Guild Wars 2

MegaServers idea is very good in my opinion but this system will produce a lot of issues for guilds that are created only for big-events boss kills like Tequatl or Wurm. It’s not about time changes or or that guild update that will allow spawn boss when guild want and need influence and do guild missions. It’s about that guild like this need empty map to get ppl there and get rid of “randoms/pugs” that will not help at all. So in my opinion this system need feature that will allow guild or just players to create new empty instance of map and will allow to invite and bring guild mates there.

And why Guild World Event needs merits that are only from guild missions ?

They ‘might’ find a bit more competition now. Doesnt RG just run a 20-25 man zerg? A lot more guild groups running that way than there was a few months back. Not to say they will be competition, but there is more of it, so one can hope.

They run 36-38 most of the time in primetime – I don’t see the point fight vs them with that numbers for now.

Really? So how do you tell the difference between them and every other blob on the map?

Difference is that they are good players (from top guilds – I mean player that join other guild when RG disband) and they are all in one TS leading by one person instead of other blob that mostly consist of random players leading by blood Bah, you will see if you will play vs then and not with them. With that number they don’t have to do anything just brain off and follow the leader and all will be dead since most of the guild run by 20-25 and they are outnumber by 10+ RG and you can’t survive that spike by that mass. Farming bloobs as all other guilds do it’s nothing special but probably only one “challenge” for RG now. In Sunday we ran with 18ppl when they had 30+.

Nothing special. Even TA could beat INC repeatedly with fewer people,

I don’t remember that TA wipe INC even once.

Match-ups section was only one reason to visit “official forum”, so hope to see more ppl on Reddit in new year

Thanks [BuLL] for GvG/sparring today, was fun.

Thanks [FIRE] and [INVI] for GvG on OS Arena today. Was fun.

SM 1h battle was highlight of those 2 weeks fighting vs Desolation for us. I had to take a shower aftet this. Thanks FR for your distraction we could take advantage of inside!;)

Benyyy.1352:

Sorry for the quality of the printscreen but we were fighting NNF when all of the sudden our friends INC come to join the party… but I guess we are the ones who blob with 100 randoms.

Add some more drama there This exactly show that you don’t know what you talking about and you screenshot is just trolling. Dots on minimap ? Next time make zoom to see them.

And now the facts – referring to you screenshot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2zfJF_ytvU

And more may come if you want.

Another fact for this and previous week is that only one guild raid from deso that we meet was [EXG] rest is just blob with randoms.

Cheers

KingCraig.7651:

Would be really nice to fight INC or NNF on their own rather than have them both teaming up to outnumber us.

Would be really nice to fight Deso guilds instead of single massive big blob. Outnumber you ? lolz

Eniav.9064:

Haha nice stacking 3 guild groups and pugs against us that was rather funny tbh

And still less than you blob

Nemesys.7251:

so u all on fsp border will keep playing like that to lag all the border?

Ask [GoD], they unable to do anything without 100+ blob

Thanks for nice fun on EB today, over 1k kills.

" oh my hero "
sounds like a great achievement running with “guild-zerg” on EB against pug and tag 1000 of them ….
if U fancy killing me a 1k times 1v1 pm in game … if not then stop trolling
have nice weekend

25 guild players is “guild zerg” for you ? So if we are “guild zerg” then our oponent was “mega extreme super huge blob”. And no, no great achvement, it was fun reset raid after week with running and hidden Fort Ranik. So stop trolling and back to you borring sPvP or PvD.

Thanks for nice fun on EB today, over 1k kills.

Zord.6130:

Open field is part of WvW but we rarely get any as you mostly flee when you see us. Confirmed. Fact. kittenroaches’ speed is nothing compared to yours.

Yea maybe but when I see this:
http://imageshack.us/a/img823/3928/rgmw.jpg

http://imageshack.us/a/img51/8356/495v.jpg

I just turn around and laugh couse my opponent is so weak and need outnumber us 3-4 + times to do anything. More funny is that this group need to hide in tower and keep with ACs when lost 10% of ppl. Confirmed for every group like this on every server.

Zord.6130:

WvW is war. War involves using whatever means necessary to win, be it more numbers or siege support. You don’t use any of those, you just rely on your “skill” and PVT gear to accomplish what you do.

This crap again. I tell you why. After year+ in wvw most of the guilds are super boring with you PPT, “win” and sieges. They just want to fight for fun not for ppt. I don’t care if my server tick for 0, 100 or 600 ppt. But you need to spend more time in wvw to understand this.

Yesterday raid – add more than 1k kills to my Realm Avenger just in ~2h.

loled today when I saw AG blobed as Vizunah in last week

Unplayable today, lag lag and lag. I hope that the whole season #1 will not be like today.

and to INC U have very strong mele train and impressive numbers ( like in old days soviets army

Numbers ? Really ? We have 37 players in our roster – and most of the time we run with 20-25 players in WvW. I don’t remember when we had more than 30 online. So, impressive numbers is wrong “word” for me

Slightly disappointed that INC didn’t manage to fight us but maybe the next time we meet.

It’s hard to fight with someting like this most of the time: http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/5649/8amx.jpg
We meet few times in similar numbers, but most of the time you outnumber us by 10-15 and more + pugs. Take care guys, maybe next time

Boring week for me, most of the fights was vs blobs.

Thanks [RuNL] for GvG, was fun

Sin.4130:

We have got videos when you die by BT war in less then 10 seconds. 70 ppl in blob I saw only once in this matchup and that was at RoS side when you took SM few days ago, and half of this blob had [INC] tag

Amazing achievement, especially when you run in group 2-3 bigger About blobs – we saw them every day and fight against them almost always. Solo guild rides on BT ? Don’t saw this, maybe [None] sometimes. Borders almost empty, fun only on ethernal.

GG and GL in next week.

Our video from this week will be out tomorrow, going to link there if I don’t forget (anyway will be in our site).

Darkened.4076:

You missed the part where Coin wiped two servers at once.

And of course, were all ripped as f***

Coin wiped someone ? Coin was wiped You guys run like small rabbits, only fight when have full border behind you (read bloob) – when you alone, you just turn around and run so fast.

doh, again borrring matchup…

Linguistically Inept.6583:

- also; why was the lord outside of piken EB keep?

Because even our Lords prefer open field combat to cowering in a keep.

but the rest of your players were hiding on/behind the walls? leaving the lord to die, so heartless

Rest of players at that time ? They just sleep in bed xD

Thanks [PunK] for GvG was fun. We are now back on Piken so good luck with this matchup. Thanks all for fights.

And thanks Gunars for helping taking tower

http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/7562/gw041tc.jpg

We didn’t even know it was Piken at first, it was more just “Zerg, run!” we just assumed it was riverside, the golem was never going to escape anyway so just damaged the gate more, it was only after that we noticed it was a piken zerg and not a riverside one.

That was fun for us We killed all except that golem, and guy inside don’t notice enemy behind at all for some time. At the end he escaped, we don’t kill him or maybe some random do it.

So now it’s become a derogatory term to have big blobs? They seem to be darn successful. It might prove Piken’s individual players are better if they can win despite being outmanned, but they aren’t winning right now. Your personal 2v2 victories don’t get you to win until Friday.

I personally do not care about score since at the end this will be randomized in some way. There is no point for me to care about that since last matchups update. We (INC) always looking for interesting opend field fights. And in this matchup, it’s almost impossible to find that. From monday I meet only one single ride and only one time from RS side and that was probably [dw] guild, rest it’s just zerged-ac-keep-blob fight. Maybe you enjoy spending all the game time on AC in keep, we not. That’s why this matchup is boring for us.

1 picture says more than 1000 words
Here u get ur rating pikens 0 points out of riverside

cool, this must be a very boring morning, or maybe you like wvw without enemies

flowjob.7934:

Pikens should just shut up. They blobb more than we do. Here another example. 50-60 Piken for only 1 kittening T1-Tower, you guys are so awesome … NOT! You need 15 minutes, 3 trebs, 2 ac’s and 2 katas to take this tower. HAHAHA

I don’t know with action on this tower this was (couse there were a few of them – and I dont remember that we built others sieges that catas). There is some screen from our side:

http://imageshack.us/a/img9/4410/gw042pt.jpg

Seems that after lost bay you were very angry, you need a whole border to fight with 15-20 ppl ?

Mabaara Hia.7153:

you DO realize, that you both play on the same server, which is: Piken

And what about that ? If you think that I use it, think again.

I reported this exploit already to exploits@arena.net, My post was there only for show that there is something wrong with this, and some ppl (with siege experience ofc) probaby used this before – maybe not the best place to show that, nvm already deleted by moderators.

General Ragefist.3952:

If you never heard of strg + shift + h or that you can freely move the camera to look inside things

ofc, that shortcut hide interface. One way to do this is use external apps like camera tool or zoom unlocker.

Contiguous.1345:

Badges? I’ve got thousands of the kitten things. Is there some sort of use for them?

(I just KNOW somebody is going to tell me ‘you can buy seige’ )

You can buy ascended trinkets

Badges ? No problem with my guardian, yesterday 5h raid with my guild (25-30 ppl, eu T3) = 300+ badges. With rank chests, there are many more badges since they drop from chest as well.

Luna.9640:

I’m sorry to tell you guys but Piken probably wont be able to provide as many fights as before this and next weeks if we’re matched in future since many guilds left Piken and this weekend rest of bandwagon guilds that came from t1 servers moved away as well.

queue free, yay !

btw. I heard that 2 guilds left piken so it’s not really big deal, I think.

Veldan.4637:

KratosAngel.7289:

If it’s like 20 laurels and 250 or 500 badges for 1 amulet, then that’s completely bullkitten.
If it’s something like 10 laurels and 100-200 badges, then, that will be interesting.
Also, concerning the infusions, wait and see, hope there will be cool ones.

I think badge cost should definitely be 500+. I’m world rank 30 or so, and have over 2000 unused badges even though I already spent ~800. Since a lot of people played a lot more WvW than I have, both before and after rank got introduced, 100-200 would be a ridiculously low amount for ascendeds. Even PvE players would probably go for the WvW ones then, since doing the JP for badges would be faster than doing fractals / more dailies.

Should be less laurens, more badges (500+ even 1000+), already have 20 stacks of unused badges (5k) in my bank.

I can’t give any recommendation now but I always use latest drivers from nvidia (beta or whql) and when I see performance lost, I revert to previous drivers. Currently I use R314.22 WHQL that with latest game patch works just fine on my GTX 650Ti.

My question is quite different but i write it here. Is possible to earn all bonuses from WXP ? It’s matter of time or i will stick with only few selected ?

It’s nice, last guild event (2-3h) and i got 126 badges + 3 rares. Before patch i ended always with ~30-40 badges

Hello, I see that there is some problems with FPS on Ascalonian Catacombs after latest game patch. Before patch I had ~60FPS there, now when mobs spawns FPS drops to ~14FPS. Friends from party have the same problem here.

I see that this dungeon forced shadows to enabled even if i have set it to none. So this may be a problem here.

My spec:
AMD Phenom II X6 1045T
Zotac Geforce 650TI 1GB
8GB RAM DDR3

This is strange, one must spend gazillion gold in mf to get procursor other just bought 4-8 rares and got one ! This happened in my guild one spend like 60gold and got dagger precursor, other just bought 8 rares and got this same. I trying for ages but still out of luck.

Mr eX.3420:

ChyrosNX.1834:

Right-click does the following:

- Camera function upon drag-and-dropping
- Targets a new enemy
- Works like an “F”-key (ie, Attack an already targetted enemy)

I don’t think there needs to be an option – right-click should simply not do the last two things in this list, ever.

I agreed with you in 100%. But because in 95% of time in game i hold right mouse button I’d prefer lock camera with mouse and unlock only when mouse targeting is required (for example for AoE attack etc.) or simply click to lock, click to unlock and this may be configurable in options.

Target losing is horrible and this really annoys me too.

And more ridiculous is that when i target npc or friend or pet I can’t loose target so easly…

Strange, I just logged few minutes ago into game and received email from Customer Support with Ancient Karka Chest.

Why strange? Because I completed whole karka event chain and got chest and the end with rewards and now I got second Ancient Karka Chest (2 rares, 2 exotics – no precursors, accesory and 20slot bag).

Maybe I got this for my second character ? But I did not take part in the event on my alt.

Anway, thanks ArenaNET for duble reward

oh, it is, thanks for explain

When I’m out fighting, I have 3048 armor, when I’m in combat I have 2948 armor. No conditions, no debufs. It happens very often, can someone explain to me what happen here. Invisible debuf or what ?

ZudetGambeous.9573 you theory looks solid but why you assume that all players that drops precursors set it on Trading Post ? I think and I saw some of chat messages that some players save this for “better time” or for yourself. And some players don’t want to sell it even if precursor that they got is not for then – they want to exchange it for another precursors (I saw few messages in LA main chat on my server).

Trading Post is globally and after event in LA a saw around 10-15 messages with precursors.

I didn’t get precursor from chest (got 2 random exotic that i sold by 2g both) and I don’t complaining. After event I was a little bit frustrated but now after several hours I really don’t care about it.

This is random, this is life.

Cheers

I got drop from Veterans and Champions but only in small groups (not in world events – almost impossible to get enough dmg to get exp and drop).

Just retaken SM.
