Guild Wars 2

They gave them 3 seconds of invulnerability. Also buffed them with Berserk and Determined. They also seem to be faster and wander off in those 3 seconds.

IDK why you’d change them. Now you took a grind and made it a “Pause, Wait, & Grind” Just because people were overzealous on day one, doesn’t mean daddy has to come lord over it.

I was having a lot of fun last night setting a bomb, trigger the holo, and watching them blow up! It wouldn’t kill them outright but, it truly was a blast! Just enough damage to tag too.

This is something we needed to work out on our own. Besides, being a low level alt, they aren’t THAT easy to solo. No one’s going to be doing them after they get the achievement. As a developer, Anet should realize how OCD their gamers are by now

Thus, please revert them back as it was more fun!

people are going crazy trying to nuke them as hard as possible. It takes barely any damage to tag them folks. I’m in a starter zone on a level 10 against level 80’s in exotics and having no trouble tagging all of them. You just have to tap them, not nuke them.

OY!

^ I posted in map chat something to the extent that if I find any foul play, expect to get reported. Because someone was bouncing around the zone after every freaking projector. What I don’t get is, if this person is way pointing, they are spending a heck of a lot of money on it.

A fair way would be to party up and depower a bit so everyone gets a shot in. Heck grab some white labeled weapons and run around. You’ll still wipe them in a second or two.

Anwar, sorry you had that experience. If you jumped into the end of a segment, yeah you’ll get wiped hard.

A lot of PvP’ers in this game have no clue how utterly obnoxious they can be. IRL, there would be serious repercussion for those kinds of actions. Fun is the last thing on their mind. It’s why I wish the dev’s wouldn’t cater to them so much.

It think my idea of paint ball would have been as skilled yet, more lighthearted and fun. There’s nothing funny about this one to balance the experience. Yet, it is better than crab toss. That one makes no sense at all….

They should have announced this ahead of time. I was on the fence of buying more gems just this past Sunday. If I had not already bought gems in the past, this would have certainly motivate me to buy them the other day.

It’s a nice gesture and I was happy to see it

It’s still pretty mindless running around. And yes, as a WvW’er I’m not knew to Zerging

There is something odd to being hit. I wish the combat log was functional. I’ve been wiped while jumping down out of LoS. The shots must be tracking or going through solid object. It’s also unclear if some traits are functioning in some form or fashion.

One things for certain, in such small quarters, smaller characters are a benefit.

Umm… please do not buy these and just farm for them in instead
All these threads, seeing these percentages, are making me ill

I LOVE Mystic Jacuzzi! Being able to jump into the Mystic Forge was something I’ve wanted to do since day one. Please keep this feature.

Also, the flushing water sounds are too funny!

I was thinking, maybe it should be more paint ball? Where each hit builds points, instead of diminishing HP. Where there is no killing and the subsequent 15 sec time handicap. See… positives, not negatives

Also, I’d think it’d be more fun to get covered in paint! Especially coming out into LA totally covered in it. Then, having to dip in the Mystic Forge (which I love that we can do) to rinse it off. See, now THAT’s fun to me I’d wear that paint all night

Seems like it’s just endless running only to die in a couple of hits. Not really much skill. And, the first team to get the most power ups is just going to roll the other team.

Wasn’t the Winter one was better with the different roles in it? I dislike frenetic button mashing PvP like this.

I’d love to see the actual map population. A live population count would be awesome! But, I’ve never seen anything like that. The only thing I’ve ever seen was the Queue times report.

I’m certain a lot of us remember back in the fall. There were so many players, we’d sit in the queue for hours. Filling a map or map hopping wasn’t required. Unlike today….

I don’t think BG has the ability to not Zerg anymore. They just have THAT many playing WvW now. And yet, there were BG Guilds recruiting in the LA overflows earlier. #smh

I think we all know Staff Ele is the worst build in the game. Expect to die a lot and stay behind the heavies It’s unfortunate because it’s the play style and RP I like.

For me, I’m always switching mine around. Right now I’m in PTV Armor and Staff with Celestial accessories. Sigils are battle and I actually forget the runes.

I’m assuming this isn’t an update but, a mechanical failure of some sort. Nothings perfect and 100%. I have no problem waiting it out

Is this a dev’s way of getting people into sPvP????

PIG’s, yes fix please????

For the roamer discussion, um… yeah, expect to be jumped instantly. And, if you prey on our squishies, expect a group of fatties to come wipe you next time around We are a whole world after all.

My head is spinning trying to figure out what the heck everyone is going on about! Let’s have fun! And, I was very pleased to have run with some of TW tonight on JQ BL.

I posted an idea about WvW here. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/Should-WvW-ever-have-been/first#post2139531
It’s basically asking if worlds should even be fighting. Or, if we should be joining as individuals into a Legion to fight the larger scale battles. To me, the world should be where you reside and do your PvE. A legion should exist’s in the Mist.

TY UnrepentantProcrastinator.7420 for the Goldilocks compliment. Because I think we are, just right With room for more! lol

Quality Maintenance Oil is mislabeled as gaining power instead of precision.
Just FYI devs

^ I didn’t watch the video until you mentioned it. OMG adorable!!!!

Evalana.5480:

Old School score update while sitting in queue ♥

You all sound like you need a /hug.

/HUG!!!!

^A queue at 2am est??? GG!!!!!!!! Ok, I really want those queue numbers from Devon now please

I’m happy to see TW come to JQ to play! Fun to run along side folks instead of always against them. Been having a riot in DB BL with SF and AoS. I’ll have to pry myself away for a lil bit.

Still have a few folks on my hit list I haven’t seen yet. Don’t hide all week. What’s a lil armor repair going to cost you, huh?

Haven’t been back on since 3am or so this morning. Wow, I’m hurting still from all the excitement. Could barely sleep and aspirin has been my friend today lol Best night of WvW since before Xmas when we were 20+ Golem rushing against SoS. Good times…

I’ve already apologize to all the DBer’s whom aren’t ex-JQ on page 3. There is no malice or hate at all for DB. I think we’re doing our best to make this literally, one giant Guild Bounty Mission. Because there are certainly bounties to be won

Even though one may think this is just between [EMP] and [RE] it goes far beyond that. Because those actions of a few, were against us all on JQ as a server, not just that one guild. Just realize that…..

How about we do something about the discussion on who’s the “Most Stacked Server”? I posted this a few days ago and only one person replied. I think it’s time we all put up or shut up Let’s see the numbers!…..

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/Queue-Reports-Devon/first#post2162655

If we get the numbers from Devon we can create a better tier by balancing our ranks, right?

Fun night everyone! Can’t imagine the excitement going into Green BL from reset. When we all saw Dragon Brand on the loading screen, TS erupted!! I’m guessing you all were equally surprised.

Sorry to the DB whom weren’t ex JQ. Just hope you avoided your home BL tonight. After tonight, it’s like I don’t even have to play the game anymore. Mission accomplished for me.

Hey BG on Wagon Brand BL, please realize how personal this night is for us.
TY….

I think this will be a fun reset Muahahahahaha!!!!!!!

How can pet’s melt someone’s “Face” off when the last stupid balancing has them now going behind the enemy? As a condition Ranger, I noticed it immediately in Orr. Using SB I noticed all the Risen would bypass the pet and come straight for me. Then as I try to flank to get bleeds on them. They literally just pivot like a top to always face you. Now, whatever damage my pet can do from behind, if the target completely stands still, is getting nerfed?

Great design you have there Dev’s!!!!

So… when is the Golden Child and his sister the Mesmer getting their burst output nerfed? How about that broken stealth mechanic? That’s all secondary to one bunker build because the game has to revolve around John Sharp and his precious sPvP. #smh

TY! I do run sword/torch now for my melee. I love fire aura, as gimmicky as it is

I’m kinda speechless on this. Wow, really????…

dunnberry.2964:

Or if the top servers stopped trying to make everyone transfer/bandwagon/stack to them than this wouldn’t be a problem either

On JQ, we’re just replacing the personnel whom transferred off. Nothing wrong with that, right? How we’re still at “full” now is a question I have for the dev’s.

I bought Settler’s Armor/accessories right away. Not bad stats at all. Problem I’m running into is flanking targets with short bow isn’t as easy as it sounds. Power long bow / great sword seems like a lot easier of a build.

Going to do a power build next and see how it goes. With the pet nerf coming, I’m guessing my BM is going downhill anyway, right?

We’re bugged again on JQ!!!

I think I wasn’t clear enough on my first post. This complaint is pretty specific for the horde of level 84’s in Steampipe. The regular crazed hit for half to even less than half of those Veteran level 84’s.

I did the queen just before and it was a cake walk. We did camp Karka for the 4/4 and walked right up to the Queen. When she had about 25% hp left, I walked into Steam pipe to help anyone still needing to get in. But, there wasn’t any add’s in there at all! So, if this has been your experience, I can see why you feel the difficulty level is fine.

There are certainly different version’s of this fight. We’re bugged again on JQ and I’ll have to wait til later for more testing.

^TY…. that’s some great advice. Will give it a try. I’m still finding people getting locked out by the horde in Steampipe. Unless someone plays sacrificial lamb, no ones getting in from the south. Obviously, a lot or poster’s haven’t tried it to see what we’re talking about.

You nailed it with this post!!!!

The problem (and a rather predictable one) is that people are camping the Queen spawn point, leaving the Karkas to mass outside and block others from entering.

If the Karkas were intended to be fought (and there’s no reason to believe they weren’t) it was likely as a coordinated or semi-coordinated team. But people in their rush to get the chest don’t really care, since they’ve already got theirs. It’s hard to put the blame on ANet’s shoulders for this.

Though they should have expected players to do this, no?

I promoted them greatly on JQ the week before paid transfers started. Was doing a couple of them per day. Even on the top of every hour at one point. And yes, they seemed to work.

I don’t know how to make the system better except for NOT having Guild claiming at all as it is. Each structure or camp should have it’s own hero panel. Where a Guild can place it’s shield on a bonus they have available. Why only a single guild can “claim” something is flawed for an area of play called WvW. We’re supposed to be working together, right?

I know I had it happen to me a couple weeks ago on reset. Ran around the bl’s with the +5 buff upgrading and claiming the camps. Our N. camp flip’s and before we even take it back I said, “Don’t take supply, upgrading and putting +5 on it.” Of course, we take it back and someone claims it without any buffs. I was ticked off to say the least.

Ok, now that it’s working again, I went into Southsun about 2 hours ago. There is certainly something to the “bad design” discussion instead of the plain dmg output.

I just spent over an hour or so clearing the settlements. Then went to clear the Pride Point settlement for the 4/4 and the second it’s done, the Queen pops.

Now I’m racing to try and get there in time. I get there and everyone’s inside fighting her. Awesome, now it’s just me vs the 20 lvl 84’s in Steampipe Steading. As you can imagined, I was killed in about a second. WP’d to tried again, killed in about a second, again. Suffice it to say, they killed the queen in about 4 minutes. So… after all that effort clearing settlements, I got nothing.

Before anyone say’s anything, there was only one gimmick as a Norn Ranger I could have tried. That is if my Elite wasn’t on cool down from using it in Pride Point.

10 minutes later, while standing inside Steampipe Steading still, another event pop’s. A swarm of lvl 84’s simply de-cloak around me. I ZOMG…. Dodge, Dodge, and…… yeah, I’m dead I was spit at 13 times for about 44k damage. Those dirty lil Karka!!! The highest being 5.5k with my 2.9k armor at the time. So, there still is something to the damage output discussion too.

To me, that isn’t fun. I’m actually angry and have little desire to play the game. 2 hours spent doing a boring chore just to be denied, nope… not worth it. Thus, unless the dev’s want to lower the population of the game, this isn’t working as intended on many levels.

If you like dying, great enjoy. If you like event’s where a high percentage of the time you fail, great enjoy the suffering! For me, I don’t pay developers to annoy me like this. It’s not even about skill or challenge, it’s just more RNG. Because what’s the alternative, be a kitten and just park yourself in front of the queen and let someone else do the settlements?

Pfft….. if only you knew that our JQ center island was really a giant missile silo. If we go, T1 comes with us.

<insidious laugh>
….Muahahahahahaha…..
</insidious laugh>

:)

I’d go for all of these if there were personal counters to them. Backpack that have aura shielding. Laser and sonic weapon’s for the beast… etc.

Storm, the better rewards are only once per day per account. That’s why you weren’t receiving better loot on the follow up’s.

I haven’t even been able to do it today. The event has been bugged on JQ and several other servers.

I love how Raven Paradox is boasting how great SoR is. Yeah, it’s called PvDoor!!!

JQ just a few minutes ago was outmanned on 3 maps. Obviously, no queues at all either. It’s easy to claim how great you are when you are playing with yourself

If you didn’t spike, you didn’t kill them

No one else wants to know what’s actually happening? The data would be most useful.

….Especially for Guilds wishing to transfer…..

+1 to this too! Sick of being hit by target’s out of ranger. When my Ranger is traited for extra range.

We cannot damage the karka nest in Steampipe Steading. Please fix

Sovta, remark’s such as these, unless funny, are not very productive. Anything constructive to add? What’s wrong with holding hands and singing btw?

Volkon, with the countless amount of hours in WvW that I have, you’d think I don’t have high armor? My builds are mostly bunker/support with 3k armor. I’m well aware of how to dodge too. With that I say, the damage output is too F’n high!!!

http://youtu.be/_Ip8gspFaH8?t=1m44s

Of the gaming community, I believe only a small minority find dying though random circumstances fun. Thus, there should be more mechanical complexity than raw damage. It’s like thieves roaming in WvW. Being instagibbed by them certainly turns off new players fast.

Southsun will become a ghost town again if things aren’t changed. Two rares from the Karka Queen are not enough to prevent people from going back to the Dragons and other World Bosses. Which, as a WvW player, I don’t mind if it becomes a ghost town if the result is more come back to WvW to play

Tonight, I’ll probably run around playing like a monkey in Steampipe Steading. Hopefully people will see how you can traverse the wall and terrain to avoid the mobs. Though, for anyone thinking of it, karka climb so don’t stand idle!

The thing is, I play in windowed mode all the time. I don’t like covering up the windows explorer bar. I don’t have another monitor, laptop, or tablet to be using at the same time. So I have to multi-task on one screen. Thus forcing full screen or a certain resolution isn’t the solution.

The solution is to lock the window between a certain aspect ratio. Or, make AC’s line of sight of something else.

Besides, WvW is more than likely a very small population of the game. Locking out a feature for all players due to WvW is kinda overkill.

There’s a consistent argument over quality vs quantity. Over how many players are actually in WvW compared to the servers populations. Well, back in September, we were given a great illustration of the actual numbers. Below is the image.

Can we get these again please, Devon?

GG…… what happened here? Thank you all for posting. I have no idea how my little observation became this long thread. I was just pointing out that we consume content incredibly fast. I see I shouldn’t have used the words “end game” as it’s a subject you area all very passionate about….

:)

As the title say’s, I think the damage output is getting TOO HIGH! On what, well, many things actually. I think this is a systemic problem of being instagibbed in this game. Fights should last longer, not shorter.

Now, they raised the damage output of the “Crazed” creatures in Southsun. Being 1 or 2 shotted isn’t fun at all. Not too mention costly.

Dev’s…. lower the damage to defense ratio. You are out of control!

Considering, they just upped the damage output in Southsun to near One/two shot deaths, this “hard mode” better be optional. There’s nothing I hate more than being insta-killed. It’s freaking RNG now while playing.
