If anyone have some tips on how to get some socializing done in PvP I would like to hear it. Thought about if there are only pvp guild where you can quickly find a team without to much time organizing that is, but havn’t come to shot.
I didn’t know you were suppose to socialize with the people you are trying to kill. New hunger games movie with a giant tea party in the arena?
Precursers are the problem for most people. This isn’t even the most expensive part if you buy everything outright and put it together.
They are giving you the option to craft them, 1 precurser of each type per account. Most likely they will be account bound because of this. Also, it is most likely the rest of the Legendary crafting process will remain the same. You just now have the ability to craft the Pre instead of trying RNG or buying off TP. The mats to craft the pre will most likely be between 500 & 1k gold to buy mats outright (depends on which pre). This is because they will not, as they never have, want to hurt the market and tank current pre’s prices. Might be a little cheaper in mats than buying a pre outright, but probably not much. The price difference will come in with time spent having to unlock the ability to even craft the thing.
We got 1 vote for AI Reve..a solid choice always. Another says Cele Reve damage is horrible (Spoiler: He has not played the class).
Doesn’t sound like they will have AI, but I guess we will see maybe at Pax? From how they described the class, I am not sure how or what they would give it as AI. Maybe the elite might have some sort or legendary pet… Can’t wait!
Or maybe a mini army of Ascolonian soldiers as pets. I think human character AI that doesn’t clone skills would shake things up a bit. Rangers and mele that can cripple/ knockdown. Epic
Rank means nothing………………Skill means everything. If someone quit because rank 80 was easier to get to, they probably were hiding their horrible skill behind their high rank they had to grind.
I don’t remember people quitting GW2 all together because lvl 80 was to easy to get to in PvE compared to other MMO’s. People were happy. I don’t remember people quitting the game after tomes were introduced allowing players to get insta 80 on new characters…….
Makes no sense…
Also, if they quit, I am pretty sure you won’t hear from them because they aren’t here….they quit.
Who going to be the first Cele Reve expert in PvP? Will it be OP? Most likely. Why? Because they want people to buy the expansion. What better way to make PvP only players buy it, than introducing an OP class. They can’t release it being under par, because then no one will want to play it.
The new question is when will you be able to play your Cele Reve…..
Q3 2015!! Now that is a 3 month period so that gives them a 3 month spread for release or wait until the end if not quit ready.
Also GW2’s 3rd anniversary is smack dab in the middle of Q3….. Perfect time to release it? Sure. Perfect time to finally release the paper bag helmet? Sure!!!
I am sure some of you have seen NCSoft’s earnings forecast for this year. If you haven’t you can check it out here! There are expecting to make WAY MORE in Q3 than Q2!! 360% more than last year Q3…The hype is real!
For the skeptics, no they are not releasing any other games coming up that could fall into Q3.
5 turret engi teams out the window. Inc 5 CeleReve!
No such thing as a bad Revenant player. Just equip full Cele and roll face across keyboard. It will be OP and your foes with trip over each other to post on the forums on how OP Cele Reve is.
Silly people, there is not Warrior F2 skill. That will be the specialization button (Maybe F2) to switch to your specialization once it is unlocked. They are playing HoT and notice it has a ‘Lock’ on it. Dulfy is speculating in his article. Not facts. They stated originally, you will be able to switch to your characters specialization once unlocked, much like a weapon swap; when you are out of combat. That is where the switch will take place. Key press.
I have posted suggestions and my thread got locked within 30 min… So again..Here is a fantastic suggestion coming at you via Paint.
are you really this dumb? do you not think anything though at all?
anyone will a brain looking at your post, and the posts of every other fool asking for a jumping puzzle will realise the same thing: you would just get bored of the jumping puzzle in two days, probably even less time. i doubt you would still be amused by doing the same jumping puzzle again and again, but i don’t doubt you would come back onto the forums and complain about it.
to all of you who are bored with guild wars 2… uh, just stop playing if it’s making you bored and mad. there are games i own like age of empires 2 that make me absoulutely bored out of my skull for the whole time i play them, but guess what crazy action i took? yeah, you guessed it- not playing it at all.
Plenty of other things on my suggestion picture that are not jumping puzzles. There is a forge, an underwater obstacle coarse and a JUMP HOUSE! Along with a couple other things. No one gets tired of a jump house! NO ONE! Don’t be a Debbie downer…
How u get only 2 potions from 3 daily chests….that would wield you 4 potions….. Reward tracks have stages and each stage their prizes. You must click to open the individual prizes. Why so hard? Took 15 seconds to open it all and you complain? If they gave it all in one box at the end of each tier, you would complain even more. More stuff all at once, more clicking all at once and a massive waste of time if you didn’t get to finish that tier before the track disappeared (for ones that come and go). PVE is 50 times worse on opening and receiving useless crap. This is much better.
The start will be a zerg fest. 1 pile of supplies, both teams start with nothing & you can’t do anything without supplies. 5v5 on sups. You wipe & you will be so far behind it won’t be funny. Sure thieves might be able to snag some and run off during the fight, but my guess is massive AOE fest on sups at start. Might mellow out after that though for some small skirmishes.
They actually stated in the beginning they were only testing 5v5. Not 5v5 to 10v10….. Not sure where the article is but that is what they said. They said there is a possibility to up it to 5+v5+ if the community during the beta has a strong request that it be more than 5v5. Basically if all the beta testers say 5v5 is too small it should be 7v7, then they will look into possible changing it to 7v7.
But everyone is right and better than everyone else on their pug team. Ugh…Y U no see dis.
Ok but seriously, Yes too much negativity & whining. A post or 2 about each topic would be good and sufficient. Not 50 posts in a month about the same thing. People should browse before posting and read the results of anthers thread on the same subject.
The thing I can’t stand to see is the same person literally posting a thread about the same exact thing 4 times a month. Keep the same thread going…no need for new QQ on the same QQ.
People get tired of reading the same thing over and over again…
Top 4 not allowed in Mistpedia would be better. I think the main problem with Mistpedia is that it is at a rough time for a lot of people being during the week. A lot of west coast people are still just getting off work at that time. Would be better if it was Saturdays (I know AG’s is) but it should have been that way from the start IMO. It is a bit tougher to make the weekly tourneys and that is why you don’t even see many teams join up. Hell, only 4 teams showed up last week. Newer teams have a better chance there, but most can’t join up for it honestly.
I think they definitely need to extend prizes. Very possible a lot more teams would join up if they didn’t feel “Why bother if I am not going to get anything out of it”. Yes some realize it is all for learning and eventually they will get up there, so they do it. Some ‘teams’ probably don’t feel it’s worth their time because they are ‘casuals’ and maybe play PvP only half the time or less. Even if you extend it even down to 5th place would big a HUGE change. Throw 4th at 2(1?)k gems..5th at 1(500?)k or something…. Some incentive would definitely bring in more people. You look at other tournaments and our top tournaments and they reward a hell of a lot more. WTS rewards everyone (top 4). All you got to do is show up and you get a check. I know our team base is smaller but other games reward top 32….
Some players do it just for the love of doing it. Others do it for the E-Fame. A LOT more would do it if it didn’t just pay out the top 3 teams. Prizes can be small, but the fact of getting SOMETHING will make peoples time worth it to join up.
Anet wants to be esports…it’s not just adding new player base….Maybe try starting with the thousands of players already fully dedicated to PvP….Give them a reason.
Well since we can’t go back and look at the match, we cannot tell you guaranteed what happened. I can pretty much tell you from experience though….. Ranger did not rally off of his teammate, he rallied off of yours…… at some point in time he most likely tagged a player on your team. The player on your team I am guessing was not at the same point as you but still in combat from the tag and died. This would rally the ranger. If you would have looked at your team right at that moment. Guaranteed someone on your team just got stomped out off point. Just because you didn’t see him get stomped out…that rally happens if tagged.
I train daily by killing 1,000 test golems in the mist then run laps around the mist for an hour.
You are slacking………… If you upped it to 2k golems, 1.5 hour track and 2 hours swim/ underwater mechanics off the LA beach, I think you would be a much better player. Can’t believe you don’t even try to hone in your underwater combat mechanics…. That is like 75% of sPvP….
I used to do swimming workout in the mist, but the Devs didnt like it and closed off the area.
That’s because you were peeing in the water…. I saw you and told them. Evidence was clear due to the blue dye they filtered into the pond. This is why it is closed and we can’t have nice things.
Cuz Anet didn’t refill the evaporated water. I had to take measures and provide suppemental fluids levels.
But now everyone has to practice off the coast of LA…. Paparazzi caught a rare photo of Backpack off the coast just last week; practicing on a self made underwater obstacle coarse. The things we have to do since the area was cordoned off due to contamination…..

Also as Ozarc stated. You could just 1v1 yourself on another computer or even 1v1 yourself IRL. That will definitely sharpen your skills a lot.
It is not a bad build. You will get the job done. It’s not necessarily in the Meta hardcore, but still is not horrible. Sure you can youtube some Medi Guard vods in sPvP to check out some gameplay to help with ideas on rotations. Mr Moo up there might even have some on his twitch.
There are champ bags in every reward track. By pvping you also get 30s per match that you win/ 15s for loosing. My suggestion to you is do Maguuma reward track. This will give you more & better loot than the dungeon ones. That is of course if you don’t want dungeon tokens and dungeon weapon/ armor exotics for whatever reason. I myself have gotten 2 precursers from PvPing reward track bags. GL to you and your adventure.
You are looking for Medi Guard. Plenty of builds, along with ones on Metabattle for this. Some show a scepter instead, just use a sword. There are variations of the build that you can just youtube or check out on metabattle.
Edit: kitten beat me to it. There is 1 right ther
LOL Moo’s name is apparently a banned word by Anet :/
So you walk into the match and you want everyone to just ‘Ready Up’? You just saw the enemy team comp (and yours if solo) and you expect people to go face first without any strategy? People talk/ tell where they are going for pugs. Non pugs develop some strategy on opening game plan. I have seen it go before timer but that was when we were ready and I guess the other team was too. Spending a couple min to talk up a game plan is a good option. I am sure some new players have no idea it is there but moving won’t make people click it, I can assure you of that.
Also, some players switch characters, at least seen every other match. This takes a good minute and the match can’t start without them clicking it either, which they won’t.
At the beginning of game launch for a while it was used almost every match. Everyone always clicked it. Somewhere along the timeline people realized it was better to form some sort of strategy.
This is also a good time to grab a drink or use the bathroom. Since it is sketchy to do so when you have been in Q for 20 minutes and can’t risk missing Q pop.
Doesn’t oRNG have underage players? or is that TCG now? or maybe 55hp..Hard to keep track of which one of these top teams can’t go even if they win :/
oRNG is the result of Cheese Mode having people who can’t play in WTS. You’re mixing things up. Everybody of oRNG can play. 55HP had underage people but they are able to replace them for WTS and TCG never had problems with having underaged players at all. So yeah. All of them could play.
Ya I knew CM did, didn’t know the change officially fixed that. I knew TCG didn’t but thought the change made them have issues, guess not. Also hope 55hp’s replacements can hold up to the task. Too bad 55hp can’t get their whole normal team there if win.
Can’t wait! Thanks Grouch for the links! This ^ guy….This isn’t the thread for that. 2 1/2 years? Rangers got MAJOR buffs recently. Including some great buffs quit recently. Power is good when played correctly (mostly not) and survival condi is OP as hell atm… Surprised I don’t see more playing it.
Yaaaaa, Unfortunately the best team in China (by far) is also underage and cannot go to WTS. Looks like NA will be the only ones with their top team in WTS. Should make for a quick slaughter :/
buddy it’s easy to counter, ya’ just gotta use that brain.
Can you explain your tactics against a turret engie on a point please? I’m a shatter mesmer and I can only get the ones that really suck. Thumper turret is a pain, I know I shouldn’t tried to beat it on the point but when there is more than one turret engie in a team I don’t see what I should do other than try to beat it.
Thanks
Step 1: Take out the Rocket turret. It dies VERY fast and is the only thing between the engi and all the rest of his turrets, doing any significant damage.
Step2: Kill the engi. You say you are a Mesmer and thumper turret is hard? You are ranged…why are you standing on point? If he owns the point, there is no need for you to be on it until he is dead. If you own the point, engage him before he gets to the point.
Fun fact. Thumper turret has a very small range of knockback. It cannot cover the whole point. If it is in the center..just stay on the outsides of the point. If it is off centered, stay on the opposite side of the point.
Turret engis do hardly any damage. Their turrets do all the work (Rocket turret being 75% of all damage from all the turrets and Engi himself combined). Kill it and gg.
1. the rocket turret is not 75% of the engi dmg output
2. killing pets first is a bad idea against any class
3. have you ever tried to take out an engi turret? it has dmg reduction, crit immunity and condi immunity, it takes way too much time to kill them, and it is almost theoretically impossible to kill them if you play a condi build.
Well I was slightly exaggerating but you still must take out the rocket turret. I never said take out ALL the turrets. Rocket turret is a must and then you eliminate (more like ) 50% of the damage coming to you. Yes, I have slaughtered many teams running 5 turret engis. While they are annoying, they are still easy. Rocket turret only takes 2 seconds to take out. It is extremely weak compared to other turrets. You CC and use CD’s on players to reduce their damage do you not? Same concept, kill the turret and it is gone. It doesn’t come back for almost a minute and by then the engi should be dead. Rocket turret is probably like 50% of their damage and that is a pretty close number.
You think they are trolling….some probably are. Maybe some are just brand new and have no idea what they are doing. They are just blood thirsty running around trying to win outnumbered fights to prove they are awesome. You don’t know. Unless they start typing troll things in chat to confirm troll, you could just be trying to ban new players. Not sure that will help the player base.

Can some one confirm that Celebration boosters, food mf, bonfire mf, etc stack for pvp crates as well?
It does stack as I stated above. You can just wiki magic find if you want Also, Celebration boosters & birthday boosters give you increased reward track progress.
Magic find is across the whole game, but doesn’t work on champ bags unless they come from PvP reward track.
