Guild Wars 2

When I read the title, I was hoping for something along the lines of upkeep on structures. Doing tasks within them to reward people who are defending important towers. Mainly when not under attack.

Things like even siegerazor are disliked. We really don’t need anymore spotlight on pve characters in wvw.

Fully upgrading a tower can take a good chunk of what I make in a day.

There was a post not too long ago stating we’re getting new WvW specific gear in exchange for badges. We can only hope.

I don’t think they specifically mentioned badges as the currency.

Dynnen.6405:

Doesn’t siege cap at 10 players?

They cap at 50.

Yep. Map went down.

CureForLiving.5360:

Why are you even on the forums? You seem to very much not like GW2…

Anyway back on topic, youtubing GW2 Manifesto turned up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35BPhT-KI1E but I don’t see any Liviathan.

He didn’t say he didn’t like the game, just that the manifesto was a package of lies. Which it was.

The Leviathan is in the last 30 seconds of the video.

Very little you can do about it when 133ish people from each side slam at the middle inside stone mist.

MiLkZz.4789:

Do you even read the forum?

26 march…

I thought their intention was culling. This won’t fix straight up lag.

EnRohbi.2187:

So, if you guys ever fall back to Tier 3 again I can expect a much more pleasant forumgoing experience? o;

Not with Maguuma around there won’t be.

It behaves exactly like temporal curtain. You can’t gain the benefit unless the buff is fully off you.

Dredge suits – When they slightly pull their Left arm backwards, and lean into it, Dodge backwards to avoid the stun

Shootsfoot.9276:

And the lack of any real mechanics in boss fights.

Although they are trying to rectify that.

I’m willing to give them the benefit of time. Even WoW’s initial release was nothing amazing as far as boss mechanics go. (They barely existed). Even after the patch from 40-60. They didn’t really start doing much until Blackwing Lair came out.

So, given a little patience, I’m sure they’ll get it right eventually. Fractals are a step in the right direction mechanic wise.

Vayne.8563:

Except that these are not necessarily profession dependent. Any number of the professions could be the support or the “bruiser”. And that makes it a very different game.

Hell you can be any of those things from fight to fight, sometimes in the same dungeon.

Yup, but by no means is the trinity gone.

Among all the kitten flinging, I’m not sure if anyone has pointed out, there’s sort of a soft trinity.

Bruiser, Dps, Support

One Bruiser, and one support makes a world of difference in ease of the dungeon. Along with proper combo field usage.

Don’t worry, the Ascended item from WvW will be an Aquabreather.

Look at this silly guy, standing on the side.

Depends on the server. Maguuma is absolutely riddled with Mesmers, while other servers we fight again have a gross abundance of Rangers.

Didn’t somone pvp mystic forge one?

I can without a doubt say I’ve only had one person attack me for a poor decision, and that was for not following his instruction. This is the Borderlands crowd though. I’ll be kitten if I’m going to command Eternal without more experience. people are volatile there.

Evalana is always welcome on Mag. Our commanders never take supply from hills!

<3333

Friend of yours? I didn’t have the heart to attack him.

I partially attribute our failure in Mag BL earlier today to my lack of experience in commanding without any ground to stand on. I really didn’t have much of an idea what to do with the 20 people I had against the 40+ people TC roaming around in a tight group. They were organized, I get that. But kitten did I have little choice but to Karma train to pull them away from the north and be forced to use those stupid breakouts.

Mag BL tonight had a queue bug, I think.

Same with DBBL.

What worked for us is telling folks to zone out of WvW before they left for the night. We noticed that people would remain as ghosts on the map long after they logged out if they just camped from WvW. Having them zone out before they logged seemed to help a bit with the bug issue.

A friend of mine often pops up as playing GW2 when he’s on Steam even when he’s been idle for hours. It’s possible that the game is just randomly launching or has odd background processes that incorrectly flag you as logged in… or it’s possible that my friend’s installation of Steam is just messed up.

Since a couple patches ago, the game has stopped closing properly, and the process has sat there running.

OutspokenAardvark.9781:

Out of curiosity, how do we compare to FA?

Do you Treb West keep for 5 hours at a time?

HOLY kitten kitten IT IS! EVERYONE HIDE!

Farout.8207:

You TC guys make me smile! Don’t worry too much about the Mag forum warriors. They’re the grumpiest bunch I have encountered so far. Maybe you guys can rub off on them.

Phrasing is important, Bub.

Looking forward to this matchup. Should be relatively balanced.

Would be nice to know what the internal cooldown is now.

Eviator.9746:

Personally I’d like to see commanders split up their zerg to cover taking of smaller objectives, deception, and defense. Something like managing squads. On DB the only thing I see commanders do is say “follow me” and “please grab supply”, then aim their zerg-ball at the next objective.

What really bugs me is when a commander says “we need more at location X” hoping to take an objective by shear numbers despite enemy entrenchment. 60 minutes having 50 people taking one well defended tower…such a waste.

Most people don’t listen, even on Maguuma, with our 20 people in our borderland chat in mumble, ask for people to volunteer for a side objective, nobody is willing.

They could only for a short time.

If I play WvW, and don’t place any siege equipment and buy no upgrades, I make 1-3G a day. Which is roughly 6 hours.

They looked terrible.

idari.4273:

Portals and Veils aren’t culling abuse, we even stack might in front of you to give your guys some time to react. Is not our fault you don’t know how to beat 16 of us. Even with 50+ pugs.

PS: to that commander who called us a zerg, here’s the SS, check online players please.
PS2: don’t tell us we’re predictable if can’t even take care about your garrison.

It’s certainly not culling abuse, but it does essentially cause culling, regardless of the intent.

I remember a couple days ago, fighting on Ebay BL, and they would stack up right in front of us, so we just push and aoe them down. It was fun stuff.

Defend them out in the field, not in here.

Your name is oddly fitting.

What started all this ruckus? A few bad encounters with BT?

Pinko.2076:

Altie.4571:

GG @ Maguuma players using line of sight hacks to attack people inside towers.

Real skill there!

What? What skill hit you? Where were you? What the hell is a line of sight hack?

Something like this.

They’ll discover the secret Omega Golem Portal bomb eventually, don’t worry.

GuardianOMS.8067:

Everyone please purchase a dyson vacuum for your mesmer sweeping needs.

Vacuum =/= Sweeper

I personally recommend a Swiffer

GuardianOMS.8067:

Wow, you’re just looking for anything to pick at. Well, here ya go:

Look at that sexy beast with the flaming sword.

katniss.6735:

Step your weight up, not your hate up.
Ya feel me?
:3

Why not both?

I understand it’s all he had going for him, since he ran when I was downed. but dang… That was 20k damage in the 2 seconds before he became visible, via what I assume to be use of quickness.

Always a possibility, but I do doubt it. Does he have any proof?

If someone is using it to hide in one of your keeps, the moment you walk within draw distance of them, you will get a “Blank Invader had gone to sleep”. This will continue to happen every single time you enter draw distance with them.

If anything, when hiding using an emote is the dumbest thing you can do. It also doesn’t change the elevation of your name plate.

We’re winning too hard.

John Widdin.9618:

yeah! Go FA! Rock dat Points per tick!

Awesome PPT… was that during FA’s main time? I recall a similar screenshot earlier in this thread where FA’s PPT is around 600+

It’s during DB’s prime.

Niim.9260:

I hope you are right, but the last time Maguuma was in T4 you were camping spawns for a week. I am not sure your population has dropped that much specially with the end of free transfers.

Good luck and have fun, regardless.

I really don’t know anything about CD or how Ebay is doing, but I do know we have nowhere near the numbers we had before we faced Kaineng. It’ll be interesting to see where we place, and god help Yaks bend if they haven’t improved in open field since the last time we faced them.

yeah! Go FA! Rock dat Points per tick!

eithinan.9841:

You sir are not fighting FA. Try portal bombing them and see what happens when you get 15 wells stacked on your assault before you even exit the portal.

:*(

Portal bombs really become redundant at this point. On Mag, we’ve been dropping static fields and ring of warding on portal exits. So in general these past 2 weeks, it hasn’t been a good idea for anyone to use portal bombs. It’s just asking to get demolished.

Each class has a lot to offer in organized play, but ranger really. All they have to offer a coordinated group is a long duration water field.

It’s the only class that hasn’t found its niche yet.

Jornophelanthas.1475:

@John Widdin:
Ah, now I understand. I retract my disagreement with Windwalker.

However, you were correct in the case of Conditions, as conditions bypass toughness/armor.

That pure damage does nothing without a little meat and potatoes to take hits, and target priority due to toughness. If everyone is a glass cannon, they’ll fold quickly once they run out of Endurance.

Dead dps is no dps.

Jornophelanthas.1475:

@Windwalker:
You are wrong. Extra Toughness provides a percentage decrease of the absolute damage figures that are dealt to you. It has no direct relation to the number of hitpoints you possess.

That’s why he called it “Ehp”. Effective health. It’s a combination of your base health, and whatever damage mitigation you possess.

10k health + 33% damage reduction = Effectively 33% more health, 13.3k health.
