Guild Wars 2

If they had put spvp resources towards GvG with varying rule sets and options like LOL has where you can ban builds etc, personally I think it would have been more successful.

It’s just beyond me as to why it has to be a last minute thing.

I honestly am just praying at this point, that when they come there will be some hardcore element. I mean casuals need there stuff and thats cool, but right now legendaries are the most hardcore thing in this game and yea… lol.

The ability to make threads needs to be limited.

This is amazing.

did you find and do the jumping puzzle inside the guildhall yet?

just like the whole area south you can also reach it rather easy without any upgrades when you found out where to glide and jump but i wonder if it is actually unlocked in a normal way when you reached lvl 40?
or if there are other upgrades needed for that?

We did that the first week it was out, but no this unlock doesn’t make it much easier to get to the puzzle. At about 2:13 in the video is probably the biggest change to getting to the puzzle, but its not a massive improvement. The biggest change is really just opening up the hollow itself, and getting the new waypoint. I really do hope that there is some hidden proprietor that becomes available or there are new upgrades going to be patched in shortly.

Curious how this made it into live.

This change is pretty disgusting. The attitude of equalizing players is one that should not prevail. Are we going to receive influence, commendation, laurel and gold caps as well?

As for coattails, like I’ve already mentioned, in a 3 way battle double teaming will happen. Like Rob said, its rare that a cyclical karma train happens, because CO’s see easy points, and they would be irresponsible not to take advantage of them.

I don’t even want to prove you wrong because this is exactly what I wanted. Acceptance and admittance of what has been done.

My rebuttal is, it would be irresponsible not to take advantage of the easy points, but it is even more irresponsible to take advantage of the easy points that only get you to 2nd place, and allow another server to take the win.

It is also irresponsible not to take advantage of the attacking server by hitting them when they are preoccupied with their attack, it then keeps the fight more interesting, and bases the matchups more on skill and coordination rather than taking advantage of a server that has to defend themselves on two fronts and turning it into PvD.

The reason why people from NSP say that AR is unskilled is because in the past few weeks, we have only seen AR be the server that spreads the standings. They secure 2nd, allow 1st to rocket to the top, and have 3rd drop way down. Right now we are at a 20k difference between servers because of AR’s irresponsiblity. If AR actually attacked BP then they may have been in 1st because it wasn’t a huge point spread, but like I keep saying, AR is only comfortable coming in 2nd.

NSP has outplayed AR by actually fighting for 1st place, we didn’t succeed, but we sure kept it tight for as long as we could. AR secured 2nd and then went nowhere from there. That is how NSP outplayed AR this week, we actually put forth our own effort, an effort that was effective enough to have BP come at us with all that they had in order to put us down.

AR’s irresponsibility? Huge point spread? Allowing 1st to rocket to the top and have 3rd drop way down?

I’m sorry. Are you high? I defy you to give a single example of a closer matchup in the entire NA tier system right now. Better yet, I outright call you out to prove there has been a closer matchup than these three servers regardless of NA or EU tiers for the past 4 weeks.

Go ahead. I’ll even give you the website that records all the stats for this stuff:

http://mos.millenium.org/matchups#history

Find a single match up there that was closer than AR/BP/NSP for the past 4 weeks. Those are all the scores for the matches. I’m telling you to back up your claims with facts and numbers instead of talking out of your kitten for once. Find a single match that has been closer, or more competitive, or more evenly matched.

Look at the overall rank points even. NSP and AR have gone up in rank every week in this match up, while BP has gone down. The overall point difference between 1st and 3rd in our tier is less than 70 points.

Don’t think that you can argue to me about point spreads and blame AR for not trying, kid. You’re complaining about a 20k point spread? (overall spread is actually 40k, but I guess I shouldn’t be counting on you to do your math correctly at this point)

Tier 8 has to deal with a 260k point spread. Tier 1 has to deal with a 80k point spread. Hell, the closest tier to us has a 50k point spread. The numbers are on my side.

Stop digging, troll. You aren’t going to win this discussion.

20k point spread between each server means a 40k point spread, same statement just different wording, and before yesterday it was what a total spread of 12k points? The difference between first and second was a 2k point spread. That is close, 20k is a whole day worth of points and AR essentially screwed themselves from getting a very very highly obtainable 1st and they screwed NSP from getting a 2nd. This matchup could have gone literally any way if AR weren’t irresponsible in the way they chose who to attack in the past 2 days, but now it’s just the same as every week because you were content with only coming in 2nd place.

I still stand by my statement that NSP outplayed AR, we kept it closer than you have ever been able to, and the only reason why it was opened up is because of the irresponsibility of AR in attacking NSP to secure a 2nd place “victory” for themselves.

AGAIN .. you cant claim to outplay someone and not be wining. Its the dumbest statement of the year. AR doesn’t really care if BP wins. SERIOUS. We pound NSP because of a certain guild. I don’t know why you are so hung up on AR being in 2nd place. It doesn’t matter if we are in 1st . We where in first 3 weeks in a row until Thursday night and BP brings out the Big night crew and there nothing we can do with NO night crew to support it. All you are doing is making crap up to troll without knowing exactly whats happening,

What guild is that?

Why do the playing fields need to be leveled? I’m not exactly sure what that means in this case. If you started doing something later than others and have done less work than others, you should have less than others.

Neither of these are legitimate concerns. When you die it should cost money, otherwise there will be even more zerging. And as for lowering the price of siege, just lol.

Not sure if second but:

WTB server merges.

Wtb ZoS vs KING video. /popcorn

Guild Master perspective. For the most part I don;t have to deal with server drama as our server responds to that with trolling till the person leaves, all the main WvW guilds and their commanders are chill with each other, the quality of our small man guilds really is amazing, the pvers on our server put bots to shame and of course no queues.

This would actually be a pretty epic addition.

TLDR: I’m a casual and this game is bad because everything isn’t easy for me to get. So what if nerfing everything for me ruins the game for everyone else? At least i’ll be happy for the 4 hours a week I play, amirite?

Stand your ground is OP? This is a ridiculous thread.

CorrynnStarr.7942:

On a side note, I have 2 questions. Can a Guild own both places? Second, if at a later date, can you switch places and still retain your current guild upgrades?

1) No, you can only won one at a time
2) Yes, to capture a different one go purchase the expedition for that hall and complete it. You will retain your old hall until you succeed the new expedition. All of your upgrades will then apply to your new hall and you will loose access to your old hall.

My character is head of two guilds that each captured Hollow and Precipice in the first few hours of launch. I am curious if that would be a first.

No upgrade requires that currently.

Farm gold and buy the mats…

I’m upset because I have to do more to have more. Totally unreasonable.

Trolling and kitten aside though i’m pretty interested to see how the new match time will affect reset pop. Last reset I know that was the cause of a lot of sadtimes.

This thread: mememememememeemememe.

This is 100% legit. Every spawn has 3 exits and every team has team chat with which they can attempt to organize a push.

Given that many high level GvG’s are recorded on youtube its plain ignorant to say 20vs20 is skilless or skill spam. If you GvG any real guild with that attitude of skill spam you will lose.

Reading this thread, we understand your questions and want to share a little information: This set is designed to be a special, exclusive set and therefore it’s a little different than most. There are a couple of other interesting factors that you’ll want to know: The set is available for one ticket. It will remain priced at one ticket into the future, so someone who wants it now doesn’t need to be concerned about it becoming unavailable or about it rising in price in the future. Other sets currently available are not account bound, such as the Cavalier Weapon Set which was recently released at a price of 1 Black Lion Claim Ticket and remains at that price now. In addition, we do intend to continue to offer tradeable sets in the future. If you’d like a preview of the new set, go to your bank wardrobe and filter for “Privateer.” We hope this answers your questions, and thanks for sharing your thoughts.

-Sarah

Why is the set special? Why would we think it’s anything but you testing the waters on how much you can screw over customer before there’s backlash?

Valid question is valid.

I thought I saw someone post a link of a dev discussing the possibility of a map connecting the borderlands.

I hope this thread is deleted. There should be a “Report for QQ” button.

This answer is unacceptable. Thanks for participating in WvW for months but no cigar. OP has excellent points.

Threads like these…

Threads like these make me laugh. Even in a casual game: “I HAVE TO DO STUFF??”.

Nice try SF, port those golems into the cannons…. I would fire that mesmer if i were you.
Would have more screenshots but got carried away killing those omegas

Excellent job so far guys, keep it up.

They are extremely ineffective as is. There needs to be a general section for posts that apply to all servers and then a subsection for each server. That way people(and guilds) can be more granular in there search. This is something that would make that section a lot more useful than it is right now and takes minimal work to implement. Considering these are professional forums I don’t understand why this isn’t so already.

shrek.1046:

I disagree with OP they are relevant in spvp only and were an eyesore in wvw.

10 Charrs agree.

The lack of transparency regarding these numbers is concerning. And as for the reasoning that these numbers change all the time. They have a launcher that can link to patch notes as well as a dev section with updates. There is really no good reason for this to be secret.

In my guild we do not allow multi representation at all. We have 200 actives and the people in the guild enjoy it. Not all guilds appeal to all players.

@all roamers in this thread please stop qqing and just go play Southsun Survival. It’s basically the same thing, I think. Then again i’ve never actually been to WvW, I just post in matchup threads all day to make sure that everyone knows my opinion and how good I am.

Can anyone tell me if/when HoD has orientation for new guilds? Also is there a website/packet that I can borrow for more information until then?

EremiteAngel.9765:

When is it happening?

Soon hopefully.

I’m quite serious, about what i’ve posted. If others have suggestions they feel that are better i’d like to hear their ideas also.

I think the idea of having a physically smaller place that is significantly cheaper is a good alternative as it doesnt really diminish what others will have.

To all SBI complaining about queues, the transfer server button is thataway.

To be fair, I think half of Stormbluff Isle is very familiar with the transfer button.

forever disappoint

Shots fired. Can’t tell you how hard i’m laughing at this.

Also alliances didn’t ruin WvW. Extending free transfers from 2 weeks in to 6 months in did. That created the initial imbalance that then led to even more bandwagoning.

FearedbytheGods.8617:

I agree with that sentiment to an extent.

PvP is a big fail, all the main guys have left, it’s been mismanaged from the ground up and impromptu GvG competed with it for popularity.

The sorts of people that mostly PvE are the kinds of people that want easy content for high rewards. Who would rather relax and take things easy.

They don’t want to PvP or WvW due to the ‘competitive’ nature of it, their competition is usually in the form of TP flipping and auto attacking at world bosses and then comparing the results.

WvW is really where the community of GW2 is made beyond the servers, 2 week updates etc. Otherwise GW2 would be the game you solo for dailies, check out new content every 2 weeks and group up once a week for guild missions.

This was extremely well said. Massive +1 to this, hopefully this will be read.

Its cake to make money to buy anything you want in this game because of its overly casual nature and yet threads like these exist. Honestly props to anet for not locking this thread.

Its not the expansion we need, but the one we deserve.

I’ll be posting my 15 pages of 2 cents on this but until then what i’m suggesting from Arenanet is:
-We need a way to export roster log data. We do not need you to enable or create add ons, we just need a system like Aion had for guild roster viewing
-There needs to be separate kick and invite permissions. Every other MMO has had this and its easy to see why.
-More than 10 ranks should be allowed. Even Cabal had this.
-Last online needs a column in roster tab. We can’t see this but we can see achievement points? Really?
-The roster information needs to be delivered in a consistent and accurate format.
-There needs to be more of a reason to join a WvW guild so that its not pugorama in the mid tiers.
-Their needs to be an option to lock multi-guilding and server transfers while in a guild.
-The current gold cap per tab of 1000G is beyond ridiculous its way too small and I don’t see a need for a cap at all.
-Content that WvW guilds can excel at without shafting their WvW time needs to be released. At the rate were getting WvW ascended options it should be 2014 before we see WvW guild quests follow the PVE ones.
-When content that can seriously affect guilds is planned to be released, the information should be released with ample time for them to prepare/schedule for it.
-Guild housing needs to have many tiers and options. some may be cosmetic but many should be meaningful and perhaps even require permanent choices to be made in order to increase the value of guilds. Example: Have a guild with a max level guild hall choose between minor permanent WvW buffs or minor permanent PvE buffs. The max level of these halls should be prohibitively expensive in order to really set apart these guilds and to discourage non serious guilds/players from investing in it(1000G+ for the final tier). Also upkeep for high level halls needs to factored into this. Perhaps a lack of upkeep simply suspends guild buffs but does not degrade the structure.

This is what I have for now, but I hope other guild masters or concerned players can post feedback as well. I currently enjoy this game, but am extremely disappointed with the guild support thus far. At the moment it so much more expensive to be a WvW guild then any other kind and this was one of the main selling points of the game prior to release.

Thank you for your kind words.

We need to stop the infighting and band together in order to defeat T3.
