Wow I didn’t know SAB ate up months of 8 developers time. That really puts into perspective where all the effort in this game goes too lol. That is really disheartening.
Lol its disheartening to know that they are putting effort into their work? That they are spending the time to make things that people like?
Do you not realize that development takes a lot of time? From concept to implementation requires a lot of team cooperation and man hours, even for something as simple as SAB. You have initial design to think about – how it will function, how it will look, how it interacts with existing design elements. Then you have initial coding – which there’s a lot more to than many people think. Testing…then more coding….more testing, etc and so on until the final push to the live servers. For non-developers, this probably doesn’t seem like a lot or even like it’s all that much work, but it is. It really is.
I think the complaint is that 8 developers spent months working on (admitedly fun) temporary content instead of fixing the numerous bugs that the community and devs know about. There are core mechanics that exist permanently in the game that continue to go unattended. I know Anet has various teams, each focusing on their own thing. But why would you skimp on a team that can’t fix bugs that have been present since launch (ie – engineer scope trait) and affect permanent everyday play, but instead create temporary content? That is the complaint.
Exactly. Why add a a jump puzzle with bad graphics and clunky boss fights when there are still game breaking bugs in WvW and class balance is in shambles. I haven’t seen an engineer in days, I think the last one I saw made one by accident. Yes this is an exaggeration, but it won’t be as long as they keep ignoring the game itself and adding mini games and temporary content instead of fixing core problems that have been here for a while, some since release.
It’s disheartening to think they think the game is good enough by itself to waste time on mini games for it, when half the classes aren’t even really playable in a variety of situations.
RIP my fair Engi and Ranger, you will be missed.
It’s funny how a few days ago FA posters accused TC of having a “mega game of befriending one of the other servers”.
And ever since then FA players have posted non-stop about how skilled DB is…
DB will meet us in the field and creates a fun dynamic because they seem to enjoy fighting at least as much as their PPT. Our bad for expressing our enjoyment at the change after over a month of stale gameplay.
So when you’re expressing that you like a server because they play like you do, it’s a compliment.
But when TC expresses that they like a server because they play in a way we like, it’s because “evil TC tries to make friends with other servers as part of their meta game”.
Way to have your cake and eat it too.
I don’t think they care as long as TC doesn’t get any cake. Poor TC

Not sure what to say to that really since it’s heartening to me…maybe GW2 isn’t the game for you?
Yes because a temporary mini game…thing…. isnt for me the whole game must not be.
Wow. Just wow. Thanks for the laugh.

@synk.6907
That’s not the armor skin we are talking about
@Croark.3402
That’s not the medium-armor Commando armor set displayed in the mists.ù
Refrain from posting wrong information to prevent further confusion on an already quite confusing matter.
Just… do you guys even read before posting?
Synk was not referring to your commando problem, He was responding to invictus looking for tribal armor skins.

People who are vocal about the game actually care about the game; even if their arguments are irrational. Their opinions and feedback matter. Why? *Because casual players don’t care.
Casual players don’t post on forums. Don’t talk with others on voip, don’t type anything in chat, don’t write guides, don’t find exploits, don’t abuse game mechanics, don’t provide feedback and just generally don’t care about pretty much anything.*
If we met face-to-face, I would put you in the hospital for that comment. I am a casual player and I actually care about this game. I want to see this game work so well that every boast that they’ve made towards this game is true and real. One of the factors that help make this game amazing is the community but that is by a long shot because the recent generation of gamers is comprised of alot of Hardcore.
I could say this same comment about these Hardcore gamers because they are the ones who try to convince everyone that MMOs are about PvP more than the main game. They are the ones who only care about THEIR status in the game and will ruin it to fulfill their own agenda. They will step on people just to get better scores.there might be some Hardcore that care but most of Hardcore only care about themselves.
I don’t agree with what Calae said, but I definitely don’t agree with this either. There are just as many ill-tempered casuals as there are hardcores that will step all over anyone and anything to get what they want. This really goes both ways, technically you are both right. A casual player won’t invest the time into a long winded guide for a class, but a hardcore player might belittle a casual for not reading said guide.
Double edged sword.
RIP my fair Engi and Ranger, you will be missed.
D/D is still powerful, So is staff for zerg busting. Honestly bunker ele’s are still going to be strong in WvW when played well, even with the nerfs. There are still options available to Ele’s but they have screwed them quite a bit lately.
RIP my fair Engi and Ranger, you will be missed.
More money drained into WvW now. Can you increase money rewards for events in WvW? If we using the badges to buy the gear etc and upgrade keeps and drop siege down most of time we lose money while WvWing. please increase rewards so that those of us doing the things we supposed to in WvW net some gold.
Boy that would be nice. Nothing like finishing a 6 hour WvW session 25 silver richer. Yawn.
RIP my fair Engi and Ranger, you will be missed.
They did it to my Omnomberrys, i’m doing it to Lemongrassers

I think we are missing the point here guys, according to what someone posted on page 1, we can now purchase skins for our weapons that have been available on the TP since day 1 for silvers! VICTORY!
RIP my fair Engi and Ranger, you will be missed.
Guys you are really being un fair, they are aware of the issue and will fix the problem very soon.
On top of that, you are complaining about Live one time event Content which is a step of a different direction than rehashed repeated boring contented of World of Warcraft which only provides content every 3 months and so call proclaim that it will never happen again.
Honestly people, no resources were wasted, the more different variety of content they can throw out for people to enjoy or try something different, makes the MMO much more alive than the current ones we know that are out dated.
well atleast WoW don’t call a patch a xpac worth of content.
since the living story came out WoW has 2 patches out 5.1 and the new raid teir 5.2 with 5.3 around the corner what did gw2 get ? 30mins worth of a story maybe per month?
It actually causes me physical pain to agree with this, but this guy has a point. Even Blizzard who is notoriously slow at putting out new content is moving faster than Anet these days.
RIP my fair Engi and Ranger, you will be missed.
The guild siege comes from finishing Guild Missions. Great!
What else were you expecting.
A merchant we could buy guild siege blueprints off of for an increased fee, but to promote our guild in WvW and to have a sense of pride would of been nice. Didn’t realize they were going to roll it into guild missions. Small guilds once again left behind if this is true, but I haven’t logged in yet today to find out.
RIP my fair Engi and Ranger, you will be missed.
Permanent content with seasonal holiday events. No 2 week dungeons or anything like that, all this means is my friend who I’m trying to suck into GW2 right now with stuff like living story just makes him not want to buy the game, especially since SAB is gone now, which I didn’t care for, but was nearly a selling point for the entire game for him.
Temporary content will not give you the population increases you want Anet, if anything it just attempts to keep the current population stable.
RIP my fair Engi and Ranger, you will be missed.
All I can imagine is a dungeon full of feathers or is populated by risen chickens.
Oh my god I just got a mental image of Zhaitan flying into LA and thousands of risen chickens jumping off his back.

A serious legendary Mace would be nice. And bow. Honestly all the non sword legendaries sans maybe Frostfang and Bifrost need work.
RIP my fair Engi and Ranger, you will be missed.
Just wanted to thank Mayoken, you are a joy to WvW with and follow, as is the rest of your guild. Thanks, look forward to working with you guys more
RIP my fair Engi and Ranger, you will be missed.
Sad how you can’t even publish proper patch notes because you have the language threshold at a G rating. Elixikittenll got a lot of changes this patch apparently!
This actually got a good chuckle out of me. Good point.
RIP my fair Engi and Ranger, you will be missed.
in regards to what build i run in wvw:
i use a 10/5/30/20/5 trait spread using meditations for mobility and spot condition removal/damage.
weapons are knights sword/focus air/force (respectively) and zerker hammer with fire.
armor is full knight’s with 6 lyssa runes for mass condition control.
trinkets are a zerker/zerker backpack and amulet with valkyrie/valkyrie (beryl/beryl) rings and earrings.
for slot skills, i have Shelter as my heal, Judge’s Intervention, Smite Condition, and Stand Your Ground as utilities, and Renewed Focus for my elite.
This setup comes with a lot of damage and the control to pull it off with some nice durability coming from Monk’s Focus and 5 seconds of near invulnerability.
I really appreciate that, thanks! I have a mixture of knight’s/zerker/cavalier atm so it shouldn’t be too hard to give that build a test shot. Thanks for the info
RIP my fair Engi and Ranger, you will be missed.
It is dead unless you stick to starting areas, certain dungeons, wvw, or Orr.
There’s a server where people got to Orr? Where?
Tarnished Coast usually has 10 or so people on it, and we even group together!
Cool! I love you TC guys, will have to guest there sometime and try to finish up Orr. It’s a shame we have to kill each other right now
RIP my fair Engi and Ranger, you will be missed.
Alright I’m done trying to defend content for the duelers of the world, you guys are on your own, god willing someone more eloquent than me can help you. I still do not feel it’s right to exclude people when it doesn’t affect you either way. In all honesty the only reason I want them added is to get duelers out of WvW anyway :P
I’m not excluding anyone. I’m asking not to be included in it, which is a very different thing.
If you say so. To each their own

Hey I have a similar list for those that constantly want to enforce this pathetic notion of open world PvP on us:
1. Content Jealousy (PvE has better and bigger areas. PvP’ers who don’t like WvWvW can’t simply just request to duel there.)
2. False assumptions (Some assume PvE goers are ‘carebears’ or ‘scared’ when in reality we just want PvP in its rightful corner of the game while we have ours.)
3. People worried about more lagAnd guess what I am still waiting for a good reason why people who want open world duel allowed to happen beyond the “I want it, you care bears” attitude that permeates through this forum.
I’m not sure where you are coming from, and there is a lot of anger. Not once in this thread have I said the words “scared” or “carebear”, and the only negative comments I see are from people who wouldn’t use the feature anyway so it doesn’t affect them, they just don’t want others to have something that may at some point in time once in 6 months affect them possibly they think.
RIP my fair Engi and Ranger, you will be missed.
This is a really long post for something that could be handled by check to turn off duel requests.
If that’s all you got from that, you weren’t reading clearly. You can turn off duel requests, and it would stop some 12 year old from following me around and whispering me, if they decide they want to duel me. I’ve had it happen in other games, even ones where you could turn off duel requests. That’s because people who want to duel people, sometimes do it to grief people.
So what’s to stop people from whispering me about dueling, talking in map chat about how I won’t duel them, etc.
You really need to read more carefully. A check box doesn’t solve the problem.
They have a block function, and I am aware it is bugged atm, they should fix that too while they are at it. I see what you are saying, I just don’t see how it’s a problem when the tools to deal with that situation are given to you freely.
RIP my fair Engi and Ranger, you will be missed.

I am a casual gamer. I have a full time job, family commitments, and (gasp!) other hobbies. I typically play GW2 for about 2-3 hours a day after I come home from work, or up to 6 hours sometimes during weekends, when I do not have other engagements. Playing video game, playing this MMO, is a hobby. Like any hobbies, I sometime spend a little bit more money on it (in GW2 case, some gems) because it makes me happy. Like I sometimes spend real cash on movies (sometimes 2 movies within a day), DVD, books, and other single-player video games. Video games are great distraction and I enjoy quite a bit.
So, I don’t get the hate or rage I sometimes see on this forum. It is like as if Anet has cause you to go bankrupt, or Anet has slept with your girlfriend behind your back or something, or Anet has insulted your mother. For goodness sake, Guild Wars 2 is just a game.
I see every nerf as a challenge. My current build became less viable because a major skill is nerfed? I take it as a challenge to readjust and rebuild my character. Getting the end-game gears is so bloody easy in this game, I already have a few set of exotic armor just to cater for different builds I am experimenting. Re-distribution of trait points is so easy and inexpensive.
I understand that people raged if the character they spent hundreds of dollars building up (like in those pay-to-win “F2P” MMO, or MMO that required monthly sub), and suddenly that character is nerfed. You are entitled – because you spent obscene amount of real cash on it. But Guild War 2? No monthly sub, no pay-to-win. So why are people raging as if Anet owes them a living? What kind of mentality is this?
Let’s have mature discussion about nerf/changes, how it impact us as players. It is not the end of the world that some posts make it looks like.
Wait…my GF said Anet was just a friend OH THE HUMANITY
RIP my fair Engi and Ranger, you will be missed.
I find it funny that so many people complain about a system that doesn’t exist. No one is saying that a duel system has to be based around invites. It could be exactly the same system as Costume Brawl. I.e. you set up a (free) “duel box”, and other players can then accept your duel by using the same box.
Which would duels still allow to happen in places where I don’t want them. Keep those anoying effects and sounds out of my field of view, allow them only in certain areas and you can have it, otherwise I am and will always be a no.

The reasons you guys don’t want dueling are some of the most absurd ones I’ve ever heard.
I mean seriously, of all the things to whine and complain and stamp your feet about it’s combat animations?
" Well I don’t want someone using an ability when I feel they shouldn’t so forget what they want even though it doesn’t even affect me since I can turn duel requests off.
Since I don’t want it no one should have it ever!" /crying tears etc etcThis is basically how this reads.
There have been many reasons, and many suggestions made. The main issue is this has been talked about to death. Players have already gone over and over the different reasons and different compromises proposed in many threads in many sub forums. Myself, at this point, I just do not feel like going over the whole discussion again for the umpteenth time. If you really want to know, read the forums instead of starting new threads. Asking the same question over and over and expecting to get a different answer is usually thought of as a sign of insanity.

No one asked you to, and I’m not going to read a 5 page long old thread when there is a new thread right here.

It’s been discussed. No need to rehash it over and over again in a new thread when the old thread is still there. That is why the mods have to keep moving these threads and merging them because some people are just to lazy to bother reading.
I found the answers unsatisfactory, so the thread will continue. Thanks. If the mods feel they need to merge it, let them merge it. As of now this is a separate and newer thread, and I have to see any compelling argument to keep people from dueling who want to duel. So far I have seen
1. Content Jealousy
2. False assumptions

You continue to ignore the people that say we don’t want OPEN WORLD dueling. We could care less if you had dueling locked away in the mists somewhere, just not around us. Some of us don’t want to play with people, or even hang around people with that mind set.
Like I’m standing in a supermarket and some guy comes up to me and says, “wanna duel”? I’m like ummm. no. I want to to finish shopping.
“What you’re scared I can beat you?”
“No. I don’t want to get your blood on my groceries. Go away.”
(Jumping up and down) “This old guy is scared to get beaten up by a much younger and stronger guy!”
I shake my head, take my shopping cart and walk to the next aisle with the guys jumping up and down following me. No thanks.
I’ve done most of my fighting…real fighting in real life. I grew up in Brooklyn in the 70s and there was plenty of violence to go around. I’ve probably had more real fights than most people here. It wasn’t much fun…not even when you won.
The point is, I’m like well past that now, and I don’t mind if you kids go beat each other to death in the next room, but I’d prefer to be left out of it.

this originally started as a project for mjolnir waaay back in november. i had gift of lightning all made and just needed the last 250 charged lodestones. i got to about 26 when i realized that i didnt really want to play a hammer guard anymore, and not a whole lot use 1h-sword. so i sold my remaining lodestones, bought a kitten ton of mats, and trod down the road of acquiring a legendary. a special shoutout to one of my in-game friends, who had the patience to teach and farm cof p1 with me. /salute Marcus Belmont
I wish I had the cajones to make a 1h sword build on my guardian, but everytime I try 1h sword feels like less damage and less healing than nearly every other weapon. It’s a kitten shame because the reason I made a guardian in the beginning was for sword and board :P

Makes the Mists pointless, it is the PvP only zone/world
If you want duels, go there, they are adding custom arena’s for that freakin reason anyway, stop being kitten
If I wanted to play arena’s I’d play Rift or WoW, and I’m sure many others feel the same, that’s why they are asking for duels in the world with your actual characters that you would use in WvW since it actually has people playing it.
RIP my fair Engi and Ranger, you will be missed.
While they’re on it, allow costume brawls only on these arenas as well. They’re breaking every last bit of immersion.
Costume Brawls are the worst excuse for content I have ever seen in this game, sans maybe the F&F event (signs lol).
But you don’t see me saying they should be removed from the game just because it ruins immersion and makes a bunch of crap I don’t want to see on my screen when the kiddos get brawl happy. Same goes for dueling imo, if the kiddos wanna duel for real and not have a costume brawl, what’s the difference?
RIP my fair Engi and Ranger, you will be missed.
This game is going to be a tough fit for you if your favorite part of WoW was loot and dungeons. This game does neither well at all, dungeons don’t begin till around level 30 and there is no LFG in game at the moment. There also is no loot treadmill until you hit 80, and even then it’s a weak one. This game is more about exploring the world and zone wide events.
There is a website once you get up to your 30s you can use to find groups known as gw2lfg.com. Just be aware, people troll it often, and will drop you sometimes if a zerker warrior strolls by.
Good luck, and I hope the DE’s and Hearts keep you entertained because I don’t think you will be happy with the dungeons in this game.

" Well I don’t want someone using an ability when I feel they shouldn’t so forget what they want even though it doesn’t even affect me since I can turn duel requests off.
Since I don’t want it no one should have it ever!" /crying tears etc etcThis is basically how this reads.
There have been many reasons, and many suggestions made. The main issue is this has been talked about to death. Players have already gone over and over the different reasons and different compromises proposed in many threads in many sub forums. Myself, at this point, I just do not feel like going over the whole discussion again for the umpteenth time. If you really want to know, read the forums instead of starting new threads. Asking the same question over and over and expecting to get a different answer is usually thought of as a sign of insanity.
Here is just one of the other threads to get you started.

I’m not sure if this was directed at me or not, so I’m going to skip the small novel. If it’s the same reasons that are being gone over in this thread, then they are going to have to do better than that.

Perhaps I just havnt seen it but why are duels such a no?
Cause most of the players are scared they will get destroyed by experienced players. And that fps will be less then 5 in LA.
Actually I’m not scared of that at all. I’m just thinking of the general player type that enjoys dueling, compared to the general player type who plays games that I like to play. It’s a thought process.
People who like to challenge people randomly, for no reason, just for lulz aren’t my demographic of game player. I’m not interested, particularly, in playing with those people. It’s not the game I play.
I think if people were dueling in the streets, the Lionguard would come and arrest them. It’s immersion breaking on that level.
The costume brawl, on the other hand, is obviously a celebration. A free for all. Something that doesn’t just feed someone’s ego.
So yeah, it’s not about not being able to. It’s about the kind of player that kind of thing attracts.
You are worried about people fighting in a game that want’s to turn it’s PvP into an eSport, but dueling for practice is right out? Maybe that’s how sPvP ended up so kittenty, the player’s giving Anet “advice”.
Like I said earlier, I don’t care about duels at all, but I still haven’t seen a good reason not to have them for those that want them.

Something I have noticed about TC this past weekend….Why do you guys not charge out of your towers/keeps when you have number and momentum advantage? I’m not trash talking at all, as TC as cleaned my clock more than a few times, but yesterday there were about 10-15 of us that had probably 25+ TC pushed back in DBBL in one of our towers. We waited patiently outside expecting to lose but you guys never pushed out, so we ran off
Super secret TC strats?! Probably! :P
I think it depends on the situation. But I have rarely been a part of a group that did not push out if it was the best decision at the time. If they were able to hold you off without having to push out, there is no reason to push out and take the chance something goes horribly wrong and they get wiped and give you a free tower.
Sounds like by not pushing out they kept the tower and you were run off.
Very true, I guess some people actually do care about points more than fun sometimes. Keep up the good fights everyone, work can’t end soon enough

Because it’s tricky. It only takes one smart mesmer to run in behind your back and all your siege is gone.
Well we didn’t have any siege up this time I was referring to, we just chased you guys from the sup camp back to the tower, thought you were just regrouping to push back and try to wipe us.
Like I said it’s not a big deal, just seems like that should of ended in a fight and I was disappointed when it didnt.

And you can forget capping anything that is defended by >30 people because the aoe concentration would be so intense anyone walking through would insta die. So you wont be able anymore to go through a gate.
Aoe cap should stay the way it is, it is fine.
That was kind of the point, so people can actually defend something even when outnumbered. You know, defense? That thing people used to do before they figured out karma trains?
Honestly I love zergvszerg, but the fights last too long, and if both teams stack it’s not only laggy but also boring. The AoE limit is a band aid fix for bad servers is the only reason it’s even in place.
RIP my fair Engi and Ranger, you will be missed.
I find it funny that so many people complain about a system that doesn’t exist. No one is saying that a duel system has to be based around invites. It could be exactly the same system as Costume Brawl. I.e. you set up a (free) “duel box”, and other players can then accept your duel by using the same box.
Which would duels still allow to happen in places where I don’t want them. Keep those anoying effects and sounds out of my field of view, allow them only in certain areas and you can have it, otherwise I am and will always be a no.
Yet people already have costume brawls everywhere, there’s always a box of fun in a city which creates a lot of sound and effects. There’s always people spamming their skills to show off the animations of their weapons, there’s always people using portals and portal guns and even more people using them.
The reasons you guys don’t want dueling are some of the most absurd ones I’ve ever heard.

Yes, so we get the space wasters out of WvW maps. Honestly I could care less about duels, but if it gets rid of the people dueling at WM I really don’t care what they do.

You are on FC, unless it is prime time, that is a lower population server. Transfer to higher pop or play during NA prime time to find more people

I think Shadowbane would of made a good TV show. I was going to say DAoC, but there are plenty of Arthurian legend tv shows out there.
