Guild Wars 2

My own fault I guess since I thought precursor crafting was going to be in. Got overly excited for nothing.

Don’t get me wrong, im not close to my legendary since I am just so crestfallen to even need dusk, but todays patch excited me immensely because a dev said you can craft precursors(i guess he meant eventually)

I made a few exotic weapons, mystic toileted it all away and just going back to someday dreaming of having a twilight.

nope..guildie just got his too and he already got the event reward before..zzzz

that was hours ago king..what is this process suppose to take? days?

Everyone else is getting mailboxed items and I still have not received anything..come on arena net

whoever can get me into an overflow with the event working + if the chest doesnt bug out on me i WILL tip handsomely especially if i get a precursor

ign Soutalgon US servers

@Regina: does this mean we’ll get our rewards?

I missed out on the chest finale due to the game being laggy/buggy and learned that I missed out on a 20 slot bag, precursor chances, and exotics

Please make more overflow servers for events and make the cap per map a ton smaller please?

where do I send in a ticket?

I did not receive my items from the final event and was participating! Seriously some people got dawn AND dusk at the same time and barely did any work

Seconded. Makes me not want to play WvW because it has become nothing more then who can abuse renders the most. Thieves and mesmers is all I am seeing now in large scale battles.

Now if you guys would seriously do something about mesmer portals. Limit them or remove them from WvW please! People are still abusing them in conjunction with the rendering/culling issues.

WvW is so much fun until a zerg of 30+ players don’t even appear til after you die

You cannot be serious :<

I dont get why this was moved to a low traffic forum

Please continue with suggestions or agreements/disagreements about precursor.

I rather they added a recipe via the gem store then to give some exploiter 300g

Why don’t you guys add a vendor where you can get them from? Make it account bound too so the people cornering the market can still do it if they want. To keep it hard to obtain or rare, make it require a gift of exploration or something to buy one of these account bound precursors.

Now problem is solved, customers are happy with an alternative to TP buying a precursor.

yet they were suppose to end at the start of October

Now unless 3 large euro guilds come onto my server(dragonbrand) we are now going to lose to one of our arch rivals based purely on transfer abuse. We have a really great server too and its a shame that blackgate simply got lucky with the transfers.

well, must be nice that sheer luck of 3 euro guilds transferring to blackgate to carry them out of the loss they had. Euro guilds dont want competition else they would of spread out among the 3 servers instead of merging on just 1. Real sportsman of you guys. Least it was fun while it lasted and it was still worth beating the tar out of blackgate til the fight got rigged

So we can all agree that this is the way to nerf mesmer portal?

Least we know tacsym will zerg the forums too. Eurlin, don’t worry, there are big plays being done server wide from the other top guilds

Can’t wait for next weeks matchup after we crush Blackgate down a tier.

Hate to break it to you, but there are far more many leaders/factors on who is leading us to victory. Tacsym is a large guild, sure, but the leadership is very lacking in terms of intelligence.

People chime about organization this and that, so why not cap the portals or add a cast time? You will still need to be organized either way. You know kitten well its in need of a nerf and thats why exploiters defend it so heavily.

DB player from day one. If we could somehow obliterate blackgate to the point of spawn camping them, we(my guild) surely would. We despise you guys

No one else thinks mesmers portal needs a counter?

Portals are the problem though, if the mesmer stealths into a heavily sieged area they can INSTANTLY drop a portal to allow a near infinite force to suicide onto the siege for no drawback. There IS no counter to instant portal. They nerfed instantly building siege and they need to nerf instant portal. Needs a cast time so it can be countered like any other moves in the game.

Sorry, I forgot not everyone realizes portals need a nerf.

Its for their portal. There should be a cast time on the 2nd portal.

NOW we have a counter.

You did it for siege(siege use to be instant build and you added a cast time)

Mesmer portal #2 needs to be counterable.

http://redd.it/10inch reddit link too! help a guy out

Hi, I really love this game since the beta events, where I had the commander book. Since then between loans, donations, etc we have raised 62g. I am desperate and hoping you enjoy any parts of the stream today.

I hope some people will help myself and the guild Hemlock Society through donations. Expect to see some cool moments as I roam WvW. Even silver donations help greatly. Share this stream if you can as well, more viewers= more chances someone will enjoy an aspect of today and donate.

Greatly appreciated either way!

Instead of a timer based system(that once a server is ahead, they win basically) why not have victory points?

Let me explain it clearer: keep the timer and bonuses that are currently in game as they are.

Now add: daily victory: The server that holds the most land at 7:00 central(achievement reset time) is awarded a Major victory point.

At anytime a server controls 100% of the map for 15 minutes, the worlds reset and they gain a minor victory point.

Now heres the key reason to do this: the players really love a fresh WvW, there is a surge of play for those grayed out locations or freshly spawned keeps. This would keep the losing teams still interested in WvW because even if you lose critically, you can have a chance to win the week through the collection of Major victory or minor victories. A major victory is worth say, 10 points and a minor worth 3. This way night capping teams can still lose essentially when the prime time action is going on. Imagine how nail biting the results will be every reset time!

I really hope arena.net will comment on this and I hope the community will interjection and keep this active!

Edit: to entice players to go for 100% instead of 99% to avoid reset, you could award a bonus 1000 points towards the buffs given by the current system.

The anti farm codes set in game should never apply to players. I think adding this would really revitalize smaller skirmishes into WvW and help combat the “run around in a mass zerg” where everyone feels less.

Killing a player should always reward loot with the chance of rares/greens like any other mobs based on the killed players level.

Camping a less traveled road would actually be somewhat rewarding then.

tell me about it :/

The only thing that makes me hate the game is the anti farm code. Wish they would least show a debuff or something. Its like my method of making gold is invalid but those with a knack for TP/AH get to ride scott free. A guy on my server made over 400g before he divulged his secret via twitch.tv

What are the rules against this? really sick of trying to farm 100g for commander book and just don’t have the mindset to play the TP and flip things all day.

Honestly, a real lame oversight to have anti farm codes but not anti TP flipping codes

Anyone trust worthy want to take my 30g and turn it into 100g+?

Really, can you guys do something about it? Rounded up its currently $5 for every 1g you want through gems.

We are still recruiting and we had a great WvW day today on Saturady, September 22nd!

Here here, brother! You know why dragonbrand is so good? Because the hardcore people didn’t just puss out and transfer off when it got tough for us. We learned how to fight 3v1 ratios when we were dominated by other servers. I really hope the people who server swap transfer off again soon though, queue times for guild members really sucks.

they can still see player activites(arena net can see actual data)

if a server has a concurrent player base of say, 600 at night across the 4 maps, they should match them up against other servers with similar night time activity.

right now, its only factoring in points generated, which can be artificially inflated by night time crews.

“unofficial” aussie servers still have american players during the day is the problem.

It is a player problem. A lot of night time crews per-arranged to end up on 1-2 servers so they WOULDN’T have to face each other.

“Unofficial aussie server” “Alliances with EURO guilds to hold our stuff at night”

110% player problem. Prime time its all going the way it was meant to be played across the average servers. If they match up servers based on NIGHT TIME activity, we’ll see some great WvW. Also when they stop free transfers.

because if you matched servers based on night time activity, they’d have to play the game the same way we do? you know? against players?

night time capping is bogus, because genghis khan didn’t fight aussies and his army didn’t disappear when they went to sleep.

Actually, our 5 man fought a group of 8 from the same guild. None of our guys died.

But moving on to the point of the thread: all is fair in love and war. TC wanted to get cute with siege, so we showed them we can play that game.

Our night time crew doesn’t really exist, I worry for DB having to face night time crew servers. We just happened to really beat yas down one day during the late afternoon and we held on ever since.

its far easier to defend a fully upgraded tower/keep that had 6 hours of free supply from the camps.

At the end of the day, night time crews should fight other night time crews. Yes, eventually the stronger daytime crew can put a dent or even pull ahead, but a free take over at night because of a geographic position on the planet is not cool.

Why are night time crews afraid of a fair match?

PvP happens in a PvP area.

Will NEVER give you easy access to jump puzzle as long as I live!

Cept during the day time, we have enemy day time crew too? Its not a problem since we hold or even own the map during the day on average. Night time crews should fight other night time crews, not zerg NPCS to win the map.

I am not going to make a fancy post, because I feel that the guild is a great sell in of itself. Hemlock Society has been doing well on Dragonbrand and is interested in cross server players before the free transfer period ends this month.

We have Art of War level 5, Politics 3, Economy 3, Architect 2. We use Siege, buffs, and coordination often. Have guild bank, 10% permanent MF buff(guild only), guild bank, etc.

We use vent.

We do all aspects of the game, with an extreme heavy focus on WvW.

We’d like more hardcore players who enjoy WvW and believe in a fun atmosphere for being in a guild. Old school gaming mentality that your guild is as much a part of you as you are a part of it.

While we have a large membership atm(95) the most active/hardcore members are average of 30 people. I want this number to be around 50ish for WvW. Hemlock Society will not be a zerg guild and will eventually cull the people who represent other guilds more often then our own.

Send in game mail requests to Soutalgon for more information or interest in joining.

P.S. definitely interested in a day trader/economy loving player as well to help invest guild funds to generate more gold. Benefits are a cut of guild proceeds.

P.P.S. We do in guild events where members can win 5g!

and I’m telling you from experience that our night crew is abysmally small compared to any of the servers with real night crews. Even during prime time, TC/MAG players have been less then a challenge when Hemlock Society is roaming as a 5 man group and taking down 10+ enemy at a time.

Its getting old that euros/aussies are just taking advantage of the night time. :P

We don’t have the night time coverage the biggest servers have. TC and Maguuma are just far weaker the most servers. I have been on Dragonbrand since day 1, never transferred. Trust me when I say DB is not the best server(currently) and we definitely do not have 24/7 coverage as you are led to believe. TC/Mag are just so demoralized they dont queue, dont have the numbers or dedication to win and use inferior tactics. BTW, the whole siege in the puzzle area? ya, TC started that first.

You want to talk about 24/7 night time coverage? Look to blackgate and the other top servers.

and by reset at a certain time, like the dailies reset at 7:00 p.m. central time. Please make them hard reset too :/

Or at least make it known that you can’t access the chest. Did EB puzzle and at the end of all that work was a chest I couldn’t even loot…Argh.
