It is obvious BG has too many good commanders compared to other servers. Anet should create incentive for good players to go to other servers

Edited for you. We have many commanders that can cover a majority of time zones (except during OCE, where we tend to have 1 or 2 zergs floating around). Player skill doesn’t vary too much between server to server. Just zerg tactics.

Maybe more incentives to become a good commander?

We have good commanders, we need more incentive for people to kitten listen! “I’m not following you, me and 20 other people are gonna run around and get wxp while you fight (and win) outnumbered, but were gonna complain forever if you lose.” <this is the reason our guilds are running untagged and no one wants to tag up.

Being a Blackgate native since forever, its good to see a more balanced JQ and BG, i’m just disappointed that SoS didn’t have the coverage/numbers they needed.
This week has been fun for the little I’ve gotten to play. I have to say without a doubt my favorite fights this week have been against [SR], they’re great at small team tactics, and they work well together. Their commander mimics my own commanding style and that’s made for great fights at each encounter, and they DON’T RUN, which is refreshing to see in T1.
I also have to sing praises to SoS’s small havoc zergs, they’re quick and clean, and their surprise attacks make it interesting.
There’s been amazing effort all around, but new arrivals on each server have made these past weeks a frustratingly steep learning curve, and every server needs commanders willing to step up and teach the people who want to learn how to wvw like a boss.
This tournament was a great idea, but hopefully the match-ups will even out more over the next few months.

“Driven by Whispered promises and Madness”, Krait holding Nightmare-ish weapons, Large Root protruding from the side of the tower, I believe we can count Scarlet in on this one. My theory remains.

they way i imagined it, the krait are very proud, but like the grawl not very smart, and the bloodwitch is extreamly power hungry, scarlet could promise the bloodwitch power, but double cross the krait in the end, unless the end result is just to bring massive power into the world for mordy to take later. Of course there’s also the chance that this krait update is just another distraction while Anet works on other things, i can’t imagine it takes much time for a full living story team to build a tower.

I may be wrong, or early, but heres the short and simple:
Krait are building and Obelisk, Possibly for Scarlet who plans to channel magic for the Elder Dragon Mordremoth, whom she met within the dream. This will increase the dragon’s power moving the story forward towards Maguuma/Sea of Sorrows, which will provoke our friends the Tengu, whom will become the next playable race. In the expansion coming next year.

This coming from months of speculation in trying to tie the story in with the "Unproven" expansion hinted at in late 2012 by an NC Soft marketing company who released data suggesting their profits may greatly increase near the end of 2013. This information quickly hushed and NC Soft and ANet releasing the statement "We have no plans for a full expansion at this time."

Request: Link’s Awakening Title Theme “Overworld Theme”

Remove guesting or allow no map population cap. It is impossible to do anything on high population servers without a full map. Either fix this or don’t sell a game you cant support.

JQ merc, stop running away and porting, I just want to jump on you.

Not everyones transferred yet, so I exactly wasn’t in the mood to 10 v 40

So Stealthzor’s guild has nothing to do with merc then? Looked like a lot more than 10.

Currently all of the members from MERC that stayed on blackgate (quite a few btw) are now having to find/form new guilds, its natural they would want to stay with people they know and play well with. As far as Stelthzors guild goes i haven’t heard anything about it yet, but i can tell you that there is no official ex-MERC guild.

After successfully defeating Tequatl, Blackgate takes on its toughest challenge yet!

Currently growing our WvW Team! If youre an SEA/OCX Blackgate WvW player who prefers a break from the normal pug and zerg, and prefers to cause a little havoc while benefiting the server, and gaining loads of WXP. Contact Smoke In The Wind or Seismic Coconut.

Can you tell us more about the “changes to some of the Ranger weapons”. Rangers have been ignored for so long we get nervous when you say you’re changing something.

The Description reads: “Will return the original appearance item and stats item from an existing transmuted item. All items will remain soulbound.”

Example: Rox’s Quiver Skin applied to Rare back-brace, Rare back-brace transmuted to Exotic back-brace.
When using the Transmutation Splitter on the now Exotic Rox’s Quiver, would you get the Rox’s Quiver Skin item, or the Rare back-brace with Rox’s skin on it?

Another question concerning weapon “Skins” from the BLTC, when splitting the skin from an item, would you get the Useable Rox’s Quiver skin? or the Rox’s quiver skin applied to a lvl0 back-brace?

Update: Upon buying a transmutation splitter i see now that it gives the original skin and the item its currently equipped on. However, it lists Rox’s Quiver as a “Back Item” which leads me to believe it is not a useable skin, and will require a Transmutation stone to reuse.

6:06 est, JQ Mesmer walks through inner middle portal of BG owned Dreadfall bay, places portal, Ports JQ Zerg directly into inner. 3 witness to this, 0 possiblity of that mesmer being inside inner bay. If you have to cheat to get ahead, what makes you think thats winning? [MYTH] Guild zerg, Female Human Mesmer.

This tactic was used against me earlier today, its a flawless way to win without ever fighting the enemy, and its completely supported by Anet! The secret is:report the enemy for inappropriate language and get them banned!. Again, this is FULL SUPPORTED by Anet during tPvP! ENJOY!

yes, because hes ignoring how finishing moves work, and using a bug to insure target is downed. are you saying if you go down you should just stay still and not try to stay alive?
This should be fixed, along with the hundred of other bugs in pvp.

i aswell would like to know what to do with these, and why my gift and snowman finishers were REMOVED from pvp locker

if its by design, then its poorly designed, it gives an unfair advatage to certain classes, and completely eliminates the need for a downed state, if theres 0 chance of interupting or avoid the finisher

This has probably been asked before, but why is it allowed that Steal and other instant cast teleports do not interrupt a finisher. It clearly not how these skills were ment to be used, yet they’ve gone unfixed for months. This is a Bug that’s being openly exploited in pvp, and it makes playing against thieves even less fun. Are you planning to fix this anet??

Also, i had Gift and Snowman finishers in PvP locker, which are now missing, due to changes. What does anet plan to do about this?

It’s banned now, would only take a few min to track who the hacker sent mail to from the account, would be easy to track the chain of bots back to the person responsible, i guess a few min of work isnt worth the account security of the playerbase. But like astral said account restoration will get his account back. we dont care about our stuff from guild bank, they only stole ~100g worth of items. the important thin is ren gets his account back.

It’s not my guild leaders account, its a friend thats in the guild. The Guild leader is trying to contact himvia Playstation Network, to tell him his account is hacked, we haven’t contacted him yet, and like Astral said we want to protect his account. We’re having all our guildies report his account for botting, but its not doing anything. Is there any way to have support look into this without waiting for the automated ban system?

my question still isn’t answered about how we report someone elses account is hacked

fair point, ill have the guild report him for botting while we get up with him

if he can recover his account without having it banned it will save him a week of anet support’s bullkitten getting it reactivated

Update: we’re now trying to contact him via PS Network, so im removing the picture to prevent reporting.

What do you do when you suspect a friend/guildies account has been hacked? Yesterday a guildie that’s been with us for years, but doesnt play gw2 as much, logged in to gw2 and raided the guild stash, hes now standing in Fireheart for the past 2 days and wont respond to anyone. We believe his account is hacked and the person is now running a bot.

Not that it matters but for the sake of accuracy, the guys who posted the low BG ppt earlier play on JQ, not SOR.

It’s just amusing BG posted back replying to SOR. That’s some obsession.

:)
Didn’t you hear? SoR and BG are actually lovers, they just like to have well… lets just call it a ‘dramatic’ relationship :P

Alot of domestic abuse going on if that’s the case.

take at look at those again, top of screen says +420, thats SoR. 1 JQ posted during their fight with SoR, where you can clearly see SoR’s “20” people. and his response of “was hills really worth that” was because 15-20 BG held hills against 30-40 JQ, attempting to break north gate 6-7 times, which cost them atleast 8 golems, 4 treb, 6 cata and an AC, over a 2 hour time frame.

RobF.5864:

Not really – its fairly obvious whats going on

SoR EU coverage stayed up late to troll BG, now BG is making example of them during oceanic, meanwhile JQ is sitting back saying “at least they’re not attacking us”.

“haha btw we run 20”

“another pic no golems, BUT WAIT! ““btw we run 20”” thats totally 20 in that pic, and not 40+10 following commander on mini map."

Muuum, am I doing it right?

nope, try this

Ill be back! haha btw we run 20

I notice your golems are conveniently out of the picture, gj taking undefended towers/keeps with 4+ Omega Golem, then bragging like you acomplished something.

better version without all the toy soldiers

claimer: not my screenie, i use green soldiers too ><

another pic no golems, BUT WAIT! “btw we run 20” thats totally 20 in that pic, and not 40+10 following commander on mini map.

Do please come back to BG LA, we love visits from SoR.

Oh, let us get that for you SoR, no need to thank us.

Gismor.8407:

The new WvW meta. Little costly…

DB Map Chat:“Is this a trick? should we attack those? is that a portal over there? oh sh-”

Same thing is happening to everyone else, but have yet to see ANet care.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Guild-Challenge-Deep-Trouble-Bug/first#post2054035

This exact same thing just happened to our guild “Tinfoil Hat Conspiracy [LiES]” Today at around 7pm EST. We completed the Blightwater shatterstrike guild challenge AND the Bear Lope Guild rush. However, we did not receive guild merits for them although they were completed on time, and all members received persona Rewards. It’s not easy to get our guild online at the same time, we would like our rewards to be added.

If a Dev. could please respond to this thread, which is nearly a month old.

yes that’s been a bug since beta, all projectiles are destroyed inside bubble, and pet is spawned outside. Use a Melee weapon for portal part.

Forcing people to other servers would reset their guild influence, no ones going to go willingly unless they compensate that. If they disabled chests for guests it would force people to do world events on their on server.

then we need more server space, 19/24 servers are listed as “Very High” population, and the other 5 are “High” something has to be done because its making the game unplayable during certain times of the day.

Recently Blackgate gained many transfers of guilds and players for wvw, while this is good our server has become overpopulated. Combined with the Guesting problem, it is impossible for any blackgate player to do Dragon or World events without arriving to the area 30min early. We either need more server room/bandwidth, or guesting needs to be disabled on full servers.

once again, something that’s been broken since beta goes ignored.

Twice now. stop breaking things.

Chopper got stuck on Arah story, that’s extreamly annoying. It’s right in the middle of the dungeon and we had to restart. And now its stuck and we cant reenter from new.

updated: working now, deposited everything into storage, and went to home server.

Trying to “salvage” Globs into vials, the recipe calls for 1 Glob, 1 Master Salvage Kit, 1 Mystic Coin, 1 Fractal Relic. I put the glob in and it grays out the other ingredients, i put them all in and it fails to recognize it as a recipe. I just salvaged a Shard into 3 globs using this recipe, but Globs recipe is broken. See screenshot.

Neves.2905:

Guys, I hate to break it to you, it’s just an icon. Look: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Commander

Yes but with that icon comes the power to control all noobies on the map who have no other idea of what to do except “follow the blue arrow” which allows them to learn basic tactics (if the commander isn’t completely incompetent)(see my above post for fix).

I was just about to suggest a change to commander title which allows people to “Vote” for or against commanders, a number which would be shown when hovering over the Commander icon on map. This would allow Bad commanders to be voted down and good commanders to be voted up, while still allowing anyone to become a commander. Of course this could be abused by guilds voting up for their commanders, but eventually poor tactics from said commander would cause the score to diminish, the same could be said of trolls who would vote down just to satisfy their prepubescent sense of humor. I do however think this would be a step in the right direction, and would qualify as the “Rep system” that OP asked about.

i was going to respond to this, and note about giganticus in arah, but anet seems to enjoy removing posts of anyone with a legitimate idea, so ill just say these 2 dungeons need to be nerfed and wait for anet to ban me from forums
