Guild Wars 2

Also get the same error when entering edge of the mists.

Every time I try to open up the game list in spvp the interface is blank and after a bit of a wait an error message comes up saying that Guildwars 2 is having trouble connecting to the login server and gives the code above. Really annoying as it is preventing me from doing standard matches etc. I have checked my firewall and antivirus.. neither is blocking gw2.

I run Sword/Sword and Scepter/Pistol phantasm build in wvw. and I love it. S/S is really strong and the duelist on the pistol is nice as well. there is a build on these forums by Pyroathiest and I find it works really well for roaming in wvw.. Its not strong in large group fights but against a few players in a skirmish type scenario it is full of win.

I think the easiest way would be to do something like this:

10 or less people tagged the enemy you killed? Full WXP.
20 or less people tagged the enemy you killed? Half WXP.
20+ people tagged the enemy you killed? 1/4 WXP

Round down in all calculations so someone worth 3 WXP hit by 10-20 would be worth 1 EXP and 0 WXP to 20+.

People would avoid zergs. That, and make defending worth a LOT more WXP. Make escorting yaks worth something too.

I love this idea. Something really needs to happen to combat these zergs its horrible.

I’d like to see a lot more small group fights in wvw. So tired of running around with my small group or solo and running across ridiculously large zergs. On the odd occasion that we do happen across a group of equal or nearly equal size we are able to have some great pvp. But seriously Anet your update with the ranking system only causes people to zerg more. There is a guy on my server (Maguuma) with a ranking of 148. all from zerging. your average roamer has a rating of 15 – 30. How is this balanced? Could WXP be calculated by how many people hit a target. so zergs would get 1 or 0 wxp per kill?

Looking forward to next week’s matchup. Had enough of DB zergs. I am a member of a small roaming guild and when our group (3 – 5) people take a camp we get swarmed by 30+ DB its ridiculous. How is it fun to run with a zerg button mashing just trying to get a hit in before the target dies. I would like to see more DB roaming groups so we could get some good fights going. zerg vs 5 can’t be fun for either side.

Confusion doesn’t need a nerf. Players just need an intelligence buff. If you are stupid enough to spam your skills and die to confusion then you deserve to die. I’ll tell you what does need a nerf though DOWNSTATE.. just remove it. So many times i have come up against a group of 3 people and got them into downstate only to have the warrior vengeance and rez his team.. wtf. If it goes down it should just die why do we need downstate anyway?

Confusion is the magic condition that only kills bad players. if you are a button mashing zerging baddie then confusion will kill you. If you don’t have enough intelligence to see the BRIGHT PURPLE numbers flashing up on your screen and stop attacking for a few seconds then you deserve to die. Seriously we have had this conversation so many times. Confusion is so easy to deal with. JUST DO NOTHING! it will go away!

I main a mesmer and I have been frustrated for a long time about thieves using CoD off my clones to just remain in stealth almost permanently and kill me.. I am glad to see this nerf and look forward to evening the playing field against thieves. Although i feel the buff should happen after the duration of the first stealth and not when they come out. to prevent stacking of stealth. 1 period of stealth followed by a period of being visible is how it should be for everyone.

I haven’t played with a GS since it was having those pathing issues and missing a few patches a go with the izerker. I switched to a more bunker condition spec and I do heaps of damage and can take on multiple foes. Confusion does great burst especially against button mashing thieves and eles.. adjust and win people. GS isn’t the only weapon we have

To all those fairweather players that showed up last week to make sure we ended up back in Tier 3 thanks a whole lot. Where are you now?

Confirmed. Please fix this soon arenanet.

Get over it.. its a positive change and the leaderboard may spice up the spvp situation. I mostly WvW and have done very little spvp. But this update is a step in the right direction. Good Work Anet keep it up guys.

Lopez this has really gone far enough.. You are not in a position to tell people how they should spend time in the game or for that matter how to have fun.. People obviously are having fun dueling and that is why they will continue to do it. Not everyone enjoys PvDoor (me included) I much prefer to roam and look for smaller fights. Dueling gives players the opportunity to “hone” their skills whilst having fun. Even through observing other players dueling you can pick up some new tricks. I don’t believe that dueling causes major issues for WvW though I am hopeful that they introduce it into the game mechanics at some point as there are a few people on my own server that I would like the opportunity to duel outside Spvp.

Dueling isn’t against the ToS . and btw who is guarding that keep while you are on here having a whinge? You play the game how you want and leave the rest of us to do the same.

I play a condition mesmer (not glamour) as i feel I need to give up too many utility skills which i deem essential for my survival. I enjoy dropping the occasional confusion bomb and when I am against a bad player they typically kill themselves pretty quickly. Confusion does a lot of damage to BAD players. Good players see the purple glow and THE BIG PURPLE NUMBERS jump up and stop attacking before they die. You can combat confusion by simply doing nothing. press W and wait for the confusion to fall off.

Pull your head in Lopez. If you took the time to jump in and have a duel yourself you might actually find it fun.. We won’t hold it against you if you don’t though keep on enjoying your pvdoor and we will enjoy our pvp.

Oceanic krew definately put the SoS server on their back n carried them to the win.

Well done, you may have won the battle but the war has just begun.
See you guys next week, lets see how many nights the Oceanic guys can continue sleepless nights

I think one all nighter by SoS as opposed to basically playing the weekend and riding a lead indefinitely is a sacrifice we’re willing to make if it means our opponents do have to have those sleepless nights to even make it a race.

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

Its a shame really. I was looking forward to having a new match up this week. Kind of feels like a 2 horse race though. Giddy up BG
