Guild Wars 2

i can’t standing on 1 spot and spam auto-attack on the boss = too hard

right?

Kill Momma.6127:

Let me show Anet what Teq looks like atm. This was last night, and I stood there for 30 mins. No one showed up so I logged off. I needed that event to end so i could do map completion for the heart next to it. So ya I dont see how your going to get 80 people there now…

looks like you were in an overflow map…your server has too many people trying to kill Teq it seems…

nope, pretty sure everyone is busy farming the invasion…have you seen the size of the zerg in each overflows?…

looks like a learn to play issue….hmmn

Players: hey Anet what do i have to do with those leftover event token, they are useless and they are taking up my bag and bank slots.

Anet: delete them

Players: awww what a waste

NOW

Players: hey Anet what do i have to do with teh token i have so many left overs

Anet: you can now vendor them, earn yourself a little gold

Players: (nerd-rage on the forum)

in my opinion it should of been Evon that won, ive seen more evon supporter then kiel so how the hell did kiel even won? out of every 10 players i saw its like 3-2 of them supported kiel. this totally smells fishy and Evon wasnt what many peopl think he was. The guy really supported Lions arch, Read his background story. He risk his life to protect Lions Arch from Ash legions assault. Kiel never did anything except just pop up in story and do nothing.

nah, it’s just that Evon supporter yells louder…like a bunch of fanatics

cuz we really wanted something good and new. Kiel is getting Assassinated tonight. =)

atm i am really worry about the safety of the anet employees, should we increase the security measure around the area of anet headquarter?

it looks like these Abbandon fractual fanatics and Evon supporters are serious..

anet probably did not expect Kiel to win, so they did not make one for Kiel….lol

looks like anet thought Evon was going to be the winner, so they made a voice file already

lupercaleb.6041:

the majority of the community obviously didn’t play the original guild wars and are all bandwagoners who think the 2 in GW2 is just a dragon

Or they arleady know what happens in whit abbandon and now want some new lore that is as quoted by devs stongly attached to gw2 lore.

the guild wars 2 lore sucks though compared to guild wars 1

go back to Gw1 then..see ya

look at all the mad charr and mad Evon supporters…accept your defeat gracefully.

eh…..guesting?

the real disaster?

the real players rage quit because of the queue, the lags, and the idea that the content they love playing will be removed after 4 weeks.

Gibson.4036:

What we need is some serious organization over this issue. Are people upset enough to really do something about it?

What if guilds and servers got together and organized a “No more temp content pressure!” demonstration in game? Could be a mass gathering in DR, or perhaps an agreed blackout date where people don’t log in for that specific day.

It would only take a portion of the player base to send a significant signal that this kind of thing hakitten a threshold. A dip of a couple hundred thousand players on a weekend day, or enough people standing in one spot on countless overflow servers.

Then again, maybe, like poeple are fond of saying, there’s only a small minority of us here on the forums who are really upset by this kind of thing.

We had hundreds of players on reddit urging arenanet not to remove SAB from the game…that worked out great, right?

this is a milestone in the gaming history

while other game companies trying to add fun content that is permanently accessible to every players, Arenanet removes fun content after every 4 weeks.What an innovation!!!! They certainly deserve a medal for achieving this.

they won’t make the gauntlet permanent just because a few thousands of people on the forum requesting it , don’t waste your effort, remember SAB? i think they have learn nothing about what the players really want.

4 weeks, non-instanced, queues…i think i am going to skip this event entirely… some of us can only play on the weekend for few hours you know ? Anet…

GG

i guess i have to vote for Kiel now, so i get to to watch those condescending Abbandon Fractual supporters QQ if Kiel wins.

thanks OP for giving me another reason to vote for Kiel, your tears are delicious.

guards and keep lords start droping t6 mats

nothing significant to see in the blog post actually, more like a series of hollow soundbites " we want to improve the game, we will like to add more things in the future.."

very hard for me to get hype up when you don’t give us any ’ specific’ features or contents are going to add.

they need to put “unique” reward in the game, not just rares…rares is like the new greens now, too easy to get.

sad to see instigator go, but his story is explained in the Contractually Obliged mini story instance. so i am ok with it. The spawn rate for the new defend the camp event seems fast enough, and the density of the mobs is nice too, now if you can only tone down the damage of those kitten karka abit…

As much as i hate the skelks nerf , the dev does have a point though, i am actually surprise that Anet let the instigator farming to go on for so long…I personally made 230g just from casually doing the event.

For the past two weeks, we sometimes joke about it on the mapchat : Wow, they haven’t made the chest account bound and can be complete only once per day? that does not sound like Anet.

Remember the Mad king’s labyrinth? the chest was changed to account bound soon after people start farming it. So in general, i think anet is on the right track here with the event chain on Southsun(instigator). I really think the concept of giving 200% magic find boost is an excellent idea, it encourages players to hang around in the area. I really hope Anet can apply the same concept to the other zone.

about the drop rate change, i think it’s just RNG at work.

400 magic find

last night before the patch i can get like at least 10+ armored scales in 30 minutes but little amount rares and exotics.

After the patch, 4 armored scales, 5+ rares, 2 exotics…

And apparently the group i am farming with have no better T6 mats drop rate, but they don’t get as many as rares as me.

i am not sure whether to call it a nerf to drop rate or not.

I don’t think Anet is against farming, not anymore.

I used to think that Anet is against farming, but then here comes the Secret of Southsun Cove, which anet gives you a 24 hours 200% MF boost, and several repeatable and profitable events. It almost feel like Anet want you to farm, happily.

and I have been enjoy my 200% MF boost so far…and those T6 scales and bloods from sharks and skelks.

so maybe, they are just against people intentionally letting Lyssa remain contested so these people can farm all day.

I am also experiencing the same issue, it only started a few hours ago, my game just keep crashing every 10-12 minutes. I am not very computer savy so any help would be appreciated.

score update, end of SEA (taipei time 1:44 am)

SoR pretty much neutralize JQ’s SEA advantage.

score update (Asian Prime time)
A lots of great battle on JQ BL…it’s was epic to witness [IRON]+ other SoR guilds fight team Waha

i must said, as a JQ militia, IRON is pretty scary.

Score update, oceanic prime time ( 8:46 pm, Melbourne)

interesting ppt for SoR

score update.

score update, may the Six watch over JQ

Another rough week for JQ…

kevinskyrider.3271:

I think we all understand JQ’s current situation because we’ve all experienced it at some point. At least try to remain respectful.

Ya guys, it could totally be worse, we could have people dropping flame rams everywhere and smashing our golems….. oh wait…

i thought [MoG] are JQ guild..i saw that Rocket guy commanding in JQ BL few days ago.

Cerialkilla.3571:

Man What time zone is before this is it europe? I get off work right now every day and come home and we are ticking at 100 or less on JQ. Then I was online for 3 hours on sor bl and we were outmanned for 2.5 of those hours. where the hell have all the people gone!

Since I haven’t slept for quite some time heres my blury recap. Asian/Sea timezone we had a ppt aroud 360 average (had the lead for all of sea timezone and Oceanic for that matter). One of the sea commanders in the map kept asking for a Euro commander to pin up so they could sleep. Never happened. 5 hours later same commander and alot of the same players are still on and trying to turn around a 20 point tick. Its like Euro didn’t even turn up and BG turned up with extra numbers to cash in on the smaller numbers than usual. Thats about all I can remember but thats coming off some 36 hours without sleep.

Here’s my recap, at about 3:45 am -5:00 am Australian Time. The ppt between JQ and BG was close, but tipping toward BG’s side.

JQ BL: we had a commander from [MYTH], the last thing i remembered was BG took Dawn and was attacking Greenbriar. [MYTH] Commander decided to trade a upgraded Greenbriar(close to complete fortification) with Dawn, now occupied by BG, we had about 8-15 players, PvDooring Dawn.

BG BL (or SoR BL, can’t remember): [SF] held the spawn tower, planning to take Bay it seemed.

EB: we lost the Castle, someone was yelling ‘JQ is Doomed’ ‘Time to transfer to BG’ on team-chat. Cloud Fly was asking NA/EU commanders to lead because it was close to 2:00 AM on Taipei time and he had to go to bed. BG were attacking Duros, there were less than 10 people trying to rush there, we were wiped on our way there.

Definitely a rough time for JQ, hope we can do better for the next few days.

Depending on the Map. Here are my experience on Jade Quarry server

Queensdale and Wayfarer Foothills are very busy, but Charr and Asura starting area has less activity than those two.

Harathi Hinderland is very busy, it has one of the best meta event here.
Sparkfly Fen, Bloodtide Coast are alright.

Iron Marches. Fields of Ruin, Timberline Falls and Lornar’s Pass, these four maps are usually ghost town even on server like Jade Quarry. Stil, you will see guilds doing guild mission here from time to time.

I have not seen the ppt like this for a while….seriously, it’s like the entire JQ and SoR wvw population have vanished in less than 3 days. I feel like i am being placed in a T7 NA or T1 EU server where you have a significant population imbalance.

gratz on the win though, BG :P

so sieges don’t despawn after 30 minutes? that’s weird, on JQ all commanders always want them to be refreshed for every 30 minutes.

Jeremthedevil.4793:

they buff the war …and now elem are useles …great, I remember that War are overpowered with one hundred blade if they have the good build ( I have a war in my pvp team with a build dps and with 2 strike he take down other players

warrior overpowered in spvp?…right….

eles are grasping straw now they’d say anything…lol

GG Anet. No offence here but if Anet decides to go through this change, I have a better opinion for you,REMOVE ELES COMPLETELY. One less class to balance, less QQ, less headache. It is the WIn Win situation here. Oh well, time to un-dust my thief…

Hey look, it’s proof that this guy is just a hotjoiner.

Oh look, it is a prof that proves nothing….

You just implied that ele is worse than thief because of that one change. Enough proof for me and I’m sure everyone else with any sense of logic.

Sry, I never said anything about Eles is worse than thief because if that one change. What I want to say is with that changes, Eles becomes the worst in term of mobility. And if you can not even dodge with RTL, you can see Eles coming from far away and dodge backward,how hard could it be,huh?Anyone with half brain can do this.

Would you rather walk to your enemy then?

Oh and you did imply it, you implied it quite abit.
“GG Anet. No offence here but if Anet decides to go through this change, I have a better opinion for you,REMOVE ELES COMPLETELY. One less class to balance, less QQ, less headache. It is the WIn Win situation here. Oh well, time to un-dust my thief…”

I have no idea how you can interpret my post into Eles is worse than Thief. We are cloth class, low health pool, in melee combat all the time ,the only way for us to defend ourself is constant moving, much like thief. Oh wait thief has stealth,so he can disengage at will. At here, I only compare on the disengage ability combat, no more, no less. With the upcoming RTL change, Anet just completely broke the class. So I suggest to remove Eles, at least I don’t have to see my favour class everything I log in but unable to play.

“No offence here but if Anet decides to go through this change, I have a better opinion for you,REMOVE ELES COMPLETELY”

You basically said here, and I quote you verbatum, that without 20 second RTL elementalist will be a useless class that should not even be a class and should be erased. Please read your own text next time.

Do you really read my post carefully before suggesting such thing?“With the upcoming RTL change, Anet just completely broke the class. So I suggest to remove Eles, at least I don’t have to see my favour class everyday I log in but unable to play”..?

you just prove ele is a 1 trick pony class, gg.

too all the heart seeker spamming thieves out there, you have a lost partner here.

so ele are now like everyone else? what an outrage…

Score update…..

0.0 already hitting 70k point on reset day?

Star Ace.5207:

It was never that powerful, just a fun skill to stack. I won’t sacrifice my condition build over this change, but have to mention that I do use my condition/confusion build on PvE quite successfully-this basically makes my build weaker on PvE, so if it looks fair to WvW players, understand that it isn’t fair to those who rarely touch WvE (you may reply: “confusion is meant to suck at PvE! It’ts only PvP, why are you using it in the first place?” Because I can and want to-it’s fun.)

I have nothing against the developers, but I can’t agree with this change being good for the game-if it so bothers its victims, and it’s still “not fun” to some players 1)just separate WvW from PvE then (I actually thing that is not key, confusion was OK) or 2) let new players go through a strict WvW tutorial in which they are inflicted with confusion, tooltips and everything, letting them know/figure out how to counter it.

No offense, but it does encourage mindless play, and that is indeed a pity. Confusion was one of the few abilities with a semblance of “shutdown” in the game . Attack, and be punished. Either cleanse, or wait for the condition to die. (And/or press Esc to cancel auto-attack, which I assume some newer players may not know.) It really does make Confusion way worse than poison/burning/bleeding. If sometimes people with high vitality did not care about those 3 unless the damage was rather high, they will care much less about attacking while being Confused any more.

Only good thing I see from this change is half damage from the very few enemies who stacked confusion in the PvE game (which were also rather easy to counter, save for the Champion Wizard at Arah’s gate, since he tended to spam it over and over when angry at someone.) The poor Southsun Cove Drakes were nerfed, I guess. :P

Much respect to the developers, I just don’t see how Confusion was that “uber” condition in the game that needed “serious attention”?

(It’s rather ironic, because if you apply the same logic-“nerf everything that some players complain about as OP”-you would have to nerf the whole darn game, as all Profession forums are crammed full with comments about how all other Professions other than their own are “OP” in this or that way. Many players are bent on having their way, and having everyone else but their favorite Professions nerfed.)

Mesmers are still a strong Profession, but note that those conditions build ARE fun to play to many of us. I just can’t force myself to go full direct damage, and most probably won’t and stick to what I’ve been doing effectively for a long while-at least for the sakes of playing the game my way-the fun way.

Who knows, maybe they know something I don’t, I just never saw Confusion as overpowering my way over the PvE world like many Berserker’s builds would. Thus, if anything, they should have changed the stuff that can occasionally be too strong, and given the theoretically less strong options (non-direct damage) more room to thrive in the community. I suspect this will lead to many MORE “direct damage is the way to go” moving forwards, which will indeed be very annoying to read/hear.

pretty sure the changes will affect spvp/wvw only, they are splitting skills in pvp and pve now.

JQ doing fine without EMP? just need to look at the ppt right now, 120 during reset night.

Without EMP, JQ’s won’t even able to compete with other 2 servers during NA time slot. it is true that there are other guilds out there, but none of them have EMP’s numbers.

stop playing….it’s as simple as that

I’m not sure how long they will be able to sustain this though. Their Achilles heel is a AAA MMO targeted to a mature audience. The Disney stuff might be tolerable for awhile but; it’ll get dumped really fast. Your average MMO gamers is over 30 and is demanding mature content.

HOORAY! Another jumping puzzle!

And this time it looks like it’s designed for 4 year olds.

Welcome to what is turning into Jump Puzzle, a platform game.

It;s a great April fools joke from the devs- you thought you were playing a MMO with some maturity and intelligent gameplay? hahahahahah fooled you! We’re one of those platform games that came out 30 years ago!

Nice rewards- I’ll ask the neighbours to borrow their 4 year old so he can rack up the baubles for the weapon skin.

haters gonna hate.

obligatory responses:

A) ahhh more jumping puzzle?
B) “i hope they fix/balance the game first, stop wasting time and effort on this kitten”
C)no pvp update/fixes? i quit
D)no WvW update/fixes? i quit
E)more grind? i quit
