Guild Wars 2

Hi,

I really want a Guild Wars 2 Keyboard from SteelSeries. I contacted SteelSeries support and they said this specific keyboard was a limited edition. I knew it was a SPECIAL edition but never heard nor read it was a LIMITED edition.

Anyway,

Are there any plans for it being in stock again?

Am I the only person interested?

I really don’t feel like writing but I’m kind of concerned…

First of all, we all know WvW has flaws. I mean, there are servers battling against other servers, which have 3x + the population… That’s always bothered me.

Now, here is what is happening ATM and it is destroying the game even more, IMO.

For example, I see EVERYONE (as an expression, not literally) quitting Whiteside Ridge (because it always had to battle against much more populated servers).

I really think something should be done to balance the servers’ populations.

Anyway, I’d really like to hear someone else’s thoughts on this. Sorry If I didn’t give much proof to what I say but I’m sleepy. : )

Cheers

Good video and thanks for doing the WvW Highlights.

But that is some bullkitten! Two people being the reason for a keep (Hills nonetheless) flipping. Perma-Stealth blows. Portaling through unbroken walls and gates is bullkitten.

This right here explains 90% of the accusations of hacking when a place is taken with walls and gates intact.

Well, Thieves and Mesmers are not exclusive to one single server/guild so anyone can try doing this. Therefore… It’s a fair unfair thing in the game. :P I don’t know, just being impartial.

And you are welcome! I’ll be posting PvP and WvW videos every week!

Hello,

This project had in mind PvP but the WvW mode could not be neglected with its epic zergs, stealths, capps, duels, escapes, ETC

With that said, here is the first Guild Wars 2 Top WvW Stealth Week 1:

Thanks

I’ve made a video. This topic helped a lot.

I’m doing a video about this subject and this topic helped a lot. Hopefully this topic will reach other people with it.

Hello,
I want opinions for a Ele PvP Build. That’s it. Thanks.

I have a more dps build ATM but I find really difficult to survive against a condition build.

Hi,
I’m forming a PvP team. Casual but committed people. (We play everyday)
We’re looking for Elementalists, Guardians, Mesmers and Thieves.
No arrogants nor ragequitters, please.
Starting the 25th, we will have our own private server to practice.
Must have microphone to voice chat and speak/write comprehensible english.

Not sure what you’re trying to say warkeil, but torment is supposed to do more damage if you move, so against a thief you now can’t move to do anyhting about the fact that they’re just hitting you, running away in stealth, healing, hitting you, etc. because you can’t chase them without punching yourself in the face…

I am trying to say that even though they say they want to balance things/classes, they have just given one more awesome condition that thieves (the example you gave) can use. Because they aren’t hard to catch/hit already…

Quoting:

“When possible, we try very hard not to take away too much potency from popular builds because we know that a lot of people enjoy them – but occasionally we do need to bring some abilities down in power.”

“Necromancer Death Shroud 5”

" In looking to expand the condition diversity of thieves and mesmers, we decided to include Torment skills for those two professions as well."

I only see “up in power” not “down in power”.

I mean … come on … you’re right, realistically. Look at how much focus they put in PvP compared to PvE. But then compare that to how meticulously they work on the gem sales they make, such as with the jade skins … makes perfect sense the way you put it, from a business standpoint.

I can’t harp on them too much for being a business, but a business is a business … which is designed to take money from people’s pockets and put it into their own kitten pocket. That’s their focus, they just use the developers to push this as hard as they possibly can, and it shows.

Even if I may have read some possible sarcasm in there, I’m simply inclined to agree with your statement(s).

They can profit a lot with PvP though.

I’d like to see the “last login” of every member! I think that is something rather easy to implement!

I’m sure Anet wants to do many of those suggestions, but pretty sure they are constrained by resources. Their priorities are elsewhere probably in PVE/WvW realm.

So unfortunately true. They aren’t running a charity. They’re running a business designed to make money. And they will put the most effort into what brings them the most money, which is their PvE content, since there’s a good thousand times more content in PvE than sPvP.

Also I think the “s” in PvP should just stand for sh … kittens … :P

“kittens”. haha

Anyway, I do think they can profit a LOT from competition/PvP. Look at League of Legends for example: Their main income is from skins? SKINS that do not affect stats…

GW2 will never ever become an Esport.

Thank you for the suggestion. :p

“Get a good idea of specific professions/builds that kill me frequently and how they’re played.”

Have you tried playing different professions and builds? or are you just asking that people’s builds and thoughts on play style be published?. As far as I am aware you can do both currently. Try spectator mode and look at their boons on skill use. This gives away their trait allocation. As for play style..just watch them.

I’ve collected that opinion. It is not mine. I agree with you though, that bullet point is not a very important one.

Hi,

I’ve been collecting opinions on how the PvP can be improved. Not only the accessibility, etc but also something that few people comment on how to improve: gameplay.

PvP should be FUN and addicting! Plus, to become an eSport it must be extremely entertaining for the viewer/spectator as well!

I’m seeking opinions so that I can make a video on what the community wants changed and/or inserted in the PvP mode. The video (and this thread?) would help both us and ArenaNet to know the most wanted changes…

List (last edit: 20.June.2013):

1. Solo Queue/Team Queue or Matchmaking improved
2. A more detailed death log. I want to be able to see what gave me that imobilize, what gave me that chill, I want to be able to hover a skill in the death log and actually showing it’s tooltip! This is a MUST for new players coming into the PvP scene or pretty much anyone in the process of learning!
3. Increased rewards
4. A PvP rank more reflecting of skill – this current version is meaningless and still teams look for rank rather than gameplay!
5. Dueling with a right click option in the Heart of the Mists
6. With spectator mode implemented, i’d personally really like a way to watch and SAVE replays. I want to be able to save a fight and rewatch it from every angle. It would make it much easier for a team to reobserve their fight, going over what went wrong and where. It would make casting SO much better, since a fight could be edited and broadcast.
7. Get a good idea of specific professions/builds that kill me frequently.
8. Balance through trait, weapon, and utility skill redesign. This would open up more build variety while also cutting back on some of the more dominant and infuriating builds.
9. “WOW” moments.
10. Double Kills, Triple Kills, ETC as in Unreal Tournament, for example.
11. To “rent”/buy (probably private) PvP servers.
12. More PvP only items on Gemstore, lik: Skins without RNG, Finishers and Anouncer Packs ( Rytlock, Zojja, Tybalt, Living Story characters… )
13. Practice matches against bots (This would be excellent for practice and to make PvP more “mainstream”). Also, many people warm-up with bots in other games before facing real people.
14. Solo/Team Queue and also Solo/Team Leaderboards
15. Easy to counter Norns and Chars. Hard to see Asura’s animations due to their size.
16. Closing the gap between PvP and PvE by earning PvE rewards in PvP and vice versa (Generally speaking, this would focus on aesthetics.)
17. More tournament modes. Single elimination is okay, but with more growth bringing a 3 game bracket back would be awesome, especially because you can play either. The current 5v5 point-holding is fine, but I’d love to see modes which focus on, say, taking down the enemy tower and killing his lord in a full siege mode. 25v25 tower v tower in a structured fight not unlike WvW would be amazing. A king-of-the-hill dueling arena would be nice too. So would a straight up get-kills mode. I like the current mode, I’d just like to see them do other stuff too.
18. Traits being save-able but that’s already on the list of things they’re doing.
19. Reworking Professions so there is much more viability for each.
20. More maps. Preferably maps where the main gimmick of the map isn’t a huge deal. Forest is a great one, since the mob kills are enough points to matter, but not so much that it can turn the fight around by focusing on them alone.

The most asked and possible to achieve:

1. A ranking that is not based on team wins (as a solo player it is frustrating to have a good night drop rank because of a few unlucky matches)/Solo/Team Queue and also Solo/Team Leaderboards.
2. Save and Watch Replays.
3. Dueling in the mists.
4. More PvP items. We want to waste money on PvP stuff!
5. More maps.

I will be updating this first post so you don’t need to search into the future replies/posts.

Agree or not they CAN profit a LOT from PvP without making it unfair to those who do not spend so much money on the game.

Can we get a WvW video mega thread of small roaming teams and gvg and what not, I’m tired of looking through each individual thread for videos/channels.

I am now collecting, selecting WvW footage for the first WvW Top 5 Moments of the week.
send your footage here:
www.guildwarswarkeil.com

www.youtube.com/guildwarswarkeil

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/WvW-Top-Moments-of-the-Week/first#post2235595

Hi,

I am here again to try promoting this idea, again. The PvP Top 5 Moments of the Week had a huge welcome and support but the WvW did not. If you didn’t see the first video yet, here it is (it’s a special edition featuring ArenaNet Vs MistLeague): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tgw_5A7jBgQ&list=PL0tWdoAepleOLNM9xx63RZjZ7wXPhB9J5&feature=mh_lolz

The 2nd is on the way. With the suggested improvements.

Now, I have received some WvW footage already but the purpose of this topic is not just to promote the idea and ask people to send their best WvW moments but it is as well to know your opinion. Would you like to see a WvW Top 5 Moments of the week?

WvW is an amazing mode in which Guild Wars stands out from the MMO crowd. Heck, it’s the only reason lots of players like the game.

Anyway, let me know what you think and if you do have some epic WvW footage, send it here: www.guildwarswarkeil.com

Thanks

Hello everyone,

I’ve posted this on the PvP section for I defend the cause that Guild Wars 2 should become an ESport and I’m now discussing ideas with some league/tournament organizers but… Guild Wars 2, it’s not just about PvP. Besides PvP and the obvious PvE we also World Vs World.

I invite you all to submit your best WvW moments. They can be “wins”, “fails”, escapes, funny, kills and teamwork. As soon as I have enough great footage, I’ll work on the first weekly video.

I’m going to be putting all my efforts and much time on this so please all ideas and feedback are always welcome. I think Guild Wars 2 deserves to shine. Even more.

Here are the links, so far:

If you or know someone who will like this idea then share it. That is all, I think.

Cheers!
