Guild Wars 2

It’s a step in the right direction, but if the requirements for activation are still the same then it’s crap since you have to pray the god of RNG. I want to choose when to activate it.

when you are low just use your 1000000 evades and run around until you heal up. guard has no way of catching you

With the league nearly here and everyone is foolishly stacking up at t1 servers, Anet surely got themselves quite a lot of money. Will it end here? Nope. When t1 players realize that they will only meet their “real” opponent just one time through out the whole league while having blow out match up for the rest of the league, surely a lot of them will transfer to lower tier once they got tired of PvD, especially Oceanic/SEA players. Which also means kaching to Anet.

Well played sir, well played.

A food that makes Conditions 40% more efficient is overpowered in my book.

Incidentally there is no comparable food for Power or Crit-Builds.

Crit-Builds get +10% Crit-damage at best while Power builds get +100 Power or some other effect.

I am assuming things are balanced around sPvP so why then does a Condition build get to boost their Condition efficiency by 40% while Power build get a much lower power increase?

It just further exasperates the relative power of Conditions and that’s the reason every Condition build runs with this food.

20% would be acceptable in my book.

Every player who is against GvG in WvW AND every player who supports GvG would like for the activity to have it’s own game mode. This would remove GvG from WvW, give them a truely even playing field, and let them do what they love. Win for both/all sides.

So 100% of players support a GvG game mode which could be as simple as an empty map. I’m sure they don’t even care about rewards or an in-game ranking system. Copy a map, remove all objects, call it “PvP sandbox”, and put it on the WvW or sPvP menu.

If you don’t agree about the 100% player consensus, post the reason for keeping GvG in WvW; since GvG is going to happen somewhere regardless of how you feel about it.

By not accommodating something this simple, we can assume the developers WANT to keep GvG events in WvW for some reason. Either that or they are either wildly incompetent or else completely apathetic to what 100% of their players want.

Now that’s how “Eternity” should look much more than just putting Sunrise and Twilight together, very nice. Sunrise for day, Twilight for night is good ’n all, but Eternity should have an all encompassing worldwide/space, timeless/ageless depiction.

amazing the amount of crying that goes on on the forums. Are we going to have another 10+ threads from the gvg crowd crying about the new buff now? (vocal minority and all, of course they will listen to you! /sarcasm off

Good to see your attention span is below 3 seconds, because that is how long you spent reading this thread.

This is about make losing servers lose even harder and giving an even greater advantage to servers with the bigger numbers.

Having fun in T1.

The biggest Zerg wins. It makes it easier to bash the less populated servers out of the maps even faster.

I think this video and descriptions sounds interesting.

BUT why the hell should it be part of WvW?

It would be much better as another play-mode!!!
A play-ground on it’s own for all that like bigger-scale than pvp and smaller scale than WvW.

Sperate the Maps and Speparate the score and voila. both the Pro’s and the Contra’s should be happy.

And if you already do that: Add an empty map as GvG-playground as another further mode as well.

Instead of forcing everything into the same ALREADY LAAGY mode, provide different modes for different players/moods.

Sure, let’s take out all invulnerability too.
mesmer f4, mist form, guardian elite and more

because they counter all damage, no counter play, very lame

remove stealth too because it counters an entire type of classes, i can’t attack as a ranged class if i can’t target the enemy

and AoEs, remove AoEs because it counters all the summon pets builds.

oh and root ranged classes,like mages. because that’s how balance should be

so:
Classes:
1) Warriors OP
2) Thieves OP
3) Engis OP
4) Rangers OP
5) Eles OP
6) Necromancer OP

Two guesses as to which class you play.

Actually Lord has been playing necro since before it was buffed so guess again. Dont just assume people qq about things because they cant beat them in 1v1.

If I was u I would sell it now cause new legendary will come out soon and prices for old one will drop.

Get some more 80s. Farm them on each toon!

But no, the amount hasn’t decreased.

People who, as you so nicely put it, have lives shouldnt aim to get all the achievements. That’s just my 5 cents.

So do 4 leagues in NA. This eliminates the enormous population difference from server 1 to server 12 and 13 to 24.

If you really think the server that is ranked 12th at the start of this stands any chance against the top servers you are delusional.

I never said they did. However, I’d argue that they do in fact stand a chance against the 6th ranked server and the 5th ranked server. We are not trying to only ever match you up against your closest comparable server. That was what was happening with the system before and it was bad. If you are saying you don’t ever even want the chance to try and show your skill against a higher ranked server, then I don’t know what to say.

We will continue to look into ways to change scoring to try and even out some of the population based imbalances, but that is not an easy task and it won’t happen during the season.

Devon, c’mon man…it’s not about skill. Skill is not a major factor in wvw outcomes. It never was and never will be. It’s population, population, population. And do you know what happens when you match a rank 12 server against a rank 1 server? Rank 12 goes home. That’s what happens. And if you think that’s ‘pathetic’ or something, then maybe you need to rethink what it is you are making. It’s a game and people want to have fun in a game. Being outnumbered 5 to 1 all the time is Not Fun.

In fact, it doesn’t even need to be a 1-12 difference. CD spent just 3 weeks fighting t2-3 servers and by the end of it we had pretty much given up. It’s much worse for others I hear.

Sorry, this isn’t angels in the outfield. Miracles aren’t going to happen. The outcome of matching servers with more then 1 tier of disparity is pretty much already decided.

I’m ready to go back to the old system now. I’ll take the same ‘boring’ old 3 servers every week to the way things have been: not being able to even play for weeks at a time.

DevonCarver.5370:

Your reward will be based on the server you log into the first time once the season starts. You can transfer as much as you like, but you will still get the reward from that first server.

I wonder what made you guys think that WvW is even remotely ready for something like this in it’s current state.

Anyway, when you announce such a change this early, without taking necessary precautions, you will now see more people stacking up on already filled servers, in order to win and get better rewards the easiest way possible. If anything this game needed it was some encouragement for people to spread out more, not the opposite. This just tells me that you guys are even more clueless than I first thought.

So, in Europe, we still do have some weeks to transfer to Vizunah or Seafarer’s Rest.
Giving the current trend the second choice is probably a better one.

The overall impression I have is that this league is a way to postopone any much needed important wvw upgrade some more time for some fine tuning.

Nice, but the League is a worldwide invitation to bandwagon to few server.
With a final result of huge queues in few servers and emptiness in the losing ones.

My game is primary www, my guild is www and we are in waht is now called T2.
What option do we have?
1 Transfer tomorrow in the winner server
2 Accept that we won’t get the rewards
3 Looking for a game that support RvR properly

Let us now dear A.net what we have to do, because your announcement is against any possible www balance logic

DevonCarver.5370:

Your reward will be based on the server you log into the first time once the season starts. You can transfer as much as you like, but you will still get the reward from that first server.

Which means everyone is going to transfer off low tier servers now. Why hasn’t ANET done anything to promote people coming to lower tier servers? I mean transfers to bottom tier servers should be free. That would be a good start. You can also do server type buffs (WvW exp, magic find, gold increases) to also promote these servers.

It was the only thing not addressed in the stream or the blog posted. They didn’t mention what stat allocation it was changing to. I’m assuming Assassin’s (formerly Explorer) but it could just as well be Traveler’s or Pillager’s. Is there any other stats it could change to that I’m not thinking about?

Moving to investing: What kind of price spike will it have once the patch hits, if any? I purchased some and the price has increased slightly already, but will it increase even more?

Don’t worry guis, they don’t want this game to be a farmfest.
Lol.

The game is (mainly WvW) is moving towards where the players don’t want the gamr to be. Oh well.

Looks like someone jumped the gun before it got announced on the pannel.

I’d actually like to see a period of free transfers at the end of every season, it could add more diversity to WvW.

Consider you can buy/sell legendaries this makes little sense. It’s backwards, now the new ascended weapons are things you earn but, anyone can buy a legendary,

I wouldn’t put it past you guys to introduce several gold sinks in the next few releases to handle inflation

i.e.
- materials from vendors for 500 crafting
- new cultural armors and weapons

No precursor crafting sep 3rd
No new ways to acquire precursors

Still pure rng.
Flush toilet rng.

John smith, I take it this was intended – yes?

What’s the thought process behind this? Nobody likes this system and I’m sure all of the players are curious.

I’m a pretty dedicated WvW player, and recently I’ve been seeing a massive surge of condition based characters running around. It’s namely necro/engie and they’re near impossible to kill 1v1, or even Xv1 in some cases. This is just like the broken warrior stun chain nonsense; it can be “countered”, but realistically nobody can counter as much as the spam can be inflicted.

The way that condition classes can inflict massive amounts of conditions that put out ridiculously high damage and still be relatively tanky due to their gear and build (carrion/rabid) is flat out overpowered; i can see how anet intended it to work but at this point the mechanic is broken. You can read up on the various other issues this current meta is causing on the PvP subforums to get a good idea from people who know what they’re talking about.

This isn’t a matter of “l2p” (the classic sign of someone defending something that’s broken and they play it) because there’s nothing that counters this at all. Lemongrass? Expensive and countered by Pizza. Lyssa/Melandru Runes? Pigeonhole you into being too specifically anti-condition while not being powerful enough to be worth it. Cleansing? Hardly anything can cleanse as fast as the conditions are re-inflicted.

The fact that your character needs to be defined specifically to one role be even slightly effective against the condition meta is enough to know this needs to be altered.

Necro/engie/ranger meta builds need some serious looking at and conditions need to be fixed (necro ESPECIALLY). Simple as that.

And to boot my character isn’t even a glass cannon. 18k hp, decent toughness, full exotics etc.
