OP you should know a thread like this will amount to nothing.
example.
You will make a post expressing how you think some of your class’ skills should be fix a certain way. (that is consider QQing)
Must fellow class players will agree with you, while other (the minority) will take the oportunity to sound cool and tell you to l2p or quit.
Devs will NOT see this post and understand, perhaps, you are right. Their concern is to eliminate Viral QQers from the forums. So they only fix a specific QQ about a class if the person QQing does not play that class and also if say.. 1000 ppl agree with them.
see: The 500+posts on the thread about gs skill movement. they just camped the thread till it died. not one response. they just said.. hey.. They will adapt. is ok. moving on..
also see"
retal
pistol whip
stability
and any other mayor QQ that goes viral.
so no players complain about our scepter so im sorry but no change will be done.
Maybe if we get to 1k replys we will get Anet’s attention. don think it will happen dough.
It is just INCREDIBLE how NO MATTER what Anet nerfs from anyclass for that matter. they will always be idiots who will defend the nerf and say “Oh that nerf was long coming” yeah except the fact there there was only ONE dumb thread idiot qqer from around 500 guardian qq threads regarding SY.
The truth is that NO ONE here, I repeat.. NO ONE! NOT YOU who are reading this thinking of your self like a pro pvper. NO ONE knows why A Net nerfs the things they do.
They have a wall with a massive Theory crafting going on where they compare SY skill against all other classes on hundreds of tpvp senarios and then figure out the change was needed like kids playing around with matches who dont know what they are doing.
Put that on your pipe and smoke it. smoke all of it!
So one single person makes a thread about a Guardian bug and Jon Peters comes out quick for a fix and also posts twice none the less.. .but another thread with nearly 500 replies concerning the gs change doesn’t even get 1?? Very interesting Mr Peters. We are not trying to write a novel you know.

times like this is when I wish gw2 was infact 15/mo. sub. then i would stop paying and voice my opinion that way. But since it is f2p we rather like it or gtfo.
the way Anet is handling the guardian class with this massives nerfs left and right is borderline ridiculous. I wish other known mmo news sites such as massively, gamebreaker or zam would make an article and perhaps interview directly devs as to know wtf is up with them throwing all their initial work out the window because of some forum rants.
sadly they are more worried about having Anets supports since it gives them publicity when they link to their website articles on fb.
“GustavoM
As someone who mains a Guardian for more than 200 PvP matches.
Nerf It by 50% of the current time for all buffs or as the skill description says, when an ally has a condition, and not everytime by himself, etc.
Mix It with the support tome, and It’s literally /godmode for palad—- Guardians.
(ps: I don’t use this shout and never plan to do so.)"
Thanks for your brilliant suggestion.. asshloe.
anyone else feels the need to complain about guardians anymore while devs take notes??
Is funny how it doesnt matter what Anet does AT ALL. there will always be fanboy saying.
A)The nerf was needed.
B)Stop qqing and adjust. I know I did.
I hate the fact that Anet want’s me to play a certain way. If i want to play just with the GS only and keep my 2nd weapon for support then that should be my choice. I payed $60 so I can play how I want to. If you want to play with some ones head re arranging things go to your grandma’s house and re arrange her closet. Stay away from my game.
I think they are trying to figure out how to fix their massive ef-up before giving us an answer. seriously some guardians crafted legendaries only for pve and then this happens lol.
“Balance. Really, balance is pretty good. We’re very observant of the meta, we read the forums, and we’re playing the game with you. We don’t want to make knee-jerk balance decisions. And if did whatever the community wanted, what would happen to balance? How many threads are basically: “NERF X OMG!!” “Learn to play , X is fine” “Omg no, we can’t beat X at all!” “Just saying, none of the people I know even run X anymore” “Hey you guys forget X, let’s buff Y!”….then this just repeats over and over. We can’t just do exactly what players ask for in relation to balance, because different players at various skill levels view balance differently. So what we do is balance community feedback with gameplay results. We don’t want to play whack-a-mole with balance, so we don’t just nerf/buff everything as soon as someone posts about it. It would ruin the game if we did. We try to be patient, see if the meta fixes itself (because a lot of times, once you learn how to deal with something, you realize it may not be as imba as you first thought), and then make long-lasting balance changes. We don’t want to nerf X, then realize no one uses it, and buff it again, then have to nerf it again, etc. etc.”
ok that is just NOT the way to adress game changes. YOU guys are the experts. not a bunch of complainers getting faced roll because they dont know how to pvp a specific class.
All I see from your ways of doing things is that if enough ppl(Right or wrong) complain about a skill for long enough then you will nerf it. What the hell is that?? You have to hold your ground and give your selfs more credit. YOU have all the tools and graphics to know what is balanced and what isnt. not this players who frankly 90% of them just roll one class and that’s it.
Also please create a test server and test your changes b4 just throwing them on live ones because THEN is an ever bigger problem of making a mistake but you dont want to look like an idiot for releasing something that wasnt ready so now you are just gonna leave it alone and learn from your mistake quietly.
Never have I ever seen a community control game patches like this one. Also DO NOT MOVE MY POST TO THE SUGGESTION’S THREAD. I swear to God, happens every single time.
“Oh ya, wanted to add: yes, we’re watching Mesmers, bunker Guardians and tank heal Ele’s. Forgot to add that.”
^Well thats just fantastic. /endsarcasm
haven’t you guys done enough. Nerf Guardian’s stability, Retal. (two biggest Guardian buffs) You do know that every single patch has been a Guardian nerf right? I mean someone has gotten to have noticed on that office.
Go pay attention to the warriors they are the FOREVERALONE ignored class of GWs and Leave Guardians alone!! unless you gonna throw some buffs at them in which case is ok and you Sr may go right ahead.
ty so much for this info!! I HATE the fact that the toes clip from my shoes on all other skins. now I can buy this and finally be some what normal lookin’ T_T Plus primeval looks pitch black with abyss dye.
reloging to reset DR was an exploit not a thing against bots wtf. Bots cant farm DE events. Reloging to reset happened after the token nerf patch. It was a bug and now on this last patch is working as intended. What is NOT however intended is to hit DR on your first DE clear. say get gold and only 54karma. that is what Jon P. is referring too as Farming DE is considered an exploid.

I would like to scale bigger (atleast 25%) when the weapon is out and 10% bigger when is not.
I would like for the two side toes of my feet not to clip outside the boots. I mean seriously?
Personally I love Tome of courage. Nothing better than having 21khp and pvp and just when someone thinks they are about to kill you, you use sanctualy(9sec cd with trait) and 5 on book and boom full health lolol. Bubble to heal paladin style!
@valdamus: Are you really suggesting Arenanet decides their balance changes based on forum complaints?
Yep. look at the facts. look at what they patch vs what ppl complain about. it is 10/10 always dead on with QQing. Thiefs spam 2? Nerfd. Mesmers clones?? nerfd. Guardians Retal?? nerfd. Guardian stability?? Nerfed. Elementalists massive condition stacking + unlimited aoe range?? Nerfed. Engineers massive cripple stacking?? Nerfed. and many others. I’ve played many other mmos where patchs as game and strategy changing as this take MONTHS to develop and another month to test. Anet releases this patches weekly w/o proper testing.
It took them 3 years of developing a class and change how skills work and then only a little less than 2 weeks to start changing skills left and right? That just sounds like they saying that they didnt know wtf they where doing whether true or not. They should ONLY fix skill bugs and game bugs and take their time with skill changing patches to 1 every 3~5 months like every other mmo. there is a reason for that.

I wanted to get my accesories with powr,precision,vit but they dont exist either. T_T
While I love the Idea of having perma protection which = 900 toughness (epic) I decided to go with Rune of strength 6/6 for the fallowing reason.
As of right now I dont do spvp. only wvw but i dont play support either. I just like to go and find 1v1/2s and pvp. I play with gs/sept/torch 10/0/10/20/30. (3 shouts).
my entire gear and weaps and accs is pwr,touch,vit and sinse Ret scales with pwr i just couldnt give up 165 pwr from 6/6 RoStrength. (total pwr is 3.2k) I do keep might up 100% very easy because my gs has sigil that grants 20sec might on 9 sec cd and my torch also has same sigil. no matter who I pvp i always change weapons right after the 9sec wep swap cd and that + 30%(from 30pts on virtues)+20%(from rune buff) is more than enough to have it up 24/7 thus giving me perma 5%more dmg(rune buff) and that plus 10% more dmg to burning (from 10pts on zeal) I can deal pretty good dmg.
still no crits dough. need to find a way around that.
players complained about Retal because they hit them self for almost 300 every time and thiefs and glads would kill them selfs and shocker didnt like it so they naturaly QQ’d. problem is Anet ate it up. IMO Retal NOW that has such a shorted duration should reflect 100%dmg. now will they listen to that? not a chance. if one class complains about their own class then its ok. if must other classes complain about your class then thats what they consider a problem.
look at warriors. they dont stop complaining about their classes but no other class complains about wars enough for the defs to worry so they have pretty much been ignored at every single patch.
I think they were gonna take it down to 5 seconds but since all other ret traits give you 3 someone on HQ had a massive case of ocd and said.. nah.. take it down to 3. and sketched up a quick theory craft on why it was ok and no one argued. I dont think even the players QQing thought WS would get that big of a nerf. they would have been ok with 7 secs and extremely happy with 5. 3secs is just dumb and we should at least hear their reasoning behind it.
This entire thread is just /facepalm
c/mon guys you really thought loggin in/out was intended?? 0.0 I think one person here even complained about having to relog to reset DR LOLOLOL.
they created DR on karma and then on their dungeon token nerf update something went wrong and affected the DR on karma. Everyone knew it would get fix thats why the zerg at orr was gigantic. also you can get powr/tough/vit gear through dungeons very fast and easy.
In my view Legendaries should be account bound not sellable + SB
in Crafting
Posted by: valdamus.6289
this is nothing more than OP casting kitten enlargment and see if it sticks. legendary weapons should be tradable and sellable on the AH so i can get my daddys CC and abuse that gem store then buy one legendary and transmuted to a lvl 1 so i can show it across all different maps while i level.
Retal needed a nerf? yes. Nerfd from 10 seconds to 3?? FCUK NO!
Every QQer of retal is happy as fcuk and walking aroung with a big kitten kitten feeling like they own the world because some Anet mngr believed your Masive amount of QQing and then changed a vital key for defensive guardians.
from 10 to 5 seconds would have been harsh but ok. from 10 to 7 seconds would have been more along the lines of “toning down” a skill and see where it goes. 10 to 3 seconds is nothing more than a brain fart and a clear win for the QQers and thus actually conveing the message that hey.. if you dont like a skill then Bicth about it as much as you can and if the QQing goes viral then we will do as you say. So what is next?? QQ about spirit weapons being invincible? perhaps to short cd on kd?
You as a comunity that did not like a certain skill. (in this case Retal) are on your right to QQ as much as you want. The problem is when Devs throw out the window their initial intentions and hours upon hours of research like tome of wrath having stability and say ok lets listen to this guys (who have clearly no idea wtf they are talking about but just to shut em up)
Clearly kittening about Retal guardians is the new black but only those who roll guardians can understand why is not as op as you think. HOWEVER the Devs SHOULD know this.
1st
in order for aproper retal build to be as vital as it was you needed to spec 30 points on virtues. 30 points on honors and 10 valor. why?? for duration and condition removal. max power to escalate retal and toughness to allow for retal to have the time to work.
2nd because of that you had ABSOLUTELY no precition, no crit dmg, no burst. how ever that was fine because you 900dmg+400dmg(retal) was decent dmg. wasnt a 5~10k crit dmg but good enough to be effective over a 30~45second fight.
congrats dough.. this is the first time that I see a comunity QQ and the Devs eat it right up.
Now because of this I already see topics forming up to pretty much dictate the next patch nerf.
I wish this was blizzard they would have given you all a nice paragraph of “you dont know siht so sftu”
/facepalm
(edited by valdamus.6289)
Nothing is more disgusting in an mmo than the community QQing about a skill that they dont undertand outside of “I-am-bad-and-die-hitting-my-self” skill and Devs that listen to them.
Good thing I caught on to this Siht quick and rolled a warrior.
Is no coincidence it was nerfed to 3 secs. someone in Anet has some serious OCD. because they only lowered it to 3 secs to match retaliatory subconscious.(3 sec ret when stunned, dazed etc), Healer’s ret (3sec Ret after a heal) and indomitable courage(3 secs with virtue of courage). and I dont see Anet changing it to 5secs. if anything we should just accepted b4 they give it at 30 sec cd same as RS and look the other way.
(edited by valdamus.6289)
^remember that he also deals 5% damage to burning targets.
to answer op. All this time i’ve used 6/6 rune of flame legion and well the extra dmg is nothing to brag about. Im gonna use now 6/6 of strength and see how that goes.
I agree with OP. sadly Anet for how i see them working things out it works like this.
1. if you are a guardian and you QQ about our class = clasified as QQing move along nothing to see here.
2.if you are NOT a guardian and you QQ about the class and manage to go viral on your QQ = Anet will do as you say.
10secs Ret to 3? LAWLFEST
Good thing soon my Anet’s paladin will be 80. (warrior)
guild wars 2 should have raids yes
End game IS the events you do after you reach your level cap. however guildwars doesnt believe in “End game” thus the content available after level 80 is no different than any other level.
Jc penny tried something similar having a “NO-SALES JUST FAIR PRICES” Add campaign that is taking them to bankrupsy. you cant just appeal to everyone and get away with it. IMO they better make some 80 end game quick b4 only fanboys are left.
I agree with OP. Is also a matter of what you have seen in the past. I played aion b4 and that was their bread and butter. Only a hand full of armor sets look AMAZING in gw2 AND you MUST be a human in order for the armor to look good. if you are anything else then gg.
Give me the patch!! Give it to me NAO!!
mesmer’s clones.
no one knows which one is real.
lolol that made my day.
yes and yes
/manymanycharacters
the only exclusive items that wvw has are powr+vit+tough exotic accessories. the gear you can get with karma (minus the helm) and for helm+weapons just farm dungeons. rare accessories + rare back you can get with karma.
Guardians are fine. L2P —-→WAY
I’ve come to terms with the tokens i lost and look the other way because I just know I wont see them and I have friends who I play with who have no fault over this and I do have a good time when we get together but Anet SHOULD learn from this and stop throwing fixes left and right w/o proper testing. There is a reason other video games take their time with patches and then they go through PTR before hitting live servers.
Lol valdamus what did you expect? They even personally replied to you.
You’re not extra special to get a personal patch you know ..
Actually no. nothing on the reply implies he is replying to ME “valdamus” I dont think he even read the hole ticket. it is clearly copy/paste answer to a DR token sup ticket. But in my case the problem was not the DR but the fact the the tokens I got did NOT register. (well one did so still missing 29)
(edited by valdamus.6289)
Just a heads up. Dont waste your time sending a ticket support about tokens because they will just copy/paste patch notes and tell you “sorry-you-loose-we-win” and take care of hundreds of ticket in a matter of minutes. Case and point:
My ticket:
“Ok last night I ran honor of the waves and I previously hadnt run the dungeon for two days. we chose “the butcher” path #1 and upon completion got 45 tokens rather than 60. It took us about 40 minutes to complete. Right after we choose the same path again knowing we would get 20 gems and many parties on my group got 20 while i got only 10.
Today, more than 12 hours later I ran honor of the waves “the butcher” path #1 again and got 45 tokens again while some got 60. It took about 40 minutes. Then the party broke and after 15 minutes we made a new party and ran path #2 to avoid penalty. It took us almost two hours and at the end I only got 30 tokens rather than 60 again. **HOWEVER! this time something even more horrible happened Thus the reason I make this support ticket. after I got the window telling me I got my 30 tokens I said goodbye to the group and left the group. Only to realize when I exited the Dungeon I only got ONE TOKEN!!!! RATHER THAN 30! WHAT??? I AM SO MAD RIGHT NOW and I lost so much time with my family to finish this dungeon run and it was FOR NOTHING!! please help me I want to love your game I really do but this bugs are killing me and I am sure I dont have to tell you the time invested necessary to only get frustrated after all is done.
thanks in advance"
Their awesome and very quick response:
“Hey there!
As you may already be aware, we’ve made some significant updates to the dungeon rewards system in Guild Wars 2. In case you missed the Game Status update section about Dungeon Changes which explains the issue with Dungeon Rewards you are reporting, I have included the information relevant to your issue for you below:
“All of these changes have been the result of an original exploit which was letting players receive upwards of 20 levels by completing a single dungeon run. We initially closed this exploit, which caused some new problems. The result is this new system which should increase dungeon rewards for players who play though them normally but help curb inflation of rewards for those who are using exploitative methods to farm them.
1) Dungeon tokens are now rewarded at the end of an explorable chain. This was done to stop players from repeatedly entering a chain and farming the first boss that dropped tokens rather than playing the entire chain. At some point in the near future, we will make up for this by making dungeon tokens a rare drop so that even players who are not completing a chain can make partial progress toward the rewards.
2) Dungeons reward 20 tokens for completion and now reward an additional 40 tokens for the first time they are completed each day. This means that if players can complete all 3 chains of a dungeon in a day, they’ll receive a total of 180 tokens, which is enough to purchase some of the smaller rewards.
3) Dungeon tokens should be account bound. This will allow players to have a single character farm tokens for their other characters.
4) Last week, to limit the most extreme cases of dungeon speed-clearing, we introduced a system to limit rewards for rapidly repeating dungeon clears. However, a bug in that system caused it to impact more players than intended. This week, we’re updating the system to not impact clearing different chains of the same dungeon. We’ll continue to evaluate this system in coming weeks."
It is important to understand that dungeon rewards awarded may now be different than what you’ve experienced in the past, as well as that the support team will be unable to apply any additional rewards to your characters. In order to stay up-to-date on these and other changes occurring with Guild Wars 2, be sure to check for the game status updates on the Guild Wars 2 forums and Wiki, which I have linked for you below:

I am no longer angry but very frustrated since I fallowed protocol and made a sup ticket rather than vent on forums but got treated like just another ticket I post it here for ppl to not waste their times like i did. I’ve dealt with support from the EQ Team/Blizzard/NCSOFT and I have to say this support team Anet has is by far the worse i’ve seen. Im thinking maybe f2p = bad support.
I agree 100% with George Steel!! Mainly because I still need a good 700 tokens from hotw and I dont want to get the boot at the boss from him. He did stamp his feet and I dont want to be part of the sufferees!
(edited by Moderator)
hadnt ran honor of the waves for two days and then I decided to go for the 60 tokens and after 40min only got 45. then decided to run the same path and it took us another 40min and only got 10 tokens. <—- that was brutal. (everyone else on party got 20)
Anet check logs, and gimmi my tokens >.<
I play asuran guardian and sure enough when i cast sanctuary I pay attention to players boons and they HAVE to visually get inside my bubble to get regen and one of my hotw runs a gigantic norm guardian casted sanctuary and it covered the entire screen and sure enough the second i got in i got regen. also the hit box does not work for heightkitten only an invisible AOE that centers on your toon. another expample is our attacks with a GS. because my gs is smaller i have to get closer to the mobs to hit them with my attacks. Very easy to test by creating an asuran class with GS and then a norm/charr and go to the mists and auto attack. Find a mob and use a branch/tree/rock as distance guide and auto attack. you will then feel much anger if you are a lvl 80 asuran guardian like my self who’s already farmed 5/5 karma gear(pwr/tough/vital)<—-none craftable and 180 hotw tokens for helm.
give me a cash shop option to chance races and problem fixed.
and put a gosh darn barber shop!! I’m tired of looking at my toon!! and a cash shop option to change races!! I play asuran and having a tiny hit box as a guardian is just dumb.
and yeah mounts.
Anet MNGR: BY THE GODS!! Players are only choosing path number 1 in hotw because is the fastest, easiest way! How do we fix this??
Anet Intern: Lets make the floor look like is there but in reality is NOT!! Players will go right through it and sure enough choose a new path!
Anet MNGR: BRILLIANT!!!
Just because I have an asuran guardian does not mean my hit box should be tinny as well. That is just no fair. or give me an option in cash shop to change races.
This is so very true. I see the armor on male humans and it looks so epic. Then I see it on my male asura and I just want to /delete my toon. Female Asuras have it even worse!!!
I agree 110%. I hate the look of my GS while I play my guardian. U wish I could pay $10~15 and chance races to a norm just so I can have a massive GS. Not to mention hit boxes scale down wtffff?
