Anyone have a good build that utilizes the focus? For WvW preferably.
I think Sylvari is the best race for WvW because they have the best racial skill in the game: Grasping Vines!
Unfortunately for me I made 7 non-Sylvari characters and only 1 Sylvari.
It’s a lot harder to play my non-Sylvari characters when they don’t have access to this cool skill. I know advanced players will just teleport out of it but still it’s really handy for trapping noobs! Hahahaha!
Hoping for a fun match guys.
Right now Fort Aspenwood and Crystal Desert are separated by 2 ranking points so we’re not sure who will start as blue or red!
One change to WvW that I really hated was when they took out the ability for you to contact your opponents via the “report” function.
I know why this was done, for fear of harassment…but I think it has done more harm than good. You see, before this change, I actually talked with quite a few people on other servers, and made friends with other players I enjoyed fighting…many of them even wound up coming to my server.
Being able to talk with my opponents actually helped build a community in our little match-up, and gave the enemy servers a “personality” beyond the “blue server” or the “red server.” I feel like WvW has actually lost something by shutting down the lines of communication.
And as for “harassment” I think I may have had like ONE person out of the 10 I talked to actually try to “harass” me, and I could have easily just /ignored him if I wanted to.
Anyway, I’m not asking to be able to talk to anyone in WvW without restriction. I would be more than happy if there was an option that you could enable to accept message from enemy servers…that way only players that WANT to hear from others in WvW could, and people that are afraid of “harassment” would be safe in their little bubble.
What do you all think of this? Do you also lament the loss of communication between servers in WvW?
There already is a way to talk to the enemy. You invite them to your party.
1) Target them.
2) type /invite in your chat box.
They’ll have three options:
1) Accept request
2) Decline request
3) Leave the request pending
If they leave the request pending. X-server Invader will eventually turn into their player name.
Happy chatting.

Can’t you just right click on them and send party invite just like you would someone on your own server? I’m missing the part of this that is secret and unknown…
No you can’t right click and invite them.
Here’s how you invite an enemy player from another server.
1) Target them.
2) type /invite in your chat box.
They’ll have three options:
1) Accept request
2) Decline request
3) Leave the request pending
If they leave the request pending. X-server Invader will eventually turn into their player name.
Happy chatting.

If you want to deal lots of damage I suggest Guardian, Thief, or Warrior. My top pick would be Thief.
This issue happens everyday.
Most of the time when I try to whisper another player I get one to ten minute delays from the time I hit Enter to send the message.
The message is not echoed on the screen and received by the other player 1 to 10 minutes later.
Team Chat, Map Chat, Party Chat, and Guild chat are all echoed and seen by the other players immediately.
But whispers are almost always delayed. Sometimes it works perfectly but most of the time the whispers are delayed by minutes.
Poor mesmers. They’ll be so much less useful in WvW now. Even their moa morph got nerfed.
Ah well at least they still got time warp.
That was an amazing fight. An opposing army at both the NE and NW walls, with breaches in both walls, and we held them both off! Very well done Coast!
This is an amazing matchup so far. Well fought Yaks/CD!
This is what my mini map looked like: Imgur: http://i.imgur.com/9QmBw.jpg
and attached.
I remember this fight well. Some people on the Crystal Desert side really messed up their trebuchet placement and I believe the bad placement and ineffective use of trebuchets doomed our siege of the garrison.
Yak’s Bend was already sieging the garrison for hours and eventually they just all gave up because we noticed that they had the outmanned buff.
We know why orbs were finally removed THIS week. It’s thanks to the tier 1 match and all the complaints that were generated there.
I wonder why it took so long to resolve the issue. The lower tiers have been complaining about the problems for weeks.
Now that our poor orbs are gone the borderland maps feel kind of dull.
I hope ArenaNet introduces some new exciting mechanic to keep players interested in the borderlands maps.
Do I need to redownload/reinstall GW2 for new computer or can I just copy the files from my old hard drive?

My new comp is Windows 8 desktop PC
My old comp was Windows Vista laptop
I thought the dat file was the same on all computers but I’m not sure.
I’m probably leaving Blackgate because of this match and the way we dominated last week. Apparently, a bunch of super-organized WvW guilds transferred to Blackgate. That’s going to make every match boring.
So HoD how does it feel to be betrayed and backstabbed by your old friends that jumped to Blackgate.
Tier 3 isn’t exactly a low tier you know.
Home World: Crystal Desert
Guild Name: Evil Angels [EA]
Guild Website: https://twitter.com/EAguild
In-Game Contact: Isaac.6041
Focus: World vs World, PVE, character improvement
Quick Notes: Originally from the Cannith server from Dungeons and Dragons Online (DDO). We like to do Favor runs and have fun.
Hi, I’m recruiting for Evil Angels [EA], a guild on the Crystal Desert server.
We’re about having fun and achieving results through a little teamwork.
We like to learn and help each other and play to each others strengths and conveniences while minimizing weaknesses.
WvW is an important aspect of the game and we enjoy it very much. We also do story missions, world map completions, Structured PVP, etc. when we need breaks from WvW.
We appreciate all professions and the value they add to the game. However, we favor the Mesmer more than the other professions and encourage all guild members to have a mesmer character.
That being said we do not force guild members to build their characters in any strict way. We will provide recommendations and suggestions based on our experiences but ultimately, character decisions rest in the hands of individual players.
We would like all guild members to be active and representing the guild whenever possible. Our members are free to join other guilds and make alliances with other guilds as they please. It is our hope and desire that we build guild loyalty through the achievement of common goals.
Our playstyle is mostly relaxed. We like to do things that are convenient. However, we can get intense and enjoy fast-paced action in World vs World battles. We know that big numbers and big zergs in WvW can be fun to tag along with but sometimes it is better to regroup and strategize.
Good communication amongst the members of the guild and and the greater Crystal Desert community will be one of the keys to our success.
Thanks and hope to see you on the Crystal Desert server. Contact me Isaac.6041 if you would like to join Evil Angels [EA]. Or send a tweet https://twitter.com/EAguild

I think it’s pretty amusing the bot operators are willing to risk being killed in a PVP zone by other players so they can farm krait with their bots all day. They must rack up a lot of gold still even with the risk of being PKed.
Caullie’s Crossing has disappeared.
It’s really simple. ArenaNet is scared to nerf warriors because the majority of players play warriors and they don’t want to anger that crowd. This is what they did in Guild Wars 1 and it’s not surprising they are doing it again.
What about Americans? We can’t play on your European servers either now?
