Guild Wars 2

It was certainly pretty… but that was about it. It literally told us NOTHING we haven’t already known for the last 3 months.

It’s kind of funny (if it wasn’t so sad), map chat is FULL of people with optimism that they are going to get to kill scarlet and see some big reveal at the top of the tower… I didn’t have the heart to tell them the truth.

It was the very essence of flash over substance. An awesome looking cinema that didn’t progress the story or reveal anything we didn’t already know.

Can all the American servers please stop de cry on the forums and act more like European servers. Where we talk about stuff like this in match-up threads where it belongs, because nobody cares.

I agree. All these T1 people keep posting about their match ups in the discussion thread like we care.

News flash: we don’t care.

maybe you could explain your stealthing Necro please?

Dear iorlas,

Although the VcY Corporation™ has been silent for 2 days, we felt proper analysis of the issues presented can only be expected from any serious enterprise. We have now finalised our research and are ready to present you the results.

Specifically for you, the VcInquisition™ has gone through our employee base to identify the potential culprit. After proper investigation, we were unable to relate any of our active necromancers to any “stealth” event. As such, we are ready to conclude that we must have an invisible necromancer, as he did not appear to be visible in the guild roster, WvW, yesterday’s GvG activities or any aspect related to us. We will continue to monitor the situation and have informed all VcY members and allies to please watch where they run, in order not to cause potential bruises to our invisible helper. Also, we would like to remind you that our “Thief” stealth devices will be 33% off during the Christmas holiday week to welcome more pacifist players to the otherwise cruel WvW environment.

We did, however, spot that one of our Asura necromancers had an uncanny talent to analyse Norn anatomy from below, especially of those wearing the curtain-ornamented T3 heavy armour. Said individual provided a strong defence: “I was checking if they already released the bikini skin.” and corporate lawmen have validated this as a plausible explanation not in direct violation with company policies. We are currently considering our future options in this case.

We are also investigating the recent activities of one affiliate branch in the VcY holding. We have been made aware by employees that VcTechnologies™ is conducting “savage” experiments not covered by corporate insurance. Reports of trebuchet-driven cow flights are well-documented and the VcY holding is currently looking into Asura claims of being “tossed around like a ball by hammer-wielding barbarians that clearly need a bath”.

VcTechnologies™ flight expert Caiconardo da Vinci, our resident scientist, has recently proposed the use of wings as a more humane means of obtaining airlift, citing the movement of doves as his source of inspiration. Our VcAir™ initiative is currently not yet in the open testing phase, but you can stay updated about all our latest activities and major scientific advances by following our corporation on Twitter @VelocityEU.

For now, we will release the image below as preliminary promotional material and advise everyone to not use the unsafe and overpriced Charr helicopters or Asuran airships as personal transportation means. (Remember Orr!)

World’s first self-propelled Guardian flight attempt!

VcY does not condone, support or fund any hacks, cheats or acts that violate ArenaNet’s TOS and we strive to maintain this policy. If you do have clear evidence (e.g. videos), please send them to our guild leader (Caic) or me.

Kind regards,
Ax

Here we go… suddenly he appears

Unless you’re going to argue that getting 3 stacks of bloodlust also takes equal effort to earning 230 world experience levels (which also require a trade off in NOT getting other skills), I don’t see the problem with it giving less stats.

Turns out, MMOs (almost every one) favor older players. Sorry.

Let me tell you about a town. This town had a tradition. Once a year every one in the town would get together and pull straws out of a hat. One straw was shorter then the others. Whoever pulled the short straw was forced out of the crowd.

The crowd then picked up stones off the ground and threw them at the person with the short straw till he/she died.

When asked why they stoned someone to death every year, the townfolk replied

“Why, that’s just the way it is. We’ve always done things that way.”

…
…

Do you see the problem here? Just because something is ‘tradition’ doesn’t make it right, nor does it mean it shouldn’t be changed.

It is the 7th episode of The Lowbie Adventrues series, this time with a level 20 scepter/focus condition ele. Really strange weapon choice for roaming/dueling, i know, but i needed the defensive skills of the focus to compensate the lack of traits. I guess this was one of the reasons i could won those fights, cause many players dont know the focus skills and animations (they were mostly new for me), the other reasons of course the opponents were bad (or uppity), and low level upscaling is OP a bit (3k armor and 22k HP with 1,6k condi dmg on ele, lol).
Anyway, this is just for fun, hope you like it.

srsly have u ever attempted to use earth shaker on a slope? i say attempted because IT DOES NOT WORK ON DIFFERENT ELEVATIONS.

so anet if u decide (which i recommend u dont) to nerf its damage YOU BETTER MAKE SURE U FIX THE CONTROL SIDE OF IT.

warriors sound off DO NOT LET ANET THINK ITS OK TO NERF ITS DMG BUT NOT FIX ITS BUGGYNESS!

ps this has been an issue since day one.

She’s a great detective, she’s a good necromancer, and she knows a lot about poison… does that really sound so crazy?

Well, the previous event when she showed up made me think she was rather poor necromancer, with no abilities whatsoever. This is the first time someone mentioned she’s competent at anything.
Her being smarter than Logan did not say much – after all, pretty much anyone is smarter than Logan.

(just to be clear – i agree with you that she’s no Mary Sue. I just don’t consider her one for a different reason).

She is a bad Necromancer. She got owned during the first instance fights.

So did Trehearne.

i think its about time for anet to come here there isn’t much of a discusion without half the parties.

I agree, I hope Devon and his team really read all of the suggestions and think about them, sure were not always right but there is nothing wrong with admitting that some of the ideas are really good and worth investigating. This would probably bump Devon up a notch or two with the players if he came here open minded and ready to work together. I can see why he might be a bit reluctant, were not always the easiest people to please and one wrong sentence could mean the wolves are snapping at his ankles.

A lot of writing and very little reading in this thread. Everyone just says what he wants to say and very few check what others have said.

Anet, you shouldn’t leave this thread for a couple of days, stay active, engage and direct the conversation/discussion or you’ll just have a bunch of messages directed straight at you and not an actual discussion.

Do you remember when Halloween farming was fun?

Guild Wars 1 remembers.

“Everyone knows I log on to AFK 90% of the time.” ha ha ha ha ha

We all know now what your server is about – no skill, no bravery, no expertise – so no glory can ever be sensed by any of your server members.

If we do not win, we do so knowing we gave every breathe of effort possible to every fight. We do not sit around waiting until the opponent(s) are not present so we can cheat our titles. Shame on you. Did you not learn anything from the Battle of Waterloo? When will you learn, you just haven’t got it in you, at a species capability level. Roll on next week, when we can have decent hard-fought fights again, (don’t shake FR readers), and we can be rid of these plebians who know not how to win in war.

I would want to apologize to any FR or anyone else taking offence by this person’s rude and offensive remarks in the area bolded by me. As an FSPer, I am ashamed to see him as a commander with such a foul behaviour as this.

Only thing I agree on is that warriors mobility should get nerfed slightly. Like a range reduction on the skills. Bringing Rush to 900 would be a nice start.

They need the same treatment as Ele got with Ride The Lightening, if you dont hit someone with it then it gets a VERY high cool down.

First you have to fix rush because in the current state it almost never actually hits a moving target. Its bugged as hell.

yeah, let’s make rush heat seeking … warriors miss it.

seriously, it’s the same skill as RTL, why such a different treatment ?

In theory craft both skills are the same. In reality they are totally different. I play both warrior and ele in WvW for 12 month now and this is what I observed:

- RTL movement is roughly 50% faster than Rush.
- RTL hits moving targets much more reliable than Rush.
- RTL is not effected by cripple and chill.
- Rush distance while crippled or chilled is reduced by approx. 75%.
- Rush has a huge pre-cast time before it actually hits the target. Target just have to do a sidewalk to let Rush miss. No dodging necessary.
- Rush regularly doesnt stop at the target, instead it moves further away from the target.

Thats the reasons why nobody uses Rush offensively. As a result Rush is rarely on cooldown + can be used to disengage from fights.

Being one of the many FSP WvW veterans. And I think I can speak for all of them at this moment. ArenaNet it is a shame that all those noob PvE’ers are screwing up our WvW. Stupid living story achievement!

If you only had placed it under WvW catagory so they did not see it that easily we could have had normal fights in WvW, no PvE noobs and to be honoust no freaking qeues.

I have waited yesterday for freaking 3 hours to get into at least 1 borderland… I am sorry to say this. Anet you failed us.

To FR server, blobbing is only because there are too many PvE noobs and you guys might have the same problem. Look at last week matchup. Such a close call. Both FR and FSP had great fights, equal numbers and more important no qeues so we could go anywhere we wanted.

To UW server, it’s a shame that you guys are not part of this matchup. It is now only FR vs FSP. Too bad in my opinion. Anet it might be an idea to just delete UW server from the WvW server list?

I presume this is more than just colours being integrated. I mean, I can’t see much testing required to add different colours to pins.
