Guild Wars 2

I play a ton of Ele, And the aurasharing frontline ele is MUCH more fun then a brain dead staff backline ele xD Just my opinion thou.

Its very obvious the group that can use the rotations better has a advantage. That is a great place to be in. Its not like a new player can just into the ball and expect to survive just as well as the experienced player.

I am very interested from what perspective you are looking at this?

For GvG’s this meta is the best it has been by far.
Also it allows Guilds of 20 – 25 to destroy big groups of 40+ if well played. Finally Gw2 is back at a place where organized groups are rewarded vs larger numbers.

Also I want to add that pirate ship was literally the reason most WvW guilds left the game.

Honestly this meta is MUCH better then the old Pirate Ship meta. In fact it is very fun to play. And ultimately the group that does better rotations and better targeting wins.

If Anet nerf resistance, condition damage will be dominant in WvW. And NO WvW players wants that to happen. (except condi roamers I guess)

Resistance may need some re balancing. But finally the meta is shifting into something good. I don’t want to play chase the back line anymore.

Nope I am on EU, and transferred to a EU server. I followed up with another ticket, and apparently they are looking into it. But all I can do is wait :/

On the 21st of December I bought myself 1800 gems and transferred to Seafarer’s Rest [EU].
I have transferred servers over 5 times by now, so I know the drill. The game closes and you wait a few seconds or minutes to transfer. Log on again and play on your new server.

BUT !!! When I tried to log on this time I got this message.

‘’Your world transfer is currently processing, If there is a high demand, this may take longer then expected. Thank you for your patience.’’

So obviously I waited a few minutes. Witch turned into HOURS, witch now have been 3 days. 3 DAYS !

I contacted support and they were kind enough to help me through repairing my client to see if that would help. It didn’t.
I also tried reinstalling my game. Didn’t help.

I am not sure what’s wrong, but 3 days for a world transfer is weird. It is too much. I have never waited longer then 5 min on a server transfer.

Is there anything I should be doing? Does anybody have any experience with long waits like this? I was hoping to spend Christmas playing. But it looks like this is going to take quite a while.

• Describe a typical hour for you in the Alpine Borderlands in the past. For example, What size of group were you running in? What kind of tasks did you run? What activities did you do?
  - I as a Guild leader and WvW Commander, run around the map looking for fights (enemy guilds). We don’t usually engage in any random events or boss fights. We simply look for fights. This can take a while sine the map is very big. Usually after a wasted 30 mins of maybe 5 min of actual fighting we leave for Eternal Battlegrounds.

• Compare your experience described above with a typical hour spent in Eternal Battlegrounds, if you went there at all. Does your style of play change between the 2 maps?
  - Yes. Simply put. In EB you can find fights much fast. The main problem is that EB is focused on larger fights where the borders were more Guild vs Guild oriented. Sadly many guild refuse to play in the new borders and are pushed into EB. In a EB map we focus on fights.

• Compare your experiences described above with an hour spent in the new borderlands.
  - EB has much more players and large scale fights.
  The new border is very large and very hard to find another group. More or less the new borders are empty at the moment. Many servers have gave up on them. Not to mention lower tier servers don’t even have the player base to fill them enough.

• Describe the nature of combat in the borderlands in the past. How have the new borderlands impacted this paradigm for you? What style or build changes might it cause? For example, knocking people off cliffs or into lava might play a more important role.
  - The old border allowed for a much more equal sided fight. I have not seen knocking
  off cliffs to be a guild strategy. At least not personally. The new PvE styled events do support more damage style builds for smaller groups. Also much more CC is run on builds since most specializations have much more CC in them. But that has less to do with the map itself and more the new class and specializations.

• In your experience, compare the time it takes take a structure or objective here, then it did in the past.
  - Depending on the objective it usually takes much longer in the new border to take something. Example: Fire keep, is very hard to take with a small group. The champ is hard to kill and the structure itself is hard to get into. Small scale guilds can no longer have part in taking keeps. In the past I have had fun in the old border with any size group 5 to 20. It was possible to take a keep with smaller numbers. And much harder to defend it. Witch was great in my opinion.

• How is the loot and wxp for you compared to in the past? Will it be able to sustain whatever you are doing? Did it take a hit, or was it improved? If you are planning to unlock an elite specialization, do you think you were helped or hurt in these regards? Do you think you could pursue any other in-game goals just by playing WvW?
  - The loot was never a concern to be honest. Hardcore WvW players don’t need fancy items. But both then and now it is impossible to play WvW without playing a large amount of PvE for important gear. (like ASC armor)

**How will the map change impact the long sessions (multiple hours) you spend in WvW?
- Definately, I cannot manage to play the new map longer then 1 hour.
The old border I could easily spend half a day.

• In 100 words or less, describe how the new BLs could be improved.
  - Remove PvE elements. (example: annoying champs, weird buff events, middle gather event??) Make the map much smaller. Maybe simply remove the middle area.
  Add way points again.

• In 100 words or less, describe how the borderlands work to a new WvW player.
  - In my opinion new players will not play the new border. Not without Commanders. And those are hard to find in the new border.

• In 100 words or less, describe how the borderlands work to a veteran WvW player that is new to the maps.
  - More or less we avoid the border. Sad but true. Unless you are on one of the highest tiers servers the border is very dead.

• Which map am I most likely to find you currently, if you’re on Gw2?
  - I will be in Eternal Battle grounds. Or a PvE map. I hardly play on the new border maps. After giving them a honest try, I just don’t like them.

This is all my opinion. The opinion of a Veteran WvW Commander and Guild leader. I can also speak for my guild members. Thank you.

Arena net MUST stop forcing players to play certain game type they just dont want to. It doesn’t matter how well you make PvE and Raids. Hardcore WvW players will always JUST want to play WvW.
Can we FINALLY start making WvW playable again?

At this rate, without communication from your side (arenanet), you will start loosing players very fast and possibly a whole game type. Because PvE players simply wont play WvW with these lackluster rewards.

Guild wars 2 just isn’t a WvW game anymore. Sad.

Hello there, i’m looking for a group to play dungeons daily with. To be exact speed runs.
Doesn’t have to be 100% hardcore, as I’m not a pro myself.
What I would like:
- usage of teamspeak
- full asc gear (minimum)
- use of good food
- knowlege of these dungeons (AC -p1,p2,p3/CoF -p1,p2/CM -p1,p2,p3/CoE -p1,p2,p3/SE -p1,p2/TA -for,up
Those are the dungeons I want to run daily.

Please contact me if you know of a group that needs a player.
I am an Ele and have full ASC gear with 25 agony resist (although I don’t plan on playing fractals more then casually)
My knowledge of those dungeons is fairly good, althou I am not a pro at speed running strategy and I will need some guidelines from the start ^^

Thank you !!

Altiera

Hello,

I am back, after buying the motherboard, CPU and RAM that you suggested.
I built the pc and installed what was needed. But for some reason the game is running even worse then before !! It’s unplayable

My graphic card is Nvidia geforce 9600 gt, and I installed the newest drivers already.

I understand the motherboard has a integrated Graphics card? And maybe Gw2 chooses to use that instead of my Nvidia? Or what can the problem be? How can I fix this?

Thank you alot I will take your advice. Hopefully I will be able to update soon.

Thank you for your answer
Do you think this will bring me up to atleast 20 fps in WvW fights with around 5o players?

And what bout this RAM instead ?

Location: Ruzomberok, Slovak Republic

Time of incident: Everyday, everytime I play (morning, evening it doesnt matter I am always having dc problems. Sometimes every 10 min, sometimes once an hour.) But I primarily play around 4:00 to 9:00 pm GMT+1

Game world: Vabbi

Description: Skill lag (anywhere from 1 to 10 secs delay) Big lag spikes, where 30 of my giuld members all DC at the same time (we talk on TS). Low FPS in zerg content

I am a Giuld WvW commander, and these recent laggs and disconnected, have completely immobilized our server in playing the WvW tournament. It’s unplayable and we are loosing big time thanks to it :/

Any sort of reply would be greatly appreciated

Dear ANet

I’m writing due to the frequent lag spikes and dissconects in WvW, specifically Eternal Battlegrounds and the Borderlands (EoTM isn’t that problematic for some reason)

I’m a Giuld Commander and love playing WvW. I’ve been leading for a few months and love thinking up new tactics to overcome huge number differences we have with other servers.

My server is Vabbi. It’s a small server, but I like it none the less. These problems completely demotivate players on the server to play WvW.
-On a normal day I usually get 5 to 10 dissconects !!

The problem ins’t with my internet since during the dissconects i’m connected to TeamSpeak and my browser is working. Other games I play never suffer from this problem. Many times we had massive dc’s in witch 20 players DC at the same time while attacking a enemy keep on the other side of the map!

What I’ve tried
- re-log
- restart client
- restart PC
- restart modem (internet)
- wait a few min and retry log in
- reinstall the game
- change my gw2 password (multiple times)
I also allways play on the lowest settings when it comes the graphics (witch I dont need to in PvE content)

At the moment it’s impossible to play.
I would be very happy to atleast get a response for now (that you are aware of this problem)

Comon issues include:

- lag spikes
- skill delays 2 – 10 seconds long
- constant dissconects (even in areas with low amounts of players)

The codes I got are:

code=42:0:9001:4375:101
code=7:11:3:191:101

I personally would be VERY happy if WvW would be comepletely postponed until these problems would be fixed. CONSIDER IT PLEASE !

Thanks in advance

The drops are completely random. Witch I think is incredible unfair. Since ANet decided to make a achievement track for collecting all the weapons. Basically you have to be LUCKY to get the collection achieve. You shouldn’t be having to trust rng for achievements.

I myself have opened hundreds of chests, so far I have 5 drops of the fossils. But like u guys I know people that opened 2 as many as me and to this day didn’t get a drop.

This is just broken

Basically what you want to try to do everyday, is daily and monthly achievements.
And do them all, so as for daily you can get up to 15 AP for completing both the PvE and the PvP ones, when you think about it that’s over 100 Ap a week
(also take into account that usually the dailies are stuff like jumping puzzles and dungeons, so that’s plus AP)

Ofc do other stuff aswell, but just doing this everyday can help you get there faster
and isnt that time consuming ….:)
