Guild Wars 2

Definition of swifness, where it says that stacks on duration, it is not debatable, so why a skill that provides swiftness is not stacking duration? to me its a clear broken mechanic on that skill.

Hello, I like the siege golems in WvW I think they are awesome and pretty useful, but, last times I’ve build golems, ramdom people just take them and suicide them, or simple take them where I did not want. And that was my golem, why if all other siege weapons can be re-taken by their ‘owner’ the golems can’t, and they are the most expensive!

1 skill in the utility bar of skills that allow the owner, lock the golem for only he can be the driver would be great. this property should be always true the first time u deploy the blue print, if the owner wants to share his golem with the general comunity, simple unlock it.

Never but if you know about parties you wouldn’t have asked that question.

you’re speaking in an extremely hypothetical situation where you assume you would pick up “the right classes” in your party. So if you don’t pick up a guardian, a warrior, etc, you don’t get these boons? If you’re a thief, or ranger, where noone wants you in the party, you don’t deserve to get these crucial boons when you most need it?
or should we treat this game as our second job, and we’re forced to roll classes that we don’t like to play with.

I give a +1 to this comment, the words ‘u must have’ or ‘u should join a party with x’ sounds more like a job than a game.

Anet promised a not classic holy trinity gameplay, if u must be in a party with a guardian or a warrior, or be 1 of them to get a party, this is even worst than the original holy trinity.

How ever, I’ve seen in my server, ‘veterans pugs’ beat hammer trains taking advantage of the predictible they are, splitting around and killing them little by little, with boon removals

Here is the SS of the missing merchant

Why not even tell me some kind of: dont be nub, u can hide by writing x or something -.-

ok sorry the messy details: I am a player that belongs to Maguuma server, I joined to Borlis pass BL to play, in this BL is the missing merchant, in Borliss pass borderland, being a Maguuman player.

You should talk to the mesmer from [EP] and tell him he/she is just there for Veil and Time warp.. see how that goes over.

LOL, its like asking me what a Ranger brings to a zerg, I’ll chew your ear off but I know what our limits are compared to our professions. Its the truth, what is the point of the Mesmer in a GvG other than Veil or Timewarp? A GvG group will only need one Mesmer, hell a zerg of 40+ only really need one/two Mesmers. I play a Mesmer and I understand there group mechanics and the are very limited and pigeonhole to a few gimmicky skills in WvW large group play.

Like I said go talk to them. That mesmer helped [EP] destroy casters during the fights I watched. they aren’t there for “just veil and timewarp”…

After just facing EP, thinking a mesmer is JUST there for the veil and timewarp is silly. They are there for many other reasons. From an outsiders pov GvGing might be a waste of time and might not contribute as much as other players looking to “increase/hold PPT”. The truth is that most GvG guilds play wvw to kill other players rather than sitting in towers because playing the PPT game burns people out. I mean who wouldn’t want that feeling of accomplishment when you wipe a 60 man zerg with 20 people?

I’d like to see a video of 20 people wiping that 60 zergs, could u link 1 please?

While most sane people stopped caring about the score a year ago, some still cling to the notion that WvW is a competitive game type with PPT being the indicator of success or failure. You’ve seen them, the crazy people who want to hold a tower “for the tick,” as if matters. Those are the types who don’t like GvG.

Nice generalization, but that’s not always the case. I want to hold the tower because it’s ours, it’s on our side or on our map and I try my everything to keep it that way. Why? Because I love siege warfare, because I love crashing castles and holding it to show for whom it belongs to. It’s not even remotely about PPT, I don’t give a kitten about it. I was initially pulled into WvW because of the style of warfare: fight for territory and structures, the very same thing that kept me hooked to Warhammer Online. And no, I do not hate open scale fights nor do I prefer to use siege in a fight. On the contrary, I enjoy small to large scale fights in the fields with nothing but sword and sorcery, but when those fights are dealth with, I want to keep pushing for that enemy keep or get back to tend to our keep. GvG? Do what you want, but don’t lump everyone that doesn’t agree with you as an enemy of your precious GvG.

Plus, to call crazy people to the people who do not think like you, just show the kind of behavior some af the gvg players show for the players who do not like in some way the gvg.

armorcrafter.5934:

This basically they same debate that existed when I played DAOC.

If you want to GvG, fine play your way and I’ll play mine.

BUT…

What am I supposed to do when I get rolled by the enemy GvG team that’s supposedly in WvW “just for the fights”?? When the enemy GvG team is flipping our camps & towers even thought they here “just for the fights”??

You see the problem it presents. On one hand you want to be left alone to “have good fights” so then you should only be running through a BL to your fight club location and leaving everything and everyone else alone.

That rarely happens.

LOL that happened to me, I saw a full guild heading to the designed GvG place and like in any other ocation when Im not on a zerg and see 1 zerg group is heading to me I tryed to position to avoid the combat (or my dead better written) but then I read, don’t worry that guild is doing GvG, so I did not run far enough of them, just to get smashed like 20v1

So yes, it happens and a lot, they want the most absolute of the respect in their battles, but if they feel in mood, while they running to their battles they can crash any small group they find

Mooodster.3470:

well have you read some of the gvgers posts? calling people noobs scrubs and numerous other names generally doesnt make whoever your talking about the happiest person in the world….spamming wvw streams with gvg so people with honest question actually related to wvw cant ask them doesn’t help…

i know its not just the gvgers and the non gvgers say plenty of things themselves so hopefully that answers your question

ps i do hope that the gvgers get there own arena just so that the community can stop being divided over some issues (blood lust anyone)

Yes, this is an important factor in the hostility between the gvgers and wvwers. For the gvg, if you do not like gvg, its because you are bad, skillness and similar, what is wrong if I dont like run a hammer train with some eles spaming water fields on me -think the wvw players.

All bl have merchants, but the one of Red BL is not, the red BL of this week was Borlis Pass to Maguuma, my home server, this is anoying cuz I must change bl if I want to get savage kits

look at your back pack, I had similar problem I selected stats to all but my back pack

Same with the skill 3 of the sword of mesmers, does nothing when there is a terrain variation.

Nobody knows about it? I want to know cuz that was a suspicious player, not said hi, not said bye, and could not read his map/server information when u mouse over the portrait.

Dranul.2094:

No to stats and power creep. I remember words from ANET – there would be no grind, there would be no power creep.

Between ascended and soon ascended armour, the difference is getting bigger and bigger. Grind2win, rather than WvW being open to all (as they envisioned). Almost becoming like WAR, with RR gear destroying fresh 80s. It pretty much is already, the WXP, skill less, pvd karma farmers with their 400+ WXP ranks and like 10k kills have much more use in WvW – like draining supply with trebs, defending their precious points. While the guys with 200 wxp ranks and over 100k kills get penalised.

How bout some rewards for WvW kills.

Yes, I’m totally agree, I can understand what they must tie you somehow to the game, laurels work fine for that, but this ascended stuff really go against their first words of: there will be not grinding in gw2 and if you want to do wvw from the very start you can do it, with such difference right now 1 ascended geared 80 can 3 hits a fresh 80 player.

Oh, and no, I do not want direct stats

Tonight 1 person joined our party and I could not see their map/server information, is there a way to hide it??

Hello, Anet I’ve already made a support request prior to read this thread, I do not want make money, I do not want exploit anything in the game, I just want, my ascended trinkets being account bound just like u said over and over.

we all, who got this mf ascended, got them with the rules of the game u made for us, then, for some reason, u change this rules, fine, just let us have our 120 or whatever laurels we spent in mf ascended trinlets please, keep ur word.

why would u flag an item like account bound when it is already account bound? who buy an item for keep it in the inventory? nobody, we all bought them because we wanted to use them, now are useless and we do not want see our laurels wasted like that.

The exotics ones I really dont care, I can craft myself new armor, for the people who not farm a lot is an issue and they should be listened too.

Just like I said before, keep your word, and dont make us waste the laurels we earned.

Snowstorm.3897:

GvG’s, or ‘kill trading’, are interrupted enough at the windmill as it is. The EB JP is quite literally the home of trolls in WvW, so trying to get through a single round while having people AoE’ing us from above or from the sides would be quite literally impossible. Sorry to kill your dream flute, but sadly EB JP is a no no.

Oh, then if I dont want see you around my bl what I need to do is spam aoe in your battles?
ty and noted

I found this old thread https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Error-code-7-11-3-189-101-4/first talking about this error, with same characteristics than now we are having. In that thread I could not find a response of Anet, I hope this time be different, I link it cuz maybe help track the problem. Lost packages in certain maps

Hi, I understand that free transfer is a mess to WvW, but I really want to play with UE friends without buying a new copy of game, I hope soon guesting can be improved to be able to visit my friends in UE.

Do you have friends u would like play with them from another region? post it here, maybe we can be listened some day =)

Nurse.1085:

I’ve always found it odd how my Greatsword damage is almost equal to my One-handed Sword damage. Melee damage is suppose to be higher than Ranged (because of the high risk involved) but it doesn’t feel that way at the moment with a Ranger’s GS.

I remember fearing GS damage in beta.

Yep me too, I’ve been playing 1 hand sword and war horn, then I wanted to give a try to the GS, and I see the dmg its almost the same than the 1h sword, they should improve the damage, I feel sad when I see my wife’s tanky guardian build can critic for 3k and I’m happy with I critic for 1.5k -.-

The problem is in culling. Youre standing there with your 10-20 buds and you see another group approaching that looks about the same size… you prepare to engage— and then bodies litter the ground. You’ve just been culling trained. Before you even saw your enemies you where killed by hammers and their crazy control effects, D/D mages and their insane burst, etc. And there is nothing you can do about it.

Culling seems to be the answer to everything. But you’re wrong. Even if you cant see your enemy due to culling you see your health bar dropping. If your health is dropping its time to move and dodge away.

Its so kitten simple to prevent AOE for a large group: just dont stand all in one place!

Ive played DAOC for ages and the first lesson learned for everyone in RVR was to spread out on INC. Guess what? It worked. It worked although AOE in DAOC was far stronger than in GW2.

Its so simple and effective to counter AOE just by NOT standing all in the same place.

But exactly that is the point, AOEs should force people spread out, but guess what, the 5 men damage limit on AOE makes people stay together, if 30 people stack each other 25 will not take damage at all from 1 aoe skill

Hi I am a WvW player as well, I like to do some dungeons too, I don’t enjoy that much JP
I stop playing WvW because it was not fun fighting every week 10 vs 50 due the free home transfer, but I found that finished, ok, WvW I’m back.
But I find that even with my full exotic gear, craftet by myself I cant reach same stats of other players, the reason is ascended items; ok I’m gonna try get them, wait a second I must do a lot of runs in a dungeon and that dundeon has some jp as well? I don’t like this, I do not want to be forced to do dungeons to play with same stats in WvW, I’m totally agree with this suggestion, I don’t want to fight with a hadicap just because I don’t enjoy that much the dungeons

Here are some easy maths about this issue,
-.Rings.-

(Ascended) Red Ring of Death: pow: 103 pre: 68 crit-dmg: 8%
total (2 rings): 206, 136, 16%

(Exotic) Ruby O Ring of Berserker (with exquisite Ruby jewel): pow: 69 pre: 63 crit-dmg: 6%
total (2 rings): 138, 126, 12%

difference – 80 power, 10 precision, 4% critical damage

-.Amulet.-

(Ascended) Mark of the Tethyos Houses: pow: 126 pre: 85 crit-dmg: 9%

(Exotic) Ruby Orichalcum Amulet of the berserker: pow: 115 pre: 79 crit-dmg: 8%

difference – 11 power, 6 precision, 1% critical damage

Total difference (advatage – disadvantage of asceded over exotic jewerly)

91 power, 16 precision, 5% critical damage

I hope ANet look at this and do not force us (WvW players) to do dungeons, or wait 3 months to get the jewerly and even with that running dungeons too.

Note: I do not want ascended items for free, badges are a good idea to pay for them and totally agree about remove them from the reward of the JP, it’s kinda annoying to see how while enemy is hitting at door of the Garrison while people is doing JP and real pvpers are in que.

Thor.1756:

The fact of the matter is, an organized group can take on and defeat zergs twice their size with little difficulty, often using these very strategies that you argue favor zergs (coordinated buffing, stacking to mitigate aoe, not stopping to finish downed players, reviving their own quickly). Disorganized masses of people don’t use these strategies, and if they are, then they’re using teamwork and skill, and should absolutely be beating groups smaller than them. If you’re getting rolled by groups larger than you, you’re not doing it right, or they’re just good. end of story.

That being said, I will say that might stacks on fire fields is excessive, mostly when comparing it to other fields (3 stacks of might for 20 seconds vs. 3 seconds of retaliation on a retaliation field).

Im not agree with you, the maths are clear, there is no strategy or skill, by simple stacking 30 people in 1 spot, with that u guarantee a -50% of dmg that u would get in a 5v5 battle if u are facing a smaller number of enemies, The small group can flank, can aoe and they still will get advantage of that 5 cap aoe thing.

Mandena.6109:

Selfishness ruining the game for 2 entire servers is a shame. Those newly transferred players to SoS will be crapping their pants when they get destroyed by a top 5 server next week.

hey dude, I have news for u, they dont need to worry about that, because they will keep having free transfers, wo, who cares about compete, they simply will jump to the winning server as well, feeding the strong servers every week.

ok, here is the humble opinion of a Maguma WvW player:

First than all I like WvW I love it, because IF (with caps) numbers are balanced, the winning side is the one with the best strategy, I like that, I really enjoy it.

But that its a very big IF specially in last 3 weeks, as far as I can understand, DB is complaining now for the lack of numbers when 3 weeks ago this server totally crash MG due the lack of players of MG in WvW.
SoS is enjoying right now of this silly (not trying be rude) free server transfer, in next match, when they face a more populated or same populated but better organized server start to dominate the WvW match, that huge zerg players ‘wanna-win-all-time’ just will jump to that winning server messing match again.
So the main problem of matching is that high number of volatile players, and that will continue happening while the free server transfer continue.
Sadly for the players like me who love the WvW, 1 more week we simple must avoid playing WvW because it’s near to impossible to have fun there, people is demoralized to play, maybe they not leave the server, but for sure are not playing WvW anymore.
idk how Anet determine the points and the matches, but population should be a very important factor, not population of server, because MG is FULL of bots, not kidding, 2 from each 5 players in see in pve are bots, they should count the population of the server who actually join to WvW.
