Guild Wars 2

So whats with skyhammer farmers getting their DRAGONS soon? Anet any words on it please?

God, bring back HALF of this stuff, the next day mist serwers will be swarmed like never before. Like, my whole gw1 guild is waiting for something like that.

what?
i left by myself ONCE, still got that kitten

Pls tell me someone is recording it, really want to check that out but short of time :*(

Lord Hammer Hand.4815:

i believe things like this happen at the lower MMR because they dont care if they win or lose, higher MMR tend to not RQ faster hence you barely have 4v5 unless a Dced happen during match.

i was between 190 and 200, now obviously lower after all that loses. Is that low?

Because of 4v5. Im not complaining about rating, cuz mine is so low after that loses so i even have no rights to complain.
Im just asking, why cant we start a match when aNyone is here and loaded?
If theres direct answer from devs to my question, link me pls.

i remember last yeah there were 2 presents – one was in la and one in the heart of the mists, containing bag with special skin, back item and some sort of other stuff.
Wont we get something like this this year? Im askin not because i want shinies, but because im leavin soon and i dont want to miss something cool.

wait, it was already there, and since gw2 engine = gw1 engine with some cream on top of it, i dont really see the reason why cant we have that feature. Like, just port it.
p.s. And while portal door is still up, don’t forget to throw gvg and ha in it.

I missed Ready Up stream, did they mention if we should keep our chests or just salvage them now?

Well Random Arena…that has nothing to do with arena style gameplay, so it is misleading for newbies.

lilz shorty.1879:

They havent done anything for sPvP besides add a solo que lol. Anet is so bad when it comes to releasing stuff in a timely manner for PvP. Its embarassing.

You do realize that GW2 is a PvE focused game unlike GW? If you want better PvP then go back to GW and play some GvG, HoH, TA, etc.

Gvg – dead
Ha – dead
Ta – dead and even deleted lol
So whats etc. You are talking about? And how is that etc. Is supposed to be playable on that old laggy server?

http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/473/view/news/read/28445/Guild-Wars-2-The-Super-Adventure-Box-Returns-September-3rd.html

Anet, could you pls tell us could we craft a Legendary Precursor after patch? Yes\no we rsrly need an answer.

And what does that mean if yes

so you are complaining about thing that is just the way you want(confirmed)

Geff.1930:

There is no karma or gold sink for PvP’ers they don’t need to repair or use waypoints. I’m not saying they should make sinks. I’m just trying to point out the fact that with your suggestion PvP’ers will just keep accumulating these currencies.

Theres no glory sink. As well as karma sink.
You may go to LA(not that hard, Theres even portal yay!) and spend ur gold gearing ur pve char for mmmhm wvw lets say.

… Is just what we need.
Actual reward for participating(not winning) in candidate minigames(arena or survival) is a chest with:
1k of karma
~9silver
1 green or better pve item
So my idea is to give the same reward for playing tourneys. It wont break the economy since it is still fine with same rewards for minigames, instead it will give us what we need – more sence to play.
Discuss and sry for bad english

Keep getting Pve boosters and stuff, also gold and laurels. WHAT DA HELL ANET?! Im pvp only so stop offending my feelings giving me free pve stuff!

laughable how ppl are complaining because of it.

Krakah.3582:

bhagwad.4281:

Lots of people here agree that PvP in GW1 was far superior to what we have here. And we had plenty of rewards. Chests for consecutive wins that had the possibility to drop awesome stuff, Zaishen keys using which you could open the zaishen chest for even more cool gear, a whole bunch of accomplishments and bragging rights.

“Fun” is nice, sure. But rewards are better.

Agreed GW1 PvP format is much more competitive.

Do not agree it was about the minor rewards. The majority of competitive PvP GW1 players used PvP only toons so the rewards were moot after full skill unlock.

Bragging rights are earned from community recognition, be it GvG, HoH, RA.

-[LLJK]/[DONG]

Yeah and when competitive dedicated gw1pvp player will decide to play some pve, he will simply sell his keyz and Hoh chest loot, buy some fancy pve stuff and that will be his reward for dedication and time spent. And in gwII… nothing much to say
INB4 wth are u talkin bout theres a chance to get abyssal dye!

so
Customs are up but i cant join cuz they are full(sure they are) and cant observe cuz they are full(why do you need a slot to just watch? )
AM i takin it right and theres no content exactly for me right now?

Check eu ladder, which is 97% desolation

Manthas.6234:

You probably noticed that dredge seem to have Russian names.
What is more, Sorrow’s Embrace is a dungeon about Moletariat and revolution of the working class, a reference to Proletarian revolution.
So, dredge – communists?

As a russian guy i must add some dredge references since, in developers minds ,we are moles here^^my faourite is Dostoev Sky Peak, which is obvious reference to my favourite writer.

Well i would split team for d/d ele and guard pushing orb and necro with some aoe support who will blow ppl up(i noticed that ppl in gw2 usually dont give a kitten about positioning so they will ball up on orb altar quite often). Yeah and 2 roamers. I usually just ask my mates to play the way they feel it and roam with whatever profession they like to, but let’s just say there will be ranger(one more condition-heavy guy) and one more ele since they are op anyway. So necro must carry some aoe for points and altar(staff i guess) and some cc abilities.

HiSaZuL.2843:

Its less about build and more about team. The idea unlike with spvp is to actually win not farm the most glory. In that effect its a matter of team fitting together or working together. If entire team of ranged faces entire team of warriors you are going to get slaughtered.
Mobility is important in tpvp for being there to save your teamates/cap points or defend points much more so then leave a tank to guard 1 point when other team can just grab orb and drag it back and forth and end up winning only holding 1 point but being much more mobile.
If you join it at random its completely luck dependent.

Totally right, i agree with your point. So, to clear things up, i am forming team to play some tpvp and i wanted to maximise my ability to be worth a crap on spirit watch as a necro.

Wassup Necro community.
I’m quite new when its coming to necromancer builds\tactics\other stuff. Atm i want to start playing toyrneys with my necro, and i want some experienced pvp-necros to give me some tips on how to play necro on Spirit watch(current 1vs1 pvp map), maybe some builds\traits which are good on this map.
Any suggestions are welcome and i’ll be very grateful for any kind of help.

What do you guys think about something like Black Lion Nostalgia Box, which contains one of old skins (like Storm Bow, chaos axe, and other oldschool stuff)?
I think that will be cool, also this could be easily attached to gw ’s franchise birthday(28 of april) like a gift for everyone who remember+ good moneymaker

Heya im looking for EU uncontested

WvW is not pvp so playing it you will stay pve-exclusive player.

so you want that shmexy 2 sec cast time and 100 energycost heals?
or maybe a hammerwar with frenzy?
Talking serious this is never going to happen. Trust me, ppl are asking many companies to do so(like OMGGIMME OFFICIAL VANILLA WoW). And even since this idea is popular there is no way developers would split their gaming community. Think about it, that vanilla half would never ever buy an add-on or an expansion, they will just play they old game untill tired and lost interest in it(which is soon cuz no new content right?)

Harain.9137:

bad luck i guess: the 4 world boss chests i got today (3 dragons + behemoth) all had 1 or 2 rares

AFAIK 1 rare is guaranteed after patch, thats why im reporting.

Just finished full Frozen Maw chain (for the first time ever, even got an achievement) for 1 medallion and 2 blues.

just chesk out screen
no i didn’t kill him earlier today
not with this char nor other

Tyrantis.8640:

All I am saying is waiting around for a group to do a dungeon (especially Arah) is not fun at all.

Just as we can Queue up for a sPVP match, we should be able to do this for the dungeons.

I just think it is the most friendly option and waiting around stinks… we can all agree on that.

If you disagree, please explain how it would ‘ruin’ the game. Social reasons, RP reasons don’t hold a lot of water with me, but feel free to go that route if you would like.

So how do you finish a dungeon if there will be 5 random glassy players with no support or heal or cc just full p\p\c rare gear?
LFG system requires strict roles which we dont have in this game.

Jason King.2647:

Hey everyone, I’m here to help clear up some of the confusion on this issue!

First, our apologies for the inaccurate response: your system clock does not affect your loot drops (sorry, conspiracy theorists). We’ve corrected this information for future responses.

If you’re not receiving loot from a champ/vet, it’s most likely because you’re not getting kill credit. We’re currently working on some improvements to this so that it will be easier to get rewards when you kill a creature.

Thank you for bringing this up!

kill creddit = exp.
yes or no?
short answer pls

We were promiced that our current achievement points will be converted in laurels sometime.
So I want to know will we see this feature in uncomming update, which i heard will be there 02\26\2013.

So once again why should my reward be bad if i actually like this exact event chain and want to repeat it once\twice\9k times?

GvG is not just a name, like every time guild zerg meet guild zerg we can’t hoestly call it GvG.
See, when ppl say gvg they mean “GvG gw1 style” which is:
1) Connected to guildhall(you have to invade or protect guildhall)
2) Instanced for limited, not big amount of ppl(it was 8v8 but i think 5v5 would be fine)
3) Depends on rating and matchmaking
4) Supports daily monthly and some spetial tournaments
and such things.

Yeah i forgot to mention that it was the most exciting pvp mode EVER, nooe could beat it even in 2013

Am I right thinking that we wil receive that new crowns both for daily/monthly and for some open-world activities?

Well that lore expanation is so kittening CHEAP.
Gw was called so because there was guilds fighting each other (mostly in gvg but even puggy was most guild-related than wvw or spvp). Noone cares about lore.
It’s like pandaria without pandas but with some NPCs holding some books about pandas and full add-on about, let’s say, space marines fighting green pigs in their castles.

Marcus Greythorne.6843:

I’m actually quite happy that there are no capes in GW2… I can’t stand those dikittenowels in GW1. Love what they did with the Guild-Logo on guild-weapons and -armor.

btw, I wonder why so much people have a problem with the information-policy in this game, haven’t experienced this in other games; or am I wrong about this? Perhaps a more transparent policy would do more good than bad…

Well, let’s say, WoW(yeah again) is transparent as kitten, like i know what would be the last boss of pandaria, and i saw deathwing spine in early 4.2 etc.
Yeah, GWII is better then many many others mmog but there are some things that they just should ctrl+c\ctrl+v

We kinda need more straight answers so bad.
Their(seems like thats new anet’s feature) way to give us information is thrilling in a bad meaning, ppl are already angry about lack of ETAs patchnotes and things like it.

Well, we have quaggan cities underwater andd scritt dungeons underground here and there in game, they are not instanced but still very cute(and when I say cute i mean the real power of quaggan ubercuteness) and good-looking.
And yeah, music is just awesome

No, they don’t give an exact time because they learned from the last few events.

They didn’t learn how to release on time like they should have, but they learned to be as vague as possible so people can’t get “legitimately” angry at them for being late, because you can’t be late when you don’t tell anybody when you’re showing up!

23 minutes till december 15 for me right where I am now.
Time to release my legitimate anger i guess

Not really, since the server is (PST) time zone it is still 11:50am there on the 14th. All the patches/events are advertised as respect to the server time zone. With this said, they are still within a decent time frame to release the content. Those they think well its the 15th here and you said the 14th need to realize the advertised time is based on a different time zone. I am sure you are just venting frustration but you are not the only one that uses that as a basis of argument.

Im not frustrated, thats just a game after all.
I just keep wondering why theres EU zone with even DE and FR servers, also im very interested wheres connection between terms “schedule” and “sometime today”

First of all, i’m not whining, just needet to know – what’s next? Something is going to happen right now or in hour or 2, or its just all that was planned for this evening?
P.S.Redpost will be great.

MaXi.3642:

go back to what? that average looking instanced multiplayer rpg without Z axis? no thanks, id rather go WOW then GW1, but i stay at GW2 anyway

Well i don’t think that original guildwars pvp or gameplay by itself was bad or broken because of lack of jumps. Anyway it was and it is still requiring lots of concentration, skill and, i dunno…errr, feeling of whats going on around? yeah something like that.
Maps were justs straight or with some kind of stairs. Now its just a box or rock in place where in gw1 was nothing. Yeah jumps are fun and are making game more like action one, which is good for observes(btw, anet, wheres by observation mode, hmmm?) ar streams, but they ’re not that necessary.

I 95% sure I saw redpost with nearly-l2p text.

Well, i thought that its just one more _kitten_hurt topic, but then i red it and… guys, just imagine that im a doctor or a police officer or your granny and tell me the truth: you haven’t played guild wars 1 vanilla on its release, have ya?
So let me tell you how it was running.
2004
no skill balance(reason – not much skills, and even less of them were ok)
no hard tactics(split? i dare you)
no variety of builds(cuz come on, fire ele had to meteor shower, and that was one of the best aoe that time and im deadly srs)
im not even telling about PvE.
etc.
p.s. im not blaming anet. No srsly, they were and they still are the user-friendliest company with all that hotfixes and support, just give them some time.

cooking is actually great way to lvl ur character, not to mention it is interesting to find out new ways to waste some food irl mixing em together and trying to copy ingame receipts.
