Guild Wars 2

This is the dumbest post in here, really it is. It should be locked.

Well the odds are that the new profession will be called(or even be) OP in the beginning.

I’m not sure about the shrine changes, it makes it sound more like eotm.
Might be completly different but I got that opinion stuck in my head now. :/

Why has there been so many conspiracy theorists active lately?

It’s well known that instead of coding the one loot table for everyone, games developers prefer to spend vast amounts of time making fiendishly complicated systems so that some of their players get better stuff than others. Accounts of this are always supported by large quantities of well-documented evidence, which takes into account all other factors that might be influential, so there’s really very little doubt about it.

On the other hand it’s pretty obvious that if someone gets 11 pre-cursors, and others who play everyday since release and got nothing. That there might be something wrong with the rng system.

I thought I just said that. The truth is, there really is no RNG system. Colin Johanson just sits at a desk and individually chooses who gets each precursor and when. Some people he likes, others he’s not so fond of.

I also heard that Colin is actually Santa Claus, but I haven’t found any evidence of that yet.

Yeah, you quite fail at trying to be funny.

Why LA? Why dont we build another great city?I mean this LA wasnt the old LA.We should maybe build another great city hub in Maguuma jungle

You got that right.

AnniMira, have a look at the below video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5qHuPoY3W0

It helped me when I was in your situation.

Also, the hell with ‘wvw honor’. Play the cheesiest most OP and rage inducing build you can, PU, condition… the whole 9 yards. Why should you take the high road? .. your enemies aren’t …

So there, I said it. Forget about berserker shatter.

Eh yeah lets post a ridicilous good mesmer as help

I do agree that on evening(our prime time) the small guild trying to cap towers and even keeps are gone. It would be better for that period. With some of the new players I would even have the whole swords thing removed. Also saves you from running to a camp to see those stupid hyleks of ogres there :/

http://www.twitch.tv/gladomer this guy is pretty good, fun chat nice guy. And he plays all kinds of ranger. Melee/power condi. All of it.

I, for one, am not interesting in those bigbirds. Unless it’s killing them for a good profit of feathers.

This thread is great..
If you run in the tail, you are going to get picked off. They don’t care about you because having a tail is a bad thing, and not being on tag is an inconvenience. Stay close to tag or be good enough to kill the thieves that try and pick you off. If you run full zerk, you will have no defense and go down far faster than if you had defense. That is called a trade off. Zerker thieves are not “op,” as someone who plays thief and mesmer I can assure you that mesmer is a lot more survivable in full zerk. That thief did exactly what he intended to do, he took out a squishy light armor with 0 defensive capabilities who was too far from the zerg to cause him to get steamrolled.

So player who in the tail get punish? It like saying, tail of zerg is not important. I do not agree; every part of zerg is important, include tail. Example; like animal tail; so if somebody cut tail; it is animal fault for have tail? So is trade of for animal for have tail? Some class like necromancer is slow class, so is ok for thief to kill because it is in the tail? I say; all player are important including in the tail; i play guardian class and i protect the tail players because they are part of party. Also there is new player in wvw who is not experience in run fast but is learning; should they be not important to party for be in the tail? should new player trade of be instant kill because not learn yet and experience yet?

In my server; some thief stay behind with in the tail player to protect them; even other player and commander wait for in the tail player; they wait for me too; which is nice.

I understand what you say but i do not find ok for this trade of at all. Every part is important; No trade of.

The tail might be important, but for the opponent it’s just a few nice running targets without running speed. Easy Pickings, and everything goes in WvW.

It would be very nice indeed if all 2 borderlands were different in one wvw match. But I think that would make balancing soooo difficult that i dont think it’s likely.
Probrably more in the rotation that every BL will be A, next week B and so on.

Honestly, I play like an idiot. That could be because I tend to use all my professions in wvw,(besides mesmer, hate that) and not get good in just one or 2. Or perhaps I just suck, the last one is quite possible.

I think the dungeon runners would only be satisfied with an elite dungeon like Domain of anguish. And the ability to run that in harder modes for unique loot.

munkiman.3068:

Guardian is a melee spellcaster. All the light professions Mesmer, Necro, Elementalist, can use melee weapons, but they aren’t as up close and personal as a melee class.

That’s not entirely true… Elementalist D/D can get quite up and close. But if you want a heavy-damaging up-close profession that mainly deals with close-range, Guardian is the go-to profession. Especially if you like magic-y type of stuff.

I would go d/d ele too. There is one problem with that the D/D ele is about to get nerfed and also you need gear that is not avaible to you in the first couple of weeks :/

Rimmy.9217:

Lord Kuru.3685:

Very clearly a natural extension of EotM. It’s pretty clear they’ve learned nothing. Plus zero talk of dealing with what’s really killing WvW: copulation and coverage.

Copulation? You think the player base having more of a social life now is adversely affecting the game? XD

:D I lolled…

Oxidia.8103:

I did not had fun crafting mawdrey

I skipped that one, way to tedious for me. I want to have fun with a game… Silly me.

I would have thought that new players had everything unlocked for free too. Kinda dissapointed that they have to gem up to do the LS. I hope it is a feature that is forgotten.
I know that the deal of last weekend is a steal, but it would not do Anet any good in the feel good department if they have to gem to get the LS episodes.

My eyes are still confused, I dont even see any resemblance in the first?

The second one kinda looks like it from a distance and colourblind. But still I very much doubt they are from prometheus. I would have guessed they got inspired by the old movie the day of thr triffids.. you know plants..

Do you want to do WvW of PvE with your chars? Or perhaps pvp?
For small groups in WvW I would pick engineer, very good for small group roaming. And I heard they do pretty good in PvP too

Dawdler.8521:

What was this event?

I know a long, long time ago Anet managed to bug EB so that no stationary siege could be built, only golems. Best time we’ve ever had in WvW, alot of people loved it.

Sadly, they where quick to fix it and never recognized what it caused. Their response to everyones cry on how awesome fights it created was to buff arrowcarts by 100%. And then add masteries to buff them another 100% on top of that. Can you imagine that arrowcarts where once considered weak, sigh…

So if they created something that people liked, expect to never see it again. Its the curse of WvW.

That sounds terrible, low pop servers already have a hard time against blobs. With no siege there is no way you can defend your keep from larger blobs.

As long as they don’t screw around with supplies I got no problem with spies. It’s probably peoples second account, only a fool would sacrifice their toon for spying on another server.

thefantasticg.3984:

And non-GW1 players won’t give two flying ___ks about having Gwen or not.

You obviously dont know who norgu is =)

As long as its not crafting 100000 times of 200 different things I am ok with that.

The moa thing from gw1 was a bit easy though.

I want special powers/animations for my Revenant that I unlocked with my full and complete HoM. =)

Give me Gwen, where the rest of the non gw1 players can have norgu for instance

PVE player will work in WvW. And you can so PvP with that same char just the same.
You just need to regear in PvP(no charge afaik) and it’s not a bad idea to regear for WvW too. Because players hit way harder than foes in pve.

There are lots on EU. There is Desolation, Gandara, Aurora glade. Or my server Gunnars hold that has a lot English speaking players.

Yeah surprise there, you want things, they cost money. Welcome to the real world.

Human or norn, armour on then looks the best.

Tseison.4659:

I’ll be sticking with my Mesmer, there isn’t anything new that the Revenant can do that Mesmers can’t

And you know this how?

AivenPrimus.9184:

Seems like a lot of people have no sense of value…
Ready to pay 30EUR and more for a EXPANSION that ’’would’’ cost as much as a base game…?

If I remember correctly I havent seen a single game that would ask as a maximum, over 20Eur (or otherwise), for a expansion that adds few features…

Then you might as well make a new game…and name it ‘’Revenant Wars 3’’

It shouldn’t be more than 20EUR… at best… it will cost 10EUR

Diablo 3 expansion was about the same price as a full game. And got you a lot less than this expansion of GW2 will give me.

Khal Drogo.9631:

I suggest making it permanent on weekends.

I’m all for the returning of weekend buffs like in GW1.

Why do they not expand into the areas gw1 people are craving for?

It’s a lot smaller than I thought. So no full price. Also it’s not cantha nor elona.. So def. not game price.

1 Intel Core i5-4690K Boxed € 216,95 € 216,95
1 MSI Z97 GAMING 5 € 126,- € 126,-
2 Asus STRIX-GTX970-DC2OC-4GD5 € 349,90 € 699,80
1 Seagate Desktop HDD ST2000DM001, 2TB € 70,- € 70,-
1 Corsair Carbide 500R Black € 107,95 € 107,95
1 Scythe Mugen 4 PCGH Edition € 34,95 € 34,95
1 Crucial Ballistix Tactical BLT2C4G3D1608ET3LX0CEU € 66,95 € 66,95
1 Cooler Master V650 Semi-Modular € 81,95 € 81,95
1 Crucial MX100 256GB € 93,95 € 93,95
Total € 1.498,50

Saves a lot of money.

I dont know, from the footage those maps looked really awesome.

Well they got one thing right, it’s not cantha nor elona

Darmikau.9413:

Prince Rurik, Master Togo, and Dunkoro are my top three

Togo??? he would just get stuck behind everything.

Nope will not have that. Some other form of progression without loosing the old.

Neilos Tyrhanos.5427:

Zappix.7928:

I saw the Engi hammer, he was surrounded by these little flying robot things?

I can’t wait! YAY! I wonder what the Guardian will get?

Dual-wielding focii.

Double lootstick….

I’ll hit that pre-order button for sure.

It does not seem to affect crafting? Any others can confirm?

I was in LA when I got dc-ed.

Expansion with a living story attached to it. Not only expanding into the maguma jungle, but also elona. (the original expansions of gw1 were equal size as the original, I dont think elona or cantha alone will cut it?)

Something to do with guilds, gvg and guildhalls/armours.

Aggrostemma.1703:

Thaddeus pretty much summarised it!

But I would like to link another build I currently work on… (00266) It’s not mine of course and it isn’t new either…

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fVQQJAWSl8ApVoNDxXI8DNBFBldHS/6xOBX4BXFAA-TVSDABOcIAQUJIMq/QlSosU+wz+DAchAk4JAkiuCSBwkyI-w

Utility-bot guardian with nice group healing abilities and some CC potential….

Low damage due to low crit chance and ferocity.
Excellent survivability.
Nice healing: dodge: 1000, symbol: 180/sec, VoR: 500/3sec, Empower: 2400.
Group support with protection, stability, regen, condi cleanse and might.

Noo not another lootstick guard, the OP started with hammer and GS. Stick with that.

4g? You did that twice?

RedSpectrum.1975:

I wish Anet luck….what they could say will either make or break them considering how everyone is getting their hopes HIGH up.

^this, I really hope that this announcement will hit and be major news. I kinda think Anet deserves that much.

TheHeretic.3529:

Grebcol.5984:

Soo after 2014, 2013, 2012 here is the 4th thread.

Any News about DirectX 11?

Don’t you mean 12, considering that’s what was just announced?

Im sure ANet is looking into it. That 50% increase for cpu-bound games would be extremely valuable to GW2, though I imagine it would be a huge project for them.

Correct me if I am wrong, but 12 would take the latest OS from microsoft and some of the newest gfx cards? I dont think that group is the biggest in gw2?

Go to WvW, everyone and their mom there is a lootstick guardian.

JUN YANG.4328:

thats why i said ( not about condition stack build for mesmer)
check out this link.. this what necro in gw1, and this what i mean

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsDM-y-l9hY

GW1 necro >>> gw2 necro, not only minions but curses too. GW2 necro is a weak copy of it’s former glory in gw1.
