You wanna see someone unkillable with the orb go look for a pet bunker hunter.
This is a very real problem, but we can only work on so many things at once. I would still place it at a lower priority than Custom Arenas.
Personally, I would have to say, the small population who do Spvp tournaments probably more interested in preventing totally unfair matches (3v5, 4v5) than custom arenas at this point in time.
While custom arenas are needed, this current problem is game breaking for spvp.
The recent patch has increased the number of people trying out Spvp with the new solo queue button, however everyone I talk to who solo queues says they hate Spvp due to the unbalanced teams. So while the patch was successful in bringing people to Spvp, it was also successful in driving them away as quickly as they came.
In addition there is a bug where a team member on team red is also on the roster for team blue, if he soloqueued.
—-How do I know this? Whenever someone doesn’t show up to a spvp torny match I look up their account name on the roster, and match it with the members in my team. On two specific occasions a team member on my roster was put on the other team.
Anet, please add a system to let people fill spots of missing people in tournaments. The way the current system is, it is game breaking for Spvp. Every other match I wind up in a 4v5 or 3v5 matchup.
There is also an interesting bug where it puts an opponent on your roster, but when you enter the matchup they are on the opposite team and you are forced to 4v5.

50 kills in WvW is hardly a challenge, and takes probably 30 minutes tops. Stop acting like it was so hard.
Typical elitist response.
“It’s hardly a challenge for me and because I like doing it, means YOU should, not only do it, but LOVE IT too.”
You are “hardly” special. Stop acting like you are.
Oh please, you don’t see WvWers making 10 different posts every time a dungeon or fractal is required for monthly, which is pretty much every month btw.

I just wish Anet would fix hacking in WVW, you can literally learn everything via youtube. I will take any ANet employee in any Boarderland with me and show them how to get into any keep or tower or citadel so they can fix this kitten.
Superior arrowcarts and superior ballistas hurt golems a lot, especially if you place staggered ballistas on the path to inner gate,
Also cond necros with epidemic dominate golems when they are attacking a gate
The fact that you have to set up a special strategy with more than 1 person for this to work proves thieves are OP. Even if you do this little chickendance, the chances of a thief being dumb enough to stick around are very slim.
The only thief that can get away from this is a pistol/pistol thief that uses unload. Most WvW thieves are Shortbow with D/D.
Also you forgot about shadowstep, I use it all the time as my D/D thief, and barely ever get killed. So, you should probably say “any thief can get away regardless of weapon setup”
And don’t start saying “level a thief”, I have a 80 of every class other than engie, and I can assure you, thief is by far the most unbalanced class in this game. There is no class that can set up 13k backstab crits, and get away like a thief.
IMO, in order to fix thieves they need to remove the initiative system. It sets an uneven playing ground. Shadow refuge stealth killing blow is another thing that needs a nerf

If they red, they dead. No exceptions.
I camp puzzles all the time, it prevents the enemy teams from harvesting blueprints. It’s not worth creating a crybaby post on the forums about.

It’s threads like these that make me laugh. People getting legendaries just to sit around in LA and stroke their Epeen, crying about exploring WvW being part of the crafting.
Anet once again doing the best job it can at ruining their own game. Nice work gents
I disagree here. Different classes are, well, different. Just because you managed Level 746 on a Guardian doesn’t mean you could do it on a Mesmer.
Yeah… But the difference here is that when u level a character to 80 you generally have a clue about how to play the class, it’s not like people are crying that their lv 12 is not scaling to their main’s fractal lv. The people who make the argument you just did generally don’t have lv 80 alts
I have 6 80s , 2 past lv 20 fractals, the rest lv 1 fractals, and I refuse to do 1-10 again on my other 4 80s because none of my friends will do them, and it gives me a splitting headache teaching people to do them over and over again.
I can’t understand the reasoning behind not making it acct bound, alll they are doing is dissuading people from playing alts, and the game
Fractals pretty much halved the amount of people who wvw in tier 1 USA bracket now. So yes, fractals have ruined the game.
you can add tier 2 as well, there are more people on SoR doing FOTM than doing WvW…
Hey don’t worry though, they will look at wvw in February! That is also when I’m guessing we will see ascended quality gear in wvw as well. Lol by that time there will probably be more tumbleweeds in wvw than players.

Quit whining, portal bombing is preventable, people are just crappy at playing their classes.
-Mesmers, pop feedback and null field
-Guardians drop ring of warding and line of warding
-Necros, if you don’t have epidemic on your bar IDK wtf you are doing.
The problem is no one wants to play defensively in this game, everyone runs around with great swords and kitten. One guardian with a 2h hammer can easily prevent an entire zerg portal bomb.
L2P
L2Dodge or reflect, nothing needs nerfing here. Also, plant a tree, kill a hunter.
Why the hell are you naked and guildless in a JP? I’m assuming you are just creating lv 2’s to farm it over and over for badges for a legendary. If that’s the case, man up and get the badges like a real man so you can show off your pixels in LA.
If you are just dumb enough to trust people not to kill you because you are naked, well then I got a bridge to sell you.
It is becoming almost impossible to run fractals without having to put up with exploiters/hackers/bugabusers on my team. When it gets to the level of people walking through walls (like the increasingly popular dredge fractal exploit) it just starts to become ridiculous.
I’m often having to leave groups because of this, since I like actually playing the game instead of just bugging everything. I have also started to report people seriously abusing obvious bugs (like the dredge fractal walking-through-walls bs). However it seems that anet does not care at all – these kinds of bug should be hotfixed not left in the game for weeks. Soon it will be the case that I wont be able to run fractals anymore because I will just get kicked for not exploiting.
Fix this Anet!
You are like that kid in class who tells the teacher she forgot to collect the homework for the class, thanks for blowing us all in.
Guys, guys, why are you complaining. Didn’t you buy this game specifically for the promise of no/minimal grind?
The developers worked so hard so that you could enjoy this content over and over again, on each character, with no grind.
They made each level separate and are forcing you to go through each one so that there is no grind.Why so ungrateful?
Gooby are you trying to fool me again.
I tried to leave WoW, but now it has influenced this game into a gear treadmill.
Begun the Hamster wheel wars has.
I have 5 80s, because I get bored easily playing one character for a long time, and the fact that fractals are account bound is the number one reason I stopped doing them after level 10 on my warrior. It is near impossible to level my other 80’s up to 10, even with the gw2lfg site. I can’t believe Anet would pull this kitten.
I found a level 2 bot mining the rich orich vein on top of the spire in the new zone. I tried to get a picture closer, but I was getting killed. This bot was level 2. I managed to get him aggroed by the champion though.
I have a feeling this is being replicated all the time, and explains the sharp decline in orich prices since the event.
The reason progress is character bound is to promote the design philosophy behind the game. This includes: no grind; letting the player have fun; letting the player play the way they want to.
It’s quite obvious actually.
What a troll … again .. sarcasm for the win ey ?
And yes fractal difficulty is soulbound so you are not able to run difficulty 20 with your alt which has no gear, etc.
If gear is so importent, why are lv1’s upscaled to lv80 and can run it just fine?
This not being acount bound is silly, there is no good reason whatsoever for it and i consider it a simple oversight. Right up there with not being able to rejoin, inability to run this dungeon cross-instance (all have to be in the same (overflow) server) and other sillyness.
I expect this will eventually be fixed so it will be acount wide.
Protip, if you have a lv 1-79 in your group. You are carrying them. Being scaled up does not mean they have the trait points or skill unlocks.
I just wanted to make sure this was intended and not a bug. Are Fractal Levels not shared between characters on same acct?
As the title says, the Scythe skin from Halloween does not match up with Necro scythe on attack, it looks like 2 scythes at once. I am pretty sure this is the same bug for every race in the game. I will post a picture of the bug later if needed.
People are not dumb enough to stand in wells when I do Tpvp to make wells worthwhile.
I found having sigil of hydromancy on my weapons to perform a swap to be a reliable way to chill them so they stay in a well longer. Then hop into DS, dark path to them for another chill and root before dropping another well. Throw in some other attacks when you can to keep the pressure on them.
Not perfect but it helps, I would say use the flesh golem knockdown but for whatever reason he never goes the direction of my target most times. I dislike the dagger root because it takes to long but the chills and DS dark path when it connects at close range help alot. Dark path seldom connects for me though if they are further then 600 range because how slow the projectile is.
Well bombing is not my preferred way to play but it works well enough for me.
Meh I just found wells to be unreliable in tournaments compared to a conditionspec.

I can’t tell if people are trolling or just completely idiotic in this thread. It’s a pvp zone that drops pvp blueprints to use in pvp, if you get killed, deal with it.
Screw that, I camp that puzzle all the time. If they are red, they are dead.
Ascalon Catacombs also has a power/vit/tough set.
Crap, well I used a lot of badges, but it still looks sexy on my ele.
Necromancers are easily the most important class in WvW for their superiority in zerg vs zerg battles.
Example: I can stack 16-18 bleeds in a few seconds by myself, if a guardian pops “save yourselves” I can corrupt that into a whole heap of Aids, and then epidemic every single thing to a large group. After the initial epidemic I just pick one target who is already infected by the Aids bomb, and stack more bleeds until it is time for another epidemic.
I am a badge farming machine with 1600+ cond dmg, and no one really targets me because people still don’t understand how OP necros are.
Depends on your build. I almost have the entire set on my ele for bunkerelementalist. It helps a ton since it is the only full set to have power/vit/toughness.
I ran it about 21 times today, had no exotics until my last run dropped “The Crossing”
I agree with OP, and I feel bad for anyone who crafted it already….on the otherhand, I’m rocking a sexy staff.
Putting 40 exotic level 80 Staffs into the Mystic Forge and guess what happened?

Been trying to make twilight/dawn for the last month. I probably used over 5000 rare 80 swords all together. Wasted over 100g, and then I just gave up trying to forge it.
Then I used the remaining money I had ~35g to try and get a scythe skin from the black lion chests, and got 0 skins.
I am a statistic, screw RNG in this game.
Don’t do it….DOOOOONTT DO ITTTT.
Zoromoros has screwed me out of 100g+ trying to make the precurser, and now he is out to screw more people over.
Just save your boosters, DONT DOOOO ITTT
I doubt that anybody is making dependable profit on these items. None of them are game changers right now, and in the history of cosmetic markets, no item that is made available every year becomes hugely expensive on the trading post.
Give it about a month or 2 after the event ends, and I bet you the scythe will be worth 100g +, GW2 does not have the same fanbase as GW1, and the market is not comparable.
Should the skins be hard to get? Yeah, I think so, but I think they should have been a reward from the series of quests throughout the week, and you would only be able to chose 1 skin per character.
The chests in my opinion simply do not get people into the season, or force people to work together, they are simply a moneygrab tactic.
Personally I have used my last 20g I had saved on 25 chests, and I have nothing to show for it, and I have a feeling that the people who post things like “its random, you knew that when you tried it” are the same people who get skins on their first time. Please try going on a 25 chest coldstreak and saying that.
The way it stands right now, these skins are just another way for the rich elite people with tons of gold to hoard more items to sell at a later date for even more gold.
Judging by the last two matchups, I will now make a prediction of who CD will play next
Crystal Desert Vs “The 1976 Oakland Raiders” Vs “The 2000 Baltimore Ravens”
I, and my entire server are having trouble entering Citadel of flames explorer mode. The window pops up for XP mode, I click enter, and nothing happens.
I am on the crystal desert server.
