Guild Wars 2

thanks for the reward track in Wvw. makes a lot of real wvwers happy of not doing dungeons or pvp.

so sometimes you listen to players and customers.

then listen to this too.

things that a wvwer would like to see, and its seeing those broken things from 4 years.

examples:

Flamethrower autoattack skill that passes through gates.
Deathshroud 4th skill steal life same.
Coalescence of Ruin hammer rev the same.
Staff autoattack guardian same
staff line of warding dropped on wall and blocking passage on wall
funcion gyro of engi that goes and kill one player on wall
minions that climbs walls
pets same
clones that passes through gates and follow target

catapults placed in weird places (as under the bride of Veloka tower in EB)
or behind jerrifer spot.
or mendon cata spot under the cliff.
etc etc

those things are always been there.
time to listen really what is broken in Wvw.

correct them, Wvw and Gw2 has already took a sad road from Hot.
powercreep and toughness-vitality USELESS stats.

so if this is the road you Anet want to take, fair enough, i will adapt too, but what i said before MUST get corrected. for a healthy game.

regards

its not a complain ONLY on CoR, its a complaint that EVEN COR ADDED to this nonsense!

(i still wonder if people read all the threads of whatever post – seems not)

is the game balacend?

well i saw flamethrower as staff 1st skill as ds… and its ridiculos and sad

thats all… (as minions of necros-reapers or clones following you passing by gates or Function Gyro going on walls finishing players)

really sad anet

anet are you joking?

Coalescence of Ruin passes through gates?

really – come on.

it is still ridiculos to see that flamethrower of engineer passes through gates as death shroud skills but at least those have 300 radius or 600.

that gets in woodhaven or longview up to the ramp?

are you joking???

it will be another post on skill lag etc etc.

do in a pve map Shatterer or Jormag, more people playing, doesnt lag.
do Wvw and in a zerg fight 50 vs 50, and that trasform your 30mb internet connection and nasa computer, into a 14,6k connection and a 8086 computer.

time you Anet invest on better servers in Wvw.

from Hot some stats are become obsolete. toughness-vitality and even healing.

only in a few class healing is considered as 1:1 ratio only if using some traits.
in other classes, 0 healing -> heal for 300. 500 healing -> heal for 400…

but here the post is going off thread -

still think and still say that perplexity rune in itself is to powerful (with the spam of cc in the game) as confusion as it is from the change is still insane in Wvw.

they should be tuned correctly.

confusion? 1000 damage on skill use. 100 over time. not the opposite as it is now!
over time really? are you joking?

if confusion has been boosted for pve, and it comes back as it was, well, mesmers and engis etc, do another build for pve!

and if resistance instead of 100% immunity to condition becomes like protection boon (-33% damage)?

resistance = 50% reduction of conditions (so 1s of bleeding becomes 0,5s – 1s fear will rip 1 stability – 4s imobilize will become 2s etc etc etc)

that will make some sense in figths. casuals builds could stand a chance (even if nearly 0%) vs a 10-20 organized guild group running those set up of boon sharing etc etc etc

i think that confusion should go back as it was before they changed it.

doesn’t deal damage in pve? ok so put the same damage not 100 for skill use and 200 over time! what???

the game in itself has boosted up conditions for pve, but, if before only bleeding and confusion was stack intensity now all are.

if before 10s of poison was 100 a second of damage,
now 10 stacks of poison 10s it has become so its 100 × 10 × 10 hours, every second is -1k!

with cooldowns – traits-sigils-whatever condition removal same as before!!

here we are speaking if a class is useful or not.
engineer in the way i described is one way of beeing useful. and that is a fact.

even with pistol-shield with bombs-mortar kit elixir gun same as above.
with tons of fields with mortar kit or bombs.

then some classes are better than others for this or that. but don’t say engineer is useless.

all class can be useful if used properly and set up properly.
elementalists-mesmers-thiefs-etc etc etc etc etc etc etc

then some classes do some roles better than others. thats sure

mmmmmmmm no support? no utility of engi in wvw? looooooooool

sorry, but i dont agree…

play berserk-knight stats with rifle-toolkit-healing turret (or even better medic gyro) – a bulwark gyro and elixir gun – with mortar kit and alchemy?

you have 1200 range and 1500 with mortar kit – a defense for yourself – so many water fields for zergs to blast – so many condi removal (for yourself and for the allies)

inventions? with autosmoke bomb? so op combined with bunker down in melee!!

alchemy? seems a lot selfish but elixir gun 3rd skill and 5th skill – keep all alive in front of a ram under acs!! and so on…

with healing turret 2 water fields – mortar kit 1 – can have 3 with 2 skills….

so…

oh, so you think/say that break stun will cast immediately, and then the 0,5s is for aoe superspeed?

interesting – never saw it this way.
only found “weird”? or not so clear tooltip…

(also saw it from “well of power” in necro-reaper, its a break stun and tooltip shows a 0,25s cooldown – seemed and it is a bit not clear)

(for buffs on scrapper surely no more needed, off topic but shield should need some love XD)

hello,

i think that some skills in the game that are “Break Stuns” have a cast time! (0,5s in this case)

they should have 0 cast time….

“The rune’s 4th bonus should only effect up to 5 allies. That means even with 5 people using the runes, each with +100% boon duration,the longest amount of resistance they could grant each of the 5 players is 10 seconds, or 50% up time”

maybe it doesnt affect only 5 players????

source: metabattle.com
roamer D/D (of course is a roamer so bursts and escape right?)

but read well what you can find around and “its not so op in a single player” LOOOOL

D/D elementalist is not as all-powerful as it once was, but can still work with the correct setup (meaning abuse all the op stuff)

runes:
Superior Rune of Durability Superior Rune of Durability This is one of the reasons this build sort of works. This rune is extremely powerful.

“i think it is working as intended, ever heard of unity is power?”
have u ever heard of balance? oh right its Anet, so will never see it xD

except flames – rages – or ironical stuff.
have you ever see 10 people organized builds – unity is power as you say having 33s resistance??

and whenever you will get them down with that kind of perma boon spam?

even worst than the old stability system – have you ever thought on that?

i am asking to tune down a bit some things.

this “rune of durability” introduced from Hot is insane in one single player build (elementalist-ranger-warrior-engineer for example), using of course scrapper-druid-berserker-tempest.

seeing that you Anet will probably never consider to have in Wvw the same pvp rules at least on runes and sigils and no food boosters

take on consideration this:
get a 5-10 players with that rune – some concentration stat, a foods and see 33s resistance? kitten protection? on 5-10 players???

Anet i must say that wvw cant be threated as a verdant brink raid

i am asking to “block”? if i can use this word? a maximum amount of time of those 2 boons.
like 5s of resistance? 10s of protection?

those 2 boons are ruining every kind of fight in wvw

please consider tuning this rune or those boons in wvw.

regards.

(only a few classes have some remove boons or convert boons – aka necro corrupt boon or well of corruption or all engineers with mines? or use sigil of Nullification?)

PyrateSilly.4710:

Another “I quit!” thread? If I didn’t like a game anymore I would just stop playing and play something else. Done that for lots of games. Not this one thou, I do like GW2 quite a bit and I am having lots of fun with lots people in PvE and WvW.

did it seems a quit post?

cant i complain on who changed the game with Hot?

i am a customer and i can say what i think is wrong and unbalanced.
dont like it? go on and dont reply

i would say that wvw filled up only for the reward track! but no ones want to admit it! (i do wvw from day 2 and always done 5-8 hours in wvw)

of have never spent 10 gems in this game.
really after the release of Hot, you Anet have ruined an entire game mode.
Wvw.

berserk is perfect in the game, then put up scrapper trait or druid or tempest
put in durability rune and become immortal.
making all the others pre Hot build simply USELESS!

thanks of ruining a game Anet.

welcome to Eotm in 4 other maps.
thanks anet.

swaggler, which part of this sentence isnt clear?

interesting isnt LIKE IT. neither LOVE IT.

“its INTERESTING this linking. AS fow player, never saw fights 30+ vs 30+. cute, interesting, but i dont like them, ok?”

then, read well what Depraved Ambience.7942 said and i agree on what he said.

“So, this is what is wrong with democracy.
The majority should never, ever be allowed to decide what happens to a minority! Do I really need to bring up historical examples of why this is bad?
I know it’s just a silly game, but this is honestly the worst thing that has happened to WvW ever and is totally ruining my enjoyment of the mode, and tier 8 players are quitting in droves because of linking – our guilds are dying. ANet, your solution to “fix” the population is to make people leave and to ruin friendships and communities?! Do better!”

but HEY! all Gw2 community is voting. so means that 90% of ppl voting are pvers.

the gw2 community can say yes – no. depends on how much time or interest they find in a game mode, right?

im part of the Wvw community of Gw2 (a minority community) and i say NO.

wont change my mind.

“Your vote was a selfish vote and hurts the mass pvp community.”

and ppl voting that they never do wvw??? LOOOOOOOOOL

Swagger.1459, i will try explaining things again.

that post is MY opinion, not majority.

as i said in other threads of merging-linking- call it however u like. im from FOW.
then Anet can decide to put me in Piken – gandara – rof or wherever. and I can decide if to play more or not- correct until here?

its INTERESTING this linking. AS fow player, never saw fights 30+ vs 30+. cute, interesting, but i dont like them, ok?

so, seeing i dont like them much, i say no to linking.

and as i said before, linking-merging 2-3-4-5 servers together WONT FIX THE BALANCE POPULATION ISSUE.

thoughts from a player LOW tier server (Fissure Of Woe):

INTERESTING those 3-4 weeks in the linking – with Gunnars Hold -

good things:
have people to do something at any time.

not so good things:
more casuals that do wvw
more zergs vs zergs
(that on tier 8-9 never happened – by the way ZERG is generally 40-50++ people)

i happily say no.
it wont balance population and wont solve this issue.

Anet posted that there was an increase of people playing Wvw?
i say mainly for the reward track….

(was more active on Fow doing stuff than in this linking)

regards.

i’ll repost what i wrote at the beginning:

“i saw those damages (notice: from 3k to 12k) only playing rampage as engi!!! rampage!!! with basic armor!!!” (rampage = precision-power-condition) so no vitality – no toughness anywwhere)

and that was looooooooooong time ago!!! (3 years ago kind of!)

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Infusion.7149:

It’s fixed to an extent. It used to hit 15K+ on 3k armor

The cooldown might need looking at but 7K damage really isn’t that much if the warrior is running signet of might and had might stacks (or you had vulnerability more likely).

Your HP is 24K, what are you complaining about? If you were on a guardian it’d be about half your HP unless you ran multiple pieces of vitality gear other than armor (i.e. Nomad’s /Minstrel’s/Marauder’s/Wanderer’s/Soldier’s/Sentinel’s/Valkyrie), durability/trooper runes, and/or force of will trait for +3000HP.

lol lol lol lol

it was the first HIT i got, with 0 vulnerability on me.

“If you were on a guardian it’d be about half your HP” ok. this is perfect for what i’m saying

7k isnt a lot? but compared to what? and ele has 10-15k hp lol and gets 7k as 1st attacking skill?

do you really think this game after Hot is balanced? LOOOOOOOOOOL

Bigsexy.8302:

I know, right?
7k backstabs and 4-4.4k hammer bolts on 3.1k armor+7% damage reduction.
5k meteors, mind that the area is huge.
Range cc spam ftw.
In 2 years we may have some kind of balance.

We really need standardized cd and damage on all the weapons. Why rev’s hammer #5 hits just as hard as warriors gs #5 and its on way less shorter cd? /shrug

i see doing wvw all those skills. and i agree on what you say.

by the way, so that everyone can understand it, nothing against players using what Anet OFFERS.

its a usual thread of people complaining? yes. but against who?

this post is a complain on the road Anet took from Hot.

simple and easy.

did Anet really corrected the skill “Gun Flame”???

with 3000 armor see this hits of nearly 7k, as opening attack? first attack?

how you should handle an attack like this? with 5s cooldown?

so in 10s get 2 of them? when healings etc are 5-7k?

i dont care at all if this is perfect for the 4 Hot maps, but in wvw its insane.
as other bilions of skills with low cooldown and high damage.

you made armor-toughness useless in the game.

you want the game “burst or be bursted” – really sad this road Anet.

regards.

(i saw those things only playing rampage as engi!!! rampage!!! with basic armor!!!)

Soon.5240:

Sins.4782:

If this happened we’d still be left with 1 useless offhand in PvP. No one’s going to take OH pistol if it doesn’t provide significant damage pressure. The immob is decent for landing skills and the cover condi are alright, but shield’s defenses are infinitely more useful as they mean you’re not deadweight as soon as you get focused.

Are a lot of people using Shield?

im using shield in an hybrid celestial (firearms-scrapper – tools or alchemy or inventions depends on situations)

because i love the blast – the reflect while getting close to a ranger lb or a warrior rifle or dh longbow – and the block of 5.

5th skill is still a 100% projectile finisher and still stuns-daze when someone wants to melee

indeed i said in another post that 30s and 40s are a high cd – compared to the 6s and 20s reflect-block of hammer and compared to cooldowns of shield of other classes.

suggestion: 20-30s base traitline. if using inventions, give protection and resistance 1s aoe to 5 targets. its a defensive weapon and would be perfect and another option in some builds.

for pistol 3: the buff of 1 stack more confusion is very nice. bounces to 4 targets.

have a rabbit close to one player in wvw? – 6 stacks of confusion (that ok – dont deal 1000 and 2000 like bombs in a condi build but still is 6 stacks to remove mixed with poison-burning-bleeding etcetcetc)

scrapper and Function Gyro.

if you put up Perfectly Weighted – stability on dodge and hammer damage increase +10%, the minor adept Function Gyro changes the description saying that 2 stacks of stability when using it.

don’t know if i am missing something, but never saw from Hot some stability!!!!

does it work? or its me?

(tried even with perfectly weighted and final salvo but still no stability when using Function Gyro)…

heya
same thing happened to me on many times when using “Self-Regulating Defenses” of engineer line alchemy.
if you have imobilize on you, the trait triggers, remove imob as a condition, cant move anywhere (the invulnerable state lasts 3-4s) and you would like to move – run – in a tower – into the group, no, you cant, so just stay there and get killed after.

or happened with other classes (ranger and guardian) with taunts or imobilize – remove them and then, no point on moving because you cant!

not only in sm 3 sides fights didnt see in a fight 30vs30 practically 10 aoe stuff! LOL (and happens often)
(hope they will do something for it so to have more fun and well if you see elementalist fire balls maybe you can dodge hahahahaha)

heya, on this wvw server linking it’s generally all fine. interesting.

one big negative note, the skills lags that comes out in fights.

don’t know if this server linking is creating some sort of issues or if its always been like this in higher tiers, in fights where 50 vs 50. (to be honest never had lag in Fow HAHA never had and never saw fights more than 20 vs 20 HAHA)

said this, well, with skill lags, there is sometimes aoe stuff that basically you dont see!!!! and from 20k vitality you are in down, and full of conditions, only because you didnt see what was hitting you…

cheers

i love when people that stayed in one server for nearly 4 years, complain that wvw of that server is one of the worst LOL

play it every day then you can speak

FogLeg.9354:

funghetto.1584:

we are linked with gandara – and at the moment, well, no kind of problems, except some trollers-ragers. but they are everywhere.

No we are not.

FoW is linked to Gunnars Hold.

As about constant blob vs blob fights… it happened on reset evening. I have also seen them on EB, but we also we defended our home BL with 5 people whole morning against 20+ SFR. And from those 5 players 4 were from FoW. So.. who is linked to who here?

well, i made a mistake on saying gandara. cant i make mistake??? LOL

everyone search for different things in the game.

i know where i come from and i will say proudly im from Fow. nothing else.
then Anet can put me wherever they want. i will play and have fun in my way when i want to have fun.

heya all…

here a player that lived and lives and play for Fissure of Woe from day 1. never moved, even if i had like 103483481538 chances of moving in other servers.
bad times good times fun rages etc.

saw many people (players) moving because they were fed up defending stuff 5 vs 20, or fed up of perma rages when 99% of the times outnumbered etc etc and empty bls in some times in 24 hours.

this “beta” stuff is what it is. a beta.

we are linked with gunnars hold (ops for the mistake before XD) – and at the moment, well, no kind of problems, except some trollers-ragers. but they are everywhere.

to be honest, i think that, (on my behalf) never saw zergs or fights 50+ vs 50+ so its new.

then yes, maybe i wont like it to much. yes, maybe i can like it? only because im fed up of not having people playing wvw for the server and as someone said before beeing loyal to the server (but everyone is different in the game)

i think that this “server merge” wont be THE solution.

but at the moment (personal opinion i will play it) and think that for stability changes and other stuff from the patch, the direction taken from Anet in wvw scenario is a good direction.

Caedmon.6798:

Dream In A Dream.7213:

Why do you need catas while roaming? Makes no sense. Leave pvd to havoc or blobs.

Because you can do alot with just 2 – 5 people.You don’t have to mindlessly run around just looking for a few people to gank,trying to draw out some when you siege a tower has given me the best fights usually and you’re still helping out the main blob aswell.

this is what i call “the real roaming”. aka bothering here and there flipping things – moving fast – etc etc etc etc (and make the other servers mad trying to find you out XD)

shall i go on with:
Phase Smash? leap 1200 aoe 5 targets then go back?
Electro-whirl hammer engineer that reflect every 6s (while attacking) and Shock Shield engineer hammer 20s cd blocking while attacking – making old shield engineer simply useless?
2-3 gyros that is perma stun – get superspeed and 470 healing a second in a berserk build (and like 550 with 500 healing?? LOL)?

old system vs new system = no compete. this is the meaning of this post.

anet tune things out: nerf new things in wvw – pvp or buff old things to keep up with new system.

notes on some stuff:

Dragonhunter
“hunters ward”: when we will see the red mark?
compared to “line of warding” 6 rings that you dont see compared to 1…
one of them is too much.

virtue of resolve: 1625 aoe healing 600 radius and 43,5s or 50s compared to wings of resolve that has a leap of 800 – remove imob on the caster – heals for 3,500+ with 30s cd, makes virtue of resolve ridiculos. make them the same at least.

ranger:
solar beam: cant block it? cant reflect it? what is it? 3 targets – ok 3 pulses ok – but area of effect? 100? 200? 300? pierces? doesnt pierce? not specified

ancient seeds: striking a stunned – dazed – knocked down etc foe – entangle every 10s – cool nice – but range? infinite?

juvenile bristleback and juvenile smokeskale. the more op pet in the game.
basically every other kind of pet is useless compared to them!
and they are even more intelligent than the old ones!

general consideration:
for 3 years you showed us that “damage OR stay alive” now you can have both.
and make old system possible to use.

adjust some leaps-mobility. range basically.

example: wings of resolve with 800 leap?? (offensively and defensively)
ancestral grace 1200 range? (offensively and defensively)
and if used defensively when will you get them?

tune a bit those things because in some game (wvw) its getting simply ridiculos to get in a fight.
with all those “leaps” “healing” “blocks” or “reflect” and range stuff.

The old system could have been “hard” for new players, but usually you didnt know what you would have done in the game (and what you would have preferred).

i know a lot of builds pre Hot where destroyed (mine included in 2 characters).

it was fine to simplify traits – remove a lot of “useless” traits.
but could have changed more with 5 lines where to put in things.
3 lines and Hot = no build variety.
specialization? maybe i dont want specialize in nothing. dont want to be OP in 2 things. maybe i want to have fun – careless if im effectively dealing damage-dps-whatever.

on the new system – i should bring again 5 traits in engineer and 4 traits in ranger.

and both builds i played them for 2 years and had fun and they were fine for most situations.

now basically i dont have fun with any kitten class.
FUN. otherwise as someone said around in wvw posts, “its not a job”

now, whatever i write here is my personal opinion (that is how i think things should go in whats a game) (and read my signature lol)

said this, well, when i see some builds/classes that uses some food (see some warriors builds with “66% chance on critical hit steal life” – and that steal life is 1k careless of armor) i ask myself “can they play only in that mode? their build is working basically for that?”

then i reply to myself “this is allowed on anet side and the wvw scenario” (and i get sad to be honest)

in the other side, saw in 4 years of game, little guilds (say 3-5 ppl) using some range class (rangers-druid or dh or both) with some ista bursts melee classes (thiefs? warriors?) and well they arent roaming (flipping camps-towers once an hour mostly), they arent looking for duels (because they usually go all of them vs 1-2).

i call this gameplay or gamestyle “ganking”. but its allowed by anet and the game in itself.

as someone said in here, cant have respect for the persons behind the screen that does this gamestyle, even if allowed by the game in itsel.

but this is my opinion.

i think gravity well is to op too – as the 5th skill of hammer engi Thunderclap as huntersward- especially compared to similar skills effects.

engi? shield 4th skill? with Radius: 180? if using magnetic inversion? with 1 stability ripped?
or ring of warding guardian in melee with 1 stability ripped??
or line of warding guardian at 1200 range? with 1 stability ripped?
one break stun was enough to get out of them – and in case of line of warding well, move a side – and u see it in the ground

dh lb 5th skill is 6 rings = 6 stability – and cant use a break stun – because there is other 5 cc after that LOL (same cooldown of line of warding staff same range – but one is 1 cc this one is 5-6 cc!)

can 20 players have a banner in 1 minute? no they cant (for the internal cooldown of tactivators).
im thinking on fights – lets say “normal” fights not using the banners of keeps.

should anet then rework (aka balance) every single skill in the game after the introduction of Hot?
with the power creep?

they first said that players would have had a “break bar” and then changed their mind.

break bar is: when it brakes deal +50% damage (if not more) on champ-mob.
break bar isnt stability

can come to mind that then (seeing the power creep) that every single player in wvw is getting the +50% damage (as they have the broken bar??? doubts…)

cant compare fights between players in wvw scenario as the same of 20 players killing a keep or tower champion.

“now Brake Bars all over the place now, PvE, WvW, Raids”
break bars only on Mobs (PVE) not on players (WVW).

you cant say that CC as it is now, in Hot system and classes with elite spec, is, lets use the word “correct”

if before Hot it was a permaspam of stability (guardians) now it is a perma spam of whatever can AOE CC.

(reapers – huntersward – taunts of pets – gyro explosions – etc – etc – etc) so as i posted around threads (always concerning WVW)

stability as it is now isnt so useful, or CC is simply to much.

i say reduce cooldown (15-25s in that range)

no recharge reduction in inventions trait – give protection and maybe resistance – its defensive so it could be nice to have both.

compared to the same skills of other class then cooldown would be ok.
compared to hammer that every 6s reflects and every 20s blocks (while attacking) and attack too (in melee does both) is still to much but at least could give a sense of using shield again.

pistol 2 and 3 could be a bit buffed in power and behaviour (2 with that poison spread – circle too )

or… increase from 900 to 1000/1050 range as ehm was promised in baseline traits

that post of mine was provocative, ok sorry.
behaviours of some skills and some “not showing” traps-marks-skills on the ground (as shown instead of most of stuff) that doesnt help at all in wvw scenario.

get the stability change of 1 year ago was “more or less” fine untile the perma CC of Hot expansion, and there you go.

stability is useless or CC is simply to much.
can’t see it in other ways.

as “high damage and high survivability”
all from the introduction of Hot in wvw.
(still think that Anet didnt consider at all the impact of Hot in wvw)

(roaming is one part of the wvw game – and some changes arent effecting the game mode – Hot elite spec required in 99% of the roaming builds)

but in every kind of fight, outnumbered or even numbers fights, both “old” and “new” system SHOULD have a chance.
but its not like this. (for bugs, distance cc distance shots with low cds – traps/skills not showing – or whatever)

“Stability change does not affect roaming or GvG, but has major impact on large-scale fights. “Pirate-ship” becomes dominant zerg meta. Warrior is effectively removed from the meta. Ability of smaller guilds to fight larger groups significantly damaged.”

“CC – CC – CC – CC – CC” its a pve champ the enemy group! HAHAHAHAHA

god you are right – (ps. from ofc 1200 range! ask 3 dragonhunter to drop 3 huntersward, someone will die!)

those are the right words “with high damage and high survivability.”

thanks anet for this release of Hot in wvw scenario

it happens in WvW scenario, and usually in towers vs lord and players.
most bombs explode under the lord room

please sort those things out
