I have gotten most of my 8 characters to lvl 5. I’m not in a hurry and I’m not going to stop playing all my characters for the sake of WvW progression. A lot of the enjoyment I get out of the game is playing different professions.
Not funny. Not good trolling.
IMO
Granted, obvious troll is obvious, but people still took the bait.
Well played OP.
Are the rotations random? No. The colours for each tier is determined by your ranking. The highest ranked in the tier will be green, second will be blue and third is red.
Will your server eventually be green? Only if you get a higher rank then the servers you are currently playing against or drop to the tier below you and have a higher ranking then the servers in that tier.
The definition of “grind” to me is repeating a task/action/activity over and over again in large, sometimes excessively large, amounts.
This does not mean that “grind” is a negative term.
Sometimes I enjoy putting on some music and grinding mobs for drops. Just get into a zone and go into autopilot. Sometimes I enjoy grinding dungeons or pvp for various rewards. Farming is also something I consider a grind, especially since I like to farm all materials I need for professions. But these are thing I enjoy doing, and enjoy about mmos.
So, yes. I said it. Sometimes I enjoy a grind. But if I no longer enjoyed a grind (such as a certain popular mmo’s daily system), I would stop playing.
The whole commander system needs a complete overhaul. Refund the 100g and strip the dot and introduce a better system.
Guild only commanders. Only people in the guild can see the commander tag. So guilds who run on a map can keep to themselves if they wish. This would hopefully reduce the number of commander tags on one map, where some refuse to take theirs off.
Full map commanders. Commanders who want to run a group with all players on the map. I think this should be earnt rather than bought because there are some people who lack the ability to be a commander but other players will follow them anywhere just because of that dot. There have been some good suggestions about how to implement a system like this in other threads.
PvE commanders. No, not the clowns that stand in front of LA bank all day. I’m talking about the few who run organised farm zergs in Orr. Let these guys buy a dot, but lets not connect these guys to WvW, since from what I have seen of the majority of people who have a blue dot is that they have no intention of ever stepping into WvW.
ROFL I go to sleep and we are all out OWNING… I wake up to see we got night capped and sent to last place… ANet needs to make actual region locked servers. Clearly for WVW only. I don’t care if you have North American friends. That’s fine. Guest to them for PVE dungeons. But this whole flimsy system for WvW is just plain bad.
I play on a North American server… During North American primetime we dominate. Then the oceanic guilds get on a NA server and we lose… I’m living in the twilight zone if I’m the only person who sees the flaw in this system.
I’m not completely bitter. I’m happy to see Yak’s stepped up in T3 during NA primetime and was destroying. Way to represent. =D There is no shame in losing to oceanic when you play on an NA server. We need tougher immigration reform! Vote for me!
And I woke up this morning to find DB has dominated the map. Its the nature of WvW, when a server has better coverage in certain timezones they will dominate. I don’t see this as a flaw in the system, I see this as how a international 24/7 game works. So, from the first 24 hours of this matchup, it looks like each server is going to have a period of coverage domination. That sounds fair.
Kain NA is wierd at the moment. We dont seem to have any trouble taking SM or whatever keeps we want, but then we go off and get in a stupid fight with SoS over a tower or something and FA just walks into a free keep.
FA is playing it properly at the moment, taking key points from Kain when the opportunity arrises and dropping a tonne of seige to make it impossible to take back.
This is all good though, another opportunity for Kain to learn how to play against a more turtly server. BG/Kain/TC was all about the open field battles/zerg v zerg and we are clearly a bit out of practise at the simple art of defending our own keeps.
I had a chuckle to myself when the Kain zerg crushed our 6 man assault on SM and retaliated by taking an unmanned Wild Creek, while FA took advantage of this and walked into SM and took it.
That skritt in LA who has been slumming in the sewers and wants to live down there. Who else but someone who is destined to be a nemesis would want to live in the sewers?
If Anet gave you every daily to chose from, people would just chose the 5 easiest ones to do every day. If players find they can do 5 without ever leaving the front of the bank in LA, thats what they would do. All your idea would do is spoon feed the lazy players, its just that simple.
True. But really, what’s so wrong with that? What is actually wrong with players getting the daily done quickly? As it stands now the only reasons most people leave LA anyway is to do the events with chests, various loot farmings and to level up characters, world completion…etc…how does that actually change anything? 2 of today’s objectives I wouldn’t have had to leave lions arch to do anyway.
Because then you might as well remove the illusion of choice and take away all the dailies except those 5 easiest ones that the majority would be doing.
The current ones promote playing the game in various areas and in various types of content. Standing in front of the bank in LA doesn’t promote playing much of anything.
Monthlies and dailies reset at 0:00 UTC, which for US west coast is 4:00pm PST. So, we are in March for all servers.
I’VE NEVER EVEN HEARD OF UTC UNTIL YOU JUST TAUGHT ME ABOUT IT.
I stand by what I said,
Resetting the Monthly before the First of the Month of March was
So Not cool.
Actually I thought it was very cool. I wasn’t expecting to start doing the monthly until the 2nd of March, due to Australians always getting things the day after.

An extra upgrade to SM Castle would be “Build an Airship”. It would basically be the twin of the one in the first part of the Arah dungeon and would have a dedicated waypoint accessible to the controlling team. To build the Airship, the building team must have max improvements on SM and use the entire supply store.
I would support this if you change “Airship” to “Starship” and have them perform “We Built This City” on the second floor of SM.
Why are you here? It says you’re on black gate, go to your own thread. You don’t belong here anymore. You ran away, remember?
MERC has been taking lessons from Logan Thackeray maybe?
This is a really weak move by these guilds, in my opinion. They lose a couple of weeks and go running to stack a server in hopes of winning again. I wouldn’t want these guilds to join my server, the moment it loses one week these guilds will go running to the next server.
Some unique sets of armour skins that can only be attained through WvW would be a cool reward and a goal to work for. And not just to buy with badges, so people will actually participate in WvW instead of farming jps.
I’m not sure if this would work, but GoM’s best chance for a change is to lose so badly that they drop to tier 8 and let SF move to tier 7. I’m sure the other servers in tier 8 would like this. Otherwise, you current match up is the only match up you will see for a while.
Name changes are in the works, just not available yet. When they are coming? No idea.
You will be able to purchase a name change with gems. The contract (can’t remember if that what it was called) has been listed on the TP with none available.
I know I am hanging out for this too. My mesmer’s name seemed clever at the time, but after 80 levels its just awful.
I’d be happy with my endless run of green loot if I scored some high quality mats from the large chest as well. At least then I will get something useful for my time and effort.
