Guild Wars 2

I’m not sure what guild my good friend Prophet Saladin is in on DB, but these two guilds deserve respect and public recognition. Expecting more and more ‘jerky’ players as we advanced higher in tiers, I was so wonderfully surprised to encounter these two class-acts. At one point one of CASH killed me, but i could basically lip read his four fellows next to him, not attacking, saying “Dude, we have more honor than that.”

Win or lose, the reason I play gw2, and do not mind losing in wvw, is because of high quality, high-class, non-jerk, non-exploit guild such as CASH and BL.

May you live a thousand years, my friends.

Long live true gamers, CASH and BL

Start in lions arch, hit M for map, and see the 3 red X’s – one of those is the festive lionguard

you are taken to the MOST GORGEOUS pvp map ive ever seen.

You get to choose one of the classes from the snowman – support, heavy combat, or scout. All are amazing concepts with neat toys, and really make this map fun to fight on.

Unfortunately, there are achievements to this map.

I prefer scout for a few reasons -

- super powerful sniper shot if you hold down 4 button long enough!!!
– stealth
– you can SNIPE from stealth
– you can carry the Gift with stealth!!

So, gifts – at the center of the map is a gift that spawns. carry it back to your camp for 100 of 500 points needed to ‘win’. i put quotes around ‘win’ for reasons ill get to now:

So what did arena net do with this amazing map and amazing classes?

1) Wins count for absolutely nothing at all
2) Kills count for absolutely nothing at all

Yeah

So the achievements:

- you need 5 gift captures. Grab a swiftness potion thats right outside spawn, grab gift, stealth, score. this one took about 30 minutes to get all 5.

- you need 5 kills of the enemy flag carrier

This one is preposterous. You have to land the killing blow, which introduces a lot of issues

- You want your team to lose. capping gifts just prevents you from killing the enemy
– You want to let anyone on your team who has flag die asap. never help your teammates
– You want to pick up the gift, and run to the wrong base, and hand it to an enemy. then you kill them, especially if youre a scout who dropped it 2 feet from a guy, stealthed, and sniped him as he grabbed it
– If you do 99 pct damage, then some else gets the last shot, no credit
– *If you get the guy down to 1 pct health and he hits tilde to drop package, you get no credit* ( i am reporting people for this as preventing another player from accomplishing an achieve is bannable, not to mention they just patched this same issue in wvw on friday. i heard the excuse ’ i dropped it to fight back’. You were at 5 percent health, there were 4 of us attacking you, I disbelieve and rolled a 17 on d20)

just super, thanks anet. a pvp map designed specifically to encourage LOSING. Again, its not even a contest – WINS AND KILLS GIVE NO REWARDS.

also, when you down a player, NEVER finish them off, contrary to all common sense. it just helps them respawn a ton faster, right at the gift drop off, probably screwing over your teammates who are camping it to get this achievement

This concludes the premiere installment of Screng’s Angry Guides.

awesome man glad to have you in our community sir

I had the same issue on my first run, event stopped when i defended the gate. I got it to work the second try and here is how.

BARELY enter the green circle of the ‘defend the gate’ part. watch as the undead kill everyone, and then the two carts, and then just stand around. when i did it, i counted 8 left but 3 added from around the corner, so 11. Eesh.

Attack. my guard died, then Trahearn died, then i died. You respawn in the fort. I charged back out there past Trahearns corpse and died again, not even sure i got any. Respawn again in the fort.

This time, i just stood at the top of the ramp thinking – im glad i did. after 1-3 minutes (not sure) my guard suddenly reappeared, then shortly thereafter Trahearn reappeared. We attacked from the top of the ramp (trying to just aggro the closest) but they swarmed us. We finally won.

Just barely stand in the green circle and watch them die and kill the carts. Then just keep respawning inside the fort, stand at the top of the ramp not aggroing, and wait for Trahearn and the guard guy to join you before attacking ( a couple minutes to respawn or so). Pull them to you if you can at the top of the ramp. Repeat as necessary (i died 3-4 times total)

Forgot to mention – in addition to this massive thread going back 45-60 days (beta), Google has 244,000 hits for ‘gw2 cant buy gems’ and 233,000 for ‘gw2 cant purchase gems’. And no fix after 45-60 days. Thats probably 3-10 million dollars they lost. Assuming one programmer could fix it in 2 weeks (80 hours), they could have hired someone for $62,500 AN HOUR and broken even.

Card approval failed

[Incident: 121006-001918]

confirmed with both banks (debit and credit) that i had funds and that no fraud locks were in place. PayPal fails as well.

Im estimating company collapse prior to Jan 1. A company thats entire long-term revenue stream is based on credit card transactions, that cant process credit card transactions, seems like a definite bankruptcy. Ironically its the Support staff who refuse to lift these silly bans who are literally FIRING THEMSELVES. What an industry. Amazing that this problem was around in beta and not fixed. “Hey guys, we have a great game but no way to earn money off it – lets launch!”

ive searched the site (youd assume it would be under account info…) and googled for 20 minutes – how do you world transfer?!?
