Guild Wars 2

Probably the left over of the photo they traced over as evidence leads to suggest.

Been distracted with southsun among other things. Try to get in wvw when I can. Been seeing some strong resistance on all sides depending on the time of day except oceanic time when SoS rolls every one over.

But as for this thread…

SBI needs people. They’re desperate. SoS has been stomping them hard for weeks.

Invictus.1503:

Not even wearing the tentacles (I have, but like my Halloween back piece better).

We have a match!

I want a playable dragon.

Hi guys. What’s going on here?

I don’t think so. AOE is AOE.

Is there really a need for score updates any more now that we have this gem?

http://mos.millenium.org/na/matchups/map/697

Makes posting score updates pointless. Though now these threads will be dead if there isn’t some interesting banter going on in them now.

SonOfKrypton.4357:

The Obsidian Sanctum has always encouraged griefers…

I think that was the point when it was designed around log, spike, fire, arrow, boulder, and animal traps. If it wasn’t designed to ‘trap’ people and kill them, why are those traps there?

Additionally, it isn’t difficult to click the ‘Eternal Battlegrounds’ dropdown and go back to EB and ask for help.

Check out this little gem

That ‘prison’ actually saved my life once. If you go down state in it. If the gate closes. Even if they’re about to spike you. They get teleported out and leaves you in there as down state. Leaving you to freely revive yourself and way point out if needed.

Actually works in the favour of the victims.

I assume that is what happened in the picture and he is instead laughing at you.

Whoa whoa whoa. When did these threads start getting interesting and juicy again?

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/account/Is-account-sharing-bannable

“The account is bound by a User Agreement that each of us accepts before playing. Saying you can do anything you desire with you account is far, far from true. You cannot bot. You cannot sell gold. You cannot harass other players. You cannot resell the account. And, yes, you cannot share accounts (except in extremely limited circumstances outlined in the UA.)

I know what you’re saying, Michael, but really, all accounts are bound by the User Agreement, not to mention the Rules of Conduct, the Content Terms of Use, the Naming Policy… "

Bolded for emphasis. I think parent-child qualifies.

On topic though. I don’t think it has account sharing in mind. It’s just a bad way to make us grind more or abandon alts all together.

Reloading.3260:

So that if you want to infuse both with the same stat you have to grind more for a versatile infusion. What was the versatile precision rec? 250 passion flowers? Now that was a grind before SSC event.

Anet loves grind. Keeps people busy.

For lack of a better answer. I’m going with this one.

Still a mystery why Anet made them unique. None of the reasons given by players so far in this thread are valid or justified.

You’re not an inferior class. They’re just looking for a specific group composition with specific classes to do a specific type of run.

Just respect their wishes, move on and make you’re own group or join some one looking for some thing similar you’re looking for.

I have 7 80s. I have a character parked at every boss. No wasted WP costs.

I laughed when I saw this.

Jski.6180:

Story armor for your person it should be the rare thing that only you have and there is only one in all the lands. Mind you this falls some what apart with other ppl but it still gives a good story to the items you have. Also to keep ppl from getting a bit too far maxing out infusion by going all in def or all in attk.

The later introduction of omni infusions makes this invalid.

What purpose does it serve?

Does the extra 5 stat of the same infusion stat really make a difference that it requires two different infusion slots instead of the same?

Your guild does not exist on guested servers. So I assume not?

Arpheus.6918:

For my roaming ranger I use cleric armor with “all-stats”-ascended jewelry. Backpiece is berserk usually.
GS is either cleric or PVT. My shortbow has Knight stats.
It’s working really well also for 1v1

What about pets you use? Traits?

Hi every one. I can’t seem to find a good build and stats for a ranger.

The latest I’ve tried is condition trapping ranger and it’s just not doing it for me even though its the only decent AOE rangers have.

Any one have any advice for the most optimal builds for WVW roaming and open world PVE?

If thieves become the most optimal for CoF P1. I’m all for it. My thief is my main. But I still play warrior when doing these runs. Both are fun.

Moar jumping puzzles!

Not being able to jump or walk down a slightly steep incline in Guild Wars 1 drove me crazy.

Although the word unique implies you can only have one.

What I don’t get. What is the purpose? Why make it unique?

20-29

/15chars

Let me just say I don’t usually care what spec you are or what gear you have as long as the dungeon goes smoothly. Though I make an exception for magic find gear leechers if I ever find out.

My main is a thief. Yet I decided to try the infamous CoF p1 speed runs on my berserker warrior. I was absolutely noob and didn’t know what to do on a speed run even though I had done the path before. But the dungeon went reasonably smoothly and opened my eyes how fast/profitable it actually was with this party combination.

Now I don’t mind if people are looking for specific classes and gear combinations. What I mind is the people disregarding the wishes of other people looking for a certain type of run.

I don’t ask for pinging when I set up a warrior + mesmer berserker farm group. I just expect people to comply to what I advertise on the lfg site. Though when the group doesn’t go smoothly and party is nearly all in down state before the boss is down due to slow dps. I start asking for pings as some thing is a miss.

If some one makes a mistake. That’s fine. It happens. As long as you know what to do or know for the next run through instead of being stubborn and refuse to assist the group effectively.

How ever. When some one links me their full rare set of magic find and knowingly trying to deceive the group looking for a specific type of run. That’s an instant no questions asked auto kick on the spot from me. No matter how far in the dungeon we are. Any other type of gear I would simply finish the run and then politely ask the person to leave as their gear set is not what the group is looking for.

People who get upset that their class is excluded and try to join with a non-warrior/mesmer are easily weeded out at the start. But even that rarely happens as you can easily create a party with any class combination you want. Or if you want to go on warrior/mesmer speed runs. They can simply make a warrior or mesmer and join in like I did.

How ever when people go in with the incorrect gear and knowingly tries to leech off the group whilst noticeably hampering the groups performance on the run. Especially when you insult the group leader in whispers after you’re kicked for some thing you’ve done and stalling the group as they look for a suitable replacement. That’s just plain rude.

As long as you have the correct class, the correct gear, do your best to make the run go smoothly as possible. We have a fun, friendly time whilst making mega gold profit. If that is some thing you don’t want. That’s fine. Simply join others looking for same thing you want as well.

If opposing what people perceive as ‘elitism’ means being selfish and rude in the process. I rather be considered an elitist.

TL;DR: Don’t bring your full rare set of magic find into a group that’s looking for a berserker geared speed run. Thanks.

Just thought I’d add some extra content to the thread.

A pretty typical SBI vs CD battle.
http://www.twitch.tv/ailesdelumiere/c/2286241

You can see more of this on my stream!

not really impressive, it’s just cherry picked footage that’s labeled with a false title (sorry, that’s not a 1v3)

anyways so while I was looking around, I happened across this video:
http://www.twitch.tv/ailesdelumiere/b/404214420. I skipped to random parts (not watching the whole thing, sorry) in an attempt to gather a better picture of what a “typical battle” with CD looks like, and I came across the moment 14:00 where you rage quit (logged out and back in, LOL) after getting downed in a 1vs1 fight vs a CD opponent.

I didn’t realize people still rage quit in fights they lost, do you do that often?

So, Reikou rage quits during downed state when he loses a fair duel? LOL!

LOL that is priceless. Also reminds me of a certain Pistol/Dagger thief currently on SBI when they lost 1v1s.

The achievement is easy. I got it in my 2nd or 3rd round on the first day with out even trying for it.

But if you can’t do it. It’s not like you need it. Doesn’t reward a title and there are plenty of other achievements that can be done to reach the 25/25.

I agree for the “most” part. Though I would like to point out that in the personal story you have a chance of literally killing dozens of YOUR pact allies due to betrayal and a mesmer spell.

Though when even developed characters are dying left, right and center. When a dozen no name people die. It loses its impact.

Also Trehearne’s passiveness to people dying also adds to the ‘meh some one died again’ factor. “Oh no. People died. We paid a great cost! … Let’s move on and pretend this never happened. I have this plan that the prio…err. I came up with! Yes. I totally came up with it.”

To be honest, I think that gives Trahearne a lot of character. He sounds very passive, and almost not caring, but still he does all these things to cleance Orr because it’s his Wyld Hunt.

It’s most likely because he’s a Sylvari, and not a Human. He was born for one thing, and he wants to complete it.

So you’re saying he is willing to sacrifice any one in order to achieve a single goal.

Meaning we’re all fools for helping out Trahearne because he is the true villain of this story!

I can only conclude that the people who have been complaining about the JP are the same people who fail to see how it could be utilized as a valuable tool to help in the WvW effort. Multiple times I saw massive waves of enemies being ported up helping their server to a huge amount of siege equipment. This would go on for hours. Most while my server was pampering any enemy up there instead of taking control for an extensive time.

Well you lot who failed to see it’s use got your wish. The entire JP is a massive joke now and not worth doing. Account bound chest and no more orichalcum.

Thank you very much.

Pver orichalchum mention just ruined ur argument

You don’t use crafted gear in WvW? News to me!

Who here has some sort of tactic in crab toss other than the obvious ‘zerg the one with the crab’ that most people do.

When ever I play a round and some one else is the winner. If that person stays for the next round. I will place a target on that person’s head and fear/yank/interrupt the kitten out of them even if they don’t have the crab so they don’t win again until they rage quit.

Another favourite tactic of mine is when I have the crab. I play chicken with the veteran karka and dodge through them so that every one that is chasing me gets flattened. Then hide behind the karka and use them as area of denial to run around.

What are some tactics you like to use?

Folk.2093:

I logged onto my thief and just did the JP myself ;p

This.

Though I wouldn’t say no to a portal and say thank you. No tip.

I can live with out portals. Apparently some can’t.

I saw your D/P build that you use and honestly, you should be using D/D instead. The lack of ini regen and stealth buffs defeats the point of using D/P.

Nah. Ever since Dancing Dagger nerf, dagger off-hand has been pretty bad.

The utility that Headshot and Black Powder bring are far superior to what the Dagger offhand can provide. Shadowshot is also much more useful than death blossom.

Hmm, I see. I just don’t think that running D/P without +2/sec ini regen and +2 ini on stealth is very safe cause to open with stealth you’re already dumping 9 of your 15 initiative which imo is dangerous since you have no ini regen boosts. D/P skills are generally quite high ini req. skills so for me having +3ini/sec regen and +2 ini on stealth is a must. I don’t like initiating pre-fight stealth with my utilities cause I generally reserve them for mid combat. Imo, sacrificing the 25 in DA for 25 in SA is worth it for the extra survivability you get.

D/P can stay in stealth forever when no one is around. That alone should tell you some thing.

Before it was shortbow that was a must have for all thieves. Now its D/P.

Because stealth is oh so useful when no one is around… D/P is the flavour of the month though I really don’t know why. It’s an amazing build to troll people with and that’s about it. Far FAR less dangerous than a glass cannon D/D thief, or a P/D condition spammer.

D/P is a hard counter to a P/D condition spammer. D/D is just all round squishy and gets a lucky backstab when you’re not looking.

I’ll believe that when I see it. I find it hard to take a build seriously that does bugger all damage while remaining so fragile that a well timed breeze causes death. The micro managing the constant stealth is a pain in the kitten as well.

Either you don’t know how to spec/gear for it or you’re bad at it. I did great with it before I got bored with it as I prefer a different play style. Though I still keep it as my off set even though I’m not speced for it any more. It’s not crazy backstab damage. But it still hurts the damage they can out put and its survivability insane. You are basically condition immune and your enemy is blinded/dying.

It’s the new test for the wow graphics style mode so some players feel at home with the less detailed, bright colours. You’re one of the lucky ones who have been randomly selected to test this mode.

AnthonyOrdon.3926:

The big ones only target crab carriers as well. Here’s how to get Crabtacular:

1. Grab crab.
2. Run from other players.
3. Run towards big karka.
4. Dodge big karka roll.
5. Watch karka roll over everyone who was chasing you.
6. Laugh.

I did exactly that before knowing there was an achievement for it.

I did it with out trying/knowing how to do it. All I did was grab the crab and lured every one to the rolling karka that I hid behind.

Dahir.4158:

It’s always the ones with shiny weapons

He just wanted his daily kills.

Funny thing is. I assume by the guild name it’s the same guy from WoW which I captured on video doing the same thing in battlegrounds (though it is allowed in that game.)

He also posted a thread questioning the rules, yet still breaks them.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/What-is-the-purpose-of-the-multiboxing-rule/1997657

It’s like he cannot understand why he isn’t allowed to one shot every one with a single key stroke.

Found a video of his showing off his guild list and wuts this at :40 ? “GW2 KEYMAP IS NOW ACTIVE” ?

Raestloz.7134:

Zoomhack?

You mean, you can zoom at the distance of SAB boss?

Seen screens of them zooming further. (To the moon alice!)

So while we’re on the topic of cheating. How long before the “We Are Prepared [PREP]” guild is going to stop ruining the WvW scene with their rampant multiclienting? Is this guild just one person with a bunch of accounts or what?

Was hard pressed to get a clean screen shot. What with their auto syncing lock on arrows and their waves of pigs.

Would be nice when SBI players see them and not help them out either.

Simple answer is. Underwater combat is broken.

Yerffejy.6538:

But if I saw the person doing it, I would report them. Easy as that.

And I would not build an AC from them. Nor give them one. Yeah, you can’t control people, but you can report, and give them less opportunities to cheat.

And because you can report some one. Do you think they automagically disappear?

He’s the real question. Why are you doing down scaled content if it is too easy for you?

Yerffejy.6538:

A bit concerning SoS, that whilst you outnumber us on SBI BL like 10:1, you still see the need to zoomhack and AC all our siege down that way.

I don’t know who did it, but you guys need to put a stop to it. Ruins the whole game, especially when you don’t even need to cheat…

It happens on every server. Not a localized thing. You don’t notice it on your server because you’re not fighting them. Let alone control them.

Griff.9302:

Is there any particular reason why SoS and SBI are avoiding each other to clear us off a map? Before somebody cries foul and says it isn’t happening let me point out that we are outmanned on EB, were attacking a tower held by SoS that they were defending, SBI comes in from behind and wipes us, then proceeds to move off in a different direction… namely chasing a few stragglers with a zerg. Have seen this at least 6 different times over the last week or so. Odd… very odd.

SoS and SBI just know better while CD are left scratching their heads.

From grub with love.

I find the lack of score updates and keyboard warriorism in this thread disturbing.
