Guild Wars 2

I’m stuck in ranked queue

I’m not stuck in a match, but stuck in a queue. I need a solution. There is nothing that helps even if switch characters, go in another game type or log off.

Randulf.7614:

Orr makes sense given the connection to the Gods.

I heard it being clean Orr, but I don’t know. The ship looks Canthan and the sea looks green. That said showing clean Orr wold be a weird contrast.

Didn’t know that. Thanks. I’d like to know more about post GW1 Cantha.

This is going to be total speculation but what do we ow if anything about how it’s been after all these years? Luxon and Kurzick war still a thing?

All the lag and disconnects is making getting the PvP legendary that much harder and down time means less games. I also keep getting Dishonored penalties not my fault. I know I’m not the only suffering this.

I’m perfectly okay if there needs to be some down times, but if that happens the season needs to be extended. I hope everything is resolved soon though.

LS is supposed to be endless. Every two weeks.

Technically, Sylvari don’t really have genders. They are all equal except they have an outward appearance as “human”. This makes Marjory and Kasmeer a true lesbian couple.

Have you totally missed the Quaggan side character romance??? They are like Quaggan married or whatever Quaggans do. There is your straight couple.

Mixed species romance? That is a lot harder. The cultures are very different. Humans and Charr just got out of the longest war in the game. Most Charr would consider others “meat” unless they prove otherwise. Although friendship is possible, its very touchy right now. Asura don’t truly respect anyone not Asura. Sylvari are the most open society, but generally consider themselves different. Norn and Human is the most likely, but Norn respect must be earned with victories. Only rare humans could do that. Other species generally live tribally and don’t fit in the big cities aside from friendly merchants and travelers of their kind.

The elder dragon is what destroyed the old Lions Arch. That’s the LA you see in the bottom of the ocean. The way it used to look in GW1. I don’t know what she is looking for since the dragon is gone. Could be a relic left over from the dragon I suppose.

Uh… there’s six know elder dragons so far, only one of which (Zaitan) is dead. Jormag, Krakoltorik, Mordremoth, Primordus, and Bubbles are still alive.

I didn’t mean dead. i meant he left the area long ago.

So I’ve noticed a lot of anti-government behavior from Evon. Now more then ever. We all know him and Kiel don’t get along, but they have been rivals for a long time. There is more.

During the evacuation, players help Evon save his caravans. Once his goods are nearly secure, a captain tells him to hurry up so they can use the last gate for evacuations before it closes. Evon then spites the captain by going through the gate and closing it trapping the captain!

Back at Vigil Keep, he is screaming about how he was right and the blood is on Magnus, gets into a fight with the Lion Guard soldier and helps our favorite robot golem just to spite others.

People like saying Evon has no power, but they clearly forget money is power. Who are the richest characters? Evon and Queen Jenna. Evon has possibly more as the human citizens pay for Jenna’s bills.

With LA gone there is going to be a major power opportunity if people blame the captains for LA being in ruins. guess who would take advantage?

The elder dragon is what destroyed the old Lions Arch. That’s the LA you see in the bottom of the ocean. The way it used to look in GW1. I don’t know what she is looking for since the dragon is gone. Could be a relic left over from the dragon I suppose.

We took it back from the Orrians. They should have lit the beacons. Looks like either Scarlet bypassed them using the Lion Arch vulnerability to air strikes or someone fell asleep on the job. So are they safe there or all dead? Someone close this loophole.

I had this idea for a movie trailer parody for EFLA I could not get out of my head. In the style of cliche Hollywood movie trailers of course. Let’s see what you think.

In a city ruled by a crazy cabbage with a watch obsession, one hero who loves doing all the work while sharing the credit will rise up against the odds to take her down….

Our hero will team up with Braham a Norn with mother issues, Rox a Charr who wants to be popular, Marjory the film noir detective, her lover Kasmeer the nudist mesmer and Taimi from the Asura College of Cuteness.

Together they will join Ellen “I won” Kiel, Evon “Discounts” Gnashblade, The Council of Piracy, The Pact reserves, Destiny’s Edge members that feel like showing up, Canach the Karka hugger, Fail-o-Tron, Marcello the awful songwriter and lots of unarmed merchants.

They must make a stand or ESCAPE FROM LION ARCH….

An Arenanet films production

Rated PG-13 for scenes of strong vegetable violence, piracy and brief Kasmeer nudity.

Check your local computer for updates.

It might be ruined from what we know. Some parts could remain or be rebuilt. It might not be rubble, but a totally new looking LA. That can host events.

All trading is done through Black Lion, so Evon wins. The Consortium couldn’t even deal with Southsun.

So they are setting up Lion Arch to be a massacre. What NPCs would you like to see survive and what ones would you like to see die off? Who would try to save?

As someone in a T1 server (JQ), I’m definitely looking forward to this. Sometimes all servers are full and this looks like a good place to queue up in while waiting for an opening. It might even make some people like seasonal achievement hunters go here for achievements. Thanks for this.

Azure Prower.8701:

Not really hidden. Quite noticeable.

Not everyone who just glances will notice. I never really cared to look close until bored.

Once seen can not be unseen! Look at the bottom the platform in the sky. Stare at it. The green light has two distinct hands made of green light beams. One is long and moves fast and the other is shorter and moves slightly slower.

Look above me in the picture right of my head:

What Nina showed is just a rare worst case scenario. Truth is, it’s a common problem on Jade Quarry. Now more then ever. Siege Trolls are out of control. One commander quit commanding over this.

I remember one time there was a flame ram all over the place. We all had to tell the zerg to stop building and the commanders at the time got kittened. Some even tried to video it. We are still a very powerful server, but its still bad. Especially since JQ relies on tactics more then pure zerg.

What happens to Scarlet related events or dungeons once her story is concluded? To keep them would not make sense.

I am hoping you all are right and that the Copper Salvage is worth every penny and then some. In my case, I used real dollars on it a few weeks after it was out.

I really do want someone from Anet to give me a yes or no on this. Put my mind at ease before I start to use it on more then just greens and blues.

I am not the first to bring this up, but currently the Copper-fed Salvage has the item rarity increased drastically to ‘rare’ status. The description is that of a basic salvage kit.

This either means the kit is bugged or the description is. People, like myself, are worried about using the kits on high level materials because it could be an exploit. As an owned of this kit myself, I really need to know if it is okay to use it as a rare kit or not.

I REALLY WANT AN OFFICIAL RESPONSE ON THE CHANGE IF IT IS LEGIT OR IN ERROR. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY VERY IMPORTANT TO ME AND MANY OTHERS!

When did this happen? I only use my copper fed on blues and greens.

Reunited with SoR! Came across these lovely SoR who stood around long enough for me to nab a pic

<3

Score Update attached!

Nice to see SoR again on the battlefield, I did miss our fierce snuggle sessions

I actually ran into about 6 TC who waved when I popped the LOVE tag, then 1 of em attacked and the moment was over. I died a little inside.

Not many TCers know of the LOVE

That is disheartening considering LOVE was formed on Breadgate when we were matched up with TC and had that epically long thread full of toast and happiness. (Back in t2 days)

Oh and I had a TC zerg in EBG ignore us (about 5 bg’ers giving people pressies)…… we may have had a TC escort too. A giant norn. A lovely fellow. Oh those t2 days….. I miss em.

I few weeks ago, before the seasons, I ran into your fellow LOVE Asura piloting golems. I confronted them on it and they told me it was for some tough love. Maybe they are afraid your into the the rough stuff.

Zikory.6871:

Contiguous.1345:

Yes. It’s been an all-round unmitigated disaster.

My opinion of course…

@Zikory. There’s no good time to farm for anything in WvW except the pain you inflict on other players. It’s always going to be an issue.
And yes. I think across all servers queues are up a lot, guilds are struggling and there are dozens of randoms wandering about lost.

Well I asked because BG’s queues are much better this week. While still long not as bad as last week. I even heard of a float team…I was just wondering if a lot of your population kinda waited for this week to try and farm out the achievements since its a “easy week” for you guys.

“Easy week” or not any type of farming helps no one. The EB queue is at least a few hours at all times.

I approve of rewards for wvw, just not the way it’s set up. WvW is about killing and capping. The less servers or people who log in wvw do tat, the worse it is for all.

People put effort into capping and upgrading. This sort of encourages letting everything be paper for rewards.

I enjoy the concept of leagues and seasons. I find it more interesting. This is not a problem. The real problems arise from achievements in Living World for wvw.

As I type this, there is currently those trying to sabotage a full upgraded SM in the hope that another server can take it. Why you ask? Either to get achievements or to have others get it so they leave wvw.

WvW players see those seeking points as saboteurs who need to leave. The queue times are longer. They don’t always follow commanders or help out WvW. WvW players are doing jumping puzzles or something they normally would not do. It also makes Eternal Battlegrounds much harder to get in and much harder to want to leave.

I too find myself doing this. I enjoy wvw and getting rewarded for it. I would still rather do more of what I normally do then extra work for achievements.

I think the idea of getting people in wvw and reward those in it is a good one. The concept of rewards for tasks however is working against wvw. The rewards for the seasons can stay, but the tasks need to go as it is causing rifts on us top tier players and not helping the low tier servers do much be much better as far as I can tell.

SleepingDragon.1596:

Looks like SOR trying to fight for 2nd place. GJ BG, you showed SOR who’s the master.

SoR knows their master.. it is themselves. Afteral take tonight as an example. JQ help BG get waypointed hills back in the BG bl… 2minutes later a message recieved saying “We wont attack your holdings now, we want hills if you want to help” (pretty much what they said).

Our response? Smash BG left right and centre leaving them only their garrison whilst also beating up a bunch of JQ too.
Sure there were some near wipes/almost full wipes of us too against some the odds but still we make our own decisions

The other night in BGBL Bay, BG helped Sor take it by guarding the wall. Hours later on JQBL, BG helped us take Bay from Sor. Both times have either screenshots or videos of it. Looks like BG is trying to play master to me.

morrolan.9608:

Seigfried.5938:

Come on SoR, pick it up! JQ nearly caught up to you. I want to see JQue in 3rd.

Well stop with the organised 2v1 with JQ thats been going on for the last 2-3 days then.

You two always attack us, then BG goes for number one when they think JQ is beaten and broken by smacking you down. When will you SoR learn. Worse the Charlie Brown with Lucy’s football.

Gully.7358:

Everybody loves getting double teamed, don’t lie.

I was on JQBL during reset night and weekend. They double teamed too rough. Woke up real sore. No one likes that.

BG guarding on the wall for Sor’s push on bay in BGBL. They make a cute couple.

We at JQ know you all are teaming us and we will still triumph on the weekdays. Proof we are the real number one.

AvengerCap.7983:

“It was the hacking of our bay back in T2 on a repeated basis by a certain BG guild which started the BG/SoR rivalry. Since then BG has become a server which not only manages its members well but is quite apologetic for any type of hacking or exploiting. I have a lot of respect for that server to be quite frank. What is happening now with certain guilds is disheartening from a competitors viewpoint. Doing certain shady moves and using the rivalry between BG and SoR in the hopes the historic bias of our server will not change. But as far as I’m concerned, there is no more BG/SoR rivalry, let it officially be put to bed. And let the games begin fresh with the new season”

- Indo

SoR knows about guilds that hack. Can you say Fear and HL.

HL…Ya, it was an accident that we hacked into NW tower on JQBL 5 times in less than an hour.

If you were smart enough to form a valid opinion/argument, then youd realize your claim of us ‘hacking’ into your tower is just plain stupid. Sure dude, a few of us lagged through the gate and took your tower.. oh wait lol nevermind we jumped right out as we do not tolerate “hacking”. Morons.

Please explain how you “accidentally lagged” into the tower 4 or 5 times yet no JQ or BG “accidentally lagged” in the tower. In fact, no other SoR “accidentally lagged” into the tower.

You would think SOMEONE would have the same problem at some point. No, just you. I would just love to hear your theory of how you are the only guild effected by this.

I took a pic of JQ’s golem art in JQ citadel.

Hi All,

I wanted to comment about the incident that happened recently in-game, surrounding some negative community interaction from a member of the ArenaNet staff.

Simply put a big mistake was made by one of our employees, for which he is both very upset and sorry. He allowed his personal feelings to affect his interactions in-game whilst representing ArenaNet, and this is absolutely unacceptable.

Like all players, we are human, and all have our opinions on the game. However these opinions should never disrupt other player’s enjoyment of the things they love. On top of this we have worked very hard to create a community that is respectful to one another, and for this behavior to have occurred while a developer is representing ArenaNet is doubly saddening.

We all cherish the opportunity to play with the community, and we absolutely rely on you all for in game feedback, and personally I hope that this incident does not hamper what has so far been an amazing relationship and opportunity for us all.

I would therefore like to sincerely apologize for this behavior on behalf of our staff member. We are taking steps to address the incident and for his part, he is very sorry for behaving in the manner in which he did.

Regarding Guild game play, please understand it is extremely important to us, and an area we are paying a great deal of attention to, so please do be patient with the developers who work tirelessly on making WvW the very best it can be, they have a great deal of respect for you all, and value your collaboration in pushing this pioneering mode forward. Also please note this member of staff is not on the WvW team.

Finally, World vs. World is a free-for-all battle. Our expectation of staff is that they should be playing, and enjoying the game like everyone else, and not being disruptive or disrespectful to others.

And in this spirit I hope we can move forward, and continue, what has up to this point, been a great community/developer relationship. One that I know our team massively values and loves.

Thank you all for your time and i hope you have a lovely weekend,

ChrisW

Seeing many of you here are GvG, you might not like what I have to say. I still feel I should say it from my own opinion. I would support and official GvG arena, but I don’t like GvG.

The reason being is that you all take up valuable WvW space for those who want to WvW. In that way, your not thinking of your fellow players. Whether or not Anet supports it or hates it, I would rather see valuable space going to even a random person who wants to WvW. If they can’t get in a map, you interfere with their fun. One should not be selfish.

GvG might contribute some, but not much to WvW. I do wish for some official support for those who enjoy it, but I don’t see the value of it when my rear is out there fighting the good fight and others really are not. See it from other players view. Not just yours or even Anet’s.

Just got my first dragon kill and wow this dragon meat is delicious. As of about 2:35 AM server time we manage to kill the dragon flawlessly!

I think this event points out a flaw that effects not only this event, but future ones. Overflows exist for a reason, I get that. What we need is for the removal of guests on servers unless there is room for such guests in an area.

The idea is that people from the home world can effectively kick out any guests in an area. Home world members will get priority to return to their home world over guests. Every area will be reserved for a home world member over any guests. This will allow servers to focus on their players.

Took some nice photos of him from angles you have never seen before. Sorry my wings got a bit in the way. Still good.

Funny how Teq is harder than Zhaitan. The Elder Dragon of Death was defeated by just five players.

Perspective though. In other words, we need another fleet of Pact floating battleships.

Both. Good luck with that.

Lucky.9421:

30 minutes is way too long for one boss fight. :X

For this guy? Nope. Even 30 minutes won’t guarantee victory.

Randulf.7614:

Chuck Norris got him down to 5%

But he couldn’t quite finish him off..

Tequatl..the new Texas Ranger!

Bruce Lee’s zombie got him down to 1% and Bruce Lee is twice what Chuck is even undead.

On overflow. Got him down to maybe 70%. Only one or two turrets when down. Just too much HP in too little time.

The dragon itself is not impossible to beat with the right effort and persistence. The timer on him is. Ten minutes is just too short of a time for such a high HP boss. The timer is making him impossible. I would personally recommend 30 minutes minimum.

She is keeping it random and it scares you? Exactly what the Joker of GW2 wants!

Mine is also gone!

Open on Jade Quarry NA right now.

Why must topics like this happen? Is this what our society has been reduced to? The constant struggle not for equality, but for demands being placed on art. We all have our values, but no one cause should define your life. If your really passionate about your morality then there are so many real life causes you can get involved in.

Perhaps the whole “it’s a video game or it’s art” arguments are overdone, yet they are the most constant and logical ones to make. Even if female body image was on the creators’ brain, does not you noticing it make it on yours as well? That is perspective. Step outside of yourselves from time to time.

Art without criticism isn’t art.

Criticize art about its content and meanings not just " I see metal chests ". That’s all I ask. Some maturity and not just juvenile critiques.

The content and meaning is exactly what’s being debated….

What a double standard put on the female image. What about guys like Superman? Tall, dark, in perfect shape and fearlessly brave. How does that effect my male body image? No, I’m told I have to be that guy.

Yet somehow when the same thing is applied to the female form, this is up for mature debate. It’s just not logical.
