If you play WvW to duel

sounds like op walked into a duel and got his face smashed by someone he thought he was ganking

One time a guy told me I was why I server sucked at WvW after I let him die in a similar situation.

Who cares if people want to duel, they have no obligation to help you in any particular fight.

Hidden Areas and Things

Have you found the hidden unfinished and unnamed 5th jumping puzzle in Caledon Forrest? (Hint: it may require the use of 1 of 2 items purchased from an npc somewhere else in the game in order to get into depending on your class.)

I’m pretty partial to that place, spent a fair amount of time figuring out a way to get into the actual jp part easily. It’s probably my favorite spot in the game, largely because the odds of seeing another player in there are slim to none.

Back when people were using the executioner’s axe for the move skills in WvW they just blanket disabled a bunch of the toys. Presumably the carpet falls under the same category of the stuff they turned off.

Sent an exploit email to arenanet since I know how to get in the and I’m pretty sure it’s not intended. I wouldn’t have though you could hit anything with a treb from in there though.

TIER 8 SERVERS COMING TO AN END FC, ET ,AR
I heard a rumor that the tier 8 servers are going to be disbanded or the 3 servers with the lowest population. And that all players from (Fergusons Crossing, Eternal Battlegrounds and one other server) will get a free server transfer to upper tier server and these servers will cease to exist. It is supposed to happen at some time after the Fall tournament. Thank the gods. I joined Fergusons Crossing because I had a friend in it. Little did I know the implications of picking a server. You would think developers would have noticed and solved these issues of being grossly outnumbered in every battle. It makes the game no fun at all and if anything irritating. Now that Im in it, half the guilds I joined are planning on transferring out within the coming weeks. But I don’t have the money for this. I hope if this does happen that guilds will transfer together so we can still play with each other.

Eternal Battlegrounds is getting disbanded? You seem like a credible source of information…

How You Would Ruin Things

Kaos.9162

First, get rid of the megaservers so this would work. Then, get rid of legendary defenders in WvW, and make the portals to LA from WvW work for opposing servers, with pvp enabled. Basically make WvW what the mist war recruiters make it sound like.

Has Anet acknowledged problems with GW2?

Has anet admitted anything is wrong with their game… hmmm..

nope never

Seriously? I’m honestly looking for a link where I can see them admit that, yes there is a problem and yes, they are going to fix it. The fact that I can’t find anything is what has got me worried.

Here’s one for you: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/WvW-Titles-3/first#post2437293

They still haven’t changed, and looking at the date on that post I’m beginning to doubt they ever will.

Aww, don’t complain, they know about it and I’m sure they’re working very hard to get it more in line with the rest of the game. Things like this are harder than they seem, I imagine in two or three years they’ll be fixed.

Winning?

in WvW

Posted by: Kaos.9162

Kaos.9162

Officially, the victor in WvW is whoever has the highest score by the end of the week.

Personally? As long as you’re having fun in WvW, you’re “winning”.

+1.
I don’t care how people want to define winning. You come first place, you win.

Can you really win something if there’s no competition though? Most of the time it’s not even close.

Ascended chests in WvW

Posted by: Kaos.9162

Kaos.9162

I have a magi weapon box and an apothecary armor box that I’ll probably never use, even when I get ascended stuff it’s useless to me. I’ll probably get one of the really cheap precursors, and then never get another one. Rank 686, so I guess I’m getting more boxes than some people, at least.

Can anyone explain this?

Posted by: Kaos.9162

Kaos.9162

I’ve seen something like this happen couple of times in past few weeks, although not to so many people, usually only to me or 1-2 other people. Seems like when enemy you hit goes down or full death, the game updates your position or whatever and teleports you up/down somewhere near the enemy. Usually it happens when I stomp someone on wall and end up being “pushed” off it down on the ground.

Loot bags will displace you sometimes when they spawn under you, sounds like what’s happening to you.

If they call you bad for losing 3v1 it just means that to them 3v1 is even odds, people that gank like that and talk usually run from 1v1 in my experience.

Rezing through gate/watergate

Posted by: Kaos.9162

Kaos.9162

I would argue that it probably is an exploit. It seems highly unlikely that Anet intended for it to work, and the only reason that it’s still in game is that they’re unable/unwilling to fix it. Abusing something unintended like this that can give such a huge advantage qualifies as an exploit in my book.

I’ve been meaning to get around to killing those other 995,000 yaks that I need…give me like 200 more years and I’ll have that title.

Edit: also:

Fixes for these are being worked on. As well as changes to the WvW achievements to make them more in line with all the other achievements in the game. And to reward a suitable amount of achievement points. However, making changes to achievements that are already live is far more complicated than it would seem and we have focused on other areas so far. This is on our list to fix by the end of the year, however.

This has probably been mentioned already, but since I saw no response for it repetition can’t hurt.

Ages ago, in one of the older Ready Up streams, after the last WvW tournament, a CDI regarding WvW seasons/tournaments was mentioned to be “coming within a week” I don’t think I would have missed it if it did. So whatever happened to that?

Hi Crise,

i will double check. That seems like eons ago so please forgive me for my weak memory (-:

PvE Unfriendly fire

There are griefers, sure. But people trying to succeed at an event, whether people want to fail the event to farm it or not, are not griefers. In my experience event farmers are some of the most abusive people in the game. One time a guy called my a bot for trying to finish the Lyssa event that he was farming, told everyone to report me. I mean, I guess it was my fault for being a ranger and having the gall to stand still for a few seconds, but I think he missed the massive irony in that situation…

Interestingly enough not many people did seem to miss SAB until the interview yesterday, and yet now it seems like it is the most missed thing ever released in the game.

I’ve missed the hell out of it, I just rarely post things on the forums. As we all know, the forum users are just a small minority, right? Can’t claim that people posting things on the forums are just a minority, then claim the the lack of things on the forums also means a minority…

Revitalize WvW include in 9/14 feature pack

Posted by: Kaos.9162

Kaos.9162

I can’t track down where this was said, I believe the Make Your Own Trap thread that was going on around here quite some time ago, but essentially Anet said that they would never allow invisible traps that cause direct damage to players without giving them a chance to react. Essentially, it would need a telegraph to even be considered. Secondly, the definition of a zerg varies across almost anyone that you ask and for many, 20-30 is not a massive group. Not to be rude, but I feel that an arbitrary trap such as this would simply be abused, as you mentioned, it can be place in a choke and then all you would need is a small group of people to finish off the entire zerg since they just took 10k damage. I enjoy outnumbered fights, but when it gets to the point where we’re just getting free damage, that takes the fun out of things.

HUH? Siege Disabler that disables enemy siege

in WvW

Posted by: Kaos.9162

Kaos.9162

Hey guys, I wanted to pop in and make a few points about the siege disabler.

  • This is a thrown projectile, and as such, can be countered by abilities that block or reflect projectiles (Shield of Absorption, Swirling Winds, etc)
  • It has a ~5silver, 10 supply and 15 badge cost. This cost coupled with the above point, will likely limit the amount that these items are used to important tactical plays.
  • Siege is not permanently disabled, the disabler is just meant to open up a window of opportunity. Players may choose to spread their siege out more to be less vulnerable to this tactic.
  • As you are probably aware, we are adding Golem Mastery in the same update. This provides a new, viable option for countering a golem rush.
  • The traps we’ve added in the past, have seen low use. So we intentionally created this trick to be a bit on the stronger side. However, it’s still hard to say exactly how it will play out in the live game, but if it ends up hurting gameplay more than helping it we are open to adjusting it in the future.

Is there some sort of internal cooldown on siege before they can be disabled again, or can you just chain disable them forever if you have a steady stream of supply and people with grenades? Is there going to be some sort of indicator that someone is throwing one of these so you can react to it and try to block/reflect it? Because as it stands it seems like it’ll be extremely hard to predict when or where exactly one of these is going to be thrown.

Well played anet, you managed to make a decision that may be more kittened than charging 300g for colored commander tags.

I really hope there’s some sort of immunity for siege after one of these wears off, otherwise I might have to camp eotm with a bunch of these and ruin some ktrains.

If it works like the current traps, I imagine it’ll be more beneficial to defenders than to attackers. Even with 1200 range you’d have to trigger it somehow, I doubt it’s just something they can click on and activate on demand.

They’d probably get rid of the stomps for points mechanic if they did this, which makes me think they’ll never take away down state in WvW. That said, I do feel like down state hurts the game in small scale stuff.

General Doubts about WvW Tournament System

in WvW

Posted by: Kaos.9162

Kaos.9162

The tournament is over, yes. What league you were in (Gold Silver Bronze) didn’t affect what the rewards you got, just the position you finished within your league.

Presumably the seasons are based around the US, since it’s where anet is located.

No new tournaments announced yet, though odds are there will be another one at some point.

The meta achievement was “Complete 10 WvW Spring Tournament 2014 achievements.”, so you had to complete 10 out of the 19 achievements listed at that link.

-10,000,000. No to open world dueling UNLESS it has an opt-out feature that is enabled by default.

That’s not far enough. Open world duelers must also travel to a remote, isolated location so I never have to see them or read their map chat-bragging or trash talking. Furthermore, there has to be a sub-forum here for people to complain about how overpowered the class that just beat them is or how underpowered their own class is, with any complaints of class balance stemming from duels not posted in said sub-forum resulting in an infraction.

Well, as people frequently say on these forums they can’t give us an ETA because they’ll inevitably be off by a wide margin and people on the forums get kittened.

Devon posted more than a year ago that they’re aware of it and are working on it, so either he lied, they’re really slow, or whoever was working on it is no longer working on it. That or it’s such a complicated process that it’s taken them more than a year to do it.
