Guild Wars 2

I’d say give an option to put small icons above enemy heads (something like you see in battlefield 3) with color of their server instead of collumns of text.

This is rad as heck. Amazing sculpting skills!

It wasn’t sculpted by hand but using a 3D printer I believe? Anyway’s great work ! I do a lot of 3d modelling aswell but those printers are extremely expensive ;].. its 20,000 USD =O Jesus!

Anyway, great work ! Really love the model and amazing paint job!

Isnt one of the rumors about the big February update is that WvW loot is being redesigned for support classes so its more lucrative to be one?

Now you got me excited ! :P

They will come. Granted maybe not in abundance… and not sure what PvP rewards your really looking forward to …. for gear and weps you can choose to get it through Karma which easily is obtained through Wv and PvE. More easily in PvE though.
If you haven’t already done it. Try and get into a WvW focused guild. Good ones like the one I am in will be able to show you a deeper side to WvW then you would normally think.
As far as looks… almost anything can be “re skinned” to look like something you have seen before as long as you have it. Better stats of your choosing may be on a not so cool looking wepon…..but that other cooler looking weapon with not so good stats can be swapped as far as looks.
Only points in the game though are the Server points! Everything else is icing. Karma, XP (if your sub 80) you get “honor badges” but honestly once 80 those will come fast and furious to the point your trying to figure out what to do with em all.

Yea I did spend some Karma points on gear already, a really good one! I was also thinking of doing structured PVP with my wife hoping for more tactical play but I guess game system doesn’t want us to join matchmaking as a party which is another let down (I’ve read that it’s only possible in paid torunaments). Anyway, you’ve inspired me to try to enjoy my supportive gameplay style without caring about those pvp rewards, and to build my name not by showing off my K/D rate but by helping my allies =). Hope there are some good helpful guilds on my server like there are on yours =) Thanks nightmunch !

First…. gonna have to re train your brain on the idea of “getting behind”. That’s a traditional mindset that countless players are having a hard time getting around. Guardians are indispensable for support type roles especially if your having to defend and hold a choke point. Being at the front ..or even the back … or not being there can be the difference between success and failure. Like they depend on you, you will also depend on them.

Second…. It’s WvWvW…not BG’s ….. what you did helped your server more then you think it did. In Wv that’s more important then anything. A lot of people putting in effort for bigger goals.

Lastly…. expanding on the first point. Try to break all your original playing habits. This is not like the many or few MMORPG’s you’ve played before. There is no BEST build…. some seem more synergetic, but if it isn’t your play style for that build…guess what…its not the best. You will be at a slight disadvantage in lower levels due to gear stats… ANet tries to help with up leveling you when you get in. However until you get the lvl 80 gear. Your just gonna have to be a bit more tactical. Once there though, your pretty much on equal footing whats left is your choice in gear, traits, sigils etc. and more importantly tactics and understanding how to counter each class will be the difference.

Don’t stress about it.
It’s about fun and competition. Play, learn, have fun and don’t be scared to re do your build to see what works. Re traiting is relatively inexpensive.

Thanks nightmunch!

That’s exactly how I love to play and this is why I chose to be a support. Just wish someday I can somehow earn points to get those neat PvP rewards! I still think Anet should make heals and supportive skills earn you points, just like when you do dmg.

Woah! Now that sucks =/ . I’ve seen so many trailers and dev diaries with them talking about how much teamplay and tactics there is in this game, but all I see is groups of ranged people running around and blasting everything away in a second. That is really disappointing. Maybe it’s not my game afterall =/. Maybe it’s not the best comparison but battlefield 3 game (yea I know) rewards you greatly for being a support. For every heal, revive, suppression etc. you get plenty of points. Should be same here to encourage team play.

Greetings!

In advance I apologise for any typos, I’m using my mobile device. I’ve just bought the game a couple of days ago, mesmerized by all this “be who you want to be ,play like you want to play”thing. Back in the day I’ve been a WoW pvp fanatic so that’s the part I’m most interested in. I love to play as a support since I’m a team player so I jumped in WvW with my lower lvl guardian in full healing/support mode.I did great! I was healing,blocking ,protecting ,reviving etc…felt I did some difference.Problem is after me and my wife left the Wvw she had some glory points and other stuff (some badges or something) while I had nothing despite my great input into the battle . my question is…are protectors like myself rewarded equally or in any way at all in this game? I kinda feel let down since I really enjoy helping but I don’t wanna stay behind. is this why I haven’t seven a single support there just all ranged dps and few assassins ? Please tell me I can get in some ranking or whatever by being a support

JOIN AS PARTY!!!!!

I bought this game for myself and my wife. We were WoW pros in PvP before. It was amazing experience. Planned to do same here but when I’ve learned that you can’t do matchmaking in a party I got very disapointed. I refuse to do PvP untill they add party system. Oh and please add modes with less players so it’s not just DPS galore but more strategic gameplay.

3v3 and 5v5 would be perfect. Anything more than turns into a zerg seek and destroy instead of strategic gameplay. Classes that arent pure DPS lose their purpose in zerg fights. I loved to go 3v3 deathmatch in WoW and fighting really long matches thanks to all the strategies you could work out as a group. In gw2 you can just die in a second when few people target you at once, no time to cooperate… oh yes and if they will be putting deathmatch they NEED to add join as a party.
