Guild Wars 2

When stronghold coming back? conquest is as boring as watching paint dry,

Whole reason I came back to GW2 and got xpac was to play Stronghold.

Any ETA on stronghold coming back? Getting really bored of conquest

Some great ideas in here. I wonder if we will see anything like this. 1 thing though is why would you separate in time zones when each team would be looking for 24/7 coverage?

Thank you for getting all that information.

What was A-Nets reason for changing the reset?

Home grown. Perso hyge setup

Solo Q was a thing. It failed due to population problems. I believe that the current system is better as you can q with 5, 4, 3, 2 or solo. If you do q with anything other then 5 people you cant expect to be able to beat full teams, though it is possible.

You can also see other people you play with and if you like how the play invite them to your group and form up a team.

do you not have fun playing pvp?

You played 8 hrs didn’t you get into some fun fights or duels?

Why is progression the only factor in so many peoples fun.

I have played some PvP. I win some, lose some its all the same to me.

(edit typo)

Because progression gives you a sense of direction, something to work towards to rather than just playing random games.

Of course there’s always two sides to a coin, one side prefers the competition, progression, and a sense of accomplishment when they achieve a goal. The other side is more casual: prefers enjoyment in the game mode, patient, etc.

If you’re open minded, it’s easy to understand why progression is an important factor in satisfaction. Don’t just view it from a lax perspective (I’m not implying that you’re ignorant, but suggest to be wary of others’ viewpoint). Plus, he probably did have enjoyable games, consider the 4 win streak in the beginning.

I understand the importance of progression. Though in a team orientated game I don’t understand how people expect to progress playing solo. If solo Q is your thing, you should go in with the mindset of just having some fun and if lucky you will go up in tiers.

If you are a “hardcore GW2 pvp leet” and you want the “satisfaction” of leveling up in tiers you really should get a team together.

Played 2 hours yesterday had 3 wins and 5 loss and had allot of fun fighting on the side nodes with 2v1 1v1 and 2v2s . Almost was 7 wins and 1 loss as each mach was so close.

Cheers for video mate

Just got HoT today. I am having a great time so far.

Will reply to all of the questions ones I have completed the personal story and checked out all of the maps.

probably a way to make us buy character slot expansion to be able to have all the toons. Think its like 800 Gems which is like 80 gold per character slot. If u get that u wont need to delete then re make the same classes

such an active thread with no dev responses. Anyone know if they have given an answer as to why this map is in solo Q?

I really like the layout and feel of this new map, though all most people do is pvd. I think it would be allot of fun if it was made into a new competitive game mode.

Have a q system that you q with your guild/ group then when all teams are ready it sends you in for a match. Instead of farming and zerging proper strategy can be used to try and win the match.

This could be like GvG where you will fight other guilds with your guild and the winning team gets rewarded. Instead of loot handed out for killing mobs make it that good rewards are given to the winning side.

This will promote a higher level of skill and coordination and won’t be just about numbers.

Just sharing an idea I had would other people like to see these sort of competitive matches in place rather then the boring karma train and mass zerging that is all wvw is atm

i worked out if u dont hit accept u dont go in

usually i just go afk for 15 min when it pops easy fix for skyhammer lol

I agree with make hammer dodge- able and removing the glass. Whoever decided that those two thing was a good idea was a kitten idiot.

I am looking to form competitive team that can play Australian time zone afternoons and nights. Already have 2 other people interested so need 2 more members.

Will need voice coms with a mic

send me a message in game or reply here and i will get back to you

I have decided i will just afk when skyhammer pops n not enter map is pathetic

thats annoying. Hope they will fix soon so when leave q on pop it wont start game and re Q

like the title says i want to know if i can leave Q when skyhammer pops without messing up team. This is solo Q

Is it possible to just leave match before it starts without messing up team? i hate this map and dont wish to play it.

I am also looking to start/join a team in the oceanic timezone.
I play Engineer rank 40 and have a mic.

server-I am on SoR server.
Event-The event “Rescue the villagers and defeat harpy kidnappers”
location- Tanglerot Hills in The Fields of Ruin
problem- event is bugged last villager is unresponsive

EoNxBoNx.9213:

Has anyone in this thread read the book, Playing to Win: Becoming the Champion by David Sirlin? If not you should read that book, and rethink how ridiculous you sound right now. Also a good book is The Art of Learning: An Inner Journey to Optimal Performance by Josh Waitzkin.

Just looked at Playing to Win: Becoming the Champion by David Sirlin and read the start.

Sounds like this bloke is so full of s!ht. Anyone that reads this and takes this seriously needs to reconsider why they are playing video games.

Even if playing competitively this book is not the way to go about it.

Im looking to join a guild who play around my time zone for group PvP.
For TPvP in HotM and also roaming in WvW.

I am currently on SoR server.

I am also interested in doing a bit of PvE if any good content is made but main focus is PvP.

If you have a guild or team either send me a tell in game or post here.

Also I run an engi main rank 38 and at level 80.

Thanks

ah great ty for the reply

wondering is it possible if after a TPvP match if i can be sent to where I was when I got put in.

like if I am in Orr doing some quests I can sign up for a match, when it pops play the match then after the match be sent back to Orr so I can continue questing

This makes it possible to farm, do quests while I wait for the match to pop instead of standing around in a zone doing nothing.

Chances are this will help with people not turning up for the match because they are more likely to stay at the computer instead of alt tabbing out or doing something else while waiting for the match to start.

lol. im looking forward for the asian merge so i can get good ping

Now that we can Q for TPvP outside of the mists i thought it might be an idea if after the match it put you back into the world.

Right now it is boring waiting for a game to pop and it would be much funner questing in between games.

Also this helps making progress in pve world and also pvp.

This bloke is spot on aye.

This happened to me 3 times now. Right at the end of the event I get DC then log straight back into overflow. I’m DC for less then 3 seconds.

I can not comprehend why they implement stuff like this in game.

Just beat that kitten then. ran full zerker static discharge on my Engi.

U have to be trolling yeh?

If u are getting another team going soon ill be down. just need to know day and time as i am living in Aus and study mon, tue & wed.

they sould make a sound that plays when the Q pops so then even if doin something else can allways hear the pop

Deathmatch- 5v5 game ends when either a certain amount of kills are made or a timer runs out. Winning team has top kills.

capture the flag- allready have this in a way.

something like dota 2/LoL would also be allot of fun.

I know the focus at the moment is conquest but it is getting very boring doing the same thing over and over.

Having a few different game types keep things interesting and each one has different skill sets so if a player is not good at hold the point, instead of giving up on pvp in gw2 they can choose to play a CTF or deathmatch.

Also the 8v8 has to go. All the new players roll it and dont gain the skills needed to play 5v5.

my 2 cents and i hope that the competitive pvp in this game picks up and becomes allot more enjoyable

Arena system would be sik still teams like 3v3 and 5v5 deathmatches. Along with a CTF and a couple of other game types (mabie something like dota2/ LoL) would make for a great PvP game n never get boring.

As far as balance this game seems to be the most balanced mmorpg that i have played. a few tweaks here and there and its set aye.

Will be good to get it started and see how it goes. I like the idea of working as a team n making some gold in game. If you need any help setting up let me know.

Not sure of any features that we will require, i guess the teamspeak to start with and see what is needed to help run the guild from there.

Hey there . I am playin on SoR mainly looking to do wpvp and tpvp is that something you are interested in?

Also how many members have you got joining from your company and what times you guys play?

what is a LGBT guild? i have been gaming for a while now and never heard of it.

i stolled too close to once. got destoyed instantly by an aoe arrow attack

Israel.7056:

I don’t think we’re going back to t2 but I do think we’re probably going to get knocked down to third place overall pretty soon unless we get more transfers.

why do u need more transfers just get more leet skillz and be better at gw2

Doomdesire.9365:

I kind of enjoy making enemy zergs chase me, yet are unable to catch me.

It makes my day

same and when most of them stop chasing, turn around and kill 1 or 2 of the stragglers.

i play engi as my only toon dont mind no rifle skins can always sell the stuff u find anyways. made 10g my first run aye

i have never had a problem joining a grp or coped any slack about being an engineer in a dungeon group or any grp. Dont know if ppl just trollin you

same thing happenin with my gear dont think it changes the starts it just has in red 12/6.
also i am using rune of the fighter dont think it is just rune of the engineer

just remove player tags all together unless u click on them. atm they stand out like dogs balls and is very annoying specially when trying to take cover behind a building.

I think a good way to limit the zergs would be to make it the larger the group the slower the movement speed.

This would encourage people to only group up to hit targets that they need large numbers for and also help small groups get away from mass zergs.

So happy i dont pay a subscription fee for this kitten. WTF is this ah yeah walk up a path how bout put in some challenging content to test our skills and have some fun with.

Like really walkin up a path aint content.

leadfoot mate, class balance is the most important aspect of a PvP game. The rest comes second. I would have more fun in a perfect balanced game with only 1 map then an unbalanced game with 50.

an example of this is WoW i played wsg was the only map i played. Dota2 is just game type and is allot of fun.

also how cool would it be if they made a game in GW2 that was similar to Dota2 or LoL. Just sayin would be allot of fun
