Guild Wars 2

Proof, in the best way I can give you.

Pack Hunter.6103:

Recursive argument to avoid proof. /bug it and let it go. I dont believe you, it doesnt make sense from a programming point of view

Do.. do you want me to post a game crashing code on the forums where hundreds of people read?

It is true, I’d give out the code if you know, it didn’t crash the game..

Tested by me and my guildies, crashed them whatever they posted it in, guild chat crashed our guild, /say just crashed them, whisper crashed them and another person.

I’d post it in bug reports but this needs traction, it instantly crashes EVERYONE who happens to have the chat where its posted enabled.

Soo, if your game is sending you back to character select for no reason, theres a code in the game that will crash the map for anyone who reads it. I tested it and confirmed, it does instantly crash everyone in the same map as you as well as yourself.
This needs to be patched RIGHT NOW for everyone, think of the chaos that would happen to WvWvW, the code was already given to NSP in map chat.

oicu anet employee hiding behind XOXO and tM in the bloodlust. Couldn’t handle the solo roaming eh? ;P

Devs don’t actually play wvw, they just follow the wvw players and press their 1 key, silly.

I reeallly want too. But this is BS, I’m a roamer except for in guild formups, usually fight way larger groups, and I don’t feel like fighting 3 on 8 with the 8 having +150 stats apiece.

Don’t worry GoM… NSP loves youuu

And we love you too DH, its a shame that we can’t have any epic battles this week. We’re being outnumbered in our own borderlands the entire time, but aren’t in DH borderlands. =(

Its been an intense, three way fight this entire time. Excited to see the outcome of this week, the battle for first seems like it could go either way!

If you’re experienced or have someone experienced with you, maybe 20 minutes.

But water makes me extremely dizzy, nauseous and terrified. Being actually underwater is relatively fine, because of the camera, but being in a zone full of water, dark water, pools of water, rushing water, and waterfalls is just too much….

I guess it can’t be helped, but is there a route besides jumping the rapids or facing the geysers to get to the end?

I miss quests and expansions at this point. I miss being able to do that new content when I wanted too, and I miss being able to help NPCs with interesting stories. But instead I get Grind Wars 2, I can either farm PvE zergs and LS for hours and get tons of profit or play WvW and get broke.

Save progress at checkpoints instead of just zone completion. If I want to leave and come back, I should start at my last checkpoint.

Not a flame thread. Who here plays the game mainly for living story updates and why, vs who here plays the game because of permanent content?

Honestly don’t know whats going on with the game..
Release? This is amazing!
Halloween? This is hilarious, can’t wait for next year!
Wintersday? This is ridiculously fun, not sure whats happening though.
SAB? This is hilariously adorable.
Fractals? Fantastic, this is crazy fun for dungeon runners!
MA? Okay.. the minidungeon was nice.
Southsun? Scavenger hunt was pretty fun, everything else was a bit frustrating, but still fun.
Everything else? Guys, please hear us out here we don’t like whats happening..
Honestly I’m playing the game because of the content at release and nothing else. SAB had me excited, but it was another crushing disappointment based around the gem store..

You’re supposed to expect to lose, but it still punishes us in a mode that’s supposed to kill you so you can learn? Not only are you forced to go a long distance back because of the waypoint distance, why on earth would it consume your lives when you’re expected to die?

Oh wait.

StygSec.7163:

Zone 2: Dart traps can only be spotted at the last second..

Please look more carefully. If you dash through without looking around corners you will lose a lot of lives. As designed.

Was it also designed to force you to buy the coin?
I didn’t think people were serious until I tried, this is ridiculously stupid. Both W2 and trib mode basically say “buy the coin to win lol thx”

Gee, how on earth could this be less live-costly?

Oh wait, you can do that if you pay money.

BlazeQ.1095:

Question: Did anyone from NSP who spent hours on end defending GoM bay wake up today feeling like they had a hangover?

Feel pretty bad myself, but luckily SAB is here so I can unwind by killing 8bit things before I go kill whateverbitwe’reonbynow things.

They told us before hand it was trial/error and “I Wanna Be the Guy” style and now you guys are complaining about it being like that? >.>

Nope.

Its a game that I spend hours on and dump money in monthly. If they can’t pull themselves together to fix issues in their game like lag without begging players for money, then I’ll turn the other way and find a new game..

So, it gives magic find, and uses vicious claws that will soon be crafting Assassin’s stats.
Whats happening to this item? Will I be able to choose stats, will it remain the same, if I craft it tomorrow will it give me assassin stats? 250 claws is obviously quite a kitteneaper than 250 bloods, but I’m not sure if I should go that route.

Quite a beautiful scene we have, a 3/4 red pie and EB on max cap with a 10m queue

No,I find PvP incredibly dull and unrewarding, and whenever I play I just see 10 of whatever is FOTM on each team. Literally nothing but spirit rangers, stunlock warriors and the occasional cond necro in the 9 games I bothered to play today.

I’m mainly a WvW person, but with ascended gear coming out I need to get my rings without spending 4 months waiting on laurels. I’ve done a few low level fractals, but I don’t feel like I’m really helping as much as I should. I’m running full zerk D/P SB because I only have a couple of exotic weapons so far. I’ve heard smokescreen was good, is there anything else?

styx.7294:

I’m a lil’ perplexed with how much hate is in this thread. I was lookin forward to fightin Northern Shiverpeaks and glad to see Eredon Terrace growing.

Dunno what the complaining is about either..

“How DARE you beat us?”

“What? That’s kind of the entire point of WvW..”

“B-but muh feels!”

GoM brings some amazing small scale fights, I’ll say.
BL is empty today… wonder whats going on?

Where are all these numbers coming from?
Our “huge man zergs run by literally Kitler Os” don’t exist.

But yeah, we have our foot in the door of your BL and don’t want to give it up. Cosmicwarmachine and a few others are making it very, very interesting down there.

People are spamming huge ~6k damage aoes with 0 cooldown (I’ve never even seen the spell before, its like they are spamming JI but not actually porting with it), players take 46 damage from a full zerked thief hit, I’m getting oneshot by Necro staff auto and I’m only on the 15th ranked server.

Not to mention we have over 5 spies who are killing our golems and draining our sups, we can’t even use mapchat or commander tags at this point, but they could “just be new” so no actions will be taken..

Level 15 in full T3?
Duuude.

We had a dev

He quit/got fired.

Ranger of the zerkiest zerk SB/LB Reflexes SoS and SoTH.

Completely worthless achievement, they made a fight based on luck, slapped a time limit forcing you to use dps, made it far easier for some classes and hung it above an insanely laggy zone full of players and mobs, and called it skill if you win.

Hoping SAB tribulation will be a lot better.

Does this mean you’ll be getting back into WvW more? With Smit on leave and our old mute commander buddies MIA, this would be fantastic news.

Toat.2761:

I am talking about even in LA it being dead quiet. maybe it is just my sever?

Personally I have no interest in being in a guild or developing closer online friendships, so this saddens me.

Quite possibly its your server, or you have mapchat disabled.

My server is plenty chatty.
Racial cities are rarely visited because of the lack of incentive to go to them, Lions Arch is where the people are.
QD has people talking all the time, if you can find some players on an otherwise empty map they’ll probably strike up a conversation, even the farming zerkle-jerk in Frostgorge is nothing but conversation and dps.

The crazy inflation going on.
No one in my server but me seems to mind that you can buy like 50g for 20$.

Sold not 1, not 2, but 3 pieces of my T3 cultural to a vendor and didn’t notice until the day after. Chest, legs and helm all gone.

I created my ranger on day 1 and have around 85% of my time clocked on her alone. No one has ever said “yay a ranger” or “good thing we got a ranger for this” except for one momentous occasion in TA the second month of the game when I was needed to pull a boss. No one ever says anything about my dps, even when I’m running Jag/full zerk/sword with QZ and RaO. I’m met with a silence in every pub I join, and I’m the only ranger main in my guild because everyone else rolled a warrior. My pet is nothing but a hindrance since I mainly play WvW, he either bugs out and stays in combat, slowing me behind the zerg, or he makes it impossible for me to hide via terrain because he kitten s 10 feet away from me all the time. My pet isn’t even part of my playstyle anymore, except for F4 F2 when I’m downed and I have a wolf.

But we’re totally fine, y’know. Those poor oppressed thieves have to deal with all the other classes taking their core mechanic, initia- I mean stealth!

Kotaki precursor went from ~35g to ~130g last time I checked.
Was considering going for it myself, but I guess I’ll just not.

I never got a chance to do the clocktower, so I’d love that.

Putting points to BM in PvE definitely won’t hurt you, since the main problem with pets is their terrible tracking ability. Healing springs is by far our best heal in groups and even in solo if you use a sword or a greatsword and use their leap finishers (sword 2 and GS 3). Signet of the hunt is good for the movespeed but the other signets are very lackluster until you get a certain trait (Signet of the Wild is the only one I’d even consider, honestly). If you plan on going a pet build, Sic ‘Em is very effective for a 40% damage buff, and running a cat that will easily kill most mobs. Lightning Reflexes is probably our best stunbreaker, so you might want to consider running that. As for your ’0’ skill, you could use your culturals (change depending on race), but for PvE our non-cultural ultimate would probably be Rampage as One.

As for weapons, Greatsword is more of a defensive tanky weapon that isn’t that useful anymore. Longbow is fairly good, but depends on positioning for maximum dps. Sword is our highest DPs weapon, but be careful not to go hurtling off cliffs when you use it! Shortbow is, well, I don’t really use it anymore after the range nerf, but it is our pewpewpew weapon. MH axe is the best aoe ranged we have right now, offhand axe is very nice when you are fighting multiple mobs, along with OH torch. OH warhorn, once again I don’t use much.

As for pets, stick to drakes and felines and birds honestly. The others are beyond lackluster besides Sylvan Hound, Wolf and sometimes Hyena. Felines and birds do the most DPS, with birds being the squishiest. Drakes do a nice cleave and have fantastic F2 skills. Jellyfish and Sharks are good for underwater pets, and I’d suggest constantly running a harpoon gun.

As for me, I run Longbow/Sword OH Axe with Sylvan Hound/Jaguar for pve, but I mainly stick to things like the new invasions and its probably not as efficient in lower level pve.

Levelling my alt while I wait for my flipped items to sell.
Unless you can get a hold of what you are doing, I’d suggest just champion trains.

I’ve been missing Maelstrom because it apparently never shows up. I go to do the dishes, and its 10:09 with Maelstrom. However, I get stuck in an overflow with no Maelstrom because I was about 10 seconds away? What stupid design plan was this? I can’t think of a single reason of why there should be a time limit on overflows, the reward is map-bound anyway..

Anyone looking for map completion-
NSP does a full sweep through Arah>Grenth>Lyss>Dwayna>Balthazar>Eye at reset tonight. I’m not sure how many people will be there today because loot is meh, but we can usually do it in about 2 hours.

This is driving me absolutely crazy.
My first character was created at release, and I have never used a makeup or hair kit. However, the T3 armor glows well, white. My character has a red glow, with red eyes and gray skin, yet the armor insistently glows white. This is really upsetting, because it ruins any plans I have to dye it and makes it definitely not worth the cost. How do I fix this? Do I have to use a makeup kit?

What if Scarlet Briar isn’t the one behind all of this?

Her sudden reveal for little to no reason, her insanity and her suspiciously impressive resume have all had me thinking. Are we after a hoax?

Sylvari are rather easily manipulated compared to other races, one had accidentally sworn himself into servitude to the Inquest. Its very possible someone else is pulling the strings, quite possibly a person of power. All of the holes with convincing the MA and Aetherblades to assist her and work together, her empty dialogue about them could be entirely intentional.

Astasia.1459:

Zerging AB champs doesn’t fail the event.

Having half the map doing nothing but completing maybe a total of 4 events during the entire invasion, does. Especially when you have another 25% afk and have only 7 people trying to complete the entire event, and they can’t finish because of scaling in some of the events.

Ayrilana.1396:

Guest on another server.

That’s not very helpful when the majority of the time you get an overflow, and you don’t know what servers are farming until you actually manage to get a non-overflow and hit the aetherblade mark.

All of our commanders are advertising farming Ablades, with a huge zerg of people just farming the champions. How do I get to QJ? Give up, wait another hour, work for 25m then see people are just gonna farm again and intentionally fail the event?

ArmageddonAsh.6430:

Guess where they all are…Living Story. My server had more then 100 people doing them the other night and had like 7 commanders NONE of whom i had seen in WvW…EVER.

Nothing against LS, or PvE commanders, but literally no one is in WvW. I’ve never seen this before..

I honestly thing everyone just up and transferred. Anyone seen a Smitry, Strong Blue Wind or Mercenary Bodyguard in their WvW yet? :i

There are literally three people on Eternal Battlegrounds in NSP, with so far I have found a whopping 6 SF and no IoJ in sight. I have never seen it this empty in an entire year, was there a major transfer or something that happened?

I haven’t seen any of our main commanders in a long time at this point, and even SBW isn’t akitteng in Lion’s Arch. Where are the people at?
