Its the pu trait thats making them to strong. They can have insane dmg and 100% steath up time + then new mimic skill makes leaves little room for counter play.
Okay, but thieves could do that for how long now? Ah yes, since the beginning.
Seriously? We had to endure decap engis, spirit rangers, turret engis, s/d thieves that evaded until the cows come home, meditation guards that burp blocks/heal/cleanse whenever they press some key, celestial eles and engis. Mesmers are not OP, they are great 1v1 and that’s it. The PvP in this game is team-based.
Learn to adapt and roll with it.
Yep, that is exactly why eles take diamond skin… You might want to rethink your build or your approach and not hammer on some unbreakable doors (eles).
Tequatl is not any more fun than before and on top of it, what kind of balancing is it when you have only one small part of the boss you can crit? Also organization should not be the major “challenge” in content.

You can make as many spreadsheets as you want since Arenanet can (and probably does) adjust the drop rate of things between patches so the long-term data might just be useless.
It is quite viable. The slow/resistance/quickness combo of a traited time warp makes everything much easier (especially in those non-speedrun groups that benefit more from slow).
On the other hand, it has always been viable, just that now the traits aren’t a garbled mess anymore and you can have a few interesting options.
Can we get something like a “we are working on it, we’ll be fixed”?
while I’d like to see the animations return, I do NOT see a reason to attempt and elevate this above the “annoying” status it deserves. If it truly effects your “game play”, then there are other personal issues you may need to consider addressing.
Asking what the status is (without the demanding, petulant tone) is certainly acceptable.
I wonder where the line is that makes elevates stuff above “annoying” and i also wonder if we shouldn’t just play with stick figures since that would also not be game breaking and it would not affect game play eh?
Seriously, these things are part of the “living, breathing” blabla they said they were trying to create. And if “small” things are not affecting your game play then why even bother?
Besides, most of the demanding tone comes from the method they’ve handled this “issue”.
Also… i’m sure that you are not the authority on what passes for more than “annoying” and what does not – for everyone else. Or what is acceptable.
F\
This is a flagrant double standard. At this point, we need to do one of two things:
- Immediately restore the human female idle animations
- or -
- Immediately remove mini pets from the game until they can be “fixed” to behave properly during cutscenes.
Bring back the animations! ’Nuff said.
Uh?
Minis are optional items that are often designed to be silly.
I don’t see how someone having one out that happens to mess with the mood of the setting is as weighty an issue as having the player character, which is mandatory, react poorly to the mood of the setting.
I understand the animations need to be fixed, but thats a reallllly huge leap to try to make your point.
No it’s not. It’s exactly the same thing. Whether it’s the silly minis ruining the immersion or a stretch or some tree branch being in the wrong spot. It’s the same thing. The player character did not react poorly to anything, it (just like Kasmeer and other npcs were) was playing out an idle animation while being idle. In a scripted cutscene. That you watch once, maybe twice. Then you are done. Not bothered by it anymore. But you are standing idle elsewhere more often than being in that one particular godkitten ed kittening cutscene.
The title is not deceiving, look at the OP… This thread is not about the HoM being down.
Mes doesn’t really benefit from a glass cannon build, because the base damage is comparatively low, especially due to the relying on phantasms and clones for damage, which have low health pools (even when traited for). So they can die before they pull off their skill, or only get one shot off.
What the heck.
Because more fiery gear was just what we needed.
And as I’ve said, the bug should get fixed, but it is of little importance when there are critical skill and profession bugs/issues that have been around for months or even years without a fix.
“Critical skill and profession bugs” are not ruining a company’s reputation and do not generate that much discontent among players who have been supporting the company for years.
Maybe it’s dumb, but it’s human nature and we’ve seen it happen before. There is a “final step” for everyone that once Anet oversteps that, they’ll leave. It’s different for everyone (ascended crafting, no precursor crafting for ages, no new content, etc.).
This is just one thing, yes. There are other things, yes. But the way Anet is treating this case is just not ok. I understand for them this is yet another “raging idiots” thread and they’ll fix it – at some point, maybe in a year(?) – but that’s exactly the problem. If you make two games (GW1 included) that have titles that you can earn, make people earn those, then hand out those titles for free… you can’t sit on your hands waiting for it all to go away. In the end these are customers and perhaps Anet does not care but an unhappy customer is not a returning one.
The last time people said we should wait patiently because it’s just going to take some time, we waited over 6 months for a fix and we have not heard from Anet ever since.
Yeah sure we can only sit and wait, in the end they are going to fix it or not but that bain of man is right. This is 100% Anet’s mess and they should clean it up, no matter how nasty the issue is to unravel. If you don’t want to have nasty issues to deal with, maybe try to test things before they go live.
PS: You do not go around spitting in the face of people that supported your company for years.
Another “we need an expansion” thread. Thanks, what the forums need is another one of these.
You guys are trying to make sense of a lore that will never work simply because it made sense in the framework of GW1 where we could play only humans and – unless we throw away 90% of that lore – cannot be applied to GW2’s attempts at creating a framework.
Five races, five different belief systems and since arenanet never presented us with a framework in which all of these belief systems would fit, we are left with speculations.
Eternal alchemy? Gods? Spirits? These can all be dismissed as racial beliefs but we would need something that explains how the world of Tyria works, preferably without totally disemboweling GW1 lore and with tons of retcons.
This is not new. :P We’ve always known that (most) Asura have a superiority complex when it comes to the other races.
Time to take them down a notch! Rata Sum will look like the “Uncategorized Fractal” when I’m done with it. Who’s with me?
Sign me up on that anti-asura crusade.
It works in solo queue at least. I just had a match where the mesmer on our team used it and it was talking.
gwamm, grinding without any meaning and/or measure 8-).
Is what people say if they cannot be bothered to get it. “Grind”? Maybe, but what makes it meaningful is that you have that goal you wanted to achieve.
Meaningless would be if you would do all those things and not get a title for it.
I’m glad you are happy without showing titles, at least you don’t have the issues that OP does.
Living in a world where males decide what to be “feminine” means. And you wonder why we don’t like that…
The world has moved past that decades ago.
There is nothing more satisfying than getting hate whispers from a thief.
It was a pain in the kitten to get and looks terrible. I’m all for scavenger hunts but then we get this complicated mess that mawdrey was.
Maybe do it more like the Black Moa Chick hunt was and less like the mind of an insane risen wizard.
We’ve elected Kiel to be on the captain’s council but that’s still a council with many members. My guess is the captains are distributing the money between themselves to be able to afford the newest asura airship or Divinity’s Reach condo. Perhaps we should go on the streets and chant:
- WHAT DO WE WANT?
- FIXED HOLES!
- WHEN DO WE WANT IT?
- RIGHT NOW!
PS: Taxes are being collected by a certain Evon Gnashblade who must be filthy rich by now. Taking his share of everything that is being traded in the world…
It’s not weird because broken armor is not “worn” by your character so it would affect pvp stats since they count as not being there.
GWAMM and Champion of the Gods. Don’t bother with the others.
The loot system in the Silverwastes is rather good, because it encourages you to actually succeed in the events not fail-farm mobs.
Well, everybody knows that asura are self-absorbed, egotistical and 99% of their ideas are worthless because their experiments fail, blow up, kill people, devastate landscapes, etc.
So in light of that, don’t be offended by anything they say.
Next time they ask you to fix what they broke just laugh and walk away.
I’m sure in about 4 years the necro should be just fine.
You are more optimistic than I am.
It was actually 5 years so you might have to wait 1 year less.
Mesmer: Puppeteer: for the next 5 seconds, enemy movements copy your movements.
Each captain is probably leading a company of seraph, therefore more than one in one place is perfectly fine.
So, today is patch day. Much excitement all around. I wonder if there was an animator who took it upon him/herself to fix our little bug.
The /scratch emote has to come back (not holding my breath though).
How about you guys turn on the sound and if a mesmer tries to moa you from stealth, you dodge/block/deny line of sight?
Nobody loses out on items due to RNG, we were never meant to have everything. Please stop being entitled and start practicing the idea that some things (most things) we cannot get (in life, in game, everywhere). You will feel more happy if you can actually say: i would like to have this but it may not be within reach and life does not end if i won’t get it.
To be fair, if you spam your skills brainlessly then you are doing it wrong.
What is the point of this thread? People who play certain classes have listed the classes that somewhat counter their class/build combo and soft/hard counters should be known by most anyway.
The GW1 system was the same mindless farming just that as it was pointed out here, you could sell the shiny.
Most OP class? xDudisx. He seems to have an endless, unremovable defiant stance and it does not matter what you throw at him, he shakes it off.
Nobody wants your used socks and underpants anyway.
Of course they are “ok” because they don’t have any burst potential, they have not enough sustain to stay on a point to cap it. If mesmers would run any other build they would be absolutely ignorable in any pvp match because they would not do anything useful.
I understand what you mean by turning these into emotes (which are much needed) but it would not serve the same purpose as people here are asking for. The characters would still be driftwood while standing around.
I know i am actually bumping the thread but the problem is, he is not a troll, he is on a crusade against mesmers. No facts, no experience, nothing will persuade him that he is actually talking nonsense.
In Guild Wars 1 if you have a minion master or spirits in your party when a cutscene triggers, they would start randomly attacking the newly spawned cutscene participant npcs, each other, the player characters, whatever they want…. Wasn’t THAT a problem for woodenpotatoes or the devs or anybody? Jarring, criminal, immersion breaking?
You can check it, it still does that after 9 years. I know it’s a different game, but it’s the same company. I know they don’t want to spend resources on that game anymore, but they didn’t bother before either.
Minions going rampant in a cinematic is fine, stretching is inexcusable.

I would love it if the dye tab would retain the setting that i use (sort according to hue) after closing the game client because then i would not have to click it every time i log on. Granted, it’s just once per session but still, it would be great.
Are you implying the developers are giving us false information? Because Gaile just stated that this all happened because of a bug report/thread that DarkOcean found and not due to developers don’t liking them.
So you are upset that Mesmers have so many bugs that aren’t being fixed quickly but you want THIS to be fixed “actually soon”?
I guess you are not familiar with the meme-like Soon™ in relation to GW2. But why can’t i be upset about mesmers bugs not being fixed and still want this fixed actually soon?
Also, people in that thread never wanted to have these animations removed just turned off for NPCs.
Wait so now it’s the sigils and not the mesmer itself? Even if both sigils proc, that won’t do the magical voodoo one-shot things you mentioned.
We’ll find out that everything after War in Kryta was a bad dream of Gwen, suddenly we only have humans, and every account is reset. Lore makes perfect sense again. Welp.
It won’t be added back because it’s not a priority now. It was back when it totally, absolutely jarred, ruined and whatnot the living story.
Seriously, it ruined the living story? The OP in that other thread did not even ask for this to be removed, they asked for a change to the NPC animations… Why remove it then?
Never mind.
