WvW queues and honorable realm defenders

So dumb luck should reward people with a privilege over others?

Man, that’s a bit like the precursors. Never thought I would see a pro-RNG post here.

Explain to me how this is pro-rng? Its about not just jumping to whatever server is doing well and actually defending the place you chose as your home.

We where down in the kittenter for the longest time, read: buttom ranked server – but through teamwork we worked our way up. Then a lot of realmjumpers joined us as we where doing well and now all of us are stuck in queues, how is this fair for those of us who stuck through the bad times?

So .. WvW queues, lately its been up to 45m-1hour to get in and defend or borderlands, wich is just downright stupid. Personale I blame the realm transfer system wich makes people just jump to whatever realm is currently doing well for “easy” xp/wvwxp/loots whatever.

With the wvw season coming up I think its about kitten time you reward those of us that has stuck with the same realm since early access(launch will prolly do aswell), through the ups and downs, and made the realm what it is today. I think its only fair that those people get rewarded with some kind of queue priority over people just jumping from realm to realm to benefit from everyone elses “work”.

Having to sit and wait for up to an hour to be able to play the game just wont keep doing it for me, and yes all I do is wvw so its bloody kitten frustrating.

Just my 2cents.

I am getting sick and tired of putting in effort in WvW and getting no reward.

I help damage gates/walls
I help kill guards
I help kill lords/supervisors AND get reward for killing them
I stand in the rediculus circle of win in the end

I just dont get ANY kitten reward and no count towards daily

Doesnt happend every time, but happend at least 10+ times in the last week and with the repair bills racking up laike mad in WvW, continous loosing 10’ish gold for not getting keep rewards is punishing.
Now, this bug has been going on for at least a year in WvW, I know becourse last september I bug reported it myself.

You continuously push out bi-weekly rubbish pve “events” yet cant be bothered to fix ongoing bugs in WvW and its getting annoying.

I would have posted this in the WvW forum, but I am quite sure noone reads them so it would just be wasted.

WvW has been suffering from this since month 1, nothing is being done about it, becourse they could care less about wvw apperantly. Entering Stonemist in a zerg, and pressing the heal button for 40-50 sekunds without anything happening only to realise you’ve been dead for 30 sekunds. Good times.

“Drops randomly from all foes in the Fractals of the Mists dungeon. "

So I can just run level 1 fractal over and over until it randomly drops I guess. Hope that is doable as a full glass canon thief.

Disclaimer: I run fulltime WvW, I dislike pve instances and stay away from it if at all possible.

However, since we apperantly arent getting equal WvW gear I am trying to figure out how much it would take to get myself a -quiver of swift flight-

As far as I can figure out its made in the mystic forge using this formula:

250 Powerful Blood

50 Glob of Ectoplasm

240 Philosopher’s Stone

1 Vial of Mists Essence

So I guess the question is how do I obtain the 1 Vial of Mists Essence?

queue's and realm transfers

in WvW

Posted by: Taargkrizzt.5641

Taargkrizzt.5641

Realms transfers is getting way out of hand. When a realm starts winning in WvW entire guilds just transfer to it to reap the benefits, and the people who have been there the entire time, fighting hard for the realm gets stuck in long queue’s.

Its time to give people who stayed on the same server since launch higher queue priority.

Sound beeping, then game crash in mass WvW situations.

Hello, am looking for a bit of advice on how to improve my chance of getting my greedy little paws on the lovers bow http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/The_Lover
First of all, I am a pure wvwvwvw’er and the wiki states : "Can be obtained from any Dungeon chest or Champion chest. ". Guess that means no bow for you becourse wvwvwvw’er dont deserve items.

Since i am running around with less than a gold to my name, yeah constant repairs and siege does that to you, I have 0 chance of getting it on the trade station.

Been trying to squize in a few dragon runs over the last week or so, around 25-30 kills, but all I get from that is blue and an occational green drop.

Is the dragons really the only way for people that dont want to do boring pve instances over and over and over (not grindy mind you) and over again?

This issue has been bug reportet for at least a month but nothing is being done to adress it.
Like meantioned, lowering the sound quality one ot two notches from max setting will stop it from happening.

I’ve had this happend to me for at least a month in WvWvW. Bug reportet etc but nothing is being done about it.
Easy fix is in sound options, turn the quality slider down from max setting, at least that sortet this problem fro me.

Decided to test running with another character in WvWvW and after a few hours with a necromancer, the sound bug did not happen. I logged my main, thief, back in, jumped to WvWvW and after a few minutes the sound issues appeared.

Apperantly the sound bug is directly tied to the thief class, most likely some of the shortbow skills or hide in shadows.

UPDATE: after a few(3-4) hours of very, very boring pve I can now confirm that this sound bug did in fact NOT happen once for me.
Conclusion must be that this is tied directly to WvWvW wich properbly means it will never get fixed since WvWvW gets about zero attention from the developers :/

Sound drivers are now upgraded to the latest but the problem persists. Tried fiddling with all the sound sliders ingame. and all the sounds work, some of them, mostly the ambient, just stop playing after anywhere from 30seks to a few minutes. Moving sound quality makes them work again for a little while.

Hope this is an issue with the last patch becourse the game is just not the same w/o the great ambient sounds.

when did you last update your audio drivers?

I am using an onboard soundcard, Realtek Hd audio, and acording to the device manager the driver is from 29-01-2010. However, its been working fine up until a few days ago. And the problem only appears in GW2 and like I said, I can get full sound back by using the ingame quality slider.
Should I try updating the driver from something like:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

Or is it update/game related?

Yes, i am not tech sawie :/

For the last few days, possibly since last patch, my enviromental effects have been stopping randomly. Turning the volume on it does nothing but if I log out and back in its working again, at least for a while.

Not sure if its tied to WvWvW somehow since its all I am doing.

Not entirely sure its just the enviromental effects either, what I notice is, background ambient sounds (birds, wind etc), sounds like the pickaxe hitting ore you’re mining but the rest of the mining sounds are there, catapults revinding sound is gone but the firing sound is still there.

EDIT: changing the sound quality on the slider temporarely get all the sound effects back, but after 30s-2 mins they dissapear again.

Not getting credit for WvW events.

Taargkrizzt.5641

Just wondering if anyone else is not getting credit (karma/money) some of the time when participating in WvW events?
Only started happening fairly recently to me but even after hitting gate/guards/enemies at tower/keep takes and standing in the capture points at the end, sometimes there is no reward.

Its not like its the end of the world, not doing WvW for the rewards anyways, but when doing WvW exclusively its hard enough as it is to get gold for repairs/gear upgrades/siege when missing on event rewards aswell.
