Guild Wars 2

Very challenging, staying awake whilst pressing “1” on champions all day is easier said than done.

Warriors are so OP that I just hop into a match, find opponent, hit 1 followed by ALT+TAB, watch some porn, fap, ALT + TAB again press F for finisher.

Just replace it, with a button that instantly kills you would be better. Saves you 15 seconds of looking like a fool.

Lol, shhh you. We don’t care. Axe is way more fun.

Stick with your boring meta if it’s so much better and stop being such a buzzkill.

Funny, this is basicaly the same response I got from this noob warrior I pug’ed with for a CoE P1 run. His post was for ‘exp zerk only’ so I assume he knew what he meant by that. Team dps was kinda terrible, didn’t notice anything until we were fighting the giant guy near those pillars. I see he’s sitting and autoattacking with his rifle… next second he switches to axe/axe and uses whirling axe (keep in mind this is for a boss fight). I called him noob when I saw that and whispered him later why is he bother posting for something that he doesn’t know what it means, and if he doesn’t use metas at all. Basicaly I ask why is he using rifle+a/a. His defensive reply: ‘I am in zerk gear’. Of course I told him I played with many noobs like him before. He gets mad and says, ‘idc if it is terrible dps bro I am having fun with it.’ Sure..just don’t waste my time posting for speedruns if you’re not gonna use optimal gear for ur class -_-

Wasn’t me. I don’t pug and I rarely PvE.

WvW is dead in T1. Blackgate couldn’t handle playing without a full zerg and quickly gave up the first sign of defeat. Now JQ is ROFL stomping the map.

I’m on JQ and I’d rather we lose by a little than win by a landslide. Stacked games are not fun.

Try sigil of fire, it gives whirling axe a kaboom!

Nike Porphyrogenita.8137:

I hope no one seriously listens to this advice.

If you “don’t see” why mace is better than axe you really don’t understand.

Mace 4 = 4% dps boost for your team
Mace 5 = on demand aoe knock down for trash mobs or interrupt for bosses.

Axe 4 = useless Fury when every warrior build already had perma Fury
Axe 5 = low dps aoe attack that is worse than an auto attack in every case except 6+ enemies which happens essentially almost never

You would be better off with offhand warhorn than axe when fighting large groups of mobs, since the AOE Weakness is going to be very significant.

Against difficult bosses, you can replace the mace with off hand sword with energy sigil for the additional dodge and block.

Lol, shhh you. We don’t care. Axe is way more fun.

Stick with your boring meta if it’s so much better and stop being such a buzzkill.

I’ve switched from GS to Dual axe and have never looked back. It’s good for PVP, WVW and PVE. Even with full PVT gear.

The gameplay is so much faster too, thieves get melted with Dual axes.

Rhyse.8179:

Warriors are OP.

Rangers are UP.

Ele’s are too squishy, forcing them into surivival based builds that Anet keeps nerfing in the name of ‘build diversity.’

Everyone else has an assortment of problems, but nothing that seriously restricts gameplay.

This is the typical comment of players that are inexperienced and need practice (nicest way I could say it). Every class has a counter, just as every class has a dominant build that can do very well. Rangers could use some more viable builds though.

And warriors are easy to learn and just as easy to counter by good players. Just roll one and learn how other classes beat them.

I only PvP and WvW. No idea about PvE

Tchurrul.3902:

Hi guys!

hm…I havent play in a while and i came here to see whats going on with the professions.
I have to say im kind of disappointed. My favorite professions are ranger, ele and mesmer, and all i can see about them, at least in pvp, is that they need serious buffs. (mesmer not too much).

What i want to ask is: those classes are really in that bad place right now?
I was thinking about make a fresh start with a ele or a ranger. How are them in pve/pvp/WvW?

Thanks

IMO classes are pretty balanced. Many would disagree before learning how to counter. I have played against rangers that never seem to die and eles that melted me before I could even get close. Mesmers are tough but not OP. Every class can ROFL stomp, some are harder to learn and require more skill than others and those 3 are the former.

phillip.6821:

Ok I play theif, mesmer, and necro… This is not a problem with just necro vs warrior…. GET OFF MY NUTS TROLLS<—————- Why do I attract the trolls? I dont throw my rank around thinking I’m better then people…. But iv been around the block… Wow I thought I would get better feedback then this.. first 2 posts were obviously forum trolls.

today’s word of the day, TROLL

If you’re having trouble beating warriors on your mesmer, then you seriously need to practice. Mesmer is warriors counter class as warrior is to necro.

I as a warrior have an easier time killing other warriors than I do against mesmers and engis. Maybe it’s because I know the warrior class well and know how to counter them and what to look out for.

I suggest you roll a warrior and learn their weeknesses. Then you might realize that they’re not that OP after all.

Warlord.9074:

150 views and no response. ANET you should seriously take my advice into consideration.

Someone needs to read the “How to give good feedback” thread.

Making demands will only get your thread ignored.

Blackgate and welcome back.

Wow, what happened to TC and the other one?

I’m assuming you’re referring to SBI? People jumped ship. Blackgate has been the new bandwagon server for quite some time now.

Blackgate and welcome back.

Not sure how up to speed you are on GW2.

There is now an LFG tool and quite a few world bosses. Tequatl, Marionette, Wurm. None really require you to be social.

They have also introduced other avenues of acquiring ascended gear. (Daily acheivements = play the game and do whatever to progress.)

Hope this helps and welcome back

Warrior and thief, because I like to hack n slash.

They need to remove KSing in PvP by awarding the kill to the player that caused most damage rather than last hit. And the finisher should get no credit. Not hard to press F.

My vote is to leave it the way it is. A lot more people will be upset over changing it then leaving it as is. If you don’t like it don’t do it.

Ditto!!! And welcome back to Tyria.

I would also like to see this implemented.

ANET PLZ ADD THIS AND TAKE MY MONEY!!

Arkham Creed.7358:

Not going to happen. For about the billionth time now; Arena Net already confirmed that they will not be adding race changing to the game because of the impact that would have on your personal story and home instance.

They also confirmed that there will be no gear grind therefore your statement is invalid. If the demand is high enough Anet will supply. It’s good business. We just need to make more noise.

ANET PLZ ALLOW ME TO SWAP RACE WITH GEMS. K THANKS.

I don’t mind stealth so much, but I wish there was a way to counter it. Like in AoC every player has a “search” skill, that would unstealth the player if they were within a certain aoe radius. It had a cool down so you couldn’t spam it.

Players complaining about trivial things in the forums.

I’m playing the old “delete your ranger and roll warrior” build

Rangers need a buff badly.

You’re joking.. Right? Spirit Rangers have one of the most OP builds to date.

They need more viable builds. That word OP gets thrown around so much now it’s lost all meaning. I haven’t come across any class in GW2 that I would consider OP. In other games when I choose an OP class, no other classes can beat me besides the same OP class. Every class and build in GW2 has a counter. People should L2P and stop crying OP. GW2 is one of the more balanced MMOs I have played, you people need to get out more.

I hate skyhammer too. But there’s no need to AFK, just click the PvP icon and choose a new map.

Julie Yann.5379:

I think my Char Warrior looks pretty bad-kitten but if I were to reroll another warrior it would be tiniest Asura I can make so that my skill animations aren’t so easy obvious.

Ditto!

And I don’t know if the hit boxes are the same for all classes, but I seemed to get targeted more in WvW than Asura. Maybe people just don’t want to attack Asura as they are small and cute… I dunno…

And also when I’m attacking an Asuran my sword seems to just slice over the top of their heads and give them a haircut…

Signet will still be viable. I doubt it will counter the QQ though.

I really do hope it is, BTW do you think Rune of the Dolyak will offset the 8% loss? If not, can you think of anyway we can offset the 8% loss?

Being the tankiest class in game as well as traiting for adrenal health should help =) Stop crying, you will use it after the nerf and not even notice the difference.

I’m not crying, I’m asking other warriors what they think will be the most effective healing skill post nerf. If you have nothing to contribute, please abstain from posting.

Of course, you need to be on a server that has good wvw guilds that can down people. It also has to be a wvw guild that aren’t jerks to newbies. Most are super elitist that think being good at a video game actually matters. If you do not die, they won’t mind for the most part. If they do, who cares. They can’t stop you. Just do not expect to be invited to any groups.

Which server(s) do you suggest? I may one day in the future look to move, but only once I’m sure I’ve found a class I like more than others and have figured them out a decent bit.

Blackgate, Jade Quarry and Sanctum of Rall are the top 3 servers. Blackgate having the longest que times.

Shield block and defy/endure pain will save your life many times in WvW. And balanced stance, dolyak signet and berserker stance will help you aswell.

For PVE I recommend either duel axes or greatsword. It all really depends on your playstyle though. There are so many viable builds with warrior.

I don’t understand why people are against duels, I like them as a way to kill time with friends when waiting for open world events. If they aren’t here I’ll still live, but I don’t understand why some people are so against it, can one of you that are so against it please elaborate as to why you are?

Try one of the many threads linked to above. You’ll find your answer there.

Why can’t you people answer a simple question. Why are you so against a dueling option? If you’re worried about people spamming duel invites, simple fix, have an option that blocks all duel invites.

We have answered it, again and again and again. Read the threads linked. I for one am tired of repeating myself because people are either to lazy to look or think they are the first person to think of this.

I know why you can’t answer my question. Because there is no valid argument against duels, so your answer is “go read 1000 posts”.

Will you stick with Healing Signet after the nerf or use a different healing skill? Which healing skill do you like best and why?

Try beating a skilled mesmer with warrior. The odds are stacked heavily against warrior.

Paper will always complain that scissors is OP.

If they nerf killshot they’re going to have to give it a new name. How about “long charging mediocre damage shot”?

Celtic Lady.3729:

Cash shops are here to stay. I predict it’ll only be a matter of months before the celebrated ESO goes to some version of F2P/Hybrid model. I really wouldn’t pay monthly for this game, no. Can’t think of any MMOs right now that are worth 10-15 bucks a month.

^This. There’s a reason many MMOs like SWTOR, TERA, DCU etc all went F2P. Sub doesn’t necessarily work out as there usually isn’t enough content to justify the sub, so the players cancel their sub and move on to the next game.

They can be easily countered by good players, so no I don’t believe they’re OP.

Best way to prove it’s a bad idea, is to boycott the new pick. If no body buys it, they’ll most likely not pull this kind of stunt again.

Obvious troll thread. Great idea, make 90% of the players leave.

fonvitale.9621:

Sorry but I can’t believe that there was a warrior wondering about fighting against necros. If so, it’s a l2p issue obviously…

Anyway, only one word: Hammer

He came here asking for advice, not crying OP. Get back under your bridge troll.

It’s called killshot for a reason.

No I don’t like it. People that bought the previous picks will be less inclined to make further purchases. Anet may have just shot themselves in the foot.

Chris Whiteside.6102:

Hi All,

Thanks for your collaboration in both the Vertical and Horizontal progression threads. We had some great conversation, ideation and commentary in both of the threads.

This Process Evolution topic is all about how we can improve our best working practices and processes for the CDI. The results of our last one were as follows:

1: More Focused Topics! (Done!)
2: Build out more time for Devs to engage (This is already in progress)
3: Thread owner to post a summary every three pages (The community did awesome here, but I want to build out more time to do this)
4: Post writers should aim to be concise and to the point using examples where necessary. (We need to improve here)

The focus of the conversation of this topic is therefore on how to improve the CDI and is not about specific areas of the game or features.

The two areas I think we need to work out or improve on are:

1: We need to keep thread and post sizes more manageable. Should we put a limit on the word length of posts?
2: How are we going to chose topics moving forward, for example, by votes or by Anet choosing them etc?

Chris

1. A limit in length of a post will lead to multiple posts. Make it so that only the first paragraph or so is visible with a “read more” option button.
2. Votes

“I voted for ranger… it’s fun losing all the time…” said no one ever.

I don’t consider this pay to win. But I do think it’s unfair to those who purchased the previous tools and believe those people will be less inclined to make future purchases from the gem store.

Sure… vertical progression/gear grind was their master plan all along and the fact some people kept asking for it was merely a coincidence… I know this because I heard about it from a leaked reddit post or some such….

tolunart.2095:

That’s the whiner mentality.

Someone grows up always getting their way by bugging his parents until they get tired of hearing it and give in. As an adult he thinks that all he has to do is keep saying “I want this” and eventually he’ll get it. That is why there are new threads about the same subjects every week.

The squeaky wheel gets the grease. That’s why we have gear grind instead of horizontal progression. Because some people kept crying for a “carrot on a stick”.

Welcome to online gaming. Stuff you like will get nerfed. Just the way it is. I don’t like it, you don’t like it, but it’s not going to stop by posting angry threads about it. Try to put emotion aside and explain your point in a logical manner and you’re more likely to get somewhere.
