Guild Wars 2

I don’t like the new capture points so far.

1)All people want to do is rotate through the points and gank each other, mostly because:

2) The Bloodlust mechanic is not clear. I play with quite a few WvW veterans, and most of them misunderstood how the Bloodlust mechanic worked (they thought you had to keep three of the points capped at all times to retain the buff). This could be made clearer.

3) I think the terrain could have been better utilized to grant access to the capture points from the water trenches and subterranean paths, rather than always having to be above-ground when approaching the points. The closest thing to this is the coliseum point, which has two access points from the surrounding water, but even there, the player is completely above ground approaching the point. This would go a long way toward allowing ambushes and more effective hiding and escape routes.

4) The water trenches are aggravating, as they make movement more tedious than it needs to be. If you are moving directly from one capture point to another, you are probably trying to move across the trenches. However, the trenches are just wide enough that they cannot be jumped from level terrain, even with a dodge-jump.

Some minor stuff, but they’re things that might be possible to improve.

I have played this game a ridiculous amount of hours, most of which has been in WvW. I think the borderland map changes are fantastic. I play on BG (have been there since launch) and in a relatively even match-up, the stat bonuses are no big deal. This may turn into a long thread, and I hope my appreciation for these changes are not lost in the discussion. There are bugs that need to be fixed, and hopefully they won’t take a year to get to. These changes add so much more dynamicism to the game and break up zerg tactics well.

My only concern is the imbalance between the bay side and the 2 western nodes and the hills side and the 2 eastern nodes. It’s still too early for us to determine this yet, but considering that each server has the same issue on their respective map, this may not be a big deal.

They are back. Had much fun with them the last 2 hours.
And rumors say there is an EU guild on JQ. But I guess that’s only rumors.

I rather like it when you set out to get good fights, and the ppt just happens without actively chasing it. But, to each their own I guess

Wanted to take this opportunity to welcome our friends TKG back to JQ from BG. It’s great having you guys back.

BG’s highly skilled roaming groups

Show us on the doll where the bad man touched you…

As a thief (and I know, as soon as you say that, you kind of screw yourself), I think Rangers should be able to have a skill that does what the stealth disruptor does that requires a grandmaster skill in either Beastmastery (if it was pet based detection) or Wilderness Survival.

Stealth needs a hard counter, and Rangers could use the love

Noodles definitely needs to found more guilds. You can’t have enough tags no one remembers!

You might want to take a break if you’ve founded four guilds and the member base has told you to kick rocks every time.

Maybe play solo and relax a little while. Have a beer, do some hand modeling, enjoy life etc.

We need PvF bingo. A rep of each server will submit a Bingo form full of forum buzzwords and the last server to get a bingo (or not get one at all) is declared the PvF champion of the week.

I predict that the T8 matchup of Maguuma-SoR-EB would go on for a long time.

Kaineng’s Shaka Zulu (Rivette) did that long ago

LOVE garrison + Score update and commanding on zerker mesmer! woo!

PRAISE JEDSUS!

Great fights RISE, and BG (could not pick out a guild)! We had fun ending our night in JQBL, rushing into BG spawn to see which one of us could make it the furthest.

What Jade Quarry is recruiting:

• An EU team to assist our existing commanding unit. During this time zone we typically have 2-3 team leads organizing any and all active forces. We are looking to increase activity within this allocated time zone in order to compliment our existing force. Our Sea team leads would like to feel as though they have something to present to someone after their active time slot.

• An Oceanic team to assist our changeover from NA prime to Sea prime. Our NA prime forces are looking to try and pass their hard work to our Sea time.

• Icelandic, Swedish, Danish or Bokmal Norwegian teams welcome as well. Our translator and contact is Kada from HzH

The purpose of recruiting for these two time slots as more of a priority is to compliment our NA prime forces to our Sea forces that are our there. Our teams from the different time zones have grown closer over time and would like to have an improved changeover between teams

• An NA prime team or two. During this time zone as a server team, we would like to invite any teams to Jade Quarry to work in tandem with our existing teams. We thrive on cross team coordination between guilds, we consider this to be one of the more fun factors of this game and would welcome guilds to work with us and continue and maintain a positive environment. Officially we have small number of NA prime teams that currently represent primary map leading squads on a daily basis.

Have a bump from AoS!

Would love to see some new faces around the server!

And welcome to JQ, Night Shift!

No, this isn’t SPvP

WvW is the dirty version of PvP. You throw everything in and see what happens.

Score Update. Loads of fun. /hugz

I was there for that :P

Been soooo much fun running with TKG tonight, “Leave the camp” “RUN BACK IN”

lol

I didnt see you Were u wearing another tag?

Mmmmmmm MERC tag or LOVE tag. I was going between them tonight. Was running with them for the past few hours. Been funny their TS makes me lol

This isnt a simple “yes” or “no” question. Its more complicated by now.
If you mean the actuall buff: no, not really.
If you mean the mechanics around the buff and how you obtain it: yes.

The Noodles hunt last night was indeed very fun, I’m not sure of the history between them (him?) and certain members of SoR but my bags appreciated it and I was laughing my kitten off all night Not the most helpful towards PPT but honestly my care-meter about a virtual gold medal is a bit low atm.

Gratz for the win last week sor. If im not mistaken its the first time that all 3 servers won a week in a 3 week period in tier 1 if we still want to call it that.

Jscull.2514:

Havent you guys ever played games where this didnt happen? Where you got updates? And expansions and actual tangible enhancements to pvp? Lol, not in Anet land.

Anet could start with a basic WvW mastery called Mastery of Downing

Lvl 1 – 7% chance of not being interrupted while downing an enemy.
Lvl 2 – 13% chance of not being interrupted while downing an enemy.
Lvl 3 – 21% chance of not being interrupted while downing an enemy.
Lvl 4 – 29% chance of not being interrupted while downing an enemy.
Lvl 5 – 34% chance of not being interrupted while downing an enemy.
Lvl 6 – 41% chance of not being interrupted while downing an enemy.
Lvl 7 – 48% chance of not being interrupted while downing an enemy.
Lvl 8 – 54% chance of not being interrupted while downing an enemy.
Lvl 9 – 60% chance of not being interrupted while downing an enemy.
Lvl 10 – 70% chance of not being interrupted while downing an enemy.

5 months of brand new wvw content right there!

Cuddlepie.8109:

With the end of last week’s NA match, I had my 50th WvW “Tier 1” win.

I ran with three guilds in doing so: The Elite, Henge of Denravi; Darkness is Everywhere (DiE), Sea of Sorrows; and Center of Attention (CA), Blackgate.

The intent of this post (and the linked video) is to mark this milestone. Thank you to those I’ve fought with, and against. The Oceanic and SEA community is alive and well. Thank you also to the NA guilds that stay up late (and for reset on our Saturday mornings). The WvW experience that GW2 offers would not have been such great fun without you.

The video is here.

Gratz on Being #1 Bandwagoner!?!?!? You sir are truly AWESOME!

I love the fact that IRON has bg/jq players all upset.

We need more guilds just like them. /cheer IRON!

Lol with the way things are going and how SoR is responding, 3rd place will be their home for a very long time…

/cheer IRON!

And we don’t care. SoR hasn’t won 1st place in a while, and we won’t be getting 1st place any time soon until we have enough Oceanic/SEA guilds to hold all our NA gains. In the mean time, we will have fun.

Yeah we know the drill, SoR doesn’t care about anything until they actually care, then they always cared until the next time they no longer care.

From an observer’s point of view, you sound like a kitten child putting out his teenage angst, mate. You’re trying to argue with empty points, but instead of appearing smart (which is what you probably intend to do) you look like a fool disagreeing to disagree. I think for this matchup, it would be better for everybody if you stand out of this thread where people are trying to be positive and playing the game appreciating each other, creating a friendly environment. BG, JQ and SoR have been playing WvW together for over 3 months, we don’t really hold genuine hatred towards each other, but we do respect each other and enjoying the fights.

You are trying to create a circlejerk that nobody else wants to participate, get out.

I’m guessing so they can claim they did work on WvW.

Hooboy we gonna get owned

Fuzzion.2504:

We have a nice Gift for the JQ NA players tomorrow.

Enjoy

PRAISE BE TO JEDSUS! Truly, Truly, you all have the spirit of Woks on Water in your hearts and the Justice of Waha in your fists!

Remember JQ, the outcome of this match is decided by you.

My mother-in-law makes the best cookies. Chocolate chip and a variety of traditional Hungarian goodies. Where do I send?

Send the cookies to me but keep you mum in law

Gladly. She’s one of those mother-in-laws you’d actually want!

In WvW enemy players are an obstacle, not an objective.

What is chest thumbing ?

it might have something to do with nipples

i’d chest thumb that

meep.2601:

WvW is imploding at an amazing rate, and I have to say that it is very satisfying to watch.

this thread is full of ideas that could make wvw much more enjoyable. will any of it be implemented? no.

Anet has been completely ignoring great wvw ideas since the betas. thumbs up anet we are proud of you!!
