Guild Wars 2

Ah 2 days later and its still happening, must be hard for them diamonds to get legendary legitimately

Just curious as most have seen in the higher ranks of ruby/diamond, lots of pros are Q’ing with emeralds and ambers to speed up Q and pretty much nab free wins. Is Anet ok with this, I know its in the game design, but it feels like another abuse of the rank system.

Ran into O-eggs doing this today rather not throw up the screenshot, but it just feels dirty they are already good players why must they abuse the MM system.

Updated Discord Invite : https://discord.gg/0eqmIfJb57AtgO8Q

Roughly 20 joins so far.

Discord invites only last for 24hr, so Bump and new invite….we have about 20 on the server atm, let’s keep getting those numbers up and hopefully this can become more active.

Discord Invite: https://discord.gg/0eqmIfJb57AtgO8Q

Exactly why I’m trying to form up a community of people who don’t have time set aside for a static but still want to progress thru these raid bosses. Hopefully over time we can grow this to a healthy pug environment for any time of the day. Already seen about 10 ppl register on the discord server. Keep it up peeps!

For those needing a Voip or looking for an easier way to find people interested in Raiding and/or needing a place to talk other than your guild TS3 or vent here ya go. Hopefully we can make this community discord active and helpful.

GW2 PuG Raid Discord
https://discord.gg/0eqmIfJb57AqEz61

Seems difficult to gauge interest since most don’t peruse the forums. For Now here is the start….

GW2 PuG Raid Discord Server
https://discord.gg/0eqmIfJb57AqEz61

Not everyone can raid at a set time, this whole post is meant to be for people interested in forming PuGs faster w/ Voice coms already set up to hopefully provide a smoother raid experience. Hopefully can reduce the clutter in Open World Content Finder and provide a means for ppl to meet like minded raiders willing to raid on a whims notice. Setting up a Discord server with intents to make it into an open Raid coms service for people.

I’ve seen quite a few people without a guild or struggling to find people to raid with a Raid Finder tool and I’m curious about the interest of forming a PuG Voip for people interested in finding a chill spot to snag raiders/use for raiding w/ pugs. If there is enough interest in this post I’ll setup something and hopefully we can create a healthy pug community for those with odd schedules or guilds not interested so much in raiding.

Still stuck pugging the first boss, but I’m very impressed Anet at your first efforts for raiding. The fight seems so well tuned, loving every minute of every wipe so far. Keep up the good work GW2 has such a bright future!

PS: Can’t wait for PvP Season

Just curious did all of you have the map reset bug from a few days ago? If so I think this is just a part of the fix Bill is currently implementing on our accounts give it a few mins and our account will probably be back up.

I’m really really hoping that this is a snapshot of what is to come, these mobs are perfectly fine and this is supposed to be endgame content for us all. I want to wipe and figure out a different build path even if it’s just for one mission or a certain type of creature. I hope that they will hold their ground on the difficulty of the mobs and keep the damage on them high. This could also mean us seeing other gear options becoming available instead of zerking through all the content. Loving the BWE so far.

Just recently came back and had been playing my guard/war/mes in pvp and finally decided to try out power necro. I have to say I’m having a blast and find it hard to believe that we didn’t see it played at all in the WTS which makes me a bit sad, but that said I’ve been absolutely crushing with Power necro in pvp atm. If you slip up you can be bursted in a sec but i’ve had multiple 2v1 and 3v1 on point where i took them down and just flip out at my desk lol.

Nice video and keep up the good work.

Didn’t feel any of this was biased?

In reality this game has 3 modes of play….PvE, WvW, and sPvP. All those skills and traits aren’t designed with just spvp in mind. You may argue there is no flexibility in term of choices in pvp and that can be true. Is it any different than any other pvp game? Class balancing patch gets implemented, a meta is created, and for that period of time that meta is played out.

To say there has been no change is wrong in my opinion. Bunker guards are non-existent now and the shift to medi hammer guard has appeared. Slowly things change, just think of these times as seasons in pvp. We will have to wait till next expansion for a significant change, but no matter what you will never satisfy the majority who are loud on the forums. Just remember a game with tons of classes, skills, and traits will never be balanced to your hearts’ content.

Not sure all the hate for builds and finals? Yes the last match was a stomp, likely Adjourned was tilted. They haven’t lost matches in quite a long time and pro teams aren’t so much about builds to kill as it is about player movement and reactions on the map. You don’t need zerker burst builds in competitive play you need to play the points correctly and get downs off the point at the moment. Builds will always change with class balance, do we so easily forget when hambow was in its prime? Huge burst, cc, unkillable warriors… spirit rangers that never died. Outside of competitive gaming, almost any build works in soloQ and I’m pretty sure not everyone here is running with a 5 man premade.

For the record the matches between Adj vs Orng before the finals were stunning as was their first match. This game has better pvp than most mmorpgs atm, try to enjoy the game and understand builds will come and go, they won’t change as fast as you would like because development and class balance takes longer than you understand.

I like to call these types of responses “artificial sweetener”. You just typed a completely biased 3 paragraphs and told us things we already know.

Sure- i can make toolkit+elixer rifle work in SoloQ with the elixir elite (no turrets). This is all about consistency. Heck, i still role rifle/hammer warrior in SoloQ even though its prolly the worst tradeoff for power and mobility known to man. The problem is that some of the traits related to certain weapons or lack therof is not only bad, its blatant. Some of these mechanics lead me to beleive that the developers follow the same philosophy of a TCG and have 40% of everything completely abysmal and make a few things super good.

Thus you have all of this complexity to make it seem like a vast system when in reality you could simply cross out about half the possibilities or more, take whats left, and then find that only 5% of that actually works well.

Is there a group that still completes Triple Threat Worm Boss? Coming back to the game and at times I port in there isn’t near enough people wanting to complete it, i remember people used to group at a certain time for Teq so just curious if anyone does for the Worms? Thanks!

So as it was shown on the tournaments tonight was curious what everyone thought about the preview. Looks to be 5v5 from what I saw and the preview looked to be the same map.

I’m hoping that there is more than just one map, but excited for some variety being infused into what i feel is the best Mmorpg pvp game on the market atm.

The issue is 8v8 wasn’t designed for the new maps it completely dismisses any skill to the pvp because it just becomes a numbers game as the most effective route is 1 bunker 7 roam as one. I can’t see 8v8 or 10v10 being viable on the current modes and maps.

Of course a lot of people would like GvG, i would like to see larger game modes along the lines of 10 v 10 to 30 v 30. You’re engine is great enough that there wouldn’t be much of an issue handling larger maps and more players but we’d definitely have to avoid zerging mentality. I think we have to take a look at other competitive games when we examine game modes. We could definitely have Capture the Flag style game mode very easily with some builds being very mobile. I like how inventive Anet gets with some of the activities and would love to have that incorportated into some casual pvp modes. I would imagine a keep vs keep requiring bomb planting or some sort of intel stealing mechanics would be interesting.

I believe people are just sick of the stale metas and game modes. They don’t need to be balanced out of the gate you guys are testing the edge of the mists and the few of us who do still pvp would love new game modes to come out and just use our feedback to help balance it over time possibly allowing ranked modes for them also. I truly feel Mists needs to be 1 server and u must must allow dueling for the sake of ppl theorycrafting and passing time for queues.

Also has been quite a null period since the last pvp map has been added. I think if you are working on a new game mode its with new maps in mind but i feel legacy of foefire would be a great start for a capture the flag game or even a bomb plant game mode also. You would have to create a reason why ppl would want to occupy the sections of the map a bit or even add some clutter but those are thoughts that would take some time. If i can think of anything else i’ll post some more.

Why was there so much reused content and still not bringing back Reaper’s Rumble when Lunatic was brought in? Enjoyed what was added just a little sad there wasn’t more. Makes me think seasonal events will mostly be repeats of past years.

There was vertical progression in GW1 also whether you liked to admit it or not.

Mirta you are simply assuming at this point….how about you wait to see. No you will assume. They have added new avenues to obtain ascended gear. Nothing says that you won’t be able to aquire ascended armor through other means than just crafting. But the QQ’rs thrive on assumptions.

Fractals already have for a long time been self supplied with ascended. With people doing over lvl 50 Fractals for months now. If you are just saying now you need them to do fractals then you’re making an excuse for yourself. Fractals for people who enjoy dungeons and a challenge and you have had the opportunity for months now to do them.

Just an update from a long post I had a long time ago, I still log in to the game play regularly and still see all the forum trolls and ragers alive and kicking….making me think they still login and play too Many updates have come and gone and I’ve been able to be around for a few of them. I’m enjoying everything since Flame and Frost and really like the direction the Living Story is going and much improved as of late. I’ve went from my guardian main to my Necro loving the new skill though I think it was a little too much. The new dungeons were good and excited to see them acknowledge that the fractals was a perfect place to return them I’m very glad because the new dungeons deserve a permanent home in GW2. I was lucky enough to get a jetpack and my Charr still possesses his cute little Chainsaw of Death. I don’t think i’ll ever be able to farm a Legendary but I got 100% map completion on my Guardian and got quite a few ascended items w/o every putting in any effort to do so. Just want to say Anet keep up the good work, this game is still very enjoyable and despite a lot of the negative posts there are still a lot of people out there that enjoy the game, I mean I still get queues in Lions Arch and the battlegrounds that’s always a good sign.

Nebulizer-Flu Shot

Lemme know what ascended does for you btw, I’d like to know does it make you dodge lupicus correctly? does it make you able to 1 v 2 in WvW? make you jump higher in jumping puzzles?

Wish these QQ threads would stop. Ascended gear is such a miniscule factor in this game. This isn’t a gear treadmill and it’s been over a year now….matter of time for Ascended items through every avenue of the game. Be glad you can now craft it also.

Yes I agree the new post was much needed and I like the direction they are taking wish the champion fights were more rewarding sooner but it’s nice to see the plans ahead and see where Anet will take us. More skills the better.

Santa Claws is in town

Lately all i’ve seen on the forums are rants after rants on the latest patch. I for one have enjoyed this game wholeheartedly. And no i’m not a casual gamer, I was top progression on my WoW server, top guild in Warhammer and Aion on my designated server. I knew going into Guild Wars 2 that endgame wasn’t going to be this shining gem, there were no raids, I was iffy on the no trinity system because I loved healing in my old games, but I was ready for something to break the pace of every other MMO.

That being said i’ve been pleasantly surprised with the Halloween update and the latest Lost Shores, yes the event had its hiccups but anything with the size and scope of thier events would have suffered issues and this being the first time i’m sure they will learn from this as we did. The new fractals are simply amazing in dungeon design and philosophy. The way in which they were incorporated into the lore means limitless possibilities for new fractals in the future and if they are on par with these 9 or better I can’t wait. The new ascended gear is simply a space in between Exotics ( way to easy to obtain) and Legendaries ( the true endgame for people who are in this game for the long haul). And I have a good feeling we will eventually have Legendary Armor sets established in this game in the future. So Ascended isn’t some huge stat increase. The systems established in this game rely more on builds and skill than the stats on your gear honestly. People have overreacted to Ascended gear when its just another addition to having fun endgame. Do you HAVE to do Fractals 13+ for the best items in the game….No. But is there a certain fun and challenge for those who invest their time into dungeons…Yes. Its just another option endgame not and end all for players that they must commit to.

So for those who still love the game for what it is, enjoy the fact that they keep balancing the classes, and introducing quality content month after month, please reply in the post i’ve made stating why you enjoy the game and what you look forward to in the future and most noticeably Wintersday update. I for one hope they give some love and attention to World vs World since it has become one of their most popular systems in the game. Thanks and see you all in game!

Thanks for the replies guys i’ll be reviewing over the guilds that have sent me a message and try to get back to everyone as fast as possible.

Hello,
Its been a little while since I played GW2, but I’m looking to come back after testing out MoP. I currently have a level 80 Guardian and Necro, who are also my mains for tPvP. I’ve had trouble finding a good NA guild, with active members, and who are also active on vent. Many guilds ‘say’ they are active with their Voip only to have me log on and be the only person sitting in vent/mumble/TS3 for hours at a time. I’m currently only rank 19 in pvp, but i’ll be playing a lot more now after cancelling MoP.
Primarily I just want an active NA guild, who likes to enjoy every aspect of the game, but is also serious about the upcoming Paid Tourneys and looking for form teams to strive for 1st. I’m an experienced MMO Gamer, with multiple accomplishments under my belt from other games.
So if your guild is active, doesn’t have a bunch of no mic/shy people, hit me up with a post so i can check out your site. Hope to hear from a few good guilds later.
