Josh said it would happen…. eventually. But the main point is becauseengineers have such a bad Rep I can’t even finish getting my hotw Armor… lucky to get a cof run…. All I can really do is spvp, solo pve, and farm bubbles in sab for something that may not even happen for another year….
This is so over dramatic. Seeing as I’ve never had problems getting parties for anything using lfg.com or even in game methods.
If you’re seriously having some issues getting groups for this stuff, send me a PM, i’ll get an HOTW run running for you within seconds. I mean it. I’m not talking out my butt.

They’re coming out with new worlds for SAB, and in turn I would imagine more weapon skins. Patience my friend.
Or maybe they’re not coming out with new worlds and it was a big april fools joke.
I would just like to point out…
I was an engie before it was cool
Yeah, what he said.
[ACME] is a good guild tag, I like it. Was wondering: Are you trying to use the letters to make a name? Like what Zenguy posted? I’m a fan of guild tags that represent what the name is. i.e. I have a guild called Rock Em Sock Em, and the guild tag is [ROBO]. I would maybe look into that.
I also thought about maybe using one of the Iconic Box titles from the cartoon series itself. Could be fun.
Some Suggestions:
- Do It Yourself [ACME]
- Do It Yourself Tornado Kit [ACME]
- Quality is our #1 Dream [ACME] (Not sure if you can use the “#” tag)
- Jim Dandy Wagon [ACME] (I really like this one for some reason)
- Handle With Care [ACME]
- Ultimatum Dispatcher [ACME]
- Genius [ACME]
- Rocket Powered Unicycle [ACME]
Also:
- ACME [CORP] (For Acme corporation, just a thought)
I like these suggestions alot thanks for stickin to the topic btw ! It doesn’t have to be an acronym seeing as in the looney tunes, ACME wasn’t an acronym at all, if you do some reading on it. I like the do it yourself idea’s. Someone gave me a good idea for “Don’t try this at home” [ACME] which I thought was sort of funny. Or maybe Contents Under Pressure, or Caution Contents Flammable.
I like “Handle with care” alot too. What is the Jim Dandy Wagon from?
Another ACME one:
- Attack Control Mine Explore [ACME]
Without the acronym:
- ACME Engineering
- ACME Industries
- ACME Security
- ACME Pest Control
And a more conventional one for Engineers:
- 1st Sapper Regiment [SAPR]
I actually like all of these. I wonder though, I would hate to put ACME in the actual guild name because it will be written like “Acme” seeing as you can’t put capital letters next to eachother =/. Maybe just the word then ACME as the tag? hmmm…

Occasionally my character says somethign really crazy when i use it. so yes, they do say something.
I tried making a thread about this issue as well, but to my surprise more people were okay with the downskills being the way they were. O.o..
I agree, i want to see a change, i want some mobility or healing kitten it!
Other classes think I’m more pathetic than ever. It’s horrible x.x Other than that , I play like I always have. Meh. Im not happy with the class overall, and really frustrated that I’m going to keep getting nerfed and nerfed til this class has nothing to offer to anybody or anything. But til then, I’ll continue to have fun.
It might be the moment right before they explode on you (no pun intended), like the actual ride the lightning is a projectile but when they get to you it goes BOOOM and theyre normal again. maybe its the moment right before the boom
So, I thought about it, thought about guild recruitment videos or just guild represent videos, and I really really like the ACME tag, i just don’t have anything that fits within the character limits.
Edit: A Clan Made for Engineers. ? Hmmm idk Or even Engimaniacs, Grenadimaniacs?
Any ideas. i don’t mean to bump up the thread past more important topics. just want some good ole fashion creative juices flowin~
(edited by Wuffles.5319)
I love inventor names, and the real name is short and to the point. 7/10 :P
Wuffles Puffs. I dont expect a good rating.
^ yeah, we know, it woulda just been funny if they were considered a projectile.
I want to see this tested
Any build is viable if you know how to play the game.
Stop letting cookie cutter people tell you what’s right and wrong. What is the “only” way and what isn’t. Play the way you want to. I haven’t ever gotten a complaint on my build anywhere, ever. And it’s not even a real build. It’s a farming build atm O.o
^ Hey now! I wasn’t being grumpy! I just thought about Shiny Vampires and i was turned off okay lol
sez the asura with “edward” tattood to his left bicep.
More like tattooed on my left flower lip.
:QQQQQQ
What’s so Vampire about it?
The Vampire portion of this build is Sigil of Leeching, Sigil of Blood, 2 x Rune of Vampirism.
The Juggernaut portion comes from building 7-8 stacks of might with +200 toughness from Flamethrower.
Combined with Backpack Regenerator, Healing Mist, Super Elixir, and Medpacks, its some serious regen. With 10 points in Tools, your Bandage Self is lowered from 20 seconds to 18 and Healing mist from 40 seconds to 36.
And before you ask, kit switching and weapon swapping are the same. In the video, you’ll see a green skull buff when I switch kits. That gives me a 975 heal on attack, and I suck out 425 when I proc.
With a 60% non-Rage and 80% Rage crit chance and combined with hitting 5 times a second with flame jet, I proc Blood every 2nd or 3rd spray, or once every 4 to 6 seconds.
The cooldown of Blood and Leeching are global, however, blood only has a 2 second cooldown, and I kit switch so much that it really only means that Leeching has a 12 second cooldown instead of ten. Watch the video, and see how much I regen in a fight.
I burn with Napalm, Fire bomb, Incendiary Ammo, Blowtorch, and Air Blast (for extension of pre-existing burns), +10%, Energy Conversion Matrix, +2 – 4%, Sharpshooter + Target the Maimed + 5%, Deadly Mixture +15%,
This means I do 32-34% added damage with Flame Jet with +13% crit damage for Runes of Ogre and 10 points in Tools.
I proc Bleeding, Burning and Vulnerability with a 60-80% total Crit chance (depending on Rage) for opponents above 50% health, and 70-90% Crit for below opponents below 50% health thanks to Target the Weak. It hits hard, even when you miss a few hits, though the main purpose of Flame Jet is to proc Bleed, Burn, Vuln, and Heal.
You run in Rage about 70% of the time during fights if you drop Stimulant, and Hidden Flask procs at 75% health (Which is your average health after the first burst).
The real beauty of this build is the blind combo for 1v1. Smoke Vent their face, Air Blast, Acid Bomb, Static Shot, Smoke Bomb, Tranquilizer dart through the smoke field for 3 shots then drop Super Elixir and Healing mist and fight on. You’ll get 1 blind at least off the field, and their hits will non-crit for half damage with Tranq Dart’s weaken. This is a good Opener for rangers.
For Node assaulting, run into the zerg, Napalm, Big Ol’ Bomb, Acid bomb outta there, Flame Blast (the distance of Acid Bomb leapback and Flame Blast auto destruct is the same) You’ll get three hits of Acid Bomb for about 1k, Knockback for about 2k, and the Flame ball will hit for about 400 then 1500, and you’re only in the meatgrinder for about 2 seconds and you’ll give 3 to 6 stacks of might to any allies inside.
For Rezzing, Drop Big Ol’ Bomn then smoke bomb on your friend. If you don’t have 3 seconds for Big Ol’ Bomb, Acid bomb off the smoke field (or even drop Supply Crate), then rez. For a quick getaway, try smoke bomb, then acid bomb. You leap back in stealth.
Blast combos for this build are Might, Retaliation, and Stealth
Cool
^ Hey now! I wasn’t being grumpy! I just thought about Shiny Vampires and i was turned off okay lol
you lost me at shiny
What’s so Vampire about it?
^ I would really prefer not to go the steam punk route when it comes to a guild name. Thats my personal opinion. cheers/
Would -You- want to be a piece of Junk? lol
D:
That’s just creepy…
It’s a kid in the clutches of santa~!
Is there an all engi guild in Dragonbrand?
I don’t think so, Dragonbrand used to be my home server though, my bf is there too. Maybe in the future i’ll move back eventually.
o/~ I’m a chicken hunter, hunting for the chickens. I’m a clockwork orange with the mechanism tickin’…
I got sunshineeee~~~~~ On a cloudy day~~~~
Got a black AK, gonna blow you awaaaaaaaaaaayyy!!! o/~
LOL
@Chaba, I for sure know about NERF. The only problem is I can’t wvw with you guys, and for alot of people joining guilds, wvw is major. I want to offer that on my server Crystal Desert seeing as it’s a pretty big server and lots of potential for silly engineer adventures. You guys set the bar for what I wanted in the first place, i didn’t realize there was an all engi guild when I thought of this idea.
Alchemy, Chemistry, Mechanics, & Engineering
Perfect! But it won’t fit
Acme Explosives isn’t taken, but I would much rather have an acronym cause Acme without the capital letters kind of sucks :P but i love the idea.
As for as Elixir S goes… I sometimes don’t have the camera problem at all and I made the smallest asura possible. Granted she has a big head o.o
But yeah. sometimes it doesnt do it at all. Maybe its just me
could that be when you look straight down on your character?
because that’s the best way to use elixir S as Asura: the camera staggers less if looking straight down, at least you can do something.
My camera is usually zoomed out all the way, that may be it.
As for as Elixir S goes… I sometimes don’t have the camera problem at all and I made the smallest asura possible. Granted she has a big head o.o
But yeah. sometimes it doesnt do it at all. Maybe its just me
I still use my elixir gun when I’m taking on more of a support role. There are also some builds that let you use elixir gun fulltime i believe. correct me if they are outdated
The how about…
[PRY] “Be Confused”
[ACME] “Asuran College of Magnificent Engineers”
[HGH] “Handsome Grenade Hobblers”
The Acme tag is too perfect. I love it. It actually works really well cause so far my ranks are all asuran origin :P How about Anet Constantly Murders Engineers? hah.
[BROKE] ‘Repair is on the way’
I also like this. It, however, reminds me of "Repair man man man man man man. It will get fixed… EVENTUALLY!
(edited by Wuffles.5319)
Well, Arena Net finally decided to delete the Engineer – Everything is still fine
I was just playing bro :P
btw have you seem that everything is fine video on that other thread, it’s too funny :P
hehe yup! pretty funny. Both videos. The first one kind of goes on til it dies though.
I love the Engi-like names. But what would their tags be? and theyre most likely taken
[ENGI]
Simple and with pride.
My current guild is [Engi] XD hehe but i doubt many people will want to join it because it’s such a boring tag. Trying to think outside the box and get people interested
^ I understand but… I am in no way wearing rose colored glasses. I realize our class is hated by the devs, and i’ve said it on numerous occasions. Im just saying its really bring everyone down. the more you say life sucks, the more someone else will start thinking well gee, maybe my life does suck. and so on. I’m just tired of hearing the same thing being said over and over again. Every post is the same kitten thing. Let’s switch it up a bit. I’ll be posting something fun shortly in a week maybe maybe that’ll cheer people up.
Since when did Grumpy Engineer thread turn into “Our class has so many problems and blaarg blarg blarg” thread
I was just stating you’re grumpy! You crazy people
you start a post that is rather one-sided about engineers being grumpy, in a general way.
Than you also wonder why they are grumpy, which we all assume was the intention of the post.
This is a discussion forum after all, not your diary…As expected people start listing reasons why engineers would be grumpy.
Did you really think those posts wouldn’t list ‘engineer issues’ as the most dominant reason?You asked for it, to be honest.
And this is cming from the one who replied he isn’t even grumpy. But I did say I was very critical here on the forums.
So there you have it
I guess I just get frustrated because it’s the same thing being said over and over and over. no wonder everyone’s so angry. this kind of negative energy spreads fast. Don’t worry~ Be happy~ uhh
I got sunshineeee~~~~~ On a cloudy day~~~~
is anything working CHEER UP, the class is fun
sigh, I need to come out with my fungineer videos quicker
@Google, Awwww thanks that means alot.
What do you guys mean when they use FT 1? So if you’re a FT build you should never use 1?

Bombshell [bomb]

Hahaha, I’d go for this :P
Patch notes
Basically, buffs that weren’t the ones required to make those skills useful (cause turrets are still squishy and thus easily destroyed by whatever enemy that comes around), traits nerfed to oblivion thanks to their unreliability (yes,KR,despite what you think about it), things like an SE buff that isn’t even applied (and when you ask about that in the bugs forum devs simply ignore you) and new bugs like with deployable turrets that make you understand how they didn’t even test those changes.
Meanwhile, thieves get traits hotfixed in a maintenance while i’m still waiting for a response about that SE “buff”.
April fools come, and all the other classes get nice weapons. For us, just the shield.And then you have people asking why we are grumpy. Well, we are in a game where either devs don’t care about us or don’t even seem to know what the problems with the class are.
I don’t know where to start with this. I expect to be ignored by devs, thats just me.
As for the april fools thing, the other worlds are going to come out ,and with them, more weapon skins. At least thats the rumor and what I was told. I don’t think the devs know what they’re doing, but despite all of that, i see some amazing engineers that make my jaw drop in wvw. Theres alot of complaints, i understand the complaints, we have such a hard time already why debuff us more? but the less i worry, the happier i am i guess. so..
stop being grumpy~ hmph
Ahhh I thought you were askin for guild names. I dont think eps will fit though, char limit and all that
I do have Engineer preservation society already :P so it does fit
@dino, I doubt that name is free, but its a nice one.
@ Miri, I like the original names Martar Combat is especially good.
(edited by Wuffles.5319)
I like Enginenuity. Or something, but i was just asking you guys what you thought about the name I already came up with :P but it is fun to see all the cool names. gives me more ideas i guess
there is already a NERF eng guild, but
i would add an S to that acronym and make it [NGS] (plural) and call it the Nerf Gun Syndicate or the Newtonian Gravimetrics Symposium or the Narcissistic Gearhead Squad or summat like that.
See above that I already said I knew there was a guild for engineers, their name is NERF, thats fine. My tag won’t be Nerf.
I don’t really like any of those “S” words =/ hmm
@Dawdler, My guild tag is already Engi, for Engineer preservation society. if i wanted a generic engineer name, well there it is
We never get buffed, only nerfed :c
I just want some positive feedback
I already made a stupid named guild just for fun “Engineer Preservation Society” but not catchy you know?
Note: I realize there’s an all Engineer guild already but not on Crystal Desert. So I’m trying to make a new community.
So me and a friend thought up a new name “Nerf Guns” [NG] N-G get it?
What do you think?
I love my asura engineer. Hands down, wouldn’t have it any other way. Regardless of minor camera issues
Anet cares alot about engineer. And this class is much more flexible then others. Try out other classes and u will see u’ll be stucked in one build again – much more then with engineer where u have dozends of viable builds.
Living under a rock?
