Guild Wars 2

Southern, it seems his lockout has been lifted but he hasn’t put enough time in the new world for the Historian to recognize his new association.

“Your world association will be based on your participation throughout the tournament. If you play on multiple worlds during the tournament, the world you represented the most will be the one with which you are associated. We are adding a new Battle Historian NPC to all the WvW maps who will tell you which world you are associated with.”

Not sure how they are calculating “the most”. Could be achievements earned, objectives captured, ranks earned, hours played – this has not been clarified yet.

If you talk to the scouts (the NPCs with the telescope icons) they will show you the hearts along with telling you some of the story of the zone.

Harathi is not megaservered according to the Rollout thread.

Only a WvW player goes bag hunting in EoTM

Only a WvW player wants liquid wxp in his bags rather than greens or blues in EotM.

I’ve recieved my daily for the last couple days. Today I was in Gendarran at reset and completed the daily there, no problems. Yesterday I was in WvW on a borderlands map and got it no problems. Didn’t pay attention to it before then, the only reason I noticed it yesterday was i got a Transmutation Charge from the daily.

I adore my Golem Pummeler and the Minstrel finisher is just to trolly for words – I cannot tell you how many times I’ve tried to search that chest when one of my mates drops it on a foe lol.

But this Llama is ridiculously amazing

Does this mean SAB incoming soon?

Participated in a Claw of Jormag event – with only 2 seconds to spare after the last burn phase and most of our force lying dead or downed on the mountain slope, a couple brave souls ran in suicide bomber style throwing everything they had at the dragon (I was one of them)…Sweet cries of Victory as we sent that dragon crashing off the mountain! It was amazing

Was not expecting that – thanks!

If you were wearing it before, just go talk to the Black Lion Armor Trader (next to the TP in any major city) and he will convert it for you. That easy

Well, I just tried to do the event to unlock my new “Read the wind” ability because i REFUSE to pay more gold.

And was immediately throw into overflow sigh where is the megaserver?! And there is nobody there, no event.

So it’s now either wait days for some dumb event or waste 20 skill points and 3g on an ability that I SHOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN BY DEFAULT!!!

I’m forced to participate in some stupid Arrah and kill a high wizard that doesn’t exist and that I cannot kill on my own.

I was surprised by this. I have been lvl 80 for a year. I had all my traits from books yet i have to spend more gold and skill pts again for traits with this update.. I like the update but this is really stupid. And i refuse to do this.

You can actually go out and find the traits for free. Paying gold is a shortcut for instant traits, going out into the world and unlocking them doesn’t cost anything.

They always give notice when there will be a maintenance. This will be like any other normal patch: log out, download, login

(why can’t other games figure this out?)

Happy Patch Day \o/

They did tell us that PvP skins would be able to be used in PvE over 4 months ago, we’ve had plenty of notice to get the skin if we wanted it.

(I got it /cheesy grin)

Fastest way right now is probably Edge of the Mists. You can get almost 30 levels in one match. Boosters, xp buff food, guild xp banners, find a good commander and stick to him like glue

You’ll find many answers in the wiki, all typed up and ready for you to read

Chaba.5410:

I agree. I want to add another way how the lack of a GvG mode hurts WvW. After Season 1 and leading up to Season 2 there was a lot of guild movement to other servers DUE TO GVG. These guilds cannot easily get access to other guilds to GvG, especially when seasons lock servers into leagues. These population changes affect WvW because a lot of these GvG guilds also play WvW. If there were a GvG mode, the likelihood of GvG guilds transferring servers and affecting the WvW population would be reduced.

EotM actually opened that up quite a bit, now guilds can play against guilds from 16 (NA) or 18 (EU) servers rather than just the 2 we had before EotM.

The first match was seeded by the server’s rank, then points were awarded for each match as follows:
1st place – 5 points
2nd place – 3 points
3rd place – 1 point

All subsequent matches are by total points accumulated. So the 3 highest point servers are matched together, the second three are matched together, etc. In case of a point tie, the server’s rank is used as the tiebreaker.

For WvW they added a new map called Edge of the Mists. It’s a gorgeous, multilevel playground with some crazy new mechanics like blowing up bridges and turning into mecha-scorpions or beams of light.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spTMWOJlgj4

Teams are grouped across servers by your color that week. The score there does not affect the world score, but the winning team drops supplies in your borderlands Citadel after each 4 hour match. It also spawns overflow maps.

For WvW proper they changed the borderlands maps to remove most of the water areas and added Ruins with a Bloodlust mechanic, similar to the old orbs. It’s had a huge affect on scoring, top teams are now getting up to 35% of their score from points other than the tick every 15 minutes. They also added a proper queue system to WvW which shows how many players are in front of you and your position in queue.

Still see lots of large scale battles on the highest populated servers, more roaming and smaller scale battles on the lower tiers. Most servers still have queues on reset with things thinning out as the week goes on.

EotM is where disorganized PvE players go and play so they don’t affect their home server too negatively.

Oh yeah, you see a little bit of everything in there. From roaming to karma trains to guilds conducting training session – it’s the wild wild west of WvW. I’m surprised at the amount of guild/server recruiting that happens there.

Also be aware that since we are currently in a WvW tournament that if you transfer now you will be locked out of WvW for 1-2 weeks.

Becka Williams.4978:

Or just wait till Tuesday, when all servers are merged into one. Done and done.

Servers are not being merged. You will still have a home world.

You did. It tells you that when you create your first character. Your home world is who you represent when you play World vs World and determines your Power of the Mists bonuses.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/World

You can guest on other servers however – up to 2 servers per day. This is for PvE open world only. For WvW you would need to transfer. Be aware that since the tournament is currently active if you transfer now you will be locked out of WvW for up to 2 weeks.

They actually had to raise server caps this week due to the sale. I’m seeing more players than ever

I love the tribal sounds and the recording feature is amazing – thank-you!

Iirc, ArenaNet didn’t put up the standings for last season until a few weeks in. In fact they may have not put it up until the season concluded.

How would you even define WvW population?

They have a very small chance to drop the rare weapons in PvP.

I got the PvP Gargoyle Scythe from one of them which is a pretty rare weapon in PvP but has a fairly common counterpart (Final Rest) in PvE.

Dungeons, World Meta events -find them here http://us.gw2stuff.com/ , WvW, Edge of the Mists (hit the castle icon upper right on your screen) – the main portal hub right now is the Vigil Keep in Gendarran Fields since our main portal city Lion’s Arch got blowed up in the last chapter of Living Story.

For starting areas Queensdale has the most players usually unless a LS event is pulling players elsewhere.

Unknown on your guild roster would indicate they have not logged in since the last patch (the last one was on April 1st), not appearing on the AP leaderboard may or may not indicate anything (there was some recent bugginess with the AP leaderboard and guilds).

The game does have a T rating, you may want to re-consider letting a 5yo watch it.

:o

Never seen it before.

It’s by total points, not by rank. The points are pooled and all characters have access to the entire pool to spend as they wish.

For instance, say your main has 70,000 points and your alt has 10,000 points. On the 15th they will each have 80,000 points.

Your best bet is to submit an email to exploits@arena.net with a pic and relevant information, server, map, time, etc. The ingame reporting system doesn’t give enough information to indicate what exactly the player is doing.

Would this be Mordremoth’s lieutenant incoming?

:D

I was chatting with a dev ingame about a month ago and he said he knew it was being worked on but did not know how far along it was in the pipeline (wasn’t his area of expertise).

Got a screenshot somewhere…..buried in a million other screenshots lol.

From the blog post
“Single items, such as the Fuzzy Hats and Scarlet’s Spaulders, will be unlocked for your entire account and usable with any armor weight.”
I’m pretty sure it’s the same case for Fused Gauntlets.

OMG if that is true I will be so happy. My engi needs them more than my ele does.

I’ve seen so many great bobblehead videos, here’s another one of my favorites.

I miss the Bobbleheads already, wtb Bobblehead tonic!

Greetings fellow elemenatist! I use an invisible bag for my first bag slot, organized with alternate weapons, armor sets and my buff foods/oils/stones. I keep the size of the inventory set to the smallest possible so I’m always ready to doubleclick in a different weapon out of combat.

Imagining how full all non-portal hub cities will be

Change maps to trigger the bobble head effect

I can’t stop laughing!! TY ArenaNet

You are both correct.

The Wardrobe gives you the look:

And the Account Bound gives you the shared ascended and legendaries:

Been happening for about 2 hours here, cannot stay connected for more than 2 minutes.
Never had a problem before.

Yes (the skins)

Rank is account wide, more character slots would not give you more ranks or more charges.

I play a good bit of both PvE and PvP, I will get 34+ charges from my useless transmutation stones and 32+ charges from my PvP ranks. Love these changes

This is a great post for new to PvP players that has all the info you need:

Good luck!

(ps. If you jump in now any ranks you earn before the 15th will get you a free transmutation charge)
