Guild Wars 2

It doesn’t matter what the reward would have been. Even if it was 5 Precursors people would still have said it wasn’t enough.

Fortus.6175:

Though some people say mesmers rank first and thieves second, unless Im provided with some up-to-date spreadsheet that proves otherwise, I will say that from personal experience corroborated by my fellow day-to-day players;

Warrior
Mesmer
Guardian
Ranger
Thief
Elementalist
necromancer

That… isn’t exactly right. Number crunchers in the Dungeon forum will give you this as a general answer:

Guanglai Kangyi.4318:

Max buffed, from best to worst:

Mesmer (Sw/Sw with 3 phantasms) = ~15k
Thief (D/D backstab) = ~13.5k
Elementalist (fire staff or LH) = ~13k
Guardian (GS+Sword) = ~11k
Necromancer (D/F+WH with all minions) = ~11k
Warrior (Axe+GS) = ~10k
Ranger (Sword and Feline pet) = ~9.5k
Engineer (Grenades) = ~9k

…not everyone hates Scarlet…

Go to GW1 during holidays…. same thing every year, has been since 2005… why change tradition? :p

GW1 festivals were the same yearly, why are people kittening about it being the same now?

I am going to give positive feedback in my answers, not to be different, but because I honestly feel different

Will you recommend Guild Wars 2 to a friend during the “Migration” period?

I have, and will continue to do so.

Why or why not?

This game has way too much to offer to pass up, I myself am approaching, or maybe by now I’ve passed, 3000 hours logged in and I still enjoy every moment of it.

What do you like about the current Living Story content?

The world is changing, hopefully for the sake of Tyria, in a better way

What do you dislike?

It isn’t permanent, and not retroactive, while I understand not everything needs to be available at all times (holiday stuff and the like), but the option to participate in certain previous Living Story releases would be nice for newer players, would be a fantastic selling point for the game

In your opinion, do you like the direction of this game? What would you like to see?

I am very optimistic about the future of Guild Wars 2. I would like to see more areas to explore available, and maybe bring the Living Story on track with the overall Lore of Guild Wars 2; the awakening of the Elder Dragons

Am I being fair in my observation?

I think so, but is my voice really being heard, and more importantly, listened to?

Lilith Ajit.6173:

I am thankful for The mystic forge liking me okay.

(E)lectio(n) between Ellen Kiel and Evon Gnashblade. Even though Gnashblade lost it was fun to have a voice in a concept being developed

Maybe these things are being used by Scarlet… to awaken Primordus. Yes he’s already awake, but maybe she’s enraging him or drawing him out. They thump every know and then, almost like an oil rig

Chessrook.8643:

Some of those are useless against certain classes. The weapon-switching debuff does not affect Engineers and Elementalists, and the lack of stealth has no effect on Warriors, Guardians, Elementalists, and whatever other classes lack Stealth skills.

If a Sigil of Battle works on Engineer tool kits, and Elementalist Attunement swap, then I’m sure the same will apply here

I was thinking the Gambits from the Queen’s Gauntlet would be applied to them. Permanent unremovable burning, no endurance, etc.

Enaretos.8079:

In France we have a saying : “Il faut de tout pour faire un monde”. That means that we can’t make a world go round with only one type of people. Which also means that there has to be both casuals and elitists.

The exact translation is “it takes all kinds to make a world”. That being said, you don’t need a world with kittens. Casuals and Elitists do NOT have to exist, nor should there be a discrimination of one against the other. As a Dungeon veteran, I always help newer players that are inexperienced because I enjoy it. Saying you HAVE to have casuals and elitists is an exaggeration, because you’re saying two types, when there are many, countless others. Specifically, there doesn’t have to be elitists anymore than there has to be casuals. Neither are needed, but ONE will not exist without the other, because elitists consider most everyone that don’t live up to their expectations or standards casual, and at the other end casuals consider those that offer unwanted advice to be elitist :p

What about Magister Seiran and the Vigil partner? Be fair to each personal story choice

I’ve always wondered why what Bragdras said isn’t the case. Why wont the spider just use all of its abilities all the time. Or why don’t boulders fall in that little corner at Rumblus? I think they are just oversights. Little things that just got left out of the code.

I don’t need anything new to keep playing I’ll be here for years to come. But, to contribute… maybe World Bosses should give a guaranteed EXOTIC weapon/armor. Rares aren’t as valuable

Nike that isnt farming! That’s opening what you already farmed :p

60 minutes over 14 days is 4.2 minutes a day… thats some efficiebt farming

Big Tower.5423:

Thief IS the highest single target damage no doubt, second is either mesmer or ele. followed by GUARDIAN, then Warrior.

Fixed it for you

I’m 24, and feel the game is just right for me. No subscription, and I play a good 8 hours a day =)

Has already been previously stated, but challenging content is there, but those that want it, don’t do it. Tequatl and Southsun, Aetherpath as a few examples. Do those, or, if you will not do those, explain WHY you won’t. Lack of good drops is not an answer, because what that tells me is you want good drops, not challening content.

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but if you take a command like “/roar”, or “/flex” it doesn’t give you “Unknown Command”, but if you take something that wasn’t in Guild Wars 1, it will give you the Unknown Command. That always made me think they would be implemented at some point.

In WvW zergs, this skill will probably do rather amazing… have enough organization and enough casts, can keep a full zerg healthy for a long time. Zerg of 40 would mean that only 8 people would have to cast it to receive a 4000 heal, staggered over 6 seconds each you’re essentially getting 4000 health and curing 3 conditions every 6 seconds.

It heals only you. Only condition cleansing is AoE.

You sure?! :O I coulda sworn I was being healed by a party member’s

Need more women like him too… just… people in general -.-

I agree though, they do fantastic but people always find something to complain about. Sometimes I feel like the only one who has never complained about any Living Story update :p

I guess mace could count for hammer… but another idea could be katanas or ninja swords. Faster, lighter version of a greatsword

It has been answered… look through the dungeon forum threads for it.

Galtrix.7369:

Asmodeus.5782:

The sad state of DE (one of the most interesting aspects of GW2, but nevertheless a dead one) may improve after introducing the new ascended mats as rewards, but only with some serious diminishing returns on farming one zone over and over again.

Otherwise, trains are just going to train ’til the Kingdom come…

I haven’t done a Dynamic Event in 6 months, and I never will until the rewards get increased to 15 silver per event. Otherwise, there’s no point in doing them and wasting my time.

You have the Sunbringer title…

One handed hammer! Think Mjolnir!

Verdelet Arconia.6987:

Monster Hunter(equipment upgrade mechanic) PLUS Dark Souls(battle mechanic) PLUS shadow of the colossus(boss battles) PLUS Guild wars 2 (maps) MINUS gw2 skill balance team(whack a mole) MINUS living story (bi-weekly play it or miss it forever) = GW3 that i wish for

I only played Shadow of the Colossus, but I hated it. It was too repetitive, kill a bunch of Colossi by climbing on them :p. You want that?

ANet has stated that the way the Living Story is… ultimately the world of GW2 will possibly change the world enough to feel like a whole new game, (i’ll find the source when i get on my laptop, phone surfing too slow). That being said, this game’s style is fantastic! Way better than GW1’s boring tank/spike crap. No invulnerability builds, no easy mode abilities/builds. However I do miss Underworld

If the button press does:

Bring up the chat box, type all of the characters you want, and send the message, all in one press… I think that’s not allowed per Gaile Gray

TexZero.7910:

Everything in the open world should be accessible and doable by a group of random strangers without the assistance of VoIP programs. If it’s not there’s a massive design flaw considering how this product was shipped.

Tequatl can be done by random people, no voice. It ISNT done, because there arent enough people at the event. So what though? If I wantguildies, and friends from all servers, and Instancing him takes away from the open world aspect of events. Hell, it makes it easier for people to not fight him. You wanna beat it? Gather up 60-70 friends and do it. More if you feel you need it

Reward system should be something like…

For every enemy you kill, your end reward goes up by one Silver or something…

More of an epic moment than funny, but in a tPvP match a few months ago, map was Spirit Watch, and my team of ranks 44, 40, 36, 30 and 19 got matched up… somehow, with Supcutie, Powerr, and 3 other mid 40s. We won the match 520-473, but the funny moment was when our rank 36 downed someone on Raven, then proceeded to head to another point to help there, forgetting to Finish the person. By the time he realized it, someone else came and revived the player. It almost cost us the match, but after the fact it was pretty funny.

What i see coming is eventually is:

Ascalonian Catacombs: “Fixed a bug that prevented the spider queen from doing her AoE poison if in melee range”

Qualamala Lumpa.9832:

I know that at least 1 in every 3 of my attempts I can make it to the top

If you’re only making it 1 out of every 3 attempts, that is failing. That is 33.333333333% pass rate. Which is a failing grade. You shouldn’t consider this easy until your success rate is above 70%.

I consider it extremely easy. 1 in 3? I did say at least once, meaning I also can do 2/3 and 3/3, which I have. But that besides the point. Jumping Puzzles are an amazing aspect of this game, and it’s called a puzzle for a reason. Puzzles are meant to be hard or challenging. The MK JP is neither….

By this logic, no jumping puzzle is hard. Hard is an opinion, but ANet measures it by how many of their community can beat it. I would guess less than 10% of the community has. I don’t know, i just know I am the only one of my friends who has beaten it, and I’ve had to beat it for 6 of them

I dont know what that means o.o

Understood, but okay. Take Ranger for example:

Opening Strike on Ranger, and pet, thats 10 stacks of vulnerability. Longbow 2 is another 10, Whirling Defense is another 12. (Yes, I use this setup), that is 32 Vulnerability. If I’m able to see 30 stacks of Bleeds on a foe, I’d like to see all of my Vulnerability applied as well!

It’s a stackable Condition… all Conditions should he treated equal yes?

Why is this needed? Bring ONE Condi player to dungeons, its DPS is rather strong.. (20 Bleeds hitting for 140/stack, 800+ burning). The damage seems low, but its consistent! I always have a condi ele in my party and if shes the only one applying bleeds and burn, the DPS is solid. The setup I described is unbuffed, and doesn’t include the attack damage, like Churning Earth’s 9k, or Fire Grab’s 10k. Not saying its AMAZING, but it’s something to consider.

Now, in general PvE, in giant world bosses like Tequatl, having no cap would allow 600+ Bleeds… and 600+ Vulnerability, think how broken that is. I may be slightly exaggerating, but think about what you’re asking for

The fact that there is no perma invincibility (Shadow Form),

This game is soloable, no heroes and crap

Dungeons!!! Love the money I can make doing them, especially now with 1g per path

colesy.8490:

I think the OP is looking more for the actual math or a video comparison.

I only want this because the people you were arguing with in that thread were bugging the crap out of me. Once “sufficient proof” is offered, I’ll report it back to the other thread since those Warriors probably aren’t looking here anyway.

Anicetus.1253:

Yes.

That’s in one situation. The way it was discussed made it seem in general. More than just one perfect situation. Point is, I simply asked the question because someone told a bunch of warriors to do it, so I called his bluff FOR those warriors. I agree with him, but the Warriors want proof

In this thread:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Why-play-anything-besides-guardian/first

Reading through it you will find a discussion about DPS from classes. colesy.8490 stated numerous times that “Guardians out-DPS Warriors”. While I know this to be true, many on that thread laughed and dismissed it as false. Those Warriors wanted proof of his claims, and he offered the experimental findings of Guang, from:

Guanglai Kangyi.4318:

Max buffed, from best to worst:

Mesmer (Sw/Sw with 3 phantasms) = ~15k
Thief (D/D backstab) = ~13.5k
Elementalist (fire staff or LH) = ~13k
Guardian (GS+Sword) = ~11k
Necromancer (D/F+WH with all minions) = ~11k
Warrior (Axe+GS) = ~10k
Ranger (Sword and Feline pet) = ~9.5k
Engineer (Grenades) = ~9k

So that being said, colesy asked those warriors to post the question in the Dungeon forum, and said whoever posted would find a very quick response. I am simply doing just that FOR those warriors that do not believe. Can/Does a Guardian REALLY out DPS a Warrior?

Exosferatu.2961:

I hope Trahearne has flaws like being corrupted by great power. But I doubt it . . . =/
He’s too perfect, Arena Net needs to get rid of him and Scarlet maybe one time in the game Trahearne and Scarlet confront each other and then Kralkatorrik land on top of them and they died both.

That escalated quickly…

clint.5681:

The day i can be a guard/warrior my life will be complete. Or a Gaurd/thief or a Thief/Mes

Or a Ranger/Necro (My main in Gw1)

Touch ranger too good! Love it! And while I hated GW1 overall, the friends I made on it are unforgettable

Sorry, i was trying to make it sound appropriate, he reports if hes kicked for not running Berserker. Also said he refuses to run it anywhere

I love the P Story! I make it a goal to beat it on every character. I love how it ends, and Trahearne is one of my favorite NPCs. Aside from Caithe

Galtrix.7369:

My Elementalist has 104% critical hit chance and about the same power. I die so quickly in any type of PvP mode, it’s not even funny.

This coming from the guy who will report “anyone running full Berserker and kicking those that don’t?”

I personally like the idea that some bosses may have power/toughness swapped! This way, on at least said boss in a dungeon, those that build more safely can feel powerful
