The whole “just gotta dodge” cant apply for 3rd level since you literally have to dodge something every few seconds or take the hit that will kill u if your vitality and toughness is not way up there or if you don’t have enough cleanse/escape skills to negate the constant DoT’s and knockdowns

Wait… so you’re saying that if you don’t adjust your build for the content the content might beat you?

Gee, never saw that coming.

Cynz.9437:

if you play a thief, reroll please <<< that is message i got from tower

i love when ppl say, make another build… no matter what build you run thieves ARE glassy since their survival is non existant almost

stealth through? ayee……. can’t stealth through aoe

i did make it to the last instance but basically by walking over other ppl bodies

tbh i can deal with poison and other crap, but devs obsession with confusion really kills any content for me lately

Sorry to break it to you, it is doable as a thief solo, I did it solo all the way up and the last instance aswell, just joining random other solo players as we did the events to open the walls to the next levels. Actually stealth is a huge advantage in there.

Maybe it is just you…

Awesome content, dangerous npcs that actually require some tactics and strategy, no oneshot AOE next to no imunities and still dangerous, FREAKING AWESOME STUFF THERE!!!!

@the ASH necro in gombl ill beat you one day you and your smelly conditions shakes fist although that last fight was rather close. /salute oh and for the record i am a shatter mes on the squishier side…i think jambohammer has more problems then conditions and perplexity runes.

ill gladly duel u if u wanna talk kitten and ill crush u. cuz necros are pretty simple if there not cheese running perplex and even with perplex necros have very little stun and daze so it would be pretty useless and just the fact that u didnt beat him shows u have no right to even call me out little man when u grow a pair let me know cuz ill sit u down on my mes war and thief funny part of ur post is i never died to a shatter mes so i probs killed u alot this week cuz i did fight alot of shatter mesmers

……………

Free periods, take as many as you need sir.

Also are we back on perplexity again sir?

Good News.

One suggestion I’d make would be to launch OAuth with only a small set of APIs behind them, preferrably ones that are on the less sensitive side of the scale. Then release additional APIs later as they are ready.

This would allow the community to get the libraries and implementations working and well understood, as well as working through any unforseen issues with the OAuth layer. (When does /anything/ ever work at scale the way it did on the drawing board?)

Should there be any issues with security, then the exposure would be limited.

Not to mention, it would help build and keep excitement up. The lull of late has likely dampened the mood of several developers.

Look, I understand, Henge of Denravi wants to feel kitten but I am going to give you tough love. It’s ’cause I care.

Henge of Denravi wins no fights. They haven’t won a fight in 5 weeks. To win fights, you have to be at fights. A week before leagues, Henge of Denravi heard there might be fights and ran away and hid so that there would be no chance of fights for 7 weeks.

So there can’t be posts about Henge of Denravi bravado, ’cause WvW is about fights you guys made sure to avoid fights for all of the league.

Maybe after this league you will come out stronger and that would be nice to see but for now when tested did you show unyielding courage? No. Unrelenting bloodlust? No. Willingness to stack the odds so high as to show your quality? No. =(

And don’t forget that all three servers that were on the brink of moving up to silver league “slowed down” the week or two prior to leagues. This is not an isolated case of “HoD is tanking they are kitten” because everyone did it that had a chance of moving up but in the end it was NSP that moved up (and probably rightly so). It’s not a question of the server but of human nature.

“Slowed down?” More like tucked tail and hid under the rug. NSP tried to do the same but got called out on it, and their roaming guilds that don’t normally care about PPT actually rose up to carry their server to silver. I still like my pals on HoD and SF, but as whole servers, you’re still a bunch of cowards for tanking to dodge silver league.

Call it whatever you want. Slowed down, tanked, whatever, but every server that was about to move up did it. It’s not our servers, it’s human nature. Don’t act like your server would do anything different in the same situation because they wouldn’t. Even if your personal position would be to move up (I was of the same opinion in terms of HoD) would the rest of your server feel the same way?

I’m not doubting that we don’t have our fair share of players that would consider it, but I can say with absolute certainty that GoM would never tank a match on purpose, simply because the leadership of our largest WvW guilds (the ones that can most affect a scoring rise or drop) are way too gung ho to even consider the idea of tanking. It would be a different story if more passive people were in charge (like in the case of NSP and [Os]), but a vast majority of our commanders are downright nuts.

Low rank servers occasionally receive guilds transferring down.

But not the ones rated “very high” population.

This is broken.

Please stop arguing against a fix.

Nobody.

No one is more important than the other and everyone paid to play the game so they all deserve a fair chance to play WvW. I understand where many of you are coming from with these threads on how to change the queues, but they need to stop. Almost every thread with an idea wouldn’t work and Anet wouldn’t support it.

A queue should simply act like a queue and thats it.

Remove everyone from every servers. Rename 24 global servers (no more NA or EU but GLOBAL): make everyone choose a server after these change : implement a lower cap on population on every of these server. Start leagues. Here you have 24 random servers that have all equals chances. Next season repeat the same: remove everyone from servers, rename them all, etc…

This^^ With the exception of keeping NA and EU separate for lag reasons.

Remember, this is a thread about “World Population”. It needs to be even across servers. Right now it is not.

actually, this thread is less about fixing population imbalance, and more about addressing the problems it causes.

Then in my opinion this thread will be a waste of time. Just about every proposal I’ve seen to simply address the score imbalance caused by population imbalance would either be ineffective or could easily be abused. If we aren’t going to see some serious effort from ANet to equalize match populations then WvW is doomed and I will go find something else to do until ESO or some more intelligently crafted game comes out. You can equalize the score without fixing the population balance, but you can’t equalize the scope and entertainment value of the match without it. It’s that simple.

DevonCarver.5370:

I wanted to further discuss a couple of ideas. Firstly, several posts have called for reduced map caps in WvW. The problem that would create is that we’d be allowing even fewer people to play in a given period of time if we were to do that. So I wonder if there is another way to accomplish the same goal, while not disenfranchising people who would now be unable to get into the maps? It’s a hard problem because the more populated servers face long queues while the less populated ones face empty maps. From my perspective there aren’t a ton of good options, which is why discussing this problem is pretty important.

I don’t understand… It seems your solution is written into the post itself?

Do you not think population imbalances are a problem? If you are not even willing to acknowledge that then this thread is a collosal waste of time.

The Game Slayer.7632:

Okay buddy you are completely right. Everything you say is right. You know what is good and bad for this game. you know it all. Me, many elementalists, and the a-net balancing team are clearly wrong.

you just keep on at it, in your own, little world

Indeed, everyone knows that ele is decent as a Jack of All Trades. That’s why:

• every single serious team in pvp has an elementalist
• every decent dungeon team uses eles because they are versatile, not because they are might stacking bots spamming 1
• every wvw zerg uses eles for their versatality, not because they are water field spammers

Personally, I finished my Twilight and have enough for a 2nd, I am ranting on behalf of all those I see daily that will be severely impacted by this.

It’s official, you guys are the kings of leeching fun from a game.

Ohh don’t worry. I just recently came back after almost a year being away. I have figured out that the best way to enjoy this game and I do mean this sincerely is to use the same RNG generator ANet uses for your gem purchases. So far before they introduced Ascended they were budgeted for $20 a month from me. Since coming back I’ve tied the purchases to RNG of drops. Still haven’t had to get the credit card out once yet! It’s awesome!

Are you kidding me? This is the best thing that’s happened in a long time. You know how when you down a sylvari and then some krait runs over to res them? Yeah, they don’t like to stop trying. So if one were to, I don’t know, drop an AoE on the downed mob, you could get two kills for the price of one. More importantly, this shifts the focus away from lelelellelelelelzerker and lelelelleehealthpools towards what could potentially be interesting gameplay that allows you to prioritise disabling /not necessarily killing/ the biggest problem first and dealing a ton of damage to the poor saps who try to get him back in the fight. I don’t know, maybe I’m insane for wanting gameplay with more depth than autoattack x guys till they die?

We’re probably 15 months too late for this conversation.

What I mean by the title is make is so you can buy just one or 2 pieces of a armor instead of buying it as a whole set.
Lets say if I just wanted to get the krytan medium chest armor I would have to buy the whole set and then be left with armor I wont use and can’t do much with it but toss it into my bank or delete it. But if you made it so I can buy just the chest piece ( or any other piece) a lot more people would spend the gems on armor you can even make it so buying each piece separately is more expensive then buying the set like the med krytan is currently 500gems if you make each piece 100gems then it would cost 600 gems if you bought it all separately then as a set. The 800gem armors would be like 150gems for each piece making it 900gems total.
I know I would personally love being able to buy certain pieces of armor skins I mean I can buy what ever armor look I want in game separately just not in the gem store.

We should make a form letter for people to fill out, because these posts always follow the same format.

Yah it seems the living story is all about gurlpower. Scarlet in the spotlight, Queen Jenna in the spotlight, Marjory, Lady Kasmeer, Kiel.
Logan and Faren only make an appearance when they need someone to fail (comicaly).

Some more character diversity would be great.

Did you ever stop and think that in order to do the Halloween finisher achievment some people didn’t want to go into either WvW or the heart of the mists?

Sometimes when they implement things such as this it is to try to make the purely PvEers happy. Maybe deal with it for now and when the Halloween is over then complain. For now though I am sure many players that didn’t know how to complete the achievement will be happy they can finally do it.

This thread illustrates perfectly how people will whine and moan about the smallest things, like four second delays to kills.

You must not have played World of Warcraft

That is indeed the worst UI ever made, but WoW doesn’t look like that lol.

Yeah, honestly i liked that about WoW, you had the power to make your UI as cluttered or non cluttered as you prefered. Some people see that UI as a mess, but i see it as personalized.
