Guild Wars 2

Over all I like the map, but I believe the bell to be too strong in its current form. I like the idea/mechanic of the bell becoming more important as the match continues. However I find that due to is strength by the third ring that it actually hinders the desired comeback mechanic and creates a landslide mechanic. I would recommend either make it diminishing growth (i.e. instead of 25/50/75/100, make it 25/45/60/70, or 20/35/45/50) and/or base the time on when it was last captured instead of the fixed timer. The first suggestion will assist with the desired comeback mechanic since there is a greater reason for the team whith is behind to capture it. While the second will ensure the primary mechanics remain valid, especially in matches where there are prolonged battles at the bell. Right now it is possible for the bell timer to start almost immediately after a capture if it is a prolonged flight, which combined with the increasing importance make the bell the only point of importance in some matches.

I am not sure if the dynamics would be similar in a competitive/pro setup as it is in unranked, so please provide comments on these ideas if they would fall apart in those matches.

Thank you for the replay, I sent a couple of questions through in game mail.

My SO and I are looking for a friendly guild that is focused on instanced PvE (Dungeons, Fractals, Raids) but also doesn’t mind messing around with world completion, world bosses, WvW and PvP. Although we are far from dungeon/fractal experts we have been playing since Beta and can be described as somewhere between casual and semi-hardcore (depending on the day). The ideal guild would be EDT based (activities schedule to start between 7 and 8 pm), which is also a teaching and learning environment, and which members mix up their parties and do not always run with the same 5 people. Looking for a med to large guild (at least 15+ active during prime time) and English (or predominantly English). Please post here or PM if you think your guild would be a good fit for us.

Pertaining to dropped siege, even providing more info on the build tool tip would assist. I really don’t care who dropped the siege if it is the right siege at the right place. So instead of just “Build” on the tool tip, if it said “Build Superior Flame Ram” or “Build Arrow Cart” players would be able to self filter what siege they build.

This doesn’t stop the trolling or address the supply issue, but does address the issue when trolls drop siege without negatively affecting other players,

Thank you for the response Night. I am going to poke around your webpage a bit and will send you a PM if I have any other questions.

I am an experienced player (since beta with a few months break) LF for a NA PvX (mainly dungeons, open world and WvW) guild, Dragonbrand preferred but can transfer. Have played all aspects of the game but would like to learn and start running dungeons/fotm more.

*Mature – Recognizes that the game is a game and we are all here for enjoyment, not drama, and that although chat maybe PG it doesn’t have to be R all the time.

My better half and I have been playing since release but neither of us has ever been big dungeon runners. However we both would like to get into duoing dungeons but are unsure which classes would make the best duo combo and which dungeons we should start with. Eventually we would like to work our way up to some of the Arah paths. We both have 80s of most professions, are able/willing to gear out as required, and have already started researching builds and paths. The two aspects we are unsure of and I hope the dungeon community can assist with are:

1. Which two professions would compliment/synergies well for dungeons?
2. In terms of duo difficulty which paths would fit into each of these categories: beginner, intermediate, advanced and impossible/nearly impossible (i.e. Arah 1).

Thank you in advance for any recommendations and assistance.

Yeah, I don’t understand. If you open the map it shows you the number completed and total of each part along with a percent complete for both the current map and the whole world. In addition it shows each WP, PoI, SP and Vista that you’ve revealed whether completed or not so you can find them. So I don’t understand what the request is for.

same thing could be said about achievements. I am not saying it is hard to hit ‘m’ and look, just that it would a nice improvement, especially with what was introduced last patch with achievements.

The recent update that allows achievements to be selected and tracked on the UI is great for dailies, monthly, etc. However, the one other aspect I would like to be able to select to display in a similar manner is the completion status of the current map (number of hearts, WP, PoI, Skill Points, Vistas completed and remaining). This would be a nice improvement to toggle on when working on map clears and off when not (similar to the current achievements).

Thoughts/Comments?

Seriously your from SF and complaining about the jumping puzzles. SF had enough siege in the NSP Boarderland’s puzzle tonight to take a keep. It made for a fun fight but I am sure it inconvenienced more people than the map not being their colour.
