Guild Wars 2

if I use the transmutation splitter on my fused longbow can I get a sellable fused skin back?

I would just like to put in that u can still have fun in wvw on a low pop server vs a high pop one. Just today I got 387 kills from defending against what was probably a full map zerg with 20-30 people and the way we won 3x is by pre making siege. We had 7-8 superior arrow carts in inner bay before we were attacked. Together with this and the help of Jd guild we were able to fight off a full drakkar zerg 3 times fully wiping them, all the while trying to get our bloody loot bags off the ground. Id prefer to see some changes to the maps so they arent copy pasted in the borderlands. Outnumbering isnt that fun though I feel sorry for drakkar lake

with what? i dont have any money, they nerf anything that you can make money off of

That’s why you buy gems with cash.. I know, I’m in the same boat as you.. I can’t believe its gone so high that 30+ gold is now 800 gems.. I remember when it was 30 silver for 100..

Given just how much inflation has actually gone into the economy, Gems should really be closer to 5g per 100… The only reason they’re not is b/c there seems to be an unexplainable “market correction” of roughly 15% during most Friday resets.

I think its the wvw player like myself who stock up on siege and stuff by buying gems and converting to gold:D

coming soon to guild wars 2: the Emerald Aegis, the Ruby Aegis, and the Sapphire Aegis!
;D

only if kiel wins the vote, and then ill start a prison riot to get kiel killed as well

ok, so heres my theory: kiel will lose the vote in the end, and so she assassinates the queen to take her place in kiels mad thirst for power!

Custom maps you buy in the gem store for say 10$ and they come with a base which you can modify and make awesome arena for you and your friends to fight in! LETS GET THIS PETITION SIGNED PEOPLE

Thanks to much help from a warrior guild i joined i learned many ways to make my build much much better. it realy depends on how well you can time your crowd control and how well you know what other classes animations are. i have a lot of experience with it now, so instead of feeling rough and clunky like it did at first it really has come together.

legends of woe, warrior, 1v1, euro,

its called a base to a warrior build that could be viable if tweaked upon by you pro pvpers. im just getting into pvp but have some experience in wvw, and thank you rance and dan for making an actual contribution to this thread and to making a viable warrior build. all you QQ’ers, I can make rough build if I try. I really think this build has potential, I can nearly kill bunker d/d eles with it already.

NOT A TROLL POST THIS TIME: my build is built upon a trait called distracting strikes, which is now buffed to give 4 stacks of confusion per interrupt instead of one stack. with my build I have so many interrupts that I deal mass confusion. When they use stability swap to longbow and kite. when stability ends use elite while stability is on recharge.
Weps:
mace/mace
longbow
Utilities:
healing surge
kick
bulls charge
stomp
Elite:
rampage
traits:
30/0/20/20/0
V,VII, VIII/0/II,VII/III,VII
amulet:
rabid
rune:
Orrian

I found a GOOD warrior build. its top secret. you must beg me to hear it.

- Still no source of condi removal. ( Removing condi’s through burst skills is not what I call a viable option. Especially if you have to spend 20 points into defense which is basicly the worst kittening tree ever for warrior. )
- No kind of sustain what so ever.
- Only a handfull of builds we can go since we are forced to use berseker amulet
- Barely any usefull utilities. Since we got stability/stunbreaker skills left and right on every class it’s nearly impossible to land a bulls charge now. Not to forget the frenzy nerf that happend in the past which is basicly just saying to your enemy, “I’m taking an extra 25% dmg for the next 6 seconds so all you have to do is kite me a bit and I’m a free kill !”
- We are a melee class yet we can’t even hold our ground for more then 5 seconds when we are in the middle of the battle cause we just melt instantly.

Why is it that a melee class that is forced to engage into combo to hit any of his skills has no source of condi removal or sustain ?

Either make the warrior his skills hit targets easier or do something els. As how things are right now the class is unplayable.

Warriors aren’t forced to use Berserker amulet. There are builds with perma fury that can use Soldiers or Valkyrie’s.

I think Warrior’s should start thinking of something other than 100 blades.

Ah yes the ol’ classic “you warriors are stupid and just need to try new stuff”. As if this game hasn’t been out for almost a year and we haven’t tried everything already.

you haven’t tried everything, I use a very good build that id be willing to be few ppl use.

I saw my vabbi friends at speldan clearing in EB, so we teamed up and decided to attack SM north gate with no siege. we got it to like 75% before a lot of them came and kitten d us, and it was SO funny. did it for your enjoyment:

No man, you can level a char in wvw without the pve tinsel. Didn’t you know?
So 1 minute or 1 hour doesn’t change the facts: no trinkets in wvw merchants is a lack.
Then this mean i’m forced to do something i don’t like, the pve. I’m here for the pvp not for collecting money or discovery WPs.
But if you like it enjoy

Yep that settles it, you’re just trolling. Mods close this thread, it is not going anywhere beneficial beyond this point.

on the contrary, you are trolling my dear friend

just wanted to say thanks to all you Blacktider’s for the great battle in EB today, a hundred – 2 hundred gold in upgrades wiped maybe, really long siege at langor tower, good fighting all around. and btw, THE FISSURE OF WOE IS A POWER TO FEAR AND A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH! thanks for the great fight and for giving me such a fun night! sincerely, Legends Of Woe.

Obviously the Consortium slipped Evon Gnashblade a big sack of shiny, shiny gems for the opportunity.

Evon Gnashblade would NEVER sell his currency to his competitors, i think that the consortium is really secret info here-->A BRANCH OF THE BLACK LION!!!

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/red-hot-new-items-in-the-gem-store-now/
OMG ITS SMALLER HERE THAN ON THE FIRST ONE !!!! ITS A FORGERY!!!!!:O

the chests drop a lot for my friend, I get 1 a day usually, but, in 30 days that will be 30 chests, plus im earning a ton of gold for buying some with gold too, since they are only about 4.75g and I can get that pretty fast with this new magic find cap of 200% more. note: I don’t even have ascended gear, but am saving laurels for an amulet someday.

I noticed this too, I was DYING for an endless karka tonic(the mommy karkas that is), however, then I got a potion. of karka slaying. which is not actually a tonic. GG ANET.

LOL ill still win, just leave my arena and let others who will give me a challenge have a chance!

LOLOLOLOLOLOL this achieve is easy, the trick is to get several karka hacthlings and all 3 mommy karkas on you at same time and at last second use 3 skill, I got it on my 17th round.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make crab toss permanent! I love it! id spend hours on this,(extend the acheivements to unlimited as well please!) and can it be a guild game! we could make this an option to go in as public or go in with a team of guildies to have insane fun! ofc, guild mode would have no prize so you cant farm it, but still! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!

I suspect that there are MUCH more viable builds in gw2 than in gw1. I know just for warrior, a mace mace build is AMAZING for when your in a party. but who uses mace mace build? me. I don’t know ANYONE who runs mace mace. im sure there are plenty of other builds too just for warrior that no one has discovered yet. so id suggest leveling every class to 80 and then testing it for like a month for each profession, trying to make a new build every week. THEN complain about not having enough viable builds, for some classes im sure this is an issue, but your example of total skills for classes in gw1 is flawed because in all honesty how many of those build were viable? and of those viable builds, how many were universally viable? and how many of the universally viable builds didn’t have to get balanced so they were no longer SUPER Overpowered? that narrows it down quite a bit.

Why is it bad in group play?
This is the real issue with Magic Find and a sole reason it should not be in the game…

The person using Magic Find gear contributes the least, but get’s the best reward.

Why does this make sense? A huge design flaw.

You are giving up offensive potential and wasting time. You are not only wasting your time, you are also wasting your groups. Wasting other players’ time is selfish & rude. So ArenaNet promote selfish play.
TLDR; Magic Find is bad – don’t use it.

define offensive potential in your own words please

i get into enemy citadel on my warrior:D

wow, a LOT of my friends posting here:D hi ixjamo, effsee, kaosberg, vin lady, freya, angelwood, smoking, and everyone i didnt name. tagnut, we arent the worst of the worst, we are the outnumberest of the outnumberest;D (FYI i know its not a word, its a little test of your intelligence, since you are not seeming to have a very high IQ;D) anyways, we do fairly well as far as skill, 2 days ago in EB we took our keep and held it for 4 hours with 20 people on our side and 60 on theirs. i used siege weapon after siege weapon after siege weapon, cashed in my badges for siege weapons, used all my money for siege weapons, and i had a GREAT time. we have fun, just, we would like an even matchup. we arent complaining about being the worst of the worst, because that isnt true, and anyone who says that we ARE the worst of the worst is dead to me. so thats my 2 cents.

first of all, Id like to say, stop telling us to transfer server please. we have put so much time and effort and money into making our server do the best at wvw. both vabbi and fow have done this. we will NOT transfer. We will go down with the ship, we will defend to the last man, and will we crush whatever size zerg we have to to get out of this rut. we fall down, we get back up. we are just having a little bump in the road right now. we just need a little help getting more players to get over this bump and get an even matchup.

i have gotten 2 exos from wvw this week. i was trying to take a camp solo, i overaggroed after killing the first person was dead, my inv was full, but i saw an EXOTIC FROM WVW!!!(i run with 0% mf, been playing since launch in wvw, leveled form 1-80 in wvw. this is a big deal for me, as before this week, i had never gotten a single exo drop.) problem was, my inventory was full. we need something like removing the timer on the boxes/bags that drop if they contain a green or higher, or like someone else suggested, put it in a big chest that we can retreive our loot from later. i died for that exo, and if i hadnt made it too it i would have spazzed out for a day or so;D.

if the theif can kill you in a few hits, they will die in fewer hits, espicially if you constantly immobolozie them or knock them down once.

im making an alliance, AABT, allaince against blacktide, and i have a feeling it will change the way tier 9 wvw works. and it will probably get us some transfers once people see how epic fissure of woe and vabbi are!

id buy every precursor, give one to each member of my guild if they dont sell it, then give the rest to my non-guildie friends, and if i have any more im filling every buy order there is and buying all frostfangs and bolts so that way i can be unique when i finally make my bolt and my frostfang. for once, legendary uniqueness

I can’t make any promises, because nothing is set in stone yet, but that is something I would like to address, yes.

Seven months of people pointing out the sheer impossibility of obtaining any of the wvw titles in any reasonable timespan and it’s finally reached the stage of ’it’s something I’d like to address’.

I can’t speak to what has or has not been done in the past, but I have just started to improve WvW and I hope you can all provide me the benefit of the doubt. For at least one build, then you can return to the gnashing of teeth as usual.

all i have to say is you are probably the msot responsive and helpful dev of the millienium!!!!!!!!seriously, been really helpful to a lot of problems!

thanks for the fun time we had blacktide. we came twice, first time I rezzed my friend twice and we still got away alive, and we were naked. second time I died but my friend got away. COMMANDERS GOTTA HAVE FUN WOOT!!!!!!!! DANCE PARTY IN ENEMY CITADEL WOOT!!!!!!!!

THIS BELONGS IN THIS SUBFORUM, PLEASE DO NOT MOVE

defending never happens now, unless a commander is defending, and then still many others are out attacking. whY? it gives better rewards. if defending rewards stay at what they are at, then at the very least, give us more WXP for defending. i am not saying reduce it for attacking, but make defending give twice the WXP compared to attacking. then the hardcore wvw-ers fighting for glory of their server will get the reward they truly want, WXP. this way, the zerg karma trains will potentially have to spend an hour or so taking a keep, and the wvw will become more tactical. if a mindless karma train zerg on blacktide came to our keep we would actually defend it with siege, because on T8 we are a lot of dedicated players. im sure the other servers would benefit from this too.
TL;DR would you defend if you got double WXP??

hahahahaha, if you want pvp acheivements, why the kitten would you not have to pvp for it? if i want pve acheivements, i cannot get them in pvp, unless i do the pve section of pvp. so no. never.ever.ever.

repairs are the main problem in wvw. go in a small group of 5, ninja 5 towers and 3 supply camps, 2 mercenaries use 1 ram each. that gives you 29.4s-6s(ram cost) = 23.4s profit. also, next time youll probably not have to buy a ram. why? because the tower lord/ supply camp lord drop badges sometimes and then you buy a ram with those badges. then, you also get loot from the players that will most likely show up, andif a zerg comes, you WP out. simple, easy, effective money. now, its nowhere near as profitable as cof speedrun or other farms, which should definitly be changed.

Hamham.7504:

A great fight for our bay just now! I’m proud we managed to pull together and put up a good defence. I’m sure I had people block me for my spam and attempts at being funny though haha.

Nice to see someone from Vabbi posting too. I don’t think we’ve met ingame though. I’m sure I’d remember a Charr thief, hehe. :>

ofc you wouldnt remember them, you cant see a theif remember?:D

simple solution to exploited siege: farm the zerg by putting 10 arrow carts on the stairs in the tower or on the roof of the tower, youll get a lot of badges and loot bags.

Camp to tower requires lets say 1000 supplies and it will be invulnerable for 6 hours to let it build.. No enemy can retake it in that time ( so structured wvw guilds can time this building time for when they want to goto sleep ) solves nightcapping to an extend.

if this part was omitted then it could be possible basic outline for a new aspect of wvw, but if you make them invulnerable, then nightcapping is not possible, and so-called “nightcapping” for some servers is just a large difference in prime times. id say maybe that once you are building something it goes in 2 stages, first you hire guards and workers, then they start building the tower/keep from the lower stage. it is incredibly easy to defend if you had say double the guards adn a guard patrol just from the supply camp upgrades, but if you were to double the guards while the workers built the structure then it would be even EASIER to defend. but it would still be possible to take it, and if it was taken, then progress would stop, but it would not regress. that way you can take it back, and the other server could build it up still too. i also would consider making this only in the borderlands, so EB still has SM and its keep.

you should come to LoTS on fissure of woe, im co-leader to my guild leader, who is a female. i treat females no different than males, i judge you on whether or not you are a nice person or not, and so does the rest of our guild. our guild has a number 1 rule: no discimination for gender, race, accent, or anything else. any discrimination=kicked. period. end of story.

well, i can say personally today was the first day i actually dc-ed and lagged five minutes behind what was really happening, when did our wvw presence multiply by 10 million eh? THAT WAS AWESOME!!

it would cost so much to make keeps then, in supplies and in money, and nightcapping should never be “solved” other than having enough support round the clock. all servers have different prime times, you will amke the winning server invincible. this is a more unbalanced mechanic than orbs were if you look at it as the smart winning server will only upgrade at night, so they will never lose anything.

i know a necro who purposfully uses fall dmg in wvw to kill enemies, he uses death shroud right before impact and watches the enemies hes fighting die without killing him. i just use my alt necro to get to the bottom of rata sum

Johje Holan.4607:

Yeah, standing in an ac barrage is basically no different than standing in a hard rain. In fact, my toon likes standing in them to clean herself off after a hard fight. Blows off the dust pretty well but that’s about it.

how about 9 arrow carts and a cannon?:D

new weapon skins video
when are they coming??? i need the 8 bit pot and the 8 bit firey dragon sword!

there is a way to get down there as any profession, no revive orbs or necros needed!

Commercially it is doing well.

But it had to sacrifice manifesto, the credibility of the developers, and the experience of the players to achieve it.

This is getting old. How did they sacrifice the manifesto?

Have you read it?

they did not sacrifice any manifesto, credibility, and the only experience sacrificed was with the wvw ranks not being rolled back, but then everyone starts off the same so everyone is encouraged to do lots of wvw to attempt to get their wvw rank up, so it attracts more to wvw, so it is ok that they did that. sacrificing manifesto, and sacrificing credibility, is an OPINION, and ALWAYS will be, it will NEVER be a FACT. get over it clay, its your opinion and we all know yourn entitled to it, but you are not entitled to genralize the entire playerbase to fit your every whim. that is a privelage of the devs, and you will never be a dev with your attitude.

So when they said that what you love about GW1 will be in GW2, we would assume that they also meant the quite active PvP population in GW1 as well, right?

Shame they didn’t follow up on that promise…

That is a fact.

Stop getting so mad that people have a different opinions than you. I’m not mad that people have different opinions than me. I just think it is funny that I clearly state that all of my opinions are opinions, and people tell me that I’m wrong and that their opinions are facts.

I realize I might be full of kitten. Everyone else needs to realize that they could be full of kitten too instead of taking criticism of a game personally.

know what i find funny here? the fact that i said nothing about getting mad at your for having a different opinion, nor did i imply it. i simply stated that the reason people are getting a litttle frustrated with you is that you keep making HUGE generalizations. i honestly dont want to get into this for real as far as is this a successful game or not, its successful to me because i like it and that is all i care about. i was just trying to explain to you that most of these comments that were directed toward you are because you generalize your opinions over the entire playerbase, when the entire playerbase’s opinions do not match yours for every player.
