Guild Wars 2

Obviously the patch is 99% complete since it’s going up today sometime, so why can’t we get the patch notes BEFORE the patch??

Better yet, how about putting patches with full patch notes on a public test server 1-2 weeks before they go live.

or you could just use this

there’s no reason players or NPCs should ever be invisible when they’re right next to you. we just need sliders for npc and player view distances, and everything closer ALWAYS renders. if it tanks our FPS, then we have the option to live with it or reduce the view distance. just give us that option please.

while I agree that out of combat weapon swapping would make the most common back and forth swaps a bit easier, there is still quite a bit of inventory weapon swapping to be done.

- staff for keep defense
- focus offhand for defending seige
- alternate dagger with sigil of corruption for stacking cond. damage

some kind of minimalist weapon swapping interface that would work with keybinds would be really nice. something like the skillbar, but where you assign weapons to keybound slots so you could equip specific weapons with a keypress (out of combat).

fractal weapons from RNG just sucks. if they’re not going to be sell-able, at least make them purchasable from a vendor with tokens.

and rings need to be sell-able and salvageable period.

the “glow” is light reddish smoke

i was getting it as well. restarting my computer fixed it. not sure if it was the cause but i had windows updates pending as well, which were installed during the restart.

I was getting this error this morning (never seen it before either). restarting my computer fixed it. that’s probably not much help, but that’s usually my first step in troubleshooting and it worked.

all the destroyer weapon recipes are discovered just like regular recipes, just with the added destroyer lodestones.

e.g. http://www.gw2spidy.com/recipe/6441

for a d/d 0/10/0/30/30 build, what’s a good choice for an offhand sigil? right now i’m running a superior sigil of battle (main) and superior sigil of accuracy (off), but i think a sigil of perception would offer more crit chance at full stacks than the sigil of accuracy. or would it be better to run bloodlust or corruption? or maybe just fire? i’m at 2600 attack, 25% crit chance, 28% crit damage right now before food/boons, with mostly PVT, knights and clerics gear.

1. add the claiming guild’s tag to the lord and guards of keeps/towers
2. add the claiming guild’s tag and emblem to the map so you can see what keeps are claimed and by whom on the overview
3. add more and better skin options for exotic badge armor

why would this post be an infraction? now that the holidays are over, i’m hoping they give us some kind of road map for WvW, ascended gear, dungeons, etc.

Can ANY Warrior build do this???

Holy cow man, that’s not right at all. so much for armor types, useless.

Really though I don’t want to play a class that overpowered, warriors need some tweeks I agree with you there but that class/build in that video just needs nerfs, cloth wearer taking more damage then a raid boss.

13 min video of fighting 8-10 players at a time including npcs with 17k health, lets do the math ???? that’s an elemental with over 500K+ health and damage of a glass canon build with more damage reduction then a guardian, yeah something isn’t right here, I hope A-net gets to work on fixing this stuff if they expect people to pay real money for SPvP tournaments.

i’d just like to say that sure, elementalists can be overpowered, but only in the hands of a skilled player. i came across this thread looking for ways to maximize my effectiveness on my warrior, and after watching that video i decided to play my elementalist again. I’m running that guys build and following all his tips, and man, it is literally exhausting trying to play a d/d ele to anywhere near that level. If you stop to rest/collect yourself for even a second, you’re dead. It’s really fun/rewarding for the same reason though.

so i got my first ascended ring (which has stats i don’t want) from a daily today and i started wondering why all the ascended gear is account bound? even legendaries can be sold on the TP, so why can’t ascended stuff be sold also? also the few exotics i’ve gotten from fotm have been account bound too. what’s the reasoning here?

yes, but it’s pretty subtle. like reddish smoke close to the blade.

seems like traited warhorn isn’t removing conditions properly anymore either

azmodeus.3409:

one question though is arms VIII blademaster trait broken? idon’t see the crit % go up, is it a display issue, or is it not applying the bonus, its kinda important to know..

it’s listed as a bug in the stickied warrior bugs thread. also the sigil of accuracy doesn’t appear to increase the crit chance displayed in the hero panel either.

open world for sure.

i’ve never been a fan of instances. and even though there’s a loading screen between zones (and overflow instances of zones too sometimes), the zones are big enough, and non-constrictive enough that i still consider this open world. i’m used to daoc, which was the same way.

hopefully they do something to revitalize all the zones that are now mostly empty because of everyone just standing around in the lobby (LA) lfg for the flavor of the month…i mean fractals of the mists.

yep, same problem here. also if i filter on consumables, and page through, as soon as it gets to page 3 where it should appear that page is empty, and then the pages previous are empty too if i go back.

if i have one in my inventory, i can select it to sell and see the buy orders and sell orders, but if i right click and “buy more on TP” that fails too.

VOLKON.1290:

This happens a lot at the rich Ori node in SouthSun… I asked someone about it and they said they logged out there and logged in to mine the node.

I’m still not sure if I believe him, but the fact that he responded and it’s indeed feasible…

I do this too. All I really do is WvW, so I log in at the node, mine, and hit B to go to WvW. I log out in the WvW zone, so that when i log back in next time, i’ll be back at the orich node.

just to clarify, there is a tax on the sale as well as the listing fee. the projected profit is the sale price minus the tax.

nevermind, i found it in the sticky.

on my warrior using a 1h sword (main hand) and equipping the Arms trait “Blademaster,” I do not see a 10% increase in crit-chance on the hero panel. Is this a known bug?

i was hoping for a fix to the loot nerf…so i still have no reason to do dragons or boss events

this is a great thread and hopefully the devs will take it to heart. i’m kind of in a holding pattern just waiting to see what their next move is. i was working toward full exotic on my 3rd 80, but now i’m just hording all my mats until there’s a clear roadmap of what gear i’ll need. At least I can still have fun doing WvW in rares for the time being.

I’m sure this has already been suggested, but can we please get WvW armor with all (or at least more) stat combination options? Personally i run mostly Cleric’s gear, and the only option in the game is crafted.

Also more skins would be great. Maybe some higher skin “tiers” available for karma + badges to show and available only at higher WvW achiement (title) levels.

Frvwfr.4307:

There is an autoloot feature.. When you see it, just press F..

Takes literally 0 time.

These 3 of these sentences are contradictory. True “autoloot” means you kill something and the loot goes in your bags AUTOMATICALLY (no button pressing). Explain the physics of a world where pressing a button takes 0 time please.

If you’re not constantly moving in WvW, you’re either dying, or PvEing guards. It’s very rare that i get a loot bag and don’t have to either run back to it (because we’re pushing) or risk my life to run up to it (because we’re being pushed).

Anyway, /signed for the OP. if not autoloot to bags, autoloot to TP pickup would work too.

hopefully we can get some clarification from Anet on whether this was changed intentionally or is a new bug.

agreed. i did the exact same thing, except i didn’t bother crafting it at all. I looked up the pics on the web and then bought banded off the TP.

hopefully this will be fixed soon. this was from the reddit Q/A:

49. Magic find and just drops in general (with or without MF gear) seems to have been greatly altered to a minimum. Also, in the most recent patch it was noted that Veterans/Champions should always drop something at least, irregardless of what quality. Is the system working as you intended since the update or are there most definitely problems with it as it stands? Also, if it is ‘working as planned’ why the huge change in drops? Coupled with diminishing rewards it is hard to farm legitly and almost points the player to the Cash Shop instead of relying on self-reliance. Thanks in advance!

So yep you are right this is the question i have been likely dodging the most? The reason being is that it requires investigation. Vet and Champs should give good loot and there are a number of reports on perceived decrease in the frequency of drops. I will be discussing this in depth with the Production and Design team tomorrow and we will hopefully have more info soon

Lastly, if u think fighting dragons is still bullkitten, okay, the main thing is you have a chance of getting rares, in which 4 rares you combined MAY get you a precursor.

Someone got a precursor from Tequatl while I was mapping Sparkfly Fen.

i’m sure they were BSing. the dragons don’t even drop exotics, much less precursors.

the first time i did the dragons i thought, “wow, that’s epic! what a cool event!”

now i autoattack, go afk, and collect my blue trash loot for salvaging.

dragons should be a lot harder, and give much better loot, imo.

a 15 man roaming group IS a zerg

loot bags are a pain in the kitten i wish they would just implement proper autolooting (as in, no bags at all. you make the kill and you get the loot, period.)

yeah this sucks. i’m on SF and i enjoyed last week a lot more. at least vs NSP we had someone to fight all the time.

yeah there’s a ton more nub PvE’ers out getting map completion since we own everything. please come out and kill them…and take some kitten while you’re at it. honestly last week was better since we actually had someone to fight.

Tip: if you like a game (any game), stay off it’s official forums. there’s usually way too much negativity and it can be infectious.

i wouldn’t call it flames, but the destroyer sword does have a particle effect.

that doesn’t make any sense with a plat node, but i do that with an orich node. I only WvW so i just leave my character logged out at an orich node, log in, mine, then go WvW.

how do things that are wrong get marked as an answer?

Varl.3269:

Oh great, now the conspiracy theories have started.

How is this a conspiracy theory? In a FTP game, the developers only source of ongoing revenue is gem sales. So game mechanics are going to be implemented that encourage people to buy gems.

you’re not wrong. everything about the materials requirements (for pretty much anything) is designed to drive people to the TP. The drop rate is ridiculously low for any individual trying to farm, but since the TP is game wide, there are plenty of mats to be bought. Anet is (literally) banking on people getting impatient and buying gems → gold → mats to make top tier gear.

/signed for the OP’s suggestions. the champ karka should at the very least be an event.

also, does anyone know what the respawn time on that rich ori node is? it’s definitely a lot longer than regular ori nodes.

yeah i’m just hording all my mats, karma, gold, dungeon tokens, and WvW badges to see what other options they add.

“Our goal is to ensure we have a proper progression for players from exotic up to legendary without a massive jump in reward between the two. "

this bothers me a lot, because there was NO jump in stats between exotic and legendary before they added Ascended and bumped up the Legendary stats.

they “fixed” WvW by introducing a grind fest dungeon that everyone stands around in LA trying to get groups for now. nobody is left in WvW (at least on my server)…problem solved.

GOSU.9574:

I am still waiting to hear the OFFICIAL response as to why this game was sold as not having a gear grind, then 3 months later adding a gear grind. They can make official posts about this and that but when it comes time to man up to being lied to, they don’t have the cajones.

actually they did make an official response:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/news/A-message-from-our-Studio-Design-Director-Chris-Whiteside/first#post721451

seems like they have blinders on though, and don’t even understand what they’ve actually done.

kinda seems like the ancient karka should have been added as a dragon style event (without the 3 hour tedious pre-event garbage). since we can kill the dragons over and over for loot, why not the ancient karka?
