Guild Wars 2

Me, I hate PvP .. but WvW is great.. Sure you can die to other players from time to time but come on.. what’s the fun in it if you don’t at least try. Doing a reward track in WvW takes hardly any skill.. just follow the commander around and do what they ask. and for god’s sake join their discord / teamspeak if they ask. No one likes typing out a Novel on what to do. More people on voice chat, everything goes smoothly.. and if you are wondering what class to bring.. can’t go wrong with a guardian.. metabattle has great builds you can work with!

We will be adding a new currency that is similar to Proof of Heroics that will allow you to buy new sigils, runes, recipes, and hero points from PoF.

Awesome, thank you!

One more question, will these be available in skirmish chests, like proofs of heroics?

There will be a new skirmish chest with the new currency in them.

Will that new chest replace the old ones in a retroactive manner?

All skirmish chests earned before PoF launch will contain Proof of Heroics. All skirmish chests earned after will have the new currency.

Are the proof of heroics themselves being retired or are both going to be available in the new chest… also ranking up in WvW, does that provide the new currency or the old?

a serious cape.. okay, but no mario lookalike, we got enough trashy gliders

It needs to have the wind flappy animation

Endless Soul.5178:

Evon Smashmouth.

You mean Smashblade

It would be cool if there was a type of cape from Super Mario World (the yellow one), where if you leaned back it would Bubble Up And of course leaning forward would be the normal animation with your arms tucked to your side.

I’m sure a lot of people would love any type of Cape glider at this point.

From that list it’s missing Black Lion Hunters Board, Advanced Cloth, Advanced Leather and the Oyster Nodes. Would be nice to have these added

I have little over 500 gems, needing to use a gem card in this situation is really dumb imo..

A request needs a reason behind it, for them to even consider making a change like this.

What’s wrong with how it is now?

you can get rewards at the same rate by wasting supply in SMC by repairing a section of the wall every 10 minutes as you can by being the top damage dealer in the main group.

If thats not wrong i dont know what is.

So what you are saying is repairing shouldn’t count towards participation? lol

Also it’s only 5 mins..

So an account that doesn’t own HoT can’t gift a glider skin to someone that owns HoT ?

Can someone explain why..

I think one of the main reasons is that teamspeak has more options built around actual voice options.. like “cc chat” .. however I’m also hearing discord has a similar option, but tbh.. Discord feels bloated.

People were already hating that even though you were in combat with another play, it didn’t count towards participation.. but you want to make that even worse by removing basically the remaining amount of participation they have left?

Gaile Gray.6029:

Several players have asked where the test will take place, in an in-game sense.

The area in which the stress test will take place is the Crystal Desert map that you may previously have visited during our PvE Preview Weekend.

Is this stress test only to test the new map itself, or is it game wide?

I ask because WvW has been getting really bad lag issues with zerg vs. zerg fights.. and ping values jumping up higher, and getting “skill delay” issues. Wasn’t sure if this stress test was to also help with that or not.

He can send in a ticket to request assistance. They will ask for information other then character name that he can try to supply to get his password reset.

You need to LOG IN to send a ticket… which requires a PASSWORD…

Why are you commenting on a 3 year old topic?

I wonder what a majority of them are about..

rapthorne.7345:

OP is likely in the extreme minority. I have every bank tab unlocked and never come close to using all of the space

I’m on the game 16+ hours a day. 10 of those hours into WvW, 6 into farming stuff.

I guess it depends on how long you play each day.. even though you have all tabs unlocked.. yours might not be even close to full cuz you don’t play as long?

Drecien.4508:

Make a personal guild and upgrade the bank.

I already have Treasure Trove before HoT came out.. I can’t get Deep Cave because that requires a level 32 guild.. and that’s not happening with a “personal” guild..

I like my launcher <3

You might be able to contact support and ask if you can get the item for the discounted price as you had clearly bought expansion and gems before the items went up for sale. If the gems took longer than 72 hours to be delivered, I don’t see why they wouldn’t honor it.

Shirlias.8104:

Can you make a screen?
I don’t understand what a player could have inside 14 Bank tabs.

How a player might have used up 14 bank tabs you mean?

Doing a screen shot asks for your account to be targeted for hacks honestly so I wouldn’t ask the anyone for that. But can give you some examples form various players I know or have discussed this with in the past (and granted some of these peeps are packrats):

1-2 tabs toys, collectibles, ingame novelty items, widgets, seasonal items
1-2 tabs Black Lion Chest drop items
1-3 tabs zone booster, zone pots, WvW/PvP pots, ToKs
1 tab – WvW siege, items, materials, tricks/traps
1 tab – food and utilities for various toons/builds if the player play more than 6 toons
1-6 tabs ascended rings, accessories, amulets
1-6 tabs ascended armor and weapons
1-14 tabs materials that don’t fit in maxed collections
1-3 tabs on craftable pre-cursors items and items needed for various stages
1-14 tabs if the player is a trader or specialty item trader
1-3 tabs for items moving between toons or items collected on one toon but need
opened on another, aka farming toons moving items to salvaging toons
1-14 tabs items for preparing for guild hall expansions in PoF
1-14 tabs loot bags awaiting opening for bag changes/future material needs
1 tab zone currencies/keys
1-14 tabs of things that don’t stack that should (example: salvaging kits)

Just some examples to help picture things.

1. Toys, Tonics, Seasonal Stuff (SAB mostly) taking up 1 Tab.
2. Boosters, Revive Orbs, TP To Friends, Single Use Black Lion Items, etc taking up 1 tab.
3. WvW items (Siege including Superior & Guild), food, reward track pots taking up 2 tabs.
4. Black Lion Salvage Kits.. only 25 charges each.. taking up 3 tabs.
5. Champ Bags stored away for as needed material when necessary. Most of my material is reaching cap so opening the bags would just give me mats that would take up even more space in my bank. This is taking up 3 tabs.
6. Ascended Rings, Accessories, Amulets, and Armor for different builds for different characters. Taking up 4 tabs. (am working on Legendary armor via WvW but that’ll take a while).

I mean I “could” get a character slot and put some stuff on it, but that defeats the purpose if having a permanent bank contract to access your belongings.

Also I do own a personal guild, but only have Treasure Trove unlocked, but not Deep Cave as I didn’t have enough time before HoT came out.. and didn’t even realize you could get more space past Treasure Trove until it was too late. However my entire Trove is filled up with ToT bags.

When PoF releases, we will have 5 maps, and who knows those maps could have each of their own type of items and what not. So it’ll be even worse. More tabs are necessary.

Currently right now the Bank Tab cap is 14 including the one you start with.

As PoF is about to come out later on in September.. having only 14 Bank Tabs is not enough. I am already struggling with the stuff I have now with Core + HoT

We need more Bank Tabs.. it would be nice is there was no cap to allow us to get whatever we feel necessary. Why limit us?

So last known date is the 20th of August, but wasn’t sure if there was going to be anymore.. I was expecting maybe a copper fed, or BL Key sale?

So from what I was told it was related to “necro portals” ? Not 100% sure if its more than that.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Perhaps, GM Awesomeness has been extra busy with the inundation of Support Tickets.

Just a thought.

They can’t be the only person that can update it.

“You can expect updates here at least once a week. This page was last updated on 26th July, 2017.”

ahem..

You know if you guys aren’t going to keep it updated why even have it?

Gaile Gray.6029:

Hello,

I merged this thread to make it stand out a little better and to focus attention on this situation so that if others also are experiencing such issues, they can join in.

I’m sorry that you’re having this issue. I wonder, have you tried lowering your Visual Blur setting? That is a specific recommendation from the team, and they feel it may help with this problem.

We’d love to hear from you if this adjustment is effective. Team members who have worked/are working on the mounts will be tracking this feedback!

Well not entirely sure about the motion sickness part, it could be for some players… but I had few issues with mounts. Maybe it’s intentional maybe not, but first off Strafing doesn’t work while on the mount when standing still. Look Behind hotkey doesn’t work while mounted, and first person mode doesn’t work while mounted either.

Oh so fully reach 0%.. I thought it was 15 mins until decay starts.. didn’t know it was until it’s fully dissipated. The notes probably should have been worded a bit better..

• Participation now always takes 15 minutes to fully decay to 0% no matter how much participation you have earned. This means that decaying at an earlier tier is no longer faster than decaying at a later tier.

So I’m at Tier 6 participation, and my timer is capping out at 10 mins.. I thought the change was for 15 mins?

• Participation now always takes 15 minutes to decay no matter how much participation you have earned. This means that decaying at an earlier tier is no longer faster than decaying at a later tier.

I agree, getting tickets after finishing diamond was nice. And if it were left in it would give people that already finished diamond for the week to actually still come back to WvW.

Say someone reached diamond 3 days into the week. Now they have about 4 more days left.. usually in those 4 days you won’t see them in WvW because they know they won’t be earning tickets until the next reset. With repeatable tickets in place, they would still play those 4 remaining days for the week. Otherwise WvW will just feel dead half way through the week like it has been.

It’s already the 2nd of August .. is there going to be an Anniversary Sale this year?

Usually its a new item being sold each day until the end of August?

Fishae.2503:

anyone know when “pre-order” ends? before 22nd Sep? while i want to preorder the ultimate pack right now, my head is telling me try it out next weekend

I believe as long as you purchase before the release date you should be fine.

Reverence.6915:

I’ve been having the same issue against HoD this week. Massive 2-4k ping spikes as soon as we near their zerg.

It’s the same for any server going against another zerg. How do you think I feel when playing thief. and I’m spamming a skill to use, and burn up all my initiate because my skill didn’t go off.

thatNEWguy.8192:

What im getting at is maybe its time to make it only 3 tiers.

While it might sound like a good idea on paper, it’s a bad idea in sense that even with just Tier 1 servers fighting against each other.. there is a problem with skill lag across all servers, so making them even more populated in WvW would make the skill lag even worse.

Haematic.4913:

Here is another video showcasing the lag that is specific to BG —

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzUAfDjvziE

While the video is of BG I can tell you it’s every server with zerg vs. zerg

XenesisII.1540:

Stop using conditions.

XD

What does that have to do with it?

Right now when 2 or more Zerg (or Blobs as some call it) fight each other you end up getting 3-5 seconds of delay between skill use. Making impossible to determine what skill to use next. Is there ANYTHING being done to fix this issue?

Also I do not believe this is related to DDoSing as it only occurs when 2 zerg start fighting each other.

All I want to know is anyone doing something about this?

https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/6qng5g/wvw_skill_lag_please/

Hearing reports from other people on twitch streams they too cannot login on any character parked in Siren’s Landing.

Not sure if this is just a design flaw, or an actual bug.. but if you salvage enough items.. over time you’ll get fps lag until you relog.

What in the ####ing #### has ANet done to deserve these attacks? This is so not cool on so many levels. I can think of a gazillion other companies that are more deserving of this than them.

GW2 isn’t the only game using those servers.

It’s an attack on NCSoft. As long as GW2 uses NCSoft servers it will always be attacked. They need to get their own servers not linked to NCSoft in order to take care of this problem, but that involves spending time and money, and my guess is that money is to pay developers, and other employees.

I’m curious if this is going to be ready for Episode 6 on July 25th..

Seems highly unlikely. And even if Linsey has had a chance to complete the work, it surely deserves a patch all to itself!

I know right.. I’m just excited for the changes.. esp being able to deposit amalgamated gemstones lol

I’m curious if this is going to be ready for Episode 6 on July 25th..

I know there are lot of upset people about the recent changes to the Participation timer for each event or activity involving keeping your participation timer going.

However I think ANet should really put up a vote to ask everyone that actually plays out in WvW if they should revert the changes or keep them as they are.

Dawdler.8521:

Vegeta.2563:

They just need to put Cloth and Leather nodes around in PvE maps, like how they have them in WvW. Just not in Guild Halls or Home instances.

Wouldnt help at all, lol. Despite them being introduced just for this purpose WvW synthesizers have near zero chance to drop T6 and on top of that near zero chance for a second try, you only get one mat. Hell getting T5 is incredibly rare. T1-2 is probably 90% of the loot table.

From what I’ve seen T3 is the most rare from those nodes. I play out in WvW for 8-10 hours.. and hardly have any Rugged leather

McKenna Berdrow.2759:

the only thing we have changed is the reset time for each action.

The reset times are as follows:
• Killing a Player – 10 minutes
• Killing a Caravan – 2 minutes
• Destroying a fortification – 5 minutes
• Killing a Guard – 2 minutes
• Killing a Lord – 5 minutes
• Killing or reviving a merc npc – 1 minute
• Repairing – 5 minutes
• Siege Damage Wall/Gate/Player – 1 minute
• Destroying Siege – 5 minute
• Killing a Veteran Creature – 5 minutes

These happen on event completion:
• Defending a Caravan – 2 minutes
• Completing a Merc Event – 5 minutes
• Completing a Defend Event – 10 minutes
• Capturing an objective – 10 minutes
• Capturing a Ruin or Shrine – 2 minutes
• Capturing a Sentry – 5 minutes

It is still possible that we will tweak these numbers going forward.

Why was this changed to begin with? What was wrong with what it currently was at?

Now it’s going to be near impossible to earn pips at non-peak hours. Which is my only time of day I can actually enjoy WvW.

Please change it back to what it was previously. I’m ok with the Outnumbered buff change that can stay I don’t care about that.

It’s already a chore as it is for anyone lower rank earning pips to reach Diamond chest each week.. now you make it even harder on them. This severely discourages new players to come into WvW as they learn that they can barely keep their participation going without decay kicking in.

Raymond Lukes.6305:

Hey Bunter,

We made a change to the way Outnumbered works that should help this feel a lot less bad. Outnumbered is now applied each scoring tick (every 5 minutes). Swapping to a map right before a tick will no longer grant an Outnumbered pip bonus. Instead, you must play on an Outnumbered map for an entire tick to earn the bonus.

You completely missed the point of what OP was making. Say you are on the map for 4 mins and 58 seconds.. and the last 2 seconds Outnumbered disappears. You get awarded pips, but without Outnumbered. Then Outnumbered comes back. Here is a youtube video to explain exactly what I am talking about. Watch the Outnumbered buff as the tick timer counts down.

I’m not sure if this is labeled as a bug or not.. but ever since the changes to Vault the past few major patches, you can no longer weapon swap during the middle of Vault on thief.

I seen nothing in the patch notes to dictate that this was intentional or if it was just over looked.

They just need to put Cloth and Leather nodes around in PvE maps, like how they have them in WvW. Just not in Guild Halls or Home instances.

This could be related to DDoS attacks.. so far 7 of my accounts all have login rewards..

Could always make Tomes of Knowledge be included in a new recipe that would let you craft level 20, 30, and 40 scrolls with the respectable amount of tomes.
