Guild Wars 2

Do you know how long it takes to get 100 pips each week?

If I was only getting 4 pips the whole time (highly unlikely for a veteran player) that’s just over 2 hours a week. If I was only in WvW that much, I’d consider that a week off anyway.

Hello, I’m not quite clear on this.

So you need to get
75+ pips on week 1
75+ pips on week 2
75+ pips on week 3

And then so long as you remain on the server, you will get the loyalty bonus?
Or will the streak reset if you miss a week, and you need to do all 3 again?

Needing to earn 100+ pips weeks 1, 2 and 3 is correct. If you miss a week you will need to do all 3 again.

*Edit: It should be 100 pips not 75. So you need to complete all of Wood Tier for 3 weeks.

Chiming in that I also think it’s ridiculous that you lose the loyalty bonus after acquiring it if you miss a week. Punished for going on vacation and not playing GW2, nice! Guess I’m lucky I already took my week off this year.

Could I please, please get the Gift of Exploration by exploring all of WvW, because that’s really all I do in this game and it horrifies me to have to step of out my little safe gaming zone where there are no enemy players who heads I can bash together.

yeah why are we even having this conversation. all the update changed was some scoring stuff and some rewards.

zerk still outplays condi if youre better.

This patch had nothing to do with profession or skills rebalancing. I’m not sure why the OP thought it would

Except it’s more like: “tick is about to end. Quickly hop around to all the maps to see if any are outnumbered so you can get an extra +5”

and not at all like “fighting overwhelming numbers”

Yeah totally bouncing around maps when almost all servers are Perma queued currently especially during any meaningful time periods

Either by deleting a file or in-game? I can’t see the enemies’ tells in PvE when selfish people just make the screen a red blob.

There’s no way to disable a specific weapon. There’s only the generalized options in the video options panel.

PS it might help if you realize that no one is trying to make the screen a red blob and that it’s not any more selfish to choose to wield a legendary than it is to ask others not to wield them.

Just to be sure, are you sure it’s not your graphics settings?

Im confused are they stacking for you? Mine goes into my currency area I dont have to click to consume anything.

Please no, don’t lower the requirements. Or change the weekly limit. Increase the requirements and lower the weekly so all plebs get tired and give up.

Let them play, they won’t know what map to go to without being on teamspeak/discord anyways. PvE pugs will follow PvE commanders and WvW commanders will farm them, happy farmdays!

It will settle down soon.

With the new patch, back piece and update for World vs World its been very exciting to see the maps que up in hopes to level for the back piece and new armor that was introduced today. With that for the seasonal WvW’ers comes a dilemma and frustration: There are now massive ques to wait on even though they have played WvW before the back piece and armor pieces were ever announced. Something I propose would help with this issue would be the same system that is used for Rank PvP.

With this update, it brings a lot of new players and population back into the game play. Unfortunately for seasoned WvWer’s we now have to wait in ques that don’t move very fast. For ranked PvP, you must play unranked until you reach level 20. This gives new players a chance to see what PvP is all about and gives some room to learn before they enter the ranked matches. I suggest the same thing be incorporated with WvW, this brings a lot of new players in to WvW, they get to level 50 and learn the basics in Edge of the Mist before being allow to enter the main World vs World maps.

As a seasonal player, I don’t feel its fair that now after 4 years of World vs World not having a good update and nothing happening in that area of game play that we have so many new players on these limited filled maps and can barely get on these maps at all. A lot of these players have no idea what to do and I feel true World vs World’ers are losing out. Guides will not help these new players, experience is what they need.

It’s almost like the rewards are for people who actually like the game mode and have played it a lot.

I rarely wvw, I’m jealous of those skins, but you know what? I’m happy for these dedicated wvw players who kept the game mode afloat finally getting some really cool stuff. I’ll probably never obtain this armor, but I’m totally okay with that.

I wish everyone could have the same attitude. I will never get the legendary armor as I do not raid. I am a tad jealous sure. But I am not mad at it. I am happy for those that can achieve it.

kittened as a roamer. Playing from start and on rank 1001.

I’ve run full zerk ele for a couple of years, sick dps and the support is still there. Amazing bombs and you still have water fields for the melee sustain train. Rank 4k and full bags every night. You’ve chosen to play only utilizing a small percentage of what your class is capable of, that’s why you are where you are.

You’re joking right, did you not use Ice Spike at least in water or occasionally switch to fire for a quick and easy meteor shower on the downed enemies. This is a learn to play issue i’m afraid and i hope you learn to fully utilise your skill bar. Even in full minstrels you can fill your bags several times a night……….

Did you play in the 3 wvw tournaments? Players were reward with tickets that a lot of wvwers were not able to spend all of them. Wvwer have been asking A-net to make them useful now they are.

I think it would be a great addition to be able to “cash out” your participation.

Previously when I was done my playing session, I would afk in wvw and go eat dinner, get ready for bed, etc. knowing full well that I would eventually be DC’d. The point was to continue to let my participation bleed down and possibly get another 1 or 2 rewards. It wasn’t a big deal because there were no queues. Now that we have massive queues (maybe temporarily maybe not) I don’t feel comfortable continuing this trend.

The “cash out” button would immediately deplete your participation to zero and give any rewards that you would have earned over the time it would have naturally depleted.

I hope that makes sense.

You’re running around in the wild. What do you expect? Hostile wildlife is going to come at you. It’s par for the course. Why not just kill the mobs? It removes the movement impediment much faster than being tagged and just walking away again.

We’re at war with elder dragons, I can’t see why grawl, drakes and bandits would still have time to fight us when there’s a greater threat pretty much everywhere.

I don’t think the grawl, drakes, or bandits much care about the dragons; they have their own agendas. Bandits need to pillage & steal. Drakes are dealing with severe, genetic halitosis. And the grawl? well grawls just want to have fun.

Can you make a tldr? Don’t think most are going to sort through 4 posts to decipher what you want.

Some of the most fun I have is finding a map with a decent amount of people(not a really empty one), and just roam around and help others with the DEs.

Some of the best in-game player interactions for me have been helping players complete these events. Often a nice “Thanks for the help” and many times a few good Q&As from newer players.

I like when pve guilds come to wvw. You get to make dank montages of 1 vs 10 and kill them all. And the hate whispers you get while they tell you to F off cuz they’re just doing dailies, are just icing on the cake. Its especially satisfying killing the ones in legendary armor. Not as easy as fighting scripted AI is it buddy?

If nothing else, the new shinnies can bring in some fresh blood. That could help the long term survivability of the game mode.

The rewards based on server position will still heavily favor the band wagon servers. I seriously doubt people will be dissuaded by the three week hold.
