Guild Wars 2

I got the Zodiac Sword skin on the first day they were offered for BL tickets. It was bugged at that time and after the fix for the weapons rolled out mine was for some reason still not made tradeable as it should have.

I have submitted a few tickets over the months and receive no real information of any kind with the feed back emails from support. I am only looking to have it fixed or replaced with one that is working as intended. Thanks for your time.

Stat select-able would be nice.

All this talk of queues and transferring! Come to TC! I’ll pay you in RP!

(Like no queues outside NA prime time)

Just speaking for myself but, I only take issue with the clowns who have been coming on here acting like they are gods gift to WvW and making condescending remarks that are just thinly veiled troll attempts.

I don’t doubt SoR has phenomenal players and guilds, we have quite a few as well. It’s sad that a few forum warriors are creating this hatred towards the rest of the SoR population because they want to troll. Long story short, can we still be friendsies?

I just watched a SOR raid run away when they had more then us O.O

It’s probably a tactical retreat to resupply!

To be fair it actually could be.

Or it could just be sunday… or monday… or tuesday… you get the picture…

I miss blackgate. I love how they will actually stand and fight, whisper our commanders to set up fights, etc. etc.

Even SoR roamers (that rare creature) will turn tail at 75%. Very boring.

Only “good” TC roamers I’ve seen are stupid FOTM perplexity condi-spam engies + mesmers and mace shield warriors. And they normally run in parties of 5+.

Seen nothing but talent from SoS roamers. Some really unique builds, and they don’t bump their chests about their wins, or QQ when they lose. Nothing special about TC roamers :/

I’m a condition spam engi, I run solo though. I usually roam around EB. Took golanta a few times today to see if anyone would come. There was one person who came to contest but that’s it. Fought a TW warrior near the keep but he just ran to sentry for help. I even stayed and fought them both but he just ran to the tower guards instead.
It is what it is, I should’ve disengaged after he fled to the sentry but I was feeling froggy and wanted to see if I could pull it off.

ballymun.3986:

I dunno why SoS were thrown in with us though, it seems very unfair on them.

Unfair?! Umm, you are playing in a league now where everyone in that league must and will play against each other at one time or another, hello?

Also, its hilarious the amount of *kitten*hurt that is evidenced in this thread alone. Boy, you all are in for some rude thrashing by SoR this week. lol.

Please don’t PPT thrash me. Whatever would I do?

Oeps Rolls Necro.2594:

Love is the air.. haha.

WvW ppt is coverage wars.

But if you are fighting iron and you want to fight on even numbers just whisper me ingame. We can sort that out. We even can set up a gvg if you want. (even just for fun)
I already met some good SoS and TC players in EB. Had some nice 1 vs 1 fights.

Hf anyway.

We all know that but I think it’s just people getting frustrated at the fact this match is like struggling against quicksand, kitten ed either way.

Azure.8412:

Shrouded.6450:

…and I’m pretty sure you all believe you’re winning this match because of skills eh?

Nope. I already stated SoR has more numbers. Just speaking the truth that SoR’s blobs may not be as skilless as they seem. Less numbers doesn’t equal more skilful. TC and SoS should 2v1 us hard, since you guys can’t beat us 1v1 coverage and skill wise. Show us how good your small numbers are.

If SoR had small man groups to fight, I would gladly do so. Instead I get zerged down when sniping yaks or capping sentry points.

renmei.3102:

lol So it seems like TC’s forum presence is a lot less classy than they use to be, must be dem new transfers. Oh wells I feel a little less bad about this week then~

Feel bad about what?

Thanks to the FA thief with Bolt from [AL] for the duels. We need one more to tie break!

I outnumber my enemies even when I run solo….

Hello,
Marathon runner here, apparently. RE asking for the bad-mouthing guilds to put their money where their mouth is. We are available for Official GvGs, 15v15. I mean everytime we face each other, I send out official challenges via gvg.com and no one accepts. I send PMs and in-game mails and either receive no reply or some reason that the guild cannot do an “official” gvg. Then when I see said guild on the forum trying to buff their lil ego’s, its sort of hilarious. We love to fight. Other night I was running a whopping 12 of us after our prime time into a zerg of 30ish [VR], who were so proud of their accomplishment of defeating us they spam laugh after they spent the entire night running from our primetime group that had equal #s. I guess they redeemed their hurt pride.

Lol is this the even numbers you’re talking about VR running from? This is all you 2 did all night, wouldn’t stay more than 10 feet from each other.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIBd6QlvpiQ

We just didn’t want anyone to miss out on the loot bags. We here on TC live lavish lifestyles and are required to have multiple armor sets for RP purposes. We do appreciate your contributions and sincerely thank you for helping us with this debt.

Indubitably yours,
RP grandmaster Asuran engineer

We wiped you way more then you killed any of us.

Why leave out the best part of the video then!? Suspicious…..

On a serious note, people complain about blobs and who’s group was bigger and so on, but they are the same ppl running around in a blob. At peak times, everyone should have about the same numbers on a given map. Why everyone (TC too) wants to kitten about it is beyond me. It’s not like the enemy made you fight with less people than them.

The point is that both those groups were about the same size as ours or any mag group on the map. Yet, still refused to run alone and attempt to do something on their own.

Why have your own guild if you just megablob anyways? Just make 1 guild and then no one will say anything about blobing, because then you’ll just be 1 guild.

Wait, so being outnumbered by 1 huge guild is somehow better than 2 smaller ones?

So what you are saying is, you are mad because they wouldn’t “split up”? I don’t see how a pesky little thing like numbers matters for such a beast as yourself since you apparently “wiped us way more than we killed you”. Hell, if that’s true you should be here celebrating instead of moaning about how outnumbered you were.

First I said then no one will say anything about blobing. One big guild is understandable, but hiding behind other guilds from an even or weaker opponent is cowardice.

Second I never once said we wiped that group while they were together. Get any one of you alone, you’re not that tough.

Yes, alone a group of 20 will beat me. GG.

Its not a proper Dolyak parade unless we are there to attack you.

At this point its tradition and will forever tie our servers together.

The occasional tears we still get are a bonus, but a bit surprising…figuring you know this is going to happen.

May as well get a few kills while you can. No one can say TC doesn’t support welfare.

Monkish Delights.2591:

You know quantity is a quality all its own, but tc is just a lot quantity with zerg lag cuz you know their zerg is close even when you can’t see them through the lag.
On a side note tc isn’t so bag, they deliver bags to you and that’s good

You can try to take my loot bags, I don’t part with them that easily though

Allow me to sum up the rest of the thread for everyone.

“TC so sucky they just blob! We outnumbered 5 to 1 and still killed them and destroyed Dr Robotniks robot army. Then King Arthur congratulated us but that slacker Reagan stole all the credit.”

In closing I would just like to thank FA for the loots, good way to supplement my income as an RP escort in Divinitys Reach.

There was a mesmer in EB with a few kome hitting yaks at south side EB. Guild tag was EVA or something. Just wanted to say that after killing the kome, she stuck around and put up a kitten good fight. I was the purple haired Asura engineer.

She called me a chicken. I’ll kittening show her chicken.

If she is in CERN I can try. Set you guys up a nice grudge match, the victor gets chicken and waffles.

Dear CoF warrior in Ebaybl,

It’s a real shame you wouldn’t fight without your lackeys, the one time you got separated from them you ran back so fast! It was truly a sight to behold! Anyways, I was just trying to ask for a duel but you wouldn’t accept my join requests

If you find yourself in the mood for something a little more challenging feel free to pm me for a duel!

Auri El.1032:

If anyone knows the Asura Bronze(invader?) thief from Maguuma, the one with Bolt, tell him he is awesome. Best display of thief playing I have seen. /salute to you buddy.

I know an Asura thief with a Bolt, but I would have thought he was way past invader now. If it was DORP/FAQ then it’s Ho Nutha Levul, the man of many legendaries

I can’t remember the rank exactly, although I am sure he was from [DORP].

BTW I find it absurd that you can’t write kitten on here, but you can have it as the guild abbreviation.

I give up trying to edit this, you know what I am saying.

It’d be nice to have real match ups again. Getting tired of fair weathers coming out in a zerg and giving my server a bad name of running from field fights. KH thrives on field fights and hates zerging, but it’s hard to find fights when zergs steal the life from our opponents and they stop showing up.

It was nice to run into KH being split off from the CERN/TSL/PINK/whatever the hell zergs all night tonight. Props for not going full blob.

Because drp and PYRO weren’t running a big blob, oh wait….

I had to edit so much to get it to stop saying “kitten” lol

Sunreva.8714:

Auri El.1032:

Funny, I saw your little group myself. You were eager to fight the 3 of us up there while you had 5 down there. Rather than letting anyone close enough to actually make it an even fight, you and your fellows would just bum rush them.

Is that your opinion of a good fight?

Edit: I would be glad to do a 1v1, no reason to worry when we don’t have a Zerg right?

I’ve never seen an even numbered TC group voluntarily engage our group of roamers.

From my experience, when our roaming group encounters and equally matched TC group, the Tower Campers (TC) group BLOWS every cool down they have to RUN away from us, and hide in the nearest tower or keep.

I wasn’t involved in the incident that Sardine is talking about, but his screenshots clearly show his group has only 4 people (look at the squad + minimap), and your tower has at least that amount (possibly more that aren’t visible due to the walls). And yet, TC is hiding behind walls. Sigh.

Our engagements have consistently shown that most TC doesn’t appear to be interested in fair fights, and they’ll simply hide in safe zones until they get at least 3x more people.

I extend an offer to duel to you as well, and I intend to be alone, I swear

EvilSardine.9635:

Auri El.1032:

In any case, I offered a 1v1 because you made a comment about us not wanting to fight without a zerg. So, if you want a friendly duel I’d be more than happy to oblige. Worst case I have a 1s repair, best case I don’t. Either way, this is getting absurd, I should’ve shown restraint from the beginning.

The only thing that made me go out of my way to post a screenshot were the emotes to be honest. I would be more than happy to have a duel. Maybe we can even become buddies.

Send me a PM if you’re bored and wanna give it a go! See ya on the battlefield either way!

I guess my less than tasteful trolling did work in that regard at least then lol

No hard feelings I hope. And I will be sure to take you up on that when I log tomorrow

EvilSardine.9635:

Auri El.1032:

I read your post, look at your own picture and tell me there are 5 people up there. You can’t because there weren’t.

The other guy missing from the screeny is inside tower.

Like I said, this was taken after having killed all your guards. So it would have been us 4 versus 5 and guards.

toymachine.1673:

yeah.. that’s 4v2 theres 3 blue dots on the mini map

Read my post carefully again.

According to you, there were 5 of us. Pretty sure you were mistaken but I wasn’t paying it as much mind as you. Outside was your group plus one random I suppose because he wasn’t in party.

This is basically what happens 99% of the time when the zergers aren’t with their 40 other friends and the fight is even. There were a total of 5 inside and 4 of us outside.

Best part about it are the emotes.

Hats off to all TC/SoS guys who DON’T do this and give us good fights!

Read my post. It wasn’t just 3 up there. You had OS and AARM guildies in there as well. And we didn’t have 6.

You also have the safety of the tower. Just jump down an have fun. It’s just a game!

There is no crapped out situation.

CD is fine, in a great spot too. Just because some guy is QQ’ing does not make it so that we aren’t having fun.

The guy has no clue about the match either from his pointing out the numbers.

I would call his estimations better than yours have been at any point in this thread.

I like how a select few are bragging about killing TC fair weather players. Not really brag worthy IMO.

Maybe you should challenge an actual guild group and earn some bragging rights.

I don’t mean this negatively and am not trying to be an elitist. You would be better served using the forge at this point. Don’t give your money to the exploiters. I made dawn last week after over 200 swords in. May as well try your luck, the prices aren’t going down anytime soon I promise that.

I’m not saying anyone is “entitled” to have a pre, there are simply those who got one and those who didn’t. If you don’t like the group you are in, do something about it.

I think that people are investing their time on the forum as part of the democratic process to influence Arenanet to change the game-mechanics. I understand that some people aren’t aware of it in this context, but this is the, “doing something about it”, that you refer to.

So, because you think the prices are too high and gambling the forge is too low a chance, it should be changed? I understand the why but have you thought about the fact that NOT EVERYONE WAS SUPPOSED TO GET ONE. It seems to me that many people are under the impression I am wrong in this.

Well speaking as someone who has one.
Twilight…

I can tell you my quest / work to getting said legendary was nothing legendary.
I think precursors should be more something you work for more so then something u give up gambling RNG for and then eventually have to fight inflation on the price of said precursor at the TP.

I can tell you right now.. if i had to get my materials NOW and not 3 weeks ago, i dont think i could of afforded my twilight.

Infact a lot of my friends who had twilight back in december even tell me, if they had to pay what i paid for my twilight, they wouldn’t be able to afford it now.
Lemme One up that comment and say, my other friend paid LESS for twilight + Sunrise, then what i did for JUST TWILIGHT.

So is this truly fair?
The ever so grind to get a said legendary continually rises so new adopters can only dream and droll over a guy who happens to pass by them with several precursors only because that guy was lucky to adopt them early.

Now how fair is that?
Continuously raising the requirements of getting a legendary.
(again Anet’s response.. its player based / controlled…)
Well Why are legendaries even Player Based / Controlled to begin with?

So please go take your legendary elitism elsewhere.
Most of the later legendary adopters will even agree with me on how much of a pain it was to get a legendary NOW then it was back in november / december.

The system right now IS TOTALLY NOT BALANCED for the new people, and only makes them want to quit.
Instead a legendary should make them want to stay and grind.

But when one spends gods knows how much gold at the MF, and then finally gives up.. heads to the Trade posts… OMGWTFBBQ 600-700g for just dusk.

Again… tell me how fair that is?

I didn’t say it was fair. Coming from someone who has Dawn not Sunrise, I can say that it is a royal pain to try and make now because costs are much higher. Don’t assume I am an elitist just because I am making the " unpopular" argument.

SteepledHat.1345:

Lmao, 140g and 400g. Yeah, reasonable prices. Just stop it. You simply want your items to remain exclusive. Admit it and save some face.

They are reasonable if people still are willing to pay it right?

Now we’re getting to the point I made in THIS thread that the wrong people have already got the legendaries and in THIS thread that we need new Mythical Weapons to replace them as the most desirable weapons in the game.

What gives you the authority to say the wrong people have them? I have one because I got lucky in the forge and did the grind like many others. I don’t like the gouging of prices or exploiters anymore than you, which is why I decided to not give my gold to them and use the forge. It’s unfortunate that the exploiters have tarnished the legendary items status but I would bet that there are many players who got theirs legitimately. Also, I agree that some new skins would be nice. I don’t see that solving the problem unless anet makes them unable to be sold on TP.

The other gifts aren’t that hard so this holds little weight IMO. Anet needs to tread carefully dealing with this. They make them a hand out and all the people who got one prior will feel cheated, if it stays as it is people will continue to rage quit. I think everyone needs to remember that it is MEANT to be exclusive

Regarding your “hand out” comment, my problem with this is that the wrong people have already got the legendaries. They are demeaned. Okay, now that might seem a little inflammatory, but frankly, it’s the truth. Get over it.

just because you throw some swords in the forge doesn’t mean you are entitled.

Exactly! Why should you be able to acquire something by flushing all that you’ve achieved down the Mystic Toilet when others are incidentally deigned worthy (“entitled”, as you put it) by the RNG? But enough about the randomness! Onward, to the positive conclusion!

I’m going over old ground now, but here it is anyway:
Legendaries should have been tied to the Achievement system (even if it means “grinding” of a sorts), not market speculation and grinding for gold. Fix this, and you can stick a fork in it!

If you feel the gamble is too much you could simply buy it. Supply and demand dictate prices, if Dawn was 200g do you think it would last long? The point when you are not willing to pay the price for a precursor on TP is the point where you should start using the forge. I’m not saying anyone is “entitled” to have a pre, there are simply those who got one and those who didn’t. If you don’t like the group you are in, do something about it. Not everyone who has precursors are exploiters, many worked their kitten off to buy their weapon of choice.

Make Lengendaries easier to obtain, and you can replace all those “Precursors are too difficult to obtain” threads with and equal number of “Precursors are too easy to obtain” threads. If you guys really everyone and their dog to have one (hyperbole…calm down), then let’s change them from Legendary to Ubiquitous and just have players select the one they want during character creation.

…why do people keep spewing this utter and complete bullkitten?

Please tell me: If you get the precursor as a lucky drop from the MF, does that suddenly mean that you have a legendary? Or do you still need three more gifts?

The other gifts aren’t that hard so this holds little weight IMO. Anet needs to tread carefully dealing with this.

Legendary weapons aren’t required to play the game. It’s very desirable which is why they cost a lot of gold. If you don’t want to spend money then you can farm yourself. The ability to buy things for a legend on TP is more a convenience than anything, it enables those who are impatient or otherwise to get what they want by doing what they want when they play.

Don’t be discouraged, MF does actually give precursors. I got Dawn using lvl 80 rares, only took about 300 swords I think. Was too excited to screen it sorry
