Guild Wars 2

On FA still?

Uh is this post for real? Warrior sustain got nerfed to kitten, might makes right compensates for it a little but last season war was absolute garbage, and it is just mediocre right now.

Our list was formed through a voting system. So it wasn’t a single player’s personal opinion. It was around 35+ guild members voting. There are obviously 1/2 troll votes in there that made the rankings. But we will let the reader figure that out.

I believe there will be some votes for [FoW] in the future. That is a very very effective defensive and ninja guild.

Uhhhh sounds to me like FoW just ppt’s so they shouldnt be considered. Also havent seen them form up to fight at all really from personal experience.

This makes no sense at all. If I spent all my gold making a legendary and the a HOT legendary came out should I get my gold back?…no.

Now that protection gives you additional regen and shout builds got a few nerfs, we will see a
whole new level of C A N C E R in WvW.

You mean something other than Trailblazer condi?

Condi is probably still crap. Maybe with Soulbeast it could work.
What I’m referring to is a tanky boon-regen-kiting build that could work very well for roaming. A very boring playstyle that Anet seems to like…

I’m not saying that the other buffs/nerfs were bad. I can think of a quite few new builds that could work aswell. But having access to perma protection gives you an additional 330 HP regen per second (WITHOUT HEALING POWER) seems pretty powerful. Needs some testing ouf course.

Condi ranger is garbage in wvw, has very little survivability/mobility if you want good dps. But yeah the tanky boon duration build is pretty boring imo. I would much rather run full zerk and die a lot more, but also nuke the kitten out of stuff.

Thanks mitism for your post, looks like a fun build to play, may even try it for roaming which is what i mostly do.

Just got back from vacation and saw the balance patch. Seems like there should be some kitten signet/fury power builds, post it here if you made one so I can figure it out easily instead of spending an hour or two coming up with it!!

Xushin playing actively on maguuma again means you could possibly get him to pay for your xfer lol

Are you really crying about $30?? How is anet supposed to make money if they give out free expacs… go get a job or even ask mom and dad for your next allowance, it is 30 bucks.

Great job on the sword, sexiest weapon in gw2 no doubt… going to make me pve for once that kitten is dopeeeee.

Well you sure as hell reinstalled it fast enough lmao… You didnt decay off leaderboard for a single day.

I mean I would hope after 4 years of playing war I could play it smart haha. However against other players who are actually good and know rotations, war is just too easy to counter. You never see it used in high ranked matches anymore or tournys, for a reason, it cant compete. Head butt and shield bash could be evaded by my blind grandma with their cast times. And just about anyone with a brain can kite a war for 4 seconds well both eps burn out. Power war is really just useless as it melts in team fights, and is easy to beat in 1v1s, condi war is some what better but still cant really compete. Anyway this is what I have noticed at least from my gameplay this season. Classes get nerfed/buffed every season, war was op last season, sucks this one, will probly be good again soon.

Hammer is a really fun weapon to use, but doing so pretty much condemns the player to sucking. It does not supply enough dps/mobility and has no sustain. I was thinking that on the hammer 4 skill, when it uses the whirl animation, making that a block. It would only be a half second block, which is still pretty useless, but it would give the hammer a little more sustain. Another idea I had would be on skill 3, to have it create a bubble that either reflects, or absorbs projectiles. This would give the hammer a value in team play as it would mitigate ranged damage. These are just a couple ideas I had. I main warr and would love to be able to use the hammer again in competitive gameplay such as wvw/pvp and not suck haha.

On a side note as an avid pvper… war is obviously garbage, the cd’s on ep either need to be reduced, or the duration of ep needs to be restored to what it previously was. I had to completely switch off war this season as the sustain is just not there.

Anyway hope the anet team reads this and finds a way to make the hammer great again.

these rewards were not aimed to be given to players starting at wvw rank 0. Its for the players who have played wvw for years with no rewards at all. an actual expansion would not be done like this.

bump, this is a good idea

well you are waiting you can always go onto a different map. T1 had 4 maps queued but the longest i waited tonight without actually being in wvw was not voer 5 min. go in the emptiest map then que for whatever you want.

I was mostly playing wow after gw2’s last balance patch… but this new competitive patch has brought me back. I have solely played wvw/pvp in gw2 for 3 years and wvw is finally back to being alive. Good rewards are finally actually a thing, and there is now an incentive to keep playing the game in order to get the back piece. Queues are long, but it is the first day…half the pve scrubs will probly be gone in a week. All in all in my opinion it is a great patch. So for the first time ever…Thanks anet.

If what they say is true then this will be a good patch for competitive gameplay.

For realllll. I main warrior and agree it needed nerfs…but cd’s, really? They should have nerfed damage or range. Arc divider still has the same range which is ridiculous. A good player can easily dodge a shield bash/headbutt so those two skills are useless unless the enemy is already stunned/immobed. Warrior will not be good at all this season except in lower tiers where the skill animations wont be recognized.

My god I hope anet doesnt read this. Glass is good. Condi sucks. Thats all.

Mag just went from winning t1 to being in t3… its dead.

Competition has gone to crap. Cant get a good match with people who actually know how to play pvp. Most skilled players are gone.

lol this is why all the elite players leave, bunch of noobs on here talking about what should be done and anet listens to them. 3/4ths the people in this thread probably have not made it past gold three. Enjoy the crappy competition tho, I get 1 competitive match out of 5 now. But hey, its balanced, so I guess the noobs are satisfied.

Just wanted to comment and say that of course anet deleted the thread that rarnark and Naru called them out on… cant be seen having the best pvp players say how bad your balance patch is.

Aeolus.3615:

players that relly in gimmick to win instead on personal skills will cry, blance path super effective.

Gimmicks are still there player have to aply more, this is what made gw1 actually a very good pvp, every one could play meta, but metas could require some player skill more than the build.

if they continue with this mentality i think i have to change my signature, cause 5years later they are starting to do it right.

You realize 95% of the elite pvp players in gw2 already quit right? And the few that are left already started a thread talking about how bad this patch is. The people “crying” about “gimmicks” as you say, are the people who are actually playing pvp consistantly and realize how kittenty this was and how boring it makes the gameplay. I personally main war/druid. War got cast time added too it’s skills instead of a damage reduction or range reduction, this makes it so boring for me to play now as anyone who has skill can easily dodge a headbutt/shield bash. Im fine with nerfs, they have done that every balance patch for 6 seasons…this one was just done awfully.

It was already dead but this patch is straight up garbage. For real thinking about quitting gw2 after 3 years…yall suck.

I took a break for a month or two and am just now getting back into the game. What is the best way to convert karma into gold at the moment???
Thanks for help.

Just because your t1 server is falling dosnt mean anet failed. Many servers have risen/fell throughout the 3 years and now it is you guys, maybe it is bg someday, dont blame anet for locking the servers right after all the jq guilds left lol. Your community is what failed, you didnt keep your guilds now you have no coverage.

I’d just like to point out that just because it feels like it’s alive and filled with new players doesn’t mean it is. We’ve simply been stuffed into half the available space, thus doubling population density.[/quote]

IOJ is the same size as JQ? Dont think anything on JQ was doubled except maybe the number of NA tags lol.

There are tons of opportunitys for 1-5 man groups in T1. Vastly more now than there were a few weeks ago.

Sorry but if you can’t handle high pop roaming, and I say this as someone closing in on 2k wvw rank from roaming/havoc in sub 10 man groups ….

Get Good….it ain’t that hard….

lol what…

So you’re saying my PC needs to get good? Also that rank is extremely low for a roamer, mine is double that from solo roaming.

lol, calling straight bs on you getting3.5k+ wvw rank solo roaming, i have roamed/zerg busted and pugged a bit too for 2 years and am at about 2k. You either lieing or you a zergling.

All these people are crying about queues, and not being able to enjoy their low tier game play. However for the majority of us, this patch is a very good thing as wvw is fianlly back in form, all you people on here crying are the minority. Not to mention it is the weekend, and 2 days after patch, so of course there is a larger population in wvw. Also, the bls are still relatively zerg/queue free, so go enjoy your small tier game play there. Thank you to Anet for finally putting in a wvw patch after hot killed it, looking forward to Alpines release!

Are you asking people to not give feedback? About a beta? Of course we’re going to give feedback. Otherwise they’ll think we all LIKE not being able to play when we want, where we want, and how we want.

Queues are a complete dealbreaker for those of us with only a limited timeslot for games; we’re not going to spend what precious little free time we have sitting in line. Until this change, we didn’t have to. Anet needs to hear that, loudly and frequently.

No i think your feedback is good, just posted way too early. I just got tired of reading thread after thread of ppl qqing about queus, when it was 2 days after the wvw patch AND friday/saturday. the queus are already gone.

Keviin Snow.5760:

can anyone answer me if from now on , we have to wait 1 or 2 hours just to get in wvw
will Anyone be a happy camper ?
I really wanna see how many ppl said yes to this question

Well I am on JQ, so yes there were very large queues, but guess what, they were already down tonight and I’m sure they will be even shorter sunday/weekdays. Also the bls are almost all unqueued. And most people do not come on the forums to give compliments, they come on to qq, I have talked to many more ppl in game that enjoy the patch then don’t, but I am also on a t1 server so maybe that’s why.

I think this patch was great and am glad Anet did it. I can see how losing ones server identity could be hard, but let’s be real server identity died years ago, now you just need to enjoy playing with your friends and either getting fights, or ppting, both of which are made more available with this patch. You guys still have your community, if it is really as important as your making it to be then it should not be hard to keep it and you won’t lose players. If you do lose players it just shows that they are more attracted to the higher tier game play styles. You guys are still with all of your friends and guilds, just losing your server name. I do think they should lock the world linking and not switch it around every 3 months, this way the lower servers would not have to lose any friendships/communities that were made with the previous host server.

TPMN.1483:

Am I on a different server or something ?
JQ is Tier 1- we hardly managed to pop ques most of the day – if we did it was a few on EB BL.
Checked for a long period of time (4 am EST- 7pm EST)… It doesn’t seem that busy at all out there

I am on JQ as well, we are t1 but most likely dropping soon, alot of the guilds xferd off before the world linking and now we are locked on full, we will probably be a good fit for t2 as tc goes t1

You enjoy small tier game play, that’s good, the bls still allow for that. It is 2 days after reset on the weekend and a wvw patch, your queues will go down. Wvw is finally alive again and there are fights, or ppt if that’s what you prefer, you can roam/havoc in the bls, zerg in eb, idk what you people are all crying so much for. Server loyalty died years ago.

If your 0-9 that means you probably suck too. Your getting paired with other bad people. Points dont mean crap, i can bunker one cap all game, end with 20 points, but me more usefull then someone with 100 points from killing people.

I went from about 5 hours a day before HOT too 3 hours when HOT came out, then I dropped to just logging in for dailys, now I maybe log in once every 4 days, none of my friends are ever on, my guild is dead, have come to the conclusion that the game is dying. Anet really dropped the ball on HOT

Before HoT i used to play gw2 for about 4/5 hours a day doing wvw, some pvp, and making legendaries/ascendeds. Now with HoT out i am just logging in for dailys, i am wondering what other people do for fun end game content. WvW was my favorite game mode and that is completely dead except for NA prime time which is blobvblob. PvP is what i have been doing alot of lately but it just gets boring after awhile. PVE was nice for about 2 weeks but the rewards are next to none? same with fractals, i dont feel any motivation to farm or grind like i did before hot. Just wondering what other people do for fun endgame content as i would enjoy playing gw2 instead of watching netflix.

? The new pvp patch is awesome imo. I honestly quit gw2 2 weeks ago and am playing now again because of pvp only lol

You answered the question yourself, since the prices for crafting materials went up its even more profitable to sell them.

You could do two things, first you could farm stuff like metals or wood, there are good maps out there in the www where you can find the best places doing that. Second, if you don’t have a problem with ZergWars, go to the Silver Wastes for chestfarming or places like Cursed Shore for champfarming. Salvage everything you get and sell it.

This isnt totally true, wvw no longer has nodes, it has synthesizers, which give 3 random ore per synthesizer, so you won’t make much at all there. I have run iron/plat runs before and I ended up getting about 4G for an hour of farming nodes (on a Nike war) so not that great. You could always try to play the tp to tho, that’s your best bet imo.

You can’t transfer to a full server whether you pay or delete all your characters, unless it drops back down your son won’t get onto DH

I am thinking about joining the bandwagon to hod for the oppurtunity to woop some mag. I was wondering if there are currently any havoc groups who are running on hod, preferably 10-15 I don’t want to zerg around. When I’m not doing havoc I roam. Thanks for any info.

Hey I’m interested In joining, Rogue told me to post here so you guys could find me.

Yeah I know I just thought I might as post on here and see if I get a response from Gaile, worth a shot

So I am planning on making a legendary but I want to wait for the new ones to see if I want to make one of those. (I WvW, making a legendary is probably a one time thing) I would just like to know if the new legendaries are going to follow the same crafting form they have now so I can prepare for it. Still requires a gift of fortune, and mastry? If so I plan on making those gifts before the release. I am pretty impatient so don’t want to just stockpile the mats I’d like to make a gift or two for it. A reply from a dev confirming this would be great, any help is nice to though. Thanks.

Seems like the solo roaming there would be awful? Unless your a thief of course

These guys are one of the best zerg busting guilds I’ve seen out of the 5 servers I’ve been on, deffinitly join them if you want to kick some kitten

Yoooooooo don’t forget about KCSR, we roam and kill people :P we have some more room left in the guild for any roamers who would be interested in joining.

Not sure if you found one already. I just transferred off of DH myself actually and went to Eredon Terrace, idk if your looking to go up in the tiers or what but I’d suggest coming to ET, great zerg busting guild you could join in MR and when your interested in roaming we also have a number of solid guilds. Personally for me the roaming on ET is so much better than it was on DH where there is literally no roaming guilds except for DAWN which I only ever saw running with a commander in eb anyway. But yea I’d suggest ET, if you want more info just friend me and wsp me when ya see me on
