Evan Lesh.3295:

The details tab only shows up when there are details like roster sizes. If there is no details tab then everyone is solo. This tab will also show league badges in Ranked.

Ayy lmao, PvP is a huge disaster atm. Your patch didn’t bring any changes, your ESL Pro Leagues are a failure, and this is the one post you’re replying to? gg Anet

I am as disappointed as you are about the lack of communication and wrongly focused work (wtf aura?!?!)

But, attacking the dev is wrong, and you should feel bad.

let’s spank him

Shemie.4286:

You heard me, let’s stop the crying for 3 more days and talk abou the positives. With a forum like this, we’re scaring away new players who wants to read about pvp.

Big balance patch Dec 1st! HEADS UP.

confirmed on stream?
leaked dev deleted tweet screencht from flicr account of one of cleaners ex-wife?

New maps are awesome.

Auto upgrades need less passive and more active play (need to escort additional dolyak to finish the upgrade and upgrade time doubled, no auto WP).

Guild upgrades (are you motherkitten kidding me?) are overpriced.

Mid event would be fun if not lagfest…

wow…that sucks big.

OanSur.4590:

The recipee you get after you defeat the last boss in Spirit Vale raid. Whole thing is hidden from your wardrobe just like Mistward armor. You cant preview it in-game now until some1 completes crafting it or it is datamined.

thanks alot for answer!

kinda sad that you can fight for hours and mby main thing you want is some cool skins and fun as challenge but cannot see yet..i think data_shaman got the looks, if iwill see him perma in raid instance i think it’s good =)

why you trolling? Please read full notes.

Fixed a bug at Valley Keep that was causing three sets of patrols to stack and patrol at the same location.

Everything is ok.

actual troll post

So….where can i see it? Raids are in but not armor yet?

boons like slow or quickness messing up stomp rly hard, that’s the source of the problem mostly

Ah, thanks for the reminder — someone pointed that rune out to me on the trading post and I completely forgot to raise the issue with people who handle content issues. It’ll probably be fixed at some point; I don’t have much insight into content changes.

i don't know but i thought at first that it's impossible to get machined weapons because it was blocking the progress but or it's another way or i dunno.

I think the machined weapons are acquired via item collections — you don’t craft them AFAIK.

i know now, after going through reddit etc, but the recipe was clear that you need it, in the end you don’t. just useless recipe for ending hot story even if fixed seems so.

razer cortex doesn’t work with it, w/e testing…

Ragnar.4257:

So they changed Stab so it was no longer a “binary” totally-immune or totally-not-immune.

But what they’ve introduced instead is a new binary which hard-codes into the game the number of enemies you can fight as melee.

You have 5 stacks of stab.

Lets say 1 in 4 enemies drop CC on a push (push every 10 seconds, CC cooldown average 40s, so fair assumption).

4 Enemies -> You pass through all CC -> might as well have been no change.
8 Enemies -> You pass through all CC -> might as well have been no change.
12 Enemies -> You pass through all CC -> might as well have been no change.
16 Enemies -> You pass through all CC -> might as well have been no change.
20 Enemies -> You pass through all CC -> might as well have been no change.
24 Enemies -> Even with stab, you still get CC’d -> might as well not use stab at all.
28 Enemies -> Even with stab, you still get CC’d -> might as well not use stab at all.
32 Enemies -> Even with stab, you still get CC’d -> might as well not use stab at all.
36……. etc.

You can nit-pick on my exact numbers if you want, but the conclusion is the same:

There is now hard-coded into the game a number above which stability is worthless, and below which stability is the same as it was before.

This simply encourages blobbing up.

There is a reason why the stability changes have hardly affected sPvP or GvG or roaming, but have had a huge impact on large-scale WvW. There is also a reason why “zerg-busting” has basically disappeared from WvW. The reason is what I have posted above.

this guy basically nailed it. It is how it affected wvw.
+1

Describe a typical hour for you in the Alpine Borderlands in the past. For example, What size of group were you running in? What kind of tasks did you run? What activities did you do?

I was roaming, leading pug groups of different sizes (EB, BLs, map jump), havocing and rading with 15-30. I did everything except escorting dolyaks and afk scouting (mby 10 mintues and i bet i lost a keep). Helping in upgrades, sniping dolyaks, taking defended keeps in prime time or off time, fighting blobs, fighting roamers, dueling in OS, trebbing garrie from towers and ruins, camping enemie north camp with few guys with balistas and rams.
All this in t1-4 EU. (though i started from Vabbi =))

Compare your experience described above with a typical hour spent in Eternal Battlegrounds, if you went there at all. Does your style of play change between the 2 maps?

It’s been not much time for new bls, but EB is just ez map for understanding or palying and it has not much of tactical play included in it. On eb you just go fight for useless sm forever, defend your stuff and poke enemie stuff or map jump from eb elsewhere then back to sneak enemie keep etc.

Compare your experiences described above with an hour spent in the new borderlands.

Defence is much easier now if you have a few people.
Easier to find enemie on the map dew to sentry system etc.
Shortcuts on new map has better ways to get to some places if you know them.
Terrain is semi-flat and gives much more oportunity for tactical play if you willing to do so.
Much more could write, but overall i enjoyed alpine bls and enjoying dessert bls alot.

Describe the nature of combat in the borderlands in the past. How have the new borderlands impacted this paradigm for you? What style or build changes might it cause? For example, knocking people off cliffs or into lava might play a more important role.

Still stab meta is stupid. It’s there and you need stab to move on in aggressive range for melee.
Ranged got more opportunities for positioning.
Fights inside keeps or towers are much more fun if enemies are not using siege, ALOT of space to juke.
My scrapper crack all crappers.
It’s early to say about meta much. RIP warriors though..that is very sad…

In your experience, compare the time it takes take a structure or objective here, then it did in the past.
Undefended – almost same. Lord is stronger only.
Defended – you better think twice if you breached inner to go to lord room or stay away from that CC machines. Lord has a huge impact ona fight right now, what is good.
Smaller group can much easier defend tower or keep, same if smaller group wants to attack smth, it’s harder to find out where the hell they trying to breach through.
More ways of tactical plays.
Harder to force weaker enemies to come out and fight, though it may give them more morale to get off the walls. Will see.

How is the loot and wxp for you compared to in the past? Will it be able to sustain whatever you are doing? Did it take a hit, or was it improved? If you are planning to unlock an elite specialization, do you think you were helped or hurt in these regards? Do you think you could pursue any other in-game goals just by playing WvW?
How will the map change impact the long sessions (multiple hours) you spend in WvW?
WvW is much more unrewarding right now as it was before, very unefficient to play only wvw now. Siege, food, gear etc costs more then you get from wvw. It’s bad and good on the same side.
Bad – you need to leave wvw to play wvw at it’s fullest.
Good – SW farm train won’t make a step in wvw.
Elite spec system is fine, with lowered hero points cap.
Account bound (that is not intended, but they better leave it as it is) hero points from wvw is a great thing.
So i can run a a day in wvw then do HOT maps hero points for 1-2 hours and i got my elit spec for pve/wvw.

In 100 words or less, describe how the new BLs could be improved.

More sentrys could have been added, they working out great shwoing of the enemies on the map.
Gliding?) Would think twice of adding it, but it’s crazy and fun idea at the same time.
Nerf to siege dmg vs players and mby buff vs siege, so you could kill siege vs siege easier but not siege vs player, what can be frustrating sometimes.
More if thoughts wil lgo with more hours spent in wvw. We yet need to discover how we will play the new maps.

In 100 words or less, describe how the borderlands work to a new WvW player.

They wil lbe lost and play EBG for half a year or more. It’s insanly harder then before to udnerstand how the map works. Some better guides at the starter NPC could take a place i guess.

In 100 words or less, describe how the borderlands work to a veteran WvW player that is new to the maps.

Expirience is differnt for different people, depending on their playstyle, expirience etc etc etc. For me – it is great. It’s very fresh and fun to explore it and find a ways to play the new maps.
Roamin was fun.
Zerging was fun.
Taking structures…hmm i got enough of it in my previous expirience, but it was fun finding the ways to open this or that walls/gates etc.

Which map am I most likely to find you currently, if you’re on Gw2?

Wich wvw map?) New borderlands for sure. If it’s nothing i can find in an hour in new bls then i go pvp or lvling elite specs etc. Though i found that ppl coming back to wvw and playing new maps in our matchup (Tier 1 EU) and it is great fun to explore them right now.

yesterday had some 20-50 ppl (per group per server) fights on the new maps (ppl coming back to wvw), after learning the ways arround it became better and you can cross the map from SW spawn to NE tower actually faster then on old maps.

For small groups – oasis event is one of the ways to go and hiding in enemie keep is much easier now + it’s harder to spot at keeps (even at towers) wich wall/gate are attacked. camps are soloable Ez. If you got mobility, it’s much more ways to runaway from zerg then before. Server that has less population if they want to defent their stuff, not it’s much easier for them to do then before. All those excuses right now that it’s harder to deffend is all BS.

People still haven’t use much from the guild upgrades such as banners, no pvd gates etc, but i haven’t looked into it much, from what I heard that part is way too grindy and it needs some toning down because havoc defending guilds are ussually insanly unrewarded and cannot afford yet super upgraded guild hall to get good upgrades.

Open spaces for fights? Hm…i wouldn’t say there are that many as on old bls, but there are plenty of space specially near towers and inside structures to make tactical play more efficient and not only – “big and strong get and on that acs”©. What makes it more fun for smaller smarter groups where in open space vs bigger enemie number you could just get swarmed easily.

The marked enemies on the map IS AN AWESOME thing to have. If you have only 3 groups on the map (1 each side) now it’s easier to spot where the enemies not just by the orange or white swords, but you can see on mini map orange dots then open your map and you see whole group and can aproximate their numbers.

Overall the expirience was very positive for me and alot of other ppl who where with us, let’s see how it goes further in the week and I belive in 2-3 weeks people will come back and I would like to see them on bls testing stuff together and not showing their esportz skills in 3-way 11111 sm fight.

EBG was always meaningless map for wvw as it’s very selfsustainable, easy understandable for handicapated people and militia crowded on any server, while the strongest server was decided of their actions on BLs. All “only ebg guilds” and “ebg scouts” are 80% amatures that never had much clue of the wvw. They could spent 3,5 or 10k hours in wvw but still hasn’t tasted the gamemode as it is and went for smth that is easy defend, scout and udnerstand “it’s our side we def, it’s their side we attack”, almost no tactical play included as it was in bls where you think to abandon 1 map and ugprade keep on another or attack one side then run to old garri (now rampart) etc.

Lack of ppl due to no real server pride and unefficient wvw overall that’s what we got due to anet’s action (ofc together with HOT, heloween etc beeing farmable/fun etc), but it’s all on ppl right now to give the new maps a try and not only listen to one sceptic guy that has 10000 SM captures that “NEW MAP IS PURE kitten,kittenANET, I CAN’T FIND ANYHING OMG RIP WVW RIP WVW”. On another hand wvw is an endgame that if it would be more rewarding then pve then it you would get silverwastes army exploding population in wvw.

Story End recipe – http://imgur.com/5qNnqm2

became this in cragting list – http://imgur.com/G6LKzMh

so basically right now machined weapons are impossible to get because this recipe is bugged.

za drots <3

15 cahrrs hanging on the wall

wait till elite spec farm, new maps farm, heloween etc then decide. When there ACTUALLY will be enemies. Right now it’s just trashtalk.

I like new borderlands, though i want enemies so i wait…

After you join somebody’s guild hall (by beeing partied with them) you want to leave your party to get into party with your guildies….you getting kicked out.

So basically to stay in somebody’s else arena or guild hall you need to be in party with the guild members of that arena.

I don’t think that it works as intended.

When i and my 2 friends finished HOT living story, the recipe to upgrade plated weapons to machined (smth Core) after consumption did not apear in recipe list in any profession, though i got smth with name -(Exotic)- and it was superior rune of earth that i could find in a list of 2 profs that match the recipe…so kinda those skins are blocked right now from getting at all.

posted it here, so merge or delete that htread if needed. Thank you for your work.

that nickname…gives an understanding of pug queue spirit in gw2…sadly..

it would be HUGE buff to stealth tbh if it’s how you saying, kinda one of the counterplays for it

tournaments are not brining balance into game, they did opposite at most times, so bringing them must be with some genious ideas or better not at all

This reminds me of my ex gf. I ended up giving her more and more money. While she appreciated it, it didnt really improve our relationship and we ended up breaking up.

Why were you giving your girlfriend money???

i guess it was “night butterfly”

steinnovels.9675:

Yes the AI is a bit of a disappointment. It would be nice if the gyros did not need AI and just circled tightly around the Scrapper giving their effect in an AOE, sadly that is not the world we live in

that’s what i thought when they revealed the first pics or vids about them…but they needed to make them AI…will see, i like the changes that they arelady getting about cd etc.

it’s not in right place yet but much closer. Let’s wait 1 week for expansion hit and see how balancing will go

now rom will have not 500 but 5000 people watching him getting drunk and screaming on random people
COME ON BOIZZZZ!

If someone DC’s and come back I think they dont need dishonor buff.

They don’t receive it if they come back within the 30s time window. Past that, and they’ll receive the dishonor buff. It’s fair :P

if i remember right you need to so called “DC” few times in a row in 24h or so to get dishonoured, but need some decent reporting system for AFK aswell then to count in spineless

Vieux P.1238:

dishonor does not help players that DC’s unintentionally. & DC happens a lot.

most of so called DC or AFK are on purpose, and it’s really like 70% of those, i don’t mind to get dishonored if my conenction is that kittened up to DC 3 times in one day, ussually not happens with me at all

Ice.5162:

Magnet is STILL UNRELIABLE. I repeat Magnet is STILL NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.

Not yelling, just highlighting =D

Please I’m sick of swinging my prybar in air…

+1001

seems the bug is occuring do to not PEFRECTLY flat terrain, if any slight object stands there or enemies is jumping it just doesn’t pull the target to me or shoots it in air 200-300 range from me so i can’t hit it

IT’s fine buff that adds tactical play. Pls stop qq and go cap sm. Sm is easy to take even for groups that are outnumbered, treb it from different sides etc. It’s not like who got 80 man always can save it, it’s bs.

Tyaen.5148:

Very nice video.

One question? Why rifle turret instead of Rocket Boots? It seemed like you were using Rifle 5 as a gap closer a lot even knowing it wouldn’t land. Wouldn’t Rocket Boots be a better choice there? I would also think the toolbelt would be better as opposed to surprise shot.

surprise shot is like a must for sd, because lowest cd with biggest dmg and instant cast!!!

awesome video, beast combos!

so sad it’s not coming earlier, but still good for a player like me who just can’t spend on HOT yet, though wants to stick arround and mby get few skins =)

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vdAQFASnUUBlchtbBupC0ehlJjiOur79W8ZOgAY8Dqg4D-TJhFABA8AAAvMgAXAgV2fAA

could play it for couple of hours in PVP and came up with it, though was switching gyros to test arround. shredder is bugged but toolbelt is decent. Really loved the regen uptime numerious blocks and evades while having high dmg. Stronk class really cool.

so it’s about NA, Thanks for mentioning in the thread name. Cap

Please consider this polishing to make squad system usefull for wvw

https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/3nm3tg/squad_ui_in_wvw/
especially
- seperate targeting (for each subsquad)
- more then 1 tag available in 1 squad (make it as circle or w/e for sub squad coms but it’s super important for wvw guilds)
- squad com and sub-squad com should be able to see other tags on the map.

- and need somehow to make it visible boons like small party UI that is extremly important for wvw meta (and future meta i belive) mby you could chosoe wich subsquad members wil lbe shown in small party UI seperate from just heir health that dosn’t give enough info for hardcore wvw combat

shredder gyro doesn’t make proper combos with some fields, same problem as mortar kit 1.

light field or water field+ shredder you can see 12 times HEALING BOLTS or CLEANSING BLOTS but nothing happens litterally. no regen stacks no condi gets removed. Tried with mortar kit fields 4 and 5.

when function gyro dies it rallys other players =)))

so if i didn’t bought HOT yet i can test raids too?
