Guild Wars 2

yeah for a 7 week long competition such rewards are inacceptable. so many people stayed up late and fought hard. not even gems or anything like that for 7weeks. in 7 weekss pve u get enough achievment points to ulock a chest that gives way better rewards. seriously anet, not even the servers that finished last deserve such a bad reward. no gold?no gems, the finisher is limited?!?what a joke. 250 limited finishers. i go through that in less than a day.
ill def make a tshirt: i competed in wvw leagues for 7 weeks and all i got is this lousy tshirt!

Getting a little sick of seeing so many Mesmers and Guardians in wvw, both awesome in roaming and zerg play.

Maybe time for the balancing guys to look at these two classes and tome them down a little?

Mesmers are hard for zerg play, not “awesome” for it. Most mesmers are only set up to play minor support roles like dropping veils and null fields. It takes a pretty good amount of work and skill to play a mesmer that can do real damage to a zerg.

Not really, PU shatter with Veil and Nullfield. Traiting glamours only requires an extra 10 trait points for CD reduction (Which you don’t actually need), and you can get blind on glamour easy as you’re in Illusions anyway.

oh and confusion deals soo much dmg vs those weak healing signets right?
i use glam and all that and no its weak even with perplexity. 1 necrowell will do twice as much dmg! and what on earth are u shattering in a zerg? the clones die before they even reach or right after they popped.
try that build vs 35-70 man zergs with tons of aoe.
believe me i play wvw every day with organized guilds vs top servers and i’ve tried a ton of builds and atm none of them can even closely keep up with the current wvw meta.
anet cripplet the mesmers core mechanic confusion and took away over 50% of our aoe dmg. phantasms might get a few hits out there, but in a zergfight i survived and killed better on my uplevel necro than my lvl 80 ascended trinkets and weapon geared mesmer.

where are u playing?!?!?o.0 its like the opposite. we can barely find mesmers for portals. awesome in zergplay?!?!? what aoe? what toughness, what skills are they using that actually makes them viable in a zerg again apart from stupid veilbbotting and tw? i really dont know i we are playing the same game. but wvw is dominated by warriors, then guard and staff ele and necro. the rest is utility or useless.

Haralin.1473:

The balancing is totally broken in this game.

Engis get nerfed in every patch and Warriors buffed all time.

Imo it is cause it is the most played class so anet need to make money and classes which are less played get no love like engis.

I am glad my warrior is now 80 so i can switch to easy mode.

this… i got so frustrated with my mes in wvw, because after the glamour nerf we got no new aoe and we are light armor. commanders keeps asking for mes for portals and veil, but sometimes we cant even find 1.
wvw is hurting bad because of terrible class balance. rangers and mes have very little to contribute in a zerg compared to other classes. warriors rule and everything else is support for warriors.
veilbot is not fun at all! and if anet wants to keep making money then then yes they will need to bring balance back.

well at least healing signet is not the most overpowered heal in the game anymore. yay!!!…wait.

i got my necro in 4 days up to 57. here a few tips:

heart events do give xp, but not much. exploring,poi and wp give some nice xp. then also did story quest up to lvl 45 and ran 1 night karma train in wvw. plus crafted my tailoring up to 350.
also if u do have a scroll u can skip the first 20 lvls. but exploring alone and vistas and all that gives a ton of xp, plus there are events around the map u should join in. maybe ask in map chat if there is any events up and people that do champion trains will normally help u out.

Kirk Williford.2653:

Hey folks,

Thank you for the reports — I will have the team look into this!

yes please. i used a iwarden in a dungeon ithink it was coe where u have to get the bridge (sry pve noob)down and it just stood there and did nothing at all.

report that per email. it is a hack, but u are not supposed to put that in the forums.send them the emails. the more info and videos they have the better. hopefully anet finds a way to put a stop to this stuff.

i just made a necro 4 days ago. i havent played anything but mesmer for over a year now, but got tired of veilbotting and tw. i gotta say necro is a ton of fun and im planning on going power necro.

as i used a scroll i was able to put my first 5 traits into curses for ground targeting on wells and 5 into power.
think im gonna go for something like this
http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?fQAQNBIhZakRLTvSzTjfTBIV4aIF7qbUhhpeUu7sD-jEzAY/AitgoIQEHQqAQ2TjNBKEVbLiGraBTfSEV7xDk3YZ1SBExwI-w

already got her up to 57…so not that far to go, but cant wait.:-)

wow u are really whining about that?
they have no traits. no weapon swap etc! no elite no nothing. at least this gives them a little chance to play wvw. without it there is no point till lvl 80. wow some people are really jealous of anything, even an uplevel?!?!? wow just wow!

point is u got your toon u got your lvl 80 and exotics/ascended and all traits and skills u need, upl levels dont. so why on earth would u complain about up leveling? u just wanna 1 shot them is that it?

yep happened to me too in wvw and pve. i couldnt even pick up loot. thought my keyboard was broken…

iwarden is terrible atm. please revert it. its a warde=supposed to ward off projectiles and not randomly chase stuff. the change was bad and seems more like a nerf than a fix!

2 v1 will always happen. my server faced 2v1’s quiet often and yes it can be a pain but its part of rvr. its not cheating. cheating would be placing spies and griefers on other servers to get a cheap skill less win.

Ansau.7326:

Those photos are to prove that we are capable of doing big numbers, cause the other guy said we were just veilbots. I’m in BB, ~4-5 EU server, so I’m bored to face full blob servers, and I have to admit phantasms are not that easy to drop as an area, and sometime it’s a big fail.

Mesmer best aoe damage is through phantasms and shatters, or via glamour confusion. The second way is the easiest, but also the weaker, you drop 2 skills and just wait to see all with small purple numbers.
However, the first requires much more skill. Know when is the right moment to summon the phantasms, or make a good shatter/dodge rotation that allows you to do some damage without iPersona. So, for mesmers, it comes to the skill of the player to do a good performance.
I have been fighting in a much “professional” way in WvW for only 2 months, and most of the time I’ve been theorycrafting a personal mesmer zerg build. But now I think I have got the hang of it, so from now on, i will be more focused on upgrading my performance than testing builds and ways to go.

Btw, this is my build: http://tinyurl.com/p9etvgo
Only weapons are zerker. Armor is Soldier and trinkets are a mix of Cavalier and special Knight (+ Precision). Base numbers with bloodlust stacks and Defense Guards vitality are:
- 2300 Power.
- 34% Critical Chance and 68% Critical Damage.
- 2730 Armor.
- 23.6k of base health (By the end of the MU I normally have 25k of health).
- 61% less condition duration and -25% on stuns.

I suggest you to see some live-streams and videos of mesmers to see how they move. It seems that you run with the melee train most of the time or the zergs that you go are a bit disorganized, so you eat more aoe than you should.

u didnt read my post propery. first off im not a dude. secondly i said we are veilbots in big group fights! i didnt say mesmers cant do dmg. we do have a hard time to shatter or use phantasms vs big zergs however. i am not disorganized and always stay on commander and our mele zergbuster is very very organized. still doesent change the fact that im only there to veil them. damage is dealt by necro, war and ele, guardian is there for boons and also dps. mes is veil and tw. not dmg, not support, just a utility.
i do not need to watch any videos as i played this class since launch and used to be quiet successful. glam nerf and cc meat have changed the role of mesmers in zergs.
shatter wont happen as clones die too fast in a zerg. phantasms maybe u get lucky and they hit before they die. i used to shatter a lot like a year ago, then i swapped to glam and then all the nerfs hit. my mes now is not a threat anymore in wvw.yes u can go full power and maybe down a few players once in a while, but the classes that are important are the ones that can deal massive aoe dmg, which is quiet hardif your aoe relies on ai.
i use glamour, but it is not enough dmg to make a big difference anymore, especially since most of the zergs run a ton of warriors, that are almost immune to condi and all have healing signet……
idk but maybe in eu servers the zergs are probably different, but na it is melee and necro trains. there is so much aoe that the phantasms and clones get destroyed.
and please stop assuming that im a noob that needs to learn the class and watch videos/ i tried out probably every single build that has ever come out and switch my playstyle quiet often. if i run with the zerg buster, i have either pvt or cvt armor on(25k health) and yes i use lemongrass or lotus food and either melandu or scavenging runes. still a veilbot!

lol @ p2w. do u even know what p2w means?
p2w means u get a special skill or dps booster in the gem store. lets say a rune that is super powerful, but u can only get it with gems or a healing skill that is better than healing signet but only for gems. it will give u advantage in pvp if u use gems, so then it is p2w, not because of skins.
of course the gem store should offer great skins but this is all cosmetics and nothing else. and yeah u get unlimited gathering tools which is fine as it doesent affect skill balance.

yeah the running animation seems off and i dont think it was intended to be this way. i have not seen anyone complaining about the previous animation so anet felt like they had to change it. i personally dont like the new style as it makes my character look a little awkward.

i understand the frustration on both sides. when it comes to skins, i am very specific. i try to mix and match a lot and then i see for example a specific top and use all my gold to buy it, if it was taken away from me then i’d be upset too. but i understand t3 users too. the skin is exactly the same as the t3 cultural and cultural is 120g and should be and stay exclusive.
but the new flamekissed armor should be as stunning as the t3 for sure. lets see what the art department can come up with. it should be revealing as the previous skin, but not a copy of another armor with flames added. a nice belly free top and leg showing skirt.

Pyroatheist.9031:

If you try to summon iZerker immediately after a weapon swap, it will fail.

This isn’t a new bug, for what that’s worth, but it is a nasty one.

yep they never fixed that one. now iwarden is acting up and i fear that anet is gonna wait 4 months to fix it. :-(

Ansau.7326:

selan.8354:

if u wanna play vs large groups or zergs u are a veilbot an nothing else!

You’re wrong here.

those pics dont show really large groups. like i said in small groups i think we can do alright as our phantasms can hit well still. in a large group(15+) or zerg(30+) a lot of our phantasm die after they maybe get 1 hit off.
also i assume u wear berseker gear seeing those numbers. in na t1-3 berserker gear is not an option as a mesmer. i wear dire, rabid or pvt gear and will not see such numbers ever as i would die in 2 seconds if i was glass.
i run with a zerg busting group and die a lot even though i wear pvt gear and my phantasm die right ater i cast them due to war,necro and ele aoe. the only thing that works is feedback and chaosstorm for me.
i think all we need is 1 extra aoe that is not phantasm based and maybe something that gives us stability and isnt a mantra. as a light armor it is quiet a challenge to survive.
when running with the zergbusting group(15-20 vs 45+) i die a lot( because of cc) and i am not able to contribute much in dmg. so i run a glam hybrid with tormenting runes and sigil. when i went spvp with the same group i use a pu build and have no problem.
mesmers do great in 1v1 and spvp and i do feel we got a ton of builds available. in wvw i feel limited as lots of builds dont work well. i understand we are sorta a pet class, but a light armor class does need viable aoe that is not ai based.

Dekk.3459:

ezd.6359:

Ah… i want maintain “swiftness” and punishing abilities like in GW1 (confusion is not unique for mesmers). I want to be a tank or a support. Where all these possibilities for mesmers?

Why nobody fears mesmers?

Why dont you try theory crafting??? Mesmer can ‘tank’ easy, anchor eh. Have you ever tried sw/sw in a build?

Get yourself some knights gear and try 0/ 20 (II or VII and IV)/ 20 (IV and X)/ 30 (I or II or IV or VIII and X)/ 0
Sustained Phantasm in your face mesmer.

Really don’t understand where you are coming from… PYHOOYA

he probably comes from wvw. where all our pets die in less than a second and with all the great nefs we are stripped down to nothing in a zerg. yeah there are ok builds in wvw, but noone will ever say:" watch out they have many mesmers!" if u wanna be feared u gotta be a necro or warrior in wvw. since anet nerfed glamour to the ground there has been nothing given back to us for zergfights.
and all of u saying how aesome and amzing divers the memer is…yes in roaming and 1v1 and for sure in spvp. not at all in wvw: if u wanna play vs large groups or zergs u are a veilbot an nothing else!

Well tough, go play on your own servers :-)

Moron, they don’t have their own oceanic servers.

Shutting down at night not only hurts oceanic, but it also hurts NA people who work late, and have to play over night.

Also, if we shutdown night, then we might as well shutdown daytime contribution as well, because people have jobs, and school. So, basically, WvW would only be from 5 or 6pm to 10pm. Now, what timezone should that be?

Sounds pathetic. Quit crying cause you lose due to coverage.

agreed. for all those crying over coverage problems and want night protection. sry but rvr is not for u them. rvr is 24/7!

fixing the outmanned buff for sure would help, but still cannot be made very powerful as it will lead to even more griefing as we already have.(enemy server has 10 people that transferred to the enemy server and places 10 players + on each map to prevent the enemy getting the outmanned buff.
also having a night protection would make me quit the game as i am on an na server but play mainly oceanics and sea due to my work and on weekends i sometimes get to play daytime.

i speak for myself since i am a casual sPvP player and only plays in anet’s official 8 vs 8 hotjoin servers. nowadays in sPvP, i only play my warrior and he is far from godlike or cannot be defeated. he is harder to kill, yes, but not impossible. he still dies every now and then. so, based on this fact alone, my take is that, healing signet is not overpowered.

in short, healing signet is not overpowered because when a casual player uses it, they are not godlike, and still can be defeated.

Are you serious?

yes, i am serious.

i speak for myself, as a casual sPvP player, who enjoys using warrior in anet’s public 8 vs 8 hotjoin servers, and in WvW.

come, lets hear your counter argument.

there u go

a monkey could survive with that.
if something like this is possible in a game it sure is overpowered!

Dayra.7405:

Phedre Scion.1520:

What happens when my play time changes? Due to the nature of my job, the time I play in summer versus winter changes. What if I take vacation time that I am at home? Does that mean I would have to pay for server changes each time my play time changes? That would suck.

Not in my proposal (https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/Night-protection-1/3281118), your server would be just differently ranked (and matched) for the different times, but every server always plays. E.g. during the EU-Prime (16-24 UTC) your server plays with servers that have an EU-Prime-Rank around 6, during the NA-prime (0-8 UTC) for NA-prime-Rank 1, and during Pacific-Prime (8-16 UTC) for Pacific-Prime-Rank 15. So it plays different matches against different servers for every time-slice depending on your serves strength in that time-slice. This should ensure that every time-slice is better balanced than it is today, where only the mean-strength over the day is used to determine your match.

that would tear the entire communities apart. right now on my server we all work together. if na faces a different opponent than we do, its just not constructive. i know nightcapping can be frustrating, but punishing servers that have better coverage by ripping them apart is a terrible idea. i love playing when i want and working as a server together. if our sea gets steamrolled, our daytime can make up for it. also na will prepare and upgrade keeps for oceanics while oceanics will siege up for sea and sea will try to hold till na logs in. i like this system and dont want it to be changed.
maybe in eu the coverage is a bigger issue than in na, but here we do face servers like db, that have a weak na but insane sea coverage where they field almost as much as a t1 server.
we have a weaker sea but we usually prepare with ton of siege and scouts.
if my server is facing tc i dont wanna face another server at night i am facing that server for 1 week. full stop!
night capping has always been there and in an rvr environment that is part of the game!

anet maybe thought that people would be happy to see such a beautiful armor set in the gemstore, but forgot that putting the same armor design like a cultural skin should is a bad idea. im glad they responded and admitted the mistake. maybe anet sees what people like when it comes to armor. medium armor should be less coats light armor should offer both revealing and elegant.
so the new flamekissed should have something that can be similar revealing and elegant like the human t3 but still be a unique design. people are very specific with clothes thats why i understand that many people are concerned about the redesign. it took me a while to figure out my armor design and id be mad if one piece was redesigned, but in this case it is necessary.
cultural should stay exclusive.

I’d say light needs more hoods/fullhelms and less face stickers. (for males) So many face stickers, there’s not much fun customization to be done with that. These are the major reasons I wanted grenth hood and gasmask so much, finally a few helms that make a difference on light wearers.

well yeah for males there needs to be better options for sure. as a female mesmer i dont like to have hoods or helms at all, but the male light armor could use new stuff like hoods, but again it is light armor after all so hoods are more a medium armor thing while helms are better suited for heavy.

my mesmer. a mix between masquerade, phoenix and human t3

wow how ignorant! my whole guild is aus and im in na. because i work till 2am in the morning and am on an na server and u want me to not be able to play with my guild at the time when im off? i dont care that u went to bed. this is an international game and all servers are open for everyone to join. there is no oceanic server. there is eu and na thats it.
if anything changes it has to work 24/7 and not that when i play at night i cant cap anything.

If 4/5 are war/guard, why do I see so many wells?

Because people here play WvW mostly on forum. All classes represented in WvW pretty good.

not true. most of the zergs i come across run heavy armor classes and necros. there will be 1 mesmer for veil,tw and portal (and aside from that there really is nothing) and then 3-4 eles for waterfields/firefields and static. everything else is heavy and necro.

i would so buy particle effects and footprints from the gemstore. but i think the legendary ones should stay unique and not be in the gemstore. after all people worked really hard to get them and therefore they should stay restricted to legendary only. but different footprints would be great.

Aedil.1296:

It would be amazing if the removed flamekissed would just be an upgrade to the old t3 human skin and the new flamekissed become a totally new skin….i would love that. and you guys?

You say this but you just want to kill our Dolyaks! =(

darn, busted. but hey we rp walk while doing so. ;-)

Anet Read this Thread!

Here’s how you fix the iWarden Phantasm. simple as one two three.

1. Moment it casts, it gives AoE Immobilize.

2. Every time it starts a new attack cycle, it pulls enemies towards its range. Much like the curtain pull. (Disregarding first initial attack cycle)

3. From the point after the first initial casting immobilize, it provides cripple to enemies who touch it.

Plz do this thang!

That would be monstrously overpowered. Just saying.

agreed. the immobilize itself is already powerful enough, but the pulling would make it extreeeeeeemly op. and then the cripple and reflect…this would turn the whole wvw meta around and everyone plus his mother would play mesmer in in wvw because of this. i liked the iwarden the way it was before. when facing a pistol thief i could just stand next to it and feel safe. now it runs instead of attacking

Najten.2418:

I’ve already gotten this skin because I LOVED the look of it..
What if I HATE the new look of it? Will there be an option for a refund then, cuz it is a lot of gold/gems for something you don’t want and it would make me quite upset to be stuck with something I don’t want to use..

i do get your point but how about u guys give the art department some suggestions of what u would like to see.

yav.4952:

Tman.6349 brought this up on a thread on the Black Lion Trading Co Forums and I’d completely forgotten about it but once upon a time people were able to transmute Cultural gear onto whites and wear them on other races. Anet threw a hissy fit and rolled things back.

Boy things have changed.

A rollback may not be completely out of the picture here. Maybe…. hopefully.. But then again gems are involved this time….

I don’t actually mind them recycling (lesser) skins this way, by adding particle effects and so on, but for one of the sets to be a Cultural armor, and T3 at that, is ludicrous. From the looks of things someone over there has royally screwed up with their armor selections.

Ps. if this isn’t fixed, STAY AWAY from my Norn Medium T3. Human scum. Go roll a short norn and pretend to be human if you really want it that badly /flips table

wait waht? they actually banned people for that? and now they release it to everyone? wow those banned people should get their account back then. wow! they must have forgotten that part. what happened to the we want t3 armor be exclusive?

i think the best solution would be to give us a new t3 cultural. that looks great( not weird like the trickster thing) and has an epic partical effect or so and make it free for those who bought the whole set.
im sure they already have realized that this was not a good move and are probably gonna come up with some kind of compensation

i kinda am used to have something popular being given away to others when perplexity runes made warriors and engis get higher stacks of confusion than my mesmer and even did more dmg than we ever did. now all the other races get the same armor like my human. thank god i changed my armor around when phoenix came out. oh well… i want access to all the othe t3 light armor cultural then sylvari could look interesting. :-)

i use 3 differnt armor sets but the same build.

glamour with traited focus

1 set is rabid with tormenting runes and sigil. i had a 1v1 vs a warrior and afterwards he was like:" omg dat torment o.0!"

1 set is rabid with perplexity which will give u a lot of confusion dmg

and 1 for my veilbot duty with a zergbusting guild which is http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fgAQNArdWlwzqqHVTmGa9IxJFMf5oec9u/dSKMNqB-jkDBYhQINJDrJg0CJj8OQUGgZSFRjtGsIasKZwaGYqUo6YCRmcR2YGQKAYWDA-w

dire armor with scavenging rune and triforcebuild

yeah i hope this gets fixed with the next hotfix as it is very frustrating and crippling for me in wvw.

the warden now just stands there for 5 seconds and is slower in attacking than the image. it does run after the enemy but it is slow in its attack now and doesnt work in gates or siege. i will not be able to take down a cata or ac ever again if this gets not fixed. im condi based so the iwarden was my only direct dmg dealer and always was my favorite phantasm. please revert it until u found a proper way to adjust it.

Ross Biddle.2367:

Here you go

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2sT6iEqQvc

thats exactly what i experienced. also usually when a thief attacks me i get to spawn an iwarden that refelcts the pistolshots that strat from out of stealth. id didnt do that at all today because its too slow. also when killing a towerlord same issue. the wareden takes forever to attack. this is ridiculous and honestly look like a massive nerf to this phantasm and not a fix!
its slower now than the image
revert it please!

i also miss tc.miss your dolyparade and cant wait to fight u guys again.

yeah this is ridiculous. then give us a new t3 light human set as u made ours worthless.

great now i gotta skip dinner and go touch it!

yeah this cripples me greatly in wvw. the warden was pretty much the only reliable phantasm in wvw now its beyond useless and broken

yep
saw it there.this needs to be fixed urgently. i need my warden :-(

i hope they wont wait till next patch in december. we havent gotten a single response to this terrible bug yet. the warden was my most important phantasm in wvw. now its broken. they havent properly tested that change again.ugh!

pleas this needs to be fixed now. it was the only phantasm that worked for me in wvw. it is part of my build in wvw and this has to be fixed fast. it does nothing and either dies before it even hits anything or doesent attack at all. im a condition build so the warden was my only thing that could hit siege and doors. fix this now!

L2dodge? By the looks of that combat log you weren’t having too much fun that game :P

Of course we lost in a landslide, but I don’t think any of us was unhappy. Btw, how do you dodge a skill that has no visual clue, and when the opponent is hiding?
Big damage + no visual clue = power?

When someone is using killshot, he stands still and points his rifle at you for over one second. Pretty hard to tell, huh?

You talk just like they will stand on a point casting that over 1.5 seconds for you to see.
This build is a sniper build. You hide in a corner shooting it.

So after the first time the warrior does that, you should have the presence of mind to actually look around and find him. He’s a warrior, not a thief. Use your eyes.

excuse me? i’m half thief OKAY??

besides, no matter how much people wanna shame others for getting killshoted, its really hard to predict, specially on team fights

The first time it’s fine. However, after the first time someone on your team reports getting a 20k kill shot rammed up where no kill shots should be rammed, if every one of you isn’t keeping a lookout for that warrior trying to pull a snipe, you deserve to be 1shot.

Just so you know, this elitist attitude doesn’t earn you any respect in the community.

That’s not elitist, that’s common sense and self preservation. If you know a warrior is doing the whole sniping thing, you know that he will die if you sneeze on him, so go hunt him down. It’s just…smart play.

It’s elitism baby, but I don’t think you will accept that. So good luck with your life.

its actually not.pyro is a well respected member in the mesmer community and very skilled in spvp, but thats not the point here. he will tell u the truth in your face though.but he is right. it is your fault that u got hit by a killshot as u probably had a moment where u werent careful.

as a team u always have to be on the loockout for ambushes(thief could have shadowrefuged the other players, thief is in stealth, mesmer is in stealth, warrior is in sniping spot, etc..)
what i do, is always being alert at all time. i dont just walk and feel save when i see no enemy. i always expect a thief, so i dodge a lot and use my blocks while walking. i maybe got hit once so far by a killshot and once by eviscarate, but because im always expecting an enemy i usually block those things or dodge them.if one guy is playing killshot bunny from a typical camper spot, then thats just someone who played first person shooters with no skills( i usually go and hunt down campers).

so what u might wanna do in future is always turn your camera around u and check above u too and never just run somewhere, keep dodging whenever u can as thieves and killshot warriors could take u down in 1 second as a glass cannon. also dont stay still.

also moment like this happen in spvp. they are a good reminder for u to be more aware.

Hmz, to quote this in my signature or not to quote in my signature….

i’d say put it in your signature. its an honor to stomp pyro. before pyro moved to our server we faced him a couple of times and i lost several 1v1 vs him. so yeah it is pretty tough to kill him.
