Why do CMDR's not Portal Bomb

in WvW

Posted by: Aphix.9846

Aphix.9846

Portaling into the keep past 56 arrow carts on to the walls for example is useful, portaling next to or inside a zerg is the dumbest idea ever. Had a match-up 2 weeks ago with lower tier server and they kept portal bombing and every single time they did it was free 20 loot bags, if they keep this up they’ll only drop tiers :p

the only conclusion is, when we have as much players, you lose.

First fair fight when you had scouts everywhere up north and then ambushed us as we were looking for you ?
What about the other 5 fights when u were hugging your garrisson with siege ?

Fights were good and fun, I don’t get why you need to talk kitten.

So many FG loot bags :O Hopefully we got the AoE looting. All my bags are full of your items :/ That’s disappointing that u die so fast :O. Hope u ll have some money to repair.

You were next to your garrisson, trebs, ac’s, using portal to go in and out of keep, yet we wiped the floor with you 5 times.

Good fights.

Why be that coocky anyway ? Especially when it all went wrong for you…you must feel silly now

Because ~20 FG + 10 friendlies = 60, while you had 2 organized guilds coming at us + pugs.

Survey: Want Ascended Armors & Weapons?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Aphix.9846

Aphix.9846

I think all ascended items should be available through WvW, just like in PvP, you get whatever skin you want and dont need to do any carebear pve stuff.
1k badges and 200k karma for one ascended e.g. accessory, why not, better than nothing. Atm badges and karma are borderline useless.

About ascended armor – I would say yes if they add a reasonable way to acquire them, NOT LAURELS. The currency is incredibly dumb. Takes 1 month for me to get 1 earring atm. There is no chance to work harder for something and be rewarded for your time, if I am willing to farm/grind for something then I should be allowed to do so, needless to say laurels can not be farmed. I actually never farm/grind, but still, even if I would I know that I will not be rewarded properly.
Also laurels make it next to impossible to gear alts/make new builds. With all the class balance updates many people are going to switch their builds. For example I am going from a condi build to power build which means a whole new set of trinkets…
They should add a way to change the stats of ascended items, through gems or buy some sort of MF ingredient with 5-10 laurels along with a few T6 mats to decide what new stats you want for your ascended and boom, sorted. Always a better option then doing dailies for another 3 months, then to find out Anet are gonna nerf your build and you need a new set for your alt :P.
A bit off-topic there sorry.

3000 Played, No random precursor drop

in Crafting

Posted by: Aphix.9846

Aphix.9846

hours played doesn’t mean much.

What means a lot more is what you did for those 3000 hours.

3000 hours farming shelt/pen? Yeah you’re unlucky
3000 hours playing wvw? You aren’t gonna get a precursor that way
3000 hours playing dungeons? Same as above.

Do you realize how much loot you get in wvw or … ? I have done my fair share of cursed shore farming, its better, but its braindead boring. Seems like you are really underestimating wvw for loot. The amount of times I empty my 140 slot inventory during one raid night is quite sick tbh, and obviously I dont run MF…

I really think more casual players, who log in like 1 or 2 times a week have some sort of hidden MF boost lol -.-
Guy in my guild logged in after a while and never even knew what dragonbash was, 1st dragon coffer he opened he got a jade ticket. While there are people in my guild with 4-5k coffers opened and 0 tickets. I have noticed the same with precursors :p the most casual players get a dusk from 1 ooze kill or drop 3 rare warhorns and a spear in MF and get a Dawn. Coincidence I know, but still annoying.

The irony in the criticism against RNG...

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Aphix.9846

Aphix.9846

RNG is needed but annoying imo.
As people said time usefully spent should be rewarded.
I dont really get rewarded for my time played tbh, the amount of money I can make properly playing the game (wvw, living story, occasional dungeons) is nothing compared to some guy nolifing cof1 or even worse, killing an ooze in cursed shore and dropping a dusk. So some guy who plays 2h a week and spent 1h of that roleplaying in LA just got 500g from a drop while I have “worked” for 500g for the last 2-3 months. Simply unfair as I see it.
Also people sitting next to the TP flipping stuff can make 10x more cash then someone actually playing the game.
For the amount of time I have spent on this game I have not been rewarded properly, everything I own has come from selling absolute junk to the TP/vendor.
There is definitely room for improvement, but not much can be changed, RNG has to stay. Biggest problem in my eyes are the precursors, loads of gold rewarded for dumb luck while farming/wvw etc gives you basically nothing. As soon as the scavenger hunt is introduced it will be much more fair imo. Im not really bothered about some coffers and tickets and stuff like that.
Anet should really add rewards for achievements like they did with the dragon wings and sclerite karka shell etc. Maybe add some rewards for e.g. dungeon master achievement, wvw 250k kills etc, thats a nice and simple way to at least somehow reward people for their time.

Is KISS transfering to Piken? Or is it just a couple guys

Also, you talk about solo people running away, but what ive seen from PS is guild grps running and only fighting back when another guild backs them up and start outnumbering 2:1…
Rly boring way of fighting

I seriously doubt a Piken guild would run from a fight, even when heavily outnumbered, I think you are chatting kitten to be fair.

WIC been running away all day untill they could come back with FG
Same with TNTD yesterday, after one wipe(with around equal numbers) they kept coming back holding hands with HoD

No, only Servers making more points than PS are blobbing. They dont. Never ever.
PS 303k, other 2 Servers both around 130k – “fun fights this week”…
You PS Elite Guilds should consider transfering to Blacktide or FoW, then youll be able to dominate Vaabi and have many weeks with “fun fights”.

What are you even talking about ? Every server blobs sometimes. So you got a bad match-up, boo hoo. What do you want us to do ? Tell people to kitten off for a week so you guys have chance ?
We got more active wvw-ers, more guilds, better coverage etc. Get over it.

Moan moan moan.

It’s pathetic how someone can become INSTANTLY rich by doing nothing, where as people, like me, who have horrible luck, have to work incredibly hard to obtain such currency.

Exactly what I have been saying since launch pretty much.
I got about 2.3k hours on the game, I have a legendary, t3 sets and other high valued weapon skins crafted in the forge etc. I have played the game and worked hard for them, probably 90% of the money to buy/craft them came from selling junk to the vendors and tp, never actually found anything of value.

Then some random guy finds a Dusk in wvw and a Dawn fooling around in MF the next day to instantly get 10x richer than me with 0 work done. Its just frustrating, Im never rewarded for anything, but some half-arsed guy who doesnt even care get something they simply dont deserve tbh by dumb luck.

Just yesterday I found the holographic wings, which I sold for 10g. Until yesterday I had NEVER found anything worth more than 5g. I was proper shocked and thought I was dreaming or something. 10g drop, crazy.

I love how Anet shut down WvW etc to change this bug and…didn’t even kittening work.

Really ? Now as the unluckiest mmorpg player in the world (I’m serious, 7 years of experience proves it :p), and since I’m really impatient, I need to finish the Moa racing achievement (20 bets 0 wins so far) to get the wings.
Anet is really incompetent when it comes to these changes tho.

Actually, the GW2 economy has slowly declined in quality since about a month ago, people are getting bored and quitting left and right, and the rewards are still the same crap they have been. Anet brought in too much RNG and people got angry, and left. I’m lucky to see one person within 5 hours of playing, unless I go to LA, and then I see 10 people. So, simply, no. There are no changes that would bring anyone back to this game. WvW is also still boring, and Gw2 is just digging itself a grave with more pointless temporary content.

You see 10 people in LA, you mean 5 am in Vabbi ?

Ignore this guy.

And WvW is better than ever.

The new matchup system isn’t working at all.

The new match-up system needs time to stabilize if you know what I mean, they wont do anything just 2 or 3 weeks after the release of this system. Devs also said that they are working on making this a bit less random, it will still have RNG in it, but to a lesser extent. A server will get matched with servers more closer to their rating than how it is now. So a rank 2 server wont be matched with rank 11, but with a server much closer to their rating.
But yeah, the new system may be horrible for some lower tier servers and boring for high tiers for now in some match-ups, but it will definitely only get better with time.

My WvW Build

in Necromancer

Posted by: Aphix.9846

Aphix.9846

I dont get why spend points on soul reaping on a condi build ? I mean the traits hardly benefit you. Crit damage in a condi build ? Life force pool ?

The same argument could be made about the Blood Magic line, especially if you use it to trait for hp siphoning.

Not really imo…

Blood magic – vitality, extra healing, some decent traits such as mark on dodge, 20% cdr on wells etc and the siphoning can really add up to big numbers in wvw fights
while soul reaping got a bunch of DS specific traits and crit damage which I find useless in a condi build..
oh well whatever you prefer tho

Get a Tier 3 sylvari cultural, dye it white and get bifrost, how I roll.

But if you want the classic necro (boring :P) look, you can get some CoF, TA, Arah and even CoE pieces mixed, go to the dungeon vendors in LA and try to mix them a bit. I used to run something similar near release. For weapons I would say Deathwish and Final Rest and maybe Modniirs Quarterstaff (the low level karma weapon) and other weapons – Eye of Rodgort (scepter), Malefacterym (dagger) and others I cant remember for now.

For stats go with knights/berserker/cavalier mix for power and Rabid for condi.

I dont get why spend points on soul reaping on a condi build ? I mean the traits hardly benefit you. Crit damage in a condi build ? Life force pool ? When your running a build like that you hardly use DS for more than 3 seconds, most likely just to tank some damage and go back to staff rotation/epidemic.

This is what I sometimes run with, depending who I am facing tho.

http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/necromancer/?5.0|6.1b.h5|b.1b.h16.8.1b.h1j|1b.716.1b.716.1b.716.1b.716.1b.7i.1b.7i|2x.0.2x.0.2w.0.2w.0.2x.0.2w.0|0.u347.k25.k25.0|30.d|3r.3w.3x.49.4f|e

Blood magic traits can be changed on preference..
Got decent amount of condi duration, corruption traits and if you wanna be more useful to your allies/guild or however you run in WvW then theres spectral wall for you, awesome skill if placed right and leap finisher = chaos armor to get those melees a nice edge in fights along with the protection. I dont run with any stun breaker because i simply dont need it, if I get CCd I pop DS and just back off, but really as you are ranged you shouldnt have a problem. Positioning is very important :/
Sometimes I switch spectral wall for well of corruption, meaning I also switch to targetable wells and maybe even 20% cdr on wells etc, like I said depends on the situation.
That build is for overwhelming the enemy with conditions, dont try and build some sort of burst into this.

Get to EB and you’ll see for yourself what those ppl at South SM are doing, they come at our keep with 1 or 2, I attack them, all they can do is run away when I chase..

None of FSP on EB is doing this

Seems like they are trolling you and it is working.

Yes, since they’re so bad alone :>

Haven’t been to EB yet, but I’d run away from a 1v1 most likely, why ? because with my build I’d pretty much get owned by a competent player. I run with a build that focuses on group play and AoE etc. It’s just common sense, neither can I be bothered with a boring 1v1 when I’m in WvW for obviously the large scale fights. If you want small scale go sPvP and quit the moaning. I also find it funny how you’re surprised that you get jumped and outnumbered fights in wvw, especially EB…

Anyway, nice night in DL BL. You guys sure are suicidal tho…I got like 400 kills during in just ~30 minutes at the fights near cragtop (?) and garrison. Good stuff.

Funny Fact: PS complained (and still is complaining a lot) about larger Forces in WvW, calling them “Blobs” and wanted them to play in smaller Numbers since “Blobbing” is boring.
But if PS does it, then its okay.

Are you talking about the fights in DL BL ? If not I fail to understand how this comment is relevant…at all.

Warhorn benefits the group better imo, vigor and swiftness for you and your allies, condi removal is awesome anyway and the #4 removes cripple/immob/chill.
Shield on the other hand offers nothing but 3 sec of block which is not really needed if you position yourself right and engage at the right times.

Thanks for all the fights in GH BL on sunday, I havent seen camps flipping that often before. What was Piken up to in Garri inner, why didnt you just kill the lord, too eager to farm? We eventually managed to push you out but I died twice and could wp back

We killed the lord about 5 times it just got ressed constantly, but didn’t manage to keep you out of the cap zone, we weren’t fast enough to clear the lord room and you guys kept WP’ing back. Riverside being annoying again decided to attack Hills at the same time so all our reinforcements and anyone who died went straight to Hills.

Good stuff tho.

they do not blobbing… is only a spontaneous meeting of 20 roaming squads

Actually there was like 30 ppl. Want me to show you, your choo choo train when you came out from inner?

poor RS

Did you even bother to look at the screenshot? There’s already 15 PS from right side of pic to the dead RS player marker. It’s more like 60-70.

wtf

i was there, so dont try to make your own vision. right behind this guy on walls was like 120 angry german kids.

anyway np. INC starting monday, so germans will hide in cave like always before.

You said PS was 30. I said there’s 15 already on right side of the dead RS on the screenshot while there’s still a “sea” of red (PS) on left of it making it more like 60-70 PS then the 30 PS you claimed.
I don’t see why you bring up how many RS had? Or you trying to justify your blobing with theirs?

As said before we had 1 commander on the map and 1 last objective on the map ? What do you expect ? And IMO they outnumbered us + the 569 arrow carts and ballistas on the walls.

Oh nvm this is not your match-up…

Anyway I enjoyed my stay in hills :p

Precursors from Rank Chests

I’ve got 4 greens so far.

A bit off-topic: I’m rank 161 on my necro yet I don’t plan to play on it anymore, maybe just a few ranks, since I leveld a new char for WvW. Am I really forced to play another 160 ranks on my necro just to get my ‘missed’ chests ??
Or did Anet actually think of this and made it so no matter what character I play I still get 2 chests for 160+ ranks.
Hopefully it’s the latter, I can’t comprehend the stupidity if they didn’t make the rank backlog acc bound.

Anyone know how this works ?

Let me spin it in a different light for you. If a new player gains 160 ranks, they will get 160 chests. If you now gain 160 ranks, you will get 320 chests. You have an opportunity to get 160 chests that someone without those pre-existing ranks will never have.

I have just recently gotten more involved in WvW, so I’m only rank 19. My future efforts in WvW will be on a similar level to your future efforts in WvW, however you will be benefiting twice as much since you got into it well before I did.

By the way, I’m trying to make you feel better, not trying to argue with you.

Yeah, but that’s not my problem, I’m talking about NOT playing on my rank 160 necro anymore, but starting a fresh new char. As far as I’ve heard, I will never get those 160 chests unless I force myself to play on my necro again. Since currently the World Ranks are character bound (which is bad as well imo).
I am not bothered about having to earn another 160 ranks for the chests because I surely will, but just on another character.

Well that is sadly a choice you have made, not ANet. If you were to carry on playing on your Necro then you’d get 320 chests over the course of your next 160 ranks. ANet have handled this one well imo, as they could have chose not to reward retrospectively at all.

It’s not handled well at all. What they’re doing is making it even harder to start an new character (nearly everything in this game is soulbound). I would have been happy if we get no chests for the ranks earned before the patch tbh. Now they’re forcing me to play my necro for another 2 months if I want my hard-earned chests. Yeah well done indeed.
Could have just mailed me 160 chests, would have kittened up the economy, but I dont really care about it. Second choice is to make the world ranks account wide anyway, or at least the chest rewards account wide, meaning my rank 1 warrior would get 2 chests for the next 160 ranks.

Yeah, well handled.

Anyway, opened 8 chests so far, 8 greens.

A bit off-topic now, hopefully someone can help me. Is there a soft cap for armor/toughness ? I mean with my necro I got 2.8k armor which is pretty much needed in organized guild WvW and large scale battles, but with my warrior I got 3.5k armor (mainly knights/cavalier gear). And I heard someone say that after 2.8k armor toughness is pointless/wasted stat ? That true or was he chatting kitten ? Should I turn some of that toughness into some offensive stats ?

So how will I get my chests, my main’s rank 155 and now I’ve decided to level up another char for wvw. Will I get 2 chests per rank on my new warrior ? Or the only way to get my chests is to play my main untill rank 300+…

hmm

That would still be incorrect, because the most efficient way to get wexp is to PvD, not PvP.

Killing is more efficient, camps/doors are just a little bonus.
I’ve got a full rank in ~20 mins after killing both servers zergs and getting 60 wxp from each of them. And a bit later I did it again.
Oh well I don’t really care about the rank since the titles are absolutely dumb past Legend anyway, but I go where the action is, meaning lots of lootbags. hehe.

On piken myself, playing vs awesome guilds such as RG and VoTF and see very high ranks all the time, especially on RG’s line-up, quite a few legends and bronze invaders (lol).

I’ve seen some people with 150-200k kills tho.

This is me

None of them. Because none of them have a story.

Per Merriam-Webster:
Legendary: “of, relating to, or characteristic of legend or a legend”
Legend: “a story coming down from the past; especially : one popularly regarded as historical although not verifiable”

oh dear…these comments make me cry.
Legendary is just a name. Guess what ! A rare item isn’t actually rare either…
Oh and dragons don’t exist either man, they’re a lie just like the legendaries.

Jugger, greatswords, shield, staff imo

I managed to get 3 precursors in 24 hours

I got my main necro with around 2k gold worth of items (a legendary, t3 set, forged items etc). The highest valued item I have EVER found was about 5g and that was like 4-5 times in 1.6k hours of playing time. All the money I’ve got is from completing events/selling junk mostly I believe.
Then people go ahead and get 1k+ gold in 24 hours lol, I also remember people getting 2 precursors in the karka event, people who had played the game for 3 hours.
Game’s broken and dumb in this case, I am not rewarded for my efforts at all while some people are rewarded for dumb luck and slacking in LA 24/7 and dumping 4 rares into the forge. (not talking to OP, just in general, gz btw).
I literally must have dropped about 9 million lootbags in wvw during the past month, every time I leave one behind I’m thinking – ‘based on my luck that was defo Dusk.’

Oh well aye…I swear if I ever find a proper precursor I will kitten myself.
Same with every other mmorpg I’ve played. As unlucky as you could ever get.
Once in Aion I rolled for some items, and I managed to roll the number ‘1’ (out of 100) 6 times out of ~25 tries. That’s when I knew I was kittened for life.

Cool story init.

90% of the time I run with an organized wvw guild, I got condi build and run well of corruption, epidemic then either well of suffering/spectral wall/well of darkness.
It’s not all about damage, even tho I still deal loads if I do it right.
All you wanna do is drop your wells whereever the enemy is stacking, if they’re an unorganized zerg then they will be wiped within seconds anyway, but if it’s a guild then you look for the opportunity to drop your wells on them whenever they’re grouped up and out of position or stacking for heals/might. Well of corruption will already do alot of work and then you land ur staff rotation as well and if you’re lucky you might get a good epidemic also.
What you wanna do is overwhelm your enemies with conditions and obviously run plague in your build (with the chilling darkness trait ), when you pop plague you follow the enemies around keeping 5 targets around you chilled/blinded/poisoned/bleeding. Now you’d want your allies to drop aoe on your spot and down/finish them.
In wvw you always see slackers falling a bit behind, you wanna use scepter 2 and staff 3/5 on them and separate them (along guardian line of warding etc). Necros are extremely effective.
We usually have 3-4 necros popping plagues at the same time, I can only imagine how annoying that can be.

Also staff/wells are amazing for pressuring a certain point like keep walls or holding the stairs at the lords room in towers. Crazy damage, and when your not moving around and kiting or whatever, it’s way easier to land your epidemic, and those numbers are just amazing to see. (same with casting epidmic on enemy golems/keep lords when there’s enemies with them, usually 5 people get downed instantly)

Power is craaaaaaap in wvw, leave that to other professions.

Seems like a rank downgrade

When I 1st heard of this I thought the ‘bronze’ would actually be the colour of the rank or something lol…but yeah, going from legend to bronze invader is incredibly dumb, it’s just silly. Needs to be changed. If it’d be possible I would choose to stop advancing past rank 149.

How is it, that games get this broken?
