Guild Wars 2

When I’m commanding I prefer Warrior over Guardian… the simple reason being: I’ve been playing my warrior pretty much exclusively since release day… (and I still enjoy it) … I’ve only started playing my Guardian about 2 weeks back… It is fully geared and everything but when it counts I will always command on the Warrior because I am more used to the class, I know every little detail of how to play it and how to lead on it. It’s not 100% the same as the Guardian.

In general usefulness to the group you are leading I’d say the Guardian is a tiny bit stronger than the (shout-heal Warrior) … But for me personally I simply prefer my Warrior.

made it all the way to the ascended version in 1 night.

really really like this way of levelling up (upgrading) an item in multiple stages. can we maybe get this for other items as well? weapons / armor?

Quite enjoyed this all nighter getting to know all the mechanics in the new events in LA.

Good update. Makes me wanna do PvE which I usually avoid in favor of WvW.

Thank you for that. Made my day more enjoyable.

this will change around every single week…

get a second monitor. get one of the (many) api based maps up on it. enjoy.

My guild was in the EotM beta. There’s an event which allows you to claim control of an airship, all of the players involved in the event can talk to the NPC involved get a device in their inventory that when double clicked calls in an air strike.

NDA?

EoTM did not have an NDA… just sayin.

katniss.6735:

Give the commander’s targeting icon an orange colour that can be seen by everyone on their server. So people can target the commander, and attack/ build whatever the commander suggests. You would be able to pinpoint direction ahead of time, etc.

Have it so if you join the commander’s squad, you only see that commander’s targeting icon.

The amount of focus fire this would end up in… commander would just be standing on the sidelines basically directing nukes on single players.. don’t like that idea much…

OP idea is insanely good tho!

I still don’t care why one would care about ascended gear…

on topic:

got 1 ring on rank 300 and something… got some other exotics.. I don’t really make a list of every drop I get tho…

y u no use the thread that already excists? https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/signet-of-vamirism-bugged/first#post3571347

Will report any Necro I see using it when I tag up tonight. I won’t have GH sink to that level under my watch… There will always be people on every server who will find out about it and use it…

Commanders should feel a responsibility to tell people off who use it (or even report them in extreme cases…)

username.4932:

No this is pure L2P issue (there are many successful tactics to counter this), balance is perfectly fine on this point.

you clearly have never been in the situation yourself.

make ALL of the legendaries. meme reference

Charmide.4891:

Yep, we invaded the city just to win this match :o

Did you see my ex-gf then? She’s in uni there.

Oh god I come back after 5 months of absence and people are still discussing canadians.

There is an easy test to check if you have been killed by canadians. If they stay to apologize after they killed you, they’re canadians. There.

Yes. Laggs. Our worst enemies. Laggs. God. kitten Laggs.

YOU will not regret joinig.

Ogre.1750:

Desolation will soon be #1 in the Eu ladder… and the person who works the most, is respected by all and could possibly just be described as The President of Desolation is a woman. Wrex please stand up.

Also, my guild has certain renown in skirmish combat… we do what we can. As GM, I closely monitor all my soldiers, how many times they die, the success of their builds, their share of the work, their performance in small fights, duels, etc. I can say with no doubt that our most skilled member is a woman. Frixa please stand up.

/thread

As an IRON member, i have to agree with Ogre on this about Wrex, she has a weird attitude but works really hard and very dedicated to keep desolation where it is.
Also for Yanox, very didicated towards IRON.

This is absolutely true.

ALSO, I have noticed women volunteering for tower-guard duty more frequently than men… ANet, could you at least make a “kitchen” upgrade available? I’d personally upgrade every freakin place we got every day.

Learn how to play the TP. Buy everything you need, get the karma & badges, be done with your legendary in a week. Start working on the next one.

So far: [Bolt] finished, about 70% on [The Juggernaut].

If you are not a hardcore player (or very very lucky) this will take you a long time, and that’s because ANet intended getting legendaries to take at least a few months or even a year.

Personally I have my [Bolt] finished, doing only WvW & trading on the Tradingpost to get the gold needed. (I am quite good at playing the TP. I like spreadsheets.)

I’m currently working on my [Juggernaut] which is also about 70% done. Gotta do another character with map completion after that, which will be the one factor slowing me down again.

Everyone has been doing this for weeks? What the hell is the point of this thread? ^^

Just passing by. Have to say 10k is really really cute, Melkiah.

Have fun guys. Seems like we left the drama behind in T1. Aaaanyways hope you guys have good fights, see you again at some point!

Icy.8041:

Really?!
Today someone from Iron also used the teleport exploit to get a few people into a the castle…

Pretty sure thats not true, please sent us proof and describe what the person looked like anything so we can identify who it was – IF it is even true. We take fair WvW very seriously so I think you may be exaggerating.

That’s my nightshift over. Loving the athmosphere in our TS these days. Everyone enjoying WvW so much now that we had a week off. People are pulling crazy hours in WvW again. 16h+ are quite normal on weekends in IRON aparently. Crazy times! Loving it!

Thanks so much for the fights so far, let’s keep it this way all week!

ethier.3417:

Looks like i’m missing out on all the fun…. Split Shifts suck.

Got to say the scores look very close atm, SFR have a 6k lead over Deso, but that could very well change over the course of the week.

Special Thanks to IRON from Desolation, You guys seem to be bloody everywhere like Xoac, It’s nice to see fighting again after last week matchup.

We are in one Borderland most of the time. We don’t have anywhere near the number of members Xaoc has. BUT we all love WvW from the bottom of our hearts, we never quit and we welcome every challenge.

So cheers for the compliment and see you on the battlefield!

HAMMER TO THE FACE!

on a more serious note: wow this matchup is fun so far!

Very funny how you people claim that all desolation are pugs and “know nothing about tactics” when GoD and many other guilds are doing an awesome job in wvw. Use mesmer portals/turtle/etc. And are very organised. I think you should rethink before you post crap like that and stop thinking you are the kings of desolation wvw.

You aren’t the only wvw guild around theres many others on different borderlands doing a good job.

I do not understand the rage.

See that guy’s past posts and you will understand its best just to ignore him.

Didn’t check them. Ok, I will, thanks for the heads up.

Gamblit.5041:

I saw alote of Iron including 2 Commanders players in WvW this gaming week. Are you guys really resting?

Hey Gamblit (read Gambit first … to much Xmen the last couple of days…),

we said we would not be WvWing like we normally do. We do however play casually just because we enjoy playing.

I for one have been spending most of my ingame time in the fractals (not because of any “geargrind”, but because I actually REALLY enjoy them). Other people also have been doing this. But in between people still go to WvW, our commanders did try out some new things, we came up with some new strategies (“new” meaning new to our guild, we definitely did watch some youtube videos of guilds we were up agains these last couple of weeks and tried out stuff we liked) and all that kind of stuff.

I am also happy to announce the public Desolation TS3 server is making progress, and will (hopefully!) be up by friday! We will be informing our desolation allies/pugs (meant in a good way) once it’s live.

We have also been working on our internal guild structure, the new forums have shown a huge activity and we even got some gratitude from ANet relayed to us for sending them accurate feedback on the patch from a WvW-players point of view.

Oh one more thing: Thank you for one of the cleanest threads in this sub-forums history, I did not think it possible anymore.

Carry on and don’t forget to check out http://www.ironguild.eu frequently (bookmark it!) if you are interested in our future developement as a guild.

Daendur.2357:

i think those players with 2000/3000+ golds can buy a lot of precursors now and control the market for a while…

Pretty much my thoughts.

This is what I did.

Thanks Brunners, means a lot to us!

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys. Really helps our morale and strengthens our dedication to WvW and to Desolation. A special thank you to all the players from other servers for your encouraging posts.

On a personal note thanks to you guys my faith in the WvW community has been restored. No flaming, a nice athmosphere in a thread. This is how it should be.

Please try to stay on topic. If you want to talk about RUIN please refrain from doing this in this thread. We would like to keep this open for discussion but if RUIN-talk ensues we can see it drifting into another flame-fest which may get the thread locked/deleted. So please keep this thread focussed on IRON, thank you.

We will definitely put that golem to good use.

this was a good laugh. but usually there is less players in WvW during events.

Genev.2450:

But good you didnt let it get to you, and looking forward to seeing you on the battlefield!

Thanks, we’ll do our best.

They moved to Blacktide. Our IRON nightshift has confirmed farming Archaos multiple times in a row untill he finally left the battlefield. But please let’s stay on topic here. This is not about RUIN but about IRON and our statement on what is happening concerning our guild on Desolation.

@RobF: We are currently on a (very) large scale TS server. I personally am in contact with a hoster who may be providing us with a (pretty much) unlimited slot TS3 server (unlimited as in as much as we will possibly need). This will take some more discussion and thus time, but we are working on it. We are currently asking people to join our ts whenever we are in WvW providing the details in mapchat. But again, working on a free4all TS, it’s gonna take some more time though.

@Bahamzero: Thanks dude. Yeah, we are looking forward to making an impact again. As said before we will take one more week of preparation & resting but after that we are back with full force.

Syndic.4762:

Best of luck to IRON & Desolation, maybe now the disease is gone you guys will get some quality transfers and enjoy WvW without all the drama. You guys are what made Desolation’s reputation grow before the tragedy happened.

Drama has already started for us.

Thanks.

Best of luck to you Blacktides dealing with the problem now. Really hoping you will be able to manage it as a server and looking forward to meeting you again (casually next week and competitively as soon as Desolation has picked themselves up again).

We will be back in shape within the next week and back to fight for Desolation after next weeks reset. We will of course be present in WvW during the coming week but not in full force. People (including myself) will try out new builds/tactics withing next week and generally prepare to be ready for the week after.

In case it is of interest to any of you, here you can find our official statement about WvW (this week), Ruin, and the future of IRON on desolation:

http://ironguild.eu/showthread.php?tid=70

Carry on.

(If a moderator believes this post to be in the wrong sub-forum feel free to move it, but as this only really concerns the WvW population of Desolation, Vizunah and Blacktide (+any other interested WvW people) I thought it would best be posted here. Thanks for the understanding!))

Right back at ya, we enjoy (and allways enjoyed) playing against you guys.

Don’t count on it. I have personally mainpulated the marked for up to 72h straight. All you need is a lot of startup gold (which you get from first farming then trading lower volumes…)

I’ve been doing it with lodestones and T6 mats before, it is definitely possible to maintain if you have 500-1000g and believe me, a few people have that kind of money now. Just remember it is a free market, people are entitled to play the market however they want (as long as they arent exploiting any bug – and other players being dumb/greedy surely can’t be considered an exploit.).

Why would you want to reduce it? It’s supposed to be a free market is it not?

if they remove the AOE cap I am rerolling elementalist the second they announce it!

Talking about that, thanks NuG for letting us wipe you turle vs turle in open combat every day You guys need moaaaar stability up!

There IS NO SUCH THING as an overkill!

Also prices will drop after the new content is out and the people who rush the new items have them.

You mean pixely shape? It’s still a videogame, dude.

penatbater.4710:

I’m pretty sure there will also be the “The mists” version of rifles. maybe

1 scroll
50-70 coins (idk)
250 glob of ecto
250 ancient rifle thingy or ori rifle thingy.

pretty sure there isnt.
