Guild Wars 2

Astralporing.1957:

Generally it is supposed to work only on inscriptions that cannot be crafted normally (thus, it is surprising that celestial inscriptions can be salvaged. I’d have asssumed they couldn’t), and even then it’s not a 100% chance.

I don’t think we can get the inscriptions for celestial anymore. I thought those came with that winds living world update. I could be wrong though.

Newish feature so that we can make stuff that we don’t have recipes for.

Mainly useful for PvT, sentinal(though you can get these with guild commindations,) and celestial inscriptions.

How would they deny kills without logging out?

If it is some kind of exploit I would suggest sending the details to ArenaNet.

Last I knew, there was a third party program that made it impossible for you to even damage them while they were in downed state.

I use the wonderful downed state skill vengeance, but it isn’t good for anything else.

this sound like BS but today me and other guy downed a ranger and we stomped on him like 5-6 times and nothing happen, we also damage him and nothing either, lol he just just revived and used GS #3 i was like wtf, let give it the benefit of the doubt and say it was lag but if things like this are happening that is not fair. The ranger was from blackgate which i heard have lot of hackers and cheaters so i think that explain a lot

All servers have a lot of hackers and cheaters. I’ve seen the same from the other servers we have gone up against. The guild I’m in doesn’t condone hacking and cheating. I do like to keep up with information on what is out there so I can recognize what they are doing and report if warranted.

If the mod give you and advantage over other players, for example zoom unlock gives players an advantage since it allows them to see over walls in WvW where we would not normally, you will get banned.

I’ve been using the first combat mode since last year. Going to try the immersive version to see how I like it.

lordkrall.7241:

You would still kill them and get kill credit though.
If it was only to avoid the stomp-bonus they could simply press alt+F4 and deny the point.

They have to deal with map queue then.

I would bet that if they are using such a program, they probably use the zoom unlocker also. I don’t think ANet has stuff in place to deal with these things yet, they may be working on them but I don’t believe they have everything functional to detect such programs. If they get caught and banned, that would be great.

Could be skill lag though. You have to be patient with skill lag and stomps though. It will go through, just have to be patient with that. Until I figured that out, I used to spam the stomp. I have had pretty bad lag, so much so that I was rubber banding the spot I was downed in and when the spike landed, I was well out of the range of the spiker. Lag spike prevention is noticible though.

I use the wonderful downed state skill vengance, but it isn’t good for anything else.

Vengeance is not denying kills, unless you manage to defeat someone (and get lucky enough to rally from it).
In most cases you will still die if you use Vengance.

But they can’t stomp you and they loose the opportunity for point when they have bloodluse. That is the important part. Bloodlust kills add up. It may only be 1 point here, 1 point there, but they do add quite a bit to the score.

a t s e.9614:

I have 800 hours on my warrior and I know that there
Is a cooldown but when earthshaker gets evaded ,
You should lose your adrenaline . 7 sec CD it’s
Nothing for a ground target AoE stun that has a
85% crit chance with unspec foes trat . People that
defend the warrior probably can’t win with a balanced
Build without healing signet . Timing your heal is a
huge part in PvP and if you don’t have to do it ,
It because very easy compared to other classes .

Still not spamming which is what you first stated which was a misrepresentation of actual facts.

If you wish to be taken serious and have credibility, you should use actual facts instead of misrepresenting them.

He was right about the hammer , if your earthshaker miss
You still can spam it mindlessly until it hits something because
You dont lose your adrenaline . Thief is trash , i have both thief and warrior and the perma-stealth D\P trash
build is useless besides from trolling bad players that can’t
stop them from using HS through black powder . The
Problem with warrior right now it’s even terribl players can win
Pretty much like the spirit ranger 111 spam build

No you can’t spam earthshaker till you hit something if you miss the first time.

It is on cool down and you need to wait for 7.75 to 8 seconds for it to be available again. If you had a warrior, you would know this.

You should re-queue. Queue doesn’t really work right.

I have been in queue and knew someone was able to get into WvW when they queued well after.

Usually after I re-queue, it get in within about 5 minutes.

I like omegas. They are fun.

I would prefer the blood lust offer points per stomp, the previous version, and give up stats completely.

I enjoyed that part of the previous version the most.

Aerial Melodies.4938:

To be honest, everyone here isn’t giving T2 enough credit when it comes to real fights. Regardless of PPT, some of the best fights I can think of recently were against the likes of TC and MagSwag. After the snoozefest this week (AC vs AC – missed the memo), I’m looking forward to getting back into the open field and fighting! Let’s get ready to rumble, T2!

It isn’t the fights that we are complaining about. We know that you can field people during your prime. Your off hours can’t complete though which is why you are easy. We don’t have to stay up to cover our gaps like we do in T1 if we want to win the league, when we fight you guys.

No thanks, regen is fine.

Says the biased warrior, who doens’t want to loose his duel/zerg/pvp advantage. Same goes for poster above me. Stop your bias.

Seriously, as a person with 300+ hours on all profession, and no bias to any of them i can state with 100% confidance healing signet of overpowered. You don’t have to take my word for it. That skill + player skills makes warrior immune to everything but a perfect build + executed burst (and that will rarely happen even one dodge or block will already make the burst fail, wich means: warrior wins (by not dying).

People like you like to say a lot of stuff but that doesn’t mean you really know what you are actually talking about. You are just boasting and blowing a lot of hot air and there is no way I’m going to take the word from some body posting on these forums. No way in hell am I going to believe anything you say unless you have proof but since yours is all opinion, yours doesn’t matter either.

I would not mind seeing body blocking introduced. It is kind of silly trying to hold a choke and the other side can get right through. Only thing that actually blocks a choke is AOE and it can be passed through.

I don’t care to do dungeons and currently get the vast majority of emperical fragments from WvW camps and towers.

There is no way I would want to see the amount I get from these sources reduced because they are a small enough amount for me to get and is typically my biggest impediment to getting my ascended. I’m still 125 away from my warhorn and that is the last thing I need, I have ample of everything else. You have to tag that camp super or you don’t get any and it isn’t always easy to do that when I’m on(some people like to ninja them and I’m missing the ninja.) Then there is the need before greed and I don’t always get to greed on the tower champs either because they need me elsewhere.

If you don’t like having so much because you find it easy to get, just start deleting the stuff. Once I get a stack of 250 bloodstone bricks, I’ll stop keeping it. Set a limit for yourself and stop hoarding.

I do feel that all crafting stuff should have a general increase in stack size. Getting enough of the stuff to kit out one character takes more than what we can store and I feel that is where the storage limit should at least be raised.

I play music, surf. I may do a champ farm if I’m in the mood.

Yes, after how many pages of people posting the same pointless irrelevant arguments I finally got aggressive. Sue me.

And yes, I personally would be perfectly fine with stripping out WvW ranks. Would other people be happy about it? Some would, some wouldn’t. I have no idea where the divide would be. I’m not arguing for it. But that’s also irrelevant to this discussion. The main reason WvW players have an issue with ascended gear in the game mode is because some of the pieces can only be obtained from specific PvE content. Your ranks question is a different issue altogether, best suited for another thread.

Since their issue is with certain pieces being in PvE, then the problem isn’t ascended but the players that don’t want to do PvE to get that stuff.

That is entirely your problem if you do not wish to do the content that has the stuff that you would like.

There is no reason to penalize me for doing the content to get the gear just because you people don’t want to do PvE.

The thing is that from the beginning Anet has been saying that you don’t need to do things that you don’t enjoy to get all the good stuff. Play the game how you want and you will be able to get the same things as everyone else. The way ascended is implemented at the moment contradicts all of that and it wasn’t needed to begin with. Now we are stuck with something we didn’t want and that n one needed.

If they want to add in ways to get ascended other than the PvE you don’t like, I don’t mind that. However, not liking to do some PvE for ascended gear is not a good reason to remove ascended from WvW.

I would not hold my breath though. It has been stated that they would like you to do other stuff than just one aspect of the game so you may have to do some PvE to get some ascended gear because that is what they want.

Things change in how things are done and a decision was made to get players out of WvW into PvE to get some of the shinies and making you play aspects of the game that you may not enjoy. Only PvE required for ascended is fractals and typically you can get your back before you even have to do fractal level 10. Rest can be aquired through dailies and crafting. Yes there is some time gating but what we have implemented isn’t bad, really mild compared to other time gating systems.

I disagree with any suggestion that applys a debuff just because of X# of people occupy Y space.

No thanks, regen is fine.

I disagree with nerfing defensive siege. All of it except the killing stuff on the other side of the door. I agree that should be fixed like they did with catapults.

I don’t agree with everything in commander squad. Other options do need to be introduced. Not sure why the commander would need to see the players dots unless you are suggesting that players can’t see other players dots on the map which I disagree with. I also disagree with needing to see the traits of the players.

Map changes I disagree with. They just need to spread out everything. As they are now, boarder land maps have most of the stuff in the middle to middle south of the map. This stuff needs to be spread out.

Rest I don’t mind.

1)Player caps is the WRONG way to fix skill lag. I’d much rather see optimization which they have posted that they are looking at each skill on this issue. I also like the huge battles and skill lag isn’t that bad with 2 zergs fighting, usually it takes a third to make it laggy(sometimes it doesn’t take that third but 2 full map zergs can typically fight without a whole lot of skill lag.)

2)No thanks.

3)I don’t mind skill point cost, not like there is a whole lot to spend these on anyway. I like superior siege.

4)They are going to allow us to respec at the start of new seasons and that is fine with me.

5)I don’t mind laures. Not a whole lot to spend them on anyway once my character is kitted out.

6)Kind of hard to do when populations are going to be unequal, even if caps got lowered.

7)I don’t mind the suggestion but it needs to come along with making it impossible to contest the keep just because one player comes up and beats on the door. If they fix it so that it takes more than one person to contest the keep, then I would not mind seeing the wp contested for a whole fight. These have to come hand in hand, not by itself.

8)No thanks. If you can’t take the keep, you are doing it wrong.

9)I don’t mind the idea but that would also make it easy for siege griefers to make it difficult to deploy siege. They can also get a commander tag.

10)Loot for all is fine by me.

Dark Catalyst offered 11)No thanks. I don’t mind ascended stats in WvW.

Conncept.7638:

We didn’t even get him below 90%, this is not difficult content, it’s a freaking DPS check that requires you to jump occasionally. Either you have enough people and therefore the DPS to beat him, or you don’t and you cannot.

Yea, I’m really not a fan of the DPS check and would like to not see this in Shatter or Jormag if they get treatment.

gebrechen.5643:

Complaingate will always find a reason to complain.

Oooooo, JQQ thinks others complain more than them.

gidorah.4960:

lol as if there are no pve acheiv hunters on any other server but t1’s. its a problem because people recruited like crazy and got the supe rserver’s they wanted despite being warned it would be a problem. they dev’s gave the answer to your problem weeks ago it is simply no one’s fault but your own you chose to ignore it.

I’m not complaining about queue times, that isn’t my issue.

I’m going to say though, your argument is based upon the assumption that the servers recruited for times when we already had a queue. The servers actually recruited for the time zones when we didn’t have queues on all maps. You are actually misrepresenting what the actual facts are with recruitment.

People still came even though the time zone that they wanted to play was already going to have a queue.

I just wanted other interesting stuff to happen during the fight, like when it stomps it’s foot and sends up a wave. That kind of stuff should have been there from the start.

The problem with the previous Teq is you could just stand in one spot(never ever move if you had stability) and be successful in starter gear. You only needed some kind of condition remover and and bow and you were set. It never changed the direction it was attacking, never mind the blob trying to kill it was off to the side, it keep on attacking straight forward. It had blinders on.

Currently though, the only reason I don’t do Teq is because I would always hit overflow and there were not enough people to do the event. I don’t care anymore so I don’t bother. Probably only going to be greens at best anyway.

The previous version of Teq was a complete joke of an encounter.

Shatter is really quite sad also. Jormag isn’t much better.

I would rather see interesting ways for the encounter to play out instead of a bump in HP or a requirement that there be at least X# of people the to provide enough DPS.

I would not mind seeing other ways to gain ascended gear.

I would prefer to just be able to craft anything I’d like. As long as this is an option, I don’t mind seeing other ways to gain the gear.

Reiko.1560:

I like how nobody in this thread gives a kitten that it’s 7 hard weeks for Mag and SoS. Cry me a river and get over yourselves.

The only servers that really matter in gold league is JQ/SoR/BG.

We all know you don’t have the population that the T1 do. If more came to the other gold servers, it would mean something.

If populations were spread evenly, it would matter. ANet doesn’t release those numbers so people go to the servers that they know have an actual WvW population that has an actual chance at winning gold league.

We all stacked servers because we didn’t want to loose just because we were not able to fill a map. Then the default winner would be population. BG/JQ/SoR all have about equal populations, stronger in others but can be made up in other hours when the other server are weaker to your stronger time zone.

You guys could do with more people. Any server less than T1 will get blown out by T1. We know TC doesn’t have the kind of coverage that T1 servers have and gets stomped when paired with them. They are like T1 light. Great taste, less filling.

My only issue with the queue is that I’m not really in line, just in a pool of people to get in and someone that logged in and queued after me can get in before me when I’ve already been waiting.

I do not have a problem with ascended stats in WvW.

Don’t really care to see it removed, I worked for it and would prefer to use it otherwise I wasted my time and gold and I don’t care for that.

If you are in NA gold and plan to run in a zerg, just stay zerker. You’ll be great.

If you are on blackgate, don’t be squishy.

and I can’t get them back.

I have the boxes checked for those chats. I’ve unchecked them and rechecked them and still no chat.

I’ve deleted the chat windows and reformed them and still no chat.

I type in guild or party chat but nothing I type shows up in the chat box after I hit enter, it just disappears, and I can’t see either chats if others are talking. I can see when I whisper, the whisper shows up in the chat box, but I can’t receive whispers or can’t see when I do get a whisper if I am getting them.

I have say and map chat available.

This happened last week around the 8th(I don’t remember exactly, I remember seeing some guild chat but then the chatter kind of got quiet and I wasn’t paying real close attention to it or what day it was. Didn’t really figure out that I had a problem for a couple days because I had to work in between and I wasn’t paying close attention to chat at all since I was just farming and watching some TV.)

When I figured out there was a problem, I though since I had a couple of ssd on order and was waiting for their arrival, I would see if a clean install would fixe it, so I haven’t pursued the matter until I got the game installed clean which I finished tonight. Still no chat.

I don’t know what to do about this now. I would really like to be able to see these chats.

Hi Welcome

I would very much like to see this schedule redone. JQ should be pressured just as much as BG and SoR.

Johje Holan.4607:

Heinel.6548:

Johje Holan.4607:

A mechanic that adds to PPT for the stronger side is still power creep. And I’m not convinced of the argument about the points on stomp benefitting the under-populated side.

There’s no need for arguments when facts fly in your face. BG is the lightest of the top three, and is only competitive now because of point on stomp.

If you have not actually try the mechanic, you are in no position to criticize it’s efficacy.

Where are these facts? This statement is totally unsubstantiated, “BG is the lightest of the top three, and is only competitive now because of point on stomp.”

Actually, we technically are but it isn’t by a huge margin like other servers. We just have players more willing to put in extra hours to cover the gaps. Blackgate has very competetive players on willing to do what we need to do to get that win.

I would gladly give up the stat boost and keep the point per stomp the way it was.

Point per stomp is us players actually adding in points through fights instead of sitting behind the wall on a arrow cart holding the structure for points while the other server tried to get in. It was a compelling reason to not sit behind the walls on siege.

I would much rather given up on the stat boost completely and had the point per stomp stay the way it was.

People ran because they didn’t think they could win when the other side had more than one orb than them. At least with having no stat bonus but still point per stomp wouldn’t make them as frightened. Not saying it won’t get servers to stop running, just wouldn’t make them as scared.

Points per stomp is incentive to get people to get out from behind the doors and learn how to open field fight. I don’t mind a good siege but it is nice when the other server can also offer open field engagements that are fun.

They could make up a schedule.

Server # represents the place and the corresponding server.

They don’t have to say specific names, just have a schedule that says these will be the schedule. The number will be replaced with the server name after the ranking for this week are complete.

Week 1 -Server 1, 2, 3 fight each other and 4,5,6 fight each other
Week 2 – Server 2,3,5, fight each other and 1,4,6 fight each other
Week 3 – Server 3,4,6 fight each other and 1,2,5 fight each other

Etc…

So, they don’t have to know what servers will be playing yet, but they can have a schedule in place.

Since it is a league, there shouldn’t be any randomness involved in the match making.

Window mode doesn’t get everywhere and is a realy PITA to use. I’ve tried it just to see. It can be useful but it isn’t that useful.

It really does help a lot in WvW zerg fighting unless you have a dodge forever build. Not every build can support a dodge forever ability. My tanky build can hurt people easily in zerker gear. Please keep doing that if you play against my server. If you are on my server, you shouldn’t be a squishy because you are then called rally bait.

You don’t quite need that much.

Legendary is future proofed against any new tiers of weapons since the stats will get bumped up automatically because this is supposed to be the top tier so once you’ve made your legendary, you won’t ever have to make a new weapon unless you want a different skin.

Legendary has foot print effects and visual weapon effects. You are basically going for a really fancy skin with fancy effects.

Legendary has the ability to change stats on that weapon anytime out of combat. You have to carry multiple ascended weapons to swap stats if you wish to do that.

You do not get any of this with crafted ascended.

kokiman.2364:

That is wrong on so many levels. You can make way more money with dungeons. The problem is dungeons actually require you to use more than your auto attack. That’s why so many people do this grind, they don’t want to be challenged they just want to be rewarded for pressing 1 button.

I hate the dungeons in this game. They suck. Really, I don’t like the PvE much in this game, it sucks. The PvE I do is for the loot.

I hate trying to get a group in any game.

Champ farming is better for my time and play. Dungeon and champ farming are both boring but I’m less hassled with champ farming than I am with dungeon farming.

I would like to just get my map completion without doing PvE. PvE is boring and all those stupid maps with all those stupid hearts to do stupid menial tasks.

If they want to give my my map completion for only doing WvW maps, you can have your gift for only doing PvE.

Until the, grow a pair and just get it done. Colors rotate so you don’t really have much excuse for not being able to get yours done.

I would use the stealth trap to counter viels. Plenty of places that it would be nice to use but since I can only deploy 1 trap at a time, I’ll stick with my supply trap.

Even if I could drop a stealth trap in addition to the supply trap, there is no reason to do so just to counter a thief. Only bad players would do that because stealth is easy to deal with. I acquired such knowledge in relation to my build, everyone else should also learn how with their build. It isn’t hard to do, just have to use that grey matter.

Banner is fine.

Structures can be taken and held. You were doing it wrong if you had the numbers but couldn’t take the keep.

I hope that you get a ban for falsely reporting people.

Kicking you isn’t really banable just because they kicked you. If they use some kind of language, sure, I can agree that deserves something. Just for kicking you because they didn’t like your gear, no way. They are most definately not going to get a ban just because they requested you wear a specific type of gear. I can ask you to link it without even stating that I will kick and if you do not link, I’ll kick. They won’t ban for that. There is no threats or insults so they won’t ban for that.

You can not force people to party with you that don’t want to party with you.

If you don’t want to wear the gear they are requesting, you can find or form your own party with your own requirements.

Becka Williams.4978:

No, see, there’s already a way to make content difficult: play it using white gear. I told someone, who was asking for a dungeon hard mode, to do that. He refused, unless he got a special shiny for doing it. Tell you what, you run around in only white gear for a week, and I’ll actually believe you when you say you want legitimately challenging content, and not just bragging rights.

The problem with the old Teq is you could stand in one spot, naked with a starter bow, only need stability and a condition remover(didn’t really need it either because the poison was weak) in case you forgot to hit your stability when it breaths and you ran underneath. Occasionally you had to move for the bloated risen if it came toward you but you could easily make it blow up in a spot you didn’t care to stand and then go back to where you were naked shooting with your starter bow with the occasional stability. No exageration either, I’ve done it just for kicks and got a gold medal out of it.

The fight was way too stupid easy before.

I like the waves it adds now. The requirement for coordination and the turrets to do something is also good. I don’t care for the scaling requirement of 80 people.

I have yet to complete this. I hit overflow every time I went during the release of this event, they didn’t coordinate or there was a lot of afk there, and it is a ghost town when I’m there or I again hit overflow. I’ve taken this boss out of my boss rotation. I don’t mind the challenge but I’m not going to solo it and I don’t care to contend with overflow as I don’t find that to be exciting so I’ll do something else.

Yelloweyedemon.2860:

I don’t get what OP is trying to say. What is bloodlust? Is it the weapon rune that gives you power with each kill?

If you stomp someone with the borderland bloodlust buff, you can get 1 to 3 points to your server’s score. Minor = 1 point, Major = 2, Superior = 3. You have to stomp, not just DPS the player till they are dead.

It has been demonstrated that bloodlust is a much better resource for points than the traditional point per tick. In a close match, BG/JQ/SoR for example, the points gained from stomps can determine the winner. I have seen several players alt-F4 just to get out of being stomped. It probably is the same ones but it can add up after a while.

Either points should be added for the stomp when a player alt-F4 while in combat, or any extra chests from winning should be forfit and they should have a perminently displayed unremovable title that calls them a looser or something along the lines that they alt-F4 in WvW because they are sore loosers.

Master of Timespace.2548:

Why would anyone care about that ridiculous “world score” is completly beyond me.

Leagues are comming up and a few servers are wanting the rewards.
