Guild Wars 2

I don’t think it should be completely removed but they should definitely relax the limitations compared to non-commander players.

Commanders have to take special care to NOT repeat their messages since that’s what usually triggers the suppression.

But repeating a message usually grabs attention so as commanders, we are currently limited to expect players to get the message the first time its spoken otherwise they won’t be able to see our messages at all because we’ve suppressed ourselves.

The only gripe I have with loot bags is when I’m manning arrow carts, cannons, or ballista I can’t shoot and loot at the same time. Otherwise they’re fine.

What kind of gear are you expected to ping for all those CoF p1 LFMs?

For Warriors and for the Mesmer?

Dungeon gear by default comes with runes/upgrades so WvW gear should come with runes and upgrades as well. Or there should be runes we can buy with badges just like at the dungeon token vendors at lions arch offer.

Ascended gear in WvW hope it comes soon too.

Thanks for the pro tip I will (ab)use it!

Zephyrus.9680:

No it doesn’t. WvW is obviously “Plaver-vs-Player (PvP) gameplay”.

Of course leeching is irrelevant in WvW and the “this also includes” means it includes sPvP leeching in the category. Not exclusive.

Spying/sabotage is not “participating in matches in good faith”. It would take a pretty big twist to convince yourself otherwise, even if you’re a perpetrator?

Same with “inappropriate behavior”, “other misconduct”, and “match manipulation”.

I don’t see how they can make it anymore clear than that without extending it to 100 pages for every conceivable and inconceivable offense that no one would ever read.

We have seen ArenaNet use the term PvP exclusively for sPvP and NOT for WvW.

The examples are all throughout their game update notes where they make certain changes for PvP (they use the term PvP to refer to sPvP) and the changes do not affect WvW/PvE.

So 22 does not apply to WvW.

Spying and sabotage is allowed. Killing your teammates in the Eternal Battlegrounds jumping puzzle is allowed. Taking slots in WvW so you can do the jumping puzzle instead of fighting other players is allowed. Partying with enemy players is allowed.

Talking with enemy players is allowed. Guesting on enemy server’s in lions arch (and other PvE locations) so you can boast and brag is allowed. Buying multiple guild wars accounts is allowed. Multiboxing is allowed as long as each account is personally controlled by the player (and not macros/bots). Reading “enemy” movements, map/team chat on your 2nd account and conveying that information to your “primary” account’s server is therefore allowed.

In any game I’ve played where it’s possible to grief and ruin things for everyone else, you can and should report for it. This just seems like common sense to me but I was curious so I went and googled it:

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/legal/guild-wars-2-rules-of-conduct/

21. You may use the Guild Wars 2 reporting system within the Game to alert the company to in-game issues such as inappropriate behavior, offensive names, the perceived use of a “bot,” or other misconduct. […]

22. While participating in Plaver-vs-Player (PvP) gameplay, you will not participate in any form of match manipulation. Match manipulation is defined as any action taken to fix or manipulate the outcome of a match or alter or manipulate the rankings or ratings of the ladder. This also includes disrupting other people’s game experience by not actively participating in matches in good faith, a.k.a leeching.

wow, i should have done my homework right then…Anet please give me more options to report…botting just isnt doing much…ther should be an option to add a comment like we have it here in the forums

22 applies to PvP only not WvW hence the term “leeching” or afking in a pvp match. WvW is different. Plenty of players afk there constantly or are there to use crafting stations/trading post.

No it was fun for the player(s) that killed you. Try again.

Ruprect.7260:

Thanks, thats all I needed to know. This guy was taking the exact same route to each objective and starting worthless upgrades, building exactly 2 golems at the camp. He would start at the camp and build 2 golems, go to the keep and start a worthless upgrade, go to the next camp and start an upgrade. Then go back to the fist camp and build 2 more golems and start the exact same route over and over.

I think it was a bot but can’t be sure. He must have wasted a ton of gold with all of the golems/upgrades he was doing. All it did was make for a frustrating time with no supply on reset night.

He also would not respond to any whispers. Usually if someone is doing something like building a shrine or something they will tell you to leave them alone, I can play the way I want. Which that is fine with me. But no response after like 20 whispers asking what we should do with the golems, I will report you if you dont stop, and so on seems odd to me.

If there is no rule against it then I guess we just deal with it. We will find a way around it.

I wasn’t going to report anyone, I was just asking.

Well you could report them for botting if you think it’s highly likely they are a bot. Just remember ArenaNet has that warning about false report so take that into consideration.

Is it a bot or is it a stubborn player that wants to buy upgrades that might seem worthless to you but are of value to him or her?

Well at least he’s building golems, you could move them somewhere and save them for later. And that’s the thing with golems, they are community property so whoever jumps into one can do as they please with it even when others beg them to get out etc…

You cannot force another player not to “burn” supply. You can kindly ask and if they refuse to listen there is not much you can do.

ArenaNet created achievements like repair master and siege building master and some people really want to get them so you can’t really ruin their fun unless you take the supply first.

There are also those players that waste supply on building “flame ram shrines” and other sort of nonsense. Are we going to report those players too now. No.

No it’s not against the rules.

Habib, would it be possible to add the raw final score of each server to these charts.

People have been using http://mos.millenium.org to get historical data but the numbers there usually aren’t the “final” scores that we see at the time the match ends.

If it’s not too much of a hassle please add it to the chart. Thank you.

I was just in a COF P1 run with 4 guardians (and I was the Mesmer). They must have been all tanks/knights armor guardians cuz it was hella slow compared to other groups ive been in.

It seemed worse than the average pug in path 1 cuz their dps was low. Path 2 though it was nice to have them protect Magg against the assassins.

If you have any suggestions on how to be more effective or how to survive during skill lag, please share!

Just some ideas:

1) Toughness/Vitality gears
2) Instant activation skills (that still lag but at least they’ll activate sometimes)
3) Dodging frequently?
4) Auto-attack?

Ideas like a mass necro zerg are nice in theory but it doesn’t come into play often because most players don’t play necromancers.

The next big wvw fad for me would be a 70 or more man engineer zerg all using flamethrowers.

We know that the flames at the top of the EBG jumping puzzle causes extreme lag because there are like 10+ flame jets all coming out at once.

I’ll bet you can replicate that lag effect with a huge engineer zerg.

I recommend Jade Quarry for your WvW and PvE needs.

Level 400 jeweler can only craft exotic amulets/rings/accessories.

What’s the point now that there are ascended amulets/rings/accessories that are more powerful.

O well, you still need jeweler to craft certain legendary weapons I guess. But besides that what else is there to do with jeweler… play the market for non-max gear jewels?

So I’m accumulating a lot of level 80 rare weapons and armor and I was wondering what I should do with them since I’m going to run out of bankspace soon.

Is it standard to sell them on the market for gold or to salvage them (with black lion salvage kits) for globs of ectoplasms.

I suppose I could also wear them on my undergeared alts and then salvage them after I get some exotics.

Are there any other uses for level 80 rares?

I’ve been selling or salvaging the level 68-79 stuff already. But is there anything else we can do with the level 80 stuff that I’m missing?

TSym is having a fun time in SoS Tier 3 against their old server DB so I don’t think that rumor of them hopping to BG has any truth to it.

Learn to use stability.

I don’t believe any classes have spammable Stability skills. Most are on long cooldowns, like Armor of Earth (90s) for Elementalists, with a short duration (6s), barely long enough to use a couple of skills, and then you’re out for the next 84s based on your logic.

Because Temporal Curtain works on sides of walls, you don’t usually see it until you are pulled, which is too late to use Stability, even if you could react that fast.

Stability is not the answer to OP’s problem. But I’m sure you realize this and are just trolling.

Since you play on a lower tier server it’s obvious that you are inexperienced with stability and its related traits.

Again, learn to use stability. Maybe you should try reading the wiki article on stability before you accuse others of trolling.

Here you go: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Stability

Ahh yes, tier is associated with individual skill and knowledge. Go on.

Stability isn’t spammable but really the enemy should be putting up aoe to keep you away from the edge anyway.

Temporal curtain isn’t spammable either so what’s your point?

This shouldn’t be rocket science for you, if it’s giving you that much trouble then guess what, equip some stability skills or traits.

Hey GW2 players, I was wondering what video recording software players have been using to capture their GW2 footage.

I’m interested in getting some footage for WvW but I’m looking for a better less resource intensive program.

The software I was using before was CamStudio 2.7. The files were huge and it really slowed down my game. Maybe I should try recording in a smaller window next time.

Now this software was free so I’m looking for similar but better options. Are there any others out there I should consider?

How are players recording their videos? Is there a preferred or popular program that most players use?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

After studying the charts, I think SF has a good chance to leave Tier 8 on April 12th.

Henge of Denravi in Tier 7 seems to be losing steam so their rating may be dropping over the course of the next 30 days. If Sorrow’s Furnace can keep consistently slicing ET and FC to ribbons and quell any possible transfer uprisings over there then I think it may be SF’s time to rise back up to Tier 7.

Let’s talk more about Tier 8. Sorrow’s Furnace is currently the top dog on Tier 8 and even though they win their matches handily, they don’t seem to be moving up tiers anytime soon.

Just looking at their chart http://mos.millenium.org/servers/view/45/#history

it seems that they could plateau in Tier 8 for 3 more months.

So should PVE players consider SF the best place to be? With extra POWER OF THE MISTS, SF players will be sturdier and enjoy more benefits throughout the week compared to players on loser servers and even the highly competitive servers don’t have as much bonuses.

Players on SF have 2 options
1) Try as hard as they can to move up to tier 7 and then all their Power of the Mists is gone!
2) Maintain some stability in Tier 8 and rack up easy kills from ET and FC but never boost their rating so far as to leave the “comforts” of Tier 8.

Maybe the players on Kaineng or Devona’s Rest have some opinion on this as they were the other 2 servers that worked their way out of Tier 8.

I wonder what the current mindset is on SF too. With all those bonuses and killing your easy opponents week after week, how could you not want to stay in Tier 8 for the rest of your GW2 life. Hahaha.

Yes, it’s another thread about Tier 8! Let’s make it a fun prediction game now!

Predict: What day will Sorrow’s Furnace (NA) move out of Tier 8 and into Tier 7?

Prize: 1 Mysitic Coin! (more possibly added later)

How to Submit: Type out the DAY that SF will leave Tier 8 and enter Tier 7. For example if you think SF can enter tier 7 on the next reset. Say “3/15/2013” or “3/15” etc.

Deadline: Make your prediction by the end of March.

Let’s make our best educated, uneducated, or random guesses. You can use Kaineng’s or Devona’s Rest’s charts or you can even manipulate the results by transferring your guilds to Tier 8!

Transfer your guild(s) to SF and maybe they’ll have a better chance

Transfer your guild(s) to Eredon Terrace (ET) or Ferguson’s Crossing (FC) and maybe Sorrow’s Furnace will never leave Tier 8.

Note: I have nothing to do with Tier 8. I just pity all of them. But who knows, maybe SF enjoys being the top dog in Tier 8 and wants to stay there.

Learn to use stability.

Score update 3 ^^

ComeAndSee.1356:

This game, like every other “F2P” game, uses your addictions in order to get you to spend money. It’s not even remotely as bad as other F2P games I’ve played like World of Tanks where you needed a “premium” account for 50% more XP/gold earning.

Free transfers (and Overflow + being able to play with people cross server) at the game launch was an intelligent move in order to prevent the “ghost town” server issue that plagued SWTOR and caused people to quit en masse.

Now it’s time to cash in. Nobody transfers alone, they transfer with their entire guild.

Very nice. Yes, someone is taking advantage of those players that are addicted to “winning” or “being competitive” etc.

Like my guildy said yesterday, “hope these players find a home someday”. Hehehe.

Transferring is not the smartest move in my opinion.

You’re paying ArenaNet to transfer all your characters to another server. And by the way that service used to free.

You could have simply bought another account and created new characters on your new home world. It’s about the same cost.

So you can stay in your old world and experience the new world at the same time.

Congratulations Jade Quarry! You guys have a lot of haters but they are just jealous of your success!

ND better known as “Always Die” must be losing a lot of gold having to transfer around so much. How many servers have they transferred off of now?

Judes.4907:

First, let me point out that the constant use of the bandwagon myth, to JQ, is indeed that. A myth.
JQ was not winning when these transfers started. Bandwagons occur on winning servers, just so we clear that up. So try to be more accurate when you use insulting terms. Three T1 servers tried to recruit us, not just JQ. JQ just made the best argument to move there. Besides, we didn’t want to be part of a server that would PM BOMB a Guild., follow them around with server spys spamming those silly Bells, emoting endlessly, and basically acting like 6 year olds.
Second, as was also stated in a few replies above, SoS has indeed used much more destructive tactics to smash an entire server, than this silly rumor mill thing that has you all throwing fits.
I find SoS to be quite hypocritical as of late, and the OP here displays it quite nicely.
It doesn’t matter one bit if those who PM bombed not only 1 guild, but attempted to do the same to a few others (but failed) and destroyed a server that wasn’t even beating them! They did it for fun. To be evil.
Their server did not condemn them at all, they DEFENDED the tactic. At least here in the forum.
I’m tired of the whining from SoS, even if I don’t condone whatever drama is going on currently.
How about just growing up, and play the game. Win or Loose, and move on. Leave the whining, and the mind games at the basement door.

“Bandwagons occur on winning servers”. Not true.

Bandwagons occur on servers that look promising and while they are mostly occur 1st place servers, people do bandwagon to select 2nd and 3rd place servers as well when they rumors are good that they have “potential” or that “all these guilds are moving to that server”.

Threads like this aren’t really helping your server any.

It shows that you are worried and perhaps overly so that your server will “crumble”.

Your server used to be #1 yes, and so was Stormbluff Isle and Henge of Denravi. So their days were numbered and they fell down eventually. It’s a natural cycle.

I’ll tell you the reason. Some people don’t like sitting in the same place as if you’re immobile. They’d rather be dishing it out on the front lines and dying in melee combat than staying behind the lines and manning siege equipment.

What can you do except find more like-minded players to man some siege equipment.

Le Rooster.8715:

Hey guys i’m Rooster, some of you may know me on this forums for some of my subtle trolls, some by my score updates but i am here to discuss a pressing issue that is emerging in tier 1 NA. This is not about the current score or the domination of Jade Quarry but rather the antagonization and unhealthy propaganda that is going on to purposely destroy other tier 1 servers communities.

Currently the amount of trolling, personal abuse and antogonization that is going on behind the scenes in the current tier 1 community is redicilous and appalling, never have i ever in my video game history witnessed such desperate attempts to bring down A server through such horrible propaganda.

I will start with my current server Sea of Sorrows, or some may internally refer to ourselves as #SeaofSwag. Currently the situation is not great we lost two guilds and are attempting to rebuild our community, however the negative propaganda from certain sites and individuals is making this extremely difficult. I will refer to an exhert from the community site Guild wars 2 junkies which spreads random false rumors about guilds leaving.

" most of it centers around the drama caused by Tsym (who apparently is planning to stay on SoS) and privately is throwing quite the hissy fit about these guilds departure."

now in a later post

“*Reset night in T1 is starting out with some interesting news; in short the Sea of Sorrows (SoS) drama continues to unfold.

As they prepare to enter reset, they are currently involved in heated internal fights. Multiple sources have confirmed that the catalyst for the internal fighting today is TSYM GM, name of GM*. " However more despicable is this post included screenshots of Sea of Sorrows private chatbox which the site may have recieved intel from, which is considered spying.

Now the problem with posts such as this one is they specifically antagonize certain guilds and individuals as the root of the problem. this puts unnescsary pressure on the guild and an immense and unhealthy amount of pressure on the individual which i will say has done alot for the sea of sorrows community. Now the site didn’t mention why the outburst occured, it just focused on the outburst its self.

That is just one example of many of negative propaganda in attempts to implode a server which in my opinion is disgusting.

Now i will move onto Jade Quarry, upon post of this thread i had consulted with a prominant Jade Quarry GM about the issue and he had told me that the issue was affecting his guild aswell, where he explains that certain unknown individuals had made personal attempt at undermining the guild with personal attacks which put a financial strain within the guild due to resources on repairing the damage done.

So the current situation in tier 1 NA is horrible, the community and lack of sportsman ship is redicilous and when i heard of notable guilds being attacked personally and my server being repeatedly bombarded with propaganda which causes a rift and strain within the community about who’s next to leave it’s not healthy.

My solution lets leave this way of recruitment, the battle should be fought in the battlefield not through gossip i honestly don’t understand why some individuals would stoop so low just to bring down certain servers and attempt to create negative rifts within communities which affects personal life especially in the case of the Jade Quarry guild where the actions of some caused them to throw real life money and resources for them to repair it.
Lets all just have some fun, don’t worry about the score stop trying to undermine servers and stop spreading unnescssary rumors and gossip

Thank you.

Sorry but the name of the game is Guild Wars not Guild Sports.

In a real war, sabotage, subterfuge, spying, and lies are all fair game. “exploits” and “hacks” are also fair game to those players that are willing to risk their accounts to gain the upper hand to win the war.

ArenaNet may patch up some exploits and hacks. But rumors and gossip? I don’t you’ll ever stop that.

I knew Kaineng was going to win. Enjoy your rise to tier 1 Kaineng as you get easy points off Maguumas and Dragonbrands.

Kaineng will win this one easily.

SabreWalrus.8647:

It’s very funny when people come in and try to explain why the costs are the way they are or how it’s all about Anet’s business skeelz or some kitten, as if people are not already aware of this.

What is being said is that the ONLY thing your chosen server affects is WvW.
You may guest onto ANY server within your region (EU/NA) to pve and play with your friends to your heart’s content.
The ONLY thing you are locked to is WvW.

Because of this, in all logical sense, the transfer cost SHOULD be linked to WvW in some way.
We don’t care about all the reasons why it currently isn’t this way. We are saying that it SHOULD be this way and Anet should find a way to go about it.

It makes absolutely no sense for server transfers to be decided by a pve element when guesting exists. It is even null and void to base the cost on server “size” because as people have mentioned – a server may be “Full” at 19:00, but by 3am that will drop down to “Very High” and people have space to transfer there.

It has been proven by bottom tier “Full” servers and top tier “Medium” servers that server population =/= WvW strength.

The whole system is kitten and needs to be revised.

Incorrect. Just because there is guesting doesn’t mean everyone uses it. I don’t plan on guesting on any other server for the time being.

ArenaNet’s server transfer gem pricing is fine as is. Sounds like some people are just too cheap to pay it.

Mesmer + Guardian/Thief go well together.

Mesmer: Portal
Elementalist: Swirling Winds
Guardian: Good crowd control and support skills.

These are currently the top 3 support classes in WvW. And you know many players like to play support.

Um the only class you didn’t mention was engineer. Their grenades got nerfed that’s why you hardly see them anymore.

The best chance for real competitive wvw pvp is for players to come together and work out a set of rules they agree to play by. Like a game wide wvw guild association of sorts. That’s really the only type of structure that is flexible enough to solve this kind of problem. You have rules like not throwing matches, rules on recruitment, etc.. Real world sports all have this, and it works well. It would work just as well here also, but it’s a lot of work to put together, and I’d be shocked and amazed if it ever happened.

Yes, I hear rumors that some of the higher tier alliances have agreed to play in certain timeslots. (1 hour timeslots 2 hour timeslots, whatever). It might be a problem to get the newer players to agree to such a thing but there will always be random players that won’t agree to the “community rules”.

Midnight 12:00AM Saturdays GMT or Friday 7:00pm eastern time US.

If you really wanted the 100% map completion without the fees, you should have picked a server that has the capability to control 100% of world vs world.

Like the other guy said, you can wait to change colors now. With the upcoming reset, expect the change colors a lot over the next few weeks.

There is nothing valid in the original post.

ArenaNet gave many days of warning about the paid server transfers and existing players and guilds had ample time to prepare for it.

Active players and guilds that wanted to transfer have already done so to avoid the fees.

ArenaNet already told us the transfer fees would be based on server populations.

Sounds like someone is unhappy to pay the fees to transfer off their server. Well you should have listened to ArenaNet’s announcements.

You completely don’t get it, Piken Square is medium population with high cap of wvw and we not going anywhere just suffer long queues because flooded by many players who transfer here, low price is making this problem not solved and can attract much more and more.

That is one side of coin, second is high populated servers but with low population on WvW cant do any think and cant count on new WvW players as price is high and potential reinforcements will chose to play less but land on server placed higher in rankings.

So both way is completely not fair

No you don’t get it.

If you are so concerned with long queues, why didn’t you transfer out of there when the transfers were still free? You had your chance to transfer out. Now you must stay there or pay the fee.

ArenaNet can now make money off players that don’t appreciate the long queues and are willing to pay the transfer fee. It’s a very profitable situation for them.

Because we have server pride, because we playing on that server from start and build with hard work community on this server, why we should go now just because we did well and push this server to T3 what attract bandwagoners and other easy riders?

So for example Country you living and Your government decide to open border for emigrants but did this without any control and get flooded to point they cant handle it any more so at that point they shall drop homes and move to other country?

I guess for people like you that doesn’t matter a but for us is important to stop it because that getting to the point where we cant play any more as guilds, as WvW alliance

Also this system make some servers like prisons with dying WvW and without chance to get better as they have huge base of pve players and little or non WvW population

Wow it really sounds like a catastrophe the way you are describing things. I am pretty sure you are exaggerating the long queues and such. Guilds cannot play together? There are 4 maps you know. I really cannot imagine that all 4 maps have long long queues 24 hours per day 7 days per week.

Please calm down and let the dust settle. Free transfers just ended a few days ago so there will be an adjustment period of up to 1 month. Also remember the ratings reset this Friday so it will be almost a new game for many of the servers.

Happy fighting in World vs World! I won’t see you on the battlefield though because I play on the NA side.

I’d totally agree with you if what you posted had anything to do with the OPs point. Let me restate it in a single sentence for you:

Because paid transfer is by full population with no correlation to WvWvW participation, large servers with low WvWvW participation have a harder time bolstering their ranks than medium servers with high WvWvW participation.

Uh no. Paid transfers aren’t meant to help any server “bolster their ranks”. The fees are now in place to discourage mass server transfers.

You and every other server had their time to recruit with free transfers already. Now the free transfers are over, you must pay the fee or stay where you are. The end.

Quit whining about gem prices. ArenaNet is a business and needs to make money. The prices are fine as is. And if you want to server transfer then go earn some gold/gems.

I did this with all 8 professions. Greatsword Guardian was the easiest.
