Guild Wars 2

Takedown Round seems to have a 2 second delay instead of 1 second, as it would explode right after net shot’s immobilize ended, which is a 2 second immobilize.

Has too much spammable CC and the damage is too high for the CC it has. It only serves to show how broken CC is in this game because you don’t have to time your CC at all. CC just overwrites so you aren’t punished for mistiming a CC.

The dodge bomb needs the ICD removed and the ICD given to the blast finisher trait.

Runes with on heal effects are supposed to only activate on the healing slot skill.

Add 1 second of stability to all stunbreakers that don’t give stability or invuln. Make it so you can’t chain CC on someone that’s already CC’d, like GW1.

Problem solved.

Fear and Taunt should just be removed. Standard CC is fine, but having something take control of your character? NOPE, not balanced, and certainly not fun.

Orbital Strike’s AoE circle that enemies see isn’t matching the 360 radius.

The Gates Assassin.9827:

I’ve heard from some people that the gadgeteer trait is a bit lackluster. Do you agree and if so, what do you think would make it better?

I think it’s a decent trait but I wish the recharge reduction was baked into the trait by default instead of relying on the overcharge buff. One thing I would like to see with an overcharged AED is an AoE explosion around you when you take lethal damage, something like the nova shields from Borderlands. Not sure how the other gadgets could be buffed, but Utility Goggles could use it’s 5 stacks of might back instead of 3 stacks.

Just hoping for the bugs to be fixed with it so I can start using it again…

tetrodoxin.2134:

If you think this is bad, you’ve probably never played GW1 :P

GW1 actually had healers though. Not to mention warriors couldn’t spam their knockdowns, they had to time the knockdowns or else it was wasted.

Using a skill in stealth should reveal you. Problem solved.

Ricky Rouse.1583:

With no real consistency, it seems like using the new Gadgeteer trait can actually cause you to use an ability twice. I’ve had two stacks of A.E.D., used Personal Battering Ram twice, and even Utility Goggles has been used twice. I still don’t know what causes it.

It seems that the overcharged gadgets are treated as seperate skills. So you can use the normal skill and then get overcharged, then the overcharged version will come up.

And forum thread glitched out!

Mine field doesn’t seem to have forceful explosives baseline. The explosions are much smaller than they were pre-patch.

The Detonate Tooltip says 240 on that one. Trying to test range on dummies, but it is hard cause they fly out a random. It is looking more and more like they mean for forceful explosions to be baseline, but things got goofed.

I used to get all five mines hitting when standing on top of someone, now it’s hard to get even four to hit.

EDIT: Maybe the random spread was changed, I’m not sure.

Yeah taking forever for me to download as ewll. Goes from 50KB/s to 0 and I have to restart.

Orbital Strike(Mortar F5) is unblockable but the tooltip doesn’t state this.

Heimskarl Ashfiend.9582:

I think mostly that Rangers are like that because they are generally logical people who care about balance.

Longbow/Rapid Fire wouldn’t have been buffed if that was the case.

Orpheal.8263:

1) Nerf Stun, When beign Stunned, you shoudn’t be able to be CC’ed instantly again.
It has to work like Stealth/Reveal. You stun somebody and then you have to wait some time, until you can stun a foe again.

Yup just make it work exactly like GW1. In GW1 if you were knocked down, you couldn’t be knocked down again until you got back up. So if someone used a KD on you while you’re on the ground, it was wasted. It actually rewarded timing and skillful play unlike the current system we have now.

Instant A.E.D would be a great change. There is no reason to not have it instant since Thief has an instant heal.

Only if Ascended also gets sigil swapping and stat swapping. Legendaries were supposed to be just skins.

Definitely worried about this change. Stability in it’s current state is needed because of all the CC in this game and the fact that CC overwrites and players get rewarded for mindless CC spam instead of punished for it.

I wish they would reconsider and either remove taunt entirely or just keep it in PvE. Losing control of your character because of a fear or a taunt is not a fun game mechanic.

I just gave up on the achievement.
It’s to hard and to RNG based sadly.

It has nothing to do with RNG.

It does because most skills have the same cast time except the auto and reflect.

Roy Cronacher.1576:

I’ll be one of those people running around on a Revenant.

Just make sure that Revenants have a skill called Spirit Rift, like GW1, and it’ll be my new main.

I wish they would have just fixed stow weapon instead of going after skills individually. Stow weapon was the root of the problem anyway.

Yup clerics eles with monk runes, benevolence sigil, aquatic benevolence can heal for 1k-1200 with water auto attack on staff.

Most of the “difficult” content in this game isn’t really challenging. It’s mostly one shot mechanics, stunlock, and bosses with huge amounts of health.

Getting one shot doesn’t equal difficulty :\

Having no AoE circle is really annoying. The worst is when you get hit by those rocks because they spawn on you instantly if you were near the edge of the ring.

Took me a ton of tries to get the rock dodger achievement. I’d get hit by the rocks during the divine fire part when I was no where near them. Same goes with the boulders the dragon hurls towards you. I stood in a “safe” spot between 4 circles…not in any AoE circle and still got hit.

Getting one shot by a boss or constantly stunlocked doesn’t make it challenging, just frustrating and tedious.

The fights were more annoying than anything. One shot mechanics don’t make it challenging.

I have this happen to me all the time. I have to stop moving and have overcharge shot be the only thing pressed or else it might fizzle if they aren’t directly in front of me.

Just make disables not stack or overwrite and problem solved.

warherox.7943:

As long as ascended weapons get the same stat + sigil swap as well.

Ascended is only for ‘best stats’. Legendaries are the only weapons that have (and should only have) stat swapping abilities – it is, after all, one of the perks… that, and their animations.

You wouldn’t expect ascended armor to have stat swapping abilities. I would if it were legendary armor though. It’s the least it should have.

Legendaries were supposed to be only for skins, so ascended weapons should have the same stat swap mechanics.

As long as ascended weapons get the same stat + sigil swap as well.

Wyrden.4713:

u can try strafing either

Impossible to strafe now with the projectile speed buffs and read the wind also increases projectile speed.

If only you could strafe projectiles like in GW1, oh wait can’t do that anymore with the trait + projectile speed buff.

Astral Projections.7320:

How long would people play the game if exotics were worthless vendor trash and a few days of doing world bosses got you all the Legendaries you could possibly want?

Well exotics that aren’t precursors are worthless vendor trash because they aren’t ascended gear.

Linaeus.6253:

You don’t need anything above blues to complete almost every section this game offers. Blues and greens drop so much, you can outfit all your characters without even needing to buy from the trading post. YOU choose to use exotics and buy runes/sigils, but they are far from needed.

“Everyone, including casual gamers, by level 80 should have the best statistical loot in the game. We want everyone on an equal power base. The rare stuff becomes the really awesome looking armours. It’s all about collecting the unique looking stuff and collecting all the other rare collectable items in the game” – Colin Johanson

Shanks.2907:

There should be just enough time to get a stomp in before their 2 and 3 skills pop.

Most #2 skills rarely interrupt stomps in fights because of all the ways to completely counter someone’s down state. Blind fields, stability, invuln, stealth, all make someone’s interrupt while down completely useless.

Plus there is no downside to being interrupted. You get interrupted you can just stomp again.

This is the rifle+mines+goggles build I use. I don’t particularly like AED as the cast time is still too high, but the toolbelt does as much damage as surprise shot.

selan.8354:

well anet will have to put a diminish return on cc anyways if they want people to have a good experiance. its not fun to get chain cced chain stunned, chain feared, chain knocked down, perma crippled, perma chilled…all these are terrible things that shouldnt be in a pvp environment without dr.

They had a good system in Guild Wars 1. If you used a knockdown skill on someone that was already knocked down, it was wasted.

Just need something to promote timing and less spam of disables.

My Engi Doctor Beetus

Minstrel+Kraitkin

I just did warden 4 and didn’t get downed, didn’t get hit, we completed it. Nope didn’t get the achievement credit.

Also don’t know what is up with deregulator as I’m stuck at 3/5

All that needs to happen is making CC not overwrite or stack, like in GW1.

Warriors shouldn’t be rewarded for spamming knockback->knockdown->stun one right after another. They should have to wait and time it correctly instead of spamming them.

You use a CC skill on someone currently disabled? You should get punished for it.

cdimgcc.1638:

Autodefense Bomb Dispenser, Napalm Specialist and Modified Ammunition aren’t grandmaster tier worthy imo.

Make Modified Ammunition 3-4% per condi or add some extra effect.

A few requests if possible!:)

What needs to happen is disables need to work like GW1. Use a disable on someone who is already disabled, and it does nothing(except damage,etc). This way it promotes timing and awareness instead of spam.
