Guild Wars 2

ProRulez.5207:

Ye i heard it was easy when it started, but as of now we are against stronger enemies compared to the very beggining of the season.

Uh no. Far Shiverpeaks and Piken Square are the same enemies we had on the first week of the tournament. These aren’t “stronger enemies”; they’re the same.

Nope you can AFK and cause events to fail just like the dead people at grenth and tequatl that won’t waypoint to reduce scaling. Like I ran past a couple of defeated players dead bodies even though they cried for help. It’s not griefing to do nothing to help the dead people so it’s not griefing to do nothing to help the lyssa defense event.

Join the Gandara teamspeak and beg for help. Play WvW 24/7 and find a commander that is willing to go for the tougher towers and keeps.

The so called griefers are doing you all a service because eventually so many people will be frustrated at not being able to get the trait that eventually there will be changes made. By the way, this isn’t the first thread complaining about the lyssa defense event.

embarbarada.2096:

Please, change the World Bosses Schedule!!! I can’t do Tetqualt any more!!! Are you kidding me? Why always at the same hour??? I have to work…. I’m in a small guild….

Agreed. Tequatl, Karka Queen, and Triple Trouble need to be active at least 6 times a day, not 3.

Navrcek.3942:

Goldenwing: Yes, you are completely true, but i mean that by the principle should be all the items on legendary weapons accesible by normal play, not by TP. But I can get through it, since gold is not the biggest problem for me.

Please. TP is a part of normal play. Putting asinine restrictions on yourself won’t help you get gift of color / legendary weapons any faster.

Well now that megaservers are completely rolled out it seems unified guild chapters should happen anytime now.

I really wish there was an extra use for empyreal…I know you can craft backpieces with bloodstone.

What’s the cheapest ascended quality backpiece at the moment?

Is the Light of Dwayna?
or Tempered Spinal Blades?
or something else?

Megaserver already exist in EotM … it was the first megaserver

No, it just lumps all players of a certain color together. The megaserver system prioritizes a certain instance for you based on a number of variables. To the best of my knowledge nothing similar occurs in EotM – though I’d love for you to prove me wrong on that.

megaserver prioritization doesn’t actually work so they’re actually just another word for overflow servers which is exactly what EOTM is. examples are guildies doing guild missions that end up on different megaservers. the same thing happens in EOTM where unpartied guildies can end up in different overflows whereas partied guildies end up in the same overflow. There, I proved you wrong.

Megaserver already exist in EotM … it was the first megaserver

I think it’s only a matter of time before WvW is poisoned with the megaserver disease that has fully engulfed PVE maps now.

DAoC had “clusters” and other games have server mergers, and it seems that GW2 is going to have the same even in WvW. But there are a few things that still need to be addressed like queues before megaservers is rolled out into WvW. We currently have 27 EU servers and 24 NA servers and my prediction is that by the end of the year we’ll only have half as many.

O sure, they’ve given assurances otherwise, but after the bulldozer rollout of megaservers in PVE, I fully expect similar consequences in WvW.

Well remember Guild Wars 1 was a megaserver except you could select the instances. Besides the language, guild mission, and world event issues, I don’t see a huge problem with megaservers.

Is it true? All maps are part of the megaserver now?

golems still don’t remain after a patch?

Thanks to ArenaNet for disabling the chat filters for EOTM

I got my first ascended weapon chest today at rank 670. When did you get your first and how often do they seem to occur?

TPMN.1483:

I will only say this once:
The megaserver idea looked good on paper (like the FoTM leaderboards)- in reality it is a failure breaking up server communities, guilds and a cause of immense frustration for many players (lag, zergs, fixed timer schedules, guild missions).

The failure to split EU communities by there home server (esp language based ones)- shows the lack of US understanding on different societies work. Europe is a very complex hub of many languages, cultures, histories and styles.
It is not like a state based US system where everyone just “gets on together”.
The auto blocking of other languages is not helpful – now everyone who is on a US server will be completely clueless and unable to communicate between our Chinese friends and English speaking friends.

The sooner this concept (of megaserver) in it’s current form is rolled back the better.

No I don’t believe Chinese is affected. This language change only affects French, German, and Spanish.

This option will force players to use English text language in Edge of the Mists or else their scouting reports and commands are likely to be ignored.

Yes, this option might be OK for PVE but for EOTM it will cause more problems than it solves.

Fror.2163:

What the hell is this solution?

You prefer that I don’t see people talking in some languages rather than tune your algorithm to allow me to play with more people sharing my language?

ArenaNet, have you really thought this through? Really?

What we want is to be able to play with people! More people sharing the same language.

When I switch language in my interface, it’s to change the language of the interface, not the language of my communication with others!

You have about zero clues regarding what your customers want. All you see is your money going to waste with too many servers and can’t think of what is good for your customers!

You’re doing it wrong. Completely wrong.

Exactly. Turning this option on by default doesn’t solve any problems. It creates problems because now you have a whole bunch of hidden messages that could have been actually written in English or whatever language you understand.

Lalocat.6793:

I can’t find the option to turn off not seeing other languages in chat. I looked in general options and chat options.

It’s in the chat area itself at the gear icon. Boy ArenaNet’s options are so user-friendly. NOT.

EDIT: EOTM is fixed now because the chat filter is disabled.

#Desotears sweet

When is this supposed to come out? And are NA and EU chapters going to be unified?

come baruch bay and kill grenth everyone! thanks Netko.

Are the timers for the Arah events still working? Anyone know a EU server that will be doing Grenth soon?

Surprised no one is moaning about the nerf to AR or no one visits this forum anyway.

Sounds great. I’ll be using my conditions all day all night.

Well it looks like Runes got buffed overall. I’m thinking of using Rune of Strength or Rune of Mesmer (but wouldn’t know what to put in 6th slot except maybe Ruby Orb).

According to posters on the dungeon forum, the dungeons are a lot easier now with the ferocity “nerf” and we’re actually doing MORE dmg now in the downscaled dungeons like AC CoF etc

I was hoping for a 5% to 10% reduction but they decided to do a very drastic cut on silver/gold income with what seems like a over 50% reduction in silver from event completions.

Some guesses as to how people will adjust to this radical change:

1) Do the easy dungeons
2) Do world events (which seems to have gotten buffed)
3) Quit playing. ^^

This still needs to be fixed for those 8 servers.

Isaac.6041:

What are you talking about? There ARE unique items and armor as rewards for WvW. They are called Mistforged Hero Weapons and they’re going to be handed out to the players on the servers that won over 300 tournament Tickets.

They arent yet. And they are handed out for a limited time, with limited resources that you get by your server winning. In other words, blobby servers get more then others. Because… of reasons.

PvE has gotten this much new skins at one point on a monthly interval. WvW got unique skins after 20months.

Let that sink in for a moment. A game, advertised where making your character look unique. Had one of its three major gamemodes completely lack unique visuals, for 20months.
And as i said, they arent out yet. By the time they are itll be 21months.

No you must participate in WvW and get the Mist Runner title to get the Mistforged Hero Weapon. It’s not just based on your server winning.

Could we please get the scores fixed. It seems the matches and the gw2wiki are correct this week but this “official” scoreboard has some errors.

Pinkamena Diane Pie.8054:

I did not want to sign up to another forum just for matchup threads where people keep complaining that either their zergs isnt larger than the enemy zergs, or that the enemy zergs plays at a different time to their zergs so they are always outnumbered.

But TBH anet should never have closed down the matchup forums. The only reason they closed them was because it was too much effort to moderate them as there were too many threads all the problems with WvW that still have not been fixed.

Agreed. Why should I have to register at an unofficial forum to post about activities in this game.

List of incorrect scores EU:

Jade Sea
Baruch Bay
Kodash

Mattargul.9235:

Until ANet gets rid of 24/7 scoring in favor of 4 or 6 hour scoring time blocks, removes scoring completely, or continually balances servers by force across all time zones, this will stay broken.

Nah, we already have edge of the mists for 4-hour wvw blocks.

Just buy a commander tag and go to edge of the mists and karma train.

You can still do Edge of the Mists.

Hey everybody, the leaderboards for the Spring Tournament are now live on guildwars2.com

https://leaderboards.guildwars2.com/en/na/wvwmain

thanks Mark

yes if it’s only 3 seconds theres not much value in that. it should be at least 5 seconds.

I just maxed out supply master to see the siege site invulnerable thing but I checked my siege site and didn’t see any buff. Does this ability actually work or is there just a really short timer?

Battle Standard should just rez the NPC to 25% health, right now I think it’s 50% which is too much.

you can bank account bound items

If you want to join zergs go to Edge of the Mists.

It seems that crafting from 450 to 475 requires 9 exotics. And then crafting from 475 to 500 requires 10 or 11 exotics based on the guides from gw2crafts.net.

If I were to use a crafting booster, how many exotics would I need to craft to get from 450 to 500? (Actually I’m starting from 460 to 470)

If 470, I’m calculating 2 exotics to get to 475 then 10 or 11 to get to 500
If 460, 5 or 6 exotics to get to 475 then 10 or 11 to 500?

Probably overthinking it but wonder if the crafting booster would help a lot here.

Green keep just needs to be easier to capture the boss takes a while with a medium size group of random players.
