Guild Wars 2

Please tell me they added swap weapons for Ele while not in combat.

How about WvW? is it still a zerg fest? Does thieves still stealth>BS everyone o.o ? How about Ele staff skills, any improve for pve?

Well, of course a lot has changed in 2 years. There’s no way to list it all. The trait system has drastically changed and not for the better. Dyes are account-bound is one change. There’s a wardrobe where you can see all the skins now. Living Story Seasons 1 & 2 have come and gone.

Just a few changes.

Well obsiously I’m not expecting anyone to list all the changes ^^.
Do you consider the game more polished now?

Hello everyone!

I haven’t played GW2 for 2 years now…anything new xD ? Anything important I should know about? I hope the game is much better now then it was at first months of release ^^.

Hello everyone,

I used to be a hard core player 2.5 years ago playing many MMOs, till I joined the army.
Now I dont have much time to play GW (more like 2.5 days every 2 weeks, or 5 days a month total) so obviously my gaming capability had been decreased. And I learnt to accept it.

I really love GW2 (I always wanted to play GW1 but I couldn’t afford it), but I just cant compete with the rate of new content you release. Dont get me wrong, I applaud your devotion on releasing new content for free but the rate of it kills the fun for casual player like me.

Every-single-event-living story that had been released, I missed almost it all because of lack of time. I cant spend all my free time at home (2.5 days/2weeks) playing GW LS and it unfortunate me alot.

Please Arena Net, make your LS last longer or any other option so casual players like me will be able to enjoy your hard work. I hate it when I come home and think to myself “oh no, another LS content, gotta play while I still can, as in 2.5 days I wont see that content forever, or at least another year”.

Suddenly the game just frezee like there’s huge lag and nothing happen; cant cast skills and no one is moving but me, then the game just disconnect.

Anyone else having this?

Few weeks ago I notice that the Ranger’s pet will not stop attacking unless told.
Even if both the Ranger and the pet on the other side of the map.

This is simlpy ridiculos. It doesnt make sense that your companion is chasing your enemy across the map, leaving you to fight by your own.

IBTFlame; I simply ask that the pets should have sth like 1200 radius centered on Ranger, which if the Ranger command the pet to attack an enemy, and the Ranger move further than 1200 range of the enemy then the pet will automatically recall by the side of the Ranger. Simple, right?

I really was shocked how Anet missed sth so obvious.
one of my /facepalm moment indeed.

I really like the idea of this event. It’s like all races of Tyria come together to celebrate the defeat of Zhaitan. Try to imagine how they felt when Zhaitan fell. No one believed it was possible to take down an Elder Dragon. But they did it!

So here is my small tribute:

Dragon Bash Festival Song

This world has lived in shadow from a pair of demons wings,
But none here fear the future or the the darkness that it brings.
The monster puts a quite a show expecting us to yield,
But there’s just one course of action when we take up sword a shield

Bash the Dragon, Smash the Dragon
Drive it right back into its den,
Bash the Dragon, Smash the Dragon
May it never rises up again,
Bash the Dragon, Smash the Dragon
Drive it right back into its den
Bash the Dragon, Smash the Dragon
May it never rises up again,
Bash the Dragon, Smash the Dragon
May It never rises up again.

Thanks Geotherma for potinting out mistakes.

Puru.4217:

It’s broken. That being said, it’s still more balanced than a mesmer underwater.

My advice would be to simply skip this map as underwater combat is just a mess in term of balance right now (ranger downed state, engi nades, thief shadow assault, mesmer as a whole). Even if underwater combat was fixed i would still not play it regulary simply because the map itself is small as can be.

I see. Thats what I did after she killed me – stayed away from the water like there’s a shar….o_o’…
Anyhow, thanks for replaying.

So here I am having fun in sPvP, Raid on the Capricorn map fighting thief until she went underwater and then my worst experience in spvp happened.

She just spammed that skill endlessly while I couldn’t even scratch her…
What does the thief community says about this horrible unbalance skill ?
How come Anet didnt notice this and fixed it?

Shadow Assault:
“Strike your foe repeatedly with a shadowy assault. Evades while active.”
Damage: 269
Number of attacks: 3
Evade: 4 s
Range: 200
Activation time: 2.5 s
Initiative cost: 5

Thank you so much for sharing this! The drawing looks so beautiful I’m stunned!

Ok I Did It.2854:

Im not a dev, but reading that crash report it looks like you are getting hit with the out of memory error, which occurs on people who run windows 32 bit OS, which im guessing you do,

I used to get the same error before I upgraded, only I got the crash everytime id zone into a new area for the first time.

So only by upgrading my computer will solve this issue :| ?

Below is the crash log. I ran the test program you gave me and I have its test log aswell if needed.

P.S
I deleted my IP from the log just in case as I’m not sure if its ok or not to post my IP on the web.

anyone? I have the report log if it helps.

Occasionlly, game crash when I’m doing the follow:

1) Zone teleport; from WP to even just entering other instance (dungeon/fotm/sPvP…)

2) Taking screenshot.

3) When encountering huge zerg VS zerg in WvW.

These 3 I’ve notice so far. Unfortunately, game just crashed with no appeared reason while I was in wvw assaulting Garrison with normal size zerg.

Another thing worth to mention is that error window I get every crash saying “not enough memory” or sth like so I copied all the content iside the error message but I cant find where to send a ticked :|.

Every day is about 10 crashes so please help me with this as I got realllly tired of that.

Viking Jorun.5413:

Ctrl + Mouse 2 to disable auto attack. Stop attacking when you see confusion on you. It’s as simple as that.

Are you mocking me?

Of course I stop attacking unless my condition cleansing is up.
Do you think the Mesmer will stop attacking? No. Therefore your health goes down while Mesmer health stay at top.

Any more useful advice other than scaling down its damage?

Dear Arena Net,

Please lower the damage caused by Confusing condition in WvW.

Hello everyone,

As title says, I need some advices about starting my first Legendary.
I’m playing Elementalists, mainly using Daggers, sometimes Staff when WvW/dungeon, and rarely Scepter. Also, since I’m serving in the army, I have only 2-3 days of playing for every two weeks.

My questions are:
1) Cant choose which Legendary to craft; The Bifrost (rainbows aren’t my thing…), Meteorlogicus (as I said, rarely use scepter) or Incinerator (but having only 1 kinda looks weird no…?).

2) Does 2-3 days of farming materials is enough?

3) What’s your material rate of drop? worth it?

Thats all for now.

Have you ever thought about removing CDs at HotM’s lobby so you can reach perfection with your rotation of skills?

How are you perfecting your skill rotations if you don’t take into account one of the most important factors in a skill rotation?

Make that turn on/off so once you do get the hang of it do it with CD.

Have you ever thought about removing CDs at HotM’s lobby so you can reach perfection with your rotation of skills?
As I see it, it’s a waste of time to wait for CDs to finish. Abolutely pointless imo.

I know players might trolling and perma-spam skill(s) but if Arena-net could limit the usage of skills. For example; a player spam A skill constantly just for the sake of trolling or just love the shiny effect, then the skill enters into CD of 5min or something like that.

Do you agree? if not state why please.

Windu The Forbidden One.6045:

The inquest did that, not the asura population at large.

Can you support this with reliable source please? As my source didn’t mention any “inquest did that”…

First came about ground? They been above ground since Eye of the North expansion in Guild Wars 1. That was over 250 years ago. The Sylvari firstborns are only 25 years old. Rata Sum and Asura empire would have already existed. Of course the Asura experiment on everything.

You dont get the point.

Asura used Sylvari as test subject like a guinea pigs. There is a difference between researching to conducting experiment on a race.

You do know that Asura think one day everyone will be ruled by Asura empire. Of course then Inquest wouldn’t mind experiments no matter what.

Yes, I’m aware of that.
But then again, why would Asura trying to restore the relationship with Sylvari if they’re gonna experiment on every race in the future? Why Asura haven’t conducted experiment on other races? And I’m not talking about researching, but on invasive experiments like the first meeting between Asura to Sylvari.

I really love the Asura race. They’re funny lil cute creatures with sharp mind and straightforwad personality.

BUT! I read that when Asura first came above ground, one of the first races they came across were the Sylvari. The Asura mistaken the Sylvari for “unusual type of flora”, they captured and conducted few experiment on few of the Firstborn Sylvari.

Only later the Asura realized that Sylvari are actually a living race just like them, and to this day, Asura have attempted to restore the relationship with Sylvari.

Quote: “although some tension remains, the relative peace between the two races can be attributed to the fact that the Firstborn chose to abide by the tablet of Ventari and did not pursue a vengeful course”.

After I read that I was in shock by the Asura chose of action. The smartest race on Tyria yet they conducted experiment on intelligent, peaceful race.
Now I am truely struggling if to play an Asura or not because I really wanted to be my 3rd character race but now I’m not that sure :/…

I hear it alot of how many servers are actually empty of players and “dead”.
As I see it, the reason for these “ghost servers” is mainly WvW.

How about you combine unpopulated servers together to form bigger one?
Why creating so many servers when you dont have enough players to maintain them?

I absolutely disagree with your idea.
It’s a waste of time to “…go back and heal at base…”. Besides, you need to be skillful in order to heal yourself in s/tPvP since the fights are often in small area so it’s hard to run away as you describe it.
