Guild Wars 2

"

The warrior had frenzy popped, most likely wearing a berserker amulet, with additional damage modifiers, nothing to see here folks."

Can you prove he had Frenzy popped?

Also i don’t believe anyone said he wasn’t glass cannon….But I don’t think anyone else sane believes that 25k damage Back stabs are reasonable.

Rofl, can’t wait for MMAC to claim victory in the game after everyone has left just like they did in Rift

This post is a perfect example of why they’re called JQQ..

This is how it works..

For those who played SWTOR they’ll get this..

Glass Cannon Rangers = Pyro Powertech’s

Glass Cannon Thiefs = Anni Marauders..

Both can kill people extremely fast.. and I mean extremely fast…However the Pyro’s form of Escape was basically Kill the target before it kills you, You had basically no escape from the fight once it was started..

Marauders Did… Multiple Escapes….Multiple “Oh kitten” buttons designed to save them when they screwed up…

What if Spirits were reworked to basically allow you and your pet to take on the aspect of a spirit instead. Basically if you choose Sun Spirit and pop the ability, you and your pet have a chance to apply the burn damage as a passive. You could then have abilities in the line to increase the chance it goes off like it currently does. Allow you to apply the spirit as an Aura to surrounding people. Maybe allow you to apply the passive as a reactive buff instead of a passive attack buff. (Meaning you get hit, you’ll respond with a burn)

This would remove the need for having 3 little tree’s following you around that are easily killed. It almost might make the line something remotely useful.

If you have other idea’s, please post them in this thread.

Yeap, noticed this..

Usually only on jellyfish though.

Colonel Kernel.7506:

Double tap your movement keys for dodge. Camera facing is now irrelevant.

I do

Nothing more annoying then getting pulled, Having my Camera facing the direction i want to dodge to, only to watch my dude do back flips because he hasn’t turn around yet.

Extremely Annoying.

Why do I think the main solution to this is for Henge of Denravi to lose? Because deep down, that seems to be what the main complaint is, that Henge of Denravi isn’t losing and SBI/JQ/ET aren’t winning.

I have a feeling of henge loses, that these complaints will magically drop off.

Because the number 1 rule of MMO’s is

“1. It’s never my fault as a player, I’m not a terrible player, if I lose, there is something in the game working against me”

All i got from this is “The French are beating us”

So yea…

soji.1475:

Sbi took the orbs during TA’s primetime when TA people were on… HoD took the orbs back when noone was around really to defend them.. yeah that sounds legit too i guess? Like i said TA ain’t worth jack without the absurd amount of Asian/Oceanic players you have covering your sorry kitten so quit taking all the credit like it’s TA making a difference in HoD it isn’t you guys are just a zerg nothing more.

If you completely ignore the fact we tried to take the orb back from SBI, only we couldn’t actually move the Orb after taking the keep, then yes.. I suppose what you’re saying is true

grin

Then again, so far from what I’ve read of your posts, it amounts to “Yes you’re winning, but only because of -insert excuse-, If it wasn’t for -insert excuse-…you’d be in last place!”

celeron.3469:

He wants to WvW but doesn’t want to switch from the winning server.

Not switching away from the server my Guild is on, Certainly not going to lose all the influence rewards we’ve built up either.

Either way, I don’t mind helping some of the lower underdog servers out…

Idea is simple, If a side doesn’t have a lot of players, and there isn’t a whole lot of action out. You can choose to enter the Merc Portal….This will put you on an underpopulated/outgunned team on a Cluster that you’re not on (So For example, if you’re an HoD player like me, I wouldn’t get put on SBI/ET team, but I’d get put on a different server to help them out) This would be completely random when you enter the portal (at max you could enter with a group basically) So not to game the system…. Players from other servers with high off time populations might get put in the SBI/ET/HoD pairing at night for example..

I think probably the best way to do is maybe only put on teams that are underdogs, For example if there is a 50k point difference between the losing team and the winning team, and they have like nothing on the map, It would throw you on one of those.

I think an idea like this might help some of the underdog teams, as you might spread out some of the goodness, As of right now, Most people aren’t going to transfer from established servers I imagine.

Are you asking if i’m going to continue to play the game that’s f2p and that I can sign in and pvp anytime I want?

Superior Rune of Svanir

As a Beastmaster Ranger, The single best rune you can wear in SPvP is Superior Rune of Svanir, same with WvW..

Basically it insures you’ll kill most of the people you get in a 1v1 with that are heavy burst classes… Warriors/Rogues for example will die because of it.

They teleport on top of you, unleash their load, and then you go immune, at which point you pop stealth on your Jag and QZ and watch your pet rip them apart in about 3 seconds…

That’s right, while immune you can issue commands to your pet, and pop abilities, you just can’t attack.

How to screw people over with Pets in PvP, this mainly is for 100Blades Warriors and Pistol Whip Rogues..

Spec whatever Pet you like, I personally do 30 Skirmish/30 Beast/10 Wilderness

Use Jaguar Pet (Stealth) and QZ

Now go and put Superior Rune of Svanir on your armor, Watch as Warriors/Rogues teleport on top of you to drop their load, Proceed to pop Stealth/QZ because you’re now immune for 5 Seconds while your pets kills Warrior/Rogue in 3 seconds..

Been doing this to all the bursty Rogues/Warriors i’m running into, Really only works in a 1v1, Against two you’re going to die (you’ll down the guy, but He’ll just get ressed after the second one drops ya, and he will)…..But it’s still amusing..

I don’t care what the excuse is, It’s badly designed and should of never been put in place during World vs World.

This isn’t on my end Chris, if you’re not experiencing this issue, then you’re not doing World vs World at all and fighting large numbers, This is a bloody massive problem.

You can carry the water for the game in other ways, but you’re not going to carry the water on this issue.

And yes, this will not ever be a true PvP game if this issue remains, because people will get tired of it and quit..

This cheap parlor trick you use to Cull the amount of things rendered to make your engine seem better then it is is getting old real fast…..

I may of lagged like hell in SWTOR, and in DAOC, but at least I could bloody see the targets 2 feet in front of me.

9/10 when I die in PvP, it’s to something I can’t see, I have to scroll up and realize that it was some melee class beating on me that was invisible because you put a moronic limit on the amount of players I can see..

It’s simply not fun, I would rather lag like hell and at least know where to possibly kite away from. Or know when to run for that matter…

So either bloody fix this crap, or this will never be a true PvP game.

Solution to people complaining about Pets in PvP

30 Skirmish Line get the 30% crit Talent/30% movement Speed talent (you can then decide what ya want after that, I choose Health on Crit talent for Pet)

10 Wilderness – 50% fall damage reduction, If you WvW at all, this is mandatory.

30 Beast – Master’s bond/Increase Pet Heal (you can change this really, I just tend to use this)/ Pet Health Regen.

Pet – Use Jaguar

Skills – Really up to you, But one of them has to be Quickening Zypher

Now whenever you fight anyone in PvP, pop stealth on Jag, then QZ.. Watch as your pet kills pretty much everyone in under 5 Seconds.

Also put your pet on Passive while you pvp, It’s on your bar, If ya don’t, you constantly have to call them back as random crap hits ya, With this you have to command them to attack but it gives you a bit more control over your pet.

You can use your Jaguar to snipe people doing this as well, They’re on siege during a stand off and everyone is fighting? Send your pet in, soon as he gets to target pop stealth/QZ, watch as he craps on that person..

Your pet will die sometimes, however more often then not, If you manage your pet properly it shouldn’t be a problem..

edit

Wanted to add this, If you’re not going up beast mastery all the way, and you’re not picking up pet related talents in the other tree’s, you’re not actually a “Ranger Pet User” Going 30 in the first tree and 30 in the second tree doesn’t make you a pet user, It means you have a pet, but you’re damage is going to come from you mainly. To make the ranger pet actually work you have to spec in the actual beast mastery line…and you really have two options on how ya do it, Either go Skirmishing, or go Nature’s with it and run a boon build with your pet.

I tried it and it doesnt’t do all that dmg + most of the times pet doesn’t atk)

If your pet isn’t attacking, it’s because you’re not telling your pet to attack..

The culling is annoying as hell

when a Warrior can pop me with 100B’s and i not see him cause he’s not loaded it’s getting to the point of silly…

Just remove the culling, If your engine can’t run it, don’t try and use a BS method to hide that fact..

I’ve been using the pet for a while I use him by sending him after someone hiding next to a group of players and pop stealth right when he gets there.. Then watch as he shreds people while invisible.

DAOC handled it this way, They loaded all the player models well outside your clip range, This is why you could be standing somewhere, and “feel” the lag and know that something was coming. They certainly didn’t handle the way GW2 does, because I never had a problem with 8mans or 100 man zergs just magically appearing on my screen, I saw them coming..

I mean, I could understand if it was a distance away, But when I’m eating 100B from a Warrior standing next to me, and i don’t even see him cause of the lag, Something is bloody wrong with the system..

How do I know it was 100B? Because My life dropped fast as hell and I booked it, I then scrolled back up in my combat log and saw what was beating on me…

You’ll never quite balance classes in an MMO, Which is something a few MMO companies haven’t learned, Look at WoW, GW2, SWTOR ect ect..They’ve ran a low number of classes in their MMO..Why? Because they don’t want to have balance issues, But they still end up with them, despite limiting the players options..

Rift and DAOC didn’t limit your options, yes you had unbalanced classes, but bloody hell, DAOC had over 40 classes.. OVER 40…….Rift has over 20 itself… That’s not including the Multi class..That’s just over 20 actual classes…

Despite DAOC having over 40 Classes, It was still fairly balanced even in the big realm fights.. Some Realms had certain advantages, Banshee’s/Animist for example..But Warlock’s and Theurgist were not slouch either in those fights…. 8v8 Came down to setups, but no setup for any realm was unbeatable…

ArenaNet has tried to give us DAOC 2, But this isn’t DAOC2, This is a poor copy of DAOC with better graphics… that is all..

Going to agree with this as well, I can understand if I swap pets, or they die.. but entering water and losing it blows..

Whats worse is if ya have the same type of pet for both.. you still lose it

sign friend account was hacked 5 days ago…

120907-003618

My friend has over 80 Hours on his wait time now, I see countless people with Week wait time.. i’m sorry, But this is just sad and stupid plus it’s frankly pathetic that a Company like Anet has chosen to screw over its Customer Base by not offering a Phone Number.

I read in a previous post that when they had Phone Numbers before and it took longer, Which i’m calling bullkitten on..You’d have to be absolutely incompetent as hell to have over a 3 day waiting Period with Phone Support.

If your company doesn’t want to put money down on Phone Support, grow somekittenballs and come out and admit you’re a Third rate gaming company.

Notice I said third rate and not second rate….Because even Second Rate Facebook games have Phone Support..

why do I keep picturing Lance as Matthew McConaughey talking about how loves Hacked Account tickets because he keeps getting older and they keep staying the same age.

Was the 72 Hour promise 72 hours till they actually bother to look at your ticket?

This is bloody silly, the excuse that you don’t have a phone number is sad… ..

My Friends account got hacked a few days ago, He put in a ticket and everything since it seems you’re allowed to change the Email/Account name of the account without an email verification which I’m trying to figure out who thought that was a great idea…but hey whatever… Anyway its been a bit over 30 hours and he’s wanting an update.. He’s provided all the information..
