Guild Wars 2

Posted in Players Helping Players but reposting here as well.

I’m looking for an artist willing to draw, and hopefully digitize or convert it to a digital image, my main character that I play in color please. Brief background, she’s a Mesmer and she has 2 looks (good and evil) so I’m imagining either both characters side by side or next to each other or I can see 1 body with half being her good side and the other half being evil.

If you are interested then here is the Imgur link to her album.

Some preferences:
Bolt is my favorite weapon so please include it in some form along with the lightning effects if possible.

If it’s difficult to see because if shading the back pack for her dark look is Chaos of Lyssa
Included is an example sketch someone from Reddit made for me of a half and half look and I love it, but it doesn’t have the Bolt effects and I’m just trying to gather as many as possible and then pick my favorite to use. I will eventually be using this as a logo for my twitch and YouTube channel that I’m setting up and I will credit the artist in every use don’t worry.

Thank you in advance

Nice one Expandas! +1

How do you guys think a ROLE SPECIFIC matchmaking queue would work? To be clear you have to select roles that you are WILLING AND ABLE to play (DPS, Support, Roamer) and each team is then comprised of 3 DPS, 1 Support, 1 Roamer and it tells you what role you “won” after the acceptance and before the map selection. Then from that you can swap toons or whatever in pre-match and it has a symbol next to your name on the scoreboard FOR YOUR TEAM’S EYES ONLY showing what role you agreed to fill. That was the whole “profession stacking” argument may be changed and rather shifts people discussion which roles are needed/most important.

Essentially this could act like the classic MMO Dungeon LFG tool where you sign up as Tank, Healer, or DPS and then it queues you for that role and fits you onto a team accordingly.

Understand, this will likely cause longer queue times for certain roles (most likely DPS), but I think it may be a step in the balancing direction for the PvP system.

EDIT: I understand people can simply lie in their role selection, but that is something we just have to trust each other on and is why I think showing your team who is doing what is a good idea.

EDIT 2: Another possibility is 4 roles: 2 DPS, Support, Roamer, Brawler (Tankier class that specializes in 2v1s or holding their own but is somewhat selfish’ think Warrior)

I don’t believe it should’ve been included from the start. From someone who plays PvP every day I’m in game, it’s stupid that we could even get ascended or legendary things in PvP. Stats do not matter there. They matter in PvE and WvW. We should get them there. PvP could’ve made new skins to buy, that’s fair. The wings of ascension SKIN. Not a legendary backpack. It’s kind of stupid imo, but oh well. People will always complain. “Too easy” “Too hard” “Too much” “Not enough”

Use them as currency for ascended :O since every other game mode gets a way to receive ascended consistently and WvW is arguable the phase that could utilize it the most. Except fractals

I skimmed the thread so idk if someone mentioned this, but maybe force it so the claimed guild must have a member of high enough rank approve the use of tactivators. If there are none in WvW at the time then a commander with more than 10 players in squad must approve, if that isn’t available then there likely isn’t enough people to defend on that map and it’s a pointless thing to worry about.

Rekz, Agg, RG are the only ones in my opinion. The rest may be good, but none are excellent or legendary

Warriors have NO ROOM to complain about sustain…you can pick up the meta build and face roll to victory due to the insane sustainability with warriors

You are ALL forgetting that there is a weekly receivable limit of 500g….

I think if they were channeled in a fashion where we could move while using them, then yes

Everyone complains about how EASY getting ascended is in PvP, but really it shouldn’t be possible…how does PvP, with normalized stats get an ascended reward system, when WvW doesn’t have one. WvW actually benefits from ascended armor! PvP players have no need for it. It’s really odd.

Strait Outta Kryta is recruiting active WvW members. We are a friendly and helpful guild that takes pride in balancing a relaxed, enjoyable feel with performing well on the battlefield. We have been together for 3.5 years, the first year and a half under a different name (Borlis Savers [BS]) and on Maguuma for a while now.

We do not require builds, but we do recommend builds and we have a forum site that lists multiple builds for each class varying on playstyle. Well over 10- active members and we all love to have a great time and joke around in guild chat and on the Maguuma team speak or our own private one.

Want more information? Send me a mail in game and I will gladly discuss any information!

Any possibility of the Celestial Amulet ever coming back? It’s the only Amulet that made us viable in 1v1 situations as well as group situations, consistently and against good players.

Can they at least make it so your server is not Red Team twice in a row? That is some punishment.

Win match ups and play better. Change the outcome yourselves.

jamesdolla.3954:

the poll was a joke. Of course they didn’t put up an option to get rid of the map. Anet does not want to admit their mistakes.

Oh, they didn’t gave an option to get rid of the map? Then what was that poll here?

McKenna Berdrow.2759:

The poll has ended! After removing all votes for “Don’t Count My Vote” the final results are:

65.5% No: The Desert Borderland map should continue to be supported.
34.5% Yes: The Desert Borderland map should be permanently disabled.

This means that the Desert Borderlands map will continue to be supported. Next, the Mixed Borderlands poll will be re-run to determine how the Desert Borderlands map will re-enter play. Thank you to everyone who voted!

Keep denying it. There was a chance of voting against it and yall lost. Now you’ll have to live with it.

Question for you, do you update your WvW rank in your signature every time you rank up or is it a weekly/monthly/annually deal? Seems like a lot of work

I want them to make your extra wxp rank points the currency. Most WvW players have hundreds, if not thousands of extra wxp rank points that are useless…

Mag doesn’t like this cuz,

No blood lust

Super hard to get around

No one goes to them but ppters

The server that has the red BL is put at a disadvantage

every keep can be glitched into

Do us all a favor and get rid of them. thx

Fixed that for ya.

the activity levels are super low on red bl’s in all tiers from eu to NA. might as well have an underwater map.

What is wrong with you, don’t give them any ideas, I can see it now " we distinctly remember our players asking for an underwater map for WvW ".

I would love an underwater map honestly. Wish they never got rid of the underwater PvP map. Submarines for siege and underwater keeps. Hell yeah!

Sulla stop being mean. You were one of us not too long ago #MagSwag

Soooo can we finally agree that being targeted by the Jade Maw laser while downed is a terrible idea and needs to be changed?

I’ve deleted my previous post and updated with this one.

I am now attempting to craft Nevermore, which requires a looooot of wood. So if anyone would be so kind as to donate Elder, Ancient, Hard, or Soft wood it would be much appreciated!

Also included is needing 35 spiritwood planks just to get past the 1st collection. Basically I’m in the market for anything that works towards Nevermore!

Thank you guys and girls!

I’ve been enjoying my Tempest in PvP so much that I am now motivated to craft ascended armor for it and use it for fractals, WvW, And PvE. My question is this: Is it still worth it to craft celestial armor for elementalists?

Sometimes I might want to go backline staff in wvw, sometimes aura mancer with some heals, also in fracs is the little extra heal worth it? Someone recommended to me that I should make zerker armor and then shift my trinket stats around for situations. Such as valk/zerk for backline wvw, soldier/cleric for aura mancer, zerk for fracs and PvE.

I’m talking best class for zerging, roaming, scouting, soloing camps, and running away from enemies to avoid fights when I feel like it.

It seems like warrior would be the best class to use whenever I’m in the mood for any of these things. What do you guys think?

Of course this is all opinion based stuff, but here are my favorites for each of those.

Zerging
Staff ele running marauder/zerk or celestial.

Roaming
Dagger/Warhorn elementalist (build link is in my signature)

Scouting
Pretty much anything with passive movement speed, I scout while I roam and I roam on my Elementalist. I guess if all you wanted to do was scout, I would say a thief, warrior or Revenant would be best for this.

Soloing camps
Any class can solo a camp with the right builds. I personally like my Guardian and Roaming Elementalist the most for the camp soloing. Guardian can do the GS pull then drop traps to just destroy a camp in seconds. Necromancer is also very good at soloing camps, just pull the mobs behind a wall or something to LOS them then drop wells on them.

Running away from enemies
Thief, mesmer, engineer, ranger, warrior, revenant all pretty good at running away from enemies. I run Fiery Greatsword on my Elementalist so that if it gets too bad and it looks like there is no good way to win or if a zerg is coming, I can just drop that and get out.

Over all, the skill cap is a bit higher on Elementalist than Warrior – but both are pretty good choices for all of the above short of Zerging. Playing backline in zergs is much easier than front line.

Asphy you’re dumb jk bae love you

What does kitten mean on these forums. I see it in every thread and I’m so confused…

So does anyone know if this is an exploit. I got into multiple instances where someone just jumped and I had no choice but to get yanked with them. I don’t want to be banned but I did enjoy how fast I could pick up relics

I asked in map chat and people said yes to this. I haven’t experienced it but I’d assume yes for now

Is there any guide out there to help with the Dark Harvest collection? I’m struggling with some pieces of it and how to get them.

It will always spawn mossman if you activate the mote and I find the bosses to be random. I get moss and bloom ~50%

Nope. There’s no vendor for that

Okay so maybe me and my buddies just suck but we are really struggling with this one.

We rush in and kill the tentacles ASAP and then in that scramble right after they die we usually lose about 30 seconds getting settled in that usual corner and getting some crystals to us so we miss probably 2 or 3 hits on the Maw. Is a perfect, no-miss run needed to kill that idiot in 5 minutes or less?

Worth adding to my previous post that I have every graphics setting on the lowest possible.

I have never had generic lag issues before with the Mac Beta, which has been in Beta for years and should probably get stabilized soon. But since HoT dropped, I have experienced lag in places that aren’t even the new areas and it’s crazy lag. Not just skill lag. I will have 2 second delays from when I click an infusion and drop it into a slot before it actually goes. The other day I was able to put a sigil, and 2 infusions on a staff before they actually applied and I watched them as the slowly delayed into the weapon. It’s becoming somewhat game breaking because I die way too easily in PvP or fractals due to my lack of reaction time. I haven’t even attempted WvW because I’m scared of the dirty things that lag + enemies will do to my body.
