Guild Wars 2

Jeeze… how fast is your computer to where you can restart the client/load up into WvW faster than just respawn. I’m jelly… I’m sitting here using a HP I got on thanksgiving sale that I just slapped a video card and some extra ram into…

kitten almost halves loading times, at least for me. Im running a 5 year old machine (dual core) with kitten, i usually load faster than most peeps in my guild with a high end computer. From desktop to lions arch to WvW in 35 secs.

Edit: The overly agressive profanity filter got me. Left kitten for the lols. Kitten = A solid state drive

Only an engineer would use elixirs with random effects.

Only an engineer would throw a crate on his friend’s heads to help them.

Chaba.5410:

[…] And if you’re trying to do something reliably that only a randomized elixir provides, consider that perhaps our class wasn’t meant to do that effect reliably. […]

So why did they even bother to implement something that doesnt work reliable? Only a suicide would use a build that depends on a random effect. All others won’t even bother to bring this if they had a choice, cause it is a wasted slot. Let us be honest, if you could swap out the random effect for something reliable, you would definetly do it. Who wants to gamble when your life/ your party’s life is on the line?

In pve it is annoying in pvp it is suicide.

Didn’t read the whole thread maybe someone already suggested it.
I would like to see a compromise like:
Weapon swapping only if no skill is on CD
Utility swapping only in the respawn area limited to twice a match or once for each utility slot
Armor/Amulett swapping none at all or once a match in the respawn area
Traits swapping none at all times.

That way you are not totally screwed, if the enemy runs a “counter build” and have another strategic option. The enemy can adept themselfs to the adapted build and so on…

@chapichapo
They changed the weapon swap due to the function of skills/weapons. In gw1 you took skills according to your weapon. If you are hammer specced you could swap to a sword, but couldn’t use half of your skills then as they are limited to a hammer. In gw2 the skills are tied to the weapon, so you have more skills to your disposal. Now imagine you could cycle through all/most of your weapons, gaining new skills with every weapon. That would result in a combinatorial explosion regarding balance.

It’s not worth to save glory, at least not that much. Four days ago i spent all my glory for chests, today i already have 20k. So it’s up to you ofc, but you earn glory in an instant. Now that you get a glory booster everyday, you can collect glory ridiculously fast.

Just had it on Khylo at the enemy catapult, got stomped by a mesmer (no stealth, but stability). Had it several times yesterday, at least for me it doesn’t seem to correlate with any specific class or ability.
