Moa Bird Balance (Mesmer Elite)

in PvP

The Moa elite is interesting on paper, but fails when it comes to implementation.
Someone obviously wanted the Moa to fight back – it has skills right!? – but it’s just too clunky to be used. I always dodge away immediately when I’m Moa’d. If I got more toughness and could attack while moving with it, then I might stick around. But I guess the mesmer wouldn’t be interesting in that, now would he?

So all in all, it’s pretty fail.

Ps. I’ve only died once in Moa form. Dodging away works fine.

I disagree.
If the boss is too easy, well then it’s easy to just ninja the boss.

I can solo Svarnir without any problems – pretty fast too.
If I know that no one is nearby, then obviously I go for the kill, which shouldn’t be possible in my book.

I can’t help but imagine these bosses were inspired by LoL. The baron comes to mind (teamwide buff); something that is a team effort to kill. So I think it should be a team effort here too. Something that could give the losing team an edge if they were to focus on the task.

I don’t like the “herp de rp 25 easy points de rp”, and I think I made that clear just about now.

Ps. Why is “d e r p” censored? Thats ridiculous.

Scoring system certainly is a joke at the moment.

My opinion on the problems with the current system (wont supply many solutions; that is the responsibility of the devs):

  • 8 people capping/uncapping the same point -_-
  • No incentive for being the lone defender on a point. If no enemy shows up, your score just ends up being abysmal.
  • In fact, there is no reward for defending anything what so ever.
  • Rewards for reviving (if there is any), should be more obviously and give quite a bit of points. Lost many games because no one bothers reviving.
  • The boss mobs should be a team effort, not something 1 or 2 people can easily do.
  • Scoring should be more team oriented, instead of individual-oriented.

No lol. They are available when I pick them again but I have to fill in the blanks every time I rejoin the mists.

Have the same problem.

Can't join a friend's personal story

I get no dialogue popup that allows me to join in with him, so he can only enter alone.
I’ve noticed this happens a lot in the early Norn story missions. Some HAVE worked, but it’s been pretty sparse in the early stories.

They worked in the betas, ironically enough.

EDIT
When you find an instance you can get into, many cutscenes and dialogue choices are not shown.

EDIT2
Might still be related to the party-server not working properly.
Can’t see my friend’s dot on the map, and he shows up as level 0. This is in the non-overflow zone of Wayfarer foothills

Err, i’ve seen very very good Eles in PvP.
The kind that are impossible to kill and hit like a truck. And I’m no slouch at pvp myself.

And have you checked youtube for videos of good eles? I’m sure they exist, people love to brag.

Sound bug, Npc Voices

I always thought this was some kind of feature, you know, to let the player know something is going on.
However it seems kinda stupid, and yes, breaks immersion.

Noticed this too. Even GW1 did it.

GW2 sound issue with Creative X-fi?

Creative sound cards have, as long as I can remember, had shoddy drivers. No amount of updating them will fix bad programming by bad programmers.

Realtek sound might not be fancy and feature rich, but it always works.

BUG: Mobs and players suddenly "appearing" (pop-in)

If this was done to increase performance, please introduce a slider in the preferences were we can set to higher values if we so desire. Many have high-end machines that are well capaple of handling huge amount of players.

It not an issue of client side performance. It’s server performance. Servers doesn’t have infinite cpu power.

I’m pretty sure what you are seeing is a feature. Not a feature made to please us, but a feature made to remove strain from the servers.

Remember, the server has to tell each player where every other player is. A formidable task if the “player view distance” is far. So I’m guessing that when an area is overloaded, the server turns our “player view distance”-knob all the way down – to save bandwidth and cpu time.

Ps. I don’t like it either. It’s not very immersive, and I’m hoping they can optimize it so we can get a better view distance.

Also ate all of my gold. More like 95% of it.
I had about 1 gold 20 silver. Now I have 6 silver, with nothing to show for it: Meaning no buy orders that I could at least cancel.
