They have never claimed there would be no grind.
They have claimed there would be no REQUIRED grind. Which is still very much true. You can experience every single piece of content in the game without ever grinding anything.

This should be the standard boiler-plate response to every “GRIND” complaint post on these forums. The supposed “statement” that GW2 will have “NO GRIND” is misquoted, misused and twisted for a wide variety of agendas and needs to be properly stated and used in proper context.

Thank you for stating it clearly.

They have added rather much real content since release, but for some reason people seems to ignore that.
But I suppose Fractals, new dungeon path, Southsun and Edge of the Mists (to name a few) doesn’t count for some reason?

You can’t really blame the game for a bunch of elitists either. It is the players, not the game that creates elitism. And that will happen in every game that require some sort of skill and/or gear.

thumbsup that is all I can say – great post.

Clunky and archaic? No thanks.

I use the in between fast cast mode. Hold the key, a green circle shows up, move the mouse to where I want to cast, release the key, it casts there. If the circle goes red, it’s out of range.

And remember: you can right click to cancel without activating the skill.

Your world association is not determined based on the sheer amount of time you’ve spent fighting for a world, but rather the things you’ve achieved during your time fighting with that world.

Thanks for your respons, but I am 100% certain that I’ve done way more during the season on my new server than my old one, I’ve already wrote tickets about this and they just ignored :/

It sounds like you need to finish the Spring WvW achievements with the new server in order for the association to change. But if you finished your achievements with the old server already, then you’re out of luck, unless Mark is talking about achievement points in general.

Anywhere warnhorns blow, doesn’t reaallly matter to meeee. Tooo me.

So you think you can kill me and loot my stuff!
So you think you can steal my buff!
Ohh babyyy, I’ll report you, noob babyyy
Just gotta get out, just gotta get out of the combaaat.

I’m just a poor plant, nobody loves me.

Spare him his life from this Risen Monstrosity.

I always find it funny remembering how many people despised many of the GW armours at the time and that professions like elementalists in particular never got any good armour skins.

I find the GW2 ones a vast improvement on what we had in GW1. That isn’t to say some can’t be imported over mind you and more in game skins to compliment the gem store ones.

Been playing the game since launch. Recently got a new system ankitten ow able to have everything at max setting. I always thought the game was beautiful before, but now, even more so. Here’s a screen shot of a view while doing the JP on one of the boarderlands in WvW.

Lets start a thread posting some of your beauty shots.

Here’s a nice album of the festival posted on reddit. It has quite funny commentary too so make sure u read it.

Oh man oh man oh man, I made an undignified noise at work when I read this announcement! My favourite Living Story content coming back, both of them at the same time! SO HAPPY! Just now getting into RP, too, so looking forward to dragging my terrified-of-heights character into the Zephyr Sanctum. And I never did get a chance last time to try out the Gauntlet…good thing I saved all of my tickets!

I remember my acrophobic asura Qledd being the first to cross the line in Sanctum Sprint. He was screaming the whole way through and had his eyes closed most of the time. It was his inspiration to take up aeromancy.

Straegen.2938:

Most servers already have abbreviations on the forums which would help. Also dropping the Invader part would be nice as well so we basically see something like

JQ [GLD]

You can’t drop invader, that’s the whole point of the rank system.

Zaxares.5419:

Things are still quite competitive on NA T1, from what I can see. JQ made several strong attempts to take our keeps during night time (often with near-simultaneous assaults), but we managed to fight them off.

But yeah, we’re not seeing the multi-hundred queues we saw at the start anymore. I’m guessing that population is down now that most people have completed the meta, or they’ve gone back to EotM.

NA T1 is a joke right now. TC is getting the win this week and JQ is getting the win next week. The win trading has gone on for nearly the entire season

Anyway, I’m not feeling burnt out as I’m not playing more than I normally would. Yeah, I put in some overtime the first couple of weeks, but having put in hours of overtime in S1 and knowing how burnt out you can get, I deliberately dialled my play time back

They were both tied and Blackgate isn’t present… I guess they are fighting each other normally, and the loser of this week will get the win in the next 2v1 against BG next week. So they can untie again last week, without BG presence…

/Two coppers

It is difficult to motivate people across 9 weeks of a league when they are often decided in 2 weeks. It is important that leaders/commanders work along motivational lines rather than chide , chastise and needle those who are tiring of WvW.

In short, make it fun and many will attend WvW.

Never seen this in game, only on the forums.

It’s only because in creation process, you “bind” these components to your account. Although if you just buy Eternity, you don’t even touch it’s components, so I believe you are left out with only Eternity’s skin itself.

This.

Dear ArenaNet,
I enjoyed last the four winds very much. I was jumping like crazy all over the place. I love jumping puzzles and able to get to places we should not supposed to get. So my question is, will we ever able to get on top of the Zephyrites Ship? Trust me, I have tried. It was almost like someone wanted for me to get there, but then I just could only dream of it.
Here is a video of me trying to get to the top.

It would be really cool if we could jump from airship to another. Not for the reward, but for hardcore maniacs who like the challenge!

They’ve won. Bazaar of the Four Winds is the best content IMHO, I’ll enjoy this thing all week long!

Deodra.9480:

So, like most people I had to take a leave and blahblah

tl;dw — I have 143 Fortune Scraps and the backs are 150.
Is there any sort of thing I can do to get 7 of them or should I am I just “SoL” ?
Do they drop from that Twilight Arbor Path or is it just Blade Scraps?

I really did like the skins and just never had enough time and grind them (/qq)

…Can I beg a mod or something?
Also if this is on the wrong forum I apologize I wasn’t really sure where to post it.

Ask and ye shall receive! Lol.

I just received an ingame mail with a molten dye and a cinders dye to replace those lost on a character that I had deleted months before the account bound dyes system. Considering I never even had to send in a support message (and had frankly even forgotten about it), it was a pleasant surprise and shows fantastic retroactive account support on your part.

So, thanks. You’ve done me a great favor and earned some more respect from an already loyal fan.
