Guild Wars 2

Couldn’t they just implement a system of exchanging badges for stat changes like they do in PVE with unbound magic, but also make it applicable for ascended armor and weapons?

It’d also be cool if one could buy sigil and runes with badges and/or proof of heroics.

It’s all perspective, but for myself (98% of my time in WvW), changing ascended gear stats is not cheap, especially when the build turns out to be unviable, just not enjoyable, or you just want a temporary change for funzies. This problem can be compounded if you play multiple classes and game-modes (gvg, solo roaming, havoc, zerging) too. This is also has to be extremely discouraging for new/infrequent WvW players who enter fights with their PVE gear. No way are they going to invest in gear changes.

Sure I can buy exotic gear (have and do) with badges, but I know I will always be at a competitive disadvantage by not having ascended gear.

Ultimately, I’d love to see them implement invisible legendary-like armor with selectable stats that would be obtainable through WvW track or achievement(s). Seems like it’d take minimal effort on their side to implement.

Of course this doesn’t really solve the power creep issues or the problems with traits and elites that really ruins build diversity at the moment.

will it only be for “items” like banners? or also for MF buffs and stuff? :o

Anything that appears in the upgrade queue on the guild panel. So banners, MF buffs, unlocks, research levels, etc.

I wanted to get the Deep Cave upgrade for my personal guild, and I realised I needed the Research Level 5 upgrade for Architecture to be unlocked before I had the Deep Cave available for queuing. So I spent gold to get Letters of Commendation for enough influence for both the Research Level 5 and the Deep Cave.

However, now it seems like I won’t be able to queue the Deep Cave in time for the HoT launch. Does this mean I have actually made a bad decision and will have to forfeit the remaining influence I had bought? That sure seems terrible.

Anyway for ANET to make an exception and speed up just the Research Levels so that guilds can get the upgrades they want? Or it’s really just a sucks-to-be-me situation?

Just did the same thing. I did the Guild Workshop first hoping I could do both Arch Lvl 5 and Deep Cave at the same time, but alas I was wrong.

Perhaps you are correct….maybe he’ll repost to clarify his intent . It’s possible that I too often look for the good as opposed to the negative; but, that allows me to enjoy the game rather than be fated to a spiteful mentality. Regardless, I agree we did well to keep them busy. Not once did we run from a fight in Bay despite the numbers. Kudos to the DHers that stuck through it last night and those that will do it again tonight.

No, perhaps you are correct. I felt the need to defend DH because I saw a great effort last night by a lot of players and hate to see that diminished. I’ve had a blast this season and met some great people along the way (even opposing players). See you out there!

You’re doing a great job paraphrasing my sentiments. Keep it up, please!

Feel free to enlighten or correct me. What did you mean by your statement?

…literally melted or just simply ran away.
…I think you guys had to be pushing the siege deployment limit there!

Booo! Poor sportsmanship! Please remember any zerg you faced last night from DH were made up of entirely PUGS. Our commanders do AMAZING work for what they are given and we held our own with the players that could be rallied. This would be like the Buckeyes bragging they beat a local highschool football team. Either way, we really enjoyed ourselves.

I’m extremely impressed with DH (biased). With very few exceptions, DH has been very encouraging and optimistic throughout this season regardless of our wins or losses. Everyone has been extremely forgiving and patient with the influx of new players and new commanders. I feel like this season has really helped our player base develop a better sense of server pride. DH may get second place in this season, but they got first place in my heart! <3 DH!

Not sure he was trying to be a poor sport. Our small group did get our kitten handed to us on several attempts. But our commanders did well to keep up what pressure we could until a few more showed up. I personally had a blast and enjoyed the fights. I’ve only been playing for a couple months, but have been extremely impressed with the leadership and patience DH has shown. Here’s to an even more successful next season!!

I disagree. Statements like that are demeaning and meant to be demoralizing. Again, they had organized guilds (and larger numbers) going against pugs. Bragging statements like that are nothing but a show of poor sportsmanship. My analogy still holds ground.

DH put up a formidable fight, while trying to to recapture it’s Bay. Many times that DH did meet SF outside both keeps, DH ended up pushing them back (not running away!) into the Bay. The times we really got wiped were while we attempted to recapture (at gates or Lord’s room). I admit that we got wiped and wiped often, but DH did amazingly well despite the odds that were against us and I believe gave them a run for their money. His comments reflect quite the opposite, as if we are all a bunch of helpless cowards who hide behind our ACs. That is far from the truth.

yesterday was my day off and i enjoyed the battles for bay in dh bl at the beginning of SF prime time. i havent gotten to face the true prime time force SF has this week. but i have gotten to battle with star and cosa at odd times. both star and cosa are formidable, star a little more so, but i guess that can be expected with the turmoil in cosa.

I was on from 7pm PST onward and every group we faced on DH BL outside of your keep literally melted or just simply ran away. Was fun holding bay all night and good job holding garri…I think you guys had to be pushing the siege deployment limit there!

I tried to dance with StAR while they camped DH N BL camp, they killed me instead. I just wanted to officially apologize if my dancing was offensive to you guys.
