Guild Wars 2

This sound pretty interesting, but with the lack of an escape mechanism like, elixir s, and in ideal case with swiftness given at the start of a match, wont be better to move the points from power shoes to inertial converter, for a better use of toolbelt at 25% and a slight decrease on their recharge?

Quaggans tooOooOOOok the hills

Noone on my team really understands this whole thing, a sticky post that explains everything would help alot. We can keep asking little things and put it together like a puzzle, but that´s not helping the majority.

Quote, a blogpost clarifying how leaderboard, MM, and decay work would be useful, and maybe the devs team have the perfect excuse to bring it out only now, with the 26th leaderboard reset. Seems fair to me: reset + blogpost with how everything work now and how they plan to change it in the near future.

I’ve read all the devs answers on this matter, with decay, leaderboard position, MM, and others stuff. And ultimately I’ve come to agree with which the devs are saying: Actually the decay can’t be permanent and if it is changed to be permanent nothing will change from how the leaderbord work now.
For example a top 10 player or an entire team stop to play and decay to rank 800, when those team or players start to play again they will be matched against ppl with their actual rank, so to them will be too easy to retake their old position.

Imho the only way to fix definitely the leaderboard decay is to split the rating used into the MM and the leaderbord position itself, and made the decay slower but permanent.

To improve scepter’s autoattack chain can I suggest to integrate some shatter mechanics to it? Like on each end of the chain shatter all your clone causing confusion or on each end of the chain reduce the recharge on your shatters skills by x seconds… Either way I think scepter lack some aoe so maybe giving the scepter’s chain some shattering clones power would be fun (maybe building this shattering in a way it shatters only our clones and leave phantasms alive )

On a side note, after our 2 game lost against the CC team our rating % in leaderbord is increased by 1%

Oh yes, we did another game against them, with an average setup this time and we managed to almost double our score (losing 504-44).. Im going to rethink about this bad matchup, thanks to anet we’re improving !!

Anet hates MM (MM = both minion master and matchmaking)

Was there with my friends, and we tought to go to tpvp and troll a little, so whats better to troll than 5 necro minion master? nothing.

But this was the outcome:
See the attachments.
How on earth we ( a team with members at low rank and leaderbord position pretty inhexistent) have to fight against the Car Crash team?

Love to CC guys btw

A great well played to all the FSP community, a special thanks to the ppl who didn’t sleep tonight, and to all who give everything they had to win this matchup.

I know that Im speaking too early, but awakening in the morning and seeing the matchup scores gave me a thrill… When I went to sleep we were 2-3k under those FR, and now we’re going to win. Amazing!

Love to this server community, which now I fell like a big family

A Dog.

Here I go:

This is a power mantra-build focused on my www experience, I think this is a complete build with all we need from a mesmer, we have: AoE cleanse, AoE stability, great condition survivability, glamour cd trait on and null field on, reflection with focus and some nice damage.
What this build is capable of: we can make use of the mass invisibility instead of the veil (now boon prioritize party so, with 1 mesmer every party or every 2, we can accomplish way more stealth than a long cd veil can do), btw we can swap our null field for a portal or for a veil if ppl still prefer it, we have the chance to be a cleanse bot with our new mantras and be still really resistant against condition thks to lyssa runes, or we can swap lyssa runes for more boon duration runes which will benefit our stability, we have long range illusions wich we can shatter on the zerg back for boon removing and quite some damage.

Overall this is a solid versatile mesmer build, and im interested in your feedback on it.

Actually when Im solo or up to a small party roaming in www I wear this build:

It’s the most fun thing I’ve ever experienced with my engi.
Against liv 80 target u can experience 8k blunderbuss, 10k jump shot and on a more frequently application 4-5k of surprise shot with 2k static discharge. (I love how ranger always take double the damage of static discharge :P )

This build bring on either some nice utilities when u roam with your small group, and a burst a thief would envy. On the other hands this isn’t a build done for tpvp: grenades give better dps in team fight and with an hgh grenade u will maintain the same dps while building some survivability, and a thief burst bring some utilities u can’t bring while being this focused on burst damage so, between a SD zerker engi and a thief, the thief will take our spot into the team.

And still u can’t use this build in a zerg environment due to it’s poor survivability and low range/aoe.

Yes if there are elements of this map that are popular those elements will slowly make their way back towards the borderlands and EB, where it makes sense.

With this you mean we can expect either terrain modification and new mechanics (like bloodlust) on the border, this seems fair, but do the borders have enough space for those upgrade eventually or the devs have plans on amplifying those borders?

Btw Im very satisfied with just this announcement and will soon talk with my guild for the survey

If this map will introduce new mechanics who are liked from the large majority of the www population, are the devs considering the chance that this map will steal population from the proper www maps ? Do u believe wich once u create new mechanics into the edge of the mists, those mechanics can be introduced into the old borderlands maybe with a restailing of those maps?

PTR server reveal 80% bugs and “OP unbalanced” things during the first hours.
Why we dont make PTR server ?

It is something they want to do and are working on. Coding does take time, so have a little patience.

Sorry to be rude, but I’ve never read from an official voice that the devs or Anet is working on a public test realm, is this just your assuption or have u read this news somewhere?

We need some prospective: when the others 2 dragons will be tweaked and remade who will have the time to kill all of them in a day? Take in count we have to organize each event and wait for their spawn, imho each day we’ll at least miss 1 of this dragons (maybe 3). So my suggestion is to put those 3 world event on a weekly basis with still better rewards, this will give us the motivation to clear them each week at least once, and for sure will create a better community, cause we have to coordinate and call friends guilds or guests from other servers to achieve the kill on an established day of the week.

Weekly bosses worked great in other games for years, try to think about it
my two cent.

Fail logic is a fail. U know how much time do u need to upgrade your guild to max into a new server? about 4 month and a lot of gold in influence, so 4 month without GM, only to win? ok u can transfer maybe the first time but I assure u, who win the first league couldn’t win the second one, so u what? Will u transfer again?
The league system will probably do the better for www, but it is a long term balancing system, so we have to work to our server, whatever position it is and create a good community, it’s useless, brainless and too much expensive transfer at each season only to get a stupid reward.

Celestial gear will lose for sure it’s useless magic find stat for something better on the next patch, on top of this quartz and charged quartz could be used to raise some point in the next crafting update, Maybe only with the discovery of celestial recipe so keep on gathering and charging it!!

A week from the update and we still don’t know if this item work as intended or it’s bugged, Groucharoo, pls, I know u are for sure full of work, but at least can u give us an hint about this item status. Btw thanks for your hard work

I’ve recently dropped an exotic from mystic forge and about 5 minutes ago i tryed to sell it, no wonder, I can’t sell it cause my 11 month account now is a trial account :P I hope u check this bug and solve it pretty fast.

Were this fixed in the last night patch?

How many did u use?

Im so hyped about this item and I think that if this teleportation thing with reward and dangerous encounters will be well balanced I’ll really love it.

Can we at least know how this item is supposed to work? And the recipe ingame actually is not the recipe listed on the patch notes

Me and a guildies too used the item and nothing happened, we were knocked down a tiny light appeared and then nothing

Vol.5241:

So are people actually buying up quartz to use it or is the increase in price as a result of inflation + other speculators?

I think it’s a bid on the future of crafting, if quartz, and expecially charged quartz, will be a mats used to craft up to 500 for any profession, who bought it in time will do a crapload of money, otherwise if quartz will be used only for celestial exotic stats as now, it’s price will be stationary or be subject to a slow increase.

Last night the quartz went up from 76c up to 1.68s, Im so happy of my initial investment of 33k of quartz.
Btw I think the quartz will still go up to at least 2 silver. Time to wait and sell..

Nemesys u don’t know the meaning of pvx guild, not at all.
Pvx doesn’t mean we don’t have players on the border all day, it just imply wich on a day basis only our focused www player do www, while our pve and spvp players do what they want in their playtime. The number of our www core players is a number minor than yours roaming team.
In our monday and thursday evening www event some of ours spvp and pve guildmates join the fray with their build and playstile wich hardly fit in a www enviroment.
We never try to force our guildies to a www setup not to a setup similar to yours boring like hell “half guardian all soldier/cleric gear” we let them come with what they have.
The fact is: in our video u will ever see some scattering of players or some random positioning (we also have upscaled player on our www event :P) and this is caused by our nature, a pvx guild; but while we’re being a pvx guild, we, now and in the past, gained the hate of our enemy for our battlefield merits and this is only one of the thing wich cause our guildies to be proud of their tag.
So pls nemesys stop saying bullkitten about thing u don’t know..
The blos are a pvx guild, and a good famed one, in our server noone have a grudge against us and we are a polite community, stop to call us into this flame war, u don’t have anything to gain attacking us on forums.
Best regard Cane ingegner

Still I don’t get it..

try to express a little better man, i can’t understand what are u saying..

As we speak, we blos are a pvx guild while u xxx are a www roaming focussed guild, so what are we talking about?
We never started a flame war about losing or winning, and about the numbers we had each evening, however on this and in another forum was a nemesys idea to start whine about our blob so we responded to him…
In addition we blos, and im talking about only of the BLOS tag, are something like 30-35 max on our average www evening event, if u still don’t believe us go to our facebook page and watch our guild cover photo: with a lot of pve player we hardly reached the 50 online that evening.
Btw best regard from our polite community.

Learn to play u are putting the mechanics of a portal bombing in such a naive way that Im disgusted, cause u pretend we all are enough stupid to trust what u have said… Cmon man the portal was never used like u said.
Usually, while the entire zerg is behind a wall, inside a keep or down an hill, a single mesmer is used to run toward the target zone where to place the portal exit, under the effect of veil or under mass invisibility, at least a skilled and an honest mesmer will admit that this is how the things must be done, now pls stop with the apologies of the mesmer’s portal: it’s a broken and abused mechanics, but still a viable one, and until the culling factor will be fixed the portal bomb will be a great tactic… A tactic counterable by a coordinated zerg, but still a good way to achieve the victory, no complain about this..

The low level alt in this game and in this matchup expecially are in all of the 3 servers, and often a single party, 3-5 ppl, can whipe a little zerg bigger, just cause the little zerg is full of them, happened for all of us, and is pretty awkward to just say FSP or UW are full of alt or low level pg.

About the night capping it’s a thing we can’t do nothing to counter, and for it a lot of our players will forfeit this week matchup, so i wish u good luck on the next tier and we hope for a general and better balancing of www tiers..

Now if we could stop the flame and the rage, this tread will gain a lot of respectability, and a lot of happy ppl will come here and will tell their own point of view of this week fights

Hillierawrs.5834:

And on a side note, I’m totally fangirling BLOS guild. ;3

And we love our fangirls :P

Xanti.8672:

….and stop complaining about nightcapping during holidays(!) cause that doesnt make sense

U mean that after this winter holidays we on FSP will see a lot less of your night capping?
Im waiting for this, cause it’s starting to be really a boring kind of game.
And i can assure u, this friday we lost the will of fight, cause at 10-12 hours far from the reset and with 13k of point lost in the late night everyone it’s unwilling to keep fighting.

Im a member of [blos] some of your ppl mentioned us as a good rival, thanks for that, we really enjoy our little celebrity :P Unfortunately we are a PvX guild and don’t focus entirely on www so our numbers aren’t so big, and we can’t offer such a large scale fight u asked for, furthermore we are an italian community guild and at night we usually sleep, and personally i hate to wake up in the morning and see all the hard work my comrades did to “kick your kitten #8221; undone :P

Moreover Xanti if u are a leader in your server can i ask to stop the “schatten armee” guild, tag SA, to send spyes on our server, it’s kinda awkward to ear my guildies complain against this kind of ppl, and it’s really a bad thing to do…

Respect, Cane Ingegner [Blos]
