Guild Wars 2

Aveneo.2068:

You ignored the Ranger because hey, what can a Ranger do? In WvW they are just free bags right?

And the swaggering Warrior; overconfident like Crom in his mountain dismissed the Ranger as if it was but an insect unworthy of his gaze.

This actually made me laugh, nice one. I admit I had a low opinion of rangers before today with their pew pew from a distance and cowering behind their pets. You’ll be glad to know rangers are now tied with engis for my least favorite class

Disastro.4086:

There is a buff you can get for an additional +10% dmg from the forge I believe. If you combine that with the signet of the hunt/wild combo(if built to have signet’s effect you) in power/zerker gear it’s very possible I’ve seen it break 20k. Do keep in mind you can be lvl 79 in decent gear and still be upscaled.. more than likely the person that hit ya was 60-70s with that figure

You seen it break 20k in WvW/PvP? I’m just having a hard time believing such thing even exists in the game anymore (after all the nerfs). Most I’ve ever been hit on my warrior is about 10k from a full glass thief’s backstab and I thought that was very high :S

So basically I’m roaming on my warrior in FOTM when I see a upscale ranger and a guardian approaching toward me. I make the first move and attack but suddenly I find myself in downed state and finished immediately after. I check the combat log and it shows I was hit with Maul from a upscaled ranger for 17.4k.
I admit I don’t play ranger and understand very little about them but this doesn’t feel right. I’ve never seen/heard/experienced this before after nearly 4k hours in this game.

Is this a bug? or is it something related to FOTM?

Mcrazy.6408:

Sorry to tell you mate but it wont be RG GVGing you. RG are no more. Who you will be gvging is a different guild with a different leader etc.

Yeah unfortunately Sacrx quit (again) and took the [RG] tag with him, ensuring its undefeated status will never be challenged again
[VII] vs [ST] (RG – Sacrx) was a very intense game, tied at 6-6 after 12 rounds but in the end [ST] was victorious.

GG

[RG] vs [VII] tonight. It’s gonna be good.

PvE players complaining rank 30 and 500 badges in WvW is a grind?

That’s cute.

Ozoug.4158:

It also adds RNG to PvP. Will my AE hit the guy at 10% or the hunters pet? Furthermore you should be able to hold chokes vs bigger numbers. To what degree is debatable, but lesser numbers should be able to hold chokes vs greater numbers. Right now it’s to hard to do that. Greater numbers that stack with stability up aren’t getting stopped at a choke.

I don’t think many players realize the implication of lifting the aoe cap will do to WvW overall. Its not like the first couple of months of the game where players were clueless, unorganized mess. We have dedicated, coordinated guilds & zergs running around and you guys want to arm them with no aoe cap? Fights will be shorter and decided by who has the greater number of casters. And good luck ramming those keeps when all it takes it few eles + AC to obliterate your forces.
I agree its hard to hold a choke against greater numbers currently but its still possible with organized guild/groups. There are countless vids on youtube showcasing this.

I hear the phrase ‘mindless zerging’ thrown around on the forums but I think you’ll find most zergs are far from ‘mindless’ and that most are coordinated. Zerging or blobbing is such a effective strategy because the potential for huge damage and protection it offers to players within. You deal more damage (might, fury & others not easily available to all classes) and heal more (multiple water blasts, cleansing, more boons etc). I do however think individual player skill starts to matter less as the size of the blob/zerg increases (30>). It ends up becoming a spam-fest of auto-attacks and aoe abilities to tag as much as possible to guarantee loot.
Nothing quite as frustrating when the server decides to zerg/blob up to 60~80 man flipping everything on the map and train you down but there is NOTHING in this game that gives you that sense of satisfaction when your guild (20~25 players) wipes that zerg.

The aoe cap on five targets was introduced to close the gap in discrepancy of damage between casters and melee players. In the beginning the cap on aoe was much higher (or didn’t have one) which meant elementalists casting meteor shower could absolutely destroy a group of players in the area of effect and melee based players couldn’t get close enough to damage them before being bombarded. Five-man limit on aoe meant no longer could few eles hold a choke against a blob and therefore meant the other classes besides the casters became viable in WvW.
Also the aoe limit serves to improve server side calculations/load which = better performance for the players.

“so frickin awesum dopeness content”

Awww he’s adorable~ he’s clearly a troll trying to mislead the guardian player base, right guys? RIGHT?

Thx VII for a very challenging GvG last night definitely one of the hardest fights we fought in a GvG. Although the beatings hurt, that one round YaKs managed to secure a win was a step forward for the guild who has been struggling with membership and had to resort to using trial members for the GvG.
We look forward to improving and facing you guys in the future!

I’m having quite a lot of fun this week (not worrying about PPT like last week) back to good ol’ fashioned zerg diving.

From the reset night : http://youtu.be/boRntf7TgJc

Had some really epic fights the past couple of days, wish my pc would stop acting up so I can record footage T^T

Kjaska.7849:

The DiVa Guild transferring from Blobbadon to Gandara, so that to increase the maximum possible Blobbadon presence on a map. You stay classy now, Deutschland.

lol you might want to fact check before posting something on the forums XD
DiVa is a guild merge between Sempur Dius and Farshiverpeak Vanguards and it happened before the season started.

I am baffled by this thread. How is it that just after they added an area specifically for GvG, you get folks making threads demanding GvG?

Because the arena is a makeshift solution. People can still troll matches, there are no official rules, no leaderboards etc. The fact that they have added an area where GvG is possible, does not mean they have implemented it in a reasonable manner.

There not being official rules is often good, because in a lot of cases the “official” rules are simply bad.

Tell me, how would you even implement a “leaderboard” for GvG? What criteria would it be measuring? And how would you prevent a PvE guild from trolling the board by taking a top spot by “beating” their sister guild? How would you prevent it from turning into a massive pot of elitism, where only the top handful of guilds are regarded with respect and anything less are “baddies”?

Well, the GvG already has a leaderboard: http://www.gw2gvg.com/
There are rules set in place by the GvG community which are enforced and any guild found to be in breach of those rules will face its consequence. As for guilds fighting its sister guild to climb the ranks has yet to happen, although there was a american guild (name I can’t remember) was caught fighting a single guild multiple time to increase its rating and they were called out on their shenanigans and shunned by the GvG community.
Elitism is a none issue atm. Top guilds are regarded with respect and have never come across another guild disrespecting another because of their position on the leaderboard.

Dyno.9467:

all happy over the weekend until Tuesday, then Gandara start crying, pathetic. Cyas in season 2

There are two types of people in this world. Those who do the work, and those who take the credit for the work. You good sir, is the latter.

Deso is not really a Gold League material tbh, they have better coverage but during primetime they are nothing to worry about.

Rapsod.4629:

hahahha this thread is so good gandara you got nothing but arrow carts and trebs hahahaha shame on FSP for double team but i guess its part of the game…. keep on rollin tnx for all the loot ^^ made like 65g today on loot and dyes you gandarans and shivers drop xDDD hahahahhahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

lel

There is no question Dhuumfire is strong, removing it however will significantly lower necro’s damage so we will need to be compensated elsewhere. More access to torment? faster bleeds? condi on wells?

I’m sorry but this build is next to useless in WvW. 1400 toughness and no stability/stun breaker? Also Bow of Truth? Less than 1k power? No point stacking healing power and boon duration if you can’t survive a fight. There is so much wrong with this build I don’t even… Don’t believe me? run those spec in WvW and report back (FYI, I’m rank 456, Bronze Colonel on my Guardian)

Power is an irrelevant stat for this build.

I have run this spec in WvW and I rarely die. Even with more than 10 people attacking me… and if they do kill me. It takes a while (enough even for me to run across a quarter-half the map) You can change the utilities. Also if you want a build with toughness and power than use the Guardian Commando build by Nymx. I use it on my other guardian it works fine as a hybrid.

Rank doesn’t mean that much since it takes no actual skill to get it… just time. Like any other game.

I shared this with a fellow guardian and we had a good laugh The problem with your build is that it looks like a exercise in how much healing and boon duration you can stack without consideration for practicality. This might have looked good on paper for you but in WvW this build achieves very little and given the traits you picked for this build I doubt you spent much time in WvW as a guardian.
Sorry if I’m coming off as bit mean but lying about 10 players attacking you and not dying is a bit far fetched no? Also mentioning my rank wasn’t a show of skill but to show the time and commitment I put into playing guardian

Defora.3694:

I was thinking this too. I miss GW1 paragons.

I mean… look at it.

Now that’s what I’m talking about

I really like this idea, my current guild has a 1g a week ‘donation’ per player but sometimes you forget which day you donated and the logs only go back so far.

No way! Mini Caithe? wow

styx.7294:

In happy fantasy land,
-hammer 2 has like 600 range
-hammer 5 can be cast while moving
-hammer 4 is AoE

^THIS

I love the idea but unfortunately would be hella OP. I think the idea bouncing around the forums of decreasing CD and 5-10% more damage for hammer is more realistic and I could see some use for it.
Guards do need some soft CC tho, getting kited like a mofo ain’t fun

I’m appalled by the general behaviour of Desolation this week, they rarely engage with equal numbers and chase small group of players across map only to jump on their corpses and laugh. Never a chance for 1v1 or 2v2 with the constant interruptions by other Deso players and the customary emotes to express their superiority because hey, it takes skill to kill others with greater numbers, amirite?

Deso guilds have been ok for the most part, we usually are outnumbered greatly but enjoy the fights, I wish you guys engage more often instead of waiting for another guild for backup most of the time. One of your guilds usually greatly outnumber us so why not have a fair(ish) fight instead of waiting for the other blob to aid you?
With similar numbers on open fields we tend to wipe them most of the time which may explain their unwillingness to engage us

Well, good luck in Gold league Deso I guess… hope we won’t meet again in this upcoming season.

Open right now in Ring of Fire.

So basically while I’m taking a break from GW2 on holiday in Japan, my brother contacts me saying he got banned for botting???? This guy (and me) is about the biggest haters of bots there is in this game! I’m sure the devs can check the numerous reports we filed for botters in this game. He refused to borrow money from me and instead made few gold a day for over a month to afford the charged lodestones he needed to make the Foefire’s essence. In short, he’s not the type to bot in a game we both love!

So to the question, I started playing GW2 before my brother did, really enjoyed it and bought him a online copy (as a surprise gift) with my money and using my email-address (I would have preferred using his email but obviously didn’t have access) and now he is falsely accused of botting, should the creator (me) or the user (my brother) get in touch with support?

poe lyfe.5879:

gotta have no sense of humor at all to not find this one funny. gj op and a few of the other posters. maybe 3 asura could stack on on asura. effectiveness is king

so true, many people on these forums need to cheer up! fun ideas also have a place on these forums

FacesOfMu.3561:

So so cute!
Can’t imagine what ripples might happen for PvP/WvW, but I love the idea of having race-specific, non-combat related skills to flavour the races more. Same goes for each profession (but nothing that requires a skill slot, I think).

Yeah rather than requiring a skill slot, I’d imagine be similar to adding someone to a party, right-click & select piggyback and BOOM

win

Coltz.5617:

lol if your serious, I would rather stick to golems, and using golems to make me go faster or other stuff instead of a norn. Perhaps a customizable personal golem where yu have a garage to build it parts. that would make asuran race have that much more depth. Other races can have different things too like norns can maintain and evolve mounts and creatures. Chars have their small mechanical tanks to build, Humans can have their encantations that makes them fly or meditations or w/e god descending powers. sylvari can have a garden to grow some plant like mobile device, like a dandylion seed or w/e..

What you are suggesting is basically cultural mounts/abilities, I’m talking about alternative to mounts. But I do agree other races should have something special (but no flying lol)

I would also want it to be available during WvW or spvp. Asura gets a perma protection boon (33% incoming dmg reduction) but receive a debuff which reduces its effective weapon range (30~40%) & the Norn (or Char) gets reduced vigor regeneration and is unable to apply swiftness boon to itself. And the Asura can’t dodge ofc
I think this will make for a very interesting mechanic in both pve and pvp!

Alternative to mounts?

Discuss

They said no higher tier than exotic will be added, we now have ascended. Mounts are incoming ppl, deal with it!
Personally I would prefer backpieces which will give you wings, aura, or simply lifts you off the ground (kinda like a ghost) over mounts. But pleeeease add the ability for asura to piggyback on other races

In the process of gathering mats to make Foefire’s Essence XD still need 60 charged lodestones (pretty brutal). Most legendaries don’t look very appealing to me, hope they add more in the near future

Toggle right-mouse click to select (on/off) Please add this in near future!!!! 900hrs+ gameplay and this is one of the few things that annoy me all the time!

Yup, bugged. Spent over a hour and 3 repair canisters, no progress. This needs attention.

So this has been bothering me for some time now where I hold right-click on my mouse to turn the camera only to highlight different target/enemy. Can we please have a option to disable the right-click to select?
