Guild Wars 2

I know this probably isn’t realistic, but the lack of old Tank, DPS, Healer kind of hurts this game I think. Giving people a main role makes things a bit more interesting than everyone just being DPS, with no real reward or benefit to attempting to heal, support, or tank.

Of course this would mean major tweaking to skills.

Large groups of enemy players appearing out of nowhere on top of you doing damage before you can even see them, massive lag and frame rate drop to those without top of the line PC’s as well.
Is this fun? no…, is this fair? no.. Some may say this is strategy in a sense, but it really doesn’t function well, it exploits the weakness in the game engine and each persons individual PC, and I find it basically a built in cheat.

Now I am not exactly sure if this is a guild ability or Mesmer or what exactly, I just returned after being away from GW2 for some time, but I was disappointed to see this is still going on in WvW. It needs to be taken out of the game or reduced in the number of players that can use it.

I lost game connection twice, the second time it happened I took a screen shot.

Error Code=7:11:3:191:101

This occurred on Yak’s Bend Server before the server reset for the borderlands. (7:03pm EST)

Yes that is the exact same error message I get and I am also on Yaks Bend Server. Right now game is unplayable unless I am in an overflow.

Disconnects disconnects disconnects. Don’t have this problem with any other online game or web browsing. When I was on an overflow though I did not get a Disconnect.

Maps also take a long time to load.

It does seem to take devs quite a while to fix some things that seem obvious to the players, Class balance is one thing that is so important to the PvP part of the game, yet it has gone almost untouched so far in GW2. I wish I could work on this game I think I could balances the classes better than they are.

No he is right, it needs a population cap, this would also solve the lag problems as well. All of it is due to way to many players allowed in the areas at one time, either the game or the servers can not handle it. Also it would balance the game out more as well for WvW, so the zergs don’t get so large.

Skill lag is still alive and well.

Simple fix as stated in title, lower the numbers, I will explain what this will do.
1. It will fix the very bad skill lag and frame rate lag for those with medium powered PC’s. This lag ruins the game completely as does population imbalance.
2. It will balance the WvW game out, limiting the high WvW population servers to have only so many per map allowing the lower WvW servers an easier time filling the lower player caps thus an equal playing field since they can now play without being outnumbered constantly.
3. Yes this will increase que time for the higher population WvW servers, but if you offer free transfers to lower pop servers, this would alleviate some of this and also balance things out even more.

Side notes you may want to auto kick players not participating at a faster rate than it is now. I would remove crafting vendors.
What the magic number is I have no idea, since I do not have the current numbers allowed per map, but as it is now, it is set to high. Zergs beyond say 40 players is probably to many.

This problem occurs when my server (Yaks) takes on higher ranking ones like Dragonbrand, etc, they have huge zergs running around and this just ruins it, skill lag and frame rate lag, basically not very fun beyond a certain zerg size.
In all reality it is a hard problem to fix I think.

I think the Rogue in WoW stealth was about right, not as OP’ed as thieves in this game. You had vanish, but then it was on a long cool down, there was an ability that reset it (I forget the name) , but that also was on a long cool down. Opening up from stealth ok, being able to fight 90% of the time in stealth isn’t.
Mesmer stealth isn’t really a problem because of the long cool downs and short time span, it isn’t even close to being like a thief. Mostly good for escaping really.

So far all this match has been is culling, portal bombing, and skill lag. I do hope they fix some of this soon.

Get rid of culling, portal bombing, and invisibility.
Give me a strait up fight not being warped on constantly.

MMO’s all have these same issues, end game grind nothing to do, doing the same dungeons over and over is a grind etc. This is where pvp, or WvW come in, even if you aren’t getting new gear or something at least you can have fun just doing the pvp thing.
I think they should focus on WvW and balancing the classes as much as possible.

This could also apply to the Black Lion Trader, why they don’t have the ability to sort gear by type of (light, medium, heavy) is a mystery.

I’d just like to see the dailies and monthlies not reset, just keep adding things up until you complete it even if it takes you 5 months. The after you complete one, it resets to start another.

I myself would like to be able to complete a daily doing WvW only, I can come close but usually I have to quit and do some PvE to finish it.

No class should be able to go stealth 90% of a fight, and one that puts out so much burst damage.

Maybe if all classes could go stealth as much as a thief, why not? fair is fair right?

I would like to see Engineers get some help.
But my main thing is the invisibility on thief’s, I would like to see what I am fighting once in a while. Really I think warriors and mez’s are ok, but then I don’t play Spvp, just WvW, so I can’t speak for that side of it.

Warrior, Guardian and Elementalist v Thief

Thief wins easily by being invisible for more than 50% of the time.

To be more accurate invisible 90% of the time. I never seen such an overpowered class in pvp of all the MMO type games I played. Even the rogue in WoW wasn’t even close to being this bad.
High damage output if fine for him, but the invisibility is way out of hand.

Dungeons sure are gimmicky in this game makes me just want to avoid them.

Basically why I don’t care to do dungeons in MMO’s at end game. You got immature kids on there who seem to think that a computer game avatar makes them important. Pretty sad really and it is quite prevalent in MMO’s. Shows you the sad state of our kids and young people now days.

I would say Ranger, in PvE you got a pet to help you. In WvW once you get to lv80 the longbow is good at bursting people down and that healing spring is helpful. You can also spec to get the longest range damage in the game at 1500.

That is why most of the time nobody even bothers with them any more, what’s the point.

Why do I get this when trying to sell item on the Black Lion Trading after I sell X amount of items? This has been going on for a long time now.

Maybe this is already planned on being addressed but I just want to chime in I would like to see more variety of gear for WvW badges on stats and looks.

Well I agree that the thief is a bit crazy mainly because of being able to be invisible 90% of the fight on top of massive dps, then top that off with great downed abilities make them pretty OPed pvp.

Elementalist and Mes I can live with especially since one of my guys is a Mes :P

I agree they did a nice job on most of the stuff in the last patch.

If you are not into crafting karma isn’t of that much use av lv80 as I see it.

I am idea, have the ability to stow away your pet and you gain its spirit giving you increased attack power for all your attacks.

I came to Yak’s from another un-named server and have been happy with the player there on both pve and wvw, would recommend for a new home to anyone. We do need more wvw players.

Its not complicated, its a numbers game mostly. More people in wvw means you win usually. Organization does help a lot too, but on average one ok commander can do the job when you outman the other team(s).

Yak’s is very feisty and usually will put up a decent fight even though we are out numbered many times I give my server that credit.

Be nice if some how an alliance would be auto formed when one team dominates to heavily just to balance it out, like built into the game somehow.

I dunno I bought the game for WvW anyways. I never even been to 70+Orr area and I have 3 level 80’s. Although I guess a person could label “Grinding” to anything in any game really.

no, just make this type of gear or of equal power available from doing WvW, through tokens or some means.

Right now earning gold and getting epic gear in WvW is far behind PvE.

We have like one set to pick from (Invader) only and that is it and it isn’t all that great. While dungeon gear is far better in every respect. AH gear is what I have to get usually and that takes gold which you also can not earn much of in WvW.

I’m not that big on gear but for those of us who rather WvW than run dungeons, I think we should have better gear options and gold earning potential to keep up with the dungeon runners.

Another thing is why does cultural armor take gold instead of Karma? That set should be pure Karma based.

I never run a dungeon yet, I wanted to try one myself I hope they aren’t all where you need to study a guide to get through it.

ok the error I am getting says “Code =7:11:3:189:101” when I D/C. It could be my ISP, but right now I am not sure as streaming and downloading seems to work ok.

I never use to have problem but this last week I am getting D/Ced and right now I can log in but none of my buttons will work as if the data isn’t getting through. My net seems ok as far as streaming video and regular usage.

Same here random D/C’s don’t get it, never had this much issue before, I haven’t noticed it with anything else.

From my experience the higher level zones are evidence of a rush job in the development process. Not well balanced, and not much variety. The artwork on the other hand is excellent all through out the game.

I like to play WvW more once past lv60, but the amount of gold you earn is very little compared to PvE. Could you increase this somehow, maybe increase drops or rewards from capturing objectives so it at least is in the ballpark of PvE gold earning potential.

The more I play this game the less I like the downed state as well, at least for PvP, WvW it should be modified in some fashion or something done to balance it out better.

I would main just like to see the finishing off move execute much faster than it does. It is just way to slow.

From my experience the PvE part of the game past lv50 needs work period, it looses its fun past this level it seems in PvE anyways. Too densely packed with mobs, lack of good content that was there in earlier level areas, and not enough variation or effort seem to be put in the quests the closer you get to lv80.

Yes I had this against a boss, nothing was in the way other than other players. Obstruction occurs to much in WvW with the edge of the keeps as well, if I can see the top of the players body my shots should not be obstructed.

Yes they should not be invulnerable at that spot, this occurred the other nite.

The stealth needs a nerf period. I’m sorry but you can’t have a player invisible 80% of the time doing massive damage. You have a group of 5 players and a thief running around invisible and no one can kill him, ok there is a problem.

Seriously thieves need a nerf bat at the very least to the stealth, you can’t have a player in stealth 80% of the time you fight them on top of doing 15k damage in under 1 second, a bit of a problem here folks.
Warriors seem fine to me.

Strange since this game is less grindy than others I played and I played the some of the same games as you (WoW is very grindy especially at end game), I guess it is a matter of opinion then.

Does condition boost the torch damage more or power? I was never sure on that.

Much better thanks. By the way did you do something to increase poison damage after this last patch? I swear I my guardian is taking massive damage from it compared to before.
