Guild Wars 2

You – and most “veterans” – did not want to be treated fairly. The whole thing was about getting something extra for being veterans…. That is pretty entitled.

Now you are acting entitled because you feel you deserve a “sorry”.

I hope they won’t be congratulating themselves for sorting out what they should never have broken in the first place.

What are you talking about? Engineer has been quite possibly the best class for years. As of this moment this patch made it the strongest class

Exegeration is an art. And you are an artist.

Just last year Engineer was the second least played profession in higher levels of pvp, barely more popular than Mesmer. In pve and wvw it has always been one of the least played professions.

Engineer has most definatly been one of the worst professions for the longest time. Untill in pvp the meta changed enough that annoying bunker builds, who cannot kill but just stand on a point, were good. Outside of Player versus Gimmick engineers remained unpopular.

Not like Guardians, or Thieves, or Warriors. About all of which you can say, without a hint of irony, that they are quite possible the best professions for years now. And i’d honestly drop the “possibly”.

How is he exaggerating? Engineers have always had a few options with which to make life a nightmare for pvpers. HGH, Static Discharge, decap, condi based on IP, turrets, cele rifle…

The best thing Scarlet has ever done was to bomb the old LA into oblivion. Ugly, cramped, provincial hamlet it was.

They said it would be fixed together with something with lots of fanfare… HoT release or 3rd year anniversary? Maybe both at the same time?

They’re playing.

Get real please. Engineers have been buffed.

It’s not boring. It looks really amazing and the services are generally well-placed. There are a few exceptions to that though.

They sure went overboard with giving the wings more animation. They didn’t look realistic before, but now they look too fluffy and as if there are no bones in them…

Apart from some UI issues, it’s better.
Picking the 3 trait lines you want to use is just terribly designed. Not even designed, just slapped on.

Burning is in no way more fun than raw damage… Not less fun either, but not more.

It’s probably intended, charr are not exactly known for being subtle.
They also eat all kinds of stuff most likely.

Exactly, this is being fixed. At a rate that is possible for the people assigned to it. I’m pretty sure that something this important will be fixed and not swept under the rug. I might even bury my tin foil hat and hope that they fix it so that the ill-gotten goodies are removed.

Hi Jon,

I just want to throw this video your way to let you guys know that you may need to consider some of the drawbacks with this “Slow” implementation:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCYXcr8zORY

It behaves as intended, but it allows for serious trivialization of the current content in situations like this.

I think this is worth looking into…

I get the point but why bring up Lupicus every time? That thing has stopped being hard in 2012…

I know, right? The greatsword is such a nice skin finally. Cylindrical things aside…

Endless Soul.5178:

Yeah, first person view is pretty neat, and as a mainly Asura player, I can get some very interesting perspectives.

~that is until a Charr or a Norn decides to stand in front of me with those massive wings~

Cheeky… Are you one of those asuras who happen to stand around behind human and norn females, going unnoticed?

Vayne.8563:

Fester.9328:

Yea, been doing the karka and helping other guildies do it as well, everytime we get one or 2 done, 2 or 3 more show up and away we go again!

Sounds like a lot of work. Glad I’m not in your guild. lol

I just waited for dulfy to put up a guide. This is as much “fun” for me as watching grass grow.

Grumpy Hermit.9681:

I left within 5 min from experiencing an empty plaza with a stupidly separated bank and trading post and offset Mystic toilet( and i am fairly sure devs know this buy the poorly implemented speed boost npc). I don’t go all gooey for aesthetics if it totally undermines functionality. That alone basically killed new LA for me, I havn’t even bothered looking for crafting or portals without expecting tumble weeds.

Aren’t you a real grumpy hermit?

I hated the old Lion’s Arch because it was a garbled mess. Even the ruined one looked better. This new Lion’s Arch looks like a real city for starters.

It’s weird how little this was noticed before. I get it, it’s a “support” trait but one that is really powerful.

All other classes deal more damage too.

Not entirely sure it’s unintended… There are legit ways to stack might out of combat, why can’t this be one?

We’ll have to write marauder. Or just keep calling it power (as opposed to condi).

Having read most of the pitchfork threads before, most of the people said that they would be fine with a character slot added to the offer.

Now they have added that and people say “but it’s only a character slot”, “but it’s only if you pre-purchase”… And then the remarkable “core game is still broken” which makes even less sense.

Are we not happy about the character slot now?

dekou.6012:

ChoChoBo.6503:

Pre-purchasing isn’t the same as buying after launch. There is much greater meaning to pre-purchasing a game, you are literally trusting Anet to deliver a great product, and for that trust Anet is thanking veteran players in the form of a character slot.

And if I don’t trust ANet to deliver a great product, they show me the middle finger instead of trying to win me over. That’s encouraging.

ANet has already annoyed a lot of players with their low-quality LS updates, stupid NPE and trait revamps and a multitude of other things. I haven’t played GW2 for months. I checked out the expansion, thinking maybe it’d be a good place to come back, but it’s “pre-purchase or go away”. Ok, I’ll go away, I suppose. Again.

Win you over? You sound like you already made up your mind. “Pre-purchase or go away”? What? You are not forced to pre-purchase… you can buy it after it came out. What the holy fishfingers are you talking about?

Exactly. A lot of people seem to miss the big nerf this trait relocation means.

Agreed, exclusive items should stay exclusive and not come back in some merchant NPC’s store.

They’re not forcing you to pre-purchase. You can choose to pre-purchase.

Just like you are not forced to play meta builds.

I think saying “good luck” to a person who keeps dying randomly is quite cruel.

You didn’t get double charged… Sometimes i really fear for the people who call themselves veterans in this game.

insaneseagull.7063:

I think it was a rushed design on Anets part. The reason it’s a giant sink hole there is because it was originally designed to be the Canthan quarter,eastern inspired. But China and some few more didn’t like that. So Anet changed it into this sink hole. I don’t think they have any story ready for it.

But there’s always the possibility of creating one…..

One day weird seismic activity is reported. A team (our heroes) investigates and finds out that destroyers have made their way to the sink hole and are crawling up towards Divinity’s Reach.
The seraph and ministry guard and every able-bodied person in DR is mobilized to stop the incoming hordes.
But sadly, the destroyers keep coming thus the city is forced to build a network of defensive structures in the caves below the sink hole.
Occasionally (every week or even daily?) a new great destroyer appears in these tunnels and guilds can take up the challenge to go and slay this beast triggering a daily reward chest full of goodies and other exciting things. During their excursions they could find hidden sources of Primordus’ power that they could tap into.

I can always use another char slot.

What i don’t understand is, how you say you understand that raw numbers and balance are two different things, but you still say flat out that celestial (and the builds that use it) will be buffed. All the while acknowledging that they will be less effective than before.

Why not destroy Rata Sum then? Or the Black Citadel even?

Ah, because nobody would even notice, got it.

Well, the best method is to use the forge on sundays. Always approach the forge from the south, run around it twice in a complete circle, then turn until you look to towards it. Then perform a /bow emote. While putting in rares, always pick them in a diagonal pattern never straight.

If you throw in enough rares, this will work 100%

Crafted agony infusions go into the second infusion slot of those “Infused equipment” pieces that nottsgman linked. Nowhere else.

Doggie.3184:

Jaymee.1560:

No? I got lagged out before I could get within 20 feet of it.

Ah.. if only. if only.

All this could of been avoided. u.u

Why? Did you get a lucky karka foot that increased precursor drop rates?

So i checked my wallet and…

… a fly escaped crying “FREEDOM”.

cough, cough All this dust.

One gigantic thread to rule them all.

I hope it won’t surpass the uncrowned king of the forums.
This gem here:

There is an ill-tempered barracuda that spends its time on land, stuck in those glass/energy bridges around CoE. I wonder why it is ill-tempered. I always release the poor guy from its misery (by slaying it) but it respawns in the same spot every time.

I think the problem is that everybody is hating on Anet and many people say that “the content is blah”, not worth the money…
But the price is not set by the developers. So while you just voiced your opinion that the price is too high, if you worded it that way, you also said that the developers didn’t create good content. Now that’s what they mean here, state your opinion but put the blame where it belongs.

The devs can’t “try harder” or affect the price and the bundles, they sit there, creating what they think is going to be fun content for us and then we come along and say it’s all kitten (without even having seen it).

So yeah, don’t be an kitten about.

It’s simple, move some of the medium leg armor designers to the light and heavy section and move the light designers to medium.

EremiteAngel.9765:

Like i said, i am sorry if i offended u but pls dont hate on my posts pls. Ty.

Well, that tends to happen if you start a crusade for some reason or the other. Eventually people will get fed up and the kittenstorm starts.

But to stay on topic… I think your crystal ball is off by a huge margin.

You could, you know, buy it and play pvp and stronghold and fractals, experience the specializations. If you play for 100 hours, that’s 50 cents per hour. If you don’t have anything to do, you might as well consider that for a minute.

Purple Miku.7032:

They had to adjust the difference between exotic and ascended because for the longest time ascended gave absolutely no benefit over exotic in areas below level 80. That is obscene since there’s only one level 80 dungeon aside from fractals, and I think this change is actually a good one. There should be a difference in attributes regardless of what map you’re in.

I agree it should be a difference, but it’s worth mentioning that there are 3 level 80 dungeons outside of fractals (if you count explorable modes, which we usually do anyway).

You can’t just disagree with the pitchfork crowd.

I’m pretty sure if you would look more into how each class work you would not write the same post again. The effort and time it took to make this post could have been spent reading up on those things you found problematic.

It would sound fangirlish any other time, but i would say right now it just balances things out a bit.

Ilya or Lyss if you want a purple pistol.
The warden torch looks nice if you want a different skin. Or the CM torch skin.
