god I hate siege. ruins the game mode.
if siege existed in cs go, it would be like spamming smg that hit everything in a 10 meter radius at sniper rifle distance. behind cover.
“OMG YES we should introduce a mechanic that allows 1 noob to be equal to a guild group of 20!! IDEA GREAT SUCH GUISE!”

I think it’s essential to have systems where just one person can be useful against a big group. Otherwise, WvW would simply be a numbers game. But I do agree that excessive seige can be annoying.

Eternal Coliseum – red, closer to the offensive artifact.

azyume.6321:

Do you never get tired of your nerf DH threads?

Anyway, you play DH and I’ll play Rev. You can guess which one will win but I’ll give you a hint, not the DH. The so OP profession has a hard counter! Who would have thought!

Revs aren’t even our biggest weakness. Any decent ranger/engi can kill us with ease.

imo bell should not have the snowball mechanic. Should be 25 points every time it caps. The fact that it could go to 50 and 75 makes everyone too dependent on it.

/thread

There is still a GvG community in GW2. But it’s not an official game mode like it should be. It’s usually done in Obsidian Sanctum or EotM (guild hall arena has mechanical problems) — guilds will do 15v15 or 20v20 fights. That’s where the guild competition is.

Fortunately I did not play during the time that was rolled back, but I know it must be frustrating for those who did. People who played for the full 2+ hours probably feel like they wasted all that time, but think of it this way: If you were having fun, did you really waste any time?

During the downtime, I realized that the game is not about the achievements and gold that we end up with. It’s about the enjoyment that we get out of playing, and the time we spend with our friends, regardless of the pixel rewards that we earn. Your character may be rolled back, but that doesn’t take the experience away.

Props to anet for handling the situation as best as they could, and keeping the community updated throughout the day.

As a DH main: kitten this list

I second that. kitten this entire kittenty list.

Can I get an amen?

HotM was quite active today. Had someone playing one of those musical instruments to provide entertainment, and a bunch of people gathered around and talked about their position in the current season.

Some of the first people to get on the legendary leaderboard were there too, just hanging out and showing off the badge. HotM will always be fun during seasons

When rangers respawn after dying, their pets spawn at the location of the ranger’s dead body before teleporting to the proper spawn location.

This is annoying for PvP players who set necro marks or, in my case, dragonhunter traps, because the pets will trigger the traps, completely wasting any trap I had put down.

Nice clickbait title. The other day my game crashed, but I got back into the match and we still ended up winning. Had I not returned, we would have lost for sure. So only stay logged off if you know your team will lose.

gavyne.6847:

But for now, just know that they aren’t floating away. If you stay at exactly where they went downstate in the first place, you can continue to damage them, and stomp them. The mistake people make is assuming they should chase after floating downstate players.

For most cases, you’re right. But today, I had someone sliding across the floor and I had to follow him to continue doing damage. He did not stay at the original downed location. I think the bug is inconsistent in that regard.

I also crashed today during a match. Luckily we still won, but it was still very annoying.

There was no crash report, I just got the message that my game client disconnected from the servers or something along those lines. No internet problems on my end. Had to alt+F4 to restart my client.

I play Dragonhunter.

I have trouble with engis and rangers unless they are really bad.
Revs and warriors – it can go either way, depending on how skilled they are.
Most of the time I kill mesmers, unless they are really good.
Necros, thieves, and eles stand no chance.

Also, I can beat most other guardians ez

Ruru.1302:

Lucred.1802:

1 guard per team is balanced. Multiple guards on a team make a point uncappable short of 2v5 with skilled players.

And the matchmaker does this entirely too frequently (like every game), with a team full of DH’s about 1 in 20 matches.

Guardians, imo, are not overpowered. The reason you see a lot of people solo queuing as guardian, is because the class is much less reliant on teammates than other classes. Classes like ele and druid are much more support based, so they require other teammates who know how to put out damage. Classes like necro are mostly damage based, and they require healing support from their teammates. Guardians can deal good damage, and support themselves with heavy heals and blocks. They don’t need to rely on teammates (who are likely to be bad at the game).

The real problem is the matchmaking system pairing good players with bad players to “balance” the teams out. If you put me on a team with people who know what they are doing, I wouldn’t have to run guardian.

The essential question here is: Why does ANet punish people for being good at the game?

Make the teams random please. Putting me on a team with baddies every time because I win too much is really pushing me away from PvP. I play hard every game to achieve a high win/lose ratio, but I’m not here to carry anyone.

Yes, like I have stated in the title, I have a problem with the Proofs of Heroics currency. Before it became a wallet-able currency, I used to stock them in my bank. But somehow a part of it remained after the patch and now I cannot transfer them into my wallet, or give it to my bank character. It sticks in my bank and occupies a slot (I can change the slot though, that is a silver lining)

I have been sending bug reports, requests screenshots etc for a month now an I got no answer. CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE? HELLOOOOOO?

ps: I am a little bit frustrated about this thing. And just a tad bit angry for not getting a response.

I would send a ticket to customer support describing the situation. They are very helpful and they might have the power to manually transfer the proofs to your wallet. Click Support at the top of the website, and then click “Submit a Request”

Hey guys,
since there is not much to do right now in this game I made a little casual roaming compilation with my cancer druid for anyone interested.

Featuring:

• tryhards
• human female in underwear
• Smokescale-Portal-kill (serves that mesmer right for playing condi!)
• GS 4 kills
• a pretty unlucky gankthief

Already sold by the second argument?

McKenna Berdrow.2759:

We will be adding a red circle to the incendiary mortar skill to better display the area that burning is applied.

This sounds like a great fix. I play on the lowest quality — not sure if that makes a difference, but I would always get annoyed with burning stacks from mortar shots that I could not visibly detect on the ground.

The burn stacks are not the problem and are not overpowered (in my opinion); the problem was always not being able to see where you can stand. Thanks for this info, can’t wait to see how it plays out in-game.

Norbe.7630:

what happened these past few months…?
never seen Lions Arc so empty since i started playing gw2….

If this was after WvW reset, it makes sense to me. Lots of players wait on the WvW portals in Lion’s Arch until the matches change, and jump into the new match right away. They could easily fill up Lion’s Arch, and when they all leave it could probably feel empty.

At least that’s my best guess.

Everyone knows Rata Sum is the best place to craft. So organized!

Boingo.5264:

Gratz to TC on their win. They were clearly fighting hard all week. I’ve been on BG since GW2 first came out, and I have to say that BG numbers in WvW were definitely down last week. I don’t know why, but they were.

Thanks, was a fun match

A lot of us were pulling massive overtime this week. Props to everyone who came out and made this week a great one.

Balthazzarr.1349:

ha somehow I missed it in that thread…

Having said that, it’s definitely a pain when you think of it. I mean at the end of the day I could possibly be verified on 24 different Team Speak servers… Talk about the awesome spy possibilities! lol .. so it’s not surprising that some people don’t even want to post their TS channels anymore. I mean, I’m already verified on 8 different TS servers… I don’t use any except what a commander is using, but the exposure is obviously there for abuse by people that like to do that.. so as I said above.. I get it if people don’t want to share with the linked servers.. :P

Either way you’ll have spies. It’s a good idea for the TS administration to assign server groups for players in other servers, so they can be denied access when they are not paired.

Well I’m not sure if it’s balacend, but I do think it’s balanced

Elementalist Owner.7802:

Idk why people are voting for simultaneous borderlands. One server having a different BL might not be fair. Not to mention, it doesn’t make sense having mixed borderlands unless all three maps are different. Now that would be a cool idea.

I think part of the reason is because it’s quarterly rotation, when it should rotate every week to keep things fresh. A quarter is just too long.

As I told my kids as they were growing up. Life is NOT fair and never will be. If it was the same server getting the same BL everytime then that would just be wrong.. but it won’t be that way. Would love to have 3 different BL’s… but since we only have a choice between the same one everywhere and 2 +1 different then I like the idea of one different over all the same.. just my opinion of course

I definitely see your logic. Also, as others have already mentioned, I understand simultaneous BLs would give players the option to choose which BL they want to play on, which is a great thing.

It’s a tough decision honestly. Lots of different opinions and factors to consider.

Lol the “toxic forums” are down right now. ANet needs to give us our matchup threads back.

Ithilwen.1529:

The community has been asking for the"Holy Trinity" for years. The new Ele is the old monk.

I for one really like having a healer class. As a cleric ele, I can seldom down anyone. I can survive and prevent a decap 1v1 or more. My main job though is to stay as close to my damage dealers as possible and pour boons on them.

Now if I could also do serious damage, ( other than by easily interrupted overloads, ) that would be an issue.

I actually think the bunker ele is not overpowered in team fights or the actual fighting aspect of the game — it works and makes the fight interesting.

But, with the conquest scoring system, they can survive on capture points forever and really juice the points until the game ends. That’s where I see them being overpowered, because the scoring system really works in their favor.

Aveigel.2601:

total amount of compound defensive buffs they can get is too much to deal on the power side…I could never kill an adept ele in a 1v1 with this, while I can rip a new one to every other class in the game…including engis.

I also have trouble taking town bunker eles in 1v1s. I don’t find this annoying or unfair, because they are fully defensive, so it should take more than one player to take them down. What I find annoying, is that even though the fight is a stalemate, they are still getting all the points from the capture point you are fighting over. They can’t win the fights, but in the end they earn the most points.

I thought individual points are meaningless. Regardless, why shouldn’t they get the points if they helped contribute to capturing the point and holding it? I don’t understand. It’s the same with the old bunker guardians, chrono bunkers etc.

When I say points, I mean the overall game score. Not personal points. Sorry for the confusion, there are too many types of “points” in PvP lol.

I agree, a bunkers job is to hold capture points, not fight. But bunker ele in it’s current state is the absolute king of holding down capture points, and there isn’t much you can do about it, especially in solo que. Just think it’s a bit overpowered, and the teams with bunker eles have a huge advantage.

Thanks for the replies. After reading the first two, I will say that a bunker ele does not automatically ensure victory. There are exceptions, and good strategy can outplay the other team even if they have the bunker.

Nonetheless, I do still think that bunker ele in it’s current state is broken. If everyone is solo queuing, bunker eles generally contribute the most to the overall score. They can secure points for ages, while other players are fighting over capture points and not earning any points for the team. My suggestion is to somehow balance it out, so that players who go killing and capturing or decapping, contribute to the score as much as the players who survive on capture nodes. Whether that means nerfing the bunker ele or changing the way points are earned in conquest, I don’t really know. But I do think something should be done.

So I don’t know if ArenaNet plans to fix this, but right now I can determine the outcome of the match based on which team has the better bunker ele…

Problems I see with this:
1. If one team has a bunker ele and the other team does not, the team with the bunker ele will most likely win. It’s not fun knowing the outcome before the match even starts.
2. Eles who don’t use the standard bunker builds are useless. There is no room for build variety here because we NEED the bunker ele to win.
3. This one is more opinion-based, but player versus player is a place where you should be fighting other players. While I do think bunkers deserve a place in PvP, I do not think the outcome of the match should heavily rely on players who don’t actually kill other players. The match should be based on who could fight the best, not who can stay on a captured point and survive the longest.

This is just a quick post I wanted to make to see if anyone else noticed this problem. I understand not everyone will agree with me, so let me know if you think I’m wrong on any points.

Here is a screenshot I took showcasing the bug. As you can see, the mini map shows the commander tag in the correct location, but on screen it’s bugged into a fixed location.

Incurafy.6329:

How dare you insinuate that Anet is doing this on purpose. It’s childish, unnecessary, and completely illogical.

Here’s a tip: before blaming someone or something, make sure it’s likely to be intentional first.

Please do not put words in my mouth. I did not say or imply that this connection error was intentional, and claiming such would make you a liar.

I was simply stating that if ANet would rather hire people to develop things like Crab Toss instead of people who keep the servers running, they need to reevaluate their priorities. I say things that may brush off as hostile because I enjoy this game and I wish the best for it.

Same for me.. This error is not on my end, as my internet connection is running very smoothly for everything other than GW2.

Here’s a tip ANet: if you make people pay for your game, let them play it.

DtC.4806:

All i can say is, get a public teamspeak that everyone on the server uses.

DR does indeed have a public, server-wide Teamspeak that nearly all guilds use.

Evilzara.6378:

We were in your position 13 weeks in a row. What we did is improve.

I wasn’t at DR garrison in this instance so I can’t really say anything (although I highly doubt BP could cap anything without 5:1 numbers), but I find this statement hilarious. If by improve you mean “get more numbers” this statement would be correct.

Whether you like it or not, BP is a zerg server. With your numbers you should easily be in tier 4, if not tier 3, but you are left in tier 5 due to your lack of skill and tactics. Just another IoJ here everybody, nothing more to see.

Dream In A Dream.7213:

Elementalist Owner.7802:

This is what happens when BP tries to camp me

(if you’re confused about the last picture, I had killed them so much that they just waited at their spawn for me to leave — When I was killing them at the spawn, although they kept jumping down after dying while I was still on combat, I still farmed them until they stayed at the portal LOL)

Dude, farming pve players is a bit sad. Especially with your setup.
The video from above was great. This is sad.

Lion of the Wind
RgTg/SoCo

Notice the “when BP tries to camp me”

I have yet to find a single BP that hasn’t ran from me 1v1. A shame zerg servers always win against organized servers.

btw this signet warrior is quite possibly the worst player I’ve ever come across in WvW, just to throw that in here lol

mexay.3902:

I’d just like to point out that whoever the Devona’s Rest thief was that STOLE A GOLEM BLUEPRINT outside of FC’s tower in front of your spawn just now is an absolute jerk. Seriously? Stealing BLUEPRINTS that people are donating to a commander?

You effectively just stole 1 gold. This is not okay. This is a new low for your server. I’m disgusted by this. As if you would steal items from other players. I don’t like resulting to name-calling, but you’re absolute scum.

Stealing is not okay.

First you guys start placing spies on our server, now you’re stealing blueprints when people are donating them? I wouldn’t be surprised if you start exploiting next. Are you so insecure about your server that you feel the need to result to such things? This is not in the spirit of World vs World. You’re just getting worse and worse as a server.

Does this even require a response? Your fault for dropping it in front of the enemy SPAWN… Cry more. We’re not scum because you make mistakes. And if you think that DR is sending spies, you have a lot to learn buddy.

Leave it to an IoJ to be stingy over a golem.. Can’t blame them when half of their golems run under oil and die.

KinkyGiraffe.4123:

Look at the map…Youre getting more ppt by wiping FC off the map (thus lowering their ppt), not by attacking us. Youre keeping us back and dominating FC borderlands and you reckon you have half our numbers? You havin a laugh or what mate jesus

Winning is winning, if we need to hurt FC in doing so, then so be it. That’s not playing for second, that’s called strategy. Apparently it worked considering we are first in potential points, maybe you could learn a thing or two from DR.

Mini Me Three has returned! Isn’t is such a coincidence that we haven’t seen him since April when we were in a match with IoJ.. and now he magically decided to come back when we’re facing you guys again?

It’s so obvious you guys are sending spies that it’s laughable. IoJ is bad in-game and at sending spies. At least have him join a DR guild or something. And come on, an Asura Guardian? That’s a little obvious, you gotta work on your spying HARD!

Found this little guy in EB at first, was speaking to him for a while until I said, “I’ll post these screenshots on the forums if you don’t leave!” and to my surprise, he did leave. Then, I decided that there’s no way he actually left, so I went to search borderlands. The first one I check was IoJ bl because obviously they would want a spy on their own BL – and what do you know? I find Mini Me!

So much for not seeing any spies this match. Oh am I still a forum warrior? Do you still need more evidence? Aw, it’s cute when IoJ realizes they’ve been caught. I want to see this one myself.

Joycey.7205:

And Elementalist O was the one who just assumed he was in our roster without any proof. Talk about losing any “shred of respect” l o l.

-Every objective we went to capture on that night had just about all of HARD waiting there with a ton of seige somehow knowing where we were going to be. Our next objective was often unpredictable, yet they always “predicted” it without any struggle and had all of their forces there already.

-HARD was never able to predict where we were going before this “Mini” character showed up.

-Whichever map Mini was on, HARD was on as well. They came as a set package.

-When our commander turned his sigil off and stopped using /map chat to communicate, HARD magically stopped being a problem to us, only appearing after we contested our objective.

I mean come on, how do you expect anybody to reason with you if you are oppressing the evidence so much? To me and likely many others, that qualifies as more than enough evidence. But whatever, I don’t even care about Mini anymore. I’m just glad I haven’t seen anything this match.

KinkyGiraffe.4123:

You clearly have, didnt get anywhere when trying to attack us (went for fully upgraded garrison over paper gate hills…not the BRIGHTEST idea)

So you have to pick on poor FC whose playing for second now? LOL

Playing for second? Look at the potential points. Your picture contradicts your statement. You can’t say kitten if we were beating you in potential points with less than HALF of your numbers.

SmoothChaos.5397:

so when you get into a matchup with a server that equals your coverage (cough darkhaven cough) you don’t get absolutely laughed at, doesn’t concern me.

urbanevil.7145:

YAWN More complaining, i guess were all supposed to run around in pairs? Keep patting yourself on the back for wrecking pug’s SO MUCHZ SKILLLLZZZ ZOMG. I guess when we took your bay and held off DR + FC at the same time and capped on reset night (we go [HARD]), we were doing something wrong? I mean heck u guy’s do have a penchant for running in as pair’s and getting wiped lol.. So tired of the complaining from DR, i run FRAP’s quite alot and have plenty of footage of you guy’s getting crapped on.. 3 of us engaged 8+ (after u chased us across the lake) and u got not only wiped, but the 1 or 2 that lived ran away then ran back and got wiped. Show some testicular fortitude and some dignity, heck reset night someone from FC hopped on our TS and thanked us for the good fights, that’s called class! Im done posting in this thread, the forum warrior’s are a joke lol (ZOMG WE HAZ SPYS? what a joke..). Prop’s to FC.

Lol if you have all that footage, then where is it? Sure we get crapped on by IoJ.. when they have 3x our numbers in the battle. I wasn’t there reset night so I cannot say anything, but I highly doubt with equal numbers IoJ was able to hold. You guys go HARD? More like you go down HARD.

Haven’t seen any spies this match, but I know for a fact that in previous matches you guys have sent spies (HARD officer admitted to it)

I’ll be having fun roaming in IoJ BL for the rest of this match if you need me, you guys give good loot.
