It’s a stupid idea and not a solution to anything. People farming is fine as long as the farming isn’t making the gameplay for others worse, like failing events on purpose. People get bored of farming and will go back to playing the game as intended.
In the update coming the 17th we get Tequatl Rising which gives us a reworked Tequatl fight, world bosses got stronger, the looking for group tool and some new stuff to wvwvw. A great update with needed changes and additions!
Now when there’s 4 teams working on one update each they have 8 weeks (2 months) to work on content to be released. I think the content in this update is a little bit weak, could have been more. Maybe there’s a reason for this or am i overestimating ArenaNet?
They estimated the time to get exotic would take more time, a few months but was more easily obtained than they thought.
Does that mean that they expected us to take months to get to level 80? Because we were meant to have BiS by level 80.
Now we weren’t supposed to have exotic once we hit level 80. Whoever said that lied or got the wrong information. Everyone at lvl 80 should be able to get the best stat gear without having to do stuff they don’t, is more like it. You can run dungeons, buy from TP, Craft. You got options.
Ascended is what exotic was supposed to be at launch. There isn’t going to be anything beyond Ascended. Except Legendaries, which only is for the looks and not power/stats.
With GW2, ArenaNet’s had a nasty habit of claiming “We always meant it to be this way”. They cannot ever be believed in that respect, frankly.
They estimated the time to get exotic would take more time, a few months but was more easily obtained than they thought. They should have tested this in beta, before launch and they did, however at that time dungeons and mobs in GW2 were much more difficult and the game got nerfed because of player whine.

Ok, this thread turned into a nightmare. I didn’t make this thread so you could talk about crafting the ascended weapons. I started this thread so you could tell ArenaNet how much copy pasta they are. Christmas weapon skins 2.0
Can’t say I’m into the idea of a “transmutation splitter”, whatever that supposed to be. Why can’t they just implement a wardrobe into the bank tab, like the one in the Mists. If they’re still that into the idea of having t-stones, then maybe you can use them to switch out skins.
I just don’t understand why a cosmetic feature that works so efficiently in PvP isn’t being considered to make life better in PvE.
Wait a few weeks and we will have a PvE locker like the one in PvP. They are just milking the transmutation splitter until they release the PvE locker.
Axe/Axe for Warrior isn’t exactly the most fun weapon combination.
I agree. If I ever go back to my Warrior, It’ll be for the hammer. There’s so much awesomeness in that weapon.
Yes hammer is good in PvP and against thrash and veteran mobs in PvE. Against bosses hammer is pretty much useless as CC only affect bosses every X-XX hit depending on how many allies are near the boss.
Ascended weapons look like they came out of santa’s workshop. They would be great for next christmas event, but as ascended weapons i expected more than that. At least we got upgraded christmas weapon skins.
Also want to thank you for improving the world bosses in Tyria, Tequatl for example, as seen in one of your pictures on facebook. Good decision.
I don’t know how much they are improved though, but hopefully a lot of improvement.
Some classes have really few combo fields and combo finishers. They should make more skills with combo fields and combo finishers to make combat more interesting and also release new skills and traits and weapons for each class.
GW2 endgame is zerging. You zerg everywhere, zerg wvw, zerg open world, zerg here, zerg there. Can you revamp the content and make the game zergless?
I don’t think people want to mindless zerg. I assume we want strategy to be a big part of the gameplay…or wasn’t that the intention of GW2 combat?
I just read your last comment, for a second I was having a deja vu
ok, i’ll the same comment then:
If they are going to be like the zerg/zerks we have today, then what’s the point?
Unless they somehow force guilds to formations and strategy using a variety of gear and builds, then I see no point in doing it. We already have content to zerg/zerk
It’s not going to be the typical wvw or farming zerg. If they add a lot of different objectives to the raiding instance, all objectives being important the raid will spread out and have to complete different objectives in order to progress further in the raid and at some point defeat the raid encounter.
Objectives could be, for example
A. Stop the naval fleet of the risen at the sea
B. Protect the supply caravans
C. Build cannon, turrets, ballistas
D. Protect the megalaser from being destroyed
E. Slow the main army of undead from reaching point X
F: Collect X to load up the megalaser with more energy
G: Defeat undead dragons in the sky to reduce the danger from above
H: Protect the engineers underground while they plant the bombs to blow up the cave and stop undead from getting into your “base”
etc
But the combat dynamic will still be a zerg/zerk. That is very similar to what guild missions are now. I’d really love to see content where 12-24 or 30 players have to work together in a tight formation rather than just run, zerk, run again.
In Guild Missions everyone are doing the same objective, for the most. What i just described here is a lot of different objectives you have to do at the same time or close to the same time, so you will have to spread out. This is just an example, they may do more time-based objectives as well, so you would need better coordination with your party etc.
Unless this content is instanced, this will be no different than the zerg fests today and no different than the guild missions. Just different things to do.
Snore.
Would need to be instanced to avoid zerging, and like someone said, it needs to encourage strategy, communication, build diversity rather than 20 people running zerker or knights gear.
I have little faith
Yes, of course it will be instanced. There’s no way to do raiding in an open zone, it would just be bad and laggy.

I think Zhaitan never died at the end of the Personal Story, you can’t just kill an Elder Dragon with a few cannon.
Most likely ArenaNet will reveal something like raiding at PAX, they have said they are working on something like raiding a few weeks ago.
It would make sense to release raid content for bigger bosses, especially with this Living Story, they are going to have some huge kitten bosses along the way and raiding fits perfectly. A huge battlefield for Zhaitan with a lot of different objectives, on ground, in the air, underground, on the water.
Raiding in GW2 could be really interesting, if you look at it with a perspective from Dynamic Events and how much variety they have with objectives etc.
(My other thread got deleted because i forgot spoiler code, so getting it up again with spoiler.)
This build of yours doesn’t work. It’s a tank with no damage, and a bunker with no survivability. Vampire builds work much better than this, and that’s to say not at all.
Not to be mean, but this simply doesn’t work. The meta is based on Conditionmancery because that’s all anyone sees Necromancer as due to the overbuff. I’ve already tried shaking up the meta with builds that worked alot better than this one, you saw how that ended up.
A few hundred people liked my builds, and that was it. Certainly not enough to change the meta since all of the ‘pros’ that define the meta stuck with their crappy conditionmancers.
I hope you do change the meta, Xom. Though you won’t this way.
1. 20, Male
2. Guild Wars 2 since beta, so about 1 year.
3. Sylvari Warrior, the story is about The Shield of the Moon, he’s ferocious and a warrior of the Vigil. I like that Sylvari are noble and one with nature, it makes them unique and make them easy to roleplay as something i would like to be in real life or already am.
4. To join a party in a dungeon, WvWvW and farm content.
5. His armour and masculine body, also his way with the ladies, being a gentleman but at the same time a “player”, being tough and not caring about small things that can easily be annoying.
6. I would like to build things in my home instance, collect trophies of my battles with my enemies and the journey i’ve done and the journeys to come and also have parties in my home instance with a lot of ladies and a bed of gold and blue crystals. I want to be able to create my own story in the game by giving us the tools we need to create it within our minds.
You can melee lupicus very fast if you use the correct abilities to keep your health or block/reflect his projectiles. The problem is everyone going full zerk, not the encounter.
Zerker is an ‘all offensive’ stat combination. There is no ‘all defensive’ stat combination.
Unfortunately simply removing zerker from the game in an attempt to fix the issue will not work. With zerker gone, knights would just take over as the new must have.
If mobs and bosses get new mechanics and new AI and new skills they will be tougher and more difficult, then a raid of full zerkers won’t do so well and they are forced to mix other builds into their party. The encounters are the problem, not the stats.
Can you add a rate function to the forums and let us rate threads that are popular and propose good suggestions for GW2. Put all high rated suggestions in it’s own sub-forum and make it easier for yourself and also for players to see all the good suggestions.
Cursed Shore in Orr. Follow the train, fail the event beyond the tunnel,do the two escort events to spawn like 5-6 champions for each of the events. Usually the event beyond the tunnel doesn’t fail because someone stand in it. (forgot what the wp is called)
I asked me guild today if they wanted to join for AC explo and ofc someone later on sees i’m only lvl 47 and whines i could swap to my lvl 47 before last boss to get xp to level up and also added that “so you want us to carry you” which is a term used for players being underpowered for the content and are getting run through it by high level players. (mostly for the stats on your armour, exotics etc)
I don’t like that behaviour, especially if you play with your guildmates and you’re the one who started the party. Appereantly we have some elitists in our guild and i told them they could leave the party if they didn’t like it and also leave the guild. (I had no idea we had such players in our guild and most of the elitists in our guild play for themselves anyway and start their own parties, they don’t demand from the leader of the party).
The difference between a lvl 47 and a 80 isn’t that big difference, it’s only the exotic gear that’s the difference and everything else is up to how skilled you are as a player. You get downscaled to 35 anyway so only the stats from exotics make a difference.
When we got further in someone wrote “lvl 47 necro isn’t so bad after all”. That’s what i said, levels don’t make such a huge difference unless you’re a noob. I hope they learned something.
I can understand people want that special build for fractals or arah, they can be really tough and most people don’t want to spend 2-3 hours in dungeon when you can do it in 40 minutes.
Play necro, then. Nothing you can do about the elites anyway. Besides, flesh golem is not that bad in PvE, and plague is one of most powerful elites in WvW.
Flesh golem isn’t useable underwater, which is really stupid decision by ArenaNet. A full MM build isn’t possible underwater for some reason. There’s a lot of restriction and faults in the skillsystem and traitsystem in GW2.
But people like you just go along with it “it’s fine, nothing to do about it..”
Great spirit. What games did you play before GW2?
Why would he play a warrior when he want to play necromancer?
Tired of ignorant comments like these.
Improve all classes instead, give new ideas for new skills and traits. Problem is solved until ArenaNet do something about it.

As a Guardian use you’re F1-F3 abilities and there’s a few healing skills + stability for Guardian. You can also swap weapon set in combat.
As an elementalist you can do pretty much anything, depending on your situation swap F1-F4 a lot, attunements do different things like healing, CC,hard damage,movement.
Also turn off autotarget for skills that can leap or make you go forward, if you do you can click the ground or esc and use those skills to get away from mobs.
