Guild Wars 2

Liston.9708:

Ascended weapon/armor chests do drop as loot…..

1803 ranks… At least 4k hours of WvW. No such thing as ascended chests ever seen.

Sorry, I don’t belive you. I’ve only dropped rings.

Zaxares.5419:

Heh, for those of us with deep pockets, sure. But I dare say the kind of player who buys their Berzerker Exotics with Badges of Honor is not likely to have the ability to throw around gold like that.

Well, it’s also the same kind that won’t have money to make ascended so it’s all good…

Are you looking with a toon level 80?

Caliburn.1845:

Do you think that the servers in the top tiers of WvW just magically landed there? There are structural reasons for those servers to be there, and often those structures were aided or created by community leaders.

The only reason these servers are there is because they have more people than the other servers in the game…

The only way to get a mix of stats like celestial would be mixing various different stats… Otherwise, you’ll have to keep making charged quartz at the rate of 1/day to get to 30 or even 40-50 depending on your weapon set if you want to go full celestial.

I think you meant “Looking for people to fund my xfer to BG”… Amirite?

LostBalloon.6423:

or you can do it the good old way, fight the enemy off instead of hiding behind the walls and take out their siege.

Try to do that in a 5v25 scenario and tell me the results.

But no, I don’t agree with the OP. Catapults are fine.

Nanyetah Elohi.4852:

Tarnished Coast can beat BG now.

We have good guilds and commanders. Our level of play is even improving noticeably week to week. I think we are top WvW server now.

TC was able to beat BG in the past too… But it’s normal since everyone know BG hibernate between the seasons.

Condi bunker warrior…

I still think cliffs are stronger than stairs as you can actually avoid death from stairs if you stop a few seconds before your HP runs out. Cliffs are usually insta-death.

Shonuff.2354:

Anyhoo post has turned silly like most on forums.

This thread was silly the moment you created it…

felivear.1536:

What about the overall WvW experience? Is it pretty much identical as far as the goals, style, etc?

Have they created any means for a solo/small groups to be effective/productive?

Thanks!

All the same…

SpellOfIniquity.1780:

EOTM zergs consist mostly of uplevels and under-skilled players. It’s easy to farm bags from players the same way it’s easy to farm karma and experience. If there’s a half decent commander who wants to PvP they’ll probably stalk the other zergs to farm bags. It does happen but it’s not as frequent as the perpetual karma train. Also, on the subject of farming bags, 250 Heavy Loot Bags are worth more than 15g. So it brings in a pretty nice profit if you do it often.

You don’t get heavy loot bags from uplevels.

Diru.4531:

Disabling seige is really starting to make fights incredibly boring. I dont think that change will help much at all. The siege trick just needs to delay the attack and provide counterattack advantage, right?

“Fights” and “siege” usually don’t go on the same sentence…

yanniell.1236:

What would be this build with 1200 regen per second?

I think it would go somenthing like this. I got 1252hps with the banner active, full adrenaline and sigil of life stacked. And I’m not even counting the regeneration boon…

spayced.2016:

It’s very strong and can do okay damage but against a player who is tight on defense it will easily be a stalemate like any bunker variant.

Yeah, I fought fastcar on the past with my engi (Full knights)… Ended on stalemate since I couldn’t outdps the regen and he couldn’t damage me enough because of my high armor.

Sandrox.9524:

Is things gonna be still contested? (waypoints would be blocked incase of attack?)

WP’s get blocked when damage is done to gate/wall/lord. Destroying/Disabling siege never contested a WP.

Nanyetah Elohi.4852:

we have plenty of rally bait most of the time, thx.

If you have rallybait in your GvG your guild have problems…

Nanyetah Elohi.4852:

please don’t bring a zerk ele to a zerg I am in. Thx.

Why? You’re too lazy to protect your backline?

epiicsloth.1846:

Im sorry to announce this, but members of Darkhaven, are trying to snipe the best guilds off the low tier EU servers, for there night capping and pug commanding , you dont see EU server members coming to NA to steal guilds , we cope with what we can instead of trying to make a bandwagon to a server.

Sorry but my server lost some guilds to SFR before… Your statement is false.

Jim Hunter.6821:

Just give the option to pay with karma or badges instead of gold. Or better yet, let us pay with blood stone dust and empyreal fragments. Lord knows I get enough of that garbage.

Can i pay with stars and bricks? I refine that kitten so it don’t load up on my bank… (Altho i already have a stack of stars)

Pinkamena Diane Pie.8054:

Well we have a red poster here now, but looking at their title, it’s Game Support Lead.

Where’s the person who is supposed to be here for WvW?
I think Devon is one but we all know Devon’s commitment here.

Well, this thread is about In-Game suport… So it’s about right that the Game Suport lead is the one posting here…

Idk what you trying to start here…

uberkingkong.8041:

Also, because its merged servers together so, don’t have to worry too much about being on an ‘’empty’ server.

This part is questionable, as sometimes you get to be outnumbered on blue or red if you didn’t joined right at the start of the round.

Fuzzion.2504:

And dont forget Anet considers WvW important but not as important as sPvP as they really want GW2 to become the next Dota

Mid or feed…

uberkingkong.8041:

They looking for a fight, when nobody is there to fight, they wait right outside until someone like you logs in, so they can fight you.

I don’t really call that a fight…

There are people who like to be on the lesser populated servers and there are people who like to be on the blob servers.

I’m sure that most of the people that didn’t wanted to be on bronze already left. Otherwise there wouldn’t be so much “near dead” servers as we have now. It used to be ET alone, but now we have SoR/AR/Kain/SF and possibly FC/BP on near dead status.

Merging bronze servers will make the people that want to be on a low population unhappy, as you are forcing them unto a server with more people (somenthing that they could have went for if they wanted, since we can transfer anywhere). I’m willing to belive that it will result on losing more players than actually fixing anything at all.

If anything, EU and NA should be merged to try minimize the coverage problem. But then, there are the latency issues…

Dhampyr.2104:

Wow, way to read part of the post and make assumptions. Just for clarification’s sake (although I thought my original post was pretty clear)… if you don’t have map queues, there’s nothing at all keeping you on the map being spawn camped. Move maps.

I’m pretty sure you know that there are people who don’t like Borderland maps and only play on EBG… Just as there are people who hate EBG with passion and don’t go to it for anything. So while spawn camping is happening on EBG, the people that only like to play on EBG are more likely to just quit for the day than going to the other maps.

While making the enemy quit is a valid strategy to win ppt (no enemies mean you control everything longer), that mean the game will end up becoming dull for the week as there will be less and less people to fight.

Some keeps can use inner cannons to cover outer gates from inside.

Pffft, I just press F in the middle of the fight because it’s glowing on my screen, annoying me… I rarely miss any loot at all. If people are dying because they took like 1 sec to press F, they are bad and deserve to lose loot. Seriously…

Straegen.2938:

If you want a precursor, PvE is going to be your best shot. Some say EotM is a good place but I have little experience there.

Mystic toilet is more viable than farming PvE… Since farming PvE and farming WvW result on the same kind of loot.

I know someone who got 9 precursors from the toilet. I just don’t dare to toss my money there…

I dropped a Energizer from a player, and a Rage from a tower guard.

Dhampyr.2104:

If you’re getting spawn camped, I doubt you have any map queues

I had to laugh at this part… So if my server don’t have a map queue I deserve to be spawn camped?

I am amused…

Rimmy.9217:

Why won’t anyone else bump?.

Lack of coverage on the forum…

WTF there still queues? I don’t recall seeing one on WvW since 2012…

Unless you have friends on the server that intent to help you I doubt anyone is willing to dig their pockets…. Even more for someone that transfered out of the server when we were on the rotting bottom….

Not that DB would be much different…

It’s more likely to DB to swap with FA than fighting them, that’s why then chance of DB fighting FA is so low. You can see that the chance of DB getting a T2 match is actually 17% from which 15% is YB/SoS and 2% is YB/FA.

About the chance of SBI and DR facing DB: it it because IoJ/CD/NSP can roll lower than SBI/DR (if these two roll high), and that will push these servers on DB matchup. However for YB to get in T1, they need to be within 200 of rating of the 3rd to even have a chance of rolling higher than 3rd (with the 3rd rolling lower than YB).

You should look on the second table instead of the first… I think it’s easier to understand.

Junkpile.7439:

caveman.5840:

there is 0 reason to defend

If you defend enemy can’t cap. It’s good reason.

Dem bags… And dem tears… These are also good reasons…

If I can bash these gates like PvE gates it’s not an issue… But if you want us to require the use of siege to take a camp, no thank you.

Actually I think they get quite a bit of money from people buying gems to transfer because they don’t like how WvW is on their server.

OS and the memories of the “good” ol’ times…

Luvpie.8350:

Everyone is coming back from AA since that turned out to be bad…

Hmmmm doesn’t look like… Mag still a ded sevr…

The funiest part of the oil is to use the dome if you have oil mastery and watch the idiots (mostly p3wp3w rangers) kill themselves.

Deli.1302:

Chris.3290:

If they put GvG in the expansion they won’t have to update WvW much. They make it allow for 3 different match sizes (10s, 15s, and 20s); then balance it so that combat > gimmicks….
WvW would look a lot different even 1 month later in terms of who’s playing, and how they are playing.

No thanks. If anet is gonna add gvg it better be the gw1 version.

People like the GW2 version of FACESMASH organized fighting…

Jeknar.6184:

sephiroth.4217:

BL’s – North camp
EB – Pang, Dane and Golanta – Shortest routes to the keep but these camps are also targeted by enemies, alot.
(opinion based off upgrading keeps on reset or what not)

Actually it’s rogues for green and not golanta… The “Mine” camps have slightly smaller routes than the “Mill” ones.

Thanks Jek, not sure what the community would do without you telling us our own opinions are wrong every day

2/10 sarcastic comment against an logical response. Very poor trolling atempt.

The “mine” camps routes ARE SHORTER (your opinion won’t change a fact)… Altho the difference between rogues/golanta and danelon/umberglade is too small to be percetible (it’s not like speldan/pangloss).

I can, however, assume you preffer golanta because Jerrifer’s have a much higher strategic value than Aldon (Since Jerrifers can easily treb outer and inner LL and is very easy to defend compared to Aldon), which is a logical choice.

Well, EotM champions scale. I don’t know why WvW ones doesn’t…

TheGrimm.5624:

Based on the responses so far let me spin it a bit. Would anyone have an issue if the map was moved into the regular borderlands as well? Aka added to EB and the 3 borderlands for regular WvW play as well? Leave server population out from the question for a minute, is there anything besides the garrison keeps not being equally weighted that would make opposed to this? If so..what? Good hunting!

The mechanics for each colour actually make EotM way too imbalanced for competitive play. Here is the red side case:

If the weaker server is red, their keep will just be farmed over and over because of the workshop… It’s impossible to defend against a horde of mobile siege. If people are a bit smart they won’t stand udner AC fire and the wall will melt in seconds.

If the strongest server is red, they can sweep anything they want with a horde of mobile siege. It’s like a golem rush, but for free… They have the bodies to escort the devourers and a lot of people to be on devourers themselves.

Rage.8197:

All 6 of you….

well that’s 6 against 0 atm

Ark Bladesteele.2943:

@Michael,

did your tests with these new tools yield any results? I also hope that you will be spending time outside of T1, because there are still thousands of us down on the lower tiers.

Well, I heard Sialoquent is gone…

3/10 troll atempt… Trying too hard.
