Please don’t tempt them to delay the balancing for another couple of months.
It’s poor as it is.
Since everything in this universe was made for purposes of Stonemist, I came with Idea, lets delete everything from EB, but Stonemist and lets have infinite fun for one week :-))
support this idea by spaming this message…
I know but jumping puzzle was just an example. Let me give you the idea behind the example, and forget the jumping puzzle entirely.
- I want anet to implement a system where capturing an entire map becomes exponentially harder to achieve. So capturing your own keep and towers should be cake.
Capturing further laying tower should be easy. Capturing other camps or other servers towers should be harder. (I gave the example of npc’s scouting the area). It could be anything. - I wanted players while being outnumbered be able to contribute. By doing something, while harder and less effective, still more effective then it is now. (50% supply cost while outnumbered maybe). (Or keeps being easier to defend while being outnumbered).
- I want maps to be guarded somewhat, so that it’s not required to have 24/7 coverage.
- And finally, the jumping puzzle to promote small groups to contribute in a way.
This could be entirely implemented without really affecting normal populated servers. And it adds pve only to support the smaller groups of players. Right now its player zerg of 100 vs some small groups of 7 maybe. Do you honestly think thats fun? Even numbers of zergs are actually fun. But thats only happening in evenly populated servers.

All I want for x-mass is another Piken vz Vizunah vs SFR matchup. NOT.
We’re talking condition damage?
in PvE?
then go nades.
why?
perma-vulnerability on 25 stacks + regular chill & blend
and this is just your group support.
dps wise, you perma-stack bleeding up to 25 completely on your own
together with incendiary powder you even got your beloved burning, that you can hold perma as well with P/P #4 and rocketboots’ belt-ability (if you need them this bad… better go with googles).
you even hold poison on perma with a Pistol dart-volley and nades #5
heck, you also get confusion on your target.
wanna still be kind and hold weakness on the boss while healing / cleaning your pals?
good, take the EG with you, but please, for the sake of our class’ reputation, don’t mix the words condition-dps (or dps in any way) with Flamethrower.
Yes, the FT is fun as cat, but unless you’re facerolling in cof p1, there is no reason ever to take it with you.
Piken.
That mesmer raid was awesome, had lots of fun fighting u) Cheers)
vid will come tomorrow.
I was a bit worried if enough ppl turn up to have enough for some crazy fun. But well, we had 60-80 mesmers and as far as i saw it everyone had a fun time^^
so there will be more events like this upcoming, keep an eye out on saturday evenings, there will be strange piken raids. ^^
The insults are the same on every ts, be it english, russian or french.
Klm on SFR
In his hammer I trust.
Fused with my Shroud
SFR did it twice, versus Piken week 5 and versus Jade Sea week 6. They also offered gold to Piken to do a true alliance, but they refused.
before i choose what kind of answer u deserve with this i will ask u:
are u feeding trolls (being yorself a troll)? or are u serious?
(I’m a guild admin on PeVePe)
Wow the three first servers of gold league in a row, it’s gonna be an exciting match ! GL & HF everyone x:
I won’t be playing on any of these three servers as I am a JS player, but I’ll keep an interested eyes on the score board all the week (-:
Jayne, are you still on Piken Square ?! Good luck ! : D

one …two.. three …go !!!
long time ago at the start of gw2 launch grenades was 33% slower till they buffed the speed
for moving targets in PVE aim ahead of them adjusting to grenade speed / npc movement
for wvw its fine for zerg fights / clearing walls and for 1v1 use your rifle to net them get right ontop of ppl and barrage / freeze them and just control them and hug them.
try to fight ppl 1v1 at ranged with grenades they will dance about avoiding grenades
also don’t forget guys barrage and poison grenade now has red circles for enemys so they can see it coming :S

First of all I just want to thank everyone for the passionate energy that was put into this thread. This was an experiment for us, but I will say that it was a very successful experiment and we hope to do it again. Not just sometime in the future but really for any large balance release when possible.
I want to remind you as well that there are a ton of reasons why we do or do not make adjustments based on feedback. A lot of it goes back to portions of the original post about what is good for the game, what we have time to change, and what we have time to test after it has been changed.
This was a very positive experience for us as developers and I hope that is what you all take away from it as well. There was a lot of great discussion in this thread as well as in the specific threads on profession, WvW, and PvP sub-forums. Even if it appeared to go unnoticed, it did not. I personally read every single post in all 11 of those threads, and I am quite certain that I am not the only developer working on balance who did so.
Many things that were discussed will see the light of day in some form in the future, even though the focus of these topics were about what is going to be seen for Dec 10th. Some big takeaways for the future. We want control builds and condition builds to have more of a place in high end PvE. We want all profession build diversity to continue to increase, which we will do through more trait and skill work. We want to continue to more clearly define the play styles of the professions. We want to make the combat in Guild Wars 2 better for every single person playing.
Thanks one more time for all of your great feedback here, for all of the thanks you gave us for trying this experiment, and for all of your patience as we work towards improving this game that we and you both already love.
I’m going to go ahead and close this post now. I will leave the profession sub forum ones open as I think they can still be a good positive place for discussion. Finally, I will leave you all with one more thing to keep you thinking about Dec 10th for a few more weeks.
What was posted here is everything we were able to talk about at the time, but there are a few other exciting things coming to that patch, but you will have to wait a little more to hear about those.
Jon
Good morning Elona <3
Your Langor was too far to run to, so we made a WP
Congratulations to all the players of every timezone of the world. ;-)
Like Gro said Peanuuts, practise it in day to day life.
Take a simple example like making a cup of coffee and do this speaking out loud.
“making some coffee because caffeine is so good”.
“walking to the kitchen on the east side of the house, turning right into the kitchen”.
“stack on coffee maker”.
“buffing with beans”.
“hold until I press the button”.
“flanking right (west) to grab the sugar”.
“dropping sugar into the cup”.
“four turns clockwise to stir the sugar”.
“hold, hold, hold”.
“stability up, take a mouthful”.
“loot”.
Pretty bad example but you get the idea, it’s about vocalising your internal dialogue so that others know and understand what you’re doing.
Personally I often forget to breath.

Yeah, the Golem Rush was fail.. 10 Omegas in the circle and noone in lordroomchoke.. and the only time you got more baggies from us :P. I was leading the whole day and there were not much losses, sometimes we fought both servers.. and you lost.. both
I likely use Rams and good ppl.. ask your Garrison on your Homelands :P.
GZ to Piken, they really slowly checked whats going on any they really tried to get us out of there..
PS: I will not focus or double team anything.. the only thing im looking for is good fights. I think Piken will see our Tags more often then SFR. They have the better people, they put up better fights —> more fun. (im Talinkg from the Raids you have, not from any Smallscale PPL.)
Sry for bad english.
We will be third :P! And it doenst matter!
But WE will have the fun on our side.
Hey Jon, just wanted to echo everyone who has already said thank you for the preview and for explaining the reasoning behind some of the changes. Is much appreciated by many of us and a great step towards collaboration
No prob, that’s why we wrote those out for you guys.
We’ll try to do more of that going forward!

Hello everyone,
I want to thank up to now to Vizunah and Piken. As it may seem, this match up, may look bad for us, but it doesn’t mean that we are giving up now, or in the future. We will show our strength and we will show our spirit.
I want to make sure that both servers know that we have a lot of respect to you, and as much as it seems, we can’t control everyone .
I urge people from the community to avoid posting hatred posts , e.g. posts that are negative and contain flames and accusations.
There are many factors for the reason we are not at our best, but overall, it’s the best matchup EVER. It’s a match up that we can’t slack and can’t tick high, it’s a match up that requires us to micro manage , to move troops and hold keeps, to strive for a better fight and win for glory .
I’m just wondering Junkpile, do you have any respect for YOUR server?
No really. It’s just server where i am playing. I could play somewhere else, but it’s same kitten everywhere. It’s probably even worse in servers which have strong community. They always try to tell what to do. Viz is probably hell because of troma.
Ok. That’s enlightening a lot of things. I feel sorry for the other part of SFR’s community.
Interesting. For me Junkpile is the prototypical SFR-player since ages. He shaped my picture of how SFR is. Are there people on SFR that think and post different? If yes, why don’t they publicly disagree to him?
cuz we are busy to fight in borders for try to rewamp the sfr pvp spirit, instead of spend hours on forum looking for some excuses that won’t help the server ;P
Sfr
This thread made my day.
Less QQ, more pewpew SFR loser.
Also,
Have a look at the blue line spikes, then repeat what you said. 4am, 4:40am, 8am, 4:40am. Yep, organisation, for sure. Have those spikes regularly during prime and I’d agree with your comment.
VS isn’t more. You are fewer. This was the contrary a few weeks ago (and we had absolutly the same argument), you only have to blame your own lack of motivation.
a) It’s not “me” or “my server”, I don’t play on SFR
b) Of course Viz are more, everyone is more.
c) GW2 is a game of coverage and Viz has best atm. There’s no organisation needed if your maps are queued at 6 in the morning or when the enemy went to bed. Some weeks ago it was SFR who had the better coverage and won because of off-hours. Was like that since day 1.
I forgot
Step 1: get dmg fall reduction
Step 2: find unorganised zerg (easy these days)
Step 3: lure them to cliff
Step 4: jump down and laught
Maybe just maybe some of those PvE players will start playing WvW regulary. But they will need help of WvW players not hate.
Let me start this off by saying i am not playing on a “stacked” server, I am playing on the server ranked #8th in the silver league EU (Far Shiverpeaks), The guild i am in are a WvW focused guild and I have always been a WvW player. Since the beginning of the season my guild and I haven’t been able to play WvW because of ridiculous queue times. These achievements have caused WvW to become flooded with achievement hunters. These people have had a year to try WvW and now they suddenly want to do it because of some AP’s. The real WvW players can’t even play the game because they’re stuck in queues, I don’t care if you call me elitist but Anet you should be adding some sort of system so people who have been playing WvW can actually play it.
Thanks for the lesson random clueless internet guy #153, we will treasure your precious insight.
