They have stated that there will be more unique skins from sPvP in the future. If you are interested in obtaining them you might want to jump into PvP to start learning this game mode, it’s really very fun!

You’re probably right, Karizee. I just dread the idea of dealing with pretentious jerks who’re gonna flame me outta my chair for being bunny rank with NOOB this and NOOB that (though I assure you, I’m no slouch. I’m just not competitive. I’m a co-op guy). Typically I laugh and ignore them, but if they have the power to kick me, I can’t ignore the boot.

All in all though, Karizee, if it comes down to it, I’m more than willing to dive into PvP and scrap with these guys to get that armor set. I hope it’s as fun as you say so, friend.

…and I also hope it won’t be TOO tedious to grind.

My experience is it is the most friendly PvP that I’ve experienced in any MMO – the same friendly community spirit of GW2 carries over to PvP as well.

Probably the first thing you want to do is get familiar with the maps and you will start to understand the strategies as you go. Hot join is kind of a hot mess since there is no separation between MMR or rank for the maps, anyone can join anything. But solo queue is really good for matching you with and against similarly skilled/ranked players.

Hot join is good in that it doesn’t affect your standing on the leaderboards so if you don’t mind dying a lot a first while you learn the maps, jump on in. Otherwise you might take a bit of heat if you are just aimlessly running around rather than capping or working with your mates in solo queue.

You can always use the ascended materials to craft for profit and buy the t6. Good gold to be made from that.

Got it last year after they announced the changes were coming waaaaay back in December.

If you waited until now to be concerned about it, the chance of getting it at this point starting from ground zero from the current system is pretty small. I imagine they will add it to the Reward Tracks in PvP in the future.

Yup.

Trinkets are equipment too.

This is amazing – thank you, ArenaNet

For last logged in – Yay!

The WvW LFG is awesome but the LFG tool still needs to be more prominent on the UI, still so many players that don’t even know it’s there.

Keep it coming ArenaNet, you’re doing great

WTB a downvote button.

They don’t have trials very often (only 3x since the game launched iirc) but your friends can sign up for the official newsletter to be informed when one is coming if they are interested.

My server is extremely busy and I’ve only seen 1 person with the Wurm gear. It’s very difficult to get.

My spidey senses are all a-tingle. April Fools joke incoming

GW2 is just a casual grindy game with no proper endgame or challanges.

Pretty much. You forgot to mention the cash shop though, where you can buy skins that should’ve been obtainable in game, and cosplay in the LA chat room with your friends.

WoW is a hard-core grindy game with forceable endgame, no combat, no exploration and mounts etc. to purchase even-though it is pay to play.

Wow is less grindy then GW2 currently.

In Wow I gear a character in fully tiered current raid gear in less then half the time it would take me to craft one ascended set. Wow as it stands right now is the most casual friendly game on the market.

There is no way you can get top tier raid gear in WoW in less than 6 months. It often takes much longer than that and you can go whole tiers and never get your missing pieces.

In GW2 I can be in full rare quality gear in a day (comparable to LFR gear in WoW which can take months)
In GW2 I can be in full exotic gear in 3 days to a week (compared to months to never in WoW)
In GW2 I can be in full ascended gear in 2 months (compared to full heroic tier in your dreams in WoW)

My alts in GW2 are fully geared exotic instantly from all the tokens, badges, relics, karma, commendations, etc. from my main. In PvP I don’t even have to level and all gear is free.

Yes

With the all the improvements since launch and more to come on the 15th along with the massive amount of content they deliver so frequently, I have to say I am very impressed with this game.

We kill Tequatl every evening on SoR. If we got the chests every spawn, we would kill him all day

EotM (20g hr under good commander) and karka shell farming (10g hr) in Southsun are the latest hotness.

I think this is awesome that they are finally recognizing the PvP community with this level of reward.

I hope that the peeps that win can show off their Legendaries in the Heart of the Mists where they will have the status and prestige commensurate with the skill it took to earn them.

shadowpass.4236:

what tournament are you talking about?

Step away from the cash and no one gets hurt.

Meow.

+1 I’ve been wanting this soooooo much! TY

They’ve had 3 free trial weekends since the game launched. If you would like to be notified of an upcoming free trial you can register for their newsletter here:

https://register.guildwars2.com/trial/newsletter

We hit queues on our Borderlands tonight and next week we will be in T4. The worst is over for our WvW, rebuilding has begun on SoR.

In the meantime we still have one of the best PvE populations, still hitting overflows daily and still killing Tequatl every day.

There was no second update.

I had a 262 MB patch this morning, no hotfixes or anything after that. Something on your end. Check the tech support forum or try using the repair utility on your game.

Disregard any rumors about the feature build being months away.

Won’t be July, confirmed by ArenaNet to not be “months away”.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Opening-Chests-after-March-18th/page/2#post3757628

It’s also confirmed by Anet that there won’t be balance changes during a WvW season.

And it’s been confirmed by Anet that the patch won’t be in june…

So they lied about 1 of those 3 statements… July is a 1/3 chance that conformation 1 was the lie and not the other 2.

It was confirmed for last season that there would be no balance changes during the season but they have made no statements regarding balance changes during this year’s season.

Won’t be July, confirmed by ArenaNet to not be “months away”.

Take maybe 2 days running champs in Edge of the Mists.

Raisin face NOOOOOO

They are beautiful

Sanctum of Rall is extremely active on the PvE side, we often trigger overflows and take down Tequatl daily. Very friendly server, you can read about our history here:

Free transfers to a limited number of servers will begin tomorrow (Mar 18) so don’t transfer yet — you can save yourself a lot of gems.

What are the chances of being able to free transfer to a tier2 server?

Zero chance. Here’s the prices both starting tomorrow and after the Tournament begins:

Edge of the Mists is great for powerleveling.

Fenrir.3609:

“Hey look, there is an mmo with action combat and no “holy” trinity. Let’s buy it and then spend time complaining about the lack of “holy” trinity!".

The holy trinity is more restrictive, just as boring (more so imo) and trying to whack a version of it into this game would be a major, major step backwards.

Next thing they’ll be asking for that Loot Master kitten so one guy controls who gets loot in the group. Ugh.

I am Elementalist.

Since I embody all three aspects of the HTrinity within one being, it must hold true that I am a god. Since I am a god I demand your undying worship, tithes, gifts, tribute, reverence, adoration and devotion.

Keep in mind it took Riot a couple years to really get going with LoL.

It’s coming. Stay tuned, we are getting some big news soon

They would need to make some smaller maps for it, but it would be fun

Btw, you ever watch those 2v2 tournies that Blu hosts? They play it deathmatch style on the Legacy of the Foefire map and limit it to the center point only.

The metal branches are definitely blue (with veins of a rust color running through), but the end glows are more turquoise. It’s also affected by ambient lighting

I suggest previewing any item you are considering investing your time or resources in before creating it to make sure it is the look you want.

Quite a lot has changed and been added. You can find the release splash page here:
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/releases/

And the patch notes here:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/updates

Bogotter also put out a good video series for returning players, but this is only through 5 months ago.

daimasei.4091:

Don’t worry. Is coming soon in your favorite GemStore

No it’s not. In fact they will be adding more unique PvP skins.

OP, I got that armor after hitting Wolf rank. Btw, this is the last week you can earn it with glory and we have bonus glory and rank points over the weekend if you want to try for it.

Here is a searchable patch notes thru end of January, might help you to find what you are looking for.

IndigoSundown.5419:

Options are:

• Before WvW season 2 (which starts on the 28th).
• After WvW season 2.
• Abandon the idea of "No balance updates during WvW seasons.

We know it won’t be after WvW season 2 (that would put it at months) so it’s either before the season starts or abandon the idea of no balance patches during WvW seasons.

Imo, I don’t see why seasons should hold up a balance patch.

All we know is it will be very soon, that it is NOT months away.

Allie Murdock.8152:

The build is not in June. Just wanted to squash that before it became a thing! :P

Tyler Chapman.1832:

Can’t wait to see the map!

I would guess it is because they have little faith that we will get new zones, professions, etc. without one.

I don’t feel that way, I think the LS method of content delivery can give us those things.

This game is soon to be 2 years old.

Within this time, how many permanent, explorable zones like that of Queensdale for instance, did you get?

Faith? Be serious. It’s too late for that.

The only thing that will keep this game alive is a paid expansion. Nothing else.

If you think you’ve got a better solution? Please, do suggest it, but keep in mind one thing – be realistic about the game’s present quality of LS content.

We will be getting new zones with the next Season of Living Story, there’s no question about that. Does it need to be a paid expansion that would divide the playerbase depending on what DLC they purchased? Also, paid expacs have a tendency to rapidly age games. Free is good
