Guild Wars 2

Judging by how this thread is going, and with the recent Dev track record with Ranger/Druid nerfs.
Be prepared for some sort of nerf to it. Would love to not have it happen, but I don’t have high expectations atm.

Of course there’s one going after healing also,but that seems less likely due to PVE.

If they just made it so that Brahams shield actually worked for you during the air phase.
It would help a lot, especially when the gliding lags.

As long as you have the option to disable it, sure.

There we go…

Told you people Ancient Seeds would be next, Lol.

Can’t have good Druid traits now. Nope.
Lingering Lights already been put into the pile with the other useless traits.

It’s funny. Druid was created as a healing / support spec, and subsequently nerfed out of being able to be a healing / support spec.

This…is why the zerker meta exists. Anet has no idea how to actually balance the game.

Sure they do.

If the pvp crowd complains, it needs nerfing.

Thus, balance.

Basically.

I agree with you Op.

Tbh if healing gets nerfed theres going to be another revolution in the Ranger forums.

The pvp forum complaining about bunker druid with Minstrel amulet is what got this nerfed.
Yet another reason for stuff being divided between PvE/PvP.

Irenio CalmonHuang.2048:

Going to be investigating this. It may require some change to Smoke Assault, since the active skills are intended to be a little stronger than the passive skills.

Tbh the smoke cloud already is stronger then assault. But thanks for looking into it.

What are you talking about? Mordremoth so totally has a mouth. You even fight against it.

Also, I wouldn’t call the skies above Arah “confined”. (lots of stuff wrong with that fight, but scale was not one of those things)

I’ll rephrase since you;re right. The direct interaction is confined since you are involved only on the final cannon phase.

I have seen no mouth or body at all in the story. Is that part of the map meta I hear about? I’ve seen no one doing it yet so I haven’t been a part of that.

You actually see its face multiple times in the final fight/cutscenes.
It’s like a shadowy version of it.

Ranger actually had a strong build, you know the devs can’t have that.
Expect Ancient Seeds and healing to be nerfed next.

Removed Minstrel Amulet. Anyone who has purchased this amulet will be refunded their gold.

I was going to say, they better refund me my gold. Since I bought it to test around with in different builds.
Although, druid builds are just going to go celestial/cleric now. Since that actually was the option Rangers had picked out first, then they added minstrel.

But about the final fight, I liked the idea of it. But it was extremely annoying to complete between the bugs and the gliding lagging up on you. I finally had to do it with a group to get it done.

Fun fact: Trahearne never actually stole peoples credit, he actually congratulates you multiple times in the story. And whats wrong with him keeping the sword? He needed it to cleanse Orr and it was a gift.
Just one instance:
“The world owes you a great debt, Commander. As long as I am Marshal of the Pact, I will see that debt honored.”
“My only regret is that I was not there to see Zhaitan fall. But I shall look forward to the skaalds celebrating your triumph.”
“Congratulations, Commander. We’ve earned the right to set down our burdens for a time and celebrate.”
And of course the entire time to him there are multiple npcs cheering,saluting and congratulating you on your victory.
I seriously don’t get the hate.

I want it removed mostly for an enjoyment reason. It is not okay to ruin the game mode because someone wanted to play extrememly tanky. I am not talking about ESL or anything. I am talking about regular games played by new players or advanced players who wants to play casually. Those players are needed for an healthy game: Minstrel amulet will only be good at pushing them out.

I am a somewhat high mmr player. Personnally, it just sucks the fun out of the game when some guy decided by selecting one amulet that they will not die.

Just imagine this new guy who is not a complete newbie to the genre. He (or she) thought that maybe he could try out this game he heard about called Guild Wars 2. He sees a couple of minstrels users after a few games of climbing up the MMR, is bored to death and just uninstall. Minstrel is a very dangerous amulet. Well, not to your mesmer, revenant, elementalist… Minstrel is dangerous to the players.

I edited my message to pass a more constructive point. Yes, I was kittened off because I just played against one. We did not lose, but it was boring. And, what do we do about boring games?…

I am an extremely high mmr player on team Radioactive where I actively played in 50 or so ESLs multiple tournaments, etc.

When it comes right down to it, your argument is “it is not fun to play against”, but you forget to consider the fact that it Is fun to play a minstrel build. Saying “it’s very dangerous to new players” is the dumbest thing I’ve heard because new players hate dying, I think they would Much rather face something that can’t kill them rather than get one shot by a DH, Rampage War, hammer rev, etc.

Also, if someone wants to make a build that is specifically for tanking and healing allies that should be allowed and encouraged so comps can exist with high damage roles backed up by support rather than 5 bruisers running around spamming all of their skills.

I hope you realize that you do Not speak for new players, that everyone has their individual likes and dislikes, when it comes right down to it, you Personally had a bad experience fighting a minstrel build and not being able to kill it (probably for 10 min on a point capped in the minstrel guy’s favor like a kitten). You had a weak argument as to why you PERSONALLY think it should be taken out of pvp and tried to speak for the new people coming into this game to achieve your own ends.

I personally think that the minstrel build is very balanced specifically because it can’t kill anyone and shouldn’t be able to, that is the drawback, that is why it is impossible to run more than 2 (which is pushing it) in an actual comp.

Now, to leave with some dignity, please go and edit your post by deleting anything involving anyone other than yourself and add “in my own opinion, I think minstrel amulet should be deleted because I couldn’t 1v1 it” not garbage like “new players are quitting the game because of minstrel amulet, oh and here’s my published data and findings concerning it”.

You, I like you.

Shiros another big offender, seriously Shiro…
Would love to have more dialogue with them though.

Jokes on them, the swords one handed instead of a greatsword. :P
But Canach is great though, and I agree about Trahearne. (Even if I like Caithe)

I’m pretty sure thats it’s body considering you see it both in the load screen concept arts and you also see a shadowy version of its face in the instance.
The pact meta event is also referenced when he says armies can’t beat him and Canach mentions he is distracted.

Had some rifts form where platforms broke off and you have to get really lucky to get the updrafts to work for you. And of course everything the others said.
Please fix it.

Thing is I don’t want them to nerf shiro/glint so there on the same level as jalis/mallyx.
I want jails/mallyx to be brought up to that level.

I would rather have courtyard then skyhammer…

But seriously though, I really want to see what happened with Malyck/his tree.

I can see why they nerfed staff 5, considering I could take people from half to downstate with it sometimes in pvp lol. But of course you had to line it up good to even get all the hits with it.
But I’m a bit iffy with the shield 5/heal nerf with all the CC/damage in the game.

Could you imagine the server communities colliding.

I jump and /dance while I wait for a match to start.
I must scare quite a lot of PvPers.

The staff is actually really nice for PvP. But I can see what you mean if your talking other game modes.

Clearly we need to bring in the dancing moas. Someone go grab that magician.

I agree with you as well on that Ginora, I liked him also.

Please change it back!

Spoiler
Just a few points:
-Really loved the story in general, and I can’t wait for the Season 3. It was also nice hearing my voice again.
-The Norn Savage was the best.
-I liked the Sylvari version of the story, but of course there could have been more Mordremoth. :P
-Braham looks really wierd bald. I get why, but still.
-And rip Trahearne/Eir/Faolain/Etc..

But I am also hoping that the Season 3 fleshes out more of the plot lines from the ps. It would also be nice to see what happened with Malyck.

But hey, at least we didn’t push 2 for shiny fireworks to win.
Going to miss Traehearn though. Rip salad man.

It’s from the Ascent to Madness dungeon. You can find the portal to it in LA.

Well, thanks for the reply anyways Ashen. Hopefully it gets found eventually lol.

Anyone know where you can find this skin at yet?
I would love to get it on my Revenant. It’s a really nice sword.

Thank you Anet!

I’m still playing my Ranger for the story while I work on my Rev at the moment.
But I’ll probably be switching to Rev for most things until they fix Druid/etc.

Dude, its Ranger. Expect a fast nerf monday and no sort of fix till a few months down the line. :P
(/sarcasm)

Went Human female, since I actually never made a serious human character lol.

From what I heard something messed up in it and that it needed to be fixed.
Same with Reapers Rumble.

Sad to see him die, rip.

I believe that is called stalking and harassment Op.
Can you not.

Thanks for the expansion, and I’m really enjoying the story.

I enjoyed the beta Druid much more tbh.

Sadly I have to agree as well.
I just want to experience and focus on the story without being interrupted constantly.

I still love that song. Great theme for Gw2.

You still should probably remove the link.

I’ve heard that those sites like to be fed money for reviews. I don’t give them much credit.

Eh, it’s midnight for me. I can deal with that.
