heya talia/mokuren just copied this post in this thread u linked me to incase u missed it.
heya just gave the site a look. I got a solid grasp on english but it ain’t my native tongue so i gotta ask. What do u mean with rp stories from your discord bieng parallel and crosing over?
I take it that all is done on discord chat including all interactions. So your characters wouldn’t actually be standing in whatever place they are on tyria? but it all text based?
also those weekly rp events are they mandatory? cause if i decided to join and u and or the leadership have decided to accept me. I might be a bit hesistant to join immeadatly in a seemingly rp event that is up to date with current canon events from what i can read. or to fully have my character take part in something which i take is also scripted to some extent.
speaking of which are they any tutors there that could guide me through it in the beginning?
all in all it seems quite interesting, espically the ceremonies and how your guild came to be.

3) Start perma-banning players from ranked who are 100% known to be throwing/trolling games. Put a nice plaque somewhere with their names so we can all enjoy it.
Be sure to hire a lawyer when u propose this to the A-net staff cause they will try to find a loophole to allow the player in question to still return so that they can syphon money of said known/griefer/troll/afk’er etc. I’m wholeheartedly convinced after that debacle that they do not care about actual ingame behaviour. it’s one thing to have too many reports of bad behaviour. I could live with this, deluding myself that A-net did care but simply didn’t had the resources to tacle this problem or maby they do but they are so many of them we might never solve ’’my’’ problem. But here they had the chance to actually make an example out of the Abjured players, they had the evidence, they were videos posted, it was widely known and they still instincitevly looked for a loophole.
nothing will change about it. but if u are gonna try u better bring a lawyer. not even exagarating here.
hello RP’ers.
i’ve since a few weeks ago began on my first roleplay experience. And I must say quite interesting and i definately want to do that again however. besides all the compliments i got. I still lack a lot of experience. I did some basic read up on the lore in it’s most basic essence but that’s really it. I’m ofcourse willing to learn more.
So why am I even interested in rp? Well good question. I simply have an very wide interest in actually exploring the areas, finding out new things that expand my basic knowledge on the current lore and just enjoying the scenery. rp’ing and seeing how people in creative ways combined the lore with thier stories was Always interesting to watch and quite calming after some intense wvw and pvp.
I’d consider myself an adventerous player. this is mainly cause i kinda didn’t even bother to explore the maps other then early in the game to get gift of exploration but so much changed by then.
I kinda have an character build up but not quite a character sheat yet.
His name is Guy Fierrison an anspiring Norn ranger restaurant critic. He’s arrogant, ill mannered, oppurtunistic a freeloader and E X T R A T H I C C!!!.
So what am I looking for?
Well since I recently joined and am temporary running the position of guild second in commandy and i am a casual pvp’er on the side kinda has me in time constraints so i can’t afford to roleplay more then twice a week. I’m looking for an rp guild that wants to take the time and effort to teach novice rp’ers such as myself and help me get properly in the scene. I’m situated in ring of fire. Not sure how that affects roleplay but i figure i should disclose that info just incase.
so yeah that’s it. hopefully i can make a guild happy and vice versa by taking me on a rp tour and have an adventure together.
We got lawyered guys. A-net didn’t went back on their word. they just convienantly left out that they could still buy new alts and that only thier main and current alts would be banned/perma dishonored.
Bassically it was just a slap on the wrist. And just really a show.
As many of you are aware, we received many reports that the winners of July’s Monthly tournament were not played by the owners of those accounts. After a thorough investigation, we have found that these accusations are true.
We are taking this very seriously. The following 10 players listed below have been given permanent dishonor.
Naru and alts
Nos and alts
Wakkey and alts
Toker and alts
Zeromis and alts
Asuna Proxy
Forever I Promise
Love Them Boons
Jolly Karen
Makus
In addition, we have removed prizes gained by the winning players and have cleared the statues. They will retain the titles for a short while until we can remove them in the future.
We will be continuing to monitor tournaments in the future.
The Guild Wars 2 PvP TeamLet me fix the anet statement if the banned people are actually playing again.
“We are taking this very lightly. The following 10 players listed below have been given a slap on the wrist. They have permanent dishonor on main accounts and some what kind of permanent dishonor on their alt accounts, unless they pay money and buy a new account from us then they are good.”
for some reason i don’t know i thought banning a person from pvp and alts ment the person was gone from pvp period… Wow those tricky politician like statements from anet lol. That’s why ill never play ranked again and i may just skip out on PoF and run reaper. If season 9 has a chance at life ill buy PoF.
yeah there was an fine print there. they can still buy new alts even if A-net banned thier main and alts. nothing about new alts bieng prohibited.
Honestly i kinda have a few toughts about this i shall refrain from expressing here cause there is no way i can word them without resorting to profanity so i will focus on the positive ones i guess. I will say the following here to end on a positive note: Clever little Fox A-net.
I will atleast commend A-net on bieng clever i guess.
give people time to actually develop viable metas. if u nerf the hot builds now u just shift everybody on the PoF bandwagon, this is the chance to actually have improved build diversity. if hot classes are still massively overperforming compared to pof then u can nerf. the meta isn’t settled yet most average joes haven’t even masterd it yet even found a viable build yet.
edit:i can’t edit my last post.but i’m not implying or insuniating that deadye can hit 1 million. the 1 million damage is a hyperbole to show that just because normally the damage is small relatively percentage wise doesn’t justify if 100 percent equals an ridiculously large number.
just to let that out here. 107 k is not justifiyable in whatever way possible.
just leaving another one here
in other words of 1 million can still be several 10’s of thousands.
107k is not kittening justifiable.
107 k should never kittening be feasiable in pvp even with 25 mightstacks and on a berserker amulet, what kind of nonsense is this? this is kittened. even without it will do insane damage.
That was 25 might stacks, all Spirits, Ranger Boons and Spotter, with full Banners from war and Rev Ferocity, and most likely with Edison wearing no armor and most likely had 25 stacks of Vulnerability was half health and just standing there doing nothing in that picture while the Thief in question was probably running DA/CS/DE after waiting 14 secs to get max damage modifiers, setting up for this hilarious almost entirely impossible to ever replicate damage in a real Pvp match.
as others have said even without the ridiculously long set up it will still do kittentons of damage without. I don’t even see how one would ever think of defending such numbers. this isn’t 20 k or even 15 k. this is over 100 kittening k. he coulda nearly killed the kittener 10 times over. this is kittening kittened. why in the world is 107 k even needed for? it’s not that u get many more points for overkill in match. it’s straight up kittenation.
107 k should never kittening be feasiable in pvp even with 25 mightstacks and on a berserker amulet, what kind of nonsense is this? this is kittened. even without it will do insane damage.
looks incredibly fine so far the quickness increasing boon duration really makes the protection on dodge worthwile which also heals and has added healing. this kinda makes it so that u don’t need to take both nature magic and beastmastery for sustain. atm testing a wilderniss survival dagger/dagger shortbow ibogu build and the sustain is nicely balanced with the condi damage so build.
Some few improvements
>We need some kind of damage mitigation on main hand dagger even damage reduction or protection on dagger would suffice.
>Reduce the cooldwn of beast mode by half or make pet swapping possible in beast mode. we kinda need to swap pets on demand. I expect the latter to be a bit too much and lore wise kinda strange to swap pets with a pet u just melded with so a cooldown reduction would suffice.
> I see potential for a nice utility support based class. however the stances need a bit more sustain to make it more likeable over surival utilities and signets.
give all stances protection by default. or allow stances to share offensive boons+effects currently already present on you. that would make it synergyse well with the you gain all boons of your pet in beast mode. this allows for another bruiser esque support soul beast to be born.
anyways IBOGU is awsome as hell.
The better question is how this all works with weakness.
Let’s say you have signet of stamina, the food and vigor for 140% endurance regen in total, when you get weakness does it halve the regen after the effects giving you 70% regen or does it essentially counteract the vigor leaving you with 90%?
good question. honestly have no idea but really a good idea
Do orrian truffle and meat stew stack with vigor? if yes how do the stack?
thanx in advance.
This was a discussion a while back.
Vigor is +50% endurance regen
The food is +40% endurance regenUsing both gives you 90% endurance regen. Note though that Endurance regen caps at 100%. So for example if you use the warrior signet of stamina (50%) along with the food you’d get 90%, and gettting vigor would bring you to….50.40,+50 = 100% endurance regen.
So it stacks, and it caps at 100% (provided you are using over 100% regens)YOu can confirm yourself ingame, just double dodge before you apply the food….count as soon as it regens from 0. Then repeat with ur food on once it refills, and compare.
ok thanx for clearing this up
Do orrian truffle and meat stew stack with vigor? if yes how do the stack?
thanx in advance.
ok this is new. virtual motion sickness is an thing? not trying to be mean here but i’m genuinely surprised here.
it’s the kittening condi clear against condi bursts i have an issue with and the nerf in pve to berserkers power which nerfs phalanx strength in berserker mode. it should only affect the healing of adrenal health to tier 1but cleansing ire and berserkers powers shoulda remain untouched warrior got nerfed in 3 friggin modes.
i mean friggin mirage is coming and u gonna make only a frigigin 1 condi cleanse i mean wtf man?
dat ele bieng good at support and dps in all game modes is a load of absolute horeshit. pvp and wvw suffer from it. more high risk smaller rewards.
nerfed overload air, nerfed dagger, buffed thieves even more, nerfed conjure duration trying to frame unlimited charges as if any decent ele would use them all up in 30 seconds. at this point the second FGS is nothing but a mockery. it’s ridiculous any build outside auramancer just get’s increased risk, and risk and risk and risk and risk and risk and risk but the kittening reward get’s lower. it’s absolutely ridiculous. ele’s are not top tier damage dealers in pvp. the moment they go damage they get picked off in 2 shots if they kitten up once.
high risk, low reward/not viable in higher tiers of pvp/get’s insulted for not bieng support
“. And finally, we’re looking to normalize damage for the elementalist so that it is not effectively the best-in-slot for damage, support, and survivability in all scenarios. " , /wrists lmao, really anet? really?
…meanwhile in pvp ele still can’t make dps build without committing suicide.
Yeah just kittening read the patchnotes yesterday. I was contemplating stopping playing with dps ele builds before yesterday but then I tought no way A-net. Try harder I’m not gonna become a friggin meta-sheep( not that there is anything wrong with that but to each thier own ) . I will keep playing what i like. If have to become a kamikaze bomber then so be it.
Exactly. The fact that in HoT we got an elite specialization with warrior that could run Berserker amulet and still be able to face tank both direct and condition damage says something about the risk/reward balance of the HoT specializations. It’s also considered meta enough that most people can pick it up without too much problem. Because the risk/reward is out of whack is also how we get condi daredevil cheese. Low risk, high reward.
I just want this expansion to have a suitable balance of risk to reward. I think that weaver currently has a good risk to reward balance. At least it seems that way from just looking at the design. We will see when we get to actually play it. I was just disappointed that after the announcement, the forum was filled with several things about how to “fix” the weaver. As it is now the weaver will require some serious critical thinking in analyzing and anticipating an opponents moves. Which I think will make the gameplay much more interesting. This didn’t really happen for a lot of specializations in HoT. The HoT specializations didn’t require as high of a level of critical thinking in order to play well.
Looking at mirage and holosmith. I honestly have a feeling that we will again have classes with lower risk and equal or higher rewards to weaver. heck even if we give a-net the benefit of the doubt and have the new elite specs equal to current elite specs we will eventually end up the same problem maby only moved on different classes. I honestly believe that Weaver doesn’t need ’’fixing’’ were there the risk to reward ratio fair aka lower risk lower reward. Honestly I’d rather have it buff weaver cause i’d be kitten ed to kittening hear: Fresh air isn’t viable yadda yadda yadda. I honestly have a feeling that in general elite specs will create a similar meta in wich a ‘’burst class’’ also has enough sustain of a pre hot bunker class. because lets be real here. every ’’burst’’ build and anything inbetween are all just all arounders with varying degrees sustain and dps. when sustain>dps it is a bruiser or bunker. I’d rather have a more powerfull dps role then to realize weaver might be put in the same boat as fresh air ele, and then wait maby another 2 years or gw3 for an spellcaster class that finnally works.
there is nothing wrong with high risk, high reward playstyle however what worries me is the another possibility of next elite specs having lower risks with similar or higher rewards? Do u know what is high risk, ‘’high reward’’? Current Fresh Air ele.
You build yourself to be ’’tanky’’ against power damage and condi bombs become a problem and vice versa.
U wanna be actually sustainable enough to not get two shotted by thiefs of equal level? u go auramancer and your dps takes a massive dip.
Look at the warrior gs mace burst. it runs friggin berserker amulet and still has enough sustain to defend against power and condi damage without having to give up one defence for the other.
DH is the same, Scrapper is a bruiser, Druid a nice allarounder as well in pvp.
Necro and Rev kinda have trade offs. but necro shines in a co-ordinated teams. Rev can still deal decent amount of damage, rotate around the map and actually do well in 1 v 1’s. and it’s still more sustainable then fresh air ele.
honestly high risk reward is currently high risk equal to reward
How much space will the betas take?
in Account & Technical Support
Posted by: Xanctus The Dragonslayer.2318
If GW2 is already fully installed, the entire expansion is only another ~20 GB according to the requirements. Keep in mind that GW2 only has a single installation, so you’re going to be downloading that beta regardless of if you’re participating. It’ll likely only be 1 GB, maybe 5 at most. Episode 6 was only ~700 MB for comparison.
man i see, where did ya get the 20 gb from. Cause I’m now browsing to options for increasing the storage space. maby even internal hardrivers. u’ve been a massive help the last few days btw.

Posted by: Xanctus The Dragonslayer.2318
Hi A-net so bassically i have only 33gb of storage space left. So Im kinda worried the demo’s might go over that limit.
Any clarification on this?
it it also possible to buy usb3 ports?
It can be done by adding a PCI Express card, assuming you have a slot.
where should i look on my computer (HP Pavilion 2054 sd) to see if there is a slot for the pci express card?
You should first see how much space you’re wasting. Under Computer, right click your drive and choose disk cleanup, then run through it. Look in the %temp% and c:\windows\temp\ folders. You can also disable restore points and hibernate.
Are they any differences playing from an external drive i should be aware off?
If it’s an older computer, you probably don’t have USB3 ports, so an external drive is going to be a lot slower to load things. Longer loading screens and invisible stuff that hasn’t loaded yet that pops up seconds later for example.
just checked and cleaned the unnesisary stuff. still 33 gb the computer says. it it also possible to buy usb3 ports?
Hello guys. So appearantly the new expanasion is gonna require atleast 50 gigabytes. my old ass computer can still support the game according to the can i run it website but i do not have enough space left so I have to buy an external hardrive.
However since I’m not quite versed in computers and what works. I kinda would like to know what I should be looking for in terms of increasing storage space so that I can run the game smoothly without any troubles.
What hardrive should i be looking for?
Are they any differences playing from an external drive i should be aware off?
(prolly dumb question) Can I just move the icon to the hardrive and gw2 works fine or do i need to reinstall it?
All answers are appreciated? btw i live in the EU and use Euro’s as currency.
I’d love to hear a developers take on this.
i just hope the elite specs are equal to the curren elite specs
the puzzles weren’t that hard once u understand the mechanic. my lazy ass threw them randomly till i realised i wasn’t going anywhere then i solved it shortly after realising how it work. However just because it wasn’t that hard doesn’t mean that it’s not that hard for anybody else and this has nothing to do with just facebook generation and other kitten like that. It’s a thing about spatial intelligence. Spatial experience, mathmathical intelligence, logical reasoning and deductions are all forms of intelligence we have in several levels. some players like the OP are appearantly incredibly good in that aspects. others are not and that has nothing to do with them bieng lazy kittens or anything like that.
When will they be positioned in such a way that they are not stacked on top of each other? causing 1 misclick to agro multiple ones of them A-net?
We’re working on a fix for them. We’re getting some map changes to get some more combat space. We didn’t get it done in time for today’s build, but hopefully in a couple weeks.
Thanx for responding.
looking forward to it.
this community is slowly losing it’s mind.
bots and naughty list.
seriously i know it’s hard to believe that people play like this but they exist.
When will they be positioned in such a way that they are not stacked on top of each other? causing 1 misclick to agro multiple ones of them A-net?
You just might be seeing that evidence soon actually.
come on man. I’m sure u don’t really believe this nonsense right? Focus on the actual trouble instead of trying to look into the minds of the developers.
we gotta chill.
Why be an apologist for the problems in GW2 pvp?
There are people posting hard evidence of this nowadays. Pay attention.
With ratings being visible it’s quite clear something is very wrong.
Apologize all you want but numbers and match history do not lie.
Because when u start claiming things like a naughty list, things are getting a bit too ridiculous. I’m not disputing that they are flaws. I’m disputing claims of motivation?
things like they are doing this intentionally to make players play
naughty list
new players are intentionally fed to pro players so that pro players can stomp and troll them
pro players and likes only make teams so that they can make new players feel bad
things like this are absurd and extrodinary claims. atleast provide evidence and not enable this kind of nonsense. it brings everything down as a whole. if there was evidence of such a naughty list then i will eat my words and admit i’m wrong.
let it go guys. I understand u are all angry. heck i get angry as well at times. but this is ridiculous.
there is no ridiclous consipirancy. the truth is just that certain players are all dissapointed in the state of pvp and are lashing out for various reasons, some justified some are not. and some inbetween. there is no santa’s bad boi list.
sounds like some conspiracy nonsense. no kittening company would be so dumb and salty to kitten of potential money by making them run away cus somebody was mean on the forums.
Combat npc’s standing too close to each other in heart of the mists? I’d really like to see this adressed regardless of what the answer may be.
I’m sure this has been noted several times. but by dwayna these npc’s in heart of the mists are way too close. Makes it quite a hassle if I or anybody wants to try out a new build or maby a build with an higher skill floor and or is squishy one single attack agro’s 3 or 4 of them while it was not the player’s intent do so. And it’s not that all of these npc’kitten like wet noodles. thief pistol burst, ele lighining storm, necro downstate do absolutely a massive amount of damage when used at the same time.
Heck when I see new players it is sometimes not even possible to practice. this is counter productive.
I’m all for growing the pvp community. but this is nonsensical. if it was intended to make things harder or more beneficial for a players growth curve then I’d rather have the npc’s updated to elite specs and similar to current meta builds. rather then stacking them all together that u might risk aggroing four of them veteran level npc’s in a closed space that appearantly can also friggin chase u all the way to chieftain(necro,ele,mersmer, revenant) or well past half of the bridge.
the rewards are decent 500 g at the end of a month is not bad. I agree with JT. U need a lower level tournament so that u can have rookie teams as it stands now u have teams like JFK and such just gonna kitten on new teams. And yes u can go to unranked to practice rotations, but honestly to stand a chance u need lots and lots of practice to stand a chance like practice srimss etc
we kinda need to have the language not be all to old school shakespearan. not everybody can speak english of the highest level in europe english is pretty much a second language for most of us. Or u’d need subtitles for the friggin subtitles.
they are effectively ’’useless’’ heart of thorns increased the presence of damage modifiers and for a long time u had sigils like fire+air. to compensate protection+passive damage migitation in traits etc.
sustain is now a stat in which armour+protection/damage migitation need both be suffient
this isn’t pre heart of thorns where having an high armour of 2800 that was considerd high and a bit of of protection or some added passive defence would make u a tank god.
u need both to be present. if not u better hope u get some nice heals or passive sustain like adrenal health.
What seems to be working well, among those builds?
Generally speaking
> The added sustain damage u get inbetween bursts is a nice perk that compensates and I’d say is even better then the rune of the scholar option.
>The stone heart in combination with protection from elemental shielding, unstable conduit gives nice healing through elemental bastion.
>Overload Air and fire give access to AOE cleave if needed. works well on finishing of the downed.
all in all i’d say this build is not much different then the standard fresh air or staff builds the added benefit is increased AOE and increased survivability the auras also add a bit more to team by granting allies might, healing, lightning strike and protection bassically u have an increased presence in the teamfight.
and promoting this git gud culture.
out of curiosity, what would be the opposite of a git gud culture? stay bad?
the opposite of git gud is stay bad indeed. git gud is really more a slang and often is used in a way that offers nothing of value.
How bout we promote a culture not of holding hands. but actually giving players the tools to improve by themselves instead of doing absolutely nothing? U can still have a competetive game mode by actually giving players a push so that they atleast know what they are doing. atm improvement in the game is done by doing by trial and error. a trial and error culture that somehow makes it also incredibly easy to participated in ranked league. I don’t get why the basicis, not mastery or expert. but the basics are sometimes to be still learned in gold division?
How bout instead of git gud we say Get better u know where to look?
see no pussified kumbaja hand holding or anything like that. u can still critize and be as honest as u want but now the game actually offers something of value.
because this is what u get. threads in which power shatters. condi thiefs,normal thiefs entangled rangers and DH still after so many kittening nerfs and a year worth atleast of playing is still treated with the same complaints.
the resultof A-net throwing new players in the lions den and promoting this git gud culture.
U can still be emphatetic enough to atleast make a tutorial or bot battle mode. if that proves too much atleast put an ingame feature that links to pvp tutotorial videos qqmore, helseth etc.
atleast update the npc’s in the heart of the mists to elite specs or make a second set of npc with heart of thorns meta builds.
it’s kitten like this that kittenes off players in ranked. if u make a game that expects players to learn by trial and error atleast make it harder to play in ranked.
what build are u using there?
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vFAQJAoYhcMoyhFOwzB8RMQAYRBIAsAoswRIKUrhkYZA-TJxHABA8AAovMgG7PMwJAAA
There ya go!
thanx man
what build are u using there?
Currently playing/experimenting with the following builds in duels solely
Fresh Air Tempest
Marauder Arcane Staff Tempest
Marauder Fresh Air Tempest
Fresh Air Destroyer Tempest
General Notes
>Since the lack of healing power and water makes it hard to keep your health above 90 percent espically against single target dps builds I’ve instead opted to use rune of air on most builds to deal lightning strike damage every 20 seconds. Personally it made it much easier for me to keep up the pressure and even if u are on the defensive u can still chip away a bit of health till u get your cooldowns in order
> I’ve ditched diamond skin altogether unless u fight against comp that is majority condi damage because again keeping that hp above 90 against competent players or players of equal skill level to yourself is a no go. the stone heart allows gives u more sustain. when u need it at the same time. the sigil of cleansing and purging in combination with cleansing fire work surprisingly well.
>ether renewal is a decent other option to deal with conditions. I’ve used ether renewal on marauder fresh air staff cause i prefer aftershock to deal with projectile damage if i need it in a moments notice. if u stay away far enough condition builds aside from the condi chronophantasma shatter are not gonna be a that hard to deal with. ofcourse aftershock is not mandatory and u could Always use arcane brilliance/glyph of elemental harmony as a heal skill and cleansing fire. this was more a personal choice and in no way mandatory.
>glyp of elemental harmony is the most balanced heal skill imo in terms of casting time and heals given, if u are playing any other build then a healer/bruiser role.
would love to hear your opinons
