In my personal opinion at this time i not see any point for playing this game anymore, because i reached the top… Is there something from this topic what will be changed ? I think there are much ppl, which are deciding about the same : Is there any reason for stay ?

Well gw2 point of game is not gear treadmill. Its about having fun, doing what you want,what is fun for you, not some carrot on the stick game and it seems like you burnt out farming that legendary and lost will to play gw2.

(I think you are used to much on games like WoW and if you really want that type then I don’t see any reason for you to stay.)

While I agree they really need to upgrade their spvp system to become more competetive(split solo and premade ques etc).

Hello I don’t know if this was posted before but it would be nice if we were able to give gems to our friends, like gift option in " league of legends"

Still looking :P

Yeah I know about PvE, but I really want to know how to get PvP ones

Rank 80? Can you give me source of your info because I couldn’t find anything.

Sanis.1096:

craft it/get it from chest

Craft it how and what kind of chest , also source?

Can you elaborate that abit? What kind of chests, 2 teams tournaments ones or 8 team or glory rank 40 + etc.

Does anyone know how to obtain destroyer pvp weapon skins?

Still looking for answer, anyone knows?

Hello, I know Krytan pve armor can be obtain via gem shop, but I’m asking is that armor from shop also for pvp or you can get pvp krytan armor from paid tourneys or something else ?

I think whats only left for us to do is to report this bug within game and hope they see it.

ErikxRod.4832:

while sigils arent salvagable too, i think back pieces should at least be salvagable for ectos

I hope they do something about this, I also have back with rare gem I want out :/

Yeah, hope they fix that

Tainden.1640:

I checked out the thread and the issue you’re having sounds like a rather odd one, have you tried talking to support? as in support tab at the very top of the page.

I haven’t, didn’t want to annoy them with this kind of issue( they have alot more important things then this to solve) I can live with mine but if someone have same issue and found fix would be great.

……………..?

…. anyone got any other idea maybe?

Check your shortcut, or create a new shortcut on the desktop. (Probably best to delete your old shortcut and make a new one anyway).

Windows 7 (If you are) can be a bit funny.

I’m using win 8 currently(got it for free coz I’m student, so w/e lets try it :P )tried your solution , unfortunately it didn’t work .

nottsgman.8206:

perhaps it is verifying the file that you transferred? have you tried letting it finish downloading the file to see what happens?

Maybe I wasn’t clear enough. I want to play gw2, so what I do is click on my gw2 client, and it starts to download 100256kb file, after that I can login and play,but problem is that every time I want to play guild wars I have to wait for gw2 client to download that 100256kb file.

any chance you guys could take a look in this thread and help out?

Solid Gold.9310:

If you formatted your PC the client is gone.

When you start the game it’s downloading the client and all the patches.

It may take some time, depending on your connection speed.

I transferred gw2 client from my bro PC, its not downloading patch/game its downloading something else that always has same value, a 100256kb file(then after that I’m able to play, but its annoying that it has to download it every time I go to play gw2)

………..
… ?

So I formated my computer recently and every time I start my guild wars 2 client it starts to download something(like 100256 KB file,every time same amount),but before It didn’t download anything could just login straight away.

Anyone got idea why is that?

Payneful.7934:

If you’re looking for competition, you need to go to paid tournaments. Free tournaments is where premades test out new builds, comps, and classes. So, you shouldn’t expect every premade in a free tournament to put up a solid fight.

I certainly would love to, but can’t because even in prime time wait time is far too big ( as you can see https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Leaderboards-for-Qualifying-Points not so many teams )

It’s not a point of calling out that particular team or whatsoever, but a general drop in quality of pvp players that I have started to see continuously.

Here is it, had to remove names

So today I’m queing with my bro ( he is necro ) to play some tourneys, and all day we are winning almost all tourneys,when we lose its at finals vs premade.

This happend just a while ago(me and bro with pugs against full guild premade team)check out results…
It makes me cry how many “competitive” people left the game

Fellknight.4820:

LMFAO

Mage-Tanks? HAHAHAHA
The very concept is moronic, how the hell did a game in 3 months sell you on a idea that idiotic when no MMO in history would have been so stupid to even suggest…

Well I don’t see why not, they planned to get all classes to be able to tank/dps/support so why not mage as well? why should they follow everyone else?, I agree its not working as planned for all classes/specs tho but it can be fixed.

I play ele,thief/guardian regullary,yeah its easy for thief to kill you if you are specced in pure dps
(as they should imo, they are assassins after all?they are meant to kill squishy classes quickly),

but I specced my ele to be all around, and it can do wonders, not to mention pawn thiefs, its all about right spec/skill .

I just hope they fix this asap, because its really annoying to lose like this, not to mention if this(most likely did) happened to someone in paid tourney…

Hello, why is it still possible on second map of tourney for thief to teleport(aka exploit his way in) inside enemy base and solo boss, WITHOUT even hitting any gate once(our both walls were at 100%).This is second time it happened and its really starting to get annoying, we would won if they didn’t exploit this….

Btw do I have right to post their names here?

Reserved for future editing if needed.

————————————-Mesmer—————————————

Mesmer, master of deception now this is class that was rarely seen at the begining, not many people decided to play it but after some people mastered this class and people saw it was really strong class, "fotm "wave came (like “heartseeker” thieves before)

So people atm consider mesmer class to be must on competitive pvp and here is why.
Mesmer have great mobility,great damage and really good deception skills.Mesmer as many of you know is mostly going on trebuchet at last tournament map because he can defend it pretty good and if destroyed he can make portal and get repair kit so fast, like no other class and this imo should not be allowed because need of mesmers gets big.

Mesmer ulti “Moa morph” we all know whats this, it seems really powerful tool if used properly and I think they should put 5 sec duration insted of 10 but as well halve the cooldown from 180 sec to 90 sec.

When you downstate mesmer atm and he clones himself you can see which illusion is real because there is arrow pointing besides his head and when before ladder comes this should be fixed imo.

—————————————Engineer————————————-

I’m sorry but this is only class that I didn’t play in pvp yet so I can’t comment much on it.

———————————-Necromancers————————————

Necromancer class that was very powerful at BW1 was nerfed big time till the release.
So lets start with necro’s fear duration 1 sec. I mean what is this ? Thief/warrior and even rangers pet have larger duration on fear than necromancers

Class that is master of undead has useless pet build? Pet being bugged and having so little hp / dying from random “AoE” effects and so on.

Vamp spec necro is useless, doesn’t work properly.

Necro’s teleport is crap compering to other classes teleport, like thieves / elementalists / mesmers they all have instant (get out of jail card :P )

Necromancer is class with most bugged traits that either doesn’t work at all or properly.

———————————————-NOTE——————————————

This review is based on my opinion, If you find any grammar mistakes note that english is my second language. Feel free to comment and suggest what you think.(Classes that I didn’t write much about is classes I didn’t play for many many hours.)

————————————Elementalist———————————

I’m sorry I won’t write about each class completely because it would take so much time, il just say generally what needs to be said.

This class imo in competitive PvP can be played only as support or point holder,while it can still do damage the way its played is to “outlast” your opponent.

I played this class dagger/dagger and all I can say is that I enjoyed most in this game by playing this class, its so dynamic and so many abilities to use, there is no time where I don’t have something to do (Auto attacking is almost non-existant ) if I die I know its by my mistake,but its only one spec as far as I saw that really works,Imo

I would love if all classes in this game made me feel like this one,to have so many options,e.g. Ele have (20 skills+5 utility)but other classes normally have 5+5 weapon switch +5 utility.

—————————————-Warrior———————————-

Didn’t play warrior as much as other classes but I think they are not in so bad shape at the moment. Warrior needs some but not so many buffs to certain things.

Remember how you got owned by 100 blades for first time when you didn’t know whats happening and most people cried and called it “OP”? well its not “OP” its mediocore at best, Warrior needs little tweaking and it will be alright I think, feel free to correct me if i’m wrong about this.

—————————————-Guardian————————————-

Now this is class that is pretty strong at current state very good survivability and damage output and considered as one of, if not best point holder.

Guardian is pretty balanced class in many things you can play it with many different styles that works well.

Well only thing that isn’t balanced about guardian is his defensive build, it has so much control(knockdowns,walls,barriers) and ability to sustain so much damage and cleanse conditions too often ( from traits passive 1 every 10 sec), from heal 1 every 10 sec , from utility to convert conditions to boons etc.

So what should be done is to remove his passive cleansing completely and lower cooldown from utility cleanse from 60 sec to 15 sec (making it more skill based and not passive based)And maybe to nerf some defensive traits but not much so he can’t hold 2 people on him for 5 min tweak some abilities. Point holding is part of tactics but facerolling is not.

—————————————Ranger————————————

Problem with this class I think is same problem as thief class, too much auto attack, not much choice to do something else (but not that limited), some buffs to spirit spec is needed.

Hi, I’m long time wow player (last time played it in cata and got to 2500 in 3v3 arena).My first char was thief(but I played all classes) and I’m currently rank 24 in PvP .I, like many others found wow boring after so much time and decided to play gw2 and this is my story:

WoW type of balance:

There was never proper pvp balance in “WoW”,it was always some class is OP this patch and so on next patch but there were always few classes that were always good,so it was FOTM and gear check in competitive PvP (arena) aswell if you wanted to hardcore PvP (gladiator wise) it was alot easier if you had PvE legendarys weapons/PvE trinkets.

Only thing I really like about “WoW” PvP was arenas but reason why it won’t be in guild wars 2 (probably) is because there is no “holy trinity” so gw2 arena would last like 1-2min but that wont be problem if we get more game types like CTF or something like “Star Wars Huttball”

So what I and probably most of you like here in gw2 is that there is no PvP gear grind for items that all gear is same and that this game would be " skill based " , and I was hoping all classes would be hard to master but that atm that is not case here and here is why:

Class overview:

——————————————Thief —-———————————-

Thief dagger/dagger

While thief is class that I started to play first at(BW1) I know pretty much about it.First I tried d/d thief and I like it but after some time it felt you auto attack too much(condition build spam “Deadly blossom” to evade and bleed enemies)(power build spam auto attack/spam “Heartseeker” when foe is on low hp),

“Dancing daggers” = rarely used because u just don’t need to slow enemies at most of time because we don’t lack mobility.

“Cloak and Dagger” = used from now and then , mostly for “backstab” spammers,now note that “backstab” base damage is not the problem,but singet 150% damage multiplier

So glass canon thief build d/d without that singet would be useless because thief with this spec dies so fast its not even funny.

Can thief one shoot some people with backstab?
-Yes he can if target is glasscanon and if target didn’t see that thief is coming for him.

Thief shortbow – Mostly used by thieves as second weapon set, good for mobility and “AoE” damage output.

I won’t be commenting on shortbow much because there is not much to say

Thief Pistol/Pistol – This spec at the moment is at bad state, some traits don’t work well for this spec.

What I would like for this spec is good amount of health and ability to leech health more then now.

Thief sword/pistol – Most notorious build after nerf of “heartseeker” spam. So lets review abilities first.

1)Infiltrator’s Strike – This ability is great, thief in and out mechanism.

2)Pistol Whip – This is only good damage source after auto attack and for that people spam it to death.

3)Headshot – This is very well made, nothing imo should be changed at this ability.

4) Black Powder – Not much to be said for this ability,its great against melee classes.

So what Thieves s/p commonly do is teleporting to target by steal or Infiltrator’s Strike and then haste + 2x pistol whip and target is dead or close but imo this is noob check(remember 100b wars?now nobody complaints because they learned to play), against good players there is so many options to escape this and punish thief.

Thief Sword/dagger – Don’t have any idea how to fix this spec.(I don’t think anyone actually plays this)

Thief Dagger/pistol – Actually not bad weapon choice good mobility, good interrupt/blind.

Overall thief imo seems to auto attack way to much and for skill based game it shouldn’t be so.

How to get this armor set in pvp,its called PvP apprentice armor, but I cant find how to get it on google and wiki says unknown,any ideas?

http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/apprentice1.jpg

Well dagger never can provide better visual appeal then big greatsword no matter how you make it imo, and I don’t necessarily think we should get double less requirements but at least some.

Hi so here is what I noticed, I’m collecting for my legendary ( dagger ) and I noticed that making 1h is same or even harder than to make legendary 2hand greatsword, while I agree that legendary should be hard to obtain I think that it’s not fair that making 1h legendary should be equal as making 2hand, so my idea is that either you lower the cost of 1h legendary, or increase the cost of 2hand legendaries.

I’m sorry if I put this in wrong section,but imo its general discussion.

This is required to make legendary as far as I know.

Base Exotic Weapon
Base Gift
Gift of Mastery: Bloodstone Shard + 250x Obsidian Shard + Gift of Exploration + Gift of Battle
Gift of Fortune: 77x Mystic Clover + 250x Glob of Ectoplasm + Gift of Magic + Gift of Might

So lets see

Base Gift Sub-Gifts:

Dagger – Incinerator = Gift of Metal & Vial of Liquid Flame =120g /excluding gift of metal
Greatsword – Twilight = Gift of Metal & Gift of Darkness = 98g /excluding gift of metal

We both need 525k karma.

So as you can see, making 1h is equal or even more costly than making 2h and I think it should be changed, but I want to hear your opinions.
