Guild Wars 2

I liked Capricorn,but I think I miss the 8vs8 fights the most.

EEEESSSSSSPPPPPPPPPUUUUUUURRRRTTTTTZZZZZ

So is it going to be 10k smokes next?
I mean we already have the beerbelly and a chance to die from alcohol poisoning.

11 characters.
2 level 80s, one in the sig is my main.
The rest will totally get leveled eventually, suure…

I’ve always wanted playable Tengu since Gw1.

The forgal made me sad. I miss the old man. ;_;

I think Anet knew how a VAST VAST VAST majority of the players felt about trehearne, and did the right thing by quietly, dignifyingly, removing him from the story

Well, not entirely true. There were two surveys in reddit made by DazedRabbit, and although they are taken mostly by redditors, it gives an insight on what players think of Trahearne.

Do you like Trahearne?

Yes 46.3% (4672)
No 45.7% (4608)
Who's Trahearne? 8% (812)

The fate of Trahearne?

Lives 42.6% (5144)
Dies	 57.4% (6930)

I predicted Trahearne’s death a year ago from seeing the writers’ reaction in the Point’s of Interests show, I could tell they really thought that a VAST VAST VAST majority of the players hated Trahearne, when it’s not true.

Not sure how i feel about a reddit poll(privately owned website editable by peers). Second hand sources compared to gathered ingame data and official forum posts tend to lean more towards a larger majority not liking him overall. Im not discrediting your poll, I just dont see as much weight behind it compared to official forums and insider data gathered by Anet is all. its a total of 9000 opinions out of millions. The sample size is really to small be an accurate account I think (not that any real PUBLIC knowledge exists to begin with on it anyways). I still stand by my statement that a vast majority dont like him. I doubt Anet has made a major storyaltering decision based on a vocal 20-35 poeple on a forum tho.

Unless you can back up your “VAST VAST VAST” with actual fact and source then you don’t have much weight behind yours either.
And your the same person that just wanted his sword. Which by the way, never belonged to you in the first place and was given by the pale tree first to Riannoc to help him with his wyld hunt against the litch.
Which was subsequently stolen by his lil human partner after he died and was lost to the sylvari. When she was given it back she gifted it to Trahearne to help him cleanse Orr, which was his wyld hunt. It was never intended for you, in the sylvari ps your job was to find it for her, use it against the undead issue with said litch and then return it.

The weight of my info comes from Anets decision to go this route,they wouldnt be doing it if they didnt feel it needed to be done.
Yes I want the sword, I did the work to obtain it, I should at least be rewarded with a skin for it.

Suuuure it does.
Anyways, your probably not going to be getting the full greatsword considering all they gave us was a crappy looking one hander. The full things smashed by Mordy,I don’t believe it’s going to be coming back anytime soon with how the pale tree was looking.
(Or with how long Anets going to take to even get to that point judging by the release schedule…sadly)

So ArenaNet listened to all the whiners who needed to be commanders and gods and whatever, and killed Trehearne… awesome. You made it clap clap … clap

And without consulting the commander like he used to, he sent the Pact Fleet into the Maguuma jungle to be slaughtered.

Sorry,but I just can’t help but not laugh at that moment. It’s all like…

Lol, I’ve tried both DH builds and I could barely do much with it.
I think I just suck at guardians in general.

With that killing mood everywhere, why just not killing every main character in entire game? Everyone should be satisfied then. -_-

Character purge would be nice. Pretty much all characters except Rytlock are meh. Even Player Character is meh now thanks to one locked personality we ended up with.

Tbh I find Rytlock the most meh, yay opinions.

Don’t you just love it when we go spouting off opinions as facts.

I could totally see Primordus tieing into a update/Expack where we go to the dominion of winds and get Tengu as a race. (Anet Please)
But Jormag/Kralky seem the most likely to be next. And Krakly could tie into Elona/Palawa Joko.

Revenants need the evade because it keeps them from getting killed while doing the ability since it locks you in a long chain. It was asked for during the betas and I highly doubt the devs are going to nerf that since they agreed with them.

Can we like, not kill off anymore characters because of forums bs.
It just ruins the story as shown by both of these deaths.

At this point lets just kill off everyone, can’t have characters that appeal to different people. Nope.

~~~~ !!! Congratulations !!! ~~~~

As the owner of the 100.000 DH-flame-thread you get a special present.
A-net will gift you a truckload of [Packet of salt] and you are allowed to do the balancing for one DH skill/trait for the next balance patch.

Because we are currently in “DH-hate-week” you will get a addition gift.
We are proud to hand you a coupon for a one week cruise on the M.S. Cry me a river.

congrats on being the millionth childish guardian to try to defend the most drastically overrewarding spec in the game because even with scrapper being more overpowered, at least it’s not totally playable by a wood log.

grow up

^I think he wants a trip on the M.S Cry Me a River.
Free food included and a 50% chance to not walk the plank.

Funfact: Berserker warriors keep the torch fire field when moa’d.
So you get a giant flaming Moa chasing after you.

Ithilwen.1529:

Here’s a couple of quick screen grabs. (less than perfect lighting, I’m no photographer) The Golden Glider being modeled by a Charr Vigil Crusader. The Asura nearby is daring him to jump This is by the “On Golden Wings” Adventure.

For the record, that’s a female. But I could totally see that coming from the backpack.

No,but I do take solace in the fact that he’s shown as the hero and the one who sacrificed himself to stop Mordy. So, basically the haters made him the hero of the story and of Tyria.
Oh, and that they gave us a crappy looking one hander sword instead of the shiny great sword. No caladbolg for you. :P

But I would be highly amused if Trahearne is the next Revenant legend for greatswords.

The only good solution is to just add in a toggle. Everyone wins.

Just saying,but I could easily say fake stuff and call it leaked also.

Note: Op edited title after I replied. But I suppose it could work but PvEs gotta be considered a bit.

I would love a full Solo Que back also.
Atm I’m just waiting for ranked to get unlocked so there’s less premades in unranked.

I’ve seen a lot of people going after DS and Tarir metas lately.
I believe more people are just spread out at the moment working on certain goals that they are going for. Ala tyria masteries, halloween end, crafting etc…
Or they are just not paying attention to map chat/have it turned off.

Tbh I find staff much better then hammer for Heralds.
Sure, hammer has higher damage but staff gives you the utility to survive getting focused on.

Was hoping for idle chatter also, but hey at least we have a tsundere Shiro.

Hmm…just off the top of my head:
-Pet A.I fixed.
-Bugs fixed.
-Pets can now keep their names.
-Sword chain skills now allow you to dodge.
-SB/Axe/Torch/Warhorn/Maybe GS buffed.
-New parrot, phoenix and gryphon pets.(Anet Please)
-Spirit buffs.
-Druid fixes in you know where.

arent the white mantle in charge of the bandits? And ugh not again, their religious crap got old in GW1 after i did that campaign, i was tired of it mid way through, obliterating them in the battle of lions arch in the extended EOTN was the best mission in that game!

I didn’t know you spoke for everyone.

Never said i did, youll notice i spoke specifically for myself. “I was tired” I Not everyone, I.

The OP spoke for everyone though, “everyones favorate insane religious fanatic cult”

they arent my favorite, not even close.

Sorry,but it came off that way when I read it. I understand that you don’t like them but there are a lot who do like them and want to see them and especially the Mursaat return.

Which might actually happen with possible white mantle lead bandits in the raid,but its not entirely known yet.

Dude, was it from a chest?

Aveneo.2068:

I expected him to look more alien and closer to the original concept art. I didn’t expect him to be changed into a generic chinese dragon with a single bramble vine wrapped around his body…

Right now he’s kinda a chubby drake with arms and legs. But I don’t mind the mouth that much.

You guys are crazy. UA has so many counter plays it’s ridiculous
If you’re a Mesmer you have clones and the damage is instantly 1/3 or less. Or you could stealth, or pop a distortion, or even dodge and eat a little bit
Engi stealth or spawn gyro to cut damage in half and dodge once – most damage mitigated
Teef stealth or interrupt with pistol 4
Ranger pet – damage is halved combined with 1 dodge mitigates most damage
Ele shocking aura interrupts – mist form or burning speed and a dodge
Warrior, infinite dodges or endure?? GS 3 and 1 dodge?? Shield block?
Do I really have to go on? UA is literally 90% of a revs entire weapon set pressure and is stupid easy to avoid

Thanks for bringing this up. I can’t stand how big the l2p issue is here with some few people.

Rofl, with the exception of shocking aura, all he offered was “Dodge, block, invuln, or tank it”. Other than that, stealth doesn’t break a channeled attack, and you can’t “interrupt with pistol 4” since you can’t hit an evading target.

So yeah, certainly a l2p issue -_-u

You can interrupt with pistol 4 or stealth when they do the animation for it. I’ve been interrupted before due to the intro animation on my Rev.

A lot of people are running Glint/Shiro atm because it is the only viable thing they have.
Going other legends or weps just gets you killed easily right now.

I’ve only really found Berseker useful with this condi build so far:
http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Warrior_-_Tanky_Condi_Berserker

I tried it, there was a “HOLY COW THIS IS THE MOST OP STUFF EVER” followed by the cold, harsh reality. Yes, it is a formidable amount of conditions, especially if you interrupt, IF IT ACTUALLY HIT.

-If you miss Headbutt (which is at least 8/10 of the times), you are kittened for the next 20 seconds, unless you chase around with no swiftness like an old grandpa with crutches trying to gain some adrenaline.

-You miss the RIDICULOUSLY TELEGRAPHED AND SLOW Skull Grinder, you’re kittened again.

Overall if you hit stuff, you will exceed. But personally, no matter how much attention I put into reading my opponents, the spec works 1/6 times.

A high risk, low reward spec.

But hey, what do I know, maybe I’m just bad.

Lol, I agree. But it can be fun to mess around with in hotjoin.
But if you do manage to hit it is nice against Revenants.

Must be one heck of a story.

Yes mace conditions is the only broken thing about Berserker at the moment but I’ve only seen 1 person do it.

I wouldn’t say broken considering that build is easily counterable and berserker sucks with anything else.

Try to force the DH to come to you, and if it teles be ready to dodge away from it and keep kiting. (Especially if your ranged).
Stability, stealth, invuln, maybe block. That sort of stuff helps also.

Revs number 3 and walls do not mix.
Also block/stealth/dodge/invuln work.

So, after mulling over the story for a bit after fully finishing it. (That end fight, nyeh…)
-I liked the story in general,and am looking forward to season 3.
-Still annoyed about the way Trahearne/Faolain were handled.
-Malyck/his tree is still a thing I want to know about.
-Eir was predictable.
-Please don’t kill off any more characters because of forum complaining.
It just hinders the story.

Agreed Op, I’m also one of those people who’s only 80 was a Ranger. I have a Revenant now to and thats great. I dearly love my Ranger but its tiring being the bad class of the community.
Lol, when the game was new I actually avoided dungeons/fractals like the plague. Didn’t want to deal with crappy people because of the class I choose. I don’t really care anymore,but still.

Ele and Guardian are strong and yet I suck at playing them.
It really depends on what class you work the best with and like.

Tbh those “commanders” who are harassing people with mentor tags are the real problem.
Would be interesting if those people got there precious tag revoked if reported enough.

Our shinyness will blot out the sun!
Now only if that legendary wep effect glitch was still around…

To summarize this thread, Op wants Ranger nerfs due to the fact he/she refuses to learn how to counter rapid fire of all things.
Guess its the in thing now to complain until a dev kneejerks a nerf to it. Seems to be working regardless…

Not OP but I do not have a problem with Ranger damage and am just here to post facts.

Rangers are already bad enough in other modes for years now, gotta nerf them in PvP too to keep with the status. Even though we are barely in the meta as it is with few viable builds. Not even considering our bad pet A.I and multiple bugs. And have been getting continuous nerfs since release.
But nope, gotta keep nerfing till we are dead and gone as a class.
Lol, lets not even get into how the community views Rangers as a whole. Bearbow much..

Then Anet needs to address pet AI. Not add damage to pet or weapon skill to cover their laziness.

Thats the thing, rangers have been asking them to either fix it or remove the pet since release. And with how everything is right now I highly doubt they are going to start anytime soon. As nice as it would be.

Then of course if they do fix it and it actually works you bet theres going to many people wanting it nerfed back.

Lol, it if gets nerfed because of this. Might as well just delete the Ranger class.

That would be awesome.

Coming from someone who has mained Ranger for 3 years now, don’t main it.
Play it as a alt or something,sure.
But it is not worth it atm, play a Ele/Rev/Guardian. Maybe even necro/mesmer.

Major spoilers for the story of Heart of Thorns. Tread carefully!

hide spoiler

Trahearne isn’t popular, I know, but I’m curious as to whether anyone else thinks he deserved a better end than the one he got.

I like him, so I’m definitely biased. But even if the writers did plan to kill him off, I feel like it would have been a more meaningful death if they’d waited.

In the Personal Story, it seemed like they were building him up to be the commander’s partner, rather than mentor or superior. Surviving Claw Island, forming the Pact, cleansing Orr: they did that together. And it was implied at the end of the Personal Story that they’d hunt down the rest of the dragons together, too. Did that come across perfectly? Maybe not. But if they had taken more time to develop and grow his character, his death would have had more weight to it.

(I mean, I’d rather he didn’t have to die at all. But like I said: I’m biased. XD)

As it is now, it’s kind of a “oh, that guy we haven’t really seen for two seasons/three years is dead. Dang.” And that sucks, because I feel like he had the potential to become much more interesting, and all that potential is wasted now.

I don’t know. Does anyone else feel like this?

Major REPLY to spoilers for the story of Heart of Thorns. Tread carefully!

hide spoiler

Of course he deserved to die exactly the way he did. In fact, maybe less ‘sacrificial lamb’ as he went. I’m sick of him being a spotlight stealing glory hog who took credit for Zhaitan, took credit for the Pact grouping, and even too credit for setting up everything in SW after the whole DryTop affair. Heck, I’m sure somewhere down the line he probably tried taking credit for killing Scarlett and saving Lion’s Arch.

If anyone deserved a better death and more honorable ending, it would have ben Eir. She did not deserve to die just scrounging an escape from a prison that she was only in because the Sylvari betrayed everyone in the airship raid. Weakened and caged with the criminal Foulin before a miserable death. Just wrong.
