However none of them other than GW2 are shipping an xpac for $ in the near future/at all, yet are still releasing healthy amount of content to keep me busy.
Even in AionEU (f2p) I’ve not paid a $ and am getting regular updates and content.
But and a big but, Anet has provided us free content for what 3 years now?, so a lot of us has only played gw2 overwise if we had to play other paid games then we wouldve had to pay a lot more for new content if it is a multi or single player game, with most of the games you have to buy new content because they dont ussually want to give free updates or they just make a new game so either way, imo we pay less playing gw2 than with a lot of other games
All in all, some of the best armors in the game are armors that you need to work for like tier 3s, achi armor, pvp glorious armor, lumi, etc. In any case if you really want them to stop or make less then that means they would need to make money somewhere else, mmmmhhhh how does monthly subscriptions sound to you OP?
Hi, Im kinda struggling to get something like an guide on how me and a few friends can play tPvP successfully, any tips or websites that someone knows of?
Well its like that game called rl, when one old(veteran) person(player) leaves it, a new person (player) comes into the world and the second oldest generation of the world slowly starts to take the position of the oldest generation.
And so is the cycle of life.
there’s little to do besides grind gold.
I dont know about you, but if you really think that grinding gold is the only thing that you can do in the game then you might not be playing the right game :I
Gemstore skins are basically getting extremely annoying, all I see is "Here is some armor that we could have put in game for you to earn via achievements and/or new content but no, we are being lazy and just wanna milk the cash cow a little more each week."
Outfits themselves are a strange option in a game where prestige is ’cosmetic’ as there is no real customisation to outfits and there are plenty of sets being wasted. Imagine if the Chaos weapons could be earned by a new dungeon-esque Fissure of Woe?
I get some might be saved for HoT but there have been the following in the gem store;
- 22 Gemstore outfits
- 21 Weapon sets (multiple weapons in each set, average 11)
- 21 Full armor skins
- 55 Standalone helmet/weapon/armor skinsIf that isn’t a drain on creative resources, I don’t know what is.
In comparison via typical updates since launch we have got;
- 1 Outfit (Hexed)
- 5 Full Armor Skins - 6 more are simply variants, not unique sets (Luminescent and Glorious Hero’s)
- 4 full weapon set (one for each wep and colour/particle variants not included e.g. SAB and ascended)
- 34 Individual weapon skins as random Champion Bag drops.
- 13 Standalone armor pieces (colour/particle variants are not included)This is one of the reasons the game is getting stagnant. Would it be so terrible to spend less time on the gemstore and more time on new content that might keep the player base around?
Trying to keep myself calm here.....
Me1: "So Me2, it must suck that you must pay every month to play that MMO of yours"
Me2: "Nah bra Guild Wars 2 is a revolutionary new type of MMO where you dont pay any money after buying the game. So that means you dont pay every month an subscription and also not for the updates that we get for the game that they could’ve just said "heres the fifth expansion" like with WoW"
Me1: "What! Thats unbelievable, but how does the game’s company survive without subscriptions?"
Me2: "Ah, they have this store called the gem store where you can buy lots of cool or cute outfits for your characters which are totally cosmetic but we buy it because we want to support the game, as well as you can get things to make you’re playing experience a lot more fun or atleast just easier"
Me1: "Kittenikitten that sounds awesome! Im gona get me that game right away"
Ok yeah theres a totally useless piece for you guys to read but, the point is, as I understand it the gem store is Guild War’s primary source of income, now some of you may have not even played subscription MMOs but it kinda sucks to pay 10$-30$ ecpesialy if your countries currency sucks against the dollar which makes it 12 times more!
So yeah, rather take this time, not waste it and use it to come up with a new way for Anet to finance Guild Wars 2 considering that you wanna QQ about them trying to make money!!!
if (noGemstore == 0)
{ guildwars2 = dead }else
{subsriptions = ’Yes’}
Im the proudest of my 1st ele which is an true norn sun goddess that looks just like an angel - with the golden wings and the halo.. When I log in with her Im never rusty with the playstyle, I can log in and pown anyone in PvP (un/ranked). I tried to kill liadri with all my alts but when I went on her I killed liadri on the first try.
Second ’Im very proud of how all my 10 alts look as well as their names. From my lil cutie 3rd ele asura to my second char: my mystifyingly beautiful commander human guardian. Then theres always my 2nd mighty dungeon ele, 2nd stern asuran bunker guardian, baddass charr warrior, my keen eyed ranger, sexy and exotic mesmer with her full T3 human female armor, throat slicing thief.
And third that Im pretty good with all areas of the game, really close to rank 80 in PvP, quite high rank in WvW and done all the content that PvE provided (Ive completed all my jps, dungeons, almost done with fractals)

+1
Ive lost PvP progress and rewards, bosses (like tequel) drops and dungeons rewards because of random dc at the end.
What about if we can have a setting to show our pings? So we can at least see if our internet is playable, like in PvP it happened a few times that my internet is all good in the lobby but, in the match it was unplayable.
For everyone that hasnt heared and reside in the servers whiteside ridge/blacktide coast and vabbi.
A while ago there was this thief and mesmer in blacktide coast that used hacks to cap whole maps in 20 mins. We got alot of pics of him doing it and after I provided the forum peeps with his name and I ultimately got banned for 2 days for that >_> , we couldve seen who this horrible person was namely, yeah I cant remember the numbers but, *cough*Emporor*cough*
And here is what happened to this messed-up person:
http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-32654414
http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/may/08/video-game-execution-guild-wars-2-arena-net
I hope they banned his IP, again! last time he complained that his poor brothers cant play now because of his actions (his IP got banned), he got another chance but, yet he just went on and did it again, next time Anet, dont give them a second chance!
It is not the dungeon elitists (5k+ ap metazerk ele,guard,warr only be exp or kick gearcheck blablabla)
It is not the pvp’er who either call you cheap and useless and stuff like that either in whisper or map chat
The crown goes to *drumrolls*...... THE CANDY CORN ELEMENTAL FARMERS IN BLOODTIDE COAST.
Here is the story: I was doing the renowned heart on a small island in bloodtide coast that requires to kill ambient ravens and rats. When i got there i saw a lot of people grouped together running around. I didnt pay attention since i wanted o do the task. When i started killing ravens a lot of people kept whispering that i am stupid, i should stop killing the ravens and gtfo etc. But things turned really ugly when i killed the candy elementals in 1 hit by accident. I was by a swarm of ravens and the second i swung the sword they turned to candy elementals and i killed them instantly. I felt the hate inside my blood as people started hating, flaming and calling me out like i was doing something illegal( the irony). So i went there with an alt to get the waypoint and saw a group again bitting eachothers heads off, flaming eachother and going crazy in general. There was also a a two man low level group killing ravens, probably to do the task. I cant imagine how much hate he would have gotten from whispers.
The point is, since Anet doesnt seem to like farming like this (RIP queensdale train) they should do something about it since new people who go there will probably get verbaly abused by the people there. It is like Queensdale all over again where people where flaming if a champ died earlier before everyone got there.
Dont worry I’ll avenge you, Ive 11 alts that hasnt done that part yet, I might as well also take part in it with my pew pew ranger, which would most likely result in them not even getting a single hit :P

Give me a shout or pigeon (in-game mail :P) if you’d rather like to join a lil smaller guild focused more on PvE and PvP
Can any Anet employee that goes through the forums answer me this?
Is PvP and WvW getting the short straw compared to PvE?
(I already know he answer, just want to hear what excuse you guys can come up with)EVERYONE thinks their favorite game mode is getting the short end of the stick. It the “grass is greener” type issue. Truth is, there is no short end of the stick, it’s a really short stick for everyone.
I agree. I have read posts From people who PvE that say that PvE is getting the short end of the stick. Same applies to the other two areas.
Agem, hasn’t PvE gotten 2 new maps, a ton of LS content and world bosses?
So any statement of “PvE is getting the short end” is invalid.
All I want and what basicly is needed from Anet is to implement an way to stop 4v5 of all kinds and stop hackers from ruining WvW
And when are we getting our Bunny ears?!
I can’t wait to hear OP’s great idea on how to deal with someone that decided to leave a match or had to leave the PC, thus seeming afk.
There are several discussions busy atm on what Anet can do to stop 4v5, for example if a player just leaves an ranked and unranked match then they should get penalized, like the dishonor stystem but something that actually exists, if they just leave by clicking the leave button then they should not be alowed to join a new one for an hour or more, if they just had to suddenly leave their pc and “thus seem afk” then they will be kicked out by the system but, only problem is what to do with people who intentionally just sit on the map and shout random comments at their team, only salution may be to kick them out if the whole team reports the person then penilized him like unable to play for 24 hours or they can implement an system similar to the AFK one but this would just check that if the person is not bunkering a point , have not attacked someone and have not moved a certain distance they should be warned and 10 seconds later kicked and then penilized.

And these are just the new ones.
You know, some things are out of ANet’s hands.
But that’s none of my business.
Nothing is out of their hands, they are the molders of their own world thus they can change anything if they would like to do so, even maybe making it impossible for people to hack the system. Like if the program’s code has been changed in anyway then the game wont launch.
On topic, you maybe forgot the 3 huge sPvP revamps the game has had? Also Guild Wars as a franchise has always been PvE-centric with huge lore. PvP in this game, as in every other MMO is just to keep community entertained while they produce more content. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Yeah ofc they should focus more on PvE 3/7 (PvP 2/7 and WvW 2/7) but Id expect from them to atleast fix one of the game modes that they intend to advertise with refering to tournaments. Now ofc the AFKers wont effect the tournaments directly, but will indirectly by giving the community and the world a negative opinion on PvP thus making PvP less popular and then they can have less people attending the tournaments which would mean less advertisement for gw2/Anet/NCSoft.
Also I never had a bubble for you to pop.
If they didn’t, why would they release a completely new mode (and map) for one and a completely new map (including new systems) for the other?
YaY 2 whole new maps you say?
Oh well maybe they should fix PvP problems first, you know, the ones that are driving players out of PvP like AFKers and also maybe do something about the players exploiting hacking in WvW.
As to why they focus less on that: Because the majority of the playerbase are PvE:ers and it is PvE that generates the most amount of money.
It really is as simple as that.
The game is devided into 3 parts; PvP, WvW and PvE and I would expect them to actually give a few kittens about PvP and WvW.
O-O That skin looks sooo good >_<
Can any Anet employee that goes through the forums answer me this?
Is PvP and WvW getting the short straw compared to PvE?
(I already know he answer, just want to hear what excuse you guys can come up with)
Well personally Im semi-mad at the half-baked player that just decides to go afk for whatever messed up reason but, Im more mad at Anet because they should’ve seen this coming and/ or should know about this considering that Anet employees actually play their own game.
So is the fact true that Anet just leaves PvP for long periods of time and hopes for the best?
heres how to fix it and many other queuing problems – make 2 queues
Official Maps
Unofficial Maps/you’re welcome
There is a fear to join ranked queue?
Well actually it would be good if this was an valid statement for then we will get less people who dont know what they are doing and more that do.
…. So you made an legendary without even knowing what it does….
Indeed unless I was drunk/high or just crazy but I saw a few days ago when looking at my PvP build’s stats then took my armor off I went from around 2600 to 1600 armor
What about the matches where people afk? Its technically to the system still 5v5 but logically to us 4v5.
For one, you must at all times have a full set of armor and 2 sets of weapons on for starters or you cant join.
Please Anet, Please for the love of all that is kitten in this world.
Do something about these people in matches who throws our games away because they suddenly dont feel like playing anymore, like the trollers who dont wear any armor or the people who just afks and tells everyone how bad they are because the afker has phycological problems.
I would help but this just sounds like a guy going from game to game and telling people how the game is broken, ecpesially stating that mesmer clones are annoying, ok lets say we take them away, the already squishy class will have 70% less suvivability.
The ranger pet is an iconic feature across most games with the class ranger and unless you spec in them then they can mostly just do minor damage and also immo, condi and cc you.
Necro minions are indeed annoying but if you just kill them all then theirs no problem.
What about cc abilities?- Have a stability/ condi removal in your build and also we already had a thread awhile ago that complained about the moa transmorph and we all agreed that it isnt that strong, in the contrary, you can just dodge the skill or even interrupt the mezmer or if your turned into a moa then you have an extra evasion ability.
But if you’re like me then you’ll just dash to the mezmer and start pecking them.
So bottomline
-have an condi removal
-stability ability
-learn the moa’s abilities – https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Polymorph_Moa
Moa notes:
-Causes the Morphed effect.
-Can be dodged and blocked.
-A successful cast will end any forms in use by an enemy such as Tornado or Lich Form, and destroy all necromancer minions.
-You can practice the morphed skill set in the Heart of the Mists, the Mesmer training —NPC will cast it on you in battle.
-In sPvP, it will not interrupt an enemy’s finisher.
-The target will change form and their finisher animation will disappear, but the finishing skill itself will not be interrupted.
-Polymorph Moa can make certain NPC enemies much more dangerous, especially those of elite or higher rank, by giving them a set of skills with much shorter recharges and greater damage coefficients than their own, which greatly increases their damage.
“Foes tell me “OP downstate,BS downstate getting nerfed soon,etc” when I am condi necro and didn’t trait for it…Zerkers take more damage while stomping you can if you want but it all depends on specs/classes, downstate damage is not the only stomp stopper cc,teleport etc can be as well."
In my time playing the game, Ive never, ever heard of people saying that downstate is “OP”, “BS” or “getting nerfed soon”. This just sounds like a issue that can be improved by those people complaining about downstate to l2p. It really isnt that hard and you should anyway have a ability to stomp people, whether it is stability, stealth or blindness also having knowledge of the abilities of most of the classes.

They could always just remove the function to switch teams and auto-assign players to teams that the system believes the best/balanced teams would be
I appreciate many of your responses despite NOT knowing what you are all talking about but nevertheless I appreciate you took the time to write.
Sooooo you with your luck of knowledge came here and thought you could do what exactly by complaining about necros, ranger’s pets and mesmers?
I mean really what about hambows? Being able to knock people around, condi ranger bunkers who’re not the easiest to kill or why not just complain about how you think the thief’s stealth mechanic is broken?
Refering to the team paring system, then yes this map, actually pvp is not fun at all. I mean really, getting a match of 5 solo players against 1-5 (if not 5 then 1 or 2 solos) thats in a party, you just get rek’ed at mid time of the match. They may not be the best party but they have the advantage of knowing how each of them plays till a certen exctent and a 50% that they use a VoIP so they can then make choices in the battles where the other team can’t. Like the other day I was litterly in a 5 solo vs full party were I personally knew the other team (full party) becuase they are well known competitive players on my server, which started winning us when we were around 200 points each because they could communicate and adjust to how we played.
And if WvW is not your ideal past time then send me an mail in-game and I’ll be able to make contact with you later about my PvE & PvP guild, cya :P
Dont mind this “gaming enthusiast” clown, sounds like he’s just trying to maybe troll some people into joining this crucifixion of mezmers and rangers which seems to be his focus points as well as if he thinks that moa transmorph is “the most overpowered skill in the game” then he hasn’t played alot. This actually just sounds like the OP is looking for other things to blame than rather looking at himself. Seeing that there are people that believe that the problem never lies with themselves but in others.
Also depending on where you are, if you want an American server then look at the posts above but if you want an European server then Id suggest like Grimwar said, a low tier server for example Whiteside Ridge, and if you want an EU (Europe) server and join WSR (Whiteside Ridge) then give me a shout if you’d like to join my guild
Wouldve liked to invite you but unfortunately Im on a EU server
This does indeed sound interresting, I’ll bump you tonight :P
Id like to talk more with you maybe tonight if you’re on about a guild that Im starting because it sounds like you might just be what Im seaching for as well :P
I’ll be your friend :P
Im more of an veteran and wouldve really liked to help you but unfortunalty Im +2 GM so it would be quite hard with an 10 hour difference >_<
Im on a EU server but I hope you the best of luck
To add, Im not just searching for good PvPers here but normal or not so good can also join and we’ll like to help you become better if you’d allow us to teach you also, check the link to make sure its a guild you’ll like ->

Yeah I tried to contact you last night but it seems you were very busy in wayfarers hills :P anyway,
I would love to have you in my guild as well :P Its a lil small atm but Im steadily getting nice and experionced people rather than just filling it up to 300 members >_< but I believe in the end it’ll pay of much more to have a few good, nice people (like one of those close-nit-family guilds) than one of those that you dont even know about the 143th person or one of those where the members just enter and leave the whole time.

Hia I am in EU and Im in need of an officer or more to help me create a new guild (main focus is PvE and PvP). Currently Im striving for the guild to be a average size guild, not to big and not to small; well big enough to do guild missions without problems, also I am aiming to create an environment where people are 1. Friendly and 2. Likes to really progress in the game.
Ive already made an thread of what I’d like to do with the guild->
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/community/lookingfor/New-Guild-1
If you’d like to help me make an guild like stated above then please contact me: Centurion.7296
And if you don’t want to be an officer but would like to be in such a guild then please contact me as well. Also if your a lil on the new side then I would really not mind helping from jps to dungeons/ WvW or PvP, anything really.

Hia all, Im on EU; Whiteside Ridge, +12500AP, almost rank 80 in PvP, around rank +300 in WvW, 11 chars and Ive started a new guild because in my old guild it lacked people who really wanted to progress in the game but, what I will strive is that this new guild has an majority of players who:
1. Doesn’t mind to learn a few tricks and tips from time to time
2. Have fun while you do it
3. Being close-ish like the anime if anyone has watched past season 2: Fairy Tail, where most wouldn’t mind helping one another to progress in the game
4. Ultimately being good in most or specific areas in the game and at least know how most of it works
5. A place where if you wanted a party for PvP then most the members are fairly good or even pro, same with WvW and PvE, making an quick dungeon party or even an organized daily one. But I wont force people to do for example PvP/WvW/PvE/WvE.
Also I’ll encourage the use of TS but people can decide if they want to use it or not or just listen in.
Please contact me if you’d like to know more: Centurion.7296 and to make it clear, anyone can join but, you don’t need to be in the same server (we just wont be able to WvW), only thing is if you don’t mind the 5 points I made and would like to help me make such a guild come into reality which can stand the test of time.
But would it be best to use my skill points now that all chars has every ability or rather wait and let them be transformed into crafting mats when expantion hits?
