I agree OP it has been an excellent match-up. Thanks for the great fights SBI & DR not over yet but its been a very very fun last week. I think when ANET envisioned WvW it was match-ups like this, they intended. Congrats to the winner whom ever it may be One of the best weeks I have had in WvW in 2 years. Mods please don’t close this post I think the OP intended it as a positive post.
Since post patch, I run this staff build on my ele in WvW. In support of 5 man havoc teams and zergs any size. Gives decent damage with defense / water fields for zergs. Its a more general purpose build in support of dps/heals/regens. Fixed one trait selected wrong and food
On the loading screen of Frostgorge Sound you can see a Tall Ship with red dots on its square sails on the right side of the picture.
Whenever I go to FS to check out, if Jormag eventually put my pre cursor in his Claw´s lunch box, it reminds me of a Tall Ship that I have been sailing on in 2007.
I was wondering, if the artist who designed that loading screen put that vessel into it as a homage to SV Concordia, which unfortunately sank 3 years ago off the coast of Brazil.
The red dots on the square sails are quite distinctive for a sailing vessel and the SV Concordia had big red acorn leaves on hers.
I also found a picture of SV Concordia that looks just like on the loading screen:
FYI The Big Red dots are Red Maple Leafs not acorn leafs ROFL the SV Concordia was based out of Lunenburg Nova Scotia, Canada used as a sail training ship for West Island College. The Red Maple Leaf is a symbol of the Canadian Flag. All the same good catch on noticing it.
1. No
2. No
3. No
4. No
5. Fix the bugs, fix the horrible loot drop rate/DR. Give better rewards for chests/events vs effort. Played over 800+hrs have had 15-20 rare drops no exotics. Fix the issues don’t create more.
why so much hate for the Jps they are fun and easy
Because the core argument in favor of jumping puzzles to date was that they were entirely optional.
Now they’re required as part of the monthly achievements for January.
It’s easy to argue that those achievements are optional, of course, but for more casual players, those achievements are one of the few ways they can keep up with the more regular players in terms of obtaining karma and tokens for forging.
Really, I’m much more bothered by the fact that Fractals is still required. It made sense being there in November, but this is January now. And Fractals was a huge part of the update that made many people quit this game. The devs should know by now that even the people who like Fractals aren’t keen on being forced to keep running it for monthly achievement points, and those who don’t like it probably don’t like being reminded about it every month.
Seriously. Don’t force players to run Fractals if they don’t want to.
I totally agree Why Fractals? Lets force players on to our gear grinding mill O.o again and oh again….
Yup sure was bad timing was in the latter part of killing Claw of Jormag and now the 1Kb 1Kb flashing retrying to connect error lol nice Oh well laugh it off I say what can you do when they fail.
I do enjoy dungeons but so far most are only doing the dungeons to grind out mats for legendary weapons. And fractals has turned into a gearmill grind no thx’s. Open world for me all the way.
@OP I can’t directly answer your question without facts but I can give you my opinion based on my personal experience. I was away from GW2 for 2 months due to work requirements and upon my return I noticed a large drop in population in the open world. Some of that decrease in active players would be expected I think but I find it disconcerting in a young game. My guild for example currently has 170 mbrs with only about 15-30 active players mostly grinding gear in dungeons. I have had to complete many events solo and had to avoid the harder ones because there is few ppl on that map to join in. I find the mid level maps the least populated and of crse Orr is very empty now. Many on my friends list have disappeared, some back to GW1 due to there disappointment in GW2 ( that’s there personal choice). So in my opinion and from my in game observations I definitively think the gaming population of current active players has dropped drastically. I sure hope ANET finds away to correct this bleeding of players because I for one only play GW2 to have fun with others in this wonderful world of Tyria they have created. Not to play it solo.
but its been a very very fun last week. I think when ANET envisioned WvW it was match-ups like this, they intended. Congrats to the winner whom ever it may be
