The communication in this thread is fantastic!

I have one question though, can we expect Hard Mode in April?

Kitten love you man!
Please keep this dungeon!
I LOVE jumping puzzles!
I was hoping for one to come and then it’s 8-bit style too, oh my god! <3

I don’t believe alot of players know how Quaggan camps can actually benefit them.

-Each camp sends out a team of Quaggans to their set targets, these are the keeps.
-Then you have the Temple of Storms which strikes lightning on top of Garrison but they also send out a Quaggan squad to one of the lower camps, correct?

Now my question is about the Weather Nodes.
How do they work, do they increase damage output from lightning caused by Temple of Storms? Are they just sitting there waiting for someone to get destroyed to make the camp neutral again?
I don’t really know what they do and I would like to know.

It’s good to see a lot of attention is being brought to this thread and the communication from ArenaNet is outstanding!

To keep this a question-answer thread, please refrain from long-term discussions to keep this thread more clean.

Thanks guys, keep on posting!

It’s quite disappointing to see what has become of this, in the first few match-ups games were pretty exciting and all servers went on pretty equal. I found it really enjoyable.

Now all of a sudden the more organized guilds decide to join last week’s winning server… and this happens. It’s not enjoyable to play like this anymore.

Can’t wait for this match-up to end and get equal opponents again.

Thanks for answering (especially during you lunch), Mike!

Upcoming (possible) features you mentioned already gets me excited.

As far as being able to play just in WvW and never have to leave if they don’t want to, that most definitely is our goal, and I think we’ve done a fairly good job at that so far. We do need to make sure ascended gear is obtainable in WvW, but other than that I think we’ve mostly made it so you never have to leave WvW if you just want to play there forever. Feel free to point out why I’m wrong about that

Switching characters kicks you out of WvW.

He meant doing activities, such as farming and what not.

It’s pretty crucial information that players need to know.

Dear Arenanet,

I have been quite interested in the details of WvW but am not able to figure these out so far.
So I would like to ask if Arenanet is willing to share the details?
This information is really nice to have to increase strategic organisation.

A couple of question I have are:
- How does siege despawning work?
- Do we have a siege limit? If so, what happens if we cross it?
- How many players can one map contain?

And probably more that I can’t currently think of.

Thanks in advance!

Quite an exciting match already! It seems that Piken Square really wants to prevent Gandara from gaining points aswell. But don’t worry, if AR agrees, you will end up 2nd, just behind us.

I don’t really see the problem with thieves. I don’t really play thief but you have to figure out how a Thief works. You have to get to know their skills and traits. A glass cannon Thief is strong but it is so incredibly vulnerable, a few hit’s and you can down a Thief.

The only defense a Thief has is dodge, blind and cloak (sort of). If you know what skill the Thief used to cloak himself with (which is easy to figure out) you will know where he is and you can still hit him while he is cloaked.

About the stealth stomping. Sure, if you are downed in a 1v1 you will probably won’t be able to survive. But in a multi-fight a stun, daze, knockdown, knock-back skill will just cancel it out. You don’t have to select a target (for the majority of skills) for it to take effect.

It’s a competitive game mode, you shouldn’t just sit back and play lazy, you’ll lose the fight.

They then went to sunny and set up 4 catas, we took all of them out with a treb then they wisened up and put them at the wall, there was nothing we could do with about 3 defenders against a growing zerg of around 30+. After they took sunny they proceeded on to bay. We managed to get their and destroy a golem at the outer north gate before they finally broke through. We then set up a few arrow carts on the inside of bay and defended it for about 15 minutes until finally a golem got through our gate and we lost bayt the computer so i don’t know how long it was before we retook bay.

Hah, those were my Golems.

Been enjoying this match-up quite well, we go up pretty equally. Unlike last week Gandara was just… I don’t know how to describe this, barely anyone tried to do something. Co-ordination this week is quite an improvement for Gandara, cheers for that.

I will see you guys on the battlefield!

I really like those outfits, would really want to be able to wear them on my characters too.

So we have been getting new materials with the new content, but there is currently no option to deposit this into out materials storage, only in our regular storage. It would be really nice to get additional room for the new materials to deposit this into.

Also, if there is any chance to get room for ‘’holiday materials’’, that would be great.
I am expecting more materials with upcoming Wintersday and other future content.
All those extra materials just soak up room.

Thanks in advance.

I love being able to have multiple guilds, I can play with these guys when I want to, and when I feel like playing with the others I can easily represent the other one.

I find having a small guild great for PvP, you can easily put your dedicated team into it and when you are going to tPvP you can represent your PvP guild.

I don’t know why it should be hard to create a guild, it won’t have all the extra’s bought from Influence instant anyway.

I’m not saying the current system is perfect, there are things to improve upon, but it’s definitly not bad.

Zen.2450:

I got nothing because I couldn’t/didn’t want to attend. Looks like AN is discriminating again. I was expecting the event to be like Mad King or something, but noooo, this time they have to give significant rewards…

It’s your choice by not participating in the event, your own loss.

I had no problem with this on Gandara.

The whole Crucible of Eternity dungeon felt like a Metroid-ish experience to me. It had this mysterious feeling. And the Quaggans in the tanks at the beginning (Metroids in tanks?). It’s a cool dungeon.

There are a lot of things that need to be done, but I really hope they will do it.

We need a better scoring system, one that actual reflects good play.
Custom games (even custom tournaments).
Spectator Mode. (a must for eSports).
Replay’s (it’s very important to reflect back into your previous matches).
Matches need to feel varied and interesting to watch, if it’s too repetitive it will lose interest.

It is, it should get fixed, time is everything in PvP.

Not sure but don’t the camera’s have a centralized view? No matter the height? Or am I wrong?

I’m not sure if this has been requested before but it would be really nice to be able to zoom into first-person. At some points you could look around much better then third-person. You can enjoy sightseeing, get a better view when you want to take a look at other player’s characters and npc’s.

This is also a must-have for those (such as myself) who want to make all sorts of video’s.
It will allow them to get better camera angles, and their own character won’t be in the way all the time.

In it’s current state it’s nearly impossible to make music video’s, machinima and what not other then general gameplay video’s and livestreams.

Not sure if I’m in the right place but…
I am experiencing a buzzy sound in the background during gameplay.
And I am only experiencing this in GW2 and nothing else.

I have a Steelseries 7H gaming headset.

1. I tried stacking condition cleanses. It didnt really work that well, whatever you cleanse gets instantly re-applied and is back up to 10+ stacks of bleeds in a few seconds. Also you cant do anything about the thief while hes spamming his button, since he evades all attacks.

Might want to step out of that Caltrops.

And that doesn’t take very long.
Not just that, you lost, you have to deal with the consequences.

I disagree on this, people focus too much on a 1v1 basis while this game’s main focus is 5v5. Keeping an enemy in a downed state can also be used beneficial, you can delay him from respawning to give your team an advantage on the field.

That’s exactly a part of the problem with the downed state, you can keep someone in it almost indefinitely, depending on their profession of course. It was not designed for that purpose, it’s an exploit of the mechanic.

I’d rather see bypassing the downed state as an exploit as it gives you an advantage rather than giving the opponent a + for making use of such a tactic. It’s not like this happens often.

Honestly, I play Warrior most of the time aswell. Just play Mesmer for a time, get to know they skills and abilities. Same goes for Ranger and Thief, just get to know what they can do. You will figure out where the character is once you know what their skills are capable of. Characters in stealth can still be hit, although you can not see it. There is a trick however, your Chain Attack (skill number one) will change to the next skill once you have hit someone, that way you can be sure when you have hit someone. But seriously, stealthed characters can still be effected by all sorts of things, they just cannot be targeted or seen. You have to ’’think’’ where they are.

If they are going to make a variety of finishing animations it’s going to be a harder to see if someone is trying to finish someone. Timing is crucial is such occasions.

I disagree on this, people focus too much on a 1v1 basis while this game’s main focus is 5v5. Keeping an enemy in a downed state can also be used beneficial, you can delay him from respawning to give your team an advantage on the field.

@ Aramanth – he meant ’’char’’ as in character, not a Charr.

The current elite’s are pretty strong and can be game-changing, but it seems like you all want a ’’godmode’’ skill.

Summons and pets are just damage/support like regular attacks and spells are, but different. They keep class diversity and are part of a handful of variety of strategies.

Everyone loves getting Glory, but in it’s current state it’s not really rewarding for those who actually want to win their games.
I have found myself in many situations where I had to give up Glory points to help win the match.

Capturing
Capture Points only require 1 person to capture it. But a majority of players rather capture points with 3 or more, even when there is no opponent around.
For example, I have been running way up ahead to a Capture Point to neutralize it as fast as possible to prevent the opposing team from getting any more points, and I notice my team members are following me to ’’help’’ capture it. But when I ask them why they are ’’helping’’ me capture it they respond with: points. And in many situations I decide to make myself more useful and abandon to point and thereby gaining no addition points for making such a decision.

Solution a solution could be giving the lead capper (the one who entered it first) a larger amount of points then those who came in later. One problem with this is that let’s say there was a battle beforehand, whoever entered the Capture Point later he/she still gets a small amount of points while he/she put in the extra effort of fighting over the Capture Point. But this could solved by handing over the normal amount of points if Defender triggered within in ’’xx’’ seconds.

Holding In all honesty, I have seen a lot of players just moving out of the zone when they want to prevent me from capturing it. And because they do so they are losing the point and it becomes mine. But it those who are actually preventing others from taking it over should be rewarded with something.

Solution Those who do so should gain an ’’xx’’ amount of Glory every ’’xx’’ seconds they are able to hold the Capture Point while in combat (while the Capture Point is yours).

Guarding You know about those lonely guys who keep an eye on certain Capture Points to prevent others from capturing it. It’s quite important, but does not reward you. Sadly I currently do not have any idea’s on how to reward those. It’s not smart to let them gain points while they are in capturing zone because it’s not really the best spot to keep watch. The best places to keep watch is to just move out of zone and look for a nearby (high) spot so you have a better view in your area.

These are some of the points that popped into my mind to improve upon, I shall update this thread if anything new comes to mind.
