Guild Wars 2

A) Give sword wave better tracking, and make it an actual melee attack and not a projectile. (You can reflect it with feedback if you’re standing inside it.
B) Make Smite a symbol.
C) Rename Kindled zeal to Kindled Symbols. All symbols are now fire fields and inflict 1s of burning upon entering/leaving them.

Deifact.3095:

What would be a possible solution to this? Make all characters human in WvW ? Increase asura size in WvW? (Scary!) I’m genuinely interested as to how this could be fixed reasonably.

Give them a flat size, just like they did in SAB

So, when are we getting landspears/lances? I kind of want to make a jousting knight now.

Please, he ain’t got nothin’ on Aphrodisias.

It’s like you two are the next Kasmeer and Jory.

Does that mean we get to do this after we kill scarlet together~~~~

CruleD.7380:

So when someone leaves the party others get kicked out of the dungeon; is that a feature or a bug, surely either way It is not logical to be so.
Personally, lost all loot I was supposed to get and all the time (a bit over an hour) which it took me to get there =/

Once the host (which he most likely was) leaves the party then the whole instance will die. There is currently no way to transfer instance ownership.

Nope.

Most fashionable human male reporting in.

Not in a dungeon but finally, i’m fashionable. (And unbanned from the forums)

From what i can tell the guy is an underling from Kaeyi. Taka spawns after he dies.

Also, if you look closely you’ll see that he’s dual wielding rifles. not pistols

Brutelas.2903:

I tried searching for guild cloak threads didn’t see any so I apologize if this has been brought up before.

So i’d like to ask why does this game not have guild cloak? I do like quite a few of the backpiece items in the game but I have always wondered why this game has never implemented real guild cloaks. It was a very common thing in GW1 but in this game if you want your guild emblem on a backpiece it’s a backpack.

Why not just roll out the cloaks? Something about cloaks has always appealed more to me and without them you hardly notice guild emblems at all.

Clipping with races such as charr and the fact that cloth physics take a lot of processing power.

This mini dungeon boss has more mechanics than an actual dungeon boss. For shame

I have quite a bit more of these screenshots. GW2’s open world is certainly one of it’s strengths.

Nothing, you just gain additional influence from doing dungeons.

If you’d take the survey thing literarily it’d probably mean scouting out the dungeon.

Soulmyr.8094:

The only thing that bothers me is that these new quaggan tonics make you look bigger than the original tonics (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Quaggan_Tonic).

‘’Transforms the player into a baby quaggan when used.’’

PvE and PvP versions of my engineer.

something like this?

Speaking of which, it’s quite easy to get a skimpy look going.

Bloodlust.3672:

Please show more leg skin for female armor designs of all classes [light / medium / heavy]. Too many of the current armor designs don’t show any leg skin. And of the few that do, the view of the legs are covered from behind with leg dresses/capes so there’s no full 360 view around the character.

I understand that GW2 tries to be more kid and family friendly by being more prude in the armor designs compared to other fantasy MMO games. But adding some fashionably bare legs and leg skin across all classes would be reasonable.

As you can see, our current armor choices for this are very limited…
http://argos-soft.net/GW2/ArmorGallery/index.php?lang=en&color=10&race=2&w=1&sex=1

Female Asura and Female Charr use the same armor meshes/models as their male counterparts. You can get quite some leg exposure if you play one of the other races, especially female norns.

More pictures from my other characters.

Fashionable and spooky.

Head – Skull Masque
Shoulders – Norn T1
Coat – Heritage
Gloves – Named set
Legs – CoE
Boots – CoE

Jalapeno, Ebony and Antique gold were used as dyes (All standard ones too!)

Middle one, hands down.

Can’t wait for the blue spinal blades to be available.

Is it me or you have a knack for taking screenies? Even the effect looks gorgeous, too…

On my side, I’ve got a fractal sword skin today. Taking the screenie during my tactical break and… gasp!!! how it looks so gorgeous on my ele! I so wish I could wield it.

#DeadDpsIsFashionableDPS

I use a custom SweetFX filter to enhance my graphics.

Here’s my latest 80! A norn necromancer.

I absolutely love this idea. I am considering getting the zodiac helm, but the pricetag of 800 gems puts me off. Especially since i don’t like the other parts.

I was going for the look shown in this picture.

AP means nothing past 1500-2k. Most people understand the basics of their class by then

Lindbur.2537:

Send help. Which helmet looks the best?

Braham’s mace probably.

They have to be because press 1 is all some people manage. Wouldn’t you hate dodging and doing everything right but still failing the event over and over because half the players you are doing it with can’t dodge?

Make events scale on the amount of alive players then. If they happen to die, the boss scales down. That way the baddies get filtered out.

Then:

1. What’s going to happen when I go res and come back to the fight then? Does it re-add HP onto it, and thus if people keep dying and resing, the boss can really never die? Or is it going to be a case of if everyone apart from 1 player dies, the boss will get nuked in half a second when the other 50 players res and rejoin the fight?

2. Even if it does somehow work out, why should I get back up if I’m bad at the fight? Currently, even if I suck at this game, I’m contributing but in your case, wouldn’t it be better for everyone else if I stay dead? Or rather, there’s going to be ‘if you lag or can’t fight properly, stay dead please’ shouted all over the map.

Well, it could work like the marionette. If you go down you will be excluded from the area. Give it portal acces just like the marionette has and make it close after X amount of health is drained from the boss. This would encourage players to stay alive and contribute the fight.

This is just a simple thought though, i’d have to flesh out this idea more.

But then I can’t join the fight in any way once it started, and that’s going to be a very small time margin where I can join without letting it basically be an open portal for most of the fight. It works for the Marionette (sort of) because its only a part of the mechanics of the fight, but we’re looking at entire encounters here.

Well, that is kind of the point. It would force people to be there for the whole fight and to survive it. The area could also open X amount of minutes before the boss starts, so that people have time to gather up and prepare.

Junkpile.7439:

That boss always down players like crazy. I always use engi if i plan to kill it so i can just stand in 1500 range and spam nades.

Really, i find it far too easy. The ‘’Ground Slam’’ should also send out a trail of lightning after it. Give it 2000 range or something to punish players that failed to dodge it or just stand on the same spot for the whole fight.

Overworld Bosses need a lot more attacks, right now they’re just press 1 and AFK fests.

And here we are. 1 minute and 30 seconds on my elementalist.

And we should care why?

To be honest, you did put FW infront of UP. Maybe he just needed FW.

Naevius.3185:

Meh, everything is easy on a guardian.

It’s easier on an elementalist. I’ll try if i can find an empty map to solo it on.

Sorin.4310:

This is one of the world bosses I’d rather do with a few people than 30-40. It’s scaling feels exponential, where I think most bosses should be superlinear.

Yes, from my calculations each player adds about 380k HP to the boss. My numbers could be a bit off though. I wish this guy was slightly more punishing, why don’t they let the fist slams produce shock fields too? That way people are encouraged to dodge them instead of just standing there and eating the knockback

Not really, actually. When is this guy getting a buff?

You can unlock all of them. You will still be gaining skillpoints after you reach level 80. You can only slot one spell in each skill slot though, but you’re able to swap them out when you’re not in combat.

phaeris.7604:

A medium skilled ele will still be worse than the worst thief or hammer warrior.

That’s the problem. Healing signet, knockdowns and spammable high damage skills with built in gap closers will just overwhelm most average players.

As mentioned, even if you’re a good player, only takes one of these guys to come in on a fight and it’s over for you, 3 knockdowns in a row, or spamming 3 heartseekers, 10k damage done with no way to avoid it. Was great of anet to design a class with a high skillcap and mediocre reward, and some classes with low skillcaps with huge rewards.

You can avoid bursts if you have to with CC/Stunbreaks. A perfect example would be http://youtu.be/3oExK622Hxc?t=3m45s If the ele used Armor of Earth or Mist Form here he’d be fine and i’d be out of burst for another 30 seconds.

While i do agree that ele is underpowered in small scale fights, they aren’t terrible. That, and thieves are supposed to excel in small scale combat whereas elementalists are better in large groups.

Ganathar.4956:

Eles are generally weak atm and if there is an aspect that they are decent at they seriously lack build diversity.

PvE: Eles are only decent in dungeons because of lightning hammer and FGS abuse. I wonder what will happen when Anet finally decide to fix FGS, I assure you that the reaction in this forum won’t be pretty.

So eles are in a bad spot right now because they are only good in WvW zergs assuming they don’t abuse mechanics. If you do abuse mechanics then you are also “decent” in dungeons but a warrior is usually better. Then there is also the lack of build diversity.

Eles are frequently taken over warriors due to their insane damage from both staff and LH. Even without FGS they are still capable of putting out more damage than a warrior could the attached video proves this statement. In the ’’Meta’’ Speedruns you usually see 2x Ele, 1x Warrior and 2 Wildcards. (Guard/Thief for example)

The only place where eles are lacking are small scale fights, which is where they need some adjustments to get in line with other professions. ANet already said ele is getting a few buffs next patch, so we’ll have to wait that one out first before discussing our position.

I would love to use this Spear on land. Though i’d have no idea how they would use it’s particles and unique animations.

Base speed is equal on all classes. But all professions are able to enhance their movespeed with either signets, boons such as swiftness, teleports/leaps and rush skills.

Warrior has the fastest landspeed out of all classes (Not counting ele with fiery GS)

Get good. That’s all i have to say to you.

If you get life blasted SIX times then it’s your own fault. You could have easily blinded or CC trained the necro. You got outplayed.

Tripling condition damage to put it on par with zerkers would lower the skill-ceiling. Right now, conditions are only affected by one stat, whereas direct damage is affected by 3 stats. If condition damage had a multiplier much like crit damage and an occurance much like crit chance (Hell, you could even use precision and crit damage to make conditions crit, gives anet a chance to implement a new gear set too) Then i’d be all open for it. But in it’s current state conditions are not worth it.

DarksunG.9537:

Sorry, totally disagree. At least on the Norn. They added detail, gave the items proper mass, fixed clipping… Pretty much everything is better except the seam in the normals on the back of the shoulders.

Although I will agree, the massive SIZE of the shoulders on a human is idiotic now. And the narrowing of the ankles of the boots looks awful. Anet doesn’t get that the huge WoW shoulders & tiny feet don’t work in this game & they need to fix all the MASSIVE shoulders so be smaller & the tiny ballerina feet to be big.

I’m actually thinking that humans got the norn mesh for the kodan armor. Look at the glove size in the screenshot i posted a few posts above. They look extremely bulky and waay oversized for a human.

Staff ele’s optimal DPS rotation is Earth 2 > Fire 2 > Fire 3 (If targets are not burning) > Fire 5 > 2 > 1,1,1,1 > 2 > Repeat from fire 3.

Arcane Wave and brilliance are used in the first lava font to generate might and fury.

hendo.1940:

Warriors will enter basically every dungeon fight with zero stunbreakers, zero condition removal, zero sources of vigour and zero sources of regeneration or protection, because anythinga warrior has that can provide that is just subpar, and therefore not worth taking.

For instance the AC P1 endboss, with all the mobs and condis (confusion, bleed, cripple etc.) a warrior with meta skills (FGJ, banner, fury) would [b]die in an instant if he got knocked down.[b]

That guy dies even before those mobs reach you with a good group. Also, hallowed ground can save everyone and is a fire field. Perfect for stacking might in cojunction with a LH ele

I usually take stunbreak, condi-removal and vigor for fights like these. Also for Malrona in TA, I swap out my mace to a shield, and carry Endure Pain (invuln) so that I am not downed by her AoE when she uses it.

Reflects and eat the poison. Boss is now dead.

I doubt this is going to happen, even though i’d really like a race change myself. I think ANet even said multiple times that this won’t happen

They also increased the glove size. Looks like the whole mesh is messed up.

My apologies for the low graphics. I’m not at home currently and this laptop is quite old.

Dear arenanet,

Please get rid of all champion trains.

Sincerly,
The dungeon community.

Highest Mobility – FGS ele outruns a warrior. Outside of that they have the highest landspeed, yes.

Are thieves allowed to come to this particular chest-beating match? Because they’d like a word…

xsquared.1926:

Highest Healing without healing – Correct.

I believe Rangers can substantially top this value if we’re just counting passive effects… but what they have to give up to do it cripples their other options and effectiveness.

Well, if we count in spirit of Nature (The elite thing) Then rangers will definetly pull ahead of any other class. This skill is AoE though, and if it applies to a warrior then the warrior will still pull ahead of rangers.

As for thieves outmanouvering a FGS ele, i’m not too sure about that one. The whirl and rush are on a very low cooldown and cover more distance than the warrior counterparts.
