Guild Wars 2

I am having the same problem as well. Played the game early this morning and played meta events until update without any problems. After the updated I started to crash. Had to redo the first part of the new story three times before I could get it because it constantly kicked me out. Finally got it. Went through the map had no issues or any crashes. Decided to try to finish the final chapter of a crack in the ice, I crash when trying to fight the final boss of that. This issue is starting to drive me away from the game by preventing me from completing story instances I cant even finish the story and get the rewards and mastery points to earn rewards. This problem didnt start persisting until Crack in the Ice and it is really disappointing that the same issue comes back every chapter now.

Sadly most of the people who get into the beta will just use it as bragging rights that they get to play revenant before others while those who dont get into beta are mad because they are self entitled and think they should get into anything Anet does for the game because they think they are awesome or something. After this event is over most of us sane people, in beta or not, will just sit in our chairs, and watch a live stream of it while reading and laughing at forum posts made by the moronic self entitled ones.

Go play a few Korean mmos then defend your topic post after that. Actually go play Aeria Games Aura Kingdom for a week and then come back complaining about GW2s rng.

Not white knighting Anets idea of how to issue beta but its either release beta keys through the news letter again and make their players that didnt make it complain on their forums even more because they think they should be entitled to do anything the cool kids are doing, or release the beta through the same method on top of that give people a chance to enter beta through playing their game using an experimental method of an item drop and give everyone a double chance of entering it.

I farmed the key for six days and even stayed up 43 hours straight at one point taking a break only to eat and use the restroom those two days. I didn’t get a single key but hey I did manage to make a decent amount of gold out of it which I used to buy a few black lion skins.

Truth be told (even though I have not gotten this far in the LS due to long hiatus but seen the videos) I would actually like to see more content like this but instead of you playing another character you can have an option to become a villain. I know me and a lot of other players would love to play on the side of Inquest, bandits, Aetherblades, Nightmare Court, Separatists, other darker side paths and even dragon minions or an effing Dragon Champion.

I would love to see more content like this added to the game heck even add dark factions to the living game world. Would give a lot of us more a reason to buy more character slots to have good and evil versions of our class roles.

Id say just be glad we get a new map. And that map is expanding based on the story you are doing. The more the story progresses, the more the map expands and upgrades to a more full map. Also we have a whole region the whole season in which we will get one or two new permanent dungeons, something we haven’t seen since fractals (not gonna count aether path). The story so far is ok and a lot more explanatory than most of the stuff in season one, adds more stuff for lore fans like myself to put together and thorize and even discuss on the forums, and we have not seen many new maps in season one. This is all pretty much an upgrade from ls season one in my opinion. Though I do have my look on downsides,
1. not alot of cheevos as we had in season one content.
2. Anet could have allowed the season chapters reward like a daily with some geodes and a lockpick and a champ box to make them enjoyable enough to replay.
3. Needs more Kormir.

Besides those I am practically ok with the way season 2 started. It could be worse, they could have just added the extra area to brisban wilds, made us go back to areas we been to over and over again in the world map to figure out more about scarlet because at this point your character is still not over scarlet, add 20 more achivements, and said “here is your content. wait for more in two weeks. Same Kormir time same Kormir channel. Also player character is a loser.” and been done with it. I say be glad we are getting an expanded map instead of just running around lornars pass or playing CSI Labrinthine Cliffs without any idea if the ship of zehpyrites are still alive or not.

That won’t help WvW a bit as long as EotM badge’s rewards remains the obscenity that it’s today. Actually, it’d make things worse because of the players leaving regular WvW to go to EotM to get their badges for their awesome unique WvW armors.

Then you have not seen most WvW players then. Since alot of us have around 80k in badges in our wallets just by doing normal WvW. Before the wallets and EotM, i remember having three bank slots filled with badges before just dumping them into armor for my alts. EotM is just a little bit more faster depending on the instance and color you are since blue is mostly filled with angry srs bzns people while red is has just became a bag farm. Though if you are green you just bathe in badges thats if you are serious about farming EotM all day. Also consider that there are different commanders every three hours and you will more than likely get a different commander than what you had the last cycle so you may have a farming commander one cycle and a commander in training another one. Getting those farms are more luck based during the week in EotM than in normal WvW. I was doing great on EotM last week due to being on green but this week avoid it because every match I have been in in blue has just been either bad commanders or commanders that just get three objectives and runs back to their end at the sight of something on our end being capped while everyone cusses them out for being dumb or leaves.

Would love to see this happen.

As a vet in WvW since beta, I see EotM more as a casual WvW rather than a hardcore “we need to win this crap” WvW as well as a waiting room and a first step for new players to get used to some of the mechanics of WvW.

Which I agree the Queensdale toxicity if moving over to EotM, I can see why the rewards are alot better than your typical WvW map. Since if they took out the rewards, EotM would probably be desolate and just filled with people waiting to get into the main WvW map and just be the WvW version of lions arch. EotM is a place where you can be low level, low skilled, or both and still be somewhat rewarded nicely to help you out with your builds and other things. I also see it as a nice rewarding process for other players for helping said newer and lower level players.

I for one mainly use EotM to theory craft new supportive builds for WvW like my cleric builded Ele and I like the karma train since it pulls out the serious player groups in which i can just lul as I out heal thief backstabs as well as lul ontop of a gate getting pelted with ACs just to have the enemy realise the people at the gate are not dieing because my benevolence stack has been fed to max and I am busting out 1k water blasts hoping they throw more AC on me to at least get me down below 90% of my hp. Soon I am gonna get my engi and from WvW damage spec, turn him into a supportive engineer for WvW.

Also EotM is more just easy mode WvW than the actual maps. Since think about it, you have the three servers of tier one and every server below that the same color. So if you are in a really low tier you are basically just asking JQ, TC, and BG to hold your hand and make you feel like a winner where your server is performing horribly in WvW. If EotM was more like WvW then every single thing in the map would be sieged and just be a big fat zerg fest with hammer trains and people with ACs strapped to their back ready to build them in the middle of the field like a group of Amish workers having a good day to win most of the zerg fights. At least EotM right now lets my Charr Warrior feel like FF VI’s Gilgamesh on the large bridge taking out 2-3 people while blairing battle at big bridge. If you want to have hardcore WvW go play WvW if you want to just mess around and get some kind of reward in the process go EotM is how I see it and like it the way it is.

Also At OP think of the rewards as extra motivation for people to do better in the maps. Run around cap stuff, everyone gets rewarded, morale and confidence gets built, people respect your orders and follow you more, and you get stuff done. Try using the rewards to your advantage rather than think of it as a hinderance. Even greed can provide strength to the weak in terms of motivation and morale.

Ofcourse that is my opinion I could be wrong. (+1 metaphorical gold if you can guess this line of which comedian)

My only complaint is that cosmic orbs are not a gambit. I would have love to challenge subject 7 with those on.

1) Ranger – Needed a couple of buffs so all skill levels can play them and both bows need a slight fix to fit their ranged role and simplify the micro management of pets. Pet AI needs to be marjorly fixed as well as an option to not use the pet at all with a sort of stat buff mechanic or something to compensate the lack of pet as many have suggested.

2)Elementalist – Overnerfed in alot of aspects, need a slight buff in survivability, more roleability for parties besides glass cannon MS/Thor smacker.

3)Necro – Traits need a better fix, minions need to have alittle more survivability to give us a reason to use them, more damage liable rather than reliant on conditions, DS needs some tweaks.

Dont see the problem since you can atm make 6 rank 5 toon pretty quickly. Now after WvW ranks combine then it will be a problem for the lazy.

Also the amount of gold you waste depending on your luck equals that the amount of a legendary so you can just buy it probably for alot more cheaper than making it.

Ill explain the reason.
One Majory wasnt introduced until around queens jubilee so she doesnt know anything about the events before dragon bash only that a council member was assassinated and only way to know about the dragon bash stuff was from Kiels reports which was probably hard to get in which only the order of whispers could whisk away and hand to the priory.

Two while the players have an idea on what scarlet is up to you have to remember these are characters in the story they wouldnt be able to figure everything out or go on crazy elaborations and theories while a crazy madwomen hearing voices is running around killing and destroying crap for her little experiments since up until now everything she has seemed to be doing was just rallying alliances and an army while experimenting with new toys for her own sick pleasure.

Three the laylines were hinted but not mentioned except by a picture in scarlets lair on her projector and without the research the characters wouldnt have known. Also an anet dev gave us the story about scarlets past in the device that made her the way she is which was also not known until getting the said items to research.

Four the whole reason to figure out the plot was for the newer players to get caught up in the past events of the Living Story.

Five Cheetos are awesome.

Six more of Majorys backstory.

Seven the captains council is known to have an ego and known to stick their noses up at the bigger pictures and keep to themselves for greed sake. Even though both Evon and Ellen know about whats gonna happen neither can do anything because Evon isnt on the council and Ellen has to go by the laws and have the motion carried by vote which failed.

think about it like this. EotM was made with some ideas and mechanics hashed from the original WvW borderlands and EB for the launch as well as new ideas. If everyone sticks more in EotM than in the normal WvW maps that would promote that the new maps could be implemented for the recreation of the BL maps in WvW. I would love to run into an new Red BL and cap places where the Grawl guards would be replaced by my blue side Kodans as well as other mechanics that would be interesting.

I think they are just ticked off that in the first 2 of 4 content releases of the year they feel they cannot do because they cannot face roll it and play it by themselves.

Best way to solve your little problem, Stick to your zerg or ask your guild to help you out and group up in the mists. Also you dont have to worry about being griefed since you are not only with your server and fighting your rival server but you are fighting with other servers against other servers of the same colors. And Anet said you still have marionette to play with if you dont like WvW.

Pretty much after monday the whole boss event will be ignored and we can all read everyone complaining about WvW Edge of the mists. Personally I would prefered Wurm being temporary because he wouldn’t be missed and keep marionette since the Megamaid from Spaceballs is a lot more doable by most servers than a three headed clustercuss that only two servers with the highest populations could beat and will be ignored by every other server after edge of the mists comes out. But after the Wurm gets beaten more and more by said servers, it will get to the point where everyone can do it.

Reason for that is when the Marionette event starts Taimi jumps into her golem to pilot it. And the golem opens up to reveal the kittenpit. I think the elite skill needs an animation for asura jumping inside their golems as well as a custom model golem or something to pilot for their elite skill as well.

I have had this happen and the main way to fix this is to get knocked down or get downed and revive. this bug happens when you pick up something like the repair wrench and drop it like you would do a kit item.

I am sure gonna miss the matchups thread after its gone in this forum. Great reads.

I have the same problem happen to me. XD

Its not the dungeon in general that is hard its just pugs that are bad for content like this. Though this is a common problem for every mmo game. Because everyone doesnt want to coordinate, there are usually trolls in the pug group, some people have never been able to learn dungeon because they either get booted from group or leader of group rage quits, elitests in the group that want everything to go their way and having the “I dont want to carry people or teach dungeon to noobs” Mentality, as well as other common problems.

I have been having problems all week doing this dungeon because either guilds been lazy, get kicked out of pug that I am in, or whole group rage quits and stuck another 10 minutes trying to find a group that doesnt require me to be experienced. Farthest I get is to S&S we whipe 10 times and group falls apart. When I post a group I sit there waiting for 30 minutes to an hour because I have “want to learn” in the description. I am sorry for being honest but I think the hardest thing is this dungeon is finding a group to even remotely finish this especially if you are in a WvW only guild where everyone is wanting to farm their WvW ranks for the poorly planned league and the other three you are in are ghost towns all filled with people who whine about it being too hard.

I love content like this and hate the fact that other people are doing more to keep me from trying to enjoy it rather than the dungeons mechanics doing the job. Its also the “CONTENT IS TOO HARD” Mentality that kills the whole game in general.

Wow pretty dead here. :V

Empty servers equal people are guesting more or less to the bigger ones who have defeated him and keep doing it. While others have just given up. I am sure he will get nerfed after the whole event is over when everyone does the next new thing like the karka queen. Or when anet removes timers from world bosses.

Its an interesting idea but I think make the mini 25 tokens and the ascendeds 75 to make it worth while but at the rate of wins 10 tokens for mini and 25 for the ascendeds.
But there will be some dedicated boss killer guilds that will be made for this sort of boss so in my opinion after the other bosses get the same boost they will not die and will be redone a lot multiple times for months to come. Also with every update for bosses, other world bosses get an update to stuff they give so you could probably expect Teq to get updated rewards as well as probably dumbed down later on down the road the less he is defeated just like how they nerfed karka queen after her stuff was done.

Best topic ever.

Fantasy can have technology in it and still be fantasy. Fantasy does not equal Medieval only. The fantasy in GW2 is based around games like the Tales Series with magitechnology with use of golems and weaponry powered by mana. Everything doesn’t have to be from a Tolkien book to be considered fantasy.

Dat blew my freaking mind. 8U
Didnt know she was voiced by her. XD

It is Forquath the undauntulant tree squabble that was found by scarlet and bred as a hideous chub baby that will one day be the next Dragon in which upon reaching full power will one day be the one to come to treahernes house and kick him in his kitten to the point where he will then don the mask of the main character snatcher and lead a failing war to kill it where while everyone is fighting he is beating his head against the nearest wall chanting “this will not end well” until us the main players come in and kick it in its kitten and he comes in at the last second and dies of the lame. Then everyone will forget we had anything to do with it and he will take all the credit as the sacrificial cheese wedge harbringer of justice and renowned hero to all and his story will be mentioned at all the Charrmart produce stands.

Ellen Kiel is the best villain because she brought the useless white knight sidekick out of everyone (even the ones that didn’t vote for her because we were also assumed for voting for her). :>

It will return probably the middle of the month again like it did last year with same stuff so new players can get stuff they couldn’t get from last years. Maybe add the skins up for grabs for BLTC weapon tickets. And CORN lots of freaking CORN!

I agree with this!
Most intelligent suggestion in this sub-forum.

I got there at last second and happy to see my home server kick the dragon back into the water. X)

Faren cannot die because he is the best sidekick character in the hume storyline.

Rather farm out on multiple maps with any class than use warrior or mesmer on repeat in small insignificant 5 man groups all day until my eyes bleed.

I have recently left a large PvX guild (not gonna mention the name) and looking for a new guild. What am I looking for?

-Medium to large guild
-PvX (like to do everything in gw2 but ok with just PvE stuff since I have guilds for WvW)
-Moderate representation (I am in some WvW guilds as well as roleplay with a few friends)
-Frequent dungeons – love to run dungeons and would love to get Arah out of the way to get my dungeon master title.
-guild missions – I like doing them and I did them a lot in old guild.
-High activity – like to talk with people about events, game updates, etc.

I have seen a lot of guilds in this server but rather than asking around in map thought I would give the forums a shot. I am very active, have alot of toons to do anything in game and guild event, as well as have a lot of knowledge with everything in game from PvE to WvW I just don’t spvp much.

Feel free to private message my game name, or whisper my toons, Stompop, Sheeva Skullkeeper, or Nips Mckinsey. I am usuall on Stompop alot.

Instead of thanking me for voting for her (which I didnt) she should be sending me a new airship since she blew up the one I was gonna steal to cover up her trail for her connection with the Aetherblade Pirates. :V

I am going for Gnashblade. Kiel blew up my freaking airship I was gonna steal from the Aetherblades. >:C

I just find it funny and odd that on July 26th with Anet released the update on polls it read as:
“Early exit polls show that currently Ellen Kiel leads with 52%, while Evon Gnashblade has 48% of the support out of 2,402,278 tokens cast. "

Then after August 2nd the polls read on he facebook forum as:

“Exit polls show that Ellen Kiel is still in the lead with 52%, while Evon Gnashblade has 48% of the support out of 9,575,484 tokens cast.”

Idc who wins. Just funny to watch the fireworks of the debates. XP

I can show sympathy for those who want to complete those meta cheevos. They can be annoying on a bad day in WvW especially with the matchups the way they are going. I know I had to hop in and out of OS and wait for a small group of people or a mesmer portal announcement before getting the Cache from the sky pirates lines. The OS Kite I got by using the stealth wells around the place and then grouping up with some people to take out some numbers in the arena by pulling the enemies off the ledges with pulls used by mesmers, necros, and thieves, kill them off, and then destroy the other servers mesmers to portal other up and get the kite. While the best way to get stuff is to wait for mesmers or travel in group, Anet is kinda going the wrong way with the LS cheevos by putting them into OS to get people into WvW and assume they would enjoy WvW by doing that. I agree with most on the kites in the camps idea or place the objective in some key spot like the ogres or hylek camps or even the dredge mine. Or even in the empty fields on all the sides of SM.

Anet has already lowered loot and drops at one point in WvW. It ended with really bad results and hinders legend hunters. And your ideas are flawed since this will not stop zergs in any way positive. It will stop the zergs but mainly because people would get tired of not getting anything and quit WvW. Also zergs are mainly to cap everything with farming a distant second since drops in WvW are pretty subpar as compared to PvE and Dungeon farming. Farming is commonly done when map is fully capped and the winning server has nothing better to do. If you want to split off from the zerg, get some friends and just run around capping camps if that is what you are into play style wise.
Also even if it did reward the lower number, there will still be zergs to kill the smaller groups off and move on to the next objective.

This person has been doing this between the TC keep and Stonemist. Someone mentioned on map that she is using [Infiltrator’s Arrow] to bypass the walls/gates or something. I think this might be possible since she has been hopping up behind while I was on cannon watching her in which she would just stealth and then watch her loop around from middle of East SM and run up after me wasting a thieves guild and kill a sentry in the keep, and then stealth again and pop up back on the road towards TCs keep. I did manage to kill her and throw her off guard a couple of times. And she would come back, haze people on the road between TC keep and SM, and then appear in SM. This bug really needs to be fixed since if a lot of thieves knew how to do said trick, they could take keeps and sm easily.

Dang not three days and Ebay already has the tin foil hats put on and calling hacks.

Those were some great fights in EB when DB nabbed SMC from us. Made it worth the fight getting it back with a ninja at the end while you guys were busy playing with Ebay in the courtyard.

Halo.8976:

Speaking of the individuals, SoS minion necro commander:

Lul at this. Only thing I do with my necro minion wise is use flesh golem and yell TOASTY! every time I use his tackle skill on a group of enemies. XD

Halo.8976:

Managing JP macro is not an easy task. Good thing we have a great leader with us.

This is why I love you guys. Keeping the JP at bay so we can actually have people fight in the actual map and hunting those Living story event farmers and chest grabbers into oblivion. <3

Every time I hear someone whining about not being able to do the EB JP in map chat in LA or on the EB map, it brings a big smile to my face. >:)

dazed.4152:

If you’re role playing an exploiter, are you really exploiting?

I think roleplayers call that god modeing/modding. :V

Fun fights for past hour with Maguuma in the TCBL really dont know what happed to SoS after my counter camp group left garrison. Really love fighting you guys especially when we do the chase game to kill some time running around the map. You guys might not have numbers but sure know how to at least give an interesting fight with a positive attitude towards the matchup that in which other lower tiered servers should practice. I hope to have more fights with you guys over the week in both EB and TCBL. Thanks for a good first day back from commander vacation Maguuma <3.

For my necro I use focus/dagger and staff with traits directed at wells and marks (30/30/10/0/0 traiting) While rotating power is wells and instant conditions/buffs like blood is power with the flesh golem as elite and speed signet for that zerg keep up and map running if getting to zerg. Pretty much build I used is based around back to front line condition and damage with enough skills to toss up at the walls of towers and keeps.

FA usually fights us in zergs with 3 times the number during prime time like the FA 100 vs TC 40 something man zerg fights. While I could say something opposing for SoS in this arguement, I will instead let my necromancy do the talking on the battlefield.

I remember getting a lot of siege out of jump puzzle with 6 of my toons to hand to commanders, earn some portal tips from generous members for the ports to buy more siege, and even hitting that ori node to hock on the BLTC to get some silver for guess what? More siege. Though it was annoying seeing people using the JP for the ever time wasting legendary quest and hearing them complain for hours on how no mesmer in jp is wasting their time and how farming BoHs the normal way are a waste of time.

I am neutral with the changes for the EB puzzle. It helps out by making sure more people are out doing the good fight rather than holding much needed que spots. But on the other hand causes the mass of us commanders to farm gold for siege at times.

But the other option for farming badges by chest was usually pvzerging the giant grub or wood spirit mini bosses on map for siege and badge chests (unless that was changed to account only as well). But I agree that WvW should be for everyone so if people want to pve some grub boss, let them do it, they are farming your siege for your cause. 8U

Of course thats just my opinion, I could be wrong.

I think traps are an interesting addition to WvW means more for smaller camp raid groups and title them to saboteurs rather than just camp flippers. Take camp, lay out a few traps in enemies zerg path, lul at hill top as they just reflipped camp and just lost supply. Stealth scouts will have more a use than just following enemy zerg around and give them an option to do more than die and refind zerg.

Heck if you are losing in WvW at least have fun by messing around with the winning server. For defending towers and keeps lay traps by walls and gates.

Things like these adds more intelligent decisions to single players and 5 man groups rather than running around with a giant ego to prove another servers grouped ego is the weaker ego on the map. And by Ego I mean Zerg.
