that way you HAVE to have a cond build in your team to be effective, no cond means no high-end DPS.

That just forces a different type of “trinity” on the group. I get you want your CD build to be desired, but that solution is no better than the old GW1 days when a Monk or Rit was required to do certain missions….as big a backward step as they could make.

it’s better then spitting on necro’s while the current trinity steamroll through dungeons, i want conditions to be needed and that’s exactly what this does.

tho, earlier it was said that it’s better to make conditions something to connect on traits for certain attack types, that also needs to happen to make this work.

So you are advocating these changes just so your Necro is a desired class in Dungeons? That explains a lot.

How about something that would make the game better for ALL classes and players?

ah, so like what we have now where all professions are better…except for necro’s…..-_-

if they don’t change it in exotic tier, at least make the skin free to apply.
it’s a fair deal considering the high price, some gemstore skins are cheaper then T3 armor….

i want scarlet back, she really needs more attention

Here is my Captain America.

try the Aetherblade medium armor skin, that one looks almost exactly like the WW2 version of cap

originally it was more so the day is actually day and night starts on time (no pun intended), the shopping part came later because of modern times.

anyway, i always change the time the saturday before it changed, i am not up that late anyway and with the time going forward it can mess things up if i don’t do this on time.

hehehehehehahahahahhaha
uhmmm no, it’s not, the chinese market has gems for about 800GEM = €1,56.

…..full-DPS builds can be nerfed accordingly.

You say the damage is not to be focused on yet you want to nerf DPS builds?

I seriously can’t see how this would make the game better for anyone.

CD is less effective than direct damage and while that may upset some players, frankly, it hardly matters in the larger scheme of things. I guess I can see that 3 to 5 CD players have difficulty in Dungeons, but that is quite a nitch market to be pandering to.

i see you’re not even reading and just skim through this, i said nerf the DPS damage (so the normal DPS that makes all other dmg types useless) and make the same damage more powerful when conditions are applied.
that way you HAVE to have a cond build in your team to be effective, no cond means no high-end DPS.

in GW1 you can only play war in kryta if you have the first chapter, this was added well after GW was first released and well after the other two chapters were released and expansion.
i don’t think the old is going to be dead……if Anet does it smart ofcouse.

auto-deposit mats option would save a ton of time and lowers the chance on a full inventory just because of mats.

vigil’s honor….the rest look way to much like glass statues or 2 handed maces.
would like to have mjolnir….not the one you see in GW2, that’s a pathetic excuse of particle effects, i am talking about mjolnir worthy of it’s name.

why are ppl so focused on condition damage, it’s better to make damage more efficient when X condition is applied.
like when an enemy has burning on them, fire damage does more damage then when they don’t have burning on them.
the higher the stack, the more damage you do, it makes conditions allot more wanted and full-DPS builds can be nerfed accordingly.

ArenaNet could allow fan translations. They just need to put in an override to load strings from a different file, then release a tool to edit that file. Someone could then translate it into whatever language and pass it around. This is assuming of course that the game can actually handle the other character sets.

They would still need to hire a translator to make sure the fans translated it properly and not putting in anything that they shouldn’t have.

not if it’s client based like addons

it’ll be popular when HoT is released, gliding with them :P

Or they can be used as backup when telling someone they aren’t pulling their own weight.

that right there is why not, i know for 100% this is gonna ask for yelling and cursing just because a certain player has trouble keeping up or that player is under-geared.
you might think it’s all with good intentions but guess what, cesar tried to conquer europe “with good intentions” yet the roman empire did more hurt then it did good.
templars killed in the name of god “with good intentions” yet they showed how much a slaughter house they left in their wake.

it’s an exaggerated way to explain this but that’s how things are, you might think it’s a good idea but believe me, nothing good can come out of this.

just to ask before i make up things not true….
when the game was in beta they said that an asura can create a golem suit but anyone can jump in, is that true?

to be fair, i have played plenty of AAA MMO’s with at least 3X more storage space and they are F2P, tera for instance has about 4 tabs worth of storage in it’s starter tab and you can buy even more space if you want to.
in GW1 i have only bought 2 tabs yet i have 7 tabs of space, more then in GW2.

i did buy 1 tab extra in GW2 because it’s just not that much, fair is fair GW2 has among the smallest storage i have seen.

I just went over this. Tera starts you with 72 bank spaces (that’s just a little over two GW2 bank tabs) and lets you buy up to 288 (equal to nine GW2 bank tabs). Guild Wars 2 starts you with 381 bank spaces (including materials storage) and lets you buy up to 2478 (again, including materials storage).

i never said materials…..just normal stuff, i never store mats in the storage (with exception of GW2), i rather increase inventory size.

i do hope zooming wil get a slider option, one that can be used by holding MB3.

i just use it for skins i can’t sell, it’s kinda annoying to have a skin on the top of my inventory while that’s where i focus when i get new stuff.

taking back what was rightfully theirs?

Destroying Ascalon, forcing Khilbron to destroy Orr and helping the Mursaat take over Kryta?

At least Charr die with dignity rather than cursing ENTIRE KINGDOMS to forbidden magics.

yeah, like hiding behind their machines and call them self warriors, that’s so honorable….

after 2 feature packs and so much fail afterwards, you’re still hoping for another one?

Going by that logic they should never ever release anything at all. Because with every single release people complain about what was added.

you’re missing the point, it’s ok to release new stuff but it’s not ok to release stuff while the previous times they screwed up big time and don’t fix their mistakes.

after 2 feature packs and so much fail afterwards, you’re still hoping for another one?
i hope that IF they have one they both better ask us if this and that change is a good idea and that they release enough info so we don’t have such a big speculation threat that only ends up with disappointments.

the easiest to understand, the fastest to remember.

no firearm for necro or ranger, no more weapons for warrior (they can already use almost all of them).

however, i would actually like to see necro’s use the longbow (since GS is already coming true, yay), engi’s really need more weapons so the mace and axe would be nice.

one part immersion does is letting you enjoy the scenery, let the environment sink in and enjoy the view you’re getting.
that’s why i call GW2 so dead, i can’t judge the expansion just yet but when i look at the new places it literally feels dead.
as if i am visiting a graveyard filled with blind ghosts, doing whatever they want but not a single sound comes off it.

to put it simple, GW2 is till now just as immersive as watching a movie with the sound off, they should really make the environment count more and care less about pushing ppl to do events.
don’t put them against each other so much and use plenty of neutral creatures, there is nothing wrong with just walking through the jungle and enjoy what you see.

the NF pre-order actually gave you a free char slot, so in the end you have 9 slots when you have all chapters.

Wethospu.6437:

The truth is that if you are measuring the size of the pencil, no matter how you sign your name, the bigger pencil will be bigger.

This game doesn’t give you extra points for style or friendship.

no, but it also doesn’t hurt to be friendly to other players, they might actually help you.

but about the app, i see no harm in it but would never use it, if DPS is really that important then go ahead.

oh, one other thing, would be nice if tps is improved, the more i play games like skyrim the more i like my character off the middle.
i know we don’t have the hands-on battle system in GW2 like target-less games have it but it’s a start…..

Where’s white wings for my Norn Valkyrie?

i have one my self, still waiting for a fitting helmet that doesn’t hide my hair.

all fun and games but it’s no good when all you get is a simple closer look, if done right have it like this so we can immerse our self allot more in the game:

Ascalon will rise again.

Ascalon Eternal!

We’ll get back at the Charr for what they did.

BTW can you still play the old GW? Is it also plaqued by the White Wolf style politicaly correct nonsense, when every race has a primary antagonist group from the same race (flame legion, nightmare court, sons of svanir etc.)?

No. No it is not.

It’s also not limited to White Wolf doing that. That was in Forgotten Realms quite a bit before it made it over to World of Darkness.

And what about the old GW? Still available, or gone?

it’s still there, dunno if you own a copy but if you don’t here is a link if you want it:

you’re better off buying the trilogy and platinum edition, it’s cheaper and you get more out of it

actually the pitch slider is quite cheap, it’s just that they first need to make it work properly without getting a tunnel voice ones you change it but when that’s balanced it’s as easy as putting on……your sunglasses. YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

ESO has this allot easier….just find a place to fish, select bait and fish.

there is plenty to do, it’s just that when you rush trough everything it becomes to boring to fast.
i have plenty to do, simply because i don’t rush through everything.
the same with GW1, so many ppl complain about not having anything to do after 2 months already, even after almost 10 years i still have stuff to do.

don’t get through stuff ASAP, take your time, let the “i need to be first” kids have their glory but don’t let them ruin your fun.

a staff that is not gay.

unless you have a character holding a staff in all the wrong places, what’s so gay about bifrost?

as long as they remove the unlock part it’s fine by me, the only “unlock” i am ok with is the trait tier through levels. (and not to high in level FYI)

this picture will say enough, really want this

at times i wish i had a kill item just for my self just to kill all the annoying champ commanders claiming the champion.

i love to see a big zerg going after a big boss and the boss insta-kills them but when i get there on my own it’s an easy kill for me, just to kitten them off……..also, i am then playing as a necro to wring it in even deeper.

still kicking my self for deleting it, if i knew about the wardrobe system a year before i would’ve kept it but because it was nothing more then town clothing it became just another storage blocker.
would be nice to actually have a way to get it back, something like if your account was made before X date you can retrieve it from the birthday vendor.

they better listed or we’ll pull and guess what that means.

BlakThornArrow.2389:

A Black Sword with Black flames XD or a simple black blade haha

We already got one, it’s called Eternity

I hate it

ah yeah, because eternity is black and has flames……

anyway, i think he means something like this:

if a different weapon is nothing more then a recolor then don’t you think that’s more a problem on Anet being lazy…
in GW1 you can color your weapon at any time yet plenty of greens are just recolors of the normal, nothing is different here.

I get the feeling that lots of people here are instantly spitting out “holy trinity holy trinity” whenever someone’s not satisfied with the status quo. The thing is though that this isn’t about holy trinity, it’s about almost every other build but damage, being it via boons, conditions or just pure dps being not viable enough, to a point were skilling that way would be detriment to your team and yourself in every major aspect of the game and it makes you wonder why certain attribute combinations on items are even there when Arena.Net seemingly doesn’t want dedicated “healers” or “tanks” – not even in the classical way, but in the GW2 sense.

And Lazaar, while it’s true that the meta right now is called support/control/damage there is no dedicated support/control/damage in the sense that someone skills fully into control or fully into damage. All three categories are hybrids of damage dealers + team utility. So your point’s really moot.

My point isn’t moot, because Guild Wars 2 is designed with the idea in mind that everyone can fill all three roles. Also, there is people in this thread that do want a hard trinity in guild wars 2, don’t pretend they don’t exist.

if that’s the case then why is it then only a small group of like 3 professions can do the roles effectively, can a necro do just as much DPS as a warrior?

the necro can do just as much dps as a warrior, he just doesnt have a lot of team synergy, and doesnt fit well into the way teams are handling dungeon encounters on a speed level.

warriors arent considered the best dps for some time now, its more about the utility, variability, and teamplay they can bring to the table, than their dps.

in fact the dungeon meta is more based on teamplay and support than highest straight up damage for a class.

necro doesnt play well with others is what it boils down to.

No necro can’t do as much dps as a warrior. It will do around 10% less dps. But your point is true. Except thief and Elementalist, most other profession do around the the same dps +/-15%. Its the utilities they bring that make them useful of not.

and that 10% doesn’t really seem to matter in most content as it would just take 1/5 of 10% more time

As stated it isn’t the 10% damage that matters. Necros are a selfish class and don’t offer anything useful to the party be it defensive or offensive. Example: Guardians do inferior DPS to most classes but have blocks, swiftness, blinds, reflects, etc.

blindness, condition remover, AOE heal, health steal, etc..
all team based, i think it’s time you actually play a necro before you talk crap about a necro, i have bin playing a necro for quite some time and i know very well that necro’s are actually quite selfless if done right.

last time i played a dungeon i didn’t do it for DPS, i actually made sure the group didn’t die……and a good thing too.
they only did DPs when i was not there and died constantly, the moment i stayed close to the melee profs they stayed alive.
it’s just a sad thing that despite their own lack of skill they still blamed me, just because i was a necro.

i just hope that the GS for necro’s is a DPS weapon that makes the rest of the profs look like second class, it’s time at least 1 weapon makes them feel week and useless as much as necro’s has it right now.

where is michael?
i need popcorn when i see all the rage saying “rev is useless” when they can finally play it, it’s gonna be a joy to watch.

Ardenwolfe.8590:

You know, you lose all kind of credibility when you say Guild Wars 2 is ugly. And then you compare it to the video you posted as being better looking?

Come on now.

i play ESO, that game looks far better and has more natural maps then Anet has ever made.
also, you have to live under a rock if you think BDO is ugly, the environment alone makes GW2 look like a really bad ugly duck.
and you think i lost credibility?……don’t care anyhow but still…..with such uneducated look…
