Guild Wars 2

Absolutely agree. There would be no downside to this as far as I can tell.

Why I don’t bother with WVW.
Because winning in WVW is not a measure of skills nor tactics. It just means you have more players,more player coverage throughout the 1 week and more players who are not upscaled to lvl 80. Nothing glorious beating opponents with superior numbers/equipment/level. I rather beat my opponents with superior playing skills and tactics.

It is better to be silent and let other think you a fool, then to open it and prove them right. Of coarse, I didn’t know you or think you a fool before you made this post. Now I still do not know you, but I cannot say much on your behalf on the other aspect.

A 1v1 or 1v2 in WvW is no less skillful a battle then in PvP. Coordinating 100+ players in TS or havok group clashes, both have a very solid level of skill.

Based on your level of bitterness though, you must have lost many more 1v1 and 1v2 battles in WvW then you do in PvP.

Don’t forget Engineer turrets and Elementalist conjure weapons.

Lamir.6702:

. I think we should take a leaf from other successful social platforms and implement upvotes and downvotes for posts.

And what social platforms would that be?

Just because a thief once complained about Engineers being OP then this happened

Yeah, This issue drives me nuts. If my armor is of different sets, a single color can appear several different hues, depending on the piece.

I always find it interesting that when someone loses a battle, that they are so rude as to demand the game change in a manner that is simply convenient to them and absolutely hose the rest of us. You should be ashamed of yourself for being so selfish and greedy to make this request.

Hybarf Tics.2048:

Are you mad? Your question should have been, why not sell fire auras at the karma vendor? Don’t you think they make enough money as it is?

Your bring no less gready to demand you get it for free?

When was the last time any piece of clothing was added to the game’s merchants?

I dunno about game merchants, but I do no almost ever 2-4 weeks for a very long time now, I have gotten access to free weapons, multiple back pieces, multiple head pieces, gloves, and shoulder pieces. Any other silly question?

Between the OP and the title, I think what he means is the movement speed increase with condition damage, Similarly how Rune of the Centaur has power, Rune of Speed has vitality, and Rune of Air has critical damage. That said. Rune of the traveler already gives 30 condition damage and 10% condition duration, so your OP conradicts the title a little bit.

Nick.6972:

After more than a year we still don’t have official GvG mode or guild halls, or basic guild management tools. Players have been asking this since the launch and earlier.

Personally i feel guild halls are a waste of time and space, as do very very many players. Just because some players ask for it doesn’t mean it is desired as a time investment by the entire community. Players have asked for all kinds of things since launch, that doesn’t mean most of us want them to waste resources on them because of the occasion thread of very few of the over all player base asking for it.

As for GvG, they are clearly working on it, so I do not understand why so many posters use it as a negative argument. I wish they would drop what they have done on GvG and announce that they will not implement it just because of comments like this, when you know good and well they are working on it, while giving you a temporary fix until it roles out.

Guild management tools, now this is a good quality of life benefit that would effect a majority of the player base beneficially as far as I can see.

No. Your not special because you spent 100g. I have a Commander tag and I do not think I am so special that I deserve to cut in line, and neither should you.

Are you new to GW2?

What do you like in a build? Condition removal? Stun breaker? Both?

We need a little direction to assist you.

I would simply suggest ignoring Irma to be honest, or simply reporting the post for being off topic and trolling I guess. I say this because this poster has Copy/pasted this exact post in 11 threads in a 30min period. I think the mods have deleted around or 7 of them thus far. I do not mind having a discussion with Irms, but I cannot take anyone seriously who make such inaccurate blunt statements. Particularly when they troll spam that same post in 11 threads about the engineer, regardless of how off topic it is.

I am on Jade Quary and I have noticed we have a solid population of Australian players. Many in my guild actually, so I would suggest JQ. (Besides Blackgate players natoriously kill kittens)

It is kind of embarrassing that the community receives regular updates, fixes, and additions, while not paying any regular fees, and has to have it explained to them why they sell items in a gem store.

Then P/P elixir builds will work great. P/P with almost any kit is very serviceable to be totally honest, as long as you beef up your condition damage stat.

nicknamenick.2437:

You can see the problem here.. they are both very defensive builds but stacking only power isnt doing that much of burst damage, if you compare this with condition damage its just to easy to get burst condition damage + allot of defensive stats..

You do not know what your talking about. One thing condition damage absolutely is not, it bursty or burst damage. Condition damage is steady dots, while power direct damage is equivalent damage and in many cases more damage, simply applied upon use of the skill.

I think the bursty here is not so much about huge amount of damage in a small amount of time, but a huge number of varied conditions in a small amount of time. Enough conditions most likely to overwhelm the cleansing capacity of the target. After that the target may well be considered dead man walking.

Isn’t that exactly what direct damage does though? It does more damage then toughness can negate? I fail to see the validity of this argument. Of coarse condition damage is supposed to overwhelm ones ability to cleanse it. If cleansing could keep up with conditions, then it would be a bit pointless to call it condition damage.

I fail to see why it is okay for professions to do 2k direct damage with a skill but people take issue when someone applies a condition that eventually does 2k damage.

Mixistrike.7840:

I can’t believe Devs gonna put another daily in the game…..

Look your leaderboards and look how many points those players are making everyday…

There is a competition to be on top, I spend 4hours per day to do all daily, this is boring and sux, but I want to do because I want to do more points that other players, this is enough , don’t put more daily at the game before you remove some others.

Sorry if you don’t agree, but I’m doing all daily past 5months and I’m still on 516rank. So I know what it is do all daily everyday, do living world and try to get some time to have fun.

PLZ, don’t put more daily at the GAME, PLZ!!!

ps: sorry about my english. English isn’t my main language.

So you ranting about how much time you invest into entirely optional ??

chemiclord.3978:

Listening =/= Do what we say.

Frankly, a majority of fan ideas are either 1) Terrible, 2) Poorly thought out, or 3) Both.

This is pretty much dead on.

Hellmasker.1649:

I will be the first to say that I DO kittenING NOT want any more kittening dailies to try to do. As a top ~40 NA player, I really don’t want to spend EVEN MORE time doing dailies in PvP.

And I assume you are going to display some evidence that shows that it is required to do dailies??? What does being a “top 40” NA player have to do with dailies?

lostterran.7910:

First off, let me say, that Im playing GW2 since beta and I’m still enjoying the game.
But after all these changes you’ve done over the year I just wonder:
Is it to hard to listen to your players?

They have more then proven that they listen to players. Just because they do not listen to your horrible ideas as well does not mean they are not listening to you. It simply means they are using better judgement then you.

lostterran.7910:

The only thing you really managed to arrange was the thing with flamekissed armor.
Examples?

-Scarlet Briar
-Players do not like the character

And?
Players also do like her. The difference is, they do not make threads about it. Just because a vocal few suggest they dislike Scarlet doesn’t mean anything.

lostterran.7910:

-Living Story overall
-Players scream for an expansion
-Do silly farming-maps which dissapear (without any explanation) after 2 weeks.

I like the living story.
Players scream for an expansion out of habit. We do not need an expansion to get the equivalent of one. Everyone is to short sighted, and one track minded to understand that. Another perfect example of good judgement on Anets part. This is such a lame example. Player were making threads about an expansion the same month the game was released, and if they did make an expansion, players would be demanding another one the same week.

Well right now there was a post about the upcoming PvP-changes

lostterran.7910:

People DONT WANT ranks to get removed
People WANT to be able to have legendarys, cultural armor etc. on PvP
but DONT WANT something like this weird crossover. PvP armor always was something special, just BECAUSE there was a different way to achieve it.

Where have they stated they will not have legendaries and cultural armor in PvP, because that is what your attempting to imply.

lostterran.7910:

So, I just wonder why it seems to be so hard to listen to your players or request an opinion beforehand.

Again, you appear very confused. Just because they do not act on every single idea posted in the forums does not mean they do not listen. If anything, it is posters like you who dishonestly make such comments that will help deter them from wanting to take player ideas further.

The OP never specified PvP. There are many vids of P/P HgH Elixir users in WvW though.

It is simple in my eyes. No draw. You fight in your gear till someone dies. Forget time limits. Fight to the death. If you disengage for more then 5s then you are disqualified.

I have updated all of the information thus far.

Let me know if there is anything else.

Very solid DPS.

Very solid Support.

Of coarse we succeed in harder PvE sections of the game. To be honest, even the hard sections of PvE are not actually hard.

Yes we succeed in high level PvP.

What specifically is supposed to be crippled about the engineer? To be honest, if you read any sub forums, there are many threads trying to complain about each and every aspect of their profession. Either wanting sympathy for losing a fight, trying to get something buffed, or any other number of reasons.

Op there has been an ongoing discussion on tactics to fighting both thieves and mesmers here.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/engineer/Engineer-vs-Mesmer-Thief-tactics-help/first#post3296618

I hope that helps.

OP, a P/P build with elixirs is not outdated at all, it is a build that can definently be used with great success.

Stop caring about the meta then. I don’t. From what I have seen in the engineer forums, a vast amount of regular engineers ignore the so called meta. Play what you want, how you want. Make a build you like and play it.

As far as your point about conditions, I don’t really understand that. It is simply 1 of 2 ways to do damage in this game. Maybe I am just misinterpreting what you meant there though.

I completely disagree with your assessment OP. Many condition builds utilize precision to proc traits, sigils, and runes, to add conditions. As well you neglect to mention condition duration. Those are both stats that strongly effect condition builds.

As well, power builds can have great burst damage, where condition builds are generally more of a steady damage. I feel your assessment was inaccurate and very limited based on what I have mentioned already.

I spend a great deal of time in WvW, and this has never been an issue for me in the least. To be honest, I have had so little problem with anything even close to this, that I could not have fathomed this to be a problem until I ran across your post.

Honestly, I see more potential problems with not seeing downed or dead players names then I can possibly imagine the improvements would be.

I have a different twist on what I want utility goggles to be. As the only true condition removal utility we have is elixir C (although healing turret helps alot now), I would love to see the tool belt skill “analyze” changed to “gas mask”. Offering benefits to the gadget sub set of utilities as a whole. This would propose moving the vulnerability debuff to the utility skill of utility goggles making it a fury buff and vulnerability debuff, while making the tool belt skill into a condition removal.

This, in my opinion would give gadgets both a condition removal with utility goggles utility and a stun breaker with slick shoes., somewhat empowering a full gadget build.

I honestly have no idea how it prioritizes which mob gets the burn. But yes, only one is supposed to. It is working as intended.

Just a tip. You will not get near the attention this deserves, as it would in the game bug sub forums.

I dunno. A lot of players like the full footage and not just highlight reels when it comes to fight. And seriously, what is wrong with almost dieing against 2 attackers at once?

As to the dolyaks, I can agree, that is the sort of thing you may wish to edit out.

Honestly, it is a trait to benefit a bomb build, but it is not such a powerful trait that you really make builds off of it.

The thing I like about celestial gear, is that you do enough direct damage+enough condition damage, that all of the bombs do good damage and have either strong damage or strong utility value. Add in the healing power that is on celestial, and you are being very beneficial to any group of any size, in multiple ways. At least that is how I feel about it.

Emissary Vex.5690:

poor coglin. The devs are already going to nerf the runes. They made an official comment saying the runes are “on their radar” and they are going to make some changes to it.

I think your a little behind the times on this one bud. They nerfed these in the last update. All of this threads discussion is post nerf.

the condition duration of your enemy will play a role. If he has 100% condition duration, they would cancel out and apply the conditions as if you had no negative duration and he had no positive duration.

Gummy.4278:

Have you ever went to teleport to a waypoint and found that no you can’t do it, that one is contested and the closest waypoint is half the map away?

No, not really. I have 100% swiftness up time, and there is always a way point not to far away. I never have to run across the map.

Why would you bother with elixir c to remove conditions when you have the healing turret? It removes conditions fairly well on its own, and your losing a slot for another turret.

As said, very flexible. If you played your ranger well, then you had to micro manage your pet a lot in PvE. I find that the engineer needs less attention then that. But you can have some multi kit builds that have a skill for almost every situation, that you can be quit busy swapping kits to use those skills.

Meglobob.8620:

Hard content is good…

But not at the beginning…its very unfair on new players and can put them off the game. The starting zones should be very easy to easy, to allow newcomers to find there feet…

I fail to see how a challenge is unfair.

Orpheal.8263:

I call games, that have not mount systems similar to what BLESS will provide absolutely outdated, GW2 is outdated absolutely already in many aspects, when you look at many of the upcoming games.

This appears to me to be a very narrow view. It seems very unintelligent to me. Mounts are outdated. They are annoying fluff in my opinion. I rather be able to get there fast rather then try to sit on the back of a foolish looking beat in a public area.

Also, I have to ask. How can one game be outdated, based on a comparison to games that are not released? That doesn’t even make sense.

OP, we already have this, it is called WvW.

Lol, if they do not make they change you demand, then it is because Anet does not listen. That is funny. Posters such as yourself making back handed comments like that are why forums deserve to be ignored by devs.

I have absolutely no problem with runes of perplexity. And where is it in the wiki or anywhere else for that matter, that “Confusion is supposed to be a short-duration”……Your coming to your own conclusions and forcing them at the rest of us.

If you do not want 10s of confusion, then play with enough skill not to be interrupted. That is how I see it.

NO. What there should be is more weapons for the professions with access to more weapons then any other profession, and the other one that is tied for second in that same category. Just my opinion. Warriors are already coddled as it is.

NevirSayDie.6235:

It’s impossible for an engineer to apply 15 stacks without the runes,

This wrong. An asuran engineer has the capability to do 19 stacks.

Well, what server are you on? If you post the server maybe someone on your server will see this thread and offer to give you the “guided tour” so to speak.

I am baffled by this thread. How is it that just after they added an area specifically for GvG, you get folks making threads demanding GvG?

Agreed. I almost guarantee I have seen post infracted for the worde ignorant being used in context, telling someone they are ignorant to how something actually works,then explaining it to them

I just think Norns should be mounts. They can tote all of the human’s, asura’s, and sylvari around on their shoulders.

Treborlavok.3504:

contradiction much? There is no fixing the tool tip, theres only fixing the tool tip… lol thats what ive been saying. They need to either fix the tool tip in game, which btw build sites go off of in game tool tips for their sites. Their sites directly reflect what the in game stats and tool tips say… so if anyone needs to fix anything its Anet…

Contradiction? No not in the least. Now ask me if that is a typo, and I would say absolutely. I was back spacing to reword what I was going to say and didn’t get it all deleted. I am a poor typist generally anyway. But yeah we are in agreement here, they simply need to just take it out of the tool tip.

FYI, most of the build editor sites do not actually reflect what the tool tips say. Some have old tool tip info that was changed months ago, and some test and fix their info to be more accurate. Which is why I suggested contacting them so they fix it. That is generally how they work. On most occasions, when something in game changes, they are not always aware of it, or do not know about it until we inform them.

Forestnator.6298:

and Runes with +30% confusion duration

AFAIK still not works. I mean confusion duration from perplexity runes.

Skill description never shows specific boon/condition duration. Are you sure?

Hasn’t worked since the runes were released, and still didn’t after last update.
