DH: If you spent half the time learning to fight players as you do looking for whats not currently being defended so you can PvDoor it, you’d be doing a lot better. Kinda sad the only time you guys come to play is when you have overwhelming numbers and still lose the majority of time (think back to the 2 hours SoS had you on farm at bravost, you finally took it back after we left cause you guys sent some people to pvdoor our keep again).
The other day you guys punched 3 holes in SM walls, ran us out of all 2,800 supply, came in to inner once, got wiped with half the numbers and then ported in mass to IoJ because there was some resistance, even tho you had us clearly on the ropes. Are you that afraid of repair bills? I don’t get it.
I have a feeling AR will get its butt handed to them in t5, but honestly I’d rather die more if it means some fights with people that fight back and don’t run to the lowest populated map and hope no one shows up.
AR
anet has already stated its in the works.
AR
We should also have a check box to turn off player generated music entirely.
AR
maybe instead of bouncing between characters so much play one to 80 and make some money (not that you can’t at lower levels but there are more options higher up).
AR
On the other hand, Chests are for better stuff UNLESS it was from killing a Dolyak, which the chest means you’ll receive 5 supply in addition to whatever coins/spikes/barbs actual gear it dropped.
Unless you have 15 supply from a buffed camp then that chest will subtract 5 and drop you to 10.
AR
best solution is for dead people to just see the world map, they can either stare at the map hoping to see ’A noble soul is healing you" or choose a WP and get back to the fight.
AR
Y Get your hands cut off if you nerf ele but no….
d/d ele is getting nerf on 26 march also.
AR
not until they can stop them from being hacked, which Anet has made absolutely no attempt and/or progress on.
AR
stealth is already getting two big nerfs on march 26th, how about we give it some time to judge the actual impact of those changes first before calling for more.
AR
march 26th.
/more words
AR
why don’t you search the forums and read whats been talked to death in several threads already
AR
so we could have even more server with nightcapping problems? no thanks (and I am in aus, and do not have near the latency issues you describe)
AR
It just shouldn’t always be the best option to have everyone on the map in one spot and that is what the need to balance out.
Simple, give them more then one target they need to defend at the same time and they can’t be all in one place at the same time without losing something.
AR
I miss the gw1 days of actually needing corpses to make minions and of them slowly decaying and you fighting to heal them and keep them alive, was so much fun in gw1.
AR
rotate the starting maps … solved. Current system locks highest ranked server in the tier as green, 2nd highest as blue and lowest as red. If starting colors were random/rotated everyone would have a chance to get all the points in a few weeks.
AR
CoF p1 needs a serious buff so its not so kitten easy and short.
AR
d/d ele is getting a much needed nerf on march 26th.
AR
A while back anet said in a video they were not happy with it and considering a change … when/if it comes who knows … simple and best solution is when you are dead you see nothing but the map to choose a wp
AR
maps are small in this game, you have a choice move faster or use a utility.
AR
they were just on sale
and gold is not hard to make in this game.
AR
(edited by Catisa.6507)
pay 2 win? Go play another game, we don’t want that crap here.
AR
so you ground out 1000’s of gold worth of mats and precursor for legendary but needed cash to transfer? lol
As to the issue of maps and wvw … I’ll not comment, done that enough on the other 4000000000 threads you could have easily posted to/read
AR
Legendary is supposed to show you are proficient in all aspects of the game, as such WvW needs to be apart of that. You can however just doing the jumping puzzles.
AR
no you could not. Dailies have always reset at 7pm est (8pm during DST). You have never ever had dailies last for more then 24 hrs in this game … it wouldn’t be a daily then.
AR
all ascended gear should be available from ALL forms of play … this game was supposed to be ‘play how you want’ and its turned into another pve dungeon grinder
AR
As Olba said above, daily has never rolled over in GW2. It lasts for one day, hence why its called a daily.
AR
This is so minor of an advantage …
Really? +100 power and +70 precision (as an example) is pretty close to the stats on one piece of exotic gear. You wanna run around with one less piece of armour then everyone else? I don’t
you should be playing on your build not on the food.
No, you should be using all possible options to be the best you can be.
AR
the whole point of golem rushes is to show up and get in before the defenders can show up. People who build big armies of golems want to pvdoor.
Eh, that applies to everything. Nobody ever goes to a tower/keep/supplycamp and waits for defenders to show up. Golems or not.
Golems, however, are slow to move even with a couple of mesmers around. Took some 2 minutes for those guys just to walk from frontdoor to inner door in the BL eastern keep… And they even used a portal in between. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCeE066DePc)
thats simply not a good group then. You can get golems from outer to inner in under 30sec.
AR
everyone doesn’t do the same damage per tick tho.

AR
One of the tenets of the game was supposed to be: Play the Game the Way You Want
Never believe marketing slogans. The game has never been that way, ever.
AR
commander goes down and zerg falls apart instantly? lol glad I don’t waste my time on whatever servers y’all play on. Sometimes commanders have to do suicide rushes and show the zerg its okay to die to get something taken out.
Know what else happens, if a cmdr is downed, half the zerg rushes to get you up, turn the dorito off and sometimes you get just as many run by you without helping.
In the end play what you want and how you are most effective. THE most important thing a cmdr can do is communicate, explain and tell people what the goal is and how you plan on getting it done, once the zerg understands downed dorito or not they’ll do the best they can.
Hell chances are if the cmdr is dead/downed they have more time to type and communicate to the pugs.
AR
So you want them to add new items that can be purchased we pre-farmed currency … so basically you want anything new to be immediately purchasable by longer term players and newer players just have to suck it up and wait?
Is it annoying having new currencies? sure but its better that everyone starts fresh ith new items then having some people fully tricked out with the new stuff 5 seconds after its released because they already had a shedload of whatever currency stocked up.
AR
Hmm, I would like to see the actual fight with those golems, if you have enough players to pilot and enough players to protect those golems.
Search these forums, I know there was a video of a 41 golem zerg and tons of smaller ones, 10 golem pushes are not uncommon
I’m in T1
Good for you but you do realise outside of t1, not every side can fully man 4 maps, 10 golems can blow through 2 gates faster then people can port in and run to the location.
(And capping an opponent tower using 30g is just wasting your money, you can’t hold it.)
First off, you can get that many golems without spending a single copper, just farm the jumping puzzles, you get tons of free siege. Secondly, it is not about holding, its about resetting an enemies upgrades, strip a bl of WP’s and its far harder for that side to defend it
Unless you’ve seriously outmanned your opponents, in which case taking that keep is just matter of time anyways.
it takes less then 10 seconds for 10 golems to melt a reinforced gate so unless a side has a zerg sitting in every tower, keep and castle, it will be capped before you can even defend it.
AR
you do realise that when karma was created in game there were no jugs right? Used to be no way to share at all.
AR
I play full glass cannon thief and have no issues, but then I tend to stealth and start killing in the middle or back of an enemy zerg causing them to lose formation and giving opportunities for others to pick off panicking players.
AR

The trading post is the best place. Besides that, there are always 2 orichalcum nodes in the Eternal Battlegrounds jumping puzzle somewhere. Those are the only nodes in all of WvW for orichalcum.
That last part is incorrect. While EB jump puzzle does always have some, I have also on rare occasions found ori node on the EB map itself (last time was an ori node and ancient wood in umberglade)
AR
there’s nothing wrong, some zergs are dumb and mindless, some use tactics. Just because 30 people run as a group doesn’t mean its a bad thing. Are there more proficient uses of manpower? Sure, sometimes but not always.
WvW is not spvp, stop thinking you are going to get ‘fair’ or ‘balanced’ fights. It’s a war sometimes small forces hold out against large forces, sometimes large forces steam roll small ones. Get over it and move on.
AR
My buds and I often try to ninja keeps with 5-8 men and with the new changes were left in the cold since everyone keeps scouts in keeps now, and as soon as we hit something there are swords it has made this type of play much harder if it can be done at all with enemy forces on the map. Even if we que quaggs the time it takes to siege and run supply is much longer than 3 min this all this while avoiding a scout.
This would also stop red flaging with one toon.
The white swords where there before too, they have not changed at all.
PS: try not PvDooring all day and get out there and fight for what you want.
AR
anet has already stated its in the works … learn to search.
AR
none, there are no gaps that need filling, you’d just be hurting one of the existing ones.
AR
The studio is in America, good probably the servers (including the EU ones) are too.
NA servers are in the US, Eu servers are in Germany. The whole point of seperating Eu was so they didn’t have higher ping connecting to US servers (though all of austalasia gets screwed as usual).
AR
What I hate is that progress made in the “Daily” is made null at 5pm. If I have a narrow window for play – say 4:45pm to 5:15pm – I’m screwed. Progress made should not be erased at 5pm!
You don’t need to do your daily just from 4:45 to 5:00, you can also use the 5:00 to 5:15 part. Don’t wait for the deadline to come and complain you had no time, get ahead of the curve and finish early.
For east coast Au the reset currently comes at 11am, when most are at work. For me my daily is usually done 30 minutes after the reset, not cramming 30 before it.
AR
OP: I’d suggest looking up the definition of Karma, once you know what it is in the real world you will easily see the correlation into this game and why one toons actions shouldn’t benefit another.
AR
anet agrees … but if you searched before you posted you would have found it it is not technically possible to do so right now and it is not high on the list of things to get around to working on.
Use the workaround they provided. Get a guildmate to help you out, log your toon with the prints you want to move and drop them, note i said drop not deploy, then alt and have your guildmate do the same back to you.
AR
sure, you can have bank interest … along with withdrawal fees, minimum deposit fees, and the other 4000 bank fees.
AR
collectible tabs hold 250 … wouldn’t do you much good. What are you saving them for? Some rainy day hopefully, maybe, someday, might, could add something new?
I dunno, just my opinion, but if you wanna horde then you will run out of space, as you should.
AR
spend them, they won’t take up space then
