Guild Wars 2

If you need a place that feels more like coming home get ahold of me in game or send me a PM.

When I pick up a banner it is triggering the affect for the Sigil of Superior Geomancy. Not sure if that is intended, it still seems to follow the internal cool down but I can’t be certain.

The UI isn’t updated for the new affect for this. It still says Longbow damage is increased by 10% against burning foes.

The effect is there for the 20% cool down though.

TV is considering bringing around 100 players into it’s WvW front. Be it individuals or a whole guild entirely that is just looking to be able to do more. We have a 2 week recruitment period, if people cause disruption they don’t make it past that 2 weeks. It is the core rule that we believe keeps our guild one of the best on all of TC.

TV is once again opening recruitment. If your looking for a very good guild with some great people now is the time to join us.

Guild Name: Transcendent Veneration [TV]

Timezone Coverage: We have Members and Recruiters for NA East to West, South America, Aussie/NZ – You name the time, we have someone there!

Guild primary focus: [TV] is a PvX guild with a large group of regular WvWvW players. We support all play styles; HAVE FUN DOING WHAT YOU WANT TO DO! That’s our motto!

Guild RP: We are not an RP guild.

Guild website: http://transcendentveneration.com

Special notes/requirements: Minimum age 18. The majority of our members are 20-40 and includes many gaming couples. We require members to maintain a 50% representation rate for PvE. WvW is 100% representation rate.

Transcendent Veneration was created by 4 friends who have gamed together in many worlds for over 15 years and who started this guild exclusively for Guild Wars 2. To us, Transcendent Veneration signifies beyond respect. We believe being respectful is of the utmost importance and by being so we earn respect in return.

Since our creation, we have grown into a large, active and social PvX guild with anywhere from 40-100 of our 370 players online during NA day and evening (Prime) hours. We also have an active night crew if you play off hours and are looking for others to play with. We are finished with all guild upgrades.

We regularly hold guild events. Anything from Dungeoning to Jumping Puzzle races to Scavenger Hunts (on 3/24 winning ScavHunt team won a cool 50g!). We are now running Guild Bounty, Trek, Rush and Challenge Missions and Guild Puzzles! We keep our Guild Calendar full, just for our members!

We pride ourselves on our outstanding attitudes and respectable members and leadership. We offer a website, Teamspeak 3 and a great community, not just within our guild but Tarnished Coast is a pretty fantastic server!

If you like WvWvW, we have a wonderful list of Commanders who have been leading successfully and respectably in the Eternal Battlegrounds: Sab, Pboogie, Hathaway, Rezna and others.

If Transcendent Veneration sounds like the guild for you, check us out and contact us today!

We look forward to meeting you!!

If any of your group decides they aren’t happy with the final decision, my guild http://transcendentveneration.guildportal.com/Guild.aspx?GuildID=447231&TabID=3829020 Transcendent Veneration on TC is looking to amp up their WvW presence. We have space for roughly 100 members. Our guild is fully upgraded, with a pool of influence and merits enough to instantly purchase the next upgrade that comes out. Obviously we would want to be sure the transferred group was a good fit with our guys before hand. If you would like to discuss details please PM me. We use our own TS server for communication, TC uses mumble for the server com.

I like Rezna’s suggestion with the change to the Outmanned buff. To me that seems the least amount of work for the most amount of gain. Already have the Outmanned buff in the game adding some extra stats to it I don’t think would be very difficult vs some of the other suggestions.

Just give the Commander Tags the ability to only show to your own guild member’s. Or expand the Squad to 50’ish and only those in your squad can see you on the battlefield – that would just take mod’ing the exsisting code for not being able to see other commanders if you are in someone else’s squad.

wow your last sentence is a killer lol – but i really have no idea how I could have said it any better. I think more people would benefit by posting their idea’s here, or if there is already a main thread going for how to fix the WvW matchup’s maybe we could get them merged.

Really if we came together as a community and tried to help spitball idea’s that would make it better I believe that they would listen if they thought what we said would work, or was feasible to implement.

I’ve seen a lot of people just saying “Rage quit – this is so blah blah blah” If everyone turned all that time they took to write the negative messages and turned it towards thinking of a better way to run the WvW matchups we’d probably already have found the best solution.
:)

Maybe there should be incentives for lower population WvW servers? Like increased Wxp to influence people to transfer and try to get some balance across the servers…

What about making Tier 1 servers fight 2v1 against low Tier servers. While that would change the dynamic of Wv3 it would balance out imo and make it more fun for everyone, like in the random mixer it is now if it ended up A B C. If A had 10 and BC were 3-5 they would be allies for the week and work on stomping the higher populated WvW server.

Or what if WvW was more like sPvP where you played on shared servers? Could change the names of the 3 teams, dunno just Blue Red Green for the week. Then make it so 5 of the low WvW pop servers joined in 1 team and some of the top end tier’s just pretty much still had their own team. If this steadied out to where it was the same server’s grouped together on a team eventually they would establish their own community again. I’m sure Anet knows how many different accounts play in WvW in each server, I don’t think it would be hard at all for them to balance which servers to group together.

I for one would love trying to fight 1v2 against some lower pop WvW servers. Like for instance this week TC is against CD and SoS, already without going out of the weekend we own almost all of the maps 24/7.(not trying to brag or anything, I think you guys are doing great work in WvW been some great fights, reset night in EB was crazy fun on TC side If CD and SoS were allies this wouldn’t happen, especially if they shared Team chat and could plan strikes against us.

And on the flip side I would love taking another shot against SoR if we were allied with another server and could muster enough 2v1 to make it a fair fight. SoR trashed us last week the same way we’re kind of doing right now.

Both of my above comments would apply to either of my idea’s on ways to balance the matches, shared servers or 2v1 sets.

I think the random color’s every week should always stay part of the system regardless of what else changes.

I think the real problem with them doing it is that they are trying to do it when they have released new content. For our server I know it’s a major factor in determining WvW participation. When people have finished the content there will be probably 200+ more people playing on our WvW maps. So if we get balanced to a lower count while the numbers are down we’ll end up in matchups that we roll when everyone is playing again. It’s a fickle beast, best of luck making it work out right.

Man give us Guild only Commander Tag’s and WvW would change forever… They already have it programmed so that if you join someone’s squad all the other tags on the map are no longer visible to you….

So that means they already have the code to make it so people can’t see your tag unless they join your squad. If you can make other’s disappear why can’t something be put in to make it only show up when you are in the squad?

I think the time for reset should stay the same as it always has since it can’t be separated EU and NA times, we already have quite a few people in our guild that can’t make it as it is because they are just getting home and what not. This will tip that scale even farther.

I love seeing all the 2am reset vs the 3pm Friday reset arguments. If situations were reversed the 2am reset happening to NA you’d be up in arms when you couldn’t come at all because you were still at work VS just having to take a bit of a nap or stay up late on a Saturday. I’m up till around 4am or so anyhow on reset nights (NA here) really it would be just fine with me to have it early on a Saturday morning vs at a time when I was at work and not able to attend at all.

We’re talking the difference between inconvenience and plain out impossible to even be here at a certain time.

I really agree with a lot that has been said here, especially lately with my server. We don’t seem to have enough players around to even try to hold or take a keep but always seems to be 15-30 people in the JP. I think making them their own instance would really go a long ways towards keeping our WvW maps populated.

It’s fixed now, great job

I can’t gain access to our home server’s BL. I asked around and everyone is having this issue.

This reset is needed. The ratings have been screwed since day 1 with all the bandwagoneer’s jumping to whatever place is doing great. I hope some serious WvW guilds change servers again after this to all play together and we some real T1 battles without PUG’s

Still got a couple days left to move, whether it’s to TC or not you should do it while it’s free

Still a couple days left Get in while the gettin’s good(free)

Looking forward to meeting all our new recruits. =)

Some of the best people I have met in any MMO as a matter of fact lionspride =)

Join us tomorrow for WvW reset and see what we’re capable of.

Still at the Very High status on TC. If you haven’t moved yet you still have time to do so.

Not enough room in the title for me to say “WvW transfers”

Now is the time to transfer it seems they have increased our server capacity so if you are still waiting to come over, or even thinking about it do it now. If you need a good guild when you come over check out our recruitment thread for Transcendent Veneration.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/guilds/guilds/Tarnished-Coast-Transcendent-Veneration-TV-Looking-for-a-few-more/page/2#post1274645

If you need a home on TC, or are planning to transfer and think you fit with our crew give one of us a whisper in game.

Our server is only full during NA prime time hours i think any other time you can get in

Transcendent Veneration among other guilds would be happy to bring some off time players, currently the only time to join TC I think is in the non prime hours. Which is when we get the map completely wiped while we sleep, not much we can do about that unless whole guilds are going to start switching shifts at work to play a game. =)~

We’re still recruiting mature players and have room for people both on our server that have maybe lost their guild’s or changed their minds about which guild they have joined. If you need a home, google Transcendent Veneration and you’ll find our website as one of the first links. Also feel free to contact any of us here about an invite.

You’re wrong about the down state…. It’s your fault for not finishing off the people you say you’ve killed, you haven’t killed them. There are builds in traits designed around being able to live in your downed state or even kill people while downed.

Unless your computer sucks hardcore why are you playing alone in WvW? If you want to gank in your so called “fair” fights make a thief and kill people when their backs are turned.

I play with my friends in WvW and have my builds designed around playing in a group. I couldn’t kill anyone 1v1 if I tried. That is really why you don’t see your duel’s going on. When I do find 1 person, I say it on vent and 5 other people come help me slaughter them.

That kind of stuff has been happening longer than just last night. I’m with you though, sorry to any servers that see this thing happen from our beloved TC. But if you do see it, screenshot and report it, help us help you

TV is still recruiting mature players. We are a PvX guild that has a diverse group of interests. Can always find someone that wants to do something.

I think Omlet deserves a shout out! =)~ He has really been working hard to give the guild fun events every week that they can attend. Look forward to joining in more Omlet when my RL decides to settle down some. I think every day I gain 1 new gray/white hair.

Score update – 3:10pm EST

That was a heck of a 3 way battle for FA’s keep in EB! Lot of fun guys.

Gotta say I’ve been having a blast with fellow TV members, no matter where I go in the world I literally see at least 1 other person. And usually it’s more like 5+, unless we’re talking WvW then I think we’re talking 20 average, resets though are a different story. Had a lot of fun on vent and in game with everyone Friday!

Today has been a fun day in EB. FA lost their entire side of the map, that lasted for ooo maybe 40 mins or so? Then suddenly Yak’s started pressing in on our side so we had to drop back to defend and that’s all the opening FA needed to start stabbing at us too. I dunno I think we spent almost 4 hours of repelling you guys simultaneously out of our territory, but it was amazing fun! I and 1 other were leading our team at the time and I gotta say I wanted to pull my beard out, everyone had different thoughts on how to repel everything but all I could do was react because it was happening so fast and constantly.

Great fights overall, but I kinda feel like we’ve reached some kind of stalemate. I don’t even feel like our own TC’rs are putting in 100%. Sacrificing to the golem god to keep entertained. =)~

I posted earlier about the Mad King chests, no idea where that is in here. Just wanted to say that with 200 black lion chest’s and 90 mad king chest’s and only 1 weapon skin, the dagger. I do not intend to spend $ on gem’s again. That’s past the point of random, to the house cheating the players IMO.

So I combined boosts with the new recipe in the mystic forge. I had 90 Mad King chests. Not 1 weapon skin. Don’t waste your boosts trying, I don’t think it’s even a possibility as loot in these. I had like 70% MF, if that even applies to chests.

As it is right now using treb’s to bombard a wall for your team to get into screws you over completely. You sit for an hour bombarding a base and finally knock the wall down, your team storms inside and get a big reward.

You get absolutely nothing for your effort other than your server saying.. “Keep it up they’re repairing the wall!”

I just think there should be events triggered for knocking down walls and gates so you at least get something for all the trouble you have to do for a successful siege.

The most important task is the least rewarding?

I think specifically I’m thinking about Eternal Battleground. A few of my guild mates were talking and we thought it would be a good idea to give whichever server had the lowest rank going into the match the green side of the map. And then make whichever had the highest the red side of the map.

Many of us feel that the green area is much more defensive. While the red area seems like it can be rolled kind of easy.

Blue area is kinda mixed.

Anyway if you went with this kind of balancing it could save trying to change the map around.

EB has been a bear of a fight. The Transcendent Veneration guild tried to hold off FA for the start of the map while the rest of the team hit BG. It was going pretty well, we had Klovan and Jerrifer’s for a little while. Then FA stole SM and things went crazy. I’ve no idea the how or why but we ended up pushing back up again. Maybe it’s the whole north thing someone mentioned previously. That went on for a while, and our team hit Veloka? And at the same time TV stole their way into SM, someone had trebbed the walls down. Now SM has changed hands to all 3 teams within the first 4 hours? Now it’s currently back in BG hands, you guys are rocking the map I gotta say. Can’t believe you’re keeping us both pressed in EB at the same time. Been a great match so far.

Good luck Tyria!

I’m glad you guys over there are keeping your heads up, keep recruiting and working to be a community. People with elitist attitudes really don’t help anyone.

I gotta hand it to TV, their commanders have really been a boon to us in WvW. Don’t think we’d be as far as we are if some of them hadn’t stepped up. Great job, keep up the good work.

Any score update for the ongoing match?

Ya I don’t know what’s up but something is definitely odd about the way our siege equipment is magically getting destroyed, far inside the keep’s / tower’s / castle’s. Out of any LoS a character could possibly have and no siege being able to hit it.

It’s not that no one is using it for 30 mins and it’s disappearing, it’s that the enemy team is somehow doing something that’s very questionable allowing them to kill it without being anywhere near it.

I don’t think it was the mesmer’s clone’s killing it either btw.

Your proposed system is flawed because it puts the power in the hands of people, and people as a whole are dumb. Badges of honor would be an ok alternative to buying it…. but it better cost at least 10,000 honor badges. Because no way do 1,000 = 100g. You can earn like 500+ in 3 days time. I know some people that have spent that much just in siege equipment.

Beyond the rumor’s of DB and CD working hand and hand our server has been having a great time. CD has been working their tails off to capture most of the map. Their demoralize tactic may be working as I think a fair number of TC has decided to just take a nap this week. I can’t speak for the night crew on TC, but I’ve only seen 1 guild during the day with commanders in the field trying to make an attempt at keeping our piece of the pie. Really not sure where everyone got off to. Pretty hard to do much vs invisible army, more especially when the invisible army can divide in half and still out number you.

Score update:

Not sure if this has been said before or not. But I’m noticing on our WvW matchup that the other side is able to hit siege equipment that shouldn’t be targetable. For instance we had a catapult sheltered by the stairway wall in Anz, right next to the ramp way up. The treb’s couldn’t get the angle to hit it. Someone instantly destroyed it though when the other team came to attack. The same thing happened for Ogrewatch, there is something going on that is allowing siege equipment to be destroyed. We had 3 catapults up stopping ram’s from being built, then suddenly they weren’t there anymore. I was in one of them, there was no damage even ticking off that I ever saw. I’m not going to mention what server’s; not going to play the blame game.

Truth is every server is gonna use this type of stuff until it’s fixed, so if you know what’s going on pop in and say something so they can get it resolved. For every 100 of us that want to play legit there’s gonna be that 1 person that would rather cheat.

Guild mate of mine lost half their gold because they bought something, and as they closed the trading post the game crashed. It apparently made them buy 2 of the item they were purchasing because the amount missing was exactly twice the cost of what they bought. They went from nearly 24g(I think) to about 4g in less time than it takes to relaunch the game.

Judging from the response that I received to my post at https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/account/Hacker-s-and-you/page/2#post146393

My opinion is that there was something like this that was supposed to be in place and that they had no idea it wasn’t working somehow…

Who can say, maybe it’s not simple to do with their data system. Maybe they could just change the email address login’s to something else we make up so that it’s not as easy to guess?

I wish we knew what they planned to do for this. I feel like my account is just a ticking time bomb now. Especially since “we can not restore any lost items”. I guess it’s better this kinda stuff happens now, rather than a year from now. Still sucks though, 1 of my guild mates came back 4g richer and another came back minus10g and all their stuff vendor trashed / deleted.

Can’t join my part in the instance. It puts me in a separate instance.

Here’s the chain of events leading up to the problem.

We had a group of 5 initially come in for CoF, cleared most of it.

1 of our group members had to leave.

We invited another guild member to come with us. They didn’t know where it was, so I waypoint to the beginning and exit instance so they can find it easier.

CoF is now reset and the event to open has to be done again. So we help clear that stuff once he gets up top and when we zone in, we 2 are in the same instance but can not rejoin our group.
