Guild Wars 2

There are synthezizer gathering nodes in our eb keep, that let you gather every 30s – is this fast refresh rate intended?

I’m absolutely impressed with the download speed so far.
I expected 2kb/s and a painfully slow download, but I get up to 3mb/s.
Very good job on this.

@Shuai: You won’t need the Guild Treck Unlock with HoT, so yes, better cancel it and build something else

@Chrisnx: Your friend maybe could speed up the achitecture lv4 to complete it before tomorrow (I got the same issue atm in one of my bank guilds)

The HoT zones are of course exactly what everyone wants to play, so everyone will try to get into them and has to download them.
I’m hyped to play the new stuff at Friday 9am, not to do a daily Tequatl.

@Colin

not specifically on this topic, but have to use the opportunity now that you’re here:

Can we please get information on how the rollout will happen? Will we have to try to download 5-10GB on Friday?
I’m sure many players would love to know about this.

ColinJohanson.2394:

You can however have people in different worlds running missions simultaneously for the guild that all contribute. They simply only need to have 3 guild members participating in the specific event for it to count towards the mission – regardless of which world.

As leader of a rather small, cross-server guild: this is great news!

These experience boosters are consumed immediately

why? what’s the thought behind it?

“ok, let’s quickly finish my daily” -> great, now I get +50% xp while just standing in Lions Arch to chat with someone or while I need to be afk for 10 minutes, without wanting to log out

Ok, at least someone who is happy with the situation

cillard.3986:

I will not being playing Friday night now or most of Saturday, nor will most of my guild. Most of us will simply not log into the game because we only play strictly for WvW.

This means you got something else to do that is enjoyable for you?
Fine, so there is no problem at all, noone will die.

Serious question:
In EU there are only very very few closed guild raids at reset. Most guilds who are raiding are just doing open raids, many aren’t raiding as a guild at all.
Is this different for NA resets?

Does anyone of you remember the times when EU reset was at 2am at the start of the game?
Used to be great action with enough commanders and players despite the time.

EVERY time has pros and cons, and there will ALWAYS be players who can’t/don’t want to play at a certain time.
For myself I’m not sure if I can keep my ~90%+ reset attendance. Doesn’t matter to me, if I can’t play reset, I’ll have something else enjoyable to do.
Sure it sucks for all those of you, who wouldn’t be able to play at the new reset time. No doubt.
But it seems many people here forget about those who can’t play at the reset time we have now. Same as Saturday, there are people who use Friday evenings to work, spend time with their failiy, go out,…
You cannot say “It’s kitten for everyone”, cause you don’t know everyone.

I want to ask you again not to go full rage mode and stop acting like a normal human being. Being upset does not mean you have to behave like a little, angry child. Put your pitchforks and torches away.
Please keep it as civil as possible and try to look for a constructive dialogue. Thanks.

Can you please all speak in a civilized tone and try to tone down your rage mode?
Even I as a player just roll my eyes and ignore every post that sounds like it’s written by someone who’s just rageing.

Please, try to be productive and find a solution and offer alternatives to satisfy even the SEA players.

First thanks for your response, John.

I still did not really understand why it’s necessary to make a change at all.

I’m surprised to read that there are more players playing on Saturdays than on Fridays, since Saturday evenings always felt a bit empty in WvW.
My biggest concern with the Saturday evening reset time was that Saturday would become the same boring karmatrain mess that Friday currently is (and which causes many many players not to play WvW on Friday pre-reset). (Second problem is, that many guilds and servers built a structure with meetings and raids around reset over the last 3 years)

The new reset time on Saturday lunch time is in my opinion definitely better than Saturday evening, it promises a lot of action on Saturday afternoon. It surely has great potential to be a good time for the reset.
However I can completely understand that some people don’t like it, because of the fact that it might collide with having lunch with their families. Imagine the situation when half of the people who got into the map immediately take half an hour break to go to eat

I wish it could stay on Friday, but if I had to choose between Saturday evening and Saturday lunch time, I’d choose the latter.

TL;DR: Friday > Saturday lunch > Saturday evening. Change has potential to be fun, but there will be unhappy people.

Sure, we downloaded some files already, but I imagine there’s still a lot missing such as pve maps, the wvw map, the story,…

As we know HoT launches at the 23rd.
So my question is: Is there any information yet when we’ll be able to download the files? I’m asking because I think we all hope we don’t have to download some GB of files at release day with impressive 2kb/s cause of overloaded servers.

Hope there’s already some information, that I missed out or we can get an answer from Gaile or a dev on this.

My alt is finally lvl 60 ! It’s time to break some kitten , don’t run from me ! xD

A-of-T! A-of-T! A-of-T! Quality gameplay since 2006.

if the one and only maeggle, the greatest of all kodashis, hero of hundreds, no, thousands of (forum-)fights, was the afk-ranger, you would not have had a chance, truebanana!

you definetly should!
moarrrr drama plz!!!1111!!!!

Nice week, good fights, much loot and happy blobbing everyone.

happy queue everybody

it´s just too funny what jade and augury are doing on eb right now
3 times the same till now…

jade → golanta → wipe
augury → wildcreek → cheat arrow cart → wipe

gg

nice week, good fights, good pvd (and good running) everyone

lost all respect for DEX (and the jade-blob following them), cause of using all this cheat-arrowcarts in jade-border-bay, while having 6 omegas and outnubering us 2:1. very poor guys, very very poor…
but at least you were nice enough to give us tons of sweet sweet loot.

great afternoon on piken-border and great evening on jade-boarder
let´s see what the night brings^^

Lets hope for tons of loot and of course for good fights in the forum and on the battlefields.

here we go

more very very interesting text to reach 15 chars

And everybody on Kodash is like: “Yeaaaaaahhh”

looks like kodash will start with 4matches on the red side in a row
and no kodash-elona-riverside qq

or: the battle for the 8th place in the league – kodash vs augury rock^^

thx to the [slav] guild for the great fun at bluevale refuge on kodash bl

greets
the guy with the ballistas

Don´t know if anybody has posted this yet, but it looks like i spent millions of supply while i was asleep last night
Got the achievement, but not the title QQ

We fight for a whole week and all we get are 1-3 lousy rank-up-chests with 10-20s and 1 green in it?

think i need to invest 30 minutes in tequatl to get 1gold + guaranteed gold drops…
doesn´t seem too fair to me

playing drunk is still enough to farm sfr-bags

to keep it short: rofl

this has potential to be a very nive matchup – no vizunah, no sfr, no riverside, no elona, no piken, no jade

nice fights on aurora bl so far, but you TUP guys really are strong as hell. it feels like you got stronger every time we´ve met you^^ (was part of the FoF+friends-group)

finally a ladder with kodash as nr1, yeah

stiello.1875:

Fryggenbart come join with your Guild on desolation :P

so we should get our 1000+ playeres (most of them pve-only) and transfer? might be the solution to everything, as SFR showed us

Holm.7058:

If you think your server can beat SFR but lack numbers, then get numbers.

Any guilds here, that want to leave SFR to join Desolation or Kodash?
Is that the solution you suggest to us, Holm? :P

And pls: If you have the problem, that you dislike your opponents not having players on borders, pls don´t whine and complain on the forums, solve the problem.
thx

maeggle.6021:

If you stumble upon a bigger group of [WdR], don’t be afraid

100% agree with that :P

(noobs, hm?)

don´t know if they will stay for another week, now that we again face a server with that much possible gvgs

the last message from vanz was a bit like saying goodbye:

“More importantly, we would like to thank the people of Kodash for hosting us these past few weeks. Kind and respectful, many even went as far as using English in /m just for our guild. We wish your server all the success possible in future matches.”

i really enjoy to watch some of the gvgs, but i think some of you guys go way too far with complaining.
there´s too much qq here
50 status points make the fights a little bit unequal, but it´s not the world… so stop qq, start fighting!

a gvg mode would be nice, but general wvw is more important. you have to accept that the gvg-community is still a minority compared to all randoms, smallscalers, wvw-fokused-but-not-gvg-guilds, …
i also think some of you overestimate your importance for wvw. for example my server, kodash, has no gvg-guild and wvw is still alive here. (yes, we have VII since two weeks, but i havent seen too much of them when they were not fighting gvg. they are not of any importance for kodash-wvw)
one or two servers would become weakened if some gvg guilds quit, but wvw will go on with or without you

shame on kodash & aurora that they went to sleep when the canadian invasion came Oo

Riverside and Piken blob sizes are ridiculous and make the game un-enjoyable for everyone with 24/7 skill lag, Seriously is there any need to run around with the whole server like that?

it looks like all your servers have very much more (successful) zerg fights, than my server
here you get 80% of your wxp by pvd

i also would like a giant chest that gives you one promised rare item + 15s after capping a tower.

how could we forget the colours?
sry for all the complaining, the new colours are enough to keep us happy for the next months

uh, and i have another one: one super-duper-mastery, coming with every update
can´t wait for golem mastery: golems can place acs and catapults whereever they want for free

and more wxp for capturing towers isn´t unfair for servers with low wvw-population who get karmatrained by servers with high wvw-population all day?

wvw is never fair, but i can´t understand why you get 200wxp for killing the ice worm (-> pve), while you get maximum 60 (if the foe does not die too often) for a kill (-> pvp)

the system is fail
everybody who is scouting and defending gets nothing, while the zerg gets wxp en mass for capping wodden towers. we need a solution for that or wvw will just become even more stupid karmatrain, than it is now

players, commanders…. everybody does the pve-zerg this days

wvw needs some love and it needs it quite soon. hope it happens with the next build

We have seen an Increase for most things in the recent update. But why do we still get only maximum 60wxp for a kill?
killing a dolyak, that does absolute nothing to defend itself gives you 50wxp. killing a NCP-sentry and cap the point gives you 100wxp. getting the dredge or the hylek gives you 200. this is pve-content!
WvW is a PvP-mode so killing other players should be more rewarding than killing stupid NPCs.
Why was there no increase in world-xp for kills, Devon Carver?

And by the way…. i would like to have a 5% or 10% more wxp infusion for the omni-infusion-slot. would be more useful for me than 20% mf.

is it jade and vizunah we fight, or is ist desolation and piken?
feels the same atm^^

→ don´t attack it

last week saturday: outmanned on every border
this week: queue on every map

it´s an invasion of winning-team-joiners on kodash so far and this makes it extreme boring. everything they want to do is a 70+blob to karmatrain all over the map

not much fun against such outgunned opponents
