Guild Wars 2

Guys for the record, this post was just to show the amazing bugged stag I found, riding a mount trying to kill everyone who damaged it. But I do agree that mounts in WvW wouldn’t be a bad thing, so long as they use a system such as territories, and it is on the desert bl or a larger bl they add later? (hint hint wink wink)

Here’s my two cents, we as players will not get mounts, but all the ambient creatures and stags will get mounts.

Its hard to deny it now, ArenaNet has chosen this stag to showcase its new WvW mounts.
Sorry for xpack spoilers

Hammer primal actually isn’t that bad at all. Its a chain interrupt and immobilize. In all honesty warriors best place is frontline dps, so sword warhorn isn’t as needed as it once was. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vJAQJARSnMdA1kidhAOeAkiglqATpH04yBvj2U7sFZx1ACAA-TFCBABA8EA+U9n0UCmnuguU6Z0+DepMYjLBApAGbZE-w

check that build out. 3700 armor, health is low but not needed because you tick close to 1k healing per second due to adrenal healing. over 2,000 power, over 1,000 ferocity, around 60% crit chance with fury. The damage is insane, and its fun to play and works well with groups because you will simply generate downs all on your own.

if its group utility you want, when spec for healing shout frontline works well. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vJAQNBiYD7kKRozDsyDwxDgOEM8DU5Wk4VBe75QLYPQA0AA-TFCBQBiR53GuIAPSJ4+OCAKU9nqs/AAeAADS3ApAcaBA-w

that builds shouts will heal for 2k+, you have 2 shouts on hand and a 3rd through traits, and if you want you can swap the healing for a third shout, that heals for a total of 12k to you and 2kish to allies. And very high damage aswell

there isn’t a set thing where all of bg says “Lets not show up so we can open up” bg literally just gets…bored..

I’ve heard BG players explicitly say that they drop their participation so they can juke the player population count.

Whats the fun in not playing for a few weeks so you can outstack the other servers in the current game? none. Maybe back during seasons, but the past year has been stale and stacking isn’t anyone priority as far as I’m aware. the year my guild has been on bg not once has the server taken a break to open up

People on BG were trying to sort out the population calculation so they could game it. Let’s call the technique #Hiberstacking

Why would they do it? So they can … win when it matters™

Not that it will ever matter again. BG’s bloated population was frequently asking about the next tournament and when they found out there was none planned … They went back to hiberstacking mode again.

conspiracies, I am curious to where you get your information.

there isn’t some big thing going on with bg, we just play to have fun, winning means absolutely nothing anymore

When you queue all 4 maps, it mean people cannot enter. Shouldn’t that mean “full”?

I can only assume FA and Maguuma queued all maps aswell.

I’m just pointing that your argument about small queues when all 4 maps have one is flawed regardless of the size of the queues.

You are very right, the queue means nothing. I was just simply stating that it was very low for a tier one server, while the queues on DB were 30-40 all night on the bls and they are a HOST server that is still open.

When the queues on reset only got as high as 6 on the borderlands, then you have to question how ‘full’ bg actually is.

When every second BG who comes to the forums says that the only reason they’re losing is because they’re ‘on a break’ and they have been saying that since before the first season, I see no reason not to take them at their word.

For better or worse this was an expected consequence of linked servers. Population naturally bleeds out of the servers which are full (TC, BG, YB) and into non-full servers. I’ve been tossing up moving to Kaineng simply because TC is full.

At the end of the day I don’t really care about BG dropping into T2. What I’m more interested in is whether, by the end of the season, T1 will be entirely comprised of linked servers. If guilds are able to move into T1 because of linked servers, it’ll ultimately be a more lively scene.

RodOfDeath.5247:

All I’ve seen from you BG guys in the forums lately is “Bg isn’t playing right now, we on break mode”. Don’t question the ppt.

That’s more or less exactly what I expect from BG. Frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised if ANet has explicitly restructured the server pop status to bias against BG to protect the game against their ‘breaks’.

When the queues on reset only got as high as 6 on the borderlands, then you have to question how ‘full’ bg actually is. as far as I know bg isn’t trying to not show up, just people are currently bored. t1 was a snooze tier.

ND carries, enough said.

If you’re going to nerf resistance to the amount of protection, then you need to nerf condi stats. make them take 3 stats to get a good amount of damage like it is with physical. The cry about resistance is upsetting to see, knowing how overpowered and strong condis are. Resistance is the only counter to conditions in the current meta, as a guilded group you CANNOT pack nearly enough condi cleanse to counter the meta. If resistance is removed rip wvw. There would have to be a nerf to condis if there was a nerf to resistance

Hello, I am a guild leader of [DwT] and main driver. We run with 15 people most nights or less. We’re always out for a fight.

BG will queue most nights at NA on all maps, the queues very depending on the guilds on the maps. We are very aware BG is stacked high, but that does not mean all of BG blobs. The list of guilds on the opposing servers that run the same numbers as us are small.

During NA we have no choice but to pick a map with a larger guild because the layout of the ABL’s SUPPORT blobbing.You’ll most often find us off doing our own thing on the opposite side of the map, ready to support the larger force if needed.

So unless we come across a havoc guild running 10 people we are always outmanned, and putting a title on a entire server because ebg is blobby or some guilds run more then 30 is unfair to the smaller guilds that work hard.

I highly respect the TC and YB guilds that do come out to fight against the odds. Personally I would rather be the underdog again (as most servers would), Winning means nothing when there isn’t any fight for 1st place

[DwT] is always looking for openfield fights and Scrims, message me in-game and we can organize some.

Thank you for the update

What we need is 4 tiers. Keep the first 3 tiers and have their current partners permanently merged. Make the final tier 4 all new servers with free transfers to those new servers. Population Balance will never happen unless anet manually forces it, and making servers “full” is not going to force it.

This bug just started after this patch. I’ll be running with my zerg in wvw and the commander will disappear along with most the zerg, although I can still see them on my mini map. Sometimes ally nameplates disappear and the commander tag will randomly stop moving and slowly fade away.
I can see all enemy player models and name plates, the issue is only with allies.

I have completed the jumping puzzle 3 times, and each time it says the target area was complete, followed by “Guild Mission Complete”. It hasn’t given me guild rewards any time, still says I am eligible for them.

The day this happens is the day I leave gw2 to never return. Leave WvW how it is, go to eotm for this.

To be fair, the outmanned buff is the only reason I found my precurser

So if BG is a fairweather server, what does that make YB?

Everyone knows BG “hibernates” when there isn’t a reason to play, the linking and alpines is a reason to come play.

This is NOT a bug. Watergate is the most suicidal gate to attack, its a tight space and you can put untouchable ac’s to hit it. If watergate inner was fortified then it would rarely ever be attacked. Its actually more viable to attack South East gate then it is to try watergate.
The gate looks different for a reason.

I agree
Thank you all that spent the time and effort to ship such a great patch. I can not express how happy and excited I am to get back out there! <3

IMO there isn’t anything wrong with new BLs. I actually really enjoy them. The south of fire is AMAZING, same with air. East and West of garri is awesome and open. its easier to navigate, just will take time getting used to again

Everything we asked and more! Really listening to the community.
I haven’t been so excited about a patch till today. I’ve circled the New and Improved BL’s over and over, each time in just as much excitement as the first.

First fix CoR before you nerf something as simple as wells. They have a 40s cool-down, and TBH aren’t THAT strong, ele lava font does more on a five second cd, and Rev CoR does FAR MORE on a less cd. as for boon corrupt, that has always been broken.

Want to avoid necro wells? well then don’t step in the giant red circle. Want to avoid CoR? hope you’re lucky

You can’t blame Anet. TC is open, people can move as they please.
It is the same guilds that got YB to T1. Blame the guilds, not the servers, not anet

[ND] Is god Tier.
By far one of the best guilds I have seen.

I would stay away from Tier 1 and Tier 2. Anything below is somewhat dead outside of NA Prime-Time, so roaming should be good.

Great job anet! this is a step in the right direction for wvw

+1
Completely agree.
Great job
