https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daredevil_%28Marvel_Comics%29

LOl i laugh everytime i see the marvel charcter refrence . . .like people never have heard the term dare devil in their life.

It’s an actual word in the dictionary:
Daredevil – a reckless person who enjoys doing dangerous things.

I got mine during the one day sale, and tons of people were wearing them for a few weeks.

I’m really liking that they added these, makes people feel rewarded for not always just getting the burst kill

Radakill.3469:

I just don’t get why people feel they should be given everything for free for forever.
It was never promised, nor implied, not stated that everything would be free forever and for all time.

I think your reading too much into this.

No one is saying everything should be free forever.

However, when you say something will be free, with no strings, you should keep your word.

Ill say this again, I dont mind paying for fees, subs, box costs or even services, as long as its up front, and no strings. I feel the same way about my bank, they start adding crap on my statement when they did not explicitly list those charges up front, or they hide them in miles of tiny disclaimers, that I have a problem with. And I dont care if its 25 cents or 50 bucks, I have a problem with it either way.

Pretty sure during LS2 , they sent out emails stating that you can log in for the next 2 weeks to earn the episode for free.

They didn’t hide anything, you’re just whining.

I paid for it all too, but i completely understand that it’s my fault for not logging in(or playing for that matter since i hadnt played for like 2 years lol)

Ya the arms tree give you 100% crit chance for your burst skills, no percision needed

Anyone else feel like this was a bad attempt at a troll post?

Maybe if you guys spent less time complaining on the forum and more time actually playing the game, it wouldnt be so hard for you.

needs more utilities

Stace.1357:

Another guild wars veteran has left the building….

And another two have returned to play. lol

Dream on.

My wife and i came back a few months ago, saw on forum someone was “leaving”

pretty much spot on with what Vayne said :p

No, i hope they take as long as they need.

Better to not rush it and have it come out just for people to make threads complaining how "rushed"and “unfinished” it is and then saying they are “leaving”. people wanting the expac out now are the same ones that’ll leave the game after a month anyways.

TAKE YOUR TIME ANET, LETS HAVE A GREAT FINISHED PRODUCT

mesmers arn;t that strong, people just don’t know how to counter them.

sick of people just dying to classes and saying they need to be nerfed . . no you need to get better(and no i dont play a mesmer at all)

I could be wrong but pretty sure you get consumables that are account bound for the bag slots.

and the dyes should be tradeable after you open it.(but don’t quote me on this stuff lol)

Saying gw2 is hard is like people complaining about having to use stairs and they should add escalators instead.(for one flight of stairs may i add)

Stairs are healthy for us, we dont wanna get lazy guys.

If you play the game actively it’ll be free, coming in 3 years later, its understandable some things cost some gems.

If you plan to stick with gw2 from now on, everything in the game will be free for you(except for expansions, ect.)

LOL just tried this while leveling up a key farm char on eotm . . . dont run into a zerg with it lool just loks like your screen is shaking.

Elite specs are alternatives, not upgrades

“The Tribal armor set and other armor sets that were sPvP-exclusive will be obtainable again at some point in the future. There is no ETA as to when this will happen.” – Joey Thompson

To add. Tempest was wearing it during the reveal stream. So. My assumption is HoT is bringing it back.

It’s actually coming back with PvP League rewards. Surely I wasn’t the only player to notice the skin being shown as a reward in the blog post a few weeks ago…

Hmm mind giving a link? Went to see the blog post and didnt saw it show or mentioned

whats wrong with gw2 system? I think its fantastic

its free and account wide, and transmutation charges are easy to come by that you can switch armor skins freely and not worry about being able to.

outfits are free to wear without transmutations also

SwiftXShadow.4236:

Wow thx Xstein

Any chance u would know a detailed version of a necromancer too?
Necro and mesmer are the 2 classes i cant decide on.

make both and go into spvp (you can at level 2), play a bunch of matches(not just one or two) and get a feel for which u prefer.

Try different skills and builds until you think you know which you like more . . .then make the other your alt incase you change your mind later XD

in spvp you have everything unlocked so u can try it out like its max level

I guess I was lucky.

Yes most of you were because you had a more forgiving system, and thanks for adding salt to the wound….

When the new system hit, i had 30 SS, i now have 500ish and i only have done SW like for a few hours here and there for like 2 weeks.

You’re doing it wrong OP

Then your not really needing to spend yours letting them stack up like that because I spend them as fast as I can get them which cost me 20 for every piece of ascended I make.

You may have done SW here and there but surely that’s not all you did? how many scrolls and tomes did you have sitting in the bank also? Because I’m here to tell you I run the kitten out of SW for many long hours several times a week and I don’t think mine add up to that many?

I have like 45 tok in my bank atm, havent used any of them since that patch, i rarely do dailies unless its just by my normal play. i play alot of eotm and pvp.

you can get them from any (champ?)bag, not just from sw. Try just playing noramlly and not grinding for it, you’ll enjoy the game way more and be pleasently surprised how much ss you have.

Ya i’ve planned to run a similar build to the one the op says, this give me reinsurance that it’ll work lol, . . except im more of a slefish healer lool gunna have that tablet on top of me :P

Ya helping my wife do her new sylvari character and all the racial PS(level 10-30) audio isnt there or goes in and out. Mostly its the npcs who dont talk.

How would stomp make sense as a knockback, over a launch? you stomp the ground making a tremor which launches them . . lol just use Kick if u want a knockback

Stomp is awesome and fine as is

Griffith.7238:

So only use it if your enemies have a wall to their backs … tactics. If you want the boon but not the active then legendswap out of the Upkeep.

or launch them into your allies aoes . . . people just gotta be more creative than “all stand in one spot and never move boom boom dead”

The skill looks absolutely awesome and fun.

. . . i mean if you have a huge dragon, you gotta knock around some moose

Maybe Rytlock goes back in time through the mists, and leaves it on our bedside the night before we start our adventure. Then we can just start with it XD

Oh but on a more realistic note, the blindfold for the armor is different than the starting blindfolds. so pretty sure its just a new skin added for HoT, and they are just showing it off with rytlock wearing it. similar to how all of Destiny’s Edge wears cultural armor.

I love thats its a launch. don’t change it(unless u wanna make it a bigger launch)

plus we have jade wind to stun, would be too powerful if they both could.

A launch and a knockback are two different things. A launch is what happens when a Guardian Banishes someone, or you step on a Ranger Spike Trap. A knockback is what happens when you get tapped by a Point Blank Shot. Launches are way worse than a simple knockback.

i know the difference, the tooltip says launch though, launches are the best <3
http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/gw2-revenant-herald-facets1.jpg

o and to the guy above me, knockbacks and launch’s are super fun for pvp and pve, i dont care about getting kicked from a group lol cus i dont play with boring people(and no, i dont go to random zergs and troll with knockbacks, before people start arguing with me, assuming i do)

I love thats its a launch. don’t change it(unless u wanna make it a bigger launch)

plus we have jade wind to stun, would be too powerful if they both could.

You should go to where you get the most exp, instead of just the largest map.(unless its always the same everywhere once tyour 80?)

I know i get tons of exp doing silverwaste, even though its small, its constant events.

just dont tele/swap servers in it for the acheivement

I hope they go back to content every 2 weeks instead of another expansion.

Prefer the game to feel actively growing then just a burst of content then nothing for a long time.

Kidel.2057:

No, I’m saying it is grey. And yeah, of course you also swap to stunbreak, doubleheal and so on. That’s another reason to swap even more often then only when the energy needs it.

What I’m saying is that it’s a bad idea to camp a legend and WAIT for energy.
We have legendswap and 10 skills for a reason. We’re not a 5 skills class.

I know i agreed with you on that, thats why im confused why you keep replying to me in a disagreeing manner :P

Kidel.2057:

I’ve seen many pvp and wvw videos, and in all of them people were swapping pretty often, not on cd, but often. You can never do enough utility skills AND also use weaponskills at the moment if you don’t legendswap.

Your being to black and white about this, theres a gray area. I never said to not weapon swap, i do it frequently. I said for the main reason to weapon swap just for the energy regain is a bad. swapping to use the other heals/utilities is good and that what im saying is good. Not saying doing that isn’t quick, cus it is. I’m referring to why u swapo not how frequent or when, (cus usually its very often)

Kidel.2057:

I’m not talking about survivability here, but about best damage output.
Excluding Herald, there is nothing better then Shiro -> Impossible Odds for 6-9 seconds (6 if you use UA) -> swap to Mallyx -> Embrace the Darkness for 10 seconds -> swap and repeat.

Of course in real fight situations you may want to manage it differently, but it’s not the best theoretical way.

There must be balance in everything. A moderate energy use still has to lead to 0 energy sooner or later to be optimal, so that you have to legendswap to regain it.

If you’re not doing it, then you’re simply not using enough skills compared to your max.

Another example (excluding upkeeps for semplicity) may be (both starting from 100):

• case 1: Enchanted Daggers, Phase Traversal, Jade Winds, Grasping Shadow -> swap -> Unrelenting Assault and 35 energy.
• case 2: Enchanted Daggers, Grasping Shadow, Unrelenting Assault and 40 energy.

In both cases you end up with about the same amount of energy, but in the first case you’re able to use 2 more very expensive skills, that could be replaced by 5 weaponskills.
So you can’t really deny that a wise use of legendswap is better then simply waiting for the stun to break.

Also legendswap on cd is 60% Fury uptime for free. I’m not saying to use it on cd, but saving it is not wiser.

This is even better now that Herald is out, because legendswap can also be used to put down Facets without triggering the cd, and also when you swap to Glint you can slowly regain energy while having 1-2 upkeeps, load boons, then swap to Shiro to burst with Facet of Nature and all the accumulated boons (if you have some boon duration you can stack boons on Glint).

ya i think the people who disagree with you are people who care more about pvp than pve, where highest damage output just doesnt work the same agaisnt humans, and survivability factors in. Legendswap too soon just for energy can get you killed in certain situations.

It does seem more pixelated than the other outfits, like its always on low graphics even when on the highest setting.

just needs more detail to it.

Yea it’s your fault for not playing because you used to play is it my fault for not searching for a new game? was it my fault for not hearing about this game AND deciding to play it?

Is it supposed to magically be someone else’s fault? Their were (bad) ads for it on TV. There was tons of hyping on all the gaming news sites. There are dedicated MMO sites that were talking about it for months, even years before release. There were huge pre-order campaigns at game stores around the world. The fact that the game existed was easy to come by, so why didn’t you? Was there a conspiracy to deny you the joy and wonder that is Guild Wars 2?

Not trying to be a total jerk here, but yes, in as much as it is anyone’s fault, it is definitely your fault.

Sorry I was a game hermit a few years ago. The only conspiracy was I had the best game ever but it shut down and I’m old enough to play this now.

If your just now old enough to play a game rated T(for teens), getting stuff in a virtual world is your least concern. Go out and live life and not worry about missing out on stuff.

Edit: Oh and work hard in school XD

It’s good for escaping when you are going to lose a fight, or by getting back to a point fast to defend it

Cool idea! I’ll think about it a bit and maybe try out some things.

Ya could be added as one of the future utilities you will add to each legend so we can have actual customization wink wink :p

uhm, but that would make our currently equipped legend more visible, so our actions predictable in wvw/pvp

Oh didnt realize he meant just normal dodge, my bad. but how would having more utilities make us more predictable? It would make us less predictable since they wouldnt know our exact skills, before we even use them(like they are now)

But lets not hijack the thread, because our normal dodge having a cool effect, would be awesome

For pvp, I’m going to go cleric with Ventari/Glint

. . atleast at first prolly go something totally different in a month after hot lol

And I suspect you’ll find none of those thrusting-only ones are 1-handed except in fantasy novels .

From spear wiki, “Spears may be used as both a projectile and melee weapons. Spears used primarily for thrusting may be used with either one or two hands and tend to have heavier and sturdier designs than those intended exclusively for throwing.”

Maybe you should read less fantasy books and more history ones :p

Roy Cronacher.1576:

Thanks, I’ll check it out.

wee thank you for responding, really impressed with how active you’ve been.

Hand aura was the first thing i noticed during BWE1, its a really cool feature.

So hopefully you guys get Ventari aura going, centaurs need love too. :p

It’s not arenanet’s fault you didnt buy the game 3 years ago and played it activily

and this is coming from someone who got the game at launch and only played for a month(personal stuff) then hasnt played till about 2 months ago. I’m not complaining about all the skins, sales, and living seasons i missed(just bought LS2). I understand it’s my own fault for not playing.

Kidel.2057:

Lonewolf Kai.3682:

I think you have a bit of a distorted view on how Legends work, and Legendswap as a mechanic, but honestly I don’t feel like arguing with you on this. Ultimately, we’ll just end up agreeing to disagree.

So….. I disagree with you.

Regardless of agreement, I’d very much like to read another point of view.

Even if legendswapping often (but not necessarily on cd) gives more energy throughput (and this is not an opinion, it’s like that, period), it may not be the best or the only strategy.

I was simply replying to this thread with concerns about skill throughput with energy compared to energy-less classes, I wasn’t suggesting the best way to play Revenant.

I think its the people in the middle ground you’re not understanding. People who like to legendswap, just not purely for the energy regain. People wanna switch for the right situations, so they can be ready to counter.

But i didnt find much trouble maintaining energy, and when i was low i did just switch legends . . but that shouldn’t be your main reason to switch

I wasn’t sure if it was a bug, or Ventari just doesnt have one? Or is it so faint i couldnt see it?

Anyone else notice this?

updated from bwe2, still no aura

ninjazombie.2937:

hello

what should i be Selling , Savagaing and using in the mystic forge ?

thank you

items

I feel anyone complaining about gw2 being “hard”, is someone who only intends to play the game for a few months max, even if they got said easiness

you cant, all version now include the expansion, and get the base game for free
