Guild Wars 2

Now I may actually try the elixir gun. Never bothered to before.

I have started using Battering Ram with my pistol/shield engineer. I’m really surprised at just how good it is. If I’m fighting a melee opponent, he spends most of his time just running or trying to leap at me. Then I knock him back again. Combined with the shield, this skill is fantastic.

Haven’t played on a patch day before, but I’m off today. I know in swtor, playing on patch day is something of a running joke, as they have server crashes and generally an emergency patch to fix the patch.

I expect most guild players to disappear from the game. They’ll be on guild missions. Those of us who pug will not be having fun.

I would like the offhand pistol glue shot to be exchanged for a burst dual-pistols shot similar to the Thief. Maybe boost pistol damage a slight amount.

The Talents are what really need fixed. Some of our 30 Talents are equal to other classes 10 or 20 Talents.

That’s about it.

Maybe just merge some of the emptier servers. I could see taking the bottom 10 and merging them into 3 or 4 servers.

Then again, this will be really tricky to handle, as people will lose character names and maybe guild names.

Seems like a cool idea. Not sure about the shield or greatsword. When I hear duelist, I think rapiers or pistols.

Thanks all. I was mainly worried since so many builds seem to have a 10 divider (especially 30/30/20s).

Especially for Engineer, but really for any class, is it always better to get a 10 in a Trait? some of the 5s seem like they are worth dipping into for, especially for something like the Toughness boost.

Heck no!

There aren’t even any default african faces. Kind of a shame. They need too many 12-year-old caucasian girl faces.

More ideas:

More regular clothes that can be skinned to armor.

More weapon skins (six shooters and western rifles would be great).

I kind of thought rifle might go better with tool kit, but your build does look pretty awesome.

This is just a personal list of stuff I would buy, and I think would likely sell very well overall.

Pilot’s Hat that is already made, but as a Medium armor skin. Better yet, available to Light, Medium, and Heavy.

More hairstyles. A lot of the base hairstyles are just plain bad.

More armor skins in general, and especially some non-trenchcoat Medium Armors. PLEASE do this soon!!!!

Armor skins that work with all three ratings: Light, Medium, and Heavy.

Rapiers. Even as a skin for Swords.

18th Century Duelist style clothes. Because they are awesome.

I am kind of surprised that anet thinks it will make money selling town clothes. I know I will never buy them. I would probably not even buy them if I could in game with game gold.

If anet was smart, it would make armor skins, even ones with level 1 stats. I think that would sell much better. Lord knows, if the pilot’s hat was a medium armor skin, I and probably 50% of all engineer players would buy it.

Is there a good build where I’m going to spend 90% of my time in tool kit?

Do minor adjustments to engineer and necromancer traits to bring them in line with the traits of other classes.

MMOs always end up changing to what the hardcore wants. Every single time.

If you could only play one character, no more, what race/class combo would it be?

You can’t make a good linux client. Which distro? Which download format? What about every 6 months or so when everything is updated for all the major distros, which will probably break this game?

And worst of all: GPL v3. No commercial company in its right mind will allow their product anywhere near this mess.

Most hammers look awful, which is a shame.

I think most thief players do it because it looks awesome, moves fast, and has cool double daggers and double pistols. Put a thief up against a guardian or shield/pistol engineer and tell me the thief is OP.

Warrior is what I’m doing. Looks more realistic, without flashy blue lights. Also, lots of movement and holds.

I would love a karate guy.

Medium armor that looks half decent, and doesn’t have a trenchcoat attached.

Yet another reason not to play a Guardian.

I want to run sword and shield. I know it’s not optimal for either guardian or warrior. I want to do a decent amount of dps, if possible, but also be pretty hard to bring down. Which class do you recommend?
Which talents would benefit this weapon set, also?

If I go warrior, weapon swap will be either rifle or longbow. If guardian, I’m not sure.

One of the biggest problems with PvP in this game is you can look at another character and pretty much know what he can do, just by his gear.

I strongly dislike the whole Laurels/Daily system. Way too much grind for what was promised to be a “low-grind to grind-free” game.

Karate monk. Maybe with options for gloves and staves. I would say kungkitten but it’s apparently a dirty word.

Or better yet, let my thief wear light armor. Soooo many good-looking light armor sets!

I hate dodging. I just don’t do it unless it is for the Daily. Totally stupid mechanic.

I’m guessing there’s a mesmer build that would work. I’m not too keen on that class, but it may be the only real option. Dagger/Dagger elementalist kind of works, but it’s too “magic” for me.

Not sure why classes such as the thief or even guardian can’t wear light (or medium) armor. I know the stats would be lower, but they certainly wouldn’t be better.

As is, if I hit my tab to target the monster right in front of me that is hitting me, there is a good likelihood I’ll suddenly shoot some wandering moa in the background and have it join the fight. Please fix this!

I would love to have a cloak at low level. They seem to be aimed at high level chars only, though.

Warriors are awesome. I recommend you check out the wiki and various builds and read up on them. You’ll become a much better player very quickly.

I think the current system works great. Please don’t add more skills.

I checked and I made sure I was logged out of accounts. I still can’t log into the forums via Firefox. I also updated to Firefox 18.01 and tried again, with no luck.

I plan to run a guardian who alternates between Hammer and Sword/Torch. Which traits do I need? Also, should I do 5 points in one, then 5 points in another, etc.? Or max out a certain trait line all the way before touching anything else?

Forgot to add, this is with Firefox 17.0.1

If I make a Hammer Guardian, which stat should I be looking for on my hammer? Toughness, Condition, or Power?

What should I get for weapon bonus? Toughness or Power? Or is hammer unviable. It sometimes seems that way.

I can’t log into the gw2 forums with Firefox, even after turning off adblock and noscript. Not sure why, but it has never worked. Win7-64, if that helps. I have to use IE.

This thread would be a hell of a lot more useful if you actually said what “RNG” means.

Flamethrowers are already kind of bad for dps. Will the upcoming AoE nerf make them pretty much unusable?

Please add an option to turn off the Overflow pop-ups (both the initial “You are on an Overflow server” and the “Do you want to transfer” boxes. Maybe have them as seperate options, but both are really annoying.
