Guild Wars 2

Anybody have them unlocked yet?
Anybody used them and have an opinion about them to share?

They have a moderate unlock cost. That unlocks the schematic that a scribe must then build and put in line for construction.

The scribe portion requires a lot of Flax Fibers that basically make them cost so much that no one that has any are using them.

If you claim an objective (regardless of how long your side has owned it) you must wait 10 minutes for lvl 1, 30 minutes for lvl 2 and 1 hour for a level 3 tactic/upgrade.

If someone in your guild then moves your claim or the location is flipped, then there went that very expensive tactic or upgrade.

basically not worth it at the moment.

Only the lower level ones are even able to be made since scribe is stuck at 150.

Thank you for the response I heard from guild mates that the whole system is expensive. Doesn’t sound like we’ll be using then anytime soon due to the costs.

Why is scribe stuck at 150?!

Actually someone got it to level 390 now and it’s bloody expensive. 3500 gold to get it from 140-390, but he bought most of the resonating slivers out, so it’s even more expensive now.

Also siege and tactic schematics are also expensive because of flax fibers. Maybe things will be better in a year when there’s enough supply of materials around.

But… what a slap in the face for wvw lol.

So you just need again a ton of materials that you can’t get in WvW… Anet, what have we done that you hate us WvW players that much??

The way Mike O’Brien’s logic works is:
“If you’re in to WvW, then you’re really in to PvE”

You can get Flax and Flax Fiber in WvW now, from the nodes. It’s not nearly enough, though.

What the kitten??

I would have called it stupid, but that would be an insult to stupid things.

It’s just so fundamentally wrong on so many levels to insert such a huge grind for WvW and is not sustainable for many.

You know the way everyone takes this out of context sickens me. It is clear he meant to say, ‘come HoT if you are really into wvw you better really be into pve. Because we are really getting ready to screw you if you aren’t.’

Until today, you could actually get some sand for a guild hall in WvW.

Until today…

Stupid harpies…

The other way is just to ignore all that kitten… Ignore the guild upgrade, ignore the scribe, ignore the guild level…
And just play…. I do not want to grind and spend hundred of gold to unlock something that I had before HoT !!
I do not even try to do some upgrade on my small family guild…

But they do provide real advantage when used. If you have 2 servers/guilds fighting each other. One that has heavily invested into Guild Halls, Scribing, upgrades and grinded months in PvE for all that stuff. And other that ignores that, doing wvw instead every day. You end up PvE guild winning because they dont do wvw that much, because they can throw gold/PvE-mats at opponent.

The lesson here – to be good wvw guild you should avoid wvw as much as possible!

Yea, the costs associated with this new system far surpasses a night’s objective upgrade costs. I thought the goal was to reduce such costs to WvW players.

Not even worth going for the tactics, just getting the auras cause makes more sense even if the most useful one is the last one…

I would try hard to defend hills if I knew that (this guy I knew) spent hours upgrading it, sieging it up, and scouting it all day.

I doubt I would try especially hard to defend hills if (some PvE guild I don’t know) decides to spend 10+ gold to show off their fancy tactic.
