Guild Wars 2

try using spaces and also use variations of lettering like óáéí

there are 2 things that may help,

small UI and fast ground targeting

UI might help with it getting in the way and fast ground targeting should help with it casting at your feet.

did you put a sigil in there?.. cus that will make it soulbound..

and your post really added to the discussion..

here is the wiki on magic find

“Theorie how the loot system works”

It is known, that every type of loot you can get from a certain monster type, is stored in it’s own table. That means, if the table has been chosen (i will specify what that means later), the items in that table will be sorted by grade. The RNG starts at the rarest item, and checks if a random number is smaller than a certain threshold which reflects the rarity of the loot. The threshold is multiplied with the magic find value for monster loot and can be adjusted by other factors, e.g. by the level in the FOTM¹. The first item in the list, where the test succeeds, becomes the loot from that certain table. In most (or all?) tables, there is a “trash” item at the end which will be given if no item of higher rarity has been chosen. If the prescaler is to high, lower rarity items will become unlikely or even impossible to obtain.

great idea.. i see absolutely no reason for this not to happen

and as said would give a reason for them

would be good for running from crafting tables to the trading post

as they are now i see no one using them.. ever

to get the exact formula just head over to the mists use armor set with no runes

use burning – note tick damage
add one rune with condition damage the rinse and repeat
the work out the diffence by taking the first number from the second

then you will know x amount condition damage = x amount of damage

altho im sure u probly alread knew that

2 things will affect it..

enemy changes direction after you throw
you camera is not centered to the enemy that can cause it to miss

the amount is abit touchy atm

basically because with really high MF you can get lower drop rates this is due to the fact you are rolling on rarer items

here is the thread that discusses this

seems like the general consensus is dont get too much

why not just join the 5v5 rooms?

boom fixed

There aren’t really any 5v5 rooms, but there are several rooms that fluctuate between 2v3, 3v4, 4v4, 5v4, and 5v5.

I agree with the OP, it would be great to be able to just log on and play for half an hour in something other than hotjoin. Random vs random single match would be most excellent.

first too many then too little.. cant please all the ppl all the time..

altho i do see where you are coming from

i really like the “Random vs random single match would be most excellent.” suggestion and has been one of my wishes too but i would like to see them have an arena style match maybe. i mean the makers of the game have arena in there name, thats enough reason to implement it..

the test on paids messed it up for sure but that will return to normal after it ends and as Gallrvaghn said when they add the new match making system..

why not just join the 5v5 rooms?

boom fixed

How to identify gear with +Magic Find on it

Now—there are more ways to buff up your +Magic Find stat than just eating foods too. You can also obtain gear which has it on it. You can always tell which gear will have +Magic Find because it will have the prefix “Explorer” or “Travelers” on it.

Runes with +Magic Find on them (Reddit)
The following Runes/Sigils are the only ones in the game that provide a buff to your +Magic Find statistic. Couple them with proper gear as well as a Omnomberry Bar and you will have a significant boost to the point where you will see a noticeable increase to the amount of gold you earn from killing mobs.

Rune of the Noble
Rune of the Traveler
Rune of the Pirate
Rune of Scavenging
Sigil of Luck

YOU BED NOW!!!!!!

“opportunity cost” it will add a dynamic to the game.. yes you can insta cap that node but the risk is that you will be downed and lose the orb other team picks up scores..

it can go both ways

the opportunity is the insta cap
the cost is losing the orb to the other team

this will add strategy to the map

making them deliver to their own base is like sooooo boring and generic..

main problem i see with the OP’s solution is that he wants to use might for the change..
so your taking away raw damage and placing on a boon that some have alot less access to than other professions and the fact it isn’t up 100% of the time so when you dont have might up that swap in damage is not being appled.. if you can see where im coming from

so there is something to think about maybe?

if the pet cant get there by walking.. he will port to your side.. i’ve seen many times.. so the coding is there.. altho abit tricky for different situations..

Dahkeus.8243:

Ranger complaining about necro?

hope you wasn’t referring to me..

try updating the drivers on your graphics card.. helped me with a similar problem that made everything blank bar name plates on certain settings..

or try play with the quality settings see if it helps

can you interrupt the heal? and or use poison to reduce it?

Its definitely not OP… even in a 1v1 setting

so the golem is charging you and knocking you down… every 40 secs source

comparing the cooldown to other knockdown abilities

Line of Warding 40s
Ring of Warding 40s
Backbreaker 30s
Tremor 25s
Earthquake 45s
Gale 50s
source

as you can see other skills have alot less CD’s so i fail to see how the flesh golem is op..

you should be dodging that charge.. i admit it’s hard to see because you’ll be focusing on the necro..

im a ranger and my pet can do the exact same thing.. a knockdown every 40s
source

it’s still very low if you have any constant heal

im using signet of the wild and with my healing gear i get 137 heal each tick
the trait natural healing gives me 133 every 3s or so

so compared to them 30 is very low

if you were to replace it with healing stats, only if you have a constant heal, then you probably will get 30+ added to that heal and your main heal too..

if you can see where im coming from

its 30..

soon as i realized that i dropped the set

NinjaEd.3946:

100b isn’t that threatening, as most warriors just try to wing it and end up falling to their knees begging the other player to give them another month to learn. I watched my brother on his engineer take a full 100B channel (stun breaker was on cd) and he only got to about half hp. We then proceeded to picking the armor bits off the warrior as he tried limping away. Considering how quickly he died, I bet he was using berserker amulet. 100B warrior get easier to counter as days go on since most people just look online for some youtube hero build and disapoint themselves over and over…

Still nothing comes close to berserker HS thieves and how laughably easy it is to kill them.

Anyway I am done since no one can actually offer advice on it. The only thing I can think of doing is getting the sigil that removes boons on crit.

The only thing that has happened for me in this thread is one guy offering up false facts…. sad day. Rangers don’t’ get protection like Warriors do… lol. I will remember that for a while.

“if you were so good at getting him down to say 25%hp then why would you not wait and watch for his heal interrupt it so he cant heal for abit then burst him down..”

I did offer advice..

you get to hover just off the ground on it..

Edit: added link

only problem i see with this now thinking about it, if a warrior is immune to chilled, crippled, or immobilized for 8 seconds.. what damage will he do when there is nothing stopping from hacking away at you..

chill, cripple, and immobilize are the main counters..

also just thought.. what your asking for isnt condition immunity

your just basically asking for 8 secs of stability

this has happened to me when i first started playing… was really annoying.

the way I fell in was from the right hand side as you face the tent.. if its the same one.. i think it is..

any ways I had to wait for another player to solo it so the tent would reset.. was there about 1/2 an hour

as long as it helps the warrior become more viable then im all for it.. if however it makes them really op then no..

had a quick look..

could only find 1 trait that grants immunity to conditions on the engi

Automated Response

Become immune to conditions when health is below 25%

Notes
This trait does not remove conditions once your health falls below 25%, and existing conditions will continue to cause damage.
However, new conditions will not be applied once your health is below 25%.

well this is your base line to theory craft this idea on..

just take a full team of engi’s in that chain CC them into the ground maybe?

Erebus.7568:

don’t care for the reasoning since there is more then enough logical reason behind removing downed from pvp all together.

downed system got no place in pvp.

this mechanic actually adds to the depth of the gameplay..

promotes team play..

and in general stops it being a zerg fest so much..

Guild Wars 2 ?@GuildWars2
@coldviper_18 This is an “empty” maintenance-related launcher update. No new content is released with it. ^RD

https://twitter.com/GuildWars2

There you have it.

Way to go, ArenaNet.

It’s good that some of your players are doing your job for you, and posting your info on your own forums for you.

You do realize that 1) not everyone is on Facebook/Twitter/Whatever and 2) it makes more sense to look for information about Guild Wars 2 on guildwars2.com, right?

or even just put the links on the luncher… it’s not that hard..

It may be easy to build a pc but getting the right connectors is alot harder..

like making sure the cpu has the right socket for the motherboard
making sure the gpu is PCI or AGP

you can use websites that will show if they are compatible to help if you have trouble..

just wanted to point that out as if you know how to build one already you kinda forget new people to the trade might mis order parts with the wrong connection.. I did first time buying a cpu

Verenhimo.3296:

Half of these people we’re afk and the other half was mostly just you picking on other rangers, I don’t think I really saw any actual duel gameplay and when it was it was like you versus a rifle warrior who just stood there facetanking you..

not one person was dueling you really most looked afk as Veren said..

but I would like to add that was some nice damage output there..

@Vanthian Sounds like that ranger was using a very similar build to mine, a survival build..

should a 1 v bunker be easy? no!
should it be possible? yes!

as you said it wasn’t easy.. but you also said it wasn’t that hard.. so that seem about right..

would you expect to down a bunker guardian or bunker ele in the same time?

yes rangers have more regen.. warriors have more armor..
only durations for protection are 2s, 3s, 4s and 5s.
2 are from traits the 2s and 5s and the other
2 are from runes

there are only 2 +15% protection duration runes in the game

so at most you can extend the duration by 1.5s at most and by doing that you gimp your build just for the 2 +15% durations..

Quote “Vanthian” Edit: The fact that I could pull off multiple 100 blades burst combo’s on him and he would always fall for it shows that it was not his skill that keep him alive. It was his protection traits and regen. Without that he might had to actually use a little skill to live."

or because he knew he had specced to take damage he could of been saving those dodges for later.. I know I do..

ahh so his build kept him alive.. did he put that together? is part of the “skill” knowing how to spec?

if you were so good at getting him down to say 25%hp then why would you not wait and watch for his heal interrupt it so he cant heal for abit then burst him down..

to me it sounds like you have always beaten rangers because we were/are underpowered in so many ways I bet you just expect him to go down without a fight..

to me sounds like he out played you.. cus you died.. he didnt..

it’s looking alright from my point of view but there is one trait i would swap out

skirmishing II sharpened edges, i can see you crit chance on the calc its low but there is no gear on there, so is your crit chance high enough for it to be worth while?

even if your crit chance is high, you said you are mainly using shortbow.. that can apply bleeds fast as long as you flank them..
so you already have the ability to stack bleeds reliably.. why need a trait that only procs on chance for something you can already do?

I would say pets prowess (+30% on pet crits) is another good choice.. but if your pets are dying alot in dungeons then maybe the..

trappers defense ( Create a spike trap while reviving an ally) could be handy in dungeons (havnt tested tho)

tune it to your needs

could be tested with a ranger easily, just send the pet to help on an event and make sure you don’t do any damage and see if you get any credit..

could be tested with a necro altho I don’t know how controllable your minions are.

also if you are getting the credit for the kill then I can see no reason why it wouldn’t count the damage done by a minion..

the only reason I can see it not counting is if you aren’t doing x amount of damage required

Agreed, but I would still feel a whole lot better if ANet would comment saying it is counting properly. Regardless, it should show up in the log.

/agreed what point is the combat log if i cant see 30-40% of my damage..

I can see that what you are trying to do is not the easiest of tasks..

If you have to use the “play now” button so you dont get the “this server is full” error that takes an age to pop up,
you end up being ported to the dueling servers 70% of the time.. very frustrating..

I just leave re-enter hit “play now” get taken to exact same server lol.. after third time
I browse the rooms manually to find a high population.. only to have the pvp browser freeze up until it can pop up the “this server is full” message"

I really like the suggestion of tabs in the pvp browser to help clean it up..

please sort this soon as it is very frustrating

ask them to delete mail from hearts and other ingame mail.. I think I read you can only have 10 max messages from players but the ingame mail from hearts ect has alot bigger max number so this can cause confusion as to the max slots for mail..

that and wait a few hours for lag spikes..

hope it works out

IceBlink.4317:

I’m just wondering if anyone has found any method of measuring your characters’ heights against each other, other than finding a static NPC, measuring all your characters’ heights against it, screenshot all your characters from character select, and playing with resizing to estimate the height compared to said static NPC?

Sadly, it seems arenanet gave us no way of comparing our characters’ heights as the character select screen automatically resizes all racial male and female heights to the same height, haha.

I don’t think this was on their minds when developing the game.. :P

pretty much what xanto said..

you do not have to have a preset group to win at all.. I have 158 tourny wins all completely from pugs..
altho there are strategies being discussed before the match and we communicate though out the game..

it really depends on your set up professions/builds/plan..

find a role that you can do well

bunker, roamer, support ect then just try find semi decent pugs

could be tested with a ranger easily, just send the pet to help on an event and make sure you don’t do any damage and see if you get any credit..

could be tested with a necro altho I don’t know how controllable your minions are.

also if you are getting the credit for the kill then I can see no reason why it wouldn’t count the damage done by a minion..

the only reason I can see it not counting is if you aren’t doing x amount of damage required

kenshinakh.3672:

Down state is just a game mechanic, and can be used by both “pros” and “noobs”. I know I use it to my advantage quite often. Let’s say in 5v10 situations. My buddies and I are the 5, and we take down the 10 because we incorporate the downstate in our strategy. It’s not hard either if you have skills. Like we have 3 of our people in downstate, and then we single target an enemy player that might be down, and rally off them.

Now, as for 1v2 or more, I’ve done solo harass fights where I can take them down. You have to be smart about it though. I had moments where people are ressing each other, so I hit the ressers and get free damage off them. As soon as the downed person is up, I immediately jump on him and down him in a couple seconds (I kill the weak first… but that’s my strategy on taking on multiple enemies). Now, the person who ressed him will most likely res him again, but he/she will already be hurt from me hurting them earlier. So win-win, kill the resser, down 2. You can factor in the 3rd player too.

Just remember, the person you down will res with lower HP, and the next time they’re downed, they have even less HP, leading to a longer res time. Sometimes you don’t even have to down them. Just kill them straight out.

That is kind of what i hate, why ever play with it as a strategy ? In what game did you ever get benefit from dieing / hardly wounded ?

…

I think the game was guild wars 2

But don’t quote me on that..

sorry I have no self restraint.. I tried not to post..
