Guild Wars 2

Oh you guys haven’t seen the 80 area yet? If you need an invite for a tour, hit me up

Schurge.5194:

Half of us never step foot outside of the Mists. We just PvP…
I just want a place outside of the Mists lobby for my Guildies to hang out! Be seeing you.

Hmmm..

Since Ferocity changed Crit Damage amounts on armors, should we assume that the ratio for Power/Prec stays the same but the Crit Damage Ranges should be lowered according to the new Ferocity/Crit Damage Ratio?

IE – An Exotic Beserker Staff used to give 9% Crit Damage, it now gives 128 Ferocity or 8.533333% Crit Damage which results in Crit Damage being reduced by a little under 95% on some items. However, you only get 1% of Crit Damage for every 15 points of Ferocity. So, you would truly get 8% if you only had this particular staff on and no other Ferocity modifiers. Thus the reduction would be 88.8%.

Ultimately, it depends on the previous Crit Damage modifiers on all of your equipment compared to the Current Ferocity modifiers.

I have been waiting for this armor set to be available in PvE again ever since the game released. I miss this set, and have wanted it for my Necro for over a year. I never unlocked it in sPvP sadly, and now it seems like I will never be able to…

Please confirm or tell me otherwise, Anet?

TDream.7123:

Wow…this is a lot to take in.

So…just to summarize the situation thus far…I mean, what I think is going on with the dragons and everything…

In terms of elements:
Zhaitain – Death (Decay)
Mordremoth – Life (Growth)
Primordius – Fire
Jormag – Air (or in this case, storms? Ice storms?)
Kralkatorrik – Earth (Rock, crystal)
Bubbles (or Aqualung or whatever the ocean dragon’s name will be) – Water, obviously

Now with Zhaitan out of the way, that means each race has a unique foe in the form of a dragon:
Mordremoth – Sylvari
Primordius – Asura
Jormag – Norn
Kralkatorrik – Charr
Krakenstein (or whatever) – Human (not Divinity’s Reach specifically, but Cantha. There’s no telling was sort of Sea Horrors are torturing that place. On the other hand, I think Divinity’s Reach IS by the sea, isn’t it?)

For now, I going to just assume the main story will play out accordingly based on each races’ foe, possibly with some idiot (like Scarlet) accidentally or intentionally releasing some sealed evil in a can or draconic plot. And of course you have to fix it and save the world. What I don’t understand is, why the dragons go through the cycle of absorbing and releasing magic in the first place? It seems like a pointless endeavor destroying the world only to let it breathe again eventually. What force hates Tyria so much that they planted the dragons to create this artificial torture chamber?

And then there’s this new…pseudo-guild with Rox, Braham, and the others…If you compare them with the original Destiny’s Edge, you start to see some parallels:

Snaff – Marjory (“mentor” to Kasmeer)
Zojja – Kasmeer (“apprentice” to Marjory)
Caithe – I’m going to agree with Kyven.7514’s idea. I believe Malyck will play a bigger role and join up with the rest of the kids
Logan, Rytlock, and Eir can be substituted for Braham, Rox, and Taimi (not necessarily in that order)

Considering Snaff’s fate concerning the original Destiny Edge and the near death experience Marjory just went through near the end of this event, her chances don’t look very good, do they? Not to mention, the friction that Rox and Braham are going through concerning her warband seems eerily similar to what was going on with between Logan and Rytlock.

So that’s where I am right now story-wise. Still, I’m worried that I’m reading too much into things? The developers hold all the cards, and the plot twists, so who knows what’ll happen. I do like the way things are going so far, though, and am looking forward to seeing how the Sylvari react to Mordremoth… (sorry if this post is so long. I had to get this off my chest. Thanks!)

Made a lot of sense, more theories aren’t bad.

Vol.7601:

with the spoiler notes I would have definitely thought it was Primordus. I mean, a huge kitten drill? That’s like getting the Vigil to send out submarines in the waters expecting Bubbles, but end up getting Kralk instead!

Colin I do hope that as we shift our focus to Mordremoth, you’ll consider feeding us some content that deals with his champions first. Hopefully a new metaevent.

The drill is shown to be hitting the magical ley line on the screen, not some dragon. The reason Modremoth was still asleep was he had no need to wake. He had tapped into the lines and was sort of drip-feeding off them. When Scarlet interrupted the major convergence of them, it woke him up cause his drugs were cut off. Now he’s going on a withdrawal-induced rampage to get his world-juice back. I think she really believed she could defeat him after he woke up, which shows how truly nuts she was.

But hey, one plant lady’s schizo is another persons new content lol.

That.
Was.
Beautiful.

A dragon with a drug problem.

Well done sir.

Grimno.6172:

What if…

The Sylvari are to Mordremoth as the Undead are to Zhaitan or like the Branded are to Kralkatorrik…

And the Pale Tree… is being used as a sort of… mind-control nulling entity

And that is why the Sylvari are so curious about the world around them…. cause their minds are unlocked and they have their freedom…

But arn’t aware of it… like a dark secret…

Welcome to where we were a year ago xD

Its Mordremoth for sure. Its also make total sense with the lore. Just as Sylvari as Mordremoth minions make total sense.

- Ronan a human Soldier discovered a seed in a cave guarded by plant monster. He bring it to his home destroyed by the Mursaat 250 years ago. He decided to plant it and nurse it with the help of a new friend, the Centaur Ventari. They both influenced the growing Pale Tree with Human and Centaur philosophy until the Pale Tree began to grow Sylvari.
- In GW2 we Capture the Sylvari Malyck and we bring him to a Sylvari Seer that say that he’s not born from the Pale Tree, but another tree. This Malyck is from the Nightmare Court. He claim to have no knowledge of the ’’Dream’’ and Traherne think that maybe the second tree have no dream.
- The Nightmare court is a group of Sylvari that reject the Ventari Table (AKA the Human/Centaur philosophy that Ronan and Ventari gave to the Pale Tree).

For me its all clear that these seed that Ronan found was the to create an army of Sylvari, an army of Modremoth minions. The only reasons, why some sylvari are not minions of the dragon right now is because of the Dream. The Pale tree was corrupt by the teaching of Ronan and Ventari and the Pale Tree decide to protect her children from the influence of the Dragon. The nightmare court mission is to remove the protection of the Dream so that all Sylvari fall under the influence of the Dragon.

I repeat: Why is Malyck not espousing the joys of Mordremoth when we meet him?

Malyck’s seed seperated from the tree it was apart of before he was born. Just like the Pale Tree was “corrupted” by Ventari and Ronan, Malyck wasn’t exposed to the Nightmare Court’s tree and thus doesn’t share their ideals. He is the one true neutral of the Sylvari.

Wow, I never knew running regen warriors was that hazardous.

Healing signet is broken man. No one can kill warriors now.

I beat a regen warrior the other day. The universe imploded and then recreated back to that point so that he would win, but then it realised I was also a regen signet warrior…

Dear god… What have you done?

The metaverse as you know it is imploding around us….

Faux Sheaux.6179:

They die just like anyone else… just bring friends…

On one hand, you make a valid point. Here is my response.

On the other hand, this thread has obviously lost focus on what is important (for one reason or another). Please review this thread before continuing on.

Omne.4603:

Personally I agree with that decision on the part of the moderators. Bird really influenced PPT a little too heavily for NSP and for me at least it really too the skill out of gaining forum PPT. At least now on NSP when we win a forum match up we can say it’s because of pure forum warrioring skill.

Dude, healing signet is too OP. It’s impossible to kill warriors now. Even as a Necro.

@all roamers in this thread please stop qqing and just go play Southsun Survival. It’s basically the same thing, I think. Then again i’ve never actually been to WvW, I just post in matchup threads all day to make sure that everyone knows my opinion and how good I am.

I hear you but seriously, what the kitten is WvW?

What were doing right now is part of it. Basically how it works is you make posts in the match-up thread and then Devon reads it over and assigns PPT based on factors such as: good points, overly emotional posts that are baarely relevant and kitten size. The key to victory i’ve learned is to make sure that you always have the last word because otherwise people won’t know your good or rather more importantly that your right. I just wish NSP could get more participation in this thread our PPT could use it.

OH MY GOD.

That’s why Bird Song got banned. It all makes sense.

We were TOO strong with him. They leveled the playing field.

Look, I know some of you have a hard time spending your WvW points on the “right Mastery.” Let’s stop the bickering and get down to working together on solving the issue brought up in the OP.

Omne.4603:

I’m quite serious, about what i’ve posted. If others have suggestions they feel that are better i’d like to hear their ideas also.

I feel like the issue of PvE being hard for veteran WvW’ers is an issue that needs to be noticed. There have been times where the people I can rely on and run with in WvW can’t handle themselves in a basic dungeon run of CoE. This could easily be fixed by the devs, all they need to do is care for the people playing their game.

My suggestion for the solution of this problem is simple. Make a “General Mastery” trait for WvW’ers, and any other players having issues with their gameplay that applies to all severs of the game. To validate this “buff” it would take time and effort to earn these ranks, PvE’ers would have to come to WvW for the buffs and WvW’ers would have to pull points from other key lines to finish this.

Tier 1: Make attack tips pop up on screen when the enemy is preparing an attack. (IE: Alpha uses one of elemental AoE attacks in CoE – “The room’s temperature seems to fluctuate violently….”) [5 ranks]

Tier 2: When an ally places a target, it puts their class symbol over the targets head. When allies attack that target, they gain Fury for 3 seconds. Same class allies gain Protection for 3 seconds. This has a 15 second cooldown per player. [15 ranks]

Tier 3: When Defiance is lost on a target from your attack, all allies nearby gain Stability for 5 seconds. Range: 300. [30 ranks]

Tier 4: When you are downed, allies that come to revive you gain Protection for 3 seconds every 10 seconds. When you rally, gain Vigor for 5 seconds. [40 ranks]

Tier 5: Armor repair costs are halved. [60 ranks]

In general, I felt the direction of the balance patch was a bit out of touch with what the community has been asking for (example: improvements to AI specs like MM necro and AoE specs like bomb Engi and staff Ele, when the PvP community has been asking for less AI clutter and lower AoE spam).

Right, because Necros need more buffs.

Chris, +1.

Said everything I have been saying since GW1.

If you haven’t seen a precursor yet, maybe you should run around LA with a rock. It worked for one guy in my guild. Got a Colossus drop after 2 or so days of that.

True fact.

Dude you don’t even understand, warriors need to get nerfed.

I tried playing my necro the other day, and all I saw was warriors tanking and tanking. Come on, think of the necros?

Dat bump.

DEV TEAM, ASSEMBLE!

All valid points, but how about this.

Why not play a competent class?

Thoughts?

That is all.

AMBIENT KILLS IS HARD MAN.

You try to find a place to kill those white mobs without people already killing them.

Cat: We can’t agree on anything!
Dog: I disagree! I think we can agree.
Cat: See? We can’t even agree to disagree on disagreeing!

Dude, you don’t log out to avoid stomps?

Scrub.

The didn’t end free transfers you noob.

You can transfer to medium servers for free right now.

Pugs….

GvG pl0x

I disagree, roamers need this.

Fact.
