Guild Wars 2

nirvana.8245:

Seems people are neglecting to realise this player could be comming the servers movements to their own server or at least a player or guild within it.

so kill them then, you are invincible in your own spawn, they are not.

All you have to do is stealth past the defenders. Not hard. Not a hack. Not an exploit. Not a bug. Just using game mechanics as intended.

stability = no knockdown.

Sithaco.4673:

I guess you see it in sports ladders as well, the team on top have been beaten before by teams very very far down the ladder.

Bad analogy, terrible analogy. A top steam on a sports ladder plays with the exact same number of players as a bottom team. Sports teams play with the same number of players at the same time. Sports teams don’t outnumber their opponents 10 to 1 and show up to play when the other team is asleep.
A round robin would be a disaster and boring as hell for the vast majority of matches. Sure a small number of people would get perverse pleasure out of absolutely roflstomping far far far less populated servers but for the majority it would be boring as hell.

Etaoin.4362:

I think we are beginning to lose track of the greater argument here. The point of this suggestion was not to bring up contention about how to interpret “unique”, but rather to question whether the concept fits well with the game as designed, and whether or not the equip restriction should be done away with completely or, barring that, whether some “grace period” mechanic should be put in effect (or, another possible alternative, some method of swapping one unique item for another at vendors).

Nope, I find things fine as they are. Before I spend any currency that takes considerable time or effort I always research and/or ask questions in map/guild. There is no reason to code for buyers remorse/error.

As my Dad used to say to me when i was growing up, “Slow down, you’ll get done faster”. Taking your time and making the right choice the first time is almost always faster then rushing, making a mistake and having to start from scratch again.

No. There are plenty of other achievements which are time sensitive (halloween and christmas) or limited edition or even from a different game entirely (gw1).

Esoteric.5490:

I’m not from the #1 server in my tier and I don’t care if the first place server had all the orbs, it would force 2nd and 3rd to both try and get them back.

This is where your ‘logic’ fails completely. 2nd and 3rd place often battle each other now because they have a better chance of beating each other then the 1st place team in the tier. Make the 1st place team in the tier stronger with orbs will only make 2nd and 3rd AVOID 1st even more then now.
Nothing you can do will force 2nd and 3rd to ally up and attack 1st. Players will attack whoever they want, and the majority of players will fight who they think they have the best chance of defeating.

A. fly hacking has never been dealt with so robs would just be hacked back and forth again as they were before, so no thanks.
B. If you think orbs ever brought balance then you have clearly forgotten how bad matches were when we had them.

Blame WXP. WXP has caused more people to zerg in even bigger balls then ever before. Maybe (though doubtful) this will finally inspire anet to do something to de-incentivise zerging for a change. 30-40 and even 50 man balls were okay but now we get 80-100 man balls.
When you stack that many people into a tight ball then suddenly explode outwards into skills and movement and effects its also going to cause an explosive usage of server resources.

no it isn’t an easy fix.

no they helped to stabilise WvW by removing free transfers which were never supposed to happen if guesting was finished at launch.

d/d ele needs a lot nerfs, ride the lightning distance isn’t one of them.

just tell everyone if they want to know whats going on to join your squad, or deal without knowing.

As to who would ‘waste’ 100g just to avoid spam suppression? I would wager the exact people who the spam suppression is there to stop would not hesitate to ‘waste’ 100g on the icon and that is gold sellers. Not like they work hard or earn the gold, it would just be the cost of doing their shady business.

1. press o
2. click trading post tab
3. set filter to consumables and sort by price.
4. buy and eat the cheapest food listed (always 2copper each from my experience).
5. achievement done at a total cost of 50c.

Nay of the Ether.8913:

You could have dumped it into the mystic toilet, granted you would prob get a single rare item back for the 4 exotics you put in lol, but at least you could salvage the rare for a single ecto (maybe).

Wrong, 4 exotics = 1 exotic minimum, most like 1-4g which is far better then nothing.

elitists may be present without a DPS meter, but adding one will just make it rampant. NO to DPS meters.

Its weird that a company like Anet has this way of ignoring there are other timezones besides NA. Having to stay up untill 2:15-2:30AM for a WvW reset is a complete joke imo.

The jokes on you for choosing to stay up that late to play a game

Because we have no choice? Pretty stupid remark really.

You have no choice about a game? Really? Someone holds a gun to your head and forces you to play? Its not a job. It doesn’t pay the bills. It doesn’t put a roof over your head or food on the table. Grow up and learn a game isn’t that important in life.

Funny but the exact question was just asked the other day and it got an answer from a dev and important tips from players. If you had searched you’d already know the answer.

funny but watergates have always had oil and cannons when upgrades in both overlook and valley keeps.

Funny now that I look they do seem to have gone missing since the last update … I would suggest filing bug reports and getting this thread moved to the bug forum

Terrahero.9358:

Then how about changing the time of the global reset? Make it a few hours earlier or a bit later.

No. That would inconvenience me.

<insert previously posted thoughts from countless other threads that you should have searched for and posted in>

Anet has already stated they will not be adding a race change option, move on already.

ChasingChocobos.8341:

Worked very hard on that monthly and lost it all.

Well apparently you didn’t work hard at all. You had 31 days, thats 744 hours , why would you wait til the last possible hours to get it done? My last 2 monthlies were done by the 4th day of the month, and I put no effort into any of it.
Stop trying to beat the buzzer by waiting til the time is almost up, if you do at the very least educate yourself as to when the period ends. It really is not that hard.

Isaac.6041:

The only good reason why there are separate NA and EU servers is for latency issues.

And that’s a kitten weak reason as it is. Australasia deals with latency just fine, EU could have also. If we had world servers we’d all have much better coverages and balance in wvw.

why? because it is a daily task, not a infinite amount of time until you get around to finishing it task.

gems can be bought with gold … gold is free, just takes time.

Would that be number of players per hour? Which hour? During ‘primetime’? Whose ‘primetime’?
Would that be players by login? So player A logs in and out 10 times a day and play a cumulative total of 3 hrs while player B plays the same 3 hours but only logs in once. How does this help? Logins tell you nothing.
So what metric are you going to use to count participation and how will you ensure its accurate and representative?

Tetra Bug.7134:

Basedgod.7328:

It is funny though when there is a colour change after being one colour for so long.

First and foremost thank you Based God, but yeah I’ve done it. AR was blue for months, we went green and I was so thrown off I was going into the wrong portals and not realizing towers were mine, not gonna lie.

See thats a temporary issue tho, if colour randomness was added you would never again but used to be a color and would quickly learn to pay attention

DeWolfe.2174:

anything, with the capacity to treb Stone Mist from Overlook, this gives Red a distinct advantage. No other zones can attack SM from a keep. Pangloss is also a highly defensible camp on the map too. I think the developers did a good job of making the zones balanced and a slight edge to the 3rd place world.

Sorry but you missed a few glaring weaknesses. Overlook is also the only keep that can be trebbed from SM, effectively making the outer wall negligent and the WP pointless.
As for any argument about pangloss, the same can be said for Rogues in the green corner. It too has two highly defensible entrances.
Red is further disadvantaged when it comes to speldan, not only is it far from home making it the most difficult to defend, its yaks have the furthest distance to travel making it the easiest to pick off.
Anz pass is also further from the keep then any green tower and also is very hard to defend when you don’t hold SM.

THE Dentist.5960:

Glicko is the problem imo.

So whats the solution?

Sawnic.6795:

Is it reportable to do a giveaway that requests the users spam map chat with numbers? Because people keep doing it on certain servers I’m guesting to so now I’m curious.

By spam I mean spam. Easily 20+ entries from several players just flooding the chat with numbers.

Simply answer: Yes it is spam.

Why is it spam? All the giveaway person has to do is ask people to spam whisper them these magical numbers and no one else would be inconvenienced by 100 numbers spamming across the screen. The fact that the giveaway person whats these number in map chat makes it far more likely they are just trolling and I find it dubious they actually give away anything

For whatever reason being in a party = more drops overall in wvw. I have tested this, others have tested it, run around solo = very few bags and generally worse quality loot, run around in a party = generally more loot bags and a higher % of better quality drops.
Its also been tested and proven high DPS = more loot, a quick search and you will find many support/healer build players lamenting the short straw they’ve been dealt.

Another reason for running in a party is you earn more influence for your guild, especially if its a guild party.

shoulda saved those exotics to put into the mystic forge at least.

Ok I Did It.2854:

It should be 100% random each week …

Worst idea ever posted on these forums. T1 servers randomly fighting t6/7/8 servers? what a boring and pointless bloodbath that would be. You’d be lucky if you ever got a competitive match again and that would only happen if the current teams in tiers were randomly matched up again.

Do you run in a party while in WvW? Do you play a support build vs. a DPS build? Those are two of the biggest factors concerning badge drop rate.

poison stacks duration, not effect. IE: 3 poisons do not = 99% heal reduction, just means if each was 3 seconds long the effect would be exactly the same but last for 9 seconds.

Any guildmember that has the right to recruit new membersgets the title ‘Guild Recruiter’[…]

Catisa, reading isn’t your strong side is it?

title != rank

Try again at your reading comprehension.

RebelYell.7132:

I just like how awesome the fight is. Demonic screaming giant monster, with the camera zooming out dynamically, and your BossBattle music playing.

Really, stand in one place and auto-attack with absolutely no chance to ever fail is your idea of ‘awesome’?

yes, lower the tier the small the zerg on average … that doesn’t mean there are not zergs but its not generally one mega super zerg.
Having started in t8 and now up to t5, I miss the lower tiers, the sense of being able to accomplish something meaningful with 3-5 people certainly diminishes each tier up.
T5 IMO is where its really become about huge zergs. I barely ever see action involving groups of 20 or less anymore.

Loot > rezzing … the dead can respawn, my loot bags are lost if my side gets wiped.

a screenshot to show Devon exactly where you are managing to get to may assist him with researching the exact spot you are questioning.

sPvP already uses a different skill rule set then PvE.

Zorby.8236:

1. Aquire a fresh guild
2. Set title
3. Troll away
4. …
5. Profit?

2. that’s a guild rank not a title. Guild ranks only show in the guild tab, which would be useless for the purposes the OP wants a title for.

Anet’s improved dungeon finder will be released when its ready. You will get no other timeline on it. You are kidding yourselves if you honestly think any date will be given before its done and ready. The priority on it should not be very high as there is an acceptable and working alternative (whether you ‘like’ it or not, it does work), while other issues should have much higher priorities (ie: in game lag).

Cantha will not happen for gw2.

A single portal = 20 people max … hardly a zerg or difficult or unheard of or first time either.

RyuDragnier.9476:

Sekz was keeping you guys busy, the rest of us were fighting off AR and holding onto our stuff. It paid off in the end. And Catisa, you guys were zerging us pretty badly in EB borderlands earlier. Had pretty much every AR in our borderlands zerging places.

Did I say anything about it being on Ebay and BP? no I didn’t, mega zerging in AR is just as boring IMO.

another boring week of mega zergs

did you adjust the 2 new graphic settings that were added when culling was removed?
