Guild Wars 2

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Breaking-Guild-Auras-in-WvW/first#post5802370

Just finished keep claiming and claimed our keep in EBG, still no guild auras this is really dumb, if a person put points into a mastery and didn’t get their thing i bet there would of been a fix within the day, yeah? And yes this example is perfectly comparable because auras are essentially WvW’ers mastery tracks, touch this mushroom get this buff/ go to your claimed tower get this buff.. see?

They removed the text showing when guilds claim, so you gotta watch to see if the flag the is tower/camp’s spamming out. Also Auras work just like Boons so if the guild doing this has a higher level aura than your guild’s it will ignore your aura.

Not sure if I’m supposed to or allowed to name the guild abusing this, but they’re on Maguuma and when objective “A” is about to be taken from them they spam claim objective “A” and objective “B” so when “A” is taken and we claim it we do not get our guild auras; this persists until “A” is taken by another server. So when we get home from work/school or what ever and try to claim a tower for our guild we don’t get any of our earned Auras, because WvW maps get farmed during those times.

EDIT next day
Now today when I went into WvW and ran over To Jerifer’s Slough and our guild aura is still on the tower even though the tower was not claimed by our guild or any other guild; I claimed JS and then Golanta Clearing to see if this would reset the guild aura, it did not and the guild aura persisted on JS even without being claimed by a guild. Not only that, but GC does not receive our guild aura, I also claimed Aldon’s Ledge and it too will not receive our guild aura— So it appears my guild’s aura is stuck to JS now.

1. issue: Guilds as proof of the ‘mega server’ anet would never part guild members from each other, thus making it a game of stacking a guilds(500people).. Sure this would support the name of the game but…. I’m pretty sure such a thing would result in even worse WvW play.

And WvW’ing with a new crowd every week + unable to do it with your friends if done your way would just as quickly ruin it. :/

Kitten that was a close call at SBI hills just now… Almost had it VP, good thing i brought a small team to it and more came little by little.

Ah.. We had your hills a few times tonight.. Happy with what we managed to do

Thanks to Host who beat us fair and square in a few fights tonight. We just didn’t have the group comp to beat you guys. We could have done with a few more casters but it couldn’t be done.

Hope to see you out there again before the end of the matchup.

/salute

Yes, we had some fun last night fighting against you guys too. We rarely get to have guild runs and when we do there’s never been someone there to fairly fight us really. I too hope to see you and/or other guild groups as the match continues.

Buffy.9246:

Hey Darkhaven. Little tip for ya. Let SBI server have SM and they will not defend their bl. Easy points.

This statement is very misleading, our EB crew is FAR different than our BL crew meaning SM has no equation to the matter, and is in fact a bad cop-out of not having SM on reset night against a “worse” ranked server, we also held what.. 3 of your towers for the majority of reset? and we didn’t even loose a camp even against several zerg attempts.

Meanwhile in EB NSP,YB fighting at spawn [Host] leads a 6man to take the keep behind em…

Just like to point out this EB [Charr] guild is a sack load of kittenty hackers. that is all.

[CHAR] are a lot of things, but hackers? Not in a million years.
Please know what you’re talking about next time before accusing people of hacking, you instantly get titled “Noob” unless you have some kind of proof (Pics, Video).

I could care less what you or anyone else title me, think of me or any kittening thing.. I HATE hackers/cheaters and call them out every time I possible(when there’s a guild of em) in hopes people realize ohh so that’s why they SEEMED “good”; placing any form of hacks on forums gets deleted and you get warned.. i know because I have tried before, sorry. pics can’t prove someone is teleport hacking because there are teleport skills, but there are only SO MANY and when they go beyond those or like the downed [CHARR] warrior who teleported to avoid being stomped last night..lol
I also received a couple PM’s from people from EB saying how much they hate [CHARR] no i will not put screen shots of it because they clearly wanted to be anonymous. It only further encourages me to peruse informing everyone what these guys truly are.
Your welcome.

I have uninstalled the game before..because it got corrupted or something silly, and reinstalled so yes your right it does do my server a service! Though really hackers defending themselfs with childish attacks is really pathetic. ;/

Ok, please provide a video of anyone from CHAR hacking! thanks! until you provide video with solid proof you’re just another trash player that needs to l2p

Am I a trash player because I have yet to throw a single insult at you or anyone in your guild? or is because a group 4 of you were teleport hacking killing me solo briefly at the top of SM, and once faced with equal number promptly defeated you?

L2P? let’s recap what happened I ran up top SM to check for stranglers, i see your lil group killing a guy i peruse…you kill me an NPC res’s me your group kills me again..place seige on my body and then kill the NPC.. my party mates come up res me.. we find you hiding off on a point we engage you and kill you all with 0 casualties. Am I the one here who needs to l2p, or is it you? :|

ROFL

you are BAD

i hope you enjoyed getting dominated by the dankle

so that’s what you call the teleporting hacks you use.. k

what are stairs? and what’s it feel like not only being bad but being dumb too?

As much as i enjoy being “dumb”, that’s not what i mean. I and several of us watch you guys teleport all over the kitten place at will.

[HOST] guild from SBI currently trying to res a mesmer through their eb keep wall to retake it.

http://i.imgur.com/gWrqWH8.jpg

gg SBI..also have it on video if anyones interested

First it’s [Host](though we do love our all caps!), 2nd I would love to see the video of our mesmer sitting there(not moving when res’d) with his flag out as a sign of surrender, 3rd I was also outside sitting there with my flag out with the friendly boaky(necro in your party) in his earth transformation having a little chat too

Had some fun commanding this afternoon in EB, saw the ol’ CD guild [aa] commander and couldn’t resist with our emote battles ;D.. had a rather fun SM defense battle against em too! http://www.twitch.tv/doommagick/c/2669785

Thanks for the fair play..many every other time I’ve commanded in the past couple months all i see is guild groups using AC zoomers(hack or exploit) to counter and ruin everything.

I personally miss the CD zerg attempting to take our DG tower every 5mins…comon guys KG isn’t thatt different

Here’s two S/F builds I’ve been using for the past 8 months…WvW and PvE
30/30/10/0/0
20/30/10/0/10 ( for 100% endurance regen or that silly on attunment thingy)
Enjoy or don’t.

So I just watched a zerg of ~50 people melee AP gate down with me, on a mortar with T4 mastery, and 2 trebs hitting them the whole time..which is a bit stupid that such a feat is possible in its self. So I decided to throw some points into the mortar T5 mastery skill Concussion Barrage that would knock down foes where they land!
Guess what they forgot to mention this skill is ground targeted..and has 1/3 the range of the other mortar skills AND only hits 10 targets at once unlike all other siege that hits 50… I feel completely cheated out of 25 WvW points no where in the upgrade description does it say SHORT RANGE SHOT OF MORTARS.

EVERY single hacking post I have ever created has been deleted within minutes.. I’m surprised this is lasting so long.
But really there is no way to report a hacker in game, they claim reporting for “botting” does it but I’ve had my entire guild of ~20-30ppl report a hacker with this the same time and he still returns everyday using the same hacks.. The only time my violations have seemd to work was when i managed to get their account name via party joining..which people are adapting to.. Screen shots don’t work, this i promise as I’ve submited 10+ on one hacker in particular including what i said early about my whole guild group reporting him.
Add a report hack option with a team that will actually enforce it.
Thanks.

So I log in this morning and go into WvW only to find this new feature of slide show only as it lags constantly showing people auto running then warping back then auto running off to know where again then game DC’s…I noticed on your twitter they fixed server lag issues. Hahaha…

dunnberry.2964:

Common saber we would give them all the exact same treatment we gave Doom on Sunday night…and to SBI bragging about gold…I’ve made about 20 gold since we started playing you guys, that’s with buying some siege and upgrades everyday too

I hope you don’t mean me..cuz i wasn’t even on sunday evening…

ExploitZerg Isle.

Did you see a commander exploiting?

Funny thing is i have him, his commander and another commander all in several screenshots for exploits reported atm. :|

Your totally right it should be +50 like fort not +20.
Really though I like the change much better than just nerfing fort and I’m glad you an have both stacks at once.

We just had had a guild un-claim SM so that my guild could to place fresh new Guild buffs on it and to our surprise no one can even open the dialog box to the SM lord all he says is “Move along.”. Anyone know how to fix this?

Been a fun reset so far, let’s hope this continues once this weekend ends!

You may refer to us as Stormbluff Isle or SBI, there’s no goofy nickname for us because we own our name.

Though to have fun with it Scrambled Invaders? :| Not many S words with a mid B to use…

I’m really enjoying this matchup so far, though I haven’t seen much Maguuma..where ya’ll at?

Toroxus.9256:

Zalani.9827:

Look, next time you see the hacking and stuff going on just report it and move on.
Best thing to do.
Also, I agree with the fact that Anet needs to start going after hackers more. Don’t just give them a small suspension or something similar. Strait up ban them permanently.
On another note, can you just not go generalizing an entire server for a few hackers.

I laugh at the people who think that SBI has never seen an AC and think we have no clue how they work. But you’re right Zalani, we reported and moved on, as in, moved out of WvW. At least until we fight servers that don’t have rampant “ACs in just the right spots.” Or until we get word that it’s no longer possible via game update or word of mouth. Sorry Maguuma.

The best way to report someone for hacking if to select their character, press “P” click invite, then use a WP(or wait a long time) and you get their char name, next add this char to your Blocked List(in contacts(Y)), this will then give you their full account ID. Use this information in a ticket in the violations section and report them with both char and account ID, I also like to include the time frame the player is on. Wait 2 days to a week and you will no longer see this player online in your blocked list..problem solved. I have done this numerous times and it never failed me yet. Consider yourselves all armed against hackers-

Hackers your anonymity is no longer with you.

Side note..my game wont launch and I finally have a weekend off…sad day

Same issue here.. my crash is a little different though. Repaired, re-downloaded even..still there.

When my game launches it just keeps crashing, tried several things and nothing is helping, any clues?

Ascii.9726:

Question: Will these reward chests for ranks be given for people who already have Ranks? For example will a Rank 60 player receive 60 chests?

There will be a system for rewarding players who have already gained ranks. The way it will work is you will have a backlog of 60 chests, if you were at rank 61, and for each rank you achieve after that you will get 2 chests, instead of 1, until you’ve received all 60 of your backlog. These bonus chests should be available for every player who has gained rank prior to the build.

So being rank 158 I wont get all my chests until I get rank 315??

This is quite annoying as most of you guys are just reading the title of “Night Capping” and raving what you did the 1st time it came up without even reading what I have had to say it’s fairly obvious when the one guy who took time to write a paragraph’s first 4 words prove he read nothing I wrote.

What I have done here is merely put a cap to the amount of points ANY(sorry all you people who feel your being targeted, but this would effect EVERYONE, so there goes the whole you’re against this or that time slot crying,which sadly is all that has happened so far.) time slot can achieve ahead of the others to keep the game closer. The limit would be decided by ANET via their numbers they collect whilst giving server rankings.

Been here since beta; just finally thought I would give my theory a go on the forums.

Nokaru.7831:

There’s no such thing as nightcapping because your night is someone else’s day.

Which is why this would be balancing my day and their day to be equal in possible points gained.

elkirin.8534:

The difficulty with maths solutions is the players ability to work the system.

I would suggest Anet needs to track players in WvW and use it as part of the rating calculation, not adjust the ppt.

The math is simple if you pressure one server too low you move to the next one until they regain points..this also help keep away the dreaded 2v1.
Getting an entire server to stop playing WvW would be pretty impressive way to “work the system”.

Saint Scarlet.2906:

Why should i have my timezome in WvW capped on points?. Ever since i started playing GW2 my server has always been outmanned at night, every single night. We have 15-20 dedicated night guys(all friendlies, not a guild) yet can still manage to get 450+ ppt against servers that field 50+ people during this time. Either you have to learn how to play smarter/better or you recruit more people, don’t try to limit other people just because you cannot organise yourselves.

Sorry you misread, this is not for a specific timezone. Why you’re attacking makes no sense- you would be making the same positive points as usual since this cap would always be in effect.

CreativeAnarchy.6324:

Get more players to cover your time zone, otherwise no thanks.

My timezone(NA) has plenty of player;s it’s the non-NA players where the problem is.. all the oceanics can still PvD to their hearts content- they just wont get thousands of points ahead by doing it.

Since day 1 there has been an issue with “Night Capping” and Anet stated they will do nothing to fix this because they don’t want to take away from a players ability to help their server.

So here’s my theory for a fair solution Why not create some sort of “PPT Cap”?
Now this wouldn’t be as simple as just giving a set cap of say 350PPT, because how often during a fair days playing is a single server 350PPT above the 2nd place PPT.
Why?When this “Night Capping” is happening it isn’t uncommon for the server doing it to achieve 600+PPT out of a total of 695PPT. So this server is pretty much gaining their full PPT ahead of the other server(s); While during “Fair” play most servers are within a 100PPT (Ex: Green:235PPT Blue: 230PPT Red: 230PPT) of each other, meaning they are only really gaining 0PPT-100PPT ahead/closer of the other two servers.
Possible Solutions
1.A single server can’t gain more PPT than the other two combined.Server “G” focuses server “B” to ~25PPT and leaves server “R” untouched, Server “G” the next day focuses server “R” leaving server “B” untouched to keep that gain ahead.
2.A server can’t gain more than xxxPPT(100PPT for example) ahead of another server. Now if a single server is falling too behind for too long it will actually hurt the “Night Capper” or 2v1 scenario. How?Say this is the current scoring: G:400PPT B:250PPT R:45PPT. Now “G” and “B” are both making 145PPT this will then begin to effect their total points and in turn effect their total WvW Server Ranking. This solution also doesn’t effect a player’s ability to contribute to their server as they can still play and capture points and flip all the empty towers/keeps and get all theirs upgraded peacefully.

xxxPPT could be determined via average PPT data during equal population play time.(I’m sure Anet tracks point gaining data.)
“G”=Green “B”=Blue “R”=Red

You realize a mortars already have the burn feature…just change shells.

Yeah, it’s really sad there’s been this known CD hacker playing for about 2 months now and I’ve reported him via ticket with char name AND account ID and the hours he plays during…2 weeks in a row and he’s still out there hacking away with no action from Anet… Kinda makes you wonder what thier Violation Team is doing…yeah?

Guy, This is 7 MONTHS OLD when the SM lord was on the 2nd floor; as you notice now he’s on bottom as the fix.

Funny thing is they did this a couple months ago because people asked as you are now, and that resulted in even more people complaining due to the que..etc. (And yes there was still SOME skill delay when all 3 servers met)

Offski.4897:

Are you kidding?

Rams get ac’d down in seconds, Cata’s have no protection with loss of swirling winds as have trebs. And you want to remove the last avenue of breaking into a defended keep?

My answer is a bit tongue in cheek.

Or you could learn tactics and strategy.. as was intended for WvW.
There’s several ways to kill AC’s inside a tower, same with catas and trebs.
Just stop freaking out that the old silly mindless way doesn’t work(as well) as it did before.

I’ve been a S/F ele since launch pretty much and Dragon’s Tooth is part of the reason why along with the other utility skills the weapon set brings. This skill has never required LoS to hit- all you need to do is jump around awkwardly to get a Target lock on said siege.

this is completely bull kitten..why the hell make reset for WvW LATER?! i thought you guys changed it EARLIER and was ecstatic… this is just stupid.. completely stupid. I will most usually never be able to play AT reset now…well kittened up.

Also, reading this there’s a lot of confusion as to the actual reset time; Why don’t you just post it as SEVER TIME so people can just look at their in game clock to see. (Or change it from local to server for a brief moment)

If you have a focus equipped you can use the invulnerability skill then cast it… which is what i do if i ever do use it, along with the reflect sheild…but i rarely use this or any useless elite skill..lol

Just reached rank 50

= footman still 5k per rank

I´m proud of u my homie

worldwide first ???

nope. Vi Au was a footman this morning ~12hrs ago when i saw em..not sure when he actually got it though.

Arrow Carts shoot above and over gates/walls so…no they will not fix them shooting through a gate because they…don’t.

Although I too am saving mine in hopes for ascended gear… I highly doubt it will be bought with badges through WvW. Nearly every time they released new ascended gear they’ve come out with new tokens or methods of getting tokens to buying it, so we’ll most likely get a WvW daily/monthly that gives us Laurels to buy them with or a whole new token system.

So I ran into this cool thief who thought it would be cool to go invis after nearly dieing to me and spamming these nice Mini Golem Bombs at me totaling over 34k damage, though I can only fit enough in my screen shot to prove 28288 damage worth.
.5sec cd 1600range.
If you all want to know where to get these here’s where http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Golem_in_a_Box they only cost 8c per. Enjoy more of you that use em faster it will be fixed.
