[Tactics]

A third option that needs you to have e.g. rank 500 to be able to pull (and/or no free to play account) would reduce alt-account trolls from most of the sabotaging they can do now.

I've been saying this for years and I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks like that. 

And the tactics is a slight inconvenience since majority of the time when wsr tries to attack after trolling they end up dying or running off.

I'm more annoyed at the blatant cheating and people not even hiding it anymore.

[Tactics]

I dont enjoy pve, in love with pvp and wvw. 

Pvp is already stale and filled with bots also monkey matchmaking. Idk if its just wsr or wvw is slowly following.

[Tactics]

Literally this, there is no communication whatsoever and it is a fact that reports aren't taken seriously. 

We literally have groups running cheats that give you barrier when you get hit. There are some on warclaw with distortion. People "shadowstepping" with no cooldowns at all. Was fighting a thief last night and it literally started bragging after killing me by teleporting on sm walls from outside several times then bming. 

At this point it feels like anet is willing to overlook all of this so they can boost the number of "active" players.

It's unhealthy and frustrating af.

[Tactics]

Just wanna enjoy the game man

[Tactics]

Can we please get a response from an actual dev about people cheating or pulling tactics on alt accounts rather than some auto reply before locking a thread.

 

Has anyone actually been banned? 

 

Up against wsr with people using exploits and cheats, running with perma barries everytime they get hit and being invun & teleporting when downed. Also being hit from under the map constantly. 

What is going on???

[Necros everywhere.]

Seems like a troll after reading this. Willybenders are literally everywhere, I've seen so much more of them than thiefs and necros combined recently.

UPD: Yes, there is no skill lag, your internet just sucks, deal with it.

Feels like at this point you just play a ranged that spams 111 calling it a job well done.

Skill lag is constantly being complained about and not related to people's internet connection.

Even good positioning is no longer a requirement.

Used to be good now it's just who has the most minstrel chronos and bubble revs. Boonstripping has been nerfed time and time again. This is the result of it.

i think that’s the main reason why you see so much necros, especially reapers (in pve). And now when they think „heiy let‘s check wvw“ they do it with their spec, they are most used to. Ta-ta.

Literally this. 

Me and at 5 other friends got into wvw playing on reaper with spectral grasp shenanigans and chaining fears. Was super fun back then when there wasn't as much stability spams

[Willbender still needs a nerf [Merged]]

Take engi rifle for example, thing hits like a wet noodle meanwhile ranger and deadeye seem to be deemed balanced, heck even the meme 1 shot warrior rifle builds.

Confusion changes that hurt every confusion build rather than fixing the culprit mesmer.

Then we have immortal cata builds and willybenders still alive and kicking.

But hey let's nerf phantasmal disenchanter instead. The skill no one complained about at all 😎

[Willbender still needs a nerf [Merged]]

Gotta love how nerf x class always ends up with people trying to make reaper look op or too good.

You also forgot Death's Charge which gives reaper mobility that is not on core or scourge and will give it much more mobility that something like core mesmer, chrono, non dagger off-hand ele, non-rocket boots engineer and non shiro revs. This is also without mentioning the amount of chill and cripple reaper vomits out. Your argument is disingenuous, it may not be super mobile but most reapers are very mobile these days, just not as mobile as the top mobile builds out there.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Death's_Charge

Not even going to bother trying to figure what point you're trying to make here.

That amount of mobility doesn't matter though and it's locked behind Life Force resource, which may run out and then what? The only reason why Reaper may appear as "mobile" is because of Relic of Speed and that's about it. Sure it may be tiny bit faster than what you mentioned, but it's still a slug level of speed in current meta.

This pretty much sums it up. Unless your opponent is constantly running away and you somehow keep lifeforce up, compared to everything else you won't keep up.

And I could actually try to play this spec in WvW zergs.

For wvw it's such a pain but slightly doable. Managing mech is the hardest bit and not having its skills Interrupted by random ccs.

 

I've lost count on how many times I'd have to shift signet it back because it would stand and not be responsive at all.

I just want a trait, that turns the mech into a glorified Ventari tablet. It no longer has hp, hitbox, auto attack, or anything. It becomes a simple effect, when the trait is picked. It relocates with F1, does its F-2-3-4 skill, when pressed, and cc once with F5. This way I wouldn't be inconvinienced by the clunky AI, if I would ever try to play support mech. And I could actually try to play this spec in WvW zergs.

Slightly hated opinion but this is how I wish scrapper was.

Just wanted to add on it's mainly the toolbelt skills that feel so lacksture when using any of the gyros. 

I get you have fields to blast but that's literally all it is.

You were gone for a year... Scourge had a crazy year with SotO release seeing upwards of 50k DPS which they reduced as it was THE highest DPS in the game at the time.

Now mesmer and ele is benching at 46k I think. 

Just waiting for anet to nerf confusion rather than mesmer then butcher ele once more.

[Willbender still needs a nerf [Merged]]

Forgive me, barely see one last long enough to try anything majority of the times.

But hey point still stands and that doesn't change a thing.

whenever they're pulled, launched, pulled again, pushed, pulled, pulled, pushed, launched and so on...

So gs 5 that can be easily dodged or sidestepped, spectral grasp, flesh wurm and spectral walk. 

That's 3 utilities gone but includes 1 stunbreak ig.

I've kited them for days. This straight up seems like a l2p issue.

Anet should remove autocast from Mech F skills. That one thing makes people whine about class playing itself and I  sorta agree.

What?

When have people been whining about this and why is it such a bad thing for?

 

As far as reworking the class I feel like two changes would be good. 

1. Give the mech stances instead of the avoid combat or attack.

Sentry stance, the mech never moves away further than 360 radius from you but still attacks when you do or you get attacked. 

Attack stance, same as what it usually does when you don't put mech on defence.

On a side note no idea why you'd want a avoid stance? If you don't need the mech just recall it?

 

2. Improve the pathing ai or whatever it is.

Haven't done that much pve compared to wvw but last night I had my experience of the mech parkouring over terrain, getting married, raising mech children before seeing them off to university then shortly after getting caught in legal battle due to tax evasion instead of simply walking forward to hit the boss.

In wvw I've had it just standing idle all of a sudden mid fight with the enemy just standing a 600 range away. Thought it was immob at first but there was no such conditions on the mech. Had to recall and summon it back to make it work again.

I just don't understand how in hot and pof we have ai that can chase us down without an issue but when it comes to mech ot sometimes struggles on the most simplest of things.

[New year resolution.]

Slowly started going back to pve, really enjoyed wvw but man idk what happened this past year but it feels more like a chore than just fun.

Look at necro--has Reaper/Harb that are both super mobile now...and necro was the SLOW class.

Genuine question, I can understand harb but when did reaper become super mobile? 

[Willbender still needs a nerf [Merged]]

I've literally killed people just using mouse and skill clicking in full zerk/mara.

But hey if people wanna play with a massive handicap to feel good let em be.

And i did fight groups in the past that where able to constantly hit me from range. Are you saying that, in irder to be fair and squate, after somebody used a ranged attack, all the others should have a CD on their ranged attacks?

Average tempest players in wvw are something else kekw

[Max range on Chaos and Frost Aura]

Pretty sure people have complained about this before. 

It does get annoying af just sat in perma chill when trying to defend an objective. That being said if they add a simple los requirement should make it better but with cmc being an ele main and the balance team loving boonball sweat can't see them ever implementing this.

[Eternity worth it? (Updated with new questions)]

Would just like to update, I just crafted Eternity via mystic forge and then sold it.

The skins for Twilight and Sunrise are in my wardrobe so I guess you do get them.

As far as I know, once you choose to unlock the skin, it will be added to your armory, so therefore will become account bound and you no longer be able to sell it.

I could be wrong though.

I always thought putting in weapons in the mystic forge unlock the skins whilst using them unless they changed it. 

Been literally doing wvw for ages and haven't touched anything else for a while until recently.

unsure you wont get them in the armory even if you ger the skins.

So the skins are guaranteed? I don't need the actual sword just want the skins.

[Eternity worth it? (Updated with new questions)]

A lil confused atm. 

If I put my twilight and sunrise in the mystic forge will I unlock the skins for them? (Not fussed about the legy just want the skins)

Was planning to craft both and mainly unlock the skins via mystic forge before making eternity and selling it.

 

I know if you account bound them then craft you can't sell eternity.

Shortbow only works if we can weapon swap, otherwise its in the dumpster

If engi gets weapon swap watch people screaming at it being unfair. 

The whole aspect of anet don't allow weapon swap due to kits is kinda eh.

Power builds use grenades, condi builds use grenades and bomb kit, healing build would use medkit and elixer gun.

All in all these builds have max kits of two.

Ele sits there with 4 attunements and conjure weapons.

ArenaNet, on the other hand, decided to make something completely out there

Aye, I understand this and am really happy with the fact that they are trying to shake things up but really can't fathom how on earth this weapon got a thumbs up.

Surely they go through some quality testing not only for bugs but also getting feedback from staff. Yet somehow this lacklustre weapon was given a green light and went through.
