Guild Wars 2

CHIPS.6018:

It is GREAT NEWS that Dhuumfire is nerfed to the ground. Now perhaps our whole profession won’t have to balance around Dhuumfire anymore.

I support any kind of nerf against Dhuumfire. In fact this whole trait should be deleted from the game altogether and be forever forgotten alongside the Forgottens.

How is it great news that it is now completly useless? Nerfing does not mean make it so bad no-one would ever want to trait for it.

I’m gonna test this again, if I get the chance to find a ganking thief between woodhaven an Bay in WvW. Could be they like this area to gank and stealth because of the any animals in the area that you target first when they get out of stealth.

In WvW guardian hammer is just a sure thing to be interrupted and stacked with confusion now. I kinda know what you are feeling, and it’s slow even for me. And I am old

Not the only problem, the wait is terrible too.

And to say that voice com does not work is just….. I don’t know what to say about that, it’s 100% wrong.

Bone dragon staff

This, but since the engine can handle more it would have to be more like the concept art.
Quite silly that a game about dragons with such a great lore item is not in the game yet.

On the other hand I had great fun yesterday, in WvW.

I kinda enjoy zerg vs zerg or group vs group. I also enjoy smaller groups vs smaller groups. As long as it is not one giant blob of 60, o not enjoy that.
I also find it pretty fun when 3 zergs collide in open field, some hectic fighting as a result.

Savoy.6824:

@aspirine.6852 funny I didnt see any boss zerg farming in the winters day patch, or in the fractal patch, and if memory serves me correctly the tower of nightmares boss was 5 man group instance.

yeah ok that is true, except for the wintersday and fractal update was not really living story. The after tower was boss farming the pre tower was zerg farming. Toxic things, all zerg farming..

Dissapointment..nothing more to say

Wow, it’s been out for what? 30 minutes…I’d hate to be an ANET dev…players are harsh! Dissapointed before the events even begin!

Well they took 6 weeks to give you gem store stuff and a boss for pve zerg, if you are happy with it so be it.

Patience is a virtue, as they always say. Again, this is only the first of four patches.

And the same as the last 4. Boss zerg farming.

So much fun, standing for half an hour doing nothing, much better this LS than any expansion.

So you are saying the hammer is slow? I’m not sure but that is the message I am getting from this..

I can see the thiefs raging already with all the blind immunity.

oZii.2864:

People that think the Devs are biased toward classes they helped create are immature and grabbing at anything they can to prove a point. I don’t think they need to do that. The community is far more biased then the Devs since most people only care about their “Main” and many don’t have extensive time with other classes.

Last dev I saw posting his profession he was playing his Hammer warrior on the Blackgate wvw server. Just an incident of course, I’m sure they play all professions…….

That 4 second stun nerf on a 3 minute cooldown was needed to stop the current meta of engineer train going through all of WvW. It’s not like Anets favorite class can stun more everyfew seconds or something.

Better do the wurm as fast as you can then, if this is the same as teq it will be dead on most servers very soon. I dont care much for this update.
The big puppet however looks very sweet.

crickets
12 chars and such..

“This new community person sure posts a lot on this forum”

I still find it weird they think the elite skill of the engineer with a massive cooldown is in need of a nerf. I dont think I have heard anyone on my server complain that this skill is so OP that it needs the nerf.
Now I have heard enough complaints about Dhuumfire, but to completly destroy the grandmaster trait and make it useless is not among the solutions I think.
I do hope they would reconsider if these decisions are what’s really needed in the game.

Invictus.1503:

I don’t say RestInPeac…I say JUST DIE ALREADY AND GO AWAY. Dhuumfire has been nothing but a curse to the necromancers since it was dreamed up. Do away with it already and give us something useful that doesn’t cause everything else to get nerfed around it!

But in this case we are worse of without dhuumfire.. Fine if they decided to nerf it, probably was too much for their warriors to handle, but something in return would be nice. not the complete nerf they did now and made it completly worthless.

Lucky.9421:

Factions, Nightfall and Eye of the North says hi.

Anet produces better work when they have had a reasonable amount of time to design and test it.

Factions and Nightfall were not expansions. They were their own games and were being developed even before Prophecies was released as far as I remember.

The only actual expansion GW1 had was Eye of the North. And that didn’t really add much more than the LS have done (and it took much longer time to release that as well.)

Oe oh, EOTN brought great new areas, new heroes. Very overpowered pve skills(with their corresponding ranks), Lot’s of great dungeons and lots of good new weapons(ok after the weapon design contest). EOTN was a great expansion for me.

aspirine.6852:

You need to be in the lower tier for this. If you move to FoW, vabbi or WSR you will not only see many small fights but also some nice servers to roam against.

Wont there be times that it is completely dead like Player vs Door action?

I am not sure how it is right now. There used to be plenty of action in enemy borderlands. If you can find a vabbi or FoW player on the forum you can ask them of course.

IchigoHatake.5098:

aspirine you are obviously a noob who has never played a thief, in pvp/wvw that torment stack does 5k untreated, people still complain about how we go in stealth and heal up using shadow rejuvenation and other traits in shadow arts. Did you know that a thief has around 15k hp? Did you also know that the warrior can apply torment to us if there first one hits, the rest will still hit? that sword 4 is just super op, along with long bow, making it impossible to actually kill a good warrior.

Rule number one in game discussion, if you do not agree call the other a noob……

Atleast you can go into stealth when you get hit by that torment stack, unlike many other professions. My thief has almost 20k, I do not care if you want to run without the health pool to deal with heavy condi damage. You do know that condi damage is the current meta in small fights do you……

Thiefs will be whining if they cannot move, what else is new. Nerf stealth and we wil talk about nerfing torment. Talking about a minor condition when you have acces to the most OP ability in the game.

You need to be in the lower tier for this. If you move to FoW, vabbi or WSR you will not only see many small fights but also some nice servers to roam against.

This is is perfectly showing that d/d is such a fun and dynamic build. d/d was my first toon and I think it’s time to give it some more love.
i hope they dont nerf celestial trinkets/accesories too much

Just noticed you are from Ohai, just like that insanly good necro, you’re not the same person are you =)

I do not want either to be nerfed, but to be fair my engi applies burning more frequent and easier than my necro.
The only reason I can think of is that grenades are much slower and travel in an arc making it not as instant like lets say scepter 1.

Well most warriors run with -40 food, traited for low conditions and even with runes. It’s hard to compare a frontliner to a sneaky class like thief in general. Thief in general has the most OP ability so I dont really feel sorry for thiefs and there lack of condition removal.

Typical responses ^^

Congrats on the 250k kills.

“7) engineer – light CC and grenades is about all they’ve got, conditions spamming a hammer-train is pointless since it gets cleared almost instantly. Engineers are prone to CC as they are a class that has almost 0 stability.”

While this is true, I think the Engi and therefor also the necro gets better the longer the fights last. Not all zerg vs zerg are over in 20 seconds. In longer lasting fights no cleansing can keep up with all the condis applied by these two classes. Also both are very well to apply lots and lots of pressure on the backline.

Torment is fine against thiefs. It is suppose to be anti mobile professions.

Kitiara.2706:

Sreoom.3690:

Give commanders the ability to mark unneeded siege to allow folks to break them down for supply….then problem solved.

Having the ability to remove unneeded siege for supply would be cool…….and would probably be trolled, too. Could you imagine someone removing all the siege from a keep right before an attack? Or using all the supply to build, then remove siege so the keep is drained, and empty?

The two main trolls on our server both are so sad they even bought a commander tag to troll more. So giving more power to a commander would be indeed a way to troll even more. Banning them is the only option.

Jessibelle.5084:

No one is allowed to play WvW unless I’m in already. That way when I “work hard” capping the map no one can undo it without me being there. I don’t care if you play at a different time to me, you’re not allowed to play WvW without me because that’s unfair.

I don’t play overnight, I play during standard daytime hours for my timezone, I often find out in the morning everything has been capped by 1 server – that’s just how it goes. Suck it up or go back to a single player game where you can control when things happen by switching the game off.

I accept it, doesnt mean Ihave to like it. There is always room for improvement.

Omaris Mortuus Est.2738:

A mod/dev has already commented on this type of trolling.

They claim that they cannot control how players play a game, and hence this is not a bannable, suspendable or reportable type of play. As such it is considered a legitimate “tactic”, even though most of us think of it as being unfair and unsportsmanlike.

Enjoy the game people, “it’s working as intended”!

Try reporting them for Gold Selling, I hear that works to ban them :P

That would be the sadest excuse for not acting I have ever seen in a game. I doubt that this is their point of view.

I am just surprised they still not seeing that wvw is not the same as pve. Full zerker in pve who really cares, and if you are running full zerker in wvw you are either very brave and/or very good. Perfectly fine with that.

Dina Van Heyr.3018:

engis have confusion and a lot of cc that necro dont except of few fears with wery long cd .. simply anet again listened to whining and thats their results, if dhuumfire as grandmaster is OP what is then hammerwarior with 50% crit chance from ADEPT TRAIT !!!!!!!! who can smash to ground anyone in 4-kittens in spvp, www etc .. it you try to make sense to this nerf then you sould really look at another profesions ..

I wouldn’t call a 20s CD very long. Doom is instant, nearly unavoidable and can deal a LOT of damage in a short period of time.

Unsuspecting foe is a master trait since 10th December.

edit: typo

The stacks of confusion my engi puts out > doom or fear.

If its 10% less damage from someone who is 100% zerker I dont see the big deal. It will still be dps max.

I thought only full zerker was going to be nerfed, not the occasional zerker trinkets.

Anet just does not seem to care about griefing, I have never seen an anet icon in front of one of these posts. I dare the new person responsible for this wvw section to comment on why they do NOTHING about griefing.
On my server there are several trolls, reported hundreds of times a month, and ye here they are wasting a complete keep supply on siege.
From the official report function on this forum you only receive an automated reply and after a week or so another automated reply on how they handled your problem.
Customer care right there.

One night and already we have lost the week, nightcapping is just for ppt ok but still it has too much impact right now.

Like others said my Engi has a better dhuumfire, and this is not a problem it seems.

ArmageddonAsh.6430:

Well considering that Necromancers were STRONGER before Dhuumfire was introduced that says something. While it is good, the counter that it has had having so much nerfed and then itself being nerfed several times has FORCED people to use it.

So now we are weaker because people kept on whining about it. This is good news?

I always test in other games how my connection is doing. It’s almost always when its terrible in gw2 it’s fine in other games.

The basic impression I got from the stream is that they have no idea what they are doing and what the results for the gamers will be. So much changes to skills and prefessions to nerf that again and change them again. None of these people on the stream play your game btw.

I rage quit yesterday after being in a que for 45 + minutes to see that I could not use my skills and sometimes a delay up to a few minutes. Terrible.

Could you also do something about these godkitten ques? It is getting insane on fridays waiting for more than an hour to play the game I payed for. And dont begin about that map update because that is not solving the que problem.

Drakh.3128:

aaaand he’s gone.

Not quite!

I’m still getting acclimated to the WvW team, and most recently I’ve been working with the balance team on the livestream we’ll be running tomorrow. (Which you’ll of course be watching, right?)

kitten right I will be watching it.

albotelho.2931:

I like the downed state idea, but it has issues, it is ridiculous when you kill someone and he hits a dying mob to get up… maybe the rally should be you get up if you kill the one person that downed you or someone else kills the person… I dont think it is fair that you hit someone in the middle of the zerg, than you are downed by other player… for some reason the guy you hit dies… and you are alive!!!

Instead perhaps you should gain lifeforce(or what ever you want to call the bar when you are downed) whenever a players you hit dies and it helps you revive instead of insta rally?
Maybe even scale it with healing power or something.

Start working on it? There are more than 300 people at anet, you dont think they all work on the living story do you?

Why would she want to see whole of tyria burn then?
