Guild Wars 2

Too late, my team mates haven’t come
All the thieves went back to Mine

→As previously stated, running skill gives you more distance the more you push the skill activation button… I too found something iffy when 1-2 people seemed to run 3 times farther then I, using the same skill (and they were usually the winner/2nd place), until I took the time to read what skills actually do xD
→Using items from crates can be very beneficial, take your time to familiarize yourself with what each item does
→Pick up stone skill can help you, or others, take out that nasty player that nobody can catch.. tossing stone has 600 range and AFAIK dazes for 2 seconds
→As far as “lag” goes, the issue with unresponsiveness after using running skill, issue with running after trying to pick up something while being dazed etc. are all known issues that have been there since the release, best I can offer is to get accustomed to them and try not to lose too much nerves when something like that screws your game up
→Getting Crabtacular achievement is not hard once you grow accustomed to the game. The trick is to keep the zerg together and focused on you while you focus on where the karkas are.. not to mention that this is the best way to ensure you are victorious xD

I know I can’t change anyone’s mind about the minigame, but I do hope these tips at least prove themselves useful for anyone having difficulty obtaining achievements.

no escape from Tpvp

open your game browser
look up to the empty servers and see

im just a hotjoin hero, i need no strategy

because I’m easy join, easy quit

Just to add my name to those who are having the same issue.

Just adding my 2 cents in this whole… discussion ?

I’m on T3 server, played around a couple of hours in WvW, defended and took stuff (spent most of the time on the offense)… Never had a problem with AC damage, but what I did found annoying was the fact that the range of traited AC’s was very close to the range of catapults. This coupled with the fact that there is no trait line for catapults makes catas almost as useless as rams in the current state of the game.
Maybe we could get catapult trait line along with ram trait line and a change in ram mechanics (having multiple people able to equip rams with skills that reduce damage dealt to rams from siege for example)… Treb trait line wouldn’t hurt either.

All in all, I don’t see what all the fuss is about buffed AC’s.. I do see how you need allot more coordination and higher level thinking before storming the towers/keeps, and I like that.
As for the the guilds who are into WvW just for a good romp, I know that it’s not the solution, but now you can rent your own server which allows for 10v10 battles. I know it’s not real GvG, but it’s as close as it gets with the exception of arranged guild duels in WvW, but if you are already focused on those the AC buff doesn’t really affect you.

Again, my 2 cents.

For this patch: drawing on the minimap is working.

When playing, you now your teammate’s profession icons (you don’t just see a green dot, you would see a Warrior, or Ele, or Thief, etc.).

Excellent. So instead of fixing the solo que to prevent premade roflstomps, you decided to let these guys draw genitalia representations on the mini map.

/golf clap

Perhaps a bit harsher than I would have said it, but there were certainly more useful things (quick text, betting pinging, etc) that surely couldn’t be too tough to implement. I’m having a hard time visualizing how icons will help people in pugs decide whether they should help close point or stay at mid.

-You see that a warrior from your team is on mid point, quick look to the team rooster shows that he’s got tons of conditions on him and his HP is dropping rapidly thus you conclude that there are at least 2 people trying to take him down.
-Your ranger is on close point, his HP is full, no conditions nor pre-combat boons on him -> close point is most likely safe atm, move to the next objective.
-Your thief is constantly bunkering mid point, while your guardian has moved to close point. Tell the thief to roam and let the guardian take care of the mid point.

I’m rank 34 and most of the time in PvP I’ve spent doing tourneys.
Today was the first time I was 100% certain that a player was using speed hack (you can’t have " chilled" debuff and use lag-like movement to run faster then a toon without any conditions on him).

The thing is, when I proceeded to report the individual in question, I couldn’t find a relevant category for my report, thus I’ve reported said individual for botting. However, I’m certain nothing will come out of my report, so my question is: has anyone successfully reported a player in s/tpvp and did that endevor result in a ban ? If so, which steps should one make to ensure cheater will be investigated and possibly removed from the game ?
I’m guessing using video capture is a good start, but for starters where should one upload such proof ?

Just logged in again and all of the missing recipes are back. Laurel items are still missing tho.

While leveling my huntsman skill I’ve noticed that I’m missing refinement recipe for darksteel ingot.. Switched to another char that has higher crafting level and access to the same recipe only to find even more recipes missing.
As you can see on images neither my huntsman nor weaponsmith has access to darksteel ingots (even tho weaponsmith has access to darksteel dowel) and armorsmith only has 1 refinement recipe available with lvl 300.

Probably unrelated but I’ll mention it just in case, the “one-time purchases” from laurel vendor vent missing even tho I haven’t used them.

While gw2db lists allot of Mystic Forge items, it doesn’t provide many recipes for said items (or I’m failing to find them anywhere except in some comments).
Wiki does on the other hand provide allot of recipes, but most of them are all over the place so if I just want to browse for example I’d have jump from page to page all the time…

I was thinking of something more along the lines of how current crafting lists are organized on various sites, with filters, menus and such… Something that is easy to navigate through and find what you are looking for (for example all rare/exotic axes and skins).

Is there a regularly updated site or a blog with comprehensive list of all known Mystic Forge recipes ?

I think I’ve read/heard somewhere that FotM levels are going to be reset once every week. I’ve been trying to find more info on the subject or backtrack to the source of the information but I’ve failed to manage either.

Are the FotM levels going to be reset and if so, what is the exact reset period ? A link to official information would be much appreciated.

Took me ~1 hour to finish the tower the first time, then did it 5 more times with different characters, none of them were norn or char… The only real problem I’ve had was the camera on the first stretch, but after a couple of times you just learn when to jump…
IMHO it all comes down to the time it takes for individual to learn the layout, big characters may be an minor issue, but you can always just let them a meter or two in front of you if you can’t overtake them…

I never understood why people complain about night capping… The system is designed that eventually the servers with better average coverage and/or organization will come out on top.. Of course, we’d all like that equilibrium comes sooner rather then later, but let’s not forget patience is a virtue…

For example it’s almost a certainty at this point that next week’s top tier will be contested between Vizunah, Arborstone and Elona.. All three servers have massive night coverage, so that tier is for the most part balanced as far as that is concerned.. After a couple of more weeks all 27 servers will be balanced and night capping issue will be for the most part eliminated, leaving population and organization as more relevant requirements for victory…

Why not be happy that (speaking about my server only of course) SF has one of the lowest (if not the lowest) populations of EU servers, but is ranked 6th.. and if you have ambitions bigger then your current abilities I’d suggest you do something about them instead of complaining, like actively searching for guilds/people who’d transfer to your server and play during the night time.. my 2 cents of course.

-random guy that just transferred to SF
