Guild Wars 2

And yet the silhouhet of the mursaat is clearly shown in the picture.

ArenaNet should create something similar to Wildstar’s PATHS, and build it in the game in GW2-style.

Because wildstar was such a huge success to be taken as an example. I completely forgot the game was ever created till i saw your post lol.

WS is definitely bigger succes with it’s boss encounters than GW2 will ever be.

And yet it was dead for about a month after release, even worse with all that enormous hype before releasing it.

A short answer might be, that chinese players like the hardcore games more. GW2 is much more for casual players.
I love my WvW when I finish diner at home, and only have short time to play. So it’s kinda perfect for me.

Yep totaly agree with making them salvagable.

I’d rather stare at a female, even if its fiction, than a male version. Simple as that :/

Fine if they nerf GS rush, can we get hundred blades while moving in return please?

I can’t watch twitch from work, but looking at dulfy:

• http://dulfy.net/2015/05/08/gw2-dragonhunter-ready-up-livestream-notes/

Longbow skills

• http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/gw2-dragonhunter-longbow-skills1.jpg

Why is their longbow hitting for solid damage regardless of range, piercing without traits, applying cripple if it hits more than 1 target, and fire every 0.75s as opposed to our 1.00s (0.90s traited). That doesn’t look right. Is there some aftercast that at least makes it more than the 0.75s listed?

Trueshot #2 and Deflecting Shot #3 both look like they’d hurt … what is up with 4s cooldown. I’m hoping that is just a “still in development” issue. It has the same cast time as the auto-attack so that currently looks like skill that you simply cast every time it’s not on cooldown. Not very skillful but looks very effective … more effective low skill-floor crap for Guardians. Deflecting Shot is in a similar position with its fact cast time, still decent damage and affecting any attacks since it’s a blind and projectile destroyer.

Symbol of Energy … this seems okay. I’m just amazed that this weapon has so many hard-hitting skills with such low cooldowns.

Hunter’s Ward … I’ll need to see the video to see the damage on this, but that final damage looks painful. At least this isn’t on some less than 20s cooldown. Bit annoyed that it not only traps but cripples too. Stepping on our toes there a bit.

Traps

• http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/gw2-dragonhunter-trap-skills2.jpg

These all hit hard. We’ll have to see how our own traps stack up to these once they are done with the rework there. Hopefully we’ll be on par. Nothing too horrible here except a Zerk Guardian with 3 traps stacked could ruin someone’s day pretty darn quickly. If you’re full melee, you might cry given they can stack on their traps and pew pew you with their new longbow.

Traits:

• http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/gw2-dragonhunter-traits1.jpg

Minor Traits
Look fine. Nothing to write home about.

Adept Traits
Bleed on traps, looks lackluster, zealot’s aggression and soaring devastation could be sick if paired with other things. We’ll come back to Zealot’s Aggression.

Master Traits
Hunter’s Determination gives 3s stability per target hit by a skill that hits hard, casts quickly, and is on a 4s cooldown … so 3s of stability every 4.75s …. really?! I’m hoping that’s one of those “still in development” things that will be getting tweaked.

Bulwark looks fine.

Dulled senses isn’t too bad … until you look at the synergy with the grandmaster.

Grandmaster Traits
Hunter’s Fortification doesn’t look too bad given how long the virtues cooldowns currently are.

Heavy Light just looks ridiculous when you pair it with the other factors. First, now they want to be in melee with that Longbow because (1) it doesn’t do any less damage in melee (2) knockback is an interrupt … interrupt every 7s just from attacking (3) that knockback synergizes with dulled senses to cripple you (4) that cripple from dulled senses synergizes with zealot’s aggression for extra damage … now back to their minor that does +10% dmg at >= 600 range … or you can be crippled, constantly interrupted, and taking +10% dmg from them any time they get you within 300 range.

Big Game Hunter could hurt, but there are other traits in game that resemble it … I’m just curious about this stacking with other +% dmg traits … as that would get to pretty darn ridiculous levels.

• Big Game Hunter + Fiery Wrath + Zealous Blade + Symbolic Avenger = 15% + 10% + 5% + 20% = +50% damage … from two specializations

I think at the very least some numbers need to be tweaked here … math isn’t that hard.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fNAQFADC4PAWTA-TpgWAAw+DbZAA

assuming carrions in pvp, longbow numbers generally way higher.
true shot requires you to stand in place during casting, and without it, the general damage would be pretty low.

not only that but ranger has pet while doing that dmg.

.

You mean that pet that is down in a few seconds in WvW? That pet?

3 nights in a row these ques. And I am somewhere on the 14/13th place server. I cant imagine higher placed servers and the misery they must have.

Svarty.8019:

Ahhh standing around unable to do anything until you die…. takes me back to DAoC. Such… fun?

Ah well they used to be hammer stuns. No problem using venom sharing. And I dont mind using them on me either. Just another tactic, call them rat wells whatever. As long as the other blob dies.

Pff what is wrong with venom wells now. You become overpowered, your own kitten siege golem according to the OP?

Another week switch, another evening stuck in ques. And no I am not on a very high server.

Make one of them do more damage against stupid golems and I would vote for it

revodeel.2651:

Any dev have an update as to when we can obtain the tribal armor set?

Sorry, no update. It will come when it comes, but we’re not able to give a date at this point.

Maybe I am wrong but it looks like You don’t care about players who gently ask for it. Can You tell us why? We support Your game, buying games, buying new coppies. It’s not a big deal to contribute it giving us armor we all really want?

Probably in HoT.

Most people posting here never seen a good power ranger it seems.

What would help a small bit if they just removed the crafting from the home BL. People crafting there only go there because of the no travel costs from everywhere Anet.

Straits untill the temples is fine, after that it’s just a pain.

Silverthorn.8576:

People stacks on T1 and then complains about queue…

I play on GH, against you btw, but I cant even play on EB at night. The que is that high. And thats on place 13/14. Noway near gold.

Heimskarl Ashfiend.9582:

aspirine.6852:

I hope the trapper changes are not set in stone, it would destroy trapper runes to have an activation time.

Actually, I think it will make them better. As it is now, you throw the trap and get the stealth/speed, if it immediately goes off, you lose the stealth due to revealed. If they make the traps have an arming time, you won’t be able to lose the stealth as quickly.

You’ll just need to lead your foe a bit or draw them into the traps. Slightly different play style than before.

Well I hadnt thought about it in that way. That does sound very helpful indeed

I hope the trapper changes are not set in stone, it would destroy trapper runes to have an activation time.

coglin.1867:

Jerus.4350:

Though celestial is losing 10% on the stats if I read right.

No, they said celestial “amulet” would change, not that it would change on PvE/WvW gear.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/pvp/Impact-on-PVP-with-no-stats-from-traits

“This is probably as good of a place as any to mention that we’ll also be using this opportunity to rebalance PvP’s celestial amulet to be slightly less effective. We’re probably looking at a 10%~ decrease in overall stats, but this number can change as we draw closer to releasing the core specialization changes.”

I so hope you are right about this

Offair.2563:

I remember some anet players running around in WvW, unsure which server it was but i can tell ya, they got ganked hard lol.

That was a terrible engi against our server on EB though

Ins.7139:

+1. Enough with the “testing” put it back to normal. The main problem now is people joining WvW early and going AFK so they don’t get stuck in Q’s later – which just leads to less people in WvW. Anet caused this problem, now put it back!

Exaclty this, and it makes emercency defends really kitten hard also.

So basically you are saying you want a server that steamrolls everything else…….

How about the number one server then?… That wasnt very hard..

On gunnars hold we have some good defenders. One particular in our BL always defends/scouts at dawns tower. Renamed after him, Tich tower. Very usefull, scouts everything going dawns/garri northcamp.

Coldtart.4785:

If there are no superior arrow carts, what will the bad defenders sit on while they hide from their enemies? And if there are no omega golems, what will they blame when they inevitably lose?

Drop down a few servers in wvw and when you are up against some server who outblobs you 5-1 you will be happy there is such a thing as superior ac.

Naz.2607:

Any word on what’s happening to superior siege creation with the upcoming changes to skill points? Did I miss anything on that?

Maybe they should just add a tab to the siege vendor for it & make it purchase-able with both silver and badges?

I like the vendor idea.

Baldrick.8967:

coglin.1867:

25,000 badges to buy a precurser.

That might even motivate some to spend some time in WvW who have never been there.

The problem being that will just encourage even more blobbing and zero defending, as well as even more ‘spam 1’ heavy types, as everyone knows guards just ave to look at an enemy to earn a tag and loot.

Defending will be more important in HoT. Atleast that’s what I heard

They just ask not to run with you, it’s not like they can stop you or anything. If raids are on my server I avoid them unless they are also defending keeps and upgraded towers. They dont mind that, just the open field combat that is a bit weird running with a closed raid, so i dont do it.

Stephen ClarkeWillson.1802:

BTW, the ping number we show in the client on the options screen is probably different than you see in other games. We should name it something different. Traditionally the ping time is the time it takes for a packet to get to a server and back. In our case, it is the time to get to the server, get processed by the game map you are in, and then sent back. So our misnamed “ping” is much more variable than most ping numbers because it includes game processing time.

Could be, but I see a steady 40ms now in EB WvW. When fighting it gets higher to perhaps 200ms but still playable. Not like the 2 seconds yesterday.

Yesterday evening, Gunnars hold/Aurora and drakkar matchup ni EB i had such high ping ( between 1.5 and 2 seconds) it was unplayable to me.
Went to test another game and steady ping for hours of around 28ms.

Offair.2563:

Yeah its sad people are doing this, we on gunnars have to deal with such a moron for more then 2 years now building rams all ovcer the place in EB keep. He is still going on to this day and have been reported 10000000 times.

Does he smell? I saw a person donig this in EB and he smelled bad if you know what I mean.

Kungsmurfen.2861:

Atm FoW and BT could use some more players.

I started out in FoW and it was a very good server for beginners. The higher end servers are more a bandwagon and zerg server. I would also would go for the lower ones to start.

Firelysm.4967:

It’s funny when ever i come to forum, i see one kid crying about how ranger pierced his candy build… Wanna know something? If ranger wants to win versus every class, he/she has to change their build for specific fight.

Why do you expect to run 1 build and own all?
Simple your build has nothing to defend yourself for rapidfire..

Sadly… there are way more OP skills then rapid fire in game and no1 cares about them…
But me personally, i addapt and counter the skill.

If you are warrior and you lost to ranger… ask yourself what can you do to improve, the time spend for this topic, would already give you the answer

Frightlight.3796:

My idea is reduce the damage by like 25% but make its cast time even lower like a 1.5 sec cast time at least this way if you dodge it you will dodge almost all of it save for a few hits. I am sure the numbers can be balanced to make it faster with the right amount of damage for the cast time.

and, NO.
Predicting enemy ranger is so easy.
You guys just have to learn one thing, IF you nerf rapid fire or anything about power ranger, i’ll 24/7 condi ranger, and trust me, you guys don’t want to make a deal with devil… Cuz when ranger changes to condi, there is no class to counter it.

Dire thief says hi and bring the condi on. You stand no chance.

King Kraken.2863:

I think instead of having the wall reflect, have it destroy projectiles and turn them into life force. That would be a lot of fun and not as overpowered as full reflect. Having poison cloud destroy projectiles too would be nice.

Good point if reflect is too strong. Some projectile defense is more than enough for me in this time. All these pew pew rangers are kittening me off :P

http://www.twitch.tv/gladomer is a very good stream. He does pvp, but mostly wvw. Still going to learn from him when you watch it.

Perfectly fine for open world fighting. Unless you outnumber the other group by far. If you still build siege when you outnumber them by far I dont know what to say.

Guildlogo gliders, go for it….

Donari.5237:

Here are some of mine. It’s hard to do huge variation with the provided dye channels and saturations, so I left out the ones that are similar to these. Yes, I know a couple of my sylvari are eyesores, but they have … odd tastes in color.

Would it be hard to add the colors per pic? Some of them look so awesome.

Pew pew from a far without any risk? If you like that then ranger with LB might be for you.
More fun and active is the melee ranger but that is my opinion.

Atherakhia.4086:

100b does like 40-45% more damage than Rapid Fire base. So really not sure what you’re going on about.

Not nearly as easy to hit as rapid fire. Face it this skill is broken, and I say this as a main ranger in wvw.

So you want ascended gear for Badges of honor? I would not mind that at all.

LucosTheDutch.4819:

I would like to see (something like) this as an outfit added in GW2: http://static.zerochan.net/Heishirou.Mitsurugi.full.715165.jpg

I think that outfit classified as “sexy” while also being extremely manly and cool. It would be so sick to have that on my human male warrior.

Lol yeah. Atleast I hope you are joking

Darkrayne.5614:

I like it but pretty soon half the players will be wearing it. I don’t like that you can look so good at any level without actually earning it either if I’m honest. Should at least be made level 80 or something.

I like the outfit a lot, looks great. If they release all the gods outfits from gw1 in the shop there would be great diversity. And all of them look awesome in concept.

Stand The Wall.6987:

maybe gs will have reflects.
anyway i dont agree that necro needs reflects.

You dont think so? afaik we dont have any blocks either, DS is the only defense we need?

Weird that there are somehow more foes than friendlies on our GH borderlands right now. And a evening que all night of about 25. Something wrong with the map totals that does not affect the other servers????

coglin.1867:

No. I agree there is no reason to blindly believe the OP either. But that is not the point. In that case, he is not specifically calling names or declaring random superiority either.

You mean like the OP did in his opening post? Did he or did he not call these people BAD players? Because what, they chased him and killed him? You know like kinda the whole purpose of wvw.

Magnnus.5169:

Torch. I can’t think of any build for any class that uses it.

Mesmers use torch as one of their main weapons.

coglin.1867:

aspirine.6852:

I see runners as cowards, so you bet I will come after you and kill your kitten .

I wouldn’t call someone a “coward” simply because they had somewhere they were going, and they don’t stop to waste their time with you, as some random roamer they came across.

He was fighting in NC, lost his mates dead and he ran from the fight. Sounds like a coward to me.

I see runners as cowards, so you bet I will come after you and kill your kitten .

OanSur.4590:

The only thing i was curious about was “how does it look like with juggernaut aura” and it looks… still awesome, but not as awesome as expected.

All glowing parts stop glowing, even though these parts are orange the juggernaut uses color of your 1st slot dye. It just look cold and empty. Even worse on charr… the head under the helmet look like a silver muppet

Hmm that looks pretty good? What dye are you using?
