Guild Wars 2

Please stop the “You just do not understand other classes” posts. It is not true.

I do agree that fun can be had with many different combinations of classes, but some parts of this game are just a means to an end, like CoF. Need gold , want it fast, not interested in wasting time. 4 wars + my mesmer is the fastest way, but I don’t care as much as others so as long as at least two of the group are War/Guardian I am happy enough. It is always MUCH slower than a full war/mesmer group.

No class can match the damage of a warrior and survive as well at the same time, add a Guardian and you increase everyones survivability.

lastly, Warriors are easy for anyone to play and I am less concerned you might just be bad at your class, die constantly and really make my play time a nightmare.

My advice, join a guild and play with that guild. I have even tried some combos of classes in fractals that went completely wrong with guildies, but we tried anyway for the challenge. 2 ele, 2 thiefs and a necro for fractals, sure why not lets see if we are good enough.

When I play in PuGs I want the best possible outcome so I do my best to stack the deck in my favor.

I like using Hidden Killer in my build so I was already getting the reveal buff since I always attack from stealth unless I am on the defensive and I expect to be in combat for a few seconds before I try to stealth again.

I do see this making me think a bit more about my choices, but I doubt it will change much.

I think it is a mistake to fix culling and nerf stealth at the same time. You never change two things that affect the same set of skills at once.

As far as thief goes, the people who die to the GC backstabber will still die because you are not good player. If you could not avoid the burst before this nerf it wont matter after. Keep telling yourself its culling, its not.

2. Good thieves will still beat you down because they do not rely on perma stealth or culling, 4 second reveal goes by fast and then poof we are gone again. its not like the thief will just stand there and wait for the 4 seconds to go by. They are very mobile.

My guess is this was as some said more of a nerf to veil, because if you have multiple mesmers you can keep tossing veil and have a huge group stealth as they enter combat, however with culling removed is this really that big of a deal? Shouldn’t that be a viable tactic?

lets remember the real issue is that when people were not in stealth they did not appear to us. I am not sure how anyone could evaluate a skill like stealth when it was not working as intended in the first place due to culling.

just my 2cents.

I think the person that called it “coverage wars” was right. Everyone wants to think its their tactics that win, but for most servers it really comes down to having enough players 24/7.

Personally I would prefer an even match up so that you knew you won because you played better that day or that week, but Wv3 isn’t designed to be fair. How many guilds will choose to do the new guild missions and spend less time in Wv3? That can have a huge impact, its just the way of it.

RAWR!!

That is all I have to say about that.

I think its a clear win-win for Kain no matter what the results..

Now where can I find a giant clock that hangs from a chain. I just hope we do not encounter Brigitte Nielsen…

Finally the real fight begins!

Mesmers are very good at survival, but they require more player skill than most to be any good. You can not just spam one or two skills.

There are a lot of combos that work very well like Chaos storm , Illusionary leap, clone/mindwrack, sword 2, staff 2. Be quick at this and your target may already be dead if your a shatter build.

Know your field combos to bring up Chaos Armor often.

It just depends on what kind of play style and what weapons you want to use

I am sorry you are getting beat down in a way you do not approve of.

You are not the battle we are looking for, but this is good practice because we do have a lot to learn.

Thank you for helping us become the champions I know we can all be, every day is a learning experience and an opportunity to grow stronger.

Mostly thank you for continuing to fight.

I think the players of Kain are happy that this week thus far has been a success. If the match up is not fair it is not our fault, nobody on Kain picked it and this reset made it worse because next weeks match up looks to be horrid.

After a few weeks I hope we are matched with a group of servers with equal numbers. Please try to be positive, most of us have no ill will towards any of you and just want to have a fun time.

I just want to say thanks to all the YB and CD players who continue to fight. WVW is not fun unless there is someone to battle and I know how it feels to be on the down end of an unfair battle.

I truly hope that WvW eventually evens out and settles down to better match ups for all because that is when it is most fun. I do not think anyone really wants to fight a drastically uneven battle

PUGs can do fractals fine. A full group of squishies cant, a group that is unwilling to learn can’t. Players with full glass cannon spec cause they like to see high crit numbers cant.

It just takes some time to understand what you are doing. We all see the same issues.
Players who rage because you don’t know the content and scream at people and rage quit and the players who refuse to listen to direction.

IF you don’t know ask, if you do know explain to others. Do not make silly attempts at high level fractals with a group of casters unless you are doing it for the extra difficulty and are willing to take that challenge.

And if you are going to rage quit because your group either doesn’t know how to glitch or isn’t willing to then its you that are the tool.

This is a social game, help each other out.
Peace

When will then be now? Soon!

Chill out people. You act like the game has stopped working until its patched, just play and have fun the patch will happen when it happens.
