+1. Skyhammer shouldnt be in yolo queue system. If its so good that it can be in tournaments, why arent they using it for official tournaments (with prizes and such.)?
Im pretty sure NOBODY who really likes to pvp alot wants these overpowered cannons of doom in their games (or trebs.). You might first think it might add new tactics for the map but it doesnt, u just roll one of your face roll cc / knockback / fear builds and camp at the cannon.
problem with the current leveling is there is not much replayability. alot of us have already map completed 100%, maybe even twice or more. there is not much other experience after that. all the events u have done already multiple times feel old and grindy. idd there should be something that could make u instantly lvl 80. maybe it should require first 1 lvl 80 character who knows, maybe 100% map completion?
I don’t see it. The ONLY BiS gear you can craft is the weapon (so far). No one is being forced.
it would probably be helpful if you were more aware of what major things are being implemented and going on with the game.
sure you can niggle about the ops wording, but the bigger picture is that crafting is the only reliable way to get said “character progression” gear. basically having 1 path (no, not counting .0002% random drop rate) is the current issue. also, it would be foolish to think that the devs won’t eventually design harder content around improved gear, increased character performance, higher profession levels, stronger abilities… so there needs to be multiple methods to achieve this gear much sooner than later. not to mention the gear disparities that will occur in wvw over time when some players are decked out in full ascended and whipping the floor with newbies and those who sat around in exotics telling others that ascended was not needed.
If you can do current content with Masterwork Gear, your speculation about how anyone will NEED ascended to do future content doesn’t hold much merit. The ‘falling behind’ argument is only valid for low population WvW encounters. It’s nonsense for PVE, WvW zerg or sPvP.
Frankly, I laugh a bit when I see this ‘only one way to get gear’ argument. That’s just not an objective assessment. In fact, there is multiple ways to get ALL the ascended gear that’s currently in the game, if you consider that Legendary is an ascended weapon equivalent in terms of stats. The whole complaint by the OP is unfound and based on unsound premise.
Just remember it is not only about what u can do with this gear. Its similar like the moan for precursor and not having more reliable ways to obtain it. Only reliable way to get a precursor at the moment is trading post (for ascended its crafting.). And now that they are sooner or later adding multiple ways to get precursor, why cannot they do the same for ascended?
I’m buying trans crystals now the as ascended armors look like skritt…
Indeed. For me it seems like they havent spent too much time on this armor / weapons considering how much work u need to do for it. Everyone has their own taste so i guess this is something that we cannot argue. Worst thing i think is that so many people aim for this items that there soon wont be anything else but this armor set unless u transmute it with gems. (off-topic tho.)
Why are we being almost forced to craft in this game? Yeah u might one lucky ascended drop but it might still have the wrong stat combo in it. And now that ascended armors are coming (which require crafting too.), it starts to actually affect the gameplay with increased stats. I think none should be forced to craft to get the best items and there are ALOT of people who hate crafting from the bottoms of their hearts. Especially as a dedicated WvW player its really hard to acquire this gear (as i stated above no drop is not guaranteed way to get it.).
E: By forced crafting i mean its the only reliable way of getting it.
!!! im not heavy PvE player !!!
original first post here, deleted it by mistake because i dont know how to forums.*
True… But there needs to be other way then crafting for these items or increased drop rate in fractals of the mist. I can tell my experience in my 3k+ played hours i havent had a single item that was worth more than 15gold. And now i need to hope that i get 7+ items with random possibilities on stats as drops with really low chance.
i wouldnt consider 10v10 as the best solution since 15v15 and 20v20 are the most common gvg’s played by guilds. for smaller than that there is Spvp? rewards seem to be way too good for such tournament tho. how will the achievements really work? there must be thousands of guilds hunting just for the achie if there will be them. all this seems a little too… big.
4. There must be at least one thief, guardian, ranger, mesmer, necromancer, engineer, elementalist and warrior during the fight for each guild.
not every guild group needs all of these classes. seems like really unnecessary rule.
Good luck sfr. I hope you beat so called “Vizunah Spirit” this time.
Lol’d at this QQ for vizunah. its been 1 year, we all know they got dedicated players without any real-life / night time players / just alot of free time. Canadians or not they have alot night coverage and arguing about it wont make it go away
Thanks for the IRON + SLAY + WBC group on MSBL tonight for the constant action and battle against odds. Especially to IRON for showing us the famous NA-playstyle. Props to you for being able to organise that many people at once.
Do not know if you are being sarcastic or not
The 8 slay members that ran with us last night were until yesterday Iron members . Slays guild leader is an old Iron Player .When we were on sor slay merged with us about 20 Portuguese players and came with us to gh . They decided to reform slay and we have been helping them out getting back on their feet .
As for numbers we run tagless in our own privite ts and try to run only as Iron which last night was 23+8 slay/iron . Any more than that is not our fault .
sorry but i think we already know u had over 40 guys in your teamspeak :P maybe 50ish u were running?
yeah i’ve had this same bug too. it randomly happens every now and then. it sounds like small stone dropped in a well (or thats what i think it is). it will lower the games sound for a while and goes back up in 1-2 seconds.
so you got wiped by more organised / skilled zerg than you had? nerf everything so nobody dies or kills!!! pro tip : use dodge, manage your cooldowns, do proper movement.
this whole " who was more warriors wins" is a joke and not true. and use proper builds gear not some pve full berserker ones… i can tell whats wrong in some complaining people as i have fought their guilds.
Gotta say the hand holding between GD and dF today.. ridiculous.
Two big guilds perfectly capable doing stuff on their own. But no – gotta hold hand on EB fighting pug-zergs, with upscaled/pve-achievement-hunters. Thought guilds wanted challenge, that certainly isn’t.
your prime-time is literally DEAD! theres nobody to fight against. no guilds. only your 10-20 man pug zergs sitting in keeps shooting ac. stop crying and give us challange. EB is only place where u have numbers. and underworld doesnt help since they dont play wvw. probably the most boring match up that can ever happen, random pug fest so far
server pride… in short coverage. once you lose all your guilds that hold prime time and night/morning cappers i want to see your “server pride”. and GvG is atm only way to mak e competitive WvW. capping the same keep for 183478th time is not competitive.
fix for this crashing is to unlock the win32-bit memory lock. you can do it in cmd.exe (there might be even seperate programs for it) or do it manually from bios. you wont be having crashes due to low memory. just dont set the values too high for your pc. i see loads posts like this and im 90% sure its the case. i wont post guide how to do it but u can find it from google pretty easy. and remember this is not way to increase your memory, its only way to unlock more than 3.5gb memory.
use at your own risk this may or may not damage your hardware. and im pretty sure this wont be recommended by anet.
i would like to add one thing. dF never runs with pugs during prime time, we dont even run with tag on. its just randoms who happen to see us. plz go to spvp if u want to do gvg’s with low numbers its the game mode already made for you dream on.
small reminder : if u see us dF or Mya (or anyone really, atleast i hope so :p )and we are fighting against equal (or group that we are able to beat alone.) WE NEVER interfere then, i personally dont support mass blobbing especially during prime time. and i think most will agree with this too.
ofc blobs happen while taking keeps and upgraded stuff, its normal since nobody cannot take major objectives alone if it has whole zone defending it.
just a reminder for future.
does any1 else find it wierd that its only deso players posting here trying to get somekind of forum war off ? i think its all from the same guild too lol.
ANET FIX YOUR POTATO SERVERS PLEASE! WHY RELEASE LEAGUE IF UR SERVERS CANT HANDLE IT??? 30 second skill lag all the time, queues in every map. UNPLAYABLE!
spamming 1 since other skills wont work is that fun? is this your idea of “Epic 100vs100vs100 massive scale combat”?
sadly nobody was up for GvG this week. had some “equal” fights against RS and JS.
maybe less blobby in the next match ups, i dont know but i hope so :p
realy good fights today at piken border. tx for all the lootbags SFR and elona
Yeah good fights to bad we had to face 2 massive zone blobs but we never ran away. Hope we will see some guilds not holding hands with zone blobs next time:)
be realistic, We blob these days. you had massive blob too, only while defending major objectives tho when we striked with our zone blob ^^. just today we was better (jk):)
