Its definitely not dark enough, would be nice to have a proper use for torches :p

stealth doesn’t make you immune to damage, endure pain still takes damage from conditions.

Guardians are a bit crazy though.

Yes, but they can still heal during these phases.

You can’t compare it to prenerf mistform, which was completly uninteruptible in ANY way. Yes I think we should probably have gotten a little more in return, but the premise that the other classes have totally free heals is not true.

Our damage isn’t low in melee, if you sacrifice everything for the hammer spec.

For survivability you just need the vigor on crits, so you can dodge for days.

Then go lightning hammer spec and destroy everything.

It heals for quite a lot, water trident is fine.

thanks! totally forgot about that … it’s kinda lame for soloing bosses (vuln is also 50% duration and blind is 10% effective) .. If these effects could scale to number of players around, that would be nice (kind of like defiant)!

So with just a handful of people around the champions become immune to vulnerability/weakness/blind? O_o

I’m assuming they meant scales to current levels, but tbh, maybe that would stop some of the zerging :P

I’d like to see each champ drop on a cooldown so you have to roam through many zones to keep up the champ train.

Being able to customise our interface colours would be nice for everyone.

The changes did help some people, so they are at least working on it

Just report a bug if a bug happens, why are you posting in GD?

Raxus Prime.4218:

is there a good spot or chain of events in frostgorge

Anything with champions/legendaries

sanctum sprint and aspect arena are still in, though on a rotation, and that other one. The others will come back with their holidays so it’s not so bad.

The ascended items don’t cost that many laurels there are still lots left if you don’t have too many alts

Mostly using mine for xp boosters and dyes for my new alt

Well it was alright, I just had better things to do, also ended up running arah so many times before finishing the story so it felt weird :p

Not everyone is good enough to play without vit/toughness, I like being able to stay alive.

I’m enjoying the living story stuff, since I have lots of work to do it comes out at a rate I can only just complete in time, which is just right

Yeah I haven’t completed the personal story either, I just can’t stand instanced stuff without other players.

Use blind more.

anet are working on it, There’s just too many people in one place :p

Doggie.3184:

It just teaches us that voting is a bad waste of money. Kinda like RL.

Yeah I can’t help but see some kind of deeper parody of real life voting in this whole event :p

48% of people unhappy about the result…check :p

I like playing alts

Desmond.5396:

Hey if we can’t dye our weapons this is the next best thing :P

This;;

trololol anet, thankyou XD

Dammit :/ I don’t give a crap about gw1 lore, I want more gw2 lore :/

But there is aggro, you just need to know how to get the aggro of a given mob type.

+1 No reason not to have a few tools to help the rp community, would be nice to have a character biography too

It’s better than it was. The champ changes might get people to spread out more too, if you’re limited to one champ chest per unique champ per day (like the zone boss chests)

If you want agro you need to learn the specific mob types agro mechanics, some always attack whoever has highest toughness, some attack the weakest in the party, some love to attack anyone ressing someone, etc etc

I am so happy to see Kiel winning, Thaumanova will be awesome

the enemy ai really does need work

Malevil.2104:

I’m realy hapy that Kiel is winning. Face harsh truth, fractal involving epic battle of 6 gods would fail hard, like Zaithan fight version 2 … Epic expetations = epic fail.

Plus, almost noone who’s still playing GW2 right now has any sentimental connection to Abaddon. Compare that to the experience of pre-nerf thaumanova a heck of a lot more active players had and you’ve got yourselves a winner.

So all the people I see with the God Walking Among Mere Mortals title are just figments of my imagination? Who knew?

“almost noone”

but my NA friends play on the EU server with me fine… T_T I don’t see why we can’t guest to NA servers when na players can home on eu servers without issue.

That’s because their characters are saved on the EU data center. It doesn’t matter where the players are it matters where the character data is.

the data is still travelling from the servers in eu to na, can someone that understands networking explain why this is insurmountable?

but my NA friends play on the EU server with me fine… T_T I don’t see why we can’t guest to NA servers when na players can home on eu servers without issue.

Vote asura -that is all.

The event chains tell little stories, just stick around and listen to the npcs.

You’re still getting extra gold from every gold drop… And have been getting up til now. We don’t even know what the champ rewards are going to be.

Why are people complaining when nobody knows what it’s being changed to? Complain AFTER you know you’re worse off than now… You could be making more money.

I love the combat itself but the randomly lost skills/utilities (the only weapons you can’t use underwater should be the gunpowder using ones) really make me a sad asura.

Never had a problem with the difficulty though, the underwater abilities seem more damaging across the board in my experience – but completely destroying your build (well necromancers T_T) is unacceptable, either give us a different trait spec for underwater, or give us the skills/utils.

Some of the omissions don’t even make sense, like, I can use my elixir gun 5 underwater, though It requires me to manually aim it at a solid object – which is awesome as I need to be very aware of my surroundings and possible impact points.

I’d be fine with that for all other GTAoEs

Neural.1824:

stuff

Yes I love gathering materials for stuff too, but you didn’t gather the minerals for a titan on your own. I built my first myrmidon from scratch, it was great.

I’ve farmed up half my exotics (and all my deadspace fit), I didn’t farm up a legendary (and I bought the parts for my proteus). Do you see what I mean?

I would call anyone that tried to build a capital solo insane :P

Neural.1824:

emikochan.8504:

This is being changed next patch, please wait for that before whining.

So you actually believe that Arenanet is going to implement this new change without gimping it to the point that people will still run right past champions?

I said, please wait for that before whining, because whining before you even know what is changing, is pointless.

Also you don’t just get the mats, you get gold from anything you looted that wasn’t the mats, which you can use to buy more mats.

If you want to grind every last little piece you’re insane.

In other games you couldn’t get a legendary solo either.

I don’t see why anet don’t just remove aqua breathers and say the oxygen content of the water in tyria is breathable.

IndigoSundown.5419:

In other MMO’s, the only valuable loot I remember was the BoP drops from dungeon or raid bosses, or an extremely infrequent epic drop from raid trash. These drops were replaced in GW2 with tokens. In the other games, I might get loot piece x on the first run, or never. In GW2, I can get the chest piece I want after 6 dungeon paths. Slower than being lucky over there, but a sure thing here.

Again, in those other MMO’s, the stuff that dropped in the open world was usually vendor trash. The one exception I remember was cloth, that could be sold. All other crafting mats had to be harvested. GW2 open world drops are better than those in most other games I’ve played.

Imho, Magic Find was a terrible idea. It was/is a tax on farming. Also, in conjunction with rapid spawns of large numbers of higher-level-than-you mobs, coupled with the ability to tag virtually all of them, MF allowed people to get a taste of better drops (quantity and quality) than I’ve ever seen in any online game. That quantity and quality of drops from event farming with MF raised expectations so that anything else looks bad.

QFE , the loot in gw2 is way better than every other game, just look at what you are actually getting.

When I played wow it took months to get geared – sometimes longer, look at headmaster’s charge, the only survival staff pre raiding 1/200 dropchance..

and there was no crafting option, no trading post. It was dungeons for BoP gear or nothing.

In gw2 you can work towards the best gear without rng. The skins are optional.

The manual allows you to retrait in the field (though you only need the cheapest one) .. I think, better test this :P

Remember you can make any character you want and go to your capital, find the asura gate to lions arch, and go to any other capital so you can go to any starting area

The main thing I love about gw2 is that the game doesn’t change at max level. So just do fun things forever, don’t expect some massive paradigm shift at 80.

Still the traits and exotics you get at 80 are very powerful.

A good guild will ofcourse make any game fun. Fly safe

Empressium.5482:

NerfWars2, nuff said

You have to nerf things that are overpowered.

You can’t? I thought it was just level limited, that’s a shame.

This is being changed next patch, please wait for that before whining.

I’ve never had any issue with the drops. You don’t have to farm, just relax and take your time.

I dislike the low number of skills/weapons.

I am very much looking forward to anet expanding them.

@Parn, there’s a mod for that lock mouselook

If I wanted elements from other games I’d take the item destruction on death from EVE online, so crafting mattered

You can level in wvw though, crafting is something people do while levelling :p

Wish my ele had a rifle. Lightning bolts are never wrong.

If there’s a new class it’d likely use heavy armour though…

Also a weapon only 1 class can use… doubt it.

there aren’t any single ally target skills, you have to click on someone to see their boons/conditions though, if you are cleansing them.
