Guild Wars 2

I think it would be nice to add in a reward track that would let you earn a gift of exploration from PvP/WvW. It’s something that I sit here and wonder why it hasn’t been done already.

• Unlocks after having completed world completion once
• Functions similar to the new living story reward tracks
• Still requires players to complete the content at least once
• Gives players who have done it multiple times/players who prefer WvW an alternative way to obtain it, letting the person play how they want

Overall I don’t see how it can impact the game in a negative fashion. It still lets players obtain it to the old way if they prefer, and it lets others obtain it in a way they prefer.

The only argument one could have is “less players will be on the maps”. Even then a portion of players who are doing world completion are typically there just for the hearts/poi/vistas and then they’re gone anyway. Those players already add very little if no value to the event chains going on.

Just food for thought, it’d be nice if this would get added though

I got a blacklion key, decided to open a chest and got two perm finishers that sell for 20g+

Just my luck

ANet lied to us.

They said we’d be getting the outfit next week, but I already got it.

Ok Captain, I’m going to have to ask you to hand over that outfit until next week.

But its mine now

Well done, a nice way to remember a great friend. Sorry for your loss.

Globe, is this your recording? I need to ID the toon taking hits in the capture.

Yes its my character in the video, I sent you an ingame mail about it as well on the day it happened. If you need any more info let me know.

For your viewing pleasure

Back to the toppppppppppppp

The game has once again become unplayable by practically everyone in my guild. This lag is unbelievable. It was going great for awhile there until the most recent patch. You guys are making it harder and harder for me to justify spending money on an expansion when I cant even play the game as it is now.

New video out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VghSwT0Zt94

I strongly recommend that everyone use the in-game report system to help make the game a better place to be. We take reports seriously and we appreciate the assistance of our community members!

I find this a bit humorous, i’ve personally reported people for going off on racist rampages in map chat and not a single thing was done to them. They continued to stream on twitch and still do to this day. I dont report people for many things but that one I felt was deserved.

The first punishment typically is a 72 hour suspension. Just because you see them playing later doesn’t mean they didn’t serve their suspension time.

Streaming every day since myself and others reported, highly doubtful they received a suspension. Not to mention checking the blocked list and seeing them on everyday just to see if by some chance action had been taken.

B u m p

Back up!!!!!!!!!!!

What I dont get is how can anet expect us people having these issues to pay for an expansion? We cant even play/enjoy the game as it is now lol..

Back to the top

8 pages, over 2 months and still no word on whats wrong?

Location: East coast NA
Time and date of incident (plus time zone): Every day, sporadically
Game World: SFR
Brief description of what you’re seeing: Major packet loss, people blinking/rubber banding around, skills not activating, chat delay, etc and random disconnections.

Why not all 3?!

Please I just want to say this one thing, make the content challenging by interesting fight mechanics. For the love of all that is holy do NOT adapt this into a “dodge or one shot” type encounters as this is one of the major things killing good content in the game.

In many other various games the raiding had well thought out fight mechanics driven by class roles, etc. – Its ok to do things this way, I understand you guys want to be “different” from other games, nothing wrong with that but it still doesnt mean you cant carry over similarities in content.

Make the content rewarding. I can tell you that if you produce a nice raid with interesting fight mechanics that gives 2g at the end people will rage. Look at long term time/reward investments – Most dungeons in the game have paths that get zero love simply because of this. This game already has plenty of currencies but think about long term progression, such as tokens that can be earned once/twice weekly and then traded in for something prestigious.

And so we’re back….from outer space!

Josh Davis.6015:

I listened to the entire VoD, I think this might be an opportune moment to mention that I will be enforcing the Guild Wars 2 Code of Conduct for the World Tournament Series at my own discretion, including punishments that can result in a player or entire team being ineligible to participate in a single or multiple World Tournament Series Events.

If you know who I am or how I’ve gotten to where I am today, you’ll know that I’m very passionate about Guild Wars 2 PvP, and I’m excited to finally be in a position to help drive a project like the World Tournament Series forward. Having been on both sides of the player/dev fence, I know that what we’re trying to do with the WTS is going to be a communal effort – meaning I’ll need your help just as much as you’ll need mine.

The first part of moving this project forward is to start treating your fellow teammates, competitors, and players with the respect they deserve. The World Tournament Series and all the associated events should be an exercise in community building and education, with new and veteran players alike getting interested, whether they’re participating or not. Players in the WTS effectively represent Guild Wars 2 as a whole, and toxicity will not be allowed to be a part of that.

So please, take this as a friendly reminder – you should always treat your fellow players in a decent manner, and in accordance with the Guild Wars 2 User Agreement and Code of Conduct. If you’re planning on playing competitively in the WTS, community events, or otherwise, you will be under additional scrutiny.

We will be releasing legal documentation on the World Tournament Series in the coming weeks, but if you have any questions in the meantime, feel free to contact me or create a thread on these forums.

Thanks!

So what about “known” players going off the deep end and being completely racist kittens? The player I have in mind served no suspension even when mass reported, and has been in multiple tournaments of yours.

Find a way to bring back tybalt pls, ty <3

DiogoSilva.7089:

All those changes are important because they fix the several flaws that GW2 has early game: the lack of a sense of progression, poor tutorials, directionless, forgottable rewards and jumpy story instances that forced you to level up midway, interrupting the flow of the story.

So far, this feature patch is great for new players, but, what about the veteran players? It doesn’t seems to offer much to make us stick to the game.

More information will be released next week about features that are more suited to veteran players.

Still waiting!

Back to the front!

Still looking for some more players. You can see the PPT hero hexiam in full action!!!!!

Banbot should be reported for impersonating a staff member.

As far as your situation goes, OP – don’t worry; even if you were running a “rigged” EotM match, it’s not against the ToS. People who say it’s against the ToS aren’t very well read on the ToS.

Who did he/she impersonate?

I think you should read the ToS yourself, since you seem to be unaware that it IS against the rules to fix matches.

We’re not talking about two sides ganging up on the third team, this is a guild attempting to control all three sides at once to avoid fighting and/or farm each other… and harassing people who don’t want to fix matches like they do.

I hope you do get banned, karma sure has a way of coming back to bite you in the kitten doesnt it? Let the blix farmers rejoice!

After internal talks we decided to open up recruitment for our guild again, so heres the run down.

Our goals:

We are currently looking to expand by roughly 5-10 more experienced players. We prioritize player quality over quantity. With that said we take in players of all skill levels as long as they can listen/communicate with us. We’re planning to start running a larger organized guild group than what we currently do to eventually get into GvG and help assist our server a bit better in WvW when needed. We by no means are going to abandon our playstyle of looking for fights, small grouping and solo roaming as this is something that still drives us to even play the game.

Requirements:

• Must represent the guild 90% of the time(exclusion personal banker guilds, etc.)
• Must be willing to learn, listen, and improve skill wise
• Must use TS3
• Must be willing to run guild builds
• Must be mature enough to take jokes
• Must have a max level character in exotic gear
• Must have a basic understanding of combo finishers/fields
• Must have a basic understanding of their class, their role in group fights and basic movement paths

Disclaimer: We’re not a guild of try hards, we play for fun and fights and are looking for others who like to do the same. If you’re a person whos going to rage after a wipe don’t even bother sending any of us a message.

Feel free to contact me via here or anyone listed above in game if you’re interested!

Saw this gem the other day.

Its taking you guys this long to realize anet doesnt know how to reward people for their time spent? I could’ve told you this ages ago

Is anyone at anet even taking a look at this? This isnt exactly a little issue here.

lordkrall.7241:

I will be satisfied when someone comes with an actual working suggestion.
Relying on expansions alone is simply not realistic for GW2.

Microtransactions is more or less the only way to get money, when sales of the game itself drops, which it always does for all products.

The fact that people have claimed that the cash shop won’t work for long since release would suggest that it clearly works much better than people keep claiming.

IF they release expansions, that will be a large ball of income, but they still need another primary source between those releases, seeing as the time it takes to develop expansions still costs money.

Seriously you don’t come across as stupid but how can you not comprehend that people aren’t dissatisfied with the idea of microtransactions themselves. The issue is with how they’re implemented and tied into practically EVERYTHING end game related. I’m all for them making money on armor skins, minis, dyes, clothing, boosters and mining tools blah blah blah. I’ll use this extremely tiny bit as an example of where its incorrectly implemented, hopefully this will paint a clearer picture for you

Tier 6 Materials

- Ways to obtain T6 materials.

• low drop rates from mobs
• farm gold to buy them
• use that terrible MF recipe to turn t5 into t6
• spend your money buying gems then converting to gold!

- What uses T6 materials?

• legendary weapons
• end game gear/items etc.

Take a look at the first list, the last thing mentioned should not be there. The reason it shouldnt be there because its the easiest/best way. Instead number one should be “low drop rate, with ability to farm certian mobs”. So now that we have that clear, lets delve a bit deeper into the actual core issue here. The overall rewards for this game from anything is extremely terrible compared to many other games. I have never played a game that was so stingy with rewarding people for their time spent. The lack of fresh content means you’re right, they need to generate money from something so it gets passed onto us in many ways that it shouldnt ie. t6 mats. This really goes to the core of the game, there are many things that should be changed, this game has had so much potential and its not living up to it at all.

A few solutions:

• An expansion, giving content that is new/refreshing
• New dungeons with actual challenging boss mechanics
• More gem store skins, weapon skins, funny things
• OMG HOUSING AND HOUSING THINGS
• More account luxury items in the gem store
• New living stories with more than one path to follow
• Increase the rewards for time spent

Before your retort I just want to say I could honestly go on with this for hours, hopefully this gives you at least a little bit of a better insight at ways/things that could overall improve this game for the better.

Im Mudbone.1437:

…they want you to bust out that wallet where drops are guaranteed.

If you’re buying Black Lion Keys, it’s not even guaranteed…

Its not even that, they want you to buy gems then convert that into gold. That truly is one of the biggest issues of this game.

Very sad to see you go, btw i’m still waiting for my tacos.

I dont mind the changes but quite frankly it’d be nice to see this stuff in the patch notes.

I think raisin face didnt make it

lol funny how one of the “big name players” of the community can still go on racist rants in map chat with no punishment and now they’re featured in this lovely scrimmage.

Hello Duke,

From what I know from my friends in your server, BG is still recruiting and has had several small guilds transfer over for WvW in the last 7 days. BG has the widest and deepest coverage now vs JQ and the PPT scores show.

I am not complimenting nor condemning BG, just making known some facts.

Also, besides ZDs in league, BG has outsmarted JQ and SOR by recruiting dozens of small PVX guilds (vs big WvW ones favored by other servers) to ensure a >80% chance of winning in league and after season. Those guilds are still in BG.

Chocpudding has done a tremendous job in the recruitment drive. Kudos.

FW

BG isn’t doing any guild recruiting at the moment. We sure as hell aren’t paying for anyone’s transfer costs either.

Stockpiling that warchest to buy all of vizunah for season 2 huh?

Without a doubt its sad this section is going away, i’d like to thank everyone from BG/SoR for the awesome fights over the past year. Much respect to you guys.

At least Anet had standards the Mods had to follow. With fansite forums, players themselves do the moderating. So if a fansite Mod had grudge against, say Black Gate, he could restrict them all.

Yes because ANET had no biases….

Prove they have biases, if you would. When you don’t, I’ll be over here, watching you not prove anything.

Also, nice bias.

Considering this known spvp player comes into wvw and goes off on racial rants against our Chinese players fairly often and still hasnt been banned i’d say they are biased. I might even have a few screenshots of it somewhere.

ofc this doesnt pertain to the forums, but they’re most certainly biased.

Its absolutely mind boggling how they thought this would be a good idea. Are you guys intentionally trying to ruin your game?

We got soul power.

SoR will be broken into 100 pieces. SoR will be turned into dust. The excuses are already starting. I’ll take you kitten to and kitten him with a kitten into a kitten and then kitten him. I’ll kitten this and kitten that. Now go kitten your excuses kitten.

It’s good to know your personality is just as dirt as your commanding, Molasses Muscles.

not gonna lie that made me lol a bit.

Sorry that fun 2v2 got interrupted CNB @ RQ, it was fun while it lasted

That didn’t last long lol.

SFShinigami.2015:

Compared to the other two, JQs presence on the forums is limited to a much smaller portion of the population. Myself, Cuddles, Fuzzy, Tarkus when he gets meowy, a random Polis, Mancing Queen, Wok and Ben, and DeWolfe are about it and half of us just joke around all the time.

back to your cage right meow.

Fight club mag windmill! Got plenty of SoS and mag, zero JQ!

map has a queue, sat in it for about 10m then gave up.

Good fight to the EP warrior @ third floor SM, was fun.

Tell your buddies to stop streaming/publicizing it on twitch then too, we all know they wont get suspended for it.

Josh Davis.6015:

Thanks for the lists, folks. Sent a bunch of these off to the team.

Gonna suspend your buddies for streaming/publicizing the chaos storm mesmer exploit on twitch?

Seigfried.5938:

Good job SoR, this is what your double teaming with JQ lead to – JQ wins. Honestly, I would rather have SoR winning than JQ, which just relies on a large number of PUGs on all maps.

This post is pure sig worthy. I am absolutely lost for words.

dem JQ pugs too strong
