Guild Wars 2

Will there be any update on commander system also? I guess not, but it’s worth to ask…

Fafnir.5124:

Or you could just guest to a low population server where no one is doing the event for a free empty map. this is especially feasible if you got everyone in TS and doing a highly coordinated run.

Please don’t

If you like a low populated server for the easiness to get in a zone without bothering with queue, please transfer to the server.

its only a problem when you are on the receiving end…such as an over populated server like desolation.

There is another situation, like when a low population server (say Whiteside Ridge) is used as a “secure to join overflow” when home server is full.

It happened twice with the Marionette, js. It ruined our arrenged attempt both times, as some of ours couldn’t join while some were quietly talking in language other than in English in map chat (you know, one of three languages that have dedicated server, but I won’t be more specific as it is not the case).
The first time they just said that they came for Tequatl and then stopped by at Marionette.

I know that would be a pain to write code for situation like this and so it’s not going to happen, but I agree that guests should be kicked from map to make room for home players.

A buff on some secondary stats (like MF, experience and gold from mobs…) tied to big bosses (Teq, Wurm and Marionette for now, maybe one on having all the temples+arah open, provide they solve bugs first!) could be nice. No way on primary stats.
Also, make it serverbound, that way guesting will be discouraged.

Buffs should last 24 hr, ofc.

edit: another way is that they could boost the Power of the Mists by 10’000 points (with DR)

account wide WXP? news?

+1 to alternate spawns when Marionette will be over.

Hat’s off to Desolation, gg

Kurr.4179:

With the Wurm, it’s been figured out essentially.

So every small detail, every possible combination, build etc… has already been figured out. God, I’m so slow.

Patch has been out since 3 days, give yourself some time…

More: this fight is just a challenge. That’s it. It’s not the end of the world if you can’t make it or you don’t like it.
If running a marathon was easy, NY race would have 1’000 people instead of 50’000.

Whiteside Ridge just completed it too for the first time (was the 3rd serious attempt)

Tachii.3506:

Have a few from each lanes to hop lanes, usually does wonders.

If you do not have trouble with Portal Sickness (or whatever is)

Did 3 attempts up to now (1 patch night, 2 last night, people at each attempt were more or less the same):
1st attempt: 1 severed chain
2nd attempt: 2 severed chains
3rd attempt: 3 severed chains
It’s just a matter of learning how to fight the champs, there is no need to kill it at day one…

My guess is that Marionette will remain until the end of the story arc (that means end of March, more or less, last update is March 4th).

By that is plausible boss will be much easier, we’ll see if people will stay to fight it.

Bubi.7942:

1. Supply carrier mastery – 5 levels at max, every level for 20 ability points, all levels do the same thing:

- You can place 1 supply in keeps, towers, SM for every 2 supply you have (So at max level you can carry 5 supplies to a tower/keep for 10 supplies)

Like it, but the high price will keep most people away from it (like Supply Capacity), but that could be a nice add-on.

Bubi.7942:

2. Engineering/thieving mastery – 5 levels – every level for around 15 points

Way too much, a few silver players could overturn an entire map without even visit a supply camp, I guess it’s too much.

Bubi.7942:

3. Golem mastery – Self explainatory really so I won’t bother

I’m in line with people that think golems are OP

Bubi.7942:

4. Defence mastery – 6 levels

This. I love defending objectives. I defend towers alone for that matter, I don’t care if I got overrun. Give me some tools other than map chat pleading for help

Bubi.7942:

5. Capture mastery – 5 levels

Mixed feelings on those, but like the idea.

Bubi.7942:

6. Dolyak escorter mastery from RashanDale plus my lv6 slapped on

This also, I guess the mount could be trolled or exploited, therefore I would keep it out, the rest is fine and needed

Bubi.7942:

7. Executioner (mastery)

Level 10 is a bit OP, but like this line also

Last week we were doing a small guild raid (6 ppl) in Blacktide border. After capping the southern tower close to wp, we decided to give a shot at Hills, try to sneak it with catapults on the west side.
We built 3 and were already firing at walls, when we saw a 30 men zerg coming from North.
Knowing that we would face certain death, no matter what, our commander just said “kitten this, they don’t get any loot or xp” and after that shouting “Leeeeeeeeeeeeroyyyyyyyy Jenkins” he did a suicidal jump. Rest of guild mates did the same, I was there last, I turned, saw the zerg approaching and though “Ah, what the hell” and jumped to my death as well.
That would be already a funny moment, we were laughing together when all of a sudden a Blacktide come flying from the sky and crashed next to me.
At that point laughing was hysterical, we simply couldn’t stop.

(yes, I know, we could simply WP, but if we would have done it it wouldn’t be a funny moment )

Bubi.7942:

Just man up guys.

We guys on Whiteside Ridge decided that we are going to kill Tequatl as a server.

We began training back in October, and after 4 months of failing hard, we finally killed him for the first time last Thursday. It should become a routine in the next few weeks.

All you need is effort and patience. Put in effort. Effort.

I’m one of them.

I totally agree with him, to me the real reward is not what I got in game (even if for about 20 minutes of play the reward is adequate if you succeed), it was hear people screaming in TS after we managed to slain it after all the effort from many people (especially from Bubi himself).

For that I hope that it will be same with the wurm. Even if it take 4 months again to slain, I won’t care (hope less tbh), as long as I will have the same fun working together my fellow WSRers.
