Race is purely cosmetic, just like sex, hair, body etc. And who gives an eff about personal story? Its lame as hell. And cultural armor. OMG, so hard! Oh wait, just change the owned armor to the new culture.

ANet will not do this because they too busy developing the new mini game which is a Tyrian style American Gladiators.

Hmm, possibly, just possibly ANet cares about the Personal Story. You know, being the ones who wrote it and all. The fact that you don’t care about it doesn’t make it an unimportant aspect of the game.

What if you don’t like the new cultural armor? Nothing you are suggesting actually changes anything.

If ANet cared about the “personal” story, they wouldn’t have written the Trahearne based garbage that resulted. And if you don’t like the new armor who cares? Its not about the armor, its about the look/size/animations of your character.

I just had this occur today in Harathi. It was the home world. Just logged in and did it. Got the rewards, no acheivement credit. And not that this is only the second invasion I completed (first was is Sparkfly).

Dude, its a video game. Of course 90% of the people on it are there for some mindless entertainment. We then revert to a thing known by the locals as “real life” and pursue our true passions.

funny part is, we can accomplish this is 2-3 hours spent after work a night. I never said devote endless amounts of time…lol. These games are so easy.

RL of course is more important, it just fun to come home from work, and absolutley demolish people. We never even play weekends, just weeknights. The guy asked my definition of a true pvper.

And you think these kinds of people have left GW2?

Now that right there is what we call “A Gooooo Won” (translation a good one).

That kind of player bought the game, played it, realized its a WARhammer remake filled again with $$$ spending 8 year olds….tried pvp, realized its AoE cap and downed state caters to bad players being able to win, to keep the games population up because they get to “win” fights theyd lose in other games….and Gaaaabye, they left.

If you dont believe me, read through this thread and count all the times people said “I knew some people, who have now left”

There is ZERO competition in this game. ZERO competitive natured people. Sitting on an AC for 3 hours or some treb isnt competitive, its lazy and boring. Hence the 8 yr old can do this reference.

I deleted my post because i combed through your history and felt it wrong to try and put words in your mouth.

If you find that the floor is lifted up by downed state and aoe cap then that is a call for you to play better to out-do the bads who have mechanical support.

There are plenty of competitive natured people still in WvW, a lot of US are frustrated by the current metas. We who remain keep challenging ourselves while advocating for Anet to move the game in ways that we think will promote competition and challenge. I don’t personally sit and sift through the forums arguing and pontificating but i do consult and speak with those who do. There are plenty of pvpers like you describe still here, i will agree we are the minority but that doesn’t mean you have to turn a blind eye to us.

Exactly. Personally I find slamming into a zerg three times your size and seeing how much damage you can do before you die is fun. Sometimes you even wipe them and that is terrific. Call it “stress testing” if you will.

Ha! Well then I mean ah, er give ANet a break. Teh softwear is tricky.

Thesilentflute.8761:

The devs said it had something to do with culling and lag.

AKA the game/server engine/architecture can’t handle it.

No idea what you just wrote. But I have lost so many fights because my 5 guys could hit 5 guys, while the 5 of my guys could be hit by ALL 12 of the guys we were fighting.

The guy that made that rule should be FIRED immediately and ousted from mmo design society. Horrible.

I have to agree with this.

Applying a patch that wipes out current “data” is just a lazy, kittenty software development practice.

I like how loot is in WvW. It forces you to make a choice, lewtz or help allies.

Did DR get a hold of a ton of cheap blow this week? kitten . You fools are bringin it. Nice work and please share next time

Hallowed Ground, Stand Your Ground, Hold the Line

Zergs melt before your wrath

Staff skill #2 (orb of light sux donkey nards)
Whirling staff
Basically staff #1 but 360 degree coverage of the wave.
Each foe struck (up to 5 obvi) grants 1 stack of might to player and allies.
30s cooldown
Visual Effect is the guradian spinning his staff over his head with a bast wave emanating from it

Would be a good complement to AH based builds and sticks to the support theme for staff guardians. Maybe something other than might would be a better boon however.

Just effing quit already.

Birdtry golem rush = bye bye green EB
And to the HoD Charr guardian who after 5 mins of 1v1 between us, both of us were at 100% health (lulz), sorry the zerg showed up and rolled you. I stopped attacking at least.

I went to my home instance (dreamer’s terrace) and there is NO NODE…any suggestions. I have never farmed a node from a home instance yet.

This is actually a good idea, with 1 change to address the map size concerns. Have instance portals (like between PvE zones) in the middle of each bridge. You would then still have only 1 guaranteed spawn, but it would make it much harder for zergs to bounce around the map.

I run full knights armor with soldiers runes. I then run all PVT acessories/jewelry/back. 0/0/30/30/10 build. I smash into zergs and don’t die. Quite enjoyable actually.

yanoch.7051:

All we really need would be a 15-20 man night crew(oceanic) and we would be good. Our kick ads morning crew could go on full offensive instead of spending a few hours recapping everything.

I disagree, We could really use a 30-40 man prime time guild, or a couple of 20 mans that could be offensive on enemy Borderlands. Currently we can fill our BL and EB. But we need to come close to filling at least 2 of the other Borderlands.

That and NOOB needs to get bigger fast!!!

I’d say we need one more guild like us, but everybody knows there can be only one OS

And yes, NSP is the cat’s ace. I feel like winning this week is just the start of what is to come.

Aeranima.2853:

Atm Commander Tag is just prestige. I want it to be well earned with enough experience within wvw. Not given to a noob for 100G which he/she farmed in CoF for 1 week. This is stupid. I do NOT want to run under a person who just became a commander and thought he could run a entire server the first day at school. I am not happy.

U mad bro?

Dustfinger.9510:

……Almost as if the Norn are stronger than every other race ;P

A-net says they have no plans on race changes so there is no current way to do it.

Well kitten then……..I must continue being a douchy little sylvari….

Soulstar.7812:

More Armor
Lots of Armor, and more.

Nobody cares about townclothes.

Amen brother.

Either add this or make any other race beside norn look cool. Seriously, were all skins optimized for norn? The weapons on my sylvari look ultra miniature, and not just because I am smaller. Its like if a norn is 2x the size of a sylvari, the weapons are 4x bigger on norns than sylvari.

And if this is already available, please tell me where as I swear I have looked in the gem store.

Yeah, WvWvW titles are just kittened. In PvE, all you gotta do is rip kitten and boom you got a title.

GamerToukotsu.4219:

nikkor.6215:

yeah, there is truth to needing moral boosting from the commanders, but that’s not all of it. there has to be tactics especially from the worlds that don’t have the numbers… tactics will beat a zerg all the time… and a commander that demonstrates this once, will have the loyalty of the players for a LOOOONG time.

but again, you don’t have anything positive about it to say so you result to insults. pathetic

This isn’t always true. A fortified defensible area will not always be saved by a small amount of players vs a large zerg, just as it cannot be taken by a small army vs a large zerg.

The game is imbalanced completely towards players just needlessly sticking together, not rewarding anyone with a small player population. Tactics only gets you so far, and honestly Trebs deal too little damage to a wall. They should deal a substantial amount of damage to wood/paper walls, a little less to stone and even less to metal, but it shouldn’t take 10 minutes of constant trebbing to take out a wall, this is where the imbalance lies, whenever a large zerg can pour supplies from flipping camps into a wall to literally keep you there for hours on end and getting no where.

This. You should be able to trab a wall down at least as fast as you can ram a door down.

We need some sort of calvalry like mechanic to break through the zergs. I would be on board with that.

Wryscher.1432:

Mepheles.2087:

Every morning, I wake up and GoM overruns us. but I guess in the morning is the only time they can have a chance to catch up, so I can’t be too mad.

Oddly enough, Every afternoon when I log off, DH over runs us, heck NSP was even out scoring DH. But I guess the evening/night is the only time they have a chance against us, so i guess I cant be to mad.

So we’re better than you in primetime, and you rule the wee hours of the morning………

Yep. Just look at the “Evolution” column on the millenium site. This could easily be added to the WvWvW UI to let you know if you are doing well.

Lepew.7890:

There should be a basic gravity model in the game which has initial velocity, and angle to calculate trajectories. All targeting should be either permitted or not permitted upon the basis of that physics. If a parabolic path exists for the initial velocity (power) of the siege engine between points A and B, then the crosshair should green. This would also mean that cross hairs would have to go through walls etc. So a mortar with is super high arch against a wall should let you target far on the other side of that wall even though you can not see it because the physics of the mortar is right. The game as it stands right now has the physics wrong, letting camera angle determine whether a trajectory is valid or not.

This 100%. As I said before. If Q-Basic gorrillas can master parabolic flight, so can ANet.

Hello,
So in another theard ppl told me to get the Knight armor (for 0/5/30/30/5) build

now someone in the game told me there is no diffrence in the stats between the armor.. only the look.

i am a bit confused.. can someone tell me how the gear going on here?
diffrence on stats?
and where\how do i get that armor sets?

Thank you,
Sagi.

I crafted my Knight’s set. Do you have armorsmithing leveled up yet?

Does our WvWvW matchup feature a beach that I missed? Cuz there sure is a lot of sandy kitten in this thread……

Wildchild.7502:

Hey folks, I wonder if there is a good way to build my guardian for WvW with a sword/shield combo.

My Hammer/Staff with PVT gear is very effective but I’m kind of bored of it.

plus, I really like the way Sword/Shield looks like! I would prefer to be strong in 1v1 rather than me useful in Zergs if that could help,

Thanks!

I run a sword+shield/hammer meditation build that seems to be fun so far. I have lots of closing speed with sword #2 and insta-cast Judge’s intervention and lots of control with the hammer. I can catch dudes, attack, re-catch, lock down then kill pretty effectively. Its probably not put together the best but it is 10, 0, 30, 30, 0.

Snowreap.5174:

The reason it wouldn’t be selectis is because the worst case in WULD is worse than what we have now. The “worst case” isn’t playing the same teams every other week — those will be the “good” weeks. The “worst case” is going to be the alternate weeks when a higher tier server demolishes a server from the tier below, and another server from two tiers below.

WULD works fine when applied to only one match (and everyone else stays the same). but when everyone moves at once you end up with cases where servers still can’t advance because, for example, every time the T6 winner advances to T5, they have to play the T4 loser, and the T4 loser easily beats the T6 winner every time, sending them back down to T6 again. the T6 winner will be crying on the forums that Arenanet is preventing them from advancing by putting a T4 server up against them every time they move up.

-ken

Do you really think it would be that much of a demolishing? By your logic, a server would get demolished, move down and then pwn. Are the tiers really that different +-1? Honest question.

Downed state is great, but the stomp is too slow. If you try to stomp in the middle of a fight, you get wtfpwned.

+1. “winner up loser down” sounds good in theory, but in practice it has real problems.

WvW isn’t the playoffs. the losers don’t go home for the season, they have to play again the very next week and the ratings algorithm has to be able to find reasonably good matches for them too. This isn’t as easy as it sounds.

-ken

Not really. Winner of the Tier moves up, the loser moves down, and the middle stays. This happens every week. Worst case is you play the same teams every other week if the previous week’s loser always wins and the previous week’s winner always loses. Best case is servers make a big push for a couple weeks and climb the ladder. Slack for a couple weeks and you may wake up in Tier 8.

No complex math involved. Not sure why this wouldn’t be the solution selected………

Then the T1 servers could take “a few weeks off”, end up in T4/5 then steamroll all the way back to T1 with ease.

Yep, but they would have to win many consecutive weeks. And any time a server steamrolls, they are gone the next week.

you’ll never be able to buy ascended items for badges.

1) badges are kitten easy to get on high tiers, this is so you can buy lots of siege.
2) waaaay too many people are stuffed senseless with badges and are too selfish too buy lots of siege and want rewards for themselves, aka ascended items.

It’s not ever going to happen, and you can quote me on it

Just fulfilling my obligations here. Costs and more info will be out with the patch notes. Enjoy!

Just remember when pricing the items out, not all of us are stuffed with senseless badges…..

Hehe. I’m guessing they priced them as close as possible to the time investment required in obtaining Ascended items via other means. That said, I’m betting each piece is going to be priced somewhere between 500 and 1,000 badges.

Too bad I recently spent a bunch of badges gearing my Necro and re-gearing my Engi to condi damage. Ah well, I can always farm more, not to mention the 100 laurels I’m sitting on.

500 to 1000? Dang, that is going to take some time for a dipthong like me…

It IS BiS gear, so yeah.. it should take time. Sitting on almost 2 rows of badges in my bank, really hoping to get rid of some of these.

BiS? Does not compute.

I was in the same situation as you. I ended switching to a sword+shield and hammer meditation build. It has sweet closing and control. Lots O kills.

I do miss my mace though.

How is it abuse if it’s legal there?

Just because something is legal doesn’t make it not abuse. Things get abused and can be deemed morally reprehensible despite what the law says.

“Morally reprehensible” is a little strong for puffing a little ckittena, isn’t it?

I didn’t say one thing about what was morally reprehensible, simply stating that pointing to something being legal doesn’t automatically change the morality of it. If that was the case, then moral codes simply flow like the ocean wherever society decides to lead it.
