Guild Wars 2

It happened to me once (and only once).

Around early. feb. I was kicked from the squad because I was playing ranger.
I complained in map/team chat but no one objected, and many agreed that rangers/(and thiefs) had no place in the squad or even in wvw at al.

I then decided to not join a squad nor join TS for 6months.

I still still play daily, i still follow commanders, And i still play necro/ranger/mesmer/warrior (depending on how i feel) I just refuse to join squads/ts

Most people want to win and want to have it easy.
Most people think that being where everybody else is will allow then to will easy
That is how stacked servers came into existence.

You can link anyway you want, but people will still try to get that easy win and move server accordingly and/or stay on there currect stacked server.

The only one solution to fix this is to force equal numbers in wvw at all times, so no one server can outnumber another for any length of time

• yes its gonna be hard to program this
• yes people will have to be kicked from the game when opposite server losses players in wvw (idle players first, then on a first in first out bassis )
• yes there will be more and longer queue’s

So if people want to play (and avoid queues) they will have to transfer

• make server population level depend on average number of wvw players over certain time
• make transfers to low.pop servers free (once a week)
• population will have a change to balance itself

This way, the server’s with best players online will win, as every server will have equal numbers in wvw.

Will this be fair: YES
Will we like this: NO
- we will hate getting kicked because opponents have less players
- we will hate being in queue waiting for opponents to get more players

Getting Phatom Glider when i don’t have HoT feels like a kick in the kittens

To OP:

From the moment you pay me on an hourly basis, then (and only then) are you authorized to give me any orders and punish me for disobeying them. At all other times I will do as I kitten well please.

But from you post I rekkon that you think some people have more rights than others, if that is so I call for revolution:

Down with the military,
Freedom for the to people,
Pick up your arms, do what you want and kill (or try to) every single person that comes in your way.
You will probably die (over and over again), but at least you where free to do what you want.

@Healix it seems to work, thanks

On old PC that has been swtiched of sinds march this year im getting the following message when i try to start guildwars2

Unable to verify Guildwars 2executable, Please try again. …………………………..

System info
- WindowsXP sp3 (32bit)
- 4gb ram (3.5 usable)
- 2.9ghz core2 duo
- GeFores8600GTS

Evertying worked fine back in march.

- checked for viruses
- check for disk errors
- reinstalled GW2

Problem remains

Good Ranking of what ?

Ranking to indicate what server is better, is pretty useless atm because the server with the most active players will easy outrank any server that has obvious less active players
So you might as well count the number of active players to get the current rank.

The only way any ranking system will give real and usefull information regarding with server (accumilated players on a server) are better that other server is when you force the servers have about equal number of players at all times that other servers.

Forcing (approx) equal number of player can be done, but we wont like it.

Linking / Unlinking, it is not going to solve anything, because bandwagoning will still be possible.

The only solution is forcing (approximately) even number of players in wvw. Surplus players will have wait in the queue and even be kicked from wvw of the opposing numbers dwindle. Overstocked server will have to transfer out to low pop. servers to be able to play.

Only with even numbers will there me “fair” fights, will any form of scoring have meaning.

But we wont like it, because
- you cant play wvw atm because opp.servers dont have enough players online
- you will be kicked out of wvw because opp.server players logout.
- etc etc

Can’t wait for more siege.

I dream of dual wielding cannons mounted on a golemsuit witch is protected by multiple layers of shield generators, and a few ac’s to cover for close range. I will no longer have problems with going outsite of my protective tower.

DomAltares.8651:

I’ll be Debbie Downer: Are the prices in gold/badges/proofs going to be anything near realistic, or is it still going to be more economical to farm a meta map for two hours? Because Anet seems to have a pretty skewed idea of how many of these currency many WvW players have laying around that don’t get spent on siege, traps, and upgrades.

Put more directly: I can farm Auric Basin for 2-3 hours these days and get enough Aurillium for 6 Runes of Durability. Can I expect to run WvW for 2-3 hours and also get enough of the requisite currency (whatever it turns out to be) to buy 6 runes?

Yes please let it be a realistic price.
as in

It should be easyer to get in wvw for a regular wvw player, and harder to get in wvw for a pve player
It should be easyer to get in pve for a regular pve player, and harder to get in pve for a wvw player

Just old enough to be alive at the launch of the apollo 11

I take pride in not ever joining a squad. And yes it happend a few times that people get rude. Not a problem, first i report them and then i block them.

Hackers on SFR giving the server a bad name, who would have tought…

Its a real shame that after 3+ years ANET is still unable to detect this kind of hack.

I hate myself for buying HoT already.
Now I cant vote with my money by not buying.

Obvious:

Q: Why cant you have a bald female avatar
A: Because it would cause clipping errors…..

meeflak.9714:

its because arenanet has once again left the veterans out of the loop and made us feel that out continued dedication to there company has gone unappreciated.

You nailed it right there

Im calling kittens,
As a veteran i earned al that stuf by putting in many hours of my time

It’s a 2 year maintanance fee
- acces to new content and updates require you to pay
- paying the 2 yearly fee for the first time includes the core-game

Hey there,

Here are a few tidbits from the team:
…..
You may be surprised to know this (I know I was) but very few people bought gems at smaller denominations than the first one offered in the new system. That’s not to say they never did, nor that there wouldn’t be the desire to do so. But overall, the current options were selected based on player purchases in the past.

This made my bullkitten detector going of scale….

On a more serieous note
- The cheapest TP item atm is 25gems

So everyone with less than 25gems should be able to exchange them into gold or add up gems to 25.

There are 2 ways to do this
1) be able to convert 1 gem into gold
or
2) be able to buy 1 gem with gold

As 1 gem is useless to buy anything with, buying 1 gem with gold is probably to difficult to understand for the “new” player

Therefore i suggest:

• be able to convert 1 gem into gold (i dont mind doing this 24 time to get rid of my leftover gems)

• the minimum amount gold -> gem conversion should be 25 [aka cheapest TP item]

Expectations ?

I hope for bugfixes in loot tables, but i’m expecting more bugs and less loot

I hope for more varried WvW play, but i’m expecting an inflow of disillusiond pve players who feel themselfs forced info wvw.

I hoped for new content, but with the insane 50k+ aow5 influence requirements i expect never to be able to do it, or beforced to kill of my small guild of friends

Maby the living story will add new content avaiable to me, but i expect more grind

I hope for fixes and tweaks to make some professions more viable to play, but i dont expect anything here.

I hope the real release will proof my expectation wrong and feed my hopes instead.

If not I can still play the game and content that is currently already in the game.

The new password system is horrible, and actually less secure than even.
It looks like If you choose a password that someone else has already chosen, then the system tells you "the password has been use my you or someone else before, of is on the bad list)

So an ideal way for hackers to create a password list containing “currently used” and bad password. Then by removing the obvious bad and the onces from other password lists you get a list with allot of currently used passwords.

1) Yes

2) Yes

3) Yes

4) Yes

5) Yes if you mean seperate PvP from WvW/PVE

6) Don’t care

7) Yes

8) Yes in respect to Ascended stuf

9) Yes

10) No
11) No
12) No, I’m even afraid it will get worse

It looks like the WvW outnumberd icon.
If so it should only be visible in WvW then your server is outnumberd (and show added boost on mouseover)
Outside WvW it looks like a bug
