Guild Wars 2

Hey all. Gallimar/Webley here

Thought about returning but before i downloaded all the updates and what not I had a few questions.

I quit shortly after the first ever WvW season thing. I ran with TKG @ JQ, and before them MERC @ BG/JQ (About a year ago?).

Has the skill lag gone?

Is there now functions for guilds to fight guilds other than the arena space in the jumping puzzle? (Guildwars? Hence the name/title suggests)

Do the graphics yet support crossfire/sli

Have they changed the AOE limits, or made them better/worse/more fair?

IS there new wvw maps?

IS the wvw queing issue gone?

Have they merged any empty servers yet?

Are there more objectives other than capping outside and inside keeps for ppt?

Has the ppt system changed an any way at all?

Any siege changes/improvements?

Are there many active aussie guilds left?

Any commander tag improvments?

Any targetting improvments?

Have they enabled the function to change the colour of the mouse cursor yet?

When I left there was news about making new purple armours with materials. I made a purple weapon on a few characters. Did they implement this grindfest fully into WvW yet? (Before you could only grind part of the materials in WvW and had to do the rest in PvE)

Is Tarkus/Indevar still playing?

1. Nope.
2. No. They put in a ‘space for bigger battles’ called Obsidian Sanctum. It’s in the former EB jump puzzle area, but GvG is not supported.
3. Not that I am aware of.
4. No.
5. Kind of? They put in “Edge of the Mists” which is a merged green/blue/red battle, but it’s really just a PvE karma/champ train.

6. Queue issue seems to have resolved itself for the most part.
7. No.
8. They added “Bloodlust” which is a mechanic that awards the server that holds 3/5 nodes with various buffs, as well as 1pt per stomp to their war score.

9. Related to 8 up there, you can make up a lot of PPT with stomps.

10. Arrow carts are still ridiculous, but always will be.

11. MERC is still active on JQ. I think NV on BG is Aussie. HIRE on TC has an Aussie pop as well, I believe. Not sure on the lower tiers, sorry.

12. No.
13. Don’t believe so.
14. No.
15. And no.

Tarkus still plays, he’s in OnS. Indevar still plays, and he drives for Night Shift [NS] on… SoS, I think.

So, there you have it.

Thats a lot of “No”

Ok thanks. Guess I will keep away a bit longer. Same old rubbish from what i can see. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions

Webley.1295:

Has the skill lag gone?

Nope. It’s not always as bad though since there are no longer massive queued blobs fighting, even in T1.

Is there now functions for guilds to fight guilds other than the arena space in the jumping puzzle? (Guildwars? Hence the name/title suggests)

No, they added something in the EB JP like an arena of sorts to fight ‘openly’ but its not really a GvG place and you can and do get trolled by randoms time to time if you try to GvG there.

Have they changed the AOE limits, or made them better/worse/more fair?

They nerfed mesmer’s aoes I think back in the day you could confusion bomb a big blob but that doesn’t work anymore. Statics and line skills still work though, all other aoe still same as launch.

IS there new wvw maps?

There’s edge of the mists but it’s not really a WvW map. Basically all the uplevel karma train players go there for quick level/karma/wxp/champ bag.

IS the wvw queing issue gone?

The queue bug? It seems to be fixed, you can now see the queue position you are in. There are also barely any queues, even in T1.

Have they merged any empty servers yet?

No.

Are there more objectives other than capping outside and inside keeps for ppt?

They added bloodlust to the borderlands, basically like spvp cap circles x 5 and replaced the old orb mechanic. You hold 3 cap circle for 2 minutes to get the ‘orb’ which give stats and ppt on stomp. It’s mostly pointless.

Nothing new in keeps but they finally fixed watergate on garrison to allow vulnerability stacks on the inner gate and to allow garrison to be contested.

Has the ppt system changed an any way at all?

Not really, except bloodlust.

Any siege changes/improvements?

They added masteries and stuff, ACs seem to have been changed a bit so they sometimes need line of sight.

Are there many active aussie guilds left?

I can probably count them all, there aren’t many.

Guilds that sorta play OCX times: HIRE, SoX, GC, NOC, MERC, TED, BEAR, TS in the top 6 servers that I know of. On FA there’s GWAM.

Any commander tag improvments?

Nope.

Any targetting improvments?

Nope.

Have they enabled the function to change the colour of the mouse cursor yet?

Nope.

When I left there was news about making new purple armours with materials. I made a purple weapon on a few characters. Did they implement this grindfest fully into WvW yet? (Before you could only grind part of the materials in WvW and had to do the rest in PvE)

Purple = legendary, no legendary armor yet.

Is Tarkus/Indevar still playing?

Yes.
