Guild Wars 2

So you want rewarded for guessing the obvious course of events? Ok…

Can you change the color of an already infused version of the spinal blades? Has anyone attempted this?

I just came to the realization that I may have been too hasty in getting my pack, after seeing the recipes on Dulfy and noting that the infused version was no where in them.

Bumping this, because I’m still looking!

Howdy, I’m Ranko, and I’m currently in need of a new team. I’ve got a lot of experience playing Guardian and Warrior, as the title suggests. If you are interested, hit me up here or in game.

I’d say adapting is a good thing. I mean, the “condi-meta” doesn’t seem to be going away, but it’s certainly not as dangerous as it once as. People are definitely adapting to it. I’d like to see more balance, sure, but it’s not going to stop me from playing what is inherently a good game, just lacking a few small things.

All I can say is that my team is working things out, trying new things, and I still think at least most of us are having fun, and isn’t that what truly matters?

Shut up and take my money

This… all of my this.

I’m EST and I believe Kura is MST. We are normally on every night, and I know personally I can be on every night after 6PM EST

Howdy, me and my friend are looking to join a team/guild that is dedicated to PvP. We have been active in the PvP community since beta and are dedicated to pushing any team we join as close to the top as we possibly can.

My rank is 34, and 95% of my experience in PvP has been on a bunker Guardian.

My friend is rank 42, and has had experience playing Thief, and to a lesser extent Ranger.

Our in game names are Ranko Hibiki, and Kurayamikara, and we would prefer to join the same team/guild, if at all possible. Please message one of us in game, if interested.

Finally a thread that isn’t just bashing the Devs…

I really think you’ve got a nice list going there, Davinci, you’ve essentially laid out a nice diagram of where the game needs to go, and I really think that from this patch, we can begin moving in that direction.

One issue, however, is the removal of hotjoin. Hotjoin is something that is very welcoming to new players, and, with the possible addition of new game modes in the future, can be used to get a random mix of game types. If we simply leave it up to the solo queue to help new players, there are some small issues that could arise, such as players spike joining, to get on the same team. While it may seem counter productive, it’s sadly something that can happen.

As for things I think could improve the pvp scene, it’s well known that Guild Wars 1 had a incredible pvp scene. One such area of that scene, and my personal favorite, was Heroes Ascent, a mixture of different game types, leading to a final map where up to three teams would compete, at one of a few game types. I would love to see a similar thing implemented into GW2, even something as simple as a three-way match. But enough of my reminiscing, back towards the topic at hand…

I think, personally, that this patch, while not THE big pvp patch we hoped for, has laid some nice ground work for them to build off of in the future. Such as removing the easy to obtain QP’s, which allows them to be introduced again, in a different way, even such as you have described above. Another feature, the fact that we matchmaking is in the game, can lay groundwork for a ladder to be built upon this. The new map, is also very much the most fun I’ve had in PvP since I began playing in beta… It adds a whole new element to capture points, and it makes for incredibly close and fun games, something I personally think would be fun to watch, in an esports type setting.

P.S. Davinci, your numbers are wrong in the OP… It bugs me.. 2.5 comes before 3.

I’ve mostly played bunker guardian, with some minor experiences as a mesmer. I’m in the same boat as Alerast, who posted above as our team mates simply just stopped logging in and we had no one to replace them. I could really use a solid team, and if anyone is interested, please message me in game.
