Guild Wars 2

Anyone else having the same problem? I tried to start the client with “Run as Admin” and ordinary way but nothing happens, i’ve tried starting it from GW2 folder but no effect.
Please help

It’s pretty easy to get tokens stuck up to 250 in a day. Could Anet make it so that tokens would stack in limitless number?

Well for PvE ok it good, but for WvW? no way

They stay as they are, totally useless

Brilliant! I love this dungeon and i dont want it become such a waste, its vivid they’ve worked a lot on it. Molten Alliance Fractal, would be nice.

Wait until prices skyrocket, I got one too

Thanks, and are they bound?

Today got super lucky and got tonic recipe on my very first run. The problem is i dont have 400 artificer yet so could someone please post a pic of transformation.

If you want more revealig clothing i would love there to be an armor that covers only nipples, for ladies ofc.

Farzo.8410:

Since Custom Arenas and Spectator Mode is coming, a streamer called TehMaker will host a tournament (he is a NA player but will start the tournament with EU.)

The prize pool is at the moment over 250 gold.

If you want to, check out his stream, ask him some questions (he is really, really friendly, and gives his opinion on anything, if something is bad, he tells you, no fanboyism here) and if you think it’s worth it, donate some gold to him.

I really recommend to check him out, TehMaker on Twitch.tv

If you are not interested, I’m all willing to get a free Unbreakable Choir Bell.

I dont give a kitten how much gold you have, my mail always has a space for lovely dontaions, just send me some gold if you wont need it on Schiinch or Spectral Berserker

Heavy armor type has bra instead of breastplate or two leather straps crossed between, for males. What do you demand more? Light clothing is also full of bras and short skirts and human T3 medium shows underboob, maybe there are more revealing mediums i have no idea.

On the other hand if mounts will be similar to broom, that they introduced earlier, there will be no problem as it gives no speed bonus.

Hate this, waypoints were implemented because of events. They happen so fast that if you’ll have to walk from place to place you just wont get it.

sigh..
What class can’t? Ever heard of stealth or Endure Pain?

Classes that can be invulnerable to all forms of attacks:
Guardian (Elite skill: Renewed Focus http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Renewed_Focus)
Engineer (Utility Skill: Elix S http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Elixir_S)
Elementalist (Utility Skill: Mist Formhttp://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mist_Form)
Mesmer (Class ability: Distortion http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Distortion)

Classes that can’t be invulnerable to all forms of attacks:
Warrior
Thief
Necromancer
Ranger

Just a short complied list. For a fuller version that includes PvE check here:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Invulnerability

Distortion has same effect as endure pain, they both are invulnerable to attacks but still damaged if conditions were applied before activation. Rangers can trait to have 6 secs of invulnerability upon activation of signet and can use “Protect Me” Necromancers have 2 health bars, that covers invulnerability for them, and thief has kittenload of stealth.

lordkrall.7241:

No, it is a balance fix.
Which other class can heal and use utilities while being completely immortal?

Mesmers… and they don’t even have to use an utility skill to do that.

Rangers can do that, in fact they have two invulnerability utilities if they trait it. Let me guess, a WARRIOR’S endure pain is attack damage protective and guardian’s Sanctuary is healing heaven. Let me think, Thieves? they dont need invulnerability because they have million stealth and necro has 2 health bars. OMG Engie’s Elixir that shrinks you. And also mesmer’s Distortion protects only against attacks.

Got to the heart of the mists, that exclusive structured PvP server which you can access from everywhere, and read a lot of wiki

No, you’re mistaken. Sometimes it lags and shows you completion mark right after you complete something else, like heart, or vista, ETC. So when you killed champion, or rabbit both achievements were shown at the same time.

You mean Anet has to think of 301 new skins? NO

Well rabbits look better then Deer, +1

Everflame.1305:

Congratulations. This is possibly the most ridiculous request I have seen on these forums, and I’ve seen a lot of them. Why do you even bother with this game?

Hey this is not the most ridiculous request. There was on who wanted to make so that if people use downed timesaver skills, 2nd skills, and still got finished would have got fined by breaking whole armor. The other was to stun mesmer for 5 secs when he used portal.

Maybe instead of nerfing every other calass Anet should bring in some new skills that will balance all, i have some suggestions. All these skills are utility type

Necromancer:
Devil’s Spirit: Become enveloped in devil’s spirit that absorbs all damage from attacks-> Explode charged spirit to deal absorbed damage.
Plague Swarm:Summon dead mice on target location that bleed, poison and damage foes.

Ranger:
Eagle’s Spirit: Shoot out eagle’s spirit that flies between allies and foes, it blinds and bleeds foes while granting fury and might(5) to allies and yourself.
Hornet Swarm: Summon Hornet Swarm on target location that sting foes.

Engineer:
Elixir V: Drink elixir V granting stealth to yourself for 4 sec. Also applies Might, Swiftness and fury. Belt skill: Throw Elixir V granting Swiftness to allies.
Jetpack: Fly quickly to target location. Belt skill: Attempt flying up, but instead you crashland knocking nearby foes down.

Mesmer:
Illusionary Leap: Leap to your target and deal damage leaving clone at your location.
Illusionary Triangle: Disappear into ashes and teleport one of the angles of triangle summoning two clones on other angles.

Thief:
Shadow run: quickly run in target direction evading all attacks.
Ashstorm: Summon ashstorm on target location granting stealth for 2 sec. to you allies while blinding foes.

Elementalist:
Elemental orb: Summon elemental orb on target location that explodes granting might, swiftness, regeneration and protection to allies while damaging foes and applying Bleeding, Weakness, Vulnerability and Cripple on them.
Landmarking: Mark area around you that heals allies and damages foes.

Guardian:
Pillar of Purity:Summon Pillar of Purity on target location that removes conditions from allies and heals them.
Prayer: Pray to grant all possible boons to you and your allies for 5 seconds. (one stack each)

Warrior:
Ground Crashing Run quickly in target direction crashing ground on the way that knocks down foes.
“I Am Furious”: Grant Fury, Might and retaliation to yourself and allies for 7 sec.

I like meta and dungeon ideas. I have a nice idea what dungeon should be. We all know that LA was once a pirate city that became a part of civilized world. I think Southsun is not recently discovered island. Lion’s Arch pirates hid a treasure there, and maybe that treasure had some magical items that will secure Lion’s Arch from future destruction. Story mode of the dungeon will be to find this treasure which is guarded by pirate ghosts that vowed to secure this treasure no matter what. And explorable would be to disrupt ghost pirate plans of taking back this treasure from Lion’s Arch. Would be awesome if it had some exclusive weaponry and armor like all other dungeons do, this would add some life to our beautiful Southsun Cove, but some dungeons are never done, like SA, it’s very rare. So i think they should add exclusive stat armor set with stats like of Karka shell jewelry, i dont mean there shouldnt be 3stat equipment, just saying that this would make more people interested.

First of all this thread went all the way wrong. The author says that people who get the achievement for doing nothing is unfair, but to stop on this he added a stupid sentence that people being portaled to JP is also cheating. It is not. First of all when you want to do JP you can do it, but there are people who are bad or just came online for couple of minutes to get daily chest, why the heck do you care if he is ported. Doing JP is not a competition. Also its not cheating when mesmers port people inside castels. You can clearly see that castle is being under attack and you should find that one mesmer. Also PvP zone is the only thing mesmer has, it sucks in PvE because mobs dont aggro on clones and mesmer dont have much toughness. Portal servers for teleportaion from a spot to spot when both spots should be marked by standing on them, you dont target another portal in mid-air to get some exclusive port.

If they don’t wana do the jp, then they shouldn’t do it. They arn’t doing anything really if they are accepting that portal up.

And I disagree on mesmers being useless in pve, they can provide good boons and team support, even with the portal (take fractals for instance). Also when introduced, the mesmer portal was shown as a kiting skill, so it can be used in its intended way, just not many people feel the need to waste a 90 second cooldown to avoid an enemy for 3 seconds. I agree the cd increase wasn’t a fair step, but I still believe it shouldn’t work in skipping a jp even if they don’t get the achievment.

People dont only talk about jumping puzzles here, they want to remove portal at all. But for fair solution it should be like this. Mesmers can port people only in PvE regions, but in PvP region portal becomes party depended.

All profs can play certain roles

Guard: Healer (buff support) , Tank, DPS,
Warrior: Tank, buff support, CC, DPS
Thief: Berserker, Stealth support
Ranger: DPS/Suport, DPS,
Engineer: Conditions/Support, Buff support, DPS, CC,
Mesmer: Berserker, Buff support/Condition damage, Stealth support
Elementalist: Healer, Buff support, DPS, Conditions
Necromancer: Conditions/Support, DPS

I’m GMT +4 and i play FSP there are some people with my time

FSP, Far Shiverpeaks. A nice server with balanced WvW, Europe

Guardian is new Paragon, look through PvP achievements and you’ll see

I would actually like this but…..there’s not but. I like this

Jacklo.4230:

I have noticed something similar when applying Basilisk Venom to certain Mesmers. There seems to be absolutely no effect.

You’re TOO SLOW, you should backstab them with basilisk venom and be sure to get the REAL mesmer, sudden action almost kill the mesmer

Nretep.2564:

DrixTrix.7168:

also off topic mimic at the moment has a bug where it absorbs the attack then continues to block everything while the channel lasts, its not mimic your facing but i thought i would through this in there for reference sake.

as I’ve understood the latest patch notes, this is intended. And personally, I don’t see this as overpowered, reflecting projectiles directly aimed at you for max 3.5s and leaving yourself busy casting.

i think he was being sarcasting because that is what mimic skill always did

I’m a mesmer myself and we are NOT immune to stuns. I personaly use 2 stun breakers, Blink and Decoy. Guardians meditations are stun breakers too as i have a guardian. All classes have stun breakers, i know for necro its spectral armor and spectral walk, there are some more but i dont remember them

Kasama.8941:

The only place I think Mesmers need a nerf, is with phantasms and Mind Wrack. Something as simple as a small cooldown timer in between casting different phantasms would be nice, plus a small nerf to Mind Wrack damage. That is all.

Actually mind wrack damage can be traited, without it its not a big deal

Farzo.8410:

This is all going to be subjective.

The reason why I hate Thiefs and Mesmers is because they are not a fun profession to fight against, it’s boring as hell, why?

To start with Thief, it’s boring as hell to fight something that can just turn invisible. It’s not fun, to know that whatever I do, my enemy can just turn invisible whenever he wants to, and there’s nothing I can do to make him come out from it.

I don’t even know if he’s still in the game, I don’t know if he stealthed and ran away, or if he stealthed and logged out from the game. Stealth in Guild Wars 2 is such a broken mechanic it’s not fun.

I really, really disliked Rogues with their Stealth in World of Warcraft, being able to be in Stealth 24/7 (and now even able to Stealth faster than a Druid can use Travel Form, what?)

Now going over to Mesmer. The Mesmer profession have changed so much from original Guild Wars. I really liked the Mesmer profession in original Guild Wars, they were all about interruption, confusion and conditions.

In Guild Wars 2, they are all about spawning as much clones as possible to create a clusterkitten while their enemy have a hard time target them, and ontop of that, they can even turn INVISIBLE.

Spawning clones and phantasms, AND turn Invisible? The only chance you have against Mesmers is in sPvP, where you can ctrl+T them, so you at least know who the real one is, so you can try to aim for that guy while he runs around, spawning clones at you, slowing you down, becoming invulnerable and all that kitten.

But of course, you drop the target when they go invisible.

The purpose of stealth was really to get target out. Most of you might not know but thief and mesmer have same mechanics in some sort. Both profession focus on not being able to get attacked, neither of them can tank so not receiving damage is the only way of survival. While they have much different skills both use something to run away from being majo target. Thieves have more defense from armor so 15 seconds of stealth is enough while mesmers have less defense from light armor they use clones to hide in the crowd. FYI clone/phantasm limit is 3 at a time. Also mesmers are single taget focused classes, we dont have much of AoE skills only a couple that last 3 secs.

People always ask for nerfs when they lose against certain profession, at least some do. We already had much nerfs and we wont let you nerf our portal AGAIN. Mesmer’s portal is almost no profit for mesmers, especially in jumping puzzles because we port OTHERS, we only benefit when we’re not sure about the jump so we place portal for critical result.

The use of portal is also good in PvP battles, especially when there’s four of you. The most common mistake is that when mesmer opens portal during battle most opponents think that mesmer actually uses the portal. This helps us evade a couple of skills from you. Also people think we’re perma invulnerable. We have 3 invulnerability skills. One is Distortion-shatter skill with a minute cd, other is Blurred frenzy- sword skill with 10 sec. cd and last one is mimic, sort of shield wich only blocks after it absorbs a projectile. You can not counter Distortion or Blurred Frenzy but its pretty easy to counter Mimic. Mimic block works after it absorbs projectile, so all you need to do is dont throw one, it only lasts for 4 secs. Confusion, that can be easily removed if you sacrifice one slot of traits or skills for condition removal. Stealth? easy, AoE and CC. Too many clones, there are only 3 of those, clones are the ones who get near. Phantasms? two shot and they’re dead. Chaos Armor? DONT ATTACK. too many teleports? Immobilize.

See? its not that hard to counter a mesmer, you should just know your enemy.

You’re conveniently forgetting that mesmers class-skill is the best defensive mechanic in the bloody game. And when combined with any of their 3 invulnerability abilities, 4 stealth abilities, and some of the games best escape skills any good mesmer is lost in the crowd for half of any fight, and invulnerable, stealthed, or evading for at least another quarter. Leaving little if any window of opportunity open for their opponent.

If they’re nerfing portal, I don’t think that’s a good idea, and it isn’t going to help much of anything. But claiming that mesmers are perfectly fine and ‘have counters’ is nonsense. There are no counters to an endless cycle of defensive mechanics which punish you for dealing with them. See early bunker guardians and the recent pre-nerf thief.

In short, people like fighting an opponent that actually gives them an opportunity to fight back. No good (or even semi-decent) mesmer is required to ever give any such opportunity.

The thing you’re saying is nonsense, when i encounter a tanky soldier I deal a little damage, so my best choice is to retreat, in that case if i get immobilized i am doomed. Also thieves can easily kill us if they’re making the first move. They suddenly stone you and kill you in a backstab and a hit because mesmers CANT TANK, that’s the reason why we have so many little duration defenses, and it happens so fast that we dont have time to teleport, maybe a couple of lucky mesmers will survive if they have illusions alive and distorion recharged.

Titan.3472:

I am agree anything about mesmer have to be nerf again and again :p

we are agree you should visit English language teacher.

No offense but i kinda dont understand what you say

Iruwen.3164:

What’s the purpose of this thread?

People complain about mesmer sometimes, as they did with thieves

Titan.3472:

After using a portal that would be legit that all powers and skills are in CD for 5sec :p

That’s same as Stun, why would we get stunned for using our own skill which has 0 damage

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mimic

“After a projectile has been absorbed, the remaining duration will reflect all projectiles and block all other attacks. "

And some fun fact about mimic. U can trigger the “Block” with ur own “Buff” projectile or “ally Buff” Projectile. For example GS mesmer has Mirror Blade. The Blade will hit the target and then bounce back to Mesmer. Before the bounce arrives press Mimic and the Mimic “Stored” that projectile resulting block all Melee atk and reflect enemy projectile. ANother example with Guardian Staff #2. The Moving heal Orb. If that Orb passes the Mesmer while channeling the Mimic. The Orb is stored too.

never knew that trick with your own skill, thanks

It’s only cheating if it’s being used in an unintended way. Seems to me it’s working as intended. Plus it’s a JP… who the frick cares.

What about eng’s super gun jump of awesomeness? You think they should remove that too?

Exactly! ..and what about warriors and their jump skill? Take away mesmer portals in JP then everyone else better loose their stuff too.

I’m fine with the idea that when people enter a JP zone all skills go away and everyone is given the same weapon/skill, like the Super Fun Dungeon thing that’s going on right now. It would even things out and take the pressure off mesmers a bit.

Agreed. EBG Jp should be a friendly plane, not a battle ; ;

Most people are only there to get the badges for their legendary anyways. Why ruin their day?

It’s a PvP zone, its a battleground. Killing should always be done there

Hey whoever plays mesmer and enjoyes helping out people with portals in JP and WvW etc. Someone dares us to call cheaters :O

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Change-mesmer-portal/first#post1875352

This is the thread, some of you might have already seen but could you provide some groundbrakeing arguments against this guy if you enjoy doing what you do now.

They drop from lvl 20 as said on wiki

Kerishan.8460:

Portal need to become like all other shadowstep, u can just bring friend with u but u need line of sight.

That is like saying to delete portal at all. Mesmers use portal everywhere, not only in JP. I’m a mesmer myself and always port my friends in fractals and dungeon. Like in cliffside fractal, i’m swift and can easily do the puzzle part while some people cant so my friend usually wait me down so i can port them and we’ll save much time, also no one gets damaged with hammer, portal is for bringing a friend and transporting from a place to another.

that’s Brilliant, i would like to see that coming. Anyway i just started doing fractals and i’m on lvl 3.

What is best food and potion for Crit. damage or precision?

I think it would be great idea to have some special type of dungeon, but for jumping haters who wouldn’t want to do this dungeon and not lose anything, it would have same prizes as evrey other one, TOKENS.

yep, that’s a mistery

Would be awesome, but i think 100g for using it is bit too much, lot of people know how to play but dont find commander tag worth of 100g, so i think it should be WvW rank based
