Guild Wars 2

high pop servers dont suffer from this is seems.

i’ve seen very good thieves all buffed up 1v5 people. Not even a joke, the rendering issue makes this even more possible. They are quite the handful when buffed and being played by someone competent.

bad thieves go down so easy but the good ones… they are scary and the rendering makes it worse.

Also all these people talking about owning thieves 1v1…you probably fight bad thieves, low level thieves or have 3 orbs. if youre fighting a really good thief who also has buffs, its easily the most difficult 1v1, especially with the rendering issue.

i have to agree with this, the emblem does not tell who the guild is that has claimed the keep, dropped guild buffs and upgraded it, id like to be able to know who the generous guilds are and also get some rep for my guild as well.

We’ve also been playing with outmanned buff for a bit here on Sbi, JQ just has a lot of players it seems. Still, on the third day in and were at less than a 1000 point differential between the three servers.

Destroyer I honestly don’t expect the bandwaggons to last the whole week on blackgate, so youll probably have some competition in t2 next week…i personally couldnt stay for another week on top of two weeks of spawn camping naked.

Score update.

Also…for some reason can’t edit my above post.

glad everyone on Sbi left the ioj borderlands to go to JQ borderlands and capture nothing while we lose everything in ioJ borderlands… sigh.

Three of us have lived inside our comfy tower for so long…12 arrow carts, 2 ballistas, 2 trebs, 4 catapults, oil, cannon, mortar, fortified, reinforced. She’s my baby and I don’t want to ever let her go.

Anyways…

Sbi – 39,777
loJ – 39, 079
JQ – 39, 313

Still only 700 points seperates these superpowers.

JQ/Sbl/loj is the closest match in WvW history thus far.

personally I like the mesmer tactic, it’s interesting and spices things up a little.

i’m all for more strategy being added, i want to see another 20 blueprints that allow for all sorts of tactics!

Can this get any closer?

Right now, isle of janthir v stormbluff isle v jade quarry is probably the most even matchup i’ve ever seen. Still only less than 1000 points seperates 1st and 3rd.

Closest WvW matchup so far to date? Less than 1000 points differentiates between 1st or 3rd.

Also Blackgate is currently setting the record for the biggest stomping…server transfers, yippie!

Chrysalis speaks the truth, nobody can deny free transfers with henge of denravi as a spitting image.

Went from the unbeatable server to the +0 server. Losing the entire map in 15 minutes against blackgate, a tier 2 server.

Lol Kefro, too bad bandwaggons do go to tier 2, as tons of hod players went to blackgate, wonder how they went from the best server to being stomped on beyond reason by your server?

This is why we shouldn’t let oceanic players play gw2 on NA servers, not only have they created night capping. but they are also the biggest bandwagons causing volatile upset in WvW balance.

This is how WvW should always be.

Liking the look of the pie this week.

Way better than + 655/+ 10/+ 5

Ah my bad, i just noticed a thread has already been made. The abbreviated title eluded me.

Feel free to lock this thread.

Thanks you for acknowledging us, much appreciated information.

Figured i would get this thread started.

The pie looks a lot nicer this week than last week…

Stormbluff isle…every night we come on to 99% of the map taken and 3x orb buff for Jade Quarry, and every night we manage to take a 50/50split(sometimes more) of the map for a few hours before being overrun due to lack of numbers. Even with the impossible to get glitched orb that is always in Jade Quarrys hands no matter who owns the keep it is in.

We’re outnumbered and out-buffed but we still try to cling on against Jade henge of denravi’s Quarry.

The orb in the henge of denravi borderlands has belonged to Jade Quarry for the entire week no matter who controlled the keep it was in…because it wouldn’t appear.

i am assuming this is the same sort of situation and it is apparently brought on by a known glitch?

@spoonfoy – Elementalist mist form heals you but while in mist form you can’t heal yourself and continue to bleed out, all the while the thief could just hit “4” while you’re in mist form and get themselves up before you.

Except that’s what the gems are for, people spend more money on gems than a subscription fee, i can bet money on that one.

They don’t need to milk us for things like a private server.

Downed state makes pvp much less enjoyable for me.

This is probably the only game where a 1v2 is virtually impossible, the game makes it very hard to display skill.

Say you’re in a 1v2, you down one, then he is constantly hitting you for 1-1.5k while “dead” making it nearly impossible for you to kill the other person and if you try to finish him the other person will kill you. So it’s basically inevitable that you will die. once you die the downed person is rezzed by his teammate and all your efforts prove worthless.

This is a very discouraging thing to have, something many guildies seem to agree on is that downed state damage should be reduced to the point that’s it’s almost nothing, getting hit for 1.5k a second by a thief while he’s downed is absolutely ridiculous, i know people who are bunker/defensive builds that can’t do that much damage while alive.

So i’m all for it being removed entirely or the damage being drastically reduced while downed. however i do agree with Aga…

1st – Very Low damage attack just to tag something for a chance to rally.

2nd – AoE interrupt

3rd – Suicide button.

4th – Leave it the way it is.

Should be like that for every class, so there is no need to worry about balancing and downed state no longer makes this entire game rely around outnumbering your opponents both in WvW and Spvp. Downed state takes away from player skill.

Nobody in WvW likes it, and being a glass cannon elementalist I HATE it the most.

A thief when downed can basically kill me with 1.5k a shot while teleporting and disappearing, also my downed state sucks.

Not to mention it prevents good players from being good, you’re in a 1v2 and you drop 1 and he’s still hitting you and if you try to finish him his teammate will kill you and if you go for his teammate he will keep eating away at your health or better yet his teammate will cc you and rez his partner in like 2 seconds or the absolute worst the downed player will rally off a mob!

It’s poor design, not only in small scale battles but large battles as well, it makes thinning out a zerg basically impossible unless you absolutely annihilate them, because they just pile on anyone whos downed and rez them.

At least if they keep downed state they should make it when someone is finished, they are FINISHED.

Not, oh we had a hard fought battle, we managed to kill about 10 fully and then had to retreat, while you retreat to compose yourselves they resurrect the 10 people you finished off making your entire battle pointless as they have the same amount of people they started with.

Everything in WvW is catered towards who has more players, not only because you have more players but because you have those orbs which always are on the server with the most players side, making it even harder to fight anyone and because of downed state resurrecting any of the people you managed to kill once you are driven off allowing the enemy to continue their full strength assault with NO CASUALTIES.

Stormbluff has pride in it’s server, that’s why most of us stayed and we still try our very best to give Jade henge of denravi’s quarry our best but it’s just not possible to fight against 3x orb buff, double the players and all the waypoints for 90% of the day.

Tweaks need to be made in WvW to stop this from happening, obviously orbs shouldn’t exist at this point because all they do is overpower the already winning team and server transfers need to end soon.

Not to mention half the time the orbs are bugged and JQ keeps it even after we take the keep.

it’s not fun for either side, you have long Queues to afk in a map you control 99% of, or you have no queues to get stomped by 100 buffed, waypointing, bored players looking to fight anywhere there may possibly be one.

it sucks and it’s almost entirely because of free transfers and the 3x orb buff.

Remove the orbs as well, it makes coming back impossible, not only are you outmaned, not only are you out maneuvered(they have every waypoint), you are also out buffed.

There’s literally no chance.

Yeah, the clipping really gets to you after a while, I just keep trying to find a set of gear or weapons without clipping and can’t do it.

All my thiefs weapons look like this…

http://i.imgur.com/rwKE9.jpg

Large portion of the weapon is always missing inside my characters legs.

The sad part about this one for me Caedmon is that I don’t even have the option of switching weapons, every single one-handed weapon, of every type, clips into my characters thighs, sometimes a large portion of the weapon is missing, the only thing I can do to stop it is put on a robe instead of pants, which makes me sad.

Race: Human
Sex: Female
Class: Thief
Weapon: EVERY single side mounted weapon.
Leg/chest armor: Leather PvP Armor(free tournament version).

The clipping on my character is some of the worst I can recall in any game, it is on every one-handed weapon I can wield.

Every single weapon that is side mounted clips into my characters body, whether it be guns, daggers, sceptres, maces, swords, etc.

Here’s an example with the weapons I am currently wearing:

http://i.imgur.com/lgQxG.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/rwKE9.jpg

I actually have to un-equip my weapons when i’m just standing around talking or going afk because it is that displeasing.

Personally I believe this is one of those big ones you were talking about because it’s literally every single side mounted weapon in the game when equipped appears to be shoved into my characters thigh, some of the smaller daggers more than half the weapon is missing.

TL:DR summary: Every single side mounted weapon is lodged in my characters thighs, on both main and off hand.

That thread is perfect, I shall take some screenshots to get this fixed.

Can we please get a fix to clipping that is just way over the top, for example on my human thief EVERY single one handed weapon is lodged inside her thigh, sometimes as much as half the weapon is missing within my character.

Clipping is one of the most displeasing things to me, not sure how others feel about it.

I would love a cape that can display your guild emblem.

I made a thief randomly and maxed out power/crit rate/crit damage and then use haste(4seconds of 50% attack speed) and you can destroy someone before they know what hit them(unless it’s a guardian).

@Tradewind – I could, but it’s extra effort I don’t need to put into something that could be made so much simpler, also he/she could be afk or not care to respond.

I also just like inspecting people in general to check statistics like gear stats, gear names, player stats like power, crit rate, etc. I’m not going to ask someone “hey, what’s your crit rate?”

Shukran – It doesn’t matter if we have 20 moves, when heartseeker hits us for 5-6k there’s nothing we can do.

@Anzenketh – Almost anything can be abused, it’s people like you that confuse me, we shouldn’t be removing GOOD features that have been in MMOs for a decade because we’re getting scared of the little things that you mention.

Also on a side note, the mailing system coupled with the lack of P2P trading causes and encourages a lot more scamming than P2P trading does, that’s for sure. Especially without a COD feature.

Following abused for botting? Dude bots don’t need a follow option, TERA had a few rare bots that could port from mob to mob and fight them, and it’s not a tab target game, all attacks are manually aimed. Bots are advanced now and don’t need a following option.

Dueling could be a problem because of duel spam? When you request a duel with someone make it a 30 second timer before you can again, or have a checkbox that allows you to turn off incoming duels, you can only challenge people to duels.

From my understanding there’s no actual friend login notification or guild one for that matter, not on it’s own at least.

Valkyrie.2678:

There will probably never be a 1v1 dueling. Even if it will, balance will be its own so players won’t have the chance to feed their ego by dueling with their primary PvE or PvP characters. Answer to question why is, when it comes to 1v1 it is never possible to end the crying on forums, websites etc.

You’re never going to end the crying of not having it either, I see posts asking for dueling regularly, since the first BETA people have wondered and asked if there would be dueling.

If you don’t like 1v1s, don’t duel but for the thousands of people who love dueling, it would definitely be a huge boost to their enjoyment in the game, in TERA I spent a large portion of my time dueling, most people in my guild would meet up and duel on a daily basis. Also TERA had some of the worst 1v1 balancing ever, yet people would duel constantly, even the bad classes would duel, just because it’s fun, win or lose.

I can run faster than a centaur is the most memorable one and guildies like to rage about it on occasion. I hear it 20 times a day probably.

GW2 has many outstanding features, but why does it miss so many basic ones?

I am suggesting five(added another) really basic things in almost every MMO be added to GW2.

1) – Inspecting(person has a nice looking piece of gear, too bad I can’t figure out what it’s called).

2) – Following (It’s just a standard)

3) – Dueling (No way to practice PvP or just casually have fun with friends).

4) – Friend login notification. (I have no way of knowing when a friend logs in unless I check my friends list regularly or they PM me when they log on).

5) – Player trading in person. (Mailing them and then having them mail you stuff in return is just tedious, actually mailing in the first place is tedious).

Obviously there’s also a bigger feature I wouldn’t mind seeing, which would be mounts, but I don’t mind if they don’t add them, it was just always a cosmetic thing I enjoyed. Ground mounts only, we don’t need flying.

Just bumping this back up for Anet to see.

The skill point south of Brigantine Isle in Grendarran Fields has been bugged for two days now, the pirate who is supposed to be there is not there.

I’ve seen as many as 3-4 people just standing there waiting for it or trying to figure out what’s wrong, personally It’s the last thing I need to complete that zone.

Meh I may be coming off like a jerk in the OP, but i’m just frustrated because we have been trying to duel for hours and it’s so difficult, even telling people in /m to leave us alone they don’t care, just keep attacking us.

I don’t remember the last MMO I played without a duel option.

Nobody in my guild can take, nobody understands it, nobody can believe it.

Why is there no dueling in an MMORPG, especially one focused on becoming an e-sport, there’s literally no way to practice with friends.

We try to join empty BG rooms at 5am to 1v1, and people just show up, when were trying to practice or test.

It’s the stupidest thing i’ve ever seen and it frustrates everyone I know who wants to practice PvP.

Can we make locked private matches or something? Anything, there’s NO WAY to practice against friends.

Suddenly it is all working fine and dandy…well never mind then.

It’s not just the upgrades, I literally can’t do anything it says I can, I can’t even change the message of the day but I have all the powers as officer.
