Guild Wars 2

This is kind of frustrating. They said all stat combinations that were only available through raids before would become available through living story, yet they leave out Marauder`s which is the one I was waiting for. They keep being consistently inconsistent with stats availability. -.-

You have become so removed from this game mode. It is so sad that you seem to lack any insight in the variety of aspects WvW is about for the same variety of people – and yes, there might be some that appreciate this change, yet I safely assume that making Saturday a rather irrelavant day in a decided matchup will sadden quite a lot of people. This change is just the tip of the iceberg. I do not know why I even bother anymore.

One of the problems is that someone had the brilliant idea not to randomize the matchups of the first round but to go 1v2v3 4v5v6 etc. which no “Swiss-System-Tournament” would ever do. In a “real” swiss-style tournament repeated matchups are not possible. Seems that they just do not reall care. Alas, it’s only WvW.

This is beyond wrong. Are the people at Anet aware of the fact that there are tons of really dedicated WvW players and commanders who are not sitting on gazillions of gold, they spend money on WvW upgrades, Bufffood, Siege Weaponry etc. and play a (financially) very unrewarding part of the game just because they like it. I have to say, this, again, shows the complete misconception and lack of understanding concerning WvW issues.

Kodash can’t join red Borders either. Fix this reset. It’s been months…

So, apart from the fact that I can hardly understand why a 6th place in GOLD league is worth less that 1st-5th in SILVER (compare that with sports?), isn’t it worth questioning why the US Gold league 6th gets the same reward as the EU 6th – a league which has 3 further spots? This reward system is so really not that convincing, nor is the ranking system: After 9 weeks 2×3 Servers have exactly the same amount of points. Great way of measuring success and differentiating between the servers! GJ!

This is hilarious. All the potential that EOTM had degenerated into a farmfest. And now you farmers demand not to get farmed. This STILL is WvW even if it mostly doesn’t feel so.

[DSV] from Kodash is looking for friendly GvGs, preferably 20v20 on Thursday. Contact me ingame.

AR’s inability to put actual pressure on Kodash throughout the weekend has led to current score. I’m sure BB will come round at some point during the week and I hope Kodash strives to hinder us.

Well, AR’s inability to put pressure on you during your nightshifts leads to your current and future score. Sometimes I wonder what still motivates us to fight during weekends when one or two nights from that everything is gone again. We all seem to have a little Sisyphus in us.

I’d be interested in an educated guess about how many people from other time zones Vizunah has. I am just curious how you reach this amount of coverage.

Wrong stairs drakkar!

Hahaha, I was part of that Drakkar Zerg, and one of the two only ones running up the right stairs (and dying very quickly there…). Dear God, I was cursing. I am pretty sure you had loooots of fun).

HT 5th Omega Division send their regards

Does this really make you proud?

Haltair.3062:

From my point of view both servers, UW and DL, lack population, morale and commanders.

Are you seriously trying to compare your server to ours? And talking about the lack of morale: Especially OdS hunts down maybe inexperienced people running around mercilessly. So no wonder that the morale of randoms might be low. Don’t mistake me: I like most aspects of your playstyle and cherish being able to fight you on the battlefield. But there are definitely lots of people who don’t like it that much.

I have seen your server spawncamping more than any other server. And yet I don’t overgeneralize like you and say: “From my point of view, BB lacks honour and dignity.”

Did anyone already test what comes out of the MF when you use this recipe?

Dear Millers and Gunnars, do you ever plan on fighting each other on EB? Haven’t seen you advance into any other third than in ours.

The pistol also was among the ones we saw earlier as was the scepter (?), so why no rapier. I don’t get the logic. :/

Well, we all hoped for the rapier, as the nice pistol got implemented as well.

I can’t tell how disappointed I am that we don’t see the rapier but more chunky and utterly ugly weapons. Usually I don’t tend to QQ but this is really kitteningly sad.

My question is not a PvP question strictly speaking:

Does anyone care about the PvE State of the Ranger? Why hasn’t there been a split between PvE and PvP, e.g. for the Pet Damage. Why the Shortbow Range nerf.

But, alas, not really PvP questions. Yet, I feel the community wants these answered.

Stormleaf.1769:

Pet buff durations have always been affected by the ranger’s boon duration

But only in the tooltips and not in the actual duration.

You wrote (Roaming Power Variation): Sword with “Power” Sigil.

Did you mean Bloodlust?

I’d really like to discuss a Lvl 40+ Ranger Build for Fractals because I am at a loss for ideas. Before I actually start commenting on it and discussing it, I will test some things post-patch myself as I want to be able to know what I am talking about.

Yet I really hope the number of people who are seriously trying to come up with something instead of crying “don’t do it, re-roll, but I won’t test it” will increase.

And yes, I am absolutely aware of the fact that it might not prove to be that easy to find a good fractals build for us; that’s why I’d like to have a discussion.

Exactly. Drakes are the only blast finisher we Rangers have at our disposal. Regretfully

jpnova.4572:

Swoop- The prime point of it is the distance it goes, without auto targeting it can get you out of trouble, far our of trouble. Or if a team mate is in trouble on the other side of the room/area and you are fighting inside your healing spring, that’s a huge distance you can go with an AoE heal on the end. (I get 1500 from it)

How is there an AoE heal at the end? It is a leap finisher and consequently only heals yourself. A blast finisher is what you’d need for AoE healing. Or am I mistaken?

I’ve been using a pretty similar build lately. Yet, some things are different:

I go for 40% total Boon Duration runes and Sigils of Battle on both weapons. A lot of things are affected by this 40% and it really seems to pay off.

The equipment might also need some tweaking (I am still calculating mine) as for optimizing crit-damage.

Sigil of Generosity is viable as conditions are (in my experience) the biggest problem this build can face. The Sigil of Bloodlust ist something I really dont like (maybe on the spear but not on my main weapon and not in WvW)

Your post lacks rigour and is kind of confusing. And you should not start insulting people even before they answer.

Yes, the GS-autoattack is weak. But at least it does not partially root you in place. Instead it has evade which should not be underestimated. Nevertheless, I agree that I also think that the damage could at least be increased to a certain extent.
