Guild Wars 2

My party had the same problem.

I suggest berserker trinkets as I like to have some reasobable dps. This would be fixed.

I would play around with the armor and weapons to be either soldier, knight or a mixed of both, personal preference.

I like to get an invite too pls! TTS!

l was also looking forward to buying the blue SAB backpack skin because it is an account bound skin and no one can sell them on the TP.

Sadly, it is unavailable this time round. l have all the blue SAB skins for my char except the backpack and I would like to complete the whole blue SAB look. l wonder if the blue backpack would return in the next or even the next next SAB patch…

Hello guys!

First of all, I’m an achievement-oriented player. l am not sure if this has been mentioned before. For a long time, l have known that when engineers uses a kit to kill a monster/player, we do not get any progress towards our “weapon master” achievements.

l understand that logically we did not use our main weapon (ie rifle or pistol) to kill the target. However, l feel that it is unfair that we do not get progress in these achievements since we are highly dependent on our kits for many of our builds (maybe except SD and HGH pistol builds).

Are there any official response regarding this?

I like to know the answer to this as well. I deleted all 3 components thinking that they were for the usual Heart quest completion.

Now I am stuck at the Portal Device of the living story because I destroyed my portal components and the Champions do not drop them anymore

I can’t access your twitch channel, it is protected by a password.

I moved from a shatter spec mesmer to a hybrid balance mesmer, because I really wanted to diversify myself.

However, like others, I believe this change would just actually make me go back to the old and boring 30 pt illusions shatter build that I had tried to get away from in the first place.

I hope our voices can be heard, I will keep this short and simple:

I dislike gambling RNG chests.
I will happily use real money to buy items directly from the Gem store instead.

I hated the idea of RNG to get weapon skins. I have bought gems to get Southsun Cove chests, but didn’t get a weapon ticket. I have bought gems to get Dragon coffers, but didn’t get a weapon ticket. I missed the previous Living Story to get a cool weapon skin, and I think I’m going to miss getting another cool dragon skin weapon.

I play casually, and I also do farm for the chests to try my luck if the gem store fails me. I farmed alot during Southsun Cove and still got less than 10 chests. Needless to say, 10 chests isn’t enough to gamble for a weapon ticket.

I agree with the majority, it will be so much better selling the skins directly. I would have willingly bought more than 1 skin, I would be a very happy player, and I would patronise the gem store for more weapon skins in future. Unfortunately, unlucky people like me would be left disappointed again for another event…

I find everyone’s arguments interesting. I’m mainly a wvw roamer/small group player and I play a conditionmancer. Do you guys suggest a mix of rabid and carrion equipment, or just go full carrion in everything?

I like this idea, do you organise this regularly?

I’m ex-yaki member. Yakisoba from JQ has retired from gw2 few months ago. Most of us left for other games.

Jade Quarry just opened!

Updated the build, changed to 0/20/20/30/0, took Vampiric Rituals and Vampiric Precision in Blood Magic, and took Reaper’s Precision in Curses instead.

How is this for a power wells build for wvw?

Sometimes, I like to follow the zerg, other times I like to roam in small groups. Would a epidemic conditionmancer serve me better for the flexibility?

I did consider the staff. It has really good defensive capabilities. Stupid twilight of mine, haha. If the greatsword build really doesn’t work out for me, I would probably succumb to the staff.

I would actually like to rely less on a shatter build (30pts in illusion tree), because my illusions die really quick in a zerg due to the aoe skills going on before they could shatter. But I would still shatter for dps/defense when necessary.

I think the extra heal on mantra (Restorative Mantra) is a nice addition when using the Mantra healing skill. I believe it would compliment Mender’s Purity for condition removal and compliment the Centaur rune for swiftness, and also assist ppl around me.

I would probably go 20.20.0.25.5 – giving up points in Chaos, with the new addition of Restorative Mantra. (It also gives me the option to switch to a 1v1 Phantasm build without changing traits)

I also changed my armor to Knight, and my jewelry to Cleric. In short, I sacrificed dps for defense.

Updated build – http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/mesmer/?4.0|1.1c.h19|0.0.0.0.0.0|1n.73.1n.73.1n.73.1n.73.1n.73.1n.73|1k.68.1k.68.1k.68.1k.68.1k.68.2s.0|k5a.k5a.0.p4a.5|41.8|32.3d.34.3b.0|e

I am however wondering if healing power with Restorative Mantra is a worthwhile investment.

Hey guys,
I’m trying to design a GS mesmer build for commandeering in wvw. The mesmer is my main character.

The reason for using a greatsword is because I have a legendary twilight and I would like to use it more. I used to play a 20.20.0.0.30 shatter build. Now I like to switch it up for more defense while keeping the GS weapon.

Right now I came out with this build 20.20.15.10.5, weapons are GS and Sw/F. The key traits are greatsword training, deceptive evasion, illusionary defense and mender’s purity. Armor is berserker with centaur, weapon is soldier with generosity, jewelry is half cavalier half berserker.

Heres a link with my equipment and traits with food buffs –

Any suggestions for improvement? Feedback appreciated, thanks!

Hello,

I and 2 friends are looking for a SEA guild on JQ that actively does PVE content such as guild missions, special events, dungeons during the SEA timezone. Our old guild is dead after many of my guildies moved on to other games.

We have our own Wvw guild that we play with when we are out in the field, but we will represent and mingle with our main PVE guild when we are doing other stuffs. If there is a SEA guild that does both PVE + Wvw, that would definitely be great!

I believe that JQ is undergoing restructuring and reorganising after several ordeals, mainly in the Wvw sector. So I’m hoping to see if I can find a suitable dedicated guild during this time.

Thank you!

I’m pretty upset with this achievement too. I’m just a average player who likes to collect achievements. But this just seems too difficult or too much luck involved to obtain it. I really hope there can be a change for it.

Thanks somsom! I’m still new to thief, so I would prefer to have more defense atm.

Sir Vincent III.1286:

25/30/15/0/0
WvW = S/D + D/P (sometimes SB)
PvE = S/D + P/P

I find that this build is more flexible to what I do everyday I log in. I can bring this to WvW, dungeons, daily chore, etc.

15 in SA is the one the gives flexibility. When fighting melee, I can switch up to Cloaked in Shadows. When fighting Condi, I can switch up to Shadow’s Embrace. If I want to dance with someone, I can switch up to Infusion of Shadows.

I’m highly interested in the stats that you used for this build, because I would also like to maintain a versatile build for both PvE and WvW.

What are the minimum defensive stats that you aim for when you are in WvW?
(PvE not really a concern, because engagements are quite predictable.)

I was thinking of aiming for 17k health and 2.4k armor, do you think it’s too defensive?

I just single-handedly fended off a 20man zerg from a tower with an arrow cart.

Although it’s great, I think the damage boost should have been like 30% instead of 80%.

JQ is open now, go get it

My second GW2 account was banned for real money sales. The account was only a week old when it was banned. The only transaction I had was with my first account (mailing gold and materials to help level my crafting). I play the game normally and only bought gems if I need to. You can check my purchase history too.

I have a few posts regarding this account banning issues, and I’m tired of discussing it again. Please look into it for me, thank you and merry xmas.

I truly understand your situation, Light.

My first gw2 was wrongfully banned twice, first accusation was botting, second accusation was real money sales. Both times I had access restored but without explanation why it happened.

Then I bought a second account to play, because I was pretty frustrated with 2 bans plus the waiting time for the tickets to process. Only into a week, my second account was also banned for real money sales, the only person I ever had any gold interaction with was my first account, and somehow it constituted to real money sales? Currently, I’m still waiting fora response regarding this ticket.

Recently, my girlfriend’s account was banned for real money sales but restored 5 days later only to learned that it was “blocked in error”. She was upset because she took a week off to play gw2 through Xmas, but could not.

I never had so much frustration with account issues with any other games before. Right now, I even have a saved template to follow when writing in tickets. Nevertheless, I still love playing this game. Hope everything would be fine for those who are truly innocent, and Merry Christmas!

Posting on behalf of my girlfriend. She was banned for real money trading. All she did was send 18g and some crafting materials to my character to level my crafting. And the very next day, she was banned. Please look into it, thank you.

Ticket number: 121218-002117

My third ban, (2 on my main account, latest 1 on my second account). Pretty upset with the frequent bans and waiting. I have no authorization mail indicating any foreign hackers too. Please check, thank you.

Hello,

I have two GW2 accounts. My first one was banned twice, and my second account banned once. My girlfriend’s account was banned once today. As of right now, my first account has been restored, second account still banned, and my girlfriend’s account still banned. Both banned accounts are accused of real money trading, which we clearly did not engage in.

I have been really tired sending in tickets after tickets to see my accounts get banned then restored, then banned again. The first time I was banned, was at the launch of Lost Shore, now me and my girlfriend is banned again during Wintersday. It seems that we were always banned at the unluckiest of time when we want to enjoy the in-game events.

Here are the some of the tickets I have sent in regarding my bans (one of them my girlfriend’s):
121113-002936 – restored
121212-000045 – restored
121218-002117 – waiting
121220-000977 – waiting

I know the tickets are not 3 days yet old, but it’s really tiring to keep sending emails back and forth with the Anet staff regarding these bans constantly. I spent my time playing the game, worrying when will I be banned again. I also spent alot of time checking my email for responses, typing out tickets and sending it. I read another post on this forum about this one guy who got banned multiple times too. Is it just my IP that got flagged for bans?

I really do hope a more thorough investigation can be done.
Please help, thank you!

Hey Robert,

You said that the bosses in Honor of the Waves were not changed. I have been running that dungeon for quite some time, and to my knowledge, Hotw Path 1 Aldus Stormbringer does not spawn adds previously.

However, after the 14/12 patch, the encounter is spawning adds frequently during the fight, like 2-3 at a time. The adds are not veteran, they are silver grade. These adds made the boss encounter much harder. I did this Path 1 three times, and all three times have adds spawning.

May I know if this is really inteded or not?

Hello guys,

Before the 14/12 patch, I was running a balanced build of 20/20/15/10/5 – http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#mzmz0mczMmnLammnLamGGfaVzamaVm

I could use this build for Pve and Wvw without retraiting, but just change up some of the major traits. 2 things I liked alot about this build is Illusionary Membrane for the protection proc (many other classes gives regen), and the Mender’s Purity for the condition removal on heal.

But since the 14/12 patch, I feel that Illusionary Membrane is not as useful as before, and I was thinking of going 20/20/30 due to the buff to Shattered Strength. However, I will be losing the balanced stance (and Mender’s Purity for the awesome condition removal) that I have always been striving for.

For those ppl who went with 20/20/0/0/30, how do you manage with condition removal? Is Null Field sufficient enough to manage fights that will throw many conditions at you?

I like to hear a response from anet about this too. I really like to change the stats of my legendary via transmuting without giving up the legendary status. It would be great if we could have some assurance that the legendary status will be restored, otherwise we would have to compromise with whatever stats it comes with at the moment.

I completed my Twilight weeks ago, and I still don’t get the Legendary Medal on my login page, and I don’t get the achievement for acquiring a legendary.

Can we know if this is intended or not?

For a staff build, I switch between 2 builds, both are similar.
They focus on condition damage and conditions-on-clone-death traits.

0/25/25/0/20 – http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#mcmc0MMMzMnLrmMnLrm0pp0GVaVack

10/20/20/0/20 – http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#mcmc0MMMzMnLrmMnLrmaGG0GVVaVack

My weapons are prec/cond/tough, my armor is prec/cond/tough and my jewleries are carrion.
I use sigil of corruption and runes of undead to boost condition damage.

I will try to maintain 3 clones up at all times to bounce all the Wind of Chaos around.
If Wind of Chaos hits enemies, they get condition damage.
If it hits your allies, they get buffs.
If enemies kill your clones, they get more conditions.
Use Chaos Storm on your melee allies to protect them and damage enemies at the same time.

I use a 20/20/15/10/5 build with gs and sword/sword.
I chose offhand sword because I just like the looks of dual swords!

The major traits are mind wrack 20%, gs recharge 20% sword recharge 20%, deceptive evasion, random condition on clone death, remove condition on heal.

My utilities are blink, mirror images, and feedback/null field/portal depending on situation, but i usually use feedback. Elite skill is time warp.

My weapons are soldier, my armor is berserker and my jewleries are knight.
I chose a more balanced build, slightly leaning to defense more.
Currently, im surviving well in all dungeons, and I revive glass cannons pretty often.
In future, I may change my armor to knight and jewleries to berseker for slightly more offense.

I use the same setup for wvw too, but I carry along a focus just in case that I want to pull someone off a wall.

If you prefer a more balanced build, you can consider this one.

Took me around 5 days to get my account back after being wrongfully banned for botting.

There are previous posts in this thread that taught me to provide as much details as possible in the ticket (eg. account name, character name, last 4 digit of credit card, serial code etc.) , hence reducing the time taken for them to investigate your account. Do check back the older posts to learn more.

Hang in there guys.

I know this is too early to ask,

But as the game matures, do you think/hope Anet would introduce a new WvW map to replace the current one?

For me, I do hope to see a change in WvW map in the future, or probably even a monthly/quarterly map rotation.

What do you think? Should Anet just stick to and improve the current map, or would you like to see some variety in the future?
