Guild Wars 2

the other eles look like sentient things, i like the consistency

Asura ele gets radiation field, very nice if you have no other way to apply poison and weaknesss in AOE

All reses only work on downed don’t they?

I use elixir R res if a party is having trouble, but yes the cooldowns are very long, thankfully elixir R has a short cooldown utility (stun break and 100% endurance, very very useful for living longer than anyone else :P)

The other resses should at least be signets like in GW1 so you can attach a passive effect. The resses that get used all have extra effects, like the banner for example.

What’s this about super elixir ressing??

Incoming bans :p

You don’t get anything extra past 100% :p

I can’t think of any zones that don’t let you complete the entire daily.

If you don’t want to farm laurels, get the gear normally. What’s wrong with playing an MMO for a year to get something anyway, coming from EVE that’s nothing.

Interesting Would be nice to see more events and stuff to do there, I really love the aesthetic.

They need to be researched first. And shiren, they patrol quite large areas, they’re designed to require a bit of coordination with map chat to find them quickly.

I am enjoying it greatly.

wvw is supposed to be unbalanced, it’s not serious pvp :p

Engineer was a lot easier for me to level than Mesmer, but then my main is an Ele, stance dancing for life :p

’m too busy playing piano on my kits.

and this is why I love playing engi

haha come on, it was overpowered as hell, you shouldn’t be able to facetank as a ’zerker.

and Altruism runes, shrug Nice party support :p

It’s a great weapon when you don’t need to move much, like if you’re tanking :p

But now when I heal in fire I get 7 stacks of might… hmms

technically a 33% nerf to RTL :P Good patch for me though, funny I keep switching back to air with 4 seconds left on my rtl cd, going to take a little getting used to.

I love the new design hated the old one, so characterless.

Judging from the text its a 100% chance every 5 seconds, which does mean arcane abilities will guarantee vigor, Or is it still 33% but hidden?

Millions downloading at once, have some patience.

These items are mainly earned through guild content, we included them on the laurels vendor to give players the opportunity to earn them if they are not in a guild but they are priced high to encourage players to try and accomplish them via the guild content.

So sucks to be in a small guild or choose not to be guilded, eh? Nice attitude Anet.

You chose not to do the content, you can’t complain that you don’t get the content’s rewards.

There are usually way too many people in the zones :P But I’ve not seen many server crashes due to the awesome overflows.

I like the realism tbh, they removed the gameyness of tanks, so why not the gameyness of dual attacks.

Maybe the thief trait of having the 3rd skill being a dual weapon skill might be cool though.

Why do people choose names they don’t want :p

Leviathan, there has up to now been NO content for large groups, is it really unreasonable to have some for large groups?

Nuka Cola.8520:

seen it when it had 303 views. His review was solid but he clearly haven’t played the game long enough to notice there’s no end game and other than wvw there’s nothing to do/

GW2 was ALWAYS advertised has having the same stuff to do at max level as you did while levelling, why do so few people know this -_-

I hate games that randomly change the focus of the game just because you leveled too many times.

Still never encountered DR, people need to chill out with the farming :p

What marnick. My guild is us and eu, the us members have no real lag, transatlantic is about 150ms, which is totally fine in an mmo.

Intercontinental play is not restricted in gw2, just guesting, for some weird reason.

This sounds amazing

The flame tooth attack should trigger in melee range.

It’s random. Confirmation bias is a thing.

I prefer Frostgorge Sound, all the dailies, claw of jormag, events everywhere, very good harvesting. Tbh every dragon zone is good

Expect nothing, never be disappointed

that said i really hope for some bug fixes, I’m not bored of the current content yet so the main issue for me is bugs.

@cesmode, jps can give you rares and exotics, just very low chance (like dragon chests hah)

Don’t know if this has been discussed before or not (search suggests no). Anyway, wouldn’t a taunt mechanic be useful in this game, even with no trinity? How often do you see a downed player being chewed up by a mob, where the allies have nothing to do other than try to rez faster than the damage?

You could have interesting strategies, like kiting mobs into traps, bouncing the mobs around, etc. To me, it feels like it would add a bit more order to the chaos, without having to resort to the trinity model (as no profession can stand being the sole target indefinitely).

What do you think?

No, there are no tanks in Guild Wars 2. Taunting is a tanking ability.

And I think the downed player’s “aggro” or in this game it is called “hate” is halved, but I could be mistaken.

Some mobs don’t target downed, some really hate downed and some hate ressers, the agro for each enemy type is something that needs learning

There are so many controls in this game a taunt would be pointless.

And because devs decided for the earth’s skills to be combo finishers instead of combo fields, let’s be creative here:
- Unsteady Ground would be a chained skill. If you activate it the second time, the ground would blow for a blast finisher and some damage (and launching foes to all directions? xD).

They could make it the functional opposite of Mesmer’s Temporal Curtain: Cripple when you pass through it, detonate it for an AoE knockback. Fun If Mesmers can pull me off keep walls, I want to be able to blast them off in return.

Use conjured earth shield, enjoy pulling groups off walls.

Interesting setups ^^

I use:

WSAD =movement/strafe
1-5 = weapon skills
Q, E, R = utilities (i played league of legends before this, sue me :p)
mouse4 = heal
mouse5 = dodge
ctrl+m4, ctrl+m5, ctrl+E, ctrl+R = class abilities
ctrl+Q = elite
X = look behind, never use it outside of screenshots :P

Actually as a long time MMO healer i kinda like the lack of a “healer” i play a guardian and yes i add so many buffs in a group you need a second screen to see them, i ward i heal i regen but im not a “healer” if the warrior charges into 20 mobs and dies its his fault for being an idiot not my fault because i couldnt heal 5 times his health pool in 0.005 seconds

People are used to DPS being all reward and no responsibility, they get agro its the tanks fault, they die its the healers fault now you screw up its YOUR fault no one elses
i like it

Took the words right out of my mouth

tbh the problem isn’t the system, it’s the encounters, they could be a lot more complex.

MORE emotes, Less out of character contemporary dances, I can’t even press /dance on my sylvari without raging.

More town clothes and some that you could get in normal play (save the really good stuff for the gem store)

I agree with head armour being usable cross profession aesthetically. My Guardian friend really wants the Asura goggles.

Sigh, everyone should just have their own cap, it wouldn’t even be slightly overpowered.

I don’t really have any issue seeing the important attacks, Best to just concentrate on seeing through the cloud.

Channel your inner shaolin monk.

I make my own goals :p Though tommorow’s patch is going to be interesting. I really hope there are class bug fixes, I have a feeling quite a few people might quit if the bugs from beta aren’t fixed after 6 months…

What does that even mean?

Damage for participation is based on your party’s damage, so in a group it’s a lot easier to tag things, especially if your build isn’t burst damage.

So mf is the same, but you miss a lot less tags.

But it’s not 200% value of the item Phira, it’s way less than the value of the item, It’s not “insane” It’s the same on all transactions. The only reason not to pay it is greed. Getting scammed is the risk you take when you try to get every penny and dodge the system.

Just like not paying insurance and you wrecking your car.

There is loads of immersion if you want it. Talk to the npcs.

If you don’t want immersion you don’t have to have it.

This is why I need a new processor T_T

Aoshi, all players use the same tp, all players on all servers.

There will be one that doesn’t care to max their profits.
