[Celestial Harbinger]

delete stealth first.

[nerf the boonblob]

nerf  stealth play first.

[Everything got so much harder after 80.]

hey op,

do you play in NA? If so, I have a perfect build I can help you with. It will make all open world very easy including expansion. If you are willing to group up, let me know and I can guide you through under an hour and you will be beast 🙂

I'd personally rather fight something that can't just walk away from any unfavorable matchup.  Cele counters thief and ranger pretty well and those make up 90% of the boring roamer meta.  So good enough I guess. 

Exactly this. I am not into stealth gameplay. Cele has been the best counter for this 1 shot cheese build.

[When is Celestial getting nerfed?]

People complaining cele gear r the one usually run meme 1 shot build and if they can't drop someone with their burst, they usually end up dying if they stay and fight.

Then they come to forum and complain. 😄

 

[You have no excuse not to get into raids now]

I command Raid sometime. I just Lfg roles, I don't ask kp or exp. For some reason, Deimos has been challenge doing this way. Every other wing, group I make clear it easily enough.

Once in a while we get tank running 1250 toughness and tries to flak people whoever have more than 1250 toughness. I just simply tell them that this is pug with no kp check and if you didn't know what to expect, quit calling yourself experienced. They flame and leave :D.

Edit :

Raid can be toxic. People's attitude is just rotten sometime. That's why I bought tag. I run "Chill run". I put it on squad message that "lets have fun and do your best but Don't greed dps and fail mechanic". People mostly love it and its very nice experience this way for me.

[You have no excuse not to get into raids now]

I have 1 excuse. I don't like content even though I grinded for Armor sets.

[Perma Stealth Thiefs - What to do?]

Just ignore them if you can't kill them. Simple as that.

[Anet need to do something about cheating!]

So, what did the person you thought was cheating do? What class was he on? Is it possible you just never saw someone doing that before? I've been reported for cheating because while playing my deadeye I "had no cooldowns", so kinda have to ask. 

Deadeyes are cheater with Anet approval. Just a joke now. Don't take it seriously. 😄

haha:D i laughed a little. Guess he was just bad then... idk 😄 We have a little duellscene going on in our Guild and basicly Celestialharbinger and CelestialMechanist are dominating our little tournaments.

umm, Mechanist can't kill a thing if you kite around. They have sustain and you may not able to kill them easily but that's about it. Harbringer on other hand feels like real REAPER.

I'll be 'downvoted' but the fight shines a spotlight on how gw2 does not put a reign on behaviours and effects that impede combat awareness. The design should be to facilitate combat awareness not obscure it.

GW2 | Prototype XJ-1 Echovalds World Boss FULL HD 2k res Ultra Settings - YouTube

A boss fight should have some kind of trigger code that disables all "other player" effects. To keep the screen clean and focused on relevant information.

I agree, visual noise needs to be toned down.

For people who knows the mechanics, they can filter it and keep track of junk pile but When you don't know mechanics, you have no idea what you should be looking at in all that visual noise.

[Perma Stealth Thiefs - What to do?]

"Please please please please please, Join WvW as a thief and go and try kill a harbinger, a Renegade, or basicly anything celestial. "

I play celestial because thief backstabbing me. Thief definitely dictated how I roam. I used to run full Berserker and still do sometime but got tired of getting trolled by thief. So, I run majority of time in Cele Gear.

I admit, I have not lost 1v1 with thief with Cele gear but It was thief that made me play Cele.

[Perma Stealth Thiefs - What to do?]

My moto with stealth players is, If I can't single burst it, I ignore it.

But, thief having perma stealth and portal makes capping tower/keep easier. I tried many times to hunt theif stealthing in keep but it just massive waste of my playtime.

I just ignore it now.

[I feel excluded from EoD because Soo Won meta event is too hard]

I just ran as Commander W1 to W4 Raid encounter yesterday, as well as Eod Strikes. No KP check, didn't even ask for experience and didn't even sub group strike mission.

With couple of fail on Raid, cleared all easily enough.

Then thought about running DE META then, I said to myself, it's not worth it. Pug don't listen to you neither I have the energy to manage 50 people. I have failed this enough to not to repeat it.

Having harder content as well in open world is healthy for the game. 

I agree but this meta is beyond hard.

Dragon's End meta EXPOSES lazy players who can't manage half-decent DPS or understand the importance of boons. Great meta.

Its not about me or you. Its about Game health.

Tried the pre-nerf version ? 🤔

Yes I did and I got my turtle before nerf. But this meta sucks for open world event. I don't even know why I am still participating in this discussion anymore.  Anet and few of you can keep this meta.. but be sure to pay bills as well coz I am not paying Anet anymore for the direction game is taking.

DE meta, RNG base drop for T3 upgrade component for jade bot, just to name few.

Having surpassed 50 New Kaineng Bounty chests without the drop now, I'm done.

 

ArenaNet, you can keep your metas, you can keep your Jade Vault and all the predatory, anti-consumer bs you're calling "jade bot", and I will just keep my money in the future. This isn't a shiny skin we're talking about, you're locking character stats behind RNG walls.

I am with you on this as well. Until Anet changes some direction of game, like it was before EoD expansion, they are not getting penny from me anymore.

This is my first MMO ever and After doing a lot of research, I bought Guild War 2 thinking it's not like WOW.

I came to enjoy this game for what it offered and they are changing direction after 5+ yrs of this game I have been playing. I still like rest of the EoD minus dragon end meta.

[GW2 is not Ready for Steam]

It will fine. Steam people don't like Drama. Anet definitely have marketing team who knows what they are doing. At least, better than forum warrior here.

Did it earlier today with 2 minutes left on the timer. I can understand your frustration but that your group failed is not Anet’s fault. 

I like to see you commanding with advertising on Dragon end map. Anyone can leech from Arborstone lfg. It's not that complicated.

We are still talking about Open World Meta event, right?

Edit, I am truly done with this meta until further change. I don't have time for multiple fail on row. And, no I won't join from Arborstone on private tag for open world meta. It's not that important to me.

If you guys enjoy it,, keep it.. Just hope Anet don't go down with content like this. Good luck to all of you.

Its a player problem. When strong teams can beat with it 5+ mins left on the time, what does that say about player skill?

sure,  may be Anet should make this META more dps check with more mechanics, like Dhuum CM. I am sure some people will love it.

At the end, content is always easier for some and harder for others.

Are we still talking about open world META event?

[Upcoming Changes to "The Battle For The Jade Sea"]

Just ran meta, I was commanding it. Failed at 1%.

I am done with this meta for now. keep your meta and ask for more of these content and soon, you will all be playing together with Anet going bankrupt. I am not dropping single penny on this game until Anet changes some direction of game.

Good luck. I am done with this meta until further change.

[Upcoming Changes to "The Battle For The Jade Sea"]

I am beginning to think Anet is getting feedback from few elite people who likes to keep the meta the way it is. More pug fail is better for those few elite people who make premade group. This way, they can keep the price of "Antique Summoning Stone" high.

My first kill came @13th try, I did it one more time with premade group. But, commander was telling in squad message not to tell people in map that they r doing meta. Also, getting his fren/guildmates as alac/quickness. Then, asking people that were in map to leave. Needless to say, I left. I do not like to associate myself with group like that.

 

[Meta + Strike Missions = Turtle. No thank you.]

So players that do strike missions don’t have jobs? I don’t think that’s true. I have a job and I am working on my PhD, but still I do strike missions. 

You are working on PhD yet, you can't think of other people and their ability to not being able to do certain task? Weird.

Or may be you are young. Once you hit age threshold, your thinking will change. Life experience is a thing 🙂

Game defining feature that was advertised shouldn't be locked behind anything other than story.
