Guild Wars 2

pvp at the moment is one major failure as it is. It’s easier for them to erase topics and ignore a crap ton of problems or pretend they don’t exist. If half a dozen internet builds can dominate over majority of others, there’s something wrong with the game.

Can’t save it with those lame rank-point weekends.

talking about trolls from other servers, not to mention “spies”

Trodgor, thank you for your declaration of brilliance. i think you’re the smartest person i have ever met.

^

what were you guys thinking? :/

lmao. so basically you want the whole team to stand on one point for 5 minutes and get 300 points flat. How cute

what’s esport? sounds like an excuse for fat people, lol.
They gonna make eating hamburgers sport too? ; ))

oh yea, not to mention situations when you wait for 10 minutes then it says “it’s your turn” and it bugs out, not porting you anywhere, arena stays empty and you have to relog.

i agree, the challenge itself is pretty interesting, but i guess anet is just losing grip on customers, can’t keep them genuinely interested anymore, so they have to come up with this kind of crap. Some minigames suck so bad that anet has to set achievements to 25 games to keep rooms at least half full. Like dragon ball for example.
Other examples – Survival… you get 10…0 countdown, and then another 10-15seconds of listening to the same annoying voice over and over again. Seriously?
And same thing with gauntlet. They want us to sit and stare in the monitor for 5-10minutes just to enter a 1minute fight? Maybe they don’t want it to be farmable, but with all the farming train running through destroyer room just below, i’m pretty sure that 99.9% of players would agree to no reward at all from that gauntlet just to save their time waiting.

I know, ear-flopping lemmings’ main argument will be “Nobody’s forcing you to play gauntlet”, so don’t bother mentioning it. For now, gauntlet sucks big time. Thank you.

i’ve seen that thing with teleporting…
last week’s wvw against ehmry bay, had 3 of them running exactly same path, likely led by a player, don’t know what calss, followed by a warrior and an engie(supposedly bots). They were moving at about 150% normal speed, teleporting forward every few ‘ingame yards’. I managed to attack the last one, and guess what, my speed reduced due to entering the combat, his didn’t.. so it took me about 3 minutes of chasing that bot, constantly using Shortbow⁵ on thief to catch up, he didn’t do anything, just ran exactly same path those two ahead of him, jumping where they did, shifting where they did until he eventually got downed. Didn’t do anything even then, just kept trying to channel Downed⁴…

i will gladly abuse the crap out of rejuvenation.
that norn belcher is complete bs….

Agreed. This new system is an absolute trash.
Most of the current brackets have a server that has over 50% of all points, meaning distribution is close to 50/25/25. (Or has a server that has ~3 times less points than the leading one).
They may post as much bs as they want about how good this system is or might be, but my server that had nearly 24h coverage and fun wvw has now “undermanned” buff most of the day, it’s been like that for the past 2 weeks, even home bl is virtually empty.

Why not just get rid of their crappy ranking points system and go with brackets? Easy and simple. Servers that finish 1st. go one tier up and take the 3rd place there. Servers that finish 3rd, go one tier down and take the 1st place there. That way every server will have new opponents every week, except the last and the first tiers, where they will only have 1 new server each week.

For now anet, play your kitten wvw yourselves, taking a long break from your broken game just like many others.
RNG in a ranking system… Pour some milk in your beer and try it.

kokocabana.8153:

You have to adjust the WvW quality settings on the number of detailed models shown. The first one is how many players to display on screen and the second is how many of the displayed players do you want to see their actual detailed armor appearance. I would suggest starting at medium/medium and then adjusting it up and down based on what you like.

i’ll try that.

to me, it’s an obvious bug. It wasn’t that way before the update. You can still choose between “Show enemy team colors”, “Show all team colors”, “Show none”. But these options just don’t work. If they wanted it that way, i’m quite sure they would simply make them not clickable for the ‘Best Performance’ settings.

just noticed. Even humanoid minis that wear armor (Seraph, Svanir, Balthazar) start wearing team colored Ascalon Catacombs looking armor with shoulderguards and helmets. Come on, guys… :/

I play on a laptop, and whenever i’m in wvw, i set my video settings to “Best performance” after the 4/30 update, i logged and found out that settings reset to “Show enemy colors only”. I tried changing it to “Show no team colors” ( [None] in the settings) and it only made it show both, allies and enemy colors. I switched to higher settings and it was working just fine, but when i set it back to ‘Best performance’ it went back to [Show all team colors] instead.
Fix this please.
Seeing all those blue/red/green masses with all their helmets and shoulderguards (Even though they have them disabled, they don’t show on higher settings) just makes this look ugly, killing every desire to play.

Please remove this broken piece of kitten map from rotation since within 2-3minutes after match begins it starts causing massive lag spikes that look like connection issue, kicking good half if not all players out of the game. Usually it’s just 5-7 of us there at the moment i get disconnected myself and thrown to the character selection screen.

P.S. and no, little baby trolls, it’s not my connectivity issues, majority of players complains about this.

I say craft. Chance for precursor is quite small, so it will take you quite a lot of rares normally. Took me 130g worth of crafting materials, total about 400++ crafted shortbows. If you think you can get that amount at the minimal TP price in a short period of time, then go ahead, but in the long run, and realistically speaking – just craft it.

Rannug.2731:

Staff 2 (Phase Retreat) will retreat mesmers (pull them back to gain distance). this on occasion has put me up onto things behind me, also killed me and got me stuck in mountains several times. This may have been what you have witnessed.

yea, looked more like what you describe here. anyway. pulling him/herself against an angled surface, shoots a player upwards.

I saw a person literally climbing up the wall. After he appeared several times on our wall spammed clones and eventually was forced to run, i started watching him, until he did it again. He used blink or some other skill to propel himself towards that bent wall base bouncing off it upwards and landing on the wall.

guild tag was something like [FTB]… started with “f”, 3 letters, and word “Badges” in the guild name.
porting in is not necessarily a crime indeed, but climbing up the wall, throwing a portal and bringing a ton of people in to capture without breaking gates or wall is quite nasty imho…

ok. just saw a mesmer repeatedly appearing in a tower we were defending, i started watching him, saw him kind of propelling himself forward while standing on the wall base which is built at some angle as we all know, that made him sort of bounce upwards and land on our wall.

I don’t think i need to explain consequences of such people using portals once they glitch in…

yak mesmers are glitching up the tower walls and inside towers..
clap-clap.. pathetic.

sell for 4-5s each, and don’t show off with something most fractal runners got themselves 2 months ago.

Shear Force.9154:

I’m just going to say this, and probably get crucified by most of the people.
Isn’t that kind of, pay to win?
I know you can take a ranger, but what if I don’t want a ranger, I automatically need to get gems.

no, you automatically don’t have to do crap. They didn’t limit you to 38 levels of fractals correspondingly to currently available agony resistant gear and you are already whining about them making you buy gems. pathetic.

randomfightfan.4091:

I know there are a lot of bad thieves out there but when you have a truely good thief in your party, one that really knows the class, they can bring more to the group then any other class. Many people probably believe this but yet every day I see dozens of lfgs saying no thieves. Even in cof p1 farm teams straight up kick my thief(and obviously others) just cause of the bad stigma. People just don’t seem to care that other classes can bring in more than whAt they assume.

well
1) One thing – bad thieves indeed die too much
2) Even in that CoF1, thieves don’t contribute to the party as a whole. Warriors share banner buffs,shout buffs. Thieves just consume. In CoFp1. warriors are much much much(….^10) better than thieves for sure.

why don’t you guys think about how all the other people got them? not everyone exploited MF or Southsun Cove event. Many people actually gambled for them, got them as regular drops, etc. The reason prices grow so fast is 1) last update, that makes it easier to farm T6 materials. 2) The fact itself that most of those exploited precursors have been sold and turned into actual legendaries, so the supply decreased significantly.

There was a cool exploit you could do with the godskull sword, which was a really cheap item to craft.

I think it was something like 1x level 78 + 3x lvl 65 godskull would give you a chance at a lvl 80 rare / exo.

People made hundreds and hundreds of combines using that and got quite a few precursors.

Then there was the time that Anet priced some rare weapons from the norn karma vendor at 21 karma instead of 21000, you could chuck that in the forge for more chances at precursor…

Yeah… a lot of people got them early on, now the major loopholes and exploits are fixed it’s harder, much harder. For those of us that didn’t cheat in the beginning to get rich it’s basically impossible.

Thank you, cap, i generalized this as MF exploit.
So you’re basically complaining about others having legendaries, not them being so hard to get… boo.

+1
keep bumping the topic. must be heard.

Ascended rings can be bought with Fractal —-—>DAILY<———- rewards which are pristine relics! Backpieces have to be crafted from expensive materials or purchased with Fractal relics, you need 2850 of them for a final version of fractal capacitor which is a lot of work.
See any difference?
Visible ones for Laurels, yeah, right……

maybe the rune itself was for some reason soulbound? as if you salvaged it from another soulbound item or something like that?

Todd.8162:

A critical … heal?

yup.. and critical medkits are coming soon i bet xD

another good solution for you, my friend –
get exotics, lol
you’re asking no nerf or buff certain attributes in the game because you got killed while running wvw half naked. jeez

lmao.
there’s a reason karma-purchased items are soul/account bound, don’t you think so? Karma is a complementary reward, you’re not meant to make easy money off it, the reason they are bound items is that they aren’t meant to be sold.
But yeah, since you just got your second one, lets change everything, lol

again. it’s completely optional. don’t do it if you don’t like it.

—Especially— on the full server, with a lot of people moving around the map, stationary dynamic events are pointless.

can say for sure that quagan skin will not transfer, because you put an item into MF, add components and get completely different item as a result, this can be checked by the fact, that it will ask you whether you want to soulbind it or not.

no, thank you. ill rather have bots i don’t care about around me, than have pop-up windows popping on my screen every few minutes.

-Let people earn ranks in WvW – you have your wvw achievement tab tracking kills, points defended, and points conquered. that’s enough of a rank

-Each rank can have a distinctive utility or elite skill. – NO. again this bs suggesting people doing certain things get advantage such unique content/skills over people not interested in doing this.

-Only one Rank 1 per Homeworld less people rank 2 etc.
-Chance to someone dethrowned from rank1 like Aion ranking.
-Give every player statistics alla Battlefield3 so the can see their performance.
Sounds entirely pointless to me.

-Give Guilds a purpose to Defend the Keeps. – they do have a purpose, have you even played wvw?

as i said, solution is simple. just ask people to link their rings and back. kick if they refuse or lack pink.

handy. ta very much

no * million for mounts
no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no and no.

Zaxares.5419:

Don’t change it please. Slaughtering helpless critters is the only way I can reliably progress the Weapon Master achievement for vastly underpowered or little-used weapons like Focii or Shields. XD

another trick for you.

ballistas count towards staff kills

Deimos Tel Arin.7391:

FKwrong.9104:

what if i have axe+mace as one set, and sword+torch as another set, how dumb would that be?

this could be easily fixed by having the extra sets of weapons on the back.

need new animations for drawing weapons and putting weapons away perhaps.

this is a good aesthetic upgrade!

not really. sounds as stupid as wearing a rifle, a staff or a longbow on your side…

Daecollo.9578:

Buff Toughness, Nerf Protection.

sounds great to me

again. do it at your own pace. Why are you expecting to get them as fast as people who play every day, if you don’t want to play every day? make some sense please.

guardians have outstanding survivability if they utilize their traits and skills correctly, no class is meant to survive by standing and doing nothing, just absorbing damage. You were just caught off guard, that’s it. If you died from 3-4 hits, that thief would have died from 1 such hit. I have both, a thief and a warrior with tons of toughness coming from knight’s gear. There’s huge difference between damage i take on either character from the very same monsters.

and tri-weekly and bi-monthly please too, lmao

Indoles.1467:

This essentially falls under the suggestion that we need a way to view other players stats. So some players will reject this and others will want it. I want it to happen and don’t know why it wasn’t in the game on release.

well, some of us use not-google-grabbed builds, i personally put my builds together from the scratch and never share my traits,gearsets etc with other people unless friends/guildies, i wouldn’t like anyone to view my skills and gear, but i’m fine with showing my backpiece and rings.

Agree on that.
Until it’s solved, just ask them to link rings and back piece. Rings have to be infused, this at least proves that they ran fractals a lot and are at some 20-ish scales. Backpiece gotta have at least 1 slot, but not necessary infused, because not everyone can simply afford that. Even before the update there were too many people screwing up 26 – 30 runs on colossus map, i’m definitely not running fotm with people wearing exotics.

what if i have axe+mace as one set, and sword+torch as another set, how dumb would that be?
