Guild Wars 2

should i be happy to see gw2lfg.com full of “LF1M”? it could be that the last spot was the vacant spot after they kicked someone. it could be that its a guild/friend team which could kicked you when youre almost done to accomodate their other guildmate/friend who just logged on. kitten the hell that 1M could be someone that they can just toy around with and kick if he reacts to them.

Beware of “LF1M”

I too look out for the notorious “lf1m”, especially when the group is mid way through a dungeon (especially sketchy if the group is at a difficult bit) because what i think when i see is it that the group was so terribly incompetent that someone rage quit midway through – there have been several times when i am right.

What you’re arguing is an opinion. Just because you find leveling through PvE boring doesn’t mean it’s a flawed system. There are other people who quite thoroughly enjoy the PvE leveling process.

Did you play gw1?

yeah they said in the manifesto that gw2 would have the same leveling time as gw1, which is odd because it only took me 15 hours to max in gw1 but 80 hours in gw2..

Jokes aside, once youve level a toon to 80 not many of us are all that keen to do it again with the time required.
Not trying to insult your game at all anet, the gameplay and mechanics are wonderful but pve is a bit of a drag sometimes :>

Ok – if you are going to do wvw for the goal of making money you are a moron.

If you cannot see the point of being able to treb vale from hills or anz from sm, you are also a moron.
This one i will elaborate on: The home borderland is supposed to give an advantage to the defending server, that is why every server has one and they are all identical.
Ideally the defending server should maintain every point on their map, which is why there are treb-able towers to the south of the forts where the enemy spawn, and not to the north, where you spawn, meaning that you are more easily able to apply pressure to the enemy invaders, and they cannot so easily apply pressure to you.
As for stonemist – its purpose and therefore its design is to be the most coveted landmark in wvw. What better way to achieve this goal than by having the team who holds it able to pressure the enemy servers from the safety of the walls.

This isnt a book, and the reason that you can treb from a fort is because its your home borderland – you are supposed to be able to defend it and apply pressure to invaders. Also, trebs dont do alot of damage and the damage to walls can easily be outdone by an even mildly competent group of players running supply.

So FA managed to hide their golem zerg at DB hills and they were in before TG had anytime to react..good play i guess

It was pretty risky to get our golems from spawn to hills north gate. I’m surprised no one from DB saw it. Then again, I imagine it was really unexpected.

We saw you guys a bit before you broke through, then you guys disappeared and we were just saying ‘’man where did these guys go – ima go check the north gate’’ literally the second you broke through.
Its a shame you didnt launch the attack earlier when there more of us to defend the keep we had held onto for 3 or so days

1 kill should equal 1 badge – no exceptions.
Obviously the price of items should be increased accordingly

Do some spvp?
Like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hh5zjK7ITpQ
Seriously, stop kidding yourself.

I swear that every person who defends the thiefs blatant overpoweredness does so because they themselves play a thief.

How about we have a new rule – if you play a thief you are not allowed to comment on if they are OP or not

As an organised group of players, it is your duty to to ensure that the zerg can keep on zergin – that means you need to defend hills when the zerg is busy at bay, take camps when the zerg is taking a tower, run supply when the zerg is aoeing off the walls and be the tipping balance when the zerg finally breaks through a wall or gate.

Honestly, it you feel that you and your guildies arent being productive in wvw, youre doing it very wrong

Why all the complaining? This was never billed as the WvW patch, next month was.

Cause this is the WvW forum, and as such, much QQ is bound to happen :P

How big is this patch supposed to be?

Unless youre super geared and have good team composition, a small roaming band of say, 10 or so, will eventually get mauled by a zerg when the enemy server has finally had enough of your shenanigans – what this means is that you and your group are going to fight hard but eventually get gunned down in a blaze of glory. What this also means is that your little 10 man group attracted the attention and time of many more players than you had, which gave your pug zerg that extra advantage in taking what ever it was they were trying to take.
WvW isnt a place for your guild to charge in heroicly and singlehandedly crush the enemy servers. Its a place for your guild to use smart tactics to give your servers pugs an advantage, and take away the advantage from enemy server pugs

Why cant WvW have class technicality? it spicies up the game, seriously if you start removing all the little ‘extra’ things besides zerging around and dpsing everything you see WvW is going to get SUPER boring and lame – if anything we need MORE unique skills and little tidbits that players can use.

I dont think you really have a grasp of whats going on here so ill try to simply it: At certain points in the past, some servers had more players, or better players or both, which contributed to their standings in wvw. In some of these servers, a trend develops and many of these players leave in a mass exodus, which leaves a previously higher tier server with a lower tier capability. Due to the way the point system works in wvw, it takes a few weeks for the new wvw capabilities to settle and start providing even match ups.

Last week, Anet announced that paid servers would soon be introduced, and so many guilds left for servers they were more confident would be viable in wvw – one of those happened to be kaineng.
Its going to take some time for the new balance to emerge, and thats just a fact.
The harder Kaineng wins, the faster they will ascend the tiers

Our guild just moved – so far its a friendly server with a positive attitude for wvw. It is only our first night here though so i might be wrong, but we arent going anywhere

What concerns me about this week more than the size of the zergs is the complete lack of posts from roamers on FA/DB. Roaming guilds basically always have at least a couple people who like to post on forums, and yet nothing. This most likely means that there are no roaming guilds on those two servers, and probably few if any solo roamers either. In other words, another week with nothing to do but wipe zergs, which got boring years ago. I don’t like the spvp format, but I find it harder and harder to do this kind of wvw after playing tpvp and actually fighting good groups.

If there are any skilled guilds on either of these two servers, or even just individuals, please, let me know. I much prefer wvw, but I need good fights to have fun.

Ok, since none of the official leadership is here to respond i guess ill fill in.
Greetings from TG – we are a newly transferred guild to DB (coming from CD). Tonight we fought on the western half of EB, which isnt really a map we fight at often but i think we did a decent enough job.
I think most of TG would like to give props to the Maguuma guild War, as they were really the only force that challenged us tonight (but we do heavily resent your use of bunker eles haha) The only complaint id make is that Mag and FA never ever seemed to attack each other in EB, but maybe i never noticed due to the intense fighting we had :P
Anyways yeah this is shaping up to be one hell of a match – our NA forces seem to be pretty evenly matched, lets hope that the same goes for the oceanics and it should be kitten for everyone

bumping for potential help :/

My character Rulith Hellforge is bugged, when ever i try to load him up i get an infinitely long loading screen.
This happened after getting a skillpoint in Brisban Wildlands

Wow, do you guys answer one thread per day or something?
ive had better service from a privet server of a f2p game – how hard is it to move the location of one freaking character?

Infact thats a very good idea – why dont you have an account option to move stuck characters on the website, ive seen it done on many other games

Come on Anet, ive logged 170 hours on this character, id hate for that to be lost :/

I just got the skillpoint in Brisban Wildlands where you drink the skritt tonic, when the game crashed.
I started it back up and am now stuck in an infinite loading screen. All other toons are fine. not a hardware issue.

Perhaps a Anet staff member could ‘move’ my character to LA or something.
character name is Rulith Hellforge
