Will Guild Missions need a levelled Guild

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

I play in a guild with 5 friends. considering how relatively easy gold is to make with CoF runs, I’m not terribly worried.

The only thing we really need to worry about is the upgrade time for each level of Art of war. It’ll be a month before I can host one myself.

Exploration is such an important part of this game, I want Vanquishing to come back.
A chance to revisit each zone, but them being completely enemy controlled.

I want a skill like kill shot on my ranger long bow instead of Barrage, be able to oneshot a thief/elementalist/ranger or hit for more than 50% hp in one hit with a ranged skill is really nice, a warrior skill ofc……..

Make it loud as kitten, and have a huge distance. Force everyone in the area to just dodge on the off chance it’s fired at them.

Or just make it put a skull over their head, and do a huge amount of damage based on range fired at.

If you PvE only roll a War, if you PvP roll a thief otherwise it’s an uphill battle against ill conceived class mechanics.

and if you WvW, roll literally anything but ranger.

Everything has a roll, but the ranger. Really, other than their long duration healing water field, they don’t bring much to the table to brag about.

Wow, what a kittening dick. Just comes in here and straight up says everyone else is an kitten hole.

Too close to get my hopes up yet. I sure hope it works out, but will have to wait for reset to see for sure.

We won’t hit our prime time long before reset, so It’ll be hard for Yak’s bend to screw this up.

I’m sorry Aspenwood, you’re fun and all. But we need some variety in this relationship. Maguuma isn’t a terribly classy lady.

Help with countering mesmers

John Widdin.9618

Mesmer clones don’t have offhands, Boons, Titles. You can now instantly spot a mesmer clone from a real one.

When you see a sword mesmer point at you, dodge. You’ve just dodged their leaping strike and they can’t immobilize you. Stay moving, try to maintain swiftness to outrun shattering clones. If the Mesmer blinks ontop of you, dodge.

Ps. He’s right. A single projectile cannot be reflected more than once. Simple test with Staff Guardians with Wall of reflection.

John Widdin.9618

but as to the point of … PvE … End game is all about Dungeons? Eh I Guess to some but there are alot of Events (Shadow Behemoth is popular for example in Queensdale or Maw in other areas)
So to me evey single WvW Person who claims that all there is to PvE is A Certain Dungeon to me … dosnt get PvE What So ever
At least PvE Wont rage at you if you dislike a Event or a certain aspect of PvE While WvW Players will rage at you for getting angry for being kitten on your way to the group, and then rage at you for not getting to the commander/group …
good jorb <3

No, they’ll rage at you and kick you from the group for not being a Mesmer, Warrior, or Guardian. These events are also scripted and exactly the same every single time.

Again, the hostilities isn’t WvW, It’s the people you’re playing with. I think the only time I’ve ever been yelled at was for taking supply from a keep that had just started upgrades, but I was new and someone eventually explained it to me.

If you just quit every time someone yells at you, you really won’t get too far.

^
This Right away all you state is Thin skin and come off as Hostile.
Dankys dude <3 Maybe you should relise that eveyone is new at times and insteed of insulting them you could I dunno teach em the game?

It’s an observation, not an insult. Again, if you quit the moment someone says absolutely anything negative to you, you’re not going to get a chance to learn, or have anyone teach you.

I don’t think I’ve ever yelled at anyone in WvW before.

Because the server I play on has a public mumble, and militia groups that give guild groups a run for their money. Plus it’s fun.

To the fellow above me. WvW isn’t anti social. Your server community is. Your English coupled with what looks like Thin skin doesn’t help either.

There’s bound to be a guild or something willing to take you in, and teach you. You’ll appreciate it a lot more if you know what you’re doing.

Why hasnt confusion been adjusted in wuvwuv?

in WvW

Posted by: John Widdin.9618

John Widdin.9618

What is a problem:
- Time Warp effects siege in WvW.
- Portal even post nerf is still required on the field to be even remotely effective compared to a team without a Mesmer running it.
- Veil can stealth an ENTIRE SERVER with absolutely no internal cooldown or “revealed” debuff like with other forms of stealth.

If the enemy team tries to portal bomb you. You drop ring of warding’s, and Static fields on the portal exit, then proceed to destroy anyone inside. My server has been doing this for a while now.

Veil cannot be stacked, and lasts 4 seconds. In that time, you cannot have it re-applied to you. At the same time, It does not stack with any other forms of stealth, and will also break the moment you deal damage in the same way with any other form of stealth. Dealing said damage will also render you Revealed for a short time. On top of this, Veil has a 90 second cooldown.

As far as time warp goes, this is somewhat of an issue for most siege, but negatively effects others. Example, Trebs lose range etc. At the end of the day, god forbid a mesmer sacrifice their own personal ability to do anything for the greater good of their team in a meaningful way.

I never post on here but that just goes to show how little you know of [BT]. I get it though. Sometimes there are mindless people who don’t know better. This occurs often? Maybe there’s a conspiracy inside Maguuma to get destroyed and move back to T4. (Sound familiar?)

I’m not saying that’s the case at all, but instead of turtling up in your Keeps and Towers, don’t let that happen! Make a move and tryyy to make a seige more interesting.

FA does not have dedicated WvW guilds that use gears, golem in a box, or consumables of that nature cause that in no way will make your group more effective. I think I can speak for most of the guilds on FA when it comes to this, but if we won’t try to get an upperhand using cheap consumables, in no way would we need/want to get an upperhand by sabotage.

Maybe Maguuma needs to decide if you want to be in T4 or compete. “Almost back to T4! Hopefully Yak’s holds on” but “wahhhh they’re beating us”. Make up your mind.

Why would we run into this? It was a perfect opportunity to see 7 Trebs get built for the easiest Keep to take in the game. Numbers aside of course.

Unfortunately, the performance was thrown off by all of the Trebs firing out of Sync. You guys need to get your operators more disciplined, like BT.

That’s all fine and dandy, but nothing can be done about it. They spent the money to transfer, that’s their issue. Even if they couldn’t be in the same guild as them on another server, they can still use voice communication software.

That’s a terrible spot to march a golem rush from. To the East of your position there, there’s a cliff face where you can store your golems, and build there as well. To build them you jump down a level out of the spawn, and throw the Blueprint up.

From there, the golems are out of Draw distance from the Water level below. Perfect hiding spot.

From there, you can organize Mesmer groups to portal your Golems around the map.

Mesmer Teleport Cheat :(

in WvW

Posted by: John Widdin.9618

John Widdin.9618

I’ve never been able to blink through a gate on my Mesmer – then again, I haven’t ever tried. Heck, not with blink sometimes failing to work for me in open plains, but would be willing to bet (unless this is a terrain issue) that it’s a sneaky ninja mesmer hiding, waiting, and portal dropping in cooperation with other mesmers to bypass the 20 person limit.

You cannot blink across or through any physical gap your character would not be able to walk through. There are a few exceptions with terrain, but none involving towers, or any other base in Wub.

Mesmers can be killed on the other side of a gate, and rezzed from the other side. Fairly certain this is a bannable offence.

Mesmers can hide inside your structure in any number of places. Places like West Keep are absolutely riddled with hiding spots, and Stonemist is just plain huge.

However, there are known hackers or scripts or whatever for people flying, teleporting, etc. We see it all the time. Chilling in my Garrison with the Mesmer boys, BAM Invader teleports in front of us at the Vista, and zooms away.

In most cases though, the Mesmer was likely hiding, and ran a portal from inside. There is no normal means a mesmer can portal into a structure without being inside first.
