Guild Wars 2

R.I.P. GW2

We will miss you Q_Q

Also, not a firewall/port/anti-virus problem, it’s just Anet servers can handle the summer.

retcrusader.2609:

I’m also getting:
“Network error. The inability to connect to Guild Wars 2 may be caused by internet routing issues or a server network failure”
(Code=5:11:3:159:101)

I’m also getting this one but only with my main in Queensdale. My alt in Divinity’s Reach have no problems (which is a real pain in the kitten since I wanna play with my main).

I suppose Queensdale is overrun by people farming the classic champs there (the troll/boar/wasp) and all overflow servers are full (and I suppose the other zones mentioned here are in the same boat).

Maybe next time Anet take 5 minutes to think a little more before doing some changes like this and put a limit on the rewards so people move their kitten to another map instead of farming the same “easy” champions all day (1 reward for day or better, 1 per week).

Undead weapons anyone?

Also:

Eve armor
Fanatic armor
Necrotic armor
Scar Pattern
Eve armor
All necromancer prestige armor from Prophecies
Eve armor
Necromancer Elite Kurzick
Necromancer Elite Canthan
Eve armor

I’m a GW1 player and I love references to the original game.

Yesterday, I re-roll and decided to explore DR but this time I did something different: I explored the whole city WALKING.
This allowed me to see things I never saw before and while exploring Rurikton ,I catched the references to GW1 (all the npc’s related to npc’s from GW1) and I was like HOLY COW, that awesome (I didn’t feel like that since I saw Old Lion’s Arch for the first time Q_Q).

However, Fractals aren’t the best place for this kind of thing. We have a fractal about the searing and what? It’s just run to point A, kill, kill, run to pont B, kill, kill, success.
No story, no lore, no references, nothing to say “woot, I miss GW1” and worst, we are turned into charrs (thank Grenth is bugged and the last 3 times I’ve been there I kept my real form).

Ah, today was a good day, a good day indeed.

deepwinter.9015:

I voted for Ellen Kiel because:

- I like the character.
- I like her story so far.
- I want to see more of her story.

I did not vote for Ellen Kiel because:

- Cheaper waypoints.
- I hate Guild Wars 1 lore.
- Because she has breasts.

I did not vote for Evon Gnashblade because:

- If I wanted to see a brief glimpse of Guild Wars 1 content, I would play Guild Wars 1.
- I rarely buy Black Lion Keys.
- I do not like his story.

Gnash lost; now I drink your tears.

#TeamKiel

I voted for Ellen Kiel because:

-She is human (and a “she”)

I did not vote for Ellen Kiel because:

-Wait, didn’t I?

I did not vote for Evon Gnashblade because:

- Really? Who in the world would vote for a stupid charr (besides those furry pervs)?

Gnash lost; haha, loser.

#TeamKiel

Martin Kerstein.3071:

I for example play a charr, so I was obviously on #TeamGnashblade.

You sir are in my black list now >:-(

What are you talking about? Sorry, I’ve been busy celebrating Ellen Kiel victory

Phantom.8130:

i’m curious what the maintenance will actually do. i mean, 6 hours is a long time for a game that doesn’t go down for more than a couple minutes at a time. i can’t help but imagine the Anet employees logging onto our characters, dressing them up in embarrassing outfits, putting them in perverted poses, and taking hundreds of screenshots of it all. then wiggling a few wires at HQ and blowing a bit of dust off everything, so they wouldn’t technically be lying about doing maintenance, and turning everything back on.

Maintenance? Do you think is only click on the restart button?

I don’t know what you understand for "maintenance " but in online games, that always take a while (they always said 6 hour but it may take less or way more than that).

Thank Grenth this game is not as full of furries as I was afraid

Human chick (or whatever her name is) FTW!

Actually, both are pretty much the same. They both can tank like hell and do tons of AoE dmg.

I only play necro and I’ve been a lot of WvW in the last week and with zerker gear I can take camps by myself in seconds and without problems. With soldier gear, I can tank big (and I mean BIG) zergs.

For engi, never tried it myself but I can tell they sure can tank and they have a lot of AoE.

In WvW is not about how much dmg you can do (unless you solo camps and roam alone), but who has the bigger zerg so, the best thing IMO, is survival and AoE (as necro you have wells, marks, DS #4 and #5 and plague form).

And no, necros aren’t the flavor of the month, that was the last month and they already were nerfed (but only in PvE and sPvP).

Anet? Leaving something unfinished? How dare you?

XD

/15charrs

I didn’t know about this but still, that will not make any difference.

Let the sPvP player like the game, those are the only players that really matters to Anet anyways (Devs words, not mine).

Dark Path? Oh yes, dark path… sorry, I used to think it was called “miss”

Mhh… At the southsun crap I was playing at 10 fps when fighting the karka queen. I suppose my game client will crash every single time a big event happen -.-

Fernling.1729:

Pretty cool screenshot. It’s too bad there is an ugly cow in it.

Viking Jorun.5413:

In other news, I’ll be wearing my Guild Wars 2 t-shirt at PAX this year.

The Front:
“I’m not here alone.”

The Back"
“…My friends are still culling.”

Guild Wars 2.

Oh god, so much win

Makai.3429:

As for the UI topic: It would be nice if Anet could at least allow us to disable personal story and living story menus. The only reason I want to finish personal story is to remove that obstruction.

+1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 to this

I really hate those, especially the ones relates to temporal events like the living story.

1. Have tried PVP? If not, why?
Yes.

2. Tried it and liked it or not?
Nope, I don’t like it.

3. Are active PVP players?
Nope.

4. Done both WvW and PVP: which do you prefer and why?
WvWvW, easy to complete PvE dailies there. Also, the very few rewards are useful unlike PvP soulbound hevy armor for my necro -_-

And? Fear was exclusive to necros and thieves got a better one.

I don’t understand why someone would be surprised for thieves having better torment than any other class. I said it when torment was announced, thieves (and mesmers) will always get better access to mechanism supposedly “exclusive” to necros.

From a Dev point of view: Necromancer are not allowed to have both dmg and survival at the same time. That’s reserved to guardians/warrior/mesmers/elementalists/thieves and if they are in the mood, for rangers and engineers but NEVER for necromancers.

Be glad to have DS (and Dhummfire) at all. That’s more than enough to beat any other class, even if they have ridiculous high dmg and survival skills at the same time.

sheelzi.5803:

I haven’t been able to get this to work during my session of WvWvW tonight. Is anyone else having difficulty with this ?

I always had problems with this to the point I used to think it was bugged but last night work every time so no, no problems here.

HitmanX.6489:

Now you guys are being completely inconsiderate to tPvP.. you know.. the players who actually have “skill” with their classes.

O-O? This must be the most stupid thing I ever read in this or any other forum.

JonathanSharp.7094:

I say play it a while and then see how you feel.

We did a big set of improvements to Necro recently, and we want to make sure we don’t over improve their defense capabilities.

We want to shift more focus to death shroud throug main hand skills, but, again, we don’t want to do this too fast, ESPECIALLY with a major Pax tournament right around the corner.

So death shroud gains may not be as high as you would like, but we’ll keep monitoring them and looking at further improvements to make.

I say play it a while and then see how YOU feel.

Seriously, try the necromancer for more than 5 seconds and beyond the place you play it (implying you have ever played with a necromancer).

Go and solo one of your OP Champions in PvE and see how useful is DS against them (lets see how long you survive with only 2 dodges and no other reliable defense against Horace or the Krait Witch).
Go to a dungeon a see how useful is DS when you have a zerker warrior/guardian/mesmer in your team (implying you don’t play with noobs).
Go to WvW and see how long you last against a zerg.
Go to PvP and roll a MM, no need for more there.

Then comeback here and tell us to play it for a while and see how we feel -_-

Umut.5471:

Btw, if we cry enough we’ll get another buff in 2 weeks guys. We have been nerfed to hell because of these crying players. This is how things work in gw2.

Nope, that only work if you are war/mes/guardian/thief/ele. Maybe it work if you are ranger or engi but never if you are necro -_-

Thx for the nerfs Anet, you spare me US$100

ARE YOU kittenING KIDDING ME?

The human is bugged or something so it’s impossible.
The charr can’t win but neither be defeated (I think it’s supposed to be easy if you have the skill from the human but we already said that one is impossible).
But the Norn? This one is the only “hard” in the right way. Yes it take time and maybe luck but it’s possible without cheats.

Edit: If not bugged, the human is easy and with her skill, the charr is beyond easy.

Shhh! People will start whining about how hard is to kill a necro now and how OP we are.

HOLY SKRITT!!! kitten IS WRONG WITH YOU ANET!!! STOP OP US >:-/

I’m still shocked nobody complain before about those traits not being removed in the last patch.
But think about it. Anything a little more useful will bring even more complains about the necro being OP.

Well its definitely Mesmers.

Good, more content nobody will bother to do in one month after release.

The last update bring new airs to this game, shame it didn’t last. Oh well, time to move on I guess (anyone know a non-kittenty-wow-clone game?).

Seriously???

All this time whining about CD being useless and now whining about being OP?
Good Grenth, now I see why many people complain about complainers, there is no way to make you happy, jeez.

Well, this implying those are legitimate complains and not a bunch of stupid kids too used to see necros as easy preys upset because they can’t kill a necro with 1 single skill.

right click – destroy?

That’s why I don’t give a kitten about legendaries/fancy items.

ALL GAMES have the weird idea of all player paying exactly the same amount of money to play and yet, reward only one with a “exclusive” item regardless of skills or time spent.

Nope, my beautiful necro is the only thing I need to look at and therefore, I could care less what others wear.

If some people only get armor/weapons to impress other regardless of cost/time, well, that’s their problem, it doesn’t affect me in any way.

Happy? I haven’t been so excited and happy since… wait, I haven’t been so excited and happy ever (speaking of GW2).

The GW2 necro destroy all my excitement about this game (along with all the bugs) and the game developer ignoring us was disheartening but now with this boost (as I said before, we aren’t OP, we just finally have more weapons to fight), the fixes (minions finally work) and some other details (the right-click fix, the AoE loot) I’m finally willing (and happy) to support this game once again.

As soon as I have some money, I’m going to buy gems right away (something I refused to do for a long time)

Marcus Greythorne.6843:

it’s called profession in GW2.

Sorry, I couldn’t resist :P ^^

Lmao

daimasei.4091:

For those who hasn’t figure out yet, they removed several traits and that’s why we get this message every time we lvl up (every time we gain a level, the game “update” or “search” our traits and those “removed” are actually disabled and hence the message).

For those who hasn’t figure out yet, they removed several traits and that’s why we get this message every time we lvl up (every time we gain a level, the game “update” or “search” our traits and those “removed” are actually disabled and hence the message).

No, not OP, just at the same level Wars/Guards/Mes/Thieves.

The BIG difference is: Wars/Guards/Mes/Thieves has been in the top tier for to long, they become the noobs choice. So when they are unable to kill a necro, they intermediately start raging about it.

And as many people already say, we had to work harder and learn our profession better to survive so any boost in our hands, is OP in other’s eyes.
Now they have to learn something beyond the same no-brain-1-skill build they probably use all the time and of course, is easy to whine about necros being OP.

Phenn.5167:

Don’t know if anyone else has picked up on this, but Minions are 100-times more responsive now. As in, the very second you start your AA (or any other skill) they go running to the target. Target switching is just as responsive.

Very pleased with this little nugget on top of everything else we got!

EDIT: Like, minions are legitimately fixed. It’s crazy.

Now you mentioned it, I run MM all the time so I didn’t pay attentions but I think you are correct. I just hope is not our imaginations or just a beneficial bug.

In other news, I did a fast test with 30/10/0/0/30 and OMFG! DS in now the true meaning of power.

DS#4 + DS#5 = AoE Doom and underwater DS#1 is beyond OP

Since other professions has been OP for a long time (I was bored last night so I tried a mesmer and after playing with the traits, I found they do a kittenload of damage just like wars/guardians), I think we deserved such power (we are very powerful now but we can’t do anything other OP professions can’t) but unfortunately, I expect a mega-nerf (necros aren’t Anet’s favorite profession and it takes 1 single mesmer complaining to screw us all).

For those saying Necros are OP now (specially on PvP), remember, others classes have changes too and they are trying new things.
Just wait until good players learn their new builds and then come a say we are OP.

All changes are pretty meh but at least, no nerfs for us.

Also, the new DS#5 seems to be fun to use and add a boost to our DS#4 (more AoE is always welcome IMO).

The heavy and the medium one aren’t that ugly but the light, OMG! It burn my eyes.

I will not spend money on that crap but then again, all skin on RNG aren’t worth of my money so, who cares if the put thing on the gem store or in kittenty boxes.

Also, I will not support new bugs, we have enough already.

And about supporting the game, the day Anet fix all the events bugged I will gladly buy the 8k gems pack and another one when they make a proper skill balance (and if they add a lfg tool or an event monitor I will buy another one).

Bravo Anet, you did it again >:-(

Who cares what’s best, play whatever you like and laugh at those poor kitten doing what others tell them to do (I bet they really enjoy playing the way others want).

Sorry, he’s to busy fighting for the ecosystem in the Akk Wilds.

Nope! Mesmers are.

Didn’t read all but warriors are OP because is the most played profession in all games. Most noobs/newbs are unable to learn anything beyond 1-key-smashing and warriors are the perfect example of that and therefore, they are perfect to attract that kind of players (if games were designed to attract skilled players, that game will go offline very soon due lack of profits). Also, being able of kill anything with 1 single hit give those players the illusion of being good players, A.K.A, the so-called pros (very bad players who think the contrary).
And since those kind of players are the more willing to spend money in a game, well, you can see why warrios are OP.

Eladriel.7295:

Nope, don’t sound fun at all. Which is why I don’t play game with perma death. I play games for fun not to be stressed.

Oh yes, is very stressful.

I only do it because I get obsessed with the survivor title in GW1 but it shouldn’t be forced on other persons.

Also, I don’t think a HM in GW2 can work. In GW1 we could lure, mobs didn’t re-spawn, we had henchmen/heroes and all that allow a lot of tactics.
In GW2 we have endless mobs re-spawning in seconds, OP Champions/Bosses with ridiculously HP and 1 or 2 attacks and our only tactic is dodging or let other person take all the dmg and then brag about how good we are for not dying.

Hardcore mode in GW2 would mean mobs with higher dmg, a kittenload of HP and tons of them re-spawning without end so no, I like to play trying to avoid death but increasing the difficulty in this game will make thing tedious, boring and really stressful.
