Guild Wars 2

Sreoom.3690:

I want loot as soon as I log into GW2…can we get that too?

That’s a great idea. More people would log in then.

Oak da Vite.9054:

I think it is fair to request from a player to level at least one character in PvE-content to level 80 (or at least 60) to get to know the game mechanics and the different aspects of PvE in this game.

Speaking of this game, it also has sPvP where players can also get to know the game mechanics. No PvE needed. Tomes of Knowledge help with leveling, but they aren’t a fair replacement for locking uplevels out of WvW. (How are uplevels supposed to obtain Tomes for badges?)

My only point is that if the goal is to increase PvP in WvW, it shouldn’t be done in a way that punishes players who have very little interest in PvE because then it has the effect of decreasing PvP in WvW.

Fort Aspenwood is making a push into Tier 2 to shake things up. Looking for a few more guilds interested in claiming the glory.

Oak da Vite.9054:

1. Do not allow lowlevels in WvW – they cannot even use all their skills and the upscaling of numbers doesn’t help, because they have white/green/blue armor and the least you should have is exotic armor.

No. Absolutely not. Yes, uplevels are really annoying to have next to you because they can be rallybots (level 80s can also be rallybots). Not allowing them though… man, I’d just rather tear my hair out if I, a PvP player, am forced into PvE to level. I absolutely hated in TESO that you gotta grind out 10 slow levels just to get to the PvP. It was so painful. Don’t make me have to grind out 80 levels in this game to do WvW.

It doesn’t seem like it was a “simple bug”.

Arcadio.6875:

At the very least, I would like to see the 3 borderlands maps be visually different.

I’d much rather they modify the BL maps by changing the structures. What has made those maps (and EB as well) stale is that the methods of sieging and defending have stagnated. Making changes to the objectives would mean people have to figure out new ways to siege and defend.

Quick! Transfer to the server with the highest PPT!

This isn’t the Devon Carter I’m looking for.

Devon Carter…. Devon Carver… man, that’s not confusing or anything. /sarcasm

Quint.3765:

i would transfer to HoD, if someone pay me the transfer there because i don’t have enough

Commander of JQ

No one should pay for this guy. He took gold and transferred to a different server. Probably hasn’t repaid HoD back either and has no intention of doing so. Been reported in-game for scamming.

Yes. We have Tyrion on soundboard too.

Wiseman,
You don’t have to be on FA to join NERF, only if you want to run in WvW with us sometime.

Ark Bladesteele.2943:

meanwhile, in PvE…

Bobblehead Laboratories EVERYWHERE
People with a Lute that have no idea how to use it EVERYWHERE

The gem store seems to be working quite well for them.

…meanwhile, WvW…

crickets

We had a bobblehead/lute party in WvW last night.

OMG TY ANET! Three of us already bought it. Trololo!

Maybe it deserves to be made fun of.

It’s some lag that occurs and the game gets confused. Rezz’ed a garri lord outside the circle before the cap and the cap happened anyway.

Just use a soundboard of sacrx and you’re all set.

That’s an interesting idea. They should do that more for lower tier servers though. I can picture JQ, TC, and BG all competing to be the losing server each week.

thaoo,

FA had a few guilds leave prior to season 1. Same thing happened pre-season 2.

You can at least delete all characters on a new account and transfer for free in order to find the right server. Variability is going to be based on how close the glicko rating is to servers across tiers. The diff between rank 13 and 14 is pretty wide so you may have to go with either a server above rank 13 or below rank 14. Another option is to consider an EU server since their rating differences across ranks tends to be smaller.

Shizlam.4310:

Oh shut up. … Stop trying to sugarcoat this mess, stop trying to be a “nice good guy”,

2. Were we supposed to magically know that individual used to work at ANet? The correct answer is no. And nor do we care. Using that little known fact to bolster your “argument” was pointless.

You’re right. Being nice doesn’t need an “argument”. Mean behavior should always be called out and I acknowledge that you’re not intending to condone the mean responses. Players are rightly stressed and frustrated by the bugs with the rewards. Take it out on Anet, not on other posters trying to be nice.

thaooo.5320:

The PPT stress some other tiers suffer from is not an issue in T2.

Unless there’s a WvWvW tournament coming up. Then T2 ramps up into hardcore PPT mode, except for FA. :p

Edit: Ah, yea they would lose money on server transfers, but they’d probably convert it to transfers between alliances. I don’t see how AvAvA would not get stale either. How does EU servers keep rating closer between tiers than NA?

DeadlySynz,
Only a GvG mode, like having guild halls where guilds can have their own private battles, would really make sense. We already have the Obsidian Sanctum for that “unpopulated map” and griefers come sometimes and interfere. There’s also complaints between guilds sometimes when they think there are “adds” turning 15v15 into 17v15 for an unfair advantage. A GvG mode would allow guilds to prevent those sorts of things.

BTW, I can’t imagine how Anet loses money to server transfers.

Quick Mouse.7635:

Here’s the thing: several serious wvw guilds quit/collapsed due to problems mentioned in other posts.

I made posts pre-season on the unofficial forum that GvG guilds stacking onto a single tier was unhealthy for the GvG scene. Only a GvG game mode can provide a solution to what GvG guilds are looking for, not stacking into a single tier. In the meantime, there’s a GvG scene growing in T3 while the one in T2 is stagnating. If you want access to it, you gotta transfer.

atheria.2837:

I moved from FA – I’d never move back – it was horrid, horrid, horrid.
There was community on HoD that FA could never have

Atheria never got involved in the FA community. Practically every post by this person includes some mention of how much they hate FA. Very toxic person.

Chris.3290:

FA has had a bad track record when it comes to warchests and using them.

Which is why 1) no fully paid transfers and 2) there is no expectation that any of the guilds will stay or not disband. All guilds eventually disband or move on. Some of that happened even during the season and not only on FA. What matters more is the immediate future, not what could’ve/would’ve/should’ve happened long-term.

ArenaNet hosed everyone with the repeated increase of the server caps in T1. Increasing population limits for servers that were already FULL, while others were not; was just a slap in the face to so many others.

And free transfers.

The rating adjusts way too slowly, agreed. Whatever they do, it should probably be done pre-season as well.

So you didn’t read the INC GL’s post in the match-up thread; just heard it second-hand from your GL. HoD has only itself to blame for losing guilds that want to go to T2.

The reasons are valid. Megaserver removes the reason for total population-based pricing. Servers in the same WvWvW tier should have the same price, with prices updating weekly at reset.

atheria.2837:

Money isn’t what wins seasons – hard work and dedication do.

Free bandwagon stacking wins seasons.

And by the way, FA did not buy INC. INC approached FA about transferring. Talk to the INC GL on your own or read the post he made on the match-up thread.

I found your name on the FA forums. You didn’t participate nor request access into the private section. You go on and on about server community yet, as far as what anyone can tell, you never got involved in FA’s community. No one remembers you being on FA. I’m not saying you were not on FA, only saying that you didn’t make a very good effort to join the community, let alone the WvWvW community.

It’s been how many weeks and you had “no idea” about TUNE? If you really were familiar with the FA community like you claim, you would’ve known about TUNE.

atheria.2837:

Those of us on the honest server that from my knowledge wouldn’t buy a guild

Your server got free transfers.

There’s really nothing more toxic than continuously posting here accusations about your former server across multiple threads. You hate FA. We get it.

Edit: you never posted on the FA forums, never requested access to get more involved in the FA community. You are in an extremely poor position to stand in judgement. Get out in the world more. Every server has its trolls.

bob.8632:

Wherever this guy plays at:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/Tournament-pricing-ended-May-30th/first
So the QQ will stop about transfers.

LOL. Raise a big stink and it gets attention from Anet. My goal was met. Thanks for obliging and helping to spread the word.

Gearbox.2748:

if real world castles where build like wvw- no one would have spend the effort building them-

Best commentary on WvW structures ever.

Wish they would change transfer prices to be based on WvWvW rank/tier and updated weekly. Cuz, yea… megaserver.

OMG I see it now. Mesmer zerg. Why let the MM necros have all the fun?

If you’re looking for a WvW hardcore guild and you are EU, you probably want to stick to an EU server unless you are able to play in a different timzone like NA, OCX, or SEA. NA servers don’t really have EU timezone hardcore guilds that GvG.

etrigan.4213:

Of all the problems that WvW has…someone posts/complains about Mesmer pulls?

Cuz being pulled off of AC by a mesmer is OP. Anywhere else, it’s ok.

Fort Aspenwood is not a tournament-only server. The core community remains committed to WvWvW. Our OCX and SEA players are turning out to be strong against T3 opponents in this post-season and they’re having a lot of fun.

Is this thread for real? It reminds me of all the calls for nerfs on engineer CC in PvP. I’d rather have the design of the walls fixed so that defending from them is viable than change this mesmer skill. You should have to use catapults, trebs, and ac to deal with defenders on a wall and class skills for defenders standing on the edges.

Tsyras.5274:

I am P/P with Grenades/Tool Kit/Elixir S. I run mostly Rabid with some Dire.

I probably could have done better at avoiding his CnD attempts, but I was so worried about long row of conditions on me. I felt like a Necro had just used their Signet of Spite on me and then some.

I have been running a similar build. 30/0/20/20/0 or 30/0/10/20/10. P/P with Healing Turret/Grenades/Toolkit/Elixir S. As others have said, try replacing Toolkit with EG for those fights so you have that condi-cleanse from Super Elixir + light field. If you need the block, switch to P/S. I’ll also use Backpack Regen + Prot Injection instead of Invigorating Speed.

Lemme help you then. Wikipedia is a good place to start.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_market
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unfair_competition

Time to start a new thread. The WvWvW rank-based prices were a good idea since the bulk of transfers come from the WvWvW population, just not when they persisted for 9 weeks and didn’t reflect current rank.

LOL. Your point wasn’t missed. It was irrelevant.

Latinkuro.9420:

oh come on the ones affected should be the ones waiting.
the rest of us that did get the chest should not have to be punished.

Reports from these forums indicate that players have gotten a chest with the wrong number of tickets. How do you propose that part be fixed without Anet disabling the spending of the tickets?

Thanks for the bumps!

Hamster.4861:

Where do you want to move to chaba? are RET or ONE coming back?

RET disbanded and I hear that the remains merged into TG on Maguuma. Dunno what ONE is up to.

echo.2053:

Chaba.5410:

It’s about the tournament pricing not ending at the end of the tournament, May 30th, like Anet said, and the unfair effect is has on servers post-season.

You claim that your at disadvantage when it comes to transfers, yet you can single handily stomp any combination of silver league servers minus hod. How is it not fair that you should have a higher price?

All servers with a lower rank and higher transfer price are at a disadvantage when competing for transfers post season due to tournament pricing still being in place.

Since you named HoD as a server FA is unable to stomp “single handily”, they make a perfect example. HoD has a transfer price of 1000 gems while FA costs more than double that to transfer to. And it’s the same situation for a few servers lower in rank to FA, SBI if I recall correctly. SBI can single-handedly stomp servers lower in rank to itself too. Transfers to SBI are discouraged because HoD only costs 1000 gems to transfer to. Are you trying to say that’s fair? It seems at this point that you are just arguing for the sake of arguing.

BTW, there is no gold, silver, bronze league anymore. The tournament is over.

Jeknar.6184:

echo.2053:

You have a better way to put an end to bandwagonning, since they clearly won’t stop this season bs?

Making the costs adjust everytime a server change ranks would be a start… Then the prices should be in accord with the entire ladder and not separated by leagues.

Yes, that would be a start. Previous pricing was scaled based on total server population, but really it is the WvWvW population that has reason to transfer servers, especially now with megaservers.

Anet still needs to end the tournament pricing when they said they would and provide some sort of compensation for servers stuck in this predicament of being more expensive than a higher ranked server.

echo.2053:

which servers would have provided FA a relatively close match up that would be down to the wire at the end?

Again, that’s not what this thread is about. It’s about the tournament pricing not ending at the end of the tournament, May 30th, like Anet said, and the unfair effect is has on servers post-season.
