Guild Wars 2

Hi
Im running OP’s build and currently slotted SotP + WHaO + Resounding timbre(for less cooldown on shout). Would resounding timbre work better then Go For The Eyes since timbre works better with shouts? or is Go for the eyes a must have? Im talking about general wvw roaming and ocational zerging.

Thanks in advance =)

This is nothing new mate, I belive there are 10+ other builds posted that are exactly the same, reason being that this build is one of the 2 builds that actualy semi-works and not a totaly trainwreck.

Also the stat bonus diffrens for gear between ascended and exotic is like 5%, trinkets and weapons are diffrent story.

Thanks for posting tho +1

I see a problem with condis not ranger here. And the quality of players your going against.

lol. /thread.

Its all about condi’s this patch.

So far the only 2 builds proven to work is condi trapper and a fury spam build.
Compared to other classes even those 2 semi-working builds are bottom tier builds at best.

Even after all that ‘’we listun to tuh cummunity’’ crap they gave rangers from last year. this patch ended up just being a nerf in more ways then one. You should check out thief/mesmer and warriors tho, i hear their having fun atleast.

hahaha i knew this was coming, so i created a warrior. A-nets favorite class. You should have done it too. They basicly finnaly put down my previous main class. The ranger used to be half dead, but now they finnaly put it out of its misery. Its now a unplayable class with only 2 semi-viable builds and which will btw will eventualy be useless when HoT and new skills are added.

New main: Warrior
Future main: Revenant

Hang glider is one of the features im most excited about in the upcoming expansion. I would love more information about it. I played both Aion and ArcheAge and the only redeeming part of both games were actualy the Wings/gliders. Other then that both games are mediocre.

What I fear about gw2 version of the gliders are:

-Gliders are consumable items like the teleport gun you can buy in timberline falls for couple of coppers. I remember buying 100 of them and ended up rarely using it. I dont want to buy 250 gliders sitting in my inventory. I rather it be a skill/item with its own item slot

-Gliders are only items that are found in high places. Like diving googles. Which mean can only be used in those specific areas for a short time. Totaly ruins the ‘’new method for exploration’’

-Gliders can only be used in the new maps that are released with the expansion. Can not be used in previously released/existing maps. This will be a massive let down. I want to be able to use my glider in every map and explore the kitten out of tyria with it. Sure they can put a ‘’No fly zone’’ or ‘’anti-aircraft’’ in the jumping puzzle areas/guild puzzle caves so that people cant easy mode jumping puzzles. But other then that I wish to be able to use glider to my hearts content without restrictions.

Giving us gliders without restrictions like ArcheAge/Aion would make gw2 one of the must play mmos of our time. Just SAIYAN

Palimow.6342:

Ah yes! I too love those Teq or Wurm zergs! They just run in and pwn face and are on to the next thing….oh wait….

Teq 2.0.. hard? HAHAHAHAHAHA. I did teq on a overflow with only 2 commanders, no organization. I kitten you not the only said thing was ‘’Dont get killed’’. People dont even need TS for teq its nerfed and overflows can do it with 7minutes left over. It was a pure zerg fest people running everywhere and kitten. Just a small group stacking.

Oh and wurm? wait a few weeks. Once the slow people understand the tactics and once anet nerfs the wurm to cater to your casual needs it will be just like teq 2.0, zerg and achieve. Ive allready done wurm anyways, its not hard at all. If you really think teq and wurm is hard then I have bad news for you. Just because you cant solo teq it dosent make it hard.

Palimow.6342:

On a side note, you say a lot of people quit because gw2 doesn’t suit their “dedicated play style.” Well guess what, a lot of people started playing gw2 because the can play when/how long/how they want without feeling the need to be “dedicated” just to keep up with things. There’s always two sides to a coin.

Oh? How is that casual style working out for you? Did you keep up with all the LS content before they got removed? Did you finish all your achievement chores? How about that quality content huh? Roughly 2~ hours worth of tank and spank content, click F to get achievement, here is ur reward a helmet skin, buy the new stuff from gem store, crazy lunatic edgy stronk NPC protoganist character that everyone can relate to.
Having fun doing 5 achievements for your daily? Did you log in everyday to get your ascended set? I bet you were one of those who sat around LA for hours. I bet this is your first mmo too. This game is getting worse and even the casuals are starting to see it because its no longer fresh nor interesting.

Give the new casuals some time, eventualy they will realize it wasnt ment for them.

ProtoGunner.4953:

I observerd GW2 since the announcement in 2007 (I think) and read every bit about it, I played the beta and finally the release. It was easily my most expected game in my now 25-year old gaming history.

After release I was pretty excited. And now I am extremely disappointed. If I knew what they would do with this game (Gem store driven, casual zergfest content with shallow story, no expansion until now, bad balancing, lackluster PvP, a kittenload of bugs – sometimes embarassing and in the game since betas) I wouldn’t believe it.

Now we are here and I play form time to time and hope that there is the moment when they announce CONTENT, I mean CONTENT like UW or FoW or Urgoz’s Warren, DoA, Factions, Elona for kittens sake! What do they think? After soon 2 years they added exactly one zone and one special-dungeon.

What I did expect they would’ve released after 2 years: a campaign, a couple of additional maps, 2-3 dungeons and or elite dungeons for hard core players, raids, exploration of other parts of Tyria including Cantha or Elona, introduction of new races, places, towns etc etc. As usually expected form MMOs. But no, my most beloved GW2 didn’t do anything… I am so utterly disappointend you can’t imagine. And I am at the point where I am not sure whether I want to continue this game if they keep up this kind of crappy ‘content’.

This soo fudging much..

Where is my hardcore content? Where is my challenge? I jumped in to this game dedicated and for the purposes of being a hardcore player. Now look at me! The biggest challenge I have now is which dailys i should finish first. Which colour I should choose for my shoes. This games lacks content, challenge and ‘’high risk, high reward’’ stuff. Almost everything in gw2 can be achieved with a zerg, almost every dungeon can be soloed by 1 well geared player(see dungeon path sellers in LFG-tool).

Regardless to say i too am highly disapointed, i dont even know why i even bother posting on forums anymore. So much time wasted on a game that ended up not being worth it. Cant wait for ArcheAge to come out, the russian server OBT was awesome. Dem challenges.

lordkrall.7241:

Ah yes, how dare they implement stuff people have been shouting about since release?
The fact that they are implementing stuff to make it closer to GW1 (mega-server) should make you happy.

But I suppose people will always complain, no matter what.

Overly hyped, should have been implemented with launch. Will be disapointing. Nobody really shouted about ‘’mega-servers’’ or the other useless stuff.
1year and 7 months after release where is the so much wanted expansion?
1year and 7 months after release where is a single piece of meaningfull content?
1year and 7 month after release Tyria is still almost exactly the same as it was during launch(aside from the LOLdestruction of LA)
Nothing has changed and gw2 is now on life support. With so many new exciting games coming this year oh man guess whos gonna stop doing his dailys

I See No Tomorrow.7302:

The update coming out on April 15th is huge. There’s no reason to deny it; it is a huge update. You can certainly protest and say that this update does not fix everything wrong with the game, and you’d be right. It doesn’t. But they also never said that it did fix everything wrong with the game.

Huge lol. Some QoL, some new stuff that was supposed to be in the game with the launch and some time wasting stuff that no hardcore / dedicated player cares for.
Clearly you do not know what a huge update is, but then again it is huge by guild wars 2 standars. Every other mmo is making fun of guild wars 2 now.

I See No Tomorrow.7302:

Besides, these updates are fantastic and I am personally happy about having countless dyes on every character in addition to being able to use an account wardrobe and new traits (not to mention the social benefits from the megaserver system). There are all kinds of players and no single kind of player is a problem, except those that believe that their issues are more important than every other player’s issues. What we need to do is appreciate that a wide variety of people play this game and they all want different things from it, and Anet is doing their best to make GW2 a fantastic game over time. As I said, no MMO is ever finished.

I hope you’re being sarcastic, this update is insulting. ArenaNet has only been catering casuals and non-dedicated players. There is nothing in this game that suits a dedicate or a hardcore player, nothing is actualy hard, nothing requires tactics everything can be achieved by the power of zerging. I can tell you there are alot of people who quit because gw2 dont suit their dedicated playstyle.

Also arenanet has given up on gw1 further production. Gw1 is now a timeless and unchanging mmo basicly its a grave yard with grave stones where you can go and do remember stuff from 2006+

So you guys are removing cost from repairing John Smith, thats great now noobs and casuals can die as many times as they want without worrying about their repairing bill. Personally i couldn’t care less because repairing armor never really bothered me it wasn’t much anyway. If anything it made me want to not die which resulted in me playing better and learning how to dodge/avoid cleaves and boss attacks. Now I dont even need to dodge I’ll just eat that kitten and not worry about loosing 3silver.

Anyway away with that.
How about this

Listen

Removing cost from waypoints. Seriously listen.
Ive been wanting to explore the wast world of Tyria, but I could never afford the silver to use waypoints. Im sure many new players, casuals and nublets feel the same. Oh so we can explore the world of tyria without worrying about repair cost? W-well how about waypoints? T-they are expensive too they prevent me from exploring the game. The Asura has allready amassed enough gold. Pander to the casuals and explorer some more and give them free waypointing.. Its a great way to avoid gold sink!! STABULE ECONUMUY MANY GOLD TO PLEBIANS

Forzani.2584:

So much angst after 1 of 5 new traits is announced. We don’t know what the other traits are. We don’t know what the other classes are going to get. We haven’t tested this new trait so can’t know how effective it is or isn’t.

For months we have strugled to get some attention to the ranger we have begged anet to fix the ranger and make us on par with the other classes. Finnaly we are heard and it looked like there was some hope, but then half way trough the Ranger CDI we realized anet has no clue about how to fix the ranger and they actualy care very little.
They promised a fix and some decency.

Then they are tryng to fix the longbow arrow being slow problem with a fudging grandmaster trait? It shouldnt even be a trait it should be implemented right in without being a trait. Now we have to use trait points to fix a ’’bug’’? And the trait itself is so bad its insulting. This whole thing is insulting compared to what other classes get.. The ele gets a healing that will make them the most wanted in dungeons and mesmers getting a cooldown increasing skill that is going to be so overpowered that people understood how bad it is by just reading it. Longbow arrows being faster is not going to fix how bad the ranger is. So yes am i mad? Im super mad.

‘’Why must people keep shouting expansion’’

This question has been answered so many times and it is so obvious that it baffles me that people still ask it and dont know why.

In short expansion has 1000% more quality content and huge variety of permanent content that the current LS content cant even be compared too.

LS is just baby-food compared to expansion content which is massive a 1000pound burger with triple fries and milkshake. Had you played any previously released mmos that did expansions you would have known the value of a expansion.

Anet trying to be original and special with their revolutionary ‘’Living story’’ fail to see that it actually isn’t working out. Last time i logged in gw2 was 2-3 days after the last LS update was released. I logged in, played trough the new content in few hours, did my achievements, crafted a little and logged out to play different game.

I just dont have the motivation and the ability to play a game where we are given mindless zerg content every 2 weeks. Zerg content sucks man.

Back to ArcheAge, gliding is fun as hell.

PvX

Guys guys, I just got a brilliant idea for a elite skill that possibly could revolutionize solo spvp, solo wvw roaming and soloing / group play in general!!! I’m not sure if its already suggested.

How about this

Listen.. You listening?

Here it goes

What about an elite skill that allows the ranger to have both pets active and fighting beside you for a short duration?

Say you have chosen the alpine wolf and a drake as your primary pets and you are using the alpine wolf for the moment and then you use the elite skill and your other pet(the drake) pops up and fights beside you together with your alpine wolf for say…. 15~25 seconds.

Using the this elite skill also gives 3seconds of quickness, 10 seconds of fury, 1-2 might and 20 seconds of speed(can be adjusted to not make it to overpowered)
When this elite skill is activated and if your current pet is dead or are at low health it will be revived/healed.

Least i didn’t suggest permastowing or removing pet which is btw my favorite suggestions so far.

Fozzik.1742:

I think what I’ve learned after reading all 39 pages of this discussion…

When ArenaNet asked the community which profession they would like to see fixed/impoved, ArenaNet was really hoping the community would pick an easier one than ranger.

Why couldn’t the community have picked warrior? Anet would have loved to talk about tweaking warrior. Ranger’s too hard.

ArenaNet knows perfectly well (as do we) which profession is the most broken. They were just hoping they could look like they cared without actually having to fix it. If we’d picked a different profession, they could have blamed the next year of continued broken ranger on the community. Too bad we didn’t play along.

Man this… this so hard my head hurts. I thought they really cared at the beginning but after page 20+ it seemed like they just pretended to care

I really sincerly had high hopes for this CDI and the beginning of this CDI felt like there was hope at the end of the tunnel and finnaly the ranger class would get some positive attention and be on par with other classes. But then as i kept reading towards page 20+ i realized the fixes and aditions most wanted for the ranger are now being ignored and will not be discussed. Now there are talks about fixing the pets which will probably not work instead of permastowing. There are so many good ideas here that are not even being consider probably. The issues are so simple yet the struggle is so hard. Time to level that warrior i guess.

Here is my suggestion and its goes for all game modes basicly.

Let me start of by saying i have pretty much only played ranger/hunter(bow) classes in every previous mmo and will probably in future aswell. So far the best ranger class i have played in a mmo was when i was playing Rift online. Why you ask? Simply because of the freedom they gave us to choose exactly how we want to play. Wether it be with a pet or without.

This is how it worked:
We could put our trait points in a pet mastery tree which made strong pets avaible and the playstyle depended highly on pets. Tanking pets became tankier the more points you spent on this tree and dps pets became stronger the same way and this was a popular playstyle in PvE/Dungeons/Raids. Pets was only avaible when you put points in the pet mastery tree.

And then you could put your points in a marksman tree, which focused on the player characters only and not the pet. Which gave us the freedom to play without relying on a pet. The more points you spent on this tree the more you were able to play without having to focus on pet. Your damage, survibility and stats were increased when this tree was used due to not having the pet. This was very popular playstyle in group PvP/Raids and solo pvp, because lets face it the pet is pretty useless in pvp and raids. Afcours as mentioned above pets were not avaible in this tree.

And thats what i would love having in gw2, especially with gw2s combat system this would be a super awesome way to play. Right now if you dont put trait points in beastmastery your character’s dps and survivebility is crippled and if you do put points in beastmastery your character is still crippled due to bad pet AI and precious trait points used on useless traits because the pet is dead 70% of the time.

Why do you think the ranger class sucks compared to the other classes? Anet devs have 0 clue, they have to ask the players on how to fix it. Also Isaiah Cartwright only knows how to play the warrior class thats why warrior is so unfairly overpowered compared to other classes. Warrior class does everything a ranger does just better.

To you and everyone who has expressed appreciation for Taimi in this thread: on behalf of the entire Writing Team, you’re very welcome.

We’re very fond and proud of Taimi—her characterization was the result of a lot of good team effort and collaboration. Special thanks to Debi Derryberry (the voice actor) who really helped bring Taimi to life.

And here’s to whatever the future holds for our progeny prodigy. Cheers!

Now if only you guys could keep that up and prevent us from future Scarlets

For those who sais Elementalist needs help might want to search around a little. Elementalists are at a pretty good spot in PvE and WvW. Not sure about spvp.

I don’t even… Wat…

This is definitely a joke. No one uses ele in pvp. Eles in wvw is literally fire field and meteor, and gets recognition in pve because of abusing one fgs skill against a walled-target?

How on earth is anet going to sift through this?

Ranger and ele are the only classes that need extreme help right now. It really is as simple as that.

My apoligize then, was talking to a real life friend who plays ele as main before making the previous post and he cant stop talking about how good eles are in pve and wvw. Not to mention ive seen some eles making me want to make a ele myself.

1. Ranger
2. Elementalist
2. Necromancer

1. Ranger
2. Necromancer

All those write ‘’1. xclass only’’ and say ‘’i dont care about the rest’’ should be ignored because clearly they only want a boost for their class only.

For those who sais Elementalist needs help might want to search around a little. Elementalists are at a pretty good spot in PvE and WvW. Not sure about spvp.

For the love of god, fix the Ranger. It has become a laughing stock of gw2.

We beat marionette on a seafarer rest overflow just 4-6hours after release. Its not that hard.

siralius.9517:

lordkrall.7241:

Lets not talk for everyone shall we?
I for one prefer the current way of releasing stuff, but I suppose that might have to do with the fact that I can play quite often and thus like to get new stuff more often than once a year.

You also have to keep in mind that an expansion would most likely deliver more or less exactly the same content as the living story, but as a package instead of smaller parts released over time. So the whole argument that it is “boring and predictable” is rather silly, since the expansion would be even more so, seeing as you wouldn’t have the suspense between releases.

Further proof most GW2 players have NEVER played an MMO before. Expansions open up new content such as maps/worlds, skills/traits/abilities, races/classes/professions, dungeons/raids, gear/weps, etc etc. Unless you’re asking a question, please know what you’re talking about before posting on forums… Thanks.

I second siralius, had you played a game that released expansions you would have known that LS cant even compare to it. First of all all the living story content we’ve gotten so far was supposed to be equal amount of content we find in a traditional expansion and clearly that never happend. Second of all traditional expansion content are high quality content that has been polished, tested and debugged, the living story content we get are so bugged its unplayable and has horrible quality. Further more as siralius said content we usealy get in a traditional expansion are exciting and is of such quality its worth the wait and price. Giving us free bugged content thats only temporary dosent equal to expansion and we havent gotten anything that we would usealy see in a expansion.

Since my previous post got deleted because apparently sarcasm inst the right way to criticize, could you please define ‘’an amazing year’’ because if its more temporary content and low quality and short contents its gonna be a major let down, you gonna have to trow us a bone here and re-kindle our love for gw2 because bunch of decent looking mmos are coming out this year and gw2 is on the short list of loosing players.

This is exactly what we wanted and nobody is complaining, I havent yet seen any hate threads. People are actualy Ok with anet spending some time to polish their updates. On the other hand you are kind of stirring up stuff with this thread people might start to create those threads soon.

See its not that it dosent make sense, you can easly make sense of things. Its that they turned scarlet into a edgy mary sue psycho villain that is so smart and strong right of the bat without any decent character development other then a backstory blog post about ‘’Im a rebel I’ll do whatever the hell i want’’. Her being the reason for the thaumanova reactor explosions is fine, i dont even care. But this alliances between totaly diffrent and unrelated races? that dosent make sense! Dredge and flame legion was lame , but I could put up with that. But Nightmare and krait? that felt like anet wrote bunch of race names on pieces papers and put them in hat and randomly picked 2 and slapped a alliance name on it.

Just because it made sense that she was related to the thaumanova reactor dosent redeem the bad writing, bad character development, plot armor and random kitten pull plots and the total destruction its making out of guild wars verse lore.

Had they introduced her at the beginning as decent character who wasnt too powerfull and actualy letting us beat her fair and square instead of she pulling a team rocket ’’WE’LL BE BAAAAAAAACK’’ ‘’ EXPECT UUUUUS’’ ‘’MEOWTH! THAT’S RIGHT!‘’ then maybe a anet could bring her back with a ’’I have trained and honed my skills just to beat you and I have brought 2 races together to ensure your deaths’’ ‘’(a little better backstory afcours)- then the alliances would make sense. Instead what to do get? Alliance for a random reason and ’’later tater’’.

At first I thought Scarlet was funny and I never took it seriously because I didnt even think anet was serious I honestly thought anet was messing with us/joking.. I thought she was just a one time character that we would eventualy kil at the end of Queens Jublee story missions. Boy was I wrong. She kept appearing and disapearing, Team Rocket was better then her. Then I thought maybe I could put up with her, boy was I wrong again!! It just became more and more annoying. A sylvari no more then 26year old allready better then elder asuras at everything.

People who have read enough books or watched anything with a plot and character development can see how mary sue she is and how boring of a character she is.

The very few anetdrones who do like her likes her because Scarlet is ‘’krazy and insane’’ and so cool and EDGY!!!

tl:tr- Scarlet needs to go

props to Elona reach players and commanders, you guys got a b@dass blob. Surprisingly fun fighting a blob thats organized and has a mean meele paintrain.

Also how do you guys manage to contest our keep for so frikken long!? I couldnt find the thief at all around the keep.

Simerja.4813:

yeah nice doubleteaming FROM RIVERSIDE itself WITH RIVERSIDE itself @ sfr borders atm….

fact1 – SFR focuces Piken – check
fact2 – RS profits alot from fact 1 – getting sfr and piken buildings very easy…
fact3 – everything else is nothing but big bullkitten

rs would be stupid³ not using that SFR—> Piken Hate

http://s14.directupload.net/images/131120/xlfkp79o.jpg

Doubleteaming – NO WAY and NEVER – and yes – piken would be 2nd if sfr wouldnt focus em so extremly hard.

Mate, most people dont see the big picture. sfr IS tryng to stomp piken wether it be double teaming or not. Are they helping rs? yes. Do they double team? Yes, but RS dosent know it, RS is double teaming piken with sfr without knowing it because sfr is on a vendetta mission. Do sfr care wether if piken knows they are being double teamed? No, sfr couldnt give a kitten sfr wants piken to know that they are double teaming to prove without VZ backup piken dosent stand a chance against sfr because in the first week match up piken gave sfr alot of smack because sfr ended up in third place.

Also calling it double teaming with RS is a insult to sfr. Sfr is single handly double teaming piken, RS dosent even do shi!it. SFR is feeding RS points and protecting their towers for them, there is actualy no double teaming its just SFR showing of that they can single handedly make piken think they are being double teamed.

Also SFR commanders and pugs are pretty kitten impressive, they wipe organized guild zergs like its nothing.

Made a video of a tower defense on Saturday, props to the SFR commander! We just don’t give up easily :P

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cW4-3jfcLlQ

Yeah, wish your EB commander/blob were as ‘’ enthusiastic’’ and ’’driven’’ perhaps then we could have a decent fight. Everytime we see your EB zergs they either run away as fast as they can, start scattering around and become loot bags then run away or just get wiped in seconds. Today we were purposly farming your EB zerg at piken keep just to see if you ever got tired of dying over and over again.

I dont want to start a fued or a fight, but you need to get your kitten together pikens. Dont you have a commander in EB? over half of the zerg vs zergs against piken were piken players being scattered around everywhere and we had to pick and kil you 1 by 1. It was so emberassing to fight i had to que for a borderland.

Also nice music in the video

sorudo.9054:

could you answer me this, did you zerg and farm while doing the 2 hours?

No zerging, no farming. I just explored the tower, did the chambers while climbing, did the events while climbing the tower, ressed few noobs, killed few interesting looking mobs. I stopped mindlessy zerg farming after the Queen jublee and Scarlet Invasion LS. Dont you tell me farming is fun, if anet wants to appeal to players by adding zerg farming content then their doing it wrong, Ive had enough of running to the same place, killing the same mobs, doing the same event over and over and over and over and over and over again.

Surpsingly the chambers were fun, they were short, but they were many. 9 total and all 9 had diffrent halucinations and elements. After my second chamber on the first floor i couldnt wait to see what the third chamber had in surprise for me. And the story instance at the top floor, it was fun, the Toxic hybrid could be a little more challenging and could have a few more ’’Must’’ evade 1kil attacks and the instance would be even better. But that was all it had to show for after all that hyping up. Few achievements, a mini, a mask and a pretty looking tower that has alot of potential but was ruined by the time pressure. Imagen the possibility if anet put a decent amount of time in it instead of 4weeks. Each floor could be as big as the 3 floors combined. Each floor could have even more chambers and each chambers could have been more and more difficult as you progressed.

In one of my previous mmos i remember they added the same type of content like the nightmare tower only it was a tower’ish tomb with 4 floors, but each floor was massive and each floor had its own theme with its own special bosses. Took us 1week to get past the first floor and we were rewarded for progressing. The content became more difficult in each floor and the last floor offered the biggest boss a public raid boss like Tequatl.. Anyway what im tryng to say is that there is alot of potential and good ideas that is going to waste because of time pressure and temporary content.

The previous LS content took me less 2hours to finish including the achievements
The latest LS content took me around 2 hours to finish. Who knew you could actualy finish everything by climbing the tower once? Am I satisfied? No afcours not, as a dedicated player LS content is emberassing its like you order a burger and you are promissed a full burger but its only 1 bite and im still hungry. We were promissed that LS would deliver as much content as a expansion would so far the content put out are taken out and the time pressure sinks the quality of the content by alot. Anet gonna have to step it up or they gonna loose players to EQN, TESO, Wildstar and the next gen consoles.

Hands down SFR commanders / blobs and are actualy better then VS and Piken, not tryng to start a fight, but sfr blobs were wiping vz and piken blobs twice bigger, at the same time vz was getting farmed in they borderland north camp. One SFR commander defended sfr garri while getting attack by both vs and piken at the same time. Despite SFR getting double teamed SFR is still keeping it together and arent that far behind in points (lets not deny it, its been admitted that SFR is getting double teamed).

Does Anet really listen to the community tho? People mentioned that living story isnt working:
*Its to temporary
*The quality of the content is very low due pressure from rushed schedule on release
*Tha amount of content given isnt exactly enjoyable because every update is ‘’New achievement chores, go there, click F, rinse repeat’’
*The story is poorly written

I got in to gw2 with alot of hopes during headstart. But now I just ride along because nothing else interests me. The community wanted a expansion, they said no, they said living story would be equal to expansion, but so far every content given is being taken out so it dosent really equal to an expansion, expansion are usealy permanent and quality work. We were promised permanent content, all we got was teq and a new dungeon path in which they removed a diffrent path to implement it. They claim to listen to the community, but it dosent show yet. Still there is hope i guess 2014 is close, i really want to know what they have planned for us in the first half of 2014.

Did anyone else notice that the living story content is shrinking? last 3 weeks the living story content has been even smaller then before. Teq 2.0 was just teq + wvw, twilight assault was just 1 dungeon path. I thought anet was gonna make the quantity and quality of the living story better, the quantity is getting lesser and the quality is bad as allways. Its starting to disapoint even more.

Anyway, yay for an expansion

Risen Thrall- ‘’ Everyone, COME ’’ – ‘’Death, good’’ ANYDAY over kittenty scarlet childish laugh and ‘’ OHH YOU BEAT ME I WILL NOW GIVE UP AND BE A BETTER PERSON’’ made me cringe to death. Its so basic and kittenty i had to turn of the sound.

Scarlet is horrible and you know she is horrible. A sylvari no more then 20 year old and is smarter then older asuras? HAH Maximum Mary sue. Go research guild wars lore and read some fantasy novels and you’ll quickly realize how bad Scarlet is written. Atleast the other villains have some flaws and not protected by plot armor. God threads like this just gonna encourage anet to write even more bad lore.

Stop droning and take a stand. Dont just accept bad writing, guild wars 1 had awesome lore and slowly that awesome lore is fading in to the toilet because drones and encouraging it.

All the SFR people claiming they are not happy with the bandwagon express and zerg trains 24/7 are all actualy secretly enjoying this!!

And Arenanet is not going to do anything about it.

I am happy, so your afirmation is an lie
And what kind of actions do you espect from A-net ?
- SFR players will drop loot as champions in Orr
- Borderlands are closed betwen 24:00 – 19:00 (for sfr only)
- transfers to sfr will now cost 10.000 gems, and there are free to Desolation (OK with this)
- PvDor is now illegal ( that would hurt )
- new sigil /food / minor trait ( +20 % damage to SFR players – 20% from SFR players)

I dont expect anet to do anything, the damage is allready done. Its not only SFR thats having this problem. The announcement for the WvWvW Leguea + rewards created a mass panic ending up in certain servers getting massive transferes and other servers having their WvW population reduced, thus making servers like desolation who are in the top 9 end up in the same match-ups as servers in the same ranking with much less population and fighting a server who almost had their population double which resulted in mass outnumbering. You see what im getting at? It used to be 1:1:1 during prime times and evenings, now its 3:1:1 during prime time and evening and 2:1:1 after midnight. I dont expect anything special, i dont expect to get special buffs, I dont expect SFR to lay down and let us stick it to them, but i’ll tell you what i expected. I expected a damage controll, I expected perhaps anet considering the effects of the announcement, perhaps they could close the transferes allowed to a server after certain amount of transfere each week. Perhaps they could even merge the extreamly low populated server that was caused by this issue together. But nope.

See im not whining about SFR or SFR being SUUUPER OP now, im simply whining about anet not acknowledging this issue, people have created threads about their server being close to dying and WvW have become impossible to enjoy for them now because everywhere they go they are simply getting stomped by the enemy world. On top of that the dominating world will have all the orbs making them even more overpowered resulting in maximum domination. When I post about SFR being a top dawg now i dont mean that all SFR players are the reason for this mess and they all should be banned have their homes flooded with kitten, NO what im tryng to say is that in this weeks match-up SFR’s population and domination have made it hard for WvW interested players to enjoy WvW like we did 4 weeks ago. Also all this drama is the effect of the announcement bandwagon, guild are leaving their servers to join the bandwagon and making people annoyed.

Junkpile.7439:

Why some of these good GvG guild seems to be kind of useless in www?

cos this week has been one of the worst match-ups I’ve seen, usually SFR have some good small guild groups such as VG, CoN and Opt but only once or twice have I seen a group of SFR with less than 35 this week even in the morning.

All the SFR people claiming they are not happy with the bandwagon express and zerg trains 24/7 are all actualy secretly enjoying this!!

And Arenanet is not going to do anything about it.

Grok.6714:

Oh wow, this thread started out as a common ’ lol sfr blobs ’ but evolved into something beautiful to behold.

Like a worm turning into the proverbial butterfly…

Sadly enough the SFR bandwagon blob became unbearable and people stoppet doing WvW so nobody cared about it after a while and decided to wait and see how things would turn out in the next couple of weeks. But then a selfproclaimed best WvW guild on Deso decided to jump the reward bandwagon after taking pugs and things got stirred up. Feelings hurt, backstabs, betreyals, drama, it simply became a hispanic day time ’’telemundo’’ drama show.

Next time on Drama Wars- Will Seafarer rest bandwagon EVER STOP, will the warriors of Desolation take back their glory! Will Kodash ever get a break from this nonsense! Find it out tmr

TheUltimateBackStabber.4863:

DVG leaving for real? Can’t be o.o

Did they leave for the muh legue rewards? Or because of something else? It sounds stupid to move a whole guild because of couple lame rewards

I bet when anet releases the reward list from the league the bandwagon transferes gonna realize that the rewards werent worth it. So far the rumors are that the reward is just some pvp finishers, not including the meta achievement reward. But its just rumors

Holm.7058:

I feel like I need to clarify for everyone non-sfr

We have not recruited. Guilds that were none primetime was always welcome/encouraged to play with us. We did not put up a LFG poster in all major cities in the world.

Perhaps you didnt recruit anyone, but the bandwagon express certainly did make several stops at SFR, the sudden maximum domination is almost embarassing. You cant possibly belive that all of the sudden every SFR player just started doing WvW, not even VS does this. Doing WvW as Desolation player in this weeks match-ups is pointless- I join a borderland, roam with a small group / zerg, get stomped by outnumbering SFR zergs and then people looses spirit and leaves, making it harder to actualy be able to stand against you guys. Once we got dominated it was almost impossible to stop the SFR zerg train. On top of that you guys dont even give us a breathing room to let us cap back / regain some moral.

All abord the bandwagon zerg train!! Destination: never

I dont envy you guys tho, the que times are probably horrible over at SFR

Soooo is this how wvw allways going to be like from now on? Everyone transferring to other servers? The sudden domination of SFR kind of killed the spirit of Desolation WvW’ers, EB or borderlands are hardly active right now from Desolation side, I keep getting ganked by SFR zergs everywhere i go. Guess its time to jump the bandwagon

So Dragons are good guys now? And we killed one? But it didnt really die? What? So since dragons are good guys now, we wont kil anymore from now on?

TachyonicRage.4936:

After all Elders are defeated Scarlet will be the final villain, Calling it.

God i frikken hope not. ‘’Mary sue’’ Scarlet is really a bad lore. No guild wars lore fans really liked her because of poor writing. It would suck if she suddenly became a big deal like the dragons and became a part of the history. Let her stay a shi’tty side story character.

Other Misc. fixes:
Tab Targeting Improvements

• Now prioritizes Champs/Legendary, then players/clones, then everything else

First of why the clones? I dont like targeting clones

Second of all: when you tab pvp does it mean that I will target players first then if you tab again it will target clones?

Third and last: Can we have the option to choose to target clones in the options window? I’d like to decheck tab targeting clones.

Thanks
