Guild Wars 2

Drayos.8759:

i mean Guild wars 2 by far is the cheapest investment of MMOs…

Rift: From 0$ to 37.49$ if you want all the classes with the more expensive pack
The Secret World: 7.95$ the basic edition to 35$ the massive edition

Not by close man, not by close….

Sorry but no.
Yes, designers are doing amazing work. And this work was destroyed one minute because of someone making a terrible marketing move. They should blame those responsible inside their own company. They are parts of the same company and the company is blamed as a whole.

I feel no pity here. This is bussiness. The company failed and company will take responsibility as a whole.

Glad you support the harassment of devs that had absolutely nothing to do with this. Shows a lot about you my friend.
I’m glad the feelings of those that have created GW2 means less to you than an extra 10 dollars.
How immature.

The designers are part of a company that have all to do with this.
And the feelings of the developers means less to my that my own feelings when that company made a move that makes me a third class client in comparison to a new client.

My money and support over three years means less to them than the 50€ of a new player.

That’s my problem, who hurt first the other feelings, the company with the price policy or the customers with the reaction.

For f*** 75€ (due the need of an slot) i could purchase Pillars of Eternity, Witcher 3, and Dragon Age Inquisition….

Keep your gear up to date, position yourself cautiously and you should do just fine.

That’s in the rare cases that you find someone to fight with in EoTM, 95% of time is PvD

Renn.8241:

I was wondering if anyone reading has done so.

Yep,

Pre-EoTM a Mesmer and Elementalist to 80 in non-prime time hours
Post-EoTM a Guardian, Necro and Engie from 20 ( with the aniversary gift) to 80 in a ridicolous small amount of time only in EoTM eternal karma train.

Flunk.4703:

- What currency is used to buy gear

Tokens from daily and badges of honor/Ectos for Ascended jewelry, badges of honor for Exotic equipment and the rest is the same

Flunk.4703:

- What changed gameplay wise?

Nothing

Flunk.4703:

- How and where do you obtain the gear nowadays?

Exotic Weapon and Armour from crafting is the only upgrade

pupi.2465:

Open World PvP, thats it! Yeah i know “omg another of those threads”, but we need it, at least, will be something more for players to do.

Please if you want to gank people go to the WvW maps and at least work a bit for it, hey there you even find upscaled people to troll.

Just beware of the zerg.

lazycalm.5186:

I wanna ask you Elementalist players, what is your experience with this profession?

Its a great experience… as support within a zerg and with staff and with a semi bunker build at least (if you like it ofc), as glass cannon is a horrible experience.

Outside of that in my experience is a broken class.

lazycalm.5186:

What can you kill and what can’t you kill in 1vX scenarios, is it worth to play even after the 15th of April patch?

1vs1? maybe a defensive guardian, or a engineer. or even a ranger if you have the right build (not a staff one), 1vsX nothing.

lazycalm.5186:

Are you skilled?

It’s my main and i known well how to play it, skilled? i only play WvW and play it a lot but im not a lightning fast reflex guy.

lazycalm.5186:

Can you beat other skilled players as an Ele?

Normally i can’t, but maybe is due the support build that i use 99% of the time (staff celestial support ele)

As i told you before, this is not a server A vs server B thread, it happends and everyone known that but that’s not the point of the thread.

Just want to known if there is any oficial posture on this because of the WvW adulteration, if this is allowed, if it will be punished or just ignored.

From the last two matchups in WvW we saw first Vizunah Square pacting a result with Piken Square against Seafarer’s Rest and this week again Vizunah Square pacting with Jade Sea against Baruch Bay.

I only want to receive a feedback from ANet to know the official position about agreements in the WvW results and the adulterated competition we get from those agreements.

Pelease, this is not a server vs server thread, only want to known the oficial position about it, because i like the tournament idea, but hate it in the current form.

Romek.4201:

this guyz troll you^^

sfr will be first – its the only server with US Players and best population from all eu servers

just look here:
http://mos.millenium.org/

they already first in eu

Why in hell you insist in liying.

Vizunah Square, 36 weeks first, 16 weeks second, never go under second position.
http://mos.millenium.org/servers/history/16

SFR, 9 weeks first, 13 weeks second, 5 times third, the rest under that point, till for example 12th position.
http://mos.millenium.org/servers/history/9

This week we are only first because they put Viz versus a lot worse oponent and SFR vs 3rd and 4th and the math put us ahead.

Stop trolling yourself the people to go to SFR under false premises.

Romek.4201:

SFR will win the League so when you want the archievements and the mega cool finisher you should transfer there – naow

Ohh, you are wrong, Vizunah Square will take that merit for sure (32 weeks first and 16 second vs 9 and 13 os SFR).

Romek.4201:

SFR has big WvW population and you can PvDoor there all day running brain akitten a zerg while watching tv

Well, after the 2h queues for sure you could try to PvDoor as in any other server you could try it but without the 2h wait.

Romek.4201:

there is plenty room for you, you and you NO Q

Great, an Elona player that knowns the queue of SFR, but you are wrong, we have queue.

Pd: What i really miss is that long time ago SFR have a great wellcome for any WvW player, it’s a pitty that due queues and bandwagoners these great wellcome is lost.

Neeho.3859:

Or you could lower queue gates, make it more painful on full servers to force them to transfer to less populated servers. WvW servers can;t handle the lag already as it is, 2 birds, 1 stone.

Ohh, great idea, with only one stone you could kill half the players of the most populated servers and force them to left the game because you give them two choices:
a) Withstand unbarable queues of several hours
b) Left the servers, clans and comunities that maybe they are part from more than a year, ahh, and pay money/gold to left that servers.

Yes, great options, the problem could be that a lot of people would choose a new third option:
c) Left the game (or at least stop playing it).

To the OP, the problem of one big faction if that a lot of people choose their server for the WvW comunnity, i’m mostly a pug, but i pug with commanders i known from months of WvW, share voice server, etc… and i like that. A gigant WvW side with thousands of people that would be very dificult to fight with the people you knwon is not very appealing to me.

Jski.6180:

Your last post was 3 months ago i think your views are not as useful as thoughts playing the game on a more constant time.

Please, check the Spanish forum next time you want to make any aseveration like this.

Jski.6180:

WvW adds are soo nice to have now you can get gear to use in wvw with out needed to run pve all the time. At the same time the ability to chose how you get stronger in wvw is very nice.

stronger in Pvp? you get ascendant items in pvp?, i want some of the same you are drinking please

Jski.6180:

So far i can see every one and every thing that i need to. Beyond WvW they added in a lot for the living story a lot for the daily drops from world bosses. This may be the best patch they have put out to date.

For Pve player i would say nothing about it, i didnt put a foot on Pve, but for WvW is a joke.

Well, what could y say about a WvW patch that we get said be a “expansion” worth of content and only have a new WvW kill grind to get pasives on siege damage and supplies and didnt solve any of the current lacks of WvW like the need to grind Pve for Ascendant items if you need to be on equal foot.

And the best, a patch that crashed WvW and left us without being able to play, well i’m sure that instead one aditional month to test the “patch” they would need another month of delay seeing the results of only one aditional month of testing…

Btw: Anet, you have realy any tester or they are a Myth?

If i say anything about it i’m sure i would be banned for bad lenguage.

1. They’re not allowed to alter such information, because they’re being checked by more than one company. If they altered their own information there would already be a case about it. So no, don’t tell me that the information is altered.
2. I’m seeing people EVERYWHERE.

The game is not dying. Snap out of it.

For sure, and thats the reason under the numbers in third independent sources….

If you take for example Xfire you could find a non stop raising in the numbers of players… oh wait…

http://beta.xfire.com/games/gw2

And now you could shout about Xfire being a non valid source, but please when you make it put a better source of number of players (and not the Anet load in the servers btw)

Hmmm… NO

I will play only WvWvW only for fun as if there were no tomorrow till the moment i would lag behind, then (or before if i found any green pasture) i will be out.

Next thing to do, give a try to Mechwarrior Online and Planetside2 this week.

7th category X:

I like both Pve and Pvp (althought i play a lot more WvW than Pve or sPvP) and have a lot of time to play (three 80s, one 60,…), but hate grind and hate the new instance with gear inflaction.

If they become necesary or have any impact in WvW i would left the game.

I cannot belive that the hamster wheel players want to change a non item centric MMO in just another wow item model clone.

NO for new tier of items
NO for gated content by any means, this is never a great idea and isn’t sustenable on the long run
BIG NO for broken promises, once you start broking your own promises how long before you broke the remaining ones, we start waiting for new tier of items in the spring?, maybe infusion ready items for a bunch of gems?

I only love new content but the way they introduce it is a game killer for me, items hamster wheel again broking all the previous promises?, NO THANKS.

As result i would never see the new content as i’m not going to gring the new items and it could put me out of the game.

Snort.3698:

I play in UTC -1(BST)
…
At 10pm(11 UTC) Blacktide are back in the lead. Then I log of.

The problem is that you use UTC as base time, but a lot of mainland europe is currently UTC +2, you are playing with a 3 hours advantage.

You start the log at 18h, thats currently 15h in mainland europe (working hours), but really till 18h (20 UTC or your 21) you will not found sizble numbers on a lot of mainland servers and you stop giving records when the prime time starts.

You only put records of low time for Seafarer for exmaple, from your 21h ahead is when a lot of people connect.

You put records to show that your own prime time have advantage over SF low time (and choose the day btw, but that is another thing), nice for you.

Next time i would ask you to choose a prime time for SF (like your own 22h ahead, till 4am that is 1am for SF) and choose one day like the monday or the thursday) or better, show the trend over several days in both prime times, not only in yours.

Shadow Phage.9084:

Your idea is nothing new. It has been discussed before. ANet has said they are willing to look into scoring adjustments since so many people are unhappy with ‘night capping’.

Please stop making redundant threads as there is a stickied thread about night capping already.

Im sorry that my post seems to disturb you, i’m not aware that a similar proposal was made before, my apologies.

And for sure, the current situation of WvWvW is so nice that the official forum of the game is no the proper place to talk about it because the developer put several post about it with concrete solutions and even timeframes that would come……. oh wait…..

But don’t worry i would forget to try to improve the game as it seems that you found it ofensive.

btw: “This is not saying that we are against any adjustment to scoring, or against developing another mechanic to improve the capping system.”

That dont mean that they are currently working on the solution, that only means that they could look into it, but no that they are looking into it or even willing to look.

For sure they could look into it in a future expansion month ahead, or a year, a couple or even a decade, but as i said before for sure the current state of WvWvW is so nice that no change is needed asap.

Even if Anet dont recognize that there is a problem with night capping in WvWvW a lot of people have a problem with it in their current incarnation.

The key for me at least are a couple of points:
- WvWvW maps is to fight versus other players, PvDoor haven’t a place there.
- Everyone could play whatever they want.

Now if you take a Keep you gain for example 1500 karma and 10 points each tick while you hold it, if the keeps is defended by 30 defenders, siegue, is reinforced and you need three hours to took it you gain the same that you would gain if you took it at 3am and the only defender is the door.

But of course if you want to play at 3am you must be able to do it, but the reward from playing at that hour without any enemy need to be lesser that the one you get from playing against real defenders.

The solution:

The points (karma, gold, points per tic, etc…) must be tailored against the actual fighting the objetive you took or defend had, for example:

Attacking a keep have a base reward of 100 karma and that is adjusted with a serie of factors, for example 2% more with each defender death from the time the keep is contested till it fall or is sucessfully defended, an aditional x1/4 for each reinforced step the keep have, and it adjusted with the current population ratio in the map (4 to 1 to you?, you only get a 25% total reward, 1 to 2 to you? you get a 200% reward)… if you took a lv2 keep from 50 defenders you would get thousands of points, if you took in undefended with a 10 to 1 population ratio, then you would get 10 points or whatever…

And for the realm points you would get a large influx of points from the initial capture (say 1/100 of the karma reward) and then it would decrease with each tic to a fix value that would be very minimal, for example:

Initial capture of a keep: 123 points being defended, upgraded, etc…
Ticks while the first hour: 1/10 of the amount with a minimun of 5
Ticks while the second hour: 1/30 of the amount with a minimun of 3
Ticks while the third-fourth hour: 1/50 of the amount with a minimun of 2
Ticks while from fith hour ahead: 1/100 of the amount with a minimun of 1

That would make that recoup a lost keep is more important for the points that it give the enemy that nightcapping one and hold it for 8 hours.

Of course that is only a general idea, the formula need a lot of work and adjustment to get it working.

Sorry by the english (is not my native lenguage) and hope that some changes will be bring into WvWvW soon to get it fixed and that everyone would get nice fights.
