Guild Wars 2

May I ask when the next server-linking is due? Is it this Friday?

We had two lovely Devs join our WvW raid squad on Aurora Glade last tuesday. I was shamefully starstruck. they were very helpful answering questions my Guildies asked, and I hope they enjoyed the fights we had (and fun we had testing out the new DBL shrine hoppers)

Hi All,
I have made the video of the footage from last night’s really great Blunderland.
It can be found here at https://youtu.be/2N5Q1BO1zWE

Hi,
So following a great 2016 Horrorween Event (hosted by Aurora Glade’s amazing PvE Sig) I created this video montage of all the antics that went on.

Really, really great event guys

We are having major issues in wvw atm, with enemies linking the outfit and still being able to putting it on, we have been losing points cos our whole group was DC’d half way through a cap.

Sorry, but is it the 24th or 25th? as you have made another post here saying its the 24th https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/wuv/WvW-Maintenance-October-24-2016

I must admit, I do enjoy running Sw/Sw Assas/Dragon in focus group (as long as I too dont come up against condi mesmers). usually I run frontline rev, and it makes a nice change running Sw/Sw focus. very nice video!

exact same issue for me too…. apparantly just start the game as an administrator

you will only get the credit if you soulbind it to the char you bought it on. so, basically they nead to wear the gear. apologies if you have already tried this.

Ok, so this new squad system is quite frankly amazing. I love it. Sub groups, luitenants, shiney symbols, all great.

But theres been this really niggling annoyance that happens if the commander disconnects suddenly. In our guild we have a typical set up that if the comm disconnects, one of the luitenants takes over the raid. but there can be issues here. ( fyi, our server uses TS3 for the borderland communications, but not all PUGS join it out of preference.)

Last night was a great example. We were running a 50 man squad on WvW EB, the comm had 2 luitenants ( me and another guildie). Comm suddenly disconnects because he’s lost internet in his area and is no way gonna come back into game to command (no reflection on the game, purely a domestic internet issue).

we now have a dilema. There are 50 people in the squad with no commander tag, and the game has not figured that the leader has left for someone to tag up (this is a usual thing, and after 10 minutes the game figures it out so someone can tag up) But we are on EB during primetime, and there are 50 people without a comm.

so there are several things we could have done in the meantime;

1. get everyone to leave the old squad and join onto a new tag that needs to be made. but if you have 50 people that need to do this, and then get the comm and/or luitenants to sort out subgroups it is gonna take time. last night half the squad were formed of PUGS and wouldnt neccessarily know what the guild does in this situation. there are chances that objectives will be lost in the few minutes the squad is being sorted out, or the group gets jumped by the enemy cos everyone is focused on swapping squads.

2. wait for the 10mins for the game to figure that the original comm has left for someone else to tag up by popping a symbol over the sub-comm’s head. (and pray that the squad doesnt get trolled by someone sneaking in a tag-up) problem is, the symbols are not a dorito that everyone recognises as a commander on the map. (then we have to get people flipping TS channels letting other borders know whats going on)

I would like to suggest some changes/add ons to the squad system, and would like to hear peoples opinions whether this would work.

1. make a way in which the commander can assign sub-comm duties to luitenants. So, usually a commander would assign luitenant duties to someone they trust to sort out the sub-groups, so why not put a tick box for commanders to allocate luitenants to take over the squad in an emergency as a sub-comm? a choice tick box for the comms to say “i’ve DC’d and have no way of allocating another squad leader, but one of my luitenants have the coice to take over straight away”…. ok, so people are thinking “but luitenants could take advantage of this” again, it would be a choice for the commander to tick up one of the luitenants, someone that is trusted, and I’m sure not every commander will do this. but in the case of organised raiding, it would stop a lot of annoyances.

2. being able to choose what colour tags for commanders that take over. its plain annoying when people were following a blue tag (which our server usually indicates as an open invite raid) and then the next person that leads ends up using a red tag.

By far one of the most detailed and logical alternatives for the new WvW Maps. +1

I know this is over and done with, but thought i’d just pop mine in from AG’s Horrorween event (link to album)

And heres one with the devs in as well

Hai! Sorry it took a while, but that was a lot of footage to cut down to 30mins

enjoy!

Hai,

I video community events on Aurora Glade, as well as document Guild Raids with [III]Third Legio.

My latest video was of the ‘Jungle Jubilee’ party hosted by PvE Sig, with musical preformances by [CMAJ]. I’m really pleased with the first person camera POV that was brought in a few months ago.

Please find the link to my Youtube channel and my latest creation below

I have created a video from the event, hope you all enjoy!

This is rediculous. crashing every 10 seconds and still on 0% for the past hour.
Got several Guildies on TS all around Europe having exactly the same issues.

PLEASE roll back the patch!!!!

Hen! Number! please! Any one will do.

I would just like to bump this, as have been looking for news over the past week regarding the contest. they must have an insane amount of applications!

Yep, died 7 times in 20mins trying to do the Trolls Revenge JP last night. Not the best of times to randomly get electrocuted and drop dead.
was also catapaulted to the Bloodtide WP – not WP’d. Physically dragged from the commodore area to the other side of the map.
Had amazing skill lag, the inability to cast any speed boons (warrior warhorn, etc) and for a while was running around with my harpoon (ofc not being able to swap out/cast anything, etc)

It is beginning to get on my nerves, let alone other people. the WvW maps are being affected by the sudden-death-syndrome, and although its hilarious when someone drops dead in a group, it is bloody annoying when you are in an organised raid.

Is there any chance I could do an arts piece, even though I’d not be considered?
Want to get the artistic juices flowing

Me, Me, Me, may I have a number? any number?

Amazing event! Currently uploading the Horrorween video. 7 hours of fun cut down to 40 minutes!

I may have uploaded too large an image….

My Queen, I do have a piece i wish to submit but am still working on it. what time is the deadline for the art contest?
