Sorry, you’ve already lost me. The wings aren’t worth this god awful game mode anymore. Ever since you required us to use multiple classes, my MMR is pretty much forever screwed, and no amount of playing is ever going to fix it. Going back to EBG in World vs. World and actually have FUN again.

Please, just stop trying with this whole eSports stuff. Games are supposed to be fun, losing 99% of your PvP matches is not.

Why Anet? What’s the point of it being called WORLD completion, if they don’t even have to explore the entire world of the game anymore?

Fairly New Player: NO Living World Season 1?!

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Bristingr.5034

As a person who missed out on Living Story Season 1, I actually would of preferred Anet to continue doing it that way.

I started at the beginning of Season 2, and thought to myself… “I thought GW2 was supposed to be a Dynamically changing world? This Season doesn’t feel like it’s really changing the world.”

Would I have loved to of taken apart in the battle to reclaim Lion’s Arch? In a heartbeat! Am I saddened that I couldn’t? Of course, but I’m not angry at Anet or the game because of it. It’s just how th game worked, and I bought the game accepting that style of gameplay.

As somebody else said, now GW2 is just trying to feel like every other MMO with it’s usual “static” instances.

Trouble with recruiting for small guilds

in Looking for...

Posted by: Bristingr.5034

Bristingr.5034

The title says it all. I’m the co-leader of a small guild that struggles to recruit. I just don’t understand why it’s so difficult. So I’m asking the forums for some tips and ideas to help our small guild (less than 10) grow and flourish.

First off, our handicap is that we put our real lives first before the game, so being on every single day just isn’t feesible for most of us in the guild. We try and do activities together, but for the most part, anybody who does join, just ends up leaving anywhere within a few hours to a few days. If that is the reason why, then I guess my guild is forever doomed to be small, but I wanted to at least try and reach out and get some help.

So any tips/pointers would be great, thanks!

The New WvW Borderland

Squeeeeeeee

I love what they’ve shown in the new BL! I want it already! Screw all you haters, I actually get tired on constant 60 vs. 60 blob fighting. I mean, if you guys want that so bad, go to the kitten arena in OS.

EoTM is terrible because of what the PvE community did to it, and because it resets after 3 hours. I want to be able to see progress of my hard work when upgrading stuff. Also, I enjoy being able to provide boosts to my server through our hard work (the PPT).

I want this BL! Grabby Hands I would rule the Fire Keep with a Firey Fist, hahaha, and watch all my enemies melt as I stand on lava unharmed. Or watch as 30 people jump from the tallest point in the map and crush their enemies from fall damage as they themselves are unharmed. These new boosts and keeps (and towers .) are awesome!

Also, I love the fact that they’re making it worthwhile to walk Dolyaks now. I just wonder what the camps will be like.

Thank you Anet!

The only thing left is to change those Achievement Requirements…

It takes them a LOT less time to develop a quadrant a time, with additional events to accompany them.

You’re saying that making a WHOLE city takes less time then adding a QUARTER of a city with some events to go with them?

I beg to differ.

I don’t think you know how Game development works.

Massive Lag on BG BL for BG players on reset

in WvW

Posted by: Bristingr.5034

Bristingr.5034

A more concerning factor is the massive unbalancing going on between BG, JQ and TC. WvW’ers are leaving TC to join JQ or BG looking for fights which makes that at the present state of today, TC oceanic time zone is barely 30 to 40 guys against BG and JQ able to fight each other and crush TC at the same time. It becomes nearly pointless to even bother upgrading or even defending anything anymore. The double teaming doesn’t even need to be planned when the configuration is like this.

Lol, BG is the one that’s in danger of falling to T2. TC is fine, we deal with the constant double-teaming of JQ and JQ wannabes (BG) everyday and get through the week just fine.

Personal Bank Gold Changes?

That ‘leave guild’ button absolutely should not be beside the other button to stop repping. Leaving a personal guild that has no other members that can bring you back in can be devastating to your finances.

I agree with this. They should put the “Leave Guild” at the top or something, or at the VERY LEAST, make it so the 2 buttons are further apart.

Nexon vs NCSoft 2015

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Bristingr.5034

Bristingr.5034

If only Nexon would be Gw2 publisher.
Then it would at least be f2p and populated.

I’ve played both Mabinogi (for almost 5 years) and Vindictus (3 years). I did play some Dragon Nest, MapleStory, Atlantica Online, and Combat Arms from time to time, but I will say this with absolute certainty. You do not want Nexon to be Guild Wars 2’s publisher

My best experiences of Nexon come through Mabinogi and Vindictus, and I can say that those two games are the best support Nexon provides. The MapleStory Ship has long sank, Atlantica Online has died from it’s former glory of before it was shipped off to Nexon, and Dragon Nest’s playerbase is so venomous, it makes League of Legend’s playerbase seem angelic.

Vindictus has TERRIBLE RNG, over 3 years of playing, I have only received two rares to show for it, and was often found being kicked off boats (parties) because I refused to pay for power (they sell power in the Supply Depot).

Mabinogi is rampant with power-creeping. Players can practically one-shot everything in the game or just spam pets with AoE abilities and not even touch an enemy that you once were required to use specific skills or items for. They sell direct power in the cash shop (in the form called “reforges”), tons of protection potions (for repair, upgrading, etc.), and basically all life skills (crafting) is nulled by more powerful weapons sold in Gachapons. My Rank 1 Blacksmithing in that game is worthless because I can’t create a weapon powerful enough to be on par with items sold for real money.

Lastly, ALL of their games’ population is dying. If you think the population of this game is bad (I fail to see how, considering I CONSTANTLY see players everywhere), if Nexon were to have publishing rights to GW2, then players would simply not touch the game and it would even be more of a barren wasteland.

Gold Transfer Changes

I believe the other reason this was implemented was to curb the people who try to sell Precursors through the LFG system.

They have already addressed that by stating it is against the rules to use the LFG tool to sell items. These people should be reported for LFG tool abuse when you see it.

That doesn’t stop people from doing it. People are still trying to avoid the Marketplace because of the “massive” fees. I believe this is Anet’s way of just getting people to stop doing that.

When I purchase an MMO, I am purchasing the land, the enemies, the items, and the non-storyline quests, etc.

The Storyline should be a bonus, and that’s where Anet’s mind was. Living Story was basically a bonus. Everybody already got their personal storyline, the Living Story did what it was supposed to. I joined the game right at the end of Season 1, am I sad that I missed it? kitten right, but I’m okay with that. Because for $40 (at that time) I paid for a massive amount of content as it was.

Guild Wars 2 had something amazing going on and that’s what made me want to join the game, was because of the living story… now it’s just… like any other MMO it feels like.

60$ is the normal price for expansions, i do not understand why everyone is kittening about them including the base game? This is what happens when you want expansions, just think we could have had all these updates for free. GG internet cryers.

I have never seen an expansion cost that much. I was expecting $40 at the very most for HoT, and considering they were selling the base game for $40, and suddenly it’s Core + Expansion for $50, something just seems off is all.

1. TC doesn’t have hundreds of zergs running around 24/7. That’s JQ their whipped puppy server, BG. You’re getting mauled by JQ and BG, not TC.

2. You can always just delete all your characters and you’ll be able to change servers that way?

Then exactly how does one do a GvG? There has to be a cap to how many can participate, because I doubt a map would do well in 500 vs. 500.

A guild of 5 people would never be able to go up against the larger guilds of 50, or 100+.

But the way I am understanding is, they don’t want a cap. They want to bring their ENTIRE guild, which just isn’t feasible. Most players would suffer from graphical and hardware lag.

What do you want? 10 vs. 10? 20 vs. 20? How would it even work? 20 rounds of 1 vs. 1? Gzerg vs. Gzerg?

The next thing is, how would players even want it? Similar to WvW (keeping towers and keeps) or just a massive Colosseum (similar to Obsidian Sanctum), that would allow spectators to watch from the stands?

Lastly, how would this affect World vs. World? How many players would it pull away from WvW?

Major WvW overhaul incoming

in WvW

Posted by: Bristingr.5034

Bristingr.5034

So I was thinking last night…..

What if .. what IF .. the big major overhaul was to put EU vs NA in one big, single, matchup tiers?

You keep the servers you’re on and NA vs EU scrap it out to get to the top.

NA will win in top tiers because of well, stackgate. But it could prove very interesting in the silver and bronze tiers.

And it could open up more competition between guilds.

I’m down with this… as long as Asia gets involved. I still want that 3 way fight.

PCG: With most of the expansion it’s easy to see how it’s an extension of the game. With the new WvW borderland map you’ve announced, that sounds more integrated into an existing thing. How does that affect World vs. World overall?

What Determines Color Changes on Reset?

Colors are based upon (if I recall correctly) ranking. As in, where did the server finish for that week.

As for the opponent match up, they take the top 3 servers based on the server rating shown here
