Guild Wars 2

Auto block is dangerous. What if get abused?

I just take ascended. I need 2 Damasks for my legging but I got Elonian instead.
I know laurels are better profit. But if I choose it, I would not want to spend them.
Even if I buy t6 mat, I would still want to keep them instead of selling them.
Even if I convinced myself to sell them, I would still not want to spend that gold :/
Because I am a hoarder.

Or one can just don’t do it if don’t like the option?

ha ha funny.
I remembered I have one game account’s password set to “nopassword”.
Then I gave my acc to a friend. He asked me what’s ur password? I said “nopassword”.
Later he complained me for lying which I clearly didn’t.

I find myself play more than before.
And planning to make a ranger as new alt.

I like new daily system than old one.
The old one feels like chore to me. I need to do to them even I don’t want to because I need laurels for ascended accessories. (very seldom do dungeons, not my prefer mode)
Now I can ignore them if I don’t want to do and still get reward.

I enjoy LS stories, and season 2 is better than 1.
So yes, I want season 3.
Doesn’t matter there will be expansion or not.

Legendary is not a right it’s a privilege, earn it.

:/ May be OP is new to JQ or new to wvw, considering this is his first post.

OP why not just ask Anet to give u legendary of your choice as birthday present?

Because some ppl just don’t like to see them.
Personally it’ll be torture for me to see a lot of mounts jumping up and down blocking my view and annoying my eyes.

This game is announced with no mounts from the beginning.
There are a lot of players who don’t like mounts.
If Anet add mounts, it’ll be betrayal to those ppl and not fair for them unless there is option to turn them of completely from the view.

Of course the best thing would be not to add mounts.

how about NO.
why are u creating another mount thread?

No please.
One of the reasons I bought this game was cuz there’s no mount.
Don’t want to use mount.
Also don’t want to see others use mount. It blocked my screen and annoy my eyes.

Veeber.3192:

Necros can use Spectral Walk and trait Spectral Attunement to port a golem anywhere on the map from waypoints.

Is that right? I thought utility skills cannot be used when you are holding siege?

I would stay and fight, but I am not a roaming spec.
Most roamer I met are thieves and D/D ele.
I lost mostly, but there are cases I got upper hand and when that happened those so called roamer run away like the wind lol.
So I want to ask back: why “roamer” run away when the 1v1 fight is not in their favor?

KICKER.3874:

I don’t know about the US bads you’re playing with OP but SFR got to nr.1 by having skilled pugs and by winning fights.

Get your facts straight before making useless threads on subjects you don’t know about.

Can I ask honest question? Are you new to WvW?
I won’t comment on skill.
But however much skill your sever have, if you don’t have coverage and your opponents have it, you can’t win.

That’s strange, cuz I’ve been fighting TC most of the time.
If it’s really double team BG won’t be getting this much ppt.

2v1….1 is the loneliest number
#BGTears

too bad this entire tournament is a FARCE and completely pointless in determining everything.

JQ and TC are going to be cheering and congratulating themselves for “victory” at the end of all of this, and yet

the winner of this tournament will not be the server who played the best, but instead a server who resorted to underhanded tactics and basically what amounts to CHEATING in order to win

and don’t tell me BG has that much superior coverage (the first wee was an EXTREMLY close match until JQ GAVE UP and quit the map like the noobs they are

cheating and hilarious are close cousins.

BG’s coverage isn’t like before. But we knew this would happen so we are playing for fights instead of fights and ppt. PPT is moot at this point since, like a couple days ago, TC and BG were close so TC and JQ went hardcore 2v1 until it was out of reach again.

I am sure the old SoR guilds are bored out of their skulls that they can’t fight JQ in any real way. I am sure that will blow up at some point here. JQ there are rumblings about being unhappy with this from people.

So BG will power through while the others have to deal with all that junk.

That’s great for BG is it not
Don’t worry we are gonna fight next week.

Nick.6972:

So what about those people who just want to go WvW and have fun and who get spawn camped? How is this acceptable?

There is no such thing as spawn camp.
Counting BLs alone, there are 3 maps with 3 exists, total of 9 exists. Use the one with no enemy.

lol it’s getting interesting. Even CoC card was pulled before. Lucky it’s only 3 team mode. If it’s 4 team, there will be triple-teamed.

It’s clearly shown that Blackgate can win against either team when they are separated and when they aren’t allied against us. I personally don’t care if we get double-teamed in the off-season, because it doesn’t matter. However, it seems rather unfair to me that Blackgate is getting double-teamed during a tournament, where the score amounts to a reward. It’s pretty much impossible for us to win if it isn’t going to be a fair fight.

Can you define a “fair” fight for me? I’d <b>love</b> to see what BG comes up with within the context of it’s victories.

Just to start, I’m on IoJ server.

I could have sworn I remember reading a post with you saying you were from BG. Let me find it.

Edit: found it.

As for winning coming up. I AM FROM BLACKGATE, I’ve won plenty.

sazaw.1347:

You are not from JQ or TC actually playing the match, so you will not understand.
1. QUEUE is not always there for 24 hr on all map
2. At any point of time BG can field equal or greater than any other opponents when all 4 maps are combined
3. We are not fighting for the win, we are fighting for #bgtears
4. When there is 3 way fight, 2v1 will happen (intended or not) but in our case enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Bgtears?! Im proud that i’ve moved to bg im feeling special now! Ok…if you don’t play to win…I’m gessing you’re used to lose…thats ok cause seeing that is needed 2 servers to take us down…only means one thing…nahh… not gonna say… just GG and HF (the main point of GW2 is HF besides most of the ppl already forgot that)

ohhh and when you say this “2. At any point of time BG can field equal or greater than any other opponents when all 4 maps are combined” ….well let me quote you “You are not from” BG “actually” cause you would know thats not true.

Umm actually we have been winning way before BG comes to T1. We have seen servers come up and go down. Personally I think winning for a long time is bad for us. I don’t want that to happen. It attracts fair whether. Because I know winning in WvW means more number and coverage only.
I’m not on BG but c’mon we’ve been fighting BG long time of course we know your number and coverage.

ps: i’m not ex-sor. I’m on JQ since 3 days headstart.

hanZou.3645:

the 2v1 is unfair by this:
if each server have a limit to wvw (that’s why there is QUEUES)…and they can’t get more of their world inside cause of of the limit…then lets move to another server half of the people and then when this 2 worlds match against each other they just focus on the 3rd world their against with!

so this way they can have in WvW the twice the number of the 3rd world…its like a coward thing “can’t fight fair…cheat it” something like that…works for low standards/prideless persons…gz for them.

Im glad Im not from any of those 2 worlds! They may win like this…but…whats the point of winning when everyone knows they only win by playing 2v1 cause they can’t do nothing alone?!

And yes this is cheating…but can be concidered as tactical also…but still cheating!

Period!

You are not from JQ or TC actually playing the match, so you will not understand.
1. QUEUE is not always there for 24 hr on all map
2. At any point of time BG can field equal or greater than any other opponents when all 4 maps are combined
3. We are not fighting for the win, we are fighting for #bgtears
4. When there is 3 way fight, 2v1 will happen (intended or not) but in our case enemy of my enemy is my friend.

I buy this game because of “no grind”, no “holy trinity” and no “gear based” pvp.
Some aspects I bought this game for has been damaged by ascended yet I still play because I enjoy the combat. Please please if anyone want “holy trinity”, go play one of many such games out in the market. Don’t try to change what this game left as good.

Aioros.4862:

I’m not a good pvp player, never was. But even so, i’m ok by losing because i sucked compared to the other guy, but over a stat difference, no thanks, been there, done that (in Wow), this is not the game for me anymore (and even WoW made an effort to level the pvp playing field, and i believe the grind there, for pvp gear, is child’s play compared to this).

I feel exactly the same!

I also really really hope that mounts are never added to this game.

The thing is when it come to pvp/wvw it should be decided by skill, build, and class knowledge only. It should never be due to gear. That’s why I hate traditional mmorpg and played GW2. I’m sure a lot of pvper played this game due to that fact. It was fine with exotic but now ascended ruined it. Luckily stat advantage is still low. If they add another tier, most wvwer will quit. Hope Camelot unchained come out by that time.

Isslair.4908:

All the hardcore WvW people I know got their ascended sets very quickly and just moved on to play the game.

You’re obviously lying, or are confusing pve players with wvw players. The hard core wvw players I’m surrounded with do not have a full set of armour, or even close to a full set of armour.

Isslair.4908:

Ascended gear has no impact on core WvW playerbase.

GvG/scrim/open field fight between a fully ascended guild, versus a fully exotic guild. And that’s just one hypothetical. Thank you for understanding.

I doubt pver will ever understand what you are saying.

Vol.7601:

Xillllix.3485:

I’m going to love this update that’s for sure, finally new WvW content. I really don’t understand these people that don’t do PvP or WvW. The real test of skill comes form PvP and WvW.

I don’t think WvW is particularly skillful. All that matters is blobbing up on a commander and coordinating your blast finishers.

well zerging is not the only play style you can do in wvw though.

MachineManXX.9746:

So a question to those of you who are asking for a gear change (celestial not withstanding). What exactly are you going to change into? If Zerker gear was highest DPS before, and as I understand it, it will still be highest DPS, what specifically do you want to change into?

This is a serious question. I’m having a hard time understanding the reasoning behind this request.

Yes nothing much change for pve but most of WvWer will need to change to condition bunker or pure power bunker build from glass cannon as it will benefit more after the nerf.

Einlanzer.1627:

Treborlavok.3504:

ZudetGambeous.9573:

Zerker gear was clearly a problem, you can complain that the content is severely messed up, and rightfully so, but zerker was clearly a problem.

I don’t know how anyone can defend the fact that zerker gained a 17% DPS boost from the Exotic-> Ascended upgrade while the next best set only gained a 5.2% increase in DPS. Defensive stats hit diminishing returns while offensive stats hit exponential growth, scaling was just downright broken, now they are fixing it.

Exo facto, The game was never intended to have ascended items!!!

\0_0/

Shocking I know. But it’s the truth. Yet they implemented them and their grind and have continually attempted to fix content for balance and continually screw ppl over and out of our time out into getting said items. Who’s problem/fault is it?.. Theirs but yet again they make it ours.

I honestly don’t know if your numbers are true. But if they are that’s hilarious! And back when ppl were kittening about ascended armor saying now they have to get ascended gear because you’ll be outmatched… Yep!

Fix the game not the tools. They hastily put in ascended armor without crunching numbers and doing math. So why should the people who spend countless hours upon hours attaining gold and mats be punished for crafting something Anet implemented?

#celestialarmorstatswap!!!

How exactly are you being punished? What a hilarious hyperbole. It was a problem before Ascended, too. Power, Crit %, and Crit damage just scaled too well relative to other combinations from the get go. You can tell it’s a problem right off the bat, because in lower levels condition and defensive stats are more effective than zerker stats, then by 80 it completely reverses.

In case you didn’t notice, the baseline for non-condition skills was set very low (presumably) in an attempt to accommodate the hyperbolic growth curve of the zerker stat combo and make sure they weren’t brokenly OP by level 80.

What they need to do, though, is ensure that zerker stats are now on a more linear curve, but buff the baseline for direct damage skills so that they aren’t pitifully weak from 1-79.

We are being punished in WvW not in PvE. Zerker builds are never op in wvw. This nerf make it less effective compared to other builds now. Celestial users will be worthless now in WvW. If BiS only exotic, we won’t care much because we can easily change build but with ascended it’s a different story.

Anyway regardless of how small the percentage it is, that’s not what we order.
For us It’s like we like to eat apple or watermelon. Some of us decided to order apple but it’s out of stock so Anet give us pear instead saying pear is tasty. In that case isn’t it natural for us to want to switch to watermelon? We never order pear ><
At the very least we should get refund for apple.

Lord Hammer Hand.4815:

another thread of pvper wanting to get some pve stuff without working on it or play the content it was intended

Hey, I’m all for not giving ascended armor in WvW… as long as all ascended armor in WvW zones immediately get reduced to exotic stats PvE players shouldn’t have a stat advantage over PvP players using something they got from a dungeon. At least, not unless those same stats are achievable via PvP.

+1 nicely put.

Nike.2631:

Out of curiosity, if you were given a stat-swap on your gear, what would people be changing TO? Berserker is still the pinnacle of Power-based damage.

This change while has little effect to pve but means more to wvw.
As for me, I will be changing from power build to condi build on my main necro. Because it worth more than sacrifice defense for damage after the change.

OP, actually we are all there, hiding in the shadows, watching over you to protect you from any harm.

I don’t even bother to click anything on my necro when I’m down.

As Dee Jay stated, I feel the problem is point per tick system. I wonder it would be better to reduce tick interval to 30 mins and promote more points for player kill/stomp.

Harper.4173:

People don’t seem to get it.
During the livestream the dev team said they will rework critical damage for ALL sets. Yes – this includes berserker which means the " top dps uber build" will get an overall reduction in dps of about 10%.
But with the new Critical Damage -> Ferocity ALL stats are getting a critical damage nerf. This means that there is no reason to allow for a stat change.

If only zerker gear would receive less ferocity then let’s say Cavalier’s or other sets that have crit damage then yes – A stat change like with magic find would be an option, but since the conversion rate of Crit Damage into ferocity is the same for ALL sets – I don’t really see why.

What you said is true if all players are geared related to crit damage.
But there are pure condition or pure power build with better survivability than power+crit build that need to sacrifice survivability. So it become more disadvantage for especially zerker build when facing such opponent in WvW.

Agreed with OP. I build my nacro as power build and accumulated laurels and spent on ascended trinkets toward that build. Now Anet just changed like that then I want to switched to cond semi bunker build. I want refund on my laurels at least.

I wonder what will happened to my power nacro.
And all my ascended accessories that I just got with hard earned laurals if I have to change build T_T

Windler.4815:

Agg and SoS do not care about ppt. They haven’t this whole time during league. They’ve known that they’re not going to place, so they’d rather have good fights where they can find them.

TC and SoS has always put good fights on the table whatever tier they’ve been in. However, SoS just couldn’t keep the coverage during their variable rise and fall to T1.

Mag, kitten on them. They’re the biggest trash talkers and can’t back it up.

As for BG… Every server knows that they bought the guild (ZD) to be on and to be the strongest server during every NA servers (especially SoR and JQ) weakest timezone to sway league their way. Hence, they knew they needed to go shopping for guilds because JQ and SoR beat them week 40 and JQ beat them horribly week 41 leading up to league.

Everyone knows they organized the 2v1 on JQ. SoR played the hand they were dealt because they knew to get second they had to put JQ in 3rd in the first weed and do it again on the last week of league.

As for JQ, you’re the true winners. JQ, since the beginning of GW2, has been T1. That’s the ultimate compliment, because with guild shifts as frequent for a server the fall can too. SBI, SoS, and many others that have been to T1 can preach to that. JQ has won the most times out of any server. (19-1st, 17-2nd, and 19-3rd=55) The closest one to them is BG (14-11-14=39).

So no matter what JQ, you’re still the true, clear winners even if you don’t get 1st or 2nd over this politically manipulative league season. BG can have that win.

I like the part where you claim JQ as the t1 server since the start… when in fact the t1 servers at the start of the game were Henge, Isles of janthir, and stormbluff. May want to research a bit more before making praises to a server that only advanced to t1 after guilds abandoned henge of denravi to balance the fights.

As for the constant remarks about BG buying a guild… its common knowledge that JQ bought guilds in the past. They just did not buy a guild to the extent of ZDs. Not only is BG more efficient at PvE and WvW, were also better investors as well

Umm.. i think you got the wrong info sir. IoJ once hit T1. But it’s always been HoD/SBI/JQ till TA disperse.

There is no such thing as “night capping”.

Either way this is a great match right now.

If you say so. I personally think its pretty skritthouse. Being outmanned on 3 maps almost 24 hours a day is fine for a while, then it just gets old. Trying to run havoc and every yak I come across has anywhere between 5-15 SOR players standing right near the yak, I try to flip a camp but I have to kill 10 mesmers first and then there guild mates who come running in for backup after Ive killed a couple of them. Sure, there are some fun fights, nothing like killing six players whilst running solo, but at the end of the day I think its pretty skritt.

HI remember us? We are SBI, we are SOR, we are SOS. We’ve all been there.. What defines you is how you react. Do you fight till there’s no hope left or give up immediately?

Well to point out the obvious, your reaction; quit the game and come back months later when your new server is dominating. Flame on.

I actually left cause it’s the time of year that I work. I didn’t log in much because of being burnt out from pulling 14 hour sbi days. I came back before sor started winning actually. cute try though

We believe you

ricky markham.8173:

actually no i disagree i got a couple out of chests. i prefer not to use them so when a commander wishes to use them i pop them up and prefer if someone else uses it. if they do implement this idea have a box pop up asking me if another can use it or not.

Well you can still pass the blueprint to commander. But the ownership should belong to the person who activate the build site.

Elementalist (45) (Build for D/D but My chef now)
Guardian (80) (For WvW group support play)
Mesmer (50) (For WvW golem rush, potal bomb, havoc/roaming party play)
Necromancer (80) (For WvW group offence play)
Ranger (42) (To test GS build, inactive for now)

Where is SYN now? They are SEA force on HoD originally, moved to SBI and last seen on SoR

:( SoR getting 1v2’d (again). Ouch..

oh look its IRON hitting our tower on jq bl… while we outmanned… while jq hitting bay… nice pvdoor IRON

enjoy the payback SOR mwahahaha

Maybe u should see SOR BL, this guild ATM doesn’t seem to run with less than 80 people and 3 acs the moment they see 10 opponents and lagging the whole map..

but thats fine i guess

That will be Waha

Waha is like magnet to us SEA pugs. We just love to run with him. So It can’t be help.

Congrats SoR on #1.
Such an eventful week. And TC is winning in T2 lmao. That will make DB not post in this thread.

The lag is strong even in small fight :/
Score update

score update. it’s pretty close match till now
