Guild Wars 2

Throwing excess “junk” on another toon is all well and good IF you only have 5 or less toons and know whats on who. If however you have 10 or more toons, things tend to get lost. And if you have 20 toons, keeping up with that many armor skins, foods, boosters, etc is why your bank is so full in the first place. Not to mention all the miscellaneous things such as SAB continue coins and baubles, blc keys, primers, makeover kits, pieces of ongoing creatable items etc etc etc. Because we paid for ALL that stuff in one way or another and shouldn’t have to delete it or move it to another toon only to forget we moved it and purchase more when we need them or pull our hair out looking for misc piece of misc armor/weapon we now are at a point we can continue creating.

Which is why we need more bank tabs.

This game is over 3 years old, everyone is hanging on to something for some reason. If you have 3 completely empty bank slots, that’s great! But some of us only have less than 10 empty spaces across our whole bank. We salvage or sell all greens and blues, we create new toons to try to use our stack of tomes and dress them in horribly mismatched outfits to free up more space. At the end of the day, we’ve freed 10 spaces that we then proceed to fill with items we’ve collected from the new events.

We’re sick and WE NEED HELP!!!

I was flipping through the LFG a couple of days ago and noticed all the FOTM options were greyed out. Despite the fact that both people in the party were eligible to create a group for atleast 1-20 fractals.

We weren’t looking to create a fractal group, just noticed we couldn’t and figured the tool for this section was broken, because there were a few fractal parties advertising in the open world section at that time.

Do you have more than 1 account tied to the same card?

Are there any plans to allow us to purchase more bank tabs?

With the new content and new stuff to hang on to, an already overloaded bank is getting quite hard to pick and choose what to destroy or move to alt toons in order to make room for newer stuff.

2 days before the tyria gliding patch 2 of us went after that really annoying golden coin closest to the waypoint. The level of patience required for not only that coin but atleast 2 others in this puzzle without gliding is almost unfathomable.

If a mesmer were to make it to this one before gliding were allowed I’m sure they made a pretty penny from those who’d already torn their hair out trying. However, that same mesmer could still make a profit from those that didn’t buy HOT, but in the meantine, those that did buy HOT have paid enough for the pleasure of keeping their hair. Let them glide in peace!

Just in case though, best to get this achieve before gliding here gets nerfed.

Zoltar MacRoth.7146:

I’m okay with both portals and gliding being allowed. Some people just aren’t into jps and they’re welcome to get their achievements by taking shortcuts. I’m a purist and will jump through a jp the old fashioned way, but that’s just me – so in the name of the six gods PLEASE give me the ability to reassign the glider button! I really, really try but sometimes I hold the jump button a little too long and it still opens the glider and flies me off a jump I would have otherwise made. It’s so frustrating. You took my jump button away from me. Give it back.

But what really got my goat recently was this: gliding is allowed in some jps.. but there’s an area in Krya (I forget the name) where there’s a slope with some harpies – that’s designated as a NO FLY zone. Why?!?! It’s a slope! You still have to walk up it to get to the harpies! There’s nothing there but some harpy eggs and stupid harpies. What in the name of Mordremoth were you trying to prevent players from doing there?!?!?!

And to add insult to injury, the harpies are allowed to fly – in a NO FLY zone.

Is the No fly zone you speak of in NW Hirathi Hinterland? If so, there’s a JP in that area (Goonies cave ship), which is why gliding is probably disabled outside of the cave.

The PVE DC timer should be brought down to match wvw. That way you don’t inadvertently get reported for going to the bathroom or for standing around timing another players breaks.

3 words, Evolved Jungle Wurm! This event is long past needing a change. There’s 3 mastery points associated with this event alone, yet pretty much since it’s introduction people have shied away from the event and now, you scramble to even get enough people to run 1 head, that may not be the one you need. Unless you’re on a scheduled guild run, which many people don’t even know about and those that do still don’t even bother because let’s face it, it’s not really a success unless all heads die and even a scheduled run doesn’t guarantee full sucess.

Anyone remember using those extra hero points to buy stuff like elonian wine? Was research done on this to gauge if those HPS were somehow refunded? If they weren’t, you could very well have people with toons that have full world completion and next to no leftover hero points.

The debate might still be going on in the wvw forums. The proofs (earned in wvw) were account bound, then jist the chests allowing you to open them on alts, then everything was soulbound. The correction was made a few months back. Apperently the account bound proofs were a mistake and led to a massive amount posts about how wvwers could get elite on alts without even playing them, where as the correction made playing wvw just like playing pve. If you wanted to gain elite on an alt, you had to play that alt.

Just a heads up, the mystic forge may not accept all new insignias. For instance, there was a problem with trailblazers that has since been fixed, but took months to correct. If you chose the MF path, first make sure 1 insignia/inscription is accepted in the mystic forge before you go through the process of getting 6 for armor or 2-4 for weapons.

From what I read, of the new stats, trailblazers was the only one that had this issue, but I didn’t research other types further.

We were all new once and had these questions.

You’ll need to do the first chapter of the story as mentioned, you’ll also need to gain a mastery point to spend on your unlocked mastery and once you’ve completed one, you’ll need to select another to train in otherwise the experience you’re gaining is not going towards another mastery. You can continue to train the mastery if you don’t have the points for it, but you’ll want to gather them before the bar reaches max.

How about bank access express if you already have the unlimited access. Those drop at a much higher rate than the minis, but atleast they are stackable.

Yes, the D’S vendor appears on the cliff after the mouths death. Use LFG to increase your odds of a successful map though.

The vendor will appear in the area where the final chest is. But before you even attempt it, make sure you have all the currency you’ll need for your purchases as the whole event takes at minimum an hour and really sucks to be short 3 airship parts or whatever

One of the reasons I avoided Been There Done That on my fully ascended condi mesmer.

With the introduction of gliding and the fact she’s a week away from 2 years old, I put her back up exotic cavalier traveler stuff on and powered through, she’ll have 100% tonight.

This work around is all I can suggest for now, and who knows you may find you like power better than condi.

But yes, barrels, gates all that stuff should be affect by poison and even chill or confusion.

They did a few sets like that, but sold it as a 6 piece set that you had to buy for every armor type. So what you ended up with was 1 maybe 2 usable pieces that went went with the rest of your look and 4-5 pieces that took up space in your bank until you found a use for them or deleted them bease you needed the space. More if you bought all three armor types.

Outfits are a good work around, but the ability to mix and match pieces of the outfit with other unlocked skins would be nice. Selling each item separately would be better, but most likely more expensive.

I agree 100% with most of your ratings, particularly with shooting gallery. I personally gave up on that one a while back and haven’t looked back.

Other than personal glory, some of these adventures are required for the ascended weapons as well as an extra mastery point and that was my goal. So, it really comes down to what’s in it for you? If you get what you need from these challenges or close enough to the next level to go forward go for it, but if it’s beyond irritating and you can put your pride and stubborness aside, then move on, because some of them are not worth the headache.

Same thing happened to me once before I learned, only the person called me a kitten idiot. Since then, I’ve been cussed for not helping in what looked like a duel, roamers are so fickle. Report and move on if they are vulgar, help when you can, otherwise ask if it’s a duel before bagging someone elses prize.

From a making money perpective, I’m suprised they limited this to 5 slots, or they didn’t up the amount of bags a toon can carry or add additional bank tabs.

Even 2 additional bank tabs added with this new shared option would’ve helped tremendously in the short term for those with miscellaneous items (such as wvw seige) on multiple toons when combined with bank access in the shared slots. Especially since most vets are scrambling for space in their personal banks at this stage of the game.

I’ve been sitting on my 6 exotic inscriptions and 6 anthology of heros for over a month now in the hopes that one day this will work. In addition to the six upgrade extractors I wasted the first time I tried unsuccessfully to forge switch the armor. It’s good Anet is aware and they are looking into this, but in the meantime, that last part I mentioned (6 UPGRADE EXTRACTORS)! A lot money/currencies, a lot of material goes into this process in the first place, and switching stats has been ingrained in our heads with the new system, requiring even more money and materials for an end result that SHOULD work. How long should we nervously waste upgrade extractors or other materials before we’re given the opportunity to test this stat combo?

Alot of the naysayers have probably never attempted to solo even a tower let alone a keep. So good job for even trying, regardless of whether or not you’d end up getting it atleast you tested your might, and that alone shows that you’re not afraid to take on tasks by yourself instead of waiting for backup, regardless of what toon you happen to be on at the time, it doesnt matter, because in that moment, you may not have a choice. Good job!

SF took rank 24 for the first timer ever, at week 51 which was 7 weeks ago. The highest rank they ever obtained was 15 and held for 3 weeks. SF has consistently held rank 17-22 for roughly 2 years.

I think ET has spent alot more time at 24.

Yes, ET spent more time in 24th, but they also started at rank 3. They’ve gotten a chance to fight servers that dedicated SF’ers can only dream of. You can’t compare the paths of our 2 servers.

As stressful as fighting outnumbered fights are, constantly watching when you’re running upgrades because you know the second you turn your back they will pop out of the bushes and pounce on you, and losing week after week after week, it’s still less stressful than fighting to hold on to 18th-23rd fearing the inevitable. More training and especially more people will get you out of 24th, but anyone that comes here will most likely not stay for the long haul, so there you are again, stuck in a position you may not be able to handle whether it be for lack of coverage or lack of training, stressing yourself and your server mates out fighting to hold off your decline. That’s what happened to SF over the last 2 years, that’s what has happened to other servers that were in or near 24th. SF won’t be stuck in 24th till end of game, but she won’t make it to 1st-4th either without becoming a major bandwagon. If you seek instant high level blobbing, transferring now is the way to go, if you seek rising, falling and constant chaos and stress, then any server from tier 6-8 is the way to go.

Map watch, when a bl starts turning your color (blue in your case this week) hope in there and run with your commander. They may not get everything you need at once, but it isn’t always meant to be a quick process.

Perhaps someone disabled it

Last year we had 2 tournaments (spring and fall) in April and September. The April one was longer and more nerve racking. I’m not sure about 2013, but I think there was only 1 tournament that year. Maybe they’ll have 3 this year with the shorter 4 week format.

Breast cancer awareness easter egg

Dude, I feel your pain, the first time I did it I didn’t know anything about wvw. I waited 4 weeks for 1 Vista and a poi in 1 of the garrisons. 4 WEEKS! during what I’d learn later was a 13 week matchup with us (SF) and FC. I’ve done it twice more on that account, but am now working on the first world completion on my second account. It’s still SF and it’s even worse than the first go around.

If you like your server, get to know wvw, find a commander you like and stick with them. Or transfer, but, know that it won’t necessarily be easier on another server.

You can’t even equip an off hand weapon until level 7, there’s even a restriction on when you can swap to the secondary weapon set (somewhere in the teens I think) Why would you want a level 2 with (1) 1 handed weapon running with you? Don’t kill the uplevel? No, tourney taught us the uplevel is the spy and ALL green arrows must pay. I understand the irritation from those that have run a lowbe in there, but, think back, how long did it take you to get acclimated? Did you kill anyone with your white armor and weapons? Some things are worth waiting for, be thankful, it could be longer.

My views on uplevels have changed too, not that I ever cussed them out, but I did consider them rally bait. However, I brought one in (level 65) and did things I didn’t think were possible, I took 2 camps by myself and did fairly well in a couple of battles. Yes, I died, but Ive died on level 80s before as well. So, while it’s not recommended, because most uplevels are easily killed, if you’ve played on an 80 before in wvw or you are familiar with the process in general you’ll be more accepted running an uplevel. People can be mean to other level 80s too, if the team is losing and you’re going down alot. You just have to pay your dues and understand where these guys are coming from, if you’re in there long enough, you could find yourself on the opposite side of the argument.

There are 3 Borderland maps and 1 Eternal battleground map. The BL maps are colored Green (left), Red (upper), Blue (right). Each week on reset your servers color is chosen, green if you’re predicted to get 1st place, Blue if predicted to get second and red if predicted to get third.

If you’re asking of the maps rotate, then the answer is yes and no, your ranking rotates, but not the maps. The easiest way to get wvw map completion is to check your color for that week, get everything you can on your home borderland and then follow the roaming groups (zerg) to the other BLs or EBG, as they capture things, you will get your exploration, but dont expect them to cap everything you need at once, it could take a week or more. And by all means, come back when you’re done, every server could use more people.

Bad idea! / Good Idea!

From someone on a server that at one point had enough people where 1 person could babysit every structure on the home BL, but even then didn’t, because not many people like to. Now, not even enough people to mount a good havoc squad capable of papering and retaining 50% of another BLs structures before the tic, before being discoveted or before one of the other servers clean up after us before the tic.

On the other hand, this will create complete chaos for roaming zergs from every server trying to figure out the movement of the other 2 roaming zergs. Everyone’s BL could be a bag of skittles if this is played right, and you won’t see green garri held for a week while blue garri has been flipped 20 times.

In a way, it makes everyone vunerable, and no one feel as if they are being ganged up on. But, it also eliminates the need to put time, effort and money into upgrading anything short of keeps.

Now, if you’re lucky enough to get your keeps wp’d removing white swords should also remove contested status, allowing players to quickly get there if needed. But, most likely, you will have 1 person watching all entrances of the keep (easier to do from inner) so outer falling will become a nonchalant occurance.

The lesson Anet is trying to teach dedenders is we should be cognizant of all areas of the map, to not take anything for granted and most importantly not rely on walls to protect us. The lesson for invaders is to think outside of the box, be mindful of your surroundings and protect your seige. Last night for example our south camp was taken and camped by a group that set up a regular treb on the other side of the bridge. They got Briar wall down and never even had to get close to do it. Seige disablers were dropped on the treb, but it did no good, the thrower died in the process because only 2 people went down to counter to the offensive group. It was really very strategic on their part.

We asked for more open field fights, voila! Our lesson to ourselves, be careful what you ask for.

It’s all hypothetical and always will be. Let’s say the NPCS will stop fighting and start crying when the opposing server is suddenly out manned by the defending server again.

Still we can all agree though that those that chose to defend all the time (especially in lower tier servers) really do bare a major burden . Opposition stacks the server either because they can or their own havoc crews have irritated the opposition enough that they push back. But these havoc crews rarely come to help defend when their home bl is outmanned unless they go after something big and by then it’s probably too late. It’s a never ending battle, and the ones that end up getting the shaft are the defenders. Some extra help would be nice especially when you are severely outmanned and there is no one to call. The opposition can activate SR anytime to screw with a server, why can’t the defending server activate him or something else to dissuade purposeful bullying. It wouldn’t take a team of 20 long to kill SR, and it would give defense enough time to prepare for what’s coming their way.

Reigne Irkalla.4768:

kitten I didn’t realize they were invulnerable. Talk about OP.

(I have yet to be smacked by one if ya can’t tell)

This is why you’ll often see them retreat to their spawn, they’re attempting to get you to follow and most that dont know better will. You can get fairly close, but if you’ve gotten too close, you’ll figure it out quick. Test the distance in case you ever need to know.

Seige Razer should just show up automatically at the spawn of any server that purposefully stacks another server. We pay him enough, and he doesn’t work hard enough for what he gets now. So, you stack a server, kill SR then proceed.
