Guild Wars 2

join us today :

we are still open to recruitment, hop on board before the paid transfers kick in

I have no issues with that to be honest, I play mostly support guardian in our guild warband in WvW and have no issues with loot, heck I can’t count how often my bags are overflowing on a normal evening. I even play at the moment shield/mace/staff and have no decline in tokens. As long as my group stays up and kills stuff I get my share and I cannot complain.

Are you talking about running grouped or solo along ? If you talking about soloplay I would suggest you consider joining a party

Hi Orion

good to see you still around and kicking. Fought you guys from TC a lot during the Drachenfels times, fond memories of getting my backside handed over to myself a lot by you guys. Been in Clan Wulf Order at the time if you remember (Seth’s old guild before he joined you guys). I know Woodstock is playing as well, put him on my friends list when I heard but havent seen him online, not sure if he stopped. He is/was on german Kodash server.

Well I would love you to join us.

I am playing with Tainted on Piken Square. We got around a 20man regular raid going in the borderlands and on offdays we are around 15ish. Right now we are trying to bolster our ranks to a steady Warband of 30. We are pretty organized as you would expect from an WvW focused guild and don’t really need to boast that we know what we are doing

Tainted has been very active in Warhammer and as well in Guildwars 2 now. We are having a good laugh and doing good. As for the server, Piken Square is really really nice. A very nice community with lots of very good guilds who run in groups between 15 and 30ish mostly. So we are not a very zerg oriented server but built on communication between guilds, working together etc. Great fun really. A very active WvW community, public Server TS and weekly servermeetings for strategy.

Would like to have a chat with you, just contact me in game, maybe we can hook up on our TS and answer any questions you might have or check our website at www.tainted.co

still looking for more squabbies to join the ship

loved the fights tonight in Piken, tons of action all over the place. Got a couple of times proper “yakslapped” :P Thanks to YaK and NOM for some great enjoyable encounters, hoping the rest of the week stays like that

Had a great time last night, some epic fights in Gandara Lands for sure for us. Lost quite a bit of my precious beauty sleep over the Bay defense though and was actually quite relieved when you finally broke us so I could go to sleep :P

Thanks all for a great night again

I think in the longterm it needs a form of rewards/perks with WvW. After they fixed culling ofc :P

As a long term DAoC player I really liked the realm ranks coming with RvR and some of the abilities which came with it. It had a visual component (Title) and also a practical use through some extra granted abilities. Don’t have to be as extensive as in ToA though as that was getting a bit silly imo. But maybe an idea would be utility skills you can unlock on various ranks while you progress and a new elite once you reach the cap. Something along those lines would at least motivate people who need progression and for which nice battles are not enough.

Personally I don’t mind the absence of something like that but more and more people I know are getting a bit bored with WvW (Borderlands are rather small and do not cater to small size roaming, no feasible rewards for WvW and ofc the often mentioned culling issue)

I think the mechanics are actually pretty nice and everybody is still learning as well, adopting and improving.

I think its a bit early to come up with fundamental change suggestions. If I look at some at the suggestion above its honestly more a matter of exploring different approaches to a problem. For instance if Poe Lyfe stays at his base being farmed by a zerg all the time he missed looking at the map which would reveal a route out back of the starting zone. You can mostly easy avoid the zerg if you move fast. We mostly run with 1 or 2 groups and keep circling the map taking supply camps, sentries, doing the pve events etc. If we got 12 people (enough for 3 rams) we can snatch towers, holding them for any longer though is a different story :P

As for the costs, yes I found it a bit harsh in the lower levels, now I frankly don’t care. Lots of blueprints available doesn’t mean you have lots of sieges up. Still needs a team to use them appropriately.

The only thing I sometimes wish would be possible is that I could deposit my supplies in a keep/tower instead of having to use it to deploy sieges or do repairs but that again might be just my frustration from not being able to secure the dolyak routes or supply camps for that matter :P

I had the same issues, sometimes I would crash a lot, +10 times a night. Tried absolutely everything I can think of, ensured machine is clean, everything is updated etc. As the error report always pointed out somethingn with a corrupted archive, I also moved my game to different drives, excluded the game folder from virus scanning and was getting more and more annoyed as nothing seemed to help.

When I looked at another error error I spotted that there were a lot of pagefault errors so I thought as I tried everything software wise that I might just swap my ram, not the most expensive thing to do and I gave it a try. Replaced my 4x 2gig 1600 ram with 2×4 of the same spec and have not crashed since.

While the weird thing is that I did not have any issues with other games (racing competitively in Iracing and at least the game never crashed with the old ram) I believe that Guildwars 2 is pretty sensitive when it comes to pagefaults which causes the crashes while maybe other titles are a bit more forgiving.

I believe that it might be worth to check memory if you have issues and thought I mention my finding.
