Why would anyone WANT to swap servers to BG?

in WvW

Keiel.7489

I know server population on the server selection screen is not the best measure of WvW activity. But I think it’s a pretty safe to assume its a decent way to gauge size. At some point BG should take a look, just click on the “guest” option and you will notice that BG is the only that has reached “Full” status. I haven’t seen this since game release for any server.

But sure you guys are the underdogs of T1.

you realize that Wiki pages can be edited by just about anybody. Wiki’s do not count as official sources of information on this game.

While wiki is not an official source. Did you know that most people who claim that it could be edited by anyone, has never actually tried to edit a page?

At 80 you need +966 between traits, gear and consumables to get 50%

so 916(base) + 966 = 1886 prec. Use sites like GW2skill to make your build.

How do you feel about GW2 right now?

I think the forums have gotten them self into a situation where they can be called out for asking for something and then getting it and then complain about the very thing they asked for.

It’s cause the majority of players are content and doesn’t visit the forums until something upsets them. Even in discussions that are heated only a small minority group takes part in it. Once the people who complained and got their way, a way that upsets another group of people then they leave the forums and let the new group of people come here to complain. Thats why after each patch you see new threads pop up and 90% of the posters act like the issue has never been talked in the past with comments like “Why would you change this? no one asked for it”.

As for the current state of the game being a grindfest, if that’s what you think then I doubt you ever played another MMO in your life. As long as there is competition there will always be a grind, because there are always people willing to put in the extra time to get ahead. If the game just gives you stuff for logging in and there is no possibilty of having gain anything after that then you won’t see anymore grinding.

Are you guys real?
Do yoou guys pure base your theories on one skill alone? Do you guys swap weapon or know that you can assign skills for 6-10? Did you know utilizing your weapon swaps and utilities you have more than 1 stun/knock downs and then you also have access to immobilise which they can’t stun break out of? Did you know that WW aside from a useless skill that you don’t do acts as an evade, gap closer/opener AND does decent amount of damage at the same time? I won’t even go into the other great sword skills yet, try to master usage of 2 buttons first and then move on.

Yeah this is ridiculous, if maybe they allowed people to buy/sell the skin on the TP instead of soley rely on getting from the vendor via claim tickets. Or at least have some way to farm these keys at a decent rate with a really low level. It’s even worse when you open the chest and get nothing else, its ether you get a tick or nothing, maybe add in a small chance of getting some other BLTC items?

Such audacity! How dare they try to make more money off of their players! They should be giving us free updates and let the people who buy gems get nothing in return! I paid my 50 bux, I should get everything forever!

They should be working on proper expansion packs and then retail those like they did back with Guild Wars. Not everybody is interested in the whole shelling out dosh for gaudy trinkets to separate oneself from the unwashed masses selling point they’ve got going on right now. Some of us are still holding out for fun content. A VIP status don’t really mean all that much in a dead game now does it?

Thankfully they quickly cleared matters up here and this is fairly understandable for the Asian market. Maybe 2014 won’t be so bad after all. We’ll see.

One of the things that was assumed of Anet is that they would not be making expansion packs. Perhaps they will perhaps they won’t. I don’t see a point in it, even if they did they could easily sell it on the gem shop as unlock features. I’m not sure why people are so kitten about it needs to be labeled an “expansion”.
As for seperating people from the unwashed mass, that might be how you look at it, but not everyone. If you looked at any of the VIP feature instead of fixating on the VIP, you might be able to see that people might want the quality of life changes instead.

I would like my 250 ectos back please

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Keiel.7489

Keiel.7489

1st version cost 1350 fractal relics and does nothing. “This item does not have an upgrade slot”
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Prototype_Fractal_Capacitor

2nd version Prototype Fractal Capacitor (Ascended) cost additional 500 fractal relics and has 1 infusion slot.
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Prototype_Fractal_Capacitor_

3rd version Beta Fractal Capacitor (Infused) cost additional 500 fractal relics and 250 globs of ectoplasm. 1infusion + 5AR. This was a required item for higher fractals.
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Beta_Fractal_Capacitor_

So for the extra 10 AR you use to need you had to spend 2300 fractal relics + 250 globs of ectoplasm. That’s a a lot of wasted effort now that cheaper infusion items are available. 2300 fractal relics buys me an extra 15 × 20 slot bags for characters. 250 ecto anythere 90 gold. Most people opted to spend the extra 500 relics and 250 ecto to move onto the 4th shiny version only because they had already spent so much on getting to the 3rd version and had a ugly but necessary skin to play high end fractals.

Doesn’t matter if you spent 1000 gold for the “useless” infusion slot, you paid that much knowing in advance and paid that much to get ahead.

Not going to jump to conclusions since I don’t know how it’ll be implemented. But I hope it isn’t a subscription based premium service, once of the things that kept me playing GW2 is the lack of a subscription, Though I suspect I’ve spent more money on the gems then I would have on a sub based game, I just like ot have a choice in what I buy or not buy, having a all inclusive sub still gives me a choice but I feel like I am forced to get the whole package just to get the few things I want.

If it’s based on how many gems you’ve bought from them directly (not from gold → gem conversion) and acts as an expereince counter and levels your rank up until you get to a certain point, then I’d fully support this. Since it gives the players an incentive to buy gems directly from them boosting their income vice going to a third party and buying gold to convert to gems. Now the players have an actual decision to make (aside from the moral/economical ones).

Question for you OP: if there was no leveling, no character progression, nothing to collect, and no gear to acquire, what would you do to play the game besides complain about lack of rewarding content?

Nothing but improving your skill. It’s the game just becomes a less skilled based FPS or a higher skill cap 3-d fighting game.

People will continue to complain regardless. Doesn’t matter if they know others to be greatly successful with only exotics to their name. Best way is to follow what Anet stance on this, stay silent and let them cry about Anet not responding to their cries. In reality no matter your reasoning, it just comes down to what they don’t want to do.

i don't CRAFT...i WvW.. Ascended Weaps/Armor

in Crafting

Posted by: Keiel.7489

Keiel.7489

without going into the WvW vs PvE argument. Your proposed method of getting an Ascended Weapon or Armor is laughable, if that went through there would be no need to make crafted Ascended Weapons/Armor BoE because no one would even bother to buy it. All of the ascended mats you have tons of in your bank are the same mats everyone have tons of in their bank and if they can afford to get crafting to 500 let alone able to craft the ascended piece then they would be able to craft it the Mystic Forge way 100x faster and cheaper.

Anet just needs to condense the requirement and lower the drop quantity. Those Mats are basically the old Karma currency. which btw if htey just made it into a currency would solve everything.

Why does BG always zerg? Here's why.

in WvW

Posted by: Keiel.7489

Keiel.7489

I just wish everyone quit crying about who blobs harder than the others, cause if we only take my experience into account while soloing BG and JQ only attacks if they outnumber you by at least 5:1 and if they are ballsy 2:1. If I run with my guild group then they’ll call in a map blob.

Not true in my experience. Fought XPK tonight at hills with around 25 people on the tag. After that 1 fight I never saw that guild tag again.

Of course, depends on the guilds you’re fighting. I rarely run from a fight unless it’s 3:1 or more. Some will run with even numbers, some will run into a tower and build 5 arrow carts (pretty sure you know which guilds do that :P) and some will even build open field ballistas and arrow carts. Depends on the time zone you’re running in and the guilds/commanders you’re facing.

I was there for our guild run. If you only seen us once then you probably came in at our last attempt at hills. It started out with us and 5 from FEAR we tried keeping it 20-25m. We got to Hills and there were a few responders followed by a large group. Each attempt at hills brought in more and more BG. We eventually had our own reinforcement come in but by that time there were already tons of BG being called in every hit. Half tired of fighting there and tired of the large groups we moved to EBG.

Guild Halls/Player Housing

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Keiel.7489

Keiel.7489

Anyone play Dark Age of Camelot? They had a pretty in depth player housing in which you bought a plot of land, bought a deed to whatever size house you could afford, then upgraded the decorations as you wanted. Each realm had a different architectural style and floor plans. You could also earn achievments during holidays to decorate your house, buy chests for extra storage, set up your own crafting tables, etc…. No doubt in GW2 they would probably charge gems for this though.

Their trading post was also located in player housing interestingly…you could search the listings at the entrance but had to actually walk/ride to the persons house that was selling the item unless you wanted to pay a huge fee. Yes you had to have a house with a merchant to sell your goods on the market. Of course they also had player to player trading as well, something GW2 does not

Honestly. I wouldn’t want any NPC convience in your housing, maybe limited NPC in the guild halls or maybe a close by “community hub”. But having the ability to have NPCs in your homes makes people withdraw from the social aspect of a MMO even more. I rather own a small house in LA than a mansion in the middle of nowhere.

Game Is Too Focused on Offense

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Keiel.7489

Keiel.7489

Likewise, I found in any class, first trait for maximum dmg (Power+Cond+Precision, or in rare cases, Pow+Prec+Crit)…

Just highlighting this, because Power, Prec and Crit is actually the best for damage not the rare case. One of this game selling base was that it went away from the trinity of Tank, Healer, DPS. Survival for the most part is on your own, there are specs that would greatly heal the party or take a ton of punishment. What would be the point though? In other games, WoW, for example Tank characters and Healers are required in almost every PvE scenario aside from questing, if it weren’t then people wouldn’t bothered to even play those, even towards the end of an expansion people will start running DPS builds for tanking and hybrid DPS healer builds for healing to get through the dungeons faster. Speed is the reward in those cases.

There is nothing stopping you from playing tanky or healer character if you and/or your party thinks its needed in a run, but aside from ultra lazy and not wanting to dodge I see no point in upping your passive survivabilty. Gear choices seems to be more for the multiple builds used in WvW more than it is for PvE. Even then WvW and PvP in general, as you and your guild/group gets more competent the more you can move towards a more DPS heavy builds. In the Ultra early days full serker was cool in WvW cause not everyone got 80 and fully geared, everyone was still learning the game so you got away with it, then suddenly it shifted to the PvT/Cleric for zerging, and then now back to leaning on offensive with defense on the active role vice passive.

Why does BG always zerg? Here's why.

in WvW

Posted by: Keiel.7489

Keiel.7489

Maybe those servers travel in huge groups to respond to BG’s groups.

80 man zerg respond to 30 of us? Sure.

I haven’t seen a group larger than 50 people in 1 zerg on BG for a very, very long time, unless it’s on EBG (which I rarely visit). We prefer splitting up into multiple groups tyvm.

Unless I’m tired and I’m reading you wrong and you meant responding to 2-3 of our groups on one map.

I haven’t seen it, so it doesn’t happen. I’ve seen one of it, it happens all the time.

SoR are starting to split up into smaller groups, and the fights with you guys have become increasingly more fun. You can’t deny your reputation as the server with the map blob though. Every server that’s faced you has come off saying the same thing.

Was leading a float team during Oceanic last night, group of around 20~25. Was on SoRBL, pincered JQ when they tried to float a force over with another float team led by Nocturnal and farmed many SoR bags when they entered our hills.

Having smaller groups just means that we can float to different maps and respond where necessary, rather than lose people in queue etc. Way more efficient.

I don’t disagree that SoR blobs up. But this must be a new thing to point out SoR as a blob server. Any T2 or below server will say any of the T1 server is a blob server, but between T1s? That’s a laughing matter, Pre season SoR runs multiple groups on a map, blobing up to deal with larger groups. Even during the season it has been pointed out and veryfied by BG members themselves that they blob harder than SoR, namely because they still run away with superior numbers. Suddnely after the season ends and BG adn JQ wants to claim non-blob mentality SoR gets blamed for blobbing?

Honestly, I wouldn’t know how much SoR blobs now since the attitude on SoR has soured my mood to really run with anyone not in my guild so if it’s not a guild run I go solo. I just wish everyone quit crying about who blobs harder than the others, cause if we only take my experience into account while soloing BG and JQ only attacks if they outnumber you by at least 5:1 and if they are ballsy 2:1. If I run with my guild group then they’ll call in a map blob.

I have no idea why people complain about getting zerged down and outnumbered when they solo/small man. I thought the point of solo/small man is to out smart and out think the zerg and larger groups? That your skill is not just limited to knowing the right combination of buttons to push but also have the intelligence to know when to move, know when to chase, and know when to intercept. The thrill of solo/small man is to catch larger groups off guard and take them down, but to fill the time you run and fight your duels and skirmishes until you get that 1% opportunity.

It’s a well known thing that a blob will move pass solo/small man groups 90% of the time unless they are withing the vacinity of the objective the blob is taking. You aren’t fighting the blob unless you dive into the center, certain guilds will not even stop to res their dead if they fell behind and got picked off. Why not use that knowledge to your advantage and pick off their stragglers?

Most importantly why complain, and to specify it as a server issue and make it sound like your server is so innocent. Sometimes I’ll get into duels with BG or JQ, ometimes there will be adds, sometimes they will just run off unless they have the obvious upper hand. Some will fight to the end and some will run away, some will spam emotes at you and act disrespectfully even if they outnumber you and some will just /bow after a good duel. None of this is a server specific trait.

Guild Halls/Player Housing

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Keiel.7489

Keiel.7489

It’s not the “when” but the “how” that is more important.

I think everyone has their idea of how guild halls and housing works, so if it’s one thing and nother the other all we will surely have is more gripes and complaints on the forums once it starts. If GW2 was a All out PvP game, I would say the best way is to have guild halls be placeable in normal zones with a radius for guildmembers homes being built. Much like Shadowbane. Guild halls could be fought over and/or destroyed, creating actual loss and a real gold sink. People would have to defend their guild lands and such.

With how GW2 is set up atm, that method is kind of pointless unless they make a seperate world or massive map where it is full on PvP with resource nodes to take if your guild hall is close to the area (can only mine the resource if your guild owns the land to prevent friendly mining of everything anyways).

If not the only thing I would be interested in is if they opened up player housing in already exisitng cities (including smaller towns and such) where there is a limited amount of estate. Players would bid for the house on sale on initial release, pay tax for the house, and even resell the house. If the player falls behind on his tax payments then house would go back on the market for bidding. To prevent some gold tychoon buying up everything they can make the tax based on the final bid.

Or they could do what WoW is doing and let you build personal forts and turn the game into castleville.

Anything bigger that what your group/guild is running at that very moment is a zerg on these boards. I’ve seen people claiming 10m being the zerg group that chased down their 5m team.

Small groups can still take on big groups, though I disagree with the OP completely. There is an organised and non-organised zergs. You shouldn’t be getting wrecked by casuals, they are easy target for an organised guild. If you haven’t learn to cut and kill then your small man is probably as mindless as the zerg.

Royal pass - advertise them better

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: Keiel.7489

Keiel.7489

instead of a “promotions” page, I’d really like a “what has changed since the last time I looked here” page to be what you see when you go to the gem store.
They had been advertising that royal terrace 2-week junk for weeks. then it gets changed to permanent for a day. I am not surprised I didn’t realize a word or two had changed in that ad.

When you open the BLTP it’s literally the first thing you see. They were 3 items that were on sale each of the three days. I’m not a super perceptive guy or anything, but the permanent royal pass had a different color, cost more and oddly for sale but weren’t “on sale” like the other 2 things.

I wouldn’t expect everyone to pull up google and investigate why on earth would Anet jack up the price on a royal terrace pass on a “sale” day without offering anything new, but hovering your mouse over it just to see if Anet bothered to put in what change did they make to the terrace to warrant the price increase.

Even if you don’t open the BLTC everyday they made the post on the front page of their site when the sale happened to let you know it was happening. And it’s been the norm to have weekend sales (not even because it’s the new years but one should expect something a bit more special during the new years).

Aside from all that, If you didn’t know, Anet makes their BLTC changes (if any) at midnight Server Time. Server Time is PST for those living in the states and for others its GMT -7 or GMT -8, depending on the time of the year. Or you can just set your mini map time to server time via the options menu.

If they had a inventory detection. Otherwise I think it’s more to prevent teleport/clipping hacks to allow non-buyers to get in without purchasing a pass. When you use the royal terrace pass it gets equipped as a bundle and takes you into the terrace. I think there is a 1 time check each time you are in that area, and if you have th pass at that time and remain in that area it allows you to stay. Each time you are detected it checks again.

I fluctuate between 100-3k gold often. Gold isn’t a good measure of wealth. Property wise, I have 25k+ gold with maybe 10k+ of that liquidatable.

I think there are a lot of people who overestimate how much gold some people have. It’s belieable for me to see someone with up to 50k gold, but in an older and now locked post a dev basically said it’s a straight up false claim for 100k+. They could claim 100k of property and liquid along with gold, but if everyone dumped all their materials the next day to check and price were to average out I suspect it not to be as high when the market gets flooded with all the hoarders.

Are you new to the forums? People have been asking for this, that’s why Anet changed it back to low variety cause of constant crying from blow out matches. As for people talking about same color and not being able to get your map completion or whatever, are you guys PvEers? I’m pretty sure there isn’t a point on the map you can’t get no matter what color you are. Try WvWing and taking some towers/keeps maybe?

WvW Warrior Roaming - Salvation build

I’ve been messing around with GS/rifle (I’m sure there are plenty of others after the patch). My build is pretty much the same as yours minus the runes/sigil/food choices since I’m a bit more YOLO for roaming ~ that and I haven’t invested in a proper set for roaming (using PvE Serker/assassin with scholars). I haven’t gotten around to watching your videos (at work) but how do you deal with multiples (of 80s, no uplevels)? I usually have to high-tail it out of there unless I get a series of good hits in and down one of the quickly, which isn’t the case most of the time.

Aside from that I’m having fun with it, my favorite combo so far is Bull Rush > Frenzy > 100B > Wait for their evade > swap > Killshot. In my experience even non-hasted killshot lands 50% of the time in 1v1s. It’s highly telegraphed but the time it takes seems like it also throws the enemys dodge timing off, ether that or they try to stealth out of it but forgets that once channeled the ability continues to track.

While this post can be in WvW or Warrior section, I think you’ll get better answers in the warrior section. WvW forums is only for crying.

Looks like you are mostly sitting on Unsuspecting Foe? Or are you using it for Forceful Greatsword? What trinkets are available to you?

Default I suggest Full Serker since you can swap out some trinkets (easier and cheaper to obtain) for survivability. If you are going with UF traited ( which I don’t think) then I would probably go with cavalier and maybe something like this to keep you unbuffed critchance at 30%.

Hi, Im only going for UF when I play MSh/GS (Forceful Greatsword is my choice for H/GS).

So you would say that Full Serker should do the best job?

I would say yes. But it also depends on your trinket choices, if you use knights or something without crit damage on your trinkets then its better to do serker trinkets and knights for your armor (the stat weight is better this way). If you do crit damage stat on both trinket and armor then I would just go serker armor.

Axe vs. sword with GS

in Warrior

I’ve tried axe last night for solo roaming (was GS/rifle). Evis still hits pretty dependably, even if it’s highly telegraph, and the best part about the burst skill is that it doesn’t use up your adrenaline unless you hit them. Most people in WvW still twitch evade and they evade the hits they should be taking and then eat the really big ones. All of your big attacks are on a relatively low CD. Even a random 100b makes people evade, rather than taking 1-2 hits and be behind you, people will evade your trip chop, and then even if you miss your evis, you can do it again after weapon swapping to your GS and then back to axe.

With that said though I rather use riffle build. The burst his higher and their burst skill tracks the enemy through stealth, and even dodgers have a hard time of timing evade on kill shot because of how oddly slow it is. The benefit is of course you have a offhand if you use Axe, my choice was WH or Mace.

Here’s my build anyways, it’s super squish and it relies on your putting heavy pressure on them to keep them playing defensive. GS for escape/kite.

Zerkers are unfairly downscaled

Even if it is… how can you tell? as a zerker I can either 1 shot or 2 shot any mob that isn’t in a level 70+ zone…

I was going to make a remark to regarding this. But I think people are going to point out champs and such. If I got my full crit damage in a low level zone, I’ll be a 1 man champion wrecking ball.

There’s no point. If they add a new race, Gem Store unlock. If they add a new class, Gem Store unlock. New giant map that has uber new content, Gem Store unlock. New dungeon tiers, Gem Store unlock. Mini Pet arena, Gem Store unlock. New level cap, everyone ragequits.

I would just make it from the existing pool of Legendaries. If new legendaries do come out, I doubt it’ll be using the same materials. Anet seems to love introducing more materials for us to gather.

The “speed clear” teams and the “anyone but speed clear” groups are just the same thing. Demanding players stick to some arbitrary rule-set they came up with or follow.

No. They are not demanding anyone to play a certain ruleset they have came up with. They are advertising for people with the same mindset to join them in this particular run. If you are incappable or unwanting, simply do nothing. Don’t click the join button. If you join then adher to their rules. If you joined a Hardcore WvW guild who has a raid requirement of 6pm-10pm, don’t join if you are going to PvE and “play how you want”. There are plenty of casual dungeon runs and plenty of casual guilds you can join.
