Underwater combat no longer being supported?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

One of the main reasons I even bothered with this game was that the devs made underwater combat unique and actually made it part of the game. upon release, we saw half our skills didn’t work underwater along with simple things like pets not working either. Since then we have seen zero inclination in supporting the water areas, we cant even get an exotic breather for example. WvW underwater zones saw their areas literally deleted and replaced and edge of the mists doesn’t have a single underwater area in it.

Underwater has officially been removed from spvp. Is this the end of underwater gameplay? I would like to know so I do not spend any more money on gems on this game if this is the case.

Well I will be requesting a refund once this goes live. Anet, you are changing items I paid real money for, I did not pay for tonics, I paid for town clothes that I was able to mix and match. If I do not receive a refund this will be the last patch I download as the game will be instantly uninstalled.

When will my flesh golem be able to attack?

in Necromancer

Posted by: wickedkae.4980

So for the past week I have been using the flesh golem and it never does anything. It just sits there by my side no matter what I do. It never attacks even after I use his charge ability, he just stands there. I was wondering if a dev could explain why this is and if this is working correctly. Maybe change the tooltip:

“Golem will not attack, only used for charge.”

Nothing like this is in a tooltip so I was wondering what is the point of the golem if it never does anything. I look at other classes and their elite skills seem to work. Why does the necros not?

So we are stuck with small rectangular maps with low populations for the rest of GW2’s lifespan? In the year 2014 the best Anet could do was was this? DX9, terrible optimization, a map full of zones (WoW has an open world with tons of players in single areas, DX11, etc and is way older) and no hope for anything more?

This may sound like a troll post, but it isn’t. The future for GW2 is not very bright. The inherent limitations make this game a permanent last gen game forever. Guess I’ll be spending my 25-60 bucks a month on another game here soon. Don’t worry I won’t tell your investors though I doubt they would be happy to hear this.

Thanks for the ride Anet, but I’m not going to support such a narrow minded company. It is 2014, get it together please.

I really hope the graphics optimizations aren’t just delete and turn down graphics in game. I have a beefy machine that isn’t being used in this game, and no offense Anet, but this sucks. You guys are running a DX9 game in 2014… you may want to hire new engine engineers…

Well, I defended these new events at first..

Uhh ya you guys missed the point. You can’t play how you want. At least not to the fullest extent.

Part of getting good with your class is the ability to try everything your class can do and use it all efficiently. Anet has gone out of its way to make it very difficult for players to test and try different builds to the fullest extent. Good gear is mandatory. Don’t fool yourself. Different gear is required for different builds. Anet makes sure all of this is impossible. Very hard to get better with so many hurtles.

If GW2 is about skill then why am I not allowed to learn and switch between set builds easily to test and learn? If all players could do this then ALL doors of a class would open and people may actually find what they like. Instead you basically need to pick a specific direction and build your gear around that. That leaves very little room for people to learn and get better all around. I would love to try more build son my necro, but I am fully ascended and if ANY anet dev thinks I’mgoing through that nightmare again… LOL ya right. I am now stuck with my build and if people need me to maybe do something different to help the group, i can’t. the whole system is beyond stupid.

So basically they want us to try to get better with new builds and learn etc, but then add nothing that will help us with that. and by that I mean:

No talent/skill profiles
Incredible expensive and hard to get armor sets (with max stats)
No wardrobe function to switch between armor sets to try new things

I just don’t understand Anet. They keep giving us stuff no one really asked for, but ignore what we really and, most importantly, NEED. And we have needed a lot of these simple features since day one. Even more pathetic is that Guild Wars 1 has some of these features.

They have never responded to these issues and wont, because this would affect gem store sales. Really sad to see that Anet going this route. I actually fear we will begin to pay gems to unlock any new skills that are introduced. 500 gems per new skill sounds about right.

Sooooo, necros really are not something Anet cares about. Ok, as this is the only class I play, I now really am seeing that Anet does not want me to support them with gem purchases. Thanks. Saved me some money.

My friend just got the game and can’t post becuase of this problem. When he goes to authenticate, the launcher says the email is sent to his yahoo address, but it never shows up. He has checked spam, everything. He did select that emails from anet would be trusted, but now he gets none.

His ticket number is 296772

I don’t mean to be rude, but this is unacceptable. He was able to play just fine until he activated this email authenticator.

What would GW2 be like with trinity?

wickedkae.4980

I would leave and stop pumping in upwards of 50 bucks a month. Please stop talking about turning gw2 into EVERY OTHER Mmo out there. Seriously if you want the kittenty trinity, go away. Gw2 is just not your game. I play this game to get away from people forcing me into roles like healer. If you don’t like freedom go play something else. There are plenty of other games to fill this archaic way of playing a game.

Why is JQ and SoR playing dead?

BG and SoR always 2v1 JQ. i have never seen those actually fight each other in a real battle.

Well BG wins because of 2v1. I have never seen BG fight alone, JQ is always 2v1’d. Terrible win by BG. Boring match watching a BG and SoS zergs just sit there all friendly not fighting each other.

Armor skins, transmutation not the answer.

What i mean is that as the game progresses over time we will simply run out of bank space ( I already have) I don’t have room who know how many other sets get released.

Armor skins, transmutation not the answer.

So I take great pride in the amount of work I put into the look of my character, but have been wanting to change her look around, but realize that using a transmutation stone would destroy the skin of another piece of armor I worked hard for.

With the upcoming Aether skins, I would like to buy those and use them, but I will loose my current earned skins. This really sucks, to be blunt. So when i buy the ather skin and another skin set is released down the road I will have to over ride the aether skin to get the new look.

Anyone else find this ridiculous?

I do not want to spend a ton of in game gold to have tons of sets of the same stats ( of which there simply is not enough space to store anyway) just to transmute to all these other skins.

Are there any plans for us to consume a skin and then maybe use it whenever we want? They say they want us to have variety, but the current system does a great job in killing that,

Downed State: "Fear" has Longest Cast Time

in Necromancer

Posted by: wickedkae.4980

wickedkae.4980

Fear is a terrible skill. It targets 1 target, while every other class has the ability to remove themselves from multiple people at a time. We have a single target fear with a long cast time. It is utterly useless. And yes it does seem to fail more often then not. Many times i will fear someone only for nothing to happen. Necro is broke.

January updates - Any sources?

Well after seeing WoW’s update notes for their new features GW2 is starting look really dull. Really hope Anet adds some new depth and interesting stuff. Seems like all Anet knows how to do now is add RNG stuff. And still no sign of a MOBA in GW2 either. This game’s future is starting to look bleak.
