Guild Wars 2

not sure about pure Aussie guilds.
But I know TFV on Dragonbrand has a few aussies on it and is made up of many people from that region

What about a heavy armor class, that uses med/light weapons? (i.e. dagger, axe, shortbow, mace, pistol, etc.) Something like a cross between a warrior/ranger. For mechanics, something along the lines of having an adrenaline “type” bar, that allows to summon something of various levels depending on how full the bar is. Like a lesser being at stage 1, a being at stage 2, and a major being at stage 3. Call it a summoner.

(just throwing out ideas, no need to debate as to why this couldn’t work, and how OP it would be etc.)

Kinda similar to my previous idea. This could work well too.

What would be the lore behind it, however? All of the professions so far have solid lore behind them about what they are, and why they’re how they are. I just don’t see this proposed class working in any way at all, it just seems like a mashup of random ideas. :-|

In the same way that the guardian is the “modern monk,” this new profession would be the modern ritualist.

Well, that’s not really their “lore” though. That’s just the modern interpretation of the abilities that were carried over from the older game.

yes..but you could easily tie-in this new lore with the opening of dominion of winds (maybe the bird men teach the pact the new things they have learned) or going to cantha (styles and skills from another continent).

it can be done with decent enough writing

lots of silver server that are pretty good.. best part is they are almost all pretty even so take your pick.. DB, SBI, CD, DR, YB..

Watching the tanking going on right now is sad

Not sure why this is sad. Practically no server wants to fight for weeks against a vastly more numerous foe. Being backed up to the legendaries EVERY DAY might seem like fun looking down from BG but trust me it sucks. There is no challenge or competition in T2 any longer and it sucks for everyone in it including SoS.

So to sum up, the Dragonbrand position is that DB could have made Gold, but tanked so an even less able server has to spend the tournament facing Gold-level teams instead of DB. It’s disgraceful on so many levels, and the ability of people to rationalize such behavior as a somehow valid strategy is mind-boggling.

BTW: DB has lost two of its top WvW guilds so far due to this decision. And the enticement of trying to buy new guilds for DB has opened the door for scammers asking people for gold to go toward moving people to DB. If you’ve given gold to someone for this purpose, I’d recommend asking that it be returned, and reporting the scammer if they refuse.

lul wut? DB hasn’t lost any guilds, and actually just transferred over a large wvw guild, and another smaller one due to the decision to stay out of gold league..

90% of wvw players on the server are excited to take on other servers of similar skill and size in T3, because its fun to have good fights and close matchups and not get wiped…

I was there for the aftermath of season 2 (and the start, when so many guilds transferred over to fight in gold on DB, but friggin never saw them in the maps after week 2 because they couldn’t handle the massive blobs the T2 servers had around).. we lost 6-7 guilds after season 2 and our wvw community was destroyed. now we finally got it built back up and we don’t want it to happen again..

this isn’t about loot or winning, we just want close competition, and the thing we all play games for…FUN

Considering you followed up a post that mentioned one of them, AKD, the other is dawn.

Previously, the story was we lost 3 guilds, now it’s 6 or 7? Of the 3 guilds in the original tale, at least 2 of those did not leave due to the bad season. I can’t speak to the 3-4 additional ones, as this is the first I’ve seen of this number.

But losing guilds (whether true, or a pack of lies) is neither here nor there. You can’t build a quality server community on a foundation of throwing matches.

yes AKD left, but went to DR which is lower than us because DR is loading up to win silver league.. so I think AKD found their own 100% way to avoid gold league.

but again its about fun and close fights.. not outmanned and outcoveraged.. that’s what people want

easy solution would be to autorez a dead player to spawn instantly when dead

fixed. even better.

5 minutes would be better.. if you long sieging an enemy keep, it gives a few minutes to rez up a few guys killed by AC’s etc before pushing in..

5 minutes is enough time to rez someone after a zvsz fight, but short enough that someone cant afk there to portal again later

I think DB is just avoiding getting smashed like last season.. lets face it, there is 3 T1 servers and 2 true T2 servers.. and whoever ends up 6th is a T3 server up against T2 and T1 servers. Hell even the other two T1 servers ganged up to fix the results vs Blackgate

so the format should be changed, 2 × 12 team swiss style is best suggestion I have heard, but there has to be a better way.. because when a server gets smashed as hard as DB did last year, they lose ALOT of dedicated players (transferring servers, and many left the game altogether).. don’t think Anet wants to keep losing players, but they seem to love the transfer $$$

XPilo.5862:

Hi, friday i was leading a defense team in tequalt and I want share some of my undead slayer potions, i send 2 but went i send try to send the third I got a mesage that I was spamming.

I know that you want control the spam on the game but remeber that we don’t have a player to player trade system, so mail things is the only way that we have to share/exchange items. So please ANET can you increase the message filter to 4? so we can a least maill a item to all our team members.

Thanks.

Sorry for my bad english.

I have the perfect solution to this..

hey we all don’t want spam, we can all agree on that.. but why cant the limit be increased if you are sending to someone on 1. your friends list, 2. your guild, 3. your party?

spam comes from unknowns so keep them at 2-3, but people you know or interact with would get an increased limit to say at least 4-5 e-mails before suppression.

should be a pretty easy thing to program.. get on it ANET

Tumult.2578:

So Players will wait, or be new, and they will ask other players whether the content is worth purchasing, or they will come here to see if it’s worth buying.
Looking around these forums I see a lot of, anger, mistrust, tons of threads about failure to communicate or to fix or balance, and I’m wondering why anyone coming here would ever buy it? Whether it’s good or not.
I think I would have started with a huge communications effort here in the forums first.

problem is there is next to no communication from the devs in the forums except for cookie cutter “salesperson speak” (you know what I mean.. lines like “we are really looking forward to you guys seeing what we did” or “we think this will be the best patch ever”..etc etc)

what the community really wants is some back and forth communication (or “discussion”) and maybe some crumbs of information.. this is the only mmo I have played where the devs basically ignored the forums mainly (except to respond to compliments or close threads).. most other games the company was very interactive with its customers.

now there will always be flamers who hate on everything and will never be happy, and you cant do much about them. But even non-trolls and regular players base will start to get angry or irate when they love the game and feel their input is being ignored.
I love the game and hated LS S1 and seen in the forums very little response to feedback on the LS unless its some fanboy gushing and the devs replying to give themselves a pat on the back

but for new players there is so much to love about GW2
-no trinity
-much kinder social atmosphere than WoW
-you can easily get to lvl 80 and have exotic gear within 2-3 weeks of starting
-the great lore (which I feel LS has very much ignored and put in scarlet from nowhere…which is my main issue)
-the ability to dodge in combat based on skill and timing and not some algorithm

but mainly some players are upset because we love the game and want it to be the best it can

To increase the glow, one possible weapon is to buy an ascalonian dungoen weapon, then transmute the sovereign skin to the dungeon weapon.

The method is not 100% reliable. It works on a few legendaries and zenith weapons. Some testing has to be done with sovereign.

AC weapons got fixed.

Well, too bad. However, a dev with a little imagination could implement a “glow enhancer” item in the gemstore. I think there is a market for such item.

this would almost instantly give Anet huge $$$$

what if they made a fractal path based in “pre-destroyed” orr?

would love to see that

sorudo.9054:

they can make the gems more attractive if the price is just as attractive, a 1/1 ratio would make buying gold more attractive then the 1/0.8 ratio.

yeah this part is just kittening stupid.. “hey guys spend real money on gems and convert them to gold to help gw2.. but we gonna do you up the kitten by taking 20% of your hard earned cash for doing so”.. and they wonder why people don’t covert as much

Calys Teneb.7015:

What is the problem with people having choices? Not everyone feels the same way you do and will enjoy this.

Because I’m thinking DEEPER than “OMG so cool” or “OMG so NOT COOL”.

It’s IRRELEVANT if you will buy it or not. It’s irrelevant if YOU like it or not. REGARDLESS, this will have a huge impact on the game: it will drive ArenaNet from making more OPEN WORLD content, which is actually something in which GW2 has been VERY slowly improving, to focus on STORY steps. It will ALSO make it less likely that ArenaNet will make a REAL expansion, instead of selling bit-sized content and lottery tickets for weapons.

Are you telling me I can CHOOSE to play the open world CONTENT that ArenaNet will NOT make and/or polish because they’re focusing on the content that gives them MONEY, aka the story steps? That I can CHOOSE to buy the EXPANSION that ArenaNet will NOT make because they’re trying to get money from those story steps?

NO?

So, YEAH. Less talk about so-called “choices”, PLZ.

you could “choose” to login during the update and get it for free.. and since you took the time to make 3-4 posts of hate about it in half caps in the forum, you surely have time to login the game a few times during LS season 2

A Massive Headache.1879:

I’ve gotten gold on a server 5 times in a row. the inteded method is to have 6 commanders split up and kill them all at the same time. and you’re supposed to kill the healing turret. it’s does require too much coordination for randoms, but the server i got into had heaps of tts people

yeah but 90% of us aren’t on the server that the TTS group managed to lock donw for themselves.. so we get mindless “press 1 to win” pugs.. and we try to get 6 comms and split up and constantly explain each boss mechanic in map chat, and all that ever happens is the pugs go to the easiest boss and leave 3-4 comms out to dry.

wish Anet would let us pick which megaserver we could be in, or open one ourselves so we could actually make organized groups of 2-3 guilds working together.. because forcing us to do co-ordinated events with people who don’t care/listen is so godkitten ed frustrating

Farm would not harm the economy, only pleasure players

Meanwhile, the gold ’n gem exchange rate has gone up by 35% over the past six months. Where in ‘pleasuring players’ does requiring hardcore farming or ponying up cash for gold fit in?

i don’t want gem, i want my 4th legendary

Farming = Inflation = Higher prices for legendary mats.

economy doesn’t work that way.. when you have more supply than demand, prices actually go down..

it was a great side effect last year that during this event prices on T6 mats and lodes stones fell by 5 silver each at least.. making buying things off the TP tolerable..

this result only really hurt the TP flippers

Miroe.2054:

Really? Yet another whine thread 12 hours after the release? Masses of free T6 Mats…

You want a broken economy? Because thats how you get a broken economy…

And you don’t have to make one huge zerg to farm through six bosses. This event challenges you to complete it quickly which means to split up into groups. Result:
1. Less Time consuming
2. Less Zergy (You can kill a boss with a 3 (wo)men group)
3 You can choose which boss you want to fight

The tokens we get have insane value. You can get fused Gauntlets for example which needed all flame and frost Achievements when it was first implemented. And if you want real good and valuable stuff, WvW season 2 ends soon which rewards you with multiple ascended weapons.

Why don’t you just play what is fun in this game. You really expected the devs to sit there in a meeting and go “Its time for a gold-patch where players can farm till they drop – that will improve our game!” This is another patch where they try to change our habit to do the content in an unchallenging, unfun zergy way even if we could do something different – just because we think its the more effective play style.

After Guild Wars 2 did everything to bring the players together, it now is forced to go into the other direction and split up the comfy zeros.

And there you go, banging your head against the same wall complaining about the wall being there as it is being torn down.

how exactly would the economy be “broken”???

oh no the people who actually play the game and don’t run 10 dungeons a day or TP flip all day can actually afford thing… oh noes

the only people that this hurts is the TP flippers, the rest of us need these mats for legendaries or ascended crafting..

while I get that it was a bit too lucrative last time, making it not lucrative at all wasn’t the answer either..

Anet will learn that people want to be rewarded, and are sick of everything on the TP doubling in price every 4 months due to rewards being nerfed constantly

Taglor Anwamane.9468:

Personally, I say no drops is better than the economic disaster caused by last year’s Crown Pavilion. The lack of experience gain, however, I do have a problem with.

yeah was a real shame things became affordable for the rest of the players and didn’t favor the TP flippers.. a real shame

I am hoping its a bug, but the fact the mobs don’t give any xp tells me this was intended.
the reasons people play MMO’s is usually 2 things.. rewards and challenge

1. they just took a hatchet to rewards in this event (I don’t care about champ train, that was lame as hell), and the more and more players don’t feel rewarded for their time, the less excited they will be to play.. I can run AC paths 1 and 3 in 45 minutes and come out with an easy 3 gold plus whatever drops I get… or run this event and maybe if the gods of RNG smile upon thee I might get a 2-3 gold exotic (1 in 1000 odds)

2. challenge.. people love a challenge (as do I with daily lvl 49 fractal runs) but they also like to do challenges with competent people of their choosing (even pugs at 49 know their stuff) but when you do raid style content with 150 pugs and you have no way of picking who your doing that content with, then its just double facepalm.. we all know how its supposed to work, split into groups of 15-20 and take down all bosses at same time , but when have you seen a whole map of people co-ordinate at that level (especially with megaservers, at least before we could isolate an overflow and ferry people in before). while most of us don’t mind explaining the event and how it works, all the “press 1 to win” crowd will always go to the easiest boss and form a blob and ruin it……

while I get what they were going for here, it really doesn’t work in our current setup, with no way to pick a server to go on so you can organize a group, you cant get the good rewards… basically everyone loses

I support good rewards for hard content, but with no raid ability it wont work

well if ANET is scared of alienating the average player that likes the EZmode dungeons, then why not scale the dungeons like they do FOTM?

have “vanilla” AC with existing AI and mobs, and maybe have a harder version on the same dungeon that has more advanced AI and maybe lvl 81 mobs (of course your rewards would also be slightly higher.. to what amount would take discussion)

but anyone can select what they want to do, keeping more players happy

DB didn’t tank a few weeks like some of the servers (FA, HOD).. so they will get punished for this.. ANET logic at its finest

Antharius.6950:

It’s an okay buff if you like killing mobs to level with a very ‘slight’ chance at better loot in a WvW environment.

What it should do is remove all loot rewards and a huge reduction to WXP from killing members/capping keeps of the World who are outnumbered.

It’ll never change though, so better off moving to a more populated server or just do PVE.

interesting thought reducing loot and WXP of servers who take castles and keeps while outnumbering the enemy badly..

Hannelore.8153:

Sorry, but ember farm is terrible. You have no place interrupting other peoples ability to progress through events, no matter how justified you feel.

There’s a cross-map champ-train now if you want to farm, do that instead.

Its ANet’s fault however for making it so that things do not progress properly if the game is played in the correct way, but that doesn’t justify arbitrary dictation.

Instead of blaming on everyone else, ask ANet to fix it.

but it wasn’t impeding peoples ability to progress.. during the ember farm, we had same guys griefing the event 4 days in a row, so its not like they were doing the event for progression, and they were trolling map chat about it…. if it was a group that did it once and not again I could see that they were honestly trying to progress, but it wasnt

lets just be honest and call a griefer out as what they are, not legitimate players trying to get map completion or some other BS story..

but it is sad that ANET nerfs any legitimate means of earning loot, while we must resort to things like the ember farm to get decent reward for time spent

not sure about other servers, but Dragonbrand easily has 90% decent helpful players who usually will answer questions in map chat or if you need help on a map may even come to assist (especially on champs .. the lootz)….. do we have a few numpties?, sure what server doesn’t, but I generally find most people are nice or at least “live and let live”.

as for dungeons etc.. it is best to get some guildies to try and walk ya through 1-2 times to get your feet wet (guild mates usually will be more patient and have a teamspeak program which is much better than typing) and the LFG tool in GW2 gets players from anywhere, not just your server (and you can run into the “L33T” crowd with gear checks)… a good guild makes all the difference in GW2

but guest on a few servers and see if you like the “feel” of that community before spending gems

although I believe they have done most of the work for the tengu already (apparently they were supposed to originally be a playable race, but time restrictions shelved them). so I would get why they would be first

but yes.. people want NEW, not old recycled….thing is you can do old recycled if you put some new stuff in here and there

I don’t get why people were hanging onto them?

as event ended I would turn in my cyphers, and the Monday before patch I made sure to cash everything in..just in case

just a protip going forward, ALWAYS assume they will take that stuff away and act accordingly before patch..
now if they stated differently, I don’t know, but I always do this because sometimes ANET does lack a bit of clear communication

I have been suggesting this for a while, and I + your post

think of it..

the largos are mainly underwater, you can introduce them while going after deep sea dragon.
maybe when we go explore what drove the asurans to the surface we find the stone dwarfs?
the tengu are under attack and we come to their aid bringing them into the alliance of races,
when we go into the shiverpeaks we find the home of the kodan and come to their rescue

this type of content would not only make the existing players happy as hell, but think of the possibilities when it comes to new players when you advertise new maps, new skills, new races, new stories..

CrockD.8257:

Yes this is another complaint thread on the Captain’s Airship Pass.

For those who didn’t read the other thread: A lot of people got upset that the loss of Lions’s Arch represented the loss of the most useful and convenient hub for BLT, Bank, Crafting Stations, Mystic Forge, Skill Trainers and Vendors. It also had Asura gates to all the major cities. In its place we got two things, Vigil’s Keep (which does not have crafting stations, gate travel and far less vendors) and Havoc’s Heir Airship. The airship is a one stop shop for everything BUT costs 1000 gems for a lifetime pass, 1000 gems equals $12.50 in USD.

Those who (rather sycophantically) defended Arenanet made some of the following arguments:

You can just go to other cities:
Yes, but none of the other cities offer the same level of convenience as Lion’s Arch (in terms of number of services offered and proximity of services to each other, not to mention gate travel) , that’s why LA was consistently the most visited location. If you do a lot of crafting, or are trying to make a legendary or use the BLT a lot you absolutely know what I mean. Time is money and you will be losing a lot of time from this loss of convenience.

It’s part of the story/times change/you fear something new:
No. I love what they are doing with the story BUT when you take that convenience away and ask for money for its replacement, it is an OBVIOUS bait and switch.

Cashing in is not Arenanet’s intention:
Really? Then why did the 1,000 gem lifetime pass come with this new content as a “promoted item” in the gem store? To think otherwise is naive.

Look, I love this game and there’s much to praise Arenanet for, but i’m not just going to drink the Kool Aid either. Removing LA’s conveniences and charging $12.50 to get it back is wrong. It’s something I expect from Electronic Arts, not from Arenanet who by and large are the good guys.

Will I stop playing? Of course not! This represents an annoyance and a fairly pricey one at that but overall the game is still fantastic. I just offer this thread as a venue for people to raise their hand politely and say they don’t agree with this move and that they think Arenanet is better than this. Aside from this, the new content is awesome, love that they shook the game up this way, keep up the rest of the good work!

well you know in the amount of time it took you to type this you could have taken the asuran gate back and forth from rata sum to vigil keep 10-15 times.

stop being a little kitten and man up. people like the OP I really wonder how they get by in life when this is how they are when faced with adversity or a slight inconvienience

you people are ridiculous… OH NO I HAVE TO DEAL WITH A 30 SECOND LOADING SCREEN!!!

its a free asuran portal and how much crafting are you doing on a constant basis that it really affects you that much?

I am still trying for my precursor and this really doesn’t hamper me in any way. there is no paywall except the ones in your minds, stop looking for things to be wrong and enjoy the game.

jesus I swear some people on here

so rumours in my guild have been that LA will be pretty much 2 zones (1 for people who need the old LA POI’s etc.. and the new one with it destroyed).. which will be cool as hell, yet fair to the new people who need map completion , personal story etc.

BUT if this actually goes well, what we really have been excited about is what if this new “2 different zones” thing goes well and what it could mean for the future of ORR.. just imagine if you could visit “post zaitan orr” and start to see what has happened since the end of your personal story.

now THAT would be a living story IMO

David.6491:

I don’t know why pug is a term being frowned up on. It shouldn’t have a negative effect. I called my self a pug before I started commanding. I know a lot of pugs are great roamers and help the cause of the server.

Edit: spelling.

this is true.. David is the best thing on our server, acts as pug/militia commander and peacekeeper in server wvw meetings.

I know the organized guilds that are on his map will work with him to obtain objectives..

and he’s also a nice guy

Scoompoof.4657:

Maybe two week updates is holding it back. What if they did one big update every month instead of two a month?

and maybe less achievement point runarounds like mini games etc..
they have their people working on mini games that you need to do for achievements and stall for time instead of working on living story and new maps..

hell you could introduce new maps with the living story..

just imagine going further into the lore of the humans vs centaurs war and going deep into centaur lands to try and kill the head guy who stands in the way of peace or rescuing a human outpost under attack in a new map? new lands and lore people care about

have the asura make an expedition into one of their former underground cities they had to recover a valuable piece of tech, or to investigate further into what drove them from those places (this would also be a new map or dungeon)

re-connect with the zephyrs and go further into what they found in the crystal desert and possibly start to slowly make maps going toward the desert (this would be over 4-6 month time) and see what happened to glint

open up the dominion just outside LA and see what those bird people are up to.. new maps and maybe another playable race..

all of these things would get the player base excited a lot more than time wasting mini games and farming for yet another back piece … especially with the elder scrolls online coming out soon ANET has to do something to keep us going or GW2 might be in trouble

Oozo.7856:

DB takes the prize for the worst zerging trash server of them all. Good job, and well deserved.

.. I love posts like this.. all servers do it

on DB we went with 25 man groups taking objectives and after wiping similar sized opponents all of a sudden you got 50-60 man zergs hunting you across the map…. so there is no server who has the higher ground in this arguement

its kinda how this game is played.. unfortunately NA has larger population than Euro servers so zergs are the way to go, and who has biggest wins.. Euro servers may suit you better if you like more advanced small group tactics. God knows we have tried to go that way a few times during the season (smaller groups with multiple objectives) but found we would get steamrolled by huge server zergs… so we go with what works

as for those who complain about our SEA people steamrolling while others sleep, I don’t hear you complaining when you do the same during euro prime when DB has maybe 10 people on each map… it is coverage wars

but it is unfair to call a server trash when in reality it the same tactics ALL servers use

you know the destroyers haven’t been used in an alliance yet. and would be an interesting fight.. but who would they ally with?

sons of svanir
centaurs
evil skritt
branded?

That DB “commander” engie Charr is super duper trash. Either you lag up a storm or you speed hack away. At first sight of opposition you spam all stun breaks and invulnerability skills to run, leaving your group for dead. This ain’t a choo choo train kiddo, l2pay

trying to think who we have that runs an engineer as a commander… think it may have been a militia guy who tagged up

but thatnks to EB and BP guilds (PINK and REKS) who gave ING some great fights wed. night between 9-11 in EBG.. most fun we had in weeks

this guy is lulz.. and apprently has no idea that we have no coverage during the time before resets (15 people on each map max)..

all i can say is go back through any game log during league play and check out our scores during that time of day on any given day.. then remove your head from your kitten

Ebay did well to hit the obvious target and were intelligent enough to recognize where the easy points would be before reset.. unfortunately you didnt have that intelligence and lost..

… No seriously, if our early morning crew visited this forum more often I’m sure they’d love to post images of +695 ppt to prove that they’re just as capable of taking advantage of weak timezones as you are. =)

See you on the field tonight.

Knock you down? Oh yes, check above, theres another SS in NA prime time with DB having +35

yeah i dont think your prime time is the same as our prime time.. most “prime-time” DB guilds get on around 8-9pm eastern time..

and as stated before NNK or TFV our oceanic guilds could also post similar pics..beating people when they have no coverage isnt really that big a feat. but grats for doing your server well..

now if mex was on around 9pm eastern, they may face a bit more resistance

but this week has been fun with some great fights and stonemist caps (love those 3 way battles).. and NSP been holding thier own

Consider Dragonband. It fits a lot of what you are looking for, and needs more people willing to command the militia population.

We have a community VOIP, and a good solid PVE population for ya as well.

No matter what happens this season, DB will still be in Silver league next season. so no worries of having to be in Gold league any time soon.

Perhaps you could answer these questions as an opener for us:
How well would our small group of 15 fit into the WvW scene?
Do you think your server would support our crazy events? What kind of WvW events do you already have?
If you could change 1 thing about your server, what would it be?

i aint gonna speak for the whole DB wvw community. but things are a bit more light hearted on here now that larger guilds left for gold league servers.

as for 15 man teams, sure those are always wanted, we have borderland maps that few people are on at times and 15 men would keep the enemy on thier toes for sure.

as for letting you do whatever you want in form of event, i dont think anyone would care really, the guild I am in communicates with the heirarchy of the server wvw groups but we also mainly do our own thing and are appreciated for the role we play (25-30 man roaming squad that constantly pressures enemy 1/3)

but even if it isnt DB that you end up on, i do hope you guys find a good home, so many people have left the game/wvw community due to loss of fun while playing.. we dont need to lose more fun players

the guild only tag would be soooo easily implemented too, it really cant take much coding work.
instead of “create squad”, make two options “create public squad” + “create guild squad”

done ANET i have done the thinking for you

first place may get and exclusive finisher and mini

-but for the rest of us probably access to exclusive weapon or armor skins (think like the zenith, where you get to pick the weapon and stat from a list)

-WXP (based on your servers finishing rank)
-gold (again based on server rank)
-1-2 yellows
-exclusive wvw mini for finishing the achievement

not sure if this has been suggested before (looked back a few pages)

but what if you could break down your siege (rams etc) after using them to regain 1/3 or 1/4 of thier supply?

would add a new dynamic to the fights (but not completely change it)

and when are we gonna get a commander tag for guild leaders for raids? (that other people on map cant see except for guildies AND people tagged up on a regular commander tag.. so commanders can see where guild grups are on the map)

In the last weeks it became clear to me that certain groups of players are exploiting the high respawn rate of champions to farm massive amounts of gold and items. That behavior probably has an negative effect on the ingame market. But that’s not even the main reason for my posting this. I am really frustrated by the way some of those players are killing the atmosphere on maps like Queensdale and Frostgorge Sound. Constantly flaming and insulting other players because someone dared to kill THEIR champion without them…

I know Anet is not in the least responsible for the behavior of the players but I think some mechanics in GW2 make farming way too easy!

My suggestions to make zerg-farming less worthwhile:

1. If more players are involved in a fight, the champ should become much stronger, so that you cannot just autohit-kill it in less than a minute!

2. Those champions should be able to hit more than five players with their attacks. Either remove that limit completely or make it dynamically adjust to the number of players.

3. The time until champion/event respawn should be much longer!

I hope other ppl will give their suggestions to this problem as well. Please refrain from flaming and stay objective

I totally Agree!!! Espacially since som eppl become compleatly mad about others killing “their” champ too early…..

yeah we get that in frostgorge once and a while when we get the quaggan guild event.. we kill the champ worm because it oneshots people trying to do the rush, and when the zerg shows up we get called all sorts of names.. some people understand and say “guild rush” and move on, while other decide its time to flame people actually trying to play the game

i think the NITE hammer commander is Olrun.. cant be sure

the zoom hack has been employed against us in DB many times this week but if the Devs wont do anything about it, all we can do is live with it
