Unfortunately, this is something that they have been trying to fix since the beginning of the game. You have to win 1000 games in order to start receiving credit from tournaments.
That means there will be no 1200/1750 rank point reward for winning tournaments, you are now better off doing hot joins. If you transfer back to Europe, you will still receive rewards like normal.

Account authentication is in America, the actual servers are in frankfurt.
They were put in dailies because of the fact that there’s no reason to play them other than the dailies.
I’m not asking to remove them from the Dailies.
I’m asking to let us have a choice which mini-game to play!
If they made it for all activities, people would float to the easiest one; say if no one else liked keg brawl then you’ll never see anyone play it anymore.
Things like this are designed as the game is being made, count yourself as never seeing this feature.

Longest I’ve ever waited for a match was about 10 minutes.
It all depends on on our ranking, the worse you are as a player the queues are near instant. It also depends if you are doing solo queue over team queues, team queues are significantly faster.
Also queues are not server based, they are region based. So being on tarnished coast does not make a difference.
We were told that rank rewards would be increased due to glory being no longer attainable. But like last time, they made the rank rewards higher before the patch because they have an ability to adjust it without a patch. But as far as I can see, there hasn’t been any official communication other than its a weekend glory boost.
Is the 1200 rank per solo queue win and 1750 team arena win part of the patch coming on the 18th or is this just a weekend bonus?
In other games I actually have my name displayed above my head even though it’s not really needed… I kinda miss this feature.
There’s no happy median here. If they nerf stealth in all modes, people will complain that PvE is being affected for PvP.
Now if they nerf things only in PvP, people complain that it should be the same in all modes to avoid confusion >.<
So here’s the question here, is it really worth nerfing all modes for someone who barely plays structured PVP at all?
What’s the difference between push and pull capture the flag?
Culturally speaking, women are much more acceptable half naked than men are. There’s also that problem with people who get offended by their own masculinity by seeing other men exposed or wearing that armor itself. It just causes more problems than you think.
Its the exact same reason why you see far more naked women than men in mature content… its just how our culture works.
“We’ll be setting prices for world transfers based on world rating rather than population.”
Unless I’m misreading this… prices have nothing to do with population. But okay. xDThank you so much, Mad Queen Malafide! I will definitely look into that, it sounds perfect!
Except that rating is almost directly proportional to population. There’s a reason they call it coverage wars.
Anvil Rock is one of the worst WvWvW realms and it has a huge sPvP and PvE population.
Some servers have population with no interest in WvWvW.
My only guess is bandwidth issues itself, when you delete an e-mail it deletes it off the servers and thus saving space. It may only be 40kb in size but it all adds up when you have millions of players.
What most likely happened was you lagged in the open world and eventually DC’ed and the game brought you back to the last known spot that you were at before you lagged.
It’s called rubberbanding, happened quite a bit in the original Guild Wars.
Spectator is a great feature if you know how to use it, but in its current state a lot of people are unaware that you can check someones build and gear with it. No where in the game it mentions how to do so, you actually have to click the small equipment icon on their unitframe to see it.
I think there should be an ingame hint that displays when the first time you enter in spectator mode. Also, it would be great that if you were to press H you would see the gear of the current spectator.
I think spectator mode should be more useful so that way people can actually learn off each other rather than playing not so good builds.
Before the game was released we were told that server transfers would be free, but too much concern came with WvWvW that they had to implement guesting instead.
Oh, I thought you could just buy all of the mats required. Thanks for clearing that up. I had a chest drop once, contains one piece of Ascended gear but with the “wrong” stats… what do I do with that? Can’t trade it it seems.
You can sell it tot he vendor for 1g; thats pretty much all you can do.
If you need a tablet that can game, your best bet is going with the surface pro itself. The only problem with tablets is the game is not designed from them at all. Unfortunately you cannot use the touchscreen to move the camera.
Usually hairstyles are removed for clipping issues. I can see how that hair could cause problems on heavy armor.
This game has far less bots than any other game I played. I can assure you they get banned eventually.
When a game starts losing money, thats when they change. If the current system they have is getting them money, why would you change it. Think of it from their perspective; such a small amount of people actually come to forums itself.
You’re more likely to register on a forum to complain about a game than you are to register for leaving good feedback.
Then why are you still here? If you keep complaining about how bad the content is distributed, with the game being free whats your purpose for complaining? They’re not going to change their 2 week release schedule. Unless the entire community decides to go back to 1 month living story schedules, which I doubt that will happen.
If you really want to change the game, then simply quit. They will then have numbers to go off of in meetings at work to really change how the games content is distributed. But if they are getting more and more players every month and a high concurrency rate, then why change?
Ah, the age-old “if you’re critical of the game, then why are you still playing?” card. It sure didn’t take you long to play that gem, did it?
Makes sense right? If you hate the game so much, why play it?
Looks like whatever they’re doing is working!
As long as you continue to play, nothing is going to change. It’s when people start quitting, that’s when things change. See World of Warcraft.
I’ve spent over $1000 in gem purchases alone, so keep up the good work.
I can’t think of how that helps your case at all. You’ve ALLEGEDLY paid them $1000 to prove some miraculous point. (Yeah, we all believe you.) All that’s done is prove to me you’re happy to pay for unfinished temporary content that hinders you.
I’ll be very happy to charge you full price for half a hair cut.
I wasn’t forced to pay them, I got exactly what I paid for; nothing more. I didn’t simply shell out $1000 to prove a point.

You can’t buy gold with gems and get ascended armor, you actually have to participate in world events and earn dragonite ore which is time gated. Granted buying gold makes it easier to do, but you can’t just buy ascended armor with cash.. you have to do events.
Refer to http://dulfy.net/2013/12/12/gw2-ascended-armor-crafting-guide/
You can tally the total mats and calculate the amount of gold you need.
Having content release every 2 weeks even with game breaking bugs are worth the experience due to the fact you fix them fairly quickly.
I disagree. I’d rather have highly polished content released less often than more buggy content released more often.
It’s impossible for any QA team to catch all bugs within a short time window.
Then perhaps the release schedule is too frantic? It saddens me that “when it’s ready” became “when it’s due”.
Every 2 weeks its always exciting to see what is new in Guild Wars 2, as opposed to other games where there is a public test realm and there’s nothing exciting at all because you know whats happening.
That’s your opinion, and you’re entitled to it. But there are those of us who disagree with your opinion. And we’re not wrong to do so.

Congratulations?

Admit it, you forgot to loot Scarlet's chest
in Battle for Lion’s Arch - Aftermath
Posted by: Chase.8415
It’s a big giant chest followed by a Zerg of everyone running to the center to loot it. How more obvious does it need to be? Should ArenaNet install store lights and a giant arrow?
Sorry you missed out on it but I just don’t see how anyone could miss it.
There’s going to be a break period with no content or patches, so if you have any doubts about this game you’ll probably end up playing ESO, although I will state that ESO is most likely not even worth your time.

I guess it’s one of those things where you have to be gay to understand, like myself.
Do notice that people here didn’t criticize them for having a homosexual relationship. For my part the critique has always been about writing. It’s you who is taking it as lesbian relationship criticism.
Just give it time over the weekend and someone will complain about it. The relationship isn’t that apparent (up until now)
Well I guess it can’t be helped if people see it that way, since it was pretty easy to miss on a lot of conversations.
They actually DO have meaningful conversations in these last 2 patches, talking to each other as regular people, expressing interest for each others past, revelations of what it means to be with one another, how they wanna better themselves as people (actual quote) It’s not just sexual. I always stick around NPC-s to listen , and to me, there definitely is a progression in their relationship.
having a handful of conversations =/= relationship. And the conversions hardly explore emotional depth & are completely irrelevant to the story. it’s mostly mush. Whereas Koss & Melloni’s struggle literally informed what you did next & why & impacted them in different ways. Like I said, Koss & Melonni had a real romance complete with opposing story archs, struggle & actual exploration of some of the complexities of feelings. Ka&Ma is cute banter & token mushy exposition.
Mhenlo & Cynn were pretty funny. I loved how they presented the story just through idle animations of the henchies in the towns in EotN. & they didn’t shove it in your face. They had the proper place for them.
Say what you want, but people will always find something to complain
remember that applies to your complaints too.
I guess it’s one of those things where you have to be gay to understand, like myself.
Nah, there is a thread by a another gay gamer that recognized the poor quality of this “relationship”. If anything you should be appalled by the shoddy quality. What do you think of the Logan/Jenna relationship?
Thats what I am stating here, it’s poor because if they made it anything decent like an actual romance people would start sharpening their pitchforks stating ArenaNet is trying to push a political agenda for homosexuality. Instead ArenaNet did the best they could in regards to this relationship, lesbians and cheap romance with a kiss.
I can’t really complain about the quality of it because at least ArenaNet had the guts to make something related to homosexuality a primary part of a story rather than some small section of the game with references.
It’s just other people complaining about the quality of it, there’s a reason for it. You can’t easily make a gay romance love story without making a lot of people angry. As much as I hate to say it there’s still a lot of hate.

Of course the relationship was forced, they can’t go much into details with romance in a same sex relationship. Say what you want, but people will always find something to complain, like they were trying to push some agenda by showing love in a same sex relationship rather than something sexual.
I guarantee you that if Marjory and Kasmeer were men this kiss would have been an outrage. If you blame the writing, blame the people themselves, have you ever seen a male-male relationship in a video game as a primary focus? I haven’t, and there’s a reason for that unfortunately.

Right now it’s not possible to obtain due to the fact paid tournaments were removed; we are not exactly sure if they will ever come back but probably during the next PvP update where they add ladders it might be returning or another set of new titles will be introduced.
If you spec for them specifically they are VERY strong in spvp, #DruidBuild
6k spirit hammer hits
Maybe in hot joins, but never in tournament PvP.
It be great if you left a comment on how this picture is strange or something about sleeping on the job… Because I am not making a connection.
My answer got capped out at 500, but my actual spending of this game (according to quicken) in one year is closer to $1200
It has to do with botting? lol… Wow has alot more auctions a day probably than this game and they dont have the trading limit. Regardless it wouldn’t even stop bots? It just means bots will change the times at which they sell items(I.e. 10 items a minute). It will just slow them down a little.
WoW also allows botting.
You may not believe this, but it is nearly impossible to get banned in that game. As long as you pay your subscription you can do whatever you want.
Yup, in case of Guild Wars they don’t like bots because it can destroy economy and theoretically cause any player who bots to get all items in gemstore free because they have endless amount of gold.
That’s why there is no suspension on botting, it’s first offense permanent ban where as world of warcraft’s is a 3 day suspension. You can literally od BG’s in wow and notice 3-4 people are traveling the exact same path and they do nothing about it.
Check out https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/releases/ for details of previous releases.
NCsoFT Shares have literally gone over double since GW2 was released, I own some and it hasn’t negatively impacted me in any way.
Botting deserves a ban and should be punished even harder in my opinion. Something like an IP ban
IP bans are so easy to bypass, you can literally google how to get passed one. Worse yet, IP addresses change often and it’s possible for a perfectly legitimate customer to get the same IP address someone else was banned from.
The worse ban they can do is a MAC address ban and even that can be solved with a simple google search.
Zodiac armor looks very similar to the chronomancer from guild wars utopia that’s why I wear my headgear.
Main problem with including many sub forums is the fact of popularity. The whole purpose of them removing is to condense information into the General Discussion forum.
Also there is a PvP forum, so mostly anything in here is strictly PvE, and if its not its moved to the appropriate subforum by the moderators.
All of the PvP levels, bank and wallet is account bound and not deleted even who you move to another server. Also, transfers were never sold in the cash shop so I think you are mistaken. To perform a paid transfer, you go to the server list and click transfer.
Keep in mind that you can guest on a server for free, the only thing you cannot do is do WvWvW with your friends Until you pay for a transfer.
The downloader supports continued downloading. This means if you were to end it and restart it, it picks up where It left off at.
The only difference is, instead of showing the previous progress it starts the loading bar over again.
In regards to your download speed, it must be your ISP or your machine. When I get patches in guild wars 2 I average around 3.4 megabytes a second
The only ele I see are pretty much tanks, like their sole purpose is to kite a Zara training them in attempt to distract the enemy while your team kills the rest.
That’s pretty much what I do with my chests now, I just flat out destroy them.
Super sampling is really hard to notice on high resolution computers, especially ones above 2550×1440. I don’t use it for this reason, all it does it reduce frame rate
I have the i7 4770K and GTX 760 and run 2550×1440 supersampling in WvWvW. The worst framerate I get is around 17 during ridiculous battles, but if I cared enough I could reduce model limit. In normal zergs its about 40fps
I am finding Champion Magus really hard to achieve.
The leveling curves of the game is designed to be even at every level, so that way you can feel like you’re making the same progress as you would in the previous level. Given how fast it is to level in this game, they couldn’t just add 10 levels unless they break their original intent with making all levels the same curve in terms of time.
So basically, unless they break their manifesto even more, were not going to see more levels.
I have the GTX 760 and run at 50-60FPS on max settings at 2550×1440, the big difference though is I have a i7-4770K.
You can always tell if you have a CPU or GPU problem by reducing the resolution of your game and if the frame rate is the same, you know its the CPU that is bottlenecking the operation.
