Guild Wars 2

Just now I closed 7 portals within the first 10 minutes. 6 gold, 1 bronze. No achievement. This is my 5th try, and it still didn’t trigger.
Edit: I can’t recall ever having the buff.

So how would you feel if people didnt res you ? That would put a dent in your oh so important timetable. Seriously, it amazes me how selfish people are.

You still don’t get it, do you? The Gauntlet is a boss rush mode. It is single-player content. I wish to play it at my own leisure, without queues (or a paywall for that matter). An extra 5 minutes may not seem much to you, but when you’ve been playing for 1-2 hours, then an extra 30-60 minutes spent waiting is a lot of time.
Imagine this; you want to finish a story instance, but the game forces you to enter a queue because another player is already doing the same story step. I can’t imagine anyone would be okay with this.

Missywink.7162:

How does it make your queue longer. You speak to the Ringmaster and you are placed in a queue. Ressing someone does not place you further back in the queue, you are already in the queue. I have never been knocked down the queue for ressing someone. If this were the case then I think ArenaNet would be getting 100’s of complaints on hte forums.

What’s not to understand? I always look for an empty cage with a partner. When other players join and keep getting ressed, it will only encourage them to stay at the same cage and queue again. It means extra waiting time for me. I have no issue with ressing dead players when I walk past them, but when I’m after the harder achievements it is kittening annoying to wait an extra 1-10 minutes before it’s my turn again.

To me it sounds like you have a “Me, me, me” attitude

I want to decide when I play my single-player content.

I usually don’t ress because I’m after the achievements, and every player I ress makes my queue longer. I’m aware that others may view me as an kitten, but this could have been prevented if the Gauntlet had no deaths, more cages or was instanced. I hope Arenanet learns from this and doesn’t attempt something like the Gauntlet again.

I soloed T4 on a zerker Ranger earlier today, with 1000 treasure left. Sword is your main source of damage, Axe #4 is used to pull the plunderers on the right and Shortbow is your back-up weapon. Use Muddy Terrain and Spike Trap to buy you some extra time. It’s pretty much the same method as shown here , but without the stealth. You can use a Longbow if that’s what you prefer, but the Shortbow daze proved itself to be very useful.

The state of T1 EU is just depressing. I vote for a reset, or at least an adjustment to the scoring system.

I would like to invite devs to play on Deso or SFR to see how bad T1 EU is. We can’t drop tiers, nor do the servers in T2 want to go to T1. We’re not competing to win. We’re competing to lose.

Anet’s questionable decision to allow free transfers to the #1 EU server made guilds that have been with us for a long time (some since launch) leave, or consider leaving. What Dooh said is harsh, but I agree with him. If you don’t wish to contribute, then leave.

What a disappointing update. I still enjoy my Ranger in pvp, but I’d like to join dungeon parties and not feel useless.

I am also experiencing way more lag than usual since one of the Christmas patches. 10-30 second freezes and 2-second skill delay every 2-3 minutes have become a normal occurrence. I never had serious lag issues in GW2 before.
