Okay so this makes me question something. Are the new Traits actually worth trying to get? Because if not, all the cash and effort is going into buffing equipment.
Hi. Player interested in trying this title again.
What’s up with the traits? They got smaller but harder to get a hold of? Like you have to complete a certain named dungeon or take named point in WvW?
Can someone catch me up speed?
Personally, I dunno why people want new maps. Nothing is going to get people to give up Queensdale.
Eredon Terrace always has a train going in queensdale
I can confirm this. ET is great for the Train. It is horrid if you want to do anything else. I have no idea how it is for other servers but if you aren’t in Queensdale, you’re playing it wrong.
So…, all my friends moved to FF14. And just about everyone on my server just does the Boss Rotation Hoedown. So, I’m actually forced to post this.
Looking for a guild or server that actual likes to go do events/explore the world. Not just the Boss monsters or Dungeons, but really just go have fun with the content that’s there rather than grind for power items. Willing to transfer if need be, but I’m currently on Eredon Terrace.
Had and Engineer pulling people from the walls and killing them. Okay, that’s fine. Engineers have that odd ranged skill with the Wrench kit to pull people.
Never switched to it. Had Rifle and Flame Thrower. Never swapped to the Wrench, never had that kit out. Did the animation of the pull with the Flamethrower and someone came flying off the wall next to me. Next time it was me getting pulled by the Rifle.
I’m sure there are hackers in the game. No game is without them. But I don’t think it’s as wide spread as the OP thinks.
Personally I hate Thieves and due to the OP stating his class, Mesmers.
But this is coming from someone that isn’t very good at PvP. I have trouble tracking targets so Thief with stealth and Mesmer with clones, warps, and mini stealth give me a lot of trouble. More so with Mesmers than thieves actually.
Thief comes by and kills me. Mesmer comes by and we fight. I die, okay same as thief. I start winning only to find out that for the last 10 seconds I’ve been fighting clones.
Marks and running around with a chicken with my head cut off. Also Wells and Daggers a bit.
But I haven’t messed with Necromancer since release so maybe they got massive buffs or changes or something. It just felt boring to me.
HoD again? Instant loss. Move on guys maybe next week.
So…, I’m just trying to figure out what OP hates. Does he hate;
1) Low Level Characters in WvW
2) Low Skilled Players in WvW
3) Getting up after a kill or assist in WvW
4) All of the above
We don’t. We pray that most people in the zerg go after someone else. That or use rifle up to jump a gap.
HoD? Hey, how’s it’s going? Good, that’s nice. Listen can we talk? Could you do something about oh I don’t know the glitchers your server seems to have a number of?
Because right now you guys have one guy running an Engineer, in our borderlands pulling people from walls, with a rifle. So if you could do something about punks like this, that’d be great. ET has it bad enough without people having to glitch. We get beat through normal play so, stop it.
Oh GoM is moving out, thank god. Get them out of here. I’m sorry I dislike you guys with a passion, your man power is insane. Heck I’d love to see some actual number of how many people you actually have on your servers.
I am about to have a permanent shelf to hold the soap if FC continues to keep kicking ET’s butt like this.
Not sure what that means, but yeah we tend to get beat up. I think it’s due to numbers. Every time we get outnumbered. FC tends to be 4-5 to one. And GoM is Legion.
And we’re losing our keep. Again. Why did we get the worst keep on the map?
That and why do we never have the numbers that GoM and Ferg have? It’s getting to the point that I think they have bots running around.
Devon has stated that Anet is into rotating colors independently from rank:
Reason I ask is because I feel like the blue side, more importantly the lower right of the battlefields, is harder to defend compared to the other two colors.
Stupid question, do we ever get shifted around cause I’m tried of being in the lower right side of the battlegrounds.
Noooooo, he was shooting some kind of beam at me and healing from it as it hurt me. Then again he did teleport like from insane distances so maybe he was just ‘funny’.
Question. You guys don’t have a downed skill that does damage and heals you at the same time? Or is that something you can rune into?
Kinda agree. When playing WvW, I tend to get left behind when moving with a group. I tend to look at the guys that are with me in the back and there’s a lot of engies around me. Movement seems very much a weak area that we have. Don’t get me wrong we have a lot of short movement tricks we can use in battle but if things go south, we don’t flee as well as other classes.
Umm, I think I see your problem.
You do know that you just listed two events clearly marked as group events in the game. Why are you under the delusion that you are supposed to easily solo those. Especially the Blood Witch that is a boss event.
In fact, every kitten event you have mentioned in this thread so far are group events from what I can tell. It looks like you are suffering from the “ordinary events are beneath me” syndrome.
Ordinary events like what? Escort the Merchant type quests? Well those take forever to do because the guy keeps dying with only one person guarding him. And I’d like to make sure we’re talking about events, not those heart mission areas. I’m not under the delusion that I should solo these events. I’m under the delusion that other people are moving over to do these events when they are probably sitting for SB to spawn again.
For an MMO, I rarely see the multiplayer part when walking around in other areas besides Lion’s Arch and Queensdale.
I just don’t get what kind of mass-solution you think Anet can implement that would be a catch-all fix. They already have it set so that siege not used in 30 mins disappears. Beyond that…what….should there be a kitten meter for players, or maybe something like “you’ve done too many kitteny things in the last 30 seconds, please wait at least a minute before attempting to be a kitten again”.
As for the saboteurs…hate to say but WvW isn’t a refereed game of tag in middle school where the teacher will put the mean kids in timeout because they aren’t playing “fair”. I have never sabotaged siege and I never would because that’s not my style, and I’m only half-way playing devil’s advocate. When you leave siege laying around, you are taking a risk that even a noob with good intentions will mess it up. WvW is battle and war, and sometimes the enemy uses dirty tactics. Sometimes you have a spy in your camp, or a saboteur sneaking across the lines, so to speak. Maybe I might be thinking too literally in terms of battle and war, but let’s say you’re in a battalion and you find out some saboteur has burned down your siege equipment or supply, are you going to stand on a soap-box and rally the people about how it isn’t fair and someone needs to stop those bad buys from being so bad? No, you’re going to learn from your mistakes, maybe put a guard on the stuff that matters, and think twice before you get too comfortable that you feel you can leave a valuable weapon sitting unattended.
I get it and I agree it is a problem, but trying to find a solution that is FAIR and not too totalitarian is going to be tough.
When new tactics come into play, we adapt and we re-strategize. I remember first encountering a stacking zerg….at first people griped about it, but then they adapted and created new strategy. Anyways, I talk too much….over and out.
The problem I have with this is there’s no real way to counter this. In real war, no you wouldn’t get on a soapbox and talk to the other soldiers about how unfair it is. You’d put a few guards up and shoot the guy next time he tries it. But you can’t shoot your team mates in WvW. Best thing you can do to my knowledge is jump in the golem he’s trying to run over to that 20 man zerg before he does.
Im tired of the 1000 engineers with this build already. Its needs to be nerfed. I have no clue how difficult it is to play but when I see a cookie cutter build for a class it tells me its op.
Only build we seem to have at the moment. Although if you’d like to try to find another build for the OP engineer go for it.
If you’re having fun with what you’re doing, then by all means continue. Here’s some suggestions for other event chains you can try:
Kessex Hills (also lots of people): http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/The_Battle_of_Fort_Salma
Diessa Plateau: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/A_Celebration_of_MeatA few levels later you can try Harathi Hinterlands: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Seraph_Assault_on_Centaur_Camps
The two Centaur chains have >5 people at all times on Jade Quarry because people farm them to level characters. Also the Centaurs drop bags of which the contents sell for more than anything the Queensdale events give you, unless you get exotics from the Shadow Behemoth chest or something. The Harathi one also gives a guaranteed rare chest, so I use that chain whenever I want to get my daily rare item.
Problem is, I’m not having fun. I want to do other events, I want to see what else is out there. The problem is that I die when I try to do these events. Why? Because I’m not level 80 yet with the best gear in the game. Why do I need to be that decked out? Because no one else is trying to do these events. And the Blood Witch kills me. And liberating Ascalon Settlement takes forever alone. Or insert problem with event that could be solved by either max stats or actually having more than 1 – 5 people doing it.
I had a feeling that when I left the game for few months that players would be farming the most efficient events in the game. And I was right. So why leave Queensdale for any other event until you can solo them?
“You’re all mouth breathing cowards that can’t do anything.”
Me: “So if you hate the server so much, why stay on it?”
“LOL for the buff of course. Now lemme farm these frogs.”
God I hate people on my server so much. Not there to help just to use the buff. Glad to know we’re so bad you can take advantage of it. Also CAN WE HOLD OUR KEEP FOR JUST ONE DAY PEOPLE?!?!?
Loot
Challenge
Fun
As I said, these events seem to give out decent enough loot. The other events aren’t challenging so much as they are impossible with just one level 30ish engineer trying to do it. So when you’ve died for the 3 time on an event that no one else is around for miles, there went the fun.
People do those events because they’re already in Queensdale. Why? The main reason is that people are waiting for the Shadow Behemoth zone boss to spawn and killing Champion mobs is a good way to pass the time. Also a lot of players before GW2 released had indicated in multiple polls that they were going to play humans since that’s the race you had to play in GW1 and they somehow still felt a connection with the human nation. As a result, a lot of people know Queensdale like the back of their hand and it’s far easier for them to event farm that zone as opposed to another zone.
Which makes me question why they made so many events for other places if everyone is sitting in Queensdale.
Right so; Cave Troll, Ancient Oakheart, Giant Boar, Wasp Queen, and Shadow Behemoth in Queensdale.
Why do any other event when these are easy, give decent enough rewards, and more importantly have a TON of players doing them at all times. I’ve never seen any where near the numbers gather for other events on other maps, not even the other races starting areas.
I’m a little frustrated yes, but something seems wrong here. Or am I at that really odd level of 30ish where no one does those events.
I believe I’m done trying to play Engineer in PVP. I don’t care if we have the ‘broken’ build in the game with HGH. I can’t even get started trying to practice without getting face rolled by Mesmers. So forget it, time to roll something else up and see well I score when I’m just rolling my face on the keyboard.
Actually the biggest problem I have with Mesmers is all their clones. As I said in my first post, a Mesmer seems able to double the player count. That and how long the clones seem to last. There was one time where I was fighting what I thought was a Mesmer but turned out to be all clones. The real guy had left after making his army.
Throw in that I’m not good at the controls to keep locked onto someone and most Mesmers tend to eat me alive.
Yap hotjoins are dominated by thiefs/mesmers. If its any consolation, the higher the level of play you go the less you will see this.
so if you want to get serious about tourney pvp start quing up and farming up ur mmr. Once you get a high rating teams like this disappear as that sort of team comp will get you destroyed when your facing decent opponents.
I’ll keep that in mind. If it helps, I’m an Engineer and not a very good one.
So I’ve recently got into PVPing, to get away from the whole zerg rush of WvW. Yeah silly me, due to how many Mesmers I see.
Maybe it’s due to being new, solo, and other factors. But every match it’s basically won already just based on the team that has the most mesmers. Turn a 8v8 into a 8v20, why not.
So rather than just complain about them more, what can you do to play around them?
