Guild Wars 2

The size. It would wanna be twice as big as HOT considering I know how much they’ll be charging for it.

That we don’t have new legendaries released before it.

If both of those don’t happen I ain’t buying it.

This is now the new method they are taking. Mo said something along the lines about the hype train staying at the station. It’s no longer accepting passengers.

I miss the hype train.

Sooo, the new way to keep people from logging off and going elsewhere is to put them to sleep with boring dailies and no hype?

Well, if it works it works. ^^

It doesn’t work

Don’t worry, we’ll all have plenty of opportunity to postpone payments for the next expansion. It’s going to be very interesting when they start announcing the features of the next expansion. I hope they are prepared for the level of skepticism they have earned.

Honestly, I think they will lose more from disenchanted Casuals who don’t enjoy the level of intensity of the New Zones and Content, then they ever will lose from postponing Legendary weapons.

I mean really, if a large percent of the players were doing the legendary Journeys they would have continued development, but I get the vibe that simply put, the people doing Legendary stuff were simply not enough to justify the resources.

I played almost everyday since release and quit with the announcement. More for the broken promise than the lack of legendaries but I defo would have done new ones if they were weapon I used a lot.

How bout cutting the 200k prize money for pvp tourists that no one cares about and using the money to bring us what we paid for?

Supply and demand.

Less people buying gems with real cash to convert to gold. They fupped up their expansion and a lot of paying people left.

Pretty simple I would of thought.

MORE MAPS THIS TIME!

Any warriors used in today’s games? Missed it because of work.

Never say ‘adorbs’ ever again. And don’t you dare put a ‘totes’ anywhere near it >:o

Come on man. They are totes adorbs and you know it!

Delete?

Just made my 4th today!

Do y’all know how much dps you would lose if you replaced your zerk armour with mauraderers? Rest of the build/runes/trinkets etc the same.

Like the reset on Monday. Please don’t change it.

My guilds.

How is this even a thread.

I joined. After 4 days of the snowball of hell and being stuck in Sapphire t2. Met 4 guys in exactly the same position. Good players on the wrong side of the mmr coin.

First match. Down 110-20. Lost mid fight to start had home decapped too. WON
Second match. Down 220-150. Won mid but lost home and far. Scattered a bit over the map. Regrouped. WON
Third match. Lead from start to finish. Played as a team and for the first time in days pvp was fun for us all again.

After all being on losing streaks to start those 3 wins gave us all a tier up. Yay!

Now essentially, this was 5 people who didn’t know each other the same as any other pug but the big difference was attitude and communication. When we were losing the was no kittening and finger pointing. Only instruction and positivity. And god those comebacks were sweet.

There is hope yet.

HELL no there is no hope. The system is BADLY designed.

Lol I agree on the design part. Can’t believe they thought this was a good idea. But at least I can have some fun until/if the fix in season 3.

That’s awesome to hear Veneratio! Maybe we should rename ourselves to the Comeback Boys

It’s games like those that inspired the guild promo video I made. I’ve got to say that it’s great to have close games like these again, and I’ve noticed that even when people don’t win, they appreciate the competitiveness rather than the stomping of one side or another.

Exactly. The second match was the big one. There was a moment at the snow temple at 8:30 going for buff that was epic. 4v4 down stairs with scores level at 300 each. Our roamed capped 2, we won the huge battle down stairs and pulled away.

All of us said it didn’t matter if we’d lost that fight or match. It was close, competitive, and most importantly it was fun again.

Would y’all prefer a warrior or a DH?

I think corrupt boon in general is stupid. Remove it completely

Sadly, I’d buy one in a second.

Started day 1
Sapphire t2
Massive losing streak. LIKE WON 3/40. Never experienced anything like it.
Stuck.
Last try today. If no improvement in done.

Pretty sure my MMR is zero now ????

I’m one of the solo queue idiots who thought it would turn for me. Just mt beating my head against the wall. My mmr is so bad now I’m get people with 400 ap who run around killing beast from start (both lol) and don’t get on point or help until we are all dead then he rolls into 3 of em solo.

I’m 3 wins 34 loses in sapphire t2 and I’m ruined. 3 of those loses my team got over 400. 19 of them less than 200.

Ruined me

28 losses in a row here in t2 sapphire. The snowball is real

R O C.6574:

I switched to playing rev instead of theif because my team kept losing the team fights. imo, a good theif can help a good team beat another good team by decapping far and rotating back to mid to help burst. But when everyone is wiping on mid in 3 sec, decapping far doesn’t really help much.

I did that too (from my DH) but vs 3-4 necro’s every match doesn’t make my boons an asset really.

Yup- welcome to the slot machine.

Also odds on winning in slots are quite low – the house always wins (they need the money)

If by house you mean the team of better players then yeah sure. This whole slots thing is actually a pretty bad analogy being as you are playing other players and not the house. In fact every single PvP match has the same amount of winners as it does losers!

I think the fact people think they will lose every match is partly contributing to their losing streaks. I have had several matches where the opposing team loses the initial mid fight and then 1 or 2 of them go afk and start blaming their team for being bad.

Lots of you guys instantly accuse your team of being bad instead of just realizing the other team is just better. They don’t win by just showing up unless your team just gives up which seems to be a reoccurring instance this season.

At 400-120 and triple capped against is generally when I pull the pin.

I have 2.2k ranked games. 4 classes with champion title and understand them and the game quite well. When to attack, when not to, when to peel. When to stomp, res, run etc etc. my skill level is not ESL standard but it is far from bad.

25 loses in a row now in sapphire. Very few of them close.

I quit.

I’m exactly the same except in Saphire. Lost a few, win 4-5, lose a couple. It wasn’t too bad.

First game in Saphire I lost 500-498 and since then lost 11 in a row. My team mates are considerably worse than what they were prior. Not even getting close to a win.

This game moves waaaaay to slowly

I am not sure that I will be able to find out the answers to your questions, Starfall, but I’ll see if the devs are able to tell me the details you’ve requested.

(As a GW veteran and official Life of the Party and Incorrigible Ale-Hound, I’m thinking about going for the beverage thing myself. )

Then bring your checkbook, because this achievement has NOTHING to do with gameplay.

I got 3k in 2 days.

These threads are crap.

Never saw this in game but you just ruined it for me. Seriously.

Reported.

Talindra.4958:

we do suffer a bit the ping while playing in EU. theres a few other aussie players in our guild. i am not sure if it is worth for you to try swaping to EU server but if you really have no one to play with, perhaps it is worth trying.

What does “suffer a bit of ping” mean to you? It’s about 220 ave on NA.

No sorry I’m NA. I shoulda stayed that. That time is perfect though. Been wondering recently if EU would be better for our timezone. All the US is asleep when I get on and waking up when I got to bed.

3 questions I spose…..
What’s the general population activity like at that time?
Whats the ping like for you on EU servers?
Is it even possible to switch from Na to EU?

Ven

Hmmm I posted this on the wrong forum apparently and it’s been moved over here so gonna give myself a bump lol.

I have a condi zerker, ps zerker and dps rev all in full ascended. Still really keen to find an AEST guild or group to get these raids done on a weekly basis.

It seems kind of silly to let people speculate and get their hopes up about the fractal changes dropping today when you guys knew it was never part of the plan. A simple “It won’t be the coming with the December 1st patch” would have done.

To be clear, speculation isn’t something we can control, nor will we bounce into every thread that contains a speculative comment to try address it. We did not announce, and never planned for, a drop on December 1st. If you are disappointed, I really am sorry to hear that. I’m familiar with speculation — we had a lot of it as we prepared to release Guild Wars, Guild Wars 2, Guil… well, you follow my drift. It’s part of the nature of our sharing info about upcoming games, features, or improvements, that someone will speculate a date and that the date — even while never stated by us — may come to be seen as “obvious” or even “official.”

In this case, we wanted to share the news that good things are coming, but as in other cases, a date was not tied to that info.

I just checked with Production, and everything is on track to see the introduction of fractal changes later this month.

Vissarion.6509:

Gaile Gray.6029:

Hey all,

I know that some of you were thinking that we’d be releasing updates to fractals today, but that was not the plan. There’s still a lot of stuff coming in December — this is, after all, only the 1st of the month -- so hold tight and you’ll see the fractal changes soon!

thank you for the communication, at least it was a bit quick (better late than ever).

But the frustration from many of us waiting for a fix to the rewards is over 9000!!!!!!

I understand and sympathize. I like what’s coming, but I do know it’s difficult to wait!

I love your work on the forums Gail but this is just silly. Speculation is EXACTLY the thing that you can control with proper communication.

Ok I just looked. I REALLY hope this is a bug. I loved the way it looked before and pumped so much time into getting my pre ready. No idea why it would have a purple glow in a blue themed piece anyways

Please be a bug.

Hi ya.

So I love the raids. Killed VG many time but can’t get past Gors. Met lots of great people doing it but it giving me sleep deprivation cause I’m staying up to all hours to run with the peeps I’ve met.

Really looking for 8-9 like minded people in AEST who wanna run from 8-12 each night. I have multiple sets of ascended and can run different roles.

Please message me in game if interested or have a group I can join.

Cheers,

Ven

So are y’all saving you boxes or opening them as you go?

I’ve almost got 2 stacks but it m afraid they are gonna disappear or have less value later.

If they stop making JPs I’m outta here. Best part of the game.

Great guide, here some feedback.

1) I would be more general and not say healer, but support. I saw some run with the tank providing protection to the first party and a tempest providing protection to the second. And even the Druid healer is often in full zerker. You just need someone to boost your survivability and healing is one of them.

2) I would say 2-3 condition. We killed him with only 2 conditions engineers, we had enough dps to kill the Red Guardian in time. We started we true condition but it was too much.

3) I would seperate thing a bit. You don’t need 5-6 direct damage build. You could play with 1 tank, 1 support and 8 condition damage if you want. You need 1 tank, 1 support, 2-3 condition and the rest is all about dps, but you can take whatever you want.

4) The consumable part isn’t complete. You should add a line that said : Each profession and build are different, try to find what consumable are best for you. For exemple. Boon duration food on Mesmer is great for the Quickness even if it’s a Direct Damage dps. The PS warrior should have stuff like Dumpling. The support could prefer bountiful sharpening stone depending if he’s mostly about direct healing or boons sharing.

5) The Seekers spawn on the rock with a sign in each of the three zone. People should make sure not to step on it in case one spawn on them. If the green circle spawn on the sign, be prepare to push the seeker if he spawn on you. In the 5th phases, a 4th seeker will spawn in the circle in the middle.

6) When the boss spit in three. You should try to not kill Green in last, especially if you zerged blue first and then went to green. You only have a couple second after the last of the 3 die before the green floor illuminate. My group prefer to make sure Green is dead, everybody is up and then we break the bar of the red. That way nobody get caught on the green floor. It’s less of a problem when you do a even split at the three guardian because nobody should down at Green that way.

Regarding 6) better to have the tank pull green over to blue and dos them together. You waste less time AND CC which you need early in phase 3 and 5.

This will put a lot of strain on your healer since everyone who’s at blue will take damage from being near the Green Guardian. In the video, we have 2 people at green, our 3 condi at red and the rest at blue. This way it’s 2 less people for our druid to deal with healing when we move from blue to green. It’s probably possible, but the enrage timer isn’t that much of a threat if your group’s DPS is decent to warrant putting more strain on yourself in P2. We actually hit the enrage during the kill clip in the video, but it’s not a hard enrage that will wipe you as soon as the counter hits 0; it’s a soft enrage that will build up until it’s too much to handle.

I think that my recommendation for splitting in the video is what’s easiest on your healer. As long as your group is relatively coordinated and doesn’t blow all cc on killing the Green Guardian, you should have enough for P3/P5.

Hmmmm maybe. We did the pull and finished with 1.14 left on clock but we’ve had some fair practice. Maybe our Druid is just OP ????

The minute they announce it.

So after 6 hours non stop in guild team with voice comms out best was 10% many times. Timer always kicks in tho and we panic and wipe. We had optimised builds and food but can’t seem to eek out quite enough DPS. Will keep trying but dunno if it’s gonna hold me for too long if we can’t get consistent at succeeding. Not that we have to all the time but 6 hours nonstop is a lot haha

I hate the timer and if they must have one I see no reason for it to be so low. The mechanics of the fight are great and tough enough that you wipe without worrying about time. If there must be one then 12mins would be a good spot imo.

Yep. This royally ticked me off too.

yup

usual rotation for me is…

Pre-Fight have all 3 Glint utilities active

Opening: F2 > Axe 4 > Sword 3 > Glint AoE Breath > Glint 5 x2 > AA til Sword 3 > Sword 3

Legend Swap > Shiro Heal > Shiro Imp Odds > AA til Glint is off CD > Legend Swap > F2 > All Glints Utilties upkeep > Glint AoE Breath > Sword 3 > Repeat

Use Glint Elite on CD or save it for break bars….Jade Winds can be used instead of Imp Odds after legend swap for break bars as well

Glance over how you describe your rotation. Because impossible odds and f2 cannot be active at the same time.

When you run out of energy it turns off F2 which is when you switch legend and you get no cool down on the F2. I do the same rotation and it’s awesome.

Too many ascended mats at the end of each tier.

The Zap experiment (1st stage) cost 30 ASCENDED ingots to make an EXOTIC weapon. Something not right about that.

I’m at a point were I’m salvaging coat boxes now as completed meta 7 times. Find the right guild. Only needs 10-20 to be on the same page, all advertise on lfg and your u fill the map.

SPKD (my guild) do and complete metas every night on one of the maps. We had a 11 min Mordy kill the other day.

Send me mail in game if you’d like an invite.
