in a way it’s a rhetorical question because i know the play styles and classes involved. plus i’m not too sure but there was a change to put bags by the feet of ranged, or was it just siege. if true it would further the “reward the no-risk playstyle the most (and pve)” design philosophy of anet.
totally wrong. ranged classes pick up kills all the time without risk. and they do this by shifting the risk and costs onto melee. it’s obnoxious and so are the devs for promoting the idea.
repair itself is not a problem it prevents you for just running in and dying.
Please state your class and your playstyle. eg. if you turn tail while the front line dies at every opportunity and use others as shields for own advancement.

Also, I don’t get what all the complaining is about, the most I’ve ever had to pay is like 10s for repairs and that’s after like a few days of WvW with no repairs.
Also? …..? Please state your class and your playstyle. eg. if you turn tail while the front line dies at every opportunity….I have no doubt about what I believe are the common answers to people who state it’s ok.
to make death matter and encourage trying not to get killed.
easy to say for ranged classes with plenty of escape over others and cowards who desert at the first opportunity. the nerve you have of saying this statement is indescribable. all the ranged, run away while melee die classes believe it’s ok. ….wonder why that is….wait i don’t it’s obvious..
save yourselfs is op? l2p bud, theirs HARD counters to save yourrselves and guardian bunkers arn’t even that effective, their just the most obvious bunker choice.
no. i wasn’t clear… it was nerfed by anet already specifically for spvp and shouldn’t have been. i know they are not effective which is odd considering other classes are better at being a guardian.. it’s stupid ‘balancing’. no one can even call it that.
some options needed:
- setting for reducing white flashes and blinding white vistas
- switch for authentic female sylvari pain sound
- more game sounds split up. many combat sounds too loud vs. other effects like footsteps. same goes for different voice sounds and different environmental sounds
- dark background for the character screen
tab is also deficient when there are 8 minions surrounding the necromancer or mesmer copies. doesn’t help when players run through you all the time either
- no reward compared to equivalent time spent on something else
- bad balancing: anet nerfs guardian bunker (“save yourselves…” etc), but make/buff engineer and necromancer bunkers. trying to capture point when they can drop high damage on the point and you are melee is stupid…oh sure, you can avoid the point….except hthat is letting them win
- targeting is bad too for stealth rogues that keep stealthing and running through you, dropping targeting every 3-5 seconds
Very hard to target players with mouse when they keep moving and stealthing. It’s not like it’s really easy to click on them have it select. This really needs attention. The targeting is bad and it’s gone on for month after month. It literally loses me battles every time and is starting to seem like a ‘feature’. It’s apparent frequently so it’s hard to believe it’s anything but deliberate
lowest settings still happens. no way to check latency because anet wants to keep it hidden from players. unlike nearly every other online game, anet haven’t put a simple latency indicator into the game (and it’s nothing to put in either).
End result is that a very good connection from Australia’s East Coast has around 250ms ping, with 280-300ms being a more “average” connection. As you start moving west across Australia, it increases more as it takes time for the packets to propagate across the physical cables in Australia too. (We have about the same landmass as the US, so think East Coast US to West Coast US type links).
Aussie player here also. And I’m on the western side of Australia. I can confirm that my latency is constantly 400ms+.
how do you check it? Anet suspiciously don’t allow players to check it (to my knowledge), unlike nearly every other competitive game out there.
So we’ve been investigating this issue and we feel that Adnul is being a little too mean. We will have a change in soon that should make him give players a bit more breathing room while still maintaining the difficulty to a degree.
Thank you all for the feedback and apologies for any frustration this has been causing you.
great so i beat him after a lot of effort now it’s easy mode for everyone…..gg. i should just wait in future until encounters are nerfed.
i really liked this aetherblades….i critique the game a lot without praising it much on the forums but there are definitely events i enjoy…the other one was the festive season with the toys and some elements of the others.
If my Norn female had been a heavy armour user, I’d have bought it as soon as it came out.
you may not have read my post but female norn’s in heavy look fat. so you aren’t missing out. a skinny norn female might work if you chose it. not really sure tho
one of them makes female norn look fat but looks great in the screenshot….if you look at the difference between the screenshot and the preview you can see it alter your character’s appearance…. i already hate how armour often reduces breast size on female norn/female sylvari (another thing they haven’t corrected btw).
1. RNG I want to get my legendary done and finish the game. How I deem it done in my eyes: all 7-8 original dungeons complete, personal story, 100% map and a legendary, and all orders, and some pvp. The legendary is the problem from me quitting the game.
you realize you are making a pro-RNG post in support of the developers? by saying rng is the one thing keeping you from quitting you are basically saying it’s a good system. i’m laughing my kitten off right now if you intended otherwise. it’s like saying, “the one thing sweet shops do that keeps me from never buying another sweet is to put sugar in the sweets.” yeah, i’m sure they are going to help you with your ‘problem’ and lose money…lmao
- your point about camps. by making the npcs strong, it discourages smaller amounts of players/solo players-but too weak to help defend against a large group if u r solo/duo defending
- not seeing where siege hits. can’t see if it hits anything/no numbers show at long range=no point using it alone. plus, it can’t kill anyone alone either.
- making siege hard to build=no point doing it in small groups unless you have a lot of players around. can’t do it solo/duo
-siege timers to destroy-make it not worth building siege. you can’t hang around alone/duo bc it can’t kill anyone and you don’t want to build it only for it to disappear.
-generally making it hard or impossible to take anything with small amounts of players=go to zerg for more objectives/xp
basically nearly all the design decisions promote zerg play
• Massive farm of PvE where guy get 1kkkkk gold and WvW is getting green item from chests.
this is very big. how on earth wvw content developers think it’s appropriate for pvers to come in after farming their gear and gold in pve, and rule it over wvw players who get nothing by comparison playing wvw, is bad. i can’t believe it when i think about it.
And not only that, but the efforts of wvw players actually give pve players a pve buff to increase their reward while the pve player gives no buff to wvw players…making it even more obnoxious anti-pvp design.

only if the pain sound for female sylvari was back in the game…it literally crushed me to find it taken out and the artistic vision of the sylvari further watered down to glorified tree cosplayers.
i really don’t understand the rng issue. randomness is a part of mmos from wow, which had random item drops that everyone supported since wow first came out.
I think at this point they want to make the game as mindless as can be for casuals to enjoy
Quit insulting casuals. I’m casual and I like complexity. I hate mindless grinding tho. Ironically it’s hardcore players, not casuals, who make the game mindless by supporting mindless grinding.
I know for a fact that many, many people left GW2 because of the RNG issues and the “not enough permanent content” issues. I’m about to play other games because the Mystic Forge is making me angry beyond belief.
Ironically that’s not why people should leave. if anything it should be great ideas and bug/gameplay reports are simply ignored. I got headaches more than once from the blinding vista flashes, reported it multiple times and it’s the same.
sounds like bs to me….but you are an elementalist. i said guardian…and most of the time was support….anyway… 4×24 = 96 hours …playing 2 hour every day = 7 weeks for 1 character.. and you would have to be doing nothing else than farming tokens like a bot, rather than contributing to wvw in a meaningful or intended way…..so i think your comment is a little obnoxious bc you are under-exaggerating it and ignoring the fact that you are an elementalist, and promoting a bad, grindy way to play the game as ‘normal’ rather than participate in wvw. plus you don’t say if it was recent or from release.
Guild Wars 2 doesn’t have the gear grind, and the amount of people playing GW2 compared to WoW, a game with gear grind, is a lot less than WoW. .
i feel like there is a gear grind. i exclusively did wvw with my guardian and it took way too long to get a complete exotic invaders. plus, you make barely any gold in wvw. and there is no ascended wvw either so it’s impossible while the pveers come in with ascended and can beat you (when you spent all your time in wvw….not really a great situation there).
best thing for me about gw2 is the character modelling and animation (flawless imo and worth making it that good, female norn my favourite …plus many of the weapons and armour look great with the attention to detail) and some environments like the snow regions. i love the voices for the female sylvari -that english voice….:3- and female norn.
Other MMOs couldn’t give a kitten about what people liked and did what they pleased.
there is a lot i would like and i haven’t seen one thing implemented/fixed….. in fact, a lot of stuff i liked has been nerfed (save yourselves, spirit weapon invulnerability, portals, line of warding,esp. female sylvari quirky and really cool pain sound… that all sounds like the complete opposite of what you claim)……even a dark splashback on character select to avoid the blindness it causes because of being so bright, or the intense eye-searing white flash on Vistas-still there months after reporting it. close your eyes you will see how evil it is…
