It’s a lot easier to get now than it was before, actually. The way it is now, you can get your GoB in 1-week or so. Whereas in the old days, you needed 500 Badges of Honor. Which in my hayday were only offered through player kills and the Obsidian Sanctum jump puzzle daily chest. So you literally had to kill hundreds of players and do the puzzle to get the 500 badges required to buy your GoB. Which overall took months to do. Nowadays it’s easy to max out a reward track in 4-7 days casually. All you have to do is run with the zerg and repair things in WvW for a handful of hours a day.

You forget that achievement chests were giving out badges for almost two years before they made GoB a reward track. It was a golden age (for PvEers) where they could get their gift for their Legendary without ever stepping foot outside the safe zones on each map.

But I get your point.

I didn’t forget. I actually never realized that, lol. xD

holodoc.5748:

TS is not a requirement for effectively contributing to WvW. As a matter of fact a lot of people, myself included, do not join TS because of all the side effects that come with it. Screaming, producing all kinds of bodily noises, publicly sharing personal sexual fantasies, picking fights with other people on TS… No thank you.

Lol! That moment; when a simple chat system can make you want to scrub your skin off with steel wool, and you still won’t feel clean after doing so. xD

I’m not looking for miracles here. I just want the exotic skins for the Triumphant Hero armor set. But as a parent and full time job holder I have tops maybe 3 hours a day to play the game. This last match-up I earned in total 25 Claim Tickets through the Pip system. At this rate, even getting one exotic armor skin worth 250 Claim tickets is going to take minimum some 4 months approx. And that’s assuming I literally ignore all my friends, guild obligations, etc and literally do nothing but WvW.

Take the hint, bruh. Come see us in WvW for a few days. It won’t kill you, I swear. GoB is easier than ever to get; so waste less time complaining and more time simply getting on with it. :P

Bigpapasmurf.5623:

Cutting the tail is the best part of a roamer/small group… Having a group of 4 thieves just totally F up a zerg because they dont realize they took out half the zerg…unless you are running calvary then zerg busting is totally epic.

A solid well practiced small-man group with good timing and placement (utilization of choke points, terrain, etc) is a devastating thing of beauty on any given map. It’s a brutal instrument of practically surgical precision.

The basic duties of the solo roamer(s) and Small-man teams:
- Be the eyes of the map’s Commander in locations where their zerg is not present.
- Take any and all enemy camps in your vicinity to disrupt enemy supply tains.
- If possible, pick off stragglers or even cut the tail off of the enemy’s zerg. This can sometimes be done simply by running by and causing the less dedicated followers to squirrel after you.
- Kill any and all enemy Dolyaks in your vicinity. Again to disrupt supply chains and delay keep/tower upgrades.
- Reclaim lost friendly camps. To maintain your own flow of supply.
- Eliminate any enemy players that are a threat to said supply flow.

If you think the above is “useless,” then I can’t vouch for your rationality nor reasoning lol. And almost none of these things really requires the use of a Teamspeak.

Entirely untrue, imo. Any person who even gains +5 points for taking a camp during a tick helps the server. And honestly, I’ve never gotten crap from a TS except drama and the unfortunate side effect of actually having to hear other people talk. You leave me alone to my music and let a roamer work! xD

It’s asking a bit much, imo.

So I got this message today when trying to join my friends in a particular instance. As it stands I was unable to do so. What the kitten?

The party comes back at that deathblow point. I’m simply tired of carrying people through the entirety of the fight alone. That’s not right.

Please remove the permanency of the “penalty box” post death in the final Mordremoth fight. If you want to keep it challenging, have the party carry on without their downed allies until the next rift event is completed, then have them come back. I can’t count the number of times so far I’ve ended up having to basically solo this fight because the party dies. I’m considering finding a method to start charging a small premium for doing so. I know that’s not something you want, but it is getting kind of asinine spending so much time on this because solo’ing it takes forever.

Yeah, tonight is being hailed as the “Final Reset.” At least until Anet realizes that their main WvW demographic does NOT consist of little kids who are free to play every Saturday afternoon, but mostly adults who actually work weekends. NA prime time is, and always has been, between 7pm and 12am. This is a tremendous blunder in my opinion.

Either way, it’s for sure my last one if the reset time does change. Even IF I didn’t literally work the entire weekend, there’d be no way I’d awake early to make it. Honestly, if this is the kind of attention we get when Anet actually decides to turn its eyes toward WvW, I’d much rather we remained ignored entirely.

Justine.6351:

I skimmed and I saw the “need moar condi clense” #8.
Pretty sure we got a lot but I’m not sure how more will help if people won’t pick them up cause they don’t wanna lose dps. Should make rapid fire remove 1 condi per strike? lols

Well, I wasn’t including the casual zerk ranger player in my thoughts anywhere, lol. They aren’t meant to survive. XD

Some points of interest in things I’d like to see happen. Some of these things are long time thorns in our side, I might add. Like, since release.

1.) Pets need to dodge when we do. No need for further explanation.
2.) Pets need to stealth when we do. Trapper runes, etc. This has been a major problem for Trapper rangers. As any intelligent player opponent can, and will, follow your pet and know your approximate location when in stealth. Which completely nullifies the entire point of having stealth in the first place. This and number 1 have been problems since the game was released, and are well beyond the point of needing to be addressed.
3.) Stowed pets need to stay stowed when taking falling damage. The bane of ranger JP runs, because they’re ALWAYS right in your camera, and take a few seconds to be able to be stowed again.
4.) Spirits need their mobility back. This is a big one. Spirit rangers as of right now, are dead. I called them dead the moment the Devs announced they were becoming like turrets in that overhaul podcast ages ago (and got banned from commenting as a result I might add). They take a full second to cast, there’s four of them (four seconds overall cast time for a full spirit build), and the cooldown is 20 seconds. No ranger in PvP or WvW has the time to do all that casting, running, and casting again to have ANY hope of survival. If spirits are not given their mobility back, that’s four useless utility skills we now have that need to be scrapped for something else. Cause spirit rangers again as of right now, are no longer a thing outside of PvE.
5.) Might just be my opinion here, but Nature Magic is utterly useless now as well. The entire trait line, is just… blargh. Below mediocre.
6.) Bark Skin needs it’s original stats back. The current above 90% thing is just asinine, and it wasn’t even overpowered before. It was a great thing to have back in the day, now relegated to a less than 1-2 hit boon.
7.) Spirits no longer use their skills upon death, and are killed far too easily to be of any worth outside of PvE.
8.) We STILL have significantly less condi clears than most classes. Again, been that way since launch. Which considering the new mege-condi-meta means there’s a whole lot of us rangers out there dying in seconds to overwhelming condition damage and not a thing we can do about it but dodge and pray for the best.
9.) Would also be nice if ambient creatures (rabbits, owls, etc) no longer set off traps. This however isn’t a huge deal.

Some points of interest in things I’d like to see happen. Some of these things are long time thorns in our side, I might add. Like, since release. I honestly felt that before this latest mass overhaul patch we as rangers were finally beginning to balance out in the PvP areas of the game. Just to be thrown way back into Nerftown all over again after we slowly crawled our way out with only our fingernails the first time.

rhapsody.3615:

Brand new skins are still one ticket. The Dreamthistle skins are a re-release, and cost more just like all other re-released black lion skins.

Oooooh, so this is like a sale event? They go from 5 Tickets on sale to 3… I see now. That’s actually pretty clever. By all means, carry on then.

Is this going to be a consistent thing from now on? I’ve been here since 3-day headstart, and have only managed to create 2 Claim Tickets total in that time. Not all of us are friggin’ key farmers, please don’t punish the rest of us! At this rate it’ll be only one BL Weapon per every four years of gameplay for those of us who are not farming keys.

Xenesis.6389:

Whaaaaat? YB matches FA population, FA has been losing guilds for a little while now because they got so fat the queues went to hell, it’s back to manageable levels. If anything this is in response to SoS, DB, DH all being on full status while not even being in T1. SoS has been on full for months with gaps here and there when it opens, but it’s population is probably less than half of FA and YB, that’s how many pve players they have.

Oh I know. Our guild was one of the major WvW guilds for SoS that bailed about a month or so ago. It was literally a mass exodus off the server into lower tiers. We got so tired of being red every week, facing blobs that were fielding sometimes 60+ or more. While we often had as few as single digit numbers on our home BL during the non-NA prime hours. There was little we could do to deal with that. What was worse, after some glicko calculations, we discovered that we were still gaining points and even IF SoS completely left WvW alone and as a server didn’t even bother to show up it would still be weeks or even months before SoS had any hopes of dropping into more stable tiers. And yet, even if we did drop we were too strong for tier 3 and would inevitably end up right back up there. That’s how huge the differences are in just two tier sets.

The basic gist of the problem is overall server population needs to have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with balance calculations for WvW. It would also be really nice if said calculations took into consideration the waxing and waning WvW populations per server during red vs green match-ups. As many fairweather players only show up to WvW on green weeks.

Is this any way in response to NA Fort Aspenwood’s WvW population being larger than even the tier 1 servers? And the other tier 2 servers that get locked in against them dying out because there’s no way they can deal with that? A pretty jabbing observation I know, but one that’s nonetheless true.

Kidel.2057:

“waiting” “Shiro”

Shiro better be straight up DPS… Cause the others, just ain’t got it.

The entire class feels… underwhelming… in nearly every aspect. I feel like Anet is tip-toeing on eggshells, trying not to make something too powerful, and in doing so is smothering the class into not letting it go forth and shine in any given direction. Did some basic field testing in AC story mode, which in itself is not initially very challenging on most classes, even alone. Some points of interest.

*Hammer is useless in tight space close quarter combat. Granted it is technically a ranged weapon, but it has nothing in the way of repelling enemies that are all in your face like many ranged options do.
*All damage output (of every kind) seems dismal at best. Even with full zerk gear the most you’ll be looking at with a critical hit is 2k damage on average. Similar with condi heavy sets like Settler’s. It’s just, not there.
*Ventari is just utterly useless as far as I can tell (like, I don’t even know where to start with this).
*Despite the MASSIVE amount of healing and defensive skills the class carries, their health upkeep is very tedious and requires constant kiting to maintain a decent health pool. Even with tanky set-ups. I’m not used to getting downed by mere dungeon elites, lol.

I will note however:

*Condition mitigation, is fantastic, and all party based. So that’s awesome.
*Group debuffs on enemies.

GrimmR.3541:

deSade, let’s do AC tomorrow..

Soooo many things I’d do to—with you… ow w8 I’m too drunk I said I was going to bed! No, you’re not coming with me. Sleeping with my cat. But sure why not, woulkdn’t mind sleeping with gravelings.. I think. I can shake it off.

Dun do eet!

Cause according to Reddit baby gravelings will cut you so bad, you’ll wish they no cut you so bad, and then die of blood loss!

I’d like to offer a rebuttal for a lot of the rumors surrounding the Ascalonian Catacombs dungeon complaints that have been flying about lately. The claims being thrown out right now in summary are that, “AC is completely impossible now! Every baby graveling can stack 30 bleed and they’re wiping full parties in seconds!” A friend and I just performed an expedition to investigate the validity of these claims, and two-manned the dungeon up until the “graveling room” with Hodgins in path one. At which point we partied up fully with three other lucky people to carry on the last half of the path.

First off, the baby gravelings stack 3 bleed per hit, and not 30. Secondly, during that entire trip the MOST bleed stacks I saw on my person at one time was 34, which cleansed INSTANTLY upon popping “Shake it off!” This was in a circumstance in which I was mass mobbed, and I note, that I had to physically cease kiting to allow it to happen.

The only odd instances I noted at all actually were the fact that the rangers inside the dungeon were still throwing their traps, but that’s an unrelated issue entirely. I also note that the little gravelings at the final boss fight in path one still maintained their “knock down and lock down” ability, but again that’s nothing new. As they’ve always done this.

My verdict is that this whole debacle about AC being “impossibru!” is a myth, and a thoroughly debunked one at that. To narrow down the perpetrators of it, I’d be willing to bet the 1 gold I got from completing that dungeon path that the majority of this forum QQ is being generated by the zerker-only crowd. Folks who complain that they can’t just stand (or stack) there and blow everything away with massive DPS due to the greater condition emphasis ingame since this last patch. Which frankly in my opinion is a step in the right direction, and not the contrary. I hate stacking in dungeons, it saps every ounce of fun and challenge out of the fight.

Again, I stress that I brought along only two condi cleanses as a warrior, one utility and one traited, and fared just fine.

Buzzcrave.6197:

I laugh at all the people that keeps on saying “You just need to stand in it for a sec”. Note that OP mentioned WvW, the land of cheese builds where you can even die in 0.5 sec. With the recent buff, almost every class has a build that can instagib someone in 0.5 sec, and you want OP to stand still for a sec to activate the skill? Lol.

The cheese is real, yo.

xbunni.3824:

Anyone know with HS being a trap now, Shouldn’t it proc stealth when running Trapper Runes?
A bug maybe?

One would think, right?

Conski Deshan.2057:

I’ve encountered that bug too since the patch.
Just walking around SW , suddenly hit for 300k damage, then just full dead. Sound was muted so can’t confirm the noise.

Fascinating… I’d not even had the forethought to consider checking the combat log. I shall do this next time it happens.

It has been a day or two, and I can say that this bug is not limited to merely the new LA map. I watched a party member randomly drop dead in front of me while we were milling about trying to catch up with the Commander in EotM earlier today. She and I were merely running across a bridge otherwise without duress and she just fell over dead.

Just a flesh wound.3589:

Maybe it’s a reappearance of the killer terrain glitch, where a small change in the terrain gives you instant death. (The whistle is probably a coincidence then).

I had a guildie die instantly from the killer terrain glitch from stepping off a tiny rock once.

It’s possible. I do explore and hang out to catch NPC dialogue a lot, so the seemingly high frequency of my encounter with this glitch may just be happenstance.

Also… and off topic.

Andraus.3874:

There is something in Tyria that is more scary than Moredremoth. Perhaps Zhaitan is making a return? That piece of tail in the priory was always suspicious with you know…. The body and head missing. Whatever it is it sounds sinister by nature. Beware.

They HOPE that’s his tail. Lmao!

Just a flesh wound.3589:

I’ve been seeing some threads in the WvW forum about people disappearing and then instant death. Here’s one that mentions it: WvW issues. All players disappearing, though it talks about lag and rubberbanding also.

One post

Elysia.5019:

Adding to the issues… can be running with no enemies around and just randomly drop dead. This is ridiculous.

I’m experiencing neither of those things though, lol. Just the Death Whistle.

Twilight zone moments, lol. Three times now I’ve been just running along in the new LA map, have heard a whistle (like when the rangers summon their pets), all the players and NPC’s nearby disappear, and I just drop dead. First two times near the lighthouse, this last time while entering the bank. It’s really bizarre. I’m wondering if I’m still even visible to everyone else when it happens. I was in the entrance of the bank and when I ran back it was quite crowded, yet nobody rezzed me.

HotHit.6783:

As for why Healing Spring is a trap, I can think of a few reasons. First and most important is that the GW1 skill it references was a trap, I don’t think it ever saw use sadly.

EXACTLY LOL!

I played GW1 since Factions came out, and I didn’t even know it existed until now. Which I think speaks for itself.

Taku.6352:

You could just like stand in it yourself and it’ll activate. Imo HS I way better now as you can get the healing portion separate from the cleansing and it being a trap you can actually reduce its cooldown and increase its duration with 1 trait.

It takes two seconds to self-activate, there is no standing ANYWHERE in combat as a ranger in WvW. You dodge, or you die. Two seconds, plus the basically 1 second cast time, is a lifetime in WvW combat.

This is just plain awful. Healing Spring is not only one of the rangers top team support skills (being a water field), it’s also one of the only two condi cleanse utilities we have as a class… And now I have to wait for someone to trigger it. I’ve had to swap to Heal As One, and I’m getting murdered continuously in WvW thanks to the new condi meta, and have nothing to cleanse it with outside of a few traits and pets (bearbow lulz).

Also, please change Bark Skin back to it’s original stats. It’s utterly useless now and wasn’t even overpowered before. We finally just prior to this patch got to the point where rangers were semi-viable against other professions, and now…

The PvE enemies have been to easy for ages now, even prior to this patch. There’s no reason the stacking meta ever had to exist in the first place, and it’s easy to deal with. Improve enemy AI so they flee from AoE fields, and do not mob on stacked players. The moment a player team stacks, enemies should scatter and swap to AoEs and ranged attacks. Give them the team dynamics and synergy we saw in GW1 Winds of Change. That was actually challenging.

Lol, I was just laughing about this myself. They left it on TP for like 24 hours. Many of us don’t get paid until Friday.

Me personally? I’d like to have access to some of the now officially unobtainable skins. Skins that as of right now are literally impossible to get your hands on. Those like Guild Defender Shoulderplates/Boots, and the now extinct Tribal light armor set in its entirety. All of these skins were pre-wardrobe release PvP exclusives that now no longer exist.

More irksome because Ellen Kiel is actually wearing those shoulderplates. So that’s a bit of a jab at the “have-nots” lol.

Malediktus.3740:

I dont think this is a good idea. Save up the gold and buy it from the trading post.

Yeah…. Lemme get right on saving up that 4,390 gold for the Greatsaw on the TP lol. Assuming I spent no gold between now and about a year and half from now it might be possible. Of which there are only 3 remaining right now.

The entire point is to block the sales pitch from ever gracing the player’s chat box in the first place. Those complaining about it wouldn’t have to toggle it on. It would be a completely optional non-mandatory system. One I personally have wanted since the game began. As it negates the ability of not only gold sellers to reach me, but PvP and WvW trolls as well.

Also, I know that going “invisible” disables PM’s, but it also well… makes me invisible. I have an active and very social guild and friends that I do not wish to hide from. Being invisible all the time would negate the entire purpose of having such.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

I’m not sure what the advantage is, other than one? less click? Maybe two. A player would still be spammed with messages, just a different message.

I suppose it is all about the number of clicks. It’s kind of amusing how we find clicking a button taxing nowadays.

Good luck on your suggestion.

It’s not the clicking that’s the issue, it’s the chat box obstructing eyesore that is the gold seller’s sales pitch. Over, and over, and over…

A proposal to Anet on a viable, and relatively simple, method to cull the accessibility of gold sellers to their target audience (namely the hapless player masses afk’ing in Divinity’s Reach). The solution would be to employ a personal message reviewing system if the player in question toggled it via their options menu. Once activated, all incoming personal messages will have to accepted, declined, etc by the player receiving them. Also of note, if the player is not there to receive said message, as in is actually afk, the message prompt will automatically “decline” after a set time (say like 3 mins or something). With no harm or foul to either the sender nor receiver. As an example, the pop-up prompt could appear something like below:

“(Player name) has sent you a personal message: [Accept] [Decline] [Block Player] [Always Allow This Player]”

I’m really kind of at my wits end on this issue. I afk’ed off and on while doing laundry the other day, and in that two and a half hour time span received no less than a dozen gold seller PM’s in Divinity’s Reach. We all block and report them, but it seems to do us little good. While I’m certain the folks in the Anet Dev team are doing whatever they can to cull the tide of “Hace a nice day!” ’s the average player receives, their efforts seem futile in the wake of the sheer numbers of sellers.

Kamui.4038:

It’s an excuse to defeminize them. That has been an ongoing theme since they butchered the running animation.

Living in a world where males decide what to be “feminine” means. And you wonder why we don’t like that…
Just give us the male animations for a quick fix. The last remaining idle is my character brushing her hair aside from her face. She is wearing a helmet btw.

What? We don’t want male animations either… I’d like the old ones back. >.<

Also, sad as it is, males have always set the bar for female attractiveness, behavior, customs, etc. Women in the Victorian era wore corsets so tight they could cause intestinal damage. Look at the fashion industry. Do you think any woman in her right mind chooses to eat nothing but cotton balls sipped in vinegar to maintain THAT figure? No… they don’t. Oddly enough women on the extreme opposite of that fall into the “butch” stereotype and practically become men, so…

I for one don’t see what this has to do with idle animations going off at inappropriate times though. When did this become an issue of gender identity?

Sooo, if I got this straight. Simply because some neckbeard(s) bug reported that their female characters were stretching at inappropriate times we’re now stuck with female idle animations that have us only looking around and nothing else? Is this one of those, “cause it breaks my immersion” arguments?

I still see countless mesmers in the immobile standing position despite still in motion after using their blink skill all the time. A bug I’ve lovingly dubbed “hover mode,” and that has been in effect since day one. We going to disable blink now? C’mon… Really? Can we have our idles back now?

Not spending another cent on this game so long as this system exists, full stop.

Serum.4067:

As a frequent gem purchaser, maybe 10-20 dollars every paycheck, this change will keep my money in my wallet. Never buying gems again as long as this system is in place. Very distasteful ANet. You’ve lost yet another customer with your unnecessary changes and horrible decision making. I know a cash grab when I see one. Sad to see such a revolutionary and innovative videogame slowly being ruined due to poor management. You’re bleeding yourselves out….

I completely concur… I honestly wished I’d noticed this change before I picked up the new outfit. And I’m just about the same in habit, approximately $10-$20 per paycheck. So that’s now three of their TP-whales they’re losing until this system reverts back to old form. Do I hear more? This needs to backfire so hard.

/signed

The fourth gem whale. $50-75/mo. No more. Not until they pull their heads out.

Now we’re talking! We need more! This has gone too far this time.

Another case of making quality of life worse with an update.

There’s nothing else to really say here…

Why?

WHY?!

Are you trying to force us into buying gems? I can’t see any other reason for this change. I’m trying not to go all tin-foil hat conspiracy mode here,but… What other purpose does this serve? The lowest option is seriously 400 gems? What in the gods names was wrong with the previous system?

First forcing us to map with the new trait unlock system…

Then the breaking down of the leveling system that only made the game more tedious and and highly unfriendly to new players…

Now this…

I don’t even…

Who are you people?… And what have you done with the Anet execs that designed the game we fell in love with and took the MMO gaming world by storm in 2012? The game that eliminated the sacred triune classes of MMO gaming AND all but got rid of the unnecessary grind that was the staple of gaming. Cause you’re certainly NOT they.

warriorjrd.8695:

Warriors are the easiest class for me to kill on my ranger, i’m surprised this is the first time this happened to you =p

I know right? Oddly enough the heavy classes are easiest. You’d thing guardian reflects would be a real issue, as most ranger weapons are ranged, but so few pack them in a fight.

I’ve been destroying heavies in combat long before this last patch buffed us. Then again, I’m bunker/condi and often more “armored” than they are. Oddly enough, it’s often mes and necros that cause me the most trouble with sudden condi spikes. I can outlast most warriors and guardians.

Lol! No no… no no no. Siege disabler is the single best thing to happen to WvW since Obsidian Sanctum arena and free armor repairs. No more utter hopelessness when you’ve got 10 defenders facing a 30+ mob. For once a step in the right direction. Just in time for us to be facing a bunch of Tier ones in Season 3 as well.

I still hope to this day they add these into the game eventually. I would also like male Charr to have a speedo, but that’s for eye candy.

Matter of subjective opinion for sure! XD

(Shivers violently at the thought)

There’s one such PS story armor for each class type, light armors is hideous, so no one cares but wardrobe competitionists, I’m not sure what heavy armor’s PS exclusive set it, I’ve never really leveled a heavy character.

The Heavy is called Barbaric, but you can also craft it.

And it’s kind of ugly IMO

Agreed, lol
