Guild Wars 2

‘Turtling’ is the name of the game. After 60mins, give up on ever taking that tower.

You have to contend with flying turtles, rampaging charr and the instant waypoint teleporting in the defending zerg while you attack an invulnerable gate with your disabled siege.

This swings the pendulum so far towards the defenders, the first hour after reset is the only time you have a hope of capturing anything. Then just dig in for a week of TURTLE v TURTLE.

What a sick joke.

Naive plan led by a guild that lacks influence.

Best bet for OCX action has and will always be Tier 1.

Yes because moving to tier 1 which is full might I add to fight 60 man blob guilds is the best plan of action. Great suggestion mate I’m sure to take it into consideration

Lacks influence aye oh boy lel

The plan seems to be:

1. Spread a few OCX guilds out over a dead tier with no prospect of recruitment
2. Have no dialogue, influence or connections with SEA
3. Wait for profit

All based on the hope that someone remembers seeing your old guild tag occasionally on BG that one time.

Naive plan led by a guild that lacks influence.

Best bet for OCX action has and will always be Tier 1.

I currently have excess skill points on my character as well as skill point books. Are both being converted into spirit shards?

What just happened to BG Garrison?

Did Jameszay retire? He was freaking epic.

This topic is the best one so far!

All Asura are horribly disfigured upon creation.

Wouldn’t killing the spiders be a good thing?

A good commander will make use of a ranger if he really has to, but he will always ask them if they have an alt first.

Isaac.6041:

But there are a few things that still need to be addressed like queues before megaservers is rolled out into WvW.

There are no queues with megaservers. The system simply creates another instance of the map and starts filling that one.

I haven’t seen the flying/teleporting Golem guy in a while.

SToP and Ph are missing from JQ, maybe others.

All those condi hammer warriors and condi guardians?

Wagonbots, roll out!

All games have quirks, but this game is often a chore simply for lack of polish.

Rillen.7642:

I’ve been doing some calculations, if you where to persue your Ultimate Conqueror title (1.000.000 objectives taken) I think the most perfect way of doing this would be to have a neverending (2 years straight) capathon around your own third on EB including SM.

One round of capping your corner would give you the following:
2 camps
3 sentries
4 towers
1 keep
1 castle

This totals in 11 objectives each “lap”. Wich would result in you having to do 90909 laps for the title of Ultimate conqueror. But to for good mesure and getting the keep achievemnt we would do 100.000 laps (becouse who doesnt want to max their respective titles for objective, camps, towers, keeps, and castles in one go)

So we do 100.000 laps around this course. For this to be as efficiant as possible we only want the titles on 1 person meaning we have 2 mapzergs from 2 serves cooperating around the clock. Mesmers portal the player around the course, while others just stand in towers flipping them back and forth, giving the lucky Ultimate Conqueror to be a chance to tap the lord/supervisor/sentry before every cap.
The best time for one lap would probably be around 11minutes because of buffed lords and cap times.

that would put the total time required for this at about 763 days of 24/7 perfected karmatraining.

Rewards:
Not only would you be getting:
Ultimate Conqueror – 1.000.000 objectives
Ultimate Raider – 100.000 camps – 200.000 total
Ultimate Aggressor – 100,000 towers – 400.000 total
Ultimate Subjugator – 100,000 keeps
Ultimate Liberator – 25.000 castles – 100.000 total

but also a whopping:
2,73e10 XP = 107.633 skillpoints
410.000.000 Wxp = rank 82.000 (you would get The title of supreme ruler of guild wars)
697.000.000 karma = You are definitely be higher ranked then god when your reborn
331.000 gold from caps alone.
600.000 champbags.

So who’s up for the ultimate, biggest, greatest Karmatrain in guild wars history?

PS: to fuel this thing you would probably need to pay ppl to help you out so you need to pay 160 ppl for 763 days which is right aroud 3 million work hours at about 10 Euros an hour your looking at about a 30 million Euro investment.

If your lucky with champbags and convert karma, skillpoints and everything else to gold and then pay your workes in gems you may actually break even (havent done any numbers though)

Probably the best post on this forum. I love the theory-crafting.

Set development engines to Arenanet Speed!

Adding another vote for Power/Precision/Vitality (major)

(Vitality version of Knights)

1) Skills: A] Situational awareness (what is actually going on around me?), B] multi-tasking (managing boons, condition, HP, stamina, etc), C] reflex reactions (movement, condition management, interrupts, skill ‘rotation’. etc)

2) Approximate game time: A] 100 hours, B] 200 hours, C] 300 hours (a factor of the first two)

3) A laser mouse with moderate (or better) fidelity, adjustable sensitivity, 6 or more buttons, and placed on a reliable responsive surface. A keyboard with sturdy construction and responsive keys with some feedback. Microphone headset with external VOIP software for group play. Monitor with good contrast. Hardware system capable of steady in-game frame-rate of 30 FPS (minimum).

4) Many external factors are involved such as; the player’s previous gaming experience, group participation and group size, single player (PvE) vs mutliplayer (PvP), VOIP communication. Internal factors would include; repetition of similar in-game activities, the game’s GUI, visual/audio cues, the role the player’s character is performing, etc

5) B

Repair costs, account-bound dyes, PvE skin locker, anywhere trait resets, etc are issues that have been heavily discussed since beta and always rejected by Anet. Now China is coming and they all get fixed? Not a single mention of something like ‘thanks for your loyalty playing GW2, here are the changes you’ve called for’, no all we get is “With the China launch coming up, there is no better time than now for us to improve the economy of the game.”

Added FEATURES would be things like additional weapon options (even just existing weapons transposed to off-hand/main-hand/another class), new zones, new skills, new class/race?

This patch is simply a QoL improvement that takes some of the annoyance out of the game. We’ve already fought/worked around/dealt with these issues for 1.5 years. We’ve already got skins on all our characters.

There is nothing in this patch that gives me a goal to work towards, or a reward to look forward to. If anything – it speeds up my completion so I can tick off a few last remaining pieces and quit the game…

Arenanet must’ve sold enough boxes, because they are trying hard to discourage new players from joining.

Official BG Statement:

“We have no queues.”

Yes please thank you.

The real joke comes when the patch hits in all its massive buggy glory.

Virindiira.1025:

There are much more important stuff to do then making account wxp.

Like changing the WvW team colours again? That was the best ‘content update’ ever!

Grumpdogg.6910:

Another patch, another lie.

I hate being right again

Commander should be able to draw and ping the map for the entire squad. Just add it in with that big commander/squad update you said you were going to do…

lol.

Officer chat channel for guilds

On the regular WvW maps in Tier 1, it’s now impossible to find even a half decent fight AND the PPT is even more meaningless than ever – rendering the entire gamemode boring for all involved.

Is the future of WvW really bouncing between EOTM overflows, seeing if there’s anyone else there, making sure your whole group gets in the same one, etc…

Now that SoR are 100% EOTM only, it’s kinda irrelevant who has left or who is left.

DivineBeing.2086:

BG does indeed have a warchest for the guilds part of the war council (all major WvW guilds) for this particular reason.

Siege 5%
Buying guilds 95%

The biggest double standard is that they have always maintained that there was nothing wrong with the queues…

Nice vid.

I would love a link to the build please

Judging by the bug-riddled launch of today’s WvW updates, the WXP delay is a design decision not a testing decision.

They happily release bugged features regularly.

1000 * 0 = 0

My chances of an ascended drop from a rank chest have remained the same!

You can:

• EOTM
• Slap yaks
• Scout tower/keep
• Open-field scout

It’s a shame they won’t admit their lie on their own site, but at least it’s out there now.

http://massively.joystiq.com/2014/01/30/guild-wars-2-edge-of-the-mists-qanda-with-devon-carver/

While account-bound World XP was originally intended to go live along with EotM, the highly anticipated change will not be making it into next week’s release.

I can’t believe Arenanet officially endorse that cesspit.

They could add proper raiding to this game so easily using their existing instancing, overflow and scaling technology. But, they don’t want to.

So we continue to count down the days until the next few MMOs are released…

The main reason vertical progression arose in this game is because horizontal progression failed hard due to terrible armour skins.

Another patch, another lie.

Unfortunately the evidence mounts. Arenanet stated that the account-bound WXP change would be tested as part of the Edge of the Mists map testing.

The Edge of the Mists testing has been “concluded”. These WXP changes were not tested…

When the pre-launch marketing and hype campaign finished, the Manifesto’s job was done.

Some say it lives in a locked cabinet, ready for the day an expansion is announced…

2020. The year after they add all those news skills they promised.

Isn’t the next update already late?

Arenanet online advertisements boasted of updates every two weeks. Lawsuits incoming.

They have multiple teams of people working on pointless living story updates. I doubt anyone is even assigned to fixing their WXP mistake yet.

Do any WvW guilds run condition necros? Wellomancer is the meta.

@OP This is the WvW forum, not sPvP.

The thread title is a bit misleading considering the lack of discussion concerning WWII Germany and their plans of that era.

Unless they are back on an NA server, they aren’t really ‘back’ for the purposes of this forum. EU is EU.
