Guild Wars 2

Yes, whenever i unequip my corrupted dagger, i get a message saying “You receive 1 Knight’s Pearl Carver.”

After recent updates, i have found out that transmuted items keep their original name on the vendor or when for example you unequip them (you get a message that you picked up xxx item), but it shows the original item name rather than the transmuted one. For example, i transmuted a corrupted dagger with an xxx dagger, keeping the corrupted skin but xxx stats, when i unequip it, i see xxx obtained instead of corrupted dagger which is the name shown in the UI.

Why are they unique? At least i can have 1 offensive 1 defensive? Having two different stat rings would ruin my spec =/

Stealth is broken, still waiting for a fix. The stealth debuff should last 5 seconds and you shouldn’t be able to refresh stealth without getting the debuff, just lame as that.

I feel you, not having knight’s ascended gear (power, prec, high toughness)

SteepledHat.1345:

@hharry -Between TC and you, you look like the whiner.

I know that the removal of downed state would wreck a lot of newbies strategies for WvW. “Huddle together and mass res” shouldn’t be a viable strategy ever. It will ruin their current approach, but it will also cause them to get better out of necessity.

The problem is, the game doesn’t reward high skill level play. It deters it. It says, “just stick with the group and spam skills. Here, have a badge. You’re so pro.”

Solo kills should be encouraged. Small group play should be incentivised. Every change possible should be made to bring zergs to their knees.

Downed state might help newbies but used on skilled players it is also godlike, reason some small teams can take huge teams.

LFM warrior or mesmer fotm over 9000.

Jokes aside, i agree, people just preffer to get multiple warriors/guardians cause of their damage and how much damage they can take, doesn’t matter if they are already 3 of the same class.

Where did the old school rpg go? Where light armor classes (see assassins, mages, and such) would be very squishy but deliver a lot of damage to compensate, while fighters would wear heavy armor, being slow, and not doing as much damage as a mage. But lately theres NO advantage on using light armor, every heavy armor class can do more damage than you and have more survivability at the same time.

Everyone has been saying conquest is boring and it being the only mode kills sPvP but ya ANet loves it and will stick with it till sPvP dies (the game wont die cause the pve is amazing !)

on top of all this warrior is not the weakest class in the game

If you break things down into roles, you can see pretty clearly that the warrior doesn’t really excel at anything

Burst: Thief is clearly superior; better damage, mobility, and survivability
Bunker: Guardian and ele; no debate here
Condition damage: Necro and engineer; warrior conditions get cleansed too easily
Roamer: Ele

The only role the warrior excels in is providing single-target CC. That isn’t nearly useful enough to justify carrying one in your party.

Warrior single target burst is the highest in the game, their role is that, melt faces with a single button like they currently do.

Stop crying if you are skilled enough to win 1vs6 then become a bit more skilled and learn how to kill downed players. Downed doesnt mean dead, hes still alive, you didnt kill it! Stop whinning for gods sake.

Wait guys nerfing AoE and bunker spec is top priority, bug fixes later :P

Not to mention lightning whip missing 50% of the time, and 100% if you are moving, same for fire grab.

Lol everyone complaining about warriors are kittenly OP in PvE and you want buffs in PvP to make them even more kitten in PvE. They are OP in PvE, and fine/a bit op in PvP

@above

He pulled 3.5k fire grabs with 100 tick bleeds while soloing a champ. All he did was rotate through all of his skills in one attunement, then move to the next with a little bit of kiting and some basic healing/utility pops every once in a while. Idk what you’re talking about.

Haha, yeah, 3.5k fire grab looks pretty sweet….. Until you realize it’s on a 45 second cooldown, requires burning to setup damage and half or more of the time it will miss anyway because it’s hitbox is the size of a gnat. Then compare it to the warriors 100 blades skill, which will hit for 3-5 times as much, 5 times as often (even more really, because you can spec that warrior as a full glass cannon and facetank stuff that will 2 shot a bunker elementalist).

Glass cannon warrior soloing Arah explorable mode:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKy67S6uvNU
(notice he has more health and as much toughness as a bunker elementalist, in full ’zerker gear)

Facetank warrior build: (warning: some profanity in the video, not as much as I uttered watching it though, brb leveling my warrior so people can complain about a real TANK class rather than all the “ermagerd d/d ele iz OP!” crap I keep seeing)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv2ux0GpejM
(This is what a warrior looks like using a build similar to what most bunker elementalists run, but a bit more into damage traits; notice the 30k hp, condition removals and heals about every 5 seconds, yeah, but d/d elementalists are on the “watch list”, ok guys, ok…..)

This should be read by every Anet dev.

ProphetSword.5427:

As someone who is in parties all the time, the benefits of being in a party don’t seem obvious, but they actually do help you. Some of the reasons are:

• You have people watching your back so that you don’t get overwhelmed.
• If you come across a Veteran or a Champion, you’ve got it covered.
• Events are a lot more fun with people you know.
• If you get downed, you have people to revive you while continuing to get things off your back.
• You clear out content much, much quicker. You will level faster and you will fail at things less.
• Sometimes another set of eyes will spot something hidden that you miss. That’s how I’ve often found hidden caves or other things.
• Party chat can be hilarious.
• If you need to pop off to town or something, a party of people you know will wait for you…or maybe even go with you.
• People in your party will sometimes find items. If they are nice or they know you, they may ask you if you want it instead of selling it for a few silver on the trading post.
• It’s fun.

To the people saying there is no point…well, I could argue that there’s no “point” to playing an MMO in the first place. Most people do it for the fun. It’s the same with being in a party. Do it for the fun and reap benefits you may not have realized were there.

Funny how everything you said can be done without being in party at all.

I bet you come from WoW where strafing and forward speeds were the same, well here strafing is A LOT slower, it is almost as slow as moving backwards, i wish they made strafing speed a little bit faster.

Weird i have never had this problem and i always join with random people.

Snoxx.7943:

I think both downstate-haters and downstate-lovers might agree the following two suggestions/changes:

1. reduce the amount of hitpoints in downstate
(it was done in sPvP already, needs to be done in WvW as well)

2. don’t allow rally on trashmobs in WvW
(when a player downed you, it should require a player to rally on, not some cheap trash mob you barely scratched before he died to some AoE nearby)

pls discuss

Correct me if im wrong, but downed health was actually increased in sPvP to encourage using the downed finisher instead of just dpsing.

WvWvW Small fights are amazing, sPvP is crap compared to the fun you get there, standing on circles with tiny maps against fighting freely 3v3 5v5 1v5 w/e you want you can find there and have tons of fun.

However i love downed state, anyone wanting to get it removed should l2p its pretty easy to kill a downed player. You have 2 options, one of them being the easiest, get stability or some kind of immune/stealth and finish them off without them being able to do anything, or just hit/knock down the people trying to ress them, they will either die trying to ress them, or stop ressing.

No, roll a thief or a warrior will grant you waay more fun.

hahahaha ya the game could use a little bit of speed. The reason behind the speed increase/decrease is that so you can move quickly from place to place while not in combat, but imo combat speed should be the non combat speed and non combat speed maybe a little bit faster.

Well guess the discusion is over since this was moved no one ever reads this section nice way to hide stuff =/

Agree. Not to mention the team responsable of attending bot reports is totally useless/in vacations, i have reported a bot a month ago, and hes still there farming lodestones at the ice map 24/7. He prolly bought 3 legendaries already.

The point is there’s no difference at all being in party or not. Im talking about, there are lets say 5 mobs, in a party of 5, each one picks up a mob, every mob should count towards the completion of a heart for every player, but instead only the guy who killed the mob gets profit, so its the same being in party or not.

I dont get it, they make 3 legendary greatswords, 3!! And with really awesome skins, while having only 1 of the other weapons, which looks like crap compared to the greatswords. I would pick corrupted/destroyer dagger any time over incinerator.

Not sure if this is a recent bug or something i cant remember how was the system some time ago, but is that normal that killing mobs(or something else) in party to complete hearts doesn’t count to the other guy? Whats the point of being in party then? I know if both of them attack the same mob it will count for both, but if someone kills a mob it should count to the other party member as well!

Player. 3-4 hours a day.
Pretty much do the daily, do the fotm daily, do AC and CoF daily runs, kill some noobs in WvWvW, exit. Nothing really entertaining at all.

If you remove money there would be always be a new kind of ‘money’. That’s how people work, they trade stuff. Remove money, and you will see ‘selling legendary sword for 500 lodestones’ for example, would still be the same.

Agree, looking forward to disable spell queing as well, really annoying when you get knocked down and the spells are still queued and fired once you get up. Can we get any dev atention anyhow? Pretty sure it can be an easy fix.

The stats combination in sPvP and Pve are exactly the same, this only shows how any of you have never gone to the PvE world, i have played sPvP and Pve/WvWvW myself and i can tell you this.
The suggestion is only about to get more stats distribution than the currently extreme stats, you can only be top damage or top survival pretty much, in WvWvW you can go with way more variety like a little bit of damage but also some survival, making it more entertaining rather than glass cannon vs bunker specs.

God the pvp in this game is so bad i feel sorry for it lol. That was not even entertaining at all, just a bunch of people spamming aoe on a red circle. WvWvW small fights are way more entertaining to watch than these. Not pretending to offend any of the teams or the players, just the game mode itself is horrible.
Arena deathmatch is so much more fun than this kind of pvp, i cant believe they still want to improve conquest being so boring to watch, cant stand near close to a e-sport.
Also im curious how long did it take you to get Arah gear? Im talking about shoulders and headgear

The difference is so abysmal, no class cant even come close in full glass cannon spec (thieves may come a bit close but not even). So either increase everyone’s damage, or increase everyone’s (but warriors) survivability to compensate for the abysmal damage difference, or just reduce warrior’s damage (which would cause a lot of QQ so this isnt an option).

Agree, if it doesnt break stun/knock downs it shouldnt be able to be used, prolly a bug.

Cousland.2187:

Seriously I couldn’t help but noticed that there’s alot of hatred towards Warriors in this topic.

LOLOLOLOL 25k HB ANYONE!?! WARZ ARE SO OP!! /sarcasm

You’d have to sacrifice alot of survivability in order to pull off that amount of damage and from my experience inside dungeons, glass cannons tend to be quite a burden on the team.

So instead of complaining about Warriors, demanding ArenaNet to nerf them… why not look for alternatives because I know for a fact that condition builds needs some loving. Like removing the 25 debuff/buff cap in PvE for starters would be nice. Win/win for everyone in my opinion.

Oh look, full glass cannon build i must die from 1 hit easily. Right, right after clearing a whole dungeon alone. And not any dungeon, its Arah we are talking about, i dont see mesmer/thief/eles which are claimed op as well doing the same. Please find me 1 video of an ele clearing Arah alone and i will delete this topic.

No hacks, warriors are just that OP, their single target damage is above the skies and yet they want to nerf AoE and increase single target, seriously, aoe doesnt even come close to 50% of those 25k 100blades.

Its funny cause as a D/D ele i have no health, no armor, and i have to go melee and struggle with attunement switching to do barely some damage while warriors stand there press 1 button bam 25k

Dont get me wrong, they are pretty balanced in PvP since you can avoid their damage, but in Pve where mobs are kitten is another story.

Seems like a design pattern of every game, make warriors op.

Warriors being the only class able to solo the hardest and end game dungeon in the game (excluding fractals which isnt hard at all), tried to find other videos of other classes soloing Arah, but i couldnt.

PS: Dont move it to warrior section, this involves all classes in general.

If the last video wasnt enough, here’s another one, warrior solo lupicus! Yes nerf Aoe please.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-WJP0LR5VU

They are gonna nerf aoe and buff single target dps (thieves/warriors). Funny they say they read the forums yet none of them talked about these two, just aoe, the bane of all imbalance in this game, nice finding!

If this is about the group of eles killing armies with synchronized #5 earth dagger skill, whats wrong with it? You have 5 to 10 people coordinated doing some tactical attacks. Would it be the same if you had 5 thieves coordinated on killing 1 person? Their damage and stealth is so ridiculously overpowered that they could go in, kill 1, leave ALIVE, wait 2 seconds, go in again, kill one more, and leave alive again, while eles have to wait 30 seconds for a cooldown, so it would be pretty much the same. Yet after 24/7 complains about thieves and their damage and stealth on the forums, they only see AoE as a problem, and thieves as L2P or buy a faster machine.

Oh wait they are gonna nerf aoe, so clones gonna live longer, thieves will take less damage with the only ability that can currently damage them and their 100% stealth. Good going Anet, lets everyone roll thief/mesmer.

How can they say AoE is overpowered, game breaking, destroy WvWvW or w/e the reason they said when you have thieves doing exactly the same with their stupid damage and 100% stealth ? Nerf them both at least -.-

Stop crying just dodge it i cant believe you are crying for this. The skill has 2 parts of damage, theres a firewall part (you can see it in the tooltip) which is the one that hits first, then the blast damage (also seen in the tooltip) which is the one that hits last, plus a burning damage if you step on it.

I see it doing damage before the big blast, so ya blind only makes it miss the first tick. Blast comes at the end, not like it is hard to dodge or anything.

Guys quit sPvP, play PvE/WvWvW that’s where the real game is, sPvP is just dieing conquest is extremely boring, you get way funnier fights in WvWvW small groups than u ever get in conquest. And you get gold/items/tokens w/e but u actually do a small progress even if it is not pvp related.

I wonder if ANet ever plays their own game, i havent seen a single QQ on forums about AoE or nothing close to it, yet they think it is op and needs to be toned down. However, there are endless of warrior/thief/mesmer insane burst complains all over the forums yet not a single word about it, which makes me think they think they are fine. How about you listen to your players a little more =/
Most of the stuff asked for, was ignored or said to be impossible or not being implemented in the near future (duels, new sPvP modes, trading, stealth nerfs, wvwvw names, and some more).

Time to re-roll a thief.

Q: Do you find any profession to be out of balance

Ele bunker, roamer, thief one shot combo, mesmer portal
Ele bunker is really strong, on our watchlist
Mesmer portal is giving us problems –giving that tool onto other classes

Enjoy ur eles as much as u can, cause we are going down.
