into a losing battle?
(that is if Jormag has a twisted mind to have him chained up and witness all the norns that followed him to be killed or turned, while he can’t do anything and then set him loose as an example to other Norns)
I understand the Norns are a warrior race, but there is bravery, and then there is stupidity. I don’t think Braham quite understand that concept.

Yeah it’s pretty clear that this is going to be a disaster for Braham. Maybe he is under Jormag’s influence already but doesn’t know it… that would be interesting. Clearly Mordremoth’s abilities have reached Jormag at least a bit.

Rytlock is the only adult in the group besides us it seems.

Love the map and the mechanics involved. The story this part was kinda flat. The Braham stuff was so silly and ridiculous. Either write our character as more than a doormat or give us some interaction to let us do it ourselves. It’s starting to get old that our character just takes these insults and stuff without defending themselves.

If you plan on having us “explode” in the future and give our character a chance to say our piece then that’s fine but it’s just annoying at this point to see it happening.

There is zero reason Braham should be so hostile toward us and it felt forced for “dramatic effect” or whatever. There was zero buildup to what happened and the response by our character was ridiculously lacking.

Gwaihir.1745:

Anet have long held a stance that guardians are a slow class.

And that was ok back when classes had unique things that comprised them. However these are being phased out. Even mesmerized portals uniqueness has been lessened by items that can do the same.

Anet have directly stated that a passive movement buff for guardians is “not in the works”. It seems that for them to recognize that this is now a core mechanic for all classes would be to admit that classes are no longer unique.

Maybe so but that argument kinda went away for me when they said Reapers were supposed to be “slow terror” like in old horror movies. Reapers move like the wind. :P

Is it the one with the huge trees? I can’t wait to see it. I hope it’s a somewhat sizeable area… would love to get lost in there.

I’m just glad the Norn are finally getting some attention. :P

I recently updated to this driver package and my game would freeze in random places. Usually when there were large events or when NPC’s would spawn/appear on screen with people. It became unplayable.

I rolled back to the previous version I used (16.7.3) and the issues went away. I’m not sure where to report a certain driver having issues with this game so sorry if this is the wrong place.
Edit: These are APU drivers and the most current available for them. I also informed AMD of this issue.

Happening to me as well. I’ll be playing fine then suddenly my game freezes and becomes a slideshow. Things are still happening because I end up dying. It will freeze then it’s like fast forward of everything that was happening then freeze again. Sometimes I come out of it until the next freeze.

This has only begun recently and I have no idea what’s causing it.

Using Radeon Crimson 16.9.2.

I’m hoping today… maybe tomorrow.

Apparently it is but they sure are taking their sweet time doing it.

Really should be able to buy Brews you may have missed. The thing is for sale at any time so being punished for spending that gold on it in June or something by having to wait even longer is silly.

Cash-Only Shop would kill the Gem Store. Why develop for the Gem Store when you can just put stuff in a cash-only shop and force people to use actual money all the time?

Once a game goes the Cash-Only Shop route they don’t go back.

That would be cool.

Doggie.3184:

All “gobbler” items that devour resources have somekinda annoying limit to them and I don’t understand why; like Mawdrey, Star of Gratitude and Princess’s daily limit. The only limit should be the amount of resources you have left.

It never made sense to me either. They are literally just sinks to dump off tons of readily available and sometimes useless stacks of items into. That is the reason they exist so putting limits on them seems weird. Not even actual limits, just annoying ones.

Vyrulisse.1246:

It’s Legendary. It should be different between Males and Females. That’s Male armor all the way. Big and tough. Female Heavy should be more elegant.

Why can’t males be elegant and females be big and tough? Pretty sexist of you..

Let you choose then. Not gonna turn this into a stupid argument because I didn’t plan my words for every possible way they could be interpreted. I was just talking about my personal preference for things. :\

It’s Legendary. It should be different between Males and Females. That’s Male armor all the way. Big and tough. Female Heavy should be more elegant.

Don’t call it a toggle they will ignore it. Ask them to nerf glowing hands and it’ll be in the next patch.

Spiritz Wamphryi.8316:

quote from wiki update notes
Certain classes, e.g. Ranger and Engineer, will have certain skills types removed from their skill bar on logon after this patch; they can just be re-added
I had the same as you and was fixed by just reselecting the mortar

Mortar cannot be selected again. It’s greyed out and if you try to slot it back it takes you to the hero point screen to “learn it” but it’s already learned.

Well that stinks I was hoping for one too. It’s still an achievement and I have yet to make it to the top.

I’m trying but the nerfs and the bugs most of all remain and it’s kinda killing my excitement to log in and play mine lately.

Still love the whole idea though and the cool skills!

Likewise here. It’s greyed out and takes me to the hero point screen when I try to click but I’ve already learned it long ago. x.x

Pretty Pixie.8603:

What Na said. Producing new content for a once a year festival is a wasteful use of resources, considering they have LS3 and an expansion to work on.

It’s not a waste of resources. It’s an investment in the future. Look at Guild Wars 1. Their festivals are now on an automatic schedule and they STILl draw a lot of people back for them because there is a lot to do and they are fun.

When GW2 starts to die down then those festivals will be a big part in keeping people coming back… if only for a week or so.

Chungo.3169:

I am main rev and not just this nerf, first cure Shiro is now practically nonexistent (he being the worst I had in the game) plus added little cleaning condi leave us with no cure in the legend of pvp (they call this balance), the change in the aspect of nature has left the rev out raids and WvW not to mention the features of retribution that made it totally useless use, change in maintenance facet light x1 to x2 and changes that seem to fill. Anet said if nerf something, some other skills would increase to match, and then I wonder that improved?
The worst thing is that they have not practically arranged any major bug, such as receiving x6 times damage confusion when using relentless assault, precision strike (which fail most times or dispersed without impacting) or superspeed that does not give caotica release and so could follow …
If rev is not viable for raids, nor pvp (being asked a thief with experience in pvp the problem of them a rev without stability and Daggers happy to shiro) and WvW not, where it will be useful this profession?
Sincerely with both nerf and so little balance players gw2 eventually change the game, especially for the disappointment to those who like pvp or mvm, I am the first since the situation does not improve and ignore or miso users.
Are you all agree and see these nerf justified?

I agree with you. This class is a cluster of bugs and overtuning… I’m starting to think maybe A.net should just take it back to the drawing board.

TexZero.7910:

I am dumbfounded by the majority of changes….

The ele changes are mostly reverts from 3 or 4 patches back…..

The engi changes made me outright laugh…We want to increase its DPS, only increases 2 dps skills.

I don’t even anymore….

And they keep ignoring Turrets.

As a Revenant player I don’t think I’m alone that most of us are just sick and tired of waiting on bugs to get fixed that were reported Day 1.

It’s getting ridiculous at this point. Also we’re searching for the promised DPS increase to compensate for the nerfs that A.net previewed before this patch.

xarallei.4279:

I’m just really disgusted overall. Since HoTs release it’s been nothing but nerf after nerf. I don’t understand, the class is not too strong. You don’t see people stacking revs for everything. Why the hell do they keep nerfing rev? I’m pretty fed up at this point since both classes I play the most keep getting nerfs (rev and druid).

I feel the same way mostly because ancient bugs STILL EXIST. To be honest I was really hoping for real comprehensive bugfixes more than the balance changes.

It’s reaching a ridiculous level how NEGLECTED this class has been. I really wish someone from A.net would address this lingering insanely huge bug list that goes on and on.

They won’t answer. If they do it will be the usual lip service nonsense they’ve been spitting at us for over a year.

Remember when they posted in the Revenant Bug List topic and made us think they were actually concerned? Good times…
(Yeah I’m a bit perturbed to say the least)

I was mostly joking about Trahearne. Honestly I think it needs to stay as characters not introduced in GW2. None of them have really made legendary status yet in my opinion.

This has also made me realize I really wish Legends spoke to you more as was kinda hyped before HoT came out.

Vasdamas Anklast.1607:

There was a good suggestion/guess that the next legend might as well be Scarlet Briar as there is high possibility that Anet may give rifle to some other class.

I would literally delete my Revenant and pretend the class no longer exists if that were to happen. That character needs to be forgotten by everyone.

Now let’s talk about Trahearne. He could use shouts and have all his most annoying sayings. Elite Shout would be “This won’t end well!”

Your post me realize the answer has to be Tybalt. It just clicked. Now I know for a fact the next legend will be Tybalt and it’s pointless to wish otherwise.

I could live with that. Forgal could deserve some consideration. >.>

BeaT.3541:

Garm was harder to kill for me then the last boss/dragon. I couldn’t melee it and cannot ranged it, it was faster then me and cannot use my skills backawards. Trough I finished the story with my guard I don’t think I’ll do it with my rev. The draft it’s still buggy I had to restart the mission 2 times because the glider didn’t worked.

Sorry this made you quit GW2, the content should be challenging, but not with bugs.

I died a lot to Garm but I managed to find a way to make it much easier. Try to lure him to the edge of the map and there’s a little tiny pit you can pull him into so her arrows can’t get you. It makes the fight so much easier.

QQing.3089:

Just realized how crap I am on revenant now. Thanks…

I know that feel. x.x I’m horrible at this class but I love it for some reason.

KRERz.7304:

I can’t help but wonder if it’s intentional to discourage moving into corners and up against walls.

I could understand it but sometimes the Hammers vanish on slight inclines. Unless you’re in an open field on perfectly flat terrain then your hammers are always at risk of cancelling. Or… cancelling but not cancelling so your energy still keeps going down.

Jalis has so much potential for fun but it’s hampered by bugs. The taunt skill costs way too much for such a low duration as well.

Need some actual numbers here and what will you be doing to compensate Revenants for this? Other legends need attention, a lot of it but not a peep on that. This announcement only serves to alarm people without other changes to maybe soften the blows here.

Every gem has been paid for by somebody on the exchange.

Redfeather.6401:

I think whips might work. There is a sylvari personal story mission where you get a whip weapon with whip it good skills.

It’s awesome looking too. I was sad when I had to go back to my “boring old weapons” :P

Ember Bay is a loot pinata that is insanely easy compared to HoT maps. It really needs attention. Getting golds for every event that finishes in about 2 seconds that are constantly respawning on really short cooldowns is out of control.

Gem Store items are not finite properties that can run out. Real Life arguments really should not apply. If someone wants something they will buy it… putting people through unnecessary annoyance is just that: needlessly annoying people

Apparently we haven’t been “patient enough”.

Ember Bay is too easy for too many rewards. Fun but I think it needs a bump in challenge.

Fun, beautiful map. The new destroyers are a little too weak for my tastes. Maybe that was intentional to introduce us to them before making them feel like real threats? Right now they are near instant cannon fodder.

I like the storyline but I’m afraid that you’re spreading yourselves waaay too thin with all these storyline loose ends. It seems like each episode introduces new ones while rarely, if ever, wrapping up the multitude of ones we are still awaiting answers for.

I’m of the mind that the insane ability to keep swiftness up indefinitely along with the multitude of ways to get around is already too much. This is a huge world that feels really small because of all this.

Maybe I’m old fashioned.

I wish we at least had a second row of utility skills so we could do something and switch it up a bit sometimes. I love my Revenant but it does get rather blah after awhile.

We all have to wait for PvP Season to end…

Copper Fed is the single greatest thing I have ever bought from the Gem Store.

Vyrulisse.1246:

My take on the matter is that you’re “The Boss” and you should start putting your foot down a lot more than you do.

Why is every other character allowed to “speak their mind” and “do whatever they want” besides us? We constantly are undermined by these useless characters and do nothing about it.

We (the player character) are no longer wide-eyed heroes in training. We are hardened veterans who is responsible for killing TWO Elder Dragons already. A lot more respect from these people is deserved.

At this point Rytlock is the only one that speaks to you as an equal and like an adult.

… Control issues, much?

Not at all. Just tired of being the patzy while everyone else gets character development. If they wanted to give our player character an actual character then they should give it the attention they do everyone else. It’s the natural progression of how they’ve built up our character. We are “the boss” as everyone calls us yet no one ever listens to us and they talk to us like we’re still a new boot.

Heart of Thorns did a good job progressing us as taking charge but like I said up there, it feels like we regressed.

I like it because Rytlock knows he can leave whenever he wants and it felt like he was just going to humor them and The Black Citadel at his leisure.

I agree completely, i find it stupid how even Taimi gets to push you around and send you on errands for her.. Who is the guildmaster now?

I would be glad if we for once werent manipulated or led by everyone again.
Sure, we have to do the hearts etc, but it could be implemented like in HOT where you told others what to do and then went to do the hardest thing yourself.
HoT made you feel like you were truly a commander.
Now you are just a pawn again, even through you are suppoused to be the leader of the best dragon killing guild ever.

Id be happy with pc as Aurenes slave- uh i mean champion, but beigh pushed around by majory, caithe or even taimi? Not cool.

That’s a good point about HoT. It feels like our character has regressed since then.
