Guild Wars 2

Lets talk about making score count less because you dont play at the same time everyone else does.

This is the kind of thing i come to expect from areanet. You either dont care what WvW people think or you have no clue. i suspect it is that you dont care enough to have a clue.

Ques have always been a terrible aspect of this game. I don’t understand why they would make them worse. This is a good way to make the game die.

When i wrote this earlier i didnt know they combined servers. this is great. should have done this 2 years ago but with the euro servers.

I haven’t. But my main complaints are like everyone’s, ANET promotes blobbing or rather do so little about it that it seems like they do.

So set the new map for map completion. Gw2.5 is PVE focused, they don’t want to anger people with the possibility of being killed by a player.

The real real reason EOTM ended up as garbage is it resets every 3 hours so there is no benefit to holding and upgrading. As long as it is beneficial to hold it we will be ok.

still average 8 minute que for ranked ftl.

I dont know how long it was before because i coul jump into unranked. i wont come back to structured while this garbage que is in effect.

EOTM screen shots should be moved to out of the WvW thread to a PvE thread.

Don’t forget that Seige Disabler is ridiculously overpowered and can be used offensively as well as defensively. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Siege_Disabler

At 1200 range and 450 radius AOE you can knock out all the best and hardest to get to defenses (like keep dome AC’s w/out even leaving the circle).

O I hadn’t thought of that. Time to make the PVE kittns cry.

Good raid tonight.

Hmm triple way pointing. Did that allot to SoR’s map back in the day.

Not a hard thing to do around Chinese new year

Yes I remember that. Back in tier 2, the time of forever blue. Back then sometimes I would stay up all night long because the difference between 12 people holding our only keep and 13 could mean keeping it or losing it. Nostalgia aside, I do think the situation is slightly different now.

I salute the BG that where persistent all night long, such dedication from the hardcore players.

I play late pacific/early oceanic. The lack of MERC is obvious. The BG/JQ/SOR match-up will be an interesting one. Good luck to you sir.

May thy knife chip and shatter,

what server are you on?

How long on average does it take to get in a group on bob in your example? I rather hate guardians in CoF. Swapping is a great way to get pug groups to rage. Maybe my CoF experiences are unique.

I recommend making all of them after you get each one geared out at lvl 80 make another.

I would recommend starting with warrior as it is in high demand in most situations. I also like my guardian alot. I main mesmer but in light of recent nurfs I would not recommend starting there.

I enjoy the title. http://www.spike.com/video-clips/3zwmeh/borat-not-joke

salluks.6017:

why is all BG in this thread anyway??

don’t they have their own thread. missing us already?

This is hilarious after having 20 SoR posters in the BG/JQ/DB thread all week. And even more funny after how many SoR transferred to JQ to be with BG. And still funnier after knowing that you yourself posted in the BG/JQ/DB thread.

You have an odd sense of humor, though not on topic at all.

Good fights over SM this morning. Good showing SoS.

Furikake.4052:

Liberated at 2:46 p.m. server time on NA Tarnished Coast.

Thank you very much. I Just dropped 750k karma on PTV jewelry for 3 alts.

May your knife chip and shatter.

Danny.6417:

As I mentioned in another post before, make dolyak immune to damage untill the guards are killed. This prevents thiefs from killing the dolyaks that easily.

Another fun way would be guards don’t despawn unless entire caravan party is dead and while alive they can resurrect the dolyack and each other.

JQ closed. Right before I could use the vendor

Korsbaek.9803:

i have an ide make it charecter bound put in 1-2 piece of siege more and take out all the badges;)

That would be a great fix. Love it.

Active servers meaning they have more players tend to do better at WvW. http://mos.millenium.org/matchups Higher tiers should be more active. Though watch out for servers that are resonantly getting smashed where they weren’t before as that may signify a large migration of players. I would pick something in your language in the 4-9 range (tier 2 or 3). I had the best times back when my server was in tier 2.

If by casual you mean cant be bothered to do lowly tasks like dungeons or other grinding for gold activities but you still think you deserve all the riches of the world. I would suggest dipping into your trust fund and buying some gems. The gem to gold conversion ratio is huge right now, 1g is $0.55. You can get any legendary you want for around $1,265.00 (2300g) with no work at all. So go ahead and buy yourself into fame and glory. Someone has to knock down that gold to gem curve.

Still take you for ever.

During most of that story you don’t have to kill anything just run through it. The mobs re-spawn at a terrible rate. Most are not worth killing. After the charr leader goes down and you need to clear the courtyard you need to focus the vets. The non-vets just re-spawn and are attached to the vet. So kill the vet and all the minions go by-by. Need to kill them all if I remember correctly.

7/6 is normally caused by putting the same rune into your underwater mask. The tool-tip is glitched. Only 6 will ever count. Mask counts as hat so it will replace your normal hat when under water. 12/6 sounds like the tool-tip is either counting pve armor or jewelry. 6 is still the max that will ever count towards your stats. Tool-tip is a minor glitch don’t let it bother you.

I would recommend not taking advice from 6 months ago. They didn’t even know that minors and majors don’t stack.

They have talked before abt putting a limit on how long you can stay dead.

Curiosity killed the cat and it got me stuck. While exploring I saw a shiny and jumped down to have a closer look. Like the admiral says “its a trap”. The exit is too skinny to get back out. I had to waypoint.

The fact that you have ever seen 18 stacks doesn’t mean its normal play. It can do decent damage but its not that great. Confusion in its current state really helps add a skill requirement to the game. I expect them to nurf it hard as the devs have a tendency to dumb down WvW play in favor of a game mode that is easy for new players rather than skill based.

If your going to nurf things how about knock backs, fears or blinds. Might as well remove the skill bar and let us huggle each other to submission.

This thread has too much QQ not enough Pew Pew.

Whether you like it or not there is not way they intended traits to impact siege and especially not in this way. I wouldn’t mind a specifically balanced cool down for each trait that applies to siege to balance them out more but truthfully its much easier to just remove them. Truthfully as far as balance goes why should any class get an advantage over another when operating siege? As far as tactic goes I think this is on par with using a pet to revive someone who is fully dead inside a tower. You probably call that a tactic too.

It’s so broken. You should have posted this in the bug section https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs we should all make a ticket.

Does no one know what a sup AC is? 4 or 5 and a leg specialist or two and its impossible to do more than trickle in and melt. AC hits like 50 people.

The real problem with defending is its boring if you are not under constant assault (ie your last stronghold on the map).

If you really want to ruin zerg play just take the AOE damage cap off and leave the AOE buff cap on. I don’t think they should though as I like running coordinated assaults with organised large group synergy.

I wouldn’t mind if they made it so you couldn’t occupy the same space as another player esp enemy players. Bodyblocking was an excellent tactic in GW1 that they should totally bring back. Along with GvG, HA, TA, and RA but that is another topic entirely.

I hope not. I like having a cool game for my cool computer.

I’m not sure if it is still this way but my friend bought an account and put his fav name on it then fell in love with the game so bought deluxe edition and gave his regular edition to his girlfriend. He wanted his name so he had her delete his first character so that he could use the name on his deluxe version. He could not. The name was still reserved for the first account even after deleting the character.

You don’t need to be a pacifist just avoid the zergs. You can still fight 3v3. Get 2 friends and cap camps, kill yacks/sentries. After flipping a camp go repair a wall somewhere or build defensive siege with your supply. Just avoid the zergs, its easier to do if you stay out of EB (that map is crowded).

With that FPS you could be a great scout. You could sit in a tower/keep and call out when your frames drop because you know a zerg is getting close.

Dungeons have best looking armor IMO.

Armor looks depend on race and heavy, med, light.

Edit: Apparently the chat filter hates the link when on the types page. I really hate the filter. I fixed it but its not on the specific page I wanted to link.

Thumb might be hard to learn but I grew up on it and cant go any other way. Regular mice kill my wrists, this is lovely. For a game like GW five button mouse is enough.

If you are interested in WvW you should take a look at the rankings. http://mos.millenium.org/matchups#NA Tier 1 and 2 are going to have huge player bases. 6-8 are going to be small fights. I run on Sanctum of Rall, tons of people playing most hours of the day (which means lots of people to do group events with), up to half hour ques on reset night and otherwise open. Great community, always people to play with. http://www.sanctumofrall.com/

Feel free to friend me in game. If you have any questions or need help whisper me. Good luck have fun mate.

It might take a little bit for them to get back to you. Be patient, relax, its the middle of the night for most of the employees, they work normal hours like normal people and have many bugs to fix. They will get back to you when they can. I would recommend posting a support ticket https://en.support.guildwars2.com/app/ask/ If they have not responded to you within a week post again or bump your thread.

Have a nice day.

felivear.1536:

When I said equal footing for that, I meant we all start at 0 progression on March 26th right? So even though I’m only 40, I’ll be able to start at the same place a level 80 in full exotics is starting.

You are still going to have junk gear and no traits. You will have the health pool of a level 80 but don’t expect to be able to solo someone unless they are bad and/or also have bad gear/traits. You can get invaders gear. It might take you 2-8 weeks to get a full set depending on how much you play.

Another big factor is going to be what server you play on as tier 8 matches are not exactly the same as tier 1.

Stuck under the map.

After doing one of the LA jumping puzzles, I know it as the well. I finished the puzzeI got the chest but I missed the group of gathering nodes on the way so I went to jump back to them. When I got close I went right through the floor into the mountain side. There are several layers of overlapping graphics back here that you can walk through and a little room. In some areas you can see water some just the purple of far distances.

Anyway I had to waypoint to get out.

Have a nice day,
Jeremiah

It would be against the rules.

Score update, good fight in EB.

Or calling in sick.

Esoteric.5490:

Provide to me an argument why I’m wrong, or you can stop trolling and agree with me. This tactic of 80 people in a force literally BREAKS the game and it is in the control of your leadership to do something about it.

I am sure you are a very smart individual but that’s the stupidest thing I have heard in a while. How about blaming the people that make the game. Put in a ticket. How people play this game should not break the game. That’s just dumb.

The in game WvW rewards aren’t great and are not the draw. On a good day where we are farming zerg after zerg (thanks ICoa) with the fixed drop rate I still wont get over 1-2g/hour and its not consistent. I do get good karma but I assume you can do that in PvE easily too. Before the loot upgrade (march patch) in WvW I normally just barley broke even gold wise. In PvE you should be 3-8g/hour depending on your farm.

The real draw and the reason I go back day after day is the amazing group play. There is nothing like running 60 man guild groups preforming precise coordinated maneuvers. Its not just player vs player there are highly skilled team-fights. There is a social aspect that sPvP just cant match (I also got tired of cap points after two weeks of playing).

If sPvP had the game types available in GW1 it would compete with WvW’s draw.

Just making them not deposit with everything else would be nice.

Your all fighting the symptoms and not the root. The problem isn’t the low pop servers. The root of the problem is that the world events occur at different times on different servers. People are server jumping to increase their chest drop rate. Its basically an exploit. If you synchronize all world events across all the servers you will lose 90% of the server jumpers and trolls. The people on the small servers will still come but they should be allowed to as they are otherwise blocked from that portion of the game.

The Mexican Cookie.3690:

that warrior clicks his utilities as well.

9 and 0 are hard to reach. What do you expect.

Towers are so cheep, even if you do it twice an hour its nothing. No upgrades are a major reason they would be flipping. I do cringe a little when I order WP in SM though.

You cant get yaks into the keep w/out pushing them back. I have no idea how it works against competent players as there are plenty of exits.
