Guild Wars 2

Eh, let them duel. It’s not hurting anyone.

It can be confusing to know which teammate needs help and which is duelling; I will often use /say and just say “duel?” … and if no response, I jump in and help. Most often, those who are duelling will say “y” or something — then I sit and watch and wait for my turn

DeceiverX.8361:

If EU wasn’t a lag-fest, I’d love to try playing there since their WvW community is a lot more solid than NA’s it seems.

I actually find I lag more on NA servers than I do in EU. Someone explained it was because I live on the East Coast NA, so the ping is better. Odd. But true

Edited to add; Rikit, I’ll take your word for it .. the minute I see math, brain shuts down, lol.

DeceiverX.8361:

Realistically speaking a thief isn’t gonna stealth a blob, either. That’d take simultaneous blasts on a single BP across the entire blob while all standing on the same location every few seconds.

Even renowned guild groups like Agg and EP are not so tight and coordinated to make this work, otherwise they’d have done so for a really long time.

Lol you haven’t played vs Kodash

My second day on EU (two years ago), scouting Klovan, I see three Kodash appear and watch very, very closely. Suddenly a previously entirely invisible blob of 20 appeared at the front gate, with six golems. All thieves did it. Was jaw dropping. Knew then that I loved EU WvW, lol.

Yes but the decoy and prestige are self-only and do have a shorter timer cooldown, but do not affect any other players — so even if they paired up, they could only invis a group for 14 seconds total (each) — and mass invis has a 90 second cooldown. Veil is 90 seconds as well. (And decoy is 40 seconds, prestige is the only fast one really at 30 seconds).

So I can’t see how they could permastealth. Something else is up there.

Not sure how two mesmers could remain permanently invis. I suspect there’s other classes at play too and maybe the OP just doesn’t understand the mechanics?

The timer on PU only adds two seconds to existing stealth for a total of 10 seconds with the elite skill. Other invis spells are 5secs or less of stealth. Then all have a really really long cooldown time, so you can’t pop invis over and over to get permastealth.

Poor Junkpile. Nobody gets his humour

Shadowresli.3782:

Wrong forum, belongs in PVE.

On topic: for a good Com in EotM, see my signature

You shouldn’t have gone for the grub. :p

Nope. I’m specced for roaming, gear etc., and it seems the only class not suffering is guards.

I’ve stopped playing until they figure it out.

Would only work if all servers were renamed something completely different, and even then NA would kitten itself all over again by stacking.

Although it could prove a financial win for Anet with the transfer fees, lol.

I still think it’s cheap, lol. And thankfully, only about three servers (EU) use it.

I still would like anet to revert back to the old fov. There was something poetic about players smooshing the three-monitor setup guys, over and over.

Disingenuous statements of this nature, do not help the issue. Servers do not do anything of this sort. Players do.

I prefer to keep the current FoV, as it isn’t that big of a provlem to deal with. I am waiting for HoT before worry g much about it.

So I’m gathering you were one of the three-monitor guys that got spanked a lot eh? Lol

Also:

dis·in·gen·u·ous
?dis?n?jenyo?o?s/
adjective
not candid or sincere, typically by pretending that one knows less about something than one really does.
synonyms: insincere, dishonest, untruthful, false, deceitful, duplicitous, lying, mendacious; hypocritical
“that innocent, teary-eyed look is just part of a disingenuous act”

Nothing in my statement(s) was dishonest. Or did you pick the wrong word?

I wish they’d give us four trait lines. I’d be happy with four

I just found the gw2.exe file on my hard drive, and right clicked as administrator. That fixed the issue for me.

I actually flipped over to my necro (mesmer is my main), for giggles. Mesmer is all about evading, necro is all about giving hugs .. COME TO MEEEE! WAIT! WHY ARE YOU RUNNING AWAY?!! I JUST WANT TO HUG YOU!!!

But yes, I took an odd pride in playing a class that not many wanted to … bummed a little I lost my beloved hybrid build too (used four trait lines and now forced into three ).

It also affects any kind of AOE — condition, fire, retaliation, feedback, etc …

Also Furste: Your PS above was almost cheerful. I’m shocked! :p

Coyote.7031:

Jayne.9251:

AOE apparently has no limits now (it used to hit only 5) and zerg buffs are being perpetually maintained without timing out.

Some funky bugs.

Is that what it is? Got wrecked, stopped going to WvW since no one wants a rally bot and I’ll come back when I have PVT gear or something.

PVT gear won’t help. Conditions are affected as well — you melt before you even get one skill cast off, and it hits ALL in range, not even a 25 cap limit.

EU blobs are running all guardians, if that helps at all. Apparently they are the only class that is survivable in WvW atm.

Eh, it was funny initially, but it leaves very little chance for survival, especially those condi deaths. You’re dead before you can even cast 1 skill.

And it’s more than 25 .. appears to hit anyone within range, regardless of numbers.

Here’s a hint for those struggling in towers and keeps: Stand outside your tower and keep before you place siege and use the adjusted fov.

Ah many have asked

It served me well for many years. Was robust for scouting/roaming/1v1 and useful in blobs (although not as useful as those specced specifically for blobbing).

It’s kind of pointless to share it now since it’s dead, but I will miss it, and truth be told I had it so long I didn’t pay attention to the actual specs after a year or so (if you don’t change something you tend to forget the names, etc). Maybe I can find a hybrid of the hybrid and play around.

AOE apparently has no limits now (it used to hit only 5) and zerg buffs are being perpetually maintained without timing out.

Some funky bugs.

The new changes sadly have killed off my beloved hybrid build that I’ve had for close to three years now.

Now I’m forced to use three options, whereas before I used four, and it was quite effective.

Not sure how to feel about this. But I suspect I’m few among many who run the more conventional builds.

Sniff.

I’d be happy if there was a buff that would let doly’s trample people who attacked them.

This is so odd that it appears to be happening NA only…. weird.

EU gets world peace day, you guys get God smite

Considering there are “windows” when a full server becomes open, I’d assume active players online.

I understand what the OP is asking, but I’m inclined to agree with Shadow.

They can’t continue to keep producing content without some kind of financial support. If you have enjoyed the game (warts and all) then it’s not a huge amount of money every two or three years.

Gaile Gray.6029:

Hey all,

Thanks for these reports. The team is working on a correction for this issue. We don’t have a timeframe for this just now, but it is actively being reviewed and worked on.

A rogue Mort, Gaile?

Sadly those aren’t new, they’re about two years old. Jack does some fantastic stuff, wish he’d do more, but think he stopped playing GW2.

Question, were you playing SFR yesterday and hanging out on top of the unreachable rocks by lords room Hills on PSBL?

To the OP. I got there two years ago, then decided to move to EU.

Completely different atmosphere. Was a good move for me.

Lol typical scout asks about refreshing

I still think it’s cheap, lol. And thankfully, only about three servers (EU) use it.

I still would like anet to revert back to the old fov. There was something poetic about players smooshing the three-monitor setup guys, over and over.

Lol I love how EU RNG basically sticks its tongue out at any statistical predictions

God bless EU RNG.

zengara.8301:

In all honesty, I have never heard anything less usefull than a ranger in WvW

You should have seen Augury Rock on reset a couple weeks back. Complete ranger/bear zerg. They mowed the gate down in like 2 minutes. So many arrows … ><

If you were unable to counter it, had zero ability to do so, then yes, I’d say it’s an exploit that needs to be fixed asap. However, there are ways to prevent it, you can nuke the siege down, and anything else, given how many other things need to be fixed first, feels like whining.

Sorry.

I think it’s the other way around Read the thread. You CAN destroy siege in invul zones, you just can’t damage them.

Maguuma were the kings of the Necro Minion zerg — we tried it on our server and it was hilarious.

Angry Rock did a jaw-dropping ranger/bear reset zerg a month or so ago — soooo many rangers ><

It’s fun to organize these class raids on servers. It can be quite hilarious, and no, you don’t need TS to organize it. You can do it yourself .. just advertise for a week and pick a date.

P.S. I’m kinda sad I missed this event — I think it would have been hilarious to have seen you all coming! Well done!

Get a balli up and nuke it.

Chris Cleary.8017:

PATHETIC MORTAL! THE VOID BECKONS!

Wonder how many folks get that you’re Mort

RIP Terry.

I personally find it kind of cheap to do, it’s usually employed by the server with 80-blob outside and 15 defenders inside. But meh.

I found ways around it. You can, too.

I was surprised by the new camera angles after returning from a year away from game.

Someone was kind enough to post these, so you can review and adjust your siege defense accordingly. I spent a month puzzling out new placement, but it’s possible, if not the most ideal.

Here’s the post:

It’s been a while since the camera changes but apperently the “fighting” servers aren’t up to date. Get some inspiration from the germans :

Personally I wish they’d just revert to the old camera views. In the past, players had creative ways to deal with those few who had three monitor setups: they’d be flagged the moment they got onto map and mercilessly killed first, over and over.

I adore underwater combat. Was sad to see quaggan lake go.

People just need to learn how to fight underwater, because they don’t do it often enough — it’s a viable and quite fun process.

Merge low tier servers, A dead server low population is a waste of bandwidth

disband the top 3 servers and let them fill in the other servers.

They’ll just go to the next top three and the situation will revert. NA players need to organize and spread out. They’ve done this to themselves.

NA players don’t make the difference between Tier 1 and Tier 2 in NA. In fact, NA prime-wise, T2 has the larger populations, and T1 is comparable to T3. The difference is in the other 18 hours of the day and there’s not enough of those players to spread out

Lol wait. So you’re saying T1 NA didn’t stack?

Interesting.

This is NA we’re talking about Atoss

EU already spreads out.

Many the casual has gone into WvW, found a welcoming and fun teaching community — and become hardcore.

Not to mention it would make it a nightmare for any organized guild to effectively get onto a single map together — it’s sometimes difficult now to do that.

Naw you know on reset there’s sometimes a mass disconnect? And then everyone scrambles to log back in?

But if it happened last week and you weren’t green, then I suspect it’s not the bug.

Go do a tour of your map and find the afkers. Try JPs and the PVE zones (centaurs etc).

FWIW, it would be every green server if the bug was back, and not seeing anyone else complaining about it — yet ..

There used to be an old bug with the green only maps a long long time ago. Perhaps it’s back?

Have your players zone out of map and back in and tell them not to log out from WvW map or a “ghost” of them remains and takes up space.

In fact, if many of your servermates crashed, it’s possible that’s what’s causing the false queue.
