Guild Wars 2

At first I thought ‘no way! don’t remove the swords!’ but as he explained why, it really does make sense to remove them. They are a beacon to where to send the zerg. You can move around a map so quickly that it makes perfect sense not to defend some places because, as soon as you see those swords at a keep, the zerg is on the way to defend it.

It would force people to stay behind and watch those valuable keeps. It would force commanders to communicate and coordinate movement across the map. It would cut the zerg sizes down considerably.

Siege weapons need to be siege weapons – no aoe limits on how many players they hit.

Those two changes would make WvW really interesting again.

I agree that drops in WvW should just appear in your inventory. In a big fight it’s hard to notice the drops, especially since you are constantly moving and you can’ quickly go from alive to dead in a matter of seconds as well. Nothing like being dead and then seeing the 6 bags waiting for you to be picked up.

Yea, the stealth mechanic in WvW is completely screwed up. I can’t tell you how many times I have been killed by nobody, speared by nobody, had nobody tie up a supply camp capping (with 30 people spamming AOE everywhere) only to find out the nobody was a thief who was constantly invisible. It’s really frustrating and needs to be fixed.

Stealth does not mean 100% super invisible can’t see me no matter what happy fun time defense. It means really hard to see.

Damage should break stealth.
DoTs should prevent stealth.

Those puzzles shouldn’t even be in the WvW servers, IMO. When you enter an open PvP area you should expect to get into a fight, especially while doing something that is strictly PvE. If you want to do your little puzzle, fight for it or go away.

You don’t have the patience and you are playing an MMO? You are playing the wrong genre of video game my friend.

Pet monkey – flings poo as the F2 attack (stuns, slows and blinds) and in town, it would allow me to play music and the monkey would dance.

Also, how about fixing pets first before introducing more broken ones?

My problem with pets, in PvP, is that they are pretty much forgettable. In other words, I forget I have one because it’s always freaking dead and with that a part of my ‘potential’ DPS. In PVE, they are tolerable, especially if I spec for them, but, in PvP – forget it, they are a waste of pixels.

That is mighty impressive. Also, Krytan looks as if it would be a pain in the butt to use on a regular basis.

I am one of those people who do not like dungeons and I am sure there are more out there just like me. I only do them for achievements.

Side note – stupid monthlies…

If I have to look at a butt all day long it’s going to be a female’s butt. Even if it is in a video game. That is why.

Long bow should have a longer range for one thing, despite the skill. Long bows are supposed to fire across battlefields – from one end to the other. Not 300 more than a short bow. C’mon now!

Pets need to be, well, not useless. If you do the traits for the pet it’s not all that bad but, it’s not that good either.

Short bow – give me my machine gun short bow back. That was just kitten.

As mentioned in another post by a dev, the utility skills are rather lackluster as well, thankfully they will be addressing them first.

And fix the freaking warhorn/axe clipping – it’s like they are hooked to the inside of my legs.

Haven’t you heard? The world will end in December. Why bother with January?

Emerge from the depths? Hmm…

Quaagan uprising? Woooooooooooo

(Kermit the Frog voice)- Punching babies! Yaaaay!

Don’t forget kicking kittens and punting puppies.

I feel the same way when it comes to running dungeons, I hate those things. At least you can get the WvW kills in a lot less time than it will take to do those dungeon runs.

EVGA GTX 560 SC here – game runs great on it.

What ^^ said. Leave ambient occlusion off. nVidia thought they got it right with the latest WHQL drivers but, no, no, the driver is no right.

I have not tried the 310 beta drivers.

System specs, hard drive speed, in game settings, background apps? Any and off of those can be related to long loading screens.

I looked back at your posts, you can pretty much give up on mounts, just an FYI.

Graphics:
Transparent walls – turn off ambient occlusion in the graphic control panel (until nVidia gets it right)
Defeated – working as intended

…and that was it for your graphics related posts, the rest were mounts, world completion, Charr shields clipping (it’s not just those things BTW) and some audio stuff.

Honestly, the transparent wall thing – a quick search of the interwebs and you would have found your fix. Are there other problems you are having that you never mentioned?

Oh and if you do reply, add system specs.

Just outside Baltimore, MD here. It was no where near as bad as I was expecting. It did keep me out of work for a night and possibly tomorrow. There are a lot of places without power and they won’t be able to fix any of it until tomorrow night at the earliest because of the high winds.

Worst I have had to deal with is my pool cover being blown into my pool.

Stuff I said earlier…

Been playing games for over eight years… I’m 22 now. Maybe it’s time to throw in the towel. I did have a certain vision for Guild Wars 2… similarly, BF3, ME3, SWTOR, D3 all gave me some cheap thrills before becoming incredibly stale to me. I think it’s time to move on. I’m thinking of just starting to develop my own games (given that I do love other games made by smaller development teams, like MC, CS:GO and BL2).

I have felt that way a few times myself. I have wondered why I play games, there’s no real benefit from them aside from wasting time sitting at the PC when I could be doing…um…something else to waste my time. I mean I work, spend time with the kids and the wife, do all the stuff I need to get done and when my work is done it’s time for having fun (oh i been working in the coal mine going down down…sorry).

Maybe this isn’t the game style for you, maybe gaming has had it’s time in the sun and now it’s time to find a new time waster. No matter what it is, as long as it makes you happy and relieves the stress of the day, go for it and I hope you have fun doing it.

No inner Elcor needed on that one.

Is that you, Jebus?

(Sincerely) It’s obvious you really wanted to like this game otherwise you wouldn’t have put so much effort into this post. Maybe it’s just not for you, maybe you had it in your head it would be one certain way and when it’s not. This is not the game for you.

(Sincerely) I hope you enjoy whatever game you move to next.

Had to channel my inner Elcor there.

I am going to go a different route here, no, I won’t try to motivate you to play this game. Why you may ask? Because this is a game, in the grand scheme of things, there is no point to this at all. It’s meant to be fun and if you aren’t having fun then stop playing and go do something else you’ll enjoy.

No amount of cheerleading can make you enjoy something that obviously does not spark that feeling of fun in you. Forcing yourself to play any game is defeating the purpose of the game in the first place and you should just stop playing. Maybe stop for a month and come back, maybe a year and come back or don’t come back at all.

I have played a number of games I really wanted to enjoy and love but they just never clicked with me. I suffered through months of really not wanting to play and hating every minute I played out of some bizarre sense responsibility to the game thinking that I had to play it.

Just stop playing, find something else to do and have fun doing that.

Any argument I could make against open world PvP has probably been said, not going to read 117+ posts. Besides, this game was never designed with that in mind, it would completely destroy the PvE & WvW mechanics of the game.

Just use them, you said they were useful items.

I would suggest checking your hops to the GW2 servers. Your connection speed/ping may be solid but, somewhere along the line between you and the servers could be a problem.

aaron.4317:

Combat timer prevents stealth, problem = solved.

Damage should pull you out of stealth and DoTs should prevent stealth. Stealth is a viable combat tactic, but damage should prevent it. Thieves are meant to hit quick, hit hard, stealth and fall back. Not stealth and hang around forever in the middle of a big fight.

I wasn’t asking for names of people doing things. This was a suggestion to make a change in how we see things in WvW.

How hard would it be to make the player’s name available in WvW? Something like this maybe:

Player Name [Server Tag – Clan Tag]

Anonymity while hacking is always a bonus, let us report the hackers with their actual names. They may not be so bold in the future.

As the OP said in another forums post : (https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/thief/Don-t-you-dare-touch-Backstab/418005)

“Mediocre players that know how to whine are the bane of forums. "

Those are arrow carts, not rangers. We are not Over Powered (not even remotely close).

Coffeebot, this is the definition of Ranger, as it relates to a class of player in a video game, as seen on the GW2 Professions page:

Rangers rely on a keen eye, a steady hand, and the power of nature itself. Unparalleled archers, rangers are capable of bringing down foes from a distance with their bows. With traps, nature spirits, and a stable of loyal pets at their command, rangers can adapt to any situation.

It says nothing about travelling far, being in a special branch of the military or patrolling national parks. So, Rangers should be THE bad kittens with the bow – we are not.

The way I see it, if you want to transfer servers, you should be unable to do so until the WvW reset or you should be unable to participate in your new server’s current week’s WvW.

CD here and I don’t care what tier we are in really. I just want to have a fight that lasts more than the weekend whether we are winning or losing. This whole one team stomps the other two, even if it’s us doing the stomping, is just not so enjoyable. The fact that it is happening on almost all the servers is indicative that there is a problem with the ranking system and it will just take time for them to settle into where they are supposed to be.

As it stands now, whoever is winning at the end of the weekend, is, generally speaking, the winner for the week.

You just basically described the reasons why the thief will eventually be adjusted (nerfed).

I am pretty sure I have missed picking up some bags due to the nature of PvP. Shoot-n-scoot all the time, by the time the bag appears after I kill someone, I am already 15 feet away from it. It would be nice if the tokens just auto-deposited into the inventory or the bags should have a more noticeable effect on them.

Damage should break stealth and any form of continuous damage should prevent stealth.

Yea – getting killed by no one there really sucks all the fun out of life. I pretty much stop at that point.

Currently, my server is getting it’s kitten handed to it and I am not enjoying WvW at all.
Previously, my server was handing everyone else their kitten and I was not enjoying WvW at all.
When the fight is closer then I enjoy the hell out of some WvW.

Getting camped in your spawn is zero fun.
Camping others in their spawn is zero fun.

Hobby or Addiction?

Yes.

All I can say is: Boobies FTW.

Sounds like a great idea. Was creating a WP at DB today and asked for donations, the silver was covered in about 2 min but I still had to eat the karma cost. Which kinda sucked.

I would suggest a line test for speed and a ping test. Could be net lag causing some of the problems.

Szluh.6420:

because router is reconnecting time to time and my internet provider will change it.

There is your problem and who you need to talk to to fix it.

Background apps? Free space on HD? DxDiag?

Your drivers are from 2010 and with that laptop, you will want everything on low settings and you might get 30fps out of it. That system is at the very low end of the requirements for this title.

Update the drivers.

Try lowering your sound settings to the absolute bare minimum. You are running a soundmax chipset with 2009 drivers. Sounds lockups can cause that to happen as well.

Not sure why 690 is dropping fps so hard. It definitely shouldn’t be. My 660TI’s in Sli work perfectly. I took a short clip in the Norn starting area testing Sli.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mdz8WRnc28U

what program are you useing to display ur fps,load etc? id much rather use that then keep tabbing out to see gpu z lol

MSI Afterburner does this. EVGA has one for their cards as well.

I take it you are unable to download the game?
