Guild Wars 2

They should get a 3-day ban for this, seriously, what jerks, thankfully I never passed through a situation like this, but I can just imagine how frustrated you were.

I guess for now the only chance we have is having the faster reaction ever and take screenshot right when the kicking option on you appears (does it appear on you when they are trying to kick you?), which is nigh impossible since they’ll probably be talking on voice chat.

Imo they should just get a straight perma ban, but I know it’s “not fair” and they would ask for a refund because they are kittenty like that.

That’s quite fun! Too bad it’s EU only.
Now really is the time for us to make ours. =D

3 more days!!!

LET’S SEE WHO’S THE BEST LOOKING AND WELL-DRESSED (me)

The fightclub is awesome!
I just got dced, thankfully I wasn’t in a fight at the time though haha.
Won some duels, lost some, all is fine, had some pretty nice match-ups, too bad my internet didn’t colaborate in some XD

Logging back in, me and my friend are the only DH remaining haha, thanks for everyone who participated and is participating!

How annoying haha.
If people ever asked me to link my gear I’d just straight out leave, even if I have the exact gear they desire on me/my inventory.
The funniest thing is that I bet some of those zerkers just stayed down/defeated sometimes on the floor because lack of skill/care

Thankfully I never saw anyone asking to link gear. It’s pretty stupid.

That sounds amazing, I support it. =D
And Darkhaven has an incredibly sounding name too =p

Hey there! I’ve been following this thread for a some time now, keep up the great work, you have tons of skill and some neat ideas.

I can’t wait to get my new pc gear, I just can’t do things as fast with the bit of delay I have on my cliente right now haha
Would you mind posting your stats (a/t/v/p/c-dmg/c-chance/etc)?
I’m still trying to find a spot where I get crit chance/crit damage enough but don’t lack much on vit.
Also, do you know the exact number that equates to 1% chance of crit? I heard 21 points = 1% chance, but I’m not sure.

Darkhaven had its exodus of guilds and players as well, but now that we hit tier 7, things really got better and I’m so glad to be fighting against amazing servers such as yours and Gate of Madness.

I wish the best of luck to you to all of our servers, see you on the battlefield!

styx.7294:

I actually have lots of fun in WvW every night. I don’t think you know anything about the low tiers.

…

No, I don’t think server mergers are inevitable. People keep saying that but while they haven’t added new servers they’ve increased server capacity. I think I read that back even in November they were at 90% capacity for the Karka event.

I completely agree.
The current matches are pretty much “perfect”, the best ones I’ve had till now, by far and far.
I actually have fun and things are competitive.
And yes, they did increased server capacity (also to help solving culling and their long term solution that they’ll add eventually).

Different strokes for diferente folks OP, we prefer the WvW as it currently is.

As other guys here said: it’s is 99,99% chance of just being fools who don’t want to work as a team or unexperienced players. It happens. Annoying as heck, but it happens.

I admit I became nervous yesterday when Klovan was with fortify at 97% and they got the wall down, supply was 0 and we just got some, but hey! Only the workers got it and it was all rebuilt =D

Thanks for the amazing fights guys, since last week this is definitely the best tier.

@On coverage: Yeah, I believe this week we got better coverage overall, but last week HoD had more, eh, it happens, I know how it can be annoying to be losing by so little sometimes, but I’m just glad the scores are this close, it shows how even as possible we are. It’s a 100% more fun than the last tiers we were in, now every server really has a chance.

Also, thanks for the great Works, commanders of DH!

“shut up”
“he is learning”

Hahaha I wasn’t there, but kitten that’s a great line hahaha, sounded so funny. XD

I bought full balthazar and I’ve been running with it since.
The stats are really great and compared to a full berzerker one I have… The berzerker just look pretty kittenty, I lose way too much toughness to gain little crit chance and attack.

And hell yeah, I look gorgeous.

Note: My specs aren’t maxed, I’m still choosing the ascended backpiece and I’m working on getting the rings, so I still run around with yellow accessories and rings as a placeholder.

On invulnerable status:
I think it’s fine, just don’t be fool enough to get that near and die just because you “need” that kill.
If you really want to kill them, just go away and wait for them to attack.
It’s annoying? Yes, and that’s the point, they’ll keep people from doing better things.

Honestly, sometimes I think it’s fun, just poking around, relaxing, nothing serious… Because it’s not and shouldn’t be taken as such.

Rofl, I completely forgot about that hahahahaha, so OP, gee. I want that. Looks so cool.
Anyway, I really doubt they will change veil, it already can be quite good enough when well timed and used.

@On portal: Just put it just before people will enter it (needs two mesmers), done, everyone who’s going to be portalled will receive veil.

I support this thread.

It does sounds like a lot of fun, I’m totally up for it!

Let’s have an awesome week again!

I’m really glad @EsLafiel and some of you here wrote posts talking about how the chaos theory, butterflies and the colors scheme fit so well.
I gained some knowledge! I didn’t know pink didn’t exist haha, that’s incredible, it makes me feel even better about the mesmer when I thought it was already at it’s max.

I always found that everything on the mesmer asthetics fit perfectly, we are theatrical, we have fluff, we daze and counfound the mind, we stink of royalty, we demonstrate artistry and luxury, deception and beauty.

It’s way too great and chaotic.

Obs:
@Amadan We are more mind-mages, the most pure form of magic, that’s why we use weapons to channel them by their yeilding and creating phantasms that use them.

WHY.DO.YOU.DO.THIS.TO.ME?

For Ram’s sake, what the heck, I’m sure, I’m so sure I’ll end up marrying a girl from maguuma and all my children will play there as well, it’s not possible, this just can’t be, why do you do this to me?

I never played GW1, but the idea sounds exciting and I love new stuff with new cosmetic rewards. +1
Sounds like a lot of fun and different type of dungeon.

Spectral.5980:

Some people may really like this change. But I can promise this change alone is going cause some insane drama, you watch , the first day this goes into play these forums are going to blow up with raging people. I’m all for this change myself, simply because I’m in a great guild with people who all know how to play, and all use voice. But for the masses, this is going to upset thousands of players.

Yup, you’re totally right.
Now I see that I’ll have to get two more people atleast to always run with… PuG’ing will become a lot more frustrating than it already can be.
Sometimes me and my friend get some good guys going on and it’s simply a blast because everyone knows what they are doing… But that’s not the way it goes more frequently.

lol, you people complaining about veil… It can be really useful and has helped me tons of times, I don’t run with it on my slot all the time, but again, things are situational and we prepare when we see the need… And for that it is great, as it should be.

The argument that having mass invisibilty just make it useless is simple senseless, you can use both + decoy + torch to make sure you’ll remain unseen while waiting to portal people inside a keep you hid…
You can use it so you’ll get to use another elite that may be more useful for you at a time, etc.

Seriously, learn to use your utilities, there’s tons of different situations in the game that can be faced differently.

Of course Darkhaven is enjoying this match-up! Even people that never heard of the game are loving it hahaha, seriously it’s way too good, I honestly never had that much fun in WvW before.

And glad to have ya back, Acium! I love to see your tag up <3

About the dancing in corpses: eh, I don’t do it, but my friends do, they laugh their kitten off doing it, I don’t like it, but I believe everyone can just “whatever” and be fine, it’s not a big deal anyway, it’s only hateful when it’s a kitten thief that kills you during mining! haha

I use AC’s as well haha, it just looks way too god, day and night.
But yeah, tons of people use it, so some won’t like it because of this.

I want to get twilight and visions of the mist sometime to have different looks available.

endeavor.7530:

Here’s what I think, paid transfers to begin and get rid of Tier 7 and 8 by merging the four worlds into 2. GoM and HoD or whatever. Only problem with world merging is people will take it as “game dying,” which is not the case. That’s my 2 cents.

Are you even in t7 to say that?
T7 is currently the best match-up I’ve ever seen and played, we finally found the tier we belong right now and I’m loving the fight against HoD and GoM, the best fights, the best skirmishes, everything is just great and I actually am having too much fun, something that I couldn’t really say much in the past 4+ weeks.

I don’t really know about t8 status, so can’t say much on that, but t7 is “perfect”.

styx.7294:

I’m having an absolute blast with this match too! Go our tier! Boo other tiers!

Definitely!
I really doubt there’s any other matchup as good as the one we’re having right now.

And sure Acium, here you go!

This has been the greatest match so far, honestly, kudos to everyone, DH, HoD and GoM.
I’ve never seen this balanced and competitive really great!

I always thought of us as more theatricals, that being the focus of the class and it shows, but I understand your point, wanting to be more music inclined… But I just see it as a nice flavour that we could have, but acting was always the main point and I love that.

Hey there, just logged off after destroying all of AR siege that was trying to hit our keep from Aldor’s :P
Killed some guys aswell with the mortar and the cannon, switching between both of course.

Shout out to the “siege duel” I had with someone, was nice destroying yours! But you made another one and killed the mortar when I wasn’t maining it
Also, shout out to whoever helped later with the catas near the wall!

This was the best match up so far, here’s hoping the next one will be even better!

I’m glad to hear that =D Keep having fun and discovering the game, there’s always stuff we don’t know yet that can improve our experience!
Cheers.

Oh my, some posts (few) in this thread were too funny.
The majority was good and I was even impressed with the contente of posts, but then I hit two that really…

Some people just don’t know what to play if the game isn’t saying on their faces what do to. GW2 has quite the semi-sandbox potential, the endgame is everywhere and you can do whatever you want.
The community even helped a lot, as in making gw2lfg.com.
There’s tons and tons of content everywhere, you just have to take your time and go around the world to find them. It’s there, just look for it. There’s also content that we know of and don’t have to keep searching because they are more straightforward in the sense that they are there, such as dungeons.

Honestly, I still can’t believe how many people are angry at ascended gear, for god’s sake, it’s the same thing, THE SAME THING as exotics, no kitten stats difference. Agony is just present in FotM and from 10 onwards. There are only rings and backpack of ascended quality, even Fractal Weapons are exotic and it’s cosmetic (they are harder to get and RNG only, that I disagree, but we’ll see).
Seriously, people freak out for NOTHING.

Now more to the topic in this thread, I keep seeing people “make it or break it”, but honestly? I don’t think the game would hold them much longer anyway, they probably came here with the wrong mindset and expectations.
It’s GREAT that they are planning os just improving everything we have and make it work even better so people realise how much the game offers.

I’m excited to see everything that’s coming, and atleast we do know one thing, almost 100% sure abou,t, new WvW set of maps and I called it! Then Colin pretty much confirmed it.

ColinJohanson.2394:

It’s worth noting, while they said we’re not working on new versions of the home maps currently, they didn’t say anything about new maps in general…..

Also I’ll throw out that the work our WvW guys are doing on culling and progression systems are extremely large, these are feature systems unto themselves. For example a lot of the culling work requires re-building almost entirely the way our game compiles, loads, and handles assets in general. For many companies, this task could literally years, we’re trying to pull it off in a matter of months, these guys are rock stars.

I know some of you got the impression there isn’t much development going on here, but I was to clarify you couldn’t be more wrong. There is a boat load of very serious WvW being done, much of it they discussed in this interview. Major features require many month long projects, our hope is you’ll start seeing the major fruits of those labors starting in our February update.

You’ll hear more details from our WvW team once stuff gets closer to finalized and tested, but we think you’re going to be thrilled with the stuff that’s coming. As an old DAoC fan, I’m freaking stoked about what these guys are doing.

I’m sorry to hear about the bad gameplay day you had, but one tip for now and onwards: when you don’t get the pop up window for a dungeon, even though you are on the map, just esc > character select and enter again, it will show up, I know it wasn’t the case here, but to fix future possible issues, do that.

And do utilize gwlfg.com, it’s incredible and awesome, you’ll even get all the story modes done in no time, just will take a lot more to get a party and you may have to start one yourself, but in 30min max you’ll probably be able to do it.

Good luck and have fun.

I’m in love with your ideas, it all makes so much sense and I whole heartly agree.
And dang, if THAT was the fight I fought against Zaithan… It would’ve been really epic.

Ojimaru.8970:

Dan.8709:

One doubt I have on feedback with blind, the people inside, does it still make them damage themselves? Or they would start missing themselves? lol
From the vídeo Osicat posted it seems they still hit themselves, but was just wanting to make sure.

Reflection skills are… odd. As in they don’t behave the way one would expect. As far as I’ve seen…

1) When a projectile is fired at a Reflection-based field, it is first negated. Then it is fired back in the direction of the projectile source, following the same flight path it normally would but the source is from the Reflection field.

2) This means the reflected projectile’s new source is you, not the enemy. Hence while the enemy’s Blindness is counted for on the attack, the reflected projectile will still deal damage, assuming you yourself were not Blinded.

3) As mentioned above, the reflected projectile inherits your stats, such Crit chance, Crit damage and Weakness. Furthermore, if you have other on-crit effects, it will also trigger, e.g. Superior Sigil of Fire will trigger from a reflected projectile.

4) The reflected projectile will also receive Combo effects if the Reflection was from a Combo Field, i.e. you will get a Confusion Bolt combo with Feedback, while Wall of Reflection gives Cleansing Bolts.

Oh, now I can certainly see how it works, it’s a lot better than I thought.
Thanks so much for your response, was really great and taught be quite a bit!

Yeah, definitely not 30 and atleast 1/4 of them probably were having lag issues (there will always be people in the zergs with lag issues, both for internet/cliente problems), but that doesn’t diminish what you did.

It’s funny how the zerg mentality takes across everyone on it though, seriously haha.
Awesome teamwork and nice play, kudos.

Finally new opponents, nice to see NSP again.
Good fight to all.

Dang, Underworld is indeed one of the best names, I wish I could play for both the best names, Darkhaven on US and Underworld on EU lol

Actium.8765:

So..gues my guild doesn’t matter eh?

It does, a lot.

I’m sure you can get that skin elsewhere. Do you have a screenshot of it?

It’s brilliant, really, they should totally make it like that, I can perfectly imagine it.
Just “how to fight the dragons” would have to be different, but since they already kittened up on Zaithan I don’t expect that much lorewise… Seriously, we searched the hell out of things, discovered dwarven relics and writings, some guy was translating it… and we never heard of him again. It all ended up on “shoot a fricking laser and throw some balls”, but I’m going off-topic, sorry.

But it really would be perfect, people divided, some with their own orders, others with the pact, a lot of intrigue and espionage, unecessary fights and deaths, drama, better plots, it’d be awesome.

Zogyark.4597:

They did re-design it so what you played was it, it used to be worse, I doubt they will again they really messed up the last fight, after how dissapointing the story gets after level 30 I was hoping it would make a comeback with the last fight, of course I was wrong.

Zhaitan and Trahearne are just the worst.

Wait, what? Was it even worse? Do you mind telling us how much?

Dan.8709:

Watch the interview.
They didn’t say there won’t be new maps, they just said that atleast now they won’t do separated borderlands.

I STILL BELIEVE in a new set of maps, new borderland and eternal battlegrounds, and make it change in cycles, one week our maps now, next week another set, then actual one again and it goes along as they add more maps… I hope… Soon, as in February, please.

Thanks for posting the interview, Colin, it was fun and interasting.
Here’s really hoping February will be huge for WvW.

Hah, I called it.
So many people just keep on bashing the team and talking crap. ANet really loves their game and will work to make the better out of it and I have faith in them to stick while we’re waiting for fixs and improvements that are much needed.

I can imagine how incredibly hard it is to make that major overhaul that culling takes, I’m a programmer myself, so yeah.
Thanks for aswering this thread Colin, it’s appreaciated!

I definitely and obviously agree. Just showing my support here with my post.
Thanks for you thread.

I finally did it 7 hours ago, pretty disappointing, it had a bit of fun moments and it was cool and I can imagine it a lot better in my head as I always do when the execution is done poorly in the personal story.

Seriously, a book about it would’ve been better. The story was way too weak.
Why the hell did I went through so many kitten and research just to shoot a kitten freaking laser?
What about the dwarven relics and Orr knowledge we gained and people were translating? That never came up again, that’s just kittened up. I’m not even talking about the mechanics of the final battle which where a huge letdown, but about the story itself. The writing wasn’t that good and all the mistery built up on “how to defeat the dragons” and “how each organization is researching and thinking its own way to defeat it” would work out.
Seriously, Kralkatorrik was going to be put TO SLEEP on one of the books, they weren’t able to defeat him, it had so much mistery and it was so much more interesting.

Huge letdown.
Worst of all is that I am a fanboy, so yeah, to me to admit all of this? I don’t even want to think about those who aren’t that found of the lore.

Don’t misunderstand me, I loved the cinematics and the commemoration on the personal story afterwards, I was really moved by the ending soundtrack, it was absurdly awesome, but the dungeon and how the story was handled sucked and sucked hard.

Obs: Another good point people made here: AWFUL loot, UTTERLY awful, except, obviously for the guild influence (could’ve been greater though, kitten we freaking killed Zaithan and commanded the most part of it, for god’s sake). Seriously, freaking greens?

Some hours ago in Eternal Battlegrounds was insane, Ehmry Bay almost took the whole map, we had to flee, get all our borderland back and then regain everything we had on EB, it was back and forth conquering.
During the day it was pretty fun and hectic aswell, thanks for everyone who played and helped! Even though we have fewer numbers we can make it though!

Special shoutout (from me) to Vaeltus who leaded in a great deal of time.

The other servers: keep up the good fight and stop killing me when I’m running from a place to the other, let me have a stroll in peace, please!

Obs: I felt pretty proud trebbing so well lol

You guys just posted two lengthy and great, great, truly great suggestions, I hope so much that developers implement them… Because we really need those, WvWvW is pretty stale and with a lot of things not exactly working.
Please, ANet, talk more to us, tell us you’re reading, we’re pretty much in the dark with your lack of communication regarding tons of aspects.

Watch the interview.

rtommaso.3120:

About the cogs. Well, you can use 50 of them to craft the money sink quagan pet (foostivoo the merry) and you will still have 150 extra. Well, you can craft 3 more quagans and (maybe) put them with a 4th rare pet to try for an exotic in mystical forge. Or save for 2013. I dont know any other use for them other than frame minis and quagan.

What’s the recipe for it? I didn’t know it was possible to make on the forge

Actium.8765:

I’m actually feeling kinda sad right now. First SE then GoF and now RE is thinking of leaving.. :\ can’t catch a break can we.

All I have to say is that even though these guilds have left, or a thinking of leaving, our smaller guilds are stepping up to the challenge. going to give a shout out to some guilds I have seen lately just so the darkhaven people that come to the forumes to read and not reply can see that we are not going down unless its in a blaze of glory.

TRA – seen you tonight in Borlis BL. Good job to you.

Soul – I haven’t played in awhile but you guys are always fast to respond and more then willing to jump down into a zerg to kill seige.

BRH – I know your commander Cliide. Good guy, good leader. Keep it up guys. we will need you.

VEX – seen few of you playing some good defense at supply camps. ^.^

And many more I have seen but can’t exactly remember. sorry for that.

These small guilds make a server. No one big guild can hold all borderlands together. It is you that we rely on and it is you that we turn to when we need that extra 30 supply or someone to add to a zerg. We will need all the small guilds to work together more then ever now seeing as were loosing more and more people.

I will personally be with darkhaven all the way down. Whether we stop our own fall and stand up or hit the bottom. We will eventually stand and we will eventually get stronger.

end motivational speach and commence wvw

good fights so far guys!!

Great post, this one and all the others from our guys at Darkhaven!
I really had awesome fights in this server, I’ll also stick with this till the end, it’s my home server since day 1 and I really consider it “my home”.
I, atleast for now, just play as a pug, but always team up with people to get camps, sentrys, zerging and defending the best way I can.
I just recenetly got around to do WvW (a month), but since then I play atleast two hours of it a day, sometimes more and I’ve already learned a lot.

Thanks for all the great commanders and each and everyone of you who play with us, let’s stick together in this hard time and get stronger again!

Yeah, from what ArenaNet developers said on a stream there will be more frames from now on!
