Eramonster.2718

Rainbow cat....really got me, laughing irl playing the vid :+1:

New WvW meta, mounted with weapon skill bars. Soulbeast & Deadeyes :astonished: this needs to be addressed before it gets out of hand.

Same. Been like 2, close to 3weeks now with this ping issue. Not alone on this, friends and guildies in SEA facing the same problem :astonished:.

The mount's endurance bar is kind of broken atm. After getting the 3rd mastery for an extra stamina bar, the mount could literally leap every 2-3 seconds.

Now allows you to catch up with tagged commanders, but leaving other players without mounts behind is perfectly fine? :anguished:

Even with the change, it still requires the player to OWN a mount to counter another (still a problem for long term).

I think they're interested to fight(I do). But prefer to wait for the right time eg. Cd's down or while they're occupied. :grimace:

Crappy but can be used efficiently. In general the mount pull is not suppose to replace sieges or render siege completely useless. It's still more efficient using the supplies to build battering rams. Killing an opponents delivery yak nearby will give some supplies as well (not enough to build a ram but can be used for pull). It's also possible to move back and forth to resupply from camp with the mount, tho its not advisable or worth doing it most of the time. In short, the ability is just an improved version of PvD.

If a ranger managed to burst and dismounted you. Take my word, grab this opportunity and go all in for the ranger while all the cds are down.

> I have a mixed opinion on the Warclaw, more play time is needed. One thing is clear: there needs to be a way to dismount riders. Riding alongside mounted enemies is ridiculous. All we do is look at each other with the unspoken truth that the first person to dismount will be at a disadvantage. Your pounce is likely to be evaded (3 dodges) and you are unlikely to be able to do enough damage to the enemy before they are a mile away. Or worse, you miss and try to dismount them and they try to engage you, forcing you to enter the fight without one of your dodges or at lower health. This should be addressed.

Not to mention, players can't cc mounted players, making melee completely useless against them. Range isn't any better, mounted players can easily disengage (the mount doesn't seem to slow down during combat. Needs more test, could be the leaps).

Absolute advantage having the mount for roaming. Have an additional 10k ish HP and 3 dodges to burn down opponents cd before engage. The mount can take a full brunt attack with no penalty to my HP and endurance :smile:.

Couple of wipes and down time looking for replacements probably. Non static groups.

No idea tbh, just assuming if they can implement new stuff into LS, it should be possible to act like a expansion delivered in pieces. With certain aspect eg. new maps, new mechanic, new monsters or introduce new playable class/race like how beetle mount is introduced who knows.

With no specific order: necro, ranger, warrior and thief. Just to note, easiest doesn't necessary mean best, if there's one.

As long as there's new content, its fine. The more and faster for them to be delivered the better of course. Expansion is just content shipping in bulks.

As for revenue, that's more of Anet's side. How much can they get from an expansion and quality one at that, I'll leave that to them. But as a consumer, PoF value will definately be higher for having more content.

Expansion is just contents in bulk (imo). As long as the game continue to release new contents (like living story etc) it will be fine. On the bright side, good to know the story with Kralk won't be rushed to an end (Mordre*cough*). But if possible, a little request; would like to see new npc/monsters models added together with every new maps added.

Best motivation and reason(at least for me) to explore and venture. Eg. The feeling of wanting to move forward while leveling and playing expansions (HoT & PoF) is to see new enviroment & new monsters. Eg. HoT maps is fun. Same for PoF , encountering Hydras for the first time etc, but it gets boring when same models is reused frequently or altered slightly(branded/ awakened) :frown:. LS4 is good, maps such as Jahai etc. is beautiful but would feel better with new monster models. (Love the rifts linking to different enviroments idea, was actually hoping one would linked me to a new world with monsters not seen before, teaser or some sort). Hope LS5 will offer new npc models.

Will be missed by many for sure :smile:.

Unlikely it will be linked to WvW ranks, except the masteries. If it could be used in PvE, it might even be a mount for core game players but that's just more speculations. No official news on the new mount on how it works, will there be channelling time to mount or is the mount upgrade-able etc. I'm more worried on, is WvW ready for a big influx of players with the servers connection being unstable lately.

Not a fan of limitation. Not saying stuff in WvW is balanced right now, would prefer to have things tuned appropriately, bugs quenched, skills behaviour and triggers working as intended to prevent exploits etc. than limiting the gameplay (Anything to the direction of giving everyone a stick and sets everyone to the same health and character for balance).

WvW and PvP is 2 different gameplay altogether. Rules, winning conditions, gearing system etc. WvW have a bigger pool of arsenals(food, gear stats, runes and sigils etc) available. Having more options means more variables to balance *if not overlooked*.

Assuming OP is suggesting to convert WvW to PvP system. Unlikely things will work out as imagined because even with the limitation, PvP has its problems.

Save me some time, at which point x:xx of the video for me to compare the burst made or whats the damage s/he takes with that build?

Sigh experiencing the same thing, close to a week? Funny thing is the lag starts and ends around the same time everyday. (an hour to go, for it to go back normal.) bummer.

> While I am still very much hoping everything works out well for each employee, this could be a refocusing on the core GW2 branch.

Hoping for this as well. Who knows, some of the employees might be directly or indirectly contributed to GW2. I know its too good to be true for them to retain the employees. Relocate/focus them to Gw2 (hopefully) or whatever that's making profit. Anyway going to drop this here, always sad to hear such topic happening. Just hoping the number won't be big and all the best for everyone.

Well here's another version or update on the news but we will most probably never know the real situation.

Wish they could just move all the staff to focus into GW2. Win win situation.

Not all have both, nor one, but come on, we have 5 people in group ... chrono, DH, ren, FB, Tempest, scourge, even thief and engi have anti-projectile, is it hard to change skills ? Is it hard to launch aoes and cc on mobs ?

> think they fixed the retargetting. last night i didn't need to retarget the boss every time she teleported.

Didn't happen for me and it's more than just a teleport, condi on her resets too. Could it be auto targeting? I play with mine "off". The maze gauntlet took longer and more of a challenge than the final encounter for me and my group. But can see why the final fight can be hard. It challenges the party as whole, everyone needs be experienced with the fight and how it works. Imo it's either the group made it through with no casualties, or won't make it at all.
