Wait what, so new minor WvW content and changes takes 3-6 months to make and balance while there is PvE patch every 2 weeks with new maps, recepies, features, items, npcs and 100 other things. Im not really into dev hating but just how stupid do you think we are? Atleast be honest and say you dont create content for WvW because you dont get revenues from this.
Please stop with this “every 2 weeks” nonsense. ANet has already said.. they have FOUR TEAMS working on the LS updates, each team taking 1-2 months for all of their content. IE the team that just put out the last update has been working on it since early June. It does not take 2 weeks to develop, test and polish any of the PvE updates. It’s a 4 team, rotation based update schedule.

Having Guard Stacks on a freshly made level 2 toon should not happen.
Sure, so let’s limit it to level 80’s only. Would that not fix that issue? Then you have to at least work at a class and know the class in PVE before you get the bonuses.
What if I got level 80 by crafting? Being lvl 80 doesn’t mean you know your class, build or what that class is good/bad at in WvW.
To me, character bound is a good idea. My warrior has sacrificed his life many times over to uphold the pride of my guild, why should my thief be rewarded for his bravery in the line of battle?

[Agg] should GvG [TW], after that you can see who the real number #1 guild is from NA atm. In the [Agg] history, they’ve lost from [TW] but got first because by defeating other guilds.
Will be interesting to see those 2 guilds fight If [Agg] isn’t scared to lose from [TW] so they lose their #1 rank of NA
Keep in mind, since they fought last AGG has had 4 GvGs (record of 4-0, 23-3) and TW has had 1 (1-0, 3-2).

Don’t listen to the fan boys and the people that have no life. I’m on your side OP. I feel that there should be no such thing as “Soulbound” or “Accountbound”. Everything should be tradable. It was like this with the weapons in GW1 actually. Weapons could change hands and be used by as many people as there possibly were in the game. The kicker though is that you had the option to “Customize” the weapon. If you customized the weapon the weapon had a 15% increase in damage but could only be used by that character and became non-tradable. They should have done the same in GW2.
So people who play all aspects of a game are instantly “fanbois” and “no lives”… Haha.
SB and Act Bnd is needed or else the prices on items would continue to drop because of over-supply.
No just people who are pro Soulbound and Account Bound have no lives and are fan boys. Or maybe a Fan Girl in your case based off of your user name? I play all aspects of the game too.
Tell me exactly why price dropping on items is a bad thing? I’d love to hear your reasoning.
I think your explanation of being “Pro-SB/Act Bnd = fanboi” should be the first thing heard, considering they have nothing to do with one another.
Already giving up on that argument are you? Since when did ANet become heavy into “Character Progression”? Did you experience heavy Character Progression in GW1? How much does playing all 8 of your classes really help in you sPvP and do you play on another account? I can’t find you on the tPvP Leaderboards anywhere. I didn’t look at the Solo Queue boards though….
Funny that you are just out to pick a fight…
ANet’s stance from Day 1 is that each character is their own progression. That’s why there is No Acct WvW ranks, No Acct Dyes, No Race changes, no profession changes. They’ve said this multiple times on these forums.
Playing all of my characters helps me in WvW. I don’t play sPvP/tPvP much, only rank 20 (mostly for Ach points). Knowing what builds people run on a meta-scale and how each class works, looks like, animations for skills help very much in small and large scale fighting in GW2.
So please, continue to try and fight a moot point with very little facts.
EDIT: Still not sure why supporting AcctBnd makes me a fanboi… Do I at least get a sticker? or maybe a Quaggan button??

Isn’t “wave” respawn time gated to only allow people to rez every 20 seconds? Wherever you die during that 20 second period is determines how much time to have to wait until you respawn. meaning, every one respawns at the same time like a wave.

Races are pretty much cosmetic- some are bigger or smaller visually, but their hitboxes are all the same. Pick the one that looks nicest to you.
Regarding the three classes you mentioned:
-Warrior: regarded as a strong PvE class due to its high damage, but tends to struggle in PvP.
-Thief: a strong PvP roamer class that is dependent on quick maneuvering and/or well-timed stealths to perform well.
-Guardian: a class that’s less mobile than others, but has a lot of tricks to heal and mitigate damage. A strong support class that is best in groups.
Overall, though, you should play the class whose playstyle you enjoy the most. Feel free to try them all out.
I agree with this, except that Warriors can be very good in PvP (both sPvP and WvW) current (1 of) the best CC builds with Maxe/Shield/Hammer and most hardcore WvW guilds run Guardian/Warrior heavy front-line melee groups. Warriors can put out condition removal, speed boosts, AoE CC all while having 2 forms of passive healing. Guardian is toughest class to bring down though.
I run a tanky/crit warrior in WvW and I’ve died probably twice in the last 2 weeks due to group play & proper set-up.
Honestly – I’d play all 3. I main a Thief (800 hours) and Warrior (400 hours) of my total 1500 hours played, I have 5 80s and other 3 are mid 40s.
gw2armor.com will allow you to look at sets of armor on different races/male&female to give you an idea of what they will look like.

I personally enjoy/ed playing all 8 of my toons, yeah there are some I play more than others (2 mains, PvE&WvW) but I played those so I could get used to the mechanics of all 8 classes, which is very helpful in sPvP.
ANet is very big on “Character based progression” – just remember that

. (You can make a support warrior, but you’ll never be as good as a guardian)
Is this true? Are you settling for less than the best you could be if you make a support, tank, or ranged DPS warrior; or do these people just not know how to spec and are blaming the game?
And if there is a primary focus for each class, could you please lay it out for me? They all seem to be able to do everything to me.
Yes. A guardian is better at support, warrior/ele right behind it.
Each class can do everything – but lots do it better than others…
It depends on what you are trying to spec for. PvE? WvW? sPvP? Tons of different builds and roles you can fill.
My PvE spec for my warrior is playing a thief (giggle) and my WvW spec for my warrior is passive heal, with quick weapon spots with high tough/vit/crit%/crit dmg and multiple stun breaks.

Fill out your roster, view rosters/classes (not builds), allowed spectators, food/oil/tonics allowed, or even the ability to set and approve extra rules..
Doesn’t this all happen anyway?
The only thing I would like to see added is a set Arena for guilds, cross-server, to do this.
Not that I’ve seen. I know gw2gvg.com has a section for it but it’s never filled out.
But yes, if you register a Guild for the GvG, you should be able to send/accept cross-server matches since the area would be instanced.
Knowing that fights like this will only happen when the “server match-up stars align” is kind of depressing..

THIS is why we need Structured GvG in Guild Wars 2.
Simply looked amazing. I would have LOVED to hear both teamspeaks during this fight.
Structured? There was nothing structured about that and it would be impossible to commentate in a competitive setting. This is what real GvG looks like. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFWvdyCk1Uo
Structured as in: Leaderboards, scoreboard rankings etc.. not structured as in “spvp + GvG” I’d hate to play a GvG with the set-up of sPvP.

It’s threads like these that portray tier 1 in a bad light. I don’t think every map had ques which were so long and this is an extreme case since JQ did this well in a matchup . But it could also be possible that all the PVE’rs are out for map completion.
I have a quote from someone on SoR saying that they don’t have a queue on all 4 BLs during all primetimes on a Tuesday night, and that’s why the recruited more guilds.
T1 is in a bad light because it’s “T1”. In a game where winning gives you no prize, a lot of people sure like winning.
No server can Queue all 4 maps on every prime time…I don’t know about SoR but Blackgate doesn’t even queue all 4 maps during NA prime (Normally). And its no secret SoR is trying to recruit SEA/OC guilds to combat BG, just like BG would like some EU to fight SoR.
It’s funny how some many people talk bad about T1 yet we still continually get guilds and people coming here…must not be that bad…

NA Guilds leaving from JQ to SoR for the lulz. Are you going to be the ones sitting out reset tonight because all 4 maps have completely queued coverage? Does not surprise me given the weak kitten constitution of those guilds. Winners winners chicken dinners.

That’s actually not true, we had low covered during NA primetime in one of our borderlands.
Poster was SoR.
People want to move where it’s easy – that’s why they move to T1. When you have more people to take up your slack, IE the casuals can sit back and wait for the hardcore guilds to provide a big lead, they start to play more. Where if you have a server with almost no hardcores and lots of casuals, you get people packing it in on Monday.

lol i did find it
LilMcGinley.3890
Until JQ is no longer the automatic qualifier for 3rd spot and then SoR/BG posters will be complaining that the match-up algorithm is “messed up” because you’ll be playing FA/TC/DB every week.
SykkoB.9465
with the way the RNG system works that wont happen. TC will come up once they face kittenain, and when they do they will eat up alot of RNg from both sor and bg. TC will take JQ spot and t1 will be locked again. Atleast for a month or so
WTH it censored D B and the word again
My point was more in line that TC doesn’t have the same WvW staying power that JQ has, even with some guilds leaving. It will be interesting to see but I do think BG and SoR will have a lot of 1v1s with a random 3rd server not really ‘showing up’ like JQ has over time.
TC has a good population, but not one where guilds will come out to play when backed into a corner or losing overall.

Yeah but understand me, reaching 90 lvl would be pretty easy ( 10mill exp ? from one Cof run you gain about 150k, map exploring would give very fun) and gathering high tier items would change only in PvE, not in PvP or 3W and wouldn’t give some MEGA stats like shoulder with 1k armor, just a little better stat that if you’re good, you can solo some instances (or duo,or trio, or quatro)
As long as PvE armor is used in WvW, this won’t happen. This is the gear grind they will not put into the game.
Just look at the backlash of the player base when they announced Asc items…
What’s the point of making your level 90 “easy” when 80 is already easy enough? Just to add in some crazy powerful weapons and Legendaries?

I’d love to see a “peaceful Orr”.. kind of like the difference between Adult and Child Link in OoT… Could have the same chains where some Asura experiment went wrong and BOOM evil Orr is trying to take over.. talk about room for expansion on both Living Story and Personal Story, not to mention plenty of new events to work on.
Yeah it would be nice if we could have something similar to fractals, except that it’s not a dungeon but a whole map of an alternate reality that we can revisit.
So we could actually see how Orr was before it got flooded, with all the temples and high structures.
Didn’t even think of that.. That would actually be really frigging cool… I’m not a lore guy by any means but I’d be very interested in reading about the “Fall of Orr” if I was able to play through the “Old Orr”.
If I could vote for new zones, it would be “good versions” of SoD, ML and CS. Being able to progress through those zones preventing the Fall of Orr via events would be really cool.
If the rewards are worth it and the events don’t break, I don’t think this would fracture the player base, it would bring us together to both bring the current Orr to a state of no corruption and prevent the “Old Orr” from being overrun by said corruption. Not to mention “good” version of all the Temple Armors with God symbols could be possible.
This could actually be an expansion’s worth of content, and the lore could be adjusted appropriately.
Just mention that the brilliant asura have once again researched a way to introduce fractals on a massive scale.
And don’t forget returning to old Ascalon! Would be nice to revisit the events of the Searing Cauldron.
Heck, they can probably do Pre-Searing too!
ANet’s new team “LilMcVol” creating GW2’s next expansion…
You said a lot of lore stuff I quite frankly don’t understand (probably because I didn’t play GW1) but I do think this would be very cool and is something I’d be interested in seeing in the game.
It’s 3 new zones – people been dying for new zones.
It’s 3 whole sets of Events, more meta events, more temples to save.
It’s 3 new ways and areas to introduce parts of the Living Story – revisiting old events could play a MASSIVE role in terms of the next 3-5 years of Guild Wars 2.
I’m getting too excited about this… back to work.

These tiers def have more stand-alone guilds that want to fight without needing double the numbers to finally decide to push in. Keep it up!
When you cant find fights that fit your size the easiest solution is to disperse to multiple parts that work for what you are fighting.
Doesn’t work when the instant you see any Red they run into a tower/keep.
What does the enemy running into towers have to do with breaking into smaller units?
Because even if you break into small groups they still run from you… under coverage of their arrow carts and guards.

If they gave you points for sitting on a cap, then you’d see hotjoin farmers have zergs that sit on cap and get 300 points every game.
Its too easy exploited, if your doing nothing you get nothing that’s how I see it. Unfortunately life as bunker is doing nothing that’s why many solo que’ers don’t play bunker because they have that itch to always be doing something even if it means going far after you beat everyone at mid and get there kitten wooped 1v5, 2v5 style. “where they at? oh well I’ll go far… omg nobody helped me, if you guys helped me I’d won that 1v5”
Not sitting ON a cap point, but actively defending it from attackers, there is a big difference. Yes I agree, sitting out of combat on a cap point shouldn’t give points, but defending it should reward you better than it does.

In this I’ve ditched endure and defy pain, and replaced it with cleansing ire, and either fgj or shake it off. (Still deciding.) I’ve worked more crit chance and crit damage in at the cost of some pvt. I’ve changed the hammer sigil and will carry a prec. one on a separate weapon. Annnd I went a bit out of tactics trait line and into discipline for burst mastery.
This build should regularly have ~10 might stacks and really high fury uptime to get more crits, so I’m hoping that this is a good mix of survivability, damage and CC.
Looks good. I would DEF use a Perception Sigil to get stacks and then switch after 25. Paralyzation wouldn’t be my first choice though. The 15% boost on a 2s stun is 2.3 seconds, not making it long enough to count for an extra tick. With 60% Crit damage, 31% crit (with Fury) isn’t that great.

More importantly, when will outmanned buff really provide a credible buff for being outmanned. Perhaps something like +7% to vit/tuff/healing
Already said it won’t because it would become a means of player’s griefing others in order to keep that boost. IE a group yelling at other players to leave the map so they can keep the extra stats.

And I happen to enjoy map-zerg vs map-zerg vs map-zerg clashes at garrison. What you are describing is open field fights, so why don’t you ask for something different, like gvg or structured zvz? Don’t try to change something others enjoy because you think ‘more than 100 people is pushing it’ I happen to enjoy un even battles too, whether I am on the outmanned side or on the outnumbering side. Also, don’t assume we are fighting in large zergs because of petty rewards. My server, BG, is most effective after reset when we have 5 guilds on each map running separately and helping eachother out when need be. But on weekdays, we can’t do that obviously because of lack of commanders etc.
If you read the forums, you would see PLENTY of people asking for organized GvG… there simply is NO PLACE in GW2 that you can do it except for WvW.
I don’t want to change map-zerg vs map-zerg because that’s lagfest for both parties, therefore, even ground as stupid as it may be (to me). My problem is when a map-zerg wants to fight 30 people. There is simply nothing the group of 30 can do to give them a snowballs chance in hell to make it anywhere close to an even fight or have a chance of surviving. That is when some form of “debuff” needs to be implemented.
Choke points and terrain only goes so far when they have enough numbers to simply ignore the AoE limits and push through.
ANet said they were “working on ways” to make smaller groups more effective and I really hope it’s something good.

I think I’d rather a bonus based on score for winning and losing then individual scoring. As someone who covers home point I am always sacrificing getting more points because I’m not in the large fights getting lots of kills compared to others.
This is what I hate.. someone willingly sacrifices points for the good of team, yet you aren’t rewarded in the slightest. These are the guys I want to play with.
I would assume, at least I think of, people wants debuffs for groups of 50, 60 or even 80… 30-35 would be the ‘average’ guild group size so this doesn’t/wouldn’t effect them unless they all want to run together in a 600 range (which is really small for 50 people)
I like those garrison fights were all servers have a full map zerg.
I like all the fights that are that big, garrison just happens to be my favorite.
I prefer the open field.
No siege. No towers. No camps. No keeps. Just us versus you and a whole lotta bags in one of our near futures. A straight up fight is the most fun you can ask for in WvW, provided the skill lag doesn’t show up to make it miserable for everyone.
Honestly, it’s just overdue for a GvG 25 vs 25 mode that contributes to the winning server’s world score…but I guess its asking to much of Guild Wars 2 to give us guild wars…clearly I’m filled with unrealistic expectations.
Agreed. GvG is looked down on the NA side, but honestly, it is gaining ground and I couldn’t be happier. I just don’t see the allure of sitting in a tower or keep pushing upgrades for magical points that mean absolutely nothing. I’d rather go toe to toe with and against great players on a nightly basis. When we all leave GW2, who is gonna have the better memories?
“yeah we played ppt for 2 years and I got my supply mastery achievement and tons of arrow cart kills”
or
“dude you remember that 1 fight …?” “no man, this fight was better and here’s the video” “you guys are stupid, remember that GvG where x-person lost his kitten because we lost 1 round hahahhahaa HE MAD”

I would assume, at least I think of, people wants debuffs for groups of 50, 60 or even 80… 30-35 would be the ‘average’ guild group size so this doesn’t/wouldn’t effect them unless they all want to run together in a 600 range (which is really small for 50 people)

On second thought I’ve never been crazy bout stacking sigils in WvW. Instead of a stacking sigil what about Emerald jewels instead of Beryl with the oil of course? Would bring stats to:
Attack: 3082
Crit: 19% (20% dmg)
Armor: 3470
HP: 27052
Stacking sigils are better. Orb is such low stats for what you are replacing. 250 prec or 20 power 2 % crit 14 vit..

I don’t normally run with a Zerg, since my when I’m playing usually doesn’t line up with the ZvZ action. But I’d like to transition from my current build which is decent for solo, and pretty nice for small groups to something that’ll be better in larger scale fights without going full shout healing. I think what you suggested may work.
Switch to oil.
Impact on Hammer
Perception on Sword
Restoration on Warhorn
Balanced Stance is only in there because I really don’t know what else to slot. In my current build I’m running Dolyak, Bull’s Rush, Stomp/Signet of Fury. I don’t need Bull’s Rush now that I have the Sword, and I really want to transition from Signet of Fury to Stomp. I’ll mess around with what to replace Balanced Stance with. Possibly EP or SIO.
Well kitten don’t listen to my advice.. I only run melee train spec.. I don’t want to mislead you. I only roam on my thief sadly which means diddly squat here
Those 4 items are a good starting point and I hope my suggestions don’t put you out too much Gold. I’m sure one of these other great warriors will be able to further advance your roaming build.
