FA for exemple, at the moment of this post, have 51% of their score from non-tick.
I’m not convinced that’s accurate. I’ve noticed that site has been presenting negative numbers for score not from tick for a couple months now.
If things haven’t changed for a long time, then the points not from tick also includes Yaks/Sentry’s as well. Not just PPK points.
I understand. That’s why I think the calculation is broken on that site.
For instance if you look at last week’s NA match, SoR shows that -14.09% of their score was gained not from tick.

I like both the PPK and no white swords changes. Hope they make them permanent.
What I’m finding interesting is that T2 is scoring more points than T1 in NA – either T2 is busier than T1 or they die a lot more haha.
Would anyone actually prefer dealing with junk items to simply receiving the copper directly?
I’ve been getting random items towards my collection achievements which is nice but also some cool lore type items like a Seaweed Quaggan Doll or the Super Sweet Ring. Just the text on these items is cool, the Seaweed Quaggan Doll says, “Ugh. It smells funny out of water.”
From what I understand everything in the game is on the loot table for the Star and Mawdrey gifts. Over 65k items on the TP alone….one day they will give me a precursor, I just know it!
Title says it all, if your outnumbered in your BL you should get white swords in my opinion, since your already lacking man power to counter the amount of people ( unless they’re really really really bad), since scouting will become harder due to lack of people and the chance theres siege anywhere in any tower is minimal.
Brilliant suggestion! Thumbs up from me.

Gaile, something related to mail that can be a bit misleading – not sure if you folks want to look into this…
But if someone gifts a person an item through the gem store, the gifter’s name appears with the ArenaNet logo. I think the mail system is seeing the sender as the gemstore (ArenaNet), while personalizing the gift with the giver’s name.
Just something that caught me off guard once.
Thank you and hope you’re having a great holiday
Who’s Ten Ton Hammer again? Literally never heard of them.
Umm, they’ve been around for a long time and do these Best Of MMO reviews every year.
That’s cool.
I still have never heard of them before. And considering the number of video game forums I frequent, that’s a significant achievement.
I used their leveling guides eons ago back in the early days of WoW when you needed to grind mobs in specific areas to level. This was also in the days of Thottbot, may be before your time

Best Established MMO – Guild Wars 2
The winner of our game of the year award two years in a row, Guild Wars 2 remains one of the best MMOs on the market in 2014. Living World Season 2 is a shining example of how to inject meaningful, story-driven gameplay updates into an established MMO, and is just one of the many reasons why the Ten Ton Hammer editors selected Guild Wars 2 as our Best Established MMO of 2014.
Because Tumblr?
(Rubi often selects community creations to showcase on the POI livestream from Tumblr)
Same problem here, also seeing reports of players not able to purchase gems.
I’m also throwing all my greens into the Mystic Forge for rares, I’m sure I’m not the only one doing this. The loot bags make it very easy stack things up for forge visits without causing inventory problems.
The WvW maps will be the hardest maps you will ever complete in this game. A bit of strategy and understanding how the maps work will go a long way into helping you complete these.
The biggest factor in completion is not how strong your server is or how outnumbered a match is or anything to that effect – the biggest factor is what color your server is that week.
It should be fairly easy to complete your server’s “third” of EBG and your Borderlands. Depending on how strong your server is playing that week, you may get most of the lower parts of the other server’s Borderland maps with possibly some good pushes into their 1/3 of EBG, especially around the edges of your third.
The hardest objectives to get will be the enemy’s keeps and garrisons. As a general rule, depending on how well your server is playing that week, you may see a coordinated push into enemy keeps at reset or later in the week when you’ve built up enough supply to push. But it’s far, far easier to just claim those objectives when your server rotates to that color.
So start your WvW mapping early in your completion journey, make sure to get as many of the more difficult objectives on as many characters as possible when your server changes colors.
Increased supply no doubt. Silverwastes is really good.

Used mostly for legendary and ascended crafting, I guess you could estimate the value based on what other currencies are used to buy them.
- 2100 karma
- 3 laurels
- 15 fractal relics
What’s the rewards for Wintersday Daily? I hovered my cursor over the chest where it usually tells you, but no info…
Are the rewards worth doing it?
Definitely worth it, you get a free laurel plus some other items.
Little Bit of Monica
And with sound!
I would love to see a lot more of this but maybe more frequently so people could see it.
Be careful what you wish for!
(I have a funny feeling we will be seeing more of these vines…./gulp)
Was your first thought “How can I put this into my mouth?”
Cool gift!
Not to worry, you get them from the login daily now.
http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/2phiqy/login_rewards_details/
You’ll end up with more laurels under the new system if you pick laurels for the chest on the 28th day.
If you want to see what the rewards are by day, check out this post from reddit:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/2phiqy/login_rewards_details/
It’s possible we can’t pull it up outside of receiving the daily chest until this month is completed since we can do both the new daily login and the old monthly rewards this month.
But the link I posted has all the rewards by day if you didn’t have a chance to look at it when you got the popup.

No player counts, but you can use this to kinda sorta get an idea.
http://gw2.brutebyte.com/world?world_id=1017
This tool uses the API to track guilds that have claimed an objective in WvW. Note that this does not mean captured, but rather a guild that has leveled it’s influence in Art of War enough to claim a captured objective in WvW and then had an opportunity/reason to actually claim an objective.
There are many multiples of that number of guilds that never claim objectives in WvW, even more that never even enter WvW.

Absolutely – it’s one of the best MMOs on the market for a reason
Somehow I completely missed the opportunity to get a Fused Molten Sickle when it was available!
If you fine folks would be so kind as to list it on the gem store again I would be most appreciative as it would be another way to further customize my elementalist
The Quality Assurance team is aware of the issue and they are working on a fix.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/LFG-bug-3/page/2#post4616993
I would think WoW’s recent fiasco with their WoD launch would prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that test servers don’t do squat.
Broken, buggy, unbalanced, unstable servers, chock full of poor design decisions – they even started issuing refunds it was so bad. They are still pushing out hotfixes or taking down the servers on an almost daily basis almost a month after launching.
It was on public test servers for 5 months.
Is it definitely meant to be 25 gems and isn’t a typo on Anet’s part? It would make sense if it was 125 gems or 250. 25 gems is the cheapest thing I’ve seen in the gem store (except the freebies they sometimes “sell”)
Well, I can’t complain. I bought the skin simply because how cheap it is. I like collecting a nice variety of armour pieces and the cheaper the better
Not a mistake, this is the same price they first sold them for back in 2012
This is the best place to post character art issues:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Issues-with-character-art-weapons-or-armor-2
They are working through the list slowly but surely, I’ve posted there 2x now and both of my issues were addressed.
If WoW can get by for 2 years with nothing but a couple raids, I’m sure GW2 will survive 1 month with Wintersday, WvW Sneak Attack, the new PvP leaderboard race, and all the contents from the last patch (new areas, new events, new story, new achievements, 4 new armor pieces to get, the new jumping puzzle, etc.)

You might want to focus on the actual issue which is you getting disconnected. Check the Tech Support forums or submit a ticket to see if you can get that problem resolved before asking for other players to be locked out due to your connection issues.
Any clipping or art issues should go in this thread so they can address it.

PvP Tribal or PvP Legionnaire. Not sure if this was acquirable before they added the wardrobe or not, but the preview codes are there.
There’s a rather large thread on the General forum:

I think the Whisper’s staff would look very good with your armor set.

I’m sure.
And you’re welcome
1) No mods are allowed in GW2.
2) Tons of stuff – dungeons, fractals, guild missions, world bosses, living story, WvW and Pvp. It sounds like you might be especially interested in these:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Wvw
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Living_story
3) Exploration is one of the best features of GW2 – look behind waterfalls to find hidden jumping puzzles, fall through a crack in the ice to discover a new zone, complete events to unlock portals into hidden areas, ect. It’s a gorgeous world.
4) Here are the weapons by class:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Weapon#Weapon_usability_by_professions
5) Not sure what you mean by a spellsword, but you might find the Mesmer class interesting.
6) At launch there was over 60 feature films worth of voice acting, they add more with every patch.
7) The gem store sells only vanity or convenience items.
8) You can do them all except for the first Season which was designed a bit differently.
9) There are no quests in GW2, instead you’ll find dynamic events.
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Dynamic_event
10) No way to say, would really depend on how you approach it.
Welcome to the party
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/tyrias-point-of-no-return/
On December 16, we’ll release our usual holiday-themed festivities with Wintersday. Both of these releases will feature the same content as last year but with refreshed rewards, giving you fun new festival-themed items to earn.
Not a dumb question at all
Once you’ve unlocked an item by equipping, destroying or mystic forging it, it will be in your account wardrobe where it can be applied to any character (subject to racial and armor weight limitations). You can see what is in your wardrobe by going to your bank and selecting the 3rd tab. It requires one transmutation charge per item to apply.
For something like the back item, you’ll need a back pack strap of some sort to apply it to if you do not already have a back item on that character.
Hope that helps!
It’s more like Wow’s 10 year old moldy bread vs. GW2’s fresh loaf
PS. WoW sucks!
So your concern is that the Call of the Mists buff this weekend may be drawing some WvW players into sPvP and your answer to this concern is you want WvW removed?
What?
One second is a lifetime in games like these. They’d have to re-balance the entire class, traits and abilities.
You would effectively be adding a cast time to the elemental abilities and who would want that? xD
