Fastest way is lvling normally throught PvE. BEvare even on lvl 30,starter zones will give you approx 15 levels.
So go to Metrica, Caledon, Queensdale, that charr starter zone and Wayfarer.
When you do this zones you will be approx lvl 70 and these zones are just easy ones.
I got SSD drive. Previous loading times were about 4-5 seconds. Not it almost trippled and more. And it is every map.
I dont think so. I think some effects just wont be visible. We need to wait for rest for some SM battle to see effect-culling involved for sure.
Thank you Zumy for nice 5 minute reading in my boring job.
Yes red circles wont be affected by culling, probably. But for example, Meteor Shower or Feedback dont have red circles.
And anybody know how much per one ticket? (i am at work, so forum access but no game access)
You got them in WvW…
I know, I got lots of them, but I dont know what are them for, or were for.
Show me one game with WvW or RvR where players are still playing. So no DaoC and WAR.
And i will go there.
Waiting for: ESO until CU comes out (at least internal beta)
Support tokens? What are those? New BoH?
Even in rank 22 in Eu we know lags. Mostly because we played against rank 12 servers.
When we got enemies on our rank, we dont know lag. And also queues.
They will limit effects you can see. You will se elementalist casting Meteor shower, but you wont see meteors hitting you.
Let me all present FoW and vabbi for you guys, shall i?
but but but it is old. We have not fought FoW and Vabbi for at least a MONTH
He does not need to respond again. They said with introducing this new matchup system that first they will need couple of weeks before they even think of adjusting it.
Remeber it? Somewhere in May if i remember it correctly.
Just a few days before Devon said: If you’ve logged in to play WvW lately, you’ve seen a game that can be exhilarating and frustrating by turns. Holding a tower against all odds with some smart siege placement and a bit of luck may be one of the most fun things I’ve ever done in a video game.
Ragnar everything you wrote is true but as they already said: they are aware of everything, and right now they are not working on anything to wvw, but in future they might work on something /vague
Go for some low tier server. And find a guild there.
pros:
-no blobing
-no queues
-“family” community, not so elitist
cons:
-not gaining as much WXP as in pain train
-need skill, because there is no other 50 allies
-change to fight against blob server thanks to RNG – booring week
Well for power build without HGH=grenades,TK,RB
Go for PVT gear and BZ trinkets. Traits for Grenadier and rest put where you want. Maybe speedy kits.
But in current WvW it really does not matter. There are zergs everywhere even if you roam solo you will have problems with multiple enemies. And grenades against zergs is not the right option due the retaliation.
Not soon, definitelly not soon. I think maybe december will bring some update to WvW different than masteries. But it will be just too late.
because WvW players will be already gone and those PvE players will not come to WvW when there is no good commander or wvw guild to join.
It is not. Gem store is bringing money to Anet.
GW2 is coming up for it’s 1st b’day and i was curious to know if it’s something they still plan on.
Of course they are planning something BIIIIG. but for PvE not WvW. Too bad.
Hey BIll, thanks for you answer.
Because you gave us some info, I wont be nasty and ask anything more.
I think they are free to medium pop and lower severs. but if you want to be on a top wvw server without doing the work to get there you have to pay.
There are no free server transfers. There was an event for like a few days that it was free to medium pop or lower but that was very brief and I’m not sure whether it helped or hurt the targeted servers.
Yes there was such event but:
1) transfers are only because of WvW, PvE has guesting
2) transfers were based on PvE population, not WvW population
3) some servers with high PvE population and low WvW population were not included in free transfers
And I hate that because I am on one of those servers with high PvE and low WvW population.
@Opc that is a really good idea. Unfortunatelly we mostly play agains servers with 3x or 4x more players. 5 man really cannot hold tower against 50.
We will see about today reset.
Yes, I am bored too.
When we lost matchup we fight then much higher server. When we won, we fight Vabbi and FoW.
Masteries are not enought to hold me ingame with other broken mechanics like commander system, 5-man group and others.
There is much easier fix.
There is a range of RNG picks up. So just lower the range. Rank 10 will not fight rank 1 or rank 20. Instead it will be more like rank15 and rank 19 or rank 12 and rank 15. But not rank 12vs15vs19.
Easy. It is just one number range to adjust. And dont forget they added this range into existing equation.
Actually it wont work. Boon stripping have mesmer the best – null field. But on CD and it will strip 5 people.
“team” can pop up retaliation much faster than you can strip boons.
Dear Rainu,
in November 2012 one of the devs said than there are new things comming into WvW in upcomming months.
It was 8 months ago and nothing new or even repaired. it is not like they need repair everything, but certain things are so obvious that those should already be fixed or implemented.
As in November, now we have same vague informations: something is comming in the upcomming months.
Are you really surprised we dont believe it? Aside culling, there was no “old” broken mechanics fixed. Instead of that we had new content – Siegerazer and WXP with Masteries.
One copy/paste mastery every month.
What I wonder is: are those players who plays WvW minority? PvE got 4 dev teams and WvW not even one team mentioned? Or were somewhere mentioned?
So excuse me, but I really dont believe in WvW in GW2 based on experience with this game from start.
Yes man is not mega blob, it is ordinary blob
Wow having FT #2 as blast finisher, Ft will be finally i real weapon.
And that is the answer why it will never be a blast finisher.
Retaliation should have internal Cooldown. It should be more like confusion. It will affect you only once.
Right now you can put mass confusion. But it will punish you only ONCE per skill. But retaliation may punish you 5 TIMES per skill. With AoE it may be 30 times per skill in the case of engi FT or 15 times with Engi Grenades (3 grenades*5targets cap).
So in case of FT, ONE USE of skill can steal you 12k healt. Even thief cannot do this with ONE skill.
And second problem is how easy you get retaliation stacked.
And third problem: retaliation was lowered, but it seems it is still bugger, because every day i can get 300-400dmg pops of retal
I think I know the answer from Anet: We are aware of this. But right now we dont even think of solution. Yesterday we announced another update with new WvW ability and we need to continue this way.
And if you are on low populated server, you have a problem to even get one mastery to full.
In news post made by Chris Whiteside there is this sentence:
Adding brand new content to World vs. World as well as adding new reward progression.
Can you please explain what the first part of this sentence means? I know about new reward proggression. We have supply mastery now. But what about brand new content?
Thanks
Player of Your game and paying customer
What? Where is my Flame Ram Mastery?
I want my Flame Ram Mastery.
And will that tower bug be solved? When Anet employee “find” finally.
I am aware of that. But what stops them to fight? Because somebody left? Look at Vabbi and FoW.
When we played against them they fight even when they had no chance. When RoS played with FoW and Vabbi, was it different?
You dont need to fight in T1. You can have small scale but still big fun fights in T9 too.
And at least for them, now those maps will be bigger. This is what is current whine of forums about. Small maps.
Agreed with lavra.
I dont want those blobs and zergs from higher tiers to break our lag free nad queue free enviroment.
We on lower tiers are against this free transfers.
(but maybe,maybe limited free transfers? like 50 players per server? first come first serve?)
I’ve done all those things in WvW.. how is it not functional for you exactly?
Ok try this. Player is in WvW (you), player is not in WvW. Use guild window,or friends list.
Second test: make party of 3 in WvW. One quit the game. Try to kick him.
This tests can be made also on other borderlands.
Guildie was in EB, I was in our BL, and I was not possible to invite him other way than write /invite
So yes, there is a way, but it is not optimal way nor normal way of makinf/managing parties.
@PariahX I have the same feeling. But not only now in summer. I was trying to point out grouping problems from day 1. I remember in March I got almost beaten down by angry GW2 players because I was not happy with WvW abilities but I wanted better grouping.
Now look at game now. New ability every month (announcing of Flame Ram Mastery incomming tommorow i guess) but old problems are still in game.
Would people really like Cata mastery or grouping options? Ill take grouping options if I can.
(edited by Hule.8794)
Overflow is not the solution. Because how will you distribute points?
We fight Gandara and MS which both of them have tripple of our population. So we would be only in first map, maybe in overflow if big attack. But Gandara would have 4 overflows controlled. Without any chance for our server to even join those overflows.
There is much simplier solution to blobs and zergs = better grouping options.
Right now if you have say 30 people, you will pop up commander tag, because it is the only way how to manage this numbers. And it will attract pugs on map. And here you got a blob.
But with private commanders, or much larger groups, you dont need to pop up commander tag and do pugs will follow you= no blob but guild group.
Against 1 person? Nope. We are building it against The Blob.
Like yesterday. When DZ had 2 big groups on our bl. Took almost everything exept Garison.
You are not alone. We on RoF knows this very well. Fighting with servers with rank +9 was normal for us.
At least this week we got good matchup,but people stopped playing WvW in past weeks and it is hard now to get them back.
Some nice fights today guys. Thanks for them. We really needed opponents with less numbers than blob.
And I think RoF is awakening again. At least what I saw on our bl right now.
Well its wierd not to find topic about new matchup. Specially for RoF. Because we really welcome this week fights.
Too bad, ouir players are slowly awakening from last WvW matchup. I think at wednesday, RoF will be at full strength?
I think we just need to adjust RNG.
Current RNG is bad. Really bad. In NA not so bad like in EU. In EU there are fights between servers with 9 ranks difference.
tried Eso, its kinda….. well if you liked skyrim you will like that, but its alot more clunky, like fallout 2
Skyrim combined with Fallout 2? My dreams come true.
Now i need just to wait for beta invite:-(
You definatly team up with AM, there’s no other way you could have such good coordination with them, once isn’t too bad, but when you do it so many times, the game’s up.
I dont know is they teamed up or not. But based on your “evidence” and based on what I see at daily basis, AG is teamed up with Drakkars against RoF. (for Shino its serious, for rest /ironic)
Because I dont know how else you get such goot coordination. And I dont think about big attacks at multiple targets. Smaller group of AG at Dawns, FIRE at Gari, Drakkars at Bay.
But on daily basis we see on our borderland that AG attacks. First attack failes and they Drakkars in exact moment when AG withdraws from fight, Drakkars start attacking other gate. If the succeed DL and AG comes to inner to do the same at inner gates.
Teamed up. Definitelly. Yea. CoooOOoo.
Thanks AG and DL for interesting matchup. And I think I can speak for whole RoF: we dont want to see you again until we have enought people. :-D, then OYu will know the pain (intended?)
Well bad commander does not mean rude commander.
Bad commander for me is a guy who can be polite but simply does not know game mechanics. I have seen many guys like that. And also I have seen guys that shouts on TS, writes bad words in chat, just because he was doing great, but wiped by 2x larger zerg.
@Contiguous – what will you do with all that gold? Better to send me than left not used :-D
Don’t get your hopes up on it.
Actually I put my hopes into Camelot:Unchained kickstarter.
Dear Anet,
we are very thankfull for your job. For your game. For your effort with new updates. But things have gone too far. You did not shared player numbers in PvE and WvW. We dont know if game is growing or going down.
In last months you pushed some new content into WvW part of your game. You fixed culling. You balanced classes. Those are good things. Whole community agrees with it.
But it seems that specially WvW part of the game is missing something. Something more important than new masteries.
Yes I am talking about grouping in this game. For 10 months we are unable to manage our parties. In PvE there is not a problem. You can invite players. You can kick players. You can whisper players. Even if they log out. But in WvW, this is not functional.
And commander system. I dont know if this is serious intension to have commanders like that. Look you implemented squads but gives to squad leader no options to manage their squads. And we are not able to make private squads. Your game is forcing us to do bigger groups. With current downed state, it really encourages to make bigger groups. But we are not able to do more than use third party software to organize ourselves in some way.
Bugs, those are difficult to repair. I know that. But you need to focus on them too. You have the tools for identify bugs corectly not us,players.
So please Anet, if next months. Please focus on your current state of game. And improve what is in game right now. Dont make new things. I know that community will accept this.
Regards
player of Your game from day 1
This report is very vague indeed.
player:
-cannot look at game logs
-need to have specific matchup to test it as you cannot change servers as you want
Anet staff
- have game logs so he can identify it better
-can change servers as he like so he can find perfect matchup to simulate this
So those reports are not vague.
Look i worlk in it department and I somebody gives me laptop with vague bug description like : sometimes it powers off, I need to acceprt it and test it. I cant just power it on, say it is working and send them away.
If your phone will have random reboots, you will take it to repair center and you would demand repairing of that fault. And fast. You will probably not have broken phone, with every day random reboots, for 10 months. You will bring it to repair center multiple times until they will fix it.
But Anet probably did not even bother to check those bug reports. Even report like: at this tower there is a glitch, i ported inside throu gate with blink, even this is a good bug report and they should investigate it.
But hey, 2 wvw guys and 4 living world teams. Guess about which part of gate is Anet caring more?
