Guild Wars 2

Hello Anet!
When you started streaming and showing Guard, Necro and Mesmer specializations I hoped all the other professions would follow consistently showing one new every week. But it seems you are showing other stuff in between now and I’m just sitting here waiting for Thief spec, just as others might be sitting there just waiting for Engi, Ranger, Ele or Warrior spec.
Could you give us some information on when you plan on streaming about the other specs so that we (who are waiting for that) is not so dissapointed when you’re showing something else the other weeks?

Suggestion:
A schedule that reaches at least 1 month ahead , showing what the subject of the stream is going to be about each week.

It would seem that people are again attempting to direct the topic of discussion elsewhere. The point of this thread is not the legitimacy of WvW as a requirement for map completion; it is to discuss that SoS has not been green for three months and that we, the players affected, would like some sort of official acknowledgement of the issue.

If you would like to discuss WvW as a requirement for map completion, please do so elsewhere.

WvW color and map completion is an intertwined subject though. Explain how SoS have been affected (other than the map completion reason) by not being a certain color, in this case green?

I play in WvW almost every day. This is my tips on how to do it.

First, I understand your frustration about doing map completion in WvW. But to be fair and what is mostly left unsaid is that WvW is actually semi-pve i.e.
there are events and mobs in WvW that has nothing to do with gaining anything for your server. And I’m not saying I like this fact particularly. I don’t like Anet putting the toxic spore living content in the map. (I do like to kill the wurm/warg/harpys for some sweet wxp though, but that’s another story.)

While I would be totally OK with Anet not requiring world map completion to include WvW, I don’t think it would be a change we can see be implemented soon. So for the time being you’ll just have to come up with a temporaty solution.

My tips on how to do it?

So our objective is the green keep in EB, also known as Lowlands. You say that during an attempt you had both walls down for an hour. Which walls? How many were involved and how did you get them down?

The good news is that you don’t have to cap the keep to get the vista or poi. So getting the gates or walls down so you at least can reach lordsroom and you might be able to do it the sneaky way, if you come a bit prepared. Come with 3 thieves and 1 mesmer. The mesmer need to know the little JP well and can get to the top fast and then drop a portal to get you up.
This is simply to prevent you from failing the JP while you are under time preassure if someone spots you. The thieves can remain you in stealth to avoid the enemy zerg and get you to a convenient place to put the portal. Search “gw2 lowlands vista” on youtube and use the vista tutorial to plan ahead.

Keep this in mind.

Taking an enemy keep takes resources and dedication. Asking in map chat for help is all good, but don’t mention that you want it for map completion and how many weeks you have struggled. Keep this to yourself and unite your forces with a common incentive. Most flipping comes about during night time (also known as nightcapping).

I have not traited Forceful Greatsword. There is no animation. I suggest, reset all of your traits so nothing is traited. Try the sigil. If you still don’t get it to work, try another trait setup. Still nothing? Then it might have nothing to do with your specific trait setup.

I know there have been some rune in the game that had a bug or something where you had to unequip-equip the armor for it to work again. Give something like that a try?

Anyway, could be good if you take screenshots or note as much as possible about your current build and what you are using and then sending in some kind of bug report.

Yes you laugh, but your enemies will not

Since I like and use this sigil often in my builds I found it interesting and therefore I tried Superior Sigil of Blood on my warrior now, with Greatsword. And it works for me. I even recorded it so I could note that as it does 452 dmg and heals 462 HP aka lifesteal on an exact 5 sec cooldown.

This is not a bug. Your skill works as intended Anet change the way skills work sometimes.

If you want to keep up with the changes they make, I recommend reading the game update notes, which they post here:

Cheers

Can’t think of anything to add atm, but overall, I found it very interesting in a positive way.
