[Edit] 8/31/2017 – Currently Full

Looking for 2 experienced raiders to join our team for weekly clears. Our biggest requirement is a mechanically solid player with a good attitude who will adapt to the team as needed.

Organization through Discord mainly.
No rep or guild slot necessary.

Mandatory Times are as follows:
@ Tuesday Daily Reset + 30min = Full Clear (~2-2.5 hrs)

Requirements:

• Proof of all wing clear experience, majority of existing team has been raiding since day 1.
• Properly geared of the following at the minimum: 1 support (PS, Chrono, or Druid), 1 dps.
  ** must be working towards a 2nd support prof and another dps variant (power<->condi)
• Solid boss mechanics. We can work with DPS issues but knowledge and consistent execution during boss mechanics is critical.
• Discord

Mail me ingame for invite to trial.

Trial entail full clear but main criteria is ability to handle mechanics on Sab, Matt, Xera and Deimos.

Theres quite a few important things and unique items not mentioned or emphasized for each profession you mention.
This may not be clear unless you play said class extensively. Most prof are unique with some very support orientated skills, beware when replacing for sake of just self DPS contributions. Its about how much unique contributions to group for specific encounters.

In order of importance of why each is bought.
Power PS: 1=EA, 2=Banner, 3=Might, 4=CC potential,5=melee cleave dmg
Condi PS: 1=EA, 2=Banner, 3=Might, 4=Range Aoe Burning, 5=some fury, cripple/knob
Druid Heal: 1=gotl, 2=frost/sun spirit, 3=spotter, 4=heals, 5=goe, 6=fury (pet), 7=cc (pet), 8=spirit rez, 9=pull rez, 10=emergency reflect Matt, got escort/vg
Druid Condi: same as above except with less heals, less defensive support and decent range Condi dmg
Chrono: 1=quickness,2=alacrity,3=boon share, 4=invul share, 5=boon strip,portal,focus pull,feedback, 6=strong cc, 7=melee cleave dps
Ele power: 1=range power dps , super on large hitboxes, 2=blink,range burn dmg,group stun break, rebound,3=extra might gen,4=projectile destruction,5=emergency reflect
DH hammer: 1=Prot/aegis spam, 2=quickness/fury support,3=melee dps+symbol dmg,4=high cc potential,5=reflection and pull,6=emergency group blocking,heal and leap
Scepter DH: 1=Stable Range Power DPS, 2=quickness/fury support,3=high cc potential,4=reflection and pull, 5= support burning, 6=emergency group blocking,heal and leap
Viper Necro: 1=Ally Condi Transfer, 2=Foe Condi Spread and transfer, 3=heavy cc/cripple, 4=Range Condi DMG, 5=mass teleport rez, 6=high survival potential, 7=projectile destruction,8= add. might support

Ranger Condi: someone fill this in for me..
Auramancer: someone fill this in for me..
Thief: someone fill this in for me..
Engie:someone fill this in for me..
Rev:someone fill this in for me..
Condi Mes:someone fill this in for me..

Not going to comment on profs I don’t play enough..

Please adjust the pairings more dynamically and more quickly, the queues are messed up because of leaked information. There some stacking going on still that should have been fixed with the pairings.

so much sense of entitlement…

“I want to play how I want with whatever gear I have. I am not good at dodging, learning mechanics or positioning myself since I am “casual player”. I don’t want to play to improve and just have fun but anet needs to give me the best rewards for my “effort”."

Plenty of “casual players” clear the wings every week. If raids are too hard, there is plenty of other content to improve your game play on first. But no, its never my own fault or lack of willing to learn/improve, its anet’s fault for bad content.

I wouldn’t worry about the macros as long as you activate the sequence whichever way you want. The one keypress thing is baloney with too many loop hole and corner cases.

What they intend with the macros prohibition is for stuff like raptor farming from gw1.

Problem with Gaile’s post is it is incredibly difficult in translating the spirit of the rules into concise and definite actions.

There are many things prohibited above which will help regular and disabled folks play and control the game fluidly that is not possible with built in mechanics. They are not going to ban you over a lame auto clicker. I guarantee you this will generate more bad press and revenue lost for something petty as heck.

People are using addon programs to fix shortcomings in the game that anet’s designers neglected. If they are not funding the work, they need to allow the user community to more readily develop mods.

Really they should take a clue as to what is priority.

On avg, lose 1 game for every 10.

I’m not even using meta build. It is a lot easier this season, sapphire without really trying most games…

Easy option would be to just include 800 gems with it if the user adds it to an existing gw2 account as show of support for loyal fans.

To keep sweetfx working you have to:

1) move d3d9.dll and injector.ini from the bin folder into the main folder
2) Add the following to end of target for gw2 shortcut
-autologin -nopatchui -email YOUREMAIL -password YOURPASSWORD

I just got this phish attempt today. I think it may be a good idea to make it even more apparently the message is not from ANET by putting something right next to the sender’s name so it is super apparent.

I can still see 5 people out of 100 falling for this.

1. very easy to fix is to fix the World Population calculations. The current calculations on the transfer screen for world populations for each server is not useful to allow people to help self balance out wvw.

Please change the value so it is better approximation of the active wvw population in different worlds. It should be dynamic and customized on a INDIVIDUAL basis showing them the average population of the world during their historical play times. Of course this customization would only kick in for player with sufficient wvw history.

No actually, if you read properly, scaling the ppt to population is fairer. This creates a better reward structure since it scales with how much was actually contributed in.

As of right now, off-time effort is more valuable. People who play off hours, whatever real zone it is, are a contributing a disproportional amount of ppt for the same work. This is not fair to everyone else.

The vision should be equal reward for equal work which is not happening right now.

nirvana.8245:

So unless you play during Americas prime time, your efforts are not worth as much. How can this make sense to you? You know the world is round right? How about they reduce the points from Americas prime time so that it reduces the incentive to blobbing that goes on. And that makes more sense because you are achieving more with less. Why are Americans so self centred.

There is no perfect solution for this issue, as devs have been hamstrung with just keeping the status quo as there are always detractors who had zero empathy for quality of other’s play times. WvW server inbalance has been an issue since gw2 was released. The population and anet turned a blind eye to this until the unfairness and non-competitiveness affected themselves. The tournament should just be called population wars. Anet with their wvw population data could accurate forecast perfectly the results of the tournament without people even playing it. That speaks a whole lot to the failure of the system.

Good suggestions that would go a way towards fixing this growing issue get squashed again and again due to Anet’s inability to act until they find a golden solution when there is none.

Anet should really wake up and do something radical with the wvw population imbalances which will only get worse with the current system. Letting servers and the community try to build their population is a failed experiment. There are many non-perfect suggestions which would help balance matchups. Anet needs to stop being so politically correct and just experiment with a few of them.

My suggestion would be the following:

Limit dropping siege to lvl 80s
-prevent low level accounts from trolling

Add badge cost to dropping siege
-adding a small badge cost of 1 or 2 per siege will prevent siege spamming

These are desperate kids that can’t go without their virtual prizes.

If we had more active anet involvement policing wvw in real time, it would be a lot cleaner. You make a tournament with prizes, you gonna get this trash behavior from no lifes where gw2 wvw ppt is their life.

WvW has never been about fair and clean competition. Anet made big mistake making rewards server wide instead of individualized. It would go a long way in not encouraging these trolls.

same problem here, anet really should add way to change story choices since progression blocking stuff will inevitably become bugged like his.

try Tarnished Coast

Its not difficult to gauge population anymore for tier 1 servers due to queue system.

BG has biggest queues in all time zones during leagues.
TC has second strongest queue for NA/EU/OCX.
JQ has second strongest queue for SEA.

The #1 in each matchup is one with best coverage. #2/#3 can swap depending on who gets double teamed more. Anet really needs to change scoring to encourage #2 and #3 to take points from #1. It is no fun being on either side of stomping and getting roflstomped.

I’ll clarify/mod the points from winner more:

Points from #2 should include:
1) Points rewarded for capping structure/sites from 1st place. Different structure weird differently.
2) Bloodlust should be adjusted so only 2nd and 3rd place per current score are able to use. This should be modified to be strictly be only usable against 1st place. 1st place does not need to be able to use bloodlust to even more steamroll the competition.

The above and below will help promote a more exciting and even matchups!

Lord Kuru.3685:

1. PPT stays the same for each match and determines the match winner.
2. Winner gets 1 point. The two losers get 0 points.
3. Server rankings are determined by the points from #2.

• This removes the reason to fight for 2nd place and encourages the two smaller servers to doubleteam the bigger one.
• …which helps alleviate the population gap between servers.

I’ll keep this simple.

To better encourage closer matchups during leagues please adjust scoring to give identical match points for 2nd and 3rd place.

This will help encourage double teaming of 1st place for more exciting and even matchups.

May I suggest that the achievement Six Minutes to Knightfall be adjusted?

People got this achievement before this patch much easier with zerging or glitches.

Currently it is nearly impossible for a random population in LA to get this. I don’t like this trend of tieing temporary achievements to whether others are properly geared and fighting effectively. We have no control over the gear and skills of others.

This needs to be made into a raid so like minded people can come together and do this in a coordinated manner. Not a public event at this difficulty. This is not very different from wurm as a event being a mass failure for the general public.

Nicely written up post, hopefully someone at anet is bright enough to listen to this.
The OP speaks wisdom.

There are huge logic holes in how wvw scoring is done at the moment and should be revised to allow equal opportunity to contribute no matter what time you play.

“WvW Dawn of the Season” itself is still showing 0/1.

cnb is an excellent wvw guild, hope you guys find a good home!

Zerker Thief was the ticket for me after about dozen tries. Did the p/p + sb thing
sig of shadows, blinding powder, and shadowstep.

I must have tried over 100 times with warrior to no avail.. couldn’t balance vigor/endurance regen with the dmg required.

nice job! what traits/gear are you running?

Penguin.5197:

I still made it with as an engineer solo post patch. It wasn’t easy and I screwed up a bit but its doable.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQJhk_F9O10

the health of npcs scales up depending on size of party. It is harder to solo in 2 person party vs one person.

laharl.8435:

To bad that vid is pre-patch, just like every other successful video in this thread. I completed T4 a dozen times before patch – solo, duo and trio. I’ve completed it once solo after, with a ton of luck and class actually capable of it. This content is not possible for all classes in its current state.

my video was today post patch.
its doable but not easy? but its an achievement soo..

http://www.twitch.tv/me_latency/b/436810892

Just did the solo T4 on Thief for evon today.
I made a few mistakes so it was a close call in the end, but it should be possible with more margin.

http://www.twitch.tv/me_latency/b/436810892

This dungeon isn’t bad at all. A guildie and I went with a pug group straight out of LA and attempted it. All of us were new to it. We ended up killing the final gunner dude multiple times before realizing the lady needed to die first.

Only one party wipe.

Took around 50 minutes which can be improved on a lot. We did not run zerker. I was still running with my wvw set.

Name: Chronogram
Profession: Mesmer
Gear: Exotic Berseker + Ascended pieces
Experience: Finished P2, need rest
Times: 9pm EDT weekdays, weekends more often
Other: Looking for well geared players and experienced dungeon runners to finish arah runs at least 40 or so times.

Invites still open.
Will have bounties coming up tomorrow and sunday.

Send me ingame whisper or mail for invite.

Open invites for guild bounty. Must be able to guest to Kaineng (NA).

Weekly, Saturday and Sunday
Pre scouting Starts: 2:45pm EDT.

Whisper me in-game for guild invite. (just need to rep during bounty).
Latency.3907 or Chronogram

Issue: Transfer button is located extremely close to guest button. An unintended misclick will cost thousands of gems to get back to home server and week cool-down.

Solution: Add a type the world name style confirmation to transfer request and require confirmation through email as well.

When in the avatar form, the camera is too far in front. At certain angles, it is impossible to see yourself. This occurs after the ritual in “The Ghost Rite”.

I’d like to see this done with a group that lacks both warriors, guardians, and ele.

Something like:
engineer + ranger(x2) + necro + mesmer

A lot of these dps gates are unfair to professions which lack the require dps and party boons.

Usually in pugs i’ve run, its easy enough to measure up the party in encounters before this to understand whether an all-in is possible. Testing the waters with the first and second set of spawns in the room should always be done.

For low dps groups, usually a combination of all-in fighting in the first half and kiting with 2-2 splits in the second half is a compromise.

situation: currently there isn’t a way thru consistent regular play to get black lion keys to unlock chest which accumulate to larger stacks.

remedy: add black lion key as an option to daily achievement reward. user should be allowed to pick this vs the jug of karma. by making it a part of daily achievement, it would prevent over abundance of the keys but allow players to slowly use up their supply of black lion chest.

Just got disconnected about 15 minutes ago … during final ramp phase… was going to be going down it…

Do we need to submit tickets?

trick is to decide direction.. CCW or CW.

Then have four people on the ground pull him to pots one after another as fast as possible. Backs of people should always be against a pour spot.

One person should be responsible to do the pours.

KEEP getting disconnected…. really bad regression on bugs…

FIX this is STORY BLOCKING!

With the current state of how WvW works, even adjusting scoring to compensate for population differences between warring side does not resolve the bigger problem.

A bigger problem is that 100 vs 20 is not fun for either side from a purely battle standpoint. The only ones enjoying it are those on the over populated side exploiting the system for easy gold, karma, and server benefits. A player on the side with pop 20 could easily go broke from playing.

I’d argue that PVE gold and karma needs to be completely removed from WvW. WvW equipment damage should be removed as well. As soon as the ability to line the coffers of the players is taken away, more people will look for fixing WvW to lead towards more interesting battles.

A big problem is that anet is advertizing wvw as an alternate PVE mode for leveling characters and acquiring gold/karma. At the same time, this is suppose to accommodate end-game pvp mode for other players.

Very disappointed in the few posters who repeatedly post/spam their selfishness and ego infused views to this thread.

I believe a lot of posters are severely misinformed.

This is not about x server vs y server.
This is not about x continent vs y continent.
This is not about “time zones”.
This is not about “night capping”.

The above are oversimplifications and generalizations of the core problem.

This is about:

1) adjusting scoring to better reflect effort, coordination, strategy, and skills.

2) aiding and minimizing population imbalances (more balanced sides = funner battles)

There are many suggestions. I hope Anet takes careful note of all suggestions and works through it carefully. Any change would be time zone and region blind.

Really, any mention of region/zone/country needs to be removed. This isn’t about one time zone’s night capping vs another time zone.

1) This is about adjusting rewards/ranking as a function of difficulty of battle in WvW due to temporal population imbalances. Adjusting points based off relative populations is time zone blind. The way the ranking system works at the moment does not fairly compensate and reward for effort and skill in a balanced manner. Calling it a “ranking” system is inherently flawed as is.

2) Each time zone is 100% responsible for distributing themselves more evenly across worlds to optimize queue times and make wvw accessible to more people. To encourage better distribution and allow for more interesting wvw battles overall Dynamic pop caps would encourage guilds to spread out more uniformly. No one likes to wait hours to play and on the flip side, no one likes to suffer heavy repair cost battling in impossible battles due to population differences.

Fundamentally, the problem is that for pve, everyone in one zone wants to lump together (cultural, time zone, language reasons). This runs counter to how WvW is suppose to work. WvW works best with a uniform distribution of different time zones on a server.

More thought really needs to be put into WvW worlds and how it is tied to PVE world rewards.

In it’s current form, WvW ranking is foremost a measure of how well the WvW population is distributed (time zone wise) in a world not skills, tactics, strategy, organization, or battle prowess.

1) Scoring definitely needs to better reflect effort regardless of time of day. If one world has 500 people vs 20 people on the other side, scoring needs to be scaled to reflect this.

2) Besides scoring fixes, I’d argue a dynamic cap needs to be put in place. This will encourage better distribution of player from a time zone across all server. For this to happen effectively, Anet needs to allow guilds to more easily transfer from server to server without losing upgrades.

In the end, it is really up to you guys to adjust rules as necessary to create a more balanced situation. Lopsided matches and long queues does not equal fun and gets old fast.

Fun needs to be top priority in fixing wvw.

The problem is that there should be clarification of what is too much. What if it is 50 copper? 1 silver? At what point, can you not take the money just so you can delete the mail? Does everyone need to wait for support to remove it from clogging up your mail box?

A way to force delete items need to be implemented or an auto delete on reporting a message.

Return to sender not working for me. Hate for mailbox with only 10 slots to get disabled because some gold seller wanted to spam gold to your box.

Should also be allowed to force delete even if there is gold/items attached with a confirmation.

Really when a post is reported, it should be deleted (regardless of attachments and gold) with the report feature.

Not sure what to do at this point. contacting support.

again, use the SIW software to check:
your temperatures
voltages from power supply

if there was driver corruption issue, you would likely crash instantly into blue screen. This sounds like an issue which is triggered by either heat stress(deficient cooling) or current(psu) stress.
