Guild Wars 2

Changing the face of war? How about 5 guys spending half an hour to hunt down a perma invis deadeye in SM. He could interrupt us while ressing without getting spotted, be could just yolo everywhere and get away with it. When you finally caught him and got him to low hp he would simply blink/dodge away in stealth and come out full hp again. The sad thing is that after 30 minutes we did not catch him, we just gave up and went somewhere else…

As the title says, I am looking for an artist to make me a YT banner and logo for me to use on my channel. My channel is mostly GW2 and WoT related.

I can either pay you with a gem gift or with ingame gold. Post a reply or send me a PM.

I did my first succesfull pug run of VG a few weaks ago and now I want more. I am looking for a “casual” and friendly raiding/fractal guild that can teach me the ropes.

Who am I? Started playing a week after the release of the game, nearly 5k hours played and have 25k + AP. My main is a Druid with a full asc/legendary build conform with the qT website (100+ AR).

I am eager to learn, and can handle constructive critism. If your guild is known for their salt then don’t contact me, I already get my daily dose of salt from playing World of Tanks. My main is and has always been Ranger/Druid and since I am working on my 7th legendary I cannot afford to fully gear/master another class.

feel free to send me an ingame whisper/mail if you have space or if you want to bring me along for a training run.

Extraordinary Gentlemen [EXG]

Guild Age: Since Headstart
Server: Multiserver (But most of us are based on Desolation)
Guild Type: Social PvX
Age restriction: 18+

Extraordinary Gentlemen [EXG] is a friendly, mature and experienced community of around 50 members. We are a vibrant and capable guild of active and dedicated players. EXG is the home of invested rookies, classy veterans, and a few kitten y Quaggan-lovers.

We are all gentleman gamers.

Our main ambition as a social PvX guild is to provide a community were we can develop ourselves both as great persons as well as gamers. The two should in no way be mutually exclusive! This means Extraordinary Gentlemen values personal character and attitude as much as skill and experience.

PvX Guild. EXG was established during the three day head-start of GW2 in 2012. Thanks to our dedicated player base and community focus we are still going strong. Our core players are on Desolation but we are now recruiting from other servers too. Ever since the early days we have been a notable presence on our home server, and enjoy a very good reputation among the community members.

PvP Arena, Guild Missions and Other Activities

EXG has a steady, team-oriented presence in PvE, PvP and WvW.

PvP: We have our own PvP arena, where players can meet up and train. We also host in-guild PvP tournaments. Naturally, members also party up for ranked and unranked PvP.

Guild Missions: We have a fully unlocked guild tech tree, which (amongst other things) lets us host our own Guild Missions. We do GMs on Saturdays, at 18:00 GMT/Server Time. Note, when doing bounty hunt, you don’t touch Pobadoo, EVER. If you do, we will hunt you down, we will find you, and you will not be a happy camper

PvE: Coming from a PvX backround, many of our members are also well-versed and equipped for PvE aspects of the game, meaning there’s a high chance you can do your dungeons, fractals or map events with guild mates instead of pugs.

Social Events: We often come up with other events, such as treasure hunts, races, or other activities that add spice and variation to guild life.

Recruitment: While EXG’s players come from a large variety of countries and many walks of life, we are united as a guild. EXG members equally value both personal growth and skilled gameplay as a team. We invest in ourselves for the benefit of those we game with. Our goal is to create the best gaming environment possible. We would welcome applications from experienced, enthusiastic gamers with a friendly attitude and team player mindset.

Same here, tried it too, no response.

Looking for an active guild for PvE (HoT) for a seasoned player (4000+ hours, 11 lvl 80 toons). If you know a guild or are in one, let me know.

I am NOT looking for guilds that:
-Spam mapchat with invites and invite random people
-Have 300+ members of which only 25 or so are active
-Have people not repping
-Have mandatory events

Ok, so the method of obtaining the precursers for the new legendaries will change. Which is awsome news for me because after 4k+ hours in 2,5 years of playing I have yet to recieve a precurser. Curse you RNG and Zommoros!

But, in the blog post it says:

The methods by which you’ll craft these legendary weapons are similar to the existing system, but we’ve refined it into more of a journey, similar to precursor crafting.

With the current legendaries you need:
-Gift of Mastery
-Gift or Fortune
-Legendary specific precurser
-Legendary specific gift

Does this mean that crafting the new legendary itself will also change? Do we still need the gift of fortune and the legendary specific gift?

Doing the Hidden Garden jumping puzzle in Mount Maelstrom in 1st person mode. Game maxed out with FXAA. Took me a while before I nailed it perfectly.

Like the title says, this evening (2300-2400 CET) our entire zerg disconnected twice during big fights in EB (Deso-FSP-SFR matchup). When we all get back in our keep lords have the Righteous Indignation buff and the sentries got reset.

Dedicated to all the scouts out there that have such an important role in WvW, even though the game itself hardly rewards them for it. It shows the effects on the state of mind this job has when done for an extended period of time ;-)

The “Protect krewe leader Dobbs as the krewe clears the excavation site” event in Timberline Fall’s does not start, ever.
-The npc is nowere to be found and as a result of that we cannot start the event chain.
-Because of that we cannot complete it and the reward NPC Tepp does not spawn.
-It’s impossible to complete the Brewmaster collection achievement at this time.

Ok, here is what I know so far:

*You need to use your oldest character (mine is just over two years) for the first NPC or you will not be able to interact with her for the 1st part. I could not interact with the NPC on another character that was created only a few months ago.

*The first two other NPCs in LA are there where the previous posters mentioned them. They dissapear/reappear every few minutes, just wait there for a while.

*The last three NPCs that are located outside of LA are not there anymore (I followed the 2012 Dulfy guide). I teamed up with some other people that were also looking for them and they had no luck either. We waited for it to become night again, nothing. Some guy camped the graveyard in QD for over an hour, nothing.

So in short, I think these NPCs were never intentionally placed there with this release, Anet simply forgot to delete them after the 2012 event. I still hope Anet does something with this scavenger hunt though. I only started playing GW2 just before the 2012 event and like a true MMO noob I didn’t do most of these things back then. This is my chance to still complete this backpack so I can add it to my wardrobe.

After the last living story ended (+/-) the GW2 launcher no longer remembers my password, even after I installed again GW2 on my new PC. Any tips on how to solve this? It’s not the end of the world but since my account got hacked 1,5 year ago I use a rather long and complicated password.

Now that the miniatures and outfits are all accountbound in the wardrobe system, how about doing the same for the toys that we have? Most of the outfits (Halloween theme plus the old pirate and cook one) have toys that go with them. It would be great if these were added too so we could acces them from all characters with the click of a button.

We do multiple attempts on a daily base. Today we got it down to 5% multiple times, last attempt was just weird. The wurm only took a fraction of the damage we dealt in the previous attempts.

FSP is getting there…

02:30@ night, a wild AM blob appears (50+)!

FSP uses defend! (x25 players), It’s not very effective.

AM uses golems against T1, It’s very effective.

AM flips whole border in 30 minutes.

AM leaves border.

All I can say is: clap well clap done clap AM. You truly live up to your name. Sending in a blob in the middle of the night, feel proud of your skills.

Last week(s) we got our behinds kicked by Piken but atleast we we able to have some fun in group versus group battles. This week we have Blobbadon again and the only tactic they know is.. Blob.

Skill means nothing anymore in WvW, numbers is all you need.

What server/Guild is it that you were fighting? Even in HD and fullscreen I can’t make out the tags. They sure did scatter allot making it easy farming for your concentrated group.

Even though the matchup is kinda FUBAR, we still managed to have some fun since PS actually uses tactics other then the big blob of doom (like Blobbadon AM does).

FSP bay this evening:

Groutesk.6082:

Anyone know who is leader of guild [GoT]?

That would be Rhas, why you ask?

Ahhh yet another week of being farmed, how lovely.

Two weeks ago Gandara/AG.
Last week Blobbadon (AM)
And now we are getting farmed by PS.

25 ticks for FSP as we speak, gg anet. Time for yet another week of PvE! Srsly, this new matchup is system is proving to be horrible for FSP.

Caliban.3176:

LOL, Augury Rock, Underworld, Fort Ranik. This makes so much sense. Thanks Anet. Awesome job.

I know how you feel… For the past few weeks FSP (T5) has been matched to T3 servers only.

Two weeks ago FSP was farmed by Gandara/AG.

Last week we were farmed by Globbadon (Abbadon’s Mouth) who outmanned FSP and Gandarra 2:1 easelly. In the end they had olmost as much points as FSP and Gandarra COMBINED. This was a horrible week for me since all AM could do is blob 40+ and faceroll the map.

This week it seems we will be getting farmed by Piken Square, they already have more points then FSP and DL combined. (Current FSP tick 25…)

Well done Anet, you have made WvW more challenging and exiting for us. No really, thank you, you did a wonderfull job.

Not that strange, you are a T2 server, we are T5/6.

What happens when you have to endure (yet another) a week of being facerolled by a server who can outman you on your own border by running around in a 40+ blob? And do nothing else but blob? It magically mutates WvW commanders into PvE commanders! Getting players to flock to world events has never been easier. Might stacking, waterfields, the dragons have never been slain so fast. The poor things… Even the temples in Orr have never seen so many visitors!

But to be honest, this new system has been rather bad for FSP (EU). Last week we faced Gandara with their mighty zergs. Only in the end of the week did we have some fun when they started playing in smaller groups. Then we finally got what we play WvW for, tense and small scale (<20) fights between groups where the tactics, not the numbers, determined who won. Thanks Yak and XxX, we had allot of fun fighting you.

This week we and Gandara were matched up against Abaddon’s Mouth, we faced them before some months ago and we know they have numbers. But this is just a gamekiller, having to fight 40, 50+ blobs non stop. Fighting all day just to retake your own border only to lose it again in 15 minutes when the almighty AM blob appears again. Let’s hope the next matchup will be kinder to FSP, we have lost allot of WvW guilds and players in the last weeks because of the matchmaking.

Outmanned on our own border and facerolled by a 50+ AM blob. Loving this matchup already. Time for PvE untill Anet decides to give us a more balanced matchup.

http://assets.enjin.com/wall_embed_images/1370695189_GermansLV.gif

AM must still be mad because they ended up 3rd last week XD. AM has always been strong during the reset, running multiple blobs of doom on all the maps. Fortunately they run out of steam quite fast. FSP on the other hand needs some time to warm up and usually does better later on in the week.

And yes, a spawn has three exits, use them instead of whining about a blocking party here. Blocking the enemy spawn to stop reinforcements and demoralizing the players is very effective and we also use it. The hardcore WvW players may stay but the pugs usually leave after a few wipes = battle half won.

Coming from a FSP player. Now gimme your badges!

People… We are having a nice week with good battles all around (From all sides). Stop blaiming an entire server when you see one single person glitching. Just take screenshots and report them. Those are much more effective than a post here. This forum already has a negative fibe with all the servers/guilds accusing eachother of glitching, teamworking etc.

So the ‘Great Russian Alliance’ hops to our server. Xaoc… sigh…. FSP did just fine without them. I really enjoyed the matchup so far, it is quite balanced (finally) and the fights are good.

First they left for Vabbi only with their “Look at us! Omfg we have 695 ticks! w00t!”, only to leave it after a week or so. Then they moved to GH where they got beaten by, you guessed it, FSP… Then they serverhopped again, half of them stayed @ GH and the others left to another server… And now they want to join us?

-They can give us good morning coverage.
-But the queue will be even longer.
-They can help us to move up to tier 3.
-But FSP will fall badly down the ladder when they leave again after they had their filling…

The matchup is good as it is, why can´t people just leave it as it is…

Go forth my minions!

Looks like the server hopping was:

This evening I had 4 crashes while running fractals. The crash most often happens when switching maps, sometimes out of the blue. I had this a while ago when this happened allot so I completely reinstalled the game. Then all was well for about 2 days and then the CTDs came back. Sometimes I can play for days without problems and then it just feels like GW2 hates me and I have like 4 CTDs with a short timespan. I tried reinstalling, I tried updating my drivers, I tried repair. Nothing works! Any tips would be welcome. Now it’s like playing Russian roulette in fractals and it sucks to crash in the final map… It seems to have gotten worse after the Winter’s Day update.

So you roflstomped 2 servers who combined have less players then you have in your so called “allience”. GG, you must be proud. Let me know when you go a tiers or two up so I can play another game that week. This has nothing to do with skill in the lower tiers, it’s pure numbers.

Hi everyone

For those of you who lost items during the crash, you will find this post interesting.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Error-42/page/2#post1189343

Thanks for your understanding.

Interesting?!? There was an error and there was a rollback, you don’t say! That does nog give me back my 2 hours of fractal time, 3 gold and lvl 18 fractal rank… Fractals with pugs is hard enough as it is and now I can do it all over again!

THANK YOU ANET! I just spent 2 hours with pugs finishing fractals lvl 17. The first time we had a DC during the last fractal and we were unable to finish.

With the second run all went well and we fishined with some nice loot (worth 3+ gold) only to be disconnected after exiting the fractal. When we were able to login I found my inventory empty and my fractal rank reset to 17. GG ArenaNet!

You just seriously messed my evening…
